HOUSTON and LONDON, July 26, 2026 — Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) reported second-quarter 2026 results, including orders of $10.5 billion, revenue of $6.7 billion and attributable net income of $681 million.
The company said second-quarter orders included $7.1 billion from Industrial & Energy Technology, or IET. Remaining Performance Obligations, or RPO, ended the quarter at $40.1 billion, including record IET RPO of $37.1 billion. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.68, while adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.64. Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $1,231 million. Cash flow from operating activities was $1,345 million, and free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $1,109 million. Orders and RPO are closely watched in Baker Hughes’ long-cycle equipment businesses because they indicate contracted demand that may convert to revenue over future periods, subject to execution and other risks.
“Baker Hughes delivered another strong quarter, reflecting the breadth of our portfolio and continued momentum across data center, gas infrastructure, and upstream markets,” the company said in remarks attributed to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lorenzo Simonelli. “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.”
Simonelli said IET delivered “another exceptional quarter of orders,” with record bookings doubling year over year to $7.1 billion and backlog rising 19% to an all-time high. He said the performance was driven by demand across Power Systems and LNG, with particularly strong momentum in power generation. Baker Hughes said it is raising full-year IET order guidance and increasing its Horizon 2 IET orders outlook to more than $45 billion. Horizon 2 represents 2026 through 2028.
Simonelli also said Oilfield Services & Equipment, or OFSE, delivered EBITDA above the high end of the company’s guidance range despite a complex operating environment. Increased activity and higher product shipments late in the quarter in the Middle East, along with performance in North America land and Latin America, contributed to the result, the company said.
Baker Hughes said the successful closing of its acquisition of Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS) marked “a major milestone” in its development as an industrialized energy solutions company. The company said Chart adds capabilities in thermal management, air and gas handling, compression and lifecycle services, while expanding Baker Hughes’ reach across core and adjacent markets. Together with the Waygate divestiture, the Chart transaction reflects Baker Hughes’ continued portfolio shift toward industrial energy equipment, services and recurring aftermarket opportunities.
Portfolio actions and strategic developments
During the quarter, Baker Hughes announced the sale of Waygate Technologies to Hexagon in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.45 billion before customary closing adjustments.
In July, Baker Hughes completed the previously announced all-cash acquisition of Chart Industries, Inc. The company said the transaction adds complementary technologies, expands exposure to industrial and energy markets, and increases its installed base and recurring aftermarket opportunities.
Baker Hughes also advanced a large-scale geothermal development in North America through a commercial agreement with Mantle Reach Power, a geothermal development company backed by EnCap Energy Transition Fund III. The project targets installation of up to 500 megawatts of power over the next five years. Baker Hughes will act as an integrated subsurface solution provider, while Mantle Reach Power will lead project development, ownership and financing.

Consolidated financial results
Baker Hughes reported second-quarter revenue of $6,742 million, up $155 million, or 2%, sequentially and down $168 million, or 2%, year over year. The company said the year-over-year decline was mainly driven by the impact of the Precision Sensors & Instrumentation, or PSI, and Surface Pressure Control, or SPC, dispositions.
The company’s total book-to-bill ratio for the second quarter of 2026 was 1.6. The IET book-to-bill ratio was 2.2. A book-to-bill ratio above 1.0 means orders exceeded revenue during the period, while a ratio below 1.0 would mean revenue exceeded new orders.
GAAP net income for the second quarter was $681 million, down $249 million, or 27%, sequentially and down $20 million, or 3%, year over year.
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $640 million, excluding adjustments totaling $41 million. Baker Hughes said the related reconciliation from GAAP is provided in Table 1b of the company’s release under “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted net income increased $67 million, or 12%, sequentially and $17 million, or 3%, year over year.
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter totaled $333 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,231 million, excluding adjustments totaling $60 million. Baker Hughes said the reconciliation is provided in Table 1a of the release. Adjusted EBITDA increased $73 million, or 6%, sequentially and $19 million, or 2%, year over year.
