NEW YORK — Halliburton Co.'s fourth-quarter net income rose 19 percent, led by growth in its international operations.

The oilfield-services company earned $793 million, or 93 cents per share, for the three months ended Dec. 31. That compares with $669 million, or 72 cents per share, a year earlier.

Income from continuing operations was 90 cents per share. When removing restructuring charges, it was 93 cents per share.

Revenue increased 5 percent to $7.64 billion from $7.29 billion, with strength in its Middle East/Asia and Europe/Africa/Commonwealth of Independent States regions. The latter region includes countries such as Russia and the Ukraine.
