WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Weatherford International Ltd. (the “Company”) are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2014, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. When referring to “Weatherford” and using phrases such as “we,” “us,” and “our,” the intent is to refer to Weatherford International Ltd., a Swiss joint-stock corporation, and its subsidiaries as a whole or on a regional basis, depending on the context in which the statements are made.

Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate, certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to uncollectible accounts receivable, lower of cost or market of inventories, equity investments, intangible assets and goodwill, property, plant and equipment, income taxes, percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts, self-insurance, foreign currency exchange rates, pension and post retirement benefit plans, contingencies and share-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all wholly-owned subsidiaries, controlled joint ventures and variable interest entities where the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates in which we exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Despite the recent announcements made by the Venezuelan government, there remains a significant degree of uncertainty as to which exchange markets might be available for particular types of transactions. We have not historically participated in the exchanges made available for access to U.S. dollars nor do we have contractual relationships that would require the use of a particular exchange. Because we have sufficient Venezuelan bolivar fuertes (“bolivars”) to settle our bolivar denominated obligations and similarly sufficient U.S. dollars to settle our U.S. dollar denominated obligations, we currently have no forecasted need to participate in the auction-based SICAD exchanges nor sufficient indication that we will ultimately be required to participate in those exchanges and as such, will continue to utilize the rate published in the primary CADIVI/CENCOEX exchange at March 31, 2014 which is 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar. The other two legal exchange rates are approximately 11 and 50

Table of Contents

Venezuelan bolivars, respectively, to the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2014, we had a net monetary asset position denominated in Venezuelan bolivars of approximately $233 million, comprised primarily of accounts receivable and current liabilities. Management is closely monitoring the applicability and viability of this new exchange system.

2. Business Combinations and Divestitures

Acquisitions

From time to time, we acquire businesses we feel are important to our long-term strategy. Results of operations for acquisitions are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. The balances included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to current year acquisitions are based on preliminary information and are subject to change when final asset valuations are obtained and the potential for liabilities has been evaluated. The purchase price for the acquisitions is allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We did not complete any acquisitions during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we acquired businesses and equity investments for cash consideration of $5 million, net of cash acquired.

In May 2012, as part of a business combination, we entered into a contingent consideration arrangement valued at approximately $11 million at March 31, 2014. This contingent consideration arrangement will be settled in early 2015 and is dependent on the acquired company’s 2014 revenue. It will be marked to market through current earnings in each reporting period prior to settlement. The liability is valued using Level 3 inputs.

Divestitures

During the first quarter of 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell our pipeline and specialty services business for total consideration of $250 million, including $241 million in cash and $9 million in retained working capital. The closing of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including antitrust approval. The sale is part of our announced plan to divest our non-core businesses, which is still ongoing.

3. Restructuring Charges

In the first quarter of 2014, we announced a cost reduction plan (“the Plan”), which includes a worldwide workforce reduction. In connection with the Plan, the Company has a restructuring charge for the three months ended March 31, 2014 that includes one-time termination (severance) benefits of $66 million and other restructuring charges of $4 million, including contract termination costs and other associated costs that have been or will be incurred. The Company currently estimates that it will recognize pre-tax charges of $125 million to $150 million associated with the Plan.

The Plan resulted in a charge of $70 million, $3 million of which is related to the vesting of stock based compensation in accordance with the related employment agreements and $36 million was paid prior to March 31, 2014. We anticipate completing our Plan by the end of 2014.

The following table presents the components of the restructuring charges by segment:



					For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
(Dollars in millions)	North America		MENA/Asia Pacific			Europe/SSA/Russia		Latin America		Corporate and Research and Development		Total
Severance and other restructuring charges	$	9	$	5		$	20	$	20	$	16	$	70

Table of Contents

The restructuring charges gave rise to certain future liabilities, the components of which are summarized below, and relate to severance accrued as part of the Plan that will be paid pursuant to the respective severance arrangements and statutory requirements.



	March 31, 2014
(Dollars in millions)	North America		MENA/Asia Pacific		Europe/SSA/Russia		Latin America		Corporate and Research and Development		Total
Severance and other restructuring liability	$	1	$	3	$	19	$	1	$	7	$	31

4. Accounts Receivable Factoring

We participate in a program to sell accounts receivable in Mexico to third party financial institutions. We did not sell any accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold approximately $83 million of accounts receivable. We received cash totaling $79 million and ultimately collected amounts that resulted in a loss of less than $1 million on these sales. Our factoring transactions in the first quarter of 2013 qualified for sale accounting under U.S. GAAP and the proceeds are included in operating cash flows in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

5. Inventories, Net

Inventories, net of reserves, by category were as follows:



(Dollars in millions)	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013

Current portion of long-term debt	76		73
Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt	$	2,293	$	1,666

Revolving Credit Facility

We maintain a $2.25 billion unsecured, revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, scheduled to mature July 13, 2016. The Credit Agreement can be used for a combination of borrowings, support for our $2.25 billion commercial paper program and issuances of letters of credit. This agreement requires that we maintain a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of less than 60%. We were in compliance with this covenant at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, there were $43 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.

364-Day Term Loan Facilities

On May 1, 2013, we entered into a $300 million, 364-day term loan facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility was fully drawn on May 1, 2013 and was scheduled to mature on April 30, 2014. The terms and conditions of the facility were substantially similar to our $2.25 billion revolving credit agreement. The facility was used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other credit facility borrowings and the reduction of outstanding commercial paper.

