HOUSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Weatherford International plc ("Weatherford" or the "Company") announced today its results for the second quarter of 2020.

On a GAAP basis, revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $821 million, a decline of 32% sequentially and 37% year-on-year. Reported operating loss was $497 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to an operating loss of $822 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $118 million in the second quarter of 2019. The Company's second-quarter 2020 net loss was $581 million, compared to a net loss of $966 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $316 million in the second quarter of 2019. Second-quarter 2020 cash flows from operations were $31 million and capital expenditures were $35 million. Available liquidity of $771 million as of June 30, 2020 was comprised of $680 million of cash and cash equivalents and $91 million of availability under the Company's senior secured asset-based lending agreement (the "ABL Credit Agreement").

On a non-GAAP basis:

    --  Adjusted EBITDA ([1][2]) of $79 million declined 56% sequentially and
        39% year-on-year and associated margins of 10% decreased 503 basis
        points sequentially and were flat year-on-year
    --  Unlevered free cash flow of $108 million ([1]) during the quarter
        improved $108 million sequentially and $306 million year-on-year

Karl Blanchard, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "Disruptions to the global supply and demand of commodities and the resulting decline in prices, combined with COVID-related restrictions, led to unprecedented reductions in customer spending in the quarter. This had a material impact on the industry, with significant declines in activity in North America and internationally. As such, we aggressively expanded our cost reduction actions, and bolstered our financial strength, preserving our margins and enhancing our liquidity position.

"We are pleased to announce a new $500 million financing commitment which, subject to closing conditions, will strengthen the Company's liquidity as it continues to support customers during this challenging environment.

"Global oil demand is in the early stages of what will likely be an uneven path to recovery, and we expect the market environment to remain challenging over the near-term. Over the medium- to long-term, the backlog of crude inventory, continued uncertainty associated with COVID-19 outbreaks and the resulting changes to global oil consumption patterns are expected to serve as headwinds for commodity prices, yielding a protracted timeline for a rebound in activity.

"We continue to focus on delivering operational excellence to our valued customers, making structural improvements to minimize the impact of activity reductions and further improve the Company's operating efficiency. We began taking action early in the year, expanded our efforts in the quarter, and will take additional actions as needed going forward. We will maintain disciplined controls on costs and spending to maximize liquidity and preserve our margins as we progress through the cycle. We are proud of how our employees managed in this difficult environment, in both supporting our customers and executing on our plans."

Note: Upon completing its financial restructuring in late 2019, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting resulting in Weatherford becoming a new entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As required by GAAP, results up to and including December 13, 2019 are presented separately as the predecessor period (the "Predecessor" period) and results from December 14, 2019 and onwards are presented as the successor period (the "Successor" period). The results from these Predecessor and Successor periods are not comparable. Nevertheless, for discussion purposes herein, the Company has presented the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods as we believe this provides the most meaningful basis to analyze our results.

Notes:
([1] )Adjusted EBITDA excludes, among other items, impairments on long-lived assets, including goodwill, property plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and inventory. Unlevered free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets, plus cash paid for interest. Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.
([2]) In the first quarter of 2020 the Company began reporting adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense. Additional detail for the current and historical periods is provided in the tables below.

Enhancing Liquidity

In conjunction with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company obtained the $450 million ABL Credit Agreement and the $200 million senior secured letter of credit agreement (the "LC Credit Agreement"). Borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Agreement is primarily driven by certain of the Company's assets in North America, including working capital items such as accounts receivable and inventory. As activity in North America deteriorated during the first half of the year and working capital balances decreased, the Company's availability under the ABL Credit Agreement reduced meaningfully below the $450 million facility size. This deterioration, combined with the fact that a meaningful portion of the Company's operations are derived outside of North America, created a mismatch between the Company's available liquidity and letter of credit capacity and its operational needs. As such, during the Company's first quarter 2020 earnings release, the Company highlighted concerns around the uncertainty associated with its declining borrowing base.

On August 4, 2020 Weatherford signed a commitment letter for a senior secured first lien notes issuance that, assuming the conditions thereto are satisfied or waived and the notes issued, would substantially increase the Company's liquidity and enhance its financial strength. Consistent with this financing commitment, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions thereto, Weatherford expects to issue $500 million of new senior secured first lien notes maturing in September 2024. The proceeds of this note issuance are intended to be used to repay the ABL Credit Agreement, cash collateralize any letters of credit outstanding thereunder, and increase the Company's liquidity position. This financing is subject to documentation and certain closing conditions that are more fully disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 5, 2020. There can be no assurance that the closing conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, will be satisfied or waived before the financing commitment expires on August 14, 2020.

In addition, the Company has reduced capital expenditures and is monetizing net working capital, with second-quarter 2020 unlevered free cash flow of $108 million having improved $108 million sequentially and $306 million year-on-year.

Preserving Margin

In light of current market conditions and the outlook for the coming quarters, Weatherford has significantly expanded its cost savings plan and the Company expects to generate $650 million of savings in 2020. Approximately 85% of these actions have already been implemented, with the remainder to be completed during the second half of 2020. On an annualized basis, these actions are expected to yield over $800 million of cost savings.

