Operating Segments
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in 2025 was$12.8 billion, a decrease of$469 million, or 4%, compared to 2024.
Operating income for the segment in 2025 was$2.1 billion, a decrease of$581 million, or 21%, compared to 2024. These
results were primarily driven by decreased pressure pumping services in U.S. Land, lower completion tool sales in the Western
Hemisphere, the Middle East, and Africa, and decreased well intervention services in Middle East/Asia. Partially offsetting
these decreases were higher year-end completion tool sales in Europe, and increased well intervention services in Latin
America.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in 2025 was$9.4 billion, a decrease of$291 million, or 3%, compared to 2024.
Operating income for the segment in 2025 was$1.4 billion, a decrease of$229 million, or 14%, compared to 2024. These
results were primarily driven by lower drilling activity in the Middle East and Latin America, and lower wireline activity in
Middle East/Asia, and decreased testing services internationally. Partially offsetting these decreases were improved fluids
services and higher project management activity in Latin America, and increased drilling activity in Europe/Africa.
Geographic Regions
North America
North America revenue in 2025 was$9.1 billion, a 6% decrease compared to 2024, largely driven bylower activity
across multiple product service lines in U.S. Land and lower completion tool sales in the Gulf of America. Partially offsetting
these decreases were improved stimulation activity and increased fluids services in the Gulf of America, increased drilling
activity in U.S. Land, and higher completion tool sales in Canada.

Latin America
Latin America revenue in 2025 was$3.9 billion, a 7% decrease compared to 2024, resulting from lower activity across
multiple product service lines in Mexico and lower completion tool sales in Brazil. Partially offsetting these decreases were
improved activity across multiple product service lines in Brazil, and higher drilling related services in Argentina and the
Caribbean.
Europe/Africa/CIS
Europe/Africa/CIS revenue in 2025 was$3.4 billion, a 12% increase compared to 2024, resulting from higher activity
across multiple product service lines in Norway and Romania, increased stimulation activity in Congo, higher project
management activity in Africa, and improved well construction activity in Namibia. Partially offsetting these increases were
lower activity across multiple product service lines in Italy and Senegal, and lower completion tool sales and decreased pressure
pumping services in Angola.
Middle East/Asia
Middle East/Asia revenue in 2025 was$5.8 billion, a 4% decrease compared to 2024, resulting from lower activity
across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Partially offsetting these decreases were improved activity
across multiple product service lines in Kuwait, higher stimulation activity in India, higher drilling related services in Indonesia,
and increased fluids services in the United Arab Emirates.
Other Operating Items
SAP S4 Upgrade Expense. As previously mentioned, during 2023 we began our migration to SAP S4, which we expect
to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026. During theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized$154 million
and$124 million of expense on our SAP S4 migration, respectively.
Impairments and Other Charges. During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a pre-tax charge of$831
million primarily related to severance costs, an impairment of assets held for sale, fixed and other assets write-offs, an
impairment of facility closures and lease terminations, an equity in earnings loss, and other items, primarily related to legacy
environmental remediation cost estimate increases. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, we recognized 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 Consolidated Financial
Statements, Note 2 for 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 theyear ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a loss of $23 million and $38 million, respectively, 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.
Argentina Blue Chip Swap. The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access
U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. The execution of certain trades known as Blue Chip
Swaps effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. For theyears ended December 31, 2025,2024, and 2023, we
entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions, which resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment for$9 million,$8 million, and$110
million, respectively.
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$34 million during theyear ended December 31, 2024, due to the
devaluation of the currency in Egypt. This is included in “Other, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Tax Provision. During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a total income tax provision of$479
million on a pre-tax income of$1.8 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.0%. The effective tax rate for 2025 was
primarily impacted by the pre-tax$831 million of impairments and other charges, the $23 million impairment of an investment
in Argentina, the additional valuation allowance recognized in the amount of $125 million on our deferred tax assets which
resulted from the impact on the realizability of our FTC carryforward due to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” and partially
offset by an $86 million discrete tax benefit from the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction attributable to a
royalty prepayment. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a total income tax provision of$718 million on
pre-tax income of$3.2 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.2%. The effective tax rate for 2024 was primarily
impacted by our geographic mix of earnings, tax adjustments related to the reassessment of prior year tax accruals, and changes
of valuation allowance on some of our deferred tax assets. We recorded a tax benefit of $41 million during theyear ended
December 31, 2024, due to a partial release of a valuation allow ance 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 theyear ended
December 31, 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 2014. 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
2024, 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 Notice of Proposed Adjustment (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 the 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.