On April 10, 2014, we entered into a $400 million, 364-day term loan facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility has substantially similar terms and conditions to our previously existing $300 million, 364-day term loan facility, which was scheduled to mature on April 30, 2014. Proceeds from the new facility were used to refinance the existing $300 million, 364-day facility, and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of short-term debt. The $400 million facility closed and was fully drawn on April 10, 2014 and will mature on April 9, 2015. See “Note 18 – Subsequent Events.”

Other Short-Term Borrowings

We have short-term borrowings with various domestic and international institutions pursuant to uncommitted and letter of credit facilities. At March 31, 2014, we had $369 million in short-term borrowings under these arrangements including $150 million borrowed under a credit agreement entered into in the first quarter of 2014, with a Libor-based interest rate that was 1.3% as of March 31, 2014, scheduled to mature March 20, 2016. In addition, we had $530 million of letters of credit under various uncommitted facilities and $284 million of surety bonds, primarily performance bonds, issued by financial sureties against an indemnification from us at March 31, 2014.

The carrying value of our short-term borrowings approximates their fair value as of March 31, 2014. A majority of the current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2014 is primarily related to payments on our capital leases.

Table of Contents

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Measured and Recognized at Fair Value

We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. Other than the contingent consideration discussed in Note 2 and our derivative instruments discussed in Note 9, we had no assets or liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

Our other financial instruments include short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The carrying value of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings approximates their fair value due to the short-term duration of the associated interest rate periods. These short-term borrowings are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of our long-term debt fluctuates with changes in applicable interest rates. Fair value will exceed carrying value when the current market interest rate is lower than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued. The fair value of our long-term debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is a measure of its current value under present market conditions and is established based on observable inputs in less active markets.

The fair value and carrying value of our senior notes were as follows:



(Dollars in millions)	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Fair value	$	7,873	$	7,580
Carrying value	6,803		6,805

9. Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency and changes in interest rates. From time to time, we may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce our market risk. We manage our debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates, and we may employ interest rate swaps as a tool to achieve that goal. The major risks from interest rate derivatives include changes in the interest rates affecting the fair value of such instruments, potential increases in interest expense due to market increases in floating interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties in such transactions. In light of events in the global credit markets and the potential impact of these events on the liquidity of the banking industry, we continue to monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties, which are multinational commercial banks. The fair values of all our outstanding derivative instruments are determined using a model with Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates.

Fair Value Hedges

We may use interest rate swaps to help mitigate exposures related to changes in the fair values of the associated debt. Amounts paid or received upon termination of interest rate swaps accounted for as fair value hedges represent the fair value of the agreements at the time of termination and are amortized as a reduction, in the case of gains, or as an increase, in the case of losses, of interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. As of March 31, 2014, we had net unamortized gains of $40 million associated with interest rate swap terminations. These gains are being amortized over the remaining term of the originally hedged debt as a reduction in interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges

In 2008, we entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge projected exposures to interest rates in anticipation of a debt offering. These hedges were terminated at the time of the issuance of the debt and the associated loss on these hedges is being amortized from “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” into interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. As of March 31, 2014, there were no significant changes associated with our cash flow hedge terminations.

Table of Contents

Other Derivative Instruments

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had foreign currency forward contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $447 million and $635 million, respectively. These contracts were entered into to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. The total estimated fair value of these contracts and amounts receivable or owed associated with closed contracts at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 resulted in a net liability of $1 million. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges, and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded each period in current earnings in the line captioned “Other, Net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have cross-currency swaps between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar to hedge certain exposures to the Canadian dollar. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had swaps with notional amounts outstanding of $168 million for both periods. The total estimated fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2014, resulted in the recognition of a $12 million liability. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges, and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded in current earnings each period in the line captioned “Other, Net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments are summarized as follows:



(Dollars in millions)	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013			Classification
Derivative assets not designated as hedges:
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	3		$	5		Other Current Assets
Derivative liabilities not designated as hedges:
Foreign currency forward contracts	(4		)	(6		)	Other Current Liabilities
Cross-currency swap contracts	(12		)	(21		)	Other Liabilities

The effect of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and those not designated as hedges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

10. Income Taxes

We estimate our annual effective tax rate based on year-to-date operating results and our forecast of operating results for the remainder of the year, by jurisdiction, and apply this rate to the year-to-date operating results. If our actual results, by jurisdiction, differ from the forecasted operating results our effective tax rate can change affecting the tax expense for both successive interim results as well as the annual tax results. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a tax provision of $27 million on loss before taxes of $5 million. Our results were impacted by discrete income before tax items, including restructuring charges and project losses of approximately $116 million, with no significant tax benefit.

We are continuously under tax examination in various jurisdictions. We cannot predict the timing or outcome regarding resolution of these tax examinations or if they will have a material impact on our financial statements. We continue to anticipate a possible reduction in the balance of uncertain tax positions by approximately $40 million in the next twelve months due to expiration of statutes of limitations, settlements and/or conclusions of tax examinations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had a tax provision of $5 million on income before taxes of $35 million. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes one-time tax benefits due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, tax restructuring benefit, enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act and decreases in reserves for uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitation expiration and audit settlements, which decreased our effective tax rate for the period to 14%.

