WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein
have been prepared by Weatherford International, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
financial statements reflect all adjustments which the Company considers
necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements for the interim
periods presented. 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 restated audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 and notes
thereto included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 25,
1999. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
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 "Spinoff"), to holders of the Company's
common stock, $1.00 par value ("Common Stock"). In connection with and prior to
the Spinoff, the Company will transfer 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
(See Note 4).
Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform
such amounts to corresponding 1999 classifications.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories by category are as follows:

============= =============
Work in process and finished goods inventories include the cost of
material, labor and plant overhead.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 2, 1999, the Company acquired Petroline Wellsystems Limited
("Petroline") for a total consideration of approximately $165.0 million,
consisting of $32.2 million in cash and 3.8 million shares of Common Stock. The
Company also agreed to pay to the sellers additional funds in the event they
resell the shares of Common Stock received by them in the acquisition in certain
market transactions at a price less than $35.175 per share. This obligation
continues until October 2000. Petroline, based in Aberdeen, Scotland, is a
provider of premium completion products and services to the international oil
and gas industry. Petroline is the leading provider of flow control equipment in
the North Sea and was the first company to successfully introduce completion
products using new expandable tube technology.
On September 15, 1999, the Company acquired Williams Tool Co. ("Williams")
for 1.8 million shares of Common Stock. Williams, based in Fort Smith, Arkansas,
offers a full range of rotating control heads for horizontal, underbalanced and
low hydrostatic drilling operations. Williams products are used to control flow
from the wellbore to reduce the risk of blowouts when oil, gas, geothermal and
coal gas methane wells are being drilled with light fluids.

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
On August 31, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Dailey
International Inc. ("Dailey") pursuant to a pre-negotiated plan of
reorganization in bankruptcy. Under the terms of the acquisition, the Company
issued a total of approximately 4.3 million shares of Common Stock to the Dailey
noteholders and stockholders. Of the total number shares issued, the Company
issued approximately 4.0 million shares to the Dailey noteholders and
approximately 0.3 million shares to the Dailey common stockholders. At the time
of the acquisition of Dailey, the Company held approximately 24% of Dailey's
Senior Notes. In the reorganization, the Company contributed those notes to
Dailey and received approximately 1.2 million shares of Common Stock which the
Company holds as treasury shares. Because the Company held Senior Notes of
Dailey, which the Company acquired prior to the bankruptcy at a discount, the
total purchase price for Dailey, excluding assumed liabilities of Dailey that
were not impaired in the bankruptcy, was approximately $185.0 million.
Dailey is a leading provider of specialty drilling equipment and services
to the oil and gas industry and designs, manufactures and rents proprietary
downhole tools for oil and gas drilling and workover applications worldwide.
On February 2, 1999, the Company completed a joint venture with GE Capital
Corporation ("GE Capital") in which the Company's compression services
operations were combined with GE Capital's Global Compression Services
operations. The joint venture is known as Weatherford Global Compression
Services. The Company owns 64% of the joint venture and GE Capital owns 36%. The
Company has the right to acquire GE Capital's interest at anytime at a price
equal to a third party market-determined value that is not less than book value.
GE Capital also has the right to require the Company to purchase its interest at
anytime after February 2001 at a market-determined third party valuation as well
as request a public offering of its interest after that date, if the Company has
not purchased its interest by that time.
On February 8, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Christiana
Companies, Inc. ("Christiana") for approximately 4.4 million shares of Common
Stock and $20.6 million cash. In the acquisition, the Company acquired through
Christiana (1) 4.4 million shares of the Company's Common Stock, (2) cash, after
distribution to the Christiana shareholders, equal to the amount of Christiana's
outstanding tax and other liabilities and (3) a one-third interest in Total
Logistic Control, a refrigerated warehouse, trucking and logistics company. The
4.4 million shares of Common Stock acquired are classified as Treasury Stock, at
cost on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Because the
number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Christiana acquisition
approximated the number of shares of Common Stock held by Christiana prior to
the acquisition, the Christiana acquisition had no material effect on the
outstanding number of shares of Common Stock or net equity of the Company.
The Company also effected various other acquisitions during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 for total consideration of approximately $56.0 million,
of which $43.6 million was paid in cash and $12.4 million was paid in the form
of shares of Common Stock.
Through these acquisitions and the acquisitions of technology, the Company
increased its intangible assets by $57.0 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
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 following presents the
consolidated financial information for the Company on a pro forma basis assuming
the Dailey acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1998. All other 1998 and 1999
acquisitions are not material individually nor in the aggregate with same year
acquisitions, therefore, pro forma information is not presented. The pro forma
information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of the results that
actually would have been achieved had such transactions been consummated as of
January 1, 1998, or that may be achieved in the future.

Included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 is an
extraordinary loss, net of taxes recorded by Dailey of $17.6 million. This
extraordinary loss is the result of Dailey's repurchase of their 9 3/4% Senior
Notes in the first quarter of 1998, and represents the excess of the purchase
price for the notes over the carrying value on the date of repurchase.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In October 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to
spinoff Grant Prideco. The Spinoff is proposed to be effected through a
distribution by the Company to its stockholders of one share of stock of Grant
Prideco for each two shares of Common Stock held by the Company's stockholders.
The Spinoff is subject to the receipt of a favorable private letter ruling from
the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that receipt of shares of Grant
Prideco common stock should be tax free for federal income tax purposes to the
Company's stockholders and that the Company should not recognize a gain or loss
as a result of the Spinoff. A request for the private letter ruling was filed
with the Internal Revenue Service in July 1999 and that request is in the
process of being reviewed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company currently
expects that the Spinoff will occur during the first quarter of 2000.
Summary Financial Results
The results of operations for Grant Prideco are reflected in the
accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations as discontinued
operations, net of taxes. Condensed results of Grant Prideco were as follows:

