Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic, and social environments of the countries in which we operate [added: or globally] could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are a global technology company, and our non-US operations accounted for approximately [removed: 84%] [added: 85%] of our consolidated revenue in [removed: 2023 and 2022,] [added: 2024,] and [removed: 85%] [added: 84%] in [removed: 2021.][added: 2023 and 2022.]
currency exchange rate fluctuations and [removed: devaluations.][added: devaluations; and]
Russia represented approximately [removed: 5%] [added: 4%] of our worldwide revenue during [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
The carrying value of our net assets in Russia was approximately $0.6 billion as of December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
This consisted of [removed: $0.2] [added: $0.1] billion of [removed: receivables,] [added: cash and short-term investments,] $0.3 billion of [added: receivables, $0.2 billion of] fixed assets, [removed: $0.4] [added: $0.3] billion of other assets, and $0.3 billion of current liabilities.
We continue to actively monitor the dynamic situation in [added: Russia and] Ukraine and applicable laws, sanctions and trade control restrictions resulting from the conflict.
The extent to which our [added: reputation,] operations, financial results and cash [removed: flows] [added: flows, including the ability to repatriate cash,] may be affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine will depend on various factors, including the extent and duration of the conflict; the effects of the conflict on regional and global economic and geopolitical conditions; the effect of further laws, sanctions and trade control restrictions on our business, the global economy and global supply chains; and the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the ruble.
Failure to effectively and timely address the energy transition could adversely affect our [added: reputation,] business, results of operations, and cash flows.
If the energy transition landscape changes faster than anticipated or in a manner that we do not anticipate, demand for our products and [removed: services] [added: services, as well as our relationships with various stakeholders,] could be adversely affected.
Our operations are subject to cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect on our [added: reputation,] business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our success depends in part on our ability to provide effective [removed: cyber security] [added: cybersecurity] protection in connection with our digital technologies and services as well as our internal digital infrastructure.
Our digital technologies and services, as well as third-party products, services and technologies that we rely on (including emerging technologies, such as [removed: artificial intelligence] [added: AI] programs), are subject to the risk of cyberattacks and, given the nature of such attacks, some incidents can remain undetected for a period of time despite efforts to detect and respond to them in a timely manner.
Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in both frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools (including [removed: artificial intelligence)] [added: AI)] that circumvent controls, evade detection and even remove forensic evidence of the infiltration.
There can be no assurance that [removed: the] [added: our cybersecurity risk management program, processes, or] systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cyber incidents or attacks will be sufficient to prevent or detect material consequences arising from such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material adverse impact on our systems after such incidents or attacks do occur.
Unauthorized access to or modification of, or actions disabling our ability to obtain authorized access to, our customers’ data, other external data, personal data, or our own data, as a result of a cyber incident, attack or exploitation of a security vulnerability, or loss of [removed: control of our clients’ operations could result in significant damage to our reputation or disruption of the services we provide to our customers or of our customers’ businesses.]
This could lead to fewer customers using our digital products and services, which [added: could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and future prospects.]
Our operations are subject to international, regional, national, and local laws and regulations in every place where we operate, relating to matters such as environmental protection, health and safety, labor and employment, human rights, import/export controls, [removed: currency] [added: currency, emissions reporting,] exchange, bribery and corruption, [added: anti-money laundering,] data privacy and cybersecurity, intellectual property, immigration, [added: antitrust,] and taxation.
In addition, increasing attention to the risks of climate change has resulted in an increased possibility of litigation or investigations brought by public and private entities against oil and gas companies in connection with their GHG [removed: emissions.][added: emissions, as well as descriptions of their sustainable products and services.]
As a result, we or our customers may become subject to court orders compelling a reduction of GHG emissions or requiring mitigation of the effects of climate [removed: change.][added: change, or requiring other mitigation actions.]
We are subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including those governing [removed: air and] GHG [added: and other air] emissions, water discharges and waste management, as well as the importation and use of hazardous materials, radioactive materials, chemicals, and explosives.
Accidents or acts of malfeasance involving these services [added: (including remotely operated services)] or equipment, or a failure of a product [added: or service] (including as a result of a cyberattack), could cause personal injury, loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment or the environment, or suspension of operations, which could materially adversely affect us.

Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition of ChampionX
We may be unable to complete the proposed acquisition of ChampionX.
We or ChampionX may terminate the merger agreement between the parties (the “merger agreement”) in certain circumstances as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2024.
If the proposed acquisition is not completed for any reason, including as a result of failure to obtain required regulatory approvals, the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected; we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, customers, suppliers and other constituencies; we will be required to pay certain costs relating to the acquisition; and we may be required to pay a termination fee under certain circumstances set forth in the merger agreement.
