Halliburton Announces Fourth Quarter 2023 Results and Increases Dividend

  • Net income of $0.74 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share1 of $0.86, excluding losses in Argentina primarily due to currency devaluation.
  • Revenue of $5.7 billion and operating margin of 18%.
  • Cash flow from operations of $1.4 billion and free cash flow2 of $1.1 billion.
  • 2024 first quarter dividend increases by $0.01 per share to $0.17 per share.

HOUSTON--()--Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today net income of $661 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. This compares to net income for the third quarter of 2023 of $716 million, or $0.79 per diluted share. Adjusted net income3 for the fourth quarter of 2023, excluding losses in Argentina primarily due to the currency devaluation, was $769 million, or $0.86 per diluted share. Halliburton's total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.7 billion, flat when compared to the third quarter of 2023. Operating income was $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023, a 2% increase when compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Total revenue for the full year of 2023 was $23.0 billion, an increase of $2.7 billion, or 13% from 2022. Operating income for 2023 was $4.1 billion, compared to 2022 operating income of $2.7 billion and adjusted operating income4 of $3.1 billion, excluding impairments and other charges related to our exit from Russia.

"2023 was a great year for Halliburton, both of our divisions achieved their highest operating margins in over a decade," commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.

"We generated about $2.3 billion of free cash flow during the year, retired approximately $300 million of debt, and returned $1.4 billion of cash to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends, which represents over 60% of our free cash flow.

"I am excited about 2024. The outlook for oilfield services demand remains strong. I expect we will deepen and strengthen our value proposition, and generate significant free cash flow," concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.3 billion, a decrease of $170 million, or 5%, sequentially, while operating income was $716 million, a decrease of $30 million, or 4%. Margins remained flat to the third quarter. These results were driven by reduced stimulation activity in U.S. land and Mexico, lower artificial lift activity in U.S. land, and decreased completion tool sales in Latin America. Partially offsetting these declines were higher year end completion tool sales in the Gulf of Mexico, Africa, and the Middle East.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $2.4 billion, an increase of $105 million, or 5%, sequentially, while operating income was $420 million, an increase of $42 million, or 11%. These results were driven by improved software sales in the Middle East/Asia, Africa, and Latin America, along with increased fluid services in the Western Hemisphere and Africa. Partially offsetting these improvements was weather related reductions in drilling-related activity in Norway.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $2.4 billion, a 7% decrease sequentially. This decline was primarily driven by lower stimulation activity in U.S. land. Partially offsetting this decrease were improved stimulation activity and higher completion tool sales in the Gulf of Mexico.

International

International revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.3 billion, a 4% increase sequentially.

Latin America revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $1.0 billion, a decrease of 2% sequentially. This decline was primarily due to decreased completion tool sales in Brazil, lower stimulation activity in Mexico, and lower project management activity in Colombia. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher project management activity in Ecuador and improved activity across multiple product service lines in the Caribbean.

Europe/Africa revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $767 million, an increase of 4% sequentially. This increase was primarily driven by higher activity across multiple product service lines in Africa, partially offset by lower completion tool sales in the Caspian Area and Norway.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $1.5 billion, an increase of 7% sequentially. This increase was primarily due to improved activity across multiple product service lines in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, and higher completion tool sales in the United Arab Emirates. Partially offsetting these improvements were decreased drilling-related services in Indonesia and lower pressure pumping services in Asia.

Other Financial Items

During the fourth quarter of 2023, Halliburton:

  • Repurchased approximately $250 million of common stock.
  • Repurchased approximately $150 million of debt across multiple senior notes, notes due, and global debentures, using cash on hand.
  • Spent $15 million on our SAP S4 migration.
  • Incurred approximately $109 million due to Argentina currency devaluation and Blue Chip Swap losses.

Halliburton's board of directors declared a 2024 first quarter dividend of seventeen cents ($0.17) per share on the Company’s common stock payable on March 27, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 6, 2024.

