McCollum continued, “Our recently announced joint venture with Schlumberger, OneStimSM, will offer a significant North America land-based multistage completions portfolio combined with one of the largest hydraulic fracturing fleets in the industry for the development of unconventional resource plays in land markets in the United States and Canada. This agreement enables us to take another step toward improving our balance sheet and strengthening our returns. It also confirms our commitment to creating strategic partnerships, sharing resources and capabilities to develop new technologies and achieve critical mass as a means to provide our clients with the lowest cost per barrel.”
“Our highest priority will be to improve and strengthen our balance sheet. Through more disciplined cost management, we will continue to streamline our operations, becoming a more efficient and leaner organization. This includes the completion of the OneStim joint venture and the divestiture of our Land Drilling Rigs business. Delivering heightened service quality and reliability will position our Company on a solid path toward long-term profitability. Improved profitability will in turn drive cash flow, and stronger cash flow will improve our balance sheet. We realize the responsibility of being good stewards and recognize that there is work to be done to earn your trust and confidence. We are committed to meaningfully improving our returns and increasing shareholder value.”

First Quarter 2017 Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2017 was $1.39 billion compared with $1.41 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, or a 1% decrease, and was 13% lower than $1.59 billion of revenue reported in the first quarter of 2016. North America revenue increased 1%, despite the shutdown of the U.S. pressure pumping operations. International revenue declined 2% and Land Drilling Rigs revenue declined 6% sequentially.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $448 million (diluted net loss of $0.45 per share), compared to a $549 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2016 (diluted net loss of $0.59 per share), and a $498 million loss in the first quarter of the prior year (diluted net loss of $0.61 per share).
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $318 million (non-GAAP diluted net loss of $0.32 per share), compared to a non-GAAP $303 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2016 (non-GAAP diluted net loss of $0.32 per share), and a non-GAAP $239 million loss in the first quarter of the prior year (non-GAAP diluted net loss of $0.29 per share).
After-tax charges, net of credits, of $130 million for the first quarter include:
| • | $69 million in severance and restructuring charges; |
| • | $62 million in charges related to the fair value adjustment of our outstanding warrant; and |
| • | $1 million of income in other charges and credits. |
Segment operating margins improved 166 basis points sequentially as rig count and activity increases from the continued recovery in North America. Artificial Lift, Completion, Drilling Services and Wireline drove the margin improvements. Year-on-year segment operating margin and adjusted segment operating margin improved 615 basis points and 285 basis points, respectively, due to reduced operating expenses from the shutdown of our pressure pumping operations in North America, the realization of savings from our cost reduction measures, and the increased activity in North America.

Cash Flow and Financial Covenants
Net cash used in operating activities was $179 million for the first quarter of 2017, including $144 million of debt interest payments, $43 million of cash severance and restructuring costs, and $30 million of SEC legal settlement costs, partially offset by reductions in working capital balances totaling $3 million. Capital expenditures of $40 million decreased by $28 million or 41% sequentially, and decreased $3 million or 7% from the same quarter in the prior year. In January 2017, we purchased certain leased equipment utilized in our North America pressure pumping business for a total amount of $240 million, which upon the closing of the transaction, will be contributed to the OneStim SM joint venture. As of March 31, 2017, we remained in compliance with our financial covenants as defined in our revolving and secured term loan credit facilities. Based on our current financial projections, we believe that we will remain in compliance with these covenants for the remainder of 2017.

First quarter revenues of $490 million were up $5 million or 1% sequentially, and down $53 million, or 10%, over the same period last year. Excluding the impact of the U.S. pressure pumping operations, sequential revenues improved 16% while year-on-year revenues improved 7%. The increase in sequential revenue in the region was attributed to the increase in average rig count of 63% in Canada and 26% in the U.S., positively impacting most of our product lines. First quarter segment operating loss improved by $40 million sequentially to a loss of $18 million (-3.7% margin). Compared to the same period last year, first quarter segment operating loss improved by 86%. The improvement in operating income was due to reduced operating expenses as a result of the shutdown of our pressure pumping operations and the realization of savings from cost cutting measures.

Operational highlights in North America during the first quarter include:
| • | In the Eagle Ford Shale, the Weatherford hostile-environment-logging (HEL) system enabled failure-free drilling of 57 wells, saving more than $1 million. The operator had previously experienced measurement-while-drilling (MWD) system failures due to high downhole temperatures in the field. The average MWD system failure incurred 24 hours of nonproductive time (NPT), valued at $75,000 per incident. Seeking to reduce NPT, the operator contracted Weatherford to deploy its HEL system, which is designed for performance in high-temperature environments. |
| • | Over the past five years, Weatherford has completed multiple wells for a supermajor operator in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico using TerraForm® openhole packers. By achieving secure and compliant well integrity in an open hole, TerraForm packers eliminate the need for casing, cement, perforation and other costs related to cased-hole completions. The estimated savings achieved by using TerraForm packers are $15 to $20 million per well. As a result of this outstanding track record, the client recently ordered 25 more TerraForm packers for deployment in this field. |
| • | Weatherford won a contract for more than 40 pumping units for an operator in Western Canada, replacing the incumbent artificial lift systems provider in that field. Deployment is underway, with 20 units delivered in the first quarter. |

First quarter revenues of $807 million were down 2% sequentially and down 13% year-on-year. First quarter operating loss was $4 million (-0.5% margin), down from operating income of $7 million (0.7% margin) in the prior quarter. First quarter operating loss deteriorated by $1 million year-on-year, and first quarter adjusted segment operating loss, which excluded the effect from the Zubair contract in 2016, deteriorated by $53 million year-on-year.
| • | Latin America |
First quarter revenues of $242 million were down $8 million, or 3% sequentially, and down $63 million, or 21%, compared to the same quarter last year. First quarter operating income of $9 million (3.8% margin) was up $3 million sequentially but down 80% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was mainly driven by lower activity combined with project delays in Argentina as a result of a change in the compensation structure for union based employees, partially offset by increased activity in Colombia which benefited from an increase in the number of operating rigs. Despite this reduction in revenue, operating margins improved primarily due to favorable product line mix led by Well Construction and Secure Drilling Services.

