Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect:
•the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and
•the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2021 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Note 3. Revenue
Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our two reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold, 39 % and 47 % of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and products in exchange for consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of receivables and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance consideration received from customers for contracts where revenue is recognized on future performance of service. Deferred revenue, as well as revenue recognized during the period relating to amounts included as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We have some long-term contracts related to software and integrated project management services such as lump sum turnkey contracts. For software contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time throughout the license period when the software is considered to be a right to access our intellectual property. For lump sum turnkey projects, we recognize revenue over time using an input method, which requires us to exercise judgment. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for these long-term contracts is not material.
Receivables
As of March 31, 2021, 33 % of our net trade receivables were from customers in the United States. As of December 31, 2020, 32 % of our net trade receivables were from customers in the United States. No 10

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal or governmental proceedings, claims or investigations, including personal injury, property damage, environmental, commercial, and tax-related matters, arising in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. There is inherent risk in any litigation, claim or investigation, and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these proceedings.
Guarantee arrangements
In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $1.9 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization. None of these off balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 8. Income per Share
Basic income or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be antidilutive.
A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share computations is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | ||||||||
| Millions of shares | 2021 | 2020 | ||||||
| Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | ||||||||
| Dilutive effect of awards granted under our stock incentive plans | ||||||||

The fair value and carrying value of our debt decreased in the first quarter of 2021 due to rising yields and the repayment of senior debentures. See Note 5 for further information.
Our debt categorized within level 1 on the fair value hierarchy is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities with transactions occurring on the last two days of period-end. Our debt categorized within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy is calculated using significant observable inputs for similar liabilities where estimated values are determined from observable data points on our other bonds and on other similarly rated corporate debt or from observable data points of transactions occurring prior to two days from period-end and adjusting for changes in market conditions. Differences between the periods presented in our level 1 and level 2 classification of our long-term debt relate to the timing of when third party market transactions on our debt are executed.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" contained herein.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Organization
We are one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. We help our customers maximize value throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir - from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production throughout the life of the asset. Activity levels within our operations are significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development and production programs by major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies. We report our results under two segments, the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment:
•our Completion and Production segment delivers cementing, stimulation, intervention, pressure control, artificial lift, and completion products and services. The segment consists of Production Enhancement, Cementing, Completion Tools, Production Solutions, Artificial Lift, and Pipeline and Process Services.
•our Drilling and Evaluation segment provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, fluids and specialty chemicals, evaluation and precise wellbore placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, drill, and optimize their well construction activities. The segment consists of Baroid, Sperry Drilling, Wireline and Perforating, Drill Bits and Services, Landmark Software and Services, Testing and Subsea, and Project Management.
The business operations of our segments are organized around four primary geographic regions: North America, Latin America, Europe/Africa/CIS, and Middle East/Asia. We have manufacturing operations in various locations, the most significant of which are in the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. With approximately 40,000 employees, we operate in more than 70 countries around the world, and our corporate headquarters is in Houston, Texas.
The following charts depict the company's revenue split between our two operating segments and our four primary geographic regions for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
COVID-19 pandemic and market conditions update
The oil and gas industry continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are signs that the world is beginning to reopen and that overall economic and demand recovery is building. Demand for oil has increased globally as oil inventories were down in March 2021 near their five-year averages, and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the expanded alliance, collectively known as OPEC+, actions continued to support commodity prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil spot prices have recovered to pre-pandemic levels, averaging approximately $58 per barrel during the first quarter of 2021. The U.S. land average rig count continues to be well below pre-pandemic levels, but rose 27% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The international average rig count increased 5% over the same period.

