Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 thereto, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report").
Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") is an energy technology company with a broad and diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. We conduct business in more than 120 countries and employ approximately 57,000 employees. We operate through our two business segments: Oilfield Services & Equipment ("OFSE") and Industrial & Energy Technology ("IET"). We sell products and services primarily in the global oil and gas markets, within the upstream, midstream and downstream segments, as well as broader industrial and new energy markets.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Market Conditions
In the first quarter of 2025, we saw a weakening macroeconomic environment and slowing activity in the oil markets primarily due to the ongoing geopolitical tensions, uncertainty around trade policy and tariffs and slower global economic growth.
As we look to the rest of 2025, we remain positive on the global natural gas outlook while we expect the global oil outlook to soften.
We see several supply and demand factors driving downward pressure on oil prices, including the impact from announced plans for increased production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ("OPEC+") and uncertainty around trade policy and tariffs affecting global GDP and oil demand. Based on the current macroeconomic and geopolitical framework, we expect 2025 global upstream spending to be lower than 2024 with pockets of resilience in key international markets. We maintain our expectation for producers to shift spending towards the optimization of mature fields.
We remain optimistic on the global natural gas outlook, as we see a continued shift towards the development of natural gas and liquefied natural gas ("LNG"). We believe the positive long-term fundamentals for natural gas are less affected by near-term volatility and supported by solid growth in natural gas demand, positive fundamentals for LNG contracting and the continued desire to decarbonize the energy ecosystem.
We will continue to monitor market conditions and assess potential risks, including uncertainty around the macroeconomic environment, trade policy and tariffs, oil price volatility and changes in regulations and tax or other incentives for new energy solutions. Furthermore, in IET, we will continue to manage the tightness in the aeroderivative supply chain.
Financial Results and Key Company Initiatives
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company generated revenues of $6.4 billion, an increase of $9 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. IET revenue increased $0.3 billion, driven by Gas Technology Equipment ("GTE") and Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS") revenue. OFSE revenue decreased $0.3 billion with a decrease in international and North America revenue. Net income was $0.4 billion compared to $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024, decreasing $0.1 billion. The decrease to net income was as a result of losses in the fair value of certain equity securities compared to gains in the same period last year, partially offset by increased volume in IET and higher margins across both segments.
As part of our journey of transformation, we continued to undertake significant structural changes. We have progressed on our efforts to improve efficiencies and modernize how the business operates, and those benefits have translated into higher margin performance.
Baker Hughes Company 2025 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 23
Baker Hughes remains committed to a flexible capital allocation policy that balances returning cash to shareholders and investing in growth opportunities. We increased our quarterly dividend in the first quarter of 2025 by two cents to $0.23 per share. In the first quarter of 2025, we returned a total of $417 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
Outlook
Our business is exposed to a number of macro factors, which influence our outlook and expectations given the current macroeconomic uncertainty and continued volatile conditions in the industry. All of our outlook expectations are purely based on the market as we see it today and are subject to changing conditions in the industry.
-
OFSE North America activity: In 2025, we expect a second consecutive year of lower Exploration and Production ("E&P") spending due to recent commodity price weakness.
-
OFSE International activity: We expect spending outside of North America to be at lower levels in 2025 compared to 2024.
-
IET outlook: We see continued resilience in LNG, Floating Production Storage and Offloading ("FPSO"), and gas infrastructure, as well as increasing opportunities to leverage our versatile portfolio to enhance IET's position across industrial and distributed power markets.
We also expect to see continued growth in new energy solutions specifically focused around reducing carbon emissions of the energy and broader industry, including: hydrogen; geothermal; carbon capture, utilization and storage; energy storage; clean power; and emissions abatement solutions.
Overall, we believe our portfolio is well positioned to compete across the energy value chain and deliver comprehensive solutions for our customers. Over time, we believe the world's demand for energy will continue to rise, and that hydrocarbons will play a major role in meeting the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future. As such, we remain focused on delivering innovative, low-emission, and cost-effective solutions that deliver step changes in operating and economic performance for our customers.
