WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of Weatherford International, Inc. (the
"Company") at March 31, 2001, and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Income, the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and March 31, 2000. Although the Company believes that the disclosures
in these financial statements are adequate to make the interim information
presented not misleading, certain information relating to the Company's
organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been
condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform
such amounts to corresponding current year classifications.
2. UNIVERSAL TRANSACTION
On February 9, 2001, the Company completed the merger of essentially all of
its Compression Services Division with and into a subsidiary of Universal
Compression Holdings, Inc. ("Universal") in exchange for 13.75 million
restricted shares of Universal common stock, representing approximately 48
percent of Universal's total outstanding shares. The Company retained part of
the Compression Services Division, including Singapore-based Gas Services
International operations, which are now consolidated within the Company's
Artificial Lift Systems Division. Concurrent with the merger, the Company paid
GE Capital $206.5 million for its 36% ownership in the joint venture in which
this division operated.
In connection with the merger, the Company de-consolidated the
businesses that merged with Universal and recorded its investment in Universal
as Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates on the accompanying
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the Company began
recording its 48 percent equity interest in Universal's results of operations,
based on estimates provided by Universal, as Equity in Earnings of
Unconsolidated Affiliates on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Income. The difference between the cost basis of the Company's investment in
Universal and the Company's underlying equity in net assets of Universal is
being amortized straight-line over 40 years through Equity in Earnings of
Unconsolidated Affiliates.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On March 12, 2001, the Company acquired Tesco Corporation's ("Tesco")
underbalanced drilling business for total cash consideration of approximately
$32.8 million. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had paid $18.4 million. An
additional $10.4 million was paid subsequent to March 31, 2001 and $4.0 million
will be paid upon the Company's receipt of the remaining Tesco foreign assets.
The assets acquired include integrated underbalanced drilling systems plus
stand-alone nitrogen generating units, pressure control units and other related
equipment. The addition of Tesco's systems to the Company's Drilling and
Intervention Services Division provides needed capacity for its rapidly growing
underbalanced drilling segment.

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The Company also effected various other acquisitions during the three
months ended March 31, 2001 for total consideration of approximately $26.6
million, consisting of cash and assumed debt. The acquisitions discussed above
were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Results of
operations for acquisitions accounted for as purchases are included in the
accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements since the date of
acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based
upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The balances
included in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets related to the
acquisitions are based upon preliminary information and are subject to change
when final asset and liability valuations are obtained. Material changes in the
preliminary allocations are not anticipated by management.
5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In October 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to
distribute all of the outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Grant Prideco, Inc. (the "Spin-off"), to holders of the Company's
common stock, $1.00 par value ("Common Stock"). These shares were distributed at
the close of business on April 14, 2000 (the "Spin-off Date") to stockholders of
record as of March 23, 2000. In connection with and prior to the Spin-off, the
Company transferred its drilling products businesses to Grant Prideco, Inc.
("Grant Prideco"). As a result, the accompanying financial statements reflect
the operations of Grant Prideco as discontinued operations. The distribution of
the net assets of discontinued operations and the related accumulated other
comprehensive loss is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed
Balance Sheets as an adjustment to Retained Earnings.
The results of operations for Grant Prideco are reflected in the
accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as Loss from
Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes. Condensed results of Grant Prideco were
as follows:

=============
The Company purchases drill pipe and other related products from Grant
Prideco. The purchases made prior to the Spin-off Date have been eliminated in
the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements. The purchases
eliminated for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $6.8 million. These
purchases represent Grant Prideco's cost.
The results from discontinued operations include a management fee charged
to Grant Prideco of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
fee is based on the time devoted to Grant Prideco for accounting, tax, treasury
and risk management services.

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Agreement Between the Company and Grant Prideco
The Company has also entered into a preferred customer agreement with Grant
Prideco pursuant to which the Company agreed, for a three year period, to
purchase at least 70% of its requirements of drill stem products from Grant
Prideco. The price for those products will be at a price not greater than that
which Grant Prideco sells to its best similarly situated customers.
The Company is entitled to apply against its purchases a drill stem credit
granted to it in the amount of $30.0 million, subject to a limitation of the
application of the credit to no more than 20% of any purchase. As of March 31,
2001 the Company had $26.7 million remaining of the drill stem credit.
