Weatherford: ReStructures Under 3 Business Lines – Drilling and Evaluation, Well Construction and Completions and Production and Intervention

Weatherford International plc announced today a segment recast by quarter for the full year 2020 and through the third quarter of 2021.

Effective the fourth quarter of 2021, Weatherford realigned its reporting structure to three product line segments (1) Drilling and Evaluation (2) Well Construction and Completions, and (3) Production and Intervention. The updated structure further refines the Company’s organizational focus and business strategy around the well life cycle and is intended to drive improved customer collaboration and growth opportunities. All segments provide services to core oil and gas as well as new energy markets.

As a result, beginning with the announcement of the Company’s fourth quarter of 2021 results and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Weatherford will report its results in these three reportable segments. All other segments, corporate and other expenses that do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting will be combined and reported separately. Additionally, we have changed our primary measure of segment profitability to be segment adjusted EBITDA, which is based on segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense and other adjustments. The change in segment reporting had no impact on the Company’s consolidated revenue, income before taxes, net income, or earnings per share for any period.

Girish K. Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The alignment of our management strategy and reporting structure allows us to further drive organizational priorities into our operating processes. Our market leading product lines in each segment are a testament to the technology innovation and differentiation we provide and will serve as a foundation to drive growth and pull through across our portfolio. Additionally, the seamless integration of our digital offerings and ability to provide integrated solutions across our segments will be key to growth in our core operations and in the energy transition”.

The Company’s three product line divisions are comprised of the following services and products:

Drilling and Evaluation (“DRE”) offers a suite of services including managed pressure drilling, drilling services, wireline and drilling fluids.
