PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Weatherford International, Inc. is one of the world's leading providers of equipment and services used forthe drilling, completion and production of oil and natural gas wells. We conduct operations in over 50countries and have more than 400 manufacturing and service and sales locations in nearly all of the oil andnatural gas producing regions in the world. We are among the leaders in each of our primary markets and ourdistribution and service network is one of the most extensive in the industry.
Our business is divided into three principal operating divisions:
‚ Drilling and Intervention Services Ì This division provides (1) drilling services and equipment rental,(2) well installation services, (3) cementing products and (4) underbalanced drilling and specialtypipeline services. It is a leader in each of these markets.
‚ Completion Systems Ì This division provides a wide range of completion products and services. Itmaintains a growing share of the world's completion market and oÅers leading proprietary and patentedtechnologies aimed at maximizing production.
‚ ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Ì This division is the only organization in the world that is able to provide allforms of artiÑcial lift used for the production of oil and gas. It also provides products and services whichoptimize and automate well production management.
In addition to the above operations, we also operated a Compression Services Division during 2000. InFebruary 2001, we completed the merger of essentially all of this division into a subsidiary of UniversalCompression Holdings, Inc. in exchange for 13.75 million shares of, or an approximate 48% interest in,Universal. Following the merger, Universal became the world's second largest provider of natural gascompression services. Universal oÅers a range of products and services from complete Ñeld compressionmanagement to single sales and rentals of compressor units, compressor maintenance, fabrication andproducts.
In April 2000, we completed the spin-oÅ to our stockholders of our Drilling Products Division through adistribution of the stock of our Grant Prideco, Inc. subsidiary. Grant Prideco is the world's largest provider ofdrill stem products and is a leading provider of premium tubulars and connections in North America. GrantPrideco's operations have been classiÑed as discontinued in our Ñnancial statements.
The following is a discussion of each of our businesses. The discussions include descriptions of ourproducts and services oÅered, our strategy for growth and the markets in which we compete. We have alsoincluded a discussion of our recent Ñnancial results, the trends aÅecting our results and our Ñnancial condition.We believe you will Ñnd these discussions informative and helpful in gaining a better understanding ofWeatherford.
References To Weatherford
When referring to Weatherford and using phrases such as ""we'' and ""us,'' the intent is to refer toWeatherford International, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a whole or on a divisional basis depending on thecontext in which the statements are made.
Strategy
Our primary objective is to provide our stockholders with above average returns on their investmentthrough income growth and asset appreciation. We seek to achieve this objective through the pursuit ofstrategic investments and technology opportunities that will enhance the long-term value of our companywhile improving the market shares, oÅerings and proÑtability of our existing businesses. Our strategy forgrowth is to focus on selected areas and markets in which there exist opportunities for higher market growth or

penetration or enhanced returns through consolidations or through the provision of proprietary value-addedproducts and services. Our objective is not to provide all products and services necessary for the explorationand development of oil and gas reserves but rather to provide complete product and service capabilities withinspeciÑed market segments of the industry in which we have competitive advantages or where signiÑcantgrowth potential exists.
Principal components of our growth strategy include the following:
‚ Invest in technology to provide customers value-added products and services that can reduce the costof exploration and production of oil and gas. Examples of these technologies include our expandableproducts and services for sand control and well construction, liners and our underbalanced drillingtechnologies.
‚ Pursue strategic acquisitions, consolidations and combinations for long-term growth in new or existingmarkets.
‚ Continually review our asset holdings for ways to maximize value. The recent merger of ourCompression Services Division into Universal, which is intended to allow it to take advantage of growthopportunities outside of Weatherford, is an example of this strategy.
‚ Take advantage of secular growth trends in production enhancement technologies such as un-derbalanced drilling, expandable tubular technology, artiÑcial lift and well re-entry.
‚ Leverage our worldwide infrastructure to introduce new products and services.

Of these charges,$16.3 million relates to our Compression Services Division and $40.0 million relates to Corporate.

(c) In 1998, we incurred $160.0 million in merger and other charges relating to the merger of EVI, Inc. andWeatherford Enterra, Inc. on May 27, 1998 and a reorganization and rationalization of our business tomatch industry conditions. Of these charges, $40.8 million, $4.2 million, $40.8 million, $1.5 million and$72.7 million relate to Drilling and Intervention Services, Completion Systems, ArtiÑcial Lift Systems,Compression Services and Corporate, respectively.
Geographic Data
Historically, a large portion of our business was concentrated in the United States and Canada. We alsohad a strong international presence in all of the oil producing regions of the world through our Drilling andIntervention Services Division. As the world's oil reserves have matured, international exploration, develop-ment and production have and will become more dominant.
Following the merger of EVI and Weatherford Enterra in 1998, we began a concentrated program toexpand our operations and shift more of our business internationally by utilizing the strength of our serviceinfrastructure to introduce new and existing products and services in these markets. Our eÅorts included:
‚ OÅering our completion systems and artiÑcial lift systems through our international service locations.During 1999 and in 2000, this initiative helped generate sales and project awards for our CompletionSystems Division in Brunei, South America and West Africa and for our ArtiÑcial Lift SystemsDivision in Argentina, Venezuela and China.
‚ Pursuing opportunities on a global basis for new performance-enhancing technologies and products inmultilateral, extended reach, completion, re-entry and underbalanced drilling applications. Successesinclude the global introduction of roller centralizers for extended reach drilling, revolutionary new sandcontrol products and underbalanced drilling for oÅshore applications.

Underbalanced Drilling and Specialty Pipeline Services
Underbalanced drilling occurs when the bottom hole pressure exerted by the hydrostatic head of thedrilling Öuid column is less than the pressure of the formation being drilled. In underbalanced applications thereservoir is able to Öow while the drilling takes place and thereby protects the formation from damage from thedrilling Öuids. Traditional drilling methods utilize weighted drilling Öuids that prevent the Öow of hydrocar-bons during drilling. There are several advantages to underbalanced drilling, including faster rates of drill bitpenetration, reduction of formation damage that inhibits production rates and minimization of lost circulationand costly stimulations. Underbalanced drilling is considered to be particularly desirable for drilling in olderÑelds and reservoirs where the downhole pressure has declined. We believe that many older Ñelds andreservoirs cannot be economically drilled other than through the use of underbalanced drilling. We estimatethat at least 20% of the world's wells are likely to be drilled underbalanced during the next 5-10 years, withthat percentage increasing over time.
We believe that we are the industry leader in underbalanced drilling and are the only company in theworld that can oÅer all critical components on a worldwide basis. These components include:
‚ Surface Equipment Ì Specially designed self-contained mobile or skid-mounted compression andnitrogen generation systems, rotating control heads to control well pressures while circulating drillingmediums during drilling, skid-mounted separators to separate air from mud, choke manifolds andsolids recovery systems.
‚ Downhole Equipment Ì High temperature motors, wireline steering tools, drill pipe, air rotaryhammer drills, casing exit systems and downhole monitoring equipment.
‚ Fluid Systems Ì Air drilling systems, mist drilling systems, foam drilling systems, including ourpatented Trans-Foam Recyclable Drilling Fluid System, and aerated Öuid drilling systems.
‚ Software/Engineering Ì Engineering and software, including simulation modeling, candidate screen-ing, corrosion mitigation, on-site engineering, data analysis and supervision.
Our principal competition in underbalanced drilling is Precision Drilling.

‚ Packers
‚ Sand Control Systems
‚ Expandable Systems
‚ Flow Control
‚ Liner Hangers
‚ InÖatable Packers
‚ Intelligent Well Technology
Market Trends and Outlook
The market for completion systems is believed to be in excess of $2.5 billion annually. This market iscomposed of various products and services, and we believe we have one of the most comprehensive oÅerings inthis market segment. The completion market is heavily dependent on the North American and internationalrig counts. During 2000, the demand for completion products improved with drilling activity. In particular,increasing activity in international markets and oÅshore zones has led to improving demand for the highermargin premium completion products. During the year we also continued to build this division's infrastructure,adding manufacturing capacity as well as service facilities and skilled personnel.
Although demand improved steadily during 2000, there was little price movement, except for premiumproduct lines. Early in 2001, pricing began to improve reÖecting tightening supply-demand fundamentals.
During 2000, this division integrated several key acquisitions made in late 1999. These acquisitionsincluded Petroline Wellsystems and Cardium Tool Services and signiÑcantly improved the breadth of ourproduct oÅerings. They also increased our manufacturing capabilities and presence in global oil and gasmarkets. In addition, the Petroline Expandable Sand Screen (ESS») product line, which oÅers signiÑcantproduction and cost beneÑts to producers, helped raise the division's proÑle among its customers.
We currently expect that the demand for our completion products will increase steadily during 2001 asdrilling activity increases worldwide. In particular, demand for our growing line of expandable products andservices is expected to increase. As a result, we expect that sales in our Completion Systems Division will growsigniÑcantly during the year with the level of growth to be dependent on the speed and depth of the recovery inthe industry.
Growth Strategy
The growth strategy for our Completion Systems Division is to:
‚ Build an integrated and full completion package through selective acquisitions and internal productdevelopment.

