All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026.

SLB offered a lump sum payment in lieu of receiving an annuity to former employees and pensioners who were participants in its International Staff Pension Plan. This pension plan paid approximately $0.9 billion from its plan assets to those who accepted the offer, thereby reducing its benefit obligation. This transaction had no cash impact on SLB, but did result in a non-cash pension settlement charge of $187 million during the third quarter of 2026. This settlement charge represented the immediate recognition of the related deferred actuarial losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and is classified in Restructuring & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
SLB recorded charges of $41 million, $69 million and $55 million during the first, second and third quarters of 2026, respectively, in connection with the July 2025 acquisition of ChampionX Corporation ("ChampionX") (see Note 4 -Acquisition).

- Acquisition
On July 16, 2025, SLB acquired all of the outstanding shares of ChampionX in an all-stock transaction. ChampionX is a global leader in production chemistry solutions, artificial lift systems, and highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely, effectively, and sustainably across the world. The acquisition strengthens SLB's leadership in the production and recovery space. Under the terms of the agreement, ChampionX shareholders received 0.735 shares of SLB common stock in exchange for each ChampionX share.
Businesses acquired from ChampionX contributed revenue of approximately $0.6 billion and pretax operating income of approximately $0.1 billion to SLB for the period from August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025.
Excluding its Drilling Technologies business, which was disposed of concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, ChampionX recorded revenue of approximately $2.0 billion during the period of January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025. The proforma impact of this acquisition on net income attributable to SLB and diluted earnings per share was not material.

There wereno borrowings under the commercial paper programsat September 30, 2026 and 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.
- 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 September 30, 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) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Sept. 30, 2026 | Dec. 31, 2025 | |
| Other current assets | $49 | $93 |
| Other Assets | $54 | $110 |
| Other Liabilities | $12 | $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 $5.8 billion and $6.3 billion in various foreign currencies as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivativeswasnot material as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

- 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.
