Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect:
•the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and
•the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Our execution of certain trades, known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate, resulted in a $104 million pre-tax loss during the second quarter of 2023. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Note 3. Revenue
Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our two reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold, 46 % and 44 % of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and products in exchange for consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of receivables and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance consideration received from customers for contracts where revenue is recognized on future performance of service. Deferred revenue, as well as revenue recognized during the period relating to amounts included as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We have some long-term contracts related to software and integrated project management services such as lump sum turnkey contracts. For software contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time throughout the license period when the software is considered to be a right to access our intellectual property. For lump sum turnkey projects, we recognize revenue over time using an input method, which requires us to exercise judgment. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for these long-term contracts is not material.
Receivables
As of June 30, 2023, 35 % of our net trade receivables were from customers in the United States and 11 % were from customers in Mexico. As of December 31, 2022, 38 % of our net trade receivables were from customers in the United States and 11 % were from customers in Mexico. Receivables from our primary customer in Mexico accounted for approximately 9 No 10
We have risk of delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues. We routinely monitor the financial stability of our customers and employ an extensive process to evaluate the collectability of outstanding receivables. This process, which involves a high degree of judgment utilizing significant assumptions, includes analysis of our customers’ historical time to pay, financial condition and various financial metrics, debt structure, credit ratings, and production profile, as well as political and economic factors in countries of operations and other customer-specific factors.

Note 5. Accounts Payable
Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted new supplier finance program disclosure requirements contained in guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASU 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations"), other than the roll-forward disclosure, which we will adopt at the beginning of 2024.
We have agreements with third parties that allow our participating suppliers to finance payment obligations from us with designated third-party financial institutions who act as our paying agent. We have generally extended our payment terms with suppliers to 90 days. A participating supplier may request a participating financial institution to finance one or more of our payment obligations to such supplier prior to the scheduled due date thereof at a discounted price. We are not required to provide collateral to the financial institutions.
Our obligations to participating suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts due under these financing arrangements. Our outstanding payment obligations under these agreements were $324 million as of June 30, 2023, and $273 million as of December 31, 2022, and are included in accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 6. Income Taxes
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $167 million on a pre-tax income of $783 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.3 % for the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $114 million on a pre-tax income of $231 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 49.3 % for the quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 of the decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $341 million on a pre-tax income of $1.6 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.1 % for the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $182 million on a pre-tax income of $563 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.2 % for the period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 of the decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal or governmental proceedings, claims or investigations, including personal injury, property damage, environmental, intellectual property, commercial, tax, and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. There is inherent risk in any legal or governmental proceeding, claim or investigation, and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these proceedings.
Guarantee arrangements
In the normal course of business, we have in place agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $2.2 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of June 30, 2023. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization. None of these off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 9. Income per Share
Basic income or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.
A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share computations is as follows:

Note 10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
The carrying amount and fair value of our total debt, including short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt, is as follows:

| Total debt | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
In the first half of 2023, the fair value of our debt increased as a result of lower debt yields.
Our debt categorized within level 1 on the fair value hierarchy is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities with transactions occurring on the last two days of period-end. Our debt categorized within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy is calculated using significant observable inputs for similar liabilities where estimated values are determined from observable data points on our other bonds and on other similarly rated corporate debt or from observable data points of transactions occurring prior to two days from period-end and adjusting for changes in market conditions. Differences between the periods presented in our level 1 and level 2 classification of our long-term debt relate to the timing of when third party market transactions on our debt are executed.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Organization
We are one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. We help our customers maximize value throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir - from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production throughout the life of the asset. Activity levels within our operations are significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development, and production programs by major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies. We report our results under two segments, the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment.
•Completion and Production delivers cementing, stimulation, intervention, pressure control, artificial lift, specialty chemicals, and completion products and services. The segment consists of Production Enhancement, Cementing, Completion Tools, Production Solutions, Artificial Lift, Multi-Chem, and Pipeline and Process Services.
