HALLIBURTON COMPANY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using United States
generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for
annual financial statements and should be read together with our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect:
•the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements; and
•the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2026, the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31,
2026 and 2025, and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period
presentation.
The results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 may not be indicative of results for the full
year.
Note 2. Impairments and Other Charges
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no amounts recorded in impairments and other charges.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $356 million primarily related to
$107 million in severance expense as we rationalized global headcount to align with activity levels and $104 million of
additional impairment associated with a strategic decision to market for sale a portion of our chemical business. Additionally,
we recognized a $53 million impairment related to facility closures and lease terminations. Other charges of $92 million were
primarily related to legacy environmental remediation cost estimate increases.

Part I. Item 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
Note 3. Business Segment Information
We operate under two divisions, which form the basis for the two operating segments we report: the Completion and
Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment. Our equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates that
are accounted for using the equity method of accounting are included within cost of services and cost of sales on our statements
of operations, which is part of operating income of the applicable segment.
Our company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is Jeffrey Miller, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive Officer. Throughout the year, our CODM assesses the performance of the two segments based on segment revenue
and operating income, in comparison with forecast and plan and overall results, to make capital and resource allocation
decisions.
The following table presents information on our business segments.
(a) | Includes certain expenses not attributable to a business segment, such as costs related to support functions, corporate executives, and operating lease assets, and includes amortization expense associated with intangible assets recorded as a result of acquisitions. | ||
(b) | For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the amount includes a $201 million charge attributable to Completion and Production, an $85 million charge attributable to Drilling and Evaluation, and a $70 million charge attributable to Corporate and other. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 for further discussion on impairments and other charges. | ||

Note 4. Revenue
Revenue is recognized based on the transfer of control or our customers’ ability to benefit from our services and
products in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services and products. Most of
our service and product contracts are short-term in nature. In recognizing revenue for our services and products, we determine
the transaction price of purchase orders or contracts with our customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration.
We also assess our customers’ ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including our historical
payment experience with, and the financial condition of, our customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type,
although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 20 to 60 days. Other judgments involved in recognizing
revenue include an assessment of progress towards completion of performance obligations for certain long-term contracts,
which involve estimating total costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and calculating the corresponding
amount of revenue to recognize.
Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our two
reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold, 37% and
39% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
respectively. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for those periods.
The following table presents information on our disaggregated revenue.
Three Months Ended | ||
March 31, | ||
Millions of dollars | 2026 | 2025 |
Revenue by segment: | ||
Completion and Production | $3,016 | $3,120 |
Drilling and Evaluation | 2,386 | 2,297 |
Total revenue | $5,402 | $5,417 |
Revenue by geographic region: | ||
North America | $2,136 | $2,236 |
Latin America | 1,090 | 896 |
Europe/Africa/CIS | 858 | 775 |
Middle East/Asia | 1,318 | 1,510 |
Total revenue | $5,402 | $5,417 |
Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and products in exchange for
consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customers’ payment, which results in the
recognition of receivables and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance consideration received from customers
for contracts where revenue is recognized on future performance of service. Deferred revenue, as well as revenue recognized
during the period relating to amounts included as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, was not material to our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed and future
revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining
performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We have some long-term
contracts related to software and integrated project management services such as lump sum turnkey contracts. For software
contracts, revenue is generally recognized over the duration of the contract period when the software is considered to be a right
to access our intellectual property. For lump sum turnkey projects, we recognize revenue over time using an input method,
which requires us to exercise judgment. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for these long-term contracts
is not material.

Receivables
As of March 31, 2026, 32% of our net trade receivables were from customers in the United States. As of December 31,
2025, 31% of our net trade receivables were from customers in the United States. Receivables from our primary customer in
Mexico accounted for approximately 7% of our total receivables as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. While we
have experienced payment delays from our primary customer in Mexico, the amounts are not in dispute and we have not
historically had, and we do not expect, any material write-offs due to collectability of receivables from this customer.
