Insights

Weatherford shows remarkable resilience with improved profitability despite industry headwinds and declining year-over-year performance.

Weatherford delivered a quarter of mixed results that demonstrates the company's operational resilience amid challenging market conditions. Despite a sluggish industry environment, Q2 revenue increased 1% sequentially to $1,204 million, though it declined 14% year-over-year. More impressively, net income jumped 79% sequentially to $136 million, with margins expanding by 493 basis points to 11.3%.

The company's segment performance reveals the uneven nature of the current oilfield services market. The Well Construction and Completions segment showed sequential revenue growth of 3%, while Drilling & Evaluation and Production & Intervention segments experienced declines of 4% and 2% respectively. Geographically, international markets (particularly Middle East/North Africa/Asia at 4% growth and Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia at 23% growth) offset weakness in North America (-4%) and Latin America (-19%).

Cash generation remains solid with $128 million in operating cash flow and $79 million in adjusted free cash flow, enabling continued shareholder returns totaling $52 million for the quarter ($18 million in dividends and $34 million in share repurchases). The company also reduced debt by repurchasing $27 million of senior notes.

CEO Girish Saligram's commentary offers important context, acknowledging "structural headwinds" including "geopolitical events, supply-demand imbalance concerns, and trade uncertainties." His forward guidance points to continued "sluggishness" with expectations for recovery shifting "further to the right" and a "relatively flat trajectory on revenues for the immediate future."

The strategic partnership with AWS to migrate digital platforms indicates Weatherford's commitment to technological advancement despite market challenges. Additionally, the company secured several new contracts across global markets, which should provide some revenue stability despite the challenging environment.

Overall, Weatherford is demonstrating effective execution and cost discipline in a deteriorating market, with management focused on free cash flow conversion through "portfolio optimization, structural cost efficiencies, optimization of working capital, and CAPEX efficiency." This approach appears to be working, as evidenced by the significant sequential improvement in profitability metrics despite relatively flat revenue.

  • Second quarter revenue of $1,204 million increased 1% sequentially
  • Second quarter operating income of $237 million increased 67% sequentially
  • Second quarter net income of $136 million increased 79% sequentially; net income margin of 11.3%
  • Second quarter adjusted EBITDA* of $254 million was flat sequentially; adjusted EBITDA margin* of 21.1% decreased 11 basis points sequentially
  • Second quarter cash provided by operating activities of $128 million and adjusted free cash flow* of $79 million

HOUSTON, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ: WFRD) (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) announced today its results for the second quarter of 2025.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $1,204 million, an increase of 1% sequentially and a decrease of 14% year-over-year. Operating income in the second quarter of 2025 was $237 million, an increase of 67% sequentially and a decrease of 10% year-over-year. Net income in the second quarter of 2025 was $136 million, with a 11.3% margin, an increase of 79%, or 493 basis points, sequentially, and an increase of 9%, or 240 basis points, year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA* was $254 million, with a 21.1% margin, flat, or a decrease of 11 basis points, sequentially, and a decrease of 30%, or 488 basis points, year-over-year. Basic income per share in the second quarter of 2025 was $1.87, an increase of 81% sequentially and an increase of 10% year-over-year. Diluted income per share in the second quarter of 2025 was $1.87, an increase of 81% sequentially and an increase of 13% year-over-year.

Second quarter 2025 cash flows provided by operating activities were $128 million, a decrease of 10% sequentially and a decrease of 15% year-over-year. Adjusted free cash flow* was $79 million, an increase of 20% sequentially and a decrease of 18% year-over-year. Capital expenditures were $54 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 30% sequentially and a decrease of 13% year-over-year.

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our core operating markets continued to exhibit activity slowdown during the quarter, driven by geopolitical events, supply-demand imbalance concerns, and trade uncertainties. Despite these structural headwinds, the One Weatherford team delivered second-quarter results in line with expectations, reflecting disciplined execution and operational efficiency in a distinctly softer market. The sequential performance demonstrates strong fundamentals and the resilience of our operating model. Revenues increased and adjusted EBITDA was flat despite the previously announced divestiture of certain businesses in Argentina. Adjusted Free Cash Flow also increased, even as receivables continued to build in Latin America due to lack of payments in Mexico. This performance underscores the strength of the new Weatherford operating paradigm and marks a positive departure from past responses to prior market cycle inflections.

Looking ahead, activity levels in both North America and international markets continue to show signs of sluggishness, and expectations for a broader sector recovery have shifted further to the right. While we anticipate a relatively flat trajectory on revenues for the immediate future, we remain focused on driving adjusted free cash flow conversion through portfolio optimization, structural cost efficiencies, optimization of working capital, and CAPEX efficiency.”

Technology Highlights

  • Drilling & Evaluation (“DRE”)
    • In Kuwait, Weatherford successfully deployed combined Magnus™ and Victus™ solutions for a pilot project for KOC. This approach enabled the use of a smaller wellhead, eliminated one casing string, and allowed effective drilling and cementing through stacked reservoirs, potentially unlocking new completion designs and enhancing recovery.
    • In Qatar, Weatherford successfully completed the first Modus™ job using MPD techniques that significantly improved operational efficiency and well safety. The Modus system enabled the operator to reach the targeted total depth while saving substantial rig time and costs compared to conventional methods.
    • In Norway, Weatherford successfully completed three open hole logging jobs for an international operator using coiled tubing for deployment. This approach enabled effective logging in a highly deviated well, overcoming the limitations of conventional wireline conveyance.
  • Well Construction and Completions (“WCC”)
    • In the Gulf of America, Weatherford successfully integrated multiple TRS technologies for bp. This integration enhanced operational speed, cost-effectiveness, and well integrity while improving quality, efficiency, and safety by reducing personnel requirements and eliminating manual intervention.
    • In the United Kingdom, Weatherford successfully implemented StringGuardTM for Shell. The solution is designed to provide protection against potential dropped string events, with the aim of maintaining operational focus and incident free delivery.
  • Production and Intervention (“PRI”)
    • Weatherford’s Rotaflex® Artificial Lift technology has witnessed continued global adoption, with recent installations in France, Australia, and Oman. These projects have addressed a variety of operational challenges, including the replacement of Electric Submersible Pumps and conventional pumping units, enhancement of production efficiency, support for Coal Bed Methane initiatives, and restoration of output in complex wells, underscoring the versatility and effectiveness of the Rotaflex technology.
    • In Norway, Weatherford completed a successful field trial of TITAN RS technology for Equinor, following the acquisition of Ardyne. The trial delivered a full casing cut and recovery solution for the plug and abandonment market, reinforcing Weatherford’s leadership in advanced well abandonment.
    • In Saudi Arabia, Weatherford installed the first Rod Lift system in the Jafurah field. The unit was successfully commissioned, validating Weatherford’s Rod Lift technology as a viable artificial lift solution for this unconventional gas field.

Weatherford International plc
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 dividing 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.