Products and Services OÅered
Packers
Packers are mechanical or hydraulically-actuated devices that lock into the casing string and provide aseal between the casing and tubing in the well through an expanding element system. Packers permitproducing formations to be isolated from other sections of the wellbore as well as allow downhole operations,such as cementing and acidizing, to take place without damaging the reservoir.
Sand Control Systems
Specialized products are required for the control of sand in unconsolidated formations. Sand productionoften results in premature failure of artiÑcial lift and other downhole and surface equipment and can obstructthe Öow of oil and gas. Our sand control products consist of:
‚ Expandable tubular products utilizing revolutionary expandable slotted tubing technology. Oneproduct, our Expandable Sand Screen (ESS»), eliminates the problems of gravel packing, therebyreducing well costs, enhancing production and reducing erosion.
‚ Sand screens that are installed in the producing section of a well to prevent sand from reaching thesurface or causing problems with production equipment and pumps.
Expandable Systems
In addition to our ESS» product line for sand control utilizing expandable slotted tubing technology, wedeveloped new expandable technology during 2000 that has applications for solid pipe, including casing andliners, and the well construction segment of our industry. Our expandable systems include our rotaryexpansion systems which are based on positive displacement motor technology and can be deployed with drillpipe or coiled tubing. The fully patented rotary system overcomes stress limitations inherent in Ñxed coneexpansion techniques. Initial commercialization testing began in the second half of 2000.
Flow Control
Flow control systems include completion and intervention equipment that allows for life of wellproduction management. Our Öow control systems include:
‚ Standard and advanced Öow control products such as nipples, sleeves, running and pulling tools, plugs,valves and rolling systems.
‚ Comprehensive engineering, design and installation capabilities.
Liner Hangers
Liner hangers allow strings of casing to be suspended within a wellbore without having to extend thestring to the surface and are used to isolate production zones and formations. Most directional wells includeone or more liners because of the diÇculty of designing casing programs compatible with high tensile tubulars.We oÅer both drilling and production liner hangers. Drilling liners are used to isolate areas within the wellduring drilling operations. Production liners are used in the producing area of the well to support the wellboreand to isolate various sections of the well. We also oÅer expandable slotted liners that are designed to reducecost and improve production.
InÖatable Packers
These products are used in open cased hole applications for zonal isolation in drilling, completion orremedial applications. Our product line includes annulus casing packers, inÖatable production packers andinÖatable straddle packer assemblies. We also oÅer specialized high pressure, high temperature, highperformance inÖatable thru-tubing and completion packers.

Intelligent Well Technology
Intelligent completion products allow operators to remotely monitor and control various downholecomponents, such as chokes and pumps. These products, when combined with production packers, permitvarious sections of a well to be optimized to improve production. These devices can also eliminate the need forwireline and coiled tubing because they can be operated electrically from the surface.
Backlog
The sales backlog for our completion products was $41.5 million as of February 2001, all of which isexpected to be shipped during 2001. There was no backlog as of the comparable period in the prior year.
Competition
Our principal competitors are Baker Hughes, Halliburton and Schlumberger. We also compete withvarious smaller providers of completion equipment. We believe that we are the third largest provider ofcompletion equipment in the United States and the leading provider of liner hanger equipment and Öowcontrol products in the North Sea market.
Raw Materials
Our Completion Systems Division purchases a wide variety of materials used in our manufacturingfacilities from a number of sources. We do not believe that the loss of any one supplier would have a materialadverse eÅect on this division.
Patents
Many of our completion products are patented or proprietary. Our expandable slotted tubular productsare sold pursuant to a license from Shell Research Limited with respect to certain aspects of the technology.
ArtiÑcial Lift Systems
Our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division is a leading provider of artiÑcial lift systems worldwide and is theonly provider of all forms of lift. ArtiÑcial lift systems are installed in oil wells that do not have suÇcientreservoir pressure to raise the oil to the surface or that need to supplement the natural reservoir drive inproducing oil from the well. We estimate that more than three-quarters of the world's producing oil wellsrequire some form of artiÑcial lift. In North America, the number of producing oil wells requiring lift is closerto 90% and outside of North America the number is approximately 70%. We believe the worldwide market forartiÑcial lift to be in excess of $1.5 billion per year, most of which has historically been in North America dueto the maturity of the North American oil Ñelds.
There are six principal types of artiÑcial lift technologies used in the industry. We oÅer each of them aswell as well optimization services. These forms of artiÑcial lift are:
‚ Progressing Cavity Pumps
‚ Reciprocating Rod Lift Systems
‚ Gas Lift Systems
‚ Electrical Submersible Pumps
‚ Hydraulic Lift Systems
‚ Other Lift Systems
Market Trends and Outlook
Our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division beneÑted in 2000 from improving activity levels primarily in theUnited States, Canada and in certain international markets. The international growth is due in part to the fact
10
Brought to you by Global Reports
that since the merger of EVI and Weatherford Enterra in 1998, we have aggressively marketed our artiÑciallift systems worldwide through our international distribution and service locations. During 2000, we hadsuccess growing our international business primarily in Latin America and Asia PaciÑc.
In North America, demand for artiÑcial lift systems, particularly progressing cavity pumps, increaseddespite a recovery in the oil segment of the industry that was limited by favorable gas fundamentals. InCanada, we actively pursued and were awarded steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) projects in heavy oilmarkets that required high temperature progressing cavity pumps. We expect the SAGD market to continueto be a signiÑcant market in Canada in the coming years. In the United States, we have been successfulmarketing and selling our pumping products for coalbed methane projects requiring dewatering of wells. Weexpect that international demand for our artiÑcial lift products will continue to increase as the rest of theworld's oilÑelds mature. As the only fully integrated provider of these systems, we expect to beneÑt from thebreadth of our product line and expertise.
Pricing increases were implemented during the year. A 3% increase was implemented in the fourthquarter which should beneÑt our performance during 2001. Additional increases will be put in place as marketconditions improve.
We also expanded our production optimization, or intelligent lift, oÅering worldwide during 2000. Thisproduct oÅering addresses our clients' needs for better planning of their production systems. In 1999, weimplemented our Ñrst package for production in Venezuela that transmits real time data from the well to theoperator's oÇce for continuous monitoring. Today, the complete optimization system allows desktopmonitoring of reservoir production and equipment performance as well as the ability to remotely adjustproduction and systems operation. A fully implemented system provides customers with potential beneÑts thatinclude improved production and lower operating and maintenance costs.
This division is also working with our Completion Systems Division on the use of its intelligentcompletion and monitoring technology to optimize the production process and reduce the cost of production.
Growth Strategy
The growth strategy for our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division is to:
‚ Invest in and provide technological solutions for artiÑcial lift needs, including high temperatureprogressing cavity pumps.
‚ Provide our customers with technologies that increase run times, decrease costs and eÅectively deliveroil production at a given depth, temperature and level of corrosion.
‚ Provide integrated solution packages to our customers to address all of their artiÑcial lift needs.
‚ Continue our international expansion by leveraging our international infrastructure.
‚ Reduce sales costs for lower margin products through the Internet and E-commerce sales.
‚ Reposition and consolidate our manufacturing and distribution organization to address the changingmarketplace, particularly in North America.
‚ Position our business for the return cycle in oil production and take advantage of the continuedmaturation of the world's oilÑelds.
Products and Services OÅered
Progressing Cavity Pumps
A progressing cavity pump is a downhole pump that is controlled by an above-ground electric systemconnected to a sucker rod that operates the downhole pump for the production of oil. These pumps are amongthe most eÇcient to operate and are designed to work in wells of depths up to 6,000 feet and productionbetween 10 to 4,500 barrels of oil per day. We are also developing high temperature progressing cavity pumpsfor SAGD applications. We believe that we are the world's largest provider of progressing cavity pumps and
11
Brought to you by Global Reports
the only fully integrated provider of these systems. Our principal competitors for progressing cavity pumps areRobbins & Myers, Mono and KUDU.
Reciprocating Rod Lift Systems
A reciprocating rod lift system is an artiÑcial lift pumping system that uses an above-ground pumpingunit connected to a sucker rod and a downhole pump. It uses an up and down suction process to lift the oilfrom the reservoir. Reciprocating lift is used primarily for the production of oil from wells of depths up to14,000 feet and production rates from 20 to 8,000 barrels per day. Reciprocating lift systems are generallymore expensive to install than other systems but less costly to operate. We oÅer a complete package ofproducts for rod lift applications ranging from traditional pump jacks to the state-of-the-art RotaFlex» longstroke pumping unit, as well as all downhole components, including the Corod» continuous sucker rod,traditional sucker rods and tubing anchors. We believe we are the world's largest provider of reciprocating rodlift pump systems and the only fully integrated provider of these systems. Our principal competitors for rod liftsystems are Lufkin Industries, Dover Industries and Harbinson Fischer.
Gas Lift Systems
Gas lift is a form of artiÑcial lift that uses natural gas to lift oil in a producing reservoir to the surface. Theprocess of gas lift involves the injection of natural gas into the well through an above-ground injection systemand a series of downhole mandrels and gas lift valves. The gas that is injected into the system is eitherproduced from and reinjected into the well, or is injected from gas produced from nearby wells. The injectedgas acts as the lifting agent for the heavier oil. Gas lift systems are used primarily for oÅshore wells and thosewells that have a high component of gas in the well or have a gas supply near the well. Gas lift systems aredesigned to operate at a depth of up to 15,000 feet with volumes of up to 20,000 barrels of oil per day. Webelieve that we are one of the two largest providers of gas lift systems in the world, with our principalcompetitor being Schlumberger.
Electrical Submersible Pumps
An electrical submersible pump is an electric pump and motor that is placed downhole near theproducing reservoir and is driven by an electric motor controller and supply system above ground. Electricalsubmersible pumps are designed to operate at depths of 9,000 to 12,000 feet with volumes of 800 to 20,000barrels per day. We have historically not been a provider of electrical submersible pumps to the industry. In1999, we entered into an alliance with Electrical Submersible Pumps, the world's third largest supplier of thistype of pump, to receive a supply of electrical submersible pumps and to distribute in selected markets. Webelieve that this alliance is highly beneÑcial to both our customers and the customers of ElectricalSubmersible Pumps. Our principal competitors for electrical submersible pumps are Baker Hughes, Schlum-berger and Electrical Submersible Pumps.
Hydraulic Lift Systems
Hydraulic lift is a form of oil pumping system that uses an above-ground surface power unit to operate adownhole hydraulic pump (jet or piston) to lift oil from the reservoir. These systems are designed for wells atdepths of up to 20,000 feet with volumes of up to 15,000 barrels per day. Hydraulic pumps are well-suited forwells with high volumes and low solids. We believe that we are the world's largest provider of hydraulic liftsystems. Our principal competitor for hydraulic lift systems is Baker Hughes.
Other Lift Systems
We also oÅer a new form of lift that we call ""plunger lift.'' Plunger lift is the only artiÑcial lift system thatrequires no assistance from outside energy sources. The typical system consists of a plunger (or piston), topand bottom bumper springs, a lubricator and a surface controller. The plunger cycles between the top andbottom bumper springs. As it travels to the surface, it creates a solid interface between the lifted gas below and
12
Brought to you by Global Reports
produced Öuid above to maximize lift energy. The travel cycle is controlled by a surface controller. Plunger liftis a low cost, easily maintained method of lift. It is particularly useful for dewatering gas wells and increasingwells with emulsion problems. Plunger lift also keeps wells free of paraÇn and other tubing deposit problemsand can be used to produce a well to depletion.
Well Optimization and Remote Monitoring and Control
Our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division was one of the Ñrst organizations to provide complete artiÑcial liftwell automation and optimization services and products. These services include Ñeld management andproducts that allow the customer to remotely monitor and control wells from a central location. As part of thisservice we recently entered into a long-term alliance arrangement with an existing supplier where we willjointly develop software and products for all of the forms of artiÑcial lift we oÅer to maximize production. Thissoftware will also allow the customer to utilize the Internet and the customer's own personal computer toaccess, monitor and control production. We believe that this product oÅering will beneÑt the customer withsubstantial cost savings while improving returns.
Raw Materials
Our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division purchases a variety of raw materials for its manufacturing operations.A number of its products are manufactured utilizing parts and components made by other manufacturers andsuppliers. This division is not dependent upon any single source of supply for its raw materials andcomponents. The loss of one or more of our suppliers could, however, disrupt production for some time.
Compression Services
In February 2001, we completed the merger of essentially all of our Compression Services Division into asubsidiary of Universal Compression Holdings, Inc. in exchange for 13.75 million shares of Universal commonstock, representing approximately 48% of Universal's total outstanding shares. Our Compression ServicesDivision was operated as a joint venture between us and GE Capital. We owned 64% of the venture and GECapital owned 36%. Concurrent with the merger, we completed the acquisition of GE Capital's 36% interest.We retained part of the Compression Services Division, namely the Singapore-based Gas Services Interna-tional operations, and $10.0 million in accounts receivable.
Prior to the Universal merger, our Compression Services Division was one of the world's largest providersof natural gas compression products and services. This division oÅered the following products and services:
‚ Rental, packaging and sales of natural gas compressors
‚ Custom-designed compression systems
‚ Full service turnkey compression management
‚ Maintenance and reconditioning services and select services such as repair services
‚ OÅshore platform installation and management of compression equipment