Furthermore, we have entered into credit default swaps (CDSs) with third-party financial institutions that have an aggregate
notional amount outstanding as of March 31, 2026 of $374 million, compared to an aggregate notional amount outstanding as
of December 31, 2025 of $592 million, related to borrowings provided by the financial institutions to one of our primary
customers in Mexico, of which portions of the proceeds were utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding
receivables. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11 for further information on these CDSs. No
countries other than the United States, and no single customer, accounted for more than 10% of our net trade receivables at
those dates.
We have risk of delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues. We
routinely monitor the financial stability of our customers and employ an extensive process to evaluate the collectability of
outstanding receivables. This process, which involves judgment and estimates, includes analysis of our customers’ historical
time to pay, financial condition and various financial metrics, debt structure, credit ratings, and production profile, as well as
political and economic factors in countries of operations and other customer-specific factors.
Note 5. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
Note 6. Accounts Payable
We have an agreement with a third party that allows our participating suppliers to finance payment obligations from us
with a designated third-party financial institution who acts as our paying agent. We have generally extended our payment terms
with suppliers to 90 days. A participating supplier may request the participating financial institution to finance one or more of
our payment obligations to such supplier prior to the scheduled due date thereof at a discounted price. We are not required to
provide collateral to the financial institution.
Our obligations to participating suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by
the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts due under these financing arrangements. Our outstanding payment obligations under
this agreement was $267 million as of March 31, 2026, and $280 million as of December 31, 2025, and are included in
“Accounts payable” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 7. Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a total income tax provision of $105 million on a pre-tax
income of $569 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.5% for the quarter. The effective tax rate for this period was
primarily impacted by the release of a valuation allowance in the amount of $32 million related to changes in deferred tax asset
realizability. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a total income tax provision of $103 million on a
pre-tax income of $306 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.7% for the quarter. The effective tax rate for this period
was primarily impacted by the additional valuation allowance recognized on our deferred tax assets, which resulted from the
pre-tax $356 million of impairments and other charges.
Our tax returns are subject to review by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions where we file tax returns. In most
cases we are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2014. The only significant operating
jurisdiction that has tax filings under review or subject to examination by the tax authorities is the United States. As of
March 31, 2026, the United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2016 through 2024 are currently under review or
remain open for review by the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS).
As of March 31, 2026, the primary unresolved issue for the IRS audit for 2016 relates to the classification of the
$3.5 billion ordinary deduction that we claimed for the termination fee we paid to Baker Hughes in the second quarter of 2016
for which we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) from the IRS on September 28, 2023. We regularly assess the
likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations to determine the adequacy of our tax reserves, and we believe
our income tax reserves are appropriately provided for all open tax years. We do not expect a final resolution of this issue in the
next twelve months.
Based on the information currently available, we do not anticipate a significant increase or decrease to our tax
contingencies within the next twelve months.

(a) | In the first quarter of 2025, we issued common stock from treasury shares for stock options exercised, restricted stock grants, performance shares under our performance unit program, and purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. |
Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We repurchased
2.8 million shares of our common stock under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2026 for $100 million.
Approximately $1.9 billion remained authorized for repurchases under the program as of March 31, 2026. From the inception
of this program in February of 2006 through March 31, 2026, we repurchased 329 million shares of our common stock for a
total cost of approximately $12.2 billion. We repurchased 9.6 million shares of our common stock under the program during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 for approximately $252 million.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal or governmental proceedings, claims or investigations, including personal
injury, property damage, environmental, intellectual property, commercial, tax, and other matters arising in the ordinary course
of business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
results of operations or consolidated financial position. There is inherent risk in any legal or governmental proceeding, claim or
investigation, and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these proceedings.
Guarantee arrangements
In the normal course of business, we have in place agreements with financial institutions under which approximately
$3.2 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Some of the
outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization. None of these off-
balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 10. Income per Share
Basic income or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common
shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded
from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.
A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share computations is as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
Millions of shares | 2026 | 2025 |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | 837 | 866 |
Dilutive effect of awards granted under our stock incentive plans | 2 | — |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | 839 | 866 |
Antidilutive shares: | ||
Weighted average options with exercise price greater than the average market price | 5 | 9 |
Total antidilutive shares | 5 | 9 |
Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable, as reflected in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
The carrying amount and fair value of our total debt is as follows:
March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||
Millions of dollars | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total fair value | Carrying value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total fair value | Carrying value | |
Total debt | $6,916 | $98 | $7,014 | $7,160 | $6,722 | $357 | $7,079 | $7,158 | |
The total fair value of our debt decreased during the first quarter of 2026, primarily as a result of higher yields.