Sustainability
We believe we have an important role to play in society as an industry leader and partner. We view the area of environmental, social, and governance as a lever to transform the performance of our Company. In 2019, we made a commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from our operations by 50% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. We continue to make progress on emissions reductions, and reported in our 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report a 28.3% reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide equivalent emissions as compared to our 2019 base year.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity position as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Our revenue is predominately generated from the sale of products and services to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide, and is dependent on spending by our customers for oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. This spending is driven by a number of factors, including our customers' forecasts of future energy demand and supply, their access to resources to develop and produce oil and natural gas, their ability to fund their capital programs, the impact of new government regulations, and their expectations for oil and natural gas prices as a key driver of their cash flows.
Oil and Natural Gas Prices
Outside North America, customer spending is influenced by Brent oil prices. In North America, customer spending is influenced by WTI oil prices and natural gas prices are measured by the Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price.

Rig Count
Rig counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. When drilling rigs are active they consume products and services produced by the oil service industry. Therefore, rig counts may act as a leading indicator of market activity and reflect the relative strength of energy prices; however, these counts should not be solely relied on as other specific and pervasive conditions may exist that affect overall energy prices and market activity.
Rig counts are compiled weekly for the U.S. and Canada and monthly for all international rigs. Published international rig counts do not include rigs drilling in certain locations such as onshore China because this information is not readily available.
The rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussions below relating to significant line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items. In addition, the discussions below for revenue and cost of revenue are on a total basis as the business drivers for product sales and services are similar. All dollar amounts in tabulations in this section are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.
Our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) display sales and costs of sales in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations under which "goods" is required to include all sales of tangible products and "services" must include all other sales, including other service activities. For the amounts shown below, we distinguish between "equipment" and "product services," where product services refer to sales under product services agreements, including sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs), which is an important part of our operations. We refer to "product services" simply as "services" within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Baker Hughes Company 2025 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 25
Our results of operations are evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer on a consolidated basis as well as at the segment level. The performance of each segment is evaluated based on segment Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA"), which is defined as income (loss) before income taxes and before the following: net interest expense, costs associated with significant restructuring programs, depreciation and amortization, and unallocated corporate costs and other income (expense).
In evaluating the performance, we primarily use the following:
Volume: Volume is defined as the increase or decrease in products and/or services sold period-over-period excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The volume impact on profit is calculated by multiplying the prior period profit rate by the change in revenue volume between the current and prior period. Volume also includes price, which is defined as the change in sales price for a comparable product or service period-over-period and is calculated as the period-over-period change in sales prices of comparable products and services.
Foreign Exchange ("FX"): FX measures the translational foreign exchange impact, or the translation impact of the period-over-period change on sales and costs directly attributable to change in the foreign exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar. FX impact is calculated by multiplying the functional currency amounts (revenue or profit) with the period-over-period FX rate variance, using the average exchange rate for the respective period.
(Inflation)/Deflation: (Inflation)/deflation is defined as the increase or decrease in direct and indirect costs of the same type for an equal amount of volume. It is calculated as the year-over-year change in cost (i.e. price paid) of direct material, compensation and benefits, and overhead costs.
Productivity: Productivity is measured by the remaining variance in profit, after adjusting for the period-over-period impact of volume and price, foreign exchange, and (inflation)/deflation as defined above. Improved or lower period-over-period cost productivity is the result of cost efficiencies or inefficiencies, such as cost decreasing or increasing more than volume, or cost increasing or decreasing less than volume, or changes in sales mix among segments. This also includes the period-over-period variance of transactional foreign exchange, aside from those foreign currency devaluations that are reported separately for business evaluation purposes.

The Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO") relate to the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. As of March 31, 2025, RPO totaled $33.2 billion, of which OFSE totaled $2.8 billion, and IET totaled $30.4 billion.
