NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Weatherford International plc (the “Company,” “Weatherford,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.

In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Weatherford and its subsidiaries for the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Our financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. Under this basis, our financial statements consolidate all wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled joint ventures. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Please refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Consolidated Financial Statements from our 2023 Form 10-K for the discussion on our significant accounting policies. Certain reclassifications have been made to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to conform to the presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

Please refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Consolidated Financial Statements from our 2023 Form 10-K for the discussion on accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective for the interim periods presented that are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Evaluations of all other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are on-going, and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

2 – Segment Information

Financial information by segment is summarized below. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as presented in our 2023 Form 10-K. We have three reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Evaluation “DRE”, (2) Well Construction and Completions “WCC”, and (3) Production and Intervention “PRI.”

Our primary measure of segment profitability is segment adjusted EBITDA, which is based on segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense and other adjustments. Research and development expenses are included in segment adjusted EBITDA. All other results were from non-core business activities (including integrated services and projects). Corporate includes overhead support and centrally managed or shared facility costs. All other and corporate do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting.

2028 Senior Secured Notes

On September 30, 2021, Weatherford International Ltd. (“Weatherford Bermuda”) issued 6.50% senior secured notes in aggregate principal amount of $500 million maturing September 15, 2028 (the “2028 Senior Secured Notes”). Interest was payable semiannually on September 15 and March 15 of each year, and commenced on March 15, 2022. Proceeds from the issuance were reduced by debt issuance costs. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value represented unpaid principal of $248 million offset by unamortized deferred issuance cost of $5 million. The remaining principal of our 2028 Senior Secured Notes was redeemed and paid in full on May 23, 2024.

2030 Senior Notes

On October 27, 2021, Weatherford Bermuda issued 8.625% senior notes in aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion maturing April 30, 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and commenced on June 1, 2022. On December 1, 2022, the indenture related to our 2030 Senior Notes was amended and supplemented to add Weatherford International, LLC (“Weatherford Delaware”) as co-issuer and co-obligor, and concurrently release the guarantee of Weatherford Delaware. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value represents the remaining unpaid principal of $1.6 billion at each date, offset by unamortized deferred issuance cost of $12 million and $13 million, respectively.

Credit Agreement

Weatherford Bermuda, Weatherford Delaware, Weatherford Canada Ltd. (“Weatherford Canada”) and WOFS International Finance GmbH (“Weatherford Switzerland”), together as borrowers, and the Company as parent, have an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and certain of our subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal property of the Company and those subsidiaries. At December 31, 2023, the Credit Agreement allowed for a total commitment amount of $550 million, maturing on the earlier of October 24, 2028 and 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2028 Senior Secured Notes. Financial covenants in the Credit Agreement include a $250 million minimum liquidity covenant (which may increase up to $400 million dependent on the nature of transactions we may decide to enter into), a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00, a maximum total net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, and a maximum secured net leverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00.

On April 22, 2024, additional lenders joined the Credit Agreement, providing an increase in total commitments from $550 million to $680 million (performance letters of credit increased from $250 million to $309 million and borrowings or additional performance or financial letters of credit increased from $300 million to $371 million). On June 6, 2024, an additional lender joined the Credit Agreement, providing an increase in total commitments from $680 million to $720 million (performance letters of credit increased to $327 million and revolving loan borrowings or additional performance or financial letters of credit increased to $393 million). In addition, we amended the Credit Agreement to allow for future increases in total commitments of up to $1 billion.

As of June 30, 2024, we had zero borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $389 million of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit consisted of $289 million for performance letters of credit and $48 million for financial letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and $52 million letters of credit under various uncommitted bi-lateral facilities ($44 million of which was cash collateral held and recorded in “Restricted Cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

As of December 31, 2023, we had zero borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $376 million of letters of credit. The letters of credit consisted of $218 million for performance letters of credit and $52 million for financial letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and $106 million letters of credit under various uncommitted bi-lateral facilities ($101 million of which was cash collateral held and recorded in “Restricted Cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

Fair Value

The fair value of our long-term debt fluctuates with changes in applicable interest rates among other factors. Fair value will exceed carrying value when the current market interest rate is lower than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued and will be less than the carrying value when the market rate is greater than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued. The fair value of our long-term debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is established based on observable inputs in less active markets. The table below presents the fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt (excluding finance leases).

7 – Disputes, Litigation and Legal Contingencies

We are subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of the nature of our business. We have certain claims, disputes and pending litigation for which we do not believe a negative outcome is probable or for which we can only estimate a range of liability. It is possible, however, that an unexpected judgment could be rendered against us, or we could decide to resolve a case or cases, which would result in a liability that could be uninsured and beyond the amounts we currently have reserved and in some cases those losses could be material. If one or more negative outcomes were to occur relative to these cases, the aggregate impact to our financial condition could be material.

8 – Shareholders’ Equity

Shares issued and outstanding on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets increased from 72.1 million as of December 31, 2023 to 73.2 million as of June 30, 2024. The change was due to equity awards granted, vested, and exercised, net of shares withheld for taxes, which also included the issuance of 844,702 of our ordinary shares in connection with acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The following summarizes our shareholders’ equity activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

9 – Income per Share

A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share calculation was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net Income Attributable to Weatherford	$	125	$	82	$	237	$	154

Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	73.2		72.1		73.1		72.1
Dilutive Effect of Awards Granted in Stock Incentive Plan	2.1		1.3		1.9		1.3
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	75.3		73.4		75.0		73.4

Basic Income per Share	$	1.71	$	1.14	$	3.25	$	2.14
Diluted Income per Share	$	1.66	$	1.12	$	3.16	$	2.11

Anti-dilutive Weighted Average Shares:
Warrants	—		7.8		—		7.8
Equity Awards	0.5		1.0		0.5		0.9
Total Anti-dilutive Weighted Average Shares	0.5		8.8		0.5		8.7

Basic income per share for all periods presented equals net income divided by our weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by our weighted average shares outstanding during the period including potential dilutive ordinary shares. Anti-dilutive weighted average shares represent securities that could potentially dilute income per share in the future, which are excluded from the computation as their impact was anti-dilutive.

Warrants to purchase 7.8 million ordinary shares at $99.96 per share were issued on December 13, 2019 and expired on December 13, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 warrants were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the exercise price of the warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s ordinary shares.

