Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") is an energy technology company with a diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report").
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods presented and are not indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. Under this basis of presentation, the Company's financial statements consolidate all of its subsidiaries (entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, most often because the Company holds a majority voting interest). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In the Company's financial statements and notes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. In the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. Certain columns and rows in the financial statements and notes thereto may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company announced a presentation change to the statements of income (loss). Under the new presentation, research and development costs and other (income) expense, net are reported as separate financial statement line items, with certain expense amounts being reclassified thereto, and the operating income and non-operating income (loss) line items have been removed from the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). This reporting change accompanied a change in the internal financial information regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to our reportable segments as further discussed in Note 14. Segment Information.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Please refer to "Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements from the Company's 2024 Annual Report for the discussion of significant accounting policies.
Supply Chain Finance Programs
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $388 million and $411 million of supply chain finance program liabilities are recorded in "Accounts payable" in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively, and reflected in net cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows when settled.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income

Baker Hughes Company
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09, which allows for early adoption, is effective for the Company prospectively for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This is expected to result in expanded tax disclosures in the full year financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" ("ASU 2024-03"), which enhances the disclosures required for certain expense captions in the Company's annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective prospectively or retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

| Total long-term debt | 5,969 | 5,970 | ||||||
| Total debt | $ | 6,024 | $ | 6,023 |
The estimated fair value of total debt at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $5,639 million and $5,409 million, respectively. For a majority of the Company's debt, the fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices. Where market prices are not available, the Company estimates fair values based on valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data adjusted for non-performance risk.
The Company has 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 considered 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.
Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. is a co-obligor, jointly and severally with Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("BHH LLC") on the Company's long-term debt securities. This co-obligor is a 100% owned finance subsidiary of BHH LLC that was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as a corporate co-obligor of long-term debt securities and has no assets or operations other than those related to its sole purpose. As of March 31, 2025, Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. is a co-obligor of certain debt securities totaling $5.8 billion.
Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict the Company's ability to take certain actions, including, but not limited to, the creation of certain liens securing debt, the entry into certain sale-leaseback transactions, and engaging in certain merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions in excess of specified limits. At March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the provision for income taxes was $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.

Derivatives are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position depending on their respective maturity date. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $12 million and $9 million of derivative assets are recorded in "All other current assets" and $1 million and $3 million are recorded in "All other assets" in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $14 million and $16 million of derivative liabilities are recorded in "All other current liabilities" and $38 million and $50 million are recorded in "All other liabilities" in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively.
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 a 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.
FORMS OF HEDGING
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses cash flow hedging primarily to mitigate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, the vast majority of derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk fluctuations in connection with long-term debt that it issues from time to time to fund its operations. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in a separate component of equity (referred to as "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" or "AOCI") and are recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs. See "Note 10. Equity" for further information on activity in AOCI for cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the maximum term of cash flow hedges that hedge forecasted transactions was approximately one year.
Fair Value Hedges
All of the Company's long-term debt is comprised of fixed rate instruments. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its debt portfolio and may use interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of fixed rate obligations associated with certain debt. Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500 million that converted a portion of its $1,350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.337% fixed rate Senior Notes due 2027 into a floating rate instrument with an interest rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
index. The Company concluded that the interest rate swap met the criteria necessary to qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, the changes in this fair value hedge are recorded as gains or losses in interest expense and are equally offset by the gains or losses of the underlying debt instrument, which are also recorded in interest expense.
NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES
The notional amount of a derivative is used to determine, along with the other terms of the derivative, the amounts to be exchanged between the counterparties. The Company discloses the derivative notional amounts on a gross basis to indicate the total counterparty risk but it does not generally represent amounts exchanged by the Company and the counterparties. A substantial majority of the outstanding notional amount of $3.6 billion and $4.0 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is related to hedges of anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currency, commodity purchases, changes in interest rates, and contractual terms in contracts that are considered embedded derivatives and for intercompany borrowings in foreign currencies.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
Fair values of the Company's derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in the Company's positions. The Company manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis.

