In its 2Q 2023 financial results posted on Aug. 2, the Houston-based oilfield products distributor recorded EBITDA, excluding other costs for the quarter, of $47 million or 7.9% of revenue. David Cherechinsky, NOW President and CEO, said in a news release that this was the most profitable first half of the year NOW has had since being a public company.

“In the second quarter we produced strong free cash flow of $79 million, completed two acquisitions and recorded an impressive 22% year-over-year growth in our international segment,” Cherechinsky said.

NOW’s sales growth in the quarter was down from 23.5% in 1Q23.