10 – Income Taxes

We recognized a tax expense of $73 million and $132 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and a tax benefit of $16 million and tax expense of $22 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Income tax expense was higher in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, primarily due to increased earnings before taxes. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a release of valuation allowances and the recognition of a benefit from previously uncertain tax positions in the second quarter. Those benefits were offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance of approximately $20 million related to the sale of Blue Chip Swap securities in Argentina. We calculate income tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 740 - Income Taxes.

The relationship between our pre-tax income or loss and our income tax provision or benefit varies from period to period due to various factors which include changes in total pre-tax income or loss, the jurisdictions in which our income is earned, the tax laws in those jurisdictions and in our operating structure. We provide for income taxes based on the laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we or our subsidiaries are considered residents for income tax purposes. Our income tax provisions are primarily driven by income in certain jurisdictions and withholding taxes on intercompany and third-party transactions that do not directly correlate to ordinary income or loss. Certain charges and impairments recognized do not result in significant tax benefit as a result of being attributed to a non-income tax jurisdiction or our inability to forecast realization of the tax benefit of such losses. This is partially offset by the utilization of previously unbenefited deferred tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards.

In December 2023, Ireland enacted tax legislation that models the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development reform plans focused on global profit allocation and implementing a global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational corporations on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, known as “Pillar Two.” This is not expected to materially increase the taxes we owe.

We routinely undergo tax examination in various jurisdictions. We cannot predict the timing or outcome regarding resolution of these tax examinations or if they will have a material impact on our financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, we anticipate that it is reasonably possible that our uncertain tax positions of $278 million, including interest and penalties offset by net operating losses and other tax attributes if settled, may decrease by up to $13 million in the next twelve months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, settlements and/or conclusions of tax examinations.

11 – Credit Default Swap

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a credit default swap (“CDS”) with a third-party financial institution terminating in February of 2026 related to a secured loan between that third-party financial institution and our largest customer in Mexico. The secured loan was utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables and accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2023 and January of 2024, we received $140 million and $142 million, respectively.

Under the CDS terms, within five business days upon notification of default, we could be required to pay the then outstanding notional balance net of recoveries. As of December 31, 2023, we had a notional balance of $130 million outstanding under the CDS, which increased to $260 million in January of 2024, following the receipt of the $142 million payment. The agreement was modified during the second quarter of 2024 to reduce the notional balance and as of June 30, 2024, the notional balance under the CDS was $108 million. The fair value of this derivative was not material as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The CDS agreement was terminated on July 17, 2024 and the remaining notional balance was eliminated.

12 – Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina

The functional currency for our Argentine operations is the U.S. dollar and we use Argentina’s official exchange rate to remeasure our Argentine peso-denominated net monetary assets into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date. The Central Bank of Argentina has maintained certain currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. As such, we have used an indirect foreign exchange mechanism known as a Blue Chip Swap (“BCS”) which allows entities to remit U.S. dollars from Argentina through the purchase and sale of securities. During the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, we completed a series of BCS transactions at implied exchange rates (“BCS rates”) that were approximately 26% and 106% higher, respectively, than the official exchange rate, resulting in a loss of $10 million and $57

million, respectively.

13 – Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we closed on acquisitions with total consideration of $136 million, which includes $36 million in cash net of cash acquired and 844,702 of our ordinary shares valued at $75 million on the closing dates. The purchases were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 805 Business Combinations and the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values measured in accordance with the guidance under ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The fair value measurements of the intangible assets were based on inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. The fair value of intangible assets recorded at the acquisition date was $88 million and an immaterial amount was recorded for goodwill and contingent considerations. Acquisition-related costs incurred by the Company are expensed as incurred. The operating results of the acquired businesses were included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. See also “Note 5 – Intangibles, Net” and “Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity” in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

14 – Subsequent Events

On July 23, 2024, we announced that our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share of the Company’s ordinary shares, payable on September 12, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 13, 2024. We also announced that our Board has authorized a dividend program under which we intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, subject to our Board’s discretion and continuing determination that it is in the best interest of the Company and complies with applicable legal requirements.

Also on July 23, 2024, we announced our Board’s approval of a new $500 million share repurchase program.

The CDS agreement at “Note 11 – Credit Default Swap” was terminated on July 17, 2024 and the remaining notional balance was eliminated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As used in this item, “Weatherford”, “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Weatherford International plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland, and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.” Our discussion includes various forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our future results. These statements include assumptions, certain risks and uncertainties. For information about these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, refer to the section “Forward-Looking Statements” and the section “PART II - OTHER INFORMATION - Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Business

Weatherford is a leading global energy services company providing equipment and services used in the drilling, evaluation, well construction, completion, production, intervention and responsible abandonment of wells in the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry as well as new energy platforms.

We conduct business in approximately 75 countries, answering the challenges of the energy industry with 330 operating locations including manufacturing, research and development, service, and training facilities. Our operational performance is reviewed and managed across the life cycle of the wellbore, and we report in three segments (1) Drilling and Evaluation, (2) Well Construction and Completions, and (3) Production and Intervention.

Drilling and Evaluation (“DRE”) offers a suite of services including managed pressure drilling, drilling services, wireline and drilling fluids. DRE offerings range from early well planning to reservoir management through innovative tools and expert engineering to optimize reservoir access and productivity.

Well Construction and Completions (“WCC”) offers products and services for well integrity assurance across the full life cycle of the well. The primary offerings are tubular running services, cementation products, completions, liner hangers and well services. WCC deploys conventional to advanced technologies, providing safe and efficient services in any environment during the well construction phase.

Production and Intervention (“PRI”) offers a suite of reservoir stimulation designs, and engineering capabilities that isolate zones and unlock reserves in conventional and unconventional wells, deep water, and aging reservoirs. The primary offerings are intervention services & drilling tools, artificial lift, digital solutions, sub-sea intervention and pressure pumping services in select markets.

Industry Trends

Demand for our industry’s products and services is driven by many factors, including commodity prices, the number of oil and gas rigs and wells drilled, depth and drilling conditions of wells, number of well completions, age of existing wells, reservoir depletion, regulatory environment, and the level of workover activity worldwide.

Lower oil and natural gas prices and lower rig count generally correlate to lower exploration and production spending, and higher oil and natural gas prices and higher rig count generally correlate to higher exploration and production spending. Therefore, our financial results are significantly affected by oil and natural gas prices as well as rig counts.

