Halliburton Announces Third Quarter Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) announced today that third quarter 2002 net income and income from continuing operations were $94 million or $0.22 per diluted share. There were two items impacting continuing operations for the quarter on an after-tax basis: $18 million loss primarily related to the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) on the sale of an investment in Bredero-Shaw, and $7 million related to the previously announced restructuring. Excluding these items, 2002 third quarter net income from continuing operations was $119 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. Tables reconciling as reported amounts to pro forma amounts used in this press release are attached. Third quarter 2001 income from continuing operations was $181 million.

Revenues from continuing operations were $3 billion in the 2002 third quarter, down 12 percent from a year ago and down eight percent sequentially. Operating income was $191 million. Pro forma operating income was $220 million for the quarter, down 38 percent from last year and up 37 percent sequentially. Reduced gas drilling activities in the United States and Canada resulted in lower year-over-year revenues and profit margins. The increase in operating income was primarily due to income on integrated solutions projects during the third quarter 2002 compared to losses on integrated solutions projects in the second quarter 2002.

"I am very pleased with our performance in the face of soft industry conditions and as compared with our peers," said Dave Lesar, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Halliburton. "We bolstered liquidity through the sale of non-core assets and cash flow from operations. Third quarter results also benefited from our corporate reorganization through reduced costs and efficiencies in operations."

Corporate Reorganization

The reorganization announced in the first quarter of 2002 is moving toward completion as expected. The separation of the Energy Services and the Engineering and Construction Groups into two operating subsidiary groups is largely complete and is expected to be concluded by the end of this year. We incurred after-tax restructuring charges of $7 million this quarter.

2002 Third Quarter Segment Results

The Energy Services Group posted third quarter revenues of $1.7 billion, representing a five percent decrease in revenues sequentially. The sequential decrease is attributable to our contribution of Halliburton Subsea assets to Subsea 7. These previously consolidated assets and results of operations are now reported on the equity method. Halliburton Energy Services' third quarter revenues were flat sequentially.

Operating income for the third quarter for the Energy Services Group was $200 million. Energy Services Group pro forma operating income was $223 million, an increase of 33 percent sequentially. Halliburton Energy Services' pro forma operating income was $200 million, up 27 percent sequentially. These sequential increases were due to income on integrated solutions projects during the third quarter compared to losses on integrated solutions projects in the second quarter. Surface/Subsea and Landmark also showed incremental improvements in operating income sequentially.

The Engineering and Construction Group's third quarter revenues were $1.3 billion, down 12 percent sequentially, primarily in offshore and government services operations. Pro forma operating income for the third quarter 2002 was $14 million, up $5 million from the previous quarter.

Backlog

Backlog for the Company as of September 30, 2002, was $10 billion, up from $9.8 billion at the beginning of the quarter.

General Corporate

General corporate costs of $21 million in the third quarter 2002 include $4 million in expenses related to the recent reorganization.

Technology and Significant Achievements

Halliburton had a number of advances in technology and new contract awards including:

  • The U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory selected the team led by KBR as the new site support services contractor. The contract, which includes a five-year base period, with five, one-year options, has an approximate annual value of $145 million. KBR, in a joint venture with the Shaw Group, Inc. and Los Alamos Technical Associates, will function as a subcontractor to the Regents of the University of California, which operates the Laboratory.
  • Halliburton Energy Services was awarded a $44 million contract by PEMEX Exploracion y Produccion to supply drill bits and directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling, and logging-while-drilling services for the Cantarell Bloque Sur Field project.
  • Halliburton Energy Services advanced its reservoir performance monitoring solutions through two investments in the fiber optic sensing field. Halliburton Energy Services acquired the operations of Pruett Industries, Inc., an industry leader in wellbore permanent monitoring and fiber optic sensor installations. Halliburton Energy Services also acquired an equity position in Prime Photonics LC, a leading company engaged in research and development and commercialization of fiber optic sensors for harsh environments.
  • Halliburton Energy Services' Sperry-Sun product service line and Norsk Hydro recently successfully developed and installed the world's first trilateral TAML (Technology Advancement for Multilaterals) level 5 well from a semi-submersible with the ITBS(TM) isolated tie-back system. The project was completed under budget and with a total completion time for both junctions of 6.8 days.
  • KBR was awarded a cost reimbursable, design-build contract valued in excess of $100 million for construction of the new U.S. Embassy compound in Kabul, Afghanistan. In addition, the U.S. Department of State awarded KBR two contracts for security upgrades and general construction work at multiple facilities.
  • Halliburton Energy Services' Security DBS product service line was awarded a two-year agreement with Shell International Exploration and Production for the global supply of drill bits and related services.
  • Landmark Graphics will continue to use PetroBank for the operation of the largest and most successful national data bank in the oil and gas industry. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and the DISKOS consortium of 16 multi-national E&P companies currently store and access over 50 terabytes of data using Landmark's PetroBank technology with its unique network-based, multi-client capabilities.
  • Landmark Graphics Corporation was awarded new contracts with Petrobras, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Newfield Exploration, and Tullow Oil. Petrobras will be using Landmark's drilling software for planning, executing and analyzing its well construction processes. Landmark's ground breaking data hosting contract with Anadarko will provide an integrated suite of seismic and geological software applications, utilities and subsurface data for a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project.
