HOUSTON, Texas (April 27, 2016) – Baker Hughes Incorporated (NYSE: BHI) announced today results for the first quarter of 2016.
“During the quarter, the industry faced another precipitous decline in activity, exceeding even the most pessimistic predictions, as E&P companies further cut spending in an effort to protect cash flows,” said Martin Craighead, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As a result of this steep decrease in customer spending, our revenue for the first quarter was down 21% sequentially. Compared to the prior year, revenue declined 42%, driven by lower activity as evident by the 41% global rig count drop, reduced pricing across most markets, and the strategic decision to continue limiting our exposure to unprofitable onshore pressure pumping business in North America.
“Despite the severity of these headwinds, decremental operating margins sequentially and year-over-year were contained to 28% and 13%, respectively. Although we have taken significant actions to manage our cost structure during the downturn, we are retaining costs in our operating profit margins in compliance with the merger agreement. Additionally, the unique circumstances in which we are operating limit our ability to consider and action a broader range of measures required to align the company with the current and near-term market conditions.
“In North America, revenue declined 28% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven primarily by reduced U.S. onshore activity and the associated price erosion. Additionally, due to the unsustainable pricing in onshore pressure pumping, we continue to limit the pursuit of certain opportunities as we strive for cash-flow-positive operations in this business. In spite of the drop in revenue, decremental operating margins of 15% were achieved in the region as a result of cost-saving measures and lower depreciation expense from prior-year impairments. Internationally, revenue fell 19% sequentially for the quarter as activity declined significantly in important markets for us, such as Brazil, Southeast Asia, North Sea, West Africa, and Argentina. The reduction in revenue was exacerbated by unfavorable product mix and pricing, and resulted in a contraction of our international margins.
“In the second quarter, we forecast the North America rig count to fall 30% compared to the first quarter average. For the second half of the year, we project the U.S. rig count will begin to stabilize, although we do not expect activity to meaningfully increase in 2016. Conversely, the international rig count is predicted to drop steadily through the end of the year as we see limited new projects in the pipeline.

“In this environment, helping our customers maximize production while lowering overall costs is more critical than ever before. Our products and services put us in a remarkable position to lower the cost of well construction, optimize well production, and increase ultimate recovery as we continue to leverage opportunities to convert our capabilities into earnings.”
2016 First Quarter Results
Revenue for the quarter was $2.7 billion, a decrease of $724 million, or 21% sequentially, and down $1.9 billion, or 42% compared to the first quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $108 million for the quarter, a decrease of $268 million, or 71% sequentially, and down $350 million, or 76% compared to the first quarter of 2015.
On a GAAP basis, net loss attributable to Baker Hughes for the first quarter was $981 million, or $2.22 per diluted share. Included in our net income was tax valuation allowances of $502 million ($1.14 per diluted share), adjusting items of $280 million after-tax ($0.64 per diluted share) and merger retained costs in excess of $110 million after-tax ($0.25 per diluted share).
Adjusted net loss (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $701 million, or $1.58 per diluted share. Adjusted net loss excludes impairment and restructuring charges of $145 million after-tax ($0.33 per diluted share), merger and related costs of $92 million after-tax ($0.21 per diluted share), and a loss on a firm purchase commitment of $43 million after-tax ($0.10 per diluted share). These adjustments total $280 million after-tax ($0.64 per diluted share).
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was ($103) million. Excluding merger-related and restructuring payments of $296 million, free cash flow was $193 million for the quarter.
For the quarter, capital expenditures were $86 million, a decrease of $128 million, or 60% sequentially, and down $229 million, or 73% compared to the first quarter of 2015. The reduction in capital expenditures is attributable to lower activity levels and our continued focus on capital discipline. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter was $354 million, a decline of $62 million, or 15% sequentially, and down $106 million, or 23% compared to the same quarter last year. The decline in depreciation and amortization is primarily related to the prior-year impairment and restructuring actions.
Corporate costs were $32 million, compared to $29 million in the prior quarter and $49 million in the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year reduction in corporate costs is mainly due to workforce reductions and lower spend.
Income tax expense for the quarter of $367 million includes $502 million of valuation allowances recorded primarily against U.S. and non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, given the uncertainty as to when, or if, in certain jurisdictions, we will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize such carryforwards and other deferred tax assets in light of the prolonged downturn.
North America
North America revenue of $819 million for the quarter decreased 28% sequentially. The decline was driven primarily by a steep drop in U.S. onshore activity as the rig count dropped 26% compared to the prior quarter. Revenue also was impacted by share losses in onshore pressure pumping as we strive for cash-flow-positive operations in unsustainable market conditions, and increased pricing pressure, mainly in the completion and production product lines. Activity also declined in Canada, as evident in the 6% sequential rig count drop, as most projects remain uneconomical at current oil prices.

