HOUSTON and LONDON, Jan. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) ("Baker Hughes" or the "Company") 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 full‑year Adjusted EBITDA. This achievement demonstrates sustained momentum from our Business System, active portfolio management, and positive performance in IET, which more than offset continued macro‑driven softness in OFSE, where margins remained resilient through disciplined cost actions," said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"IET delivered strong fourth‑quarter bookings of $4 billion, contributing to a record full‑year total of $14.9 billion, exceeding the high end of our guidance range. IET achieved a record backlog of $32.4 billion at year‑end, 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 end‑market 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

The Company's total book-to-bill ratio in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 1.1; the IET book-to-bill ratio was 1.1.
Net income as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $876 million. Net income increased $266 million, or 44% sequentially, and decreased $303 million, or 26% year-over-year.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $772 million, which excludes adjustments totaling $104 million. A list of the adjusting items and associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1b in the section titled "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures." Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was up $95 million, or 14% sequentially, and up $79 million, or 11% year-over-year.

| 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 EBITDA margin, defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue; 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.

These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K and those set forth from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The documents are available through the Company's website at: www.investors.bakerhughes.com or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval system at: www.sec.gov.

- Economic and political conditions - the impact of worldwide economic conditions; the impact of inflation and interest rates; the impact of tariffs, including the potential for significant increases in tariffs and changes in trade policy that could affect our supply chain costs, pricing, and customer demand; the effect that declines in credit availability may have on worldwide economic growth and demand for hydrocarbons; foreign currency exchange fluctuations and changes in the capital markets in locations where we operate; and the impact of government disruptions and sanctions.
- Orders and RPO - our ability to execute on orders and RPO in accordance with agreed specifications, terms and conditions and convert those orders and RPO to revenue and cash.
- Oil and gas market conditions - the level of petroleum industry exploration, development and production expenditures; the price of, volatility in pricing of, and the demand for crude oil and natural gas; drilling activity; drilling permits for and regulation of the shelf and the deepwater drilling; excess productive capacity; crude and product inventories; liquefied natural gas supply and demand; seasonal and other adverse weather conditions that affect the demand for energy; severe weather conditions, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, that affect exploration and production activities; Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") policy and the adherence by OPEC nations to their OPEC production quotas.
