“We delivered a solid third quarter with strong growth in Turbomachinery and Oilfield Equipment orders, and continued margin improvement in our Oilfield Services business. Overall, we are very pleased with our execution as a team, and we believe Baker Hughes is firmly on the right path financially, operationally, and strategically,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“In the third quarter, we booked $7.8 billion in orders, driven by year-over-year growth in three of our four segments. We delivered $5.9 billion in revenue and adjusted operating income in the quarter was $422 million.

“In Oilfield Services (OFS), we continue to execute as the team drives operational improvements and wins commercially. Moving forward, we are increasingly focused on driving the next stage of margin improvement.

“In Oilfield Equipment (OFE), we are leveraging our Subsea Connect approach to secure important wins in the North Sea and Australia. Overall, we remain constructive on the opportunity for order growth in the OFE segment in 2019.

“In Turbomachinery & Process Solutions (TPS), order growth remains solid compared to 2018 driven by strength in LNG activity and resilient order activity in our non-LNG businesses. We have seen approximately 80 Million Tons Per Annum (MTPA) of new capacity reach Final Investment Decision (FID) since the fourth quarter of 2018, and the industry is on track to reach the 100 MTPA we outlined by the end of 2019. As we look to the remainder of the year and into 2020, we believe we are well positioned for several large LNG projects still to come.

“In Digital Solutions (DS), the broad, diversified nature of our portfolio and growth in oil and gas and other end markets has helped to partially offset weakness in the Power market. On the commercial side, only weeks after forming the BHC3 joint venture, the team launched its first artificial intelligence software application, BHC3 Reliability. We are extremely excited about this partnership, and the potential it brings to our industry.

“Overall, we executed well in the third quarter, and we believe that Baker Hughes is well positioned to navigate a potentially choppy macro backdrop with a good combination of long-cycle businesses in TPS and OFE, more stable end markets within Digital Solutions, and a differentiated OFS portfolio,” concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights

Customer Wins

Baker Hughes’ OFS segment secured wins in key international markets this quarter. The company signed a large agreement with Saudi Aramco to provide completions, liner hangers, well intervention equipment, and associated services for a number of key projects over the next five years. Baker Hughes also won a large contract to provide cementing, coiled tubing, and stimulation services across multiple fields.

In Asia, a major operator awarded OFS a seven-year contract extension to provide drilling and wireline services, and a five-year extension to provide completions and well intervention services both onshore and offshore Brunei. Baker Hughes’ strong safety performance, service quality, and flawless execution for the last four years on the project led to this extension.

In North America, a major operator selected OFS as its sole artificial lift provider in the Permian Basin. Under the contract, Baker Hughes will deliver artificial lift services, including ESPs, for 250 wells.

In the quarter, Baker Hughes’ OFE segment gained traction with its Subsea Connect approach, securing a number of wins in important markets globally. This includes an award from Vår Energi to provide 16 subsea production systems for the Balder X on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Baker Hughes will deliver a comprehensive solution to extend the production of the Jotun A floating production offloading and storage (FPSO) unit.

OFE also won a contract to provide subsea trees, wellheads, and associated services for Apache’s UK North Sea development activities for the next three years. Baker Hughes will deliver project management and engineering from Aberdeen, Scotland and manufacturing will take place from its new Subsea Global Centre of Excellence in Montrose, Scotland.

Also in the quarter, Inpex awarded OFE a subsea contract for its Ichthys Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) field development, located off the northwest coast of Western Australia. Baker Hughes will deliver subsea production systems, including vertical trees, associated production control systems, distribution equipment, and topside controls. OFE will also provide associated installation and commissioning support services.

Baker Hughes’ TPS segment was awarded a contract and granted notice to proceed for Venture Global LNG’s Calcasieu Pass project. TPS will provide an LNG liquefaction train system with 18 modularized compression trains across nine “blocks”, for a total nameplate capacity of 10 million tons per annum (MTPA). This modular solution will enable faster installation and lower construction and operational costs. Baker Hughes will also leverage advanced technologies from across its portfolio to deliver a comprehensive power island system that includes power generation and electrical distribution equipment for the facility.

Baker Hughes TPS business was also awarded equipment contracts for two FPSO projects offshore India and Brazil. The Company’s solution includes three LM2500+G4 gas turbines for power generation and six motor compressors for the project in India. In Brazil, Baker Hughes will provide four LM2500+G4 gas turbines for power generation and three LM2500 +G4 gas turbine compressors. Baker Hughes’ integrated portfolio of proven technologies, including CO2 management capabilities and a smaller footprint-as well as its track record of execution were key differentiators for selection on these important offshore production projects.