6. SHORT-TERM DEBT
The Company's unsecured credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to
an aggregate of $250.0 million, consisting of a $200.0 million U.S. credit
facility and a $50.0 million Canadian credit facility. As of March 31, 2001, the
Company had $53.9 million available under this agreement. Amounts outstanding
under the facility accrue interest at the U.S. prime rate or a variable rate
based on LIBOR. A commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.20% per annum,
depending on the senior unsecured credit ratings assigned to the Company by
Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investor Service, is payable quarterly on the
unused portion of the facility. The facility contains customary affirmative and
negative covenants, including a maximum debt to capitalization ratio, a minimum
interest coverage ratio, a limitation on liens and a limitation on asset
dispositions.
The Company also engages in unsecured short-term borrowings with various
institutions pursuant to uncommitted facilities and bid note arrangements. At
March 31, 2001, the Company had $69.6 million in unsecured short-term borrowings
outstanding under these arrangements.
7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share for all periods presented equals net income
divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income, as adjusted for the assumed conversion of dilutive debentures, by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period
adjusted for the dilutive effect of the incremental shares that would have been
outstanding under the Company's stock option and restricted stock plans and the
incremental shares for the assumed conversion of dilutive debentures.
Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001
reflects the assumed conversion of the Company's Zero Coupon Convertible Senior
Debentures (the "Zero Coupon Debentures"), as the conversion in that period
would have been dilutive. Net income for dilutive earnings per share calculation
is adjusted to add back the amortization of original issue discount relating to
the Zero Coupon Debentures totaling $2.5 million on an after-tax basis.
The following reconciles basic and diluted weighted average shares
outstanding:

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On February 14, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued its tentative decisions on the accounting for goodwill in an Exposure
Draft, "Business Combinations and Intangible Assets - Accounting for Goodwill".
The FASB has tentatively concluded that purchased goodwill should not be
amortized; rather, it should be reviewed for impairment. According to the
Exposure Draft, this standard is expected to become effective on July 1, 2001,
although the effective date is not certain. Furthermore, the proposed standard
could be modified prior to its adoption. While this decision is tentative,
should it become final in its current form, the adoption of this standard's
requirements to not amortize goodwill would increase earnings per share,
excluding the impact of future acquisitions, approximately $0.07 per quarter in
2001. The Company is evaluating the impact of the proposed standard's
requirement for goodwill impairment analysis.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards
requiring that all derivative instruments, including derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
or liability, depending on the rights or obligations under the contracts, at its
fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value
be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
are met. For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of the
derivative instrument are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and
then are reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction
affects earnings. For a qualifying fair value hedge, the changes in fair value
of the derivative instrument are offset against the corresponding changes for
the hedged item through earnings. Such accounting for qualifying hedges allows a
derivative's gains and losses to offset related results of the hedged item in
the income statement and requires that a company formally document, designate
and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting
treatment. SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities", was issued in June 2000 and amends certain
provisions of SFAS No. 133. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 as
of January 1, 2001, with no financial statement impact as it did not and
currently does not engage in contracts or arrangements that qualify for
treatment under these standards.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 23, 2001 the Company acquired Orwell Group plc ("Orwell") for
total consideration of approximately $250.0 million, consisting of 3.4 million
shares of Common Stock and $85.0 million of assumed debt. Orwell is based in
Aberdeen, Scotland and is an international provider of oilfield services for
drilling, fishing, remediation and marine applications. This acquisition
increases the Company's share of the international markets and increases
capacity. These operations will be integrated into the Drilling and Intervention
Services Division. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.