Financial results
The financial results for the first quarter of 2021 reflect the reduced year over year activity experienced in various locations around the world as compared to pre-pandemic levels. The following graph illustrates our revenue and operating margins for each operating segment for the first quarter of 2020 and 2021.
During the first quarter of 2021, we generated total company revenue of $3.5 billion, a 31% decrease as compared to the first quarter of 2020. We reported operating income of $370 million during the first quarter of 2021. This compares to an operating loss of $571 million during the first quarter of 2020 that was driven by $1.1 billion of impairments and other charges. Our Completion and Production segment revenue decreased 37% from the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to a global reduction in pressure pumping activity, completion tools sales, and well intervention services, coupled with lower artificial lift services in North America land. Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue decreased 24% from the first quarter of 2020, driven by global reductions in drilling-related services, wireline activity, and testing services, as well as lower project management activity in Middle East/Asia. Even with decreased activity, our operating margins in both of our operating segments improved in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2020 as we implemented initiatives to lower our cost of service delivery and achieved other cost savings.
Revenue in our international markets decreased 21% in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by reduced activity across multiple product service lines in the Eastern Hemisphere, along with lower project management activity in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and India, and decreased stimulation services in Middle East/Asia. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased stimulation services in Argentina, Mexico, and Kuwait, fluid services in the Caribbean, and completion tools sales in Norway.
In North America, our revenue decreased 43% in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020, driven by reduced activity and pricing in North America land, primarily associated with pressure pumping services, drilling-related services, completion tools sales, and artificial lift, coupled with lower activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Canada. Although both of our segments' revenue decreased in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, both outperformed the approximately 51% decline in the average U.S. land rig count for the same periods.
Business outlook
Our value proposition is to collaborate and engineer solutions to maximize asset value for our customers. We strive to achieve strong cash flows and returns for our shareholders by delivering technology and services that improve efficiency, increase recovery, and maximize production for our customers. Our strategic priorities are to:
-deliver profitable growth in our international business;
-drive strategic changes that maximize cash flows in our leaner North America business;
-accelerate the deployment and integration of our digital technologies, both internally and with our customers;
-improve capital efficiency by advancing our technologies and making strategic choices that lower our capital expenditure profile; and
-actively participate in advancing a sustainable energy future.

| Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview | ||||||||
While the continued uncertainty around COVID-19 mitigation, global vaccine distribution, and re-opening efforts make demand for oil and gas difficult to project, we believe demand is recovering and prices will be positively impacted. As operators around the world look for ways to improve efficiencies and reduce costs, we believe our digital solutions can assist our customers, and us by creating technological differentiation, contributing to higher margins, and driving internal efficiencies. Throughout the expected recovery, we intend to maintain our commitment to safety and service quality for our customers and continue to focus on generating returns and cash flow.
Internationally, we believe the recovery will gain momentum across all regions through the remainder of 2021 and that international markets will experience multiple years of growth. We consider completion tool orders to be indicators of future growth activity and these orders continue to grow, primarily with National Oil Companies (NOCs) in the Middle East, followed by Latin America. We expect that NOCs and other international producers will increase investments to meet expected future oil demand growth. Our production businesses continue to expand and our ongoing investment in technology innovations for those businesses continues to increase. This should provide growth opportunities in artificial lift solutions in the Middle East as many mature fields across the region come off natural flow and will require enhanced oil recovery methods, such as our electric submersible pumps (ESP), to sustain production. Also, as we progress towards completing our specialty chemicals plant in Saudi Arabia, we are actively participating in regional tendering activity. In addition to providing new business opportunities, this plant will manufacture chemicals for our internal consumption. We expect the new plant to deliver cost savings and profitable growth for us in 2022 and beyond.
In North America, we expect improved margin performance based on utilization, technology, and pricing. We expect that supportive commodity prices should allow our customers to spend their announced capital budgets and meet their cash flow objectives in 2021. However, activity throughout the year should be steady, as operators work to maintain their productive capacity. We believe that aligning ourselves with customers that have longer-term, efficient programs will allow us to optimize utilization of our equipment base as demand grows. Also, we see positive signs of an equipment supply and demand rebalancing that should drive future pricing improvements. Total fracturing equipment capacity has limited room to grow in the current pricing environment, and we believe continued attrition from rising service intensity and insufficient returns for many service companies is altering the industry dynamics. Lastly, technological differentiation and digital innovation is expected to command a premium as market demand for these solutions expands.
We are also continuing to pursue our strategic initiatives around advancing cleaner, affordable energy, and to support sustainable energy advancements, using innovation and technology to reduce the environmental impact of producing oil and gas. We recently released our target to achieve 40% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035 from the 2018 baseline. This is consistent with our goal to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of our operations and follows our commitment to set science-based targets. We are also continuing to develop and deploy low-carbon solutions to help oil and gas operators lower their current emissions profiles while also using our existing technologies in renewable energy applications. Finally, we are excited about the progress of Halliburton Labs, our clean energy accelerator. In the first quarter of 2021, we announced Halliburton Labs’ inaugural group of participating companies. They are working on solutions for transforming organic and plastic waste to renewable power; recycling of lithium-ion batteries; and converting carbon dioxide, water, and renewable electricity into a hydrogen-rich platform chemical. We are collaborating with these companies and providing world-class industrial capabilities and expertise to help them achieve further scale and increase their valuations. This engagement in the clean energy space will inform our future strategic decisions as the energy transition evolves.
During the first three months of 2021, we had $104 million of capital expenditures, a decrease of 51% from the first three months of 2020, as we adjusted to market conditions. We expect our full year 2021 capital expenditures will be approximately $750 million, flat when compared to 2020. We believe this level of spend will allow us to invest in accordance with our key strategic priorities, while continuing to rationalize our business to market conditions.
Our operating performance and business outlook are described in more detail in “Business Environment and Results of Operations.”
Financial markets, liquidity, and capital resources
We believe we have invested our cash balances conservatively and secured sufficient financing to help mitigate any near-term negative impact on our operations from adverse market conditions. We believe we have a very manageable debt maturity profile, with approximately $2.1 billion coming due through 2026, including $500 million due in November 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we had $2.4 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.5 billion of available committed bank credit under our revolving credit facility. We believe this provides us with sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market. For additional information on market conditions, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Business Environment and Results of Operations.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2021, we had $2.4 billion of cash and equivalents, compared to $2.6 billion of cash and equivalents at December 31, 2020.
Significant sources and uses of cash during the first three months of 2021
Sources of cash:
•Cash flows from operating activities were $203 million. This included a positive impact from the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories, and accounts payable) of a net $59 million.
Uses of cash:
•In February 2021, we repaid the $185 million principal balance of our 8.75% senior debentures that matured.
•Capital expenditures were $104 million.
•We paid $40 million in dividends to our shareholders.
Future sources and uses of cash
We manufacture most of our own equipment, which allows flexibility to increase or decrease our capital expenditures based on market conditions. We expect capital spending for the full year 2021 will be $750 million, flat when compared to 2020. We believe this level of spend will allow us to invest in accordance with our key strategic priorities, while continuing to rationalize our business to market conditions. We intend to continue to maintain capital discipline, monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics, and adjust capital spending accordingly.
Our 3.25% senior notes will mature in November 2021. We expect to repay the $500 million principal amount due by the maturity date.
Our quarterly dividend rate is $0.045 per common share, or approximately $40 million. We will continue to maintain our focus on liquidity and review our quarterly dividend considering our priorities of debt reduction and, as market conditions evolve, reinvesting in our business.
Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. No repurchases occurred this quarter under this program. Approximately $5.1 billion remained authorized for repurchases as of March 31, 2021 and may be used for open market and other share purchases.
Other factors affecting liquidity
Financial position in current market. As of March 31, 2021, we had $2.4 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.5 billion of available committed bank credit under our revolving credit facility. Furthermore, we have no financial covenants or material adverse change provisions in our bank agreements, and our debt maturities extend over a long period of time. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and our available credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market and our global cash needs, including capital expenditures, working capital investments, dividends, if any, and contingent liabilities.
Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $1.9 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization, however, none of these triggering events have occurred.
Credit ratings. Our credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s (S&P) remain BBB+ for our long-term debt and A-2 for our short-term debt, with a negative outlook. Our credit ratings with Moody’s Investors Service (Moody's) remain Baa1 for our long-term debt and P-2 for our short-term debt, although Moody's changed the outlook for our rating from negative to stable in the first quarter of 2021.

Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to risk that our customers may delay or fail to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets, as well as unsettled political conditions. Given the nature and significance of the pandemic and disruption in the oil and gas industry, we have experienced delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.

| Part I. Item 2 | Business Environment and Results of Operations | ||||||||
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We operate in more than 70 countries throughout the world to provide a comprehensive range of services and products to the energy industry. Our revenue is generated from the sale of services and products to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide. The industry we serve is highly competitive with many substantial competitors in each segment of our business. During the first three months of 2021, based upon the location of the services provided and products sold, 39% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States, compared to 47% of consolidated revenue from the United States in the first three months of 2020. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.
Operations in some countries may be adversely affected by unsettled political conditions, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, force majeure, war or other armed conflict, sanctions, expropriation or other governmental actions, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency exchange restrictions and highly inflationary currencies, as well as other geopolitical factors. We believe the geographic diversification of our business activities reduces the risk that an interruption of operations in any one country, other than the United States, would be materially adverse to our consolidated results of operations.
Activity within our business segments is significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development and production programs by our customers. Also impacting our activity is the status of the global economy, which impacts oil and natural gas consumption. The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate its effect have had a substantial negative impact on the global economy and demand for oil.
Some of the more significant determinants of current and future spending levels of our customers are oil and natural gas prices and our customers' expectations about future prices, global oil supply and demand, completions intensity, the world economy, the availability of capital, government regulation, and global stability, which together drive worldwide drilling and completions activity. Additionally, many of our customers in North America have shifted their strategy from production growth to operating within cash flow and generating returns. Lower oil and natural gas prices usually translate into lower exploration and production budgets and lower rig count, while the opposite is usually true for higher oil and natural gas prices. Our financial performance is therefore significantly affected by oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.
The table below shows the average oil and natural gas prices for WTI, United Kingdom Brent crude oil, and Henry Hub natural gas.

| Part I. Item 2 | Business Environment and Results of Operations | ||||||||
Demand for oil has increased globally as oil inventories were down in March 2021 near their five-year averages, and OPEC+ actions continued to support commodity prices. The International Energy Agency's (IEA) April 2021 "Oil Market Report" forecasts global oil demand to reach 96.7 million barrels per day in 2021, an increase of 5.7 million barrels per day from 2020. There has been a dramatic improvement in the oil market since the pandemic's earliest months, with the average Brent crude price in the first quarter of 2021 approximately 20% higher per barrel compared to the average price during the first quarter of 2020. Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $65 per barrel in March 2021, up $3 per barrel from February 2021, and up $33 per barrel from March 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We believe that rising Brent prices in March 2021 reflect expectations of rising oil demand as both COVID-19 vaccination rates and global economic activity increased, combined with ongoing crude oil production limits from members of OPEC+.
Despite the potential for nearer term increases in demand and pricing, in its April 2021 "Short Term Energy Outlook," the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected WTI prices to average $62 per barrel in the second quarter of 2021, and $59 per barrel for the full year 2021, with a further decrease to $57 per barrel in 2022. Brent prices are projected to average $65 per barrel during the second quarter of 2021, and decline to $60 per barrel during the second half of the year 2021, resulting in a full year 2021 average price of $62 per barrel. Brent prices are forecasted to average $60 per barrel in 2022.
The EIA projects crude oil production in the United States will average 10.9 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2021 and increase to an average of almost 11.4 million barrels per day by the fourth quarter of 2021. U.S. crude oil production is expected to average 11.9 million barrels per day in 2022.
The Henry Hub natural gas spot price averaged $3.56 per MMBtu in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to $1.91 per MMBtu in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of $1.65 per MMBtu, or 86%. The EIA April 2021 “Short Term Energy Outlook” projects Henry Hub natural gas prices to average $3.04 per MMBtu in 2021 and $3.11 per MMBtu in 2022.
International operations
The average international rig count for the first quarter of 2021 was down 35% compared to the first quarter of 2020. We believe, however, that international activity will gain momentum across all regions in the second quarter of 2021, and continue to increase in the second half of 2021. We are seeing early indicators of future activity growth. We consider completion tool orders to be a leading indicator of upcoming work. These orders have grown throughout the first quarter of 2021. We believe our current strengths and new capabilities will allow us to deliver profitable growth as international activity increases and that our ongoing investments in technology will be beneficial as the market recovers. We expect to continue the geographical expansion of our production businesses, which should also provide us with growth opportunities. Finally, we are accelerating the deployment and integration of digital technologies with our customers.
North America operations
The average U.S. land rig count for the first quarter of 2021 was down 51%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. However, the average U.S. land rig count increased 27% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting from shale operators having a larger portfolio of economically viable projects within the current oil price environment. We expect our customers to remain committed to a disciplined capital program this year. Higher utilization and our significant operating leverage supported sequential margin expansion, despite weather disruptions.

