PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") is an energy technology company with a diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. Built on a century of experience and conducting business in over 120 countries, our innovative technologies and services are taking energy forward.

OUR VISION & STRATEGY

With our diverse portfolio, leading technology and clear purpose to make energy safer, cleaner and more efficient, Baker Hughes is well positioned to deliver solutions across industrial and energy markets. By integrating health, safety & environment ("HSE") into everything we do, we protect our people, our customers, and the environment.

The global energy landscape is undergoing a period of structural transformation, with sustained demand growth driven by population expansion, rising living standards, industrialization, electrification, and the rapid proliferation of digital infrastructure. Meeting this increasing demand will require a diversified and integrated energy system that draws on the full spectrum of energy sources. Within this context, Baker Hughes plays a critical role by deploying technology across industrial energy, oil and gas, liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), power generation, renewable energy and emerging solutions – integrating multiple energy sources, enhancing efficiency, reducing emissions, and supporting the continued advancement of global energy infrastructure.

While renewable energy will continue to expand rapidly, oil and natural gas are expected to remain a significant portion of the global energy mix for decades to come. In particular, natural gas will play a central role in providing the scale, reliability, and flexibility required to support economic growth and complement intermittent renewable generation. This dynamic reinforces Baker Hughes' essential role in enabling energy systems that are affordable, secure, and increasingly lower carbon.

We believe there is an inseparable link between industrial markets and the energy systems that power them. Industrial growth is driving structural increases in energy demand, alongside rising expectations for cleaner and efficient energy solutions. Addressing these dual objectives requires a fundamentally different approach – one that enables customers to develop new partnerships, adopt innovative commercial models, and implement advanced technology solutions to deliver sustainable energy resilience and security.

Our strategy is based on three key pillars:

•Transform the core: We are transforming our current business to improve margins and cash flow, which we are achieving through portfolio management, cost improvement, and new operating models.

•Driving profitable growth: We are accelerating organic and inorganic growth by expanding our offering in high potential markets where we have differentiated solutions and in-demand capabilities for LNG, gas infrastructure, power generation, data centers, industrial manufacturing and oilfield production.

•Delivering results in new energy: We are making strategic investments to drive lower-carbon emissions in the energy and industrial sectors, including hydrogen; carbon capture, utilization and storage ("CCUS"); geothermal; and clean power solutions ("clean power" refers to lower carbon intensity, lower lifecycle emissions, and lower quantity of greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions resulting directly from fuel combustion, relative to conventional power sources derived from fossil fuels).

We expect to benefit from our strategy in the following ways:

•Scope and scale: We have a global presence and a broad, diversified portfolio that is well positioned to address the needs of a constantly evolving energy ecosystem and customer base. Our products, services, and expertise serve the upstream, midstream/LNG and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, new energy markets, power & utilities sector as well as broader chemical and industrial segments across a variety of verticals. We see increasing commercial synergy opportunities across our two operating segments: Oilfield Services & Equipment ("OFSE") and Industrial & Energy Technology ("IET") as discussed

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 1

below under "Products and Services," and each are among the top providers for the majority of the product lines in the markets they serve.

•Technology: Our culture is built on a heritage of innovation and invention through industry expertise, technical know-how, and research and development ("R&D"), with complementary expert skills that enable us to provide services, equipment and advanced solutions to a variety of industries. Technology remains a differentiator for us and is a key enabler in driving the efficiency and productivity gains our customers require, while paving the way for longer-term sustainable energy development. We offer a range of technologies specifically designed to help customers reduce their carbon footprint. We remain committed to investing in our products and services to maintain our leadership position across our offerings, including $600 million R&D spend and being granted more than 1,400 patents worldwide in 2025.

•Sustainable energy expansion solutions: We are positioned to support our customers' commitments to reduce their carbon footprint with a range of products and services for what we refer to as "New Energy." This portfolio includes integrated solutions for flare reduction, CCUS, hydrogen production, transportation, storage and distribution, geothermal and clean power, and emission-abatement solutions. Over the past several years, we have made progress in strategic investments and acquisitions in emerging energy technologies to advance CCUS, hydrogen, clean power and e-fuels, and have established strategic partnerships with companies such as Fervo Energy, Frontier Carbon Solutions, HIF Global, and NET Power. Our Sustainability Advisory enables us to complement our low-to zero-carbon solutions with expert capabilities that help customers quantify and reduce emissions more efficiently, while also continuing to expand our low-to zero-carbon solutions.

•Digital & artificial intelligence ("AI") advancement: We are seeing growing demand for more intelligent operations and the adoption of AI-based solutions as part of our customers' digital transformations. Across industrial and energy markets, digital is both an enabler and a driver, unlocking new levels of efficiency and productivity in operations, while simultaneously generating significantly incremental demand for power to support digital-intensive industries, including data centers. In 2025, we booked $1 billion of orders tied to data center applications. We now expect to book approximately $3 billion of data center-related orders between 2025 and 2027 – underscoring the relevance of our power solutions in this fast-growing market.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our two operating segments are organized based on the focus of our markets and on customers' buying priorities. We sell to our customers through direct and indirect channels. Our primary sales channel is through our direct sales force, which has a strong regional focus with local teams close to the customer, who are able to draw support from centers of excellence in each of our major product lines. Our products and services are sold in highly competitive markets and the competitive environment varies by product line. See discussion below by segment.

