HOUSTON, Texas (July 28, 2016) – Baker Hughes Incorporated (NYSE: BHI) announced today results for the second quarter of 2016.
“Our second quarter results reflect the actions we have taken to strengthen our business in light of the difficult conditions our industry faces. During the quarter, we made significant progress in our plan to reduce costs, optimize our capital structure, and build on our strength as a product innovator that solves customers’ toughest challenges through leading technology,” said Martin Craighead, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“After we outlined our path forward in early May, we took swift and decisive measures to improve our financial and competitive performance. We simplified our organizational structure to closely align with our commercial strategy and fortified our core operations, while laying the groundwork to develop a broader range of sales channels for our products. We took steps to right-size our asset base and implemented cost reductions that put us on track to achieve our $500 million annualized savings target by year end. We also are well down the path in our plan to optimize our capital structure. During the quarter, we completed debt purchases of $1 billion, repurchased shares of $500 million—one-third of our announced buyback program, and refinanced our $2.5 billion credit facility. I am extremely pleased with our progress and, while we have more work ahead of us, the Baker Hughes team is focused on execution and delivering on our commitments to customers and shareholders.
“In the midst of these structural changes, and while we are facing an extremely tough market environment, I am encouraged to see that our second quarter revenue declined only 10% sequentially despite a 19% drop in the global rig count. The decrease in revenue is driven primarily by a continued steep decline in activity and pricing pressure, mainly in the Eastern Hemisphere. Operational losses for the quarter increased sequentially as a result of inventory write-downs, provisions for doubtful accounts—primarily in Ecuador, and valuation allowances on indirect taxes. Cash flows from operating activities for the quarter were $3.6 billion, largely as a result of collecting the merger termination fee.

“In the second half of 2016, excluding the seasonality in Canada, we do not expect activity in North America to meaningfully increase, as our customer community requires a more sustained oil price improvement before committing to any material increase in spending. On the other hand, activity internationally is expected to continue to decline in most countries, with a steeper decline in markets with higher lifting costs. As a consequence of this outlook, we expect pricing to remain challenging. Margins across all of our segments are expected to improve sequentially as we begin to see the full benefit of the restructuring actions taken this quarter.
“Although we expect the market dynamics to remain challenging near term, the structural changes we implemented this quarter have created a stronger foundation for delivering on our strategy. We have made significant progress in a short amount of time, and we remain focused on accelerating our momentum. We are more confident than ever that we have the right people, technology, and commercial strategy, and we remain steadfast in our efforts to increase returns through a disciplined approach to capital investment.”
2016 Second Quarter Results
Revenue for the quarter was $2.4 billion, a decrease of $262 million, or 10% sequentially. Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue is down $1.6 billion, or 39%. Revenue for the quarter continued to be impacted by activity declines in the market and increasing pricing pressures.
On a GAAP basis, net loss attributable to Baker Hughes for the second quarter was $911 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared to $981 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2016. The second quarter includes charges related to goodwill impairment, asset impairments, restructuring, and inventory, almost entirely offset by the merger termination fee paid to the Company by Halliburton as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement on April 30, 2016.
Adjusted net loss (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $392 million, or $0.90 per diluted share. Adjusted net loss excludes adjustments totaling $519 million after-tax ($1.18 per diluted share), which are net of the ($3.5) billion merger termination fee. A complete list of the adjusting items and associated reconciliation has been provided in Table 1a.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was ($150) million for the quarter, a decline of $258 million, or 239% sequentially, and down $609 million, or 133% compared to the second quarter of 2015. In addition to the decline from activity and pricing, adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by $166 million of provisions for doubtful accounts primarily in Ecuador—a $119 million sequential increase—and $45 million related to valuation allowances on indirect taxes.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $3.6 billion for the quarter, an increase of $3.7 billion sequentially and $3.0 billion year-over-year. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $3.6 billion, an increase of $3.7 billion sequentially and $3.2 billion year-over-year. These increases are driven primarily by Halliburton’s payment of the $3.5 billion termination fee.
For the quarter, capital expenditures were $70 million, a decrease of $16 million, or 19% sequentially, and down $188 million, or 73% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The reduction in capital expenditures is attributable to reduced activity levels and our continued focus on capital discipline. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter was $305 million, a decline of $49 million, or 14% sequentially, and down $129 million, or 30% compared to the same quarter last year. The decline in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily driven by asset impairments.
Corporate costs were $29 million, compared to $32 million in the prior quarter and $42 million in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year reduction in corporate costs is mainly due to workforce reductions and lower spending.