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
In connection with the Spinoff, Grant Prideco will issue an unsecured
subordinated note to the Company in the amount of $100.0 million. The $100.0
million obligation will bear interest at an annual rate equal to 10.0%. Interest
payments will be due quarterly, and principal and all unpaid interest will be
due no later than December 31, 2001. Under the terms of the note, Grant Prideco
is required to repay this note with the proceeds of any debt or equity
financing, excluding financing under a credit facility or any equity issued in
connection with a business combination. The indebtedness of Grant Prideco to the
Company will be subordinated to the working capital obligations of Grant Prideco
to its banks. Grant Prideco currently intends to repay the obligation within 12
months from the completion of the Spinoff, pursuant to an anticipated public or
private debt financing. Grant Prideco's ability to repay this indebtedness,
however, will be dependent upon market conditions.
The Company's historical practice has been to incur indebtedness for its
consolidated group at the parent company level or at a limited number of
subsidiaries, rather than at the operating levels, and to centrally manage
various cash functions. Consequently, a portion of the Company's historical
interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations. The amount
allocated reflects interest expense associated with the Grant Prideco note
calculated using the Company's average long-term debt interest rates for the
applicable periods. The amount allocated using this methodology results in
amounts consistent with the allocation of interest expense based on a ratio of
the net assets of discontinued operations to the Company's consolidated net
assets plus debt.
The Completion and Oilfield Services Division and Artificial Lift Division
of the Company purchase drill pipe and other related products from Grant
Prideco. These purchases have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements. The amounts purchased for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 were $15.1 million and $22.7 million,
respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 were
$1.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Such purchases represent Grant
Prideco's cost.
The results from discontinued operations include a management fee charged
to Grant Prideco of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. The fee is
based on the time devoted to Grant Prideco for accounting, tax, treasury and
risk management services.
Grant Prideco was charged $1.4 million and $4.3 million of costs related to
the Company's information systems function in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, respectively and $1.4 million and $4.2 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Information systems
charges were based on direct support provided, equipment usage and number of
system users.
Proposed Agreements Between The Company and Grant Prideco
In connection with the Spinoff, Grant Prideco and the Company will enter
into a tax allocation agreement (the "Tax Allocation Agreement"). Under the
terms of the Tax Allocation Agreement, Grant Prideco, is responsible for all
taxes and associated liabilities relating to the historical businesses of Grant
Prideco. The Tax Allocation Agreement also provides that any tax liabilities
associated with the Spinoff shall be assumed and paid by Grant Prideco subject
to certain exceptions relating to changes in control of the Company. The Tax
Allocation Agreement further provides that in the event there is a tax liability
associated with the historical operations of Grant Prideco that is offset by a
tax benefit of the Company, the Company will apply the tax benefit against such
tax liability and will be reimbursed for the value of such tax benefit when and
as the Company would have been able to otherwise utilize that tax benefit for
its own businesses.
The Company intends to enter into a transition services agreement with
Grant Prideco for a period of one year from the Spinoff date. Under the
agreement, the Company will provide certain services requested by Grant Prideco.
The fee for these services will be based on a cost-plus 10% basis. The
transition services to be provided under this agreement may include accounting,
tax, finance services, employee benefit services, information services,
management information systems and may include any other similar services.

The Company also intends to enter into a preferred customer agreement with
Grant Prideco pursuant to which the Company will agree for at least a three year
period to purchase at least 70% of its requirements of drill stem product 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 will be entitled to apply against its purchases a drill stem credit
granted to it in the amount of $15 million, subject to a limitation of the
application of the credit to no more than 20% of any purchase.
5. 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. 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 by Standard and Poor's and Moody's
Investor Service to the Company, 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.
6. SALE AND LEASEBACK OF EQUIPMENT
The Compression Services Division has entered into various sale and
leaseback arrangements where it has sold $239.8 million of compression units and
has a right to sell up to another $110.2 million of compression units. Under
these arrangements, legal title to the compression units are sold to third
parties and leased back to the division under a five year operating lease with a
market-based purchase option.
As of December 31, 1998, the Compression Services Division had sold
compressors under these arrangements having appraised values of $119.6 million
and had received cash in the amount of $100.0 million and a receivable of $19.6
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Compression
Services Division sold additional compressors having an appraised value of
$120.2 million and received cash of $139.8 million. The sales resulted in an
additional pretax deferred gain of approximately $37.3 million, classified as
Deferred Income Taxes and Other on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed
Balance Sheets, which may be deferred until the end of the lease.
Of the proceeds received by the Compression Services Division from the sale
and leaseback of the compressor units, $100.0 million was distributed to the
Company by the division and $65.4 million was distributed to GE Capital as part
of the joint venture. The remaining proceeds of these sales were utilized by the
joint venture for internal corporate purposes and growth. The Company has
guaranteed certain of the obligations of the joint venture with respect to the
sale of $200.0 million of the compression units. The remaining sales by the
joint venture were done on a non-recourse basis to the Company and are limited
solely to the assets of the joint venture.
The following table provides future minimum lease payments (in thousands)
under the aforementioned lease as of September 30, 1999:

7. CUMULATIVE FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT
The functional currency for certain of the Company's international
operations is the applicable local currency. Results of operations for foreign
subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are
translated using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and
liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange
rates in effect at the balance sheet date and the resulting translation
adjustments are included as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Currency transaction gains and losses are
reflected in income for the period.
The net decline in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment
from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999 was $10.4 million. This decline
primarily reflects the financial impact of the devaluation of Latin American and
European currencies, partially offset by the strengthening Canadian dollar, as
compared to the U.S. dollar.
8. 1998 SPECIAL CHARGES
In the second quarter of 1998, the Company incurred $113.0 million in
merger and other charges relating to the merger between EVI, Inc. and
Weatherford Enterra, Inc. and a reorganization and rationalization of the
Company's businesses in light of the initial downturn in the industry. These
charges had been fully realized as of December 31, 1998.
The Company incurred a $47.0 million charge in the fourth quarter of 1998
related to the decline in our markets. As of December 31, 1998, $23.5 million of
these charges had been utilized. The remaining $23.5 million of these charges
were fully utilized in the first half of 1999 as follows:
o The severance and related costs included in the fourth quarter charges
were $7.6 million for the termination of approximately 940 employees
during the first half of 1999, in accordance with the announced plan.
These employees had all been terminated by June 30, 1999.
o The facility and plant closures of $12.8 million were accrued in the
fourth quarter of 1998 for the consolidation and closure of approximately
100 service, manufacturing and administrative facilities in response to
declining market conditions in the fourth quarter. These facilities had
all been closed as of June 30, 1999.
o The corporate related expenses of $3.1 million recorded in the fourth
quarter were primarily for the consolidation of technology centers, the
relocation of corporate offices and the related lease obligations to align
the corporate cost structure in light of current conditions.
o In the first half of 1999, $7.7 million of the 1998 fourth quarter charge
was utilized by the Completion and Oilfield Services Division, $12.1
million by the Artificial Lift Systems Division and $3.7 million by
Corporate.
9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year adjusted
for the dilutive effect of the incremental shares that would have been
outstanding under the Company's stock option and restricted stock plans. The
effect of stock options and restricted stock are not included in the diluted
computation for periods in which a loss from continuing operations occurs
because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. The effect of the Company's 5%
Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures due 2027 (the
"Debentures") on diluted earnings per share is anti-dilutive and thus is not
included in the calculation.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 provides a
comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of
derivatives and hedging activities. In June 1999 the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, amending the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Our business is conducted through three business segments: (1) Completion
and Oilfield Services, (2) Artificial Lift Systems and (3) Compression Services.
We also historically operated a Drilling Products segment that manufactures and
sells drill pipe and other drill stem products and premium tubulars and
connections. In October 1999, our Board of Directors approved the spinoff by us
of our Drilling Products segment. We have reclassified the operations of this
segment as a discontinued operation in light of the anticipated spinoff of the
segment.
The spinoff of our Drilling Products segment is proposed to be effected
through a distribution by us to our stockholders of one share of stock of our
Grant Prideco, Inc. subsidiary for each two shares of our common stock held by
our stockholders. The spinoff is subject to our receipt of a favorable private
letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service on certain aspects of the
spinoff. A request for the private letter ruling was filed with the Internal
Revenue Service in July 1999 and that request is in the process of being
reviewed by the Internal Revenue Service. A registration statement on Form 10
and related preliminary information statement describing the business, assets
and stock of Grant Prideco has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We currently expect that the spinoff of our Grant Prideco drilling
products division will occur during the first quarter of 2000.
The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with our financial statements that are included with this
report and our restated financial statements and related Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 25,
1999.
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. Certain of our products and
services, such as well installation services and our well completion services,
are dependent on the North American and worldwide level of exploration and
development activity. Other products and services, such as our artificial lift
systems and compression services, are dependent on oil and gas production
activity. We currently estimate that between 35% and 45% of our continuing
operations are primarily reliant on drilling activity, with the remainder
primarily related to production activity. All of our businesses, however, are
affected by changes in the worldwide demand and the price of oil and natural
gas.
During 1998, the price of oil ranged from a high of $17.62 per barrel of
West Texas Intermediate crude to a low of $10.44 per barrel of West Texas
Intermediate crude. The North American rig count also fell from a high of 1,508
rigs to a low in 1998 of 854. The international rig count, which typically
trails the domestic rig count by a number of months, fell in 1998 from a high of
819 to a low of 671. In 1999, the price of oil hit a low of $11.07 per barrel
and the North American and international rig counts reached historical lows of
534 and 556, respectively.
The downturn in the industry that began in 1998 led our customers to
substantially curtail their exploration and drilling activity during the second
half of 1998 and most of 1999. This reduction in activity resulted in
substantially lower purchases and rentals of equipment manufactured and sold by
us for the exploration and completion of wells. Our field services, such as
fishing and rental, and our sales of artificial lift and other production
equipment and services were also materially impacted by the fall in demand. We
were also impacted by an unprecedented wave of mergers and consolidations among
our customers due to the market conditions. Our customers also canceled, delayed
and rebid many projects to reduce their costs in light of market conditions. In
certain markets in the United States and Canada we believe activity fell by more
than 70%.
Although market conditions have adversely affected our businesses and their
results in 1999, we made the strategic decision to add to our core competencies
during this downturn and take advantage of desirable acquisitions in our
markets. This decision was based on our belief that the downturn would create
unique opportunities for us to acquire on desirable terms businesses and
capabilities that could serve as the platform for growth in the future. We also
believe that because of the consolidating nature of our industry, many of these
opportunities would not be available again. The principal acquisitions completed
by us in late 1998 and 1999 include:
(1) Our acquisitions of Cardium Oil Tools and Petroline Wellsystems in the
second and third quarters of 1999. These two acquisitions significantly
increased the capabilities of our completion division in the areas of
flow control, liner hangers and packers and added state of the art sand
control technology to our completion product offering. We also acquired
a 50% interest in SubTech, a company that provides products for
intelligent completions and production automation.
(2) Our acquisitions of Dailey International Inc. and Williams Tool Co. in
the third quarter of 1999 and ECD in the second quarter of 1999. These
three acquisitions have provided us with a complete integrated package
for the provision of underbalanced drilling services. We now have the
largest compression fleet in the industry used for underbalanced and
air drilling, our own proprietary line of pressure control equipment,
state of the art foam and chemical technology used for underbalanced
drilling and the largest fleet of nitrogen membrane units. The Dailey
acquisition also provided us with our own manufactured line of drilling
and fishing jars for use in our rental and fishing operations.
(3) Our joint venture with GE Capital which combined our Weatherford
Compression business with GE's Global Compression business to create
the second largest natural gas compression fleet in the industry. This
joint venture has allowed us to expand our compression operations into
the higher margin higher horsepower business as well as the growing
international markets.
(4) Our acquisition of various licenses, technologies and businesses in the
multi-lateral and re-entry market. These transactions have provided us
with key technologies and a platform for growth in the growing re-entry
and multi-lateral markets.
While we believe the steps we have taken over the last year to position us
for growth in the future should benefit our results as our industry improves,
the recent downturn in our industry has materially and adversely impacted our
results over the last year and a half through substantially lower sales and
margins. Our results have also been affected by higher average fixed and
variable costs associated with the maintenance of our extensive worldwide
manufacturing, sales and service infrastructure during a period of low activity.
15
17
Although we have sought over the past year to reduce our costs through
reductions in headcount and locations in light of this most recent industry
downturn, we believe that in order for us to effectively compete in our industry
against much larger competitors we must continue to maintain our market shares
and a strong presence in many of our markets, in particular the higher margin,
long-term growth international markets, notwithstanding the recent downturn. In
addition, we have incurred higher costs associated with our integration and
assimilation of acquisitions and new businesses and products into our
organization during the downturn. All of these circumstances, combined with
record low levels of activity, have materially reduced our margins and operating
profits since mid-1998.
Recently, the price of oil has increased due to members of the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries reducing production in compliance with
production quotas. Although oil prices have been higher for a number of months,
the increased prices have not yet translated to materially higher overall
activity in our business, in particular in the higher margin international and
offshore markets and the market for higher cost deep and difficult wells.
International activity outside North America is in fact still declining due to
the larger and longer nature of international projects.
The third quarter of 1999 also represented the first sequential quarterly
improvement that we have seen in our businesses in over a year. This improvement
was primarily due to higher oil prices and increased North American activity.
Activity in the United States and Canada gradually improved during the quarter
and is expected to continue to improve during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Notwithstanding this improvement in North America, we do not expect to see any
major improvements in business activity until 2000, in particular in the
international markets outside North America. Further, the timing of improvements
in our operations will be dependent upon the segment of the industry involved.
Our artificial lift group was the first to benefit from the recent improvements
as production projects were reinstated in light of the higher prices of oil, in
particular heavy oil in Canada. Natural gas activity in Canada is also
increasing. Our completion and downhole services group has recently begun to
benefit from the improved activity in North America. The pickup in this group,
however, is expected to be gradual and we expect that results in this group will
be affected by pricing pressures through at least the remainder of the year, in
particular in the international markets. Our compression business, which is less
affected by day-to-day market factors, is expected to improve slightly as a
result of recent improvements in domestic pricing.
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
Looking forward into the fourth quarter of 1999 and next year, we are
currently expecting improvements in most of our businesses as exploration and
production activity increase. This improvement will likely be gradual and felt
most strongly in North America. The level of market improvements for our
businesses will be heavily dependent on whether oil and natural gas prices can
remain at or about their present levels and the impact recent market
improvements may have on customer spending. Improvements in North America may
also be partially offset by a slower recovery in the international markets.
Although we believe that the activity levels in our industry are at or near
their bottom, the timing and extent of a recovery is difficult to predict and
will be dependent on many external factors such as compliance with OPEC quotas,
world economic conditions and weather conditions. The extreme volatility of our
markets makes predictions regarding future results difficult.

