HOUSTON & LONDON (April 23, 2024) – Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) (Baker Hughes or the Company) announced results today for the first quarter of 2024.
"2024 has gotten off to a good start for Baker Hughes. Our solid first quarter results put us on a path toward achieving our full-year guidance and continue to build on the momentum from last year as we execute our strategy," said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer.
"We have started the year positively on the orders front. This is particularly evident in the IET segment, where we booked $2.9 billion of orders during the quarter, including large awards from Aramco for the Master Gas System 3 and Black & Veatch for Cedar LNG."
"We delivered strong first quarter operating results, highlighted by 50% year-over-year Adjusted EPS growth. Importantly, we exceeded the midpoint of our EBITDA margin guidance, driven by outstanding operational performance in the IET segment. We also booked $239 million of new energy orders and generated more than $500 million of free cash flow."
"We also continue to enhance returns to our shareholders. During the quarter, we increased our quarterly dividend by one penny to 21 cents, which represents an 11% increase year-over-year, repurchased $158 million of shares and remain firmly on-track to deliver 60% - 80% of free cash flow to shareholders."
"I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment to achieve our goals, delivering for our customers, and driving the Company forward," concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights
The Oilfield Service and Equipment ("OFSE") segment secured two significant, multi-year awards for on- and offshore services from Petrobras in the first quarter, demonstrating continued momentum in the country. The first contract will have Baker Hughes provide integrated well construction services across three rigs in the Buzios field offshore Brazil. The second contract will help Petrobras optimize efficiency, reliability and sustainability of its onshore operations in the Bahia-Terra cluster, where artificial lift services will be deployed across 450 wells. The scope of work includes electrical submersible pumps, variable speed drives and sand separation.
OFSE also saw strong demand for its LucidaTM advanced rotary steerable service during the first quarter, with three separate contracts across North American land. Pursuant to the first award, OFSE will utilize Lucida in approximately 100 wells for EQT in the U.S. Appalachian Basin. The other two contracts will deploy Lucida in the Midland and Delaware Basins, as well as the Denver-Julesburg Basin in the Rockies.
The Industrial and Energy Technology ("IET") segment continued to demonstrate its leadership in gas technology. Major awards in the first quarter include Gas Technology Equipment for the third phase of Saudi Arabia’s Master Gas System project (MGS3), awarded by Worley on behalf of Aramco. Baker Hughes will supply 17 centrifugal compressors driven by our state-of-the-art aeroderivative gas turbines for the new 4,000-km pipeline. This new gas distribution project is expected to accelerate the switch from oil to gas for domestic power generation and contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in the Kingdom.
IET was also awarded a Gas Technology Equipment order from Black & Veatch to supply Cedar LNG in Canada with an electric-driven liquefaction technology solution. Baker Hughes will supply a range of turbomachinery equipment to the project, which is powered by renewable electricity and is expected to be one of the lowest carbon intensity LNG facilities in the world.

IET secured three important on- and offshore production orders from Tecnimont (MAIRE) and the joint venture between National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) and Saipem to support the development of natural gas fields in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. These awards, which include advanced compression and will see Baker Hughes supplying 11 centrifugal compressors, will support onshore and offshore operations.
Strong order momentum continues for IET’s Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS"). During the quarter, Baker Hughes received an award from Snam for compression trains driven by hydrogen-ready NovaLT12™ turbines to support a new gas compressor station in Italy that will eventually transport additional energy supplies from Azerbaijan, Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean region to Northern Europe. IET also booked a CTS contract to supply the Company's ICL zero-emissions integrated compressor technology that will be deployed by TotalEnergies in its Aguada Pichana process plant in the Vaca Muerta region of Argentina.
Furthermore, IET secured a CTS order from a key Middle Eastern industrial company for the refurbishment of steam turbines and centrifugal compressor trains. This upgrade drives process efficiency improvement and 5% CO2 estimated emissions reduction as part of the customer's energy transition roadmap.
Also in the first quarter, IET Industrial Solutions saw increased adoption of its CordantTM suite of digital solutions, receiving several multi-year awards to support a large LNG installation in the Middle East; expand upon an existing installation for a renewable energy customer's wind and hydro facilities in Latin America; and deploy Asset Performance Management solutions to maximize uptime and increase production for a customer's offshore operations in the Middle East.

year-over-year. Total segment operating income was $752 million for the first quarter of 2024, down 17% sequentially and up 23% year-over-year.
Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) for the first quarter of 2024 was $660 million, which excludes adjustments totaling $7 million before tax. A complete list of the adjusting items and associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1a in the section titled "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures." Adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2024 was down 19% sequentially and up 29% year-over-year.

See Table 1b in the section titled "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures." Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was down 14% sequentially and up 21% year-over-year.
The sequential decrease in adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA was driven by lower volume and negative mix in IET and OFSE, partially offset by higher productivity. The year-over-year increase in adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA was driven by volume and pricing in both segments and structural cost-out initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation in both segments, and higher equipment mix and higher R&D spend in IET.
Corporate costs were $92 million in the first quarter of 2024, up 4% sequentially and down 8% year-over-year.
Other Financial Items
Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) in the first quarter ended at $32.7 billion, a decrease of $0.8 billion from the fourth quarter of 2023.

Baker Hughes Company Announces First-Quarter 2024 Results | |||||
IET orders of $2,918 million for the first quarter decreased by $615 million, or 17% year-over-year. The decrease was driven primarily by the timing of Gas Technology Equipment orders which were down $480 million, or 28% year-over-year.
IET revenue of $2,634 million for the quarter increased $496 million, or 23% year-over-year. The increase was driven primarily by Gas Technology Equipment, up $379 million or 46% year-over-year.
Segment operating income before tax for the quarter was $330 million, up 37% year-over-year. Segment EBITDA for the quarter was $386 million, up $89 million, or 30% year-over-year. The year-over-year increase in segment operating income and EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume, pricing and structural cost-out initiatives partially offset by unfavorable mix as a result of higher Gas Technology Equipment growth, cost inflation and higher R&D spend.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management provides non-GAAP financial measures because it believes such measures are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance (including adjusted operating income; EBITDA; EBITDA margin; adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income attributable to Baker Hughes; and adjusted diluted earnings per share) and liquidity (free cash flow) and that these measures may be used by investors to make informed investment decisions. Management believes that the exclusion of certain identified items from several key operating performance measures enables us to evaluate our operations more effectively, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals for certain management compensation purposes. Management also believes that free cash flow is an important supplemental measure of our cash performance but should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
