Operating Segments
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in thethird quarter of 2025 was$3.2 billion, a decrease of$76 million, or 2%,
when compared to thethird quarter of 2024. Operating income in thethird quarter of 2025 was$514 million, a decrease of$155
million, or 23%, when compared to thethird quarter of 2024. These results were largely driven by lower pressure pumping
services in North America and reduced completion tool sales in Latin America and the Middle East. Partially offsetting these
decreases were increased stimulation activity in Latin America and higher completion tool sales in Norway. Operating income
was further adversely impacted by lower activity andreduced pricingfor stimulation activity in US Land.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in thethird quarter of 2025 was$2.4 billion, a decrease of$21 million, orrelatively
flat, when compared to thethird quarter of 2024. Operating income in thethird quarter of 2025 was$348 million, a decrease of
$58 million, or 14%, when compared to thethird quarter of 2024. Decreased drilling-related services in Latin America and
lower activity across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia were offset by increased drilling-related services in Europe.
Operating income was further adversely impacted by activity mix and mobilization costs in drilling-related services.
Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue in thethird quarter of 2025 was$2.4 billion, relatively flat, ascompared to thethird quarter of
- Lower pressure pumping services, decreased fluid services, and reduced artificial lift activity in US Land were offset by
higher completion tool sales and increased fluid services in the Gulf of America and higher drilling activity in US Land.

Latin America
Latin America revenue in thethird quarter of 2025 was$996 million, a 5% decrease compared to thethird quarter of
- This decrease was largely due to decreased activity across multiple product service lines in Mexico and lower completion
tool sales in Brazil. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher stimulation and improved drilling-related services in
Argentina andincreased activity across multiple product service lines in Brazil.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in thethird quarter of 2025 was$828 million, a 15% increase compared to thethird quarter
of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher completion tool sales and improved drilling-related services in the North
Sea along with increased well construction activity in Namibia. Partially offsetting these increaseswas lower activity across
multiple product service lines in Senegal and Italy.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue in thethird quarter of 2025 was$1.4 billion, an 8% decrease compared to thethird quarter
of 2024. This decrease was largely due to decreased activity across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia.
Partially offsetting these decreases were increased stimulation activityin Asia, improved fluid services in Saudi Arabia and
higher artificial lift activity in Kuwait.
Other Operating Items
SAP S4 Upgrade Expense. As previously mentioned, during 2023, we began our migration to SAP S4, which we
expect to complete inthe fourth quarter of 2026. During thethird quarter of 2025, we recognized $50 million of expense on our
SAP S4 migration. During thethird quarter of 2024, we recognized$28 million of expense on our SAP S4 migration.
Impairments and Other Charges. During thethree months ended September 30, 2025, there were pre-tax charges of
$392 million recorded in impairments and other charges due to severance costs, fixed and other assets write-offs, an impairment
of assets held for sale, a reserve release related to a cybersecurity incident, a gain on an equity investment and other items.
During thethree months ended September 30, 2024, we took a pre-tax charge of$116 million primarily related to severance
costs, an impairment of assets held for sale, expenses related to a cybersecurity incident, a gain on a fair value adjustment of an
equity investment, and other items. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2. Impairments and Other
Chargesfor further discussion of these charges.
Nonoperating Items
Argentina Impairment on Investment. In years 2022, 2023 and 2024, we executed a series of loans to a third party and
received notes that are to be repaid in U.S. dollars upon maturity or earlier if certain conditions are met. During thethree
months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a loss of $23 million resulting from the deterioration in the outlook of the
debtor’s liquidity and financial projections. This is included in “Other, net” on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Tax Provision. During thethree months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a total income tax provision
of$199 million on a pre-tax income of$219 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 90.9% for the quarter. The effective tax
rate for the quarter was primarily impacted by the additional $125 million valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax
assets, which resulted from the impact on the realizability of our FTC carryforward due to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, the
pre-tax$392 million of impairments and other charges, and the $23 million impairment of an investment in Argentina. During
thethree months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a total income tax provision of$154 million on a pre-tax income of
$734 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the quarter. We recorded a tax benefit of $41 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2024, due to a partial release of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets based on
market conditions.
Pillar Two. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development enacted model rules for a new global
minimum tax framework, also known as Pillar Two, and certain governments globally have enacted, or are in the process of
enacting, legislation considering these model rules. These rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for thethree months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Internal Revenue Service Notice of Proposed Adjustment. We are subject to taxes in the United States and in numerous
jurisdictions where we operate or where our subsidiaries are organized. Our tax returns are routinely subject to examination by
the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions where we file tax returns. In most cases we are no longer subject to examination by tax
authorities for years before 2013. The only significant operating jurisdiction that has tax filings under review or subject to
examination by the tax authorities is the United States. Our United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2016 through
2023, including carry back of 2016 net operating losses to 2014, are currently under review or remain open for review by the
IRS.
On September 28, 2023, we received a NOPA from the IRS covering our 2016 U.S. tax return. The NOPA proposed
an adjustment to reclassify approximately 95% of the $3.5 billion termination fee paid to Baker Hughes in 2016 from an
ordinary expense deduction to a capital loss. The termination fee was paid to Baker Hughes under the merger agreement after
antitrust regulators in multiple jurisdictions failed to approve our proposed merger. It is common commercial practice to include
a termination fee in a merger agreement to compensate the target for damages incurred when the acquisition does not go
forward. The IRS’s long-understood position at the time of the payment had been to treat such payments as an ordinary and
necessary business expense. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustment on both a factual and legal basis, and we plan
to vigorously contest it.
We expect that resolving this dispute will take substantial time. In 2023, we initiated the IRS administrative appeals
process, which is ongoing. Failing a resolution through that process, the matter would ultimately be resolved by the United
States federal courts.
We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations to determine the adequacy of
our tax reserves, and we believe our income tax reserves are appropriately provided for all open tax years. We cannot assure
you that the matter will be determined in our favor or against us, and if the matter is ultimately determined unfavorably to us, it
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Based on tax attributes currently available, we
estimate that, should the IRS's position prevail through its appellate process and subsequent litigation, the proposed adjustment
could result in cash taxes due of approximately $640 million (plus interest thereon in the case of amounts due for previous tax
years). Our estimates are calculated under current tax law and on the bases of our assumptions regarding taxable income and
loss and other tax attributes over the relevant period, which law could change and which assumptions could and likely will
differ materially from actual results. In any event, no payment of any additional tax is currently required, nor do we anticipate
that the proposed adjustment would materially and adversely impact our ability to meet our expected uses of cash, including
future capital expenditures, working capital investments, and scheduled debt repayments, or our ability to return cash to
shareholders, even if a final determination of the matter is reached that is adverse to us.