Our debt categorized within level 1 on the fair value hierarchy is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for
identical liabilities with transactions occurring on the last two days of period-end. Our debt categorized within level 2 on the
fair value hierarchy is calculated using significant observable inputs for similar liabilities where estimated values are
determined from observable data points on our other bonds and on other similarly rated corporate debt or from observable data
points of transactions occurring prior to two days from period-end and adjusting for changes in market conditions. Differences
between the periods presented in our level 1 and level 2 classification of our long-term debt relate to the timing of when third-
party market transactions on our debt are executed. We have no debt categorized within level 3 on the fair value hierarchy.

Credit risk
We have entered into CDSs with third-party financial institutions that had an aggregate notional amount outstanding as
of March 31, 2026 of $374 million, compared to an aggregate notional amount outstanding as of December 31, 2025 of $592
million, related to borrowings provided by the financial institutions to one of our primary customers in Mexico, of which a
portion of the proceeds were then utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables. Approximately $331
million of the outstanding amount of the CDSs reduces monthly over its remaining 6-month term and $43 million reduces
monthly over its remaining 3-month term.
The fair value of the derivative liabilities was not material to our financial condition as of March 31, 2026.
Note 12. New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03
(Subtopic 220-40), “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires additional disclosure of certain expense
captions presented on the face of the Company’s income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03
is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption
permitted. We continue to evaluate the effect that adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our disclosures.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements contained herein.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Organization
We are one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. We help our customers
maximize asset value throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to
drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production throughout the life of the asset.
Activity levels within our operations are significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development, and
production programs by major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies. We report our results under two
segments, the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment.
•Completion and Production delivers cementing, stimulation, specialty chemicals, intervention, pressure control,
artificial lift, and completion products and services. The segment consists of Artificial Lift, Cementing, Completion
Tools, Multi-Chem, Pipeline and Process Services, Production Enhancement, and Production Solutions. During the
third quarter of 2024, we made a strategic decision to market for sale a portion of our chemical business. We expect
the sale to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
•Drilling and Evaluation provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, fluids, evaluation, and precise wellbore
placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, drill, and optimize their well construction activities.
The segment consists of Baroid, Drill Bits and Services, Halliburton Project Management, Landmark Software and
Services, Sperry Drilling, Testing and Subsea, and Wireline and Perforating.
The business operations of our segments are organized around four primary geographic regions: North America, Latin
America, Europe/Africa/CIS, and Middle East/Asia. We have manufacturing operations in various locations, the most
significant of which are in the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. With over 46,000 employees, we
operate in more than 70 countries around the world, and our corporate headquarters is in Houston, Texas.
Our value proposition is to collaborate and engineer solutions to maximize asset value for our customers. We strive to
achieve strong cash flows and returns for our shareholders by delivering technology and services that improve efficiency,
increase recovery, and maximize production for our customers. Our strategic priorities are to:
- International: Consistently increase international growth in our directional drilling, unconventionals, well
intervention, and artificial lift businesses. Develop our strategic collaboration with VoltaGrid around behind-the-
meter power generation.
- North America: Maximize value by, among other things, utilizing our Zeus IQ electric fracturing platform, our
iCruise rotary steerable systems and LOGIX automation.
- Digital: Continue to drive differentiation and efficiencies through the deployment of digital and automation
technologies, both internally and for our customers.
- Capital efficiency: Maintain our capital expenditures at about $1.1 billion, while leveraging technology and targeted
process improvements to enhance utilization of existing capital.
- Shareholder returns: Return over 50% of annual free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share
repurchases.
- Advance a Sustainable Energy Future: Continue to develop technologies and solutions to help lower our customers’
and our emissions intensity, grow our low carbon energy business, and support Halliburton Labs early-stage
company participants.

Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview |
The following charts depict the revenue split between our two operating segments and our four primary geographic
regions for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Market conditions
During the first quarter of 2026, the ongoing geopolitical conflict has impacted activity in the Middle East resulting in
an impact of $0.02 to $0.03 of diluted net income per share across both of our segments. Oilfield activity reflected continued
customer focus on capital discipline and returns, with spending concentrated on projects and programs that improve near-term
production and operating efficiency. Customer activity levels and spending plans remained sensitive to oil and natural gas price
volatility and changes in global supply-and-demand fundamentals and were impacted by geopolitical developments, including
regional conflicts, sanctions, and trade or regulatory actions.
Trade tensions and tariffs continue to influence the global demand outlook, with varying impacts across end markets.
Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated tariffs imposed in 2025 by the Trump Administration on goods from all
countries, President Trump implemented a 150-day “global tariff” of 10% effective February 24, 2026, using presidential
powers under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, and indicated a desire to increase such “global tariff” to 15%. Although the
Section 122 tariffs are due to expire in July, the Trump Administration has initiated processes that could result in new tariffs
being imposed under other statutes. We continue to monitor and evaluate the effects on goods imported into the United States.
Oil prices increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The West Texas Intermediate
(WTI) crude oil price averaged approximately $72 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, compared to approximately $60
per barrel during the fourth quarter of 2025, or a 20% increase. The Brent crude oil price averaged approximately $80 per barrel
during the first quarter of 2026, compared to approximately $64 per barrel during the fourth quarter, or a 25% increase.
Globally, we continue to be impacted by inflationary cost increases, primarily related to logistics, chemicals, and
cement, we manage these pressures through global procurement strategies, technology modifications, and sourcing efficiencies.
As a standard practice, we generally seek to pass a portion of these cost increases on to our customers and believe we have
effective solutions in place to minimize their operational impact.

Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview |
Financial results
The following graph illustrates our revenue and operating margins for each operating segment for the first quarter of
2025 and 2026.
During the first quarter of 2026, we generated total company revenue of $5.4 billion, relatively flat as compared to the
first quarter of 2025. We reported operating income of $679 million, in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to operating
income of $431 million in the first quarter of 2025, including impairments and other charges of $356 million.
Our Completion and Production segment revenue decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to the first
quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by lower stimulation activity in North America, and lower completion tool
sales and decreased pressure pumping services in the Middle East. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher completion
tool sales in the Western Hemisphere, and improved pressure pumping services in Africa.
Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue increased 4% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter
of 2025. These results were primarily driven by higher project management activity in Latin America and increased drilling-
related services in Europe and the Western Hemisphere. Partially offsetting these increases were lower activity across multiple
product service lines in the Middle East, lower wireline activity in the Eastern Hemisphere, and decreased fluid services in the
Gulf of America.
Both divisional results were negatively impacted by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East.
Our North America revenue decreased 4% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. This
decline was primarily driven by lower stimulation activity and decreased artificial lift activity in US Land, and lower
stimulation activity and decreased fluid services in the Gulf of America. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased
drilling-related services in US Land and higher completion tool sales in the region.
Internationally, revenue increased 3% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025, largely
driven by improved activity across multiple product service lines in Ecuador, the Caribbean, and Brazil, higher stimulation
activity in Mexico and Argentina, increased drilling-related services and higher completion tool sales in Norway, and improved
pressure pumping services in Angola. Offsetting these increases were lower activity across multiple product service lines in the
Middle East and decreased drilling-related services in Namibia.
Our operating performance and liquidity are described in more detail in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and
“Business Environment and Results of Operations.”
HAL Q1 2026 FORM 10-Q | 17
Part I. Item 2 | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2026, we had $2.0 billion of cash and equivalents, compared to $2.2 billion of cash and equivalents at
December 31, 2025.
Significant sources and uses of cash during the first three months of 2026
Sources of cash:
•Cash flows from operating activities were $273 million. Working capital, which consists of receivables,
inventories, and accounts payable, collectively had a negative impact of $252 million.
Uses of cash:
•Capital expenditures were $192 million.
•We repurchased 2.8 million shares of our common stock for $100 million.
•We paid $142 million of dividends to our shareholders.
