Weatherford Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Results

HOUSTON, March 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Weatherford International plc announced today its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019.

Weatherford emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection pursuant to a prepackaged plan of reorganization on December 13, 2019 and eliminated $6.2 billion of debt as part of its financial restructuring.  Upon emergence, Weatherford adopted fresh-start accounting which results in Weatherford becoming a new entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  As required by GAAP, results for the year must be presented separately as the predecessor period from January 1, 2019 through December 13, 2019 (the "Predecessor" period) and the successor period from December 14, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (the "Successor" period). The results from these Predecessor and Successor periods are not comparable.  Nevertheless, the Company has combined the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods as a non-GAAP measure ("combined" results) to compare to prior periods for discussion purposes herein, as we believe it provides the most meaningful basis to analyze our results.

On a GAAP basis, total revenues and net loss in the Successor period from December 14, 2019 to December 31, 2019 were $261 million and $26 million, respectively.  Total revenues and net income in the Predecessor period from January 1, 2019 to December 13, 2019 were $5.0 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.  Total revenues and net income in the Predecessor period from October 1, 2019 to December 13, 2019 were $985 million and $5.3 billion, respectively.  The Predecessor period includes a net reorganization gain of $5.4 billion from January 1, 2019 to December 13, 2019.

On a non-GAAP basis:

• Full-year 2019 combined revenues of $5.2 billion declined 9% versus 2018 (3% decline excluding divestitures^[1])
• International combined revenues declined 4% year-on-year (6% growth excluding divestitures)
• In North America, combined revenues declined 19% year-on-year (17% decline excluding divestitures)
• Full-year 2019 combined adjusted EBITDA^[2] of $567 million and associated margins of 11%
• Fourth-quarter 2019 combined revenues of $1.2 billion declined 5% sequentially
• Sequential declines in combined revenues of 5% internationally and 7% in North America
• Fourth-quarter 2019 combined adjusted EBITDA of $151 million and associated margins of 12%
• Net debt of $1.4 billion^[2] as of December 31, 2019 and no significant debt maturities until 2024

Mark A. McCollum, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to begin a new chapter for Weatherford, after completing a challenging journey that culminated with our financial restructuring. I would like to thank our stakeholders for their strong support over the past year, and, in particular, our employees for their hard work and dedication.

"Notably, we significantly reduced our debt levels and increased our liquidity position so that we are better positioned to execute against our strategic objectives going forward. Despite the successes achieved thus far in our operational improvement efforts, we are not satisfied with the current results. We are intently focused on continuing to improve our business and we believe meaningful opportunities remain longer term.

"The Company's results for the fourth quarter and the full year were impacted by the challenges our industry faced in 2019. Activity reductions in North America and the impact of the economic crisis in Argentina drove unfavorable sequential top- and bottom-line performance during the fourth quarter.

"Combined fourth-quarter revenues in North America declined by 6% sequentially^[1] and 24% year-on-year^[1] as customers' focus on financial returns and free cash flow generation resulted in budget exhaustion much earlier than we have seen previously. The impact was particularly negative for our business in Canada, where average rig counts declined 30% year-on-year.

"Our international revenues, which accounted for approximately 70% of total combined revenues in 2019, grew 6% year-on-year^[1] and were bolstered by 10% growth^[1] in the Middle East. As noted above, the economic crisis and associated activity reductions in Argentina negatively impacted our fourth-quarter results, where we experienced a steep decline in combined revenues.

"The Company's combined adjusted EBITDA margins expanded by 350 basis points sequentially during the second half of the year due to a combination of favorable business mix and ongoing cost savings efforts. The improvement in business mix during the second half of the year was concentrated in the Eastern Hemisphere, and was driven by capital sales in Europe, increased drilling and production activity in Russia, and increased sales of Artificial Lift and Completions products in the Middle East.

"Recent developments have created significant uncertainty on the industry's trajectory for 2020. The global impacts surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, including operational and manufacturing disruptions, logistical constraints and travel restrictions, are rapidly evolving and increasingly dynamic.

"Further, recent actions by certain members of OPEC and its partners have also disrupted the supply/demand equation, resulting in commodity price weakness and reductions to the capital spending plans of our customers. We were already taking a number of actions which were yielding improvements in our cost structure as we entered the year. However, given current market conditions, we are now implementing more aggressive actions to right-size our business, including further structural reductions in North America, adjustments to our manufacturing capacity, exiting unprofitable geographies, and lowering global support costs.

"Despite this challenging outlook, we are committed to improving our profitability and free cash flow in 2020. We are embedding a returns-focused mindset into our organization and this, alongside continued cost-reduction efforts and the non-recurrence of costs associated with our financial restructuring, will assist in achieving our profit and cash flow objectives."

Notes:
^[1] Excludes the impact of Land Drilling Rigs and the Surface Logging Systems and Labs divestitures completed in 2019.