The reclassification from the currency translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income includes $34 million from the sale of our industrial screen business. This amount was recognized in the “Gain on Sale of Businesses” line in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

12. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share for all periods presented equals net income divided by the weighted average number of our shares outstanding during the period including participating securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of our shares outstanding during the period including participating securities, adjusted for the dilutive effect of our stock options, restricted shares and performance units.

The following reconciles basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Shares in millions)	2014	2013
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	776	769
Dilutive effect of:
Stock options, restricted shares and performance units	—	4
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	776	773

Table of Contents

Our diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, exclude potential shares that are anti-dilutive, such as options where the exercise price exceeds the current market price of our stock. In addition, diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014, exclude potential shares for stock options, restricted shares and performance units outstanding as we have net losses for that period and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The following table discloses the number of anti-dilutive shares excluded:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Shares in millions)	2014	2013
Anti-dilutive potential shares	2	3
Anti-dilutive potential shares due to net loss	5	—

13. Share-Based Compensation

We recognized the following employee share-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2014		2013
Share-based compensation	$	15	$	11
Related tax benefit	3		4

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued approximately 800,000 performance units, which will vest with continued employment, if the Company meets certain market-based performance goals. The performance units have a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.31 per share based on the Monte Carlo simulation method. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation included a risk-free rate of 0.34%, volatility of 33.53% and a zero dividend yield. As of March 31, 2014, there was $20 million of unrecognized compensation related to our performance units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we also granted 1.2 million restricted share awards at a weighted average grant date fair value of $15.63 per share. As of March 31, 2014, there was $72 million of unrecognized compensation related to our unvested restricted share grants. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years.

(a)

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized estimated project losses of $26 million related to our long-term early production facility construction contracts in Iraq accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. Total estimated losses on these projects were $333 million at March 31, 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized income of $8 million related to our long-term early production facility construction contracts in Iraq. As of March 31, 2014, our project estimates include $64 million of claims revenue. Of this claim revenue, $28 million was recognized during the current quarter based on the estimated percentage completed.


(b)	For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized restructuring charges of $70 million: $9 million in North America, $5 million in MENA/Asia Pacific, $20 million in Europe/SSA/Russia, $20 million in Latin America and $16 million in Corporate and Research and Development.


(c)	The three months ended March 31, 2014 includes professional fees of $23 million related to the divestiture of our non-core businesses, restatement related litigation, the settlement of the U.S. government investigations, the remediation of our material weakness related to income taxes and our planned redomestication and other charges of $3 million.


(d)	The three months ended March 31, 2013 includes income tax restatement and material weakness remediation expenses of $21 million, severance, exit and other charges of $20 million, partially offset by a $6 million gain on the sale of our industrial screen business.

15. Disputes, Litigation and Contingencies

U.S. Government and Internal Investigations

On January 17, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas approved the settlement agreements between us and certain of our subsidiaries and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). On November 26, 2013, we announced that we and our subsidiaries also entered into settlement agreements with the U.S. Departments of Treasury and Commerce and with the SEC, which the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas entered on December 20, 2013. These agreements collectively resolved investigations of prior alleged violations by us and certain of our subsidiaries relating to certain trade sanctions laws, participation in the United Nations oil-for-food program governing sales of goods into Iraq, and non-compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”).

The $253 million payable by us and our subsidiaries under the settlement agreements was paid in January and February 2014 pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreements. These agreements include a requirement to retain, for a period of at least 18 months, an independent monitor responsible to assess our compliance with the terms of the agreement so as to address and reduce the risk of recurrence of alleged misconduct, after which we would continue to evaluate our own compliance program and make periodic reports to the DOJ and SEC and maintain agreed compliance monitoring and reporting systems, all of which are costly to us. In April 2014, the independent monitor was retained and the compliance assessment period began. These agreements also require us to retain an independent third party to retroactively audit our compliance with U.S. export control laws during the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. This audit has commenced.

The SEC and DOJ are also investigating the circumstances surrounding the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting for income taxes that was disclosed in a notification of late filing on Form 12b-25 filed on March 1, 2011 and in current reports on Form 8-K filed on February 21, 2012 and on July 24, 2012 and the subsequent restatements of our historical financial statements. We are cooperating fully with these investigations. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters due to the inherent uncertainties presented by such investigations, and we are unable to predict potential outcomes or estimate the range of potential loss contingencies, if any. The government, generally, has a broad range of civil and criminal penalties available for these types of matters under applicable law and regulation, including injunctive relief, fines, penalties and modifications to business practices, some of which, if imposed on us, could be material to our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Shareholder Litigation

In 2010, three shareholder derivative actions were filed, purportedly on behalf of the Company, asserting breach of duty and other claims against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company related to the United Nations oil-for-food program governing sales of goods into Iraq, FCPA and trade sanctions related to the U.S. government investigations disclosed above and in our SEC filings since 2007. Those shareholder derivative cases, captioned Neff v. Brady, et al., No. 201040764, Rosner v. Brady, et al., No. 201047343, and Hess v. Duroc-Danner, et al., No. 201040765, were filed in Harris County, Texas state court and consolidated. In 2014, one of the three cases, Hess v. Duroc-Danner, et al., No. 201040765, was voluntarily dismissed. Other shareholder demand letters covering the same subject matter were received by the Company in early 2014, and a fourth shareholder derivative action was filed, purportedly on behalf of the Company, and also asserting breach of duty and other claims against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company related to the same subject matter as the Neff case. That case, captioned Erste-Sparinvest KAG v. Duroc-Danner, et al., No. 2014-20933 (Harris County, Tex.) is pending.