Income tax expense was $152 million for the quarter, an effective tax rate of (20%) compared to (59.8%) in the first quarter of 2016. As a result of geographic mix of earnings/losses, including the merger termination fee, goodwill impairment, asset impairment and restructuring charges, and other discrete tax items, our tax rate has been, and will continue to be, volatile until the market stabilizes.
North America
North America revenue of $668 million for the quarter decreased 18% sequentially. The decline was driven primarily by a steep drop in U.S. onshore activity and the seasonal decline in Canada as the rig count dropped an additional 35% compared to the prior quarter average. Revenue also was impacted by share reductions in onshore pressure pumping driven by efforts to reduce losses related to unsustainable pricing conditions. Although revenue in the region was impacted by price erosion, the company believes there are indications that pricing has reached bottom in many basins.
Operating loss before tax for the second quarter was $311 million, an $86 million increase compared to the prior quarter. The increase was driven primarily by the sharp reduction in revenue and $209 million in inventory adjustments. The increase was partially offset by the reversal of a $51 million loss on a firm purchase commitment recorded in the prior quarter, and initial savings from the restructuring efforts, including lower depreciation and amortization from impairments.
Adjusted operating loss before tax (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes the inventory adjustments and the reversal of the loss on the firm purchase commitment, was $153 million for the second quarter, a $21 million improvement compared to the prior quarter.
Latin America
Latin America revenue of $235 million declined 15% sequentially against the backdrop of an 18% rig count reduction. The decline in revenue was driven mainly by activity reductions in offshore Mexico and reduced revenue in Ecuador, where the company substantially decreased activity with a local customer until outstanding collections are resolved.
Operating loss before tax for the second quarter was $243 million, an increase of $177 million compared to the prior quarter. The increase was driven by $88 million of additional provisions for doubtful accounts, mostly related to reserving all outstanding receivables associated with the customer in Ecuador, and $88 million of inventory adjustments.
Adjusted operating loss before tax (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes the inventory adjustments, was $155 million for the second quarter, an $89 million increase compared to the prior quarter.
Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian
Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian revenue of $581 million for the quarter decreased 5% sequentially, primarily as a result of reduced activity and price deterioration in North Africa, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and Angola, as customers reduced spending on higher-cost projects. Conversely, revenue sequentially was favorably impacted by foreign exchange rates, particularly for the Russian Ruble and European currencies, and increased activity in Norway.
Operating loss before tax for the second quarter was $257 million, an increase of $238 million compared to the prior quarter. Beyond the impact from activity and pricing, the increase was driven by $152 million of inventory adjustments, $38 million of valuation allowances on indirect taxes in Africa, and $14 million in additional provisions for doubtful accounts.

Adjusted operating loss before tax (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes the inventory adjustments, was $105 million for the second quarter, an $86 million increase compared to the prior quarter.
Middle East/Asia Pacific
Middle East/Asia Pacific revenue of $651 million for the quarter declined 9% sequentially. The reduction in revenue was driven primarily by reduced activity in Asia Pacific, especially in Australia where the rig count dropped 46% sequentially. Revenue also was negatively impacted by unfavorable pricing across the region.
Operating loss before tax for the second quarter was $142 million, a decline in profitability of $191 million compared to operating profit before tax of $49 million in the prior quarter. In addition to the impact of reduced activity and price deterioration, the sequential change was a result of $125 million of inventory adjustments and $11 million of additional provisions for doubtful accounts and valuation allowances on indirect taxes.
Adjusted operating loss before tax (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes the inventory adjustments, was $17 million for the second quarter, a reduction in profitability of $66 million compared to adjusted operating profit before tax of $49 million in the prior quarter.
Industrial Services
Industrial Services revenue of $273 million for the quarter increased 11% sequentially. The increase in revenue was mainly a result of the seasonal rise in activity in the pipeline inspection and maintenance business.
Operating loss before tax for the second quarter was $43 million, an increase of $39 million compared to the prior quarter. The increase was driven by $47 million of inventory adjustments and $7 million of provisions for doubtful accounts. These losses were partially offset by increased profits from the seasonal increase in activity.
Adjusted operating profit before tax (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes the inventory adjustments, was $4 million, an improvement of $8 million compared to adjusted operating loss before tax of $4 million in the prior quarter.