Other Business Data
Patents
Many areas of our business rely on patents and proprietary technology. We currently have more than1,200 issued and pending patents from continuing operations. Many of our patents provide us with competitiveadvantages in our markets. Although we consider our patents and our patent protection to be an important partof our business, we do not believe that the loss of one or more of our patents would have a material adverseeÅect on our business.
Insurance
We currently carry a variety of insurance for our operations. We are partially self-insured for certainclaims in amounts that we believe to be customary and reasonable. We also maintain political risk insurance toinsure against certain risks while doing business in foreign countries.
Although we believe that we currently maintain insurance coverage that is adequate for the risks involved,there is always a risk that our insurance may not be suÇcient to cover any particular loss or that our insurancemay not cover all losses. For example, while we maintain product liability insurance, this type of insurance islimited in coverage, and it is possible that an adverse claim could arise that is in excess of our coverage.Finally, insurance rates have in the past been subject to wide Öuctuation, and changes in coverage could resultin increases in our cost or higher deductibles and retentions.
Federal Regulations and Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the energy industryin general and the environment in particular. Environmental laws have in recent years become more stringentand have generally sought to impose greater liability on a larger number of potentially responsible parties.While we are not currently aware of any situation involving an environmental claim that would likely have amaterial adverse eÅect on our business, it is always possible that an environmental claim with respect to one ormore of our current businesses or a business or property that one of our predecessors owned or used could arisethat could have a material adverse eÅect.
Two of our subsidiaries have been named by the Environmental Protection Agency (""EPA'') as partiesto the Casmalia, California landÑll Superfund site. We legally transported certain waste materials to this sitebetween 1980 and 1985. In 1985, after we had ceased transporting materials to the landÑll, the EPA declaredthe landÑll a Superfund site. We have agreed to participate in a settlement for both subsidiaries. We have paidapproximately $21,500 to resolve potential liability for one subsidiary. We have agreed to settle liability for theother subsidiary as well and the EPA has assessed us with a settlement amount of $290,000. However, wedispute the EPA's settlement calculations due to the inclusion of unrelated third-party amounts andduplicative amounts. We have requested that the EPA recalculate the proposed settlement amount.
In late 2000, we were named by the EPA as a party to the Stoller Chemical Company Superfund Site inPelham, Georgia. This matter is in a very preliminary stage, however, based on the information provided bythe EPA to date, it appears that we will be a de minimus party.
Our expenditures during 2000 to comply with environmental laws and regulations were not material andwe currently expect that the cost of compliance with environmental laws and regulations for 2001 also will notbe material.

Employees
As of December 31, 2000, we employed approximately 11,900 employees, including approximately 1,300employees of Compression Services. Certain of our operations are subject to union contracts. These contracts,however, cover only a small number of our employees. We believe that our relationship with our employees isgenerally satisfactory.
Corporate History
We are a Delaware corporation that was organized in 1972. Many of our businesses, including those ofWeatherford Enterra, have been conducted for more than 50 years.
Principal Executive OÇces
Our principal executive oÇces are located at 515 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77027. Ourtelephone number is (713) 693-4000 and our Internet address is www.weatherford.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report, as well as other Ñlings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and ourreleases issued to the public contain various statements relating to future results, including certain projectionsand business trends. We believe these statements constitute ""Forward-Looking Statements'' as deÑned in thePrivate Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
From time to time we update the various factors that are considered by us in making our forward-lookingstatements and the assumptions used by us in those statements. The following sets forth an update of thevarious assumptions used by us in our forward-looking statements as well as risks and uncertainties relating tothose statements.
Certain risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to be materially diÅerent from projected resultscontained in forward-looking statements in this report and in our other disclosures. These risks anduncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in ""Risk Factors'' below and the following:
A Downturn in Market Conditions Could AÅect Projected Results. Any unexpected material changes inoil and gas prices or other market trends would likely aÅect the forward-looking information provided by us.The oil and gas industry is extremely volatile and subject to change based on political and economic factorsoutside our control.
Our estimates of future results and industry trends are based on assumptions regarding the future pricesof oil and gas, the North American and international rig counts and their eÅect on the demand and pricing ofour products and services. In analyzing the market and its impact on us for 2001, we have made the followingassumptions:
‚ Oil prices will average over $25 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate crude.
‚ Average natural gas prices will exceed $4.00 per mcf.
‚ World demand for oil will be up only slightly.
‚ There will not be any material decline in world demand for oil or North American demand for naturalgas.
‚ Pricing will continue to be subject to market conditions and competitive pricing pressures in certainmarkets and with respect to certain product lines.
‚ We will be able to improve our margins through price increases and such price increases will more thanoÅset wage and other cost increases.
These assumptions are based on various macroeconomic factors, and actual market conditions could varymaterially from those assumed.

Brought to you by Global Reports
A Future Reduction in the Rig Count Could Adversely AÅect the Demand for Our Products and Services.A decline in the North American and international rig counts would adversely aÅect our results. Our forward-looking statements regarding our drilling products assume an improvement in the rig count in 2001 and thatthere will not be any material declines in the worldwide rig count, in particular the domestic rig count. Ourstatements also assume a continued increase in the international markets during 2001.
Our Manufacturing Improvements. We have recently taken steps to increase our manufacturingcapacity and reduce manufacturing costs in our European completion operations through the consolidation offacilities and additions of equipment. These activities are still ongoing. We were adversely aÅected by therelocation of manufacturing operations in our Completion Systems Division in the second quarter of 2000. Ourforward-looking statements assume that the manufacturing expansion and consolidation will be completedwithout any further material disruptions. If there are any additional disruptions or excess costs associated withthe manufacturing changes, the results of our Completion Systems Division could be adversely aÅected.
Our Capacity Constraints. Our forward-looking information assumes that we will have suÇcientmanufacturing capacity and personnel to address the demand increases that we expect, as noted above. To theextent there are limitations on capacity or personnel in areas in which the markets are improving, our growthcould be limited or our costs increased due to the need to meet demand through outside sources.
Our Integration of Acquisitions. During 1999 and 2000, we consummated, or agreed to consummate,various acquisitions of product lines and businesses. The success of these acquisitions will be dependent on ourability to integrate these product lines and businesses with our existing businesses and to eliminate duplicativecosts. We incur various duplicative costs during the integration of the operations of acquired businesses intoour businesses. Our forward-looking statements assume the successful integration of the operations of theacquired businesses and their contribution to our income during 2001. We have also assumed that ourcompression business will be successfully consolidated with Universal's and the estimated $20 million in costsavings and other synergies will be realized in 2001. Integration of acquisitions is something that cannot occurin the short term and that requires constant eÅort at the local level to be successful. Accordingly, there can beno assurance as to the ultimate success of these integration eÅorts.
Our Technological Advances. Our ability to succeed with our long-term growth strategy is dependent inpart on the technological competitiveness of our products and services. A central aspect of our growth strategyis to enhance the technology of our products and services, to expand the markets for many of our productsthrough the leverage of our worldwide infrastructure and to enter new markets and expand in existing marketswith technologically advanced value-added products. These technological advances include our underbalanceddrilling technology, our expandable sand screen technology, our rotary expansion systems and our recentlyadded multilateral technology. Our forward-looking statements have assumed above average growth fromthese new products and services in 2001.
Economic Downturn Could Adversely AÅect Demand for Products and Services. Although the economyin the United States has experienced one of its longest periods of growth in recent history, the continuedstrength of the United States economy cannot be assured. In fact, the United States and many foreigneconomies have recently experienced a slowdown in growth. If the United States or European economies wereto continue to decline or if the economies of South America or Asia were not to continue their recovery, theresulting demand and price for oil and gas and our products and services could adversely aÅect our revenuesand income. We have assumed that a worldwide recession or a material downturn in the United States orEuropean economies will not occur.
Currency Fluctuations Could Have a Material Adverse Financial Impact. A material decline incurrency rates in our markets could aÅect our future results as well as aÅect the carrying values of our assets.World currencies have been subject to much volatility. Our forward-looking statements assume no materialimpact from changes in currencies.
Changes in Global Trade Policies Could Adversely Impact Operations. Changes in global trade policiesin our markets could impact our operations in these markets. We have assumed that there will be no materialchanges in global trading policies.

