"We are pleased with the way the team has continued to execute on our strategy over the course of the third quarter. At the total company level, we had a strong orders quarter, grew adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Operating Income margin rate sequentially and year-over-year, and we had another solid quarter of free cash flow. We did experience some mixed results across our segments during the quarter. TPS and OFE delivered solid orders, and TPS also delivered solid operating income and margin rates. OFS was negatively impacted by Hurricane Ida, cost inflation in our chemicals business, and delivery issues stemming from supply chain constraints, while DS also faced supply chain issues that impacted product deliveries. Despite these challenges, I want to thank our employees and partners 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 and into 2022, we see continued signs of global economic recovery that should drive further demand growth for oil and natural gas. However, the pace of growth is being hampered by the COVID-19 Delta variant, global chip shortages, supply chain issues, and energy supply constraints. Despite these headwinds, global growth appears to be on relatively solid footing, underpinning a favorable outlook for the oil market, aided by continued spending discipline by the world's largest producers. Natural gas and LNG fundamentals remain strong, with a combination of solid demand growth and extremely tight supply in many regions. In addition, we believe the positive case for structural demand growth in natural gas as part of the broader energy transition is becoming increasingly evident."

"We remain committed to evolving our company with the energy and industrial markets while continuing to prioritize higher margins, returning capital to our shareholders, and free cash flow. We look forward to supporting our customers, advancing our strategic priorities, and delivering for our shareholders," concluded Simonelli.

Executing on Priorities

During the third quarter, Baker Hughes announced a $2 billion share repurchase authorization in July 2021, representing the optimistic view of the Company's future as well as its strong balance sheet and robust cash profile.

On October 1, 2021, OFE completed the merger of its Subsea Drilling Systems product line (SDS) with Akastor ASA's subsidiary, MHWirth AS, to form a new joint venture company (JV). The new JV, known as HMH, provides integrated delivery capabilities, capital, renowned industry expertise and a full range of offshore drilling equipment solutions at scale. Baker Hughes owns a 50% stake in HMH.

OFE also advanced its non-metallic composite pipe applications, signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Primus Line to drive non-metallic pipeline growth in the pipeline integrity management market. The collaboration aims to rehabilitate and repurpose existing pressure pipelines, offering Baker Hughes' scale and extensive non-metallics portfolio alongside Primus Line's domain expertise and existing customer base in trenchless pipeline rehabilitation. The collaboration will also aim to jointly offer non-metallic solutions to repurpose existing pipeline networks for hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation.

AkerBP awarded a contract to TPS for the upgrade of the turbogenerator train systems at the Alveheim FPSO in Norway. The scope of supply includes Carbon Optimizer, a digital solution that enables the reduction of fuel gas and CO2 emissions by leveraging data gathered through the TPS iCenter data vault and combining it with control software to optimize the efficiency of the equipment at partial load. Combined with an Outcome Based Service contractual framework, Baker Hughes estimates that its solution will enable AkerBP to achieve up to a seven percent CO2 reduction per year, helping the customer reach its target to be net-zero by 2050.

TPS secured an award for the upgrade of control systems on rotating equipment for two different customers in Egypt and Italy for refinery and onshore gas reinjection applications, respectively. Baker Hughes will replace the current system with its Nexus OnCore solution from the DS segment. The advanced, fully configurable solution improves asset visibility, provides built-in troubleshooting and maintenance tools, simplified expansion capabilities, and reduces overall installation and training costs.

TPS also saw continued customer interest in carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen applications. TPS was selected to supply booster and export centrifugal pumps to the Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage project in Norway. Once operational in 2024, the Northern Lights project will be the first ever cross-border, open-source CO2 transport and storage infrastructure network. TPS was selected for the project due to its proven CO2 pump injection capabilities and will be the first CCUS project for the Pumps product line.

OFS continued to advance customer collaborations in CCUS and geothermal by leveraging its subsurface domain expertise. In California, a CCUS study was conducted for Aemetis, Inc., an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company, confirming more than two million metric tonnes (MT) of CO2 can be captured annually from two ethanol plant sites and sequestered safely in local geologic formations. The project is the first of its kind globally and is projected to yield below zero carbon intensity once complete.

In geothermal, OFS delivered a significant technical and economic feasibility study in conjunction with the University of Oklahoma that is expected to advance the first SuperHot Rock (SHR) geothermal project in the U.S. The study was performed on behalf of Seattle-based AltaRock Energy and demonstrates the potential for scalable, low-cost geothermal energy using an engineered geothermal system (EGS) resource at Newberry Volcano in Oregon.

OFS continued to transform oilfield operations by making digital and automated improvements, enabling customers to increase production and reduce emissions. U.S.-based natural gas producer Vine Energy is deploying OFS' artificial lift solution, ProductionLink™ Edge, across 100 natural gas wells in Louisiana's Haynesville Shale. ProductionLink Edge uses advanced analytics and "smart" edge technology to boost production and reduce associated methane emissions from oil and gas wells by reducing well unloading events. During a three-month, 10-well joint pilot project, Vine's gas production increased by 5% and well unloading events decreased by 94%.

DS continued growth in industrial asset management wins across in multiple end-markets and drove digital transformation for customers. In the Middle East, Bently Nevada secured a five-year strategic framework agreement with SABIC to deliver plant-wide condition monitoring and machine asset protection services across more than 1,200 assets and 16 facilities in Saudi Arabia. In Brazil, the Bently Nevada product line secured a contract with Vale, the world's largest producer of iron ore, to deploy System 1 asset management software and edge devices to monitor critical components on mining haul trucks and shovels.

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:

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.
