Baker Hughes Announces Third-Quarter 2026 Results Third-quarter highlights

HOUSTON and LONDON, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) ("Baker Hughes" or the "Company") announced results today for the third quarter of 2026.

"Baker Hughes delivered another strong quarter, reflecting disciplined operational execution and broad-based commercial momentum across the company. Performance across IET, OFSE and Chart highlights the strength of our expanded portfolio and the growing value of our complementary capabilities as we build a more industrialized energy solutions company positioned across attractive energy and industrial markets."

"Alongside continued strong operational results, IET achieved its second-largest order quarter, booking $5.9 billion and driving RPO to another record. Broad-based demand across data centers, space, LNG and gas infrastructure, together with ongoing capacity expansions, reinforces our long-term growth outlook and supports raising our full-year IET order guidance and Horizon 2 ( 1 ) IET order outlook to $50 billion plus. The resulting backlog growth provides greater revenue visibility while expanding our installed base and long-term aftermarket opportunity."

"OFSE delivered another solid quarter, supported by growing momentum across international markets led by a meaningful improvement in the Middle East. We see additional opportunity as customers increasingly prioritize maximizing recovery and extending asset life, areas where the breadth of Baker Hughes' capabilities positions us to deliver more integrated solutions through our Mature Assets Solutions offering."

"Chart delivered a solid first quarter as part of Baker Hughes. Integration is also progressing at a strong pace, and early synergy actions reinforce our confidence in the value creation opportunity ahead. By connecting complementary technologies, installed bases and customer relationships, we are expanding our ability to pursue larger opportunities and deliver more integrated solutions across energy and industrial markets."

"Energy security, rising demand for AI and emerging opportunities across growth markets are creating new opportunities across our energy upstream, energy infrastructure and industrial end markets. With a record RPO, robust order pipeline, growing installed base and inflecting energy upstream market, Baker Hughes is well positioned to deliver durable growth, stronger earnings power and long-term value for shareholders," concluded Simonelli.

The year-over-year increase was driven mainly by higher activity in Europe/CIS/Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, partially offset by a decrease in Middle East/Asia due to the Surface Pressure Control ("SPC") disposition.

North America revenue was $955 million, up $22 million, or 2% sequentially. International revenue was $2,705 million, up $187 million, or 7% sequentially, with an increase in Europe/CIS/Sub-Saharan Africa, and Middle East/Asia.

Segment EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 was $659 million, an increase of $54 million, or 9% sequentially. The sequential increase in EBITDA was a result of higher volume and price, partially offset by reduced productivity benefits, primarily reflecting the linearity of variable expenses, and a change in business mix.

Industrial & Energy Technology

"F" is used in the above table when variance is above 100%. Additionally, "U" is used when variance is below (100)%.

IET orders of $5,886 million for the third quarter of 2026 increased by $1,747 million, or 42% year-over-year. The increase was driven by continued strength in Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS"), Gas Technology Equipment ("GTE") and Gas Technology Services ("GTS").

IET revenue of $3,477 million for the third quarter of 2026 increased 3% year-over-year, driven by an increase primarily in CTS and GTS, partially offset by a decrease in GTE and Industrial Solutions ("IS") reflective of the Precision Sensors & Instrumentation ("PSI") disposition.

Segment EBITDA for the quarter was $685 million, an increase of $50 million, or 8% year-over-year. The year-over-year increase in Segment EBITDA, after taking into consideration the impact of the PSI disposition, was driven by price and higher volume, partially offset by a change in business mix and inflation.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management provides non-GAAP financial measures because it believes such measures are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance (including adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income attributable to Baker Hughes; and adjusted diluted earnings per share) and liquidity (free cash flow) and that these measures may be used by investors to make informed investment decisions. Management believes that the exclusion of certain identified items from several key operating performance measures enables us to evaluate our operations more effectively, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals for certain management compensation purposes. Management also believes that free cash flow is an important supplemental measure of our cash performance but should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP.

Table 1a. Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Baker Hughes to Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA

Table 1a reconciles net income attributable to Baker Hughes, which is the most directly comparable financial result determined in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA exclude the impact of certain identified items.

Table 1b. Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Baker Hughes to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Baker Hughes

Table 1b reconciles net income attributable to Baker Hughes, which is the most directly comparable financial result determined in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted net income attributable to Baker Hughes. Adjusted net income attributable to Baker Hughes excludes the impact of certain identified items.

Table 1c. Reconciliation of Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow

Table 1c reconciles net cash flows from operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial result determined in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less expenditures for capital assets plus proceeds from disposal of assets.