Our results for the three months ended September 30, 1999 reflected the
adverse market conditions described above in which we were operating. These
conditions had the following effects on our results:
o Third quarter 1999 consolidated revenues remained virtually unchanged
from third quarter 1998 as improvements in North American revenues were
offset by deterioration in international revenues. Our third quarter 1999
revenues in North America were $22.7 million higher than they were in the
third quarter of 1998 due to recent improvements in the North American
rig count, particularly Canada. International revenues decreased 16.8%
from third quarter 1998 levels as activity has continued to decline due
to the consolidations and internal restructurings at the major oil
companies.
17
19
o The gross profit percentage decreased 4.6% from the third quarter of 1998
to the third quarter of 1999. This decline reflects the general effects
of the downturn in the industry, in particular lower activity in the
higher margin international markets and pricing pressures throughout.
o Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 1999 due to
the addition of various new businesses and costs associated with the
introduction of new products and services.
o Operating income declined 59.7% from the third quarter of 1998 due to
lower pricing, higher operating and administrative costs and
manufacturing and operational inefficiencies associated with the decline
in activity. Although we have sought over the past year to reduce our
costs through reductions in headcount and locations in light of the
industry downturn, we have elected to maintain our market position and
international infrastructure in order to capitalize on the market
recovery when it occurs.
o Our corporate expenses as a percentage of revenues increased slightly
from 1.6% in the third quarter of 1998 to 1.7% in the third quarter of
1999.
o Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1999 was 29.0%, as
compared to 31.8% for the third quarter 1998, due to the mix between
foreign and U.S. tax attributes for 1999.
SEGMENT RESULTS
COMPLETION AND OILFIELD SERVICES
Our Completion and Oilfield Services Division experienced reductions in
revenue, operating income and margins as the international rig count declined
and the demand for its products and services dropped. In addition, although the
North American rig count has recently improved, a large part of the improvement
has been in the lower margin markets. Pricing pressures were also prevalent in
most of our markets in the quarter. Our Completion and Oilfield Services
Division was also materially affected by higher average fixed and variable costs
associated with the maintenance of its extensive worldwide manufacturing, sales
and service infrastructure during a period of low activity. In addition, costs
associated with the integration and assimilation of recent acquisitions and new
businesses and products into this division during the downturn for growth in the
future have reduced its profitability.
This division's North American completion and downhole services operations
were the most adversely affected by the downturn and continued to experience
pricing pressures throughout the quarter. In most of our international markets,
we are seeing significantly reduced volumes and are experiencing continued
pricing pressures due to soft demand. Although our completion and downhole
services group has begun to benefit from the improved activity in North America,
any improvements in operating results are expected to be gradual. Further, we
expect that results in this division will be affected by lower international
activity for the remainder of 1999 and pricing pressures through at least the
remainder of the year, in particular in the international markets.
The following chart sets forth additional data regarding the results of our
Completion and Oilfield Services Division for the third quarters of 1999 and
1998:

Other material items affecting the results of our Completion and Oilfield
Services Division for the third quarter of 1999 compared to 1998 were:
o Our domestic revenues for the third quarter of 1999 declined by 16.9% as
compared to the third quarter of 1998 due to an average rig count
reduction of 20.8%. Our international revenues, excluding Canada,
decreased by 18.3% from the third quarter of 1998 due to a rig count
reduction of 22.9%. The most
18
20
significant revenue decreases occurred in Europe, Africa, and the
Middle East where revenues declined 14.4%, 21.5%, and 28.6%, respectively
from prior year levels.
o Gross profit percentage declined in the third quarter of 1999 by 6.3% as
compared to the third quarter of 1998, due to revenue and pricing
declines and factory underutilization. The gross profit was further
reduced by the decline in higher margin international revenues.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage
of revenues from 10.6% in the third quarter of 1998 to 18.9% in the third
quarter of 1999. The increase primarily reflects a lower revenue base,
start up costs for new product lines and businesses, costs associated
with the integration and introduction of newly acquired businesses and
goodwill amortization associated with 1999 acquisitions. Selling, general
and administrative costs were negatively impacted by certain acquisitions
completed in 1999, in particular Dailey International Inc. and Williams
Tool Co., which had historically high selling, general and administrative
costs as a percentage of revenues. Because most of these businesses have
just recently been acquired, we have not yet been able to eliminate
redundant costs and expenses.
o Operating income declined $32.6 million in the third quarter of 1999
from the third quarter of 1998 primarily due to reduced revenues
associated with industry conditions and higher average costs due to
manufacturing and operational inefficiencies attributable to lower
operating levels.
ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
Operating results from our Artificial Lift Systems Division are heavily
dependent on oil production activity. Revenues for this division increased
approximately 12% from third quarter 1998 levels, primarily in response to
improved activity levels in North American markets, in particular Canada. This
division has also seen increased sales in the Latin American markets from second
quarter 1999 levels as its artificial lift products have begun to penetrate
those markets utilizing our worldwide infrastructure. We expect the results from
this division to continue to improve during the year. The level of improvement
in this division will depend on our customer's reaction to higher oil prices and
the strength of the recovery.

Other material items affecting the results of our Artificial Lift Systems
Division as reflected above for the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third
quarter of 1998 were:
o The third quarter of 1999 experienced an increase in revenues of 12.5%
compared to the third quarter of 1998 primarily as a result of recent
improvements in North American markets. The most significant improvement
was in Canada where revenues were up 53.5% from third quarter 1998 levels
as the Canadian rig count increased 19.8% period over period.
o Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased from 37.6% in the
third quarter of 1998 to 33.9% in the third quarter of 1999 due to
pricing pressures associated with depressed market conditions that
occurred during the earlier part of the year. We have recently begun to
see improvements in pricing as the market for artificial lift products
has begun its recovery.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage
of revenues from 34.7% in the third quarter of 1998 to 26.5% in the third
quarter of 1999 due to cost reductions previously implemented.
o Operating income as a percentage of revenues improved to 7.6% for the
third quarter of 1999 as compared to 2.9% for the third quarter of 1998
due to cost reductions.

COMPRESSION SERVICES
Our Compression Services Division's results for the third quarter of 1999
reflected increased revenues compared to the third quarter of 1998 as well as
sequential improvement over the second quarter of 1999. Contributing to the
increase in revenues was the February 1999 joint venture with GE Capital and
continued expansion into high value added, long-term contracts.
Our Compression Services Division recently expanded its international
presence through the award of a seven year contract with YPF S.A. in Argentina
to provide full compression rental, maintenance and service for approximately
$95.0 million over the term of the contract. This project became fully
operational in the third quarter of 1999 and contributed $3.0 million in
revenues.

