Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our accounting policies are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect:
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.

In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 20202021 and the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Part I. Item 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2. Impairments and Other Charges
    
The oil and gas industry has experienced unprecedented disruption during 2020 as a result of a combination of factors, including the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts. This disruption created a substantial surplus of oil and a decline in oil prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil spot prices decreased during the first quarter of 2020 from a high of $63 per barrel in early January of 2020 to approximately $21 per barrel by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Although oil prices have recovered modestly, WTI oil spot prices averaged approximately $41 per barrel during the third quarter of 2020, which is approximately 28% less than the average price per barrel during 2019. As a result, oil and gas activity has declined significantly during 2020, with the global rig count sinking to the lowest level since 1973. The U.S. average rig count continued to decline in the third quarter of 2020, dropping 35% compared to the second quarter of 2020, while the international rig count dropped 12% over the same period. In the first and second quarters of 2020, we determined these events constituted a triggering event that required us to review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and perform an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020 and May 1, 2020. Our review resulted in the recording of impairments and other charges in the first half of 2020. As a result of our goodwill impairment assessments, we determined that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its net book value and, therefore, 0 goodwill impairments were deemed necessary.

The factors described above continued to impact our business in the third quarter of 2020 and affected our overall outlook globally. As a result, we recognized additional severance and other charges during the three months ended September 30, 2020, to further adjust our cost structure to reflect current market conditions; however, we determined there were no events that would indicate the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The following table presents various pre-tax charges we recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, which are reflected within "Impairments and other charges" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Part I. Item 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

GivenIn the dynamic naturethird quarter of 2021, we decided to discontinue the proposed sale of our Pipeline and Process Services business and as a result recorded a $36 million charge for accumulated unrecognized depreciation and amortization expense during the period the associated assets were classified as held for sale. We have reclassified this business to assets held and used in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. Beginning October 1, 2021, all depreciation and amortization expense associated with this business will be included in operating costs and expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the third quarter of 2021, we finalized a previously communicated structured transaction relating to most of our owned U.S. real estate. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemictransaction, we derecognized $358 million of assets previously held for sale included in Other current assets and related market conditions, we cannot reasonably estimaterecognized an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary of $349 million included in Other Assets, which resulted in a gain of $74 million. We have elected to account for our investment under the period that these events will persist orfair value option using an income approach. We believe the full extentelection of the impact they will have onfair value option aligns the accounting treatment with our business. If market conditions continue to deteriorate, including crude oil prices further declining or remaining at low levels for a sustained period, we may record further asset impairments, which may include an impairmentinterest in the real estate held by the unconsolidated subsidiary. As part of the carrying valuetransaction, we completed the sale-leaseback of the same U.S. real estate which resulted in an increase of our goodwill.operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $276 million and we received gross cash proceeds of $87 million. Pursuant to a master lease agreement, the properties are subject to initial lease terms of either twelve or fifteen years and we have the option to extend the term on each property for two additional terms of five years each thereafter and the rent payments are subject to an annual rent escalator of 1.35%.

Note 3. Business Segment Information

We operate under 2 divisions, which form the basis for the 2 operating segments we report: the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment. Our equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting are included within cost of services and cost of sales on our statements of operations, which is part of operating income of the applicable segment.

The following table presents information on our business segments.

Note 4. Revenue

Revenue is recognized based on the transfer of control or our customers' ability to benefit from our services and products in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services and products. Most of our service and product contracts are short-term in nature. In recognizing revenue for our services and products, we determine the transaction price of purchase orders or contracts with our customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. We also assess our customers' ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including our customers' historical payment experience with, and the financial condition.condition of, our customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 20 to 60 days. Other judgments involved in recognizing revenue include an assessment of progress towards completion of performance obligations for certain long-term contracts, which involve estimating total costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and calculating the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our 2 reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold, 40% and 38% and 53% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and products in exchange for consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of receivables and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance consideration received from customers for contracts where revenue is recognized on future performance of service. Deferred revenue, as well as revenue recognized during the period relating to amounts included as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, waswere not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We have some long-term contracts related to software and integrated project management services such as lump sum turnkey contracts. For software contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time throughout the license period when the software is considered to be a right to access our intellectual property. For lump sum turnkey projects, we recognize revenue over time using an input method, which requires us to exercise judgment. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for these long-term contracts is not material.