In April 2001, the Company entered into a $250.0 million, three-year
multi-currency revolving credit facility, with commitment capacity of up to
$400.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the facility accrue interest at a
variable rate based on credit ratings assigned to the Company by Standard and
Poor's and Moody's Investor Service and borrowing levels under the facility. The
interest rate is initially priced at a Euro currency rate plus 0.75%. A
commitment fee of 0.125% is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the
facility. The facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants,
and reflects the same covenant structure as the Company's existing $250.0
million revolving credit agreement dated May 1998 which remains in effect.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Our business is conducted through three principal operating divisions:
(1) Drilling and Intervention Services, (2) Completion Systems and (3)
Artificial Lift Systems. In addition to these operations, we historically
operated a Compression Services Division and a Drilling Products Division. In
February 2001, we completed the merger of essentially all of our Compression
Services Division into a subsidiary of Universal Compression Holdings, Inc. in
exchange for 13.75 million shares of Universal common stock, or an approximate
48% interest in Universal. On April 14, 2000, we distributed to our stockholders
all of the outstanding shares of Grant Prideco, Inc., which held the operating
assets used in our Drilling Products Division. As a result of this distribution,
our Drilling Products Division is presented as discontinued operations in the
accompanying financial statements.
The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with our financial statements that are included with this report and
our financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31,
2000 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended on Form 10-K/A.
Our discussion of our results and financial condition includes various
forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and
services and our future results. These statements are based on certain
assumptions that we consider reasonable. For information about these
assumptions, you should refer to our section entitled "Forward-Looking
Statements."
MARKET TRENDS AND OUTLOOK
Our businesses serve the oil and gas industry. All of our businesses are
affected by changes in the worldwide demand and the price of oil and natural
gas. Certain of our products and services, such as our fishing and drilling
products, our well installation services and our well completion services, are
dependent on the level of exploration and development activity. Other products
and services, such as our artificial lift systems, are dependent on production
activity. We currently estimate that approximately two-thirds of our continuing
operations are primarily reliant on drilling activity, with the remainder
focused on production and reservoir enhancement activity.
The following chart sets forth certain historical statistics that are
reflective of the market conditions in which we operate:

(3) Average rig count for the applicable month - Source: Baker Hughes Rig Count
The oil and gas industry has been subject to extreme volatility in the last
few years. During 2000, the price of oil increased as a result of supply and
demand imbalances created by reduced customer production in 1998 and 1999 when
oil prices decreased and North American and international rig count hit
historical lows. Due to the supply and demand imbalances that caused the
increase in the price of oil, we experienced steady improvements in the demand
for our products and services in 2000. For the three months ended March 31,
2001, we saw customer spending on exploration and production activities continue
to grow.
12
14
Looking forward to the remainder of 2001, we expect continued improvements
due to anticipated market recovery outside North America. In general, we expect
the markets to affect our businesses as follows:
DRILLING AND INTERVENTION SERVICES. This division is expected to see
quarter on quarter improvements throughout the year in both revenue and
profitability. We believe this division should continue to see incremental
improvement from the North American market throughout the rest of the year.
Although somewhat more difficult to predict, we currently expect that the
markets in the Eastern Hemisphere and Latin America will experience sales
improvements of approximately 15% by year end through volume and pricing.
COMPLETION SYSTEMS. In 2000, we saw this division increase its revenue base
and position itself for growth in 2001 and beyond by expanding its sales and
service infrastructure and manufacturing capacity worldwide. In 2001, we will
complete our plan, which began in 2000, to increase our manufacturing capacity
by approximately 50% over our available capacity. We expect to realize the
benefits of this increase in the second half of 2001. We believe that operating
income generated by this division will substantially exceed that of comparable
periods of 2000.
The level of this division's contribution will be dependent on drilling
activity levels, particularly in the international markets, its ability to meet
market demand through increased manufacturing output and its ability to
successfully market its products such as its expandable product line and its
liner hanger and packer systems.
ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS. We expect that our Artificial Lift Systems
Division will continue to see revenue improvements on a year on year basis in
North America and Latin America, although this division's growth in North
America has been dwarfed as compared to the other divisions due to the higher
priority our customers are currently placing on natural gas projects over oil
projects. We believe we will experience continued improvements in margins as a
result of cost containment, higher throughput in our plants and the impact of
price increases initiated throughout 2000. Additional price increases were
implemented in Canada in the first quarter of 2001 and we expect to see the
impact of these increases in the second and third quarters of 2001. The second
quarter, however, will be impacted by the 'spring break-up' in Canada. The
magnitude of this seasonal trend is dependent on its duration.
