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.
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 approximately 48,000
employees, we operate inmore 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 work 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: Increase international growth in our directional drilling, unconventionals, well intervention, and
artificial lift businesses.
-North America: Maximize value by, among other things, increasing the utilization by our customers of our Zeus
electric fracturing platform and our iCruise rotary steerable systems, and incorporating automation technologies in
certain of our processes.
-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 approximately 6% of revenue while utilizing technology and
targeted process improvements to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our utilization of 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, participate in carbon capture, utilization, and storage, and geothermal projects globally,
and support Halliburton Labs early-stage company participants.
The following charts depict the revenue split between our two operating segments and our four primary geographic
regions for thethree months ended March 31, 2025.
Market conditions
Oil prices increased in the first quarter of 2025 from the fourth quarter of 2024 partially from an improving demand
outlook in Europe and China while tighter sanctions on Venezuela, Iran and Russia weighed on the supply-side. Risks
associated with trade tensions and geopolitical unrest in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine conflict continue to be major
sources of volatility for the oil and natural gas markets. During the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. active rig count increased
slightly as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 as oil basins saw a small increase while natural gas basins
declined. The international rig count declined in the first quarter of 2025 from the fourth quarter of 2024 driven by declines in
Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa.
Since the end of the first quarter of 2025, the macro environment for oil and natural gas has seen significant
fluctuations, as the trade environment injected uncertainty into markets, raised broad economic concerns, and along with the
faster-than-expected return of OPEC production, weighed on commodity prices. As of April 22, 2025, both West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) and United Kingdom Brent crude oil prices decreased by approximately 10% since the end of the first
quarter of 2025.
We continue to monitor and assess the potential impact of newly implemented tariffs on goods being imported into the
United States. Our global supply chain organization continuously monitors market trends and works to mitigate those and other
cost increases through economies of scale in global procurement, technology modifications, and efficient sourcing practices.
Globally, we continue to be impacted by extended supply chain lead times for the supply of select raw materials. Also, while
we have been impacted by inflationary cost increases, we generally try to pass much of those increases on to our customers and
we believe we have effective solutions to minimize their operational impact.
Financial results
The following graph illustrates our revenue and operating margins for each operating segment for thefirst quarter of
2024 and 2025.
During thefirst quarter of 2025, we generated total company revenue of$5.4 billion, a 7% decrease as compared to the
first quarter of 2024. We reported operating income of $431 million, including impairments and other charges of$356 million,
in thefirst quarter of 2025, this compares to operating income of$987 million in thefirst quarter of 2024.
Our Completion and Production segment revenue decreased 8% in thefirst quarter of 2025 as compared to thefirst
quarter of 2024. These results were primarily driven by decreased pressure pumping services and lower completion tool sales in
the Western Hemisphere. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased completion tool sales and improved stimulation
activity in the Middle East.
Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue decreased 6% in thefirst quarter of 2025 as compared to thefirst quarter
of 2024. These results were primarily driven by decreased drilling services in Mexico and the Middle East, reduced project
management activity in Mexico, and lower wireline activity in the Middle East/Asia. Partially offsetting these decreases was
increased fluid services in the Middle East.
Our North America revenue decreased 12% in thefirst quarter of 2025, as compared to thefirst quarter of 2024. This
decrease was primarily driven by lower stimulation activity in US Land and reduced completion tool sales in the Gulf of
America. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher artificial lift activity and improved drilling services in US Land and
increased stimulation activity in the Gulf of America.
Internationally, revenue decreased 2% in thefirst quarter of 2025, as compared to thefirst quarter of 2024, largely
driven by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Mexico, Senegal, and Italy. Partially offsetting these decreases
were increased activity across multiple product services lines in Kuwait, higher stimulation activity in Saudi Arabia, improved
drilling-related servicesin Arge ntina, Brazil, and the Caribbean, and higher completion tool sales in Europe.

“Business Environment and Results of Operations.”
Sustainability and Energy Mix Transition
In 2021, we announced our target to achieve a 40% reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035 from the 2018
baseline. We continue to execute on our priorities to drive down our emissions intensity. At the same time, we support our
customers in their emissions reduction efforts by continuously developing and deploying goods and services that are accretive
to their goals as well as ours. As the energy mix transition unfolds, we seek to apply our expertise and resources in growth
sectors adjacent to our traditional oilfield services space, including carbon capture, utilization, and storage, and geothermal.
Finally, we will continue to focus on accelerating the success of clean tech start-ups via Halliburton Labs, which also allows us
to participate in the energy mix transition at relatively low risk by investing our expertise, resources, and team without a
significant outlay of capital while we learn where we can strategically engage new markets. As of March 31, 2025, Halliburton
Labs had 38 participating companies and alumni.
