Q118 adj. EPS of $0.41 beats by a penny

Q118 EPS of $0.41 beat consensus/AE at $0.40, with the beat versus AE driven by a lower tax rate (21% vs 23%E) and lower non-operating costs (by $5m vs AE). Margin weakness in N. American fraccing due to weather-related rail deliveries of fracc sand had been previously flagged by HAL, and commentary indicates most, if not all, of the issues are behind them. YoY revenue growth of 58% in North America and 9% in International markets was higher than at SLB (52% and -1%, respectively), although given differences in scale, business mix and project timing, we hesitate to ascribe HAL's higher growth to profitable market share gains.