•Drilling and Evaluation provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, fluids, evaluation, and precise wellbore placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, drill, and optimize their well construction activities. The segment consists of Baroid, Sperry Drilling, Wireline and Perforating, Drill Bits and Services, Landmark Software and Services, Testing and Subsea, and Project Management.
The business operations of our segments are organized around four primary geographic regions: North America, Latin America, Europe/Africa/CIS, and Middle East/Asia. We have manufacturing operations in various locations, the most significant of which are in the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. With approximately 47,000 employees, we operate in more than 70 countries around the world, and our corporate headquarters is in Houston, Texas.
Our value proposition is to collaborate and engineer solutions to maximize asset value for our customers. We work to achieve strong cash flows and returns for our shareholders by delivering technology and services that improve efficiency, increase recovery, and maximize production for our customers. Our strategic priorities are to:

Market conditions
Commodity price volatility continued during the second quarter of 2023 driven by inflationary pressures, changes to OPEC+ production levels, supply chain shortages, demand uncertainty, recessionary fears, and geopolitical conflicts. On June 4, 2023, Saudi Arabia announced it would reduce July production by 1 million barrels per day. On July 3, 2023, Saudi Arabia announced that reduction would extend through August 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price averaged approximately $74 per barrel and the Brent crude oil price averaged approximately $78 per barrel. Both of these prices were well below the average price per barrel for 2022. The average Henry Hub natural gas price during the second quarter was $2.16 per million BTU, which is also well below the average price during 2022. While U.S. land rig counts increased in 2022, there has been a decline in the rig count during the second quarter of 2023. These factors contributed to softness in the market for energy services generally in North America and particularly in gas basins during the second quarter of 2023. The United States Energy Information Administration (EIA)'s July 2023 forecast has Brent crude oil spot price averaging $78 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023 and increasing to approximately $80 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Globally, we continue to be impacted by increased supply chain lead times for the supply of select raw materials. We monitor market trends and work to mitigate cost impacts through economies of scale in global procurement, technology modifications, and efficient sourcing practices. Also, while we have been impacted by inflationary cost increases, primarily related to chemicals, cement, and logistics costs, we generally try to pass much of those increases on to our customers and we believe we have effective solutions to minimize the operational impact.
Financial results
The following graph illustrates our revenue and operating margins for each operating segment for the second quarter of 2022 and 2023.
HAL Q2 2023 FORM 10-Q | 13
| Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview | ||||||||
During the second quarter of 2023, we generated total company revenue of $5.8 billion, a 14% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2022. We reported operating income of $1.0 billion during the second quarter of 2023 compared to operating income of $374 million during the second quarter of 2022, which included the effects of $344 million of impairments and other charges related to our decision to market for sale our Russia operations. Our Completion and Production segment revenue increased 19% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased pressure pumping services in North America land as well as higher completion tool sales and artificial lift activity globally. Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue increased 7% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by improvements in drilling-related services globally and wireline activity in the Middle East/Asia region. Both segment results were negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022, as a result of the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2022.
In North America, our revenue increased 11% in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to the second quarter of 2022, driven by improved stimulation activity and pricing gains and higher artificial lift activity in North America land, in addition to increased drilling-related services across the region. The North America average rig count increased 1% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Internationally, revenue increased 17% in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by improved drilling-related services, higher completion tool sales, and increased pressure pumping services across the regions, partially offset by the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2022. The international average rig count increased 18% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Sustainability and Energy Advancement
We continue to pursue our strategic initiatives around advancing cleaner, affordable energy, and supporting sustainable energy advancements using innovation and technology to decarbonize both our and our customers' operations. This includes the continued development and deployment of solutions designed to help oil and gas operators lower their environmental impact while also using our existing technologies in sustainable energy applications.
Halliburton Labs, our clean energy accelerator, continues to provide us insight into developing value chains in the energy mix transition and opportunities to assist early stage companies to enable them to achieve scaling milestones. Halliburton Labs has 25 participants and alumni as of the end of the second quarter of 2023.
Our operating performance and liquidity are described in more detail in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and “Business Environment and Results of Operations.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2023, we had $2.1 billion of cash and equivalents, compared to $2.3 billion of cash and equivalents at December 31, 2022.
