"Halliburton reported that revenue was $15.3 billion for the full year 2007, an increase of 18% from the full year 2006, and operating income was $3.5 billion, an increase of 8% from the full year 2006. Income from continuing operations for the full year 2007 was $2.5 billion, or $2.66 per diluted share, compared to 2006 income from continuing operations of $2.2 billion, or $2.07 per diluted share. 2007 earnings per share were positively impacted by improved operating performance, a lower share count, and the favorable income tax impact from the ability to recognize United States foreign tax credits that were previously assumed not to be fully utilizable. Net income in 2007 was $3.5 billion, or $3.68 per diluted share, compared to 2006 net income of $2.3 billion, or $2.23 per diluted share. Income from discontinued operations in 2007 included a net gain of $933 million recorded for the separation of KBR, Inc.
Halliburton's consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $4.2 billion, up 19% from the fourth quarter of 2006. This increase was attributable to increased worldwide activity, particularly in the Eastern Hemisphere."
