First quarter 2020:

 

 

Geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil to the global market occurred at the same time that demand weakened due to the worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a collapse in oil prices during March 2020.  As a result, Schlumberger’s market capitalization deteriorated significantly compared to the end of 2019.  Schlumberger’s stock price reached a low during the first quarter of 2020 not seen since 1995.  Additionally, the Philadelphia Oil Services Sector index, which is comprised of companies involved in the oil services sector, reached an all-time low.  As a result of these facts, Schlumberger determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of certain of its reporting units were less than their carrying value.  Therefore, Schlumberger performed an interim goodwill impairment test.

9


Schlumberger had 11 reporting units with goodwill balances aggregating $16.0 billion.  Schlumberger determined that the fair value of 4 of its reporting units, representing $4.5 billion of the goodwill, was substantially in excess of their carrying value.  Schlumberger performed a detailed quantitative impairment assessment of the remaining 7 reporting units, which represented $11.5 billion of goodwill. As a result of this assessment, Schlumberger concluded that the goodwill associated with each of these seven reporting units was impaired, resulting in a $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge.  This charge primarily relates to goodwill associated with the Drilling and Production segments.

 

Following the $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge relating to these seven reporting units, 6 of these reporting units had a remaining goodwill balance.  These six reporting units had goodwill balances which ranged between $0.2 billion and $5.0 billion and aggregated to $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2020.

 


Schlumberger used the income approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, but also considered the market approach to validate the results.  The income approach estimates the fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using Schlumberger’s estimate of the discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation date.  The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.  The market approach involves significant judgement involved in the selection of the appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples.

 

Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the income approach include the estimated future net annual cash flows for each reporting unit and the discount rate.  Schlumberger selected the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and estimated growth rates.  Schlumberger’s estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable.  However, given the inherent uncertainty in determining the assumptions underlying a discounted cash flow analysis, particularly in the current volatile market, actual results may differ from those used in Schlumberger’s valuations which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

 

The discount rates utilized to value Schlumberger’s reporting units were between 12.0% and 13.5%, depending on the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting unit as well as the size of the reporting unit.  Assuming all other assumptions and inputs used in each of the respective discounted cash flow analysis were held constant, a 50-basis point increase or decrease in the discount rate assumptions would have changed the fair value of the 7 reporting units, on average, by less than 5%.

 

 

The negative market indicators described above were triggering events that indicated that certain of Schlumberger’s long-lived intangible and tangible assets may be impaired.  Recoverability testing indicated that certain long-lived assets were impaired.  The estimated fair value of these assets was determined to be below their carrying value.  As a result, Schlumberger recorded the following impairment charges:

 

-

$3.3 billion of intangible assets, of which $2.2 billion relates to Schlumberger’s 2016 acquisition of Cameron International Corporation and $1.1 billion relates to Schlumberger’s 2010 acquisition of Smith International, Inc.  Following this impairment charge, the carrying value of the impaired intangible assets was approximately $0.9 billion.

 

-

$1.3 billion relating to the carrying value of certain Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) projects in North America.

 

-

$0.6 billion of fixed assets associated with the pressure pumping business in North America.  

The fair value of these impaired assets was estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows that the underlying assets are expected to generate.  Such estimates included unobservable inputs that required significant judgment.

 

 

$202 million of severance, the vast majority of which is expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2020.severance.

 

 

$79 million of other restructuring charges, primarily consisting of the impairment of an equity method investment that was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

 

$164 million relating to a valuation allowance against certain foreigndeferred tax credits in the US.assets.

Schlumberger expects

Second quarter 2020:

As previously noted, late in the first quarter of 2020 geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil to the global market occurred at the same time as demand weakened due to the worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a collapse in oil prices.  As a result, the second quarter of 2020 was the most challenging quarter in past decades.  Schlumberger responded to these market conditions by taking actions to restructure its business and rationalize its asset base during the second quarter of 2020.  These actions included reducing headcount, closing facilities and exiting business lines in certain countries.  Additionally, due to the resulting activity decline, Schlumberger had assets that will no longer be utilized.  As a consequence of these circumstances and decisions, Schlumberger recorded the following restructuring and asset impairment charges:

10


-

$1.021 billion of severance associated with reducing its workforce by more than 21,000 employees.  The vast majority of this charge is expected to be paid during the second half of 2020.

-

$730 million relating to the carrying value of certain APS projects in Latin America.

-

$666 million of fixed asset impairments primarily relating to equipment that will no longer be utilized and facilities it is exiting.