In March 2011, a shareholder derivative action, Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund v. Duroc-Danner, et al., No. 201119822, was filed in Harris County, Texas, civil court purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors, alleging breaches of duty related to the material weakness and restatement announcements. In February 2012, a second shareholder derivative action, Wandel v. Duroc-Danner, et al., No. 1:12-cv-01305-LAK (SDNY), was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York. In March 2012, a purported securities class action captioned Freedman v. Weatherford International Ltd., et al., No. 1:12-cv-02121-LAK (SDNY) was filed in the Southern District of New York against us and certain current and former officers. That case alleges violation of the federal securities laws related to the restatement of our historical financial statements announced on February 21, 2012, and later added claims related to the announcement of a subsequent restatement on July 24, 2012.

We cannot predict the outcome of these cases including the amount of any possible loss. If one or more negative outcomes were to occur relative to these cases, the aggregate impact to our financial condition could be material.

Table of Contents

In March 2011, a purported shareholder class action captioned Dobina v. Weatherford International Ltd., et al., No. 1:11-cv-01646-LAK (SDNY), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, following our announcement on March 1, 2011 of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting for income taxes, and restatement of our historical financial statements (the “2011 Class Action”). The associated lawsuit alleged violation of the federal securities laws by us and certain current and former officers. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we entered into negotiations to settle the 2011 Class Action. As a result of these negotiations, settlement became probable and a settlement agreement was signed on January 29, 2014. The settlement arrangement was submitted to the court for approval and notice to the class. A final hearing has been set for July 8, 2014. The settlement agreement required payments totaling approximately $53 million which was entirely funded by our insurers.

Other Disputes

A former Senior Vice President and General Counsel (the “Executive”) left the Company in June 2009. The Executive had employment agreements with us that terminated upon his departure. There is currently a dispute between the Executive and us as to the amount of compensation we are obligated to pay under these employment agreements based on the Executive’s separation. This dispute has not resulted in a lawsuit being filed. Since 2009, it had been our belief that an unfavorable outcome regarding this dispute is not probable and, as such, we had not accrued for the Executive’s claimed severance and other benefits. However, in the three months ended December 31, 2013 we concluded that we would attempt to negotiate a settlement. As a result, we believe that settlement has become probable and we have accrued our estimate of the probable loss.

Additionally, we are aware of various disputes and potential claims and are a party in various litigation involving claims against us, some of which are covered by insurance. For claims, disputes and pending litigation in which we believe a negative outcome is probable and a loss can be reasonably estimated, we have recorded a liability for the expected loss. These liabilities are immaterial to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition we have certain claims, disputes and pending litigation regarding which we do not believe a negative outcome is probable or for which we can only estimate a range of liability. It is possible, however, an unexpected judgment could be rendered against us, or we could decide to resolve a case or cases, that would result in liability that could be uninsured and beyond the amounts we currently have reserved and in some cases those losses could be material. If one or more negative outcomes were to occur relative to these matters, the aggregate impact to our financial condition could be material.

16. New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance intended to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures for discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. The new guidance also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations intended to provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. Finally, the new guidance requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This guidance is effective beginning with the first quarter of 2015, however early adoption is available. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance would have on our financial disclosures.

In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance intended to clarify the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. The unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets to the extent that: (1) the deferred tax asset is not available under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the tax position, or (2) the entity is not required to use the deferred tax asset under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset to offset additional taxes that would result from disallowance of the position. This guidance is effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2014 and may be adopted prospectively for all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date or retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

18. Subsequent Events

Jurisdiction of Incorporation Proposal

On April 2, 2014, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan that would change our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. In connection with the proposed change, we entered into a merger agreement on April 2, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Weatherford International Limited, a newly-formed private Irish limited company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Weatherford Ireland”). Under the Merger Agreement, Weatherford Switzerland will merge into Weatherford Ireland (the “Merger”). Weatherford Ireland will be re-registered as an Irish public limited company and renamed “Weatherford International plc” (or a similar name) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. The Merger is subject to approval by our shareholders and certain other customary closing conditions. If the proposal is approved by our shareholders at the June 16, 2014 meeting, we expect to complete the Merger by the end of the second quarter of 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) begins with an executive overview that provides a general description of our Company, a synopsis of industry market trends, insight into management’s perspective of the opportunities and challenges we face and our outlook for the remainder of 2014. Next, we analyze the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, including the trends in our business and review our liquidity and capital resources. We conclude with an overview of our critical accounting policies and estimates and a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements. The “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Weatherford International Ltd., a Swiss joint-stock corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included with this report and our financial statements and related MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. Our discussion includes various forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our future results. These statements are based on certain assumptions we consider reasonable. For information about these assumptions, please review the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and the section entitled “Item 1A. - Risk Factors.”

Overview

General

We conduct operations in over 100 countries and have service and sales locations in nearly all of the oil and natural gas producing regions in the world. Our operational performance is reviewed on a geographic basis and we report the following regions as separate, distinct reporting segments: North America, MENA/Asia Pacific, Europe/SSA/Russia and Latin America.

We principally provide equipment and services to the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry, both on land and offshore, through our two product service line groups: (1) Formation Evaluation and Well Construction and (2) Completion and Production, which together comprise a total of 15 service lines.