Consolidated revenue was $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1.6 billion, or 31%, as compared to the first quarter of 2020. Consolidated operating income was $370 million during the first quarter of 2021, a 165% increase from operating loss of $571 million during the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower activity and pricing in North America land, primarily associated with pressure pumping services, drilling-related services, and artificial lift, as well as reduced wireline activity and completion tools sales across all regions. The increase in operating income was in part due to the negative impact on first quarter 2020 operating income from $1.1 billion of impairments and other charges that were included in the results of that quarter. Revenue from North America was 41% of consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 49% of consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2020.
Operating Segments
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $1.9 billion, a decrease of $1.1 billion, or 37%, when compared to the first quarter of 2020, while operating income was $252 million, a decrease of $93 million, or 27%. These results were primarily due to a global reduction in pressure pumping activity, completion tools sales, and well intervention services, coupled with lower artificial lift in North America land. Partially offsetting the overall decline were increased stimulation activity in Argentina, Mexico, and Kuwait and higher completion tools sales in Norway.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $1.6 billion, a decrease of $494 million, or 24% when compared to the first quarter of 2020, while operating income was $171 million, a decrease of $46 million, or 21%. These results were driven by global reductions in drilling-related services, wireline activity, and testing services, together with lower project management activity in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and India. Partially offsetting the overall decline were increased fluid services in the Caribbean, project management services in Mexico, and drilling services in China, Kuwait, and Brazil.

| Part I. Item 2 | Results of Operations in 2021 Compared to 2020 (QTD) | |||||
Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $1.4 billion, a 43% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2020. This decline was mainly due to reduced activity and pricing in North America land, primarily associated with pressure pumping services, drilling-related services, artificial lift, wireline activity, and completion tools sales, coupled with lower activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Canada.
Latin America
Latin America revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $535 million, a 4% increase compared to the first quarter of 2020, resulting from increased stimulation activity in Argentina and Mexico, fluid services in the Caribbean, project management services in Mexico, and drilling services in Brazil. Partly offsetting these increases were reduced activity across multiple product service lines in Colombia, as well as lower well construction activity in Mexico.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $634 million, a 24% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2020, resulting primarily from decreased well construction activity, completion tools sales, and testing services across the region, coupled with lower well intervention services in Algeria and Nigeria. Wireline activity also declined in the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Egypt. Completion tools sales improved in the North Sea to partially offset the declines in the region.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $878 million, a 29% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2020, largely resulting from a decline in activity across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Oman, together with lower project management and well construction activity in Iraq and India. Also, completion tools sales fell across the region along with well construction in Indonesia and pressure pumping in Australia. Partly offsetting these declines were higher stimulation activity in Kuwait and Bangladesh and drilling services in China and Kuwait.
Nonoperating Items
Effective tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a total income tax provision of $52 million on a pre-tax income of $223 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.5% for the quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a total income tax provision of $119 million on a pre-tax loss of $896 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of -13.3%. The unusual rate was largely the result of recording a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, primarily due to unprecedented disruption in the oil and gas industry.
