Halliburton Posts Loss on North America Weakness
By Tess Stynes
Halliburton Co. swung to a third-quarter loss on asset-write-downs and acquisition-related expenses, as its business in North America continued to be hit hard by slumping demand.
Halliburton, the second largest oil-field-services company behind Schlumberger Ltd. and a bellwether for the industry, is in the process of acquiring smaller rival Baker Hughes Inc. in a $35 billion deal.
For the third quarter, Halliburton reported that revenue in its North America business skidded 47% to $2.49 billion amid continued activity declines and pricing pressure.
Overall, Halliburton reported a loss of $54 million, or six cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $1.2 billion, or $1.41 a share. Excluding items such as asset write-downs and costs related to the Baker Hughes deal, per-share earnings from continuing operations were 31 cents. Revenue slumped 36% to $5.58 billion.