Russia Ukraine Conflict

On February 24, 2022, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine (“Russia Ukraine Conflict”) began and in response we evaluated, and continue to evaluate, our operations, with the priority being centered on the safety and well-being of our employees in the impacted regions, as well as operating in full compliance with applicable international laws and sanctions.

Revenues in Russia were approximately 5% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 6% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, our Russia operations included $84 million in cash, $100 million in other current assets, $78 million in property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, and $54 million in liabilities. As of December 31, 2023, our Russia operations included $62 million in cash, $94 million in other current assets, $76 million in property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, and $62 million in liabilities.

We continue to closely monitor and evaluate the developments in Russia as well as any changes in international laws and sanctions. We believe that operational complexity will increase over time and therefore continually evaluate these potential impacts on our business. As such, we continue to actively evaluate various options, strategies and contingencies with respect to our business in Russia, including, but not limited to:

•continuing the business in compliance with applicable laws and sanctions;

•evaluating the continued use or change in products, equipment and service offerings we currently provide in

Russia;

•curtailing or winding down our activities over time;

•potentially divesting some or all of our assets or businesses in Russia, which could include the option of re-entering the country if and when sanctions or applicable laws would allow for the same; and

•potential nationalization of the business.

Consolidated Statements of Operations - Operating Summary

Revenues of $1.4 billion and $2.8 billion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 10% and 12% compared to $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Year-over-year in the second quarter, product revenues increased 13% and service revenues increased 9%. WCC, DRE, and PRI contributed 49%, 25%, and 2% of the increase in revenues, respectively. The remaining revenue increase was due to higher activity in integrated services and projects. Year-over-year in the six months ended June 30, 2024, product revenues increased 12% and service revenues 13%. WCC, DRE, and PRI contributed 33%, 27%, and 1% of the increase in revenues, respectively. The remaining revenue increase was due to higher activity in integrated services and projects.

Geographically, the year-over-year second quarter revenue growth was led by improvements in the Middle East/North Africa/Asia and Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia regions, which contributed to 92% and 31% of the increase, respectively, partly offset by a revenue decline in Latin America and North America. Year-over-year in the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue growth was led by improvements in the Middle East/North Africa/Asia, Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia, and Latin America regions, which contributed to 80%, 19% and 12% of the increase, respectively, partly offset by a revenue decline in North America.

Operating income of $264 million and $497 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 31% and 29% compared to $201 million and $386 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, primarily driven by improved operational efficiencies from increased resource utilization in addition to gains on sales of used rental equipment. Cost of products and services of $891 million and $1.8 billion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 5% and 8% compared to $847 million and $1.6 billion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Our cost of products and services as a percentage of revenues was 63% and 64% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 66% and 67% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, reflecting improved utilization on a more efficient operating cost structure.

Average oil prices in the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 11% for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and 8% for Brent North Sea crude oil and in the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 6% for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and 5% for Brent North Sea crude oil compared to the same periods in 2023, respectively. Average Henry Hub natural gas prices in the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased 4% and in the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by 12%, compared to the same periods in 2023, respectively. Global rig counts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 5% compared to both the same periods in 2023, respectively, driven by a decrease in North America. The year-over-year decrease in both the Henry Hub natural gas prices and North America rig count reflects the lower market demand and oversupply of natural gas in the region.

Selling, general, administrative and research and development costs of $247 million and $483 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 10% in both periods compared to $225 million and $441 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase primarily reflects an increase in overhead to support organization growth and an increase in research and development on newer technologies. Selling, general, administrative and research and development costs as a percentage of revenues was 18% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Consolidated Statements of Operations - Non-Operating Summary

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $24 million and $53 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $31 million and $62 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Interest expense, net is interest expense net of interest income.

Interest expense of $41 million and $84 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $47 million and $94 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, decreased primarily due to the reduction in our outstanding long-term debt. As of June 30, 2024, we have fully repaid our outstanding 2028 Senior Secured Notes. See “Note 6 – Borrowings and Other Debt Obligations” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. Interest income was $17 million and $31 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $16 million and $32 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Loss on Blue Chip Swap Securities

An indirect foreign exchange mechanism known as the Blue Chip Swap (“BCS”) allows entities to remit U.S. dollars from Argentina through the purchase and sale of securities. We entered into a series of BCS securities transactions that resulted in a “Loss on Blue Chip Swap Securities” of $10 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and $57 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. See “Note 12 – Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was $20 million and $42 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $39 million and $74 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Other expense, net primarily represents foreign exchange losses in countries with no or limited markets to hedge, letter of credit fees and other financing charges, including when applicable, bond redemption premiums partially offset by certain investment gains and losses. When economically advantageous, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of future cash flows denominated in a foreign currency.

Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes based on the laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we or our subsidiaries are considered residents for income tax purposes. The relationship between our pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations and our income tax benefit or provision varies from period to period as a result of various factors, which include changes in total pre-tax income or loss, the jurisdictions in which our income is earned, the tax laws in those jurisdictions, the impacts of tax planning activities and the resolution of tax audits. Our effective rate differs from the Irish statutory tax rate as the majority of our operations are taxed in jurisdictions with different tax rates. In addition, certain charges do not result in significant tax benefit as a result of being attributed to a non-income tax jurisdiction or our inability to forecast realization of the tax benefit of such losses. Charges can be partially offset by the utilization of previously unbenefited deferred tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards. Please see “Note 10 – Income Taxes” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

DRE Results

DRE revenues of $427 million and $849 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $33 million or 8%, and increased $83 million or 11%, compared to $394 million and $766 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Of the second quarter year-over-year revenue increase, approximately 85% was from wireline activity after business acquisitions in the first quarter of 2024. Geographically, the Middle East/North Africa/Asia and Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia regions contributed approximately 65% and 35%, respectively, to the regions with revenue growth, offset by a revenue decline in the Latin America region, primarily from project delays.

Of the year-to-date year-over-year increase, approximately 65% was from wireline activity, and geographically, the Middle East/North Africa/Asia and Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia regions contributed approximately 60% and 40%, respectively, to the regions with revenue growth, offset by a revenue decline in the Latin America region.

DRE segment adjusted EBITDA of $130 million and $260 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $24 million or 23%, and increased $46 million or 21%, compared to $106 million and $214 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. DRE segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 30.4% and 30.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 26.9% and 27.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The improvement in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to timing of certain higher margin international managed pressure drilling activity, including certain sales of used rental equipment, which more than offset the decrease in Latin America project delays.