Unexpected Litigation and Legal Disputes Could Have a Material Adverse Financial Impact. If weexperience unexpected litigation or unexpected results in our existing litigation having a material eÅect onresults, the accuracy of the forward-looking statements would be aÅected. Our forward-looking statementsassume that there will be no such unexpected litigation or results.
Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but notlimited to, those detailed in our other Ñlings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For additionalinformation regarding risks and uncertainties, see our other current year Ñlings with the Securities andExchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Securities Act of1933, as amended. We will generally update our assumptions in our Ñlings, as circumstances require.
Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves various risks. When considering an investment in ourcompany, you should consider carefully all of the risk factors described below, as well as the other informationincluded and incorporated by reference in this report.
Customer Credit Risks. The majority of our customers are engaged in the energy industry. Thisconcentration of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, inthat customers may be similarly aÅected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We performongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our tradereceivables. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and generally, actual losses have historically beenwithin our expectations.
Disruptions in Foreign Operations Could Adversely AÅect Our Income. Like most multinational oilÑeldservice companies, we have operations in certain international areas, including parts of the Middle East, Northand West Africa, Latin America, the Asia-PaciÑc region and the Commonwealth of Independent States, thatare inherently subject to risks of war, political disruption, civil disturbance and policies that may:
‚ Disrupt oil and gas exploration and production activities
‚ Restrict the movement of funds
‚ Lead to U.S. government or international sanctions
‚ Limit access to markets for periods of time
Our Products and Services are Subject to Operational, Litigation and Environmental Risks. Ourproducts are used for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. These operations are subject tohazards inherent in the oil and gas industry that can cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to ordestruction of property, equipment, the environment and marine life, and suspension of operations. Thesehazards include Ñres, explosions, craterings, blowouts and oil spills. Litigation arising from an accident at alocation where our products or services are used or provided may result in our being named as a defendant inlawsuits asserting potentially large claims.
In the ordinary course of business, we become the subject of various claims and litigation. We maintaininsurance to cover many of our potential losses and we are subject to various self-retentions and deductibleswith respect to our insurance. Although we are subject to various ongoing items of litigation, we do not believethat any of the items of litigation that we are currently subject to will result in any material uninsured losses tous. It is, however, possible that an unexpected judgement could be rendered against us in cases in which wecould be uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or anticipate incurring for thatmatter.
We are also subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the energy industryin general and the environment in particular. Environmental laws have in recent years become more stringentand have generally sought to impose greater liability on a larger number of potentially responsible parties.While we are not currently aware of any situation involving an environmental claim which would be likely tohave a material adverse eÅect on our business, it is always possible that an environmental claim with respect to
18

one or more of our current businesses or a business or property that one of our predecessors owned could arisethat could involve the expenditure of a material amount of funds.
Currency Devaluation and Fluctuation Risks. A single European currency (""the Euro'') was introducedon January 1, 1999, at which time the conversion rates between legacy currencies and the Euro were set for 11participating member countries. However, the legacy currencies in those countries will continue to be used aslegal tender through January 1, 2002. Thereafter, the legacy currencies will be canceled, and the Euro bills andcoins will be used in the 11 participating countries. We are currently evaluating the eÅect of the Euro on ourconsolidated Ñnancial statements and our business operations; however, we do not foresee that the transition tothe Euro will have a signiÑcant impact.
Approximately 45% of our net assets from continuing operations are located outside the United Statesand are carried on our books in local currencies. Changes in those currencies in relation to the U.S. dollarresult in translation adjustments which are reÖected as accumulated other comprehensive loss in thestockholders' equity section on our balance sheet. We are also aÅected by remeasurement and transactionalgains and losses on currencies which are reÖected in our consolidated statements of operations.
Low Prices for Oil Adversely AÅect the Demand for Our Products and Services. Low oil prices adverselyaÅect demand throughout the oil and natural gas industry, including the demand for our products and services.As prices decline, we are aÅected in two signiÑcant ways. First, the funds available to our customers for thepurchase of goods and services decline. Second, exploration and drilling activity declines as marginallyproÑtable projects become uneconomic and either are delayed or eliminated. Accordingly, when oil prices arerelatively low, our revenues and income will be adversely aÅected.
Our Common Stock has Fluctuated Historically. Historically, the market price of common stock ofcompanies engaged in the oil and gas industry has been highly volatile. Likewise, the market price of ourcommon stock has varied signiÑcantly in the past. News announcements and changes in oil and natural gasprices, changes in the demand for oil and natural gas exploration and changes in the supply and demand for oiland natural gas have all been factors that have aÅected the price of our common stock.

It is, however,possible that an unexpected judgement could be rendered against us in the cases in which we are involved thatcould be uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or have anticipated incurring, forthat matter.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Our business is conducted through three business segments: (1) Drilling and Intervention Services,(2) Completion Systems and (3) ArtiÑcial Lift Systems. In addition to these three segments, we historicallyoperated a Compression Services Division and a Drilling Products Division. In February 2001, we completedthe merger of essentially all of our Compression Services Division into a subsidiary of Universal CompressionHoldings, Inc. in exchange for 13.75 million shares of Universal common stock, or an approximate 48%interest in Universal. On April 14, 2000, we distributed to our stockholders all of the outstanding shares ofGrant Prideco, Inc., which held the operating assets used in our Drilling Products Division. As a result of thisdistribution, our Drilling Products Division is presented as discontinued operations in the accompanyingÑnancial statements.
The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the last three years. This discussion should beread in conjunction with our Ñnancial statements that are included with this report. Our discussion includesvarious forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and ourfuture results. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we consider reasonable. Forinformation about these assumptions, you should refer to the section entitled ""Forward-Looking Statements''located within Item 1. Business.

Market Trends and Outlook
Our businesses serve the oil and gas industry. All of our businesses are aÅected by changes in theworldwide demand and price of oil and natural gas. Certain of our products and services, such as our Ñshingand rental services, well installation services and well completion services, are dependent on the level ofexploration and development activity and particularly the completion phase of the well life cycle. Otherproducts and services, such as our artiÑcial lift systems, are dependent on production activity. We currentlyestimate that approximately two-thirds of our continuing operations are reliant on drilling activity, with theremainder focused on production and reservoir enhancement activity.

The oil and gas industry has been subject to extreme volatility in recent years due to signiÑcant changes inthe demand, supply and pricing of oil and natural gas. In 1997 through early 1998, we experienced a strongincrease in the demand for our products and services due to a worldwide increase in the demand for oil andshortages of equipment and people to service this demand. Beginning in late 1997, the price of oil began to fall.Initially the eÅects of the decline primarily impacted the North American markets where activity is moresensitive to the price of oil. By late 1998, demand had fallen substantially as our customers' exploration,development and production activities worldwide dropped in reaction to sharply lower oil prices. The reductionin activity continued through most of 1999 as the price of oil hit a low of $11.07 per barrel during the year. TheNorth American and international rig counts reached historical lows of 534 and 556, respectively. During thesecond half of 1999, the price of oil increased sharply due to demand and supply imbalances and the membersof the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries reduced production in compliance with productionquotas. However, the pickup in our customers' activity was not proportional to the increase in the price of oil,as our customers were more cautious in new spending due to the recent volatility of prices. The demand andsupply imbalances resulted in world oil prices increasing to the $24 to $37 a barrel range during 2000, whichcaused us to experience steady improvements in the demand for our products and services.
The timing of the impact of the recovery varies region to region and division to division. The NorthAmerican rig count Öuctuations impact our divisions generally within one quarter. Our international activity,in turn, generally lags North American activity by six to nine months. Our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division,which tracks very closely the United States and Canadian rig counts and the Canadian workover rig count, wasthe Ñrst to beneÑt from the oil price improvements experienced in 1999 as many production projects werereinstated in light of the higher prices of oil, in particular heavy oil in Canada. Our Drilling and InterventionServices Division and our Completion Systems Division were the next to beneÑt from the improved activity in1999 in North America, particularly in our drilling services and equipment rental and cementation businesses.
Increased North American activity continued to beneÑt all of our divisions in 2000 through increasingvolumes and most recently improved pricing for many of our products and services. Outside North America,our strongest growth in 2000 was in Latin America where the rig count increased from 196 last year to 257 onDecember 31, 2000. We also saw improvement in some regions in Africa, while the Middle East and AsiaPaciÑc have been slower to recover.

