What they said
Weatherford International reported Q2 2026 revenue of $1.105 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $223 million (20.2% margin), and adjusted free cash flow of $139 million (62.3% conversion). Management emphasized strong margin and cash performance despite geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East, activity declines in Indonesia, pricing headwinds, and a union strike in Norway. Cash performance benefited from working capital improvements and collections from a large Pemex customer in Mexico. Management reiterated a structural multi-year demand thesis centered on energy security, but cautioned that conversion from intent to activity will be gradual. They highlighted regional trends and discussed opportunities in offshore, Venezuela, North America unconventionals (NCS acquisition), AI/data initiatives, and M&A discipline. Management spoke confidently about maintaining margin discipline, preferring higher-margin contracts and walking away from low-margin LSTK work, and targeting a 50% free cash flow conversion longer term. They also provided detail on working capital targets (25% or better), CapEx guidance (3%-5% of revenue), and an improved mid-to-high 40% free cash flow conversion outlook for the year. The Q&A reinforced themes of margin discipline, Middle East moderation but uncertainty, Pemex collections improving, and strategic initiatives (offshore, NCS, AI/data).
Guidance
- CapEx expected at 3%-5% of revenues (company target) - Company targets adjusted free cash flow conversion: mid-to-high 40% for current outlook, with a target to reach 50% free cash flow conversion longer term. - Management baked in $30M-$50M estimated Middle East impact for H1; they expect it to moderate and have included it in guidance for H2 (no explicit numeric H2 revenue guidance provided on the call). - No explicit revenue or EPS numeric guidance for 3Q/2027 beyond directional comments on margins ticking up in 3Q and improved free cash flow conversion expectations.
Risks flagged
- Ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East causing suspended activity, project deferrals, logistics disruptions, and elevated freight costs. - Activity declines in Indonesia and pricing headwinds in pockets. - Union strike in Norway affecting operations. - Uncertainty in timing of recovery; Middle East disruption may persist until a permanent resolution. - Collections and timing from large customers (e.g., Pemex) remain important and somewhat uncertain despite recent progress.
