Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 21 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | +2.8% | Q3 revenue and EBITDA with financing actions, ratings upgrades, and dividend. |
| Jul 22 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | +4.8% | Q2 results showing solid EBITDA, cash flow, and shareholder returns. |
| Apr 22 | Q1 2025 earnings | Negative | -7.2% | Q1 declines in revenue, operating income, and net income amid soft markets. |
| Feb 05 | FY 2024 results | Neutral | +0.2% | Q4 softness but full-year 2024 growth and strong international performance. |
| Jul 23 | Q2 2024 earnings | Positive | -9.2% | Strong Q2 2024 growth and launch of shareholder return program. |
Earnings reactions have mostly aligned with the tone of results, with four aligned moves and one notable selloff on otherwise strong Q2 2024 numbers.
Across recent earnings releases, Weatherford has reported softening activity and year-over-year revenue declines through 2025, including Q1–Q3 results with lower income and margins. Nevertheless, prior quarters still generated solid adjusted EBITDA, cash flow, and consistent shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks. The current Q4 and full-year 2025 report continues the theme of sequential improvement but weaker year-over-year metrics, while also reinforcing the capital return framework with a dividend increase and ongoing contract wins.
Historical Comparison
Past earnings headlines for WFRD produced an average move of 4.81%, with mostly aligned reactions and one notable selloff on strong Q2 2024 results; today’s earnings fit into a pattern of significant but not extreme post-report volatility.
Earnings updates from Q4 2024 through Q4 2025 show a shift from prior-year growth to 2025 revenue and income declines, while maintaining solid adjusted EBITDA, cash generation, and growing shareholder returns via dividends and repurchases.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement detailed Q4 2025 results with revenue of $1,289 million and strong sequential growth in net income, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow, alongside full-year 2025 declines versus 2024. Management emphasized resilient execution, extensive contract wins across regions and a 10% dividend increase to $0.275 per share. Historically, earnings releases produced average moves of 4.81%, so investors may watch future quarters for revenue stabilization, margin trends and sustained free cash flow to gauge the durability of the strategy.

| Non-GAAP Financial Measures Defined (Unaudited) |
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K) may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods and comparisons with peer companies. The non-GAAP amounts shown in the following tables should not be considered as substitutes for results reported in accordance with GAAP but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA* - Adjusted EBITDA* is a non-GAAP measure and represents consolidated income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and excludes, among other items, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, as well as other charges and credits. Management believes adjusted EBITDA* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA margin* - Adjusted EBITDA margin* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by dividing consolidated adjusted EBITDA* by consolidated revenues. Management believes adjusted EBITDA margin* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA margin* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income margin and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow* - Adjusted Free Cash Flow* is a non-GAAP measure and represents cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes adjusted free cash flow* is useful to understand our performance at generating cash and demonstrates our discipline around the use of cash. Adjusted free cash flow* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for cash flows provided by operating activities and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Net Debt* - Net Debt* is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated taking short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Management believes the net debt* is useful to assess the level of debt in excess of cash and cash and equivalents as we monitor our ability to repay and service our debt. Net debt* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for overall debt and total cash and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Net Leverage* - Net Leverage* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by taking net debt* divided by adjusted EBITDA* for the trailing 12 months. Management believes the net leverage* is useful to understand our ability to repay and service our debt. Net leverage* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for the individual components of above defined net debt* divided by consolidated net income attributable to Weatherford and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