Overall, the level of market improvements for our businesses in 2001 will
continue to be heavily dependent on the continued recovery in the North American
markets and the timing and strength of the recovery outside North America. Each
of our divisions will be affected by the seasonal downturn experienced each year
in Canada, normally during the second quarter. Although we believe that the
activity levels in our industry, particularly in the international markets, are
in the early stages of recovery, the extent of the recovery is difficult to
predict in light of the volatile nature of our business. In addition, the
continued strength of the industry is uncertain and will be highly dependent on
many external factors, such as world economic conditions, compliance with
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries quotas and weather conditions. The
extreme volatility of our markets makes predictions regarding future results
difficult.

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 reflected the
improved market conditions in which we were operating. These conditions had the
following effects on our results:
o Consolidated revenues improved 33% over the first quarter of 2000 as a
result of improved market conditions. Our first quarter 2001 revenues in
North America were $64.1 million higher than they were in the first quarter
of 2000. International revenues increased 54% from first quarter 2000
levels with the most significant increases occurring in Asia Pacific and
Latin America.
o The gross profit percentage increased 14% from the first quarter of 2000 to
the first quarter of 2001. This reflects higher volume and pricing
increases implemented during 2000, which continued into the first quarter
of 2001.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
revenues from 22% in the first quarter of 2000 to 18% in the first quarter
of 2001. The decrease primarily reflects a higher revenue base offset in
part by higher selling costs associated with the incremental revenues.
o Operating income increased 198% from the first quarter of 2000 due to
improved market conditions, primarily in North America and Latin America.
Incremental operating profit as a percentage of incremental revenue was
42%.
o Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 was 36%, as compared
to 35% for the first quarter 2000, due to higher profitability in North
America in 2001.
SEGMENT RESULTS
DRILLING AND INTERVENTION SERVICES
Our Drilling and Intervention Services Division continued to see
improvements in both revenue and operating income as North American and
international rig count improved significantly. Revenue increased 51% over the
first quarter of 2000 and 8% over the fourth quarter of 2000 while operating
profit improved 133% and 16%, respectively.
All product lines and geographic regions experienced increased revenue when
compared to the first quarter of 2000. The strongest product line revenue
improvements were in drilling products and underbalanced services.
Geographically, the strongest improvements were in North America and Latin
America.

2000 were:
o Our North American revenues for the first quarter of 2001 improved by 50%
over the same period of 2000 compared to rig count improvement of 33%. Our
international revenues, excluding Canada, increased by 51% from the first
quarter of 2000 due to the international rig count increase of 25%. The
most significant revenue increase occurred in Latin America where revenues
increased 86% from prior year levels.
o Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased due to increased volume
and pricing increases.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
revenues from 15% in the first quarter of 2000 to 11% in the first quarter
of 2001. The decrease primarily reflects a higher revenue base partially
offset by increased selling costs attributable to higher sales.
15
17
o Operating income increased $39.9 million in the first quarter of 2001 as
compared to first quarter of 2000 primarily due to improved market
conditions and pricing.
o Incremental EBITDA on incremental revenue was 44% showing substantial
returns on each dollar of additional revenue.
COMPLETION SYSTEMS
Our Completion Systems Division has shown steady improvements since its
formation in 1999 and continued to improve in the first quarter of 2001. Revenue
increased 60% from the first quarter of 2000 and 10% from the previous quarter.
Geographically, the most improved regions were North America and Asia Pacific.
On a product line basis, the strongest growth was in expandable products and
liner hangers.

Other material items affecting the results of our Completion Systems
Division for the first quarter of 2001 compared to first quarter of 2000 were:
o Revenues increased by 60% in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the
first quarter of 2000. The increase is due to the expansion of the
distribution of our core products and new product offerings.
o Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased 50% primarily due to
higher throughput in the manufacturing facilities and full integration of
our 1999 acquisitions.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
decreased from 29% in the first quarter of 2000 to 22% in the same period
in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to the higher revenue base.
o Research and development expenses for our Completion Services Division were
approximately $3.5 million, or 5% of sales during the quarter.
o Incremental EBITDA on incremental revenue was 35% demonstrating successful
growth for this division.
ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
Operating results from our Artificial Lift Systems Division are heavily
dependent on oil production activity. Revenues for this division increased
approximately 33% from first quarter 2000 levels, primarily in our international
markets. The most significant improvements were in Asia Pacific and Latin
America. On a product line basis, our reciprocating rod lift showed the greatest
improvement over first quarter 2000.

