================================================================================
Second Quarter 2013 Results
On a GAAP basis, segment operating income was $385 million with a second quarter
net loss of $118 million, or a loss of $0.15 per diluted share. The excluded
after-tax losses included:
- $153 million representing management's best estimate of a potential
settlement with the U.S. government related to the FCPA and oil-for-food
matters, although no agreement has been reached and uncertainties
remain;
- $38 million in severance, exit and other charges;
- $31 million associated with legacy lump sum contracts in Iraq; and
- $12 million related to U.S. government investigations and tax related
professional fees.
The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the quarter was 12%.
Outlook
The Company expects the second half of 2013 to show higher revenue and operating
income in North America compared to the first half of this year with the U.S.
also benefiting from a lower operating cost structure. Latin America will show
improvement in both revenue and profitability in the fourth quarter of 2013. The
outlook for the Eastern Hemisphere remains positive with continued expansion in
Europe, Caspian and Russia along with continued recovery in the Middle
East/North Africa and Asia Pacific region. Increased operating performance in
the second half of the year, as well as further cost reductions and improvements
in capital efficiency measures, all suggest a positive outlook. The Company
expects its 2013 annual effective tax rate to be in the range of 27% to 29%.
Regional Highlights
- North America
North America revenues for the quarter were $1,529 million, an 8% decrease
over the same quarter in the prior year and down 10% sequentially. The
quarter's operating income was $167 million, down $59 million, or 26% from
the same quarter in the prior year and down 25% sequentially. The
sequential decline was largely due to the seasonal effect of the "spring
breakup" in Canada impacting revenues and margins in all product lines,
and was partially offset by increased U.S. Artificial Lift and Well
Construction activity. U.S. year-over-year performance declined, driven
primarily by lower Stimulation profitability.
- Middle East/North Africa/Asia Pacific
Second quarter revenues of $919 million were up $270 million, or 42%
higher than the second quarter of 2012, and $134 million, or 17% higher
sequentially. The current quarter's operating income of $66 million
increased $42 million, or 175% from the same quarter in the prior year,
and increased 47% sequentially due to an increase in our Drilling
Services, Well Construction and Artificial Lift product lines. The Asia
Pacific region generated the highest revenue and operating income in our
history.
- Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia
Second quarter revenues of $681 million were 4% higher than the second
quarter of 2012 and up 8% from the prior quarter. The current quarter's
operating income of $83 million was down 19% when compared to the same
quarter in the prior year, and was up $18 million, or 28% from the prior
quarter. The year-over-year operating income decline resulted from reduced
margins in Russia driven by lower activity levels and the change in
product mix. Sequentially, operating income was up due to increased
activity in Well Construction for Europe.
- Latin America
Second quarter revenues of $739 million were down $43 million or 6%
compared to the second quarter of 2012, and up $12 million, or 2%
sequentially. The decline in revenue in the second quarter compared to the
prior year was largely related to lower activity in Mexico. The current
quarter's operating income of $90 million was flat compared to the same
quarter in the prior year, and decreased 8% from the prior quarter.
Liquidity and Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow increased by over $200 million compared to the prior quarter. The
improvement in cash flow was driven entirely by working capital improvements.
Driving the change in working capital, days sales outstanding decreased to 89
days, and days sales in inventory decreased to 85 days.
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Unless explicitly stated to the contrary, all performance measures used
throughout this document are non-GAAP. Corresponding reconciliations to GAAP

significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties. These include the company's
inability to design or improve internal controls to address identified issues;

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

"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.
