WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) The consolidated financial statements of Weatherford Enterra, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Weatherford Enterra") included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the
information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Certain reclassifications were made to previously reported amounts in the
consolidated financial statements and notes to make them consistent with the
current presentation format.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. No significant
accounting changes have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 1997.
(2) INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE. Income per common and common
equivalent share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents (if dilutive) outstanding
during the respective periods. Fully diluted earnings per share are equal to
primary earnings per share in all periods presented.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
128"), which establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share ("EPS"). SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and requires
restatement of all prior period EPS data. The adoption of SFAS 128 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
(3) INVENTORIES. Consolidated net inventories consist of the following (in
thousands):

ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
Certain of the statements which follow represent forward-looking
information. These forward-looking statements, including without limitation
statements with respect to the Company's future results of operations, financial
condition, capital resources and industry condition, are made pursuant to the
Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements may be significantly impacted by various
factors described herein and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31,
1996. These factors include, without limitation, market prices and worldwide
demand for oil and natural gas, oil and natural gas exploration and production
activity, and general economic and political conditions. There can be no
assurance that anticipated developments will occur.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Weatherford Enterra is a diversified international energy service and
manufacturing company that provides a variety of services and equipment to the
exploration, production and transmission sectors of the oil and gas industry.
The Company's principal industry segments are oilfield services, oilfield
products and gas compression, with operations in virtually every oil and gas
exploration and production region in the world. The Company's operating results
include several other businesses that the Company has either sold or announced
its intention to sell.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OILFIELD SERVICES. Oilfield services operations are located worldwide near
oil and gas producing regions and consist of oilfield equipment rental, certain
downhole services including fishing and milling services, and tubular running
services including the installation of casing and tubing and the maintenance of
drill pipe and tubing.
-7-
<PAGE>
During the first quarter of 1997, revenues increased 23% to $146.2 million
compared to the first quarter of 1996. U.S. service revenues increased 33% to
$70.7 million, while international revenues increased 14% to $75.4 million as a
result of improvement in virtually every region. The improvement in U.S.
services is attributable to a 20% increase in the average drilling rig count
compared to the first quarter of 1996, as well as price increases announced by
the Company in August 1996 which affect most U.S. services and rentals.
Internationally, Canada experienced a 17% increase in average drilling rig count
compared to the first quarter of 1996, while the average drilling rig count for
other international locations increased 3%. International service revenues also
benefitted from improved downhole service and rental activity in the North Sea,
the introduction of fishing and other downhole services into certain markets in
North and West Africa and Latin America during 1996, and new downhole services
contracts in the Middle East. Operating income for the first quarter of 1997
increased 58% to $32.3 million compared to the first quarter of 1996, primarily
as a result of the increased revenues, cost savings achieved from the higher
levels of activity and efficiencies resulting from consolidating the operations
of the Company and Enterra Corporation ("Enterra"), which was acquired in
October 1995. These increases were partially offset by additional costs incurred
to introduce fishing and other downhole services into the markets discussed
above.
OILFIELD PRODUCTS. The oilfield products segment includes the manufacture,
sale and service of cementation products, liner hangers, gas lift equipment and
equipment for resale and used internally to provide oilfield services. The
Company acquired the business and assets of Nodeco AS, a Norwegian liner hanger
manufacturer, and Aarbakke AS (collectively "Nodeco") in May 1996.
During the first quarter of 1997, revenues increased 52% to $41.0 million
compared to the first quarter of 1996, reflecting improved operating results
from all manufacturing businesses. Nodeco contributed $8.1 million, or 58%, of
the revenue increase. Cementation product sales improved significantly during
the first quarter of 1997 primarily reflecting increased market share and
increased drilling activity worldwide. Operating income for the first quarter of
1997 increased 142% to $7.1 million compared to the first quarter of 1996,
primarily as a result of the higher level of revenues combined with
manufacturing efficiencies achieved as a result of the higher volume of product
sales.
GAS COMPRESSION. The gas compression segment includes manufacturing,
packaging, renting, selling and providing parts and services for reciprocating
gas compressor units ranging in size from 26 to 7200 horsepower.
Revenues increased 33% to $44.8 million during the first quarter of 1997
as compared to 1996, reflecting higher sales volumes of packaged units and
expansion of the Company's rental fleet. Operating income improved 23% to $3.2
million compared to the first quarter of 1996 as a result of the increased
revenues, partially offset by lower margins achieved on certain packaged
compressor sales in Canada due to pricing pressure.
OTHER BUSINESSES. The Company has several non-core businesses that it has
either sold or announced its intention to sell. Such businesses include Barber
Industries Limited, Enterra Patco Oilfield Products, Inc., and Arrow Completion
Systems, Inc., each of which was sold in 1996; and CRC-Evans Pipeline
International, Inc. ("CRC- Evans"), the American Aero Cranes division and Total
Engineering Services Team, Inc. A definitive agreement for the sale of CRC-Evans
was entered into in December, and negotiations for the remaining two
transactions are ongoing. All three transactions are expected to close in the
second or third quarter of 1997.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 13.5% in the
first quarter of 1997 from 15.2% in the first quarter of 1996, primarily as a
result of cost efficiencies achieved in consolidating the operations of Enterra
into the Company.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs of $2.8 million
in the first quarter of 1997 increased 62% compared to the first quarter of
1996. The increases primarily reflected the expansion of the Company's
operations and development activities to support its three principal business
segments.