Other material items affecting the results of our Compression Services
Division for 1999 compared to 1998 were:
o The increase in revenues primarily reflects the impact of the joint
venture, higher equipment sales, and the YPF contract.
o Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased slightly due to a
better product sales mix. Compressor rental revenues, which generally
have higher margins than equipment sales, increased as a percentage of
total revenues from the three months ended September 30, 1998 to the
three months ended September 30, 1999 due to the joint venture and the
YPF contract. This improvement was offset, in part, by the increase in
lower margin equipment sales.
o The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects
costs associated with the additional operations acquired in the joint
venture with GE.

Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 reflected the
depressed market conditions discussed above. These conditions had the following
effects on our results:
o Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 declined 18.3%
compared to the same period in 1998. Of the $194.3 million decline in
revenues from 1998 to 1999, $136.7 million, or 70.4%, was attributable to
sales in North America.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the
segments increased as a percent of revenue due primarily to a lower
revenue base and startup costs for new product lines and businesses,
costs associated with
21
23
the integration and introduction of newly acquired businesses and
goodwill amortization associated with 1999 acquisitions. Selling, general
and administrative costs were negatively impacted by certain acquisitions
completed in 1999, in particular Dailey International Inc. and Williams
Tool Co., which had historically high selling, general and administrative
costs as a percentage of revenues. Because most of these businesses have
just recently been completed, we have not yet been able to eliminate
redundant costs and expenses.
o Operating income declined $129.1 million to $43.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $172.4 million, excluding
the effect of merger and other charges, for the same period in 1998. This
resulted from lower revenues, lower margins, and increased selling,
general and administrative expenses attributable to segments. The
reduction in margins reflected pricing pressures throughout our markets
and higher average fixed and variable costs associated with the
maintenance of our extensive worldwide manufacturing, sales and service
infrastructure during a period of low activity.
o The decrease in corporate expenses from 1998 was primarily attributable
to consolidation savings.
SEGMENT RESULTS
COMPLETION AND OILFIELD SERVICES
Our Completion and Oilfield Services Division experienced reductions in
revenue, operating income and margins as the rig count declined and demand for
this division's products and services dropped. This division's North American
operations were the most adversely affected by the downturn during the first
half of 1999. International activity outside of North America has also declined
significantly during the year. All our markets in this division experienced
pricing pressures associated with the drop in activity and demand. The on-going
cost of maintaining this division's international infrastructure, which is
necessary for long-term success, and the cost of the integration and
assimilation of acquisitions completed in 1999 and new businesses and products
during the downtown have further eroded its profitability.

assets and $0.5 million for write-off of inventory. The write-off of
inventory has been classified as cost of products.
Other material items affecting the results of our Completion and Oilfield
Services Division were:
o Our North American revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 declined by 33.6% as compared to 1998 due to an average rig count
reduction of 32.7%.
o Our international revenues, excluding Canada, decreased by 14.1% in the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $279.5 million, as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The most significant revenue
decrease occurred in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East where revenues
decreased 12.6%, 10.9%, and 15.7%, respectively.
o Our gross profit percentage, excluding the effect of the merger and
other charges, declined in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by
7.9%, from the same period in 1998 due to revenue and pricing declines
and plant under absorption. The gross profit percentage was further
reduced by the loss of international sales which tend to have higher
profit margins.
22
24
o Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage
of revenues from 11.0% in nine months ended September 30, 1998 to 19.0%
in 1999. The increase primarily reflects a lower revenue base and start
up costs relating to new product lines and businesses, costs associated
with the integration and introduction of newly acquired businesses and
goodwill amortization associated with 1999 acquisitions. Selling, general
and administrative costs were negatively impacted by certain acquisitions
completed in 1999, in particular Dailey International Inc. and Williams
Tool Co., which had historically high selling, general and administrative
costs as a percentage of revenues.
o Operating income, excluding the effect of merger and other charges,
declined in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $36.9 million
from $155.5 million in 1998 primarily due to reduced revenues associated
with industry conditions, higher costs and resulting operational
inefficiencies attributable to lower operating levels.
ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
Our Artificial Lift Systems Division's results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998, were down significantly
due to a substantial reduction in demand during the first half of 1999 for our
artificial lift products following the downturn in the industry. This decline
was most pronounced in North America where our sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, represented approximately 82.7% of the division's total
revenue.

Other material items affecting the results of our Artificial Lift Systems
Division as reflected above were:
o The nine months ended September 30, 1999 experienced a decline in
revenues of 25.8% compared to the same period in 1998 due to the
industry downturn which began to impact this division in the second
quarter of 1998. Revenues in North America decreased $49.3 million or
22.3%, from the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to the same period
in the current year.
o Gross profit, excluding the effect of merger and other charges,
declined to $71.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999
from $107.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 due
primarily to a lower revenue base and pricing declines. Gross profit,
excluding the effect of the merger and other charges, as a percent of
revenue remained constant period over period at approximately 36.0%.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses declined due to the cost
reductions implemented in response to the depressed industry
conditions. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.3%
as a percent of revenue due to lower revenue levels.
o The decline in operating income, excluding the effect of the merger
and other charges, of $15.8 million for the first nine months of 1999,
as compared to the same period in 1998 is a result of the sharp decline
in revenues and pricing pressures.

COMPRESSION SERVICES
Our Compression Services Division's results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 reflected improved revenues, margins, and operating income as
compared to the same period in 1998. The improvements were primarily
attributable to a better revenue mix and the impact of the joint venture entered
into with GE Capital in February 1999.

to the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to the joint venture
with GE and an increase in equipment sales.
o Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased due to improved
product and sales mix, offset by pricing pressures in the United States
rental market.
o The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects
costs associated with the additional operations acquired in the joint
venture with GE.
1998 SPECIAL CHARGES
In the second quarter of 1998, we incurred $113.0 million in merger and
other charges relating to the merger between EVI and Weatherford Enterra and a
reorganization and rationalization of our businesses in light of the initial
downturn in the industry. These charges had been fully realized as of December
31, 1998.
We incurred a $47.0 million charge in the fourth quarter of 1998 related to
the significant decline that occurred in our markets at the end of 1998. As of
December 31, 1998, $23.5 million of these charges had been utilized. The
remaining $23.5 million of these charges were fully realized in the first half
of 1999 as follows:
o The severance and related costs included in the fourth quarter
charges were $7.6 million for the termination of approximately 940
employees during the first half of 1999, in accordance with the
announced plan. These employees had all been terminated by June 30,
1999.
o The facility and plant closures of $12.8 million were accrued in the
fourth quarter of 1998 for the consolidation and closure of
approximately 100 service, manufacturing and administrative facilities
in response to declining market conditions in the fourth quarter.
These facilities had all been closed as of June 30, 1999.
o The corporate related expenses of $3.1 million recorded in the fourth
quarter were primarily for the consolidation of technology centers,
the relocation of corporate offices and the related lease obligations
to align the corporate cost structure in light of current conditions.
o In the first half of 1999, $7.7 million of the 1998 fourth quarter
charge was utilized by the Completion and Oilfield Services Division,
$12.1 million by the Artificial Lift Systems Division and $3.7 million
by Corporate.

