NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (“SLB”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of SLB management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet information has been derived from the SLB 2023 audited financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the SLB Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 24, 2024.

Recently Announced Transaction

On April 2, 2024, SLB announced a definitive agreement to purchase ChampionX Corporation ("ChampionX") in an all-stock transaction. ChampionX is a global leader in chemistry solutions, artificial lift systems, and highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely, efficiently, and sustainably around the world. Under the terms of the agreement, ChampionX shareholders will receive 0.735 shares of SLB common stock in exchange for each ChampionX share. At the closing of the transaction ChampionX shareholders will own approximately 9% of SLB's outstanding shares of common stock. ChampionX reported revenue of approximately $3.8 billion in 2023. The transaction is subject to ChampionX stockholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. It is anticipated that the closing of the transaction will occur before the end of 2024.

  1. Charges and Credits

In connection with SLB's October 2023 acquisition of the Aker Solutions ("Aker") subsea business, SLB recorded $25 million of pretax charges during the first quarter of 2024 consisting of: $14 million relating to the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the write-up of acquired inventories to its estimated fair value and $11 million of other merger and integration-related costs. $14 million of these costs are classified in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statement of Income, with the remaining $11 million classified in Merger & integration.

Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries, including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment S.A. and Schlumberger Finance Canada Ltd., both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger Limited.

  1. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

SLB’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of SLB’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which SLB conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease).

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates expose SLB to risks on future cash flows relating to its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. SLB uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to provide a hedge against these risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the fair value of the derivative recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheetand in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive lossare reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Details regarding SLB’s outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2024, were as follows:

During 2019, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €1.5 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps in order to hedge changes in the US dollar value of its €0.5 billion 0.00% Notes due 2024, €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.29%,2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the US dollar value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the US dollar value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.49%, respectively.

During 2020, a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued $0.5 billion of US dollar denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the US dollar value of its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the US dollar notes to Canadian dollar denominated debt with a fixed annual interest rate of 1.73%.

A summary of the amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet relating to cross currency interest rate swaps was as follows:

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities$11$-
Other Assets$17$36
Other Liabilities$98$67

The fair values were determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived or corroborated by observable data.

SLB has entered into derivative contracts that hedge the price of oil related to approximately 75% of the projected oil production for the second and third quarters of 2024, approximately 50% for the fourth quarter of 2024, and approximately 25% for the first quarter of 2025 for one of its Asset Performance Solutions ("APS") projects. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive lossare reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

SLB is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. SLB uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

SLB is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While SLB uses foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the derivative is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheetand changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as are changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

Foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $5.1 billion and $5.4 billion in various foreign currencies as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivativeswasnot materialas of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

SLB issued a credit default swap ("CDS") to a third-party financial institution that has a notional amount outstanding, as of March 31, 2024, of $521 million. The CDS related to a secured borrowing provided by the financial institution to SLB's primary customer in Mexico. The secured borrowing was utilized by this customer to pay certain of SLB's outstanding receivables. The notional amount of the CDS reduces on a monthly basis over its remaining 23-month term. The fair value of this derivative liability was not material at March 31, 2024.

  1. Contingencies

SLB is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.
