NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (“Schlumberger”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.  The December 31, 2018 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2018 audited financial statements.  For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2019.   

2.   Charges and Credits

2019

In April 2019, Schlumberger completed a debt exchange offer, pursuant to which it issued $1.500 billion in principal of 3.90% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “New Notes”) in exchange for $401 million of 3.00% Senior Notes due 2020, $234 million of 3.63% Senior Notes due 2022 and $817 million of 4.00% Senior Notes due 2025.  In connection with the exchange of principal, Schlumberger paid a premium of $48 million, substantially all of which was in the form of New Notes.  This premium is being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the New Notes.

The estimated fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $17.4 billion and $14.6 billion, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, Schlumberger had separate committed credit facility agreements aggregating $6.5 billion with commercial banks, of which $3.3 billion was available and unused.   These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $1.0 billion matures in February 2020,  $1.5 billion matures in November 2020, $2.0 billion matures in February 2023 and $2.0 billion matures in February 2024.  Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by facility.

Borrowings under Schlumberger’s commercial paper programs at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $3.2 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, all of which were classified in Long-term Debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

9.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Schlumberger is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments.  Schlumberger does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio.  Schlumberger maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio, and occasionally interest rate swaps, to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates.  

During 2017, a Canadian-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $1.1 billion of US-dollar denominated debt.  Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $1.1 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion 2.20% Senior Notes due 2020 and its $0.6 billion 2.65% Senior Notes due 2022. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the US-dollar notes to Canadian-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.97% and 2.52%, respectively.

These cross-currency swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair values of the hedges are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified to earnings in the same periods that the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings.

At June 30, 2019, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating $13.5 billion and variable rate debt aggregating $3.6 billion, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a multinational company, Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar.  However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses are incurred in foreign currencies.  Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease).  

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency.  Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks.  These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.  Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.  

Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.  Instead, the fair value of the contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as are changes in fair value of the hedged item.

At June 30, 2019, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $4.4 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $1.1 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

At June 30, 2019, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative $13 million loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss relating to the revaluation of foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and changes in the fair value of interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges.

10.   Contingencies

Schlumberger is party to various legal proceedings from time to time.  A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote.  However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

Second-quarter revenue of $8.3 billion increased 5% sequentially with North America revenue of $2.8 billion increasing 2% while international revenue of $5.5 billion increased 8%.

 

International revenue growth of 8% sequentially, was led by the Europe/CIS/Africa area, where revenue increased sequentially by 11% driven by activity that strengthened beyond the seasonal recovery in the Russia & Central Asia and United Kingdom & Continental Europe GeoMarkets. Sequential international growth was also driven by a 19% improvement in the Far East Asia & Australia GeoMarket and a 12% increase in the Latin America area, while revenue in the Middle East region grew 3%.

 

North America revenue improved 2% sequentially, driven by a 10% sequential increase in offshore revenue from stronger exploration-led activity driven mainly by WesternGeco® multiclient seismic license sales. North America land revenue increased 1% sequentially despite the impact of the spring breakup in Canada, as OneStim® activity was higher offset by weak hydraulic fracturing pricing and a general decrease in drilling activity.

 

From a macro perspective, Schlumberger expects oil market sentiments to remain balanced. The oil demand forecast for 2019 has been reduced slightly on trade war fears and current global geopolitical tensions, but Schlumberger does not anticipate a change in the structural demand outlook for the mid-term. On the supply side, Schlumberger continues to see US shale oil as the only near- to medium-term source of global production growth, albeit at a slowing growth rate, as exploration & production (E&P) operators continue to transition from an emphasis on growth to a focus on cash and returns, with consequent restraining effects on investment levels. These effects, combined with the decision by OPEC and Russia to extend production cuts through the first quarter of 2020, are likely to keep oil prices range bound around present levels. Although the markets are well supplied from production added by projects that were sanctioned before 2015, this added supply will begin to fall in 2020 and create risk for the future as the decline rates in many mature production basins become an increasingly significant challenge. In addition, while the number of new projects Schlumberger expects to receive final investment decision approval in 2019 is likely to increase again for the fourth consecutive year, their size and number account for supply additions far below the required global annual production replacement rates. Schlumberger therefore maintains its view that international E&P investment will grow 7% to 8% in 2019, further supported by the increase in international rig count. In contrast, spending in North America land is tracking Schlumberger's expectations of a 10% decline this year.