Oilfield Services & Equipment

The OFSE segment designs and manufactures products and provides related services and integrated solutions for onshore and offshore oilfield operations across the life cycle of an asset, ranging from exploration, appraisal, and development to production, rejuvenation, and decommissioning.

Beyond its conventional oilfield focus, OFSE is also expanding its capabilities and technology portfolio to focus on new energy areas, such as geothermal and CCUS; strengthening its digital architecture; and addressing key energy market themes.

The OFSE segment is organized into four product lines.

•Well Construction focuses on drilling and includes drilling services (directional drilling, logging-while-drilling, surface logging, and remote operations), drill bits (polycrystalline, roller cone, hybrid, and in-bit sensing), and drilling & completion fluids (emulsion-based, water-based, specialty, drill-in, and completion fluids; and waste management).

•Completions, Intervention, and Measurements encompasses completions (wellbore construction, upper and lower completions, unconventional multistage completions, intelligent production systems, workover systems, and fishing and through-tubing services), pressure pumping (cementing, production enhancement,

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 2

coiled tubing, and tubular running services), and wireline services (openhole logging services, cased-hole logging services, and perforating and drill stem-testing services).

•Production Solutions spans artificial lift systems (electrical submersible pumping systems, surface pumping systems, rigless deployment systems, and sensors and gauges) and oilfield & industrial chemicals (upstream, downstream, and AquanessTM wholesale chemicals).

•Subsea & Surface Pressure Systems includes subsea projects and services (subsea trees, controls, manifolds, wellheads, premium casing connectors, installation and commissioning, repairs and maintenance, well intervention, life-of-field solutions, and plug and abandonment), flexible pipe systems (subsea risers, subsea flowlines and jumpers, onshore reinforced thermoplastic pipe, and rehabilitation), and surface pressure control systems (surface trees and wellheads). In June 2025, the Company announced the creation of a joint venture with a subsidiary of Cactus, Inc. ("Cactus"), to which Baker Hughes will contribute its surface pressure control business. The formation of the joint venture was completed on January 1, 2026.

These product lines are supported by the OFSE digital group, which combines OFSE's domain expertise with a deep understanding of digital technology to improve operational safety, performance, and sustainability. Reservoir analysis proficiencies are rooted in a combination of evaluation technologies, a team of reservoir experts, and software. Together, these capabilities drive enhanced economics by providing a greater understanding of the subsurface and by enabling smoother, faster drilling and precise wellbore placement. OFSE also provides integrated well services and solutions for planning and executing projects that range from well construction and production through well abandonment, in addition to integrated services and solutions for the subsea environment.

OFSE customers include large integrated major and super-major oil and natural gas companies; U.S. and international independent oil and natural gas companies; national or state-owned oil and natural gas companies; engineering, procurement, and construction contractors; geothermal and other renewable companies; and other oilfield services companies. OFSE believes that its principal competitive differentiators in the industries and markets it serves are the technology, quality, efficiency, reliability, and availability of its products and services. A continued commitment to service delivery, HSE standards, technical proficiency, and competitive pricing are also key factors in its success.

OFSE products and services are sold in highly competitive markets. While OFSE may have contracts that include multiple well projects and that may extend over a multi-year period, its services and products are generally provided on a well-by-well basis. Most contracts cover pricing of the products and services, along with various limitations on liability, but do not necessarily establish an obligation to use OFSE products and services. OFSE competitors include SLB, Halliburton, NOV, Weatherford, and TechnipFMC.

Chart Industries Transaction

On July 29, 2025, Baker Hughes announced a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of Chart Industries, Inc. ("Chart"). Chart is a global leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of process technologies and equipment for gas and liquid molecule handling across a broad range of industrial and energy end markets. Under the terms of the agreement, Chart shareholders will receive $210 per share of common stock in cash. Chart reported revenue of approximately $3.18 billion for the nine months ending September 30, 2025. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, received the approval of Chart shareholders at a special meeting held on October 6, 2025. With regulatory reviews still underway in certain jurisdictions, we presently expect closing in the second quarter of 2026, understanding that the timing may evolve as those processes progress.

CONTRACTS

We conduct our business under various types of contracts across the energy and industrial value chain, including the upstream, midstream (including LNG), and downstream sectors, and in New Energy markets such as geothermal, CCUS, hydrogen, emissions abatement, and other decarbonization solutions. Our agreements span fixed-fee or turnkey contracts, transactional agreements for products and services, frame and master service agreements, integrated project and alliance models, equipment supply with aftermarket service agreements, and subscription or license agreements for digital software, data, and analytics solutions.