quarter of 2000 were:
o The first quarter of 2001 experienced an increase in revenues of 33%
compared to the first quarter of 2000 primarily as a result of improvements
in our international markets. North American revenues also improved 18%
compared to the first quarter of 2000 which is a considerable improvement
considering the moderate rate of recovery for North American oil.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
revenues from 26% in the first quarter of 2000 to 23% in the first quarter
of 2001 due to cost reductions previously implemented and a higher revenue
base.
o Operating income as a percentage of revenues improved to 11% for the first
quarter of 2001 as compared to 8% for the first quarter of 2000 due to cost
reductions and a higher revenue base.
o Incremental EBITDA on incremental revenue was 25% demonstrating this
division's continued progress in a market dominated by natural gas
activity.
COMPRESSION SERVICES
On February 9, 2001 we completed the merger of essentially all of our
Compression Services Division into a subsidiary of Universal in exchange for
13.75 million shares of Universal common stock, which approximates 48% of
Universal's outstanding shares. During the period up to the merger date, the
Compression Services Division contributed $26.9 million of revenue, $3.6 million
of EBITDA and an operating loss of $0.6 million to our consolidated results.
Subsequent to the merger date we began recording equity in earnings of
unconsolidated affiliates based on our portion of Universal's net income. The
compression businesses that were not included in the merger have been combined
with our Artificial Lift Systems Division.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our discontinued operations consist of our Grant Prideco drilling products
division which was spun-off to our stockholders in April 2000. We had a loss
from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the three months ended March 31,
2000 of $3.5 million. Included in the loss is $1.0 million of estimated
transaction costs, net of taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our current sources of capital are current reserves of cash, cash generated
from operations and borrowings under bank lines of credit. We believe that the
current reserves of cash, access to our existing credit lines and internally
generated cash from operations are sufficient to finance the projected cash
requirements of our current and future operations. We are continually reviewing
acquisitions in our markets. Depending upon the size, nature and timing of an
acquisition, we may require additional capital in the form of either debt,
equity or a combination of both.
17
19
As of March 31, 2001 our cash and cash equivalents were $52.2 million, a
net decrease of $101.6 million from December 31, 2000, which was primarily
attributable to the following:
o Payment to GE Capital for the acquisition of its minority interest in our
Compression Services Division of $206.5 million.
o Capital expenditures of property, plant and equipment from continuing
operations of $72.3 million, including $5.7 million for Compression
Services subject to sale and leaseback arrangements.
o Acquisition of new businesses for continuing operations of approximately
$42.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired.
o Cash outflows from operating activities associated with our continuing
operations of $7.3 million.
o Borrowings, net of repayments, on long-term debt and short-term facilities
of $217.8 million
BANKING FACILITIES
In May 1998, we put in place a five-year unsecured revolving credit
facility that allows us to borrow up to $250.0 million at any time. The facility
consists of a $200.0 million U.S. credit facility and a $50.0 million Canadian
credit facility. As of March 31, 2001, $53.9 million was available under the
credit facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the U.S. prime
rate or a variable rate based on the LIBOR. Our credit facility contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a maximum debt to
capitalization ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a limitation on liens
and a limitation on asset dispositions.
We have unsecured short-term borrowings with various institutions pursuant
to uncommitted lines of credit facilities and bid note arrangements. At March
31, 2001, we had $69.6 million in unsecured short-term borrowings outstanding
under these arrangements.
In April 2001, we entered into a $250.0 million, three-year multi-currency
revolving credit facility, with commitment capacity of up to $400.0 million.
Amounts outstanding under the facility accrue interest at a variable rate based
Credit ratings assigned to us by Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investor
Service and borrowing levels under the facility. The interest rate is initially
priced at a Euro currency plus 0.75%. A commitment fee of 0.125% is payable
quarterly on the unused portion of the facility. The facility contains customary
affirmative and negative covenants, and reflects the same covenant structure as
our existing $250.0 million revolving credit agreement dated May 1998 which
remains in effect.
ZERO COUPON CONVERTIBLE SENIOR DEBENTURES
On June 30, 2000, we completed the private placement of $910.0 million face
amount of our Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures. These debentures were
issued at $501.6 million providing the holders with an annual 3% yield to
maturity. As of March 31, 2001, the amount recorded on our balance sheet was
$513.0 million, net of original issue discount.