Significant sources and uses of cash during the first six months of 2023
Sources of cash:
•Cash flows from operating activities were $1.2 billion. This included a negative impact from the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories, and accounts payable) of a net $589 million, primarily associated with increased receivables and inventory.
Uses of cash:
•Capital expenditures were $571 million.
•We paid $348 million for the repurchase of 11 million shares of our common stock.
•We paid $289 million of dividends to our shareholders.
Future sources and uses of cash
We manufacture most of our own equipment, which provides us with some flexibility to increase or decrease our capital expenditures based on market conditions. We currently expect capital spending for 2023 to be within our target of approximately 5-6% of revenue. We believe this level of spend will allow us to invest in our key strategic areas. However, we will continue to maintain capital discipline and monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics, and we may adjust our capital spend accordingly.
While we maintain focus on liquidity and debt reduction, we are also focused on providing cash returns to our shareholders. Our quarterly dividend rate is $0.16 per common share, or approximately $144 million. In January of 2023, our Board of Directors approved a capital return framework with a goal of returning at least 50% of our annual free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and we expect our returns to shareholders will be in line with our capital return framework for 2023.
We may utilize share repurchases as part of our capital return framework. Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. Repurchases of 8.1 million shares of common stock occurred during the second quarter of 2023 under this program. Approximately $4.5 billion remained authorized for repurchases as of June 30, 2023 and may be used for open market and other share purchases.
During the second quarter, Halliburton kicked off its migration to SAP S4. The total project investment is estimated to cost approximately $250 million over the next two and a half years. This new system will provide important efficiency benefits, cost savings, visibility to our operations, and advanced analytics that will benefit Halliburton and its customers.
Other factors affecting liquidity
Financial position in current market. As of June 30, 2023, we had $2.1 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.5 billion of available committed bank credit under a revolving credit facility with an expiration date of April 27, 2027. We believe we have a manageable debt maturity profile, with approximately $500 million coming due beginning in 2025 through 2027. Furthermore, we have no financial covenants or material adverse change provisions in our bank agreements, and our debt maturities extend over a long period of time. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and our available credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market and our global cash needs, including capital expenditures, working capital investments, shareholder returns, if any, and contingent liabilities.
Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $2.2 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of June 30, 2023. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization; however, none of these triggering events have occurred. As of June 30, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet liabilities and were not required to make any material cash distributions to our unconsolidated subsidiaries.
HAL Q2 2023 FORM 10-Q | 15
| Part I. Item 2 | Liquidity and Capital Resources | ||||||||
Credit ratings. Our credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s (S&P) remain BBB+ for our long-term debt and A-2 for our short-term debt, with a stable outlook. Our credit ratings with Moody’s Investors Service (Moody's) remain Baa1 for our long-term debt and P-2 for our short-term debt, with a stable outlook.
Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to our customers delaying or failing to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets, as well as unsettled political conditions.
Receivables from our primary customer in Mexico accounted for approximately 9% of our total receivables as of June 30, 2023. While we have experienced payment delays from our primary customer in Mexico, the amounts are not in dispute and we have not historically had, and we do not expect, any material write-offs due to collectability of receivables from this customer.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We operate in more than 70 countries throughout the world to provide a comprehensive range of services and products to the energy industry. Our revenue is generated from the sale of services and products to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide. The industry we serve is highly competitive with many substantial competitors in each segment of our business. During the first six months of 2023, based upon the location of the services provided and products sold, 46% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States, compared to 44% of our consolidated revenue from the United States in the first six months of 2022. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.
Activity within our business segments is significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development, and production programs by our customers. Also impacting our activity is the status of the global economy, which impacts oil and natural gas consumption.
Some of the more significant determinants of current and future spending levels of our customers are oil and natural gas prices and our customers' expectations about future prices, global oil supply and demand, completions intensity, the world economy, the availability of capital, government regulation, and global stability, which together drive worldwide drilling and completions activity. Additionally, during 2023, we generally expect that many of our customers in North America will continue their strategy of operating within their cash flows and generating returns rather than prioritizing production growth. Lower oil and natural gas prices usually translate into lower exploration and production budgets and lower rig count, while the opposite is usually true for higher oil and natural gas prices. Our financial performance is therefore significantly affected by oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.
