HOUSTON and LONDON, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) (“Baker Hughes” or the “Company”) announced results today for the second quarter of 2025.

“We delivered strong second-quarter results, with total adjusted EBITDA margins increasing 170 basis points year-over-year to 17.5% despite a modest decline in revenue. This performance reflects the benefits of structural cost improvements and continued deployment of our business system, which is driving higher productivity, stronger operating leverage and more durable earnings across the company,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“IET orders totaled $3.5 billion in the quarter, resulting in another record backlog for the segment. Importantly, order momentum remained strong, supported by more than $550 million of data center related orders, despite the absence of large LNG awards. Following a strong first half and a positive outlook for second half awards, we are confident of achieving the full-year order guidance range for IET.”

“We remain confident in our ability to deliver solid performance in 2025, with continued growth in IET helping to offset softness in more market-sensitive areas of OFSE – underscoring the strength of our portfolio and the benefits of our strategic diversification. Accordingly, we are raising our full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance for IET and reestablishing full-year guidance for OFSE.”

“During the quarter, we also announced three strategic transactions to advance our portfolio optimization strategy, reinforcing efforts to enhance the durability of earnings and cash flow while creating long-term value for shareholders. These actions are designed to unlock value from non-core businesses in our portfolio and redeploy that capital into higher-margin opportunities that fit our financial and strategic frameworks.”

“We are progressing with our strategy of positioning the company for sustainable, differentiated growth and commend the focus and dedication of our people in executing this strategy,” concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights

Executing our portfolio optimization strategy

In the second quarter, Baker Hughes announced three strategic transactions, all of which reflect a disciplined capital allocation framework and a focus on core businesses with strong return potential.

First, the Company signed an agreement to form a joint venture with a subsidiary of Cactus, Inc., contributing the Oilfield Services & Equipment’s (OFSE) Surface Pressure Control (SPC) product line in exchange for approximately $345 million while maintaining a minority ownership stake.

Second, the Company announced an agreement to sell the Precision Sensors & Instrumentation (PSI) product line within Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) to Crane Company for approximately $1.15 billion. These proceeds will enhance the Company’s flexibility to reinvest in higher-growth, higher-return areas that support further margin expansion and improved returns.

Finally, Baker Hughes agreed to acquire Continental Disc Corporation (CDC), a leading provider of pressure management solutions, for approximately $540 million. The CDC acquisition strengthens the IET Industrial Products portfolio with a highly complementary, margin-accretive business that expands the Company’s position in the flow and pressure control market and enhances recurring, lifecycle driven revenue.

Key awards and technology achievements

The Company continued to support the development of critical data center projects, with year-to-date data center awards of more than $650 million. IET received an award to supply 30 NovaLT™ turbines, representing our largest data center award to-date. The turbines, alongside other associated Baker Hughes equipment, will deliver up to 500 megawatts (MW) of reliable and efficient power for data center development across various U.S. locations.

Frontier Infrastructure awarded a contract for NovaLT™ turbines, delivering up to 270 MW of power for its data center projects in Wyoming and Texas. This follows the March 2025 enterprise-wide agreement to accelerate large scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power solutions.

Baker Hughes continues to grow the pipeline of future data center opportunities. At the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in May, the Company signed an MoU with DataVolt that plans to power data centers globally, including the NEOM project in the Kingdom that intends to utilize Baker Hughes’ multi-fuel NovaLT™ technology solution.

In addition to growing demand from data center applications, IET experienced increased demand for NovaLT™ turbines in the gas infrastructure sector. During the second quarter, the segment secured an award for four gas turbines to support Aramco’s Master Gas System III pipeline project. Including this award, we have secured a total of $2.9 billion in gas infrastructure equipment orders over the past six quarters.

Highlighting the durability of IET’s lifecycle model, the segment was awarded several aftermarket services contracts. In Gas Technology Services (GTS), the Company secured more than $350 million of Contractual Services Agreements (CSA) during the quarter. We signed a maintenance agreement with Belayim Petroleum Company (“Petrobel”) to improve uptime and reliability of critical turbomachinery equipment in Egypt. Also in GTS, we renewed a multi-year service agreement with Oman LNG, including resident engineering support along with digital remote monitoring and diagnostics services delivered through iCenter™.

