The Pervert LAWSUITS TRANSLATE TO LOSSES FOR HALLIBURTON THE buttOCIATED PRESS, Bloomberg April 29, 2004 Halliburton Co. reported a first-quarter net loss of $65 million yesterday because of charges related to a pending settlement of asbestos claims. The oilfield services conglomerate's net loss of 15 cents per share compared with net income of $43 million, or a dime a share, in the year-ago period. But revenues for the quarter were $5.5 billion, up 80 percent from $3.1 billion in the January-March period of 2003. That gain was largely attributed to revenues for Halliburton subsidiary KBR, formerly known as Kellogg, Brown & Root, and its government contract work in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. Halliburton said the company's Iraq-related work contributed about $2.1 billion in revenues and $32 million in operating income. Nevertheless, KBR posted an operating loss of $15 million, down from $19 million a year earlier. Some analysts say that despite an overall solid performance, investors could be skittish until the so-called "headline risk" begins to abate. "It's not causing a problem, but it has caused the stock to underperform," said Robert Mackenzie, an analyst with Friedman, Billings, Ramsey.