WCC Results

WCC revenues of $504 million and $962 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $64 million or 15%, and increased $101 million or 12%, compared to $440 million and $861 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Of the second quarter year-over-year revenue increase, approximately 70% was from completions and liner hanger activity, primarily from the timing of deliveries. Geographically, the Middle East/North Africa/Asia region contributed approximately 90% to the overall revenue growth.

Of the year-to-date year-over-year revenue increase, approximately 45% was from liner hangers and tubular running services activity and approximately 40% was from completions activity. Geographically, international regions drove the revenue growth and the Middle East/North Africa/Asia region contributed approximately 80% of the international growth. This was partly offset by a revenue decline in North America, primarily on account of lower demand in that region.

WCC segment adjusted EBITDA of $145 million and $265 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $36 million or 33%, and increased $60 million or 29%, compared to $109 million and $205 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. WCC segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.8% and 27.5% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 24.8% and 23.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily from higher completions activity.

PRI Results

PRI revenues of $369 million and $717 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $3 million and $2 million, compared to $366 million and $715 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Of the second quarter year-over-year revenue increase, the modest increase in intervention services and drilling tools was partly offset by a decline in artificial lift activity. Geographically, revenue growth in the Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia and Middle East/North Africa/Asia regions was offset by a decline in the North America and Latin America regions.

Of the year-to-date year-over-year revenue increase, the modest increase in intervention services and drilling tools was partly offset by a decline in artificial lift and pressure pumping activity. Geographically, revenue growth in the Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia and Middle East/North Africa/Asia regions was offset by a decline in North America.

PRI segment adjusted EBITDA of $85 million and $158 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $4 million or 5% and increased $9 million or 6% compared to $81 million and $149 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. PRI segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.0% and 22.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 22.1% and 20.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily from higher artificial lift activity.

All Other Results

All other results were from non-core business activities that do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting, including integrated services and projects, which includes pass through and project management services.

All Other revenues of $105 million and $235 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $74 million and $118 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily from our integrated services and projects in the Middle East/North Africa/Asia and Latin America regions.

Corporate

Corporate was a net expense of $18 million and $32 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $14 million and $26 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in certain professional fees.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization were $86 million and $171 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $81 million and $161 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a larger asset base.

Share-based Compensation

We recognized $12 million and $25 million of share-based compensation in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $8 million and $17 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in equity awards granted.

Outlook

Growth and spending in the energy services industry is highly dependent on many external factors. These include but are not limited to; inflation; geopolitical uncertainty; supply chain disruptions; energy policies at local and regional levels; rig counts; and the price of oil and natural gas. We continue to expect overall 2024 growth to outpace 2023, led by international activity and global offshore activity. We expect continued improvements in our customer activity levels and generally constructive macroeconomic conditions, all of which are expected to continue to provide a pathway to a multi-year energy demand expansion. We continue to closely monitor macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, potential supply chain disruptions, inflationary factors, and other labor and logistical constraints that could impact our operations and results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $862 million and $58 million in restricted cash, compared to $958 million of cash and cash equivalents and $105 million in restricted cash at December 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes cash flows provided by (used in) each type of business activity in the periods presented:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2024		2023
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	281	$	285
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities	$	(115)	$	(122)
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(289)	$	(297)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $281 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $285 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary operating sources of cash were from the timing of cash generated by our operations, offset by our operating spend, including payments to suppliers and employees. Net cash provided by operating activities was also benefited by accounts receivable factoring, as further described in the Accounts Receivable Factoring section below.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $115 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to cash used in investing activities of $122 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary investing uses of cash were for capital expenditures of $121 million and $100 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Cash used in investing activities also includes the use of the Blue Chip Swap mechanism in Argentina, of which the purchases more than offset the proceeds, resulting in a loss of $10 million and $57 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 (see “Note 12 – Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina”). The increase in business acquisitions, net of cash acquired in the current period was primarily from our acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2024 (see “Note 13 – Acquisitions”). Other investing activities include proceeds from the disposition of assets and proceeds from the sale of investments from our marketable securities in Argentina, offset by investing spend around other intangibles.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $289 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to cash used in financing activities of $297 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary financing uses of cash were for repayments and repurchases of long-term debt of $259 million and $230 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively (see “Note 6 – Borrowings and Other Debt Obligations”). Cash used in financing activities also includes tax remittances on equity awards vested, which were lower this period compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decrease in the quantity of shares vested. In addition, the tax remittance of $54 million on equity rewards vested in the prior year reflected the impact on the timing of both the quantity of shares vested and the increase in share price of those awards upon vesting. Other financing uses of cash include distributions to noncontrolling interests and bond redemption premiums paid.

Sources of Liquidity

Our sources of available liquidity include cash generated by our operations, cash and cash equivalent balances, and periodic accounts receivable factoring. From time to time, we may enter into transactions to dispose of businesses or capital assets that no longer fit our long-term strategy. We historically have accessed banks for short-term loans and the capital markets for debt and equity offerings. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations and collections, we expect to have sufficient cash from operations and cash on hand to fund our cash requirements (discussed below), both in the short-term and long-term.

Cash Requirements

Our cash requirements will continue to include payments for principal and interest on our long-term debt, capital expenditures, payments on our finance and operating leases, payments for short-term working capital needs, operating costs and restructuring payments. As business activity continues to rise, we expect to utilize cash on capital assets and working capital growth. Our cash requirements also include personnel costs, including awards under our employee incentive programs and other amounts to settle litigation related matters. In addition, we have derivative financial instruments where we have notional amounts that do not generally represent cash amounts exchanged by the parties and are calculated based on the terms of the derivative instrument, however, in the event of a related default, we could potentially be required to pay. See further discussion in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”). The CDS agreement at “Note 11 – Credit Default Swap” was terminated on July 17, 2024 and the remaining notional balance was eliminated (see “Note 14 – Subsequent Events”). Our cash requirements will also include payments for our shareholder returns program described in “Note 14 – Subsequent Events.”

As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of our primary debt outstanding was $1.6 billion of our 2030 Senior Notes. We expect to pay $138 million in interest payments in 2024 specific to this note, of which we have paid $69 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. See “Note 6 – Borrowings and Other Debt Obligations” for additional information.