Receivables
As of September 30, 2020, 26%2021, 27% of our net tradetotal receivables were from customers in the United States. As of December 31, 2019, 36%2020, 32% of our net tradetotal receivables were from customers in the United States. Receivables from our primary customer in Mexico accounted for approximately 10% of our total receivables as of September 30, 2021. While we have experienced payment delays in Mexico, these amounts are not in dispute and we have not historically had, and we do not expect, any material write-offs due to collectability of receivables from this customer. NaN other country or single customer accounted for more than 10% of our trade receivables at those dates. As a result of

Although the current market environment has been improving, we continue to have an increased risk of delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies. We routinely monitor the financial stability of our customers and employ an extensive process to evaluate the collectability of outstanding receivables. This process, which involves a high degree of judgment utilizing significant assumptions, includes analysis of our customers’ historical time to pay, financial condition and various financial metrics, debt structure, credit agency ratings, and production profile, as well as political and economic factors in countries of operations and other customer-specific factors.

In August of 2021, we redeemed the entire $500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 3.25% senior notes at par. The redemption price for the notes consisted of 100% of the principal amount of the notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes. We used cash on hand to fund the redemption of the debentures and notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $505 million of impairment charges related to inventory. These charges primarily consisted of the disposal of excess inventory, including drilling fluids and other chemicals, and write-downs in which some of our inventory cost exceeded its market value.

Note 6. Debt

On March 3, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.92% senior notes due March 2030. Subsequently, on March 5, 2020, we completed a tender offer to purchase $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes using proceeds from the debt issuance and cash on hand. The tender offer consisted of $500 million of 3.50% senior notes due August 2023 and $1.0 billion of 3.80% senior notes due November 2025. This early debt repurchase resulted in a $168 million loss on extinguishment, which included a tender premium, unamortized discounts and costs on the retired notes, and other tender fees. These costs were included in "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The $1.0 billion senior notes issued in March rank equally with our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, have semiannual interest payments, and have no sinking fund requirements. We may redeem some or all notes at any time at the applicable redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Note 7. Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a total income tax provision of $18 million on a pre-tax loss of $1.0 million, resulting in an unusually high negative effective tax rate for the quarter. Our effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by the geographic mix of our earnings in conjunction with the immaterial loss this quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a total income tax provision of $76 million on pre-tax income of $372 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.4%. Our effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was impacted by certain discrete tax benefits and the geographic mix of our earnings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a total income tax benefit of $265 million on a pre-tax loss of $3.0 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 8.9%. The effective tax rate for this period was primarily impacted by our first quarter of 2020 results, which included the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and OPEC+ disagreements which created an unprecedented disruption in the oil and gas industry. After evaluating the negative impact that these events were expected to have on our business outlook, we determined that it was more likely than not that certain foreign tax credits would not be realized. Accordingly, we recognized a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the amount of $310 million during the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, we recorded $3.4 billion of impairments and other charges and a $168 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in a $696 million tax benefit recognized during the period. Our effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also impacted by the geographic mix of our earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a total income tax provision of $190 million on pre-tax income of $715 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.6%. Our effective tax rate during this period was significantly impacted by the impairments and other charges recorded, as we did not recognize a corresponding financial statement tax benefit for the majority of these charges. Additionally, our effective tax rate was impacted by the geographic mix of our earnings.

See Note 2 for further information on these adverse market conditions and impairments and other charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. DuringThere were no repurchases made under the program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, under that program we repurchased approximately 7.4 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $100 million, all of which were purchased in the first quarter of 2020.2021. Approximately $5.1 billion remained authorized for repurchases as of September 30, 2020.2021. From the inception of this program in February of 2006 through September 30, 2020,2021, we repurchased approximately 224 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of approximately $9.0 billion.

In the month of July 2020, we issued common stock from treasury shares under our employee stock purchase plan awards and for restricted stock grants.

Note 9.8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company isWe are subject to various legal or governmental proceedings, claims or investigations, including personal injury, property damage, environmental, commercial, and tax-related matters, arising in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. There is inherent risk in any litigation, claim or investigation, and no assurance can be given as
to the outcome of these proceedings.

Guarantee arrangements
In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $1.9 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of September 30, 2020.2021. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization. None of these off balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 10.9. Income per Share

Basic income or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Antidilutive sharessecurities represent potential common sharespotentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be antidilutive.

Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview
Market conditions update and COVID-19 pandemic and market conditions update
The oil and gas industry experienced unprecedented disruption during 2020continued to be impacted from shutdowns as a result of a combination of factors, including the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically in Asia. In spite of COVID-19 interruptions from mobility restrictions and subsequent mitigation efforts. This disruption created a substantial surplus of oildaily precautions continuing to remain in place, business activity around the world has adjusted and declines in oil prices.continues to improve. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil spot prices decreased during the first quarter of 2020 from a high of $63 per barrel in early January of 2020 to approximately $21 per barrel by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Although prices have recovered modestly, WTI oil spot prices averagedto pre-pandemic levels, averaging approximately $41$71 per barrel during the third quarter of 2020, which is approximately 28% less than the average price per barrel during 2019. As a result, oil and gas activity has declined significantly during 2020, with the global rig count sinking to the lowest level since 1973. 2021. The U.S. land average rig count continuedcontinues to declinebe well below pre-pandemic levels, but it did rise 11% in the third quarter of 2020, dropping 35%2021 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The Brent crude oil price averaged over $73 per barrel during the third quarter of 2021 and the international average rig count increased 5% as compared to the second quarter of 2021. With the current shortage of other sources of energy, and the economic growth associated with what appears to be a global emergence from the pandemic, the demand for and price of oil has improved. We believe that global oil demand will continue increasing in the fourth quarter of 2021 and into 2022.