As we enter 2001, we expect continued improvements due to anticipated market recovery outside NorthAmerica. In general, during 2001 we expect the markets to aÅect our businesses as follows:
Drilling and Intervention Services
This division is expected to see quarter on quarter improvements in 2001 in both revenue and proÑtability.We believe this division should continue to see a strong contribution from the North American market.Although somewhat more diÇcult to predict, we currently expect that the markets in the North Sea and LatinAmerica will experience sales improvements of approximately 15% over the next two quarters through volumeand pricing. To a lesser extent, sales improvements will occur in the Middle East, Africa and Asia PaciÑc.
Completion Systems
Our Completion Systems Division realized its Ñrst operating proÑt in the third quarter of 2000 since thedivision was formed last year. In 2000, we saw this division seek to increase its revenue base and position itselffor growth in 2001 and beyond by expanding its sales and service infrastructure and manufacturing capacityworldwide. We are completing an increase in manufacturing capacity of around 50% over our availablecapacity in 2000 and expect to realize the beneÑts in the second half of 2001. We believe this division willcontinue to experience an increase in proÑtability in 2001. The level of its contribution will be dependent ondrilling activity levels, particularly in the international markets, the division's ability to meet market demandthrough increased manufacturing output, and its ability to successfully market its products such as its patentedexpandable sand screen, its Stratapac» premium screen and its premium liner hangers and packers.
ArtiÑcial Lift Systems
We expect that our ArtiÑcial Lift Systems Division will continue to see revenue improvements on a yearon year basis in North America and Latin America, as well as improvements in margins as a result of costcontainment, higher throughput in our plants and the impact of price increases initiated throughout 2000. Wehave planned additional price increases in the Ñrst quarter of 2001 and expect to see the impact in the secondand third quarters of 2001. The second quarter, however, will be impacted by the seasonal downturn in Canadaand the growth in North America may be somewhat limited by the higher priority our customers are currentlyplacing on natural gas projects over oil projects.
Compression Services
Our Compression Services Division, which is less aÅected by day-to-day market factors, is expected tobeneÑt from the February 2001 merger with Universal. During 2001, we will record a 48% interest inUniversal's results of operations.
Overall, the level of market improvements for our businesses in 2001 will continue to be heavilydependent on the continued recovery in the North American markets and the timing and strength of therecovery outside North America. Each of our divisions will be aÅected by the seasonal downturn experiencedeach year in Canada, normally during the second quarter. Although we believe that the activity levels in ourindustry, particularly in the international markets, are in the early stages of recovery, the extent of the recoveryis diÇcult to predict in light of the volatile nature of our business. In addition, the continued strength of theindustry is uncertain and will be highly dependent on many external factors, such as world economicconditions, compliance with Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries quotas and weather conditions.The extreme volatility of our markets makes predictions regarding future results diÇcult.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended 2000, 1999 and 1998
The business environment in which we operated during 2000, 1999, and 1998 saw extreme changes. Weexperienced a material slow-down in the market beginning near the middle of 1998. By the end of 1998, ourindustry was in the midst of one of the worst downturns in its history. This downturn continued throughoutmost of 1999. Oil prices improved during the second half of 1999 and through 2000. Our North Americanmarkets started showing signs of improvement in the latter half of 1999. This growth continued throughout

Our results from continuing operations for 2000 as compared to 1999 were also aÅected by the followingspeciÑc items:
‚ Revenues increased $574.1 million, or 46.3%, from 1999 levels due to increased volume throughout2000 and improved pricing in late 2000. International revenues increased 45.5% from 1999 to$612.3 million as compared to an increase in the average international rig count of 8.6%. NorthAmerican revenues increased $382.4 million, or 46.7%, as compared to an increase in the averageNorth American rig count of 44.7%.
‚ Revenues in 2000 were positively impacted by the full year of revenues related to our third quarter1999 acquisitions of Petroline Wellsystems, Dailey International and Williams Tool.
‚ Gross proÑt percentage increased from 28.3% in 1999 to 30.5% in 2000 primarily due to volume andpricing gains within our Drilling and Intervention Services Division and Completion Systems Division.
‚ Selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the segments decreased as a percentage ofrevenue from 21.1% in 1999 to 18.9% in 2000. This decrease is primarily attributable to a higher revenuebase, as well as the full integration of our 1999 acquisitions into our business. These benefits werepartially offset by goodwill amortization of $37.1 million in 2000 as compared to $24.0 million in 1999.
‚ Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $11.0 million from 1999; however, itremained relatively Öat as a percentage of revenue on a year on year basis.
‚ Operating income increased from $66.8 million in 1999 to $176.6 million, excluding impairmentcharges in 2000. This increase resulted from improved market conditions and our eÅorts to reduce costsand improve eÇciencies during the industry downturn. The acquisitions made by us late in the thirdquarter of 1999 also contributed to the increase in operating income.
‚ Our 2000 tax provision includes $76.5 million of deferred taxes related to the anticipated exchange of aconsolidated subsidiary for an equity method investment in connection with the Universal merger.Excluding this $76.5 million provision and the tax eÅect of the impairment charge, our eÅective taxrate on income from continuing operations for 2000 was approximately 36.3% as compared to 29.9% for1999. The increase in our eÅective rate is primarily a result of a decrease in foreign tax beneÑts.
Universal Compression Transaction
On October 24, 2000, we announced the merger of essentially all of our Compression Services Divisioninto a subsidiary of Universal in exchange for 13.75 million shares of Universal common stock, whichapproximates 48% of Universal's outstanding shares. The transaction was completed on February 9, 2001.Concurrent with the transaction, we paid GE Capital $206.5 million for its 36% ownership in the joint venturein which our Compression Services Division operated. We retained part of the Compression Services Division,namely Singapore-based Gas Services International operations, and $10.0 million in accounts receivable.
In connection with this transaction, we recorded impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2000 of$56.3 million, $43.0 million after taxes, and provided for deferred taxes of $76.5 million due to the anticipatedexchange of a consolidated subsidiary for an equity method investment.
The pre-tax impairment charge of $56.3 million reÖects the diÅerence between estimated fair value of netassets held for sale, which were determined using quoted market prices and estimated selling prices lessestimated costs to sell, and the net book value of the Compression Services Division assets. The carrying valueof the Compression Services Division's net assets as of December 31, 2000 was $439.3 million.
In connection with the merger with Universal, we entered into a Voting Agreement with Universalpursuant to which we have agreed to certain voting limitations with respect to shares of our Universal commonstock. For a period of no more than two years, we have agreed to vote our shares of Universal common stockthat are in excess of 33∏% of Universal's outstanding shares in the same proportion as the shares of Universalcommon stock held by the public (excluding our shares and shares held by Castle Harlan and his aÇliates).We may vote the remainder of our shares in our sole discretion. We also entered into a Registration RightsAgreement, pursuant to which we were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights for ourshares of Universal common stock. Additionally, we entered into a Transitional Services Agreement with
25

Universal to provide certain corporate and administrative services to the Compression Services Division for afee and reimbursement of costs and expenses for up to 120 days following the merger. Pursuant to the terms ofthe merger agreement, we also appointed three members to Universal's Board of Directors. As long as we ownat least 20% of Universal's outstanding common stock, we have the right to designate three Board members. Ifownership interest falls below 20%, we may designate only two directors, and if our ownership falls below 10%we will no longer be entitled to designate directors to serve on Universal's Board of Directors. Upon the closingof the merger, Universal repaid and terminated our sale and leaseback arrangements and the CompressionServices Division's credit facility.
Segment Results
Drilling and Intervention Services
Our Drilling and Intervention Services Division experienced improvements in revenue and operatingincome as the increase in the North American rig count positively impacted the demand for its products andservices. Demand in international markets was at historical lows during 1999. The low demand carried into theÑrst part of 2000, resulting in continued pricing pressures and reduced volumes. The international marketsshowed strong improvements in the second half of 2000, particularly in Latin America and Europe whererevenues increased approximately 47% and 29%, respectively, compared to the Ñrst half of 2000. Our Drillingand Intervention Services Division's revenue and operating income were also positively impacted by its 1999acquisitions, including Dailey International and Williams Tool.

Completion Systems
Our Completion Systems Division has shown steady improvements since its formation in 1999. WesigniÑcantly changed the composition of this division in 1999 through our acquisitions of Petroline Wellsys-tems and Cardium Tool Services. In 2000, we further extended our oÅerings with our acquisition of theStratapac» and Stratacoil‚ premium screen product lines. These acquisitions, together with a major expansionof our Nodeco liner hanger product line into the United States in 1999, have expanded our businesses into the

higher margin premium completion markets worldwide and have added sand control and Öow control to ourcompletion product and service oÅerings.
This division's revenues increased throughout 2000. Improved revenues were realized in almost allregions, most notably in North America and Asia PaciÑc. Sales of our expandable sand screens increased34.7% in the second half of 2000 compared to the Ñrst half. This improvement represents the Ñrst stages of topline growth in this product line resulting from our recently added manufacturing capacity.

Compression Services
The Compression Services Division reported revenues of $272.6 million for 2000 compared to $225.9 mil-lion for 1999. Operating income declined from $21.6 million for 1999 to $6.0 million for 2000, excluding theimpairment charge of $16.3 million. The decline in operating income was primarily attributable to lowermargins on rentals, higher costs related to the reorganization of the division in 2000, higher selling, general andadministrative expenses and start-up costs associated with international expansion.
During the latter part of the year, we saw improvement reÖecting the beginning of the recovery in thisdivision following the reorganization that began earlier this year. This division is well positioned for growth inconnection with its merger in February 2001 with Universal.

The following material items aÅected the results of our Compression Services Division:
‚ Revenues in 2000 were up 20.7% from 1999 levels reÖecting $8.0 million in incremental revenues fromour rental contracts with YPF and $36.7 million of incremental revenues from the January 2000acquisition of GSI.
‚ Gross proÑt as a percentage of revenues decreased from 25.5% in 1999 to 18.4% in 2000 due to:
‚ Lower margins on rental contracts due to pricing pressures primarily in the United States.
‚ Higher lease expenses due to an increased number of compressors having been sold and subject tosale and leaseback arrangements described in our Liquidity and Capital Resources section.
‚ Increased lower margin parts and service sales as a percentage of total sales.
‚ Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 16.2% in 2000 from15.9% in 1999 primarily as a result of costs related to the reorganization of this division and$1.3 million goodwill amortization associated with new foreign operations.

