NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Weatherford International plc (the “Company,” “Weatherford,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”).
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Weatherford and its subsidiaries for the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Our financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. Under this basis, our financial statements consolidate all wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled joint ventures. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Please refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Consolidated Financial Statements from our 2024 Form 10-K for the discussion on our significant accounting policies. Certain reclassifications have been made to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to conform to the presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
Please refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Consolidated Financial Statements from our 2024 Form 10-K for the discussion on accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective for the interim periods presented that are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Evaluations of all other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are on-going, and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
2 – Segment Information
Financial information by segment is summarized below. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as presented in our 2024 Form 10-K. We have three reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Evaluation “DRE,” (2) Well Construction and Completions “WCC,” and (3) Production and Intervention “PRI.”
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our chief executive officer, uses segment adjusted EBITDA to measure the profitability of each segment. The regularly reviewed historical, current and forecasted segment adjusted EBITDA data is utilized by the CODM to allocate Company resources. The CODM also uses segment adjusted EBITDA to drive efficiencies and develop competitive strategies. Segment adjusted EBITDA is based on segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense and other adjustments. All other includes results from non-core business activities (including integrated services and projects), and corporate includes overhead support and centrally managed or shared facilities costs. All other and corporate do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting.

On December 1, 2022, the indenture related to our 2030 Senior Notes was amended and supplemented to add Weatherford International, LLC (“Weatherford Delaware”) as co-issuer and co-obligor, and concurrently release the guarantee of Weatherford Delaware. In the second quarter of 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased $27 million and $61 million in principal, respectively, of our 2030 Senior Notes. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value represents the remaining unpaid principal of $1.54 billion, offset by unamortized deferred issuance cost of $10 million. At December 31, 2024, the carrying value represented the remaining principal of $1.6 billion, offset by unamortized deferred issuance cost of $11 million.

Weatherford Bermuda, Weatherford Delaware, Weatherford Canada Ltd. (“Weatherford Canada”) and WOFS International Finance GmbH (“Weatherford Switzerland”), together as borrowers, and the Company as parent, have an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and certain of our subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal property of the Company and those subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2025, we hadzero borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $412 million of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit consisted of $253 million for performance letters of credit, $6 million for financial letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and $153 million letters of credit under various uncommitted bi-lateral facilities ($48 million of which was cash collateral held and recorded in “Restricted Cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).
As of December 31, 2024, we hadzero borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $382 million of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit consisted of $279 million for performance letters of credit, $12 million for financial letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and $91 million letters of credit under various uncommitted bi-lateral facilities ($49 million of which was cash collateral held and recorded in “Restricted Cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).
Fair Value
The fair value of our long-term debt fluctuates with changes in applicable interest rates among other factors. Fair value will exceed carrying value when the current market interest rate is lower than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued and will be less than the carrying value when the market rate is greater than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued. The fair value of our long-term debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is established based on observable inputs in less active markets. The table below presents the fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt (excluding finance leases).
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Dollars in millions) | Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value |
| 8.625% Senior Notes due 2030 | $1,526 | $1,584 | $1,586 | $1,650 |
| Long-Term Debt (excluding Finance Leases) | $1,526 | $1,584 | $1,586 | $1,650 |
8 – Disputes, Litigation and Legal Contingencies
We are subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of the nature of our business. We have certain claims, disputes and pending litigation for which we do not believe a negative outcome is probable or for which we can only estimate a range of liability. It is possible, however, that an unexpected judgment could be rendered against us, or we could decide to resolve a case or cases, which would result in a liability that could be uninsured and beyond the amounts we currently have reserved and in some cases those losses could be material. If one or more negative outcomes were to occur relative to these cases, the aggregate impact to our financial condition could be material.
9 – Shareholders’ Equity
Shares issued and outstanding on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets decreased from 72.1 million as of December 31, 2024 to 71.8 million as of June 30, 2025. The decrease was due to the cancellation of 1.6 million of our ordinary shares repurchased for $87 million. The decrease was partially offset by the issuance of 1.3 million of our ordinary shares for equity awards vested and delivered, net of shares withheld for taxes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we declared and paid $36 million in dividends and accrued an immaterial amount of dividend equivalent rights on share-based awards.