-

$603 million write-down of the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value.

-

$311 million write-down of right-of-use assets under operating leases associated with leased facilities Schlumberger is exiting and excess equipment.

-

$205 million of costs associated with exiting certain activities.

-

$156 million impairment of certain multiclient seismic data.

-

$61 million of other costs, including a $42 million increase in the allowance for the doubtful accounts.

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repurchased certain Senior Notes (see Note 9 – Long-term debt), which resulted in a $40 million charge.

As a consequence of the workforce reductions described above, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment gain of $69 million relating to its US postretirement medical plan.  See Note 13 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans for further details.

The fair value of the impaired intangible assets, fixed assets, APS investments, right-of-use assets and multiclient seismic data was estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows that the underlying assets are expected to record agenerate.  Such estimates included unobservable inputs that required significant charge relating to severance during the second quarter of 2020.  However, at this time the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.  Additionally, asjudgement.

As market conditions evolve and Schlumberger further developscontinues to develop its strategy to deal with such conditions, it may result in further restructuring and/or impairment charges in future periods relating to, among other things, inventory, fixed assets, facilities, workforce reductions and other assets.

There were 0 charges or credits recorded during the first threesix months of 2019.

During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €400 million of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €400 million of 0.50% Notes due 2031.

The estimatedestimated fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $15.1$17.3 billion and $15.3 billion, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger entered into a €1.54 billion committed revolving credit facility.  This one-year facility can be extended at Schlumberger’s option for up to an additional year.  NaN amounts have been drawn under this facility.

At March 31,June 30, 2020, Schlumberger had separate committed credit facility agreements aggregating $6.25$7.98 billion with commercial banks, of which $3.5$6.17 billion was available and unused.  These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $1.73 billion matures in April 2021, $2.75 billion matures in February 2023, $1.5 billion matures in July 2024 and $2.0 billion matures in February 2025.  Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by facility.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger entered into a €1.2 billion committed revolving credit facility.  This one-year facility can be extended at Schlumberger’s option for up to an additional year.  Schlumberger can potentially upsize this facility through syndication.  As of April 22, 2020, 0 amounts have been drawn under this facility.

Borrowings under the commercial paper programs at March 31,June 30, 2020 were $2.75$1.81 billion, all of which was classified in Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  At December 31, 2019, borrowings under the commercial paper programs were $2.22 billion, all of which was classified in Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.


9.During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €400 million of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €400 million of 0.50% Notes due 2031.

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026, $900 million of 2.65% Senior Notes due 2030 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032.

14


During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repurchased all $600 million of its 4.20% Senior Notes due 2021 and $935 million of its 3.30% Senior Notes due 2021.  Schlumberger paid a premium of approximately $40 million in connection with these repurchases.  This premium was classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).  See Note 2 – Charge and Credits.

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger established a €5.0 billion Guaranteed Euro Medium Term Note program that provides for the issuance of various types of debt instruments such as fixed or floating rate notes in euro, US dollar or other currencies.  Schlumberger has not issued any debt under this program.

Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries, including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment SA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schlumberger.

10.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Schlumberger is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments.  Schlumberger does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio.  Schlumberger maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio, to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates. 

At March 31,June 30, 2020, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating $13.7$15.5 billion and variable rate debt aggregating $2.9$1.9 billion.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a multinational company, Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar.  However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses are incurred in foreign currencies.  Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease).  

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency.  Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks.  These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.  Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. 

Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses cross-currency swaps to provide a hedge against these cash flow risks.

During 2017, a Canadian-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $1.1 billion of US-dollar denominated debt.  Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $1.1 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion of 2.20% Senior Notes due 2020 and its $0.6 billion of 2.65% Senior Notes due 2022.  These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the US-dollar denominated notes to Canadian-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.97% and 2.52%, respectively.

During 2019, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €1.5 billion of Euro-denominated debt.  Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.00% Notes due 2024, €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.29%, 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €0.8 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively.

15


During the second quarter of 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.6 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and €0.6 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the swapped portion of the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.45%, respectively. Schlumberger hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations on the remaining €0.4 billion of Euro-denominated debt issued by using foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.  Instead, the fair value of the contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) as are changes in fair value of the hedged item.  

At March 31,June 30, 2020, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $7.3$9.8 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $4.0$6.0 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.