Our results from continuing operations for 1999 and 1998 were aÅected by the following speciÑc items:
‚ Revenues declined $123.6 million, or 9.1%, from 1998 levels. International revenues decreased 15.2%from 1998 to $420.7 million as compared to a decline in the average international rig count of 21.7%.North American revenues declined $48.0 million, or 5.5%, as compared to a decline in the averageNorth American rig count of 20.4%.
‚ Revenues were positively impacted by the 1999 acquisitions of Petroline Wellsystems, DaileyInternational and Williams Tool, which contributed a combined $44.5 million in revenues, primarily inthe fourth quarter of 1999.
‚ Gross proÑt percentage, before charges of $22.4 million in 1998, decreased from 32.4% in 1998 to28.3% in 1999 primarily due to lower pricing and the under-utilization of many of our manufacturingfacilities and our service organization during a period of low activity levels.
‚ Results for 1998 include $160.0 million in pre-tax merger and other charges for the merger betweenEVI and Weatherford Enterra and charges associated with the downturn in our industry.
‚ Selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the segments increased as a percent ofrevenue due primarily to a lower revenue base and startup costs for new product lines and businesses,costs associated with the integration and introduction of newly acquired businesses and a $8.9 millionincrease in goodwill amortization.
‚ Operating income decreased from $196.2 million in 1998, before merger and other charges of$160.0 million, to $66.8 million in 1999. This decrease resulted from pricing pressures and manufactur-ing and operational ineÇciencies associated with the decline in activity. Although we sought to reduceour costs through reductions in headcount and locations during the industry downturn, we elected tomaintain our market position and international infrastructure in order to be prepared to capitalize onthe market recovery.
‚ Our eÅective tax rate on income from continuing operations for 1999 was approximately 29.9% ascompared to 87.1% for 1998. The 1998 rate is due in part to the mix of foreign and U.S. tax attributesand the impact of merger and other charges.
1998 Merger and Other Charges
In 1998, we incurred $160.0 million in merger and other charges relating to the merger between EVI andWeatherford Enterra and a reorganization and rationalization of its businesses in light of industry conditions.Of these charges, $113.0 million was incurred in the second quarter at the time of the merger and with theinitial downturn in the industry. A $47.0 million charge was incurred in the fourth quarter in response to thepreviously unanticipated extent of the decline in the industry which resulted in a need to make additional

reductions in operations and align the cost structure with the then current demand. The net after tax eÅect ofthese charges was $104.0 million. The following chart summarizes the special charges made in 1998:

Approximately $136.5 million of these charges had been realized as of December 31, 1998, with theremainder of the charges fully realized by the end of the second quarter of 1999 in connection with plannedactivities. During 1999, no adjustments or reversals to the remaining accrued special charges were necessary.
(1) The merger transaction costs were incurred in the second quarter of 1998 and included $32.6 million inseverance and termination costs related to approximately 300 employees and former oÇcers anddirectors, and other employee beneÑts related to stock grants, in accordance with Weatherford Enterra'semployment agreements and stock option plans, and $29.9 million in professional and Ñnancial advisoryfees, Ñling and registration fees and printing and mailing costs.
(2) The severance and related costs included in the 1998 fourth quarter charges were $7.6 million forapproximately 940 employees speciÑcally identiÑed, with terminations completed in the Ñrst half of 1999,in accordance with our announced plan to terminate employees.
(3) The facility and plant closures costs were $10.0 million in the second quarter of 1998, all of which wereincurred by December 31, 1998. These costs related primarily to the elimination of duplicatedmanufacturing, distribution and service locations following the merger in May 1998. The facility andplant closures of $12.8 million were accrued in the fourth quarter of 1998 for the consolidation andclosure of approximately 100 service, manufacturing and administrative facilities in response to decliningmarket conditions in the fourth quarter. Such facilities were closed by June 30, 1999.
(4) The corporate related expenses of $5.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 1998 and $3.1 millionrecorded in the fourth quarter of 1998 were primarily for the consolidation of corporate oÇces, relatedlease obligations and the consolidation of technology centers due to the merger and to align our corporatecost structure in light of the industry conditions.
(5) The write-oÅ of inventory was $9.9 million in the second quarter of 1998 and $12.5 million in the fourthquarter of 1998, which were reported as cost of products. These charges relate to the write-oÅ ofinventory as a result of the combination of EVI's and Weatherford Enterra's operations, the rationaliza-tion of their product lines, the elimination of certain products, services and locations due to the mergerand as a result of the decline in market conditions.
(6) The write-down of assets was $24.7 million in the second quarter of 1998 and $11.8 million in the fourthquarter of 1998. These charges primarily relate to the write-down of equipment and other assets as aresult of the combination of EVI's and Weatherford Enterra's operations, the rationalization of theirproduct lines, the elimination of certain products, services and locations due to the merger, and thespeciÑc identiÑcation of assets held for sale as a result of the decline in market conditions.

The following material items aÅected the results of our Drilling and Intervention Services Division:
‚ Revenues declined 23.5% from 1998 excluding the impact of 1999 acquisitions, which contributed$34.2 million in revenues. Revenues in North America decreased 18.2% while the average NorthAmerican rig count decreased 20.4% year over year. International revenues decreased 19.5%, while theaverage international rig count decreased 21.7%. The largest decreases in international revenuesoccurred in Europe, Africa and Asia PaciÑc.
‚ Gross proÑt percentage declined due primarily to pricing pressures, especially in the higher margininternational markets.
‚ Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues from 9.8% in 1998to 16.3% in 1999. The increase primarily reÖects a lower revenue base, initial costs relating to newproduct lines and businesses, costs associated with the integration and introduction of newly acquiredbusinesses and a $5.3 million increase in goodwill and intangible amortization. Selling, general andadministrative costs included higher costs associated with Dailey International and Williams Tool,which had historically high selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues.Because these businesses were acquired during the latter half of 1999, we were not able to achieve fullcost savings from their integration in 1999.
‚ Operating income, excluding $40.8 million in merger and other charges, declined from $181.7 millionin 1998 to $76.3 million in 1999. This decline resulted from reduced sales volume, pricing pressures,higher selling, general and administrative costs associated with acquisitions pending their integrationand the maintenance of our worldwide infrastructure during a period of low activity.

‚ Gross proÑt as a percentage of revenues increased from 23.7% in 1998 to 25.5% in 1999. This increasereÖected a more favorable product mix following the creation of the joint venture.
‚ Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 15.9% in 1999 from13.2% in 1998 primarily as a result of costs associated with the integration of the businesses acquired inthe joint venture and the costs associated with our international expansion.
‚ Operating income as a percentage of revenues remained Öat year over year as improvements inoperating margins were oÅset by higher administrative costs associated with the integration of theGE Capital businesses when we formed our compression joint venture in February 1999.
Discontinued Operations
Our discontinued operations consist of our Grant Prideco Drilling Products Division. Results fromdiscontinued operations were as follows:
‚ We had a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the period ended April 14, 2000 of$3.5 million. Included in this loss is $1.0 million of estimated transaction costs, net of taxes.
‚ We had a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the year ended December 31, 1999 of$37.1 million. Included in the 1999 loss is $3.6 million, net of taxes, of estimated transaction costswhich were accrued in the third quarter of 1999. Additionally, the loss includes a charge of$6.1 million, net of taxes, directly related to a pending termination of Grant Prideco's existingmanufacturing arrangement in India.
‚ We had income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $65.7 million for the year endedDecember 31, 1998. The results for 1998 include merger and other charges of $35.0 million, composedof $5.1 million for facility closures and exit costs, $0.2 million of severance and related costs,$28.5 million for the write-oÅ of inventory and $1.2 million for the write-down of equipment.

The decline in Grant Prideco's net income from 1998 to 1999 was primarily attributable to the severedownturn in the businesses of Grant Prideco in the latter half of 1998, and the downturn during 1999 was dueto the decline in drilling activity and low oil prices. Material items aÅecting Grant Prideco's results for 1999compared to 1998 follow:
‚ Grant Prideco's revenues decreased due to a more than 60% drop in drill stem sales. Lower premiumtubular and connection sales resulted from reduced oÅshore activity, lower distributor purchases and adecline in tubular processing activity.
‚ Grant Prideco recorded a $9.5 million pre-tax write-down associated with the decision by GrantPrideco to terminate a manufacturing arrangement with Oil Country Tubular Limited (""OCTL'') inIndia. The decision to terminate this manufacturing arrangement was due to a combination of factors,including the downturn in the market and political instability in India.
‚ Grant Prideco's gross proÑt, gross proÑt percentages and operating income all declined in 1999compared to 1998 due to lower sales volume, pricing pressure and high manufacturing and unabsorbedcosts due to plant under-utilization.
‚ In December 1998, Grant Prideco acquired from Tubos de Acero de Mexico, S.A. (TAMSA) 93% ofthe outstanding shares of T.F. de Mexico, which owned the manufacturing facility in Veracruz, Mexicothat Grant Prideco was operating under a capital lease arrangement. As part of the consideration in theacquisition, Grant Prideco sold all of the international rights, excluding Canada, to its Atlas Bradfordtubular connection line for carbon grade tubular to TAMSA through a license arrangement, eÅectiveupon the closing of this transaction. Grant Prideco retained no obligations with respect to thedevelopment, maintenance or improvement of the Atlas Bradford connection line for the internationalmarket, and TAMSA has no obligation to pay any additional consideration for this license. Any futuresupport by Grant Prideco is provided on a fee basis. The rights Grant Prideco sold through this licensearrangement had a fair value of $9.0 million. As a result, in December 1998 Grant Prideco recorded$9.0 million in revenues to recognize the sale of Grant Prideco's international rights to the AtlasBradford connection line.
‚ Grant Prideco's corporate general and administrative expenses in 1999 increased approximately 5%compared to 1998 due to increased management fees from us and higher corporate and overhead costsrelating to the addition of staÅ in anticipation of the spin-oÅ.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current sources of capital are reserves of cash, cash generated from operations and borrowings underbank lines of credit. In June 2000, we completed the private placement of $910.0 million face amount of ourZero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures due 2020. The net proceeds from the placement of approxi-mately $491.9 million were primarily used to repay our short-term indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2000 our cash and cash equivalents were $153.8 million, an increase of $109.4 mil-lion from December 31, 1999, which was primarily attributable to the following:
‚ Net cash inÖow of $144.2 million from continuing operating activities and net cash outÖow of$11.7 million from discontinued operating activities.
‚ Proceeds from the issuance of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures, net of issuance costs, of$491.9 million.
‚ Repayments, net of borrowings, on term debt and short-term facilities for continuing operations of$303.4 million.
‚ Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $33.4 million.
‚ Proceeds from the sale of businesses of $14.1 million.

