Halliburton Announces Third Quarter Results; 95 Cents Earnings Per Diluted Share
HOUSTON, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) announced today that both income from continuing operations and net income in the third quarter of 2005 were $499 million, or $0.95 per diluted share. This compares to income from continuing operations of $186 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2004. Net loss for the third quarter of 2004 of $44 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, included a net loss from discontinued operations of $230 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, related to the asbestos and silica settlement.
Consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2005 was $5.1 billion, up 6% from the third quarter of 2004. This increase was largely attributable to higher activity in the Energy Services Group (ESG). This was partially offset by lower revenue in KBR on government services projects in the Middle East, as well as offshore construction and other projects nearing completion in the Energy and Chemicals (E&C) segment.
Consolidated operating income was $690 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $342 million in the third quarter of 2004. ESG experienced strong performance reflecting increased rig activity, higher utilization of assets, and increased pricing. Operating income in the third quarter of 2004 was positively impacted by a $40 million gain related to the sale of ESG's surface well testing operations. KBR's performance improved in both the Government and Infrastructure (G&I) segment and the E&C segment. G&I results included $85 million of operating income related to the sale of KBR's interest in a toll road. The consolidated negative impact of the hurricanes on Halliburton in the third quarter of 2005 was approximately $33 million pretax income, or $0.05 per diluted share after tax.
"We are pleased with the third quarter performance of the ESG and KBR, as both are maintaining the momentum of the strong earnings we experienced in the first half of the year," said Dave Lesar, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Halliburton. "Continued strength in the North American natural gas drilling market contributed to this growth. Despite the impact of the hurricanes, ESG posted record revenue and operating income for the quarter and increased operating margins to 21.8%, up from 21.1% in the second quarter of 2005. KBR's continued strong financial performance and recent gas monetization contract wins give us a competitive edge in a growing arena where we are already well positioned."
Energy Services Group
ESG posted record revenue of $2.6 billion in the third quarter of 2005, a $489 million or 23% increase over the third quarter of 2004. ESG also posted record operating income of $566 million, up $152 million or 37% from the same period in the prior year. The negative impact on ESG's results from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico during the third quarter of 2005 was approximately $28 million of pretax income, or $0.04 per diluted share after tax, primarily due to the temporary suspension of work related to damaged and lost customer rigs. The negative impact from hurricanes in the third quarter of 2004 was approximately $6 million of pretax income, or $0.01 per diluted share after tax. ESG's operating margin was 21.8% during the third quarter of 2005, despite the impact of the hurricanes.
Production Optimization operating income for the third quarter of 2005 was $263 million, an increase of $41 million or 19% over the third quarter of 2004. Production enhancement services operating income increased 67%, driven by strong demand for well stimulation services in natural gas applications, increased utilization of crews and assets, and improved pricing in the United States. Completion tools operating income increased 7% due to higher rig activity in Saudi Arabia. Partially offsetting this increase were declines in activity in Mexico and Venezuela. WellDynamics operating income for the third quarter of 2005 improved over the prior year quarter due to manufacturing efficiencies and strong sales of its SmartWell(R) technology. Hurricanes negatively impacted Production Optimization operating income by approximately $8 million in the third quarter of 2005. Operating income in the third quarter of 2004 included a $40 million gain on the sale of surface well testing operations.
Fluid Systems operating income for the third quarter of 2005 was $139 million, a $26 million or 23% increase over the third quarter of 2004. Cementing services operating income increased 29% due to higher drilling activity, improved pricing, and increased asset utilization in the United States, partially offset by lower activity in Mexico. Baroid Fluid Services operating income grew 11% on higher activity and improved pricing in Africa, as well as on strong natural gas operations in the United States. This was partially offset by lower activity in Mexico and Brazil. Hurricanes in the third quarter of 2005 negatively impacted Fluid Systems operating income by $15 million.
Drilling and Formation Evaluation operating income for the third quarter of 2005 was $129 million, a $67 million or 108% increase over the prior year third quarter. All regions showed earnings growth with international operations driving 66% of the increase. Pricing improvement was evident across all product lines. Sperry Drilling Services operating income increased 109% benefiting from increased directional drilling activity in the Middle East and Latin America, as well as in Canada and the United States. Logging services operating income increased 68% due to increased activity in the United States and strong growth in Latin America and the Middle East. Security DBS Drill Bits operating income tripled, reflecting strong roller cone and fixed cutter bit sales in the United States, Canada, Latin America and the North Sea, combined with the realization of manufacturing efficiencies. Hurricanes in the third quarter of 2005 negatively impacted Drilling and Formation Evaluation operating income by $5 million.
Digital and Consulting Solutions operating income in the third quarter of 2005 was $35 million, an $18 million or 106% increase as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by higher production consulting and data management services revenue.
