Halliburton Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings of $0.28 Per Diluted Share Excluding Receivable Settlement Charge

Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced today that income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $257 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, excluding a $10 million net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, charge related to the settlement of a customer receivable in Venezuela. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $243 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. This compares to net income for the third quarter of 2009 of $262 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. Employee separation costs negatively impacted third quarter of 2009 results by $19 million net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share.

Consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $3.7 billion, compared to $3.6 billion in the third quarter of 2009. Consolidated operating income was $428 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $474 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Halliburton’s revenue was $14.7 billion for the full year 2009, a decrease of 20% from the full year 2008, and operating income was $2.0 billion, a decrease of 50% from the full year 2008. Income from continuing operations for the full year 2009 was $1.2 billion, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to 2008 income from continuing operations of $2.6 billion, or $2.91 per diluted share. These decreases were largely attributable to pricing declines and lower demand for products and services in North America due to a significant reduction in rig count during the early part of the year.

Commenting on 2009 results, Dave Lesar, chairman, president, and chief executive officer said, “While weak global demand and volatility in the commodity markets negatively impacted the oil service industry, I am pleased that our results reflect the successful execution of our strategy throughout the year.

“Guided by the lessons learned from past industry cycles, our strategy focused not only on managing costs but also on aligning our resources to strengthen our market position. We were able to reinforce the long-term health of our global franchise and position the company for growth through the next up cycle.

“During the fourth quarter, total revenue grew 3% from the third quarter, driven by increased activity in North America. Our international results reflected the reduction of activity due to weather related seasonality, lower than normal equipment sales and the previously disclosed decrease of natural gas activity in Mexico. Our international results were also impacted by the reduction of international pricing due to increased intensity of competition on re-tenders and new contracts in international markets throughout the year.

“The United States rig count increased 14% from the third quarter. Revenue in North America increased 12% from the prior quarter due to robust activity in unconventional basins. Our continued investment in technology and infrastructure in these key growth basins allowed us to increase market share, operating margins and realize marginal pricing improvements during the quarter.

“The increase in rig count, positive withdrawals from gas storage and the focus by operators on projects with high service intensity are positive indicators for the North America market in the short term. A sustained recovery is possible through an increase in industrial demand and exiting the heating season with storage levels in line with the historical average.

“International revenue decreased 2% from the third quarter due to the curtailment in drilling in Mexico and pricing declines from contract re-tenders and renegotiations earlier in the year. Eastern Hemisphere operating margins declined to 19%. Customers in international markets continue to exhibit an intense focus on the quality of project execution to capture efficiencies and improve their project economics.

“Many operators have announced potential increases in upstream spending for 2010 targeted for new frontier developments and ultra-deepwater where we are well positioned. However, we expect operator investment will remain weighted toward the second half of the year.

“We believe 2010 will be a transition year as the industry seeks to balance supply growth with recovering hydrocarbon demand. We will continue maintaining our financial flexibility, leveraging our strong balance sheet to invest in our broad service portfolio, and strengthening our long-term market position,” concluded Lesar.

2009 Fourth Quarter Results

Completion and Production

Completion and Production (C&P) revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 was essentially flat from the third quarter of 2009 as increased activity in United States land was offset by lower activity internationally. Strong sequential revenue growth was seen from increased production enhancement and cementing activity in United States land.

C&P operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $170 million, a decrease of $70 million or 29% over the third quarter of 2009. North America C&P operating income had significant improvement due to higher demand for production enhancement services and cementing services in United States land. Latin America C&P operating income decreased 56% with lower activity across all product service lines in Mexico. Europe/Africa/CIS C&P operating income fell 42%, primarily due to seasonal weather in Russia and vessel activity declines in the North Sea and West Africa. Middle East/Asia C&P operating income decreased 46% due to declines in completion tools sales in the Middle East and lower activity for production enhancement services throughout the region.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation (D&E) revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 increased $101 million from the third quarter of 2009 due to higher activity across all product service lines. The division experienced strong sequential revenue increases in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Algeria, China, and Russia.

D&E operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $312 million, an increase of $29 million or 10% over the third quarter of 2009. North America D&E operating income had significant growth primarily due to higher drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico. Latin America D&E operating income decreased 46% as higher activity in Brazil was offset by bad debt expense related to the accounts receivable settlement in Venezuela and lower natural gas drilling activity in Mexico. Europe/Africa/CIS D&E operating income increased 16% primarily due to a more favorable product mix for drilling fluids in Norway and higher demand for software sales, project management, and drilling services in Algeria. Middle East/Asia D&E operating income increased 7% with higher demand for software and services throughout the region and higher direct sales in Asia.

Significant Recent Events and Achievements

  • Halliburton has been awarded the integrated turnkey drilling contract in South Ghawar. Located approximately 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the city of Dhahran, the Ghawar field is the world's largest oil field.

Management believes that operating income adjusted for employee separation costs and the receivables settlement is useful to investors to assess and understand segment and region operating performance, especially when comparing current results with previous 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 employee separation costs and the receivables settlement as an indicator of ongoing segment and region operating performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish segment and region operational goals. The adjustment removes the effect of these expenses.

(b) 

Adjusted operating income for each segment and region is calculated as: “Operating income” plus “Excluded costs.”

As reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 906
As reported income from continuing operations per diluted share (b) $ 0.27
Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share (b) $ 0.28

(a) 

Management believes that income from continuing operations adjusted for the receivables settlement is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing current results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded item to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results. Management analyzes income from continuing operations without the impact of the receivables settlement as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustment removes the effect of the expense. Adjusted income from continuing operations is calculated as: “As reported income from continuing operations” plus “Receivables settlement, net of tax.”

(b) 

As reported income from continuing operations per diluted share is calculated as: “As reported income from continuing operations” divided by “As reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.” Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share is calculated as: “Adjusted income from continuing operations” divided by “As reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.”

Total debt (b) $ 4,574
Cash and equivalents (2,082 )
Investments in marketable securities (1,312 )
Net debt (c) $ 1,180
As reported total shareholders’ equity $ 8,757
Total debt (b) 4,574
Total capitalization (d) $ 13,331
Net debt to total capitalization ratio (a) 9 %

(a) 

Management believes that the net debt to total capitalization ratio is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s liquidity, which measures the amount of net debt compared to available capital. Management believes that because cash and equivalents and investments in marketable securities can be used to repay indebtedness, net debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash to repay debt by netting cash and equivalents and investments in marketable securities against debt. The net debt to total capitalization ratio is calculated as: “Net debt” divided by “Total capitalization.”

(b) 

Total debt includes short-term notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt.

(c) 

Net debt is calculated as: “Total debt” less “Cash and equivalents” less “Investments in marketable securities.”

(d) 

Total capitalization is calculated as: “As reported total shareholders’ equity” plus “Total debt.”

%

(a) 

Management believes that return on average invested capital (ROIC) is useful to investors to assess historical capital productivity, evaluate management’s performance, and to demonstrate to shareholders that capital has been used wisely over the long term. ROIC is calculated as: “Earnings before net financing costs and excluded costs” divided by “Average invested capital.”

(b) 

“Net financing costs, after tax” consists of interest expense and interest income.

(c) 

"Excluded costs, after tax" includes the items in footnote table 3. The adjustment removes the effect of these expenses because management views the items to be outside of the Company's normal operating results.

(d)

“Invested capital” includes total shareholders’ equity and total debt. Total debt consists of short-term notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt.