•	Formation Evaluation and Well Construction service lines include Controlled-Pressure Drilling and Testing, Drilling Services, Tubular Running Services, Drilling Tools, Integrated Drilling, Wireline Services, Re-entry and Fishing, Cementing, Liner Systems, Integrated Laboratory Services and Surface Logging.


•	Completion and Production service lines include Artificial Lift Systems, Stimulation and Chemicals, Completion Systems and Pipeline and Specialty Services.

We may sell our products and services separately or may bundle them together to provide integrated solutions, up to and including integrated well construction where we are responsible for the entire process of drilling, constructing and completing a well. Our customers include both exploration and production companies and other oilfield service companies. Depending on the service line, customer and location, our contracts vary in their terms, provisions and indemnities. We earn revenues under our contracts when products and services are delivered. Typically, we provide products and services at a well site where our personnel and equipment may be located together with personnel and equipment of our customer and third parties, such as other service providers. Our services are usually short-term in nature; day-rate based and cancellable should our customer wish to alter the scope of work. Consequently, our backlog of firm orders is not material to the Company.

Industry Trends

Changes in the current and expected future prices of oil and natural gas influence the level of energy industry spending. Changes in expenditures result in an increased or decreased demand for our products and services. Rig count is an indicator of the level of spending for the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas reserves. The following chart sets forth certain statistics that reflect historical market conditions:



	WTI Oil ^(a)	Henry Hub Gas ^(b)	North American Rig Count ^(c)	International Rig Count ^(c)
March 31, 2014	101.58	4.37	2,327	1,337
December 31, 2013	98.42	4.19	2,129	1,320
March 31, 2013	97.23	4.02	2,289	1,287

(b)	Price per MM/BTU as of the date indicated at Henry Hub Louisiana – Source: Thomson Reuters


(c)	Average rig count for the period indicated – Source: Baker Hughes Rig Count

Oil prices increased during the first three months of 2014, ranging from a high of $104.92 per barrel in early March to a low of $91.89 per barrel in early January. Natural gas ranged from a high of $5.47 MM/BTU in late January to a low of $3.98 MM/BTU in early January. Factors influencing oil and natural gas prices during the period include hydrocarbon inventory levels, realized and expected global economic growth, realized and expected levels of hydrocarbon demand, levels of spare production capacity within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), weather and geopolitical uncertainty.

Outlook

In 2014, we expect to achieve improved profitability by focusing the organization on growing our core businesses, making our cost base more efficient, divesting our non-core businesses and reducing our debt.

We expect revenue growth in North America, Europe/SSA/Russia and MENA/Asia Pacific regions while Latin America is expected to decline. Overall margins will improve as a result of lower costs and growth, primarily in our more profitable core businesses. The revenue growth and margins will show improvements throughout the year, but will be stronger in the second half of 2014.

In an effort to make our cost base more efficient, we have completed the initial phase of our previously announced cost reduction initiatives. We have identified over 6,600 positions for reduction, with expected annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $450 million. This reduction remains on track to be substantially completed during the first half of 2014. Our strategic business reviews are on-going and we have started eliminating select operating locations identified in these reviews. We expect these actions will bring additional costs savings, both in the form of headcount reductions and other savings that will enable us to deliver on the 7,000 headcount reduction target and the $500 million targeted annualized pre-tax cost savings.

We continually seek opportunities to maximize efficiency and value through various transactions, including purchases or dispositions of assets, businesses and investments or joint ventures. We evaluate our disposition candidates based on the strategic fit within our business and/or objectives. In late 2013, we announced our intention to divest certain non-core business lines (land drilling rigs, drilling fluids, pipeline and specialty services, testing and production services and wellheads) and target dates for completing these divestitures. Upon completion, the cash proceeds from these divestitures will be used to pay down debt.

In 2014 our effective tax rate is expected to be between 25% and 30% and will depend on the geographical mix of earnings. Capital expenditures are estimated at $1.3 billion, or approximately 8% of revenue, for 2014 and will include core and non-core product lines until the divestitures are complete. The continued focus on reducing working capital coupled with improved earnings is expected to generate positive free cash flow during 2014 that will be used primarily to reduce debt.

We believe the long-term outlook for our businesses is favorable. As well production decline rates accelerate and reservoir productivity complexities increase, our clients will continue to face growing challenges securing desired rates of production growth. These challenges increase our customers’ requirements for technologies that improve productivity, efficiency and increase demand

Table of Contents

for our products and services. These factors provide us with a positive outlook for our core businesses over the longer term. The level of improvement in our businesses in the future will continue to depend heavily on pricing and volume increases, our control of costs and our ability to further penetrate existing markets with our newly developed technologies, as well as to successfully introduce these technologies to new markets.

Revenues

The following chart contains the percentage distribution of our consolidated revenues by product service line group for three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013

Consolidated revenues decreased $241 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. International revenues decreased $159 million, or 7%, in first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, despite a 4% increase in

Table of Contents

international average rig count. International revenues include revenues from all segments other than North America. Decreased activity in Latin America, primarily related to the completion of project work in Mexico, and the continued impact of our self-imposed capital discipline driven activity reductions in Venezuela, were the main factors causing the decrease in revenues compared to the same period in 2013. Revenue in our North America segment decreased $82 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, despite a 2% increase in North American average rig count. The decrease in revenue was due to reduced demand resulting from the severe winter weather conditions in the United States during the first quarter of 2014.

