Second-quarter highlights

HOUSTON and LONDON, July 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) ("Baker Hughes" or the "Company") announced results today for the second quarter of 2026.

"Baker Hughes delivered another strong quarter, reflecting the breadth of our portfolio and continued momentum across data center, gas infrastructure, and upstream markets. Disciplined execution and our ability to effectively navigate ongoing Middle East challenges contributed to Adjusted EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range. Looking ahead, favorable underlying fundamentals support our confidence in achieving the midpoint of our full-year guidance as we continue to manage through the Middle East uncertainty."

"IET delivered another exceptional quarter of orders, with record bookings doubling year-over-year to $7.1 billion and backlog increasing 19% to a new all-time high. The strength was driven by robust demand across Power Systems and LNG, with particularly strong momentum in power generation. Given broadening customer demand, a growing pipeline across industrial and energy infrastructure markets, and our decision to further expand capacity, we are raising our full-year IET order guidance and increasing our Horizon 2(1) IET orders outlook to more than $45 billion."

"OFSE delivered an impressive quarter, with EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range despite a complex operating environment. Increased activity and higher product shipments late in the quarter in the Middle East, along with solid performance in North America land and Latin America, drove the upside and demonstrated the resilience and durability of our portfolio despite higher inflationary costs."

"Our second-quarter performance further reinforces confidence in Baker Hughes’ strategic direction. Energy security and rising power demand are driving investment across both energy and industrial value chains, and our expanding portfolio is increasingly aligned with the most attractive growth opportunities across our core end markets."

"The successful closing of the Chart acquisition marks a major milestone in our evolution as a leading industrialized energy solutions company. Chart enhances our capabilities in thermal management, air and gas handling, compression and lifecycle services, while expanding our reach across attractive core and adjacent markets. The addition of Chart further advances our portfolio, broadens our growth opportunities, and enhances our ability to create long-term value for customers and shareholders. We are pleased to welcome Chart’s employees to Baker Hughes and look forward to their contributions as part of our team," concluded Simonelli.

Consolidated Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter was $6,742 million, an increase of $155 million, or 2% sequentially, and down $168 million, or 2% year-over-year. The decrease in revenue year-over-year was mainly driven by the impact of the Precision Sensors & Instrumentation (“PSI”) and Surface Pressure Control (“SPC”) dispositions.

The Company's total book-to-bill ratio in the second quarter of 2026 was 1.6; the IET book-to-bill ratio was 2.2.

Net income, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for the second quarter of 2026, was $681 million. Net income decreased $249 million, or 27% sequentially, and decreased $20 million, or 3% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was up $73 million, or 6% sequentially, and up $19 million, or 2% year-over-year.

The sequential increase in adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume, price, productivity, FX, and cost-out initiatives, partially offset by inflation.

The year-over-year increase in adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by productivity, price, cost-out initiatives, and FX, partially offset by inflation, lower volume, change in business mix, and the PSI and SPC dispositions.

Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2026 was $210 million.

Other (income) expense, net in the second quarter of 2026 was $(104) million, primarily related to a net gain of $125 million from the change in fair value of equity securities, partially offset by transaction related costs of $30 million incurred in connection with business disposals and acquisitions, and $24 million working capital adjustments related to business dispositions.

GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.68 for the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $0.64. Excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share were all items listed in Table 1b in the section titled "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures."

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.