Banking Facilities and Other Debt
In May 1998, we put in place a Ñve-year unsecured revolving credit facility that allows us to borrow up to$250.0 million at any time. The facility consists of a $200.0 million U.S. credit facility and a $50.0 millionCanadian credit facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a variable rate based on the U.S. primerate or LIBOR. Our weighted average cost of borrowings under this facility for 2000 was 6.09%. Our creditfacility contains customary aÇrmative and negative covenants, including a maximum debt to capitalizationratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a limitation on liens and a limitation on asset dispositions. AtDecember 31, 2000, we had $230.0 million available for borrowing under this credit facility as $20.0 millionwas used to secure outstanding letters of credit. Currently we have $55.1 million available.
We also engage in unsecured short-term borrowings with various institutions pursuant to uncommittedfacilities. At December 31, 2000, we had $12.2 million in unsecured short-term borrowings outstanding underthe uncommitted facilities having a weighted average interest rate of 6.96% per annum.
In July 2000, the Company's Compression Services Division put in place a $25.0 million uncommittedrevolving line of credit. Interest rates are at LIBOR plus 1.75% or the ""Quoted Rate,'' deÑned as any rate ofinterest mutually agreed upon by the two parties. As of December 31, 2000, $12.9 million was outstandingunder this line of credit. Our weighted average cost of borrowings under this facility for 2000 was 8.18%. Thisfacility was terminated in connection with the Universal merger in February 2001.
As of December 31, 2000, we had various other debt outstanding of $28.1 million, primarily related toIndustrial Revenue Bonds and capital leases. We also had various other letters of credit outstanding of$22.2 million at December 31, 2000.
Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures
As noted above, on June 30, 2000 we completed the private placement of $910.0 million face amount ofour Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures. These debentures were issued at $501.6 million providingthe holders with an annual 3% yield to maturity. During 2000, we amortized $7.5 million of the original issuediscount. We received proceeds of $491.9 million, net of debt issuance costs of $9.7 million.
Holders may convert the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures into shares of our common stockat any time before maturity at a conversion rate of 9.9970 shares per $1,000 principal amount at maturity or aninitial conversion price of $55.1425 per share of common stock. The eÅective conversion price will increase asthe accreted value of the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures increases. We may redeem the ZeroCoupon Convertible Senior Debentures on or after June 30, 2005 at the accreted discounted amount at thetime of redemption as provided for in the indenture agreement. The holders also may require us to repurchasethe Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures on June 30, 2005, June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2015 at theaccreted discounted amount at the time of redemption.

Convertible Preferred Debentures
In November 1997, we sold $402.5 million principal amount of our 5% Convertible SubordinatedPreferred Equivalent Debentures due 2027. The Convertible Preferred Debentures bear interest at an annualrate of 5% and are convertible into common stock. The original conversion was at a price of $80 per share;however, under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Debentures, the conversion rate was adjusted to$53.34 per share following our spin-oÅ of Grant Prideco. The adjustment factor for the conversion rate wasbased on the average market price of our common stock on a pre-spin basis and the fair market value of theGrant Prideco common stock distributed.
We have the right to redeem the Convertible Preferred Debentures at any time after November 4, 2000,at redemption prices provided for in the indenture agreement. The Convertible Preferred Debentures aresubordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to the prior payment in full of certain existing andfuture senior indebtedness. We also have the right to defer payments of interest on the Convertible PreferredDebentures by extending the quarterly interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive quarters at any timewhen we are not in default in the payment of interest.
71/4% Senior Notes Due 2006
We have outstanding $200.0 million of publicly traded 71/4% Senior Notes due May 15, 2006. Interest onthe 71/4% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15.
Compression Financing
Our Compression Services Division had entered into various sale and leaseback arrangements where ithad sold compressors having appraised values and received cash of $299.9 million. Under these arrangements,legal title to the compression units are sold to third parties and leased back to the division under a Ñve yearoperating lease with a market-based purchase option. These sales resulted in a pretax deferred gain of$94.6 million, which was deferred until the end of the lease. Upon closing of the transaction with Universal,Universal terminated this sale and leaseback arrangement and we were released from all guarantees.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for our continuing operations for 2000 were$266.6 million and primarily related to rental equipment, Ñshing tools and tubular service equipment andcompressors and related assets. Included within our 2000 capital expenditures was $85.1 million for ourCompression Services Division. Capital expenditures in 2001 are expected to be approximately $200.0 million.
Acquisitions
On August 10, 2000, we acquired Alpine Oil Services Corporation for shares of common stock of one ofour wholly-owned subsidiaries having a value of approximately $54.4 million. Alpine, headquartered inCalgary, Alberta, Canada, is being integrated into our Drilling and Intervention Services Division andCompletion Systems Division. The acquisition extends our underbalanced drilling capabilities worldwide, addsnew completion technology and further expands our oÅerings of products and services in Canada.
We also eÅected various other acquisitions during 2000 for total consideration of $158.0 million.
Some of our acquisitions have resulted in substantial goodwill associated with their operations, includinggoodwill of approximately $168.0 million relating to our acquisitions in 2000. The amortization expense forgoodwill during 2000 was $37.1 million. Our current annual run rate, net of taxes, is $30.7 million.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On February 14, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its tentative decisions on theaccounting for goodwill in an Exposure Draft, Business Combinations and Intangible Assets Ì Accounting forGoodwill. The FASB has tentatively concluded that purchased goodwill should not be amortized; rather, it
37
Brought to you by Global Reports
should be reviewed for impairment. The Ñnal statement is expected to be issued in late June 2001, with aneÅective date of July 1, 2001. While this decision is tentative, should it become Ñnal in its current form, theadoption of this standard's requirements to not amortize goodwill would increase earnings per share, excludingthe impact of future acquisitions, approximately $0.07 per quarter in 2001. The Company is evaluating theimpact of the proposed standard's requirement for goodwill impairment analysis.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (""SEC'') issued StaÅ Accounting Bulletin(""SAB'') No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition,presentation and disclosure of revenue in Ñnancial statements. The adoption of this bulletin did not have amaterial impact on the Company's Ñnancial position or results of operations.
In conjunction with the adoption of SAB No. 101, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force(""EITF'') 00-10 Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. The adoption of this authoritativeguidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Ñnancial position or results of operations.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting forDerivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes new accounting and reportingstandards requiring that all derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in othercontracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, depending on the rights or obligationsunder the contracts, at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value berecognized currently in earnings unless speciÑc hedge accounting criteria are met. For a qualifying cash Öowhedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are initially recognized in other comprehensiveincome and then are reclassiÑed into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction aÅects earnings. For aqualifying fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are oÅset against thecorresponding changes for the hedged item through earnings. Such accounting for qualifying hedges allows aderivative's gains and losses to oÅset related results of the hedged item in the income statement and requiresthat a company formally document, designate and assess the eÅectiveness of transactions that receive hedgeaccounting treatment. SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain HedgingActivities, was issued in June 2000 and amends certain provisions of SFAS No. 133. These statements areeÅective for all Ñscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We believe the adoption of the new standards willnot have a material eÅect on our Ñnancial position and results of operations.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency and changes in interest rates. Adiscussion of our market risk exposure in Ñnancial instruments follows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Because we operate in virtually every oil and gas exploration and production region in the world, weconduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for most ofour international operations is the applicable local currency. Although most of our international revenues aredenominated in the local currency, the eÅects of foreign currency Öuctuations are largely mitigated becauselocal expenses of such foreign operations also generally are denominated in the same currency. The impact ofexchange rate Öuctuations during the years ended 2000, 1999 and 1998 did not have a material eÅect onreported amounts of revenues or net income.
Assets and liabilities of those foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rates in eÅect at thebalance sheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reÖected as accumulated other comprehensiveloss in the stockholders' equity section on our balance sheet. Approximately 45% of our net assets areimpacted by changes in foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. We recorded a $51.3 millionadjustment to our equity account for the year ended December 31, 2000 to reÖect the net impact of thedecline in various foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.
We have historically entered into forward exchange contracts only as a hedge against certain existingeconomic exposures and not for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts reduce exposure to currency
38
Brought to you by Global Reports
movements aÅecting existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which results primarilyfrom intercompany loans and debt arrangements.
As of December 31, 2000, we had no forward exchange contracts outstanding. Settlement of forwardexchange contracts resulted in net cash outÖows totaling $2.0 million during the year ended December 31,2000, $1.4 million of which related to a hedge contract held for Grant Prideco. During the years endedDecember 31, 1999 and 1998, we experienced net cash inÖows of $1.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.The net cash Öows vary from year to year due to diÅerences in the forward rate and the spot rate on the date ofsettlement. These diÅerences may result in material net inÖows and outÖows if the currency is volatile. Webelieve that this risk is mitigated because we have historically entered into contracts with terms of 30 to60 days. However, there can be no assurance that volatility similar or greater than that experienced in the pastcould not occur in the future.
Interest Rates
We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term Ñxed interest rate debt and, to a lesser extent,variable-interest rate borrowings. Our long-term borrowings subject to interest rate risk primarily consist of the$200.0 million principal of the 71/4% Senior Notes due 2006, the $402.5 million principal of the 5% ConvertibleSubordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures due 2027 and the $910.0 million Zero Coupon SeniorConvertible Debentures due 2020. Changes in interest rates would, assuming all other things being equal,cause the fair market value of debt with a Ñxed interest rate to increase or decrease, and thus increase ordecrease the amount required to reÑnance the debt. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of theSenior Notes was $203.0 million and $194.8 million, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes isprincipally dependent on changes in prevailing interest rates. The fair market value of the ConvertiblePreferred Debentures was $409.5 million and $307.9 million, respectively and the fair market value of theZero Coupon Debentures at December 31, 2000 was $554.0 million. The fair value of the ConvertiblePreferred Debentures and the Zero Coupon Debentures are principally dependent on both prevailing interestrates and our current stock price as it relates to the conversion price of $53.34 per share and $55.1425 pershare of our common stock, respectively.
We have various other debt instruments but believe that the impact of changes in interest rates in thenear term will not be material to these instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of SigniÑcant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated Ñnancial statements include the accounts of Weatherford International, Inc. (aDelaware corporation) and all majority-owned subsidiaries (the ""Company''). All material intercompanyaccounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for its 50% or less-owned aÇliates using the equity method of accounting.
Basis of Presentation
In October 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to distribute all of theoutstanding shares of common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Grant Prideco, Inc. (the ""Spin-oÅ'') toholders of the Company's common stock, $1.00 par value (""Common Stock''). These shares were distributedat the close of business on April 14, 2000 to stockholders of record as of March 23, 2000. In connection withand prior to the Spin-oÅ, the Company transferred its drilling products businesses to Grant Prideco, Inc.(""Grant Prideco''). As a result, the accompanying Ñnancial statements reÖect the operations of Grant Pridecoas discontinued operations.
Certain reclassiÑcations of prior years' balances have been made to conform such amounts to correspond-ing 2000 classiÑcations.
Nature of Operations
The Company is one of the largest global providers of innovative mechanical solutions, technology andservices for the drilling and production sectors of the oil and gas industry.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Ñnancial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in theUnited States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that aÅect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities at the date of the Ñnancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period. Actual results could diÅer from those estimates.
Inventories
Inventories are valued using the Ñrst-in, Ñrst-out (""FIFO'') method and are stated at the lower of cost ormarket.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Thecosts of renewals, replacements and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation on Ñxed assets is computedusing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for the respective categories. The Companyevaluates potential impairment of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets on an ongoingbasis whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The estimateduseful lives of the major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
EstimatedUseful Life
Buildings and other property ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 5-45 yearsRental and service equipment ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 3-15 yearsMachinery and equipmentÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 3-20 years