NOTE 13. REVENUE RELATED TO CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
DISAGGREGATED REVENUE
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by product line for both the OFSE and IET segments, as the Company believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. In addition, management views revenue from contracts with customers for OFSE by geography based on the location to where the product is shipped or the services are performed.

NOTE 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's segments are determined as those operations whose results are reviewed regularly by the CODM, who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company reports its operating results through two operating segments, OFSE and IET. Each segment is organized and managed based upon the nature of the Company's markets and customers and consists of similar products and services. These products and services operate across upstream oil and gas and broader energy and industrial markets.
OILFIELD SERVICES & EQUIPMENT
OFSE provides products and services for onshore and offshore oilfield operations across the lifecycle of a well, ranging from exploration, appraisal, and development, to production, rejuvenation, and decommissioning. OFSE is organized into four product lines: Well Construction, which encompasses drilling services, drill bits, and drilling & completions fluids; Completions, Intervention, and Measurements, which encompasses well completions, pressure pumping, and wireline services; Production Solutions, which spans artificial lift systems and oilfield & industrial chemicals; and Subsea & Surface Pressure Systems, which encompasses subsea projects and services, surface pressure control, and flexible pipe systems. Beyond its traditional oilfield concentration, OFSE is expanding its capabilities and technology portfolio to meet the challenges of a net-zero future. These efforts include expanding into new energy areas such as geothermal and carbon capture, utilization and storage, strengthening its digital architecture and addressing key energy market themes.
INDUSTRIAL & ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
IET provides technology solutions and services for mechanical-drive, compression and power-generation applications across the energy industry, including oil and gas, liquefied natural gas ("LNG") operations, downstream refining, and petrochemical markets, as well as lower carbon solutions to broader energy and industrial sectors. IET also provides equipment, software, and services that serve a wide range of industries including petrochemical and refining, nuclear, aviation, automotive, mining, cement, metals, pulp and paper, and food and beverage. IET is organized into five product lines - Gas Technology Equipment, Gas Technology Services, Industrial Products, Industrial Solutions, and Climate Technology Solutions.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company changed the internal financial information regularly provided to our CODM to formalize the transition to evaluation of the performance of our reportable segments utilizing segment Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") as the measure of profit. This accompanied a change to the captions and subtotals included on the Company's income statement. The CODM assesses the performance of each segment based on segment 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). The CODM uses segment EBITDA as the measure to make resource (including financial or capital resources) allocation decisions for each segment, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when evaluating performance for each segment and making decisions about capital allocation. Accounting policies have been applied consistently by all segments within the Company for all reporting periods. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance.

NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has an aeroderivative joint venture ("Aero JV") it formed with General Electric Company ("GE") in 2019. As of March 31, 2025, the Aero JV was jointly controlled by GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) and the Company, each with ownership interest of 50%, and therefore, the Company does not consolidate the Aero JV. As a result of GE's spin-off of GE Vernova, GE transferred its interest in the Aero JV to GE Vernova in the second quarter of 2024. The Company had purchases from the Aero JV of $148 million and $103 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company had $107 million and $117 million of amounts due at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, for products and services provided by the Aero JV in the ordinary course of business.
NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Because legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters. The Company records a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can
Baker Hughes Company 2025 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 19
Baker Hughes Company
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
be reasonably estimated. Based on the opinion of management, the Company does not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.
On July 31, 2018, International Engineering & Construction S.A. ("IEC") initiated arbitration proceedings in New York administered by the International Center for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") against the Company and its subsidiaries arising out of a series of sales and service contracts entered between IEC and the Company's subsidiaries for the sale and installation of LNG plants and related power generation equipment in Nigeria ("Contracts"). Prior to the filing of the IEC Arbitration, the Company's subsidiaries made demands for payment due under the Contracts. On August 15, 2018, the Company's subsidiaries initiated a separate demand for ICDR arbitration against IEC for claims of additional costs and amounts due under the Contracts. On October 10, 2018, IEC filed a Petition to Compel Arbitration in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company seeking to compel non-signatory Baker Hughes entities to participate in the arbitration filed by IEC. The complaint is captioned International Engineering & Construction S.A. et al. v. Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC, et al. No. 18-cv-09241 ("S.D.N.Y 2018"); this action was dismissed by the Court on August 13, 2019. In the arbitration, IEC alleges breach of contract and other claims against the Company and its subsidiaries and seeks recovery of alleged compensatory damages, in addition to reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and arbitration costs. On March 15, 2019, IEC amended its request for arbitration to alleged damages of $591 million of lost profits plus unspecified additional costs based on alleged non-performance of the contracts in dispute. The arbitration hearing was held from December 9, 2019 to December 20, 2019. On March 3, 2020, IEC amended their damages claim to $700 million of alleged loss cash flow or, in the alternative, $244.9 million of lost profits and various costs based on alleged non-performance of the contracts in dispute, and in addition $4.8 million of liquidated damages, $58.6 million in take-or-pay costs of feed gas, and unspecified additional costs of rectification and take-or-pay future obligations, plus unspecified interest and attorneys' fees. On May 3, 2020, the arbitration panel dismissed IEC's request for take-or-pay damages. On May 29, 2020, IEC quantified their claim for legal fees at $14.2 million and reduced their alternative claim from $244.9 million to approximately $235 million. The Company and its subsidiaries have contested IEC's claims and are pursuing claims for compensation under the contracts. On October 31, 2020, the ICDR notified the arbitration panel's final award, which dismissed the majority of IEC's claims and awarded a portion of the Company's claims. On January 27, 2021, IEC filed a petition to vacate the arbitral award in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. On March 5, 2021, the Company filed a petition to confirm the arbitral award, and on March 8, 2021, the Company removed the matter to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On November 16, 2021, the court granted the Company's petition to confirm the award and denied IEC's petition to vacate. During the second quarter of 2022, IEC paid the amounts owed under the arbitration award, which had an immaterial impact on the Company's financial statements. On February 3, 2022, IEC initiated another arbitration proceeding in New York administered by the ICDR against certain of the Company's subsidiaries arising out of the same project which formed the basis of the first arbitration (the "Second Arbitration"). On March 25, 2022, the Company's subsidiaries initiated a separate demand for ICDR arbitration against IEC for claims of additional costs and amounts due; such claims against IEC have now been resolved, with any consideration having an immaterial impact on the Company's financial statements. On February 15, 2025, the parties entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement, settling the claims brought in the Second Arbitration. The consideration contemplated by the Settlement Agreement is immaterial to the Company's financial statements.
On or around February 15, 2023, the lead plaintiff and three additional named plaintiffs in a putative securities class action styled The Reckstin Family Trust, et al., v. C3.ai, Inc., et al., No. 4:22-cv-01413-HSG, filed an amended class action complaint (the "Amended Complaint") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

reasserting their claims against the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of these proceedings.
The Company insures against risks arising from its business to the extent deemed prudent by management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify the Company against liabilities arising out of pending or future legal proceedings or other claims. Most of the Company's insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts management deems prudent and for which the Company is responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is the Company's policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation.
OTHER
In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, letters of credit, and other bank issued guarantees. The Company also provides a guarantee to GE Vernova on behalf of a customer who entered into a financing arrangement with GE Vernova. Total off-balance sheet arrangements were approximately $5.7 billion at March 31, 2025. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. As of March 31, 2025, none of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company sometimes enters into joint and several liability consortiums or similar arrangements for certain projects. Under such arrangements, each party is responsible for performing a certain scope of work within the total scope of the contracted work, and the obligations expire when all contractual obligations are completed. The failure or inability, financially or otherwise, of any of the parties to perform their obligations could impose additional costs and obligations on the Company. These factors could result in unanticipated costs to complete the project, liquidated damages or contract disputes.