North America adjusted operating profit margin (a non-GAAP measure) was (21.2%) for the first quarter, compared to (11.2%) in the prior quarter. Despite the erosion of margins driven by the sharp decline in activity and an increasingly unfavorable pricing environment, a sequential 15% decremental operating margin was achieved as a result of ongoing cost reduction measures, lower depreciation and amortization from prior-year impairments, and reduced liquidated damages and other costs related to sand supply contracts.
Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue declined 59% as a result of a steep drop in activity, as reflected in the 58% year-over-year rig count decline, and deteriorating pricing conditions as operators further adjust their spending in 2016. All product lines have been unfavorably impacted by the activity drop, with production chemicals, deepwater operations, and artificial lift showing the most resilience. Revenue also has been impacted by onshore pressure pumping share reductions. Year-over-year operating margins decreased from (2.5%) in the prior year to (21.2%) in the current year as a result of reduced activity and ongoing price erosion. Actions taken to reduce operating costs, combined with reduced depreciation and amortization from the prior-year impairments, helped mitigate the impact on margins of the precipitous decline in revenue.
Latin America
First quarter revenue for Latin America was $277 million, down 35% sequentially. The decline in revenue was driven mainly by the steep activity reduction in offshore Brazil, Argentina, and the Andean area, as reflected in the 33% sequential rig count decline for these critical markets. Activity also declined in Mexico as a result of ongoing budgetary constraints in the country.
Adjusted operating profit margin for Latin America for the quarter was (23.8%), compared to 3.5% for the prior quarter. The sequential decrease in operating profit was driven by the abrupt reduction in activity and an unfavorable product mix as a result of lower activity in offshore and artificial lift markets. The current quarter included $42 million of provisions for doubtful accounts, mostly as a result of ongoing collection challenges from a cash-constrained customer in Ecuador, an $8 million increase from the prior quarter. Also, the first quarter results include an expense of $15 million related to local non-income taxes.
Compared to the prior year, revenue decreased 44%, primarily driven by activity declines, as evident in the 46% rig count drop, exclusive of Venezuela, where we have limited presence. Activity has declined swiftly across the entire region, with the Andean area experiencing the largest decline. Year over year, margins decreased from 9.1% in the first quarter of 2015 to (23.8%) in the current quarter. The impact on margins from lower revenue was exacerbated by an unfavorable product mix from reduced offshore and artificial lift activity. The first quarter of 2016 also included an additional $33 million of provisions for doubtful accounts and an expense of $15 million related to local non-income taxes, which have reduced the benefit of implemented cost reduction measures.
Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian
Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian revenue of $611 million for the quarter decreased 15% sequentially, primarily as a result of reduced activity and price deterioration in the North Sea and West Africa, as customers reduce spending. Revenue also was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange rates, particularly in the European and Russian currencies.
Adjusted operating profit margins were (3.1%) for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 6.6% for the prior quarter. In addition to reduced activity and pricing, margins were negatively impacted by an unfavorable product and geographic mix resulting from lower offshore activity in key markets. Margins for the quarter also were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange losses and provisions for doubtful accounts, which impacted margins by 260 bps.

