HOUSTON, Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ: WFRD) (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) announced today its results for the third quarter of 2022.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $1,120 million, an increase of 5% sequentially and 19% year-over-year. Operating income was $121 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $104 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $71 million in the third quarter of 2021. The Company’s third quarter of 2022 net income was $28 million, compared to $6 million in the second quarter of 2022 and a net loss of $95 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Third quarter 2022 cash flows provided by operations were $160 million, compared to $60 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $114 million in the third quarter of 2021. Capital expenditures were $39 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $24 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $20 million in the third quarter of 2021.

  • Adjusted EBITDA[1] was $214 million, an increase of 15% sequentially and 20% year-over-year  
  • Free cash flow[1] was $133 million, an increase of $74 million sequentially and $22 million year-over-year

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the third quarter, we continued to outperform on our two key metrics of margin expansion and free cash flow generation. We showed strong sequential revenue growth, with solid margin fall-through, as our market-leading offerings continue to deliver value in the marketplace. Our adjusted EBITDA margins of 19.1% and free cash flow of $133 million clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our refreshed operating paradigm and reaffirm that our strategy to sustainably expand margins over the cycle while generating positive free cash flow is delivering the intended results.

I am proud of and encouraged by our progress in strengthening our Company and balance sheet. The successful amendment of the credit facility and our ability to pay down debt meaningfully underscores the substantial improvements we have made and allows us greater flexibility to drive growth and scale into our business.

As we look forward, we now expect full-year 2022 revenue to grow by high-teens year-over-year and for EBITDA margins to expand by over 200 basis points year-over-year, driven by solid execution, increased market activity, and dedicated customer focus. The overall macro-environment for the sector continues to be supported by strong fundamentals, despite inflationary and geopolitical headwinds. Our ability to carry our momentum forward is evidenced by the recently announced contract awards for Aramco and PDO. As we close out the year, we will continue to capitalize on the opportunities enabled by our broad portfolio, leading-edge specialty services, the transformation of our operating paradigm, and strong customer relationships.”

Notes:
[1] EBITDA represents income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes, among other items, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, as well as other charges and credits. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.


Commercial and Operational Highlights

  • Weatherford received a five-year framework agreement from ADNOC to provide directional drilling and logging-while-drilling services. Deploying these services and technology offerings will add value to ADNOC's drilling operations by minimizing OPEX, reducing risks, and optimizing production.
  • A major IOC in the Middle East awarded Weatherford a five-year contract to provide wireline services. Weatherford was a clear choice for this operator because of its field-proven technology, high service quality, and experienced personnel. The Weatherford portfolio of wireline technology is comprehensive in providing information that guides operators' life-of-field decisions and maximizes the recovery of their reserves.
  • Weatherford received a two-year contract this quarter to continue delivering drilling fluids and the associated services in unconventional wells to YPF in Argentina. We attribute this success to our proven track record in the region, with more than 250 wells delivered and providing high-quality offerings and services focused on health, safety, and the environment.
  • Pertamina awarded Weatherford a five-year contract to deliver intervention, through-tubing, and tubular running services. This win comes on the back of strong performance as the incumbent provider of similar services, showcasing our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
  • Weatherford received an award from Kuwait Oil Company to deliver upper-completion services and technology for 300 development wells across several fields. Our completion offerings stood out because of their field-proven reliability and strong in-country footprint.
  • Weatherford received an award from Fri-EL Green Power in Europe to provide drilling, well construction, and formation evaluation in its San Giovanni geothermal project. The energy produced in this operation will heat regional hydroponic greenhouses—without emissions. This award showcases how we apply our traditional and new technologies to renewable energy applications.
  • Weatherford executed a memorandum of understanding with Criterion Energy Partners, a geothermal technology and energy development company that delivers clean, reliable energy to customers in hard-to-abate sectors. As part of the agreement, Weatherford intends to serve as an active member of the Geothermal Industry Advisory Group, which is focused on addressing global energy demand with clean, renewable energy. Weatherford is uniquely positioned to lend our expertise and engineering support to advance geothermal projects and applications, enabling sustainable energy projects that are synergistic to our core business.

Liquidity

We closed the third quarter of 2022 with total cash of approximately $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2022, up $53 million sequentially. Net cash provided by operating activities of $160 million improved $100 million and free cash flow of $133 million improved $74 million, sequentially. These improvements were driven mainly by higher adjusted EBITDA margins, as well as improved receivables and inventory efficiency, and lower cash interest.

We redeemed $50 million of our 11% senior unsecured notes on August 10, 2022. As we continue to improve our debt profile, on October 18, 2022, we issued a notice to redeem an additional $125 million on November 17, 2022. Additionally, we amended our senior secured letter of credit agreement by increasing the aggregate amount available from $215 million to $370 million and extending maturity to October 17, 2026 subject to certain conditions.

[3] Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes free cash flow is useful to understand liquidity and should be considered in addition to but not substitute cash flows provided by operating activities.


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 (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.

[2]  Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes free cash flow is useful to understand liquidity and should be considered in addition to but not substitute cash flows provided by operating activities.