Future sources and uses of cash
We manufacture most of our own equipment, which provides us with some flexibility to increase or decrease our
capital expenditures based on market conditions. We currently expect capital spending for 2026 to be approximately $1.1
billion. We believe this level of spending will enable continued investment in our core strategic technologies and businesses,
including the international expansion of our artificial lift, well intervention, unconventionals, and drilling technologies. We will
continue to maintain capital discipline and monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics, and we may adjust our capital
spending accordingly.
While we maintain focus on liquidity and debt reduction, we are also focused on providing cash returns to our
shareholders. Our quarterly dividend rate is $0.17 per common share, or approximately $142 million. In 2023, our Board
approved a capital return framework with a goal of returning at least 50% of our annual free cash flow to shareholders through
dividends and share repurchases and we expect our returns to shareholders will be in line with our capital return framework for
2026.
We may utilize share repurchases as part of our capital return framework. Our Board of Directors has authorized a
program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We repurchased 2.8 million shares of common stock during the
first quarter of 2026 under this program. Approximately $1.9 billion remained authorized for repurchases as of March 31, 2026
and may be used for open market and other share purchases.
During 2023, we began our migration to SAP S4 which we expect to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026. During
the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred $42 million in expense on our SAP S4 migration and expect the estimated
cost to be approximately $45 million per quarter going forward. We believe the new system will provide important efficiency
benefits, cost savings, enhanced visibility to our operations, and advanced analytics that will benefit us and our customers.
We may, from time to time, redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire our outstanding debt through privately
negotiated transactions, open market purchases, redemptions, tender offers or otherwise, but we are under no obligation to do
so.
Other factors affecting liquidity
Financial condition in current market. As of March 31, 2026, we had $2.0 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.5
billion of available committed bank credit under our revolving credit facility, with an expiration date of August 16, 2030. We
believe we have a manageable debt maturity profile, with approximately $90 million due February 2027. Furthermore, we have
no financial covenants or material adverse change provisions in our bank agreements, and our debt maturities extend over a
long period of time. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and our available credit facility will
provide sufficient liquidity to address expected global cash needs, including capital expenditures, working capital investments,
shareholder returns, if any, debt repurchases, if any, and scheduled interest and principal payments, in the short term and long
term.
Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which
approximately $3.2 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Some
of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization; however,
none of these triggering events have occurred. As of March 31, 2026, we had no material off-balance sheet liabilities and were
not required to make any material cash distributions to our unconsolidated subsidiaries.
HAL Q1 2026 FORM 10-Q | 18
Part I. Item 2 | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
We have entered into credit default swaps (CDSs) with third-party financial institutions that have an aggregate
notional amount outstanding as of March 31, 2026 of $374 million, compared to an aggregate notional amount outstanding as
of December 31, 2025 of $592 million, related to borrowings provided by the financial institutions to one of our primary
customers in Mexico, of which portions of the proceeds were utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding
receivables. Approximately $331 million of the outstanding amount of the CDSs reduces monthly over its remaining 6-month
term and $43 million reduces monthly over its remaining 3-month term.
Credit ratings. Our credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s remain BBB+ for our long-term debt and A-2 for our short-
term debt, with a stable outlook. Our credit ratings with Moody's Investors Service remain A3 for our long-term debt and P-2
for our short-term debt, with a stable outlook.
Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are,
therefore, subject to our customers delaying or failing to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience
increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from
operations and their access to the credit markets, as well as unsettled political conditions.
Receivables from our primary customer in Mexico accounted for approximately 7% of our total receivables as of both
March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. While we have experienced payment delays from our primary customer in Mexico,
the amounts are not in dispute and we have not historically had, and we do not expect, any material write-offs due to
collectability of receivables from this customer.

Part I. Item 2 | Business Environment and Results of Operations |
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We operate in more than 70 countries throughout the world to provide a comprehensive range of services and products
to the energy industry. Our revenue is generated from the sale of services and products to major, national, and independent oil
and natural gas companies worldwide. The industry we serve is highly competitive with many substantial competitors in each
segment of our business. Based on the location of the services provided and products sold, 37% and 39% of our consolidated
revenue was from the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. No other country
accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for those periods.