Financial results
The following graph illustrates our revenue and operating margins for each operating segment for the third quarter of 2020 and 2021.

hal-20210930_g3.jpg

During the third quarter of 2021, we generated total company revenue of $3.9 billion, a 30% increase as compared to the third quarter of 2020. We reported operating income of $446 million during the third quarter of 2021 that included $12 million of special items. This compares to operating income of $142 million during the third quarter of 2020 which was impacted by $133 million of severance and other charges. Our Completion and Production segment revenue increased 36% in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to increased pressure pumping services in North America land. Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue increased 23% in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020, driven primarily by improvements in drilling-related services activity in the Western Hemisphere. Operating margins in both of our operating segments improved in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 on higher commodity prices driving increased activity, higher utilization, and better operating leverage from our structural cost reductions implemented during 2020.

In North America, our revenue increased 64% in the third quarter of 2021, as compared to the third quarter of 2020, driven by increased pressure pumping services in North America land, as well as increased activity in most other product service lines. Both of our segments' revenue increased over 50% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020, while the internationalaverage North America rig count dropped 12% overmore than doubled for the same period. Although the North America rig count is increasing, it is still below pre-pandemic levels.

Revenue in our international markets increased 13% in the third quarter of 2021, as compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by improvements in most product service lines in Latin America, particularly Argentina, drilling-related services, project management activity, and pipeline services in Middle East/Asia, and cementing and well intervention in Europe/Africa/CIS, partially offset by lower completion tool sales in the Eastern Hemisphere.

As such, we are continuing to develop and deploy low-carbon solutions to help oil and gas industry has had a material adverse effect onoperators lower their current emissions profiles while also using our business, liquidity, financial condition, and resultsexisting technologies in renewable energy applications. In addition, Halliburton Labs, our energy transition accelerator, announced its inaugural group of operations. The financial results forparticipating companies in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020 reflect the reduced activity experienced in various locations around the world. The following graph illustrates our revenue2021 and operating margins for each operating segment for the third quarter of 2019 and 2020.

hal-20200930_g3.jpg

During the third quarter of 2020, we generated total company revenue of $3.0 billion, a 46% decrease as compared to the third quarter of 2019. We reported operating income of $142 million during the third quarter of 2020 which was impacted by the decrease in revenue and $133 million of severance and other charges. This compares to operating income of $536 million during the third quarter of 2019. Our Completion and Production segment revenue decreased 55% from the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to a global reduction in pressure pumping activity and well intervention services, coupled with lower artificial lift and completion tool sales in North America land. Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue decreased 31% from the third quarter of 2019, driven by global reductions in drilling-related services, wireline activity, testing services, and lower project management in Middle East/Asia. Even with decreased activity, our operating margins in both of our operating segments improvedannounced four additional participating companies in the third quarter of 2020 as compared2021, doubling the number of participating companies to the third quarter of 2019 as we implemented initiatives to lower our cost of service delivery and achieve other cost savings.eight.

In North America, our revenue decreased 67% in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to the third quarter of 2019, driven by reduced activity and pricing in North America land, primarily associated with stimulation activity, well construction, artificial lift, wireline, and completion tool sales, coupled with lower activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Canada. Although our third quarter of 2020 revenue declined compared to the second quarter of 2020, our Drilling and Evaluation division outperformed the sequential rig count declines, and our Completions and Production division's operating income grew and drove overall margin improvement. The average U.S. land rig count fell by approximately 36% since the second quarter of 2020 and 73% compared to the third quarter of 2019, but is recovering into October 2020 after the hurricane threats.