Operating Income

Consolidated operating income decreased $149 million, or 53%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to restructuring charges of $70 million, as well as a $43 million increase in losses associated with our legacy contracts in Iraq. The remainder of the operating income decline was principally due to a decline in North America margins reflecting severe winter weather related activity stoppages in the United States Land market, partially offset by the normal seasonal improvement in Canada. Despite the decline in Latin America revenues, its operating income remained relatively flat due to the completion of lower margin project work in Mexico and a continued focus on higher margin activity in Argentina and Brazil.

Other items for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include $26 million primarily related to professional fees related to the divestiture of our non-core businesses, the remediation of our material weakness related to income taxes and our planned redomestication.

Other items for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include income tax restatement and material weakness remediation expenses of $21 million, severance, exit and other charges of $20 million (which includes $5 million in legal and professional fee incurred in conjunction with our prior investigations), partially offset by a $6 million gain related to the sale of our industrial screen business.

Devaluation of Venezuelan Bolivar

On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to further devalue its currency effective February 13, 2013 at which time the official exchange rate moved from 4.30 per dollar to 6.30 per dollar for all goods and services. In connection with this devaluation, we recognized a charge of $100 million in the first quarter of 2013 for the remeasurement of our net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar at the date of the devaluation, which was not tax deductible in Venezuela.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased $5 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to a decrease in our higher coupon senior notes partially offset by an increase in lower cost short-term borrowings in 2014.

Income Taxes

We estimate our annual effective tax rate based on year-to-date operating results and our forecast of operating results for the remainder of the year, by jurisdiction, and apply this rate to the year-to-date operating results. If our actual results, by jurisdiction, differ from the forecasted operating results our effective tax rate can change affecting the tax expense for both successive interim as well as the annual tax results. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a tax provision of $27 million on loss before taxes of $5 million. Our results were impacted by discrete income before tax items, including restructuring charges and project losses of approximately $116 million, with no significant tax benefit.

Restructuring Charges

In the first quarter of 2014, we announced, as an important step in making our cost base more efficient, a cost reduction plan (“the Plan”), which includes a worldwide workforce reduction that is expected to involve approximately 7,000 employees associated with our core businesses. The restructuring charge for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes one-time termination (severance) benefits of $66 million and other restructuring charges of $4 million, including contract termination costs and other associated costs that have been or will be incurred. The Company currently estimates that it will recognize pre-tax charges of $125 million to $150 million associated with the Plan. As of March 31, 2014, we have completed approximately 56% of our planned reduction in workforce.

The following table presents the components of the restructuring charges by segment:



					For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
(Dollars in millions)	North America		MENA/Asia Pacific			Europe/SSA/Russia		Latin America		Corporate and Research and Development		Total
Severance and other restructuring charges	$	9	$	5		$	20	$	20	$	16	$	70

Segment Results

North America

North America segment revenues decreased $82 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. North America average rig count increased 2% over the comparable period. The decrease in revenue was due to reduced demand associated with the severe winter weather conditions in the United States that impacted several of our product lines. These declines abated in the latter part of the quarter and were partially offset by an increase in demand for artificial lift products.

Operating income decreased $30 million, or 13%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. Declines in operating margin are driven by weather related work stoppages, which contributed to completions and formation evaluation margin declines. Operating margins were 12% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 13% in the first quarter of 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized restructuring charges of $9 million in North America.

MENA/Asia Pacific

MENA/Asia Pacific revenues decreased $4 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The lower revenue was due to marginally lower demand for our non-core product lines primarily in Iraq and the Gulf countries.

Operating income decreased $39 million during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The 2014 decrease in operating income is primarily due to additional losses on our legacy contracts in Iraq. During the first quarter of 2014, we recognized additional estimated project losses of $26 million related to our two percentage of completion contracts. Total estimated losses on these two projects, one of which was completed during the first quarter, were $333 million at March 31, 2014. Total losses from our legacy contracts in Iraq, inclusive of the percentage of completion contracts, were $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Apart from these results, revenue and margin improvements in Saudi Arabia offset weather related declines in China and Australia. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized restructuring charges of $5 million in MENA/Asia Pacific.

Europe/SSA/Russia

Revenues in our Europe/SSA/Russia segment increased $31 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues were primarily related to increased activity in Europe and new contracts starting up in Sub-Sahara Africa, which were partially offset by lower activity in Russia where the winter weather conditions were more severe than normal. The region realized strong performances due to increased demand primarily for our well construction products and services.

Operating income decreased $11 million, or 17%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. Operating margins were 8% in the first quarter of 2014 and 10% in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in operating income and margins was driven by a reduction in the equity earnings from our investment in Borets that was sold in the fourth quarter of 2013 and higher operating costs for our formation evaluation and artificial lift service lines. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized restructuring charges of $20 million in Europe/SSA/Russia including $4 million in contract termination costs.

Latin America

Revenues in our Latin America segment decreased $186 million, or 26%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 largely related to the completion of project work in Mexico, and the continued impact of our self-imposed capital discipline driven activity reductions in Venezuela.

