BAKER HUGHES GE NET INCOME $70 MLN

BHGEBaker Hughes, a GE company (NYSE: BHGE) ("BHGE" or the "Company") announced results today for the first quarter of 2018.

  • Orders of $5.2 billion for the quarter, down 8% sequentially and up 9% year-over-year on a combined business basis*
  • Revenue of $5.4 billion for the quarter, down 7% sequentially and up 1% year-over-year on a combined business basis
  • GAAP operating loss of $41 million for the quarter, decreased 63% sequentially and increased unfavorably year-over-year on a combined business basis
  • Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) of $228 million for the quarter, down 20% sequentially and down 19% year-over-year on a combined business basis
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the quarter which included $(0.08) per share of adjusting items. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure) were $0.09.
  • Cash flows generated from operating activities were $294 million for the quarter. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $226 million. Included in free cash flow is a cash usage of $100 million relating to restructuring and merger-related payments.

*On July 3, 2017, we closed our previously announced transaction to combine the Oil & Gas business of General Electric Company ("GE Oil & Gas") and Baker Hughes Incorporated ("Baker Hughes"). The Company presents its financial results in accordance with GAAP which includes the results of Baker Hughes and GE Oil & Gas from the transaction closing date of July 3, 2017. However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures on a "Combined Business Basis" will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Combined business results combine the results of GE Oil & Gas with Baker Hughes as if the closing date had occurred on the first day of all periods presented. The business combination impacts only the Oilfield Services and Digital Solutions segments. Accordingly, no reconciliation is presented for our other segments, Oilfield Equipment and Turbomachinery & Process Solutions. All combined business results presented in this News Release are unaudited. Such combined business results are not prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. See Exhibit 99.2 in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2018, which includes a reconciliation of the combined business information contained herein from financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

"We made strong progress in the quarter, securing several key commercial wins, executing on our synergy targets and delivering for our customers. I am pleased with our performance on our priorities of growing share, improving margins and generating cash," said Lorenzo Simonelli, BHGE chairman and chief executive officer.

"In the first quarter, we delivered $5.2 billion in orders and $5.4 billion in revenue. As expected, we saw growth in our shorter-cycle businesses and declines in our longer-cycle businesses versus the previous year. Adjusted operating income* in the quarter was $228 million. Free cash flow* was $226 million.

"Market fundamentals remain supportive, as crude oil prices are relatively rangebound, providing stability to customers as they evaluate projects. The gas market continues to grow, and strong LNG demand supports the view that new capacity will be required in the early to mid-part of the next decade. BHGE is uniquely positioned across the oil and gas value chain, and well placed to benefit from the long-term industry trends.

"In our Oilfield Services (OFS) segment, we continue to focus on growing share in key markets, including North America and the Middle East, through leading technology and services and flawless execution for customers. This quarter, we secured several critical commercial wins, and our synergy efforts led to improved margin rates.

"In our Oilfield Equipment (OFE) segment, we are focused on providing our customers with new commercial models and integrated offerings to enable better outcomes. We continue to expand our leading technology portfolio to drive down total development costs. In the quarter, we announced several deals, demonstrating the strength of our offering.

"In our Turbomachinery & Process Solutions (TPS) segment, we continue to navigate the slowdown in long-cycle projects, but the outlook for LNG is becoming more positive. We are investing in technology to drive differentiation and value for our customers, while positioning the business for growth opportunities. This quarter, we secured key deals in the offshore production and onshore pipeline markets, demonstrating the breadth of our offering across multiple end markets.

"In our Digital Solutions (DS) segment, we are gaining traction with customers on our digital offerings, and our Measurement and Controls businesses are solidifying their positions as technology leaders. In the quarter we launched a new partnership with NVIDIA to expand our capabilities in image recognition and artificial intelligence, and secured key customer wins in both the hardware and software businesses.

"We continue to make progress on the integration. In the first quarter we delivered $144 million of synergies and our 2018 total year commitment of $700 million remains firmly on track.

"Looking forward, the macro outlook is favorable and we remain focused on positioning the Company for further growth and profitability. With our talented and experienced team, leading portfolio and a focus on execution, we are set up to deliver this year and beyond."

Revenue for the quarter was $2.3 billion, a decrease of $148 million, or 6%, sequentially. Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue declined $408 million, or 15%. The sequential decrease in revenue was driven primarily by the deconsolidation of the North America onshore pressure pumping business, lower revenue internationally, mainly related to non-recurring year-end product sales, seasonality and price deterioration, and reduced activity in the Gulf of Mexico. This decline was partially offset by activity growth in our North America onshore business, primarily in our well construction product lines.
