In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in our quarterly earnings press releases and other public disclosures. The non-GAAP financial measures include: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding other costs, (ii) net income (loss) attributable to NOW Inc. excluding other costs and (iii) diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to NOW Inc. stockholders excluding other costs. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain other costs and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the schedules herein.

 

 

(2)

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the income retained by the noncontrolling party of a joint venture in our international segment which we consolidate into our financials as we are the primary beneficiary and controlling member.

 

 

(3)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Other of approximately $2 million, included in warehousing, selling and administrative, was related to legal fees for litigation matters that were not ordinary or routine to the operations of the business where the Company is seeking damages.

 

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Other also included approximately $4 million of separation and transaction-related charges, as well as, approximately $10 million of impairment and other charges related to the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by a benefit of approximately $13 million related to the decrease of contingent consideration liability, which was included in other income.

 

 

(4)

EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue.

 

 

(5)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Other, net of tax included a benefit of approximately $8 million from changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets, partially offset by approximately $2 million related to legal fees for litigation matters that were not ordinary or routine to the operations of the business where the Company is seeking damages.

 

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Other, net of tax included a benefit of approximately $21 million from changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets, as well as, a benefit of approximately $13 million related to the decrease of contingent consideration liability, partially offset by approximately $10 million of impairment and other charges, approximately $4 million in separation and transaction-related charges and $2 million related to legal fees for litigation matters discussed above. The Company has excluded the impact of these items on its valuation allowance in computing net income (loss) excluding other costs.
