Halliburton CEO says outlook ‘is strong’

"Halliburton’s performance in the first quarter again demonstrated the earnings power of our strategy, the strength of our competitive position globally and execution for our customers. Total company revenue increased 33% and operating income grew 91% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Both of our divisions delivered strong margin performance," commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO. "My Halliburton outlook — for both the current year and the long-term — is strong. We hear it from our customers, and we see it in our first quarter results. Our customers are clearly motivated to produce more oil and gas and service capacity is tight. Our strong execution culture, differentiated technology portfolio, and collaborative approach with customers – drive margin improvements and growth across our business. I am confident that we will execute our strategic priorities and deliver shareholder returns. I expect the execution of our strategy will deliver significant and growing free cash flow generation for Halliburton," concluded Miller.