The table below shows the average prices for WTI crude oil, United Kingdom Brent crude oil, and Henry Hub natural gas.

Business outlook
According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) July 2023 "Short Term Energy Outlook", the Brent spot price is expected to average $78 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023, with an expected full year 2023 average of $79 per barrel, a decline of approximately $22 per barrel, or 22%, as compared to the full year 2022 average. According to the EIA, WTI prices are expected to average $73 per barrel in the third quarter of 2023 and to average $74 per barrel for the full year 2023, resulting in a decrease of approximately $21 per barrel, or 22%, compared to the full year 2022.
The EIA July 2023 “Short Term Energy Outlook” projects Henry Hub natural gas prices to average $2.63 per MMBtu during the third quarter of 2023, and to average $2.62 per MMBtu for the full year 2023, resulting in a decrease of $3.83 per MMBtu, or 59%, compared to the full year 2022.
Per the International Energy Agency (IEA) July 2023 "Oil Market Report", the forecasted global oil demand is set to average 102.1 million barrels per day in 2023, an approximate 2 million barrels per day increase from 2022. The EIA projects crude oil production in the United States will average 12.56 million barrels per day in 2023, an approximate 6% increase from the average 11.89 million barrels per day in 2022.
We continue to expect that oil and gas demand will grow over the next several years, despite the actions taken by central banks in an attempt to control inflation by increasing interest rates and the resulting concern about a potential economic slowdown. We believe the demand will be driven by economic expansion, energy security concerns, and population growth. Oil and gas continues to demonstrate its critical role in the global economy and meeting long term demand requires sustained capital investment. We believe many years of increased investment in existing and new sources of production is the only solution to increase supply and that production will be needed from conventional and unconventional, deep-water and shallow-water, and short and long-cycle projects.
Despite the softness in the market for energy services in North America during the first six months of the year as discussed above, we expect upstream spending to grow in 2023, with international and North America upstream spending growth in the high teens and around 10%, respectively, compared to 2022. We anticipate overall upstream market activity in North America in the second half of 2023 to be slightly lower than in the first half. Our international business is growing at a strong pace across all regions, and we expect our differentiated technology offerings, selective contract wins, and our unique collaborative approach to working with our customers, to deliver profitable growth.

Operating Segments
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $3.5 billion, an increase of $565 million, or 19%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 was $707 million, an increase of $208 million, or 42%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. These results were driven by increased pressure pumping services and artificial lift activity in North America land along with higher completion sales globally. These improvements were partially offset by reduced well intervention services in North America land.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $2.3 billion, an increase of $159 million, or 7%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 was $376 million, an increase of $90 million, or 31%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. These results were due to an increase in drilling-related services globally and higher wireline activity in the Middle East. Partially offsetting these improvements was lower project management activity in Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Ecuador.
Both segments' results were negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022, as a result of the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2022.

Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $2.7 billion, an 11% increase compared to the second quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily driven by improved stimulation activity and pricing gains, mainly in North America land, higher completion tool sales and drilling-related services across the region, improved artificial lift and cementing activity, and increased well intervention services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Partially offsetting these improvements were decreased well intervention services in North America land and decreased pressure pumping services in Canada.
Latin America
Latin America revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $994 million, a 31% increase compared to the second quarter of 2022, due to increased well construction services, project management activity, and software sales in Mexico, along with higher completion tool sales, testing services, and wireline activity across the region, and improved pressure pumping and drilling-related services in Argentina. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower project management activity and drilling-related services in Colombia and Ecuador.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $698 million, a 3% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2022. This decline was primarily driven by the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2022, in addition to reduced activity across multiple product service lines in Norway. These decreases were partially offset by improved well construction services in Africa, and higher completion tool sales, pressure pumping services, and fluids services across the region.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue in the second quarter of 2023 was $1.4 billion, a 20% increase compared to the second quarter of 2022, resulting from improved drilling-related services, higher completion tool sales, increased stimulation activity, and increased wireline services across the region, in addition to improved project management activity in Iraq and Kuwait. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower project management activity in Saudi Arabia and reduced well construction services in Australia.
