INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 26, 2009 registrant issued two press releases entitled “Halliburton Announces Fourth Quarter Charge Related to Prospective Settlement of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Investigations” and “Halliburton Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings.”

The text of the Press Releases follows:

HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER CHARGE RELATED TO PROSPECTIVE SETTLEMENT OF FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT (FCPA) INVESTIGATIONS

 
$0.34 fourth quarter 2008 earnings per diluted share impact from $303 million charge to discontinued operations
 
HOUSTON, Texas - As previously disclosed in its public filings, Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) has engaged in settlement discussions with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with regard to the ongoing FCPA investigations involving Halliburton and KBR, Inc. (KBR). These discussions have resulted in prospective settlements with both agencies.  The settlement with the DOJ has been fully negotiated and Halliburton has been advised that it is being reviewed for final approval.  The settlement with the SEC has been approved contingent upon the completion of the settlement with the DOJ.  There can be no assurance, however, that the settlement with the DOJ will be approved or that, consequently, the condition to the settlement with the SEC will be satisfied.
 
 
To enhance KBR’s financial stability and solvency, making possible the separation of KBR, Halliburton indemnified KBR from fines or other monetary penalties or direct monetary damages, including disgorgement, as a result of a claim made or assessed by a governmental authority in the United States and certain other countries related to alleged or actual violations occurring prior to November 20, 2006 of the FCPA or particular, analogous applicable foreign statutes, laws, rules, and regulations in connection with investigations pending as of that date.
 
 
As a result of the indemnity and the terms of the prospective settlement with the DOJ, Halliburton would agree to pay $382 million on behalf of KBR in eight installments over the next two years. Pursuant to the terms of the prospective settlement with the SEC, Halliburton would agree to be jointly and severally liable with KBR for and, as a result of the indemnity, to pay to the SEC $177 million in disgorgement.  KBR would separately agree that Halliburton’s indemnification obligations with respect to the DOJ and SEC investigations would be fully satisfied.
 
 
The prospective settlement with the DOJ would not require Halliburton to engage a monitor.  The prospective settlement with the SEC would require Halliburton to retain an independent consultant to perform a 60-day initial and, approximately one year later, a 30-day follow-up review and evaluation of Halliburton’s anti-bribery and foreign agent internal controls and record-keeping policies and to adopt any necessary improvements.
 
 
During the second quarter of 2007, in connection with the separation of KBR from Halliburton, Halliburton recorded a gain on the disposition of KBR of approximately $933 million, net of tax and the estimated fair value of the FCPA and other indemnities and guarantees provided to KBR, which was included in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax” on the consolidated statement of operations.  During the second quarter of 2008, Halliburton recorded additional adjustments to the estimated liability for the indemnities and guarantees provided to KBR. These indemnities and guarantees are primarily included in “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $342 million at September 30, 2008.
 
 
As a result of these prospective settlements, Halliburton recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 an additional charge to discontinued operations of $303 million or $0.34 per diluted share.
 
 
Commenting on these matters, a Company spokesperson stated, “The Company will not further comment or take questions regarding the prospective settlements, given that there can be no assurance that they will become effective in accordance with their respective terms.”

HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR EARNINGS
$0.87 fourth quarter 2008 earnings per diluted share from continuing operations

HOUSTON, Texas – Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced today that revenue in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $4.9 billion, up 17% from the fourth quarter of 2007.  Consolidated operating income was $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $907 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $776 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $674 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007.  The fourth quarter of 2008 was positively impacted by a $22 million gain net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to a patent settlement and a $28 million gain net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share, reflected in minority interest, related to a change in effective ownership of a joint venture, and negatively impacted by a $17 million loss net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share, on foreign exchange.

Fourth quarter of 2008 operating income was impacted by a $35 million gain related to a patent settlement.  Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2007 included a $34 million impairment charge for a Bangladesh oil and gas property.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $468 million, or $0.53 per diluted share.  This compares to net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 of $690 million, or $0.75 per diluted share. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by a $308 million charge to discontinued operations, or $0.34 per diluted share, primarily related to the prospective settlements of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations announced earlier today.