Holders may convert the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures into
shares of our common stock at any time before maturity at a conversion rate of
9.9970 shares per $1,000 principal amount at maturity or an initial conversion
price of $55.1425 per share of common stock. The effective conversion price will
increase as the accreted value of the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures
increases. We may redeem the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures on or
after June 30, 2005 at the accreted discounted amount at the time of redemption
as provided for in the indenture. The holders also may require us to repurchase
the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures on June 30, 2005, June 30, 2010
and June 30, 2015 at the accreted discounted amount at the time of redemption.
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED DEBENTURES
In November 1997, we completed a private placement of $402.5 million
principal amount of our 5% Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent
Debentures due 2027. The Convertible Preferred Debentures bear interest at an
annual rate of 5% and are convertible into common stock. The original conversion
was at a price of $80 per share; however, under the terms of the Convertible
Preferred Debentures, the conversion rate was adjusted to $53.34 per share
following our spin-off of Grant Prideco.
We have the right to redeem the Convertible Preferred Debentures at any
time on or after November 4, 2000, at redemption prices provided for in the
indenture agreement. The Convertible Preferred Debentures are subordinated in
18
20
right of payment of principal and interest to the prior payment in full of
certain existing and future senior indebtedness. We also have the right to defer
payments of interest on the Convertible Preferred Debentures by extending the
quarterly interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive quarters at any time
when we are not in default in the payment of interest.
7 1/4% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2006
We have outstanding $200.0 million of publicly traded 7 1/4% Senior Notes
due May 15, 2006. Interest on the 7 1/4% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually
on May 15 and November 15.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Our capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for our
continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $72.3
million and primarily related to drilling products equipment, fishing tools and
tubular service equipment. Included within these capital expenditures for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 was $5.7 million for our Compression Services
Division. Capital expenditures for 2001 are expected to be approximately $180
million. Our depreciation expense during the first quarter was $36.3 million.
ACQUISITIONS
On March 12, 2001, our Drilling and Intervention Services Division acquired
Tesco Corporation's underbalanced drilling business for total cash consideration
of approximately $32.8 million. We have paid $28.8 million and will pay an
additional $4.0 million upon receipt of the remaining Tesco foreign assets. The
assets acquired include underbalanced drilling systems plus stand-alone nitrogen
generating units, pressure control units and other related equipment. The
addition of Tesco's systems provides needed capacity to our rapidly growing
underbalanced drilling segment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001 we also completed various
other acquisitions for total consideration of $26.6 million.
On April 23, 2001 we acquired Orwell Group plc for total consideration of
approximately $250.0 million, consisting of 3.4 million shares of our common
stock and $85.0 million of assumed debt. Orwell is based in Aberdeen, Scotland
and is an international provider of oilfield services for drilling, fishing,
remediation and marine applications. This acquisition increases our share of the
international markets and increases capacity. These operations will be
integrated into our Drilling and Intervention Services Division.
Some of our acquisitions have resulted in substantial goodwill associated
with their operations, including the addition of goodwill of approximately $15.0
million during the three months ended March 31, 2001. The amortization expense
for goodwill and other intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2001
was $10.3 million.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On February 14, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its
tentative decisions on the accounting for goodwill in an Exposure Draft,
"Business Combinations and Intangible Assets - Accounting for Goodwill". The
FASB has tentatively concluded that purchased goodwill should not be amortized;
rather, it should be reviewed for impairment. The final statement is expected to
be issued in late June 2001, with an effective date of July 1, 2001. While this
decision is tentative, should it become final in its current form, the adoption
of this standard's requirements to not amortize goodwill would increase earnings
per share, excluding the impact of future acquisitions, approximately $0.07 per
quarter in 2001. The Company is evaluating the impact of the proposed standard's
requirement for goodwill impairment analysis.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement
establishes new accounting and reporting standards requiring that all derivative
instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, depending on the
rights or obligations under the contracts, at its fair value. The statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For a qualifying
cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of
19
21
the derivative instrument are initially recognized in other comprehensive
income and then are reclassified into earnings in the period the hedge
transaction affects earnings. For a qualifying fair value hedge, the changes in
fair value of the derivative instrument are offset against the corresponding
changes for the hedged item through earnings. Such accounting for qualifying
hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results of the
hedged item in the income statement and requires that a company formally
document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting treatment. SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," was issued in June 2000 and amends
certain provisions of SFAS No. 133. We adopted SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 as
of January 1, 2001, with no financial statement impact as we did not and
currently do not engage in contracts or arrangements that qualify for treatment
under these standards.
