Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In a quarter defined by continued industry headwinds, I am proud of the One Weatherford team for delivering across the board. Our swift and decisive actions in the first half of the year provided momentum to make noticeable improvements in the third quarter with a ramp up of margins and commercial wins. The financial performance, which exceeded our guidance range, was a direct result of the rigor and effectiveness of our operating paradigm.

With the expansion of our credit facility, the refinancing of a portion of our debt at significantly improved terms, and recent rating upgrades from the agencies, we have further strengthened our financial foundation.

At our FWRD 2025 conference, we showcased tangible proof points of our innovation as a catalyst for long-term value creation. The event highlighted more than 20 product launches across all segments and I am particularly excited about Intelligent Completions and the introduction of Weatherford Intelligence, a single, powerful platform that drives efficiency, automation, and smarter decision-making.

We remain on track to meet our full year 2025 guidance, with Latin America collections representing a timing factor in adjusted free cash flow projections. While activity in the first half of 2026 is expected to remain muted, we continue to be positive on the mid-to-long term activity outlook for the market and are well positioned to deliver strong performance for the next few years.”

The operation reduced operating time, improved efficiency, and delivered a comprehensive solution aligned with operator expectations.
  • In Bahrain, Weatherford drilled the region’s longest extended-reach well for an NOC, achieving more than 12,000 feet in a single run. The milestone also marks the longest run using the Magnus^TM 675 tool size outside the U.S., with just two longer laterals completed domestically in 2020.
• Well Construction and Completions (“WCC”)
  • In Brazil, Weatherford completed seven installations of its RFID OptiROSS^TM remotely operated sliding sleeve for Petrobras, enabling secondary injection points in three-zone open hole completions. The RFID-driven solution reduced rig time, minimized personnel exposure, improved well integrity, and optimized acid stimulation logistics, delivering stronger returns over the life of the well.
  • In Kuwait, Weatherford completed the first deployment of its Pressure Isolation Tool for KOC, marking the inaugural use of this technology in Kuwait and the Middle East. The operation delivered significant cost savings by leveraging existing liner hanger inventory, reduced operational risks, and ensured reliable performance in challenging downhole conditions.
• Production and Intervention (“PRI”)
  • In Thailand, Weatherford completed two runs of its Advanced Formation Testing and Sampling Service, showcasing significant operational advancements and reliability for PTTEP. Equipped with new fluid density and viscosity sensors, the service enabled precise characterization of reservoir fluids, improved sampling efficiency, and delivered meaningful cost savings for customers.

_{*Non-GAAP – refer to the section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures Defined and GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciled}

1. Segment adjusted EBITDA is our primary measure of segment profitability under U.S. GAAP ASC 280 “Segment Reporting” and represents segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, restructuring charges and other adjustments. Research and development expenses are included in segment adjusted EBITDA.
2. All Other includes results from non-core business activities (including integrated services and projects), and Corporate includes overhead support and centrally managed or shared facilities costs. All Other and Corporate do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting.
3. Included the maximum potentially dilutive shares contingently issuable for an acquisition consideration during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the value of which was adjusted out of Net Income Attributable to Weatherford in calculating diluted income per share.

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K) may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods and comparisons with peer companies. The non-GAAP amounts shown in the following tables should not be considered as substitutes for results reported in accordance with GAAP but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA* – Adjusted EBITDA* is a non-GAAP measure and represents consolidated income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and excludes, among other items, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, as well as other charges and credits. Management believes adjusted EBITDA* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA margin* – Adjusted EBITDA margin* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by dividing consolidated adjusted EBITDA* by consolidated revenues. Management believes adjusted EBITDA margin* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA margin* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income margin and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow* – Adjusted Free Cash Flow* is a non-GAAP measure and represents cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes adjusted free cash flow* is useful to understand our performance at generating cash and demonstrates our discipline around the use of cash. Adjusted free cash flow* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for cash flows provided by operating activities and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net Debt* – Net Debt* is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated taking short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Management believes the net debt* is useful to assess the level of debt in excess of cash and cash and equivalents as we monitor our ability to repay and service our debt. Net debt* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for overall debt and total cash and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP.​

Net Leverage* – Net Leverage* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by dividing by taking net debt* divided by adjusted EBITDA* for the trailing 12 months. Management believes the net leverage* is useful to understand our ability to repay and service our debt. Net leverage* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for the individual components of above defined net debt* divided by consolidated net income attributable to Weatherford and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

_{*Non-GAAP – as defined above and reconciled to the GAAP measures in the section titled GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciled}

1. Other Charges, Net in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 primarily includes fees to third-party financial institutions related to collections of certain receivables from our largest customer in Mexico and other miscellaneous charges and credits.
