“We were very pleased to end 2022 with solid momentum across our two business segments. In the fourth quarter, we saw continued margin improvement in our OFSE business and an extremely strong level of orders for IET, which was driven by multiple awards across different end markets. 2022 was an important year for Baker Hughes on a number of fronts. Most notably, we took a large step forward in re-shaping the company as we announced a formal restructuring and re-segmentation of Baker Hughes into two business segments. This kicked off a major transformation effort across the organization, including key executive management changes, which will fundamentally improve the way the company operates,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer.

“In 2023, the global economy is expected to experience some challenges under the weight of inflationary pressures and tightening monetary conditions. Despite recessionary pressures in some of the world’s largest economies, we maintain a positive outlook for the energy sector, given supply shortages appear likely to persist. With years of under investment now being amplified by recent geopolitical factors, global spare capacity for oil and gas has deteriorated and will likely require years of investment growth to meet forecasted future demand.”

“Given this macro backdrop, Baker Hughes is intensely focused on four key areas in 2023 in order to drive future value for shareholders. First, we are well positioned to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities that are building across both business segments. Second, we remain focused on optimizing our corporate structure and transforming the Baker Hughes organization to drive improvements in our margin and returns profile. Third, we continue to develop our portfolio of new energy technologies. Fourth, we will continue to focus on all these initiatives and generating strong free cash flow and returning 60 to 80% of this free cash flow to shareholders through a combination of dividends and opportunistic share buybacks,” concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights

Supporting our Customers

The OFSE business segment secured several Integrated Well Services & Solutions (IWS&S) contracts with a leading national oil company in the Middle East. Baker Hughes will provide one of the largest new offshore multi-service projects, deploying services and equipment on multiple rigs. Additionally, multiple onshore well construction contracts for the same customer will provide the full scope of technologies and services from the IWS&S offering, including drill bits, drilling and completion fluids, cementing, directional drilling, wireline, coiled tubing, tubular running, and third-party management and associated services for 10 rigs.

OFSE secured several contracts with a major Latin American national oil company for shallow water exploration and land development. These multi-year agreements enable Baker Hughes to offer a full array of high pressure/high temperature IWS&S products and services.

The IET business segment saw continued growth in liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand. Baker Hughes was awarded a contract by Venture Global LNG to provide a LNG system with 12 modularized compression trains at the Plaquemines LNG II project in Louisiana, building upon a third-quarter contract for Baker Hughes to provide the project with power generation equipment. The project follows a similar gas technology order for Venture Global’s Plaquemines I project, previously announced in March 2022. The contract was awarded under a master equipment supply agreement between Venture Global LNG and Baker Hughes for 70 million tons per annum (MTPA) of production capacity.

IET secured several services contracts, including an eight-year maintenance services contract in North America for Venture Global LNG’s Calcasieu Pass LNG facility. IET also secured a contract with Basrah Gas Company (BGC) in Iraq to provide in-country field services, a resident team, a provision of local spares, and repair for multiple BGC facilities to ensure asset reliability and support Iraq’s energy independence goals.

The IET Gas Technology Equipment & Projects product line maintained its Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) market leadership with several offshore topside contracts for five different projects in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. IET will provide power generation systems, compression trains and pumps including a combined cycle system for a Latin American customer, totaling more than 30 aeroderivative gas turbines, two steam turbines and 20 compressors of various sizes.

In IET’s Condition Monitoring product line, Bently Nevada continued driving digitization for its customers with a contract from an international oil company to monitor and optimize the health of its assets across more than 20 sites and four regions across the globe. The contract includes an enterprise-wide software upgrade with additional System 1 licenses, advanced analytics, a multi-year maintenance and support agreement, and services for data migration and replication.

IET’s Inspection product line, Waygate Technologies achieved significant commercial wins in the recovering aviation segment, including a record deal for visual inspection services in Latin America, as well as orders for advanced ultrasonic testing systems with multiple customers in Asia Pacific.

Executing on Priorities and Leading with Innovation

The fourth quarter further advanced Baker Hughes’ strategic commitment to position for new energy frontiers by securing new opportunities for traditional oil and gas customers to deploy lower carbon and geothermal solutions.

IET secured a contract from Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering to supply carbon dioxide compression equipment to PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd.’s Kasawari offshore carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project in Sarawak, Malaysia. The project is expected to be the world’s largest offshore CCS facility, with capacity to reduce CO2 emissions by 3.3 MTPA.

OFSE secured multiple Reservoir and Technical Services contracts for subsurface evaluation and modeling, including a Louisiana project designed to store 10 MTPA of CO2, as well as a separate Louisiana project for front-end engineering for well design. OFSE will also provide the same services for a North Dakota facility designed to store 5 MTPA of captured CO2.

IET continued to support the growth of the hydrogen economy, securing two new contracts with Air Products. As part of the companies’ previously announced hydrogen collaboration framework in 2021, Baker Hughes will supply reciprocating compressors for liquid hydrogen for Air Products’ net-zero hydrogen energy complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, as well as for a green hydrogen import terminal in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. IET also secured a third contract with Air Products to provide Bently Nevada’s Orbit 60 condition monitoring system to monitor critical compressors for the world’s largest green hydrogen project at NEOM in Saudi Arabia.

In another first, IET advanced the hydrogen economy with the successful completion of tests using hydrogen to power gas turbines at one of Snam’s natural gas compression stations in Istrana, Italy. The experiment demonstrated the compatibility of Baker Hughes’ NovaLT12 and PGT25 gas turbines with the blending hydrogen and natural gas. The introduction of hydrogen in increasing quantities in Snam’s current fleet will allow for a greater reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the use of natural gas alone.

Former Segments - Fourth Quarter 2022 Summary Results

In the third quarter of 2022, we announced a reorganization of the Company to go from four segments to two operating segments. Effective October 1, 2022, the two operating segments, also our reportable segments, are Oilfield Services & Equipment (“OFSE”) and Industrial & Energy Technology (“IET”). Through this reorganization, we merged the Oilfield Services segment with the Oilfield Equipment segment to form the OFSE segment, and we merged the Turbomachinery & Process Solutions segment with the Digital Solutions segment to form the IET segment.

On November 18, 2022, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K containing unaudited historical consolidated financial information based on the new segment reporting structure and product lines. In addition, we provided OFSE revenue by geographic region. Such information was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report filing on Form 8-K.

Below is our final presentation summarizing the results of our former segments. This is being provided for this quarter only as we transition to our new segments.

Orders and RPO - our ability to execute on orders and RPO in accordance with agreed specifications, terms and conditions and convert those orders and RPO to revenue and cash.

Oil and gas market conditions - the level of petroleum industry exploration, development and production expenditures; the price of, volatility in pricing of, and the demand for crude oil and natural gas; drilling activity; drilling permits for and regulation of the shelf and the deepwater drilling; excess productive capacity; crude and product inventories; liquefied natural gas supply and demand; seasonal and other adverse weather conditions that affect the demand for energy; severe weather conditions, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, that affect exploration and production activities; Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) policy and the adherence by OPEC nations to their OPEC production quotas.

Global risks, including due to terrorism and geopolitical uncertainty - war, military action, terrorist activities or extended periods of international conflict, particularly involving any petroleum-producing or -consuming regions, including Russia and Ukraine; impacts due to global pandemics or similar widespread disease, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; labor disruptions, civil unrest or security conditions where we operate; potentially burdensome taxation, expropriation of assets by governmental action; cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks; epidemic outbreaks.