Revenue in our international markets decreased 23% in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by reduced activity across Argentina, Ecuador, and Colombia, as well as reduced wireline activity in Brazil, decreased activity across multiple service lines in the Middle East and Europe/Africa/CIS, and lower project management and drilling services in Asia, partially offset by increased drilling-related services in the North Sea. Both our Drilling and Evaluation and Completion and Production divisions are now earning the majority of their revenue in international markets. Despite declines in revenue, we outperformed the 12% sequential international rig count declines in the third quarter of 2020. Furthermore, stimulation activity, drilling-related services, well intervention services, pipeline services, and software sales demonstrated margin improvement in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview
Business outlook
Although the continued uncertainty around COVID-19 mitigation and re-opening efforts make demand for oil and gas difficult to project, we believe demand recovery is beginning to unfold. The average barrel per day of petroleum and liquid fuels consumed worldwide increased more than 10 million barrels per day from the second to the third quarter 2020. This increase in demand, taken together with under-investment in global oil production capacity, recent success of OPEC+ in imposing production limits on its members and expectations for effective COVID-19 treatments seem to be providing support for improved commodity prices. Nonetheless, the price of oil remains low compared to recent years and reduced demand for our products and services could continue as our customers adjust their operations in response to the prevailing prices and their business outlook. As operators in North America and the international markets look for ways to reduce spending, we will continue to work to improve efficiencies that help both our customers and our company optimize costs. We have taken significant steps to reduce our fixed costs through our service delivery improvement strategy, including reducing headcount, consolidating our facilities, removing layers of operations management in North America, streamlining our support functions, and reducing maintenance cost per horsepower-hour. We cannot predict the length of time that the market disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate its effects will continue, the ultimate impact on our business, or the pace or extent of any subsequent recovery. Nevertheless, we will maintain our commitment to safety and service quality for our customers and continue to focus on generating returns and cash flow.

In North America, we expect production to remain around current levels for the foreseeable future with slower growth going forward. With shrinking demand for shale oil and limited access to the capital markets, we continue to expect a more disciplined industry with stronger and fewer operators and service companies. North America land completions activity is expected to increase by a double-digit percentage in the fourth quarter as operators deplete their drilled but uncompleted well inventory, followed by a seasonal deceleration at the end of the year. However, we anticipate rig count activity will lag behind the increase in completions activity and may not increase materially before year-end. We anticipate a greater balance between horsepower supply and demand as the United States market achieves more stable production levels.

Internationally, we see the pace of activity declines slowing and believe we are getting close to the activity bottom. We see service companies being prudent with their capital spend which is resulting in limited excess equipment and should lead to a tighter market, even without an increase in new activity. We expect that as oil demand recovers, international producers will have the opportunity to regain market share as a result of the declining United States oil production, leading to healthy activity levels internationally. As demand starts to improve and outgrow supply, it should encourage international investments in both oil and gas.

During the first nine months of 2020, we had $510 million of capital expenditures, a decrease of 57% from the first nine months of 2019, as we adjusted to current market conditions. Our full year 2020 capital expenditures are expected to be less than $800 million, a decrease of approximately 48% from 2019. We believe this level of spend will still allow us to invest in our key strategic areas, while continuing to rationalize our business to current market conditions. We will continue to maintain capital discipline and monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics and adjust our capital expenditures accordingly.

Under the adverse market conditions we have faced in 2020, we have taken swift actions that we believe will not only temper the impact of activity declines on our financial performance, but also will further boost our earnings power and cash flow generation ability. We plan to continue executing the following strategies through the end of 2020:
collaborating with, and engineering solutions to maximize asset value for our customers;
directing capital and resources to projects around the world that we believe will provide the best opportunity to generate acceptable returns;
accelerating our adoption of digital technologies to grow our business, and to drive performance, operational efficiencies and cost reductions for our customers and internally;
deploying differentiated technology that helps our customers reduce reservoir uncertainty and improve well productivity;
striving to achieve superior returns and cash flow generation for our shareholders; and
committing to a sustainable energy future in which oil and gas continues to play a critical role.

Financial markets, liquidity, and capital resources
We believe we have invested our cash balances conservatively and secured sufficient financing to help mitigate any near-term negative impact on our operations from adverse market conditions. In March 2020, we retired $500 million in total debt and extended the maturity for $1.0 billion of senior notes out to 2030. We have focused on debt reduction over the last few years, reducing total debt by approximately $2.6 billion since 2016. We believe we have a very manageable debt maturity profile, with approximately $1.3 billion coming due through 2024. As of September 30, 2020, we had $2.1 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.5 billion of available committed bank credit under our revolving credit facility. We believe this provides us with sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market.

Significant sources and uses of cash during the first nine months of 20202021
Sources of cash:
Cash flows from operating activities were $1.2 billion. This included a positive impact from the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories, and accounts payable) of a net $476 million, primarily associated with lower customer receivables, offset by approximately $316 million of cash payments primarily for severance.$81 million.

