Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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 2023 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 September 30, 2024, the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2. Impairments and Other Charges

The following table presents various pre-tax charges we recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which are reflected within “Impairments and other charges” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During thethree months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $63 million in severance expense as we rationalized global headcount to reflect growth expectations.

During the third quarter of 2024, we recorded a $49 million impairment associated with a strategic decision to market for sale a portion of our chemical business.

Table of ContentsPart I. Item 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As disclosed within our Form 8-Ks filed on August 23, 2024, and September 3, 2024, we became aware that an unauthorized third party gained access to certain of our systems. As a result, we incurred$35 million in expenses during thethree months ended September 30, 2024 related to the engagement of external advisors to assess and remediate the effects of the activity, and restore our systems, as well as legal fees, payroll related costs, and other expenses.

Additionally, we recognized a gain of$43 million related to a fair value adjustment on an equity investment during thethree months ended September 30, 2024.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there wereno amounts recorded in impairments and other charges.

Note 3. Business Segment Information

We operate undertwo divisions, which form the basis for thetwo 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.

The following table presents information on our business segments.

(d)During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Halliburton incurred a charge of $82 million primarily due to the impairment of an investment in Argentina and currency devaluation in Egypt.

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 ourtwo reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold,41% and 45% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 EndedSeptember 30,Nine Months EndedSeptember 30,
Millions of dollars2024202320242023
Revenue by segment:
Completion and Production$3,299$3,487$10,073$10,372
Drilling and Evaluation2,3982,3177,2616,907
Total revenue$5,697$5,804$17,334$17,279
Revenue by geographic region:
North America$2,386$2,608$7,413$8,069
Latin America1,0531,0483,2582,957
Europe/Africa/CIS7227342,2082,094
Middle East/Asia1,5361,4144,4554,159
Total revenue$5,697$5,804$17,334$17,279

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 ofone 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 September 30, 2024,30% of our net trade receivables was from customers in the United States and 12% was from customers in Mexico. As of December 31, 2023,33% of our net trade receivables was from customers in the United States and 9% was from customers in Mexico. Receivables from our primary customer in Mexico accounted for approximately 10% and 6% of our total receivables as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 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. No country other than the United States and Mexico or 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:

Millions of dollarsSeptember 30,2024December 31,2023
Finished products and parts$1,987$2,069
Raw materials and supplies1,0631,021
Work in process144136
Total inventories$3,194$3,226

Note 6. Accounts Payable

Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted new supplier finance program disclosure requirements contained in guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASU 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”). The standards update also includes a prospective annual requirement to disclose a rollforward of the amount of the supplier finance program obligations during the annual reporting period. We will include the rollforward disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024, as required.

We have agreements with third parties that allow our participating suppliers to finance payment obligations from us with designated third-party financial institutions who act as our paying agent. We have generally extended our payment terms with suppliers to 90 days. A participating supplier may request a 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 institutions.

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 these agreements were $321 million as of September 30, 2024, and $322 million as of December 31, 2023, and are included in accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7. Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a total income tax provision of $154 million, which included a partial release of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the amount of $41 million, on a pre-tax income of $734 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $192 million on a pre-tax income of $916 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the quarter.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a total income tax provision of $539 million, which included a partial release of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the amount of $41 million, on a pre-tax income of $2.4 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.1% for the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $533 million on a pre-tax income of $2.5 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.1% for the period.

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 2012. The only significant operating jurisdiction that has tax filings under review or subject to examination by the tax authorities is the United States. The United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2016 through 2023 are currently under review or remain open for review by the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS).

As of September 30, 2024, 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.

As a result, additional paid in capital was reduced to zero, which resulted in a reduction of retained earnings by $3 million, $82 million, and $13 million, respectively. Future issuances from treasury shares could similarly impact additional paid in capital and retained earnings.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We repurchased 6.2 million shares of our common stock under the program during the three months ended September 30, 2024 for $196 million. Approximately $3.4 billion remained authorized for repurchases under the program as of September 30, 2024. From the inception of this program in February of 2006 through September 30, 2024, we repurchased 273 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of approximately $10.8 billion. We repurchased 5.1 million shares of our common stock under the program during the three months ended September 30, 2023 for approximately $200 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 agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $2.6 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of September 30, 2024. 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 September 30, 2024, we had no material off-balance sheet liabilities and were not required to make any material cash distributions to our unconsolidated subsidiaries.

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 EndedSeptember 30,Nine Months EndedSeptember 30,
Millions of shares2024202320242023
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding881898885901

Antidilutive shares:
Options with exercise price greater than the average market price9111013
Total antidilutive shares9111013

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:

September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Millions of dollarsLevel 1Level 2Total fair valueCarrying valueLevel 1Level 2Total fair valueCarrying value
Total debt$7,711$101$7,812$7,639$7,419$378$7,797$7,636

In the first nine months of 2024, the fair value of our total debt increased as a result of lower bond 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 lasttwo 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 totwo 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 haveno debt categorized within level 3 on the fair value hierarchy.

Credit risk

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a credit default swap (CDS) with a third-party financial institution with an initial notional amount of $300 million. The CDS is related to a borrowing provided by the financial institution to one of our primary customers in Mexico, and a portion of the proceeds were utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables. The outstanding notional amount of the CDS, which was $217 million as of September 30, 2024, will continue to reduce on a monthly basis over its remaining 17-month term.

During the third quarter of 2024, we entered into a CDS with a different third-party financial institution with an initial notional amount of $256 million. The CDS is related to a borrowing provided by the financial institution to one of our primary customers in Mexico, and a portion of the proceeds were utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables. The outstanding notional amount of the CDS, which was $235 million as of September 30, 2024, will continue to reduce on a monthly basis over its remaining 21-month term.

The fair value of the derivative liabilities was not material to our financial condition as of September 30, 2024.