Activity within our business segments is significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development,
and production programs by our customers. Also impacting our activity is the status of the global economy, which impacts oil
and natural gas consumption.
Some of the more significant determinants of current and future spending levels of our customers are oil and natural
gas prices, our customers’ expectations about future prices, global oil supply and demand, the impact on natural gas supply and
demand in North America of electrification and data centers power requirements, completions intensity, the world economy, the
availability of capital, government regulation, and global stability, which together drive worldwide drilling and completions
activity. Lower oil and natural gas prices usually translate into lower exploration and production budgets and lower rig count,
while the opposite is usually true for higher oil and natural gas prices. Our financial performance is therefore significantly
affected by oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.
The table below shows the average prices for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, United Kingdom Brent crude
oil, and Henry Hub natural gas.

Business outlook
We expect oilfield services activity to be supported by continued customer focus on capital discipline, production
optimization, and efficiency‑driven investment across both international and North America markets. While we continue to
experience operational disruptions in the Middle East, including work cancellations, force‑majeure declarations, reduced
offshore activity, and higher logistics costs, the majority of our operations remain active.
Outside the Middle East, our outlook remains positive. International activity is expected to grow in the mid‑to‑high
single digits for the full year 2026, led by strong customer engagement and investment in Latin America and continued
momentum in offshore markets.
In North America, we see early signs of a services‑market recovery as customers accelerate development within
existing budgets and reduce calendar white‑space. Depleted drilled‑but‑uncompleted well inventories are expected to support
additional drilling activity, and demand for differentiated technologies, including electric fracturing and automated
well‑construction solutions, continues to increase.
We expect broader market fundamentals to remain supportive, although customer spending and activity levels may be
influenced by volatility in oil and natural gas prices, changes in global supply‑and‑demand dynamics, inflationary cost
pressures, and geopolitical developments. These factors, including regional conflicts, sanctions, and regulatory or trade
changes, may affect project timing, supply chains, and access to certain markets.

Operating Segments
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.0 billion, a decrease of $104 million, or 3%,
when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Operating income in the first quarter of 2026 was $439 million, a decrease of $92
million, or 17%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by lower stimulation activity
in North America, and lower completion tool sales and decreased pressure pumping services in the Middle East. Partially
offsetting these decreases were higher completion tool sales in the Western Hemisphere, and improved pressure pumping
services in Africa.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.4 billion, an increase of $89 million, or 4%, when
compared to the first quarter of 2025. Operating income in the first quarter of 2026 was $351 million, flat when compared to the
first quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by higher project management activity in Latin America and increased
drilling-related services in Europe and the Western Hemisphere. Partially offsetting these increases were lower activity across
multiple product service lines in the Middle East, lower wireline activity in the Eastern Hemisphere, and decreased fluid
services in the Gulf of America.
In the first quarter of 2026, the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East affected both of our operating segments, with
an impact of $0.02 to $0.03 of diluted net income per share.

Part I. Item 2 | Results of Operations in 2026 Compared to 2025 (QTD) |
Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.1 billion, a 4% decrease, as compared to the first quarter of
2025. This decline was primarily driven by lower stimulation activity and decreased artificial lift activity in US Land, and lower
stimulation activity and decreased fluid services in the Gulf of America. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased
drilling-related services in US Land and higher completion tool sales in the region.
Latin America
Latin America revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.1 billion, a 22% increase compared to the first quarter of
2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher activity across multiple product service lines in Ecuador, the Caribbean, and
Brazil, and improved stimulation activity in Mexico and Argentina. Partially offsetting these increases were lower project
management activity and decreased drilling-related services in Mexico.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $858 million, an 11% increase compared to the first quarter
of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increased drilling-related services and higher completion tool sales in Norway,
and improved pressure pumping services in Angola. Partially offsetting these increases were lower completion tool sales in the
Caspian Area and decreased drilling-related services in Namibia.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.3 billion, a 13% decrease compared to the first quarter of
2025. This decrease was primarily driven by conflict-related disruptions that resulted in lower activity across multiple product
service lines in Saudi Arabia and decreased drilling-related services in Qatar. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher
completion tool sales and improved fluid services in Asia.