10 – Income per Share
A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share calculation was as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net Income Attributable to Weatherford | $136 | $125 | $212 | $237 |
| Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding | 72.2 | 73.2 | 72.7 | 73.1 |
| Dilutive Effect of Awards Granted in Stock Incentive Plan | 0.2 | 2.1 | 0.2 | 1.9 |
| Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding | 72.4 | 75.3 | 72.9 | 75.0 |
| Basic Income per Share | $1.87 | $1.71 | $2.91 | $3.25 |
| Diluted Income per Share | $1.87 | $1.66 | $2.90 | $3.16 |
| Antidilutive Weighted Average Shares: | ||||
| Equity Awards | 0.7 | 0.5 | 0.6 | 0.5 |
| Total Antidilutive Weighted Average Shares | 0.7 | 0.5 | 0.6 | 0.5 |
Basic income per share for all periods presented equals net income divided by our weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income available to shareholders by our weighted average shares outstanding during the period including potential dilutive ordinary shares. Anti-dilutive weighted average shares represent securities that could potentially dilute income per share in the future, and are excluded from the computation of income per share.
11 – Income Taxes
We recognized a tax expense of $46 million and $56 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2024 where we recognized a tax expense of $73 million and $132 million, respectively. Income tax expense was lower in thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to decreased earnings before taxes and the recognition of a benefit from previously uncertain tax positions of $26 million recognized in the first quarter of 2025. We calculate our income tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 740 - Income Taxes.
The relationship between our pre-tax income or loss and our income tax provision or benefit varies from period to period due to various factors which include changes in total pre-tax income or loss, the jurisdictions in which our income is earned, the tax laws in those jurisdictions and in our operating structure. We provide for income taxes based on the laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we or our subsidiaries are considered residents for income tax purposes. Our income tax provisions are primarily driven by income in certain jurisdictions and withholding taxes on intercompany and third-party transactions that do not directly correlate to ordinary income or loss. Certain charges and impairments recognized do not result in a significant tax benefit as a result of being attributed to a non-income tax jurisdiction or our inability to forecast realization of the tax benefit of such losses. This is partially offset by the utilization of previously unbenefited deferred tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards.
We routinely undergo tax examination in various jurisdictions. We cannot predict the timing or outcome regarding resolution of these tax examinations or if they will have a material impact on our financial statements. As of June 30, 2025, we anticipate that it is reasonably possible that our uncertain tax positions of $268 million, including interest and penalties offset by net operating losses and other tax attributes if settled, may decrease by up to $91 million in the next twelve months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, settlements and/or conclusions of tax examinations.
On July 4, 2025 the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was enacted in the United States. The bill is expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company through tax savings.
12 – Credit Default Swap
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into a credit default swap (“CDS”) with a third-party financial institution terminating in September of 2026 related to a secured loan between that third-party financial institution and our largest customer in Mexico. The secured loan was utilized by this customer to pay certain of our outstanding receivables and accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we received $25 million.
Under the terms of the CDS, within five business days upon notification of a default by the customer, we could be required to pay the then outstanding notional balance net of recoveries. As of June 30, 2025, we had a notional balance of $20 million outstanding under the CDS and as of December 31, 2024, we had a notional balance of $25 million outstanding. The fair value of the derivative was not material as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
A CDS was entered into during the fourth quarter of 2023 with the same parties for similar reasons as in the fourth quarter of 2024, and accordingly, in the first quarter of 2024, we received $142 million. The agreement was terminated in the third quarter of 2024, extinguishing the remaining notional balance.
13 – Blue Chip Swap Securities - Argentina
The functional currency for our Argentine operations is the U.S. dollar and we use Argentina’s official exchange rate to remeasure our Argentine peso-denominated net monetary assets into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date. The Central Bank of Argentina has maintained certain currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. As such, we have used an indirect foreign exchange mechanism known as a Blue Chip Swap (“BCS”) which allows entities to remit U.S. dollars from Argentina through the purchase and sale of securities. During the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, we completed a series of BCS transactions at implied exchange rates that were approximately 1% and 26% higher, respectively, than the official exchange rate, resulting in a loss of $1 million and $10 million, respectively. We continue to use the official exchange rate for remeasurement of our Argentine peso-denominated net monetary assets under U.S. GAAP as the BCS rates do not meet the criteria for remeasurement under U.S. GAAP.
14 – Subsequent Events
On July 17, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share of the Company’s ordinary shares, payable on September 4, 2025 to shareholders of record as of August 6, 2025.