26
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our discontinued operations consist of our Grant Prideco drilling products
division. Results from discontinued operations were as follows:
o We had a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, of $14.1 million and income
from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 of $20.5 million.
o We had a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 of $19.3 million and income from
discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, of $69.8 million.
o Included in the loss from discontinued operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 are $3.5 million, net of taxes,
of estimated transaction costs which were accrued in the third
quarter.
Our discontinued operations results reflect the extreme adverse market
conditions that have existed in the oilfield equipment market since 1998. These
conditions have resulted in substantially lower purchases of drill pipe and
other drill stem products as well as sharply lower purchases of premium tubulars
and connections. Although oil prices have been higher for a number of months,
the increased prices have not yet translated to materially higher drilling
activity. However, orders for drill stem products and other premium tubular
products are increasing, and we expect that demand will continue to improve
absent another material decline in oil prices. We currently expect that demand
for Grant Prideco's drill pipe and other drill stem products will slowly improve
during 2000, with most of the improvement occurring in the second half of 2000.
We expect that results will be significantly better in 2000 than they were in
1999. Nevertheless, demand for these products continues to be highly dependent
upon drilling activity and the price of oil and natural gas and any material
decline in the price of oil and natural gas or drilling activity could result in
further delay in the recovery.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our current sources of capital are current cash, cash generated from
operations and borrowings under bank lines of credit. We believe that the
current reserves of cash and short-term investments, 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.
The following chart contains information regarding our capital resources
and borrowings and exposures as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998:

The reduction in our cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 1998, was
primarily attributable to the following:
o Borrowings, net of repayments, on term debt and other short-term
facilities of $127.7 million.
25
27
o Proceeds from the sale and leaseback of compression units of $139.8
million. Of these proceeds, $65.4 million were subsequently paid to
GE Capital under terms of the joint venture agreement.
o Capital expenditures of property, plant and equipment from continuing
operations of $134.7 million, including $79.7 million for the
purchase of compression equipment and related assets for our
Compression Services Division for use in North America and Argentina.
o Capital expenditures of property, plant and equipment from
discontinued operations of $14.8 million.
o Acquisition of new businesses for continuing operations of
approximately $78.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired.
o Acquisition of new businesses for discontinued operations of
approximately $35.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and the
repayment of approximately $48.0 million in indebtedness incurred for
Grant Prideco's acquisition of substantially all the outstanding
shares of the company that owns its Veracruz, Mexico manufacturing
facility.
o Cash inflow from operating activities associated with our continuing
operations of $24.5 million.
o Cash inflow from operating activities of discontinued operations of
$55.2 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 September 30, 1999, $66.6 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.
CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED 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 Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 5% and
are convertible into Common Stock at a price of $80 per share. We have the right
to redeem the Debentures at any time on or after November 4, 2000, at redemption
prices provided for in the indenture agreement, and are subordinated in 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 Debentures by extending the quarterly interest
payment period on the Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters at any time
when we are not in default in the payment of interest. Under the terms of the
Debentures, the conversion rate for the Debentures will be adjusted following
our spinoff of Grant Prideco. The following sets forth the formula for the
adjustment to the conversion rights of the Debentures for the proposed spinoff.
Conversion Price x A - B
($80 per share) -----
A
A = The current market price per share of our common stock on
the payment date for the distribution. The current market
price of our common stock for purposes of the adjustment is
defined in Section 6.3(g) of the First Supplemental Indenture
and is generally defined as the average of the daily closing
price of our common stock for the ten trading days ending on
the day of the distribution of the Grant Prideco common stock
to our stockholders.
B = Fair market value of the Grant Prideco common stock to be
distributed as determined by our Board of Directors.
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 of each year.