Our capital spend is expected to be 3-5% of revenue over a 12 to 18 month rolling period and our 2024 capital spend is projected to be within the same framework. Our payments on our operating and finance leases in 2024 are expected to be approximately $63 million and $25 million, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by subsidiaries outside of Ireland. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had approximately $123 million and $92 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents that cannot be immediately repatriated from various countries due to country central bank controls or other regulations. As we continue to conduct business in certain countries with cash that cannot be immediately repatriated, we may consider infrequent transactions to safeguard our cash from exposure to the effects of inflation and currency devaluation. Repatriation of those cash balances might result in incremental taxes or losses.

Ratings Services’ Credit Ratings

Our credit ratings at December 31, 2023 have been maintained through June 30, 2024.

Table of Contents

Customer Receivables

We may experience delays or defaults in customer payments due to, among other reasons, a weaker economic environment, reductions in our customers’ cash flow from operations, our customers’ inability to access credit markets or reach acceptable financing terms, as well as unsettled political and/or social conditions. Allowances have been recorded for receivables believed to be uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other collection issues such as disputed invoices. Adjustments to the allowance are made depending on how potential issues are resolved and the financial condition of our customers. In addition, our customers are primarily in fossil fuel-related industries and broad declines in demand for or pricing of oil or natural gas might impact the collections of our customer receivables.

In addition to the exposure in Mexico as noted in the above “Cash Requirements” section and in “Note 11 – Credit Default Swap”, our net accounts receivables in Mexico were 35% and 27% of our total net accounts receivables, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of which our largest customer in the country accounted for 31% and 22% of our total net outstanding accounts receivables, respectively. From time to time, we experience delays in payments from our largest customer in Mexico. The balances due are not in dispute and we do not expect to have any material write-offs of receivables, however, delays or defaults in customer payments in the future could differ from management’s expectations and negatively impact the future results of the Company.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our net accounts receivables in the U.S. was under 10% and was 11% of total net accounts receivables, respectively. Except for the above, no other country accounted for more than 10% of our net accounts receivables balance.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

From time to time, we participate in factoring arrangements to sell accounts receivable to third-party financial institutions for cash proceeds net of discounts and hold-back. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold accounts receivable balances of $43 million and $51 million, and received cash proceeds of $42 million and $50 million, respectively, at the time of factoring. Of the $43 million in accounts receivable sold during the second quarter of 2024, $39 million was from a new factoring arrangement we entered into during the quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold accounts receivable balances of $63 million and $109 million, and received cash proceeds of $61 million and $103 million, respectively, at the time of factoring.

Guarantees

Our 2028 Senior Secured Notes were issued by Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Weatherford Bermuda”), and guaranteed by the Company and Weatherford International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Weatherford Delaware”) and other subsidiary guarantors party thereto. The remaining principal of our 2028 Senior Secured Notes was redeemed and paid in full on May 23, 2024.

Our 2030 Senior Notes were issued by Weatherford Bermuda and guaranteed by the Company and other subsidiary guarantors party thereto. On December 1, 2022, the indenture related to our 2030 Senior Notes was amended and supplemented to add Weatherford Delaware as co-issuer and co-obligor, and concurrently released the guarantee of Weatherford Delaware.

Credit Agreement, Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

Table of Contents

additional performance or financial letters of credit increased from $300 million to $371 million). On June 6, 2024, an additional lender joined the Credit Agreement, providing an increase in total commitments from $680 million to $720 million (performance letters of credit increased to $327 million and revolving loan borrowings or additional performance or financial letters of credit increased to $393 million). In addition, we amended the Credit Agreement to allow for future increases in total commitments of up to $1 billion.

As of June 30, 2024, we had zero borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $389 million of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit consisted of 289 million for performance letters of credit and $48 million for financial letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and $52 million letters of credit under various uncommitted bi-lateral facilities ($44 million of which was cash collateral held and recorded in “Restricted Cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

As of December 31, 2023, we had zero borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $376 million of letters of credit. The letters of credit consisted of $218 million for performance letters of credit and $52 million for financial letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and $106 million of letters of credit under various uncommitted bi-lateral facilities ($101 million of which was cash collateral held and recorded in “Restricted Cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

We utilize surety bonds as part of our customary business practice in certain regions, primarily Latin America. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had surety bonds outstanding of $526 million and $594 million, respectively. Any of our outstanding letters of credit or surety bonds could be called by the beneficiaries should we breach certain contractual or performance obligations and could reduce our available liquidity if we are unable to mitigate the issue.

Exhibit 10.4

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL PLC
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

(Second Amended and Restated as of July 23, 2024)

1.Purpose. This Weatherford International plc (the “Company”) Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to align the interests of the Company and eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2.Adoption of the Plan. The Plan was originally adopted effective as of January 1, 2021 and was subsequently amended and restated by the Committee effective as of January 18, 2023 and July 23, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). The Plan shall be in effect from the Effective Date, may be amended from time to time, and shall continue until terminated by the Committee.

3.General. The compensation provided under the Plan is intended to be in addition to all other compensation payable to Participants under any employment agreement or incentive plan or program in effect with the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, “Weatherford”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Participant is entitled to participate in or otherwise receive a bonus paid by Weatherford under any bonus scheme, plan, employment agreement or applicable collective agreement provided under the applicable law of the country(ies) in which they have performed services for Weatherford (a “Statutory Bonus”), it is the intent of the Committee that such Participant shall not receive the full amount of the Performance Incentive and the applicable Statutory Bonus(es) in the same Plan Year and the applicable Statutory Bonus shall prevail and supersede the Plan. In those countries where the Statutory Bonus is required, regardless of eligibility in the Plan, the Statutory Bonus will be paid; provided, however, that if the amount of the Performance Incentive exceeds the amount of the Statutory Bonus the Participant is entitled to for the same given Plan Year, a true-up payment will be made in an amount equal to the difference between the Performance Incentive and the Statutory Bonus for the Plan Year (“Performance Incentive True-Up”). If the Performance Incentive for the applicable Plan Year is less than the Statutory Bonus applicable to the same year, payment of the Statutory Bonus shall satisfy Weatherford’s Performance Incentive obligations for such Plan Year and no further incentive payment or obligation will be due or owing to such participant for the applicable Plan Year.

