HAL 2023 FORM 10-K | 45







Question: Analyze the asset turnover ratio for Halliburton from 2021 to 2023 and discuss its implications on the company's utilization of its assets to generate revenue.
Answer: The asset turnover ratio is calculated using the formula: Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Total Assets. For Halliburton, net sales are equivalent to total revenue.

Total revenue for Halliburton over the years is as follows:
- 2023: $23,018 million
- 2022: $20,297 million
- 2021: $15,295 million

The average total assets for each year can be calculated as the average of the beginning and ending total assets for that year. However, the beginning total assets for 2021 is not provided, so we will use the ending total assets of the previous year as the beginning total assets for the current year.

- Average Total Assets 2023: ($23,255 million + $24,683 million) / 2 = $23,969 million
- Average Total Assets 2022: ($23,255 million + $23,255 million) / 2 = $23,255 million
- Average Total Assets 2021: ($23,255 million + $23,255 million) / 2 = $23,255 million

Using these values, the asset turnover ratios are:
- 2023: $23,018 million / $23,969 million = 0.96
- 2022: $20,297 million / $23,255 million = 0.87
- 2021: $15,295 million / $23,255 million = 0.66
