Halliburton Announces Third Quarter Results
$0.21 Per Diluted Share Income From Continuing Operations, Including $0.11 Charge for the Anglo-Dutch Litigation
HOUSTON, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) announced today that third quarter 2003 income from continuing operations was $92 million or $0.21 per diluted share. Net income was $58 million or $0.13 per diluted share, which includes a net loss from discontinued operations of $0.08 per diluted share.
Revenues were $4.1 billion in the third quarter of 2003, up 39% from the third quarter of 2002. This increase is largely attributable to additional activity in Engineering and Construction Group (known as KBR) government services projects, including work in the Middle East.
Operating income was $204 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to $191 million in the third quarter of 2002. Impacting third quarter 2003 operating income was a $77 million charge related to the Anglo-Dutch litigation described below. Third quarter 2002 results included an $18 million loss related to the sale of Bredero-Shaw and $11 million in restructuring charges.
"Both KBR and the Energy Services Group ("ESG") posted solid year-over- year operating results for the 2003 third quarter," said Dave Lesar, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Halliburton. "While overall oilfield activity has gradually increased over the past year, there was significant improvement in international markets such as Mexico, Brazil, the Middle East, Norway and China. My expectations for the fourth quarter are for little change in the level of oilfield activity. I believe our fourth quarter 2003 earnings from continuing operations will be at least $0.30 per share, excluding any impact from the proposed asbestos settlement."
Anglo-Dutch Litigation
On October 24, 2003, a Harris County, Texas civil court jury returned a verdict against a Halliburton subsidiary company for breaching confidentiality agreements entered into in 1996 and 1997. The jury verdict against Halliburton plus attorneys fees amount to $77 million. The plaintiffs in the case, Anglo-Dutch Petroleum International, Inc. and Anglo-Dutch (Tenge), L.L.C., alleged that Ramco Energy Plc and Halliburton were liable for damages sustained when entities unrelated to Halliburton succeeded in acquiring certain interests in the Tenge oil and gas field in Kazakhstan. Halliburton intends to file post-trial motions to seek a reduction or elimination of the award. If the verdict becomes a judgment, Halliburton intends to appeal the case. A charge of $77 million related to this case was accrued in the third quarter of 2003.
2003 Third Quarter Segment Results
Energy Services Group
ESG posted third quarter 2003 revenues of $1.8 billion, a $128 million increase over the third quarter of 2002, and operating income of $170 million, down $30 million after the $77 million Anglo-Dutch charge for the same period.
Drilling and Formation Evaluation revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $433 million, a 6% increase over the third quarter of 2002. Operating income for the segment of $45 million represented a 29% increase over the third quarter of 2002. The sale of Mono Pumps in the first quarter of 2003 negatively impacted third quarter 2003 revenue and operating income comparisons by $19 million and $2 million, respectively. Logging revenues and higher rig counts in all geographic regions except Europe / Africa accounted for the operating income improvement, despite expenses incurred for consolidation of drill bit facilities in the quarter.
Fluids revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $510 million, a 14% increase over the third quarter of 2002. The Fluids segment revenue increase was driven by a 17% increase in cementing revenue. Cementing revenue increased 15% in the United States due to the higher land rig count and 75% in Mexico due to increased drilling activity.
Fluids operating income for the third quarter of 2003 was $55 million, a 2% increase from the third quarter of 2002. Cementing operating income increased 35% over the 2002 third quarter, offset by a decrease in drilling fluids operating income due to softer pricing in the deep water Gulf of Mexico and Europe and a $3 million inventory adjustment in Nigeria.
Production Optimization revenue for the third quarter 2003 was $730 million, an 11% increase over the third quarter of 2002. Onshore North America revenue improvement was partially offset by lower revenue in the Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, revenues were up 19% as compared to the third quarter 2002 with increases from all regions. The sale of Halliburton Measurement Systems ("HMS") in the second quarter of 2003 had a $9 million negative impact on the third quarter of 2003 revenues as compared to the third quarter of 2002.
Production Optimization operating income for the third quarter of 2003 was $122 million, an 18% increase over the third quarter of 2002. International activity drove the majority of the operating income improvement, primarily from improved margins in Mexico, Brazil and Angola. In North America, incremental margins on increased revenues in Canada were partially offset by pricing weakness in the United States.
Landmark and Other Energy Services revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $132 million, a decrease of $33 million from the third quarter of 2002. The reduction of revenue was attributable to the sale of Wellstream in the first quarter of 2003 and a winding down of a North Sea project.
Landmark and Other Energy Services third quarter 2003 operating loss was $52 million, compared to an $8 million profit in the third quarter of 2002. Segment results included the Anglo-Dutch litigation expense in the third quarter of 2003, and the third quarter 2002 results included $5 million in restructuring charges and an $18 million loss on the sale of Bredero-Shaw. Landmark Graphics revenues were down 4%, but operating income was up 22% as compared to the third quarter of 2002.
KBR
KBR revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $2.3 billion, an 80% increase over the third quarter of 2002. The improvement was primarily due to increases in government services activity and, to a lesser extent, progress on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas projects in Nigeria and Algeria, and hydrocarbon plants in North America and Europe. The increase in revenue was partially offset by lower revenues on projects in western Africa, Brazil and Asia Pacific, maintenance contracts in the United States and the United Kingdom, and the United States Government contract in the Balkans.
KBR operating income for the third quarter of 2003 was $49 million, a $37 million increase over the third quarter of 2002 due to increases from government services activity in the Middle East and the DML shipyard in the United Kingdom. Additionally, LNG and gas projects in Nigeria and Algeria boosted third quarter 2003 segment operating income due to improved project efficiency and progress. Partially offsetting the increased operating income were project losses in Europe, the Middle East and offshore Asia Pacific, and lower income on oil projects in western Africa nearing completion.
Total company revenue and operating income from Iraq-related work in the third quarter were $900 million and $34 million, respectively. Iraq-related work contributed $0.05 per diluted share of earnings after tax.
General corporate expense of $15 million in the third quarter of 2003 improved $6 million over the third quarter of 2002 in part due to restructuring charges in the third quarter 2002.
Backlog
KBR backlog at September 30, 2003 was $9.8 billion, down $127 million from June 30, 2003. Approximately 31% of the backlog is for fixed fee contracts, compared to 37% at June 30, 2003. Of the fixed fee contract backlog, 40% of the total relates to onshore contracts, 26% relates to government services and 20% relates to offshore. Firm orders were $8.5 billion at the end of the quarter. The remainder of the backlog primarily relates to government awards not yet funded, with the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Balkans contract representing the majority of the balance.
Discontinued Operations
The third quarter net loss from discontinued operations was $34 million after tax, or $0.08 per diluted share, reflecting a reserve for uncollectible insurance receivables purchased from Harbison-Walker for potential insolvency of insurance carriers, professional fees associated with the due diligence, printing and distribution cost of the disclosure statement, and other aspects of the proposed settlement for asbestos and silica liabilities.
