    Consistent Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Performance Despite Macro Headwinds

    “2024 was a strong year for SLB as we successfully navigated evolving market conditions to deliver revenue and EBITDA growth, margin expansion and solid free cash flow,” said SLB Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch.

    “Year on year, revenue increased by 10% and adjusted EBITDA grew by 12%, while we generated $3.99 billion in free cash flow, enabling us to return $3.27 billion to shareholders and reduce net debt by $571 million. These results demonstrate SLB’s ability to deliver consistent financial performance despite moderating upstream investment growth, driven by our global scale, unmatched digital offerings and ongoing focus on cost optimization.

    “Our full-year results were highlighted by 12% international revenue growth. This performance was led by the Middle East & Asia and Europe & Africa, which grew 18% and 13%, respectively. The Middle East & Asia achieved record revenues, while growth in Europe & Africa was bolstered by the acquired Aker subsea business. Excluding this acquired business, international revenue increased 7% year over year, outperforming the rig count over the same period.

    “Sequentially, fourth-quarter revenue grew slightly, driven by digital sales in North America and higher activity in the Middle East, Europe and North Africa. On a divisional basis, Digital & Integration led revenue performance, driven by increased demand for digital products and solutions, while Production Systems benefited from strong backlog conversion as customers continued to invest in maximizing recovery from existing assets,” Le Peuch said.

    Production and Recovery Becoming a Pathway to Long-Term Outperformance

    “On a full-year basis, our Core divisions—Reservoir Performance, Well Construction and Production Systems—delivered 9% revenue growth, led by 24% growth in Production Systems, largely due to the subsea acquisition. Production Systems grew 9% organically due to double-digit increases in surface systems, completions and artificial lift. Reservoir Performance also delivered 9% growth, underpinned by strong stimulation and intervention activity in the production space.

    “Our fit-for-basin approach, domain expertise and integration capabilities have established us as the performance partner of choice for addressing the operating challenges our customers face throughout the life cycle of their assets. As operators across the industry increasingly prioritize production and recovery, our strengths are more critical than ever.

    “With the anticipated completion of our announced acquisition of ChampionX, we are set to further strengthen our production and recovery capabilities, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our customers. This strategic acquisition will also enhance the resilience of the SLB portfolio, providing some stability against the cycles in the years to come.


    Digital Continues to Deliver Highly Accretive Growth with AI and Autonomous Operations Gaining Traction

    “Digital & Integration revenue increased 10% year on year, driven by 20% growth in digital, which reached $2.44 billion for the year. Accelerated adoption of our digital technologies marked a milestone year, highlighted by strategic collaborations with cross-industry leaders, the launch of the Lumi™ data and AI platform, new Performance Live™ centers to enable remote operations, and the achievement of fully autonomous drilling operations.

    “AI is the X factor for our industry, and I am confident that SLB will continue to be a leader in this area, enabling us to deliver sustained outperformance for our customers, partners and shareholders,” Le Peuch said.

    Long-Term Fundamentals Will Support Oil and Gas Investment

    “While upstream investment growth will remain subdued in the short term due to global oversupply, we anticipate the oil supply imbalance will gradually abate. Global economic growth and a heightened focus on energy security, coupled with rising energy demand from AI and data centers will support the investment outlook for the oil and gas industry throughout the rest of the decade.

    “In our Core business, we are making unmatched contributions to the discovery, development and extraction of oil and gas reserves, fueling global energy supply. We have the leading offering in Digital. And we are pursuing a meaningful opportunity in New Energy and decarbonization, where we have established a differentiated market position. Together, this is laying a strong foundation for our business, and SLB is poised to create enduring value for our customers and shareholders,” Le Peuch said.

