Halliburton : Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

Reported net loss of $1.91 per diluted share Adjusted net income of $0.05 per diluted share, excluding impairments and other charges Cash flow from operating activities of $598 million and free cash flow of $456 million

Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today a net loss of $1.7 billion, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020. This compares to a net loss for the first quarter of 2020 of $1.0 billion, or $1.16 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2020, excluding impairments and other charges, was $46 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2020, excluding impairments and other charges and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt, of $270 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. Halliburton's total revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $3.2 billion, a 37% decrease from revenue of $5.0 billion in the first quarter of 2020. Reported operating loss was $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared to reported operating loss of $571 million in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding impairments and other charges, adjusted operating income was $236 million in the second quarter of 2020, a 53% decrease from adjusted operating income of $502 million in the first quarter of 2020.

“Halliburton’s second quarter performance in a tough market shows we can execute quickly and aggressively to deliver solid financial results and free cash flow despite a severe drop in global activity. Our results demonstrate a significant and sustainable reset to the power of our business to generate positive earnings and free cash flow,” commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.

“Total company revenue was $3.2 billion and adjusted operating income was $236 million. Despite the market headwinds, the margin performance of our Completion and Production and Drilling and Evaluation divisions and the $456 million of positive free cash flow generated this quarter show the speed and effectiveness of our aggressive cost actions.

“We have an excellent international business, an efficient North America service delivery improvement strategy, a disciplined capital allocation approach, and a committed and competitive team. Our continued deployment of leading digital technologies will drive efficiency and cost reductions for our customers and Halliburton.

“Halliburton is charting a fundamentally different course. The strategic actions we are taking will further boost our earnings power and ability to generate free cash flow as we power into and win the eventual recovery,” concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $1.3 billion, or 44%, when compared to the first quarter of 2020, while operating income was $159 million, a decrease of $186 million, or 54%. These declines were driven by a decrease in pressure pumping activity globally, primarily in U.S. land and Latin America, coupled with lower artificial lift activity in U.S. land. This was partially offset by improved completion tool sales internationally.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $1.5 billion, a decrease of $551 million, or 27%, when compared to the first quarter of 2020, while operating income was $127 million, a decrease of $90 million, or 41%. This decline was primarily due to a global reduction in drilling-related services and lower software sales internationally.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $1.0 billion, a 57% decrease when compared to the first quarter of 2020. This decline was driven by reduced activity in U.S. land, primarily associated with pressure pumping, well construction, artificial lift, and wireline activity, coupled with reduced activity across multiple product service lines in the Gulf of Mexico.

International

International revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $2.1 billion, a 17% decrease when compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by reduced pressure pumping and drilling-related activity across all regions, partially offset by improved completion tool sales.

Latin America revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $346 million, a 33% decrease sequentially, resulting primarily from decreased activity across multiple product service lines in Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, and lower software sales in Mexico.

Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $691 million, a 17% decrease sequentially, resulting primarily from reduced well construction and pressure pumping activity, and lower software sales across the region. These reductions were partially offset by increased fluids activity and completion tool sales in Norway and improved cementing activity and completion tool sales in Russia.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $1.1 billion, a 10% decrease sequentially, largely resulting from reduced activity across the majority of product service lines in the Middle East, Malaysia and India, partially offset by improved drilling activity and completion tool sales in China and Kuwait.

Other Financial Items

Halliburton recognized $2.1 billion of pre-tax impairments and other charges to further adjust its cost structure to current market conditions. These charges consisted primarily of non-cash asset impairments, mainly associated with pressure pumping equipment and real estate, as well as inventory write-offs, severance, and other costs.

(a)	During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Halliburton recognized a pre-tax charge of $2.1 billion primarily related to non-cash impairments of long-lived assets associated with pressure pumping equipment and real estate, as well as inventory write-offs, severance costs, and other charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, Halliburton recognized a pre-tax charge of $1.1 billion, primarily related to non-cash impairments of long-lived assets, mainly associated with pressure pumping equipment, as well as severance costs and other charges.
(b)	Management believes that operating loss adjusted for impairments and other charges for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 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 loss” plus "Total impairments and other charges" for the respective periods.

(a)	During the three months ended March 31, 2020, Halliburton recognized a $310 million tax expense associated with a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets based on current market conditions and the expected impact on the Company's business. Additionally, the tax provision (benefit) in the table above includes the tax effect of the loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the tax effect on impairments and other charges during the respective periods.
(b)	Management believes that net loss adjusted for impairments and other charges, along with the associated noncontrolling interest, and the loss on early extinguishment of debt 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 net income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance to identify underlying trends in the business and to establish operational goals. Total adjustments remove the effect of these items. Adjusted net income attributable to company is calculated as: “As reported net loss attributable to company” plus "Total adjustments, net of taxes" for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.
(c)	For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, as reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding excludes one million and three million shares, respectively, associated with stock-based compensation plans as the impact is antidilutive since Halliburton's reported income attributable to company was in a loss position during each period. When adjusting income attributable to company in the periods for the adjustments discussed above, these shares become dilutive.
(d)	As reported net loss per diluted share is calculated as: "As reported net loss attributable to company" divided by "As reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding." Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated as: "Adjusted net income attributable to company" divided by "Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding."