Other Operating Items
SAP S4 Upgrade Expense. As previously mentioned, during 2023, we began our migration to SAP S4, which we
expect to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, we recognized $42 million of expense on our
SAP S4 migration. During the first quarter of 2025, we recognized $30 million of expense on our SAP S4 migration.
Impairments and Other Charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no amounts recorded in
impairments and other charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we took a pre-tax charge of $356 million
primarily related to severance costs, an impairment of assets held for sale, an impairment of facility closures and lease
terminations, and other items. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 for further discussion of
these charges.
Nonoperating Items
Pension Settlement Charges from Plan Terminations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company
entered into agreements to transfer certain defined benefit pension obligations to third-party insurers in connection with plan
terminations. As a result, the Company recognized approximately $23 million of non-cash pension settlement charges,
primarily related to the acceleration of actuarial losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This is
included in “Other, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Tax Provision. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a total income tax provision of
$105 million on a pre-tax income of $569 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.5% for the quarter. The effective tax
rate for this period was primarily impacted by the release of a valuation allowance in the amount of $32 million related to
changes in deferred tax asset realizability. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a total income tax
provision of $103 million on a pre-tax income of $306 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.7% for the quarter. The
effective tax rate for this period was primarily impacted by the additional valuation allowance recognized on our deferred tax
assets, which resulted from the pre-tax $356 million of impairments and other charges.
Pillar Two. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development enacted model rules for a new global
minimum tax framework, also known as Pillar Two, and certain governments globally have enacted, or are in the process of
enacting, legislation considering these model rules. These rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
HAL Q1 2026 FORM 10-Q | 23
Part I. Item 2 | Results of Operations in 2026 Compared to 2025 (QTD) |
Internal Revenue Service Notice of Proposed Adjustment. We are subject to taxes in the United States and in numerous
jurisdictions where we operate or where our subsidiaries are organized. Our tax returns are routinely subject to examination by
the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions where we file tax returns. In most cases we are no longer subject to examination by tax
authorities for years before 2014. The only significant operating jurisdiction that has tax filings under review or subject to
examination by the tax authorities is the United States. Our United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2016 through
2024, including carry back of 2016 net operating losses to 2014, are currently under review or remain open for review by the
IRS.
On September 28, 2023, we received a NOPA from the IRS covering our 2016 U.S. tax return. The NOPA proposed
an adjustment to reclassify approximately 95% of the $3.5 billion termination fee paid to Baker Hughes in 2016 from an
ordinary expense deduction to a capital loss. The termination fee was paid to Baker Hughes under the merger agreement after
antitrust regulators in multiple jurisdictions failed to approve our proposed merger. It is common commercial practice to include
a termination fee in a merger agreement to compensate the target for damages incurred when the acquisition does not go
forward. The IRS’s long-understood position at the time of payment had been to treat such payments as an ordinary and
necessary business expense. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustment on both a factual and legal basis, and we plan
to vigorously contest it.
We expect that resolving this dispute will take substantial time. In 2023, we initiated the IRS administrative appeals
process, which is ongoing. Failing a resolution through that process, the matter would ultimately be resolved by the United
States federal courts.
We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations to determine the adequacy of
our tax reserves, and we believe our income tax reserves are appropriately provided for all open tax years. We cannot assure
you that the matter will be determined in our favor or against us, and if the matter is ultimately determined unfavorably to us, it
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Based on tax attributes currently available, we
estimate that, should the IRS's position prevail through the appellate process and subsequent litigation, the proposed adjustment
could result in cash taxes due of approximately $640 million (plus interest thereon in the case of amounts due for previous tax
years). Our estimates are calculated under current tax law and on the basis of our assumptions regarding taxable income and
loss and other tax attributes over the relevant period, which law could change and which assumptions could and likely will
differ materially from actual results. In any event, no payment of any additional tax is currently required, nor do we anticipate
that the proposed adjustment would materially and adversely impact our ability to meet our expected uses of cash, including
future capital expenditures, working capital investments, and scheduled debt repayments, or our ability to return cash to
shareholders, even if a final determination of the matter is reached that is adverse to us.