Other Operating Items
SAP S4 Upgrade Expense. During the second quarter of 2023, Halliburton kicked off its migration to SAP S4 which will take place over the next two and a half years. This new system will provide important efficiency benefits, cost savings, enhanced visibility to our operations, and advanced analytics that will benefit Halliburton and its customers. We expect this upgrade to payback in three years after an investment of $250 million. For the second quarter of 2023, we recognized expense of $13 million on the migration.
Impairments and other charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $344 million, related to the write down of all our net assets in Russia as a result of our decision to market our Russia operations for sale due to the additional sanctions enacted against Russia arising from the conflict in Ukraine.
Nonoperating Items
Argentina Blue Chip Swap. The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. The execution of certain trades known as Blue Chip Swaps, effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. This parallel rate, which cannot be used as the basis to remeasure our net monetary assets in U.S. dollars under U.S. GAAP, was 101% higher than Argentina's official exchange rate at June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions, which resulted in a $104 million pre-tax loss on investment.
Effective tax rate. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $167 million on a pre-tax income of $783 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.3% for the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $114 million on a pre-tax income of $231 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 49.3% for the quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 of our decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.

Operating Segments
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in the first six months of 2023 was $6.9 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion, or 31%, compared to the first six months of 2022. Operating income for the segment in the first six months of 2023 was $1.4 billion, an increase of $578 million, or 73%, compared to the first six months of 2022. These results were primarily driven by higher utilization and pricing for pressure pumping services in North America land and Mexico and higher completion tool sales in Brazil, U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and Saudi Arabia. Also improving were artificial lift activity in North America land and Kuwait and well intervention services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower completion tool sales in Norway.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first six months of 2023 was $4.6 billion, an increase of $496 million, or 12%, compared to the first six months of 2022. Operating income for the segment in the first six months of 2023 was $745 million, an increase of $165 million, or 28%, compared to the first six months of 2022. These results were primarily impacted by increased drilling-related services in Middle East/Asia and Mexico, higher wireline activity globally, and increased project management activity in Mexico. Increased fluid services in North America land and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico also contributed to the results. Partially offsetting these improvements was decreased project management activity in Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Ecuador.
Both segment results were negatively impacted in the first six months of 2023 when compared to the first six months of 2022, as a result of the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2022.

Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue in the first six months of 2023 was $5.5 billion, a 26% increase compared to the first six months of 2022, largely driven by higher activity and pricing primarily associated with pressure pumping and wireline activity in North America land and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and fluid services across the region. Improved artificial lift activity in North America land along with higher completion tool sales in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico also contributed to this increase. Partially offsetting these improvements was lower well intervention services in North America land.
Latin America
Latin America revenue in the first six months of 2023 was $1.9 billion, a 35% increase compared to the first six months of 2022, resulting primarily from improvements across multiple product service lines in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina along with higher completion tool sales in the Caribbean. Partially offsetting these improvements was lower project management activity in Colombia and Ecuador.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the first six months of 2023 was $1.4 billion, a 3% decrease compared to the first six months of 2022. This decline was primarily driven by the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2022, in addition to lower activity across multiple product service lines in Norway and reduced drilling-related services in Azerbaijan. These declines were partially offset by increases in multiple product service lines in Angola, West Africa, and the United Kingdom combined with increased pressure pumping in Algeria and Egypt.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue in the first six months of 2023 was $2.7 billion, a 25% increase compared to the first six months of 2022, resulting primarily from increased activity across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, and Iraq, higher drilling services in Thailand, and improved project management activity in Kuwait. Partially offsetting these improvements was lower drilling and wireline activity in Australia.
Other Operating Items
SAP S4 Upgrade Expense. As noted above, Halliburton kicked off its migration to SAP S4 which will take place over the next two and a half years. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized expense of $13 million on the migration.
