Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

Failure to effectively and timely address the energy transition could adversely affect our [added: reputation,] business, results of operations, and cash flows.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition of ChampionX

New in FY2024

We may be unable to complete the proposed acquisition of ChampionX.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition of ChampionX.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and future prospects.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Our full-year results were highlighted by 12% international revenue growth.

New in FY2024

This performance was led by the Middle East & Asia and Europe & Africa, which grew 18% and 13%, respectively.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Excluding this acquired business, international revenue increased 7% year over year, outperforming the rig count over the same period.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Production Systems grew 9% organically due to double-digit increases in surface systems, completions and artificial lift.

New in FY2024

Reservoir Performance also delivered 9% growth, underpinned by strong stimulation and intervention activity in the production space.

New in FY2024

Digital & Integration revenue increased 10% year on year, driven by 20% growth in digital, which reached $2.44 billion for the year.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

As operators across the industry increasingly prioritize production and recovery, our strengths are more critical than ever.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

This strategic acquisition will also enhance the resilience of the SLB portfolio, providing some stability against the cycles in the years to come.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

In our Core business, we are making unmatched contributions to the discovery, development and extraction of oil and gas reserves, fueling global energy supply.

New in FY2024

We have the leading offering in digital.

New in FY2024

And we are pursuing a meaningful opportunity in New Energy and decarbonization, where we have established a differentiated market position.

New in FY2024

Together, this is laying a strong foundation for our business.

New in FY2024

Additionally, we entered into accelerated share repurchase transactions to repurchase $2.3 billion of SLB common stock.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

These gains were offset by weaker performance in Saudi Arabia and Australia.

New in FY2024

Europe & Africa also grew 2% sequentially largely driven by increased activity in Europe and North Africa.

New in FY2024

Revenue in Latin America declined 3% sequentially primarily due to reduced drilling activity in Mexico.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) revenue was flat sequentially.

New in FY2024

Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.8 billion declined 1% sequentially driven by reduced intervention and stimulation activity, partially offset by stronger evaluation activity.

New in FY2024

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.

Dropped from FY2023

2023 was a remarkable year marked by widespread revenue growth, margin expansion, and exceptional cash flow.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.