The Company took aggressive actions to reduce costs during the quarter, and the impact materialized in the Company's second-quarter results. Second-quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA margins were flat year-on-year, despite a 37% reduction in revenue over the same period, yielding year-on-year adjusted EBITDA decrementals of 10%.

Leveraging Our Portfolio

Weatherford was awarded a five-year deepwater tubular-running service contract for work in the Gulf of Mexico. As part of this award, Weatherford will design and manufacture equipment to run high-spec tubulars and will provide mechanized equipment for an efficient, hands-free operation. This award highlights the strength of Weatherford's leading tubular-running services portfolio and leverages the Company's technology, service quality and its unique solution-based approach.

The Company installed a customer's first annulus gas-lift system ("AGLS") in two wells as part of an offshore operation in Norway. The AGLS includes non-standard sizes of completion equipment in an all-new well design. To deliver the installations, the Weatherford team partnered with the customer's engineering team during the planning, design and testing phases to provide several high-value solutions to its operations achieving a successful outcome. Additionally, certain services were performed remotely from onshore. The operation highlights how Weatherford is quickly adapting operational procedures and is closely collaborating with customers to address their challenges.

Weatherford deployed pressure pumping services in a high-pressure, high-temperature well for the first time in Southern Mexico. The Company used its AcidSure® acidizing system to optimize formulations and applied nodal analysis from its Interpretation and Evaluation Services group to deliver hydrocarbon production that was 30% higher than initial estimates. This operation is one of many highlights of how Weatherford is leveraging its broad portfolio of products and services to increase production at the wellsite.

Weatherford was awarded a large integrated project with a major drilling company in Iraq. The contract includes drilling and completing 20 wells in Southern Iraq, with the customer providing rigs, civil works and drilling services and Weatherford providing project management and all other services. This contract is a testament to the strength of Weatherford's capabilities across the Middle East.

Weatherford was named "Contractor of the Year" by Santos for the operational performance the Company delivered on an offshore campaign in Australia. Weatherford replaced a competitor who had served on previous campaigns and the Company was expressly recognized for its enhancements to operational efficiency and safety.

Second-quarter 2020 Western Hemisphere revenues of $310 million decreased 47% sequentially and 57% year-on-year.

In North America, second-quarter 2020 revenues of $172 million declined by 50% sequentially due to activity reductions and production shut-ins in the United States and activity decreases in Canada associated with spring break-up and the COVID-19 pandemic. The 50% sequential revenue decline compares favorably to the market, as the average rig count in North America declined by 57% during the second quarter.

Second-quarter 2020 revenues of $138 million in Latin America declined 44% sequentially, driven primarily by activity reductions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The activity reductions were the most significant in Argentina and Colombia, where average rig counts declined approximately 90% during the quarter and, for reference, Argentina and Colombia comprised approximately 50% of Weatherford's revenues in Latin America in 2019.

Second-quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA of $6 million decreased $70 million sequentially and associated margins of 2% decreased by 1,100 basis points versus the first quarter of 2020. The decline in adjusted segment EBITDA was driven by activity reductions in North and Latin America which were offset by meaningful reductions in fixed and variable costs, as evidenced by year-on-year adjusted segment EBITDA decrementals of 12%.

Second-quarter 2020 Eastern Hemisphere revenues of $511 million declined 19% sequentially and 13% year-on-year.

In the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, second-quarter 2020 revenues of $341 million declined 15% sequentially, due to activity reductions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and OPEC+ production cuts, which were partially offset by growth in Saudi Arabia driven by increased product sales.

Second-quarter 2020 revenues in Europe, Sub Saharan Africa and Russia of $170 million declined 24% sequentially, driven by activity reductions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Sub Saharan Africa.

Second-quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA of $100 million decreased $27 million sequentially and associated margins of 20% declined 70 basis points versus the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in adjusted segment EBITDA was primarily driven by the aforementioned reductions in activity and was partially offset by fixed and variable cost reductions, as evidenced by the 280 basis point year-on-year improvement in adjusted segment EBITDA margins.

Impairment and Restructuring Charges

In accordance with accounting guidelines, the Company is required to assess its goodwill, tangible and other intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recovered.

The charges are broken down as follows:

    --  Goodwill: $72 million
    --  Other intangible assets: $22 million
    --  Right of use assets: $15 million
    --  Property, plant, and equipment: $141 million
    --  Inventory: $134 million

Additionally, Weatherford recorded pre-tax restructuring and other charges of $79 million related to the Company's headcount reductions, facility consolidation, and other activities.

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 and ratios (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 operating income, provision for income taxes, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

     [1]  In the first quarter of 2020 the
           Company began reporting adjusted
           EBITDA excluding the burden of
           stock-based compensation.
           Historical periods have been
           restated to reflect this
           methodology.


     [2] Free cash flow is a non-GAAP
          measure calculated as cash flows
          provided by (used in) operating
          activities, less capital
          expenditures for property, plant
          and equipment plus proceeds from
          the disposition of assets.
          Management believes free cash flow
          is useful to understand liquidity
          and should be considered in
          addition to but not substitute cash
          flows provided by (used in)
          operating activities.