Operational highlights in Latin America during the first quarter include:
| • | Weatherford won a 30-month, $178 million contract to provide integrated services in shallow-water Mexico. The contract scope encompasses numerous product lines, technologies and capabilities, including Secure Drilling Services, Tubular Running Services, Wireline, Drilling Services, Surface Logging Systems, Drilling Fluids and Reservoir Solutions. Planning, land logistics and execution across all product lines and third parties will be managed by Weatherford’s Integrated Services and Projects product line. |
| • | By installing the Red Eye® multiphase metering system, an operator in Colombia optimized its well-testing process, decreasing the amount of diluent needed by 70%, while increasing the frequency of tests per month. This change has enabled the operator to reduce personnel by a 10 to 1 ratio and save approximately $10 million per year. |
| • | Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia |
First quarter revenues of $244 million were up $30 million or 14% sequentially, and down $13 million, or 5%, compared to the same quarter last year. First quarter operating loss of $10 million (-4.1% margin) increased from operating loss of $8 million (-4.0% margin) sequentially, and increased from operating loss of $1 million (-0.4% margin) year-on-year. Sequential revenues increased due to low margin product sales in Sub-Sahara Africa and Europe partially offset by lower seasonal activity in the Norwegian Continental Shelf and parts of Russia. The increase in sequential operating loss was primarily driven by higher costs in Russia to prepare for an expected seasonal rebound of activity levels in the second quarter.
Operational highlights in Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia during the first quarter include:
| • | During a deepwater completion operation in the North Sea, the Weatherford RFID-enabled reservoir isolation valve eliminated the need for an intermediate completion, reducing rig time by 24 to 36 hours and mitigating high health, safety and environmental (HSE) risks. |
| • | In January 2017, Gazprom Neft Orenberg named Weatherford the Best Service Company of 2016. Service companies were evaluated based on multiple performance indicators, including technical parameters, service quality and NPT. Weatherford earned the award thanks to high HSE standards, guaranteed service quality, and reliability of technical solutions, specifically in the area of directional drilling. |
| • | In Western Siberia, an operator seeking to reduce total well construction time contracted Weatherford to plan and deploy an optimized drilling bottomhole assembly. Pre-drill planning combined with use of Weatherford measurement and logging-while-drilling tools helped to increase rate of penetration and limit wiper trips. As a result, the operator finished drilling operations 17 days ahead of schedule. |
| • | Middle East/North Africa/Asia Pacific |
First quarter revenues of $321 million were down 12% sequentially and down 11% from the same quarter in the prior year. Operating loss of $3 million (-1.1% margin) deteriorated from operating income of $9 million (2.4% margin) in the prior quarter, but improved compared to an operating loss of $46 million (-12.7% margin) in the same quarter last year. Compared to adjusted operating income of $6 million (1.7% margin) for the first quarter of 2016, which excluded the impact from charges related to the Zubair contract, operating income in the first quarter 2017 deteriorated by 156%. The sequential decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower product sales across the region as well as continued pricing pressure, partially offset by increased service revenue from new contracts. Lower product costs were offset by startup costs for our Wireline contract in Kuwait, which commenced at the end of the quarter.

Operational highlights in the Middle East/North Africa/Asia Pacific during the first quarter include:
| • | On two separate jobs, the Weatherford inflatable packoff stage tool (POST) enabled a large Middle Eastern national oil company (NOC) to drill to total depth and land casing at setting depth with zero NPT, saving between 40 and 48 hours of rig time on each well. The tool facilitated efficient two-stage cementing by eliminating the need to pull casing and recondition the hole or to perform a remedial cement job. |
| • | A large NOC in the Middle East executed a drilling campaign planned for 180 days in just 133 days using the Microflux® control system. The rig time savings are valued at approximately $4 million. Based on the success on this job, Weatherford is now established as a proven service provider in managed pressure drilling for this large NOC. |
| • | In Indonesia, the Microflux® automated control system powered by OneSync® managed pressure drilling software enabled an operator to drill 2,000 feet deeper than planned. |
Land Drilling Rigs
First quarter revenues of $89 million were down $5 million, or 6% sequentially and down $30 million, or 25%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. First quarter operating loss of $30 million (-33.3% margin) deteriorated sequentially and year-on-year by $5 million and $4 million, respectively. The decrease in revenues and operating results was due to a decline in drilling and contract activity in the Gulf States, combined with lower operational efficiency during the first quarter 2017, partially offset by the startup of new drilling contracts in North Africa.
Despite select operational issues that weighed on the quarter, there were noteworthy wins in the Middle East:
| • | Land rigs in Oman set four field records in a single campaign, with the fastest well delivered 6 days ahead of schedule. Additionally, an operator in Algeria recognized Weatherford land rigs for drilling a well 7.45 days ahead of plan. |
| • | Contracts with two large NOCs have been extended through 2018. |

Working capital is defined as accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable.
