HOUSTON and LONDON, July 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) ("Baker Hughes" or the "Company") announced results today for the second quarter of 2026.
"Baker Hughes delivered another strong quarter, reflecting the breadth of our portfolio and continued momentum across data center, gas infrastructure, and upstream markets. Disciplined execution and our ability to effectively navigate ongoing Middle East challenges contributed to Adjusted EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range. Looking ahead, favorable underlying fundamentals support our confidence in achieving the midpoint of our full-year guidance as we continue to manage through the Middle East uncertainty."
"IET delivered another exceptional quarter of orders, with record bookings doubling year-over-year to $7.1 billion and backlog increasing 19% to a new all-time high. The strength was driven by robust demand across Power Systems and LNG, with particularly strong momentum in power generation. Given broadening customer demand, a growing pipeline across industrial and energy infrastructure markets, and our decision to further expand capacity, we are raising our full-year IET order guidance and increasing our Horizon 2(1) IET orders outlook to more than $45 billion."
"OFSE delivered an impressive quarter, with EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range despite a complex operating environment. Increased activity and higher product shipments late in the quarter in the Middle East, along with solid performance in North America land and Latin America, drove the upside and demonstrated the resilience and durability of our portfolio despite higher inflationary costs."
"Our second-quarter performance further reinforces confidence in Baker Hughes’ strategic direction. Energy security and rising power demand are driving investment across both energy and industrial value chains, and our expanding portfolio is increasingly aligned with the most attractive growth opportunities across our core end markets."
"The successful closing of the Chart acquisition marks a major milestone in our evolution as a leading industrialized energy solutions company. Chart enhances our capabilities in thermal management, air and gas handling, compression and lifecycle services, while expanding our reach across attractive core and adjacent markets. The addition of Chart further advances our portfolio, broadens our growth opportunities, and enhances our ability to create long-term value for customers and shareholders. We are pleased to welcome Chart’s employees to Baker Hughes and look forward to their contributions as part of our team," concluded Simonelli.

Consolidated Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter was $6,742 million, an increase of $155 million, or 2% sequentially, and down $168 million, or 2% year-over-year. The decrease in revenue year-over-year was mainly driven by the impact of the Precision Sensors & Instrumentation (“PSI”) and Surface Pressure Control (“SPC”) dispositions.
The Company's total book-to-bill ratio in the second quarter of 2026 was 1.6; the IET book-to-bill ratio was 2.2.
Net income, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for the second quarter of 2026, was $681 million. Net income decreased $249 million, or 27% sequentially, and decreased $20 million, or 3% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was up $73 million, or 6% sequentially, and up $19 million, or 2% year-over-year.
The sequential increase in adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume, price, productivity, FX, and cost-out initiatives, partially offset by inflation.

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.

Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words "may," "will," "should," "potential," "intend," "expect," "would," "seek," "anticipate," "estimate," "overestimate," "underestimate," "believe," "could," "project," "predict," "continue," "target," "goal" or other similar words or expressions. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2025 and those set forth from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The documents are available through the Company's website at: https://investors.bakerhughes.com or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval system at: www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.

Our expectations regarding our business outlook and business plans; the business plans of our customers; oil and natural gas market conditions; cost and availability of resources; economic, legal and regulatory conditions, and other matters are only our forecasts regarding these matters.
These forward-looking statements, including forecasts, may be substantially different from actual results, which are affected by many risks, along with the following risk factors and the timing of any of these risk factors:
- Economic and political conditions - the impact of worldwide economic conditions; the impact of inflation and interest rates; the impact of tariffs, including the potential for significant increases in tariffs and changes in global trade policy that could affect supply chain costs, pricing, and customer demand; the effect that declines in credit availability may have on worldwide economic growth and demand for hydrocarbons; foreign currency exchange fluctuations and changes in the capital markets in locations where we operate; and the impact of government disruptions and sanctions.
- 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; LNG 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.
- Terrorism and geopolitical risks - war, military action, terrorist activities or extended periods of international conflict, particularly involving any petroleum-producing or consuming regions, including Russia and Ukraine; and the recent conflict in the Middle East and the associated impact to the Strait of Hormuz; 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.
