I want to thank our employees for their continued hard work and commitment to safety,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer.
“As we look ahead to the rest of 2021, we remain cautiously optimistic that the global economy and oil demand will recover from the impact of the global pandemic. We expect spending and activity levels to gain momentum through the year as the macro environment improves, likely setting up the industry for stronger growth in 2022.
“We remain focused on executing our strategy, and are well positioned to benefit from an economic recovery while leading the energy transition and the journey to net-zero. We will continue to take energy forward by supporting our customers, staying disciplined on our strategic priorities, and delivering for our shareholders,” concluded Simonelli.
Quarter Highlights
Supporting our Customers
The OFS segment executed a major software deployment for Saudi Aramco, deploying its WellLink™ service to deliver real-time data visualization and analysis across all Saudi Aramco drilling activities. The five-year contract was awarded in 2020 and includes a detailed planning phase to transition from the incumbent provider to Baker Hughes. Using WellLink, Saudi Aramco personnel can collaborate and make decisions using a single view of data, paving the way for the use of artificial intelligence to enhance operations. Despite significant pandemic-related challenges, the deployment was completed 50% faster than planned and used local resources extensively.
Baker Hughes continued to invest in localization for Saudi Arabia. In addition to the WellLink deployment project, Saudi Aramco awarded OFS a five-year drill bits contract, supported by the Baker Hughes drill bits manufacturing facility in Dhahran. The facility recently expanded its capabilities and has produced more than 15,000 drill bits since beginning operations a decade ago. OFS also inaugurated its completions manufacturing center in Saudi Arabia to support growth plans and add in-country value.
The TPS segment continued to maintain its leadership in FPSO and LNG with several offshore topside contracts in Latin America and Asia. In Latin America, TPS was awarded a contract for multiple FPSOs, including one of the world’s largest units, to provide power generation systems, compression trains for gas reinjection, CO2 compression services and water injection centrifugal pumps. In Asia, TPS secured a topside offshore contract to provide three aeroderivative gas turbine-driven compressor units for a fixed platform. TPS also continued to strengthen long-term relationships with key customers, achieving a major milestone by securing a 10-year services contract extension in Malaysia for one of the largest LNG facilities in the world.
The DS segment continued to expand across industrial end markets, including marine, aerospace, electronics, and pulp and paper. The Bently Nevada product line signed a multi-year agreement with P&O Maritime Logistics to supply a hybrid condition-based monitoring solution that combines the VitalyX lubrication oil monitoring solution with Bently Nevada’s vibration monitoring and Host Remote Monitoring & Diagnostic service. By combining oil and vibration monitoring, Bently Nevada can provide greater protection against asset loss and ensure valuable uptime for over 180 assets on 19 P&O Maritime Logistics vessels in its Caspian fleet. This cloud-based subscription contract is the first of its kind for both P&O Maritime Logistics and Bently Nevada.
Bently Nevada also secured a contract to supply plant-wide condition monitoring solutions for Arauco’s pulp and paper plant in Chile, one of the main global players in wood pulp and bioenergy. The brownfield contract includes hardware, software and services support of 900+ sensors integrated to System 1 software for 450 machines across three sites, increasing productivity and efficiency of Arauco’s operations. In the industrial inspections segment, the Waygate Technologies (WT) product line secured multiple orders from one of the world's leading battery manufacturers in Asia. The customer has initiated a global roll-out project with WT's Phoenix CT systems to inspect lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles.
DS secured major contracts to advance customers’ energy transition goals, helping to reduce methane and carbon emissions as well as improve efficiencies. The Panametrics product line secured several orders for the Flare.IQ advanced flare gas monitoring and optimization system, with contracts for oil and gas operators in North America, China and the U.A.E. The Druck product line secured a number of significant contracts across North America and China to supply pressure sensors to improve aircraft fuel efficiency. This included one of the largest aerospace engine contracts in Druck’s history, a 25-year deal, and strengthened Baker Hughes’ leadership position with aerospace OEMs.
Executing on Priorities
Baker Hughes made progress in strategically positioning the company for new frontiers, announcing new collaborations to advance industrial decarbonization and low- to zero-carbon solutions:
- Signed a cooperation agreement with PAO NOVATEK to decarbonize natural gas and LNG production by developing and implementing innovative compression and power generation technologies for NOVATEK’s LNG projects. The agreement will begin with a pilot program to introduce hydrogen blends into the main process for natural gas liquefaction to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from LNG export terminals including NOVATEK’s Yamal LNG complex.
- Signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Horisont Energi AS for the Polaris offshore carbon storage facility in Norway to explore the development and integration of technologies to minimize the footprint, cost and delivery time for carbon capture, transport and storage. The Polaris facility is part of the “Barents Blue” project, the first global and full-scale carbon neutral “blue” ammonia production plant. The project is expected to have a total carbon storage capacity of 100+ million tons, equivalent to twice Norway’s annual greenhouse gas emissions.
