National Oilwell Varco Inc. (NOV) swung to a profit in the third
quarter, helped by a recovery in commodity prices. But results fell
short of expectations.
The company reported profit of $1 million, compared with a
year-earlier loss of $26 million, or 7 cents a share.
Revenue rose 17% to $2.15 billion.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected 11 cents a share on $2.21
billion in revenue.
Chief Executive Clay Williams attributed lower sales to a
slowdown in North America.
During the third quarter, the company saw higher demand for
conductor pipe connections--a leading indicator of future offshore
wells--signaling offshore activity will be picking up, he said.
"We also see pockets of demand strengthening in certain
international land markets, as operators respond to generally
higher commodity prices," Mr. Williams said in a statement.
