Current report
As we look to the fourth quarter of 2025 and into 2026, we remain positive on the global natural gas outlook, while we anticipate ongoing volatility in oil markets. We expect that softer demand combined with increased OPEC+ production will contribute to rising oil inventories, which may lead to continued fluctuations in oil prices through 2026. Our forecast for global upstream spending in 2025 remains unchanged, with spending anticipated to be lower than in 2024 and restrained until the market absorbs potential oversupply. Over the longer term, we maintain our expectation for producers to shift spending towards the optimization of producing fields.
Current report
As a part of our anticipated acquisition of Chart Industries, Inc. ("Chart"), Chart shareholders approved the acquisition of Chart by the Company (the "Chart acquisition") on October 6, 2025. We are currently working with various regulatory agencies to achieve the customary approvals and continue to expect the Chart acquisition to close in mid-2026. On portfolio management actions, we closed the acquisition of Continental Disc Corporation ("CDC") on August 7, 2025. The sale of Precision Sensors & Instrumentation to Crane Company and the creation of the Surface Pressure Control joint venture with Cactus, Inc. are progressing as expected, with both transactions anticipated to close in early 2026.
Current report
In the third quarter of 2025, we returned $227 million to shareholders through dividends.
Current report
•OFSE outlook: We expect continued soft operator activity through the remainder of 2025, and global upstream spending will remain constrained until the potential excess oil supply is absorbed.

Current report
On July 28, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Chart's common stock for $210 per share in cash, equivalent to a total enterprise value of $13.6 billion. Our expected sources of funds for the acquisition include cash and cash equivalents to be generated from cash flow from operations, expected asset sales proceeds, and new debt financing. As a result, we entered into a senior unsecured 364-day bridge facility (the "Bridge Facility") and a senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the "DDTL"). The final structure of the new debt financing will be determined prior to transaction close. The incurrence of new indebtedness would increase our leverage and debt service requirements, which could impact our future financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of CDC in the IET segment in an all-cash transaction for approximately $542 million.

Previous report
As we look to the rest of 2025, we remain positive on the global liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and natural gas outlook, while we see continued volatility in oil markets as weakening demand and rising production are balanced against persistent geopolitical risks in both the Middle East and Russia. We anticipate oil-related upstream spending will remain subdued until the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ("OPEC+") excess barrels are absorbed by the market. Based on the current macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, we expect 2025 global upstream spending to be lower than 2024, with pockets of resilience in select international markets. We maintain our expectation for producers to shift spending towards the optimization of mature fields.
Previous report
Baker Hughes remains committed to a flexible capital allocation policy that balances returning cash to shareholders and investing in growth opportunities.

Reworded paragraphs (48)
Previous wording
In the second quarter of 2025, we saw slowing activity across global oil markets primarily due to the ongoing geopolitical tensions, uncertainty around trade policy and tariffs, and slower global economic growth.
Current wording
In the third quarter of 2025, we saw continued slowing of activity across global oil markets, primarily due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, uncertainty around international trade policy, and operator concerns about the accelerated return of idled supply from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ("OPEC+").
Previous wording
We remain optimistic on the global natural gas outlook, as we see a continued shift towards the development of natural gas and LNG. We believe the positive long-term fundamentals for global natural gas are less affected by near-term macro uncertainty and supported by solid growth in demand, positive fundamentals for LNG contracting and the continued desire to reduce emissions across the energy ecosystem.
Current wording
We remain optimistic on the global natural gas outlook, supported by a continued shift toward natural gas development and liquefied natural gas ("LNG"). We believe the positive fundamentals for global natural gas are less affected by near-term macro uncertainty. This optimism is underpinned by strong demand growth, favorable LNG contracting trends, and continuing positive momentum from other structural growth drivers, including rising power consumption and an ongoing commitment to lowering emissions throughout the energy ecosystem.
Previous wording
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company generated revenues of $6.9 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion compared to the second quarter of 2024. IET revenue increased $0.2 billion, driven by Gas Technology Equipment ("GTE"), Gas Technology Services ("GTS"), and Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS") revenue. OFSE revenue decreased $0.4 billion with a decrease in international and North America revenue. Net income was $0.7 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase to net income was a result of higher EBITDA margin in both segments, gains in the fair value of certain equity securities, and to a lesser extent FX, partially offset by lower volume in OFSE.
Current wording
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company generated revenues of $7.0 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion, or 1%, compared to the third quarter of 2024. IET revenue increased $0.4 billion, or 15%, driven by strong growth in Gas Technology Equipment ("GTE") and Gas Technology Services ("GTS"). OFSE revenue decreased $0.3 billion, or 8%, led by a decline in international revenue. Net income was $0.6 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion, or 20%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, with a decline in the market-to-market adjustment of certain equity securities, decreased volume, lower cost productivity, and transaction costs, partially offset by structural cost out initiatives, price, and favorable FX. We continue to progress in our efforts to improve efficiencies and modernize how the business operates, and those benefits have resulted in improved profitability.

Our revenue is predominately generated from the sale of products and services to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide, and is dependent on spending by our customers for oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. This spending is driven by a number of factors, including our customers' forecasts of future energy demand and supply, their access to resources to develop and produce oil and natural gas, their ability to fund their capital programs, the impact of new government regulations, and their expectations for oil and natural gas prices as a key driver of their cash flows.

Rig counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. When drilling rigs are active they consume products and services produced by the oil service industry. Therefore, rig counts may act as a leading indicator of market activity and reflect the relative strength of energy prices; however, these counts should not be solely relied on as other specific and pervasive conditions may exist that affect overall energy prices and market activity.

Productivity: Productivity is measured by the remaining variance in profit, after adjusting for the period-over-period impact of volume and price, foreign exchange, and (inflation)/deflation as defined above.

This also includes the period-over-period variance of transactional foreign exchange, aside from those foreign currency devaluations that are reported separately for business evaluation purposes.