Baker Hughes Company 2025 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 26
First Quarter of 2025 Compared to the First Quarter of 2024
Revenue increased $9 million to $6.4 billion. OFSE decreased $285 million and IET increased $294 million.
Selling, general and administrative cost decreased $41 million, or 7%, to $577 million driven primarily by a continued focus on cost optimization, partially offset by inflationary pressure.
Research and development cost decreased $18 million, or 11%, to $146 million, mainly related to timing of project spend within the year.
We recorded other (income) expense, net of $140 million in the first quarter of 2025, which included a net loss of $140 million from the change in fair value of equity securities. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded $22 million of other income. Included in this amount was a net gain of $52 million from the change in fair value of equity securities.
Net interest expense incurred in the first quarter of 2025 was $51 million, which includes interest income of $20 million. Net interest expense increased $10 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, with lower interest income primarily driven by lower interest rates.
We recorded income taxes in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 of $152 million and $178 million, respectively. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate in both periods is primarily related to income generated in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than in the U.S. and losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances. Further, for the period ending March 31, 2024, this impact is partially offset by income subject to U.S. tax at an effective rate less than 21% due to valuation allowances.
Net income decreased $53 million, or 12%, to $402 million compared to the first quarter of 2024.

OFSE revenue of $3,499 million decreased $285 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by lower international and domestic rig count. From a geographical perspective, international revenue was $2,577 million, a decrease of $216 million from the first quarter of 2024, driven by the Europe/CIS/Sub-Saharan Africa regions and Latin America partially offset by the Middle East/Asia region. North America revenue was $922 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $68 million from the first quarter of 2024.
OFSE segment EBITDA was $623 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $644 million in the first quarter of 2024.The reduction of EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 was a result of overall lower volume, FX, and changes in business mix, partially offset by price and cost out initiatives.

IET revenue of $2,928 million increased $294 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily in GTE and CTS, partially offset by Industrial Technology and GTS.
IET segment EBITDA was $501 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $386 million in the first quarter of 2024.The improved performance in the first quarter of 2025 was driven by higher volume primarily from higher proportionate growth in GTE, price, and productivity, partially offset by inflationary pressure.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources, and financial flexibility in order to fund the requirements of our business. We continue to maintain solid financial strength and sufficient liquidity. At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 billion compared to $3.4 billion at December 31, 2024.
In the U.S. we held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.8 billion and $0.6 billion and outside the U.S. of approximately $2.5 billion and $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. A substantial portion of the cash held outside the U.S. at March 31, 2025 has been reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations. If we decide at a later date to repatriate certain cash to the U.S., we may incur other additional taxes that would not be significant to the total tax provision.
We have a $3.0 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in November 2028. The Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, certain affirmative covenants and negative covenants, in each case we consider customary. No related events of default have occurred. The Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Baker Hughes. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions. See "Note 8. Debt" of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further details. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. Our next debt maturity is December 2026.
We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to the uncertainty created by geopolitical events, a global pandemic, or a significant decline in oil and gas prices, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows
Baker Hughes Company 2025 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 28
and liquidity could be negatively impacted. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit ratings. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under our committed credit facility; however, a downgrade in our credit ratings could increase the cost of borrowings under the credit facility. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding, including borrowing under the credit facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we dispersed cash to fund a variety of activities including certain working capital needs, capital expenditures, the payment of dividends, and repurchases of our common stock.
Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by (used in) each type of activity were as follows for the three months ended March 31:
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 709 | $ | 784 | ||||
| Investing activities | (310) | (269) | ||||||
| Financing activities | (502) | (427) |
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $709 million and $784 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our largest source of operating cash is payments from customers, of which the largest component is collecting cash related to our sales of products and services, including advance payments or progress collections for work to be performed. The primary use of operating cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities, and others for a wide range of goods and services.