4.Definitions. For purposes of this Plan:

(a)“Board” means the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b)"Cause” means , unless otherwise provided in a Company severance plan or an agreement covering the Participant or other plan of which the Participant is also a participant thereunder, the Participant's: (i) commission of, conviction for, plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or other material act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud, (ii) engaging in conduct that constitutes fraud or embezzlement, (iii) engaging in conduct that constitutes gross negligence or willful gross misconduct that results or could reasonably be expected to result in harm to any member of the Company Group’s business or reputation, (iv) breach of any material terms of written agreement between the Company and the Participant, (v) willful neglect in the performance of Participant's duties on behalf of the Company Group or willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform the Participant's duties on behalf of the Company Group or (vi) violation of any material policy of any member of the Company Group, including, but not limited to, those relating to discrimination, harassment, performance of illegal or unethical activities, and ethical misconduct; provided, in any case, the Participant's resignation after an event that would be grounds for a termination of employment for Cause will be treated as a termination of employment for Cause hereunder. Any determination of whether Cause exists shall be made by the

#1201221v7

Committee in its sole discretion (for Executive Officers) and the Company (for persons other than Executive Officers).

(c)“Committee” means the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board or a designee of the Committee authorized to act on its behalf with respect to the Plan.

(d)“Company Group” means the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and each of their respective members, officers and directors.

(e)“Executive Officer” means any person who is an executive officer within the meaning of Rule 3b-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or an officer within the meaning of Section 16 of Securities Exchange Act of 1934. “GAAP” means U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

(f)“Performance Goals” means the Performance Metrics as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion for Participants for each Plan Year and communicated, in writing, to each Participant each Plan Year.

(g)“Performance Incentive” shall mean, in the case of any Participant, the incentive payable to such Participant under the Plan for the applicable Plan Year.

(h)“Performance Incentive Amount” shall mean, in the case of any Participant, the amount of the Performance Incentive each Participant is eligible to earn as determined by the Committee (for Executive Officers) or by the Company (for persons other than Executive Officers).

(i)“Performance Metrics” means the performance metrics (also referred to as key performance indicators or KPIs) used to measure the Company’s performance under the Plan, as may be applicable to a Participant from time to time.

(j)“Plan Year” means the applicable calendar year.

5.Eligible Participants. Each person designated by the Committee (for Executive Officers) or by the Company (for persons other than Executive Officers) from time to time shall be a participant in the Plan and eligible to receive a Performance Incentive with respect to each Plan Year (a “Participant”); provided, however, that any person designated by the Committee or by the Company to participate in the Plan who is or becomes subject to a written performance improvement plan may have their Performance Incentive reduced or forfeited. Furthermore, and unless expressly decided otherwise by the Committee, the following persons shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan for that Plan Year: (i) employees hired after September 30th of the applicable Plan Year, (ii) independent contractors or consultants, (iii) temporary or seasonal employees, (iv) employees of discontinued operations, or (v) employees transferred or promoted into an eligible position after November 30 of the Plan Year. Entitlement to participate in this Plan shall not afford or guarantee a right to participate in any other incentive plans of the Company, and no Participant under this Plan may participate in any other short-term incentive plan of the Company without the Committee’s express consent.

6.Term of Participation.

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Plan, each Participant may earn a Performance Incentive for a Plan Year, equal to all or a portion of the Performance Incentive Amount, depending upon the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved for such Plan Year and subject in all respects to the discretion of the Committee.

#1201221v7

(b)If the Plan is terminated after the commencement, and before the end, of a Plan Year each Participant who is then employed by the Company shall earn a prorated amount of the Performance Incentive (based on the number of days in the Plan Year that has elapsed).

(c)Any Performance Incentive earned under this Plan shall be paid by the Company no later than March 15th of the year immediately following the applicable Plan Year (the “Payment Date”). If a Participant is on a Company-approved leave of absence on the Payment Date, the Performance Incentive will be paid as soon as reasonably practicable after the Participant’s return to work.

(d)Except as required under applicable law or as otherwise required or permitted hereby, a Participant must remain employed by the Company Group through the Payment Date in order to earn a Performance Incentive for any Plan Year. A Participant whose employment with the Company Group terminates for any reason (including any Participant that has notified the Company of their intent to resign or who have received a notice of termination from the Company) prior to the Payment Date shall forfeit the right to any Performance Incentive for that Plan Year. Furthermore, each Participant shall have timely completed all safety, compliance and other required training in order to be eligible for their Performance Incentive for any Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant whose employment with the Company Group is involuntarily terminated by the Company Group without Cause after the end of the applicable Plan Year but prior to the Payment Date shall be entitled to receive payment of the Performance Incentive on the Payment Date in an amount equal to the amount the Participant would have earned and been paid on the Payment Date if such Participant remained employed by the Company Group on such Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant who voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company Group for any reason prior to the Payment Date shall forfeit the right to any Performance Incentive for that Plan Year.

(e)The Committee may, in its sole discretion, (i) reduce or eliminate a Performance Incentive granted to a Participant before the Performance Incentive has been paid for any reason, including by example but without limitation, the Committee’s judgment that the Performance Goals have become an inappropriate measure of achievement, a change in employment status, position or duties of the Participant, unsatisfactory performance of the Participant or the Participant’s service for less than the entire Plan Year and/or (ii) determine to pay a Performance Incentive granted to a Participant or a prorated amount or other portion thereof for any reason, including in connection with a Participant’s a change in employment status, position or duties of the Participant.

7.Performance Improvement Participants. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 6 above, any Participant who is or becomes subject to a written performance improvement plan may have his or her Performance Incentive reduced or forfeited as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

8.Performance Goals. As soon as administratively practicable after the end of a Plan Year, the Committee (for Executive Officers) and the Company (for persons other than Executive Officers) shall certify the degree to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved and the amount payable to each Participant hereunder.