COMPRESSION FINANCING
Our Compression Services Division has entered into various sale and
leaseback arrangements where it has sold $239.8 million of compression units and
has a right to sell up to another $110.2 million of compression units. Under
these arrangements, legal title to the compression units are sold to third
parties and leased back to the division under a five year operating lease with a
market based purchase option.
As of December 31, 1998, our Compression Services Division had sold
compressors under these arrangements having appraised values of $119.6 million
and had received cash in the amount of $100.0 million and a receivable of $19.6
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, our Compression
Services Division sold additional compressors having an appraised value of
$120.2 million and received cash of $139.8 million.
Of the proceeds received by our Compression Services Division from the sale
and leaseback of the compressor units, $100.0 million was distributed to us by
the division and $65.4 million was distributed to GE Capital as part of the
joint venture. The remaining proceeds of these sales were utilized by the joint
venture for internal corporate purposes and growth. We have guaranteed certain
of the obligations of the joint venture with respect to the sale of $200.0
million of the compression units. The remaining sales by the joint venture were
done on a non-recourse basis to us and are limited solely to the assets of the
joint venture.
Our Compression Services Division continues to review potential projects
for expansion of its operations both domestically and internationally. Depending
on the size of these projects, we expect that the financing of the projects will
be funded with the joint venture's cash flow from operations, proceeds from its
sale and leaseback arrangements or new project or similar type financings.
GRANT PRIDECO NOTE
In connection with our proposed spinoff of Grant Prideco, we expect to
receive from Grant Prideco an unsecured subordinated note to us in the amount of
$100.0 million. The $100.0 million obligation to us will bear interest at an
annual rate equal to 10.0%. Interest payments will be due quarterly, and
principal and all unpaid interest will be due no later than December 31, 2001.
Under the terms of the note, Grant Prideco will be required to repay this note
with the proceeds of any debt or equity financing, excluding financing under a
credit facility or any equity issued in connection with a business combination.
The indebtedness of Grant Prideco to us will be subordinated to the working
capital obligations of Grant Prideco to its banks. Grant Prideco currently
intends to repay the obligations within 12 months from the completion of the
spinoff, pursuant to an anticipated public or private debt financing. Grant
Prideco's ability to repay this indebtedness, however, will be dependent upon
market conditions.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Our capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for our
continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$134.7 million and primarily related to compression and other rental equipment,
fishing tools and tubular service equipment. Included within our capital
expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $79.7 million for
our Compression Services Division which primarily related to U.S. assets and our
long term contract with YPF. A portion of the 1999 capital expenditures related
to projects initiated at the end of 1998. Capital expenditures for the fourth
quarter of 1999 are expected to be approximately $15.0 million to $20.0 million
and will be primarily maintenance related, excluding our compression operations.
Capital expenditures for our compression operations will be based on contract
needs and the timing of new projects entered into by our compression joint
venture.
27
29
Our compression operations are, by their nature, capital intensive and
require substantial investments in compressor units. These capital investments
have historically been financed through existing cash and internally generated
cash flow. We expect that future capital investments by our compression division
will be financed by our compression joint venture through debt, sale and
leaseback arrangements and other similar financing structures that are repaid
from the cash flows generated from the compressor units over the projected term
of rental of the equipment.
ACQUISITIONS AND JOINT VENTURES
In February 1999, we completed a joint venture with GE Capital Corporation
in which we combined our compression services operations with GE Capital's
Global Compression's services operations. The joint venture, which is known as
Weatherford Global Compression Services, is the world's second largest provider
of natural gas contract compression services and owns or manages over 4,500
compression units worldwide having approximately 1.1 million horsepower. We own
64% of the joint venture and GE Capital owns 36%. We have the right to acquire
GE Capital's interest at anytime at a price equal to a third party market
determined value that is not less than book value. GE Capital also has the right
to require us to purchase its interest at any time after February 2001 at a
third party market determined value as well as request a public offering of its
interest after that date if we have not purchased its interest by that time.
In February 1999, we acquired Christiana Companies, Inc. for approximately
4.4 million shares of our common stock and $20.6 million cash. In the
acquisition we acquired through Christiana (i) 4.4 million shares of our common
stock, (ii) cash, after distribution to the Christiana shareholders, equal to
the amount of Christiana's outstanding tax and other liabilities and (iii) a
one-third interest in Total Logistic Control, a refrigerated warehouse, trucking
and logistics company. We acquired Christiana because it gave us a unique
opportunity to own an interest in Total Logistic Control for essentially no
consideration other than our agreement to pursue the acquisition.
On August 31, 1999, we completed our acquisition of Dailey International
Inc. pursuant to a pre-negotiated plan of reorganization in bankruptcy. Under
the terms of the acquisition, we issued a total of approximately 4.3 million
shares of our common stock to the Dailey noteholders and stockholders. Of the
total number shares issued, we issued approximately 4.0 million shares to the
Dailey noteholders and approximately 0.3 million shares to the Dailey common
stockholders. At the time of our acquisition of Dailey, we held approximately
24% of Dailey's Senior Notes. In the reorganization, we contributed those notes
to Dailey and received approximately 1.2 million shares of our own common stock
which we hold as treasury shares. Because we held Senior Notes of Dailey, which
we acquired prior to the bankruptcy at a discount, the total purchase price for
Dailey, excluding assumed liabilities of Dailey that were not impaired in the
bankruptcy, was approximately $185.0 million.
Dailey International is a leading provider of specialty drilling equipment
and services to the oil and gas industry and designs, manufactures and rents
proprietary downhole tools for oil and gas drilling and workover applications
worldwide.
In September 1999, we acquired Petroline Wellsystems Limited for a total
consideration of approximately $165.0 million, consisting of $32.2 million in
cash and 3.8 million shares of our common stock. We also agreed to pay to the
sellers additional funds in the event they resell the shares of our stock
received by them in the acquisition in certain market transactions at a price
less than $35.175 per share. This obligation continues until October 2000.
Petroline, based in Aberdeen, Scotland, is a provider of premium completion
products and services to the international oil and gas industry. Petroline is
the leading provider of flow control equipment in the North Sea and was the
first company to successfully introduce completion products using new expandable
tube technology.
On September 15, 1999, we acquired Williams Tool Co. for 1.8 million shares
of our common stock. Williams, based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, offers a full
range of rotating control heads for horizontal, underbalanced and low
hydrostatic drilling operations. Williams products are used to control flow from
the wellbore to reduce the risk of blowouts when oil, gas, geothermal and coal
gas methane wells are being drilled with light fluids.
In the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we also completed eight
acquisitions for our Completion and Oilfield Services Division for consideration
of cash plus assumed debt of $42.6 million and shares of our common stock having
a value of $12.4 million.
28
30
We also completed acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30,
1999 that will be integrated into Grant Prideco for total consideration of $36.6
million in cash and assumed debt and shares of our common stock having a value
of $17.3 million.
Some of our acquisitions have resulted in substantial goodwill associated
with their operations, including goodwill of approximately $327.8 million
relating to our 1999 acquisitions. Through these acquisitions and acquisitions
of technology, we have increased our intangible assets by $57.0 million in 1999.
The amortization expense for goodwill and other intangibles during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 was $17.0 million.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 provides a
comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of
derivatives and hedging activities. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, amending the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to
years beginning after June 15, 2000. We are currently evaluating the impact of
SFAS No. 133 on our consolidated financial statements.
YEAR 2000 MATTERS
The Year 2000 issue is the risk that information systems, computers,
equipment and products using date-sensitive software or containing computer
chips with two-digit date fields will be unable to correctly process the Year
2000 date change. If not identified and corrected prior to the Year 2000,
failures could occur in our software, hardware, equipment and products and those
of our suppliers, vendors and customers that could result in interruptions in
our business. Any failure could have a material impact on us.
In response to the Year 2000 issue, we have prepared and implemented a plan
("Year 2000 Plan") to assess and remediate significant Year 2000 issues in our:
o Information technology systems ("IT"), including computer software and
hardware.
o Non-information technology systems utilizing date-sensitive software
or computer chips ("Non-IT"), including products, facilities,
equipment and other infrastructures.
Our management information systems department ("MIS Department"), together
with our technical and engineering employees and outside consultants, are
responsible for the implementation and execution of the Year 2000 Plan. Our Year
2000 Plan is a comprehensive, multi-step process covering our IT and Non-IT
systems. The primary phases of the Year 2000 Plan are:
(1) Assessing and analyzing our systems to identify those that are not
Year 2000 ready.
(2) Preparing cost and resource estimates to repair, remediate or replace
all systems that are not Year 2000 ready.
(3) Developing a Company-wide, detailed strategy to coordinate the repair
or replacement of all systems that are not Year 2000 ready.
(4) Implementing the strategy to make all systems Year 2000 ready.