At March 31,June 30, 2020, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative $202$260 million loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss relating to changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as fair value and cash flow hedges, and those not designated as hedges, on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) was as follows:

10.11.   Contingencies

Schlumberger is party to various legal proceedings from time to time.  A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote.  However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

Due to the actions taken by Schlumberger to reduce its global workforce during 2020, Schlumberger experienced a significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of its employees in its US postretirement medical plan. Accordingly, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment gain of $69 million during the second quarter of 2020 relating to this plan. The curtailment gain includes recognition of the decrease in the benefit obligation as well as a portion of the previously unrecognized prior service credit, reflecting the reduction in expected years of future service.  As a result of the curtailment, Schlumberger performed a remeasurement of the plan, which had an immaterial impact.  This gain was classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).  See Note 2 – Charge and Credits.

First-quarter revenueThe second quarter of $7.5 billion declined 9% sequentially and 5% year-on-year as the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic increasingly impacted industry activity during the quarter. The effect of this2020 was amplified late in the quarter by a new battle for market share between the world’s largest oil producers. This created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting inprobably the most challenging industry environmentquarter in manypast decades. The spreadSecond-quarter revenue of COVID-19 has$5.4 billion declined 28% sequentially, caused more than 50 countries to implement lockdown measures affecting three billion people. Worldwide economic activity is falling sharply, and oil demand destruction is leading to an unprecedented supply-demand imbalance inby the range of 20–30 million bbl/d. This is translating to near-term uncertainties in activity and budget projections.

Customer spending and drilling activity in North America declined as oil prices slipped early in the quarter before falling abruptly in March. This resulted in a 7% sequentialsignificant decrease in North America activity, and international activity drop due to downward revisions to customer budgets accentuated by COVID-19 disruptions. The entire oil and gas industry was confronted with historic oil demand and supply imbalances caused by demand destruction from the global COVID-19 containment effort.

North America revenue declined 48% sequentially with land revenue falling 60% as customers dramatically cut back spending. International revenue declined 19% sequentially with Latin America and Africa experiencing the largest revenue declines due to $2.3 billion. InternationalCOVID-19-related restrictions and the drop in deepwater activity. In addition, there was a production interruption in the Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) projects in Ecuador caused by a major landslide that led to the rupture of the main pipeline.  

Schlumberger has worked to protect its liquidity and cash positions and sustained resilient international margins while navigating the trough of this downcycle.

Despite the severe drop in international revenue and the effect of the APS production interruption in Ecuador, international margin was essentially flat compared to the previous quarter, due to Schlumberger’s swift and decisive actions to reduce operating costs, restructure, and rationalize its asset base. Schlumberger is working to permanently remove $1.5 billion of structural costs annually by reorganizing into a leaner and more responsive company that is better aligned with its customers’ workflows.

Looking at the macro view in the near-term, during the beginning of the third quarter of 2020 oil demand slowly started to normalize and is expected to continue to improve as government measures support consumption. However, subsequent waves of potential COVID-19 resurgence pose a negative risk to this outlook.

The conditions are set in the third quarter for a modest frac completion activity which wasincrease in North America, though from a very low base. Internationally, markets may continue to be disrupted by the pandemic and will continue to adjust to budget levels set during the second quarter, but this is expected to be seasonally lower sequentially, suffered from COVID-19-related activity disruptions and initial customer spending cuts in response to falling oil prices. International revenuemostly offset if there is a seasonal return of $5.1 billion declined 10% sequentially.

The sequential international revenue decline was led by lower winter activity in the Europe/CIS/Africa area, particularlyNorthern Hemisphere and a rebound of Latin America from its second-quarter weakness. However, any further material COVID-19 disruption or significant setback in oil demand arising from a slower economic recovery could present downside risks to this outlook. Absent these risks, Schlumberger anticipates flat sequential revenue in the Russia & Central Asiathird quarter. Schlumberger expects its third quarter pretax segment operating income and the United Kingdom & Continental Europe GeoMarkets. Latin America area revenue also decreased, mainly duemargin to reduced WesternGeco® multiclient seismic license sales. Middle East & Asia area revenue declined on lower product sales following strong year-end salesexpand as a result of its restructuring efforts, improved activity mix, and a seasonal decline in activity. COVID-19-related activity disruptions during the quarter impacted our operations, particularly in China, Malaysia, Iraq, Italy, Romania, the United Kingdom, Gabon, Mozambique, Congo, Nigeria, Angola, and offshore North America.sustained benefits from technology adoption, including digital.