Table 1b: Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following table reconciles net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the directly comparable financial result determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), to free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure). Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities less expenditures for capital assets plus proceeds from disposal of assets. Management is providing this measure because it believes that such measure is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of liquidity. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

Innovations to Earnings
The following section provides operational and technical highlights outlining the successes aligned to our strategy.
Efficient Well Construction
Baker Hughes helps major North Sea operator reduce well construction time. Following the award of a major integrated drilling and well services contract by a North Sea operator in 2015, Baker Hughes began drilling two months ahead of schedule in March of this year. By the end of June, Baker Hughes had drilled and completed the first three wells in record time.
Baker Hughes wins significant five-year, 700-well drilling contract in Kuwait. The contract includes the company’s directional drilling services, logging-while-drilling services, measurement-while-drilling services, and associated services. The contract also includes provisions for a one-year extension.
Baker Hughes wins three-year drill bits consignment contract in India. Baker Hughes will provide Kymera™ hybrid drill bits, Talon™ polycrystalline diamond compact drill bits, and Vanguard™ tricone roller cone drill bits on consignment to a large operator for 12 assets across the country.
Baker Hughes achieves milestone AutoTrak™ V vertical rotary steerable system run in challenging gas field in Oman. Baker Hughes reliably controlled deviations while drilling a 12 ¼-in. vertical section using its AutoTrak™ V vertical rotary steerable system (RSS), improving operations and reducing costs for the operator. The section was completed in one run with 442 circulating hours, a new milestone for the system. Based on the successful, cost-efficient run, Baker Hughes has become the vertical RSS provider of choice. The operator also selected Baker Hughes to conduct a drilling optimization study for a major gas field, including six horizontal gas wells to be drilled using Baker Hughes’ integrated drilling services.
Baker Hughes wins major coiled tubing contract in the North Sea. Baker Hughes was awarded a substantial five-year coiled tubing contract, which includes nitrogen pumping, acid placement, chemical treatments, and other related services, for a major North Sea operator. Operations are expected to commence in August 2016.
Baker Hughes wins multi-year completions contracts in Southeast Asia. Baker Hughes secured a three-year contract representing a 40% share of the Pan Malaysia completions contract in Southeast Asia. Additionally, in Thailand, Baker Hughes was awarded a three-year contract for its Mono-Trip CemenThru™ completions system. The awards were based on flawless execution and differentiating technology applied in previous operations.
Baker Hughes wins completions services contract in Kazakhstan. The significant five-year contract includes 40 new wells and up to 25 workover-associated remedial operations. The win displaces competitors and establishes Baker Hughes as the leader in a prominent segment in the East Caspian region.
Optimizing Well Production and Increasing Ultimate Recovery
Baker Hughes wins two-year intelligent production systems contract for ultradeepwater project in Brazil. A major operator has awarded Baker Hughes a contract for 36 intelligent production systems (IPS). The award solidifies the company’s leadership in IPS, which is key to developing ultradeepwater fields and maintaining production targets.
Baker Hughes secures artificial lift systems contracts and achieves double-digit share gains in the Canadian SAGD market. Baker Hughes was awarded a three-year contract for 80% of the electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems for two SAGD projects and a second contract for 200 ESP systems to be delivered in 2016 for two additional projects. This is on the heels of a three-year contract win in the first quarter of 2016 for 70% of the ESP systems required

for a third customer’s project. Operators chose Baker Hughes based on superior customer service, flawless field execution, and continual technology innovations.
Baker Hughes wins three-year contract for strategic artificial lift progressing cavity pump (PCP) systems in Oman. Baker Hughes will supply 90 PCPs to an operator in Oman. The win expands Baker Hughes’ footprint in the country and demonstrates the strength of its artificial lift technologies.
Baker Hughes wins deepwater production chemicals contracts. The operator of a deepwater asset in offshore Malaysia awarded Baker Hughes a contract for the supply of water injection chemicals and related services. Baker Hughes will provide X-CIDE™ biocides, oxygen scavengers, calcium nitrate, antifoamers, scale inhibitors, and other related chemicals and equipment as required. Additionally, the company was awarded a contract for the supply of corrosion inhibitors for three deepwater fields offshore Angola. Baker Hughes received the contract after the recommended CRONOX™ corrosion inhibitors were ranked #1 for technical performance among several other competitive products.
Baker Hughes wins production chemicals and services contract for North American enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project. Baker Hughes was awarded a three-year contract to supply production chemicals and related services to a field undergoing EOR in North America. The in-depth chemical offering will include the company’s CRONOX™ corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, biocides, asphaltene inhibitors and dispersants, cleaning agents for surface treatment, and TRETOLITE™ fluids separation technologies.
Baker Hughes wins major process and pipeline services contracts for Australia’s Ichthys field. The company was awarded multiple contracts to provide pipeline pre-commissioning and nitrogen leak-testing services for a significant natural gas project in Australia. Located 220 kilometers offshore Western Australia, Ichthys is one of the region’s largest hydrocarbon discoveries. Operations have commenced for the company and are expected to continue through 2017.
Major operator extends chemicals contract with Baker Hughes in North America. Baker Hughes was awarded a five-year extension for its process chemicals, water treatment, and finished fuel treatment applications at a refinery in North America.