The Company gained further traction with New Energy globally, with year-to-date bookings now totaling $1.25 billion. In Climate Technology Solutions (CTS), we secured one of our largest CCS orders to-date, providing compression technology for a CCS hub in the Middle East. Also in CTS, we signed a framework agreement with Energinet in Denmark to supply 16 reciprocating compressor packages, supporting an increase in biogas production while driving methane and CO2 emissions reduction for gas infrastructure across the country.

Industrial Technology continued to demonstrate strong momentum across multiple end markets. In Industrial Solutions, we secured a variety of awards for our Cordant™ suite of solutions. This includes an award from a large NOC to deploy Asset Performance Management across several compression stations in the Middle East, and an award from NOVA Chemicals to optimize maintenance spend and maximize production.

OFSE maintained strong momentum in Mature Assets Solutions around the globe. In Angola, OFSE was awarded multi-year production solutions contracts for chemicals, artificial lift, and digital services to support a major operator’s offshore activities. In Kazakhstan, the TOPAN and Baker Hughes joint venture secured a critical production chemicals and services award. In Norway, Equinor awarded OFSE a contract to industrialize offshore plug and abandonment (P&A) operations in the Oseberg East field, which followed the announcement of a multi-year P&A framework agreement for integrated well services.

OFSE saw continued adoption of Leucipa™ automated field production solution, securing an award from Repsol for next-generation AI capabilities following the MoU signed in October 2024. The Company also signed an agreement with ENI to deploy Leucipa for electric submersible pumps (ESP) optimization and AI-powered predictive failure analytics in the Middle East.

Also in the Middle East, Baker Hughes signed a master services agreement with Aramco for installation and maintenance of ESPs across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In North America, OFSE secured a multi-year contract to provide drag reducing chemicals to be deployed on Genesis Energy’s Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline and Poseidon systems, each of which is operated and 64% owned by Genesis Energy. To support this agreement, OFSE will expand its chemicals manufacturing footprint and deploy Leucipa. Additionally, bp awarded OFSE a multi-year chemicals management services contract to optimize throughput and asset reliability in the U.S. Gulf Coast.

In Germany, OFSE successfully drilled Lower Saxony’s first productive deep geothermal exploration well, a project that leverages OFSE’s integrated well construction and production capabilities and the Company’s industry-leading subsurface-to-surface digital solutions to monitor and optimize operational performance.

Consolidated Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter was $6,910 million, an increase of 8% sequentially and down $229 million year-over-year. The decrease in revenue year-over-year was driven by a decrease in OFSE partially offset by an increase in IET.

The Company’s total book-to-bill ratio in the second quarter of 2025 was 1.0; the IET book-to-bill ratio was 1.1.

Net income as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for the second quarter of 2025 was $701 million. Net income increased $299 million sequentially and increased $122 million year-over-year.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the second quarter of 2025 was $623 million, which excludes adjustments totaling $78 million. A list of the adjusting items and associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1b in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2025 was up 22% sequentially and up 10% year-over-year.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2025 was $293 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the second quarter of 2025 was $1,212 million, which excludes adjustments totaling $102 million. See Table 1a in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was up 17% sequentially and up 7% year-over-year.

The sequential increase in adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by an increase in volume, favorable FX, and overall productivity. The year-over-year increase in adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA was driven by productivity and structural cost out initiatives, favorable FX, partially offset by lower volume in OFSE, and cost inflation in both segments.

Other Financial Items

Remaining Performance Obligations (“RPO”) in the second quarter of 2025 ended at $34 billion, an increase of $0.8 billion from the first quarter of 2025. OFSE RPO was $2.7 billion, down 3% sequentially, while IET RPO was $31.3 billion, up 3% sequentially. Within IET RPO, GTE RPO was $11.3 billion, and GTS RPO was $15.6 billion.

Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $256 million.

Other (income) expense, net in the second quarter of 2025 was $(134) million, primarily related to changes in fair value for equity securities of $(119) million.

GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.71. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $0.63. Excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share were all items listed in Table 1b in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Cash flow from operating activities was $510 million for the second quarter of 2025. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the quarter was $239 million. A reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1c in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposal of assets, were $271 million for the second quarter of 2025, of which $184 million was for OFSE and $68 million was for IET.

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 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 GAAP.