9.Adjustments to Performance Goals. The Committee may adjust, in whole or in part, any Performance Goals (including any Performance Metrics, formulas, performance-based measures or the targeted achievement levels (including any minimum or maximum achievement levels)) relating to such Performance Goals, as the Committee may deem appropriate and equitable and to avoid undue harm or enrichment to account for any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period, without duplication:

#1201221v7

(a)any changes in financial reporting, including (i) the effects of currency fluctuations, (ii) adjustments used to derive non-GAAP financial performance measures, as reflected in any Company disclosure, (iii) asset write-downs, write-offs, impairments or losses and the positive impact on depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of the impairment for the period commencing on the date of the impairment and ending on the last day of the Performance Period, (iv) gains or losses (or amortization thereof) resulting from any newly-enacted law or regulation, litigation and regulatory claims, charges, judgments or settlements, including legal fees, (v) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles, regulatory pronouncements or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (vi) accelerated amortization or write-off of deferred financing and debt discount costs as a result of debt repayments or refinancings or (vii) any errors in calculating projected financial results used as the basis for determining a Performance Goal;

(b)any non-recurring, infrequent or unusual events that (i) would provide the Participant undue harm or enrichment, (ii) are related to accounting and non-operational items, (iii) are the result of reorganization and restructuring programs, capital return strategies or financings or refinancings, (iv) are a major casualty or natural disaster that directly result in gains or losses or (v) are related to any acquisition or divestiture on financial statements, including pre-and post-transition, alignment, purchase accounting adjustments, restructuring charges and integration costs; or

(c)any other events, as reasonably determined by the Committee.

10.Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all Performance Incentives shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (a) the Company’s Compensation Clawback Policy and any other clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (b) applicable law. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in good faith in its reasonable discretion, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the Performance Incentive for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. By accepting a Performance Incentive under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have acknowledged and consented to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee, whether adopted prior to or following the date of grant of the Performance Incentive, and any provision of applicable law relating to reduction cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment, and to have agreed that the Company may take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate any such policy or applicable law, without further consideration or action.

11.Plan Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee is given full authority and discretion to establish such administrative measures as may be necessary to administer and attain the objectives of this Plan and may delegate the authority to administer the Plan to an officer of the Company. The Committee (or its delegate, as applicable) shall have full power and authority to construe and interpret this Plan and any interpretation by the Committee shall be binding on all Participants and shall be accorded the maximum deference permitted by law.

(a)All rights and interests of Participants under this Plan shall be non-assignable and nontransferable, and otherwise not subject to pledge or encumbrance, whether voluntary or involuntary, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business, whether by merger, stock sale, consolidation or otherwise, the Company may assign this Plan.

#1201221v7

(b)Any payment to a Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Company Group, and the Company may require Participant, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

(c)Amounts due under the Plan are calculated on base (basic) salary, as defined in the general administrative addendum of this Plan, and such payment of amounts due under the Plan shall be provided to Participant in the same manner as Participant receives his or her regular paycheck or by mail at the last known address of Participant in the possession of the Company, at the sole discretion of Committee. The Company will deduct all applicable taxes and any other withholdings required to be withheld with respect to the payment of any award pursuant to this Plan.

(d)The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to ensure the payment of any award provided for hereunder. Performance Incentive payments shall not be considered as extraordinary, special incentive compensation, and it will not be included as “earnings,” “wages,” “salary,” or “compensation” in any pension, welfare, life insurance, or other employee benefit plan or arrangement of the Company Group. To the extent there exists any conflict between the terms of this Section 11(d) of this Plan and applicable local laws, the applicable local laws shall apply.

(e)The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to modify, supplement, suspend or terminate this Plan or waive or alter this Plan or any rights of any Participant hereunder at any time; provided that in no event shall any amendment or termination adversely affect the rights of Participants regarding any Performance Incentive for a Plan Year that is payable but not yet paid as of the date of such action without the consent of the affected Participants. Subject to the foregoing, the Plan shall terminate upon the satisfaction of all obligations of the Company or its successor entities hereunder.

(f)Nothing contained in this Plan shall in any way affect the right and power of the Company to discharge any Participant or otherwise terminate his or her employment at any time or for any reason or to change the terms of his or her employment in any manner.

(g)Except as otherwise provided under this Plan, any expense incurred in administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company.

(h)Captions preceding the sections hereof are inserted solely as a matter of convenience and in no way define or limit the scope or intent of any provision hereof.

(i)The administration of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflict of law principles of any state. Any persons or corporations who now are or shall subsequently become parties to the Plan shall be deemed to consent to this provision.

(j)The Plan is intended to either comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”). To the extent that the Plan is not exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest, income inclusion or other penalty that may be imposed on a Participant by Code Section 409A or for damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

THIS PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”), and you as the Participant specified below, pursuant to the Weatherford International plc Third Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee (as defined in the Plan); and

WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Performance Restricted Share Units (“PSUs”) provided herein to the Participant.

49007517v2

provisions are made a part of and incorporated into this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. This Agreement, together with the Plan, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements or prior understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties relating to such subject matter. Except as provided otherwise herein, any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan and the “Performance Period” shall mean the [one][two][three] fiscal-year period commencing on the first day of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Grant Date occurs. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2.Grant of Performance Restricted Share Unit Award. The Company hereby grants the target number of PSUs specified above, as of the Grant Date stated above (the “Target Award”). Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of the Shares underlying the PSUs, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.

3.Vesting.

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the PSUs subject to this Agreement shall be eligible to vest on the last day of the Performance Period, subject to the Participant’s continued Service with the Company on such date.

(i)The actual number of PSUs that are earned, if any, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement is subject to increase or decrease based on the Company’s actual performance against the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A and may range from [0% to []%] of the Target Award, rounded to the nearest whole Share.

(ii)Following the end of the Performance Period and no later than 60 days thereafter, the Committee will determine the number of PSUs that have been earned (the “Earned PSUs”) in accordance with Exhibit A (such date, the “Determination Date”).

(b)Termination without Cause; for Good Reason; Due to Death or Disability. Subject to Section 4(b), in the event the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (each, as defined in the Company’s Change in Control Severance Plan during the [second][third] year of the Performance Period [, notwithstanding the definitions contained the Participant’s Offer Letter from the Company]), a

49007517v2

pro-rated portion of the Award shall remain eligible to vest at the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance, with such pro-rated portion, if any, determined by multiplying the number of Earned PSUs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the first day of the Performance Period through the Participant’s date of termination, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to the commencement of the [second][third] year of the Performance Period, the PSUs shall be immediately forfeited. Subject to Section 4(b), in the event the Participant’s Service is terminated due to the Participant’s death or Disability, the Shares subject to the PSUs that have not yet vested shall become earned and vested at the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance.

