INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 22, 2019, registrant issued a press release entitled “Halliburton Announces Fourth Quarter 2018 Results."

The text of the Press Release is as follows:

HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2018 RESULTS
•
Reported income from continuing operations of $0.76 per diluted share
•
Adjusted income from continuing operations of $0.41 per diluted share, excluding a tax benefit related to a strategic change in the company’s corporate structure



HOUSTON - January 22, 2019 - Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) announced today income from continuing operations of $664 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018. This compares to income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2018 of $435 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2018, excluding a tax benefit related to a strategic change in the company’s corporate structure, was $358 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. Halliburton's total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $5.9 billion, a 4% decrease from revenue of $6.2 billion in the third quarter of 2018. Operating income was $608 million during the fourth quarter of 2018, a 15% decrease compared to operating income of $716 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Total revenue for the full year of 2018 was $24.0 billion, an increase of $3.4 billion, or 16%, from 2017. Reported operating income for 2018 was $2.5 billion, compared to a reported operating income of $1.4 billion for 2017. Excluding special items, adjusted operating income for 2018 was $2.7 billion, a 35% improvement from adjusted operating income of $2.0 billion for 2017.

“I am pleased with our overall financial results for the year and for the fourth quarter. Our team optimized our performance in North America as the market softened, and the recovery of our international business continued,” commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.

“The trajectory of this cycle has been far from smooth. As expected, in North America, the demand for completion services decreased during the fourth quarter, leading to lower pricing for hydraulic fracturing services.

“Our international business continues to show signs of a steady recovery, with revenue increasing 7% sequentially, underscoring the versatility and global reach of our business portfolio.

“As North American oil production reaches historic highs, operators focus on returns over growth, and the international recovery continues, Halliburton is well prepared to thrive. We


intend to dynamically respond to the changing market environment, reduce capital spending, develop differentiating technologies, and generate strong cash flow.

“Halliburton celebrates 100 years of service in 2019. As we enter our next century, we will remain focused on collaborating with our customers and engineering solutions to maximize their asset value, and on delivering strong cash flow and industry-leading returns for our shareholders,” concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $3.8 billion, a decrease of $338 million, or 8%, when compared to the third quarter of 2018, while operating income was $496 million, a sequential decrease of $117 million, or 19%. These declines were primarily driven by lower activity and pricing for stimulation services in North America, partially offset by stimulation activity increases in Argentina and year-end completion tool sales internationally.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $2.1 billion, an increase of $102 million, or 5%, when compared to the third quarter of 2018, while operating income was $185 million, a sequential increase of $4 million, or 2%. These increases were primarily due to year-end software sales, increased fluids activity in the Gulf of Mexico, and improved project management activity in Latin America. These improvements were partially offset by reduced drilling activity in the Western Hemisphere.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $3.3 billion, an 11% decrease sequentially. This decrease was primarily driven by lower activity and pricing in stimulation services, partially offset by higher fluids activity in the Gulf of Mexico.

International

International revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $2.6 billion, a 7% increase sequentially, resulting primarily from increased year-end product and software sales in Middle East/Asia and Latin America, partially offset by a seasonal decline in pipeline services in Europe/Africa/CIS.

Latin America revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $607 million, a 16% increase sequentially, resulting primarily from year-end software and completion tool sales and higher stimulation activity across the region, coupled with improved activity across multiple product service lines in Mexico.

Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $746 million, relatively flat sequentially, primarily driven by a seasonal decline in pipeline services across the region,


coupled with decreased activity across multiple product service lines in the North Sea. These results were partially offset by year-end completion tool sales in Ghana and Nigeria.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $1.2 billion, an 8% increase sequentially, largely resulting from year-end completion tool sales in the Middle East, coupled with higher project management activity throughout the region.

Corporate and Other Events

During the fourth quarter of 2018, Halliburton recognized the impact of a strategic change in the company’s corporate structure, which resulted in a net tax benefit of $306 million, or $0.35 per diluted share.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, Halliburton repurchased $200 million of common stock.


Selective Technology & Highlights

•
Halliburton won three World Oil Awards in 2018. Its Voice of the Oilfield™ solution won the "Best Digital Transformation Award," while its BaraOmni™ Hybrid Separation System and Global Rapid Intervention Package (GRIP™) won "Best Health, Safety, Environment/Sustainable Development Award" for both the onshore and offshore categories, respectively. In addition, Halliburton was a finalist in five other award categories.

•

Management believes that operating income adjusted for impairments and other charges for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes operating income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustments remove the effect of these items. Adjusted operating income is calculated as: “As reported operating income” plus "Impairments and other charges" for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. There were no such charges for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

(a)
During the fourth quarter of 2018, Halliburton recognized a $306 million tax benefit related to a strategic change in Halliburton's corporate structure. During the fourth quarter of 2017, Halliburton recognized an aggregate $882 million of discrete tax charges primarily related to tax reform as well as other discrete tax items. Also included in the year ended December 31, 2018 is $47 million of accrued taxes in Venezuela for the charge taken during the first quarter of 2018. Also included is the tax effect of the total adjustments during the respective periods.
(b)
Management believes that income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for impairments and other charges and costs related to early extinguishment of debt, including the related tax effects and other tax adjustments, is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes income (loss) from continuing operations without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business and to establish operational goals. Total adjustments remove the effect of these items. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to company is calculated as: “As reported income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to company” plus "Total adjustments, net of taxes" for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
(c)
As reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2017 excludes options to purchase one million and two million shares of common stock, respectively, as their impact would be antidilutive because Halliburton's reported income from continuing operations attributable to company was in a loss position during the period. When adjusting income from continuing operations attributable to company in the period for the adjustments discussed above, these shares become dilutive.
(d)
As reported income (loss) from continuing operations per diluted share is calculated as: "As reported income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to company" divided by "As reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding." Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share is calculated as: "Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to company" divided by "Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding."
