compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding $12 million in pre-tax

million, or $1.37 per fully diluted share, up nine percent from the

for oilfield equipment.
Pete Miller, Chairman, President and CEO of National Oilwell Varco,
remarked, 'We achieved solid results in 2011. The Company posted record
revenues, net income, and orders for capital equipment, which at $10.8
billion for the year handily beat our previous high of $7.3 billion. We
used the year to focus on efficiency and technology, while continuing to
invest for future growth, to position National Oilwell Varco to
capitalize on extraordinary opportunities emerging in the oil and gas
industry.
We enter 2012 with strong financial resources, $3.5 billion in cash, a
solid backlog, and an experienced team capable of delivering great
service and products to our customers. We believe that the oil and gas
industry will continue to need to upgrade the world′s rig fleet, and we
look forward to continuing to help our customers retool their rigs to
improve safety, reduce environmental impact, and drive higher
efficiency. I thank all of our dedicated employees for their hard work
and outstanding execution this year.?

Note 1: EBITDA excluding other costs means earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other costs, and is a non-GAAP
financial measurement. Management uses EBITDA excluding other costs
because it believes it provides useful supplemental information
regarding the Company′s on-going economic performance and, therefore,
uses this financial measure internally to evaluate and manage the
Company′s operations. The Company has chosen to provide this information
to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of
operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going
operations.