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition of ChampionX.
If the acquisition is completed, the success of the acquisition will depend on, among other things, our ability to combine our business with that of ChampionX in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and realizes anticipated synergies.
If we are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
inflation; and
could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and future prospects.
Public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting adverse economic conditions have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused, and could again cause, a significant reduction in global economic activity, significantly weakening demand for oil and gas, and in turn, demand for our products and services.
Other effects of public health emergencies have included, and may continue to include, significant volatility and disruption of the global financial markets; adverse revenue and net income effects; disruptions to our operations, including suspension or deferral of drilling activities; customer shutdowns of oil and gas exploration and production; downward revisions to customer budgets; limitations on access to sources of liquidity; supply chain disruptions; limitations on access to raw materials; employee impacts from illness; and local and regional closures or lockdowns, including temporary closures of our facilities and the facilities of our customers and suppliers.
The extent to which our operating and financial results will be and may continue to be affected by public health emergencies will depend on various factors beyond our control, such as the continued severity and duration of the public health emergencies, including any sustained geographic resurgence; the emergence of new variants and strains of a contagious disease or virus; and the success of actions to contain or mitigate the effects of the public health emergency.
A public health emergency, and volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from a public health emergency, could also aggravate our other risk factors described in this Form 10-K.

2024 was a strong year for SLB as we successfully navigated evolving market conditions to deliver revenue growth, margin expansion, and solid free cash flow.
These results demonstrate SLB’s ability to deliver consistent financial performance despite moderating upstream investment growth, driven by our global scale, unmatched digital offerings and ongoing focus on cost optimization.
Our full-year results were highlighted by 12% international revenue growth.
This performance was led by the Middle East & Asia and Europe & Africa, which grew 18% and 13%, respectively.
The Middle East & Asia achieved record revenues, while growth in Europe & Africa was bolstered by the Aker subsea business, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Excluding this acquired business, international revenue increased 7% year over year, outperforming the rig count over the same period.
Our Core divisions — Reservoir Performance, Well Construction and Production Systems — delivered 9% revenue growth compared to the prior year, led by 24% growth in Production Systems, largely due to the subsea acquisition.
Production Systems grew 9% organically due to double-digit increases in surface systems, completions and artificial lift.
Reservoir Performance also delivered 9% growth, underpinned by strong stimulation and intervention activity in the production space.
Digital & Integration revenue increased 10% year on year, driven by 20% growth in digital, which reached $2.44 billion for the year.
Accelerated adoption of our digital technologies marked a milestone year, highlighted by strategic collaborations with cross-industry leaders, the launch of the Lumi™ data and AI platform, new Performance Live™ centers to enable remote operations, and the achievement of fully autonomous drilling operations.
Our fit-for-basin approach, domain expertise and integration capabilities have established us as the performance partner of choice for addressing the operating challenges our customers face throughout the life cycle of their assets.
As operators across the industry increasingly prioritize production and recovery, our strengths are more critical than ever.
With the anticipated completion of our announced acquisition of ChampionX, we are set to further strengthen our production and recovery capabilities, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our customers.
This strategic acquisition will also enhance the resilience of the SLB portfolio, providing some stability against the cycles in the years to come.
While upstream investment growth will remain subdued in the short term due to global oversupply, we anticipate that the oil supply imbalance will gradually abate.
Global economic growth and a heightened focus on energy security, coupled with rising energy demand from AI and data centers will support the investment outlook for the oil and gas industry throughout the rest of the decade.
In our Core business, we are making unmatched contributions to the discovery, development and extraction of oil and gas reserves, fueling global energy supply.
We have the leading offering in digital.
And we are pursuing a meaningful opportunity in New Energy and decarbonization, where we have established a differentiated market position.
Together, this is laying a strong foundation for our business.
Additionally, we entered into accelerated share repurchase transactions to repurchase $2.3 billion of SLB common stock.
This positions us to increase total return to shareholders, in the form of dividends and share repurchases, from $3.3 billion in 2024 to at least $4 billion in 2025.

| | $ | 9,284 | | | $ | 1,387 | | | $ | 9,159 | | | $ | 1,507 | |
Fourth-quarter revenue of $9.3 billion increased 1% sequentially, driven by digital sales in North America and higher activity in the Middle East, Europe and North Africa.
On a divisional basis, Digital & Integration led the growth, driven by increased demand for digital products and solutions, while Production Systems benefited from strong backlog conversion as customers continued to invest in maximizing recovery from existing assets.
These gains were offset by weaker performance in Saudi Arabia and Australia.
Europe & Africa also grew 2% sequentially largely driven by increased activity in Europe and North Africa.