The company said the sequential increase in adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume, price, productivity, foreign exchange and cost-out initiatives, partially offset by inflation. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by productivity, price, cost-out initiatives and foreign exchange, partially offset by inflation, lower volume, business mix changes and the PSI and SPC dispositions.
Other financial items
Remaining Performance Obligations ended the second quarter at $40.1 billion, up $4.0 billion from the first quarter. OFSE RPO was $3.0 billion and flat sequentially. IET RPO was $37.1 billion, up $4.0 billion sequentially. Within IET RPO, Gas Technology Equipment totaled $15.0 billion and Gas Technology Services totaled $16.7 billion.
Income tax expense for the second quarter was $210 million.
Other income and expense, net, was $(104) million in the second quarter. Baker Hughes said this was primarily related to a net gain of $125 million from the change in fair value of equity securities, partially offset by $30 million of transaction-related costs connected with business disposals and acquisitions and $24 million of working capital adjustments related to business dispositions.
GAAP diluted EPS was $0.68. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.64. Baker Hughes said adjusted diluted EPS excludes all items listed in Table 1b of the company’s reconciliation section.
Cash flow from operating activities was $1,345 million. Free cash flow was $1,109 million. Baker Hughes said free cash flow is reconciled from GAAP in Table 1c of the release.
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from asset disposals, were $236 million in the second quarter. Of that amount, $135 million was for OFSE and $85 million was for IET.
Segment results
Baker Hughes said its segment discussions and variance explanations reflect management’s view of the relevant sequential or year-over-year comparisons, depending on the business dynamics of the reporting segments.
For OFSE, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of $266 million, $278 million and $233 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue.
OFSE orders were $3,413 million in the second quarter, up $141 million, or 4%, sequentially. Subsea and Surface Pressure Systems orders were $667 million, up $17 million, or 3%, sequentially and down $31 million, or 4%, year over year.
OFSE revenue was $3,451 million, up $214 million, or 7%, sequentially and down $166 million, or 5%, year over year. Baker Hughes said the year-over-year decrease was mainly driven by the SPC disposition and disruptions in the Middle East, offset by foreign exchange benefits in Latin America.
North America revenue was $933 million, up $5 million, or 1%, sequentially. International revenue was $2,518 million, up $208 million, or 9%, sequentially, with increases in Latin America, Middle East/Asia and Europe/CIS/Sub-Saharan Africa.
OFSE segment EBITDA was $605 million, up $40 million, or 7%, sequentially. Baker Hughes said the increase resulted from higher volume, price, cost-out initiatives and foreign exchange, partially offset by inflation, productivity and business mix changes.
For IET, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of $60 million, $69 million and $56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue.
IET orders were $7,088 million, up $3,558 million, or 101%, year over year. Baker Hughes said the increase was driven by continued strength in Gas Technology Equipment and Gas Technology Services.
IET revenue was $3,291 million and remained flat year over year. Decreases in Gas Technology Equipment and Industrial Solutions, driven by the PSI disposition, were offset by increases in all other product lines.
IET segment EBITDA was $678 million, up $93 million, or 16%, year over year. Baker Hughes said the increase was driven by price, productivity, cost-out initiatives and foreign exchange, partially offset by lower volume and inflation.
Non-GAAP measures and investor information
Baker Hughes said management provides non-GAAP financial measures because it believes the measures are widely accepted indicators used by investors and analysts to compare companies based on operating performance and liquidity. These measures include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to Baker Hughes, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow. The company said excluding certain identified items helps management evaluate operations, identify underlying trends and establish operational goals for certain management compensation purposes.
The company said free cash flow is an important supplemental measure of cash performance but should not be considered a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities under GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital asset expenditures plus proceeds from asset disposals.
Baker Hughes said supplemental financial information is available at investors.bakerhughes.com in the Financial Information section under Quarterly Results.
The company scheduled an investor conference call to discuss management’s outlook and the reported results. The call is set for 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, 8:30 a.m. Central time, on Monday, July 27, 2026. Baker Hughes said the content of the call is not part of the earnings release. The webcast will be available through the Events and Presentations page at investors.bakerhughes.com, with an archived version available for one month after the webcast.
