EBITDA excluding other costs was $42 million or 6.9% of revenue for the third quarter of 2024
Cash provided by operating activities was $74 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $281 million for the trailing four quarters ending September 30, 2024
Repurchased $7 million of common stock in the third quarter of 2024
Cash and cash equivalents was $261 million and long-term debt was zero at September 30, 2024 with total liquidity of approximately $622 million

David Cherechinsky, President and CEO of DNOW, added, “The Company achieved solid results this quarter with year-over-year revenue growth, despite project delays in the period, thanks to the hard work of our dedicated employees, who provide a differentiated level of service and products to our customers every day.

We generated an additional $72 million in free cash flow during the quarter, yielding $273 million for the trailing four quarters, driven by record performance in our U.S. Process Solutions business, strong acquisition contribution and robust inventory velocity. These results were produced in a challenging oil and gas environment, with the backdrop of lower commodity prices and a wave of customer consolidations.

We repurchased $7 million of shares in the quarter and are on a path to complete the $80 million share repurchase program this year, as planned. We are well-positioned, with $261 million in cash and no debt, enjoying a range of options to pursue growth, deploy capital, drive efficiencies and generate improved returns for our shareholders.”

Prior to the earnings conference call a presentation titled “DNOW Third Quarter 2024 Key Takeaways” will be available on the Company’s Investor Relations website.
