GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. 27, 2013 -- Weatherford International Ltd. (NYSE and

Weatherford reported a loss for the quarter of $122 million or $0.16 per share.
After excluding losses, net of tax, of $130 million or $0.17 per share earnings
were $8 million or $0.01 per share. The excluded items include: 

-- $43 million in professional fees associated with our accounting for income
tax remediation efforts, 
-- $64 million associated with legacy lump sum contracts in Iraq consisting of
operating losses $30 million and tax receivable write offs $34 million and 
-- $23 million in severance, exit and other charges.

The Non-GAAP effective tax rate for the quarter was 92%.

Fourth quarter revenues of $4,058 million were up six percent sequentially from
our third quarter revenues of $3,819 million. Fourth quarter revenues also
increased nine percent from the same quarter of 2011. 

North America revenue of $1,682 million was down two percent sequentially, in
line with the sequential decline in the North America rig count, and down one
percent versus the same quarter of 2011. Stimulation & Chemicals contributed to
the sequential declines. 

International revenues of $2,376 million were up 13 percent sequentially and up
18 percent versus the same quarter of 2011. Integrated Drilling, Formation
Evaluation and Well Construction led the sequential growth with strong
performance from Drilling Services and Drilling Tools. Completion Systems also
posted strong sequential growth. 

Segment operating income was $438 million on a GAAP basis. Adjusted for excluded
items segment operating income of $468 million was down ten percent sequentially
and down 23 percent from the same quarter of 2011. On an adjusted basis,
corporate expenses, and research and development were essentially flat
sequentially. 

For 2013, the company maintains a neutral outlook for its North American
business and expects modest revenue and operating income growth.
Internationally, the company anticipates continued growth and expanding margins
in its Latin America region, underpinned by improvements in Mexico and
Argentina. The Eastern Hemisphere also is expected to improve in 2013, with
increases in Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Russia, as well as continued
recovery in the Middle East/North Africa/Asia Pacific region. For 2013, the
company currently estimates an annual effective tax rate of approximately 34
percent.

================================================================================
North America 
Revenues for the quarter were $1,682 million, a one percent decrease over the
same quarter in the prior year and down $43 million or two percent sequentially.
This was the result of the continued decline in U.S. land rig count and
continued oversupply of hydraulic fracturing capacity. 

The quarter's operating income was $226 million, down $155 million or 41% from
the same quarter in the prior year and down $71 million, or 24 percent,
sequentially. 

Middle East/North Africa/Asia Pacific 
Fourth quarter revenues of $851 million were 26 percent higher than the fourth
quarter of 2012 and $151 million or 22 percent higher sequentially. The
sequential and year-over-year increase in revenues was fairly broad-based and
attributable to additional activity in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman. 

The current quarter's operating income of $58 million increased $24 million from
the same quarter in the prior year and increased $22 million sequentially. 

Europe/SSA/Russia 
Fourth quarter revenues of $669 million were ten percent higher than the fourth
quarter of 2011 and seven percent higher than the prior quarter. The revenue
growth, year-over-year, came primarily from Russia and in Europe from Romania
and Norway. 

The current quarter's operating income of $59 million was down $21 million or 26
percent compared to the same quarter in the prior year and down $29 million or
33 percent from the prior quarter. The current quarter was primarily impacted by
a lower level of operating activity in Azerbaijan, SSA and the UK.

Latin America 
Third quarter revenues of $856 million were $88 million or 11 percent higher
than the third quarter of 2012 and up 18 percent compared to the fourth quarter
of 2011. The current quarter's operating income of $125 million increased ten
percent compared to the same quarter in the prior year and increased 29 percent
from the prior quarter. Mexico and Argentina were the primary drivers of the
sequential increase in revenue and operating income.

Liquidity and Net Debt 
Net debt for the quarter decreased $207 million sequentially, primarily as a
result of a decrease in working capital of $111 million. Days sales outstanding
decreased to 86 days and days sales in inventory decreased to 81 days. Along
with the improvements in working capital, our capital expenditures of
approximately $478 million, net of lost-in-hole, were down from $540 million
sequentially. 

Internal Control Matters 
With the filing of its Form 10-K, the company expects to report that the
previously reported material weakness in internal controls over financial
reporting related to the accounting for a percentage of completion contract in
Iraq has been remediated as of December 31, 2012. 

