Item 12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 28, 2004 registrant issued a press release entitled "Halliburton
Announces First Quarter Results."
The text of the press release is as follows:
HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
$0.17 per diluted share income from continuing operations,
including $0.14 charge on Barracuda-Caratinga project
HOUSTON - Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced today that first quarter 2004 income
from continuing operations was $76 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.
Impacting continuing operations for the quarter on an after-tax basis was the
previously announced $62 million charge, or $0.14 per diluted share, on the
Barracuda-Caratinga project.
Net loss for the quarter was $65 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, and
included a net loss from discontinued operations for the proposed asbestos and
silica settlement of $141 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. The net loss from
discontinued operations resulted primarily from the first quarter revaluation,
due to the increase in Halliburton's stock price, of the 59.5 million shares of
Halliburton common stock to be contributed to trusts for the benefit of asbestos
and silica claimants.
Revenues were $5.5 billion in the first quarter 2004, up 80% from the first
quarter 2003. This increase was largely attributable to additional activity on
government services projects in the Middle East in the Engineering and
Construction Group (known as KBR). Within the Energy Services Group (ESG),
revenues increased 13% in the first quarter 2004 compared to the prior year
period.
Consolidated operating income was $175 million in the first quarter 2004
compared to $142 million in the first quarter 2003. Operating income for ESG was
up 19% in the first quarter. KBR operating results improved slightly as a result
of increased government services work, offset by a $97 million pretax loss on
the Barracuda-Caratinga project. First quarter 2003 operating income included a
$55 million pretax loss on the Barracuda-Caratinga project, a $36 million pretax
gain related to the sale of Mono Pumps, and a $15 million pretax loss related to
the sale of Wellstream.

"Overall, I am pleased with our operating performance during the quarter," said
Dave Lesar, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Halliburton. "We
continue to see improvement in the energy services business. While oilfield
activity and pricing was essentially flat until late in the first quarter, we
are beginning to see signs that customer spending and pricing for our services
are improving. We believe the agreement in principle on the Barracuda-Caratinga
project, if completed, would resolve disputed items and significantly reduce
remaining risks for us with the project."
2004 First Quarter Segment Results
Energy Services Group
ESG posted first quarter 2004 revenues of $1.8 billion, a $205 million increase
over the first quarter 2003, and operating income of $214 million, up $34
million from the same period in the prior year.
Drilling and Formation Evaluation (DFE) operating income of $43 million was $23
million less than the prior year quarter primarily due to the $36 million gain
on the sale of Mono Pumps in the first quarter 2003. Before considering the Mono
Pumps gain, DFE operating income improved 43% year-over-year. Logging services
operating income increased $14 million year-over-year on higher United States
land rig counts, the implementation of exit strategies for logging operations in
several underperforming countries, and a direct sale into China. Drilling
services saw revenue growth across all geographic regions. For drill bits,
operating margins improved as a result of benefits from the consolidation of
manufacturing facilities to The Woodlands, Texas.
Fluids operating income for the first quarter 2004 was $60 million, a $5 million
increase from the first quarter 2003. The increase in operating income was
attributable to a $15 million increase in cementing services due to higher land
rig activity in North America and improved pricing. This was partially offset by
a $12 million reduction in drilling fluids operating results due primarily to
the activity shift from favorable offshore operations to lower margin onshore
areas.
Production Optimization operating income for the first quarter 2004 was $82
million, a 21% increase over first quarter 2003. The increase was primarily
driven by production enhancement services, which improved operating income $22
million, largely derived from increased land rig activity and high utilization
in the United States, revenue increases in all international regions, and
improved pricing. The first quarter 2004 included $17 million in equity losses
from the Subsea 7 joint venture compared with $14 million in equity losses in
the first quarter 2003.
-more-
Landmark and Other Energy Services first quarter 2004 operating income was $29
million, compared to a loss of $9 million for the prior year period. This
increase in operating income is attributed to a $15 million loss on the sale of
Wellstream in the first quarter 2003, a $13 million reduction in legal reserves
in the first quarter 2004 related to the settlement of the Anglo-Dutch
litigation, and strong commodity prices benefiting integrated solutions
services. Landmark Graphics achieved 5% growth in revenues over the prior year
period, setting a new record for revenues in the first quarter of any year, due
primarily to increased software sales.
KBR
KBR revenues for the first quarter 2004 were $3.7 billion, more than double its
revenues in the first quarter 2003. The improvement was mostly due to government
contract activities.
KBR operating loss for the first quarter 2004 was $15 million, compared to a $19
million loss in the first quarter 2003. First quarter 2004 operating loss
included the $97 million loss on the Barracuda-Caratinga project, which was
partially offset by increased results on government services projects, refining
and gas projects in Canada and Africa, and upstream operations and maintenance
projects. First quarter 2003 results included a $55 million loss on the
Barracuda-Caratinga project.
Halliburton's Iraq-related work contributed approximately $2.1 billion in
revenues in the first quarter 2004 and $32 million in operating income.
Backlog
KBR backlog at March 31, 2004 was $8.4 billion, down $1.3 billion from December
31, 2003 primarily due to workoff and transition of the fuel delivery work in
Iraq to the Defense Energy Support Center. Approximately 26% of the backlog is
for fixed-fee contracts, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2003. Of the
fixed-fee contract backlog, only 13% of the total related to offshore contracts,
while 39% related to onshore contracts.
Technology and Significant Achievements
Halliburton had a number of advances in technology and new contract awards.
Energy Services Group new technologies and contracts:
- Halliburton announced the release of DecisionSpace Well Seismic
Fusion(TM), a suite of interpretation and analysis tools for predicting
reservoir rock properties from prestack seismic data, synthetic data,
and well data. Working closely with Statoil, Landmark Graphics
developed Well Seismic Fusion to leverage the rich information content
contained in prestack seismic data to build earth models and more
accurately predict reservoir lithology and fluids. This unique
technology provides a highly integrated interpretation environment
enabling interpreters and other asset team members to improve reservoir
understanding and dramatically reduce exploration risk.
-more-
- Halliburton announced that it has signed a five-year technology
agreement with Integrated Trade Systems, Inc., an agreement that will
benefit PEMEX, Mexico's national oil and gas company. The agreement
includes a broad range of Landmark Graphics' prospect generation and
field development software that will support the exploration and
development activities of PEMEX. A key component of this agreement is
the provision of broad Landmark service support, to ensure that PEMEX
exploration and production specialists are able to extract maximum
value from this technology investment.
- Halliburton announced the release of Z3(TM) polycrystalline diamond
compact (PDC) cutter technology for Fixed Cutter drill bits. Z3
technology, a proprietary development made in conjunction with
long-time diamond technology provider US Synthetic, represents a
step-change advance in the abrasion resistance of PDC cutters, leading
to significantly longer and more cost-effective drilling operations.
KBR new contract awards:
- KBR has been awarded the contract to provide engineering, procurement,
and construction management services for BP's Greater Plutonio fields
located in Block 18 offshore Angola. The services are for the floating
production, storage, and offloading vessel and the associated subsea
systems.
- KBR has been awarded the seven-year contract for CONLOG (Contract for
Logistics Support) by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence to provide
logistics and infrastructure support to Permanent Joint Forces
Headquarters operations and exercises worldwide.
- KBR is providing engineering services for the onshore design of a Gas
to Liquids (GTL) project in Qatar under a Front End Engineering Design
(FEED) contract awarded to its joint venture partner JGC Corporation of
Japan by Shell Global Solutions.
