At March 31, 2026, SLB had committed credit facility agreements with commercial banks aggregating $5.0 billion, of which $2.0 billion matures in February 2029 and $3.0 billion matures in December 2030. These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe. There wereno borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt to the extent they are backed up by available and unused committed credit facilities maturing in more than one year and to the extent it is SLB’s intent to maintain these obligations for longer than one year. Borrowings under the commercial paper programs at March 31, 2026 were $0.8 billion, all of which were classified in Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. There wereno borrowings under the commercial paper programs at December 31, 2025.

SLB Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the publicly-held debt securities issued by Schlumberger Investment S.A., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SLB 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, 2026, were as follows:

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

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

(Stated in millions)
Mar. 31, 2026Dec. 31, 2025
Other current assets$65$93
Other Assets$46$110
Other Liabilities$21$6

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 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 $5.9 billion and $6.3 billion in various foreign currencies as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivativeswasnot materialas of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

SLB has issued credit default swaps (“CDSs”) to certain third-party financial institutions that have an aggregate notional amount outstanding of approximately $0.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The CDSs relate to borrowings provided by the financial institutions to SLB’s primary customer in Mexico. The borrowings were used by this customer to pay certain of SLB’s outstanding receivables. The $0.3 billion of outstanding CDSs will reduce on a monthly basis over its remaining 3-month term. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was not material at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

  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.