Uses of cash:
In March 2020,February of 2021, we executed two transactions resulting in a reductionrepaid the $185 million principal balance of net debt byour 8.75% senior debentures at maturity.
In August of 2021, we redeemed the entire $500 million. We issued $1.0 billionmillion aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 3.25% senior notes and used the net proceeds from issuance along with cash on hand to repurchase $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. Inclusive of the tender premium and fees, these transactions resulted in a net payment of approximately $654 million.at par.
Capital expenditures were $510 million.$483 million, a decrease of 5% from the first nine months of 2020, as we adjusted to market conditions.
We paid $238$121 million in dividends to our shareholders.
We repurchased approximately 7.4 million shares of our common stock in early March, largely before the significant decline in oil prices, under our share repurchase program at a total cost of $100 million.

Future sources and uses of cash
We manufacture most of our own equipment, which allows us flexibility to increase or decrease our capital expenditures based on market conditions. CapitalWe expect capital spending for the full year 2020 is currently expected to2021 will be less than $800 million, a decreaseapproximately 5-6% of approximately 48% from 2019.revenue. We believe this level of spend will still allow us to invest in accordance with our key strategic areas,priorities, while continuing to rationalize our business to current market conditions. We willintend to continue to maintain capital discipline, and monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics, and adjust our capital spendspending accordingly.

Based on our market outlook, we reduced ourOur quarterly dividend rate in the second quarter of 2020 from $0.18 per common share tois $0.045 per common share, and remained at this amount during the third quarter of 2020, reducing cash outflows byor approximately $120 million per quarter.$40 million. We will continue to maintain our focus on liquidity and review our quarterly dividend considering our priorities of future debt reduction and, as market conditions evolve, reinvesting in our business.
Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. No repurchases occurred during the third quarter of 2021 under this program. Approximately $5.1 billion remained authorized for repurchases as of September 30, 20202021 and may be used for open market and other share purchases.

Other factors affecting liquidity
Financial position in current market. As of September 30, 2020,2021, we had $2.1$2.6 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.5 billion of available committed bank credit under our revolving credit facility. We believe we have a manageable debt maturity profile, with approximately $1.6 billion coming due through 2026. Furthermore, we have no financial covenants or material adverse change provisions in our bank agreements, and our debt maturities extend over a long period of time. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and our available credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market and our global cash needs, including capital expenditures, working capital investments, dividends, if any, and contingent liabilities.

Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $1.9 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of September 30, 2020.2021. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization, however, none of these triggering events have occurred.

Credit ratings. Our credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s (S&P) remain BBB+ for our long-term debt and A-2 for our short-term debt, with a negative outlook. Our credit ratings with Moody’s Investors Service (Moody's) remain Baa1 for our long-term debt and P-2 for our short-term debt, with a negativestable outlook.

Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to risk that our customers delayingmay delay or failingfail to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets, as well as unsettled political conditions. Given the nature and significance of the pandemic and disruption in the oil and gas industry, we have experienced delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

Part I. Item 2 | Business Environment and Results of Operations
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We operate in more than 8070 countries throughout the world to provide a comprehensive range of services and products to the energy industry. Our revenue is generated from the sale of services and products to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide. The industry we serve is highly competitive with many substantial competitors in each segment of our business. During the first nine months of 2020,2021, based upon the location of the services provided and products sold, 38%40% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States, compared to 53%38% of consolidated revenue from the United States in the first nine months of 2019.2020. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Operations in some countries may be adversely affected by unsettled political conditions, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, force majeure, war or other armed conflict, sanctions, expropriation or other governmental actions, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency exchange restrictions and highly inflationary currencies, as well as other geopolitical factors. We believe the geographic diversification of our business activities reduces the risk that an interruption of operations in any one country, other than the United States, would be materially adverse to our consolidated results of operations.

Activity within our business segments is significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development, and production programs by our customers. Also impacting our activity is the status of the global economy, which impacts oil and natural gas consumption. The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate its effect have had a substantial negative impact on the global economy and demand for oil. As discussed earlier, although there are signs of improvement in many areas around the world, the potential for new lockdowns and other mitigation efforts to deal with an increase in infection rates in certain areas remains a key risk for oil demand.

Some of the more significant determinants of current and future spending levels of our customers are oil and natural gas prices and our customers' expectations about future prices, global oil supply and demand, completions intensity, the world economy, the availability of credit,capital, government regulation, and global stability, which together drive worldwide drilling and completions activity. Additionally, many of our customers in North America have shifted their strategy from production growth to operating within cash flow and generating returns. Lower oil and natural gas prices usually translate into lower exploration and production budgets and lower rig count, while the opposite is usually true for higher oil and natural gas prices. Our financial performance is therefore significantly affected by oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.

Traditionally, the North America market recovers from downturns in the industry quicker than the international markets. We have started to see this play out as rig counts have recovered faster in 2021 in North America than internationally. We would expect to continue to see this dynamic in 2022.

