HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE )--Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today net income of $263 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2021 of $170 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2022, excluding impairments and other charges and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt, was $314 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. Halliburton’s total revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $4.3 billion compared to revenue of $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Reported operating income was $511 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to reported operating income of $370 million in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding impairments and other charges, adjusted operating income was $533 million in the first quarter of 2022.
“I am pleased with Halliburton’s first quarter results. Our performance demonstrated the resilience of our unique strategy in action and the importance of our competitive positioning both in North America and international markets.
“Total company revenue increased 24% and adjusted operating income grew 44% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Both of our divisions delivered strong margin performance despite weather and supply chain disruptions, with Drilling and Evaluation margin eclipsing 15% in the first quarter for the first time since 2010.
“We see significant tightness across the entire oil and gas value chain in North America. Supportive commodity prices and strengthening customer demand against an almost sold-out equipment market are expected to drive expansion in Completion and Production division margins.
“I expect our strong international business to increase throughout the remainder of the year. First quarter revenue growth in all our international regions together with North America demonstrates that this multi-year upcycle is well underway.
“I’m excited about the accelerating pace of global activity, pricing improvement, and Halliburton’s strong outlook. With our unique value proposition, clearly defined strategic priorities, leading technology portfolio, and global market presence, I expect Halliburton will deliver profitable growth, strong free cash flow and industry-leading returns,” concluded Miller.
Completion and Production revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $2.4 billion, an increase of $483 million, or 26%, when compared to the first quarter of 2021, while operating income was $296 million, an increase of $44 million, or 17%. These results were driven by increased pressure pumping services and artificial lift activity in the Western Hemisphere, higher completion tool sales throughout the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East, increased cementing activity in Africa and Middle East/Asia, and improved well intervention services in North America land and the Eastern Hemisphere. These improvements were partially offset by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Europe and lower completion tool sales throughout Asia.
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.9 billion, an increase of $350 million, or 22%, when compared to the first quarter of 2021, while operating income was $294 million, an increase of $123 million, or 72%. These results were due to increased drilling-related services globally, improved wireline activity in North America land, Latin America, and the Middle East, increased testing services internationally, and higher project management activity in Latin America, India, and Oman. Partially offsetting these increases were lower project management activity in Iraq, as well as lower fluid services in the Caribbean, Brunei, and Mozambique.
North America revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.9 billion, a 37% increase when compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily driven by increased pressure pumping activity and drilling-related services in North America land, higher stimulation, artificial lift, and drilling-related activity in Canada, and higher completion tool sales in the Gulf of Mexico. These increases were partially offset by reduced fluid services in the Gulf of Mexico.
International revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $2.4 billion, a 15% increase when compared to the first quarter of 2021. This improvement was primarily driven by increased activity across multiple product service lines in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Egypt, increased drilling-related activity in Europe/Africa/CIS and Latin America, improved well construction services in the Middle East, Colombia, and West Africa, increased testing services in all regions, and higher completion tool sales throughout the Middle East and Latin America. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced activity across multiple product service lines in the United Kingdom and lower completion tool sales in Norway and throughout Asia.
Latin America revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $653 million, a 22% increase year over year due to improved activity across multiple product service lines in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, increased well construction services in Colombia, higher completion tool sales in Guyana, improved project management activity in Ecuador and Colombia, increased testing services and wireline activity across the region, and increased artificial lift activity in Ecuador. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced fluid services in the Caribbean and lower project management and stimulation activity in Mexico.
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $677 million, a 7% increase year over year. This improvement was primarily driven by higher activity across multiple product service lines in Egypt, increased drilling-related activity in Azerbaijan, increased well intervention and testing services across the region, improved well construction services in West Africa, and higher completion tool sales and cementing activity in Angola. These increases were partially offset by reduced activity across multiple product service lines in the United Kingdom, reduced well construction services and completion tool sales in Norway, and decreased fluid services in Mozambique.
Middle East/Asia revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.0 billion, a 17% increase year over year, primarily resulting from improved well construction services in Saudi Arabia and Oman, increased wireline activity and completion tool sales in the Middle East, and increased testing services across the region. These increases were partially offset by reduced project management activity in Iraq, lower completion tool sales throughout Asia, decreased fluid services in Brunei, and lower stimulation activity in Bangladesh.

Reconciliation of As Reported Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income
Total impairments and other charges (a)
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Halliburton recorded $22 million of impairments and other charges, primarily related to our assets in Ukraine.
Management believes that operating income adjusted for impairments and other charges for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes operating income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustments remove the effect of these items. Adjusted operating income is calculated as: “As reported operating income” plus "Total impairments and other charges" for the respective periods.

The tax benefit in the table above includes the tax effect on the loss on early extinguishment of debt and impairments and other charges, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, based on improved market conditions, Halliburton recognized a $504 million tax benefit, primarily associated with a partial release of a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.
Management believes that net income adjusted for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments and other charges, and the tax benefit is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes net income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance to identify underlying trends in the business and to establish operational goals. Total adjustments remove the effect of these items. Adjusted net income attributable to company is calculated as: “As reported net income attributable to company” plus "Total adjustments, net of taxes" for the respective periods.
As reported net income per diluted share is calculated as: "As reported net income attributable to company" divided by "Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding." Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated as: "Adjusted net income attributable to company" divided by "Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding."
Reconciliation of Cash Flows from Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow
Total cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities
Proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment
The Free Cash Flow metric is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated as “Total cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities” less “Capital expenditures” plus “Proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment.” Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a key measure to assess liquidity of the business and is consistent with the disclosures of our direct, large-cap competitors.