Technology & Innovation

BHC3, the Company’s joint venture with C3.ai, launched its first commercial application, BHC3 Reliability. The application is built on C3.ai’s leading artificial intelligence platform with domain-specific algorithms from Baker Hughes. It captures historical and real-time data from entire systems to identify anomalies that lead to equipment failure and process upsets. Application alerts enable proactive intervention to reduce downtime and lost revenue. The application is now available to deploy across upstream, midstream, or downstream projects, and BHC3 is currently training the app on customer data.

Also in the quarter, Baker Hughes’ Bently Nevada product line within the Digital Solutions segment launched the Orbit 60 Series next-generation condition-monitoring platform that collects and processes data, equipping customers with the right data and analytics to determine the health of their machines. It is the first intrinsically cyber-secure machinery monitoring system with a built-in data diode, which enables secure one-way data transfer from the device to Bently Nevada’s flagship machinery management software, System 1, for proactive monitoring and diagnostics. The Orbit platform enables operators to do more with less, offering 80 dynamic data channels compared to an industry average of 50, with 100 times higher signal processing power and a smaller physical footprint than the industry average.

Executing for Customers

In the third quarter, Baker Hughes and ADNOC Drilling completed the first offshore well under the existing partnership using an integrated well construction solution. The approach increased drilling efficiency by 25 percent, enabling the partnership to deliver the well ahead of schedule and within budget, creating enhanced value and production growth. The milestone follows the completion of 19 onshore wells this year in partnership with ADNOC.

Baker Hughes’ OFS segment continues to deliver strong results for Equinor. In the third quarter, the customer recognized Baker Hughes as the first service company to fully transition a rig to integrated operations level 3 (IO3) status, which requires moving personnel from offshore to a remote operations center. Baker Hughes will scale this approach across the 10 rigs currently in operation for this customer. In October, on the same IO3 rig, Baker Hughes deployed a new automated directional drilling system for the first time on multiple sections of an offshore development well. This system compares actual downhole data with the planned well path and automatically makes adjustments - with no human guidance or intervention, representing a step-change in directional drilling. OFS also completed its first fully remote cementing job for Equinor in the quarter.

Baker Hughes’ DS segment continued to drive growth in its controls product line with customers across end markets such as electronics, aviation, and automotive industries. Earlier this month, the team opened a new Customer Solutions Center (CSC) in Korea and has plans to open another center in Silicon Valley later this year. These openings follow strong results with its other CSCs in the U.S. and Asia. The centers feature 10+ of the latest technologies from the inspection technologies business and support application development, qualification testing and training for customers at scale.

Turbomachinery & Process Solutions (TPS) orders were up 79% year-over-year. Equipment orders were up over 200% driven by higher LNG and On- and Offshore-production orders. Service orders were down 13% year-over-year primarily due to deal timing.

TPS revenue of $1,197 million for the quarter declined 14% year-over-year. The decrease was driven by the sale of the High-speed Reciprocating Compressor business, lower upgrades, and lower volume in the Flow and Process technology business. This decline was partially offset with higher transactional and contractual services revenue. Equipment revenue in the quarter represented 33% of total segment revenue, and Service revenue represented 67% of total segment revenue.

Segment operating income before tax for the quarter was $161 million, up 22% year-over-year. The margin expansion was driven by increased cost productivity and better business mix, partially offset with lower volume.

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

Management provides non-GAAP financial measures in Tables 1a, 1b, and 1c 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 and liquidity, and that these measures may be used by investors to make informed investment decisions.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this release) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a “forward-looking statement”). The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “foresee,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “would,” “may,” “probable,” “likely,” and similar expressions, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2018; the Company's subsequent quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019; 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: investors.bakerhughes.com or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system at: www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Our expectations regarding our business outlook and business plans; the business plans of our customers; oil and natural gas market conditions; cost and availability of resources; economic, legal and regulatory conditions, and other matters are only our forecasts regarding these matters.

These forward-looking statements, including forecasts, may be substantially different from actual results, which are affected by many risks, along with the following risk factors and the timing of any of these risk factors:

Integration and separation activities - the ability to successfully integrate Baker Hughes with GE Oil & Gas, including operations, technologies, products and services; and at the same time, eliminate dependencies on GE.

Economic and political conditions - the impact of worldwide economic conditions; 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.

Dependence on GE - any failure by GE to supply products and services to us in accordance with applicable contractual terms could have a material effect on our business.

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 that affect exploration and production activities; Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) policy and the adherence by OPEC nations to their OPEC production quotas.

Terrorism and geopolitical risks - war, military action, terrorist activities or extended periods of international conflict, particularly involving any petroleum-producing or -consuming regions; labor disruptions, civil unrest or security conditions where we operate; potentially burdensome taxation, expropriation of assets by governmental action; cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks; epidemic outbreaks.
