NOW, Inc. (DNOW) Misses Q3 EPS by 2c
NOW, Inc. (NYSE: DNOW) reported Q3 EPS of $0.30, $0.02 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.32. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.07 million versus the consensus estimate of $1.07 million.
Robert Workman, President and CEO of NOW Inc., commented, “The third quarter of 2014 marked DistributionNOW’s first full quarter as a stand-alone public entity. We delivered strong sequential sales growth, emerging from a disruptive second quarter, where we had completed a spinoff, expanded our ERP platform globally and continued the integration process for three large distribution businesses. We are encouraged that the organization was able to achieve these results organically, demonstrating that many of the challenges we experienced in the second quarter have been resolved. In the quarter, we completed the corporate structure build-out required to support DNOW as a stand-alone company, which limited incremental operating margins in the period.
“While we are aware of the recent decline and the potential for further volatility in commodity prices, our healthy balance sheet and our experienced management team and employees help position our Company well to respond to any such market conditions. I would like to thank our employees for all of their contributions towards this recovery, which is even more impressive given all of the disruptions they’ve experienced.”
