Insights

Financial Analyst

Halliburton's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. Revenue declined 1.7% sequentially to $5.7 billion, while net income dropped 19.5% to $571 million. The adjusted EPS of $0.73 reflects operational challenges, including a $0.02 impact from cybersecurity issues and Gulf storms.

Key metrics reveal pressure points: operating margin contracted to 15% from 17.2% in Q2, while North American revenue declined 4%. The $200 million stock buyback and $0.17 dividend demonstrate continued commitment to shareholder returns, though the $116 million pre-tax charge for various items impacts profitability.

The Petrobras contract win and technological innovations like TrueSync and Octiv Auto Frac service provide future growth catalysts, but near-term headwinds persist in core markets.

Energy Industry Analyst

The regional performance breakdown reveals important shifts in Halliburton's market dynamics. While Middle East/Asia showed resilience with 3% growth, concerning declines in North America (-4%), Latin America (-4%) and Europe/Africa (-5%) suggest broader market challenges.

The Completion and Production segment's 3% revenue decline indicates pricing pressure in U.S. land operations. However, the stable performance in Drilling and Evaluation, coupled with strategic investments in digital technologies and automation, positions the company well for the evolving energy landscape.

The expansion of the Clear portfolio and focus on innovative solutions like the Sensori fracture monitoring service demonstrate adaptation to industry demands for more efficient and sustainable operations.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today net income of $571 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. This compares to net income for the second quarter of 2024 of $709 million, or $0.80 per diluted share. Adjusted net income³ in the third quarter of 2024, excluding impairments and other charges and tax adjustments, was $641 million, or $0.73 per diluted share. Halliburton’s total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.7 billion, compared to total revenue of $5.8 billion in the second quarter of 2024. Operating income was $871 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to operating income of $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating income⁴, excluding impairments and other charges, was $987 million in the third quarter of 2024.

“We experienced a $0.02 per share impact to our adjusted earnings from lost or delayed revenue due to the August cybersecurity event and storms in the Gulf of Mexico. Our full year expectations for free cash flow and cash return to shareholders remain unchanged, and we expect both to accelerate in the fourth quarter,” commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.

“In North America the execution of our strategy has transformed the resilience and profitability of our business. I expect we will continue to maximize value by widening the moat around our Zeus platform and growing our drilling services business.

“I am confident in our international business. I believe the strength of our technology portfolio, unique value proposition, and clear strategy will continue to deliver growth and returns.

“I see solid opportunities across business lines and geographies for Halliburton. As we execute on our strategy, we will target opportunities to deliver unique value, allocate capital to the highest return opportunities, and prioritize free cash flow generation and shareholder returns,” concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $3.3 billion, a decrease of $102 million, or 3% sequentially, while operating income was $669 million, a decrease of $54 million, or 7%. These results were driven by decreased pressure pumping services in U.S. land, lower completion tool sales in North America and Europe/Africa, and lower stimulation activity in Latin America. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased pressure pumping services and higher completion tool sales in the Middle East.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.4 billion, while operating income was $406 million, both flat sequentially. These results were driven by increased drilling-related services in Latin America, higher software sales globally, and improved wireline activity in Middle East/Asia. Offsetting these increases were decreased drilling-related services in Europe, lower fluid services in North America, declined wireline activity in the Western Hemisphere, and decreased testing services in Latin America.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.4 billion, a 4% decrease sequentially. This decline was primarily driven by decreased pressure pumping services in U.S. land, in addition to lower activity across multiple product service lines in the Gulf of Mexico partly due to the impacts from Hurricane Francine and Hurricane Helene. Partially offsetting these declines were higher artificial lift activity in U.S. land along with increased stimulation activity in Canada and the Gulf of Mexico.

International

International revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $3.3 billion, sequentially flat.

Latin America revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $1.1 billion, a decrease of 4% sequentially. This decrease was primarily due to lower stimulation activity in the region, decreased testing services in Mexico and the Caribbean, and lower wireline activity in Argentina. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased drilling-related services in Mexico and Brazil and improved project management activity in Ecuador.

Europe/Africa revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $722 million, a decrease of 5% sequentially. This decline was primarily due to decreased drilling-related services in the North Sea and lower completion tool sales in West Africa. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher cementing activity and increased pipeline services in the North Sea.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $1.5 billion, an increase of 3% sequentially. This increase was primarily due to increased pressure pumping services in Saudi Arabia, higher completion tool sales in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, improved fluid services in the Middle East, and higher wireline activity in Asia. Partially offsetting these improvements were declined drilling services in Saudi Arabia and lower project management activity in Kuwait.

Other Financial Items

During the third quarter of 2024, Halliburton:

• Repurchased approximately $200 million of its common stock.
• Paid dividends of $0.17 per share.
• Spent $28 million on SAP S4 migration.
• Recorded a pre-tax charge of $116 million in the third quarter of 2024 as a result of severance costs, an impairment of assets held for sale, expenses related to a cybersecurity incident, a gain on an equity investment, and other items. This charge was included in “Impairments and other charges” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
• Recognized a $154 million tax provision, which includes a $41 million tax benefit associated with a partial release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets based on market conditions.

(c)		Adjusted net income attributable to company is a non-GAAP financial measure which is calculated as: “Net income attributable to company” plus “Total adjustments, net of taxes” for the respective periods. Management believes net income adjusted for the impairments and other charges, along with the tax adjustment, 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 net income 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.
(d)		Net income per diluted share is calculated as: “Net income attributable to company” divided by “Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.” Adjusted net income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure which is calculated as: “Adjusted net income attributable to company” divided by “Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.” Management believes adjusted net income per diluted share is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance.