21

At this time, customer feedback and Schlumberger’s analysis indicate global capex spend is expected to decline by about 20% in 2020, with the largest share of the reduction affecting North America, which is estimated to drop by about 40%. In contrast, international E&P capex is expected to decline by about 15%.  Final investment decision sanctions are expected to fall back to trough levels of 2015, which would indicate project delays to 2021 and beyond.



In this environment—the duration of which remains uncertain—Schlumberger has planned for a range of scenarios and has taken a number of actions. To protect its workforce in the wake of COVID-19, Schlumberger has taken steps to keep its people safe by supporting those affected, mandating that as many employees and contractors as possible work from home, and monitoring those who cannot do so and are required to be at work. To reinforce cost control and cash discipline, Schlumberger is reducing its structural and variable costs, and restructuring its organization to match activity where necessary, including furloughing personnel, cutting salaries, lowering headcount, and closing facilities. Additionally, Schlumberger's Board of Directors and executive officers have voluntarily agreed to reductions in their cash compensation.  The capital investment program has been reduced by more than 30% and resources will be allocated to the more resilient markets while Schlumberger remains focused on capital stewardship and maintaining its commitment to a strong balance sheet.

The second quarter is likely to be the most uncertain and disruptive quarter the industry has ever seen.  The extent to which Schlumberger’s future results are affected by COVID-19 will depend on various factors and consequences beyond the Company’s control, such as the duration and scope of the pandemic; additional actions by businesses and governments in response to the pandemic, and the speed and effectiveness of responses to combat the virus. COVID-19, and the volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could also aggravate the risk factors identified in Schlumberger’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. COVID-19 may also materially adversely affect Schlumberger’s results in a manner that is either not currently known or that Schlumberger does not currently consider to be a significant risk to its business.  See also the risk factor relating to COVID-19 disclosed in Item 8.01 of Schlumberger’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2020.

Reservoir Characterization

Reservoir Characterization revenue of $1.3$1.1 billion decreased 20% sequentially. This decrease was primarilymainly due to seasonally lower sales of software and multiclient seismic licenses and reduced winterWireline activity in North America land and the Northern Hemisphere.  Additionally, customers beganEastern Middle East and Sub-Sahara Africa GeoMarkets. Testing Services revenue was also lower mainly in the Sub-Sahara Africa GeoMarket as a result of projects that were completed in the prior quarter, as well as delayed and cancelled activities due to cut both discretionary spend and activity toward the end of the quarter, which affected exploration activity in several GeoMarkets.COVID-19.

 

Reservoir Characterization pretax operating margin of 14% fell 839 basis points (“bps”)18% rebounded 357 bps sequentially due todespite the lower sales of softwaresignificant revenue decline. This margin expansion was driven by prompt cost reduction measures through headcount rationalization and multiclient seismic licenses as well as the effects of lower exploration activity.furloughs.

Drilling

Drilling revenue of $2.3$1.7 billion decreased 6% sequentially with approximately half of the revenue decline attributable 24% sequentially. This was primarily due to the divestiture of the businesses and associated assets of DRILCO, Thomas Tools, and Fishing & Remedial Services (the “Drilling Tools businesses”) which was completed at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.  Revenue also decreased due to seasonality effectsactivity decline in the Northern Hemisphere. The US land as rig count was 6% lower sequentially including a 15% dropdropped more than 50%, while COVID-19 disruptions caused drilling activities to be cancelled or suspended in the last two weeks of March.  several international GeoMarkets.

Drilling

First-quarter Second-quarter 2020 revenue of $2.3$1.7 billion decreased 4% year-on-year largely28% year-on-year. This was primarily due to the activity decline in US land as rig count significantly decreased, while COVID-19 disruptions caused drilling activities to be cancelled or suspended in several international GeoMarkets. Revenue was also lower due to the divestiture of the Drilling Tools businesses at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.

The first quarter 2020 results did not include any benefit from reduced depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the first quarter impairment charges.  However, going forward,commencing with the second quarter of 2020, depreciation and amortization expense will bewas reduced by approximately $95 million on a quarterly basis.basis as a result of the first quarter impairment charges.  Approximately $45 million of this quarterly reduction will beis reflected in the Production segment, with the remaining $50 million reflected in the “Corporate & other” line item.

The second quarter 2020 results did not include any benefit from reduced expenses associated with the second quarter restructuring and impairment charges. However, going forward depreciation and amortization expense will be reduced by approximately $80 million and lease expense will be reduced by $25 million, on a quarterly basis.  Approximately $70 million of this quarterly reduction will be reflected in the Production Segment, with the remaining $35 million reflected amongst the Reservoir Characterization, Drilling and Cameron segments.