    Total Return to Shareholders Increasing to $4 Billion in 2025

    “SLB remains committed to expanding EBITDA margins, generating strong cash flows, and increasing returns to shareholders. Given our confidence in the business outlook and our ability to continue generating strong cash flows, we are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has approved a 3.6% increase to our quarterly dividend. Additionally, as we believe our stock is undervalued relative to the strength of our business, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) transactions to repurchase $2.3 billion of our company’s common stock. This positions us to increase total return to shareholders from $3.3 billion in 2024 to a minimum of $4 billion in 2025,” Le Peuch concluded.

    Other Events

    During the quarter, SLB repurchased 11.8 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $501 million. For the full-year 2024, SLB repurchased a total of 38.4 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $1.74 billion.

    On December 20, 2024, SLB entered into ASR transactions to repurchase $2.3 billion of its common stock. Under the terms of the ASR agreements, on January 13, 2025, SLB received an initial share delivery of approximately 80% of the shares to be repurchased, based on the closing price per share of its common stock on the preceding day. SLB expects the remainder of the shares to be delivered no later than the end of May 2025. Under certain circumstances, SLB may be required to deliver shares or pay cash, at its option, upon settlement of the ASR agreements. The total number of shares ultimately purchased under the ASR agreements will depend upon the final settlement and will be based on volume-weighted average prices of SLB’s common stock during the terms of the ASR transactions, less a discount.

    On January 16, 2025, SLB’s Board of Directors approved a 3.6% increase in SLB’s quarterly cash dividend from $0.275 per share of outstanding common stock to $0.285 per share, beginning with the dividend payable on April 3, 2025, to stockholders of record on February 5, 2025.

    International

    Revenue in Latin America of $1.63 billion declined 3% sequentially, driven primarily by reduced drilling activity in Mexico. This decline was partially offset by increased production system sales in Brazil. Year on year, revenue decreased 5%, reflecting reduced drilling in Mexico, partially offset by robust activity in Argentina and higher production system sales in Brazil.

    Europe & Africa revenue of $2.47 billion rose 2% sequentially, supported by increased activity in Europe and North Africa, despite lower subsea production system sales in Scandinavia. Year on year, revenue also grew 2%, with stronger performances in North Africa and Europe offsetting weaker results in West Africa.

    Revenue in the Middle East & Asia of $3.38 billion increased 2% sequentially, driven by strong activity in the United Arab Emirates, higher drilling in Egypt, and increased stimulation, intervention and evaluation activity in Qatar. These gains offset weaker performance in Saudi Arabia and Australia. Year on year, revenue grew 7%, reflecting robust activity in the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Kuwait, East Asia, China and Indonesia, partially offset by reduced drilling in India.

    North America

    North America revenue of $1.75 billion increased 4% sequentially due to higher digital sales and increased sales of production systems in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as well as higher digital sales and increased drilling activity in U.S. land and Canada. Year on year, revenue rose 7%, driven by growth in offshore activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and higher Asset Performance Solutions (APS) revenue in Canada, despite lower drilling activity in U.S. land.

    Includes depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, exploration data costs, and APS investments.

    (4) 

    “Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, APS investments and exploration data costs capitalized. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of SLB’s ability to generate cash. Once business needs and obligations are met, this cash can be used to reinvest in the company for future growth or to return to shareholders through dividend payments or share repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations.

    In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this fourth-quarter 2024 earnings release also includes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G). In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed under “Liquidity”, SLB net income, excluding charges & credits, as well as measures derived from it (including diluted EPS, excluding charges & credits; effective tax rate, excluding charges & credits; adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin) are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the exclusion of charges & credits from these financial measures provides useful perspective on SLB’s underlying business results and operating trends, and a means to evaluate SLB’s operations period over period. These measures are also used by management as performance measures in determining certain incentive compensation. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of certain of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the section titled “Supplementary Information” (Question 11).

    Adjusted EBITDA represents income before taxes, excluding charges & credits, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and interest income. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an important profitability measure for SLB and that it provides useful perspective on SLB’s underlying business results and operating trends, and a means to evaluate SLB’s operations period over period. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by management as a performance measure in determining certain incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
