Press Release

• Income from continuing operations of $0.58 per diluted share

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 23, 2018-- Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) announced today income from continuing operations of $511 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. This compares to reported income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 of $46 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and adjusted income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2018 of $358 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, excluding impairments and other charges related to a write-down of all of the Company's remaining investment in Venezuela. Operating income was $789 million during the second quarter of 2018, compared to reported operating income of $354 million and adjusted operating income of $619 million in the first quarter of 2018.

“We executed on our plan and delivered strong results. We achieved total company revenue of $6.1 billion, representing a 7% increase, while operating income was $789 million, a 27% increase over adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2018. Our overall strategy is working well and we plan to stay the course,” commented Jeff Miller, President and CEO.

“Our Completion & Production division grew operating income by 34%, primarily driven by the strength of U.S. land. Despite pricing levels that have yet to fully rebound from the recent down cycle, we are achieving outstanding margins.

“North America had a strong performance this quarter. This is the largest and fastest growing energy market in the world. On a year-to-date basis, we have grown revenues 47% year over year, while the U.S. land rig count has increased 16%. U.S. land achieved margins that are closing in on what we achieved during the previous peak in 2014.

“Halliburton is better positioned for the international recovery than it has ever been and we are ready to make the most of it. We have competitive market share in all of the major markets and have consistently executed to manage the changing dynamics.

“Halliburton is resilient, adaptable and creative and we outperform by keeping our core competencies strong and delivering superior service quality. Our value proposition resonates with our customers and we will continue to maximize their asset value while providing industry leading returns for our shareholders,” concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $4.2 billion, an increase of $357 million, or 9%, from the first quarter of 2018, while operating income was $669 million, an increase of $169 million, or 34%. Improvements were led by increased pressure pumping and artificial lift activity in the United States land sector. Additionally, results improved due to higher pressure pumping services in Europe/Africa/CIS and higher completion tool sales in the Middle East, partially offset by reduced completion tool sales in Europe/Africa/CIS and pressure pumping services in the Middle East.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $2.0 billion, an increase of $50 million, or 3%, from the first quarter of 2018, while operating income was $191 million, an increase of $3 million, or 2%. These improvements were primarily due to increased drilling activity in the United States land sector, increased drilling services and project management activity in the Middle East and India, and increased software sales in Mexico. These improvements were partially offset by reduced drilling fluid activity in the Gulf of Mexico.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $3.8 billion, a 9% increase sequentially. This improvement was driven by increased activity throughout the United States land sector within the majority of Halliburton’s product service lines, primarily pressure pumping, as well as higher drilling and artificial lift activity. Partially offsetting these increases were lower pressure pumping activity in Canada and reduced drilling fluid activity in the Gulf of Mexico.

International

International revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $2.3 billion, a 4% increase sequentially, resulting primarily from increased drilling services and project management activity in the Middle East, as well as higher project management activity and software sales in Mexico. These increases were partially offset by lower completion tool sales in Europe/Africa/CIS, particularly in the North Sea and Angola.

Latin America revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $479 million, a 5% increase sequentially, resulting primarily from increases in software sales and project management activity in Mexico, as well as stimulation activity in Argentina.

Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $726 million, slightly improved sequentially. Higher pressure pumping and pipeline services throughout the region were offset by lower completion tool sales, primarily in the North Sea and Angola, along with reduced drilling activity in Azerbaijan.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $1.1 billion, a 6% increase sequentially, largely resulting from increased drilling services, project management activity, and completion tool sales in the Middle East, as well as higher project management activity in India.

(a)

Management believes that operating income adjusted for impairments and other charges for the three months ended March 31, 2018 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 "Impairments and other charges" for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There were no such operating charges for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Management analyzes income from continuing operations without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business and to establish operational goals. The adjustment removes the effect of these items. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to company is calculated as: “As reported income from continuing operations attributable to company” plus "Total adjustments, net of taxes" for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There were no such operating charges for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
