HOUSTON - April 21, 2026 - Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today net income of $461 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2025 of $204 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, and adjusted net income2, excluding impairments and other charges, of $517 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Halliburton's total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $5.4 billion, flat when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Operating income was $679 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to operating income of $431 million in the first quarter of 2025, and adjusted operating income3, excluding impairments and other charges, of $787 million in the first quarter of 2025.
“I am pleased with Halliburton's performance this quarter,” commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.
“In North America, I see clear signs that we are in the early innings of a recovery.
“In international markets, our performance around the world outpaced disruptions from the Middle East conflict.
“I expect that our consistent focus on returns and capital discipline will drive long-term success for Halliburton and its shareholders,” concluded Miller.
Completion and Production revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.0 billion, a decrease of $104 million, or 3%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025, while operating income was $439 million, a decrease of $92 million, or 17%, when compared to first quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by lower stimulation activity in North America, and lower completion tool sales and decreased pressure pumping services in the Middle East. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher completion tool sales in the Western Hemisphere, and improved pressure pumping services in Africa.
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.4 billion, an increase of $89 million, or 4%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025, while operating income was $351 million, flat when compared to the first quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by higher project management activity in Latin America and increased drilling-related services in Europe and the Western Hemisphere. Partially offsetting these increases were lower activity across multiple product service lines in the Middle East, lower wireline activity in the Eastern Hemisphere, and decreased fluid services in the Gulf of America.
In the first quarter of 2026, the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East affected both divisions, with an impact of approximately 2 to 3 cents of net income per diluted share.
North America revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.1 billion, a 4% decrease when compared to the first quarter of 2025. This decline was primarily driven by lower stimulation activity and decreased artificial lift activity in US Land, and lower stimulation activity and decreased fluid services in the Gulf of America. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased drilling-related services in US Land and higher completion tool sales in the region.
International revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.3 billion, an increase of 3% when compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Latin America revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.1 billion, an increase of 22% year over year. This increase was primarily driven by higher activity across multiple product service lines in Ecuador, the Caribbean, and Brazil, and improved stimulation activity in Mexico and Argentina. Partially offsetting these increases were lower project management activity and decreased drilling-related services in Mexico.
Europe/Africa revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $858 million, an increase of 11% year over year. This increase was primarily driven by increased drilling-related services and higher completion tool sales in Norway, and improved pressure pumping services in Angola. Partially offsetting these increases were lower completion tool sales in the Caspian Area and decreased drilling-related services in Namibia.
Middle East/Asia revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.3 billion, a decrease of 13% year over year. This decrease was primarily driven by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia and decreased drilling-related services in Qatar. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher completion tool sales and improved fluid services in Asia.
