        --  Adjusted EBITDA ([1][2]) of $98 million declined 6% sequentially and
            37% versus the combined fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting
            year-on-year decrementals of 14% ([4]). Excluding the one-time gain

            versus the combined fourth quarter of 2019
    --  Full-year 2020
        --  Adjusted EBITDA ([1][2]) of $459 million decreased 22% versus the
            combined full-year 2019, reflecting year-on-year decrementals of 9%
            ([4]); associated margins improved by 112 basis points year-on-year
            to 12%
        --  Free cash flow ([1]) of $78 million improved $950 million from the
            combined full-year 2019

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The past year was extremely challenging for our industry, and I'm pleased with the Company's performance in a tough environment. Our focus on leveraging our portfolio, expanding margins and enhancing liquidity continued to build through the fourth quarter, resulting in strong operational performance. Fourth-quarter 2020 revenues increased by 4% sequentially, comprised of growth of 15% in North America and 2% internationally. We achieved another quarter of double-digit adjusted EBITDA margins, and full-year 2020 adjusted EBITDA decrementals were limited to 9% year-on-year. Our results are a testament to our employees' commitment to performance and I am extremely grateful for their resilience, creativity and dedication to our customers and the Company.

"I have outlined our multi-year objective of delivering sustainable profitability and free cash flow, and in 2020 we built a strong foundation to enable the achievement of this goal. We leveraged our broad product and service portfolio, driving full-year revenue growth in strategic international markets, including a number of countries in the Middle East, despite significant reductions in activity and customer spending. We acted decisively, implementing actions that exceeded our annualized cost savings targets of over $800 million. We generated $78 million of positive free cash flow in 2020, an improvement of $950 million year-on-year, through improved operating performance, disciplined capital allocation and expenditures, and reduced working capital. In conjunction with the refinancing transactions, these actions strengthened the Company's liquidity position, with Weatherford ending the year with $1.3 billion of total cash, which provides flexibility to operate through this environment.

"While commodity prices and industry activity have generally improved from earlier this year and we are optimistic that the market is in the early stages of a broader recovery, particularly as we look ahead to the second half of 2021, there is continued uncertainty around the timing and magnitude of a recovery, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on economic activity.

"To continue our journey towards achieving sustainable profitability and positive free cash flow, we have built our 2021 cost plan assuming activity levels remain flat versus 2020 exit levels. We have also identified several focus areas to continue driving improvements. To further our margin expansion, we will continue to improve our profitability in North America, simplify our organization, and we are implementing initiatives to improve the variable cost profile of our operations. To drive our cash flow performance, we will capitalize on our margin improvements, remain disciplined when evaluating and allocating capital expenditures, and we will implement new processes to catalyze further working capital efficiencies. The achievement of these focus areas is not predicated on a recovery in market activity and we look forward to sharing updates on our progress throughout the year."

Note: Upon completing its financial restructuring in late 2019, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting resulting in Weatherford becoming a new entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As required by GAAP, results up to and including December 13, 2019 are presented separately as the predecessor period (the "Predecessor" period) and results from December 14, 2019 and onwards are presented as the successor period (the "Successor" period). The results from these Predecessor and Successor periods are not comparable. Nevertheless, for discussion purposes herein, the Company combined the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods as we believe the 18 days of the Successor period in 2019 is not a significant period of time impacting the 2019 combined results and that this provides the most meaningful basis to analyze our results.

Notes:

([1] )Adjusted EBITDA excludes, among other items, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill as well as write-offs of property plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and inventory. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Unlevered free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow plus cash paid for interest. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

([2]) In the first quarter of 2020 the Company began reporting adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense. Additional detail for the current and historical periods is provided in the tables below.

([3]) Includes cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.

([4]) Decrementals calculated as the change in adjusted EBITDA between two periods divided by the corresponding change in revenue.

Leveraging Our Portfolio

    --  Weatherford was awarded a contract from a major operator in Asia to
        deploy the TR1P(TM) single-trip completion system for two deepwater
        wells. TR1P is the industry's first digitally-enabled single-trip
        deepwater completion system. Our equipment will be used exclusively to
        install the upper and lower sand face completion. The award is
        recognition of the value that TR1P is delivering to customers, including
        through reductions in rig time, personnel on board, improved logistics,
        and eliminating the need for intervention services.
    --  Weatherford was awarded two five-year contract extensions from a
        National Oil Company in the Middle East for Liner Hangers and Tubular
        Running Services, including the Company's Vero(TM) automated connection
        integrity solution. The extensions enable Weatherford to continue to
        deliver on its consistent service quality and safety metrics, having
        gone nearly 20 years without a lost-time incident resulting from its
        liner hanger operations in this country, and to continue deploying
        technology to improve efficiencies.
    --  A major integrated energy operator awarded the Company a multi-year
        contract to provide annular Safety Valve solutions in the Caspian Sea.
        Apart from delivering unmatched performance, our offering utilizes
        unique technology that enables installations to be completed faster and
        safer than traditional operations.
    --  In the Middle East, an operator utilized multiple applications of
        Weatherford's Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) solution to drill the
        longest-ever offshore well section in the region (6,700 ft). The
        operation used pressurized mud cap drilling as well as constant bottom
        hole pressure applications to drill the section, install and cement a
        liner. The use of these managed pressure methods enabled the well to be
        delivered days ahead of schedule, saving the customer millions of
        dollars in rig time.
    --  Weatherford provided an integrated solution to an IOC in Argentina in
        the Vaca Muerta formation to complete a well in the region's fastest
        recorded time. The Company combined its Revolution(®) rotary steerable
        system, MPD, and Vero solutions, enabling the customer to drill the
        well's production section in under seven days or approximately 60% off
        the original plan. Moreover, the Vero solution delivered the customer's
        fastest-ever casing running in this field.
    --  The Company recorded several production-related achievements in the
        United States. In the Bakken, Weatherford deployed its Rotaflex(®) 1160
        long-stroke pumping unit for the first time, bridging the gap between
        ESP and traditional forms of lift, thus eliminating the need for the
        commonly used secondary ESP and saving the customer significant OPEX
        costs. The Company also received an award to install its ForeSite(®)
        Flow multiphase flowmeter package on an operator's wells in the Permian
        Basin. Additionally, Weatherford received approval from regulatory
        agencies in North Dakota and Texas to use ForeSite Flow as an allocation
        measurement tool, replacing the cost and footprint of a traditional test
        separator package and allowing for continuous flow measurement on each
        well.
    --  Weatherford received multiple safety awards during the quarter in the
        Middle East, Latin America, and Russia, including two CEO HSE awards
        from National Oil Companies in the Middle East in recognition of the
        Company's outstanding HSE performance.