Cash from operating activities is primarily generated from net income or loss adjusted for certain noncash items (including depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of equity securities, stock-based compensation cost, and deferred tax benefit or provision).
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net working capital cash generation was $218 million, mainly due to accounts receivable collections and contract assets partially offset by progress collections, accounts payable and inventory increase.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net working capital cash generation was $209 million, mainly due to accounts receivable, accounts payable, and progress collections on equipment contracts, partially offset by an increase in inventory due to growth of the business.
Included in the cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were payments of $32 million and $75 million, respectively, made primarily for employee severance as a result of our restructuring activities.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $310 million and $269 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures including property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") and software, to support and generate revenue from operations. Expenditures for capital assets were $300 million and $333 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, partially offset by cash flows from the disposal of PP&E of $45 million and $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Proceeds from the disposal of assets were primarily related to OFSE equipment that was lost-in-hole, and PP&E no longer used in operations that was sold throughout the period.
Baker Hughes Company 2025 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 29
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $502 million and $427 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We increased our quarterly dividend during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 by two cents to $0.23 and one cent to $0.21 per share, respectively. We paid dividends of $229 million and $210 million to our Class A shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We repurchased and canceled 4.4 million shares of Class A common stock for a total of $188 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased and canceled 5.4 million shares of Class A common stock for a total of $158 million.
Cash Requirements
We believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, the available revolving credit facility, access to our uncommitted lines of credit, and availability under our existing shelf registrations of debt will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity in the short-term and long-term to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures and dividends, repay debt, repurchase our common stock, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies.
Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels. We continue to believe that based on current market conditions, capital expenditures in 2025 are expected to be made at a rate that would equal up to 5% of annual revenue. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily for normal, recurring items necessary to support our business.
Based on our current outlook, we anticipate making income tax payments in the range of $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion in 2025.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
Customer receivables: In line with industry practice, we may bill our customers for services provided in arrears dependent upon contractual terms. In a challenging economic environment, we may experience delays in the payment of our invoices due to customers' lower cash flow from operations or their more limited access to credit markets. While historically there have not been material non-payment events, we attempt to mitigate this risk through working with our customers to restructure their debts. With regard to our primary customer in Mexico, there have not historically been any material losses due to uncollectible accounts receivable, nor are any such balances currently in dispute. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had issued credit default swaps ("CDS") totaling $775 million and $553 million, respectively, to third-party financial institutions. The CDS relate to borrowings provided by these financial institutions to our primary customer in Mexico who utilized these borrowings to pay certain of the Company's outstanding receivables. The total notional amount remaining on the issued CDS was $556 million and $412 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which will reduce each month through September 2026 as the customer repays the borrowings. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of these derivative liabilities is not material.
A customer's failure or delay in payment could have a material adverse effect on our short-term liquidity and results of operations. Our gross customer receivables were 16% in the U.S. and 11% in Saudi Arabia as of March 31, 2025. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our gross customer receivables at this date.
International operations: Our cash that is held outside the U.S. is 77% of the total cash balance as of March 31, 2025. Depending on the jurisdiction or country where this cash is held, we may not be able to use this cash quickly and efficiently due to exchange or cash controls that could make it challenging. As a result, our cash balance may not represent our ability to quickly and efficiently use this cash.

Guarantor Financial Information
We guarantee various senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured debentures (collectively, the "Debt Securities") outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $5.8 billion as of March 31, 2025, with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2047. The Debt Securities constitute debt obligations of Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("BHH LLC"), an indirect, 100% owned subsidiary and the primary operating company of Baker Hughes, and Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc, a 100% owned finance subsidiary of BHH LLC (together with BHH LLC, the "Issuers") that was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as a corporate co-obligor of debt securities. The Debt Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's other senior and unsecured debt obligations. However, because these obligations are not secured, they would be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured indebtedness of Baker Hughes and the Issuers.
As permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have excluded summarized financial information for the Issuers because the combined assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Issuers are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.