(5) Verifying, testing and auditing the Year 2000 readiness of all
systems.
As of September 30, 1999, the first, second, third and fourth phases of the
Year 2000 Plan had been completed. The fifth phase will be completed by the end
of the fourth quarter of 1999. Any unexpected delays or problems that prevent us
from completing the final phase of the Year 2000 Plan in a timely manner could
have a material adverse impact on us.
In addition to our assessment and review of our own systems, we are
communicating with our third-party contractors, such as vendors, service
providers and customers, for the purpose of evaluating their readiness for the
Year 2000 and determining the extent to which we may be affected by the
remediation of their systems, software, applications and products. We continue
to review and evaluate the Year 2000 programs of our significant third-party
contractors. However, there can be no guarantee that our IT and Non-IT systems
of third-party contractors
29
31
will be Year 2000 ready or that the failure of any such party to have Year 2000
ready systems would not result in interruptions in our business which could have
a material adverse impact on us.
In connection with the implementation and completion of the Year 2000 Plan,
we currently expect to incur pretax expenditures of approximately $9.5 million.
We have incurred approximately $9.2 million of such expenditures from January
1998 through September 30, 1999, of which, approximately $7.6 million has been
incurred in connection with the replacement of our business application software
and approximately $1.6 million has been incurred in connection with the
replacement of certain IT hardware systems. We intend to continue to fund the
Year 2000 Plan expenditures with working capital and third-party lease
financing. Based upon information currently available, we believe that
expenditures associated with achieving Year 2000 compliance will not have a
material impact on operating results. However, any unanticipated problems
relating to the Year 2000 issue that result in materially increased expenditures
could have a material adverse impact on us.
The 1999 expenditures associated with the Year 2000 Plan represent
approximately 15% of our 1999 MIS Department's budget. Various other IT projects
that are not related to the Year 2000 issue have been deferred due to the Year
2000 efforts. The effects of these delays are not expected to have a material
impact on us.
We are unable to predict the most likely worst case Year 2000 scenario. We
are preparing a contingency plan in response to Year 2000 worst case scenario
and we estimate no lost revenues due to Year 2000 issues. However, there can be
no assurance that any contingency plan developed by us will be sufficient to
alleviate or remediate any significant Year 2000 problems that we may
experience.
The above discussion of our efforts and expectations relating to the risks
and uncertainties associated with the Year 2000 issues and our Year 2000 Plan
contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve predictions and
expectations concerning our ability to achieve Year 2000 compliance, the amount
of costs and expenses related to the Year 2000 issue and the effect the Year
2000 issue may have on business and results of operations. Certain risks and
uncertainties may cause actual results to be materially different from the
projected or expected results, the overall effect of which may have a materially
adverse impact on us. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, unanticipated problems and costs identified in all phases of the Year 2000
Plan, our ability to successfully implement the Year 2000 Plan in a timely
manner and the ability of our suppliers, vendors and customers to make their
systems and products Year 2000 compliant.
EXPOSURES
INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
Substantially 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. Many of our customers have slowed
the payment of their accounts in light of current industry conditions and others
have experienced greater financial difficulties in meeting their payment terms.
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 for that matter.
30
32
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 that would likely 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 which 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.
Approximately 69.3% 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 on our balance sheet. We recorded a $10.4
million adjustment to our equity account for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 to reflect the net impact of the decline in Latin American and European
currencies, partially offset by the strengthening Canadian dollar, against the
U.S. dollar.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and public releases contain statements relating to our 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 Further 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 contained in
this report. Our estimates as to future results and industry trends make
assumptions regarding the future prices of oil and gas and their effect on
the demand and pricing of our products and services. In analyzing the
market and its impact on us for the remainder of 1999 and into 2000, we
have made the following assumptions:
31
33
o The recent increase in the price of oil will result in modest
improvements on our businesses in the fourth quarter of 1999 and
continue to improve through 2000, with the strongest improvements
expected to incur in the second half of 2000.
o Oil prices will average around $20 per barrel for 2000.
o Average natural gas prices for 2000 will remain at or near their
current levels.
o World demand for oil will be up only marginally or flat.
o Drilling activity will increase slightly beyond normal demand as oil
companies seek to replace and produce reserves that were not replaced
or produced in 1999.
o North American and international rig counts will improve, with
increases in the international rig count following the North American
rig count increase by around six months. In 2000, we expect the average
rig count for North America to be around 1,040 and the international
rig count to average around 629.
o Pricing for many of our products and services will continue to be
subject to pricing pressures due to industry consolidations and
competition as the industry recovers.
o Our completion and downhole services business will begin to experience
slight improvements in the fourth quarter.
o Demand for compression services will remain relatively flat for the
remainder of the year with some pricing pressure.
o Future growth in the industry will be dependent on technological
advances that can reduce the costs of exploration and production, and
technological improvements in tools used for re-entry, thru-tubing and
extended reach drilling as well as artificial lift technologies will be
important to our future.
These assumptions are based on various macroeconomic factors, and actual
market conditions could vary materially from those assumed.
A Continuation of the Low Rig Count Could Adversely Affect the Demand for
Our Products and Services. Our operations were materially affected by the
decline in the rig count during 1998 and 1999 to date. Although the North
American rig count has improved slightly from its historical low earlier
this year, a further 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
2000 and that there will not be any further material declines in the
worldwide rig count, in particular the domestic rig count.
Projected Cost Savings Could Be Insufficient. During 1998 and 1999 to
date, we implemented a number of programs intended to reduce costs and
align our cost structure with the current market environment. Our
forward-looking statements regarding cost savings and their impact on our
business assume these measures will generate the savings expected. However,
if the markets continue to decline, additional actions may be necessary to
achieve the desired savings.
Grant Spinoff. We are currently proposing a spinoff of our Grant Prideco
drilling products business. The spinoff of this business is subject to the
receipt of a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service confirming that the spinoff will be generally tax free to us and
our shareholders. There can be no assurance that a spinoff of the business
will occur or the specific timing thereof.
Integration of Acquisitions. During the last year, we have consummated
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 eliminate duplicative
costs. We have incurred various duplicative costs with respect to the
operations of companies and businesses acquired by us during 1999 pending
the integration of the acquired businesses with our businesses. Revenue and
income benefits from the acquisitions have also been delayed due to the
current adverse market conditions. Our forward-looking statements assume
the successful integration of the acquired businesses and their
contribution to our income during 2000. Integration of acquisitions is
something that cannot occur overnight and is something that requires
constant effort at the local level to be successful. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance as to the ultimate success of our integration efforts.
Weatherford's Success is Dependent upon Technological Advances. Our
ability to succeed with our long-term growth strategy is dependent on the
technological competitiveness of our product and service offerings. 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
32
34
markets and expand in existing markets with technologically advanced
value-added products. Our forward-looking statements have assumed gradual
growth from these new products and services during 2000.
Unexpected Year 2000 Problems Could Have an Adverse Financial Impact. We
have not fully determined the impact of Year 2000 on our systems and
products. It is possible that unexpected problems associated with the Year
2000 could arise during the implementation of our Year 2000 program that
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. We are currently in the testing phase of our
Year 2000 program and expect it to be completed by the end of November
1999.
Economic Downturn Could Adversely Affect Demand for Products and
Services. The economic downturn that began in Asia in 1997 affected the
economies in other regions of the world, including South America and the
former Soviet Union, and contributed to the decline in the price of oil and
the level of drilling activity. Although the economy in the United States
also has experienced one of its longest periods of growth in recent
history, the continued strength of the United States economy cannot be
assured. If the United States or European economies were to begin to
decline or if the economies of South America or Asia were to experience
further material problems, the demand and price for oil and gas and our
products and services could again adversely affect our revenues and income.
We have assumed that a worldwide recession or a material downturn in the
United States economy 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 because our
financial position is generally dollar based or hedged. For those revenues
denominated in local currency the effect of foreign currency fluctuations
is largely mitigated because local expenses are denominated in the same
currency.
Changes in Global Trade Policies Could Adversely Impact Operations.
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
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.