The table below shows the average oil and natural gas prices for WTI, United Kingdom Brent crude oil, and Henry Hub natural gas. Commodity prices dramatically decreased during the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 due to the dual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and over-supply of oil from the inability of OPEC+ to agree on production cuts in the first quarter of 2020. Although prices have increased substantially since the end of the first quarter of 2020, they have not returned to 2019 levels or the levels at the beginning of 2020.

The oil and gas industry has experienced unprecedented disruption during 2020 as a result of a combination of factors, including the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts. This disruption created a substantial surplus of oil and declines in oil prices. WTI oil spot prices decreased during the first quarter of 2020 from a high of $63 per barrel in early January of 2020 to approximately $21 per barrel by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Although prices have recovered modestly, WTI oil spot prices averaged approximately $41 per barrel during the third quarter of 2020, which is approximately 28% less than the average price per barrel during 2019. As a result, oil and gas activity has declined significantly during 2020, with the global rig count sinking to the lowest level since 1973. The U.S. average rig count continued to decline in the third quarter of 2020, dropping 35% compared to the second quarter of 2020, while the international rig count dropped 12% over the same period.

Business outlook
In the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) October 20202021 "Short Term Energy Outlook," the EIA projects average WTI prices to be $41average $78 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2020,2021, and increase to $45$68 per barrel in 2021.for the full year 2021 and 2022. The EIA's report projects Brent oil prices are projected to average $42$81 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2020 and rise to $472021, with a full year 2021 average of $71 per barrel, in 2021.

The IEA's forecastedEIA's full year projection for 2022 is that Brent oil demand for the calendar year 2020, is unchanged at 91.7 million barrelsprices will average $72 per day, down 8.4 million barrels per day, or 8% from 2019. The IEA's forecasted oil demand for 2021 is 97.2 million barrels per day, a gain of 5.5 million barrels per day compared to 2020.barrel.

The Henry Hub natural gas spot price averaged $4.36 per MMBtu in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $2.00 per MMBtu in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $2.38an increase of $2.36 per MMBtu in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $0.38 per MMBtu, or 16%.MMBtu. The EIA October 20202021 “Short Term Energy Outlook” projects Henry Hub natural gas prices to average $2.68$4.17 per MMBtu for the full year 2021, and $4.01 per MMBtu in 2022.

The International Energy Agency's (IEA) October 2021 "Oil Market Report" forecasts global oil demand to reach 96.1 million barrels per day in 2021, an increase of 5.2 million barrels per day from 2020 and to rise by an additional 3.2 million barrels in 2022. The EIA projects crude oil production in the United States will average 11.0 million barrels per day in 2021, approximately a 3% decrease from 2020, and to average 11.7 million barrels per day in 2022, a 6% increase from 2021, as tight oil production rises in the United States. The EIA anticipates that production will grow in 2022 as a result of operators increasing rig counts, which are expected to more than offset production decline rates.

In spite of COVID-19 interruptions from mobility restrictions and daily precautions continuing to remain in place, business activity around the world has adjusted and continues to improve. We expect the balancing of global supply and demand to continue to tighten, resulting in a strong commodity price environment. In the international markets, activity increases continued in the third quarter of 2021 and we believe activity will accelerate into year-end. In North America, the bifurcation between publicly traded and private exploration and production (E&Ps) company activity continued in the third quarter of 2021. Publicly traded E&Ps generally remain committed to their spending plans for 2021, while private E&Ps, which operate about 60% of the U.S. land rig count, are generally increasing activity in an effort to continue to take advantage of a stronger commodity price environment. Drilled but uncompleted well counts (DUCs) in North America reached the lowest level since 2013, as operators depleted the surplus of DUCs accumulated in 2020. Next year we expect North America E&Ps to drill and complete more new wells to offset steep base decline rates and deliver production into the market. In North America, we expect moderate pricing and activity improvements in drilling and completions to drive further growth in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $3.13 per MMBtu in 2021. The EIA expects that monthly average spot prices will remain higher than $3.00 MMBtu throughout 2021, up from a forecast average of $2.07 MMbtu in 2020.

In 2022, we expect international activity momentum to accelerate and international pricing to move higher in certain geographies as a result of higher activity. While large tenders remain competitive, we are already seeing modest price increases on discrete work in underserved markets. In North America, operations
The average U.S. land rig countwe expect E&P spending to increase, including net pricing gains for not only our low-emissions equipment but also the third quarterrest of 2020 was down 73%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The pandemicour fracturing fleet and disruption in the oilfor our drilling, cementing, drill bits, and gas industry has particularly affected the North America market but the U.S. rig count is showing improvement in October. The EIA expects United States crude oil production to generally decline because new drilling activity will not generate enough production to offset declines from existing wells. However, we believe that our strategic priority for a leaner and more profitable North America business will enable us to successfully navigate through this market contraction. We will continue to focus on profit, not market share, in this more consolidated market.