-8-
<PAGE>
EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES. The Company owns an
interest of 50% or less in several joint ventures, primarily in the oilfield
services segment. The Company's equity in the earnings of these affiliates was
$509,000 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $501,000 in the first quarter
of 1996. The Company received cash dividends from its 50% or less-owned
affiliates totaling approximately $245,000 and $392,000 in the first quarter of
1997 and 1996, respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY (GAIN) LOSS, NET. As a result of the fluctuation of the
U.S. dollar against the major foreign currencies in which the Company conducts
business, the Company recorded a net foreign currency loss of $393,000 in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to a net $19,000 gain in the first quarter of
1996.
OTHER EXPENSE, NET. Other expense, net, increased to $5.8 million in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 1996. The
increase was attributable to several factors, including estimated losses
recorded in 1997 related to the sales of non-core businesses, lower gains on
sales of assets and higher goodwill amortization as a result of the Nodeco
acquisition.
INTEREST. Net interest expense increased to $5.4 million in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 1996, primarily
as a result of higher average debt balances outstanding. The increased
indebtedness primarily related to the acquisition of Nodeco in May 1996.
INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income
taxes was 35% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 30% in the first quarter
of 1996. The lower effective rate in 1996 primarily resulted from the reversal
in 1996 of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets, primarily U.S.
net operating loss carryforwards and general business credit carryforwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's operations provided cash of $19.4 million during the first
three months of 1997 compared to using cash of $2.6 million during the first
three months of 1996, primarily as a result of improved operating activity. Net
income before depreciation and amortization of $50.3 million in the first three
months of 1997 increased $11.4 million when compared to the same period in 1996.
Changes in working capital and other operating accounts used cash of $28.9
million during the first three months of 1997 compared to $35.5 million in the
same period of 1996. Working capital increased to $315.7 million at March 31,
1997 compared to $294.1 million at December 31, 1996. Capital expenditures
decreased to $23.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared
to $28.8 million for the same period in 1996.
The Company's consolidated indebtedness decreased to $303.6 million at
March 31, 1997 from $315.8 million at December 31, 1996. The Company's ratio of
total debt to total capitalization was 26% at March 31, 1997 compared to 27% at
December 31, 1996.
The Company has $200 million of publicly-held 7 1/4% notes due May 15,
2006 (the "7 1/4% Notes"). Interest on the 7 1/4% Notes is payable semi-annually
on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Company also has bank credit facilities (the "Facilities") consisting
of a $200 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $200 million revolving
credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Term Loan is payable in
equal quarterly installments through September 20, 2001. The Revolving Credit
Facility matures on September 30, 2000. Amounts outstanding under the Facilities
accrue interest at a variable rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.625% above a
specified Eurodollar rate, depending on the Company's ratio of total debt to
total capitalization. The applicable interest rate on amounts outstanding at
March 31, 1997 was 5.9%. A commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.225% per
annum, depending on the Company's ratio of total debt to total capitalization,
is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The
Facilities agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios,
including a maximum debt-to-capitalization
-9-
<PAGE>
ratio of 40%, and limits the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, make
investments and dispose of assets. At March 31, 1997, the balance outstanding
under the Term Loan was $83.3 million, and the Company had $200 million
available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and $15.0 million
available for borrowing under working capital facilities of certain of its
domestic and international subsidiaries. The Company also has various credit
facilities available only for stand-by letters of credit and bid and performance
bonds, pursuant to which funds are available to the Company to secure
performance obligations and certain retrospective premium adjustments under
insurance policies. The Company had a total of $22.0 million of letters of
credit and bid and performance bonds outstanding at March 31, 1997.
The Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar, including the Canadian dollar, major European currencies and
certain Latin American currencies. Although most of the revenues of the
Company's foreign operations are denominated in the local currency, the effects
of foreign currency fluctuations are largely mitigated because local expenses of
such foreign operations also generally are denominated in the same currency.
The Company occasionally enters into forward exchange contracts only as a
hedge against certain existing economic exposures, and not for speculative or
trading purposes. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements
affecting existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies,
such exposure resulting primarily from trade receivables and payables and
intercompany loans. The future value of these contracts and the related currency
positions are subject to offsetting market risk resulting from foreign currency
exchange rate volatility. Settlement of forward exchange contracts resulted in
net cash inflows totaling $2.4 million and $0.4 million during the first three
months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Management believes the combination of working capital, the unused portion
of existing credit facilities and cash flows from operations provide the Company
with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage its routine
operations. The Company continues to seek opportunities to enhance its
competitiveness through strategic acquisitions. Management believes that any
borrowings made in connection with any such acquisitions will not have a
materially adverse impact on the Company's liquidity. Management believes that
it is premature to provide specific information with respect to any other such
possible acquisitions because of the status of, and possible adverse impact on,
negotiations, and because, in any event, there can be no assurance that any of
such possible acquisitions will be consummated.
Like most multinational oilfield service companies, the Company has
operations in certain international areas, including parts of the Middle East,
North and West Africa, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific Region and the
Commonwealth of Independent States (the "CIS"), that are inherently subject to
risks of war, political disruption, civil disturbance and policies that may
disrupt oil and gas exploration and production activities, restrict the movement
of funds, lead to U.S. government or international sanctions or limit access to
markets for periods of time. Historically, the economic impact of such
disruptions has been temporary and oil and gas exploration and production
activities have eventually resumed in relation to market forces. Certain areas,
including the CIS, Algeria, Nigeria, and parts of the Middle East and Latin
America, have been subjected to political disruption or social unrest in the
past twelve months. Generally, business interruptions resulting from civil or
political disruptions negatively impact near-term results of operations;
however, management believes that it is unlikely that any specific business
disruption caused by existing or foreseen civil or political instability will
have a materially adverse impact on the financial condition or liquidity of the
Company.
The Company has not declared dividends on Common Stock since December 1982
and management does not anticipate paying dividends on Common Stock at any time
in the foreseeable future.
