Halliburton Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

• Reported net income of $0.29 per diluted share
• Adjusted net income of $0.35 per diluted share

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today net income of $263 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2021 of $170 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2022, excluding impairments and other charges and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt, was $314 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. Halliburton’s total revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $4.3 billion compared to revenue of $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Reported operating income was $511 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to reported operating income of $370 million in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding impairments and other charges, adjusted operating income was $533 million in the first quarter of 2022.

“I am pleased with Halliburton’s first quarter results. Our performance demonstrated the resilience of our unique strategy in action and the importance of our competitive positioning both in North America and international markets.

“Total company revenue increased 24% and adjusted operating income grew 44% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Both of our divisions delivered strong margin performance despite weather and supply chain disruptions, with Drilling and Evaluation margin eclipsing 15% in the first quarter for the first time since 2010.

“We see significant tightness across the entire oil and gas value chain in North America. Supportive commodity prices and strengthening customer demand against an almost sold-out equipment market are expected to drive expansion in Completion and Production division margins.

“I expect our strong international business to increase throughout the remainder of the year. First quarter revenue growth in all our international regions together with North America demonstrates that this multi-year upcycle is well underway.

“I’m excited about the accelerating pace of global activity, pricing improvement, and Halliburton’s strong outlook. With our unique value proposition, clearly defined strategic priorities, leading technology portfolio, and global market presence, I expect Halliburton will deliver profitable growth, strong free cash flow and industry-leading returns,” concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $2.4 billion, an increase of $483 million, or 26%, when compared to the first quarter of 2021, while operating income was $296 million, an increase of $44 million, or 17%. These results were driven by increased pressure pumping services and artificial lift activity in the Western Hemisphere, higher completion tool sales throughout the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East, increased cementing activity in Africa and Middle East/Asia, and improved well intervention services in North America land and the Eastern Hemisphere. These improvements were partially offset by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Europe and lower completion tool sales throughout Asia.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.9 billion, an increase of $350 million, or 22%, when compared to the first quarter of 2021, while operating income was $294 million, an increase of $123 million, or 72%. These results were due to increased drilling-related services globally, improved wireline activity in North America land, Latin America, and the Middle East, increased testing services internationally, and higher project management activity in Latin America, India, and Oman. Partially offsetting these increases were lower project management activity in Iraq, as well as lower fluid services in the Caribbean, Brunei, and Mozambique.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.9 billion, a 37% increase when compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily driven by increased pressure pumping activity and drilling-related services in North America land, higher stimulation, artificial lift, and drilling-related activity in Canada, and higher completion tool sales in the Gulf of Mexico. These increases were partially offset by reduced fluid services in the Gulf of Mexico.

International

International revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $2.4 billion, a 15% increase when compared to the first quarter of 2021. This improvement was primarily driven by increased activity across multiple product service lines in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Egypt, increased drilling-related activity in Europe/Africa/CIS and Latin America, improved well construction services in the Middle East, Colombia, and West Africa, increased testing services in all regions, and higher completion tool sales throughout the Middle East and Latin America. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced activity across multiple product service lines in the United Kingdom and lower completion tool sales in Norway and throughout Asia.

Latin America revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $653 million, a 22% increase year over year due to improved activity across multiple product service lines in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, increased well construction services in Colombia, higher completion tool sales in Guyana, improved project management activity in Ecuador and Colombia, increased testing services and wireline activity across the region, and increased artificial lift activity in Ecuador. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced fluid services in the Caribbean and lower project management and stimulation activity in Mexico.

Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $677 million, a 7% increase year over year. This improvement was primarily driven by higher activity across multiple product service lines in Egypt, increased drilling-related activity in Azerbaijan, increased well intervention and testing services across the region, improved well construction services in West Africa, and higher completion tool sales and cementing activity in Angola. These increases were partially offset by reduced activity across multiple product service lines in the United Kingdom, reduced well construction services and completion tool sales in Norway, and decreased fluid services in Mozambique.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.0 billion, a 17% increase year over year, primarily resulting from improved well construction services in Saudi Arabia and Oman, increased wireline activity and completion tool sales in the Middle East, and increased testing services across the region. These increases were partially offset by reduced project management activity in Iraq, lower completion tool sales throughout Asia, decreased fluid services in Brunei, and lower stimulation activity in Bangladesh.

Other Financial Items

• Halliburton recorded a pre-tax charge of $22 million in the first quarter of 2022 primarily related to the write down of all its assets in Ukraine, including $16 million in receivables, due to the ongoing conflict. This charge was included in "Impairments and other charges" on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

• Halliburton redeemed $600 million of its $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.80% Senior Notes due November 2025. The redemption of the notes resulted in a loss of $42 million consisting of premiums and unamortized expenses. This first quarter loss was included in "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Selective Technology & Highlights

• Halliburton opened the Halliburton Chemical Reaction Plant – the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia – to manufacture a broad range of chemicals for the entire oil and gas value chain as well as many other industries. The facility expands Halliburton’s manufacturing footprint in the Eastern Hemisphere and strengthens and accelerates its ability to serve the chemical needs of Middle East customers.

• Halliburton introduced Obex™ IsoLock™, a new compression-set packer that prevents sustained casing pressure. The Obex IsoLock packer collar serves as an effective barrier to mitigate fluid migration and support multiple-stage cementing through integrated stage cementing ports in the tool.

• Halliburton introduced StrataStar™, a deep azimuthal resistivity service that provides multilayer visualization to maximize well contact with the reservoir and improve real-time reserves evaluation. For more decisive well placement, the StrataStar service acquires real-time measurement and visualization of surrounding geology and fluids up to 30 feet around the wellbore. It applies a sophisticated algorithm to accurately map the position, thickness, and resistivity of interbedded rock and fluid layers to stay within targeted boundaries.

• Halliburton announced that Petrobel, a joint venture between ENI and the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, awarded it a contract to deploy iEnergy® Stack, Halliburton’s cloud solution that runs on-premise, to manage petrotechnical software applications.

• Halliburton announced that Energean plc, an independent E&P company focused on developing resources in the Mediterranean and the North Sea, awarded it a study to assess carbon storage potential of the Prinos basin in Greece.

• Halliburton announced the addition of Ms. Tobi Young and Mr. Earl Cummings to its board of directors. The appointments went into effect on February 23, 2022, and both will stand for election by shareholders at the annual meeting on May 18, 2022.

• Halliburton Labs selected three new companies to participate in its collaborative environment to advance and scale cleaner, affordable energy. Chemergy, EVA, and Novamera will receive access to a broad range of industrial capabilities, technical expertise, and global network connections to scale their respective businesses. Halliburton Labs also added two new advisory board members – Jennifer Holmgren, CEO, LanzaTech and Maynard Holt, CEO, Veriten.

(b)	Management believes that operating income adjusted for impairments and other charges for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes operating income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustments remove the effect of these items. Adjusted operating income is calculated as: “As reported operating income” plus "Total impairments and other charges" for the respective periods.
