News Release

Weatherford Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

BAAR, SWITZERLAND, July 27, 2018 - Weatherford International plc (NYSE: WFT) reported a net loss of $264 million, or a loss of $0.26 per share for the second quarter of 2018.

Weatherford’s non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2018, which excludes unusual charges and credits, was $156 million, or $0.16, diluted loss per share. This compares to a $188 million non-GAAP net loss in the prior quarter, or $0.19 diluted loss per share, and a $282 million non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2017, or $0.28 diluted loss per share.

Significant Highlights
Segment operating income improved by 73% sequentially and by 195% on a year-over-year basis.
The annualized impact of recurring transformation benefits improved to $192 million – an increase of 78% compared to first quarter 2018 and representing 19% of our transformation target.
A definitive agreement was signed to sell Weatherford’s land drilling rig business in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Algeria for cash proceeds of $287.5 million.
Weatherford’s Magnus push-the-bit rotary steerable system was successfully launched and completed jobs in multiple countries.
An alliance with Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions was formed to jointly commercialize electrical submersible pumps (ESPs).
Weatherford sold its 50% interest in the Sunita Hydrocolloids Inc. joint venture in July 2018.

Revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $1.45 billion, which increased 2% from the $1.42 billion of revenue in the prior quarter and 6% from the $1.36 billion of revenue reported for the second quarter of 2017. Revenues increased sequentially on higher rig count and improved product mix in the U.S., integrated service projects in Mexico, seasonal improvement in the North Sea and higher activity levels in Saudi Arabia and Asia, offset by the seasonal slowdown associated with spring breakup in Canada.

Year-over-year revenue growth was driven by results in the Western Hemisphere, attributable to increased production and completions work in the U.S. and additional integrated service projects activity in Mexico. In the Eastern Hemisphere, higher volume in Saudi Arabia was offset by a reduced number of offshore projects in West Africa and Asia combined with adverse exchange rate effects in Russia.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $73 million. Excluding unusual charges and credits, segment operating income in the second quarter of 2018 was $69 million, up $29 million or 73%, sequentially and up $142 million, or 195%, year-over-year. The sequential improvement in the Western Hemisphere was due to overall increased activity levels, a favorable product mix and improved operational efficiency associated with Weatherford’s transformation efforts. Eastern Hemisphere operating income increased primarily due to transformation initiatives resulting in a lower cost structure.

The year-over-year operating income improvements were driven by production and completions activity increases in the U.S. and market share gains in Latin America, combined with lower operating costs from the transformation initiatives in both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres.

In the quarter, we recorded pre-tax charges of $109 million, which consist of $70 million in impairments and asset write-downs, primarily related to land drilling rigs, $38 million in restructuring and transformation charges and $11 million in Angolan kwanza currency devaluation charges, partially offset by a $10 million credit related to the fair value adjustment of the outstanding warrant.

In the second quarter of 2018, incremental recurring benefits as a result of the transformation plan were $21 million. Total recognized recurring operating improvements during the second quarter were $48 million, or $192 million on an annualized basis, representing 19% of our $1 billion target.

Mark A. McCollum, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have taken significant steps to strengthen our organization and lay the foundation for sustainable growth. Our second quarter results reflect improvement in revenues, segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA and confirm that we are on the path to becoming a stronger and healthier company. As global activity levels continue to improve and our transformation continues to gain momentum, I remain confident that we will reach our previously outlined operational and financial objectives, including achieving $1 billion in annualized recurring adjusted EBITDA benefit by year-end 2019.”

McCollum continued, “Seasonal trends worked against us this quarter, causing us to miss our working capital objectives and, in turn, our cash flow target. The entire organization, however, remains intensely focused on delivering our objective of breakeven free cash flow for the year, and remedial actions have already been implemented to get us back on plan. With a clear mission, the right structure, and a solid strategy, our team is embracing this challenge head-on. We are continuing to drive significant change across all aspects of our business to better position Weatherford to create value for all of our stakeholders.” 

Land Drilling Rigs
Weatherford signed a definitive agreement with ADES International for the sale of the land drilling rig operations in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Algeria as well as two idle rigs in Iraq for cash proceeds of $287.5 million. The remainder of the fleet will be sold over the coming quarters.

Operational highlights in the land drilling rigs business during the quarter include:
The business received award letters for contract extensions in Algeria, Colombia, Egypt, India, Iraq, Kuwait, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
The fleet achieved the lowest amount of nonproductive time during rig moves since 2016.
10 rigs have operated without a recordable incident for periods ranging from 1 to 17 years.

Cash Flow
Net cash used by operating activities was $130 million for the second quarter of 2018, driven by cash payments of $99 million for debt interest and $29 million for cash severance, restructuring and transformation. Second quarter total capital expenditures of $48 million, including investments in held for sale land drilling rigs, increased by $10 million, or 26%, sequentially and increased $6 million or 14% from the same quarter in the prior year.