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)
Intangible Assets and Amortization
The Company's intangible assets are goodwill, patents, technology licenses, trademarks and otheridentiÑable intangible assets. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of theestimated useful life or 40 years. Other identiÑable intangible assets, included as a component of Other Assets,are amortized on a straight-line basis over the years expected to be beneÑted, ranging from 3 to 17 years.
Amortization expense for goodwill and other intangible assets was approximately $45.3 million,$28.0 million and $17.6 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Accumulated amortization atDecember 31, 2000 and 1999 was $113.7 million and $77.5 million, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (""SFAS'') No. 121, long-lived assetsto be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment when any events or changes incircumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets tobe held and used, the Company bases its evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets,the future economic beneÑt of the assets, any historical or future proÑtability measurements, and otherexternal market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or otherfactors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the Companydetermines whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash Öows analysis of theassets at the lowest level for which identiÑable cash Öows exist. If an impairment has occurred, the Companyrecognizes a loss for the diÅerence between the carrying amount and the estimated value of the asset. The fairvalue of the asset is measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, fair valueis based on an estimate of discounted cash Öows. During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, theCompany's analyses indicated that there was not an impairment of its long-lived assets to be held and used.For long-lived assets held for sale, the Company bases its evaluation of impairment on carrying value ascompared to the fair market value less costs to sell. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company announced themerger of essentially all of its Compression Services Division and determined that there was an impairment ofits assets held for sale. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $56.3 million write-down of the assets of theCompression Services Division (see Note 2).
Environmental Expenditures
Environmental expenditures that relate to the remediation of an existing condition caused by pastoperations and do not contribute to current or future revenues are expensed. Liabilities for these expendituresare recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and costs can be reasonably estimated.Estimates are based on currently available facts and technology, presently enacted laws and regulations andthe Company's prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. Liabilities included $2.5 million and$3.1 million of accrued environmental expenditures at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for most of the Company's international operations is the applicable localcurrency. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollarare translated using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreignsubsidiaries are translated using the exchange rates in eÅect at the balance sheet date, and the resultingtranslation adjustments are included as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, a component of stockhold-ers' equity. Currency transaction gains and losses are reÖected in income for the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts only as a hedge against certain existing economicexposures and not for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts reduce exposure to currencymovements aÅecting speciÑc existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Such exposureresults primarily from long-term debt and intercompany loans. The future value of these contracts and therelated currency positions are subject to oÅsetting market risks resulting from foreign currency exchange ratevolatility. The counterparties to the Company's foreign exchange contracts are creditworthy multinationalcommercial banks. Management believes that the risk of counterparty nonperformance is immaterial. AtDecember 31, 2000, the Company was not a party to any foreign exchange contracts. At December 31, 1999,the Company had contracts maturing within the next 60 days to sell $14.7 million in U.K. pounds sterling andAustrian schillings. Had such contracts matured on December 31, 1999 the Company's required cash outlaywould have been insigniÑcant.
Allocation of Interest Expense to Discontinued Operations
The Company's historical practice has been to incur indebtedness for its consolidated group at the parentcompany level or at a limited number of subsidiaries, rather than at the operating levels, and to centrallymanage various cash functions. Consequently, a portion of the Company's historical interest expense has beenallocated to discontinued operations. The amount allocated reÖects interest expense associated with the$100.0 million unsecured subordinated note due from Grant Prideco (See Note 3) calculated using theCompany's average long-term debt interest rates for the applicable periods. The amounts allocated using thismethodology result in amounts consistent with the allocation of interest expense based on a ratio of the netassets of discontinued operations to the Company's consolidated net assets plus debt.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized forthe future tax consequences attributable to diÅerences between the Ñnancial statement carrying amounts ofexisting assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Revenue Recognition
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (""SEC'') issued StaÅ Accounting Bulletin(""SAB'') No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition,presentation, and disclosure of revenue in the Ñnancial statements. The adoption of this bulletin did not have amaterial impact on the Company's Ñnancial position or results of operations.
Revenue for product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: a) evidence ofan agreement exists, b) delivery to and acceptance by the customer has occurred, c) the price to the customeris Ñxed and determinable and d) collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from rental agreements isrecognized over the rental period, and revenue from service agreements is recognized when services have beenrendered. The associated costs and expenses are recognized as incurred.
In conjunction with the adoption of SAB No. 101, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force(""EITF'') 00-10 Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. The adoption of this authoritativeguidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Ñnancial position or results of operations.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. These expenses were $28.6 million,$17.7 million and $10.8 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Minority Interests
The Company records minority interest expense, which reÖects the portion of the earnings of majority-owned operations that is applicable to the minority interest partners. In 2000 and 1999, the minority interestexpense primarily represents GE Capital Corporation's (""GE Capital'') minority interest in the results ofoperations of the Compression Services Division joint venture (See Note 4).
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares ofCommon Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividingincome by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year adjusted forthe dilutive eÅect of the incremental shares that would have been outstanding under the Company's stockoption and restricted stock plans (See Note 14). The eÅect of stock options and restricted stock is notincluded in the computation for periods in which a loss from continuing operations occurs, because to do sowould be anti-dilutive. The eÅect of the 5% Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures, due2027 (the ""Convertible Preferred Debentures'') and the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures, due2020 (the ""Zero Coupon Debentures'') on diluted earnings per share is anti-dilutive and, thus, has no impact.

Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 109,457 102,889 97,065
New Reporting Requirements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (""FASB'') issued SFAS No. 133, Accountingfor Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes new accounting and reportingstandards requiring that all derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in othercontracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, depending on the rights or obligationsunder the contracts, at their fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value berecognized currently in earnings unless speciÑc hedge accounting criteria are met. For a qualifying cash Öowhedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are initially recognized in other comprehensiveincome and then are reclassiÑed into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction aÅects earnings. For aqualifying fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are oÅset against thecorresponding changes for the hedged item through earnings.
Such accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to oÅset related results of thehedged item in the income statement and requires that a company formally document, designate and assessthe eÅectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. SFAS No. 138, Accounting forCertain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, was issued in June 2000 and amends certainprovisions of SFAS No. 133. These statements are eÅective for all Ñscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.The Company believes the adoption of the new standards will not have a material eÅect on the Company'sÑnancial position and results of operations.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date ofgrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were usedfor 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: expected volatility of 45.44%, 56.04% and 51.23%, risk-free interest rateof 6.2%, 5.8% and 5.1%, expected life of 4.9, 7.0 and 7.0 years and no expected dividends. The weightedaverage fair value of the options granted in 2000, 1999 and 1998 is $18.09, $17.22 and $11.97, respectively.The estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

Total rent expense incurred under operating leases attributable to continuing operations was approxi-mately $38.0 million, $31.0 million and $26.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,respectively.
Other Commitments
In the fourth quarter of 1999 the Compression Services Division sold its manufacturing facility in CorpusChristi, Texas for $14.6 million. Under terms of the sale, the Compression Services Division has agreed tomake purchases from that facility for approximately $38.0 million over a Ñve-year period. As of December 31,2000, the Company had purchased $14.4 million from the facility.
19. Related Party Transactions
The Company incurred legal fees of $3.1 million, $3.0 million and $3.1 million during 2000, 1999 and1998, respectively, with a law Ñrm in which a former director and a former executive oÇcer of the Companywere partners.
During 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Christiana Companies, Inc. (""Christiana'') forapproximately 4.4 million shares of Common Stock and $20.6 million cash. One of the members of theCompany's Board of Directors was also the Chairman and Chief Executive OÇcer of Christiana. In theacquisition, the Company acquired through Christiana (1) 4.4 million shares of the Company's CommonStock, (2) cash, after distribution to the Christiana shareholders, equal to the amount of Christiana'soutstanding tax and other liabilities and (3) a one-third interest in Total Logistic Control, LLC, a refrigeratedwarehouse, trucking and logistics company. The 4.4 million shares of Common Stock acquired are classiÑed asTreasury Stock, Net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because the number of shares ofCommon Stock issued in the Christiana acquisition approximated the number of shares of Common Stockheld by Christiana prior to the acquisition, the Christiana acquisition had no material eÅect on the outstandingnumber of shares of Common Stock or net equity of the Company. In September 2000, the Company sold theone-third interest in Total Logistic Control, LLC to C2, Inc. for $8.3 million. The aforementioned member ofthe Company's Board of Directors was also a director of C2, Inc.

customers may be similarly aÅected by changes in economic and industry conditions. The Company performsongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not generally require collateral in support of its tradereceivables. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and actual losses have historicallybeen within the Company's expectations. Foreign sales also present various risks, including risks of war, civildisturbances and governmental activities that may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds,result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without fair consideration. Most of theCompany's foreign sales, however, are to large international companies or are secured by letters of credit orsimilar arrangements.
In 2000, 1999 and 1998 there was no individual customer who accounted for 10% of consolidatedrevenues.