Revenue in Latin America declined 3% sequentially primarily due to reduced drilling activity in Mexico.
North America revenue of $1.8 billion increased 4% sequentially due to higher digital sales, increased sales of production systems, and increased drilling activity in U.S. land and Canada.
Digital & Integration revenue of $1.2 billion increased 6% sequentially driven by 10% growth in digital revenue, supported by greater adoption of digital technologies and higher sales of exploration data, particularly in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) revenue was flat sequentially.
Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.8 billion declined 1% sequentially driven by reduced intervention and stimulation activity, partially offset by stronger evaluation activity.
Revenue was impacted by lower stimulation and intervention work in Saudi Arabia, which was offset by increased activity in the rest of the Middle East & Asia and North America.
2023 was a remarkable year marked by widespread revenue growth, margin expansion, and exceptional cash flow.
Our strong full-year performance was fueled by substantial international growth, with approximately 90% of our international GeoUnits posting year-on-year increases, complemented by sustained performance in North America.
Notably, we achieved our highest-ever revenue in the Middle East, led by impressive growth in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt & East Mediterranean GeoUnits.
In the offshore basins, we benefited from long-cycle developments, capacity expansions, and exploration and appraisal activities with remarkable growth in Brazil and Angola, and solid increases in the US Gulf of Mexico, Guyana, and Norway.
In North America, while activity moderated as expected in the second half of the year, revenue increased 12% year on year, outpacing the rig count.
This outperformance was driven by our technology-leveraged portfolio in both US land and the US Gulf of Mexico.
On a divisional basis, our Core business—comprising Reservoir Performance, Well Construction, and Production Systems—accelerated, growing revenue 20% year on year and expanding pretax segment operating margin 277 bps.
Digital & Integration revenue increased 4% year on year.
This was led by digital, which continued strong growth momentum, delivering more than $2 billion in revenue.
Our success in digital was driven by further adoption of Delfi technology and customers embracing our connected and autonomous drilling, data, and AI solutions.
We also saw continued adoption of our Transition Technologies portfolio as customers look to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions.
The imperative to operate more sustainably is translating into tangible investments by our customers, resulting in the portfolio generating more than $1 billion of revenue.
As global energy demand continues to increase, international production is expected to play a key role in meeting supply through the end of the decade.
Notably, we anticipate record investment levels in the Middle East extending beyond 2025, with significant expansion in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, and Kuwait.
Offshore remains another distinct attribute of this durable growth cycle, serving as an important source for production growth and capacity additions, and we expect strong activity to continue in Brazil, West Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
In the international environment, despite elevated geopolitical tensions in various regions, we do not anticipate a significant impact on the sector's overall activity, absent any escalation.
Furthermore, we expect the long-cycle investments across the Middle East, global offshore, and gas resource plays to be largely decoupled from short-term commodity price fluctuations.
In 2024, SLB expects to experience another year of strong growth driven by the international markets.
Benefiting from these market dynamics, we foresee further growth led by Production Systems, strengthened by the additional subsea opportunities from our OneSubsea joint venture.
Sustained momentum is expected in Reservoir Performance, accompanied by increased activity in Well Construction.
Additionally, we expect continued customer adoption of our Digital business, particularly in our new technology platforms.
Our performance and returns-focused strategy, combined with our differentiated market positioning and digital capabilities, will drive profitable growth and further margin expansion, setting a strong foundation for long-term outperformance.
Additionally, we plan to increase share repurchases in 2024, visibly enhancing returns to shareholders for the full year.

Fourth-quarter revenue of $9.0 billion increased 8% sequentially with the acquired Aker subsea business accounting for approximately 70% of the growth, while the legacy portfolio continued its growth trajectory in the international markets.
Europe & Africa increased 16% sequentially driven by the acquired Aker subsea business, which accounted for most of the sequential revenue growth, primarily in Scandinavia.
North America revenue of $1.6 billion was flat sequentially as reduced drilling activity in US land and Canada was offset by higher offshore revenue in the US Gulf of Mexico.
Compared to the same quarter last year, fourth-quarter 2023 international revenue outpaced North America, growing 18%, while North America was relatively flat.
Excluding the acquired Aker subsea business, international revenue grew 10% year on year, marking the 10th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.
Fourth-quarter 2023 pretax segment operating income margin of 21% increased year on year, representing the 12th consecutive quarter of growth.
Digital & Integration revenue of $1.0 billion increased 7% sequentially due to increased digital revenue across all areas led by the Middle East & Asia and Europe & Africa.
Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.7 billion grew 3% sequentially primarily due to increased activity internationally, mainly in the Middle East and Africa.