Western Hemisphere

Second quarter revenues of $769 million were up $13 million or 2% sequentially, and up $91 million, or 13%, year-over-year. The sequential growth resulted from higher U.S. rig counts, more favorable product mix and increased activity in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia, offset by the spring breakup in Canada. Year-over-year revenues increased on higher activity levels for the Completions, Production and Well Construction product lines in the U.S. and from growth in integrated service projects in Mexico.

Second quarter segment operating income of $50 million was up $26 million, sequentially and up $101 million year-over-year. The sequential increase resulted from the revenue drivers described above and reduced operating costs due to the transformation efforts. Year-over-year results improved due to increased activity levels in the U.S. and Mexico, offset by a more severe impact from the spring breakup in Canada. A change in revenue recognition in Venezuela reduced operating results in the second quarter of the prior year.

Operational highlights in the Western Hemisphere during the quarter include:
Weatherford was awarded a 5-year contract worth $300 million by a major operator in Argentina. The contract entails fracturing, coiled tubing, wireline, completions and testing services.
Weatherford was awarded a 5-year contract worth $270 million to provide multiple product line services for a major operator in Colombia. The contract includes services for fracturing, coiled tubing, wireline, fishing, re-entry, tubular running, completions and testing, among others.
Indications of demand for Weatherford’s RotaFlex® long-stroke pumping units in the U.S. for the second half of 2018 are double the rate of deliveries we made during the first half of the year.

Several U.S. operators in major basins signed new software contracts with Weatherford. One of the contracts engaged Weatherford to install ForeSite® production optimization software on approximately 26,000 wells.
Weatherford has increased integrated project activity for development wells in Mexico, with services ranging from drilling to completions. In one offshore well, Weatherford reduced the expected operational time by 22 days, equal to $2 million, by deploying proven technologies, including two RipTide® drilling reamers and the Microflux® control system.
In an onshore oil well in Mexico, the Weatherford Magnus rotary steerable system increased the rate of penetration, which improved the drilling time by approximately 50%.
In a cased-hole well in Colombia, Weatherford used the shallow-angle QuickCut™ casing-exit system to complete a sidetrack, which saved 7.5 hours of rig time compared to window-milling estimates. The sidetrack enabled reaching total depth without drilling a new well, which saved the customer approximately $2 million.
Weatherford commercially deployed the recently launched WFXØ® openhole gravel-pack system for an offshore project in Brazil. The system was configured to perform a multizone acid job from a single point, and oil production increased by 32%.

Eastern Hemisphere

Second quarter revenues of $679 million were up $12 million or 2% sequentially, and down $6 million or 1% year-over-year. The sequential increase was primarily due to seasonal improvement in the North Sea and from completions activity in Saudi Arabia and Asia, offset by decreased Production deliveries in Kuwait. Year-over-year revenues decreased slightly with increased completions and well construction activity in Saudi Arabia offset by fewer offshore projects in West Africa and Asia combined with adverse exchange rate effects in Russia.

Second quarter segment operating income of $19 million was up $3 million sequentially, and up $41 million year-over-year. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily due to improvements from transformation initiatives and a lower cost structure.

Operational highlights in the Eastern Hemisphere during the quarter include:
Weatherford delivered managed pressure drilling (MPD) technologies that mitigated risks in a gas-well drilling campaign in the Middle East. The technologies enabled drilling the well sections to total depth despite the ultranarrow window and high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. Compared to conventional drilling methods, MPD reduced the average drilling time by 15 days.
In two wells in the Middle East, Weatherford supplied completions and cementing equipment, including the SwageSet VØ packoff stage tool. The 13 3/8-inch tool size proved successful in its first two runs and the seal eliminated casing-to-casing annular gas migration.
Weatherford marked its return to the Kuwait liner-hanger business by securing a sizable contract. As a result of the awards, Weatherford will extend traditional field of operations into the deep drilling sector.
Weatherford replaced an incumbent wireline service provider on an onshore oil well in Kuwait. By conveying Compact tools through drillpipe, Weatherford secured the requested data with zero nonproductive time.
Working closely alongside the operator, Weatherford devised a completion solution including Maxflo® chrome premium sand screens. The solution maximized reservoir contact for 2,646 feet with the longest 4 1/2-inch Maxflo® sand screen installation in a 5 7/8-inch openhole gas well.
Weatherford was awarded a 3-year contract for tubular running services in 11 wells as part of a critical project for delivering cleaner burning natural gas in Australia. The win can be credited to Weatherford’s leading technology and track record for delivering incident-free operations with low nonproductive time.

Reclassifications

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G) may provide users of this financial information, additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods and comparisons with peer companies. The non-GAAP amounts shown in the following tables should not be considered as substitutes for operating income, provision for income taxes, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a)
On January 1, 2018, we adopted the accounting standard related to taxes on intra-entity transfers of non-inventory assets on a modified retrospective basis and the impact from this adoption was to record the previously recorded prepaid taxes as an adjustment to retained earnings. In addition we also adopted the revenue recognition accounting standard and recorded the cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet as an adjustment to retained earnings.