^[2] Net debt calculated as total short- and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.  Net debt and adjusted EBITDA are a non-GAAP measure.  Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

Fourth-quarter combined Western Hemisphere revenues of $621 million decreased 8% sequentially and 20% year-on-year. Excluding the impact of divestitures^[1], combined revenues declined 8% sequentially and 17% year-on-year. In North America, fourth-quarter combined revenues of $357 million declined 7% sequentially, primarily within our Completions, Drilling and Evaluation and Well Construction businesses, as operators' focus on cash flow translated into lower rig counts and less spending in the United States, particularly in the land market. Fourth-quarter combined revenues of $264 million in Latin America declined 10% sequentially, driven primarily by the aforementioned activity reductions in Argentina associated with the economic crisis and the impact of divestitures, which were partially offset by additional offshore activity in Mexico and Brazil.

Fourth-quarter combined adjusted segment EBITDA of $63 million increased $4 million sequentially and associated margins of 10% increased by 140 basis points. Favorable product mix and reductions in field operating expenses drove the sequential growth, which were partially offset by activity reductions in Argentina.

Fourth-quarter combined Eastern Hemisphere revenues of $625 million decreased 2% sequentially and 4% year-on-year.  Excluding the impact of divestitures^[1], combined revenues declined 2% sequentially and grew 4% year-on-year. Fourth-quarter combined revenues in Middle East, North Africa and Asia of $386 million grew 2% sequentially, due to increased Completions and Production product sales. Fourth-quarter combined revenues in Europe, Sub Saharan Africa, and Russia of $239 million declined 9% sequentially, primarily due to product sales in Europe that did not repeat in the fourth quarter, as well as seasonal activity reductions in Russia.

Fourth-quarter combined adjusted segment EBITDA of $114 million declined $30 million sequentially and associated margins of 18% declined 430 basis points versus the third quarter of 2019. The sequential decline primarily resulted from the non-recurrence of product sales in Europe, unfavorable fall-through associated with seasonal activity reductions in the North Sea and Russia, and divestiture costs associated with our Land Rigs in the Middle East.

Customer & Technology Highlights

• Weatherford was awarded a $220-million contract with ADNOC to deliver directional drilling services with our Magnus^® rotary steerable system. We also received awards for fishing services and a five-year award for casing-handling and tubular running services. These contract wins are a testament to our focus on the critical Middle East region and the drilling services award leads us into the next phase of international growth for Magnus.
• Weatherford secured a $187-million contract extension to provide integrated services for shallow-water operations in Mexico. The operator extended the contract due to the superior performance and value Weatherford delivered through reductions in drilling times and other efficiencies.
• Weatherford signed its largest-ever contract for ultra-deepwater safety valves with Brazilian-based multinational corporation Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., more commonly known as Petrobras. Weatherford will deliver 24 Optimax™ deep-set safety valves in the next four years.
• Weatherford deployed the Vero™ conventional system to run a 300-connection completion for an operator in Oman. The system delivered a 25% overall improvement in operational efficiency, zero rejected joints, and reduced personnel on board the rig. This operation demonstrates how Weatherford is embedding digitization within its market-leading products and services to help customers achieve their goals of increasing safety, reliability, and cash flows.
• Weatherford introduced the Magnus^® 950 and Magnus^® 1100 rotary steerable solution to several international markets. These large-sized tools are fundamental to expanding our market share in large-diameter drilling in the Middle East as well as offshore markets, important markets for us going forward. For example, Weatherford recently deployed Magnus^® 1100 in Kuwait for deep drilling operations, where it completed a section with a record rate of penetration (ROP) and 12 hours faster than the previous record. In another operation, we recently deployed the Magnus^® 950 offshore in Mexico where we drilled a section 10 days faster than the previous best well in the field.
• In the U.S., the AlphaST^™ single-trip openhole cement and sidetrack system saved an operator 29 hours of rig time. After three unsuccessful attempts to sidetrack off a cement plug, the customer called Weatherford to deliver a whipstock system with single-trip openhole sidetrack capabilities to mitigate re-drilling the hole section and complete the well without further delays and incremental well costs.
• The Company saved a large Middle East operator 18 days of rig time by using managed pressure drilling (MPD) to achieve a high ROP while drilling in tight-gas reservoirs. Bolstered by multiple other MPD successes in the market, this achievement helps enable future growth in this essential market for us.
• Weatherford received multiple awards during the quarter, including three "Best of the Year" awards from World Oil for Best Completion Technology (TR1P™ single-trip completion system), Best Production Technology (Centrifugal Jet Pumps), and Best Digital Transformation Technology (ForeSite^® Edge), two Spotlight on New Technology^® awards from OTC Asia (Victus™ Intelligent MPD and Magnus^® Rotary Steerable System), and multiple Lantern awards including Best in Oil and Gas (Victus™ MPD) and numerous business marketing awards.

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford's management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios (as defined under the SEC's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K) may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods and comparisons with peer companies. The non-GAAP amounts shown in the following tables should not be considered as substitutes for operating income, provision for income taxes, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