Expanding Our Margins

Full-year 2020 adjusted EBITDA margins improved by 112 basis points year-on-year, despite a 29% reduction in revenue. The corresponding EBITDA decrementals were limited to 9%, primarily due to the Company's meaningful cost reduction actions.

Fourth-quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA margins declined 129 basis points sequentially, largely due to the non-repeat of a $12 million gain on the sale of operational assets during the third quarter. Excluding the impact of that transaction, adjusted EBITDA margins increased 20 basis points sequentially.

Enhancing Our Liquidity

The Company maintained its disciplined focus on cash flow during the quarter and ended the year with ample liquidity. Unlevered free cash flow of $95 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 improved by over $165 million versus the prior year, despite a 37% reduction in adjusted EBITDA. Full-year 2020 free cash flow of $78 million and unlevered free cash flow of $310 million, improved by over $900 million year-on-year due to the Company's efforts to control costs and reduce net working capital and capital expenditures, as well as the non-repeat of cash outflows in 2019 associated with the Company's financial restructuring. Total cash of approximately $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2020 was essentially unchanged from the prior quarter and liquidity improved by approximately $270 million year-on-year as the net benefit from the refinancing transactions was bolstered by positive free cash flow.

Fourth-quarter 2020 Western Hemisphere revenues of $372 million increased 18% sequentially and decreased 40% year-on-year.

In North America, fourth-quarter 2020 revenues of $201 million increased by 15% sequentially primarily due to increased Completion and Production sales in the United States and Canada and seasonal activity increases in Canada.

Fourth-quarter 2020 revenues of $171 million in Latin America increased 21% sequentially, driven by increased activity and year-end product sales in Argentina and Colombia, partially offset by lower activity in Mexico largely due to weather-related project delays.

Fourth-quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA of $41 million increased $12 million sequentially and associated margins of 11% improved by 180 basis points versus the third quarter of 2020. The growth in adjusted segment EBITDA was primarily driven by increased activity and product sales in Latin America.

Fourth-quarter 2020 Eastern Hemisphere revenues of $470 million declined 4% sequentially and 25% year-on-year.

In the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, fourth-quarter 2020 revenues of $289 million declined 9% sequentially, primarily due to reduced drilling activity across the Middle East, the non-repeat of Completion and Production sales in Saudi Arabia from the third quarter of 2020 and projects reaching the end of their work scope in Asia.

Fourth-quarter 2020 revenues in Europe, Sub Saharan Africa and Russia of $181 million increased 5% sequentially, primarily due to increased Completion and Production sales in the North Sea and the Mediterranean, which was partially offset by seasonally lower drilling activity in Russia.

Fourth-quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA of $87 million decreased $17 million sequentially, and associated margins of 19% declined 270 basis points versus the third quarter of 2020. The sequential decline in adjusted segment EBITDA was driven primarily by the non-repeat of a $12 million one-time gain on operational asset sales and, to a lesser extent, lower activity and product sales in the Middle East and Asia. Excluding the impact of the one-time gain on operational asset sales, fourth quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA margins declined by 20 basis points.

Restructuring Charges

Weatherford recorded restructuring and other charges of $89 million during the quarter, primarily related to the Company's facility consolidations and headcount reductions.

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 and ratios (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 operating income, provision for income taxes, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    ===



     [1] In the first quarter of 2020 the
          Company began reporting adjusted
          EBITDA excluding the burden of
          share-based compensation.
          Historical periods have been
          restated to reflect this
          methodology. For certain of the
          periods presented, Adjusted EBITDA
          includes the Gain on Sale of
          Operational Assets.


     [2] Free cash flow is a non-GAAP
          measure calculated as cash flows
          provided by (used in) operating
          activities, less capital
          expenditures for property, plant
          and equipment plus proceeds from
          the disposition of assets.
          Management believes free cash flow
          is useful to understand liquidity
          and should be considered in
          addition to but not substitute cash
          flows provided by (used in)
          operating activities.
