Houston, July 21, 2026 – Weatherford International plc (NASDAQ: WFRD) (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) announced today its results for the second quarter of 2026.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were $1,105 million, a decrease of 4% sequentially and a decrease of 8% year-over-year. Operating income in the second quarter of 2026 was $107 million, a decrease of 13% sequentially and a decrease of 55% year-over-year. Net income in the second quarter of 2026 was $39 million, with a 3.5% margin, a decrease of 64%, or 585 basis points, sequentially, and a decrease of 71%, or 777 basis points, year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA* was $223 million, with a 20.2% margin*, a decrease of 4% or 4 basis points, sequentially, and a decrease of 12% or 92 basis points, year-over-year. Basic income per share in the second quarter of 2026 was $0.55, a decrease of 63% sequentially and a decrease of 70% year-over-year. Diluted income per share in the second quarter of 2026 was $0.55, a decrease of 63% sequentially and a decrease of 70% year-over-year.

Second quarter 2026 cash flows provided by operating activities were $175 million, an increase of 29% sequentially and an increase of 37% year-over-year. Adjusted free cash flow* was $139 million, an increase of 64% sequentially and an increase of 76% year-over-year. Capital expenditures were $42 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 22% sequentially and a decrease of 22% year-over-year.

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite the significant disruption in the Middle East due to the Iran conflict, our second-quarter results, especially adjusted free cash flow, were strong, demonstrating the reliability and resilience of our operating paradigm. I am proud of the One Weatherford team for coming together to deliver once again.

While the Middle East situation remains volatile and creates activity headwinds in the short term, our longer-term thesis remains intact. A return to the pre-conflict operating levels is expected to be gradual, contingent on continued regional stability, and requires an absence of further geopolitical escalation. Our second half 2026 outlook is appropriately adjusted to reflect these dynamics and while our total year outlook has slightly reduced, the second half represents a significant ramp up in margin contribution versus the first half.

We remain focused on the factors within our control, driving long-term shareholder value through disciplined execution, portfolio strengthening, and structural simplification. The adjusted free cash flow performance and improved outlook on conversion is a consequence of this focus. The acquisition of NCS Multistage strengthens our completions portfolio, expands our technology offering, and gives us at least $15 million of cost synergies upon closing and integration. In parallel, our updated proposal to redomesticate to Delaware reinforces our commitment and our shareholders’ confidence in the multi-faceted benefits of this initiative. When completed, we expect the redomestication and related corporate restructuring to generate $20 to $30 million of annual cash savings, further enhancing our cash flow profile.”

Technology Highlights

•Drilling & Evaluation (“DRE”)

◦In Saudi Arabia, Weatherford completed the first qualification deployment of ArrayProTM with Aramco, validating a fully integrated production logging solution for horizontal wells. The ruggedized system delivered high quality real time data and reliable performance in demanding environments, supporting improved reservoir insight and production optimization.

◦In France, Weatherford supported Lithium de France’s geothermal and lithium exploration at Schwabwiller in Alsace using a PressureProTM MPD Lite configuration with a Rotating Control Device and choke. The system maintained near balanced conditions and effectively managed influx behavior, enabling safe operations within a narrow operating window. This approach improved drilling efficiency and enabled the well to reach target depth, reinforcing Weatherford’s differentiated capability in European geothermal and lithium developments.

•Well Construction and Completions (“WCC”)

◦In Denmark, Weatherford delivered its first MARSTM operation in Europe within a geothermal application for Innargi A/S. Selected over conventional logging for its multipoint array sensing capability, the system provided clear visualization across injection zones. Over a five-day campaign, it delivered detailed real-time insights into reservoir behavior, enabling the identification of previously undetected anomalies and supporting improved reservoir understanding.

◦In the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), Weatherford was recognized as “Best Liner Hanger Supplier and Services Provider” by a National Oil Company, reflecting strong execution and partnership performance. The Liner Hanger Systems team completed over 100 liner deployments across more than 22,000 operational hours in the previous year, demonstrating consistent delivery that reduces operational variability and supports efficient well construction and schedule reliability.

•Production and Intervention (“PRI”)

◦In the UAE, Weatherford introduced the RotaflexTM 1160 long stroke pumping unit, delivered as a fully integrated solution to address highly challenging unconventional reservoirs. Designed for rigless operations, the system is engineered to maximize recovery and accelerate payback. By optimizing performance across the full production system, it enhances reliability, reduces operational complexity, and supports lower power consumption and emissions.

◦In the Permian Basin, Weatherford deployed its Hi-VOLTM hydraulic jet pump technology for key operators, replacing Electric Submersible Pump systems that had experienced premature failures in corrosive environments. This solution improves reliability, reduces intervention frequency and workover costs, and sustains production rates. Following the initial deployments at the end of 2025, the program expanded to 15 active units by the second quarter of 2026 with strong performance standards.

Shareholder Return

During the second quarter of 2026, Weatherford paid dividends of $20 million and repurchased shares for $16 million, resulting in a total shareholder return of $36 million. In the first half of the year, Weatherford paid dividends of $40 million and repurchased shares for approximately $26 million, resulting in a total shareholder return of $66 million.

On July 16, 2026, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.275 per share of the Company’s ordinary shares. The dividend is payable on September 3, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 6, 2026.

Other Events

The previous proposal to redomesticate to Texas received support in excess of 60% of votes cast at the Company’s June 2026 shareholder meetings, but did not receive the requisite 75% support needed to pass. Consequently, the Company introduced an updated plan to redomesticate to Delaware. This revised proposal reinforces Weatherford’s conviction in the value creation potential through simplified corporate structure, effective execution of merger and acquisition transactions, improved financial market access, and increased shareholder value. Subject to approval in 2026, the redomestication and related corporate restructuring is expected to generate annual cash savings of approximately $20 to $30 million beginning in 2027.

Weatherford International plc

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Defined (Unaudited)

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K) may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods and comparisons with peer companies. The non-GAAP amounts shown in the following tables should not be considered as substitutes for results reported in accordance with GAAP but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA* - Adjusted EBITDA* is a non-GAAP measure and represents consolidated income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and excludes, among other items, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, as well as other charges and credits. Management believes adjusted EBITDA* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA margin* - Adjusted EBITDA margin* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by dividing consolidated adjusted EBITDA* by consolidated revenues. Management believes adjusted EBITDA margin* is useful to assess and understand normalized operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA margin* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for consolidated net income margin and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow* - Adjusted Free Cash Flow* is a non-GAAP measure and represents cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes adjusted free cash flow* is useful to understand our performance at generating cash and demonstrates our discipline around the use of cash. Adjusted free cash flow* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for cash flows provided by operating activities and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net Debt* - Net Debt* is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated taking short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Management believes the net debt* is useful to assess the level of debt in excess of cash and cash and equivalents as we monitor our ability to repay and service our debt. Net debt* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for overall debt and total cash and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net Leverage* - Net Leverage* is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by taking net debt* divided by adjusted EBITDA* for the trailing 12 months. Management believes the net leverage* is useful to understand our ability to repay and service our debt. Net leverage* should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for the individual components of above defined net debt* divided by consolidated net income attributable to Weatherford and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
