HOUSTON, July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ: WFRD) (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) announced today its results for the second quarter of 2024.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were $1,405 million, an increase of 3.5% sequentially and an increase of 10% year-over-year. Operating income was $264 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $233 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $201 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was $125 million, an 8.9% margin, an increase of 12% or 65 basis points sequentially, and an increase of 52% or 246 basis points year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA* was $365 million, a 26.0% margin, an increase of 9% or 124 basis points sequentially, and an increase of 25% or 314 basis points year-over-year. Diluted income per share was $1.66 compared to $1.50 in the first quarter of 2024 and $1.12 in the second quarter of 2023.
Second quarter 2024 cash flows provided by operating activities were $150 million, compared to $131 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $201 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted free cash flow* was $96 million, an increase of $14 million sequentially and a decrease of $76 million year-over-year. Capital expenditures were $62 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $59 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $36 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The One Weatherford team once again delivered excellent results on margins and adjusted free cash flow. Beyond the usual seasonal effects, we faced some revenue headwinds driven by weather events, social unrest leading to reduced activity in Colombia, and timing shifts in activity in some regions. However, the strong margin performance demonstrates the operating intensity, portfolio differentiation and continued growth runway that we have in place. The second half of the year is poised to deliver mid-single digits sequential revenue growth over the first half, with total year adjusted EBITDA margins expected to be slightly north of 25%. Second half adjusted free cash flow is expected to be materially higher than the first, reaffirming our expectation of adjusted free cash flow of over $500 million for the year. These expectations are reflective of the continued strength in international and offshore activity, spearheaded by the Middle East/North Africa/Asia region, which demonstrated 9% sequential and 29% year-over-year growth in the second quarter.
Based on the Company’s operating performance over the past few years and with the confidence we have in our future, I am pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has approved the first-ever shareholder return program in Weatherford’s history. This is another significant milestone in our journey of creating shareholder value and comprises an annual dividend of $1.00 per share and a $500 million share buyback authorization program over three years. Our Board of Directors has declared our first quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on September 12, 2024, to shareholders of record on August 13, 2024. Few would have predicted this scenario just a couple of years ago, but it is a testament to the dedication, commitment and passion of our 19,000 people across 75 countries and my utmost gratitude goes out to them for their relentless focus and execution.”

Technology Highlights
- Drilling & Evaluation (“DRE”)
- We deployed our Victus™ Intelligent Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) solution for offshore Saudi Aramco. The system provided precise dynamic testing, enabling faster drilling speeds and reducing drilling fluid losses.
- In Kuwait, we deployed the Victus™ Intelligent MPD system to drill a well and cement a liner for KOC’s deepest well drilled in that field with complex reservoir conditions, where conventional methods would not have been feasible.
- Well Construction and Completions (“WCC”)
- We successfully deployed our enhanced Expandable Sand Screen (ESS) for a major operator in Sub-Sahara Africa. The enhanced ESS enables deployment, expansion, and tool retrieval in a single trip, eliminating the need for intermediate completion and saving cost by reducing the time and complexity of completion programs.
- We completed installation of our first ForeSite® Sense Fiber Optic monitoring system in a gas storage well for a major operator in the Middle East. The application will help ensure wellbore integrity, monitor for potential gas migration, and leak paths.
- Production and Intervention (“PRI”)
- An operator in the US awarded Weatherford a one-year contract for pumping units that included the supply of our Permanent Magnetic Motor (PMM) technology, which helps reduce energy costs and carbon footprint by utilizing more efficient electric motors.
- We launched ForeSite® EDGE 2.0, our next-generation scalable IoT-enabled automation solution enhancing customers’ advanced autonomous production optimization in real time. This innovation harnesses high-frequency data processing and modeling at the well site to deliver autonomous production optimization in real-time, thereby enhancing well production, reducing total cost of ownership, and minimizing environmental impact and safety risks.
Shareholder Return
On July 23, 2024, 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. Our Board also 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.
Our Board also approved a $500 million share repurchase program to be executed over the next three years. The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares, market and economic conditions, applicable contractual, legal, regulatory or other requirements and other business considerations.

| Weatherford International plc |
| Non-GAAP Financial Measures Defined (Unaudited) |
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 results reported in accordance with GAAP but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA* – Adjusted EBITDA* is a non-GAAP measure and represents consolidated income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and excludes, among other items, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, as well as other charges and credits. Management believes adjusted EBITDA* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA margin* – Adjusted EBITDA margin* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by dividing consolidated adjusted EBITDA* by consolidated revenues. Management believes adjusted EBITDA margin* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA margin* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income margin and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow* – Adjusted Free Cash Flow* is a non-GAAP measure and represents cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes adjusted free cash flow* is useful to understand our performance at generating cash and demonstrates our discipline around the use of cash. Adjusted free cash flow* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for cash flows provided by operating activities and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Net Debt* – Net Debt* is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated taking short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Management believes the net debt* is useful to assess the level of debt in excess of cash and cash and equivalents as we monitor our ability to repay and service our debt. Net debt* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for overall debt and total cash, and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Net Leverage* – Net Leverage* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by dividing by taking net debt* divided by adjusted EBITDA* for the trailing 12 months. Management believes the net leverage* is useful to understand our ability to repay and service our debt. Net leverage* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for the individual components of above defined net debt* divided by consolidated net income attributable to Weatherford, and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