Operating income decreased $7 million, or 7%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 resulting from a decline in activity associated with lower demand for our artificial lift and formation evaluation services resulting from the completion of project work in Mexico, and lower demand for services in Venezuela. This was partially offset by improved margins for our artificial lift products. Operating margins were 17% in the first quarter of 2014 and 13% in the first quarter of 2013. The improvement in the operating margins was primarily due to the completion of lower margin project work in Mexico and a continued focus on higher margin activity in Argentina and Brazil. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized restructuring charges of $20 million in Latin America.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

At March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $367 million compared to $435 million at December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes cash flows provided by (used in) each type of activity, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2014			2013
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities	$	(406	)	$	(11	)
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities	(274		)	(320		)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	605			318

Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities were $406 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our net income decreased by $62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cash flow used in operating activities were driven by the payment of $253 million to settle the FCPA/sanctioned country matters, restructuring charges related to our restructuring plan, the increase in working capital as accounts receivable and inventory balances increased in the first quarter, and the timing of interest payments, as well as payments made as a part of our planned reduction in force. The change in our net working capital used operating cash flows of $284 million.

Investing Activities

The main driver of our investing cash flow activities is capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures were $286 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $400 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The amount we spend for capital expenditures varies each year based on the type of contracts in which we enter, our asset availability and our expectations with respect to industry activity levels in the following year.

Investing activities also include net cash amounts paid for acquisitions and net proceeds received for sales of assets, businesses and equity investments. Cash proceeds received from dispositions were $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We did not complete any acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. While we expect to continue to make business acquisitions when strategically advantageous, our current focus is on disposition of businesses or capital assets that are no longer core to our long-term strategy.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities primarily consisted of borrowing and repayment of long-term and short-term debt. Our short-term borrowings were $625 million in both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Total long-term debt repayments were $17 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $304 million in three months ended March 31, 2013, which included the repayment of our senior notes of $294 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Sources of Liquidity

Our sources of available liquidity include cash and cash equivalent balances, cash generated from operations, commercial paper and committed availabilities under bank lines of credit. We also historically have accessed banks for short-term loans from uncommitted borrowing arrangements and the capital markets with debt and equity offerings. From time to time we may enter into transactions to factor accounts receivable or dispose of businesses or capital assets that are no longer core to our long-term strategy.

Table of Contents

Committed Borrowing Facility

The following summarizes our availability under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2014 (dollars in millions):



Facility	$	2,250
Less uses of facility:
Revolving credit facility	700
Commercial paper	848
Letters of credit	43
Availability	$	659

Our Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services’ credit rating on our senior unsecured debt is currently BBB- and our short-term rating is A-3, both with a stable outlook. Our Moody’s Investors Ratings Services’ credit rating on our unsecured debt is currently Baa2 and our short-term rating is P-2, both with a negative outlook. We have access and expect we will continue to have access to credit markets, including the U.S. commercial paper market, although the commercial paper amounts outstanding may be reduced as a result of a negative rating change. We expect to utilize the Credit Agreement or other facilities to supplement commercial paper borrowings as needed.

Cash Requirements

For the remainder of 2014, we anticipate our cash requirements will include payments for working capital needs, capital expenditures and interest payments on our outstanding debt. Our cash requirements may also include opportunistic business acquisitions. Consistent with 2013, we anticipate funding these requirements from cash generated from operations, availability under our existing or additional credit facilities, the issuance of commercial paper and potential proceeds from disposals of businesses or capital assets that are no longer closely aligned with our core long-term growth strategy. Capital expenditures for 2014 are projected to be approximately 8% of our revenues. The amounts we ultimately spend will depend on a number of factors including the type of contracts we enter into, asset availability and our expectations with respect to industry activity levels in 2014. Expenditures are expected to be used primarily to support anticipated near-term growth of our core businesses and our sources of liquidity are anticipated to be sufficient to meet our needs. Capital expenditures were $286 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cash and cash equivalents of $362 million at March 31, 2014 are held by subsidiaries domiciled outside of Switzerland. Based on the nature of our structure, we are generally able to redeploy cash with no significant incremental tax expense.

Guarantees

The following obligations of Weatherford Delaware were guaranteed by Weatherford Bermuda at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013: (1) 6.35% senior notes and (2) 6.80% senior notes.

Letters of Credit and Performance and Bid Bonds

We use letters of credit and performance and bid bonds in the normal course of our business. As of March 31, 2014, we had $857 million of letters of credit and performance and bid bonds outstanding, consisting of $530 million outstanding under various uncommitted credit facilities, $43 million letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement and $284 million of surety bonds, primarily performance bonds, issued by financial sureties against an indemnification from us. These obligations could be called by the beneficiaries should we breach certain contractual or performance obligations. If the beneficiaries were to call the letters of credit under our committed facilities, our available liquidity would be reduced by the amount called.

Derivative Instruments

Fair Value Hedges

We may use interest rate swaps to help mitigate exposures related to changes in the fair values of the associated debt. As of March 31, 2014, we had net unamortized gains of $40 million associated with interest rate swap terminations. These gains are being amortized over the remaining term of the originally hedged debt as a reduction in interest expense. See “Note 9 – Derivative Instruments” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Cash Flow Hedges

In 2008, we entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge projected exposures to interest rates in anticipation of a debt offering. As of March 31, 2014, we had net unamortized losses of $11 million associated with our cash flow hedge terminations. See “Note 9 – Derivative Instruments” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Other Derivative Instruments

As of March 31, 2014, we had foreign currency forward contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $447 million. These contracts were entered into to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. The total estimated fair value of these contracts and amounts receivable or owed associated with closed contracts at March 31, 2014, resulted in a net liability of $1 million. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges, and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded

We have cross-currency swaps between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar to hedge certain exposures to the Canadian dollar. At March 31, 2014, we had swaps with notional amounts outstanding of $168 million. The total estimated fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2014, resulted in the recognition of a $12 million liability. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges, and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded in current earnings each period in the line captioned “Other, Net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note 9 – Derivative Instruments” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation is based upon our consolidated financial statements. We prepare these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes or developments in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains various statements relating to future financial performance and results, including certain projections, business trends and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements constitute “Forward-Looking Statements” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “budget,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “guidance,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Forward-looking statements reflect our beliefs and expectations based on current estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, and the estimates and projections on which they are based, are reasonable and were made in good faith, these statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, from time to time, we update the various factors we consider in making our forward-looking statements and the assumptions we use in those statements. However, we undertake no obligation to correct, update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required under federal securities laws. The following sets forth various assumptions we use in our forward-looking statements, as well as risks and uncertainties relating to those statements. Certain of the risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to be materially different from projected results contained in forward-looking statements in this report and in our other disclosures. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described below under “Item 1A. – Risk Factors” and the following:


•	global political, economic and market conditions, political disturbances, war, terrorist attacks, changes in global trade policies, and international currency fluctuations;


•	our inability to realize expected revenues and profitability levels from current and future contracts;


•	our ability to manage our workforce, supply chain and business processes, information technology systems, and technological innovation and commercialization;


•	increases in the prices and availability of our raw materials;


•	nonrealization of expected reductions in our effective tax rate;


•	nonrealization of expected benefits from our acquisitions or business dispositions and our ability to execute such acquisitions and dispositions;


•	downturns in our industry which could affect the carrying value of our goodwill;


•	member-country quota compliance within OPEC;


•	adverse weather conditions in certain regions of our operations;


•	our ability to obtain the necessary consents and approvals and to complete the Merger (as defined in “Item 1A. – Risk Factors” below) and related transactions and to realize the expected benefits from the Merger;


•	failure to ensure on-going compliance with current and future laws and government regulations, including but not limited to environmental and tax and accounting laws, rules and regulations; and


•	limited access to capital or significantly higher cost of capital related to liquidity or uncertainty in the domestic or international financial markets.

Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in our other filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Securities Act. For additional information regarding risks and uncertainties, see our other filings with the SEC. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are made available free of charge on our web site www.weatherford.com under “Investor Relations” as soon as reasonably practicable after we have electronically filed the material with, or furnished it to, the SEC.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. This information is collected and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

Our management identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

See “Note 15 – Disputes, Litigation and Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

An investment in our securities involves various risks. You should consider carefully all of the risk factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part I, under the heading “Item 1A. – Risk Factors” and other information included and incorporated by reference in this report. We have updated our risk factors affecting our business since those presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, under the heading “Item 1A. – Risk Factors” for the year ended December 31, 2013. Except for the risk factors updated, there have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our updated risk factors are included below.

The anticipated benefits of the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Weatherford Switzerland into Weatherford International Limited, a newly-formed private Irish limited company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Weatherford Ireland”) may not be realized.

We may not realize the benefits we anticipate from the corporate reorganization of Weatherford Switzerland, our current Swiss public holding company, and the group of companies it controls with the merger into Weatherford Ireland. Our failure to realize those benefits could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, as we intend to maintain our Swiss tax residency we do not anticipate any change in taxes as a result of the redomestication.

Our significant operations in foreign countries expose us to currency fluctuation risks or devaluation.

In early 2014, the Venezuelan government announced its intent to expand the types of transactions that would be subject to the Venezuela’s Complementary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (“SICAD”) rate, and created a National Center of Foreign Commerce (“CENCOEX”) that would absorb changes to the existing multiple currency exchange rate mechanisms that may be available for a company to exchange funds. In February, the government officially dissolved CADIVI and established CENCOEX, giving them the authority to determine the sectors that will be allowed to buy U.S. dollars in SICAD auctions, and subsequently introduced a more accessible SICAD 2 daily auction exchange market. In March 2014, SICAD 2, a market-based, state-run exchange, was initiated by the Central Bank of Venezuela. Because we have sufficient Venezuelan bolivars fuertes (“bolivars”) to settle our bolivar denominated obligations and similarly sufficient U.S. dollars to settle our U.S. dollar denominated obligations, we currently have no forecasted need to participate in the auction-based SICAD exchanges nor sufficient indication that we will ultimately be required to participate in those exchanges and as such, will continue to utilize the rate published in the primary CADIVI/CENCOEX exchange at March 31, 2014 which is 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar. The other two legal exchange rates are approximately 11 and 50 Venezuelan bolivars, respectively, to the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2014, we had a net monetary asset position denominated in Venezuelan bolivars of approximately $233 million, comprised primarily of accounts receivable and current liabilities. Management is closely monitoring the applicability and viability of this new exchange system.

As a result, we are subject to significant risks, including foreign currency exchange risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the implementation of exchange controls and limitations on our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of our operations in other countries.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Under our equity incentive plans, we withhold registered shares to satisfy minimum statutory federal, state and local tax withholding obligations arising on the vesting of restricted stock awards and performance units and the exercise of options. When we withhold these shares, we are required to remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the market price of the shares withheld, which could be deemed a purchase of shares by us on the date of withholding. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we withheld shares to satisfy these tax withholding obligations as follows:



Period	No. of Shares		Average Price
January 1 - January 31, 2014		20,635	$	14.86
February 1 - February 28, 2014		287,051		15.08