There were no charges or credits recorded during the first quartersix months of 2019.

Schlumberger expects to record a significant charge relating to severance during the second quarter of 2020.  However, at this time the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a significant and swift reduction in international and U.S. economic activity. These effects have adversely affected the demand for oil and natural gas, as well as for Schlumberger’s products and services, and caused significant volatility and disruption of the financial markets. This period of extreme economic disruption, low oil prices and reduced demand for Schlumberger’s products and services has had, and is likely to continue to have, a material adverse impact on ourSchlumberger’s business, results of operations, financial condition and, at times, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition.liquidity.

In view of the uncertainty of the depth and extent of the contraction in oil demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the weaker commodity price environment, Schlumberger has turned its strategic focus to cash conservation and protecting its balance sheet. As a result, in April 2020 Schlumberger therefore reducedannounced a 75% reduction to its dividend by 75%, commencing with the next dividend payment in July 2020.quarterly dividend. The revised dividend supports Schlumberger’s value proposition through a balanced approach of shareholder distributions and organic investment, while providing the flexibility to weather the uncertain environment. This decision reflects the Company’s focus on its capital stewardship program as well as its commitment to maintain both a strong liquidity position and a strong investment grade credit rating that provides privileged access to the financial markets.

(1)

Net debt” represents gross debt less cash and short-term investments.  Management believes that Net debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger’s indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.  Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, total debt.

(2)

Includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, multiclient seismic data costs, and APS investments.

(3)

Includes severance payments of approximately $56$426 million and $48$71 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(4)

“Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, APS investments and multiclient seismic data costs capitalized. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash.  Once business needs and obligations are met, this cash can be used to reinvest in the company for future growth or to return to shareholders through dividend payments or share repurchases.  Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.  Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations.

Key liquidity events during the first threesix months of 2020 and 2019 included:

 

On January 21, 2016, the Board approved a $10 billion share repurchase program for Schlumberger common stock.  Schlumberger had repurchased $1.0 billion of Schlumberger common stock under this program as of March 31,June 30, 2020.  The Company did not repurchase any Schlumberger common stock during the second quarter of 2020.

Capital expenditures were $0.4$0.7 billion during the first threesix months of 2020 andcompared to $0.8 billion during the first six months of 2019, respectively.  Capital expenditures for full-year 2020 are expected to be approximately $1.2$1.1 billion, representing a 30%35% decrease as compared to 2019.

 


During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026, $900 million of 2.650% Senior Notes due 2030 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032.

 

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repurchased all $600 million of its 4.20% Senior Notes due 2021 and $935 million of its 3.30% Senior Notes due 2021.  Schlumberger paid a premium of approximately $40 million in connection with these repurchases.  This premium was classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).  See Note 2 – Charge and Credits.

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger established a €5.0 billion Guaranteed Euro Medium Term Note program that provides for the issuance of various types of debt instruments such as fixed or floating rate notes in euro, US dollar or other currencies.  Schlumberger has not issued any debt under this program.

During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €400 million of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €400 million of 0.50% Notes due 2031.

 

 

During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger completed the sale of its 49% interest in the Bandurria Sur Block in Argentina.  The net cash proceeds from this transaction, combined with the proceeds received from the divestiture of a smaller APS project, amounted to $298 million.

 

 

During the first quarter of 2019, Schlumberger issued $750 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2024 and $850 million of 4.30% Senior Notes due 2029.

Schlumberger recorded a $1.0 billion charge relating to severance during the second quarter of 2020.  The vast majority of this charge is expected to be paid during the second half of 2020.

Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries.  As of March 31,June 30, 2020, foursix of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s net receivables balance, of which only the United States accounted for greater than 10% of such receivables.

As of March 31,June 30, 2020, Schlumberger had $3.3$3.6 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand.  Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.3$8.0 billion that support commercial paper programs, of which $3.5$6.2 billion was available and unused.  Additionally, subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger entered into a €1.2 billion committed revolving credit facility.  This one-year facility can be extended at Schlumberger’s option for up to an additional year.  Schlumberger can potentially upsize this facility through syndication.  Schlumberger believes these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Borrowings under the commercial paper programs at March 31,June 30, 2020 were $2.8$1.8 billion.

Item 5. Other Information.

In 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”).

Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during the firstsecond quarter of 2020 consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger maintain depository accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”), and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran and in Kish for the deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received. One non-US subsidiary also maintained an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes. Schlumberger anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all amounts owed to Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran.
