4Q18 Earnings Presentation February 26, 2019 Presented by: Anthony G. Petrello Chairman, President, & Chief Executive Officer William J. Restrepo Chief Financial Officer
2 We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual, quarterly, and current reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Such statements, including statements in this document that relate to matters that are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These “forward-looking statements” are based on our analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. Factors to consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: fluctuations and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas; fluctuations in levels of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities; fluctuations in the demand for our services; competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; our ability to renew customer contracts in in order to maintain competitiveness; the existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; the possibility of the loss of one or a number of our large customers; the impact of long-term indebtedness and other financial commitments on our financial and operating flexibility; our access to and the cost of capital, including the impact of a downgrade in our credit rating, covenants restrictions, availability under our unsecured revolving credit facilities, and future issuances of debt or equity securities; our dependence on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations; our ability to retain skilled employees; our ability to complete, and realize the expected benefits of strategic transactions; the recent changes in U.S. tax laws and the possibility of changes in other tax laws and other laws and regulation; the possibility of political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business; and general economic conditions, including the capital and credit markets. Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Therefore, sustained lower oil or natural gas prices that have a material impact on exploration, development or production activities could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. For a discussion of these factors and other risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including those contained in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation refers to certain “non-GAAP” financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss) and net debt. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and net debt to total debt, which are their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, is provided in the Appendix at the end of this presentation.

14 Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Income (Loss) from Cont. Operations Before Income Taxes Adjusted operating income (loss) represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss), impairments and other charges, and other, net. Adjusted EBITDA is computed similarly, but also excludes depreciation and amortization expenses. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) exclude certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to pay. Each of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors use these measures as some of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes which is the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided in the table below.

15 Reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt Net debt is computed by subtracting the sum of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments from total debt. This non-GAAP measure has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including net debt, because it believes that this financial measure accurately measures the Company’s liquidity. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute this measure differently. A reconciliation of net debt to total debt, which is the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided in the table below.
