Total revenue decreased by 7% from $5.804 billion to $5.417 billion, primarily due to decreased activity in the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment. Management attributes this to lower spending by customers in North America and internationally.
Operating income decreased by 56% from $987 million to $431 million. This was significantly impacted by $356 million in impairments and other charges, primarily related to severance costs and asset impairments. Excluding these charges, operating income would have been $787 million, still down year-over-year.
Net income decreased from $609 million to $203 million. This decline is attributable to the lower revenue and the significant impairment and other charges recorded during the quarter. Basic and diluted net income per share decreased from $0.68 to $0.24.