International operations
The average international rig count for the third quarter of 2020 was down 36% compared to the third quarter of 2019, although there is evidence that activity declines are slowing. We intend to continue to invest in the development of new technologies and strategically fund international growth as the anticipated industry recovery unfolds. Uncertainty is at heightened levels because mitigation and reopening efforts related to COVID-19 continue to evolve. Reduced economic activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in energy demand and supply patterns in 2020 and will continue to affect theseartificial lift businesses.

patterns in the future as recent increases in cases of COVID-19 in some countries have led to some renewed government imposed restrictions, which could also be contributing to some downward pressure on crude oil prices. The EIA expects global oil inventory draws to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2020 before markets become more balanced in 2021. Despite expected inventory draws in the coming months, the EIA expects high inventory levels and surplus crude oil production capacity will limit upward pressure on oil prices for the rest of 2020 and continuing into 2021.

Venezuela. The general license issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of Treasury, which allowed us to continue operating in Venezuela despite OFAC sanctions imposed against the Venezuelan energy industry, was set to expire in July 2019 and had been extended several times. In April 2020, OFAC issued an updated general license. Effective April 21, 2020, the license prohibits us from performing most of our operations in the country. In particular, we are prohibited from performing activities associated with: (a) the drilling, lifting, or processing of, purchase or sale of, or transport or shipping of any Venezuelan-origin petroleum or petroleum products; and (b) the design, construction, installation, repair, or improvement of any wells or other facilities or infrastructure in Venezuela or the purchasing or provision of any goods or services, except as required for safety. Through December 1, 2020, we are only permitted to perform certain transactions and activities necessary for (i) safety or the preservation of assets in Venezuela or (ii) the winding down of operations, contracts or other agreements in Venezuela, along with other administrative activities. Consequently, we have ceased our primary operations in Venezuela in order to comply with the sanctions. It is unlikely that we will be able to remove our assets that remain in Venezuela and those assets may be expropriated. Since we have previously written down all of our investment in Venezuela and have maintained limited operations in this country during the general license period, we do not expect the expiration of the license to have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

Consolidated revenue was $3.0$3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease2021, an increase of $2.6 billion,$885 million, or 46%30%, as compared to the third quarter of 2019.2020. Consolidated operating income was $446 million during the third quarter of 2021, a $304 million increase from operating income of $142 million during the third quarter of 2020, a 74% decrease from2020. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher activity and pricing for pressure pumping services and increases across multiple other product service lines in North America land and Latin America, as well as additional artificial lift activity in North America land. The Middle East/Asia region grew drilling-related services and project management activity, the Europe/Africa/CIS region improved cementing activity, wireline activity, testing services, and well intervention, while pipeline services increased in China and Russia. Partially offsetting these increases were lower completion tool sales in the Eastern Hemisphere, less stimulation activity in the Middle East/Asia, and decreased completion tool sales and stimulation activity in Canada. The increase in operating income was due in part to the negative impact on third quarter 2020 operating income from $133 million of $536 million duringimpairments and other charges that were included in the results of that quarter, while the third quarter of 2019.

Consolidated revenue was $11.0 billion in the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of $190 million, or 2%, as compared to the first nine months of 2020. We reported operating income of $1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2021 compared to an operating loss of $2.3 billion during the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower activity associated with completion tool sales globally, except in Latin America, drilling-related services, project management activity, wireline activity, and testing services in the Eastern Hemisphere, and pressure pumping services in Middle East/Asia. Partially offsetting the decreases were increases in stimulation and artificial lift activity in the Western Hemisphere, improved activity across multiple product service lines in Latin America, and higher pipeline services in Asia and the United Kingdom. Operating results in the first nine months of 2020 included $3.4 billion of impairments and other charges while the first nine months of 2021 benefited from higher commodity pricing driving increased activity, higher utilization, and operating leverage from 2020 structural cost reductions. Revenue from North America was 42% of consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2021, compared to 40% of consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2020.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in the first nine months of 2021 was $6.1 billion, an increase of $25 million compared to the first nine months of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by a rise in stimulation and artificial lift activity in the Western Hemisphere, higher pipeline services in China and the United Kingdom, and well intervention services in Latin America. Partially offsetting these increases were decreased pressure pumping services in Middle East/Asia and lower completion tool sales globally. Operating income in the first nine months of 2021 was $891 million, an increase of $178 million, or 25%, compared to the first nine months of 2020, mainly driven by higher utilization for pressure pumping in North America land and Latin America, increased well intervention services in Latin America and Middle East/Asia, and improved artificial lift activity in North America land. Partially offsetting these increases to operating income were lower completion tool sales in the Eastern Hemisphere, the Gulf of Mexico, and Canada.

Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first nine months of 2021 was $5.0 billion, a decrease of $215 million, or 4%, compared to the first nine months of 2020, primarily related to reduced drilling-related services in the Eastern Hemisphere, wireline activity in the Eastern Hemisphere and North America land, and decreased project management activity in Iraq, India, and Europe/Africa/CIS. Also, testing services were reduced in Saudi Arabia and software sales declined globally. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased fluid services in North America land and Latin America, improved drilling services in Canada and Brazil, and increased wireline activity in Argentina. Operating income in the first nine months of 2021 was $532 million, an increase of $80 million, or 18%, compared to the first nine months of 2020 based in part on improved margins related to project management activity in India and Saudi Arabia, as well as higher drilling-related services in the Western Hemisphere and wireline activity in Latin America. Offsetting these operating income improvements was a global reduction of software sales.

Other Operating Items

Impairments and other charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we recognized $12 million of special items. This includes $36 million of depreciation catch-up expense related to assets previously classified as held for sale related to our Pipeline and Process Services business, $15 million of severance costs, and $35 million of other items, partially offset by a $74 million gain related to the closing of the structured transaction for our North America real estate assets. This compares to $3.4 billion of impairments and other charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to further adjust our cost structure to current market conditions. These charges consisted primarily of asset impairments, mostly associated with pressure pumping equipment and real estate facilities, as well as inventory write-offs, severance costs, and other costs. This compares to $308 million of charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily related to asset impairments and severance costs.charges.

Part II. Item 1(a) | Risk Factors
Item 1(a). Risk Factors

The statements in this section describe the known material risks to our business and should be considered carefully. The risk factor below updates ourAs of September 30, 2021, there have been no material changes in risk factors previously discusseddisclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have had a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition, which effect could worsen.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in the oil and gas industry. These events have directly affected our business and have exacerbated the potential negative impact from many of the risks described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those relating to our customers’ capital spending and trends in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, we are facing logistical challenges including border closures, travel restrictions, and an inability to commute to certain facilities and job sites, as we provide services and products to our customers. We are also experiencing inefficiencies surrounding stay-at-home orders andremote work arrangements. These logistical challenges and inefficiencies could worsen if the pandemic worsens or persists.

In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in the first quarter of 2020 OPEC+ was initially unable to reach an agreement to continue to impose limits on the production of crude oil. Oil demand has significantly deteriorated as a result of the virus and corresponding preventative measures taken around the world to mitigate the spread of the virus. The convergence of these events created the unprecedented dual impact of a global oil demand decline coupled with the risk of a substantial increase in supply. While OPEC+ agreed in April to cut production, there is no assurance that the agreement will continue or be observed by its parties, and downward pressure on commodity prices could continue for the foreseeable future.

Given the nature and significance of the events described above, we are not able to enumerate all potential risks to our business; however, we believe that in addition to the impacts described above, other current and potential impacts of these recent events include, but are not limited to:
disruption to our supply chain for raw materials essential to our business, including restrictions on importing and exporting products;
notices from customers, suppliers, and other third parties arguing that their non-performance under our contracts with them is permitted as a result of force majeure or other reasons;
liquidity challenges, including impacts related to delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies;
a credit rating downgrade of our corporate debt and potentially higher borrowing costs in the future;
a need to preserve liquidity, which could result in a further reduction or suspension of our quarterly dividend or a delay or change in our capital investment plan;
cybersecurity issues, as digital technologies may become more vulnerable and experience a higher rate of cyberattacks in the current environment of remote connectivity;
litigation risk and possible loss contingencies related to COVID-19 and its impact, including with respect to commercial contracts, employee matters and insurance arrangements;
a further reduction of our global workforce to adjust to market conditions, including severance payments, retention issues, and an inability to hire employees when market conditions improve;
additional costs associated with rationalization of our portfolio of real estate facilities, including possible exit of leases and facility closures to align with expected activity and workforce capacity;
additional asset impairments, including an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill, along with other accounting charges;
infections and quarantining of our employees and the personnel of our customers, suppliers, and other third parties in areas in which we operate;
changes in the regulation of the production of hydrocarbons, such as the imposition of limitations on the production of oil and gas by states or other jurisdictions, that may result in additional limits on demand for our products and services;
actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain COVID-19 or treat its effects; and
a structural shift in the global economy and its demand for oil and natural gas as a result of changes in the way people work, travel and interact, or in connection with a global recession or depression.

Part II. Item 1(a) | Risk Factors

Given the dynamic nature of these events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions will persist or their severity, the full extent of the impact they will have on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or the pace or extent of any subsequent recovery.

The events described above have had a significant adverse impact on the oil and gas industry and a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition, all of which could worsen.