EXPOSURES
INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
Almost all of our customers are engaged in the energy industry. This
concentration of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk,
either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by
changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit
evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support
of our trade receivables. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and
generally, actual losses have historically been within our expectations.
LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE
In the ordinary course of business, we become the subject of various claims
and litigation. We maintain insurance to cover many of our potential losses and
we are subject to various self-retentions and deductibles with respect to our
insurance. Although we are subject to various ongoing items of litigation, we do
not believe that any of the items of litigation that we are currently subject to
will result in any material uninsured losses to us. It is, however, possible
that an unexpected judgment could be rendered against us in cases in which we
could be uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or
anticipate incurring.
We are also subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to the energy industry in general and the environment in
particular. Environmental laws have in recent years become more stringent and
have generally sought to impose greater liability on a larger number of
potentially responsible parties. While we are not currently aware of any
situation involving an environmental claim which would be likely to have a
material adverse effect on our business, it is always possible that an
environmental claim with respect to one or more of our current businesses or a
business or property that one of our predecessors owned or used could arise that
could involve the expenditure of a material amount of funds.
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE
Like most multinational oilfield service companies, we have operations in
certain international areas, including parts of the Middle East, North and West
Africa, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific region and the Commonwealth of
Independent States, that are inherently subject to risks of war, political
disruption, civil disturbance and policies that may:
o disrupt oil and gas exploration and production activities;
o restrict the movement of funds;
o lead to U.S. government or international sanctions; and
o limit access to markets for periods of time.
Historically, the economic impact of such disruptions has been temporary
and oil and gas exploration and production activities have resumed eventually in
relation to market forces. Certain areas, including the CIS, Algeria, Nigeria,
parts of the Middle East, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America, have been
subjected to political disruption that has negatively impacted results of
operations following such events.
CURRENCY EXPOSURE
A single European currency ("the Euro") was introduced on January 1, 1999,
at which time the conversion rates between legacy currencies and the Euro were
set for 11 participating member countries. However, the legacy currencies in
those countries will continue to be used as legal tender through January 1,
2002. Thereafter, the legacy currencies will be canceled, and the Euro bills and
coins will be used in the 11 participating countries. We are currently
evaluating the effect of the Euro on our consolidated financial statements and
our business operations; however, we do not foresee that the transition to the
Euro will have a significant impact.
20
22
Approximately 33% of our net assets from continuing operations are located
outside the United States and are carried on our books in local currencies.
Changes in those currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar result in translation
adjustments which are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive loss in the
stockholders' equity section on our balance sheet. We recorded a $19.9 million
adjustment to our equity account for the three months ended March 31, 2001
primarily to reflect the net impact of the decline in the Canadian dollar and
U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report, as well as other filings made by us with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and our releases issued to the public contain various
statements relating to future results, including certain projections and
business trends. We believe these statements constitute "Forward-Looking
Statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Certain risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to be materially
different from projected results contained in forward-looking statements in this
report and in our other disclosures. These risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to the following:
A Downturn in Market Conditions Could Affect Projected Results. Any
unexpected material changes in oil and gas prices or other market trends would
likely affect the forward-looking information provided by us. The oil and gas
industry is extremely volatile and subject to change based on political and
economic factors outside our control.
Our estimates of future results and industry trends are based on
assumptions regarding the future prices of oil and gas, the North American and
international rig counts and their effect on the demand and pricing of our
products and services. In analyzing the market and its impact on us for 2001, we
have made the following assumptions:
o Oil prices will average over $25 per barrel for West Texas
Intermediate crude.
o Average natural gas prices will exceed $4.00 per mcf.
o World demand for oil will be up only slightly.
o There will not be any material decline in world demand for oil or
North American demand for natural gas.
o Pricing will continue to be subject to market conditions and
competitive pricing pressures in certain markets and with respect to
certain product lines.
o We will be able to improve our margins through price increases and
such price increases will more than offset wage and other cost
increases.