Impairments and other charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $366 million, primarily related to a $344 million write down of all our net assets in Russia as a result of our decision in the second quarter of 2022 to market our Russia operations for sale due to the additional sanctions enacted against Russia arising from the conflict in Ukraine. In the first quarter of 2022, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $22 million to write down all of our assets in Ukraine, including $16 million in receivables, due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Nonoperating Items
Argentina Blue Chip Swap. As noted above, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, we entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions, which resulted in a $104 million pre-tax loss on investment during the six-month period.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $42 million loss on the early redemption of $600 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.8% senior notes, which included premiums and unamortized expenses.
Effective tax rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $341 million on a pre-tax income of $1.6 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.1%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $182 million on pre-tax income of $563 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.2%. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 of our decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made this ____ day of ___________, 20___, by and between Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned __________ (“Officer”).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Officer is a corporate officer of the Company and is listed as an “executive officer” of the Company in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, in such capacity, Officer is performing valuable services for the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Officer recognize the risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against officers of companies in today’s environment as a result of Officer’s position with the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that difficulties relating to the attraction and retention of qualified persons to serve as officers of the Company would be detrimental to the best interests of the Company and of its stockholders; and
WHEREAS, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the By-laws of the Company provide that they are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and its officers with respect to indemnification of such officers;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and of Officer’s continued service to the Company, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Indemnification - General. The Company and Officer agree that any existing agreement between the Company and Officer relating to the indemnification of Officer as authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall be of no further force or effect and instead shall be replaced with this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to Officer to the fullest extent, and only to the extent, permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The rights of Officer provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify Officer in connection with a Proceeding initiated by Officer only if such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
2.Proceedings Other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Officer shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 2 if, by reason of Officer’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Officer was or is, or is threatened to be made, a witness in or a party to a Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 2, Officer shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Officer or on Officer’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Officer acted in good faith and in a manner Officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Officer’s conduct was unlawful.
3.Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Officer shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 3, if, by reason of Officer’s Corporate Status,
Officer was or is, or is threatened to be made, a witness in or a party to a Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Officer shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Officer or on Officer’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding if Officer acted in good faith and in a manner Officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company if applicable law prohibits such indemnification; provided, however, that, if applicable law so permits, indemnification against Expenses shall nevertheless be made by the Company despite such adjudication of liability, if and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine.
4.Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Officer is, by reason of Officer’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Officer shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Officer or on Officer’s behalf in connection therewith. If Officer is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Officer against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Officer or on Officer’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For the purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
5.Contribution. In the event that the indemnification rights contained in Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement are unavailable or insufficient to hold Officer harmless in a Proceeding described therein for any reason whatsoever (other than Officer failing to meet the applicable requirements of such Section), then in accordance with the non-exclusivity provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the By-laws of the Company, and separate from and in addition to, the indemnity provided elsewhere herein, the Company shall contribute to Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Officer in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Company on the one hand and Officer on the other in the acts, transactions or matters to which the Proceeding relates and other equitable considerations.
6.Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
(a)To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Officer shall submit to the Company a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Officer and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Officer is entitled to indemnification. The determination of Officer’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after receipt by the Company of the written request for indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Officer has requested indemnification.
(b)Officer’s entitlement to indemnification under any of Sections 2, 3, and 4, and to contribution under Section 5, of this Agreement shall be determined in the specific case: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined); or (ii) by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), in a written opinion if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if
obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs. If, with regard to Section 5 of this Agreement, such a determination is not permitted by law or if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, such determination shall be made by the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or the court in which the Proceeding giving rise to the claim for indemnification is brought.
(c)In the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification or contribution is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Officer advising Officer of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Officer may, within seven days after receipt of such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected shall be disqualified from acting as such. If, within 20 days after submission by Officer of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected, or if selected shall have been objected to, in accordance with this Section 6(c), either the Company or Officer may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.
(d) In connection with any determination of entitlement to indemnification or contribution hereunder, the determining party shall presume that Officer has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the burden of proof shall be on the Company or its representative to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that Officer is not so entitled.
7.Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Officer in connection with any Proceeding within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Officer requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Officer shall, and hereby undertakes to, repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Officer is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
8.Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. The termination of any Proceeding described in any of Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Officer to indemnification or create a presumption that Officer did not act in good faith and in a manner which Officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Officer had reasonable cause to believe that Officer’s conduct was unlawful.