Reservoir Characterization

Reservoir Characterization revenue of $1.6 billion increased 7% sequentially due to higher activity beyond the seasonal rebounds from winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Growth was driven by higher offshore exploration activity internationally benefiting Wireline and Testing Services. The increase in Reservoir Characterization revenue was also driven by higher WesternGeco multiclient seismic license sales in the Mexico Bay of Campeche and the US Gulf of Mexico.

 

Reservoir Characterization pretax operating margin of 20% was 81 basis points (bps) higher sequentially due to the seasonal recovery in higher-margin Wireline activity and stronger WesternGeco multiclient seismic license sales.

Drilling

Drilling revenue of $2.4 billion increased 1% sequentially. Stronger international activity beyond the seasonal rebounds in the Northern Hemisphere was supported by the international rig count increase of 6%, but growth was offset by reduced shale drilling activity in North America land as the US land rig count declined 5%. International growth was driven by higher activity benefiting M-I SWACO and Drilling & Measurements.

 

Drilling pretax operating margin of 12% declined 45 bps sequentially as margin improvements internationally for Drilling & Measurements and M-I SWACO were more than offset by lower margins from Integrated Drilling Services (IDS) projects in the Middle East region.

Production

Production revenue of $3.1 billion increased 6% sequentially driven primarily by higher international activity for Well Services. Increased artificial lift sales across the international areas, higher intelligent completions activity in Saudi Arabia, and increased Schlumberger Production Management (SPM) project activity mainly in Ecuador, all contributed to the increase in Production revenue. In North America land, despite the impact of the spring breakup in Canada, Production revenue was up 3% sequentially driven by higher cementing activity and improved OneStim hydraulic fracturing fleet utilization on increased market demand. These effects, however, were partially offset by softer hydraulic fracturing pricing.

 

Production pretax operating margin of 8% was essentially flat sequentially as the improvement in international margin from higher activity was offset by the effects of pricing pressure in North America land.

Cameron

Cameron revenue of $1.2 billion increased 5% sequentially driven by higher international revenue for OneSubsea, Surface Systems, and Drilling Systems. By geography, international revenue grew 24% sequentially while North America revenue was essentially flat.

 

Cameron pretax operating margin of 13% increased 94 bps sequentially primarily due to improved profitability in OneSubsea and Surface Systems.

Second-quarter 2019 revenue of $8.3 billion was essentially flat year-on-year as North America revenue declined 11% year-on-year, while international revenue increased by 8%. These results reflect the normalization in global E&P spend that Schlumberger anticipated as international investment increased in response to the accelerating decline in the mature production base, and North America land investment decreased due to E&P operator cash flow constraints.

Reservoir Characterization

Second-quarter 2019 revenue of $1.6 billion was essentially flat year-on-year. Higher Wireline, Testing, and Software Integrated Solutions revenue from increased international activity was offset by reduced OneSurface project revenue.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 153 bps to 20% primarily due to reduced profitability from OneSurface as projects wound down at the end of 2018.

Drilling

Second-quarter 2019 revenue of $2.4 billion increased 8% year-on-year primarily due to higher demand for drilling services, largely in the international markets that benefited M-I SWACO, IDS, and Drilling & Measurements.

 

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 53 bps to 12% despite higher revenue as margins were affected by competitive pricing, and start-up costs from a number of integrated contracts internationally.

Production

Second-quarter 2019 revenue of $3.1 billion decreased 5% year-on-year with most of the revenue decline attributable to lower OneStim activity in North America as customers reduced spending due to higher cost of capital, lower borrowing capacity and expectation of better returns from their shareholders.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 207 bps to 8% primarily due to reduced profitability in OneStim in North America.

Cameron

Second-quarter 2019 revenue of $1.2 billion decreased 4% year-on-year due to lower revenue for OneSubsea, Drilling Systems, and Valves & Measurement.

Six-month 2019 revenue of $16.1 billion was essentially flat year-on-year as international revenue increased 6% while North America land revenue declined 12%.  These results reflect the normalization in global E&P spend that Schlumberger anticipated as international investment increases in response to the accelerating decline in the mature production base, and North America land investment decreases due to E&P operator cash flow constraints.