Halliburton’s revenue was $18.3 billion for the full year 2008, an increase of 20% from the full year 2007, and operating income was $4.0 billion, an increase of 15% from the full year 2007.  Income from continuing operations for the full year 2008 was $2.0 billion, or $2.17 per diluted share, compared to 2007 income from continuing operations of $2.5 billion, or $2.66 per diluted share.  2008 earnings per share from continuing operations was negatively impacted by a non-tax deductible loss of $693 million related to the portion of the 3.125% convertible senior notes premium settled in cash in the third quarter of 2008.  Net income in 2008 was $1.5 billion, or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to net income in 2007 of $3.5 billion, or $3.68 per diluted share.




Halliburton/Page 2

Loss from discontinued operations in 2008 was $423 million, net of tax, or $0.47 per diluted share, primarily related to adjustments of the indemnities and guarantees provided to KBR, Inc. (KBR) upon separation.  Income from discontinued operations in 2007 was $975 million, which included a gain of $933 million on the separation of KBR from Halliburton, net of tax and the estimated fair value of the indemnities and guarantees provided to KBR.

Commenting on 2008 results, Dave Lesar, chairman, president, and chief executive officer said, “While current market conditions are difficult, this should not overshadow our excellent performance in the fourth quarter.  I believe our business strategy of protecting our strong North America market position while investing in and growing our international operations worked particularly well in the fourth quarter as well as for all of 2008.

“We completed 2008 with the highest level of annual oilfield revenue and operating income achieved during the 90 year history of our company.  Our international business was a major contributor to our performance in 2008 as we expanded into underserved locations. Outside North America, revenue grew 22% year-over-year with Latin America experiencing exceptional revenue growth of 35% year-over-year.  At the same time, we continued to strengthen our franchise in our core product lines and geographic areas that have led to the company’s expanded market position.

“In the fourth quarter, our North America operations experienced flat sequential revenue despite a 14% decline in the U.S. rig count from the beginning of the fourth quarter.  However, our operating margins were impacted by lower volume and pricing pressure toward the end of the quarter.  We expect these pressures to continue into 2009.

“Our Eastern Hemisphere growth rate slowed in the fourth quarter particularly due to weakness in the North Sea and flat activity in the Middle East while countries in North Africa, Eurasia, and Asia Pacific posted good performance.

“Halliburton has successfully weathered multiple industry downcycles, and it is clear 2009 will be a challenging year for both the company and the industry.  We are confident we have the right people, technology, and financial strength to address the task of successfully operating in a contracting market and position us to benefit from the market’s eventual recovery.”

2008 Fourth Quarter Results

Completion and Production (C&P) operating income in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $659 million, an increase of $88 million or 15% from the fourth quarter of 2007.  Europe/Africa/CIS C&P operating income increased 38% with the most significant impact coming from higher demand and more favorable product mix for completion tools.  Middle East/Asia C&P operating income was flat with higher demand for completion tools balancing out declines in cementing and production enhancement services.  North America C&P operating income increased 13%, primarily due to increased utilization in pressure pumping services and higher demand for both production enhancement services and completion tools in the United States.  Latin America C&P operating income increased 25% from increased activity throughout the region and higher vessel utilization in Mexico.

Drilling and Evaluation (D&E) operating income in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $529 million, an increase of $126 million or 31% over the fourth quarter of 2007.  Europe/Africa/CIS D&E operating income increased 16%, benefiting from increased direct sales in Eurasia and Africa.  Middle East/Asia D&E operating income increased 88% over the fourth quarter of 2007, as a result of improvement in all product service lines, especially drilling services.  The fourth quarter of 2007 included a $34 million impairment charge for a Bangladesh oil and gas property.  North America D&E operating income remained flat with higher demand for drill bits in the United States and increased drilling activity in the United States land and Canada markets balancing out declines in wireline services.  Latin America D&E operating income increased 84%, with higher demand for new technology and drilling services throughout the region.  In addition, improvements in software sales and services and higher demand for fluid services contributed to the increase.

Approximately $1.8 billion remains available under the company’s share repurchase program, as Halliburton did not purchase any shares of common stock in the fourth quarter of 2008.