These assumptions are based on various macroeconomic factors, and actual
market conditions could vary materially from those assumed.
A Future Reduction in the Rig Count Could Adversely Affect the Demand for
Our Products and Services. A decline in the North American and international rig
counts would adversely affect our results. Our forward-looking statements
regarding our drilling products assume an improvement in the rig count in 2001
and that there will not be any material declines in the worldwide rig count, in
particular the domestic rig count. Our statements also assume a continued
increase in the international markets during 2001.
Our Manufacturing Improvements. We have recently taken steps to increase
our manufacturing capacity and reduce manufacturing costs in our European
completion operations through the consolidation of facilities and additions of
equipment. These activities are still ongoing. We were adversely affected by the
relocation of manufacturing operations in our Completion Systems Division in the
second quarter of 2000. Our forward-looking statements assume that the
manufacturing expansion and consolidation will be completed without any further
material disruptions. If there are any additional disruptions or excess costs
associated with the manufacturing changes, the results of our Completion Systems
Division could be adversely affected.
Our Capacity Constraints. Our forward-looking information assumes that we
will have sufficient manufacturing capacity and personnel to address the demand
increases that we expect, as noted above. To the extent there are
21
23
limitations on capacity or personnel in areas in which the markets are
improving, our growth could be limited or our costs increased due to the need to
meet demand through outside sources.
Our Integration of Acquisitions. During 2000 and 2001, we consummated, or
agreed to consummate, various acquisitions of product lines and businesses. The
success of these acquisitions will be dependent on our ability to integrate
these product lines and businesses with our existing businesses and to eliminate
duplicative costs. We incur various duplicative costs during the integration of
the operations of acquired businesses into our businesses. Our forward-looking
statements assume the successful integration of the operations of the acquired
businesses and their contribution to our income during 2001. We have also
assumed that our compression business will be successfully consolidated with
Universal's and the estimated $20 million in cost savings and other synergies
will be realized in 2001. Integration of acquisitions is something that cannot
occur in the short term and that requires constant effort at the local level to
be successful. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate success
of these integration efforts.
Our Technological Advances. Our ability to succeed with our long-term
growth strategy is dependent in part on the technological competitiveness of our
products and services. A central aspect of our growth strategy is to enhance the
technology of our products and services, to expand the markets for many of our
products through the leverage of our worldwide infrastructure and to enter new
markets and expand in existing markets with technologically advanced value-added
products. These technological advances include our underbalanced drilling
technology, our expandable screen technology, our rotary expansion systems and
our recently added multilateral technology. Our forward-looking statements have
assumed above average growth from these new products and services in 2001.
Economic Downturn Could Adversely Affect Demand for Products and Services.
Although the economy in the United States has experienced one of its longest
periods of growth in recent history, the continued strength of the United States
economy cannot be assured. In fact, the United States and many foreign economies
have recently experienced a slowdown in growth. If the United States or European
economies were to continue to decline or if the economies of South America or
Asia were not to continue their recovery, the resulting demand and price for oil
and gas and our products and services could adversely affect our revenues and
income. We have assumed that a worldwide recession or a material downturn in the
United States or European economies will not occur.
Currency Fluctuations Could Have a Material Adverse Financial Impact. A
material decline in currency rates in our markets could affect our future
results as well as affect the carrying values of our assets. World currencies
have been subject to much volatility. Our forward-looking statements assume no
material impact from changes in currencies.
Changes in Global Trade Policies Could Adversely Impact Operation. Changes
in global trade policies in our markets could impact our operations in these
markets. We have assumed that there will be no material changes in global
trading policies.
Unexpected Litigation and Legal Disputes Could Have a Material Adverse
Financial Impact. If we experience unexpected litigation or unexpected results
in our existing litigation having a material effect on results, the accuracy of
the forward-looking statements would be affected. Our forward-looking statements
assume that there will be no such unexpected litigation or results.
Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in our other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For additional information
regarding risks and uncertainties, see our other current year filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will generally update
our assumptions in our filings, as circumstances require.