Reservoir Characterization

Six-month 2019 revenue of $3.2 billion was essentially flat year-on-year, driven primarily by higher Wireline and Testing from increased international activity that was offset by reduced OneSurface project revenue and the absence of WesternGeco marine seismic acquisition revenue following the divestiture of this business during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 112 bps to 19% due to lower profitability from OneSurface as projects wound down at the end of 2018.

Drilling

Six-month 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion increased 10% year-on-year primarily due to higher demand for drilling services, largely in the international markets that benefited M-I SWACO, IDS, and Drilling & Measurements.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 71 bps to 13% despite higher revenue  as margins were affected by competitive pricing, and start-up costs from a number of integrated contracts internationally.

21


Production

Six-month 2019 revenue of $6.0 billion decreased 4% year-on-year with most of the revenue decline attributable to lower OneStim activity in North America as customers reduced spending due to higher cost of capital, lower borrowing capacity, and expectation of better returns from their shareholders. This decline was partially offset by higher production revenue internationally, which benefited all other technologies.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 100 bps to 8% primarily due to reduced profitability in OneStim in North America.

Cameron

Six-month 2019 revenue of $2.4 billion decreased 7% year-on-year primarily due to lower revenue for OneSubsea.

(1)

Net debt” represents gross debt less cash and short-term investments.  Management believes that Net debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger’s indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.  Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, total debt.

(2)

Includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, multiclient seismic data costs and SPM investments.

(3)

Includes severance payments of approximately $71 million and $160 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(4)

“Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, SPM investments and multiclient seismic data costs capitalized. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash.  Once business needs and obligations are met, this cash can be used to reinvest in the company for future growth or to return to shareholders through dividend payments or share repurchases.  Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.  Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations.

Key liquidity events during the first six months of 2019 and 2018 included:

 

On January 21, 2016, the Board approved a $10 billion share repurchase program for Schlumberger common stock.  Schlumberger had repurchased $922 million of Schlumberger common stock under this program as of June 30, 2019.

Capital expenditures were $0.8 billion during the first six months of 2019 compared to $1.0 billion during the first six months of 2018.  Capital expenditures for full-year 2019 are expected to be approximately $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion as compared to $2.2 billion in 2018.

 

During the first quarter of 2019, Schlumberger issued $750 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2024 and $850 million of 4.30% Senior Notes due 2029.

Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries.   As of June 30, 2019, four of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s net receivables balance, of which only the United States accounted for greater than 10% of such receivables.

As of June 30, 2019, Schlumberger had $2.3 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand.  Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.5 billion that support commercial paper programs, of which $3.3 billion was available and unused.  Schlumberger believes these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Borrowings under the commercial paper programs at June 30, 2019 were $3.2 billion.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This second-quarter 2019 Form 10-Q, as well as other statements we make, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts, such as our forecasts or expectations regarding business outlook; growth for Schlumberger as a whole and for each of its segments (and for specified products or geographic areas within each segment); oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and natural gas prices; improvements in operating procedures and technology, including our transformation program; capital expenditures by Schlumberger and the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of Schlumberger’s customers; our effective tax rate; Schlumberger’s SPM projects, joint ventures and alliances; future global economic conditions; and future results of operations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, global economic conditions; changes in exploration and production spending by Schlumberger’s customers and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; general economic, political and business conditions in key regions of the world; foreign currency risk; pricing pressure; weather and seasonal factors; operational modifications, delays or cancellations; production declines; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those related to offshore oil and gas exploration, radioactive sources, explosives, chemicals, hydraulic fracturing services and climate-related initiatives; the inability of technology to meet new challenges in exploration; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this second-quarter 2019 Form 10-Q and our most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of any such development changes), or should our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. Schlumberger disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Schlumberger, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” of the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Schlumberger’s exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2018.  

24


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Schlumberger has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of Schlumberger’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of Schlumberger’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Schlumberger files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Our mining operations are subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this report.    

Item 5. Other Information.

In 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”).

Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during the second quarter of 2019 consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger maintain depository accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”), and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran and in Kish for the deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received. One non-US subsidiary also maintained an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes. Schlumberger anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all amounts owed to Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran.
