Second quarter diluted earnings per share reflect an increase of $0.09 over the
second quarter of 2010 diluted earnings per share of $0.08, before charges.
Sequentially, the company's second quarter diluted earnings per share, before
charges, were $0.07 higher than the first quarter of 2011. International
markets drove the entire sequential improvement in both revenue and
profitability.
Second quarter revenues of $3,052 million were the highest in the company's
history, despite the severe negative impact of Canada's spring break-up.
Revenues were 25 percent higher than the same period last year and seven
percent higher than the prior quarter. International revenues were up 14
percent sequentially and up 12 percent versus the year ago quarter. North
America revenue was down one percent sequentially and up 46 percent versus the
second quarter of 2010. The sequential decline in North America was due to the
severe impact of the Canadian break-up. The Canadian results overshadowed a
very strong performance in the U.S., where sequential revenue growth outpaced
rig count by more than two-to-one and operating margins expanded.
Segment operating income of $421 million improved 36 percent year-over-year and
19 percent sequentially. The company's international operations provided all
of the sequential growth compared to the first quarter of 2011 and delivered 51
percent incremental margins. International operating income was down three
percent compared to the year ago quarter.
The company expects earnings per share before excluded items of approximately
$0.24 to $0.26 in the third quarter of 2011, supported by a seasonal recovery
in Canada and steady improvement in the U.S. and international markets. For
full-year 2011, the company anticipates that revenue growth will be
approximately 25 percent, which is higher than the 20 percent growth rate
estimated last quarter. In addition, the company expects international margins
in the fourth quarter of 2011 to be meaningfully higher than full-year 2010
margins of 11 percent.
North America
Revenues for the quarter were $1,344 million, which is a 46 percent increase
over the same quarter in the prior year and down one percent sequentially. The
Stimulation and Chemicals, Artificial Lift and Well Construction product lines
contributed strong results for the quarter.
The current quarter's operating income was $244 million, up $117 million from
the second quarter of 2010 and was down $40 million, or 14 percent, compared to
the prior quarter. On a sequential basis, strong growth and steadily expanding
margins in the U.S. were offset by the impact of the Canadian break-up.
Middle East/North Africa/Asia
Second quarter revenues of $617 million were two percent higher than the second
quarter of 2010 and seven percent higher than the prior quarter. Weather
improvements in China and Australia and a stronger Iraq helped offset the
impact of a full quarter of reduced activity due to political unrest in the
Middle East and North Africa. Libya operating expenses cost almost $0.01 per
share. The Well Construction, Integrated Drilling and Artificial Lift product
lines posted strong sequential performances.
The current quarter's operating income of $34 million decreased 54 percent as
compared to the same quarter in the prior year and increased $23 million
compared to the first quarter of 2011.
Europe/West Africa/FSU
Second quarter revenues of $592 million were 17 percent higher than the second
quarter of 2010 and 16 percent higher than the prior quarter. The region had
strong performances in the North Sea, Russia and Caspian as the winter
seasonality abated. The Completion, Stimulation and Chemicals, Drilling
Services and Integrated Drilling product lines had the strongest sequential
growth.
The current quarter's operating income of $93 million was up 37 percent
compared to the same quarter in the prior year and up $55 million compared to
the prior quarter.
Latin America
Second quarter revenues of $498 million were 21 percent higher than both the
second quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. Argentina, Colombia and
Venezuela posted strong sequential performances. The Drilling Services,
Stimulation and Chemicals and Artificial Lift product lines benefited from
improved demand.
The current quarter's operating income of $51 million increased 22 percent as
compared to the same quarter in the prior year and increased $30 million
compared to the prior quarter.
Liquidity and Net Debt
Net debt for the quarter increased $144 million, with working capital
increasing $193 million during the quarter. Recently, the company successfully
renegotiated its unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the size of
the facility from $1.75 billion to $2.25 billion and extend the scheduled
maturity to July 16, 2016.
Reclassifications and Non-GAAP
Non-GAAP performance measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP
financial measures have been provided for meaningful comparisons between
current results and results in prior operating periods.
Conference Call

2011 second quarter results on July 26, 2011 at 7:00 a.m. (CDT). The company
invites investors to listen to a play back of the conference call and to access

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford's management
believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios may
provide users of this financial information additional meaningful
comparisons between current results and results in prior operating
periods. One such non-GAAP financial measure we may present from
time to time is operating income or income from continuing
operations excluding certain charges or amounts. This adjusted
income amount is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for
operating income, net income or other income data prepared in
accordance with GAAP. See the table below for supplemental
financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial
measures for the three months ended June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011,
and June 30, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and
June 30, 2010. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in
addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported
results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