KBR
KBR revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $2.5 billion, a 7% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2004, primarily due to decreased military support activities in Iraq. Operating income for the third quarter of 2005 was $150 million compared to an operating loss of $50 million in the prior year quarter. KBR incurred $5 million in pretax expenses, or $0.01 per diluted share after tax, related to the Gulf of Mexico hurricanes during the third quarter of 2005.
Government and Infrastructure operating income for the third quarter of 2005 was $149 million compared to an operating loss of $6 million in the third quarter of 2004. Operating income for the third quarter of 2005 included $85 million in income on the sale of the toll road interest. Iraq-related operating income increased primarily due to the favorable settlement of government audits of fuel costs and other disputed issues.
Energy and Chemicals operating income was $1 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to an operating loss of $44 million in the third quarter of 2004. Third quarter of 2005 results were impacted by $47 million of charges related to an Algerian joint venture and an additional $23 million loss on an Algerian gas processing plant project. The operating loss in the third quarter of 2004 included $59 million of project losses on two projects: a gas processing plant in Algeria and a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel project in Indonesia. There was also $14 million of charges related to the restructuring of KBR in the third quarter of 2004.
Halliburton's Iraq-related work contributed approximately $1.2 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2005 and $44 million of operating income, or a 3.7% margin, before corporate expenses and taxes.
Technology and Significant Achievements
Halliburton made a number of advances in technology and new contract awards.
Energy Services Group new technologies and contract awards:
* Halliburton's Sperry Drilling Services commercialized the industry's
first 4 3/4" formation testing-while-drilling suite (GeoTap(R)) in
the Gulf of Mexico in conjunction with Sperry's slimhole rotary
steerable system, real-time resistivity, gamma, neutron, density,
sonic, and vibration sensors. The operator chose to include the
slimhole GeoTap(R) tester in the bottomhole assembly as high wellbore
inclinations made wireline logging risky and expensive. Using
the new slimhole bottomhole assembly technology saved the operator
an estimated four days relative to the use of conventional wireline
techniques.
* Halliburton introduced its new Zero-D(TM) diesel free liquid gel
concentrates for hydraulic fracturing. This industry advancement will
help operators move to higher levels of performance with less
environmental impact. Zero-D formulation is designed to be used with
Halliburton's most popular fracturing fluid systems, including
SilverStim(TM), Delta Frac(TM), DeepQuest(TM), and SeaQuest(TM)
fluids, and is applicable over a broad range of depths and
temperatures in virtually any formation where fracturing can help
improve production.
* WellDynamics and BP have signed a multi-well contract to provide
SmartWell(R) downhole flow control and ancillary completion equipment
for managing water injection in BP's deepwater Greater Plutonio
development in Angola. The project will require some 40 wells with
approximately equal numbers of oil production wells and water
injection wells. The water injection wells will provide reservoir
pressure support and sweep efficiency to assist optimal reserve
recovery. Three additional gas injection wells will be used for
reservoir pressure support and to dispose of associated gas
production.
* Landmark released its commercial version of DecisionSpace(R) Nexus(TM)
software, a breakthrough technology developed in collaboration with BP
that is designed to perform reservoir simulation on both simple and
complex reservoirs at unprecedented speed. This next generation
technology gives reservoir engineers and asset teams a productivity
tool that, on average, enables reservoir simulation five times faster
than existing technology. This increased processing speed, along with
easy data transfer and streamlined workflows, improves productivity.
In addition, the ability to simulate the surface and subsurface
simultaneously creates a much more accurate representation of their
asset, assisting in better, more confident decisions.
KBR new contract awards:
* Yemen LNG Company Ltd. has awarded KBR and its joint venture partners,
Technip of France and JGC Corporation of Japan, a lump-sum turnkey
contract valued at more than $2.0 billion to provide engineering,
procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up,
and operations services for Yemen's first liquefied natural gas (LNG)
plant. Consisting of two liquefaction trains with a combined capacity
of 6.7 million tons per year, the LNG plant will be located in the
port of Balhaf on the southern coast of Yemen. The target for start-up
of Train 1 is the end of 2008, with Train 2 due to come on-line
approximately five months later.
* KBR and JGC Corporation signed a letter of intent with Qatar Shell GTL
Limited, a Royal Dutch Shell plc subsidiary, for project management of
the Pearl gas-to-liquids (GTL) project in Ras Laffan, Qatar, to a
joint venture between JGC and KBR. In addition to the development of
offshore upstream gas production facilities, Shell's Pearl GTL project
includes developing an onshore GTL plant that will produce 140,000
barrels per day of GTL products and about 100,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day of natural gas liquids.

(A) The Company is reporting strong operating income from both the
Energy Services Group and KBR. Management believes it is important
to point out to investors that a portion of operating income is
attributable to the sale of a toll road interest in the third
quarter of 2005, because investors have indicated to management
their desire to understand the current drivers and future trends of
operating income. The adjustment removes the effect of the sale of
the toll road interest.
