INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 19, 2016, registrant issued a press release entitled “Halliburton Announces Third Quarter 2016 Results."

The text of the Press Release is as follows:

HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

HOUSTON - October 19, 2016 - Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) announced today results for the third quarter of 2016 of $0.01 per diluted share.
“I am pleased with our third quarter results given the devastation our industry has faced over the last two years. These results reflect the hard work and determination of our organization. While the recent cycle has provided its fair share of challenges, we out-executed even against the very high expectations we place on our organization,” said Dave Lesar, Chairman and CEO.

“Total company revenue was flat at $3.8 billion, operating income was $128 million, and cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter was in excess of $1.0 billion. These results were driven primarily by increased utilization in North America, as well as effective global cost and working capital management.

“During the quarter, North America results improved as we took advantage of the rig count growth by increasing utilization, working our surface efficiency model and relentlessly managing costs. Our North America business delivered 9% sequential revenue growth, and operating results improved by $58 million, which represents 41% incremental margins. This is a step in the right direction as we work to regain profitability in North America.

“As we look forward, we expect an increased commodity price to stimulate rig count growth. In the near term, we remain cautious around fourth quarter customer activity due to holiday and seasonal weather-related downtimes. However, it does not change our view that things are getting better for us and our customers.

“The Eastern Hemisphere continued to experience activity and pricing headwinds throughout the quarter, which was offset by our focus on cost management. As a result, revenue declined by 5%, while operating income margins increased 3%. In the Middle East/Asia region, further activity declines in Asia Pacific were coupled with pricing headwinds across the region. In Europe/Africa/CIS, declining activity in Nigeria, Angola and Continental Europe was offset by further cost management in the region.
 
“Latin America revenue and operating income declined by 13% and 50% respectively, as a result of declining activity levels in Mexico, Argentina and Venezuela. Latin America results continue to suffer from the effects of restricted customer budgets, delayed projects, and rig counts at historical lows. However, we maintain a long-term positive outlook on the region and expect it to recover with improved commodity prices.



“For our international business, we believe the seasonal year-end sales will be minimal and customer pricing pressure will continue; however, these will likely be offset by continued cost management. As such, we expect fourth quarter results to come in flat compared to the third quarter.

“Globally, we will continue to expand our portfolio in unconventionals, mature fields and deepwater. We believe the underlying fundamentals driving our industry are strengthening, and I am optimistic about Halliburton’s relative performance as we move into the new year,” concluded Lesar.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $1.7 billion, a 9% increase sequentially, relative to a 14% increase in average U.S. rig count. Operating results improved by $58 million, or 47% sequentially, with a loss of $66 million. The improvement in North America operating results was driven primarily by increased utilization throughout the United States land sector, and effective cost management.

International

International revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $2.2 billion, a 6% decrease sequentially, driven primarily by a decline in drilling activity and well completions, as well as continued pricing pressure. International third quarter operating income was $241 million, a 2% decline compared to the second quarter. Margins remained relatively flat as decreased logging services and production solutions activity were partially offset by increased project management activity and continued expense reductions.

Latin America revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $415 million, a 13% decrease sequentially, with operating income of $11 million, a 50% decrease sequentially. These declines were largely a result of reduced activity in Mexico, Argentina and Venezuela.

Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $744 million, a 6% decrease sequentially, driven by reduced activity in Nigeria and Continental Europe. Operating income of $76 million increased 19% sequentially, primarily related to our cost savings initiatives and improved pressure pumping and pipeline services profitability throughout the region. These increases were partially offset by lower drilling activity in Nigeria.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $1.0 billion, a 3% decline sequentially, with operating income of $154 million, a 4% decrease. These declines were driven by reduced activity, particularly in Indonesia and Australia, and pricing pressure across the region.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production (C&P) revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $2.2 billion, an increase of $62 million, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2016, due to improved United States land stimulation activity, which drove the majority of the C&P revenue increase.


International revenue declined as a result of reduced pressure pumping services across most regions, reduced activity in the Gulf of Mexico and fewer completion tool sales in Nigeria.

C&P operating income in the third quarter was $24 million, which improved by $56 million from the second quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of increased pressure pumping activity in North America and increased pipeline and process services in Europe/Africa/CIS.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation (D&E) revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $64 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2016, while operating income declined 2% to $151 million. Revenue declines were seen across many product lines due to the low rig count, lower pricing, and customer budget constraints worldwide. Drilling activity in Mexico experienced the largest sequential decrease, which was partially offset by project management activity in Middle East/ Asia.


Selective Technology & Highlights

•
Sperry Drilling announced the release of GeoForce® Endure™ and StrataForce™ Endure™ motors, the latest additions to the drilling motor product line focused on increasing reliability in harsh drilling environments. Challenging drilling operations can cause elastomers to degrade and motors to fail, resulting in nonproductive time. The Endure motor technology is designed to overcome this with a proprietary metal helix that controls vibration and prevents overloading the stator elastomer.

•
Halliburton developed the Global Rapid Intervention Package™ (GRIP), a suite of services to help reduce costs and deployment time in the event of subsea well control events. GRIP provides well planning and well kill capabilities facilitated by the company’s global logistics infrastructure and existing product service lines. This includes both an inventory of well test packages, coiled tubing units and relief well ranging tools. In addition, GRIP features the new high temperature, 15,000 psi RapidCap™ Air-Mobile Capping Stack. RapidCap incorporates a specially designed gate valve-based system making it significantly lighter, less expensive and more mobile than options currently on the market.

•
Halliburton announced the release of the Acoustic Conformance Xaminer® (ACX) service, a technology to help operators identify and pinpoint costly wellbore leaks by analyzing sound waves that describe flow patterns in the formation and casing. The ACX service saves time by providing a continuous flow of data to the surface, allowing real-time identification of areas with possible leaks in the wellbore. The ACX service is effective in a variety of environments, including mature fields and unconventionals.

(a)
Management believes that operating income (loss) adjusted for impairments and other charges and Baker Hughes related costs and termination fee for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes operating income (loss) without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustments remove the effects of these items. Adjusted operating income is calculated as: “As reported operating income (loss)” plus "Total Impairments and other charges" and "Baker Hughes related costs and termination fee" for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

(a)
Management believes that income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for Baker Hughes related costs and termination fee, impairments and other charges, and debt mandatory redemption fee and expenses is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company's normal operating results. Management analyzes income (loss) from continuing operations without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustments remove the effects of these items. Adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to company is calculated as: “As reported loss from continuing operations attributable to company” plus "Total adjustments, net of tax" for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
(b)
Represents the tax effects of the aggregate adjustments during the period. Additionally, includes approximately $486 million of discrete tax adjustments recorded during the second quarter of 2016, primarily relating to deferred tax expenses associated with Halliburton's decision that it now may not permanently reinvest some of its foreign earnings, and tax expenses associated with the inability to utilize certain tax deductions resulting from the carryback of net operating losses to prior tax periods.
(c)
As reported loss from continuing operations per diluted share is calculated as: "As reported loss from continuing operations attributable to company" divided by "Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding." Adjusted loss from continuing operations per diluted share is calculated as: "Adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to company" divided by "Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding."