9.Term of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall commence as of the time Officer commenced to serve as an officer, employee or agent of the Company (or commenced to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue for so long as Officer shall so serve or shall be, or could become, subject to any possible Proceeding in respect of which Officer is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder.
10.Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Officer of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Officer will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Officer otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Officer notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:
(a)The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.
(b)Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Officer, upon providing notice of the same to Officer. After notice from the Company to Officer of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Officer under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by Officer in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Officer shall have the right to employ its counsel in such Proceeding but the Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Officer unless (i) the employment of counsel by Officer has been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) Officer shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Officer in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Officer shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above.
(c)The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Officer under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding or claim effected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Officer without Officer’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Officer will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.
11.Enforcement.
(a)The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Officer to continue as an officer of the Company, and acknowledges that Officer is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.
(b)In the event Officer is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Officer for all of Officer’s reasonable Expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.
12.Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Officer may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the By-laws of the Company, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.
13.Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a)“Corporate Status” describes the status of serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Officer is or was serving for or at the request of the Company.
(b)“Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not at any time a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Officer.
(c)“Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other fees, disbursements and expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating or otherwise participating in a Proceeding.
(d)“Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Officer in any matter material to either of them or (ii) any party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Officer in an action to determine Officer’s rights under this Agreement.
(e)“Proceeding” includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than a proceeding brought under Section 11(b) hereof or otherwise initiated seeking indemnification hereunder unless such proceeding was authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors.
14.Severability
. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

Execution and delivery of this Agreement electronically signed by Officer and/or the Company via DocuSign or such other commercially available electronic software which results in confirmed signatures delivered electronically shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement. Such electronic copies shall constitute enforceable original documents and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Neither party shall raise the use of electronic mail attachment in “pdf” or similar format to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature was transmitted or communicated as an attachment to an electronic mail message, as a defense to the formation of a contract and waives any such defense. An electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence of execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. The parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Title:
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made this ____ day of __________, 20__, by and between Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned ____________ (“Director”).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Director is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and in such capacity is performing valuable services for the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Director recognize the risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against directors of companies in today’s environment as a result of Director’s service to the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that difficulties relating to the attraction and retention of qualified persons to serve as directors of the Company would be detrimental to the best interests of the Company and of its stockholders; and
WHEREAS, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the By-laws of the Company provide that they are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of its Board of Directors with respect to indemnification of such members;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and of Director’s continued service as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Indemnification - General. The Company and Director agree that any existing agreement between the Company and Director relating to the indemnification of Director as authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall be of no further force or effect and instead shall be replaced with this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to Director to the fullest extent, and only to the extent, permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The rights of Director provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify Director in connection with a Proceeding initiated by Director only if such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
2. Proceedings Other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Director shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 2 if, by reason of Director’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Director was or is, or is threatened to be made, a witness in or a party to a Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 2, Director shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Director or on Director’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Director acted in good faith and in a manner Director reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Director’s conduct was unlawful.
3. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Director shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 3, if, by reason of Director’s Corporate Status,
Director was or is, or is threatened to be made, a witness in or a party to a Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Director shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Director or on Director’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding if Director acted in good faith and in a manner Director reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company if applicable law prohibits such indemnification; provided, however, that, if applicable law so permits, indemnification against Expenses shall nevertheless be made by the Company despite such adjudication of liability, if and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine.
4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Director is, by reason of Director’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Director shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Director or on Director’s behalf in connection therewith. If Director is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Director against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Director or on Director’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For the purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
5. Contribution. In the event that the indemnification rights contained in Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement are unavailable or insufficient to hold Director harmless in a Proceeding described therein for any reason whatsoever (other than Director failing to meet the applicable requirements of such Section), then in accordance with the non-exclusivity provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the By-laws of the Company, and separate from and in addition to, the indemnity provided elsewhere herein, the Company shall contribute to Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Director in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Company on the one hand and Director on the other in the acts, transactions or matters to which the Proceeding relates and other equitable considerations.
6. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Director shall submit to the Company a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Director and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Director is entitled to indemnification. The determination of Director’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after receipt by the Company of the written request for indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Director has requested indemnification.
(b) Director’s entitlement to indemnification under any of Sections 2, 3 and 4, and to contribution under Section 5, of this Agreement shall be determined in the specific case: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined); or (ii) by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), in a written opinion if a quorum of the
Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs. If, with regard to Section 5 of this Agreement, such a determination is not permitted by law or if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, such determination shall be made by the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or the court in which the Proceeding giving rise to the claim for indemnification is brought.
(c) In the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification or contribution is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Director advising Director of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Director may, within seven days after receipt of such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected shall be disqualified from acting as such. If, within 20 days after submission by Director of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected, or if selected shall have been objected to, in accordance with this Section 6(c), either the Company or Director may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.
(d) In connection with any determination of entitlement to indemnification or contribution hereunder, the determining party shall presume that Director has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the burden of proof shall be on the Company or its representative to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that Director is not so entitled.
7. Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Director in connection with any Proceeding within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Director requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Director shall, and hereby undertakes to, repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
8. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. The termination of any proceeding described in any of Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Director to indemnification or create a presumption that Director did not act in good faith and in a manner which Director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Director had reasonable cause to believe that Director’s conduct was unlawful.
9. Term of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall commence as of the time Director commenced to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or commenced to serve at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue for so long as Director shall so serve or shall be, or could become, subject to any possible Proceeding in respect of which Director is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder.
10. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Director of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Director will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Director otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Director notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:
(a) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.
(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Director, upon providing notice of the same to Director. After notice from the Company to Director of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Director under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by Director in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Director shall have the right to employ its counsel in such Proceeding but the Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Director unless (i) the employment of counsel by Director has been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) Director shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Director in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Director shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above.
(c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Director under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding or claim effected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Director without Director’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Director will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement.
11. Enforcement.
(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Director to continue as a director of the Company, and acknowledges that Director is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.
(b) In the event Director is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Director for all of Director’s reasonable Expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.
12. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which Director may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the By-laws of the Company, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Director in an action to determine Director’s rights under this Agreement.

Exhibit 95
Mine Safety Disclosures
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, each operator of a mine is required to include certain mine safety results in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. The operation of our mines is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act). Below, we present the following items regarding certain mining safety and health matters for the quarter ended June 30, 2023:
▪total number of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard under section 104 of the Mine Act for which we have received a citation from MSHA;
▪total number of orders issued under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which covers violations that had previously been cited under section 104(a) that, upon follow-up inspection by MSHA, are found not to have been totally abated within the prescribed time period, which results in the issuance of an order requiring the mine operator to immediately withdraw all persons (except certain authorized persons) from the mine;
▪total number of citations and orders for unwarrantable failure of the mine operator to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act;
▪total number of flagrant violations (i.e., reckless or repeated failure to make reasonable efforts to eliminate a known violation of a mandatory health or safety standard that substantially and proximately caused, or reasonably could have been expected to cause, death or serious bodily injury) under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act;
▪total number of imminent danger orders (i.e., the existence of any condition or practice in a mine which could reasonably be expected to cause death or serious physical harm before such condition or practice can be abated) issued under section 107(a) of the Mine Act;
▪total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act;
▪total number of mining-related fatalities; and
▪total number of pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission involving such mine.

| (1) | The definition of a mine under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools and preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine. | ||||
| (2) | Amounts included are the total dollar value of proposed or outstanding assessments received from MSHA on or before July 3, 2023 regardless of whether the assessment has been challenged or appealed, for citations and orders occurring during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. | ||||
In addition, as required by the reporting requirements regarding mine safety included in §1503(a)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the following is a list for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, of each mine of which we or a subsidiary of ours is an operator, that has received written notice from MSHA of:
(a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under
§104(e) of the Mine Act:
None; or
(b) the potential to have such a pattern:
None.
Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are sometimes reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary by inspector and also vary depending on the size and type of the operation.
