Baker Hughes Company BKR announced results today for the fourth-quarter and full-year 2025.

“Baker Hughes delivered exceptional performance in 2025. We continued to execute at a high level, delivering another quarter of strong results contributing to a record fullyear Adjusted EBITDA. This achievement demonstrates sustained momentum from our Business System, active portfolio management, and positive performance in IET, which more than offset continued macrodriven softness in OFSE, where margins remained resilient through disciplined cost actions,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“IET delivered strong fourthquarter bookings of $4 billion, contributing to a record fullyear total of $14.9 billion, exceeding the high end of our guidance range. IET achieved a record backlog of $32.4 billion at yearend, and book-to-bill exceeded 1x. For the second consecutive year, non-LNG equipment orders represented approximately 85% of total IET orders, which highlights the endmarket diversity and versatility of our IET portfolio.”

“Following our strong free cash flow performance in prior years, we generated record annual free cash flow of $2.7 billion in 2025, enhanced by working capital efficiency and customer down payments.”

“Looking ahead, we expect IET orders to remain at robust levels, supported by continued momentum in LNG, a stronger year of FPSO and gas infrastructure awards, and sustained strength for power systems. Against this favorable backdrop, we project similar levels of organic IET orders in 2026. In addition, we anticipate overall organic Adjusted EBITDA growth in the mid-single digits range, with IET expanding margins to our 20% target and OFSE remaining relatively flat.”

“As the Company moves into Horizon Two(1), our recent portfolio actions are positioning Baker Hughes to evolve into a stronger, more industrialized energy solutions company. This evolution is underpinned by an increasingly production-oriented business mix and a differentiated lifecycle portfolio, which is driving reduced cyclicality and enhanced cash flow durability.”

“I’d like to thank the entire Baker Hughes team for consistently delivering outstanding results. As we look to the future, we are energized by the opportunities that lie ahead and remain committed to our customers and employees, with a disciplined focus on creating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders,” concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights

Key awards and technology achievements

Industrial & Energy Technology (“IET”) secured several important awards to supply critical liquefaction equipment for LNG projects in the U.S., supporting the reliable delivery of natural gas and LNG required to meet global energy demand. Gas Technology Equipment (“GTE”) received an award for gas turbine and refrigerant compressor technology for Train 5 of NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG facility. GTE will also deliver six high efficiency, aeroderivative LM9000 gas turbines to drive its centrifugal compressors for the liquefaction process at Commonwealth LNG’s export facility. Additionally, Baker Hughes was selected by Glenfarne as its supplier for main refrigerant compressors for the LNG terminal and power generation equipment for Alaska LNG’s North Slope gas treatment plant once FID is reached.

IET demonstrated continued strength within its power systems solutions, receiving several awards to support data center infrastructure and industrial manufacturing. Baker Hughes received an award to supply over 40 BRUSH™ generators for gas-fired utility-scale power plants, which will collectively deliver approximately 7 GW of reliable power and enhance grid resilience, highlighting the critical role our technologies play in strengthening U.S. energy infrastructure. IET was also awarded two significant contracts from Tecnimont (part of MAIRE group) to provide electric motor driven compression and power generation solutions for the Tengiz onshore Gas Separation Complex in Kazakhstan, one of the country’s most critical energy infrastructure projects, owned and operated by KMG PetroChem, 100% subsidiary of the National Company KazMunayGas.

Aalo Atomics also selected Baker Hughes to supply a 10 MWe steam turbine generator set and ancillaries for the conventional island of its small‑scale Small Modular Reactor (“SMR”) demonstration plant in North America — among the first SMR facilities expected to run in nuclear mode with a steam turbine generating power. This demo is a key milestone toward regulatory approval of 50 MWe “Aalo Pods,” with power planned for an onsite data center.

Further demonstrating the durability of IET’s lifecycle model, the Company was awarded several aftermarket services contracts. Cheniere extended its long-term service agreement to cover Trains 8 and 9 of its Corpus Christi liquefaction facility in Texas. This comprehensive multi-year agreement covers spare parts, repair services, and field service engineering support for critical turbomachinery. Also in the U.S., the Company secured an agreement with NextDecade for iCenter™ remote monitoring and diagnostics to support the performance of critical equipment for Trains 1, 2 and 3 of the Rio Grande LNG project.

Our digital portfolio continued to scale, led by strong Cordant™ software awards. Following the successful deployment of Asset Management software and services, Yara will also leverage Cordant™ Asset Health as a service across seven new facilities in 2026. Baker Hughes will also support enterprise-level digital transformation for China National Petroleum Corporation Kunlun Digital, leveraging Cordant™ Asset Performance Management to enhance reliability and performance across several plants. Finally, Braskem will establish an Asset Strategy Center of Excellence in Brazil, utilizing Cordant™ Asset Strategy software alongside Baker Hughes’ global network of reliability experts to optimize maintenance strategies and improve operational efficiency across its petrochemical plants.

Oilfield Services & Equipment (“OFSE”) experienced a strong quarter for Production Solutions awards, securing nearly $1 billion in contracts in the Middle East. OFSE received a multi-year contract from Kuwait Oil Company to deploy advanced artificial lift systems and an award from Petroleum Development Oman to supply electrical submersible pumps with associated services across approximately 1,400 wells. Both awards incorporate the Leucipa™ automated field production solution to improve reliability and reduce nonproductive time. Also, the Company was awarded a contract from ADNOC to deliver AccessESP™ retrievable electrical submersible pumping systems in the offshore Umm Shaif Field.

OFSE saw significant uptake of its rotary steerable systems with Pluspetrol in Argentina, securing multiple Well Construction awards to help the country maximize its energy resources and develop the Vaca Muerta formation. Baker Hughes will provide Lucida™ and AutoTrak™ RSS technologies to enable deeper, longer wells drilled in a single run.

In addition, ExxonMobil Guyana awarded the Company a significant contract extension to supply advanced completions technologies supporting offshore oil and gas development.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, Eni awarded Baker Hughes a multi-year frame agreement for subsea production systems and associated services for its Coral North LNG project offshore Mozambique. The scope includes subsea trees, controls, manifolds, distribution and topsides, supporting the development of long-cycle offshore gas infrastructure.

Consolidated Financial Results