a decrease of$195 million, or 16%, compared tothe first nine months of 2024. These results were primarily driven by
decreased activity across multiple product service lines in Mexico and Saudi Arabia, as well as decreased testing services and
lower wireline activity internationally. Partially offsetting these decreases were improved drilling services in Europe, and higher
fluid services in Latin America and the Middle East.
Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue inthe first nine months of 2025 was$6.9 billion, a 7% decrease compared tothe first nine
months of 2024, largely driven by decreased pressure pumping services in US Land and lower completion tool sales in the Gulf

Latin America
Latin America revenue inthe first nine months of 2025 was$2.9 billion, a 12% decrease compared tothe first nine
months of 2024, resulting from lower activity across multiple product service lines in Mexico and decreased completion tool
sales across the region. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher drilling-related services in Argentina, Brazil and
Caribbean.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue inthe first nine months of 2025 was$2.4 billion, a 10% increase compared tothe first nine
months of 2024, resulting from improved activity across multiple product service lines in Norway and Romania, higher well
construction activity in Namibia and improved completion tool sales in the Caspian Area. Partially offsetting these increases
were decreased activity across multiple product service lines in Senegal and Italy, and lower completion tool sales and
decreased pressure pumping services in Angola.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue inthe first nine months of 2025 was$4.4 billion, a 2% decrease compared tothe first nine

deterioration in the outlook of the debtor’s liquidity and financial projections. This is included in “Other, net” on the
consolidated statements of operations.
Egypt Currency Impact. In the first quarter of 2024, the Egyptian pound devalued by approximately 35% relative to
the U.S. dollar. Consequently, we incurred a loss of$38 million during thenine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the
devaluation of the currency in Egypt. This is included in “Other, net” on the consolidated statements of operations.