The company expects to report with the filing of its Form 10-K that it has not
completed the remediation of the previously reported material weakness in
internal controls over financial reporting related to income tax. In light of
this material weakness we performed additional procedures designed to ensure
that our consolidated financial statements are materially correct.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures 
Non-GAAP performance measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP
financial measures have been provided to offer meaningful comparisons between
current results and results in prior operating periods. 

Conference Call 
The company will host a conference call with financial analysts to discuss the
quarterly results on February 27, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. eastern standard time, 7:30
a.m. central standard time. The company invites investors to listen to the call
live via company's website, www.weatherford.com in the Investor Relations
section. A recording of the conference call and transcript of the call will be
available on that section of the website shortly after the call ends.

Forward-Looking Statements 
This press release and the documents referenced herein contain, and the
conference call announced in this release may include, forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. This includes statements related to future levels of earnings, revenue,
expenses, margins, capital expenditures, changes in working capital, cash flows,

the oilfield service business generally and our business in particular, as well
as statements regarding timing or content of the financial information that will
be filed with the SEC regarding the current period. Forward-looking statements
also include any statements about the resolution or potential future resolution
of our ongoing remediation of our material weaknesses in internal control over
financial reporting for income taxes and for percentage of completion accounting
and our assessment of the degree to which historical remediation efforts have
been successful to date. It is inherently difficult to make projections or other
forward-looking statements in a cyclical industry and given the current
macroeconomic uncertainty. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs of
Weatherford's management, and are subject to significant risks, assumptions and
uncertainties. These include the company's ability to complete all processes
necessary to the issuance of revised financial statements, including obtaining
an audit opinion from its independent auditors, the company's inability to
design or improve internal controls to address identified issues; the impact
upon operations of legal compliance matters or internal controls review,
improvement and remediation, including the detection of wrongdoing, improper
activities or circumvention of internal controls; difficulties in controlling
expenses, including costs of legal compliance matters or internal controls
review, improvement and remediation; impact of changes in management or staff
levels, the effect of global political, economic and market conditions on the
company's projected results; the possibility that the company may be unable to
recognize expected revenues from current and future contracts; the effect of
currency fluctuations on the company's business; the company's ability to manage
its workforce to control costs; the cost and availability of raw materials, the
company's ability to manage its supply chain and business processes; the
company's ability to commercialize new technology; whether the company can
realize expected benefits from its redomestication of its former Bermuda parent
company; the company's ability to realize expected benefits from its
acquisitions and dispositions; the effect of a downturn in its industry on the
company's carrying value of its goodwill; the effect of weather conditions on
the company's operations; the impact of oil and natural gas prices and worldwide
economic conditions on drilling activity; the effect of turmoil in the credit
markets on the company's ability to manage risk with interest rate and foreign
exchange swaps; the outcome of pending government investigations, including the
Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the company's material weakness in its internal control over
financial reporting of income taxes; the outcome of ongoing litigation,
including shareholder litigation related to the company's material weakness in
its internal control over financial reporting of income taxes and its
restatement of historical financial statements; the future level of crude oil
and natural gas prices; demand for our products and services; levels of pricing
for our products and services; utilization rates of our equipment; the
effectiveness of our supply chain; weather-related disruptions and other
operational and non-operational risks that are detailed in our most recent Form
10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
indicated in our forward-looking statements. Specifically, statements regarding
the current period assume that there will be no subsequent events or other
adverse developments after the date of this press release that cause our
financial statements for the current period, when filed with the SEC, to vary
materially from the amounts herein. We undertake no obligation to correct or
update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required under federal
securities laws.

We report our financial results in accordance with 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)
may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful
comparisons between current results and results in prior periods.   The non-GAAP
financial measures we may present from time to time include: 1) operating income
or income from continuing operations excluding certain charges or amounts, 2)
the provision for income taxes excluding discrete items and 3) the resulting
non-GAAP net income and per share amounts.  These adjusted amounts are not
measures of financial performance under GAAP.  Accordingly, these amounts should
not be considered as a substitute for operating income, provision for income
taxes, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. 
See the table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding
reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended December
31, 2012, September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011 and for the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in
addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company's reported results
prepared in accordance with GAAP.

"Net Debt" is debt less cash.  Management believes that Net Debt provides useful
information regarding the level of Weatherford indebtedness by reflecting cash
that could be used to repay debt.

Working capital is defined as accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts
payable.
