• 2022 marks three consecutive years of positive free cash flow^[1]
  

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The outstanding results of the fourth quarter 2022 and full year are a concrete marker of the success of our turnaround initiatives for Weatherford. I am incredibly proud of and grateful to our 17,700 One Weatherford team members who have come together to deliver a year of many firsts and excellent operating results. Our commercial wins, revenue growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow are all demonstrative of exceptional performance to close the year with significant momentum.

There are many significant milestones in these results - the first time in over three decades that we generated positive free cash flow for three consecutive years, achieving the lowest net leverage ratio in more than 15 years, growing revenue year-over-year by 19%, the highest growth rate in over 10 years, and generating positive net income of $26 million, a first in over 10 years^[2] . These results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our new operating paradigm and reaffirm our ability to sustainably expand margins over the cycle while generating positive free cash flow.

We have taken bold actions to strengthen our Company and balance sheet resulting in clear outcomes. Our results, ranging from the free cash flow performance, which gave us the ability to pay down debt meaningfully, to securing a credit facility and improving our credit rating, underscore the substantial improvements we have made and allow us greater flexibility to drive our priorities throughout our next chapter.

The overall macro-environment for the sector continues to be supported by strong fundamentals despite continued inflationary and geopolitical headwinds. Our ability to carry our momentum forward is evident in the commercial wins in 2022, including over $6.5 billion of contract wins across our broad customer footprint. In the coming quarters, we will begin to see the impact of our new contracts, technology advancements, and partnerships as we continue to focus on margins, cash flow, and positioning the Company for success over the long term.

We expect full year 2023 revenue to grow by low double digits to mid-teens year-over-year and for EBITDA margins to expand at least 100 basis points year-over-year.

2023 marks a new phase for Weatherford as we shift from being a turnaround to a true value creating engine. Although there are still opportunities to drive additional efficiencies in our structure and processes, our mindset in this new phase is evolving to a longer-range vision of creating a business that will withstand cycles and perform as the sector evolves while maintaining our commitment to transparency, credibility, and performance.”

Operational Highlights

• Kuwait Oil Company awarded Weatherford a five-year contract to provide directional drilling and logging while drilling services, which provide fit-for-purpose solutions to overcome complex challenges.

• A major IOC in the Middle East awarded Weatherford with a five-year contract to provide fishing equipment and services. Our consistent service quality and safety performance enabled this win, and we are excited to continue delivering excellence and creating value for our customer.

• Weatherford secured a two-year, sole-provider award with Petrobras for the provision of our newly enhanced chemical injection system addressing the reliability and conveyance requirements of the pre-salt play. Our early engagement and commitment to solving Petrobras’ challenges in Brazil drove the development of an advanced Weatherford chemical injection wireline retrievable system that will be deployed beginning the first quarter of 2024.

• Weatherford was awarded three contracts in Latin America to deliver integrated drilling and completion services in onshore and offshore operations, including shallow water developments and exploration wells, enabled by our technological and operational leadership.

• As previously announced, Weatherford received a three-year contract from Aramco to deliver multiple services in a lump-sum turnkey project, with the possibility to extend for two years; and also received a five-year contract exceeding $500 million from Petroleum Development Oman to deliver integrated drilling services in the Marmul and Grater Saqar fields.

• Weatherford entered into a strategic partnership with Ardyne, a leader in specialized well-decommissioning technology to deliver significant value to customers globally by offering the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of Plug & Abandonment (P&A) and Slot Recovery solutions. Weatherford will invest in Ardyne’s specialized single-trip abandonment and slot-recovery technology to pair with the premier Firma™ P&A offering from Weatherford. This combined offering addresses a vital niche in late-life well management by allowing operators to tap into additional reserves or sustainability abandon nonproductive wells with a significant reduction in rig time in complex well environments.

• Weatherford signed a multi-year agreement with DataRobot, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver advanced AI solutions in its digital platforms, including Foresite® production optimization and Centro™ well construction platforms. By forging this new relationship with DataRobot, Weatherford will accelerate the development of machine learning (ML) and AI-enabled offerings with its Digital Solutions portfolio to deliver disruptive and innovative technologies to the market.

Liquidity

We closed the fourth quarter of 2022 with total cash of approximately $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2022, down $31 million sequentially, despite having paid down $125 million of our 11% Exit Notes and repurchased $8 million of our 6.5% Senior Secured Notes in the same quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities of $193 million improved $33 million sequentially and free cash flow^[1] of $171 million improved $38 million sequentially. These improvements were driven mainly by higher adjusted EBITDA^[1], as well as improved working capital efficiencies especially around inventory utilization.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Standard & Poor upgraded our credit ratings to “B” from “B-”. Additionally, we increased the aggregate amount available under our credit facility to $400 million. For the full year, we made total debt repayments and repurchases of $183 million, comprised of $175 million of our 11% Exit Notes, and $8 million of our 6.5% Senior Secured Notes, achieving a net leverage ratio^[3] of 1.4x which is our lowest in over 15 years. In January of 2023, we paid down an additional $20 million of our 11% Exit Notes and repurchased $11 million of our 6.5% Senior Secured Notes.

^[1] EBITDA represents income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes, among other items, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, as well as other charges and credits. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and 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] Positive net income for the first time in over 10 years excludes the gain from bankruptcy emergence.
^[3] Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by net debt (total short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash) divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months.

Results by Reportable Segment

		Three Months Ended												Variance
($ in Millions)		December 31, 2022				September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021				Seq.			YoY

Fourth quarter 2022 DRE revenues of $371 million increased by $23 million, or 7% sequentially, mainly due to higher activity and price recoveries for drilling services and higher wireline and managed pressure drilling activity in Latin America and the Middle East/North Africa/Asia regions. Year-over-year DRE revenues increased by $84 million, or 29%, due to increased activity across all products lines.

Fourth quarter 2022 DRE segment adjusted EBITDA of $111 million increased by $26 million, or 31% sequentially, largely due to higher fall-through for drilling services activities and certain contract pricing adjustments during the quarter. Year-over-year DRE segment adjusted EBITDA increased by $56 million, or 102%, mainly due to higher activity across all product lines.

Fourth quarter 2022 WCC revenues of $403 million increased by $12 million, or 3% sequentially, primarily driven by higher cementation and liner hanger products revenue in the Middle East/North Africa /Asia and Latin America regions.

Fourth quarter 2022 WCC segment adjusted EBITDA of $87 million increased by $9 million, or 12% sequentially, largely due to higher fall-through and execution efficiencies for cementation and liner hanger products in the Middle East/North Africa/Asia and Latin America regions. Year-over-year WCC segment adjusted EBITDA increased by $15 million, or 21%, mainly driven by increased fall through from higher cementation products revenue.

^[1] Working capital is defined as the cash changes in accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable.
^[2] Other operating activities is primarily accruals, net of cash payments for operational expenses, interest, taxes, employee costs and leases.
^[3] Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated as cash flows provided by 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 operating 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 (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.