Selective Technology & Highlights

  • Halliburton introduced EquiFlow® Density autonomous inflow control device (AICD). This first-of-its-kind device addresses reservoir fluid uncertainties and allows the operator to enhance hydrocarbon recovery in wells where current autonomous technologies are limited. EquiFlow Density uses an innovative density amplifier designed to differentiate reservoir fluids. It incorporates a fluid selector to magnify density forces by creating artificial gravity while making the device completely orientation neutral. The fluid selector opens or closes autonomously to restrict water without any surface intervention. The tool provides a meaningful reduction in water influx, which is typically treated at the surface.
  • Halliburton and Core Laboratories Inc. announced a strategic collaboration in the U.S. to compress the delivery time of cutting-edge comprehensive digital rock data solutions from months to weeks, even while full petrophysical laboratory measurements are in progress. This collaboration combines Core Lab's industry-leading expertise in reservoir description and optimization technologies with Halliburton’s specialization in pore-scale digital rock analysis. The collaboration facilitates the seamless integration of best-in-class digital rock characterization at a nano, micro and macro level, which will enable U.S. clients to run pore-scale simulations in parallel with physical laboratory experiments. These enhancements will drive the accuracy and innovation of new and existing digital rock characterization workflows.
  • Halliburton, and AIQ, joined with ADNOC to successfully launch an AI-enabled Autonomous Well Control solution, RoboWell, across the ADNOC's North East Bab asset in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The project, which is the first ever AI-supported Advanced Process Control solution for gas lifted wells, enables autonomous wells that can self-adjust to maximize production within specified operating conditions. The RoboWell system utilizes real time data to continuously react to changing oil field dynamics, and to optimize production processes, as well as ensure operation within safety parameters to minimize well instability and reduce the risk of stoppages or other incidents.
  • Halliburton and Oil States Industries, Inc. announced a strategic collaboration that combines two award-winning technology sets to provide customers with innovative deepwater managed pressure drilling (MPD) solutions. MPD provides operators with improved control when navigating narrow pressure windows compared to conventional drilling. The collaboration between Halliburton and Oil States will provide operators and drilling contractors with an effective and flexible MPD product-service combination to safely access greater operational efficiencies like ease of handling and streamlined installation.
  • Halliburton and Sekal AS announced an agreement to jointly provide leading well construction automation solutions as part of a longer-term strategy to deliver fully automated drilling operations. Under the agreement, Halliburton and Sekal are collaborating on several technologies and services that incorporate Halliburton's digitally integrated well construction solutions and the Sekal DrillTronics automation platform. In addition, both parties’ remote operations centers will provide expertise and support to these offerings.
  • Halliburton announced it will work with Libra Consortium, led by Petrobras, to develop a digital twin for a pre-salt field system in Brazil. The Libra digital twin will help the consortium reduce capital expenditures, accelerate production times, and improve crude oil recovery rates using new insights obtained in a real-time environment. The digital twin is a virtual representation of the physical asset that replicates its behavior and characteristics. It allows operators to run “what if” scenarios to improve decision-making and maximize operational predictability for optimal field development.
  • Halliburton Labs won Best Energy Team recognition at the 2023 Ally Energy GRIT Awards. These awards honor people and organizations focused on growth, resilience, innovation, and transition (GRIT) that impact energy, sustainability, and the climate.
  • Halliburton Labs announced Airovation Technologies, Ayrton Energy, Cache Energy, CENS, Disa Technologies, Marel Power Solutions, and XtraLit as the newest participants in its collaborative environment. The addition of these new participants is part of Halliburton Labs' ambition to advance energy and climate innovation and help early-stage companies by contributing expertise, connections, facilities, and more to achieve strategic scaling milestones.
  • Halliburton Labs participating companies OCOChem, Ionada and Disa Technologies each separately announced they successfully closed equity funding in the fourth quarter. This marked the most active funding quarter for participants in Halliburton Labs since inception.

(a)

During the year ended December 31, 2022 Halliburton recorded $366 million of impairments and other charges, primarily due to our decision to market for sale the net assets of our Russia operations and impairment of the assets in Ukraine.

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure which is calculated as: “Operating income” plus "Total impairments and other charges" for the respective periods. Management believes that operating income adjusted for impairments and other charges 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.

 

 

 

 

 

(c)

We calculate operating margin by dividing operating income by revenue. We calculate adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, by dividing adjusted operating income by revenue. Management believes adjusted operating margin is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance.
