The Company has a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion, which matures on September 12, 2029. The Company has the right to increase the aggregate commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA), or Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (NIBOR), plus 1.25%, subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant establishing a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with this covenant, with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 23.8%, and had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $1.5 billion of available funds.

A consolidated joint venture of the Company borrowed $120 million against a $150 million bank line of credit, payable by June 2032, for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia. Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon SOFR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of December 31, 2025, the joint venture was in compliance and will not have future borrowings on the line of credit. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a carrying value of $84 million in borrowings related to this line of credit. The carrying value of debt under the Company’s consolidated joint venture approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of current market rates. The Company has $11 million in payments related to this line of credit due in the next twelve months. The Company can repay the entire outstanding facility balance without penalty at its sole discretion.

Other debt at December 31, 2025 included $46 million of amounts owed to current and former minority interest partners of NOV consolidated joint ventures, of which $19 million is due in the next twelve months.

The Company had $946 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2025, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,353 million and $1,285 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those of similar instruments. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,589 million and $1,587 million, respectively.