Baker Hughes Announces First Quarter Results | |
Compared to the prior year, revenue declined $284 million, or 32%. The decrease can be attributed to activity reductions across all markets, primarily in West Africa, the UK, and Continental Europe; price deterioration throughout the region; and the unfavorable change in exchange rates, mainly in the European and Russian currencies. Year over year, margins decreased 88 bps, as the decline in operating profit from reduced activity and unfavorable pricing was entirely offset by improved profitability from implemented cost-saving actions and a $60 million decline in provisions for doubtful accounts, primarily in Africa.
Middle East/Asia Pacific
Middle East/Asia Pacific revenue of $718 million for the quarter declined 12% sequentially. The reduction in revenue is driven primarily by lower activity in Southeast Asia and Australia, where the rig count has dropped 18% compared to the prior quarter. Revenue was also negatively impacted by unfavorable pricing across the region.
Adjusted operating profit margin was 6.8%, a 304 bps improvement compared to the fourth quarter. Despite reduced activity and pricing, profit margins improved as a result of cost-saving measures implemented throughout the region and of prior-quarter one-time charges in Iraq and in Asia Pacific not repeating.
Compared to the prior year, revenue decreased $198 million, or 22%, predominantly as a result of reduced activity in Southeast Asia, Australia, and Iraq, and significant pricing pressure across the region. Year over year, margins remained unchanged, despite lower activity levels and unfavorable pricing, due to the benefit from cost-saving actions and from $22 million of provisions for doubtful accounts in the prior year that did not repeat in the current quarter.
Industrial Services
Industrial Services revenue of $245 million for the quarter decreased 14% sequentially. The decline in revenue was related mainly to ongoing project delays in the process and pipeline services business stemming from reduced customer spending associated with the lower commodity pricing environment. Revenue also was negatively impacted by the seasonal drop in activity that occurs in the first quarter.
Adjusted operating profit margins were (1.6%), compared to 7.7% in the prior quarter. The decline in margins was attributable to the drop in activity and an increase in environmental costs.
Compared to the prior year, revenue decreased 14% due to activity declines across all business lines as a result of customers reducing spending and delaying projects. Revenue also was negatively impacted by pricing and the unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates. Year-over-year operating profit margins declined 515 bps from 3.5% in the prior year, due primarily to activity reductions and price concessions.

1 | Adjusted operating profit (loss) before tax is a non-GAAP measure defined as profit (loss) before tax less interest expense and certain identified costs. Adjusted operating profit before tax margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as adjusted operating profit (loss) before tax divided by revenue. Management uses each of these measures because it believes they are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and that these measures may be used by investors to make informed investment decisions. | |
2 | Beginning in 2016, we excluded merger and related costs from our operating segments. These costs are now presented as a separate line item in the consolidated condensed statement of income (loss). Prior-year merger and related costs have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. | |

Innovations to Earnings
The following section provides operational and technical highlights outlining the successes aligned to our strategy.
Efficient Well Construction
Baker Hughes saves trip costs with GaugePro™ concentric reamer for super major in Nigeria. A customer planned to drill the 12 ¼-in. x 14 ¾-in. hole section in three runs using a pilot bit and reamer. After the original service provider was unsuccessful, the customer awarded the work to Baker Hughes. Using the GaugePro™ XPR-D expandable reamer with premium cutter technology, Baker Hughes reamed the interval with minimal vibration to deliver a uniformly in-gauge hole.
Baker Hughes awarded drilling and completions fluids contracts in the Middle East. Baker Hughes won eight large awards ranging from specialty products, such as the PERFORMAX™ and MAXBRIDGE™ water-based systems, to commodity items, such as UNI-CAL™ CF chrome-free lignosulfonate. The award demonstrates Baker Hughes’ leading capabilities in reservoir remediation fluids and high-overbalance specialty water-based muds.
Baker Hughes achieves drilling record in U.S. Eagle Ford. After drilling more than a mile a day in one customer’s Northeast operations in 2014/15, the operator challenged Baker Hughes to drill at the same pace in its newly acquired Eagle Ford acreage. On the second well, more than a mile—5,633 ft (1717 m)—was drilled in a 24-hour period, averaging 5,559 ft (1694 m) per day throughout the lateral. The well was drilled using the AutoTrak™ Curve rotary steerable system with an Ultra MS motor and an AT 505F Baker Hughes bit. These marks established 24-hour drilling records for Baker Hughes; Webb County, Texas; and the customer.
Baker Hughes achieves drilling efficiencies in U.S. Gulf of Mexico. A Gulf of Mexico customer requested that Baker Hughes drill an 8,300-ft (2580-m) intermediate well section within seven days to avoid a separate trip for a BOP function test. Even with issues on the customer’s new rig that postponed the start of work for two days, Baker Hughes completed the well section with more than 24 hours to spare. The Kymera™ hybrid bit drilled at an average rate of penetration of 150 ft/hr (46 m/hr) and achieved large savings for the customer.
Baker Hughes sets presalt drilling record in Brazil’s Santos Basin. Baker Hughes has successfully drilled the fastest presalt well in the Santos Basin of Brazil. The well was drilled to the planned total depth of 16,486 ft (5025 m) with flawless execution and zero non-productive-time in only 25.3 days. To date, the Baker Hughes team has participated in the three fastest presalt wells and seven of the 10 fastest wells in the area.
Baker Hughes installs 18-stage completion in Argentinian unconventional well. Baker Hughes has successfully installed the first FracPoint™ cemented multipoint sleeve completion system in a shale oil well in Argentina. Baker Hughes deployed the 18-stage completion system by placing 54 clusters along 4,921 ft (1500 m) of lateral. The cemented sleeve should help protect the well against collapse during the stimulation phase. The customer plans to stimulate this well along with a parallel lateral to be completed using plug-and-perf technology and later compare the production results from the two wells.
Optimizing Well Production and Increasing Ultimate Recovery
Baker Hughes secures strategic artificial lift system awards in Russia. Baker Hughes was awarded a large share of a three-year high-temperature cable tender for the largest national oil company in Russia. In addition, Baker Hughes signed a five-year contract with the largest independent oil company in Sakhalin to provide electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems for water production. This project has an opportunity for extension and is the first artificial lift systems contract awarded to Baker Hughes by this customer. In addition, the contract awards Baker Hughes drilling services and drill bits work for 2016 and 2017.