(c)Termination due to Retirement. Subject to Section 4(b), in the event the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Participant due to Retirement and the Participant’s date of termination due to Retirement occurs on or after the 11th month anniversary of the Grant Date, a pro-rated portion of the Award shall remain eligible to vest at the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance, with such pro-rated portion, if any, determined by multiplying the number of Earned PSUs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the Grant Date through the Participant’s date of termination due to Retirement, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Participant’s termination of Service due to Retirement occurs prior to the 11th month anniversary of the Grant Date, the PSUs shall be immediately forfeited. For purposes of this Section 3(c), “Retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary termination of Service after attainment of age 60, with at least ten years of Service and at least three months’ prior written notice to the Company.

(d)Change in Control. Subject to Section 4(b), and not withstanding Section 3(b) or (c), if a Change in Control occurs, the successor or purchaser in the Change in Control has assumed the Company’s obligations with respect to the PSUs or provided a substitute award and the Participant (i) has a Qualifying Termination (as defined in the Company’s Change in Control Severance Plan) or (ii) remains employed with the Company through the end of the Performance Period, then the PSUs shall become earned and vested as of the time immediately prior to the earlier of the Qualifying Termination and the Change in Control (y) at Target achievement of the Performance Goals, if the Change in Control occurs within 12 months following the Grant Date hereunder, or (z) at the greater of Target achievement or the actual achievement of the Performance Goals through the date of the Change in Control, if such Change in Control occurs on or after 12 months following the Grant Date hereunder; provided that if such Qualifying Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, then the PSUs shall become earned and vested as of the time immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination at the greater of Target achievement or the actual achievement of the Performance Goals through the date of such Change in Control.

49007517v2

We have certain claims, disputes and pending litigation for which we do not believe a negative outcome is probable or for which we can only estimate a range of liability. It is possible, however, that an unexpected judgment could be rendered against us, or we could decide to resolve a case or cases, which would result in a liability that could be uninsured and beyond the amounts we currently have reserved and in some cases those losses could be material. If one or more negative outcomes were to occur relative to these cases, the aggregate impact to our financial condition could be material.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	10 – Income Taxes We recognized a tax expense of $73 million and $132 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and a tax benefit of $16 million and tax expense of $22 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Income tax expense was higher in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, primarily due to increased earnings before taxes. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a release of valuation allowances and the recognition of a benefit from previously uncertain tax positions in the second quarter. Those benefits were offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance of approximately $20 million related to the sale of Blue Chip Swap securities in Argentina. We calculate income tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 740 - Income Taxes. The relationship between our pre-tax income or loss and our income tax provision or benefit varies from period to period due to various factors which include changes in total pre-tax income or loss, the jurisdictions in which our income is earned, the tax laws in those jurisdictions and in our operating structure. We provide for income taxes based on the laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we or our subsidiaries are considered residents for income tax purposes. Our income tax provisions are primarily driven by income in certain jurisdictions and withholding taxes on intercompany and third-party transactions that do not directly correlate to ordinary income or loss. Certain charges and impairments recognized do not result in significant tax benefit as a result of being attributed to a non-income tax jurisdiction or our inability to forecast realization of the tax benefit of such losses. This is partially offset by the utilization of previously unbenefited deferred tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards. In December 2023, Ireland enacted tax legislation that models the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development reform plans focused on global profit allocation and implementing a global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational corporations on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, known as “Pillar Two.” This is not expected to materially increase the taxes we owe. We routinely undergo tax examination in various jurisdictions. We cannot predict the timing or outcome regarding resolution of these tax examinations or if they will have a material impact on our financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, we anticipate that it is reasonably possible that our uncertain tax positions of $278 million, including interest and penalties offset by net operating losses and other tax attributes if settled, may decrease by up to $13 million in the next twelve months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, settlements and/or conclusions of tax examinations.

Credit Default Swap	6 Months Ended
Credit Default Swap	Jun. 30, 2024
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Credit Default Swap	11 – Credit Default Swap During the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a credit default swap (“CDS”) with a third-party financial institution terminating in February of 2026 related to a secured loan between that third-party financial institution and our largest customer in Mexico. The secured loan was utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables and accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2023 and January of 2024, we received $140 million and $142 million, respectively. Under the CDS terms, within five business days upon notification of default, we could be required to pay the then outstanding notional balance net of recoveries. As of December 31, 2023, we had a notional balance of $130 million outstanding under the CDS, which increased to $260 million in January of 2024, following the receipt of the $142 million payment. The agreement was modified during the second quarter of 2024 to reduce the notional balance and as of June 30, 2024, the notional balance under the CDS was $108 million. The fair value of this derivative was not material as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The CDS agreement was terminated on July 17, 2024 and the remaining notional balance was eliminated.

Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina	6 Months Ended
Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina	Jun. 30, 2024
Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina	12 – Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina The functional currency for our Argentine operations is the U.S. dollar and we use Argentina’s official exchange rate to remeasure our Argentine peso-denominated net monetary assets into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date. The Central Bank of Argentina has maintained certain currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. As such, we have used an indirect foreign exchange mechanism known as a Blue Chip Swap (“BCS”) which allows entities to remit U.S. dollars from Argentina through the purchase and sale of securities. During the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, we completed a series of BCS transactions at implied exchange rates (“BCS rates”) that were approximately 26% and 106% higher, respectively, than the official exchange rate, resulting in a loss of $10 million and $57 million, respectively.

Acquisitions	6 Months Ended
Acquisitions	Jun. 30, 2024
Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
Acquisitions	13 – Acquisitions During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we closed on acquisitions with total consideration of $136 million, which includes $36 million in cash net of cash acquired and 844,702 of our ordinary shares valued at $75 million on the closing dates. The purchases were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 805 Business Combinations and the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values measured in accordance with the guidance under ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The fair value measurements of the intangible assets were based on inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. The fair value of intangible assets recorded at the acquisition date was $88 million and an immaterial amount was recorded for goodwill and contingent considerations. Acquisition-related costs incurred by the Company are expensed as incurred. The operating results of the acquired businesses were included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition.

We also announced that our Board has authorized a dividend program under which we intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, subject to our Board’s discretion and continuing determination that it is in the best interest of the Company and complies with applicable legal requirements. Also on July 23, 2024, we announced our Board’s approval of a new $500 million share repurchase program. The CDS agreement at “Note 11 – Credit Default Swap” was terminated on July 17, 2024 and the remaining notional balance was eliminated.
