HOUSTON, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ:WFRD) ("Weatherford" or the "Company") announced today its results for the third quarter of 2021.

Third quarter 2021 revenues were $945 million, an increase of 5% sequentially and 17% year-on-year. Third quarter 2021 operating income was $71 million compared to operating income of $25 million in the second quarter of 2021 and an operating loss of $60 million in the third quarter of 2020. Third quarter 2021 net loss was $95 million compared to $78 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $174 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Third quarter 2021 cash flows provided by operations were $114 million compared to $46 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $127 million in the third quarter of 2020. Capital expenditures were $20 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $9 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $27 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Third quarter 2021:

Adjusted EBITDA^[1] of $179 million, an increase of 32% sequentially and 72% year-over-year
Unlevered free cash flow^[1] of $141 million, a decrease of $24 million sequentially and an increase of $34 million year-over-year
Free cash flow of $111 million, an increase of $63 million sequentially and $6 million year-on-year

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our third quarter results reflect our commitment to continually driving positive operating performance, despite this being a quarter of negative weather impacts and rising inflation. Our strategic initiatives continue to guide our progress as we continue to make improvements across all focus areas, including North American profitability, global inventory utilization, and capital structure improvements.

"The third quarter performance clearly demonstrates the advancement of our strategic imperatives. We remain intent on institutionalizing improvements into our business processes, while retaining the ability to capture activity increases at greater fall through margins, as evidenced by the outstanding EBITDA performance. Our product and service portfolio continued to prove its strength with record-breaking accomplishments. Our market-leading product lines, including MPD and TRS, enabled us to drive synergies across our portfolio and carve out the unique value of integrating our offerings, as evidenced, this quarter in the United Kingdom and Mexico.

"In the third quarter, we broadened the influence of our strategic vectors of digitalization and energy transition, as we saw increased uptake of our ForeSite suite, with an award in the Middle East and expansion in Latin America. Further, we showcased our innovation in the geothermal space by applying MPD technology and expertise.

"We ended the third quarter of 2021 with ample liquidity after generating $111 million of positive free cash flow, resulting from improved operating performance, and disciplined capital allocation and expenditures.

"As always, we remain committed to driving sustainable profitability and free cash flow generation. The execution of the restructuring and refinancing of our debt is a significant step in the evolution of our capital structure and addressing its inefficiencies. Paying down $200 million of our Exit Notes demonstrates our continued commitment to that priority. As we move forward, we will remain focused on generating additional liquidity through operational and structural improvements with the goal of further improving our leverage."

Notes:

^[1]EBITDA represents income before interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment, bond redemption and loss on termination of ABL credit agreement, income tax, depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes, among other items, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, restructuring expense, share-based compensation expense, as well as write-offs of property plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and inventory. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Unlevered free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow plus cash paid for interest. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

Operational Highlights

Integrated Services enhanced synergies between marketing-leading product lines and other Weatherford offerings to condense operating timelines in the United Kingdom and Mexico. The integration enabled delivering early production of 97,000 barrels in a new field development in Mexico and drilling three challenging well sections in the North Sea 13 days ahead of the customer's schedule.
Weatherford delivered managed pressure drilling (MPD) solutions that improved well construction performance for various operators. In Nigeria, Victus™ intelligent MPD enabled controlling an unexpected kick (an uncontrolled well event) 90% faster than conventional detection systems and helped to reach total depth. In the Middle East, MPD technologies enabled an operator to successfully drill, complete, and cement a well after considering abandonment due to complex challenges.
A Weatherford geosteering solution, featuring our rotary steerable and GuideWave® technology, achieved the longest horizontal section ever drilled in a country in the Middle East. The solution enabled drilling through a narrow pay interval to drill the record 4,528-feet lateral with flawless performance.
Weatherford performed a world-first shallow-angle sidetrack in 9 5/8-in. casing using QuickCut™ milling technology by cutting a window in a single-trip enabling the operator to reach the intended target zone in an exploration well in Indonesia.
An operator in the Middle East awarded Weatherford a multimillion-dollar contract for artificial lift services based on our reliability, experience, and service quality.
For a national oil company in the Middle East, Weatherford achieved another record with the longest liner installation in the region saving more than three days and simplifying the well architecture.

Technology Deployment

In Kazakhstan, Weatherford debuted the PressurePro® MPD control system, which provided real-time information to successfully drill the reservoir section and provided insights to optimize future well designs.
As evidence of the ongoing expansion of Vero® automated connection integrity, Weatherford deployed the technology for five customers across four countries in Europe and Africa, with one international oil company in West Africa electing to continue Vero services after the initial technology trial period ended.

Liquidity

The Company maintained its disciplined focus on liquidity during the third quarter of 2021. Unlevered free cash flow of $141 million in the third quarter of 2021 improved by $34 million versus the third quarter of 2020, on a 72% increase in adjusted EBITDA. This is a result of the Company's improved operating performance and disciplined capital expenditures. Third quarter 2021 free cash flow of $111 million improved by $6 million year-on-year and was up $63 million sequentially. Total cash of approximately $1.45 billion as of September 30, 2021, was up $59 million from the prior quarter.