Baker Hughes receives three-year production chemicals contract in Argentina. Baker Hughes was awarded a three-year contract to provide production chemicals and associated services to treat the produced water from Argentina’s Malargue field, south of the Mendoza province. This contract, which started in February, represents a strategic win that further supports the continued growth of upstream chemicals in Argentina.
Baker Hughes awarded demulsifier supply and related services in three offshore Congo fields. Baker Hughes recently was awarded a contract to supply TRETOLITE™ demulsifiers to three offshore Congo fields. The award to the first field was made after the Baker Hughes TRETOLITE demulsifier program improved performance over the incumbent’s treatment program. The operator later expanded the supply of TRETOLITE demulsifiers to two additional fields and expanded the application of the first field to include downhole and remote satellite applications.
Baker Hughes receives sole-source contract for all process chemicals, water treatment, and finished fuel additives. Baker Hughes was awarded an exclusive, multiyear, multimillion-dollar contract for all process chemicals, water treatment, and finished fuel additives at a northern California refinery. In addition to the benefits from the TOPGUARD™ corrosion risk monitor and VIVID™ smart controller for water treatment, the customer valued the downstream chemicals team's responsiveness and alignment with the customer’s priorities.
Baker Hughes wins reservoir simulation contract in Mexico’s Ayatsil-Tekel block. Baker Hughes secured a significant win to perform four projects in the shallow-water Ayatsil-Tekel block. The scope of the project includes performing a dynamic simulation on nine fields, developing a seismic interpretation and performing velocity modeling of high-resolution 3D seismic data, and constructing a fracture network analysis.

Additional Information
As previously announced in Baker Hughes’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 18, 2014, Baker Hughes and Halliburton Company (“Halliburton”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Baker Hughes will be merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halliburton (the “Merger”). In connection with this proposed Merger, Halliburton filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4, including Amendments No. 1 and 2 thereto, and a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus of Baker Hughes and Halliburton and other documents related to the proposed transaction. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 17, 2015, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus was mailed to stockholders of Baker Hughes and Halliburton.
On March 27, 2015, Halliburton’s stockholders approved the proposal to issue shares of Halliburton common stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, Baker Hughes’ stockholders adopted the Merger Agreement and thereby approved the proposed combination of the two companies. On July 10, 2015, Baker Hughes and Halliburton entered into a timing agreement with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the companies subsequently announced an amendment to the timing agreement on September 28, 2015. Pursuant to the amended timing agreement, both companies agreed to extend the period of the DOJ’s review of the Merger to the later of December 15, 2015, or 30 days following the date on which both companies have certified final, substantial compliance with the DOJ’s prior request for additional information under the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. On December 16, 2015, Baker Hughes’ and Halliburton’s timing agreement with the DOJ expired. On April 6, 2016, the DOJ filed suit seeking to permanently enjoin completion of the Merger. Baker Hughes and Halliburton previously agreed to extend the period for the parties to obtain required competition approvals to April 30, 2016, as permitted under the Merger Agreement. In addition, the transaction is still subject to regulatory approvals in

other countries and to customary closing conditions. If, as expected, the DOJ’s lawsuit and review by relevant competition authorities extends beyond April 30, 2016, the Merger Agreement does not terminate automatically; the parties may continue to defend against the DOJ’s lawsuit and seek relevant competition approvals or either of the parties may terminate the Merger Agreement. Baker Hughes cannot predict when, or if, the pending Merger will be completed.