- Acquired from SRI International an exclusive license for the use of Mixed Salt Process technology for carbon capture applications including fossil-fueled power plants, gas turbines, industrial applications, and the cement industry. The agreement further expands and complements Baker Hughes’ CCUS technology portfolio offering as it strategically positions to be able to offer customers a variety of solutions based on project size, design requirements and plant location.
The OFS and OFE segments continued to transform core operations and improve productivity and profitability, developing new business models and exiting product lines and geographies that did not meet strong return requirements. OFS completed the sale of pressure pumping assets in Argentina’s Neuquén Basin to Tenaris, including a hydraulic fracturing fleet, coiled tubing unit and related equipment. OFE announced a joint venture company (JV) with Akastor ASA to combine Baker Hughes’ Subsea Drilling Systems business with Akastor’s subsidiary, MHWirth AS. The new JV will deliver global offshore drilling solutions to better serve customers while driving productivity and cost synergies.
OFS continued to see growth in the Chemicals product line with a five-year production chemicals contract from a major operator in Guyana and one of the largest Chemicals contracts in Baker Hughes history. As part of the contract, Baker Hughes developed a new oilfield chemicals technology solution in record time to meet specific regional production challenges. Notably, Chemicals also secured a five-year production chemicals contract for multiple deep-water blocks in Angola, and a five-year contract for specialty chemicals and services in offshore Norway.
OFE expanded its non-metallic materials portfolio and won multiple contracts in its Flexible Pipe Systems (FPS) product lines. A new onshore composite flexible pipe was launched in January, addressing the corrosion and cost of ownership challenges with conventional steel pipes for the energy and industrial sectors. The lightweight reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) is manufactured at a state-of-the-art Houston facility, and the spoolable design can reduce installation costs by more than 20%. This technology has been well received and has led to early adoption by two customers within the quarter.
DS expanded its industrial asset performance management (APM) portfolio by acquiring ARMS Reliability, a leading global provider of reliability solutions deploying reliability engineering, data capture, integration, visualization, and analytics to improve the reliability and availability of physical assets. The acquisition closed on April 1, positioning Bently Nevada as a comprehensive industrial asset management platform with a full spectrum of APM services and extended plant-level coverage for industrial customers. ARMS Reliability’s current customer base includes the mining, oil and gas, power generation, manufacturing, and utility segments.
Leading with Innovation
Baker Hughes continued to develop technologies to advance the energy transition, improve efficiencies, reduce emissions and accelerate the digital transformation of industrial segments.
BakerHughesC3.ai (BHC3) released its latest application, BHC3 Production Schedule Optimization (PSO). PSO improves supply chain and delivery performance for highly engineered products while minimizing manufacturing costs. The application generates industrial customer demand predictions and optimal production schedules using a holistic view of buyer activity, supply chain materials, and manufacturing and distribution options. PSO is the third BHC3 AI-based application released since the alliance was formed in 2019 and allows for further customer penetration in the downstream oil and gas segment.
OFS continued to innovate to reduce emissions and environmental footprint for customers. The Artificial Lift and Completions product lines secured a contract to supply equipment and services for the first wireline-retrievable electric submersible pumping (ESP) system in Italy. This latest ESP technology was developed in collaboration with channel partner AccessESP and will allow the customer to reduce its carbon footprint, minimize deferred production, and reduce workover costs by eliminating the need for a rig during ESP change-out operations.
OFS is also utilizing novel plug and abandonment (P&A) technologies to decommission wells in Europe in a more environmentally friendly, less emissive way. In one project in the Netherlands, the Baker Hughes HEAVY METAL section milling service was paired with a rigless P&A unit to reduce metal waste by 288,000 pounds and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 73% compared to the incumbent’s services.

*Non-GAAP measure.
Digital Solutions (DS) orders were up 10% year-over-year, driven by higher order intake in the Waygate Technologies, Process & Pipeline Services, and Panametrics businesses.
DS revenue of $470 million for the quarter decreased 4% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower volume across the Nexus Controls, Process & Pipeline Services, and Waygate Technologies businesses.
Segment operating income before tax for the quarter was $24 million, down 17% year-over-year. The decrease year-over-year was primarily driven by lower volume.
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 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, 2020 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:
Restructuring - Our restructuring plans may not be successful and achieve the expected result; continued deterioration of market conditions, whether due to the continued spread of COVID-19 or other events could result in further restructuring costs and impairments.
COVID-19 - The continued spread of the COVID-19 virus and the continuation of the measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and shutdowns, and the related uncertainties.
GE Separation - The failure to successfully eliminate dependencies on GE or a failure by GE to supply products and services to us in accordance with applicable contractual terms could have a material effect on our business.
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.
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.
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.