We benefit from stable relationships with many customers based on long-term project contracts and master service agreements. Several of those contracts require us to commit to fixed or firm pricing against customer technical specifications, often with limited relief for changes in circumstances. In certain cases, failure to deliver products or perform services within contractual commitments may lead to liquidated damages or service‑level credits. We seek to mitigate these exposures through disciplined project management, collaboration with our customers, and risk reviews during the bid and execution phases.

We strive to negotiate terms consistent with industry best practices. In connection with oil and gas operations, our customer contracts often adopt a knock‑for‑knock indemnity framework. Under this approach, our customers typically indemnify us for claims arising from: (i) injury or death of their employees and often their contractors; (ii) loss of or damage to their property and equipment, and often that of their contractors; (iii) pollution originating from their property and equipment; and (iv) liabilities related to the well and subsurface operations, including loss or damage to the well or reservoir, loss of well control, fire, explosion, or any uncontrolled flow of oil or gas. Conversely, where a knock‑for‑knock indemnity applies, we typically indemnify our customers for claims arising from: (i) injury or death of our employees and often our subcontractors; (ii) loss of or damage to our property and equipment; and (iii) surface pollution originating from our equipment while under our control. For industrial and digital offerings, where knock‑for‑knock is not standard, our contracts typically provide fault‑based indemnities (for example, for third‑party claims to the extent caused by our negligence) subject to negotiated caps and an overall limitation of liability. We also generally seek to negotiate exclusions for consequential losses, including lost profits

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 5

and revenue. For software and data solutions, we may provide limited intellectual property infringement indemnities and set out data usage, privacy, cybersecurity, and service‑level terms that are customary for such offerings.

Our indemnity structure may not protect us in every case. Some U.S. jurisdictions have oil and natural gas-specific anti-indemnity statutes that can void or limit agreed allocations of liability, particularly where indemnities purport to cover a party's own negligence without the required insurance support. Applicable law or negotiated contract terms may also limit indemnity obligations in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct, breaches of applicable law, or breaches of confidentiality or intellectual property rights. Where we contract through intermediaries that are not the end user, we seek indemnity protection against end-user claims, but this is not always achievable. Likewise, government agencies and third parties may make claims for which indemnity does not apply and liability is assessed proportionate to fault. To address the multitude of contractual frameworks and the different liability postures of our customers globally, we maintain an established process to review and approve deviations from our standard contracting practices.

We maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy program that covers against certain operating hazards, including product liability claims and personal injury claims, as well as certain limited environmental pollution claims for damage to a third party or its property arising out of contact with pollution for which we are liable; however, clean up and well control costs are not covered by such program. All of the insurance policies purchased by us are subject to deductible and/or self-insured retention amounts for which we are responsible for payment, specific terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. There can be no assurance that the nature and amount of our insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities related to our business.

ORDERS AND REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

Remaining performance obligations ("RPO"), a defined term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), are unfilled customer orders for products and product services excluding any purchase order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty, even if the likelihood of cancellation is remote based on historical experience. For product services, an amount is included for the expected life of the contract.

We recognized orders of $29.6 billion, $28.2 billion, and $30.5 billion in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We recognized OFSE orders of $14.7 billion, $15.2 billion, and $16.3 billion, and IET orders of $14.9 billion, $13.0 billion, and $14.2 billion in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, RPO totaled $35.9 billion. As of December 31, 2025, OFSE RPO totaled $3.5 billion, and IET RPO totaled $32.4 billion.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We engage in R&D activities across the business directed toward the development of new products, services, technology, and other solutions, as well as bringing about a significant improvement to existing products and services, and the design of specialized products to meet specific customer needs. We also continue to invest and develop a range of technologies that support our customers' efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we invested $600 million of R&D expense.

In OFSE, we continue to fund a range of formation evaluation, drilling, completions, and production capabilities and products. In parallel, and in strong collaboration with the IET technology organization, we are investing in strategic themes that fuel our future product and service portfolios. These include themes such as digital, automation, electrification, chemistry and materials, electronics, CCUS, and geothermal.

Specifically for OFSE, in our Well Construction product line, we are improving reliability in high-temperature and high shock and vibration environments (harsh-drilling conditions), through a combination of optimized design, automated operations, and integrated solutions that leverage our drilling tools, drill bits, and drilling fluids technologies. In our Completions, Intervention, and Measurements product line, we are investing in intelligent solutions and advanced measurements while creating a leadership position in the well-intervention domain through the integration of our wireline measurement capabilities with the conveyance and intervention capabilities. In our Production Solutions product line, we are leveraging our artificial lift technologies with our chemical solutions to provide an optimized and automated portfolio of production-enhancing solutions. In our Subsea & Surface Pressure Systems product line, we continue to develop subsea production systems that improve performance and reduce emissions through lighter design, automated operations, and electrification. Our offshore flexible pipe systems

optimized for higher pressure temperature and CO2 content continue to deliver greater sustainability and performance.

In IET, we continue to invest in and develop foundational technologies which will enable our journey for the energy transition. Such technologies include advanced materials, advanced manufacturing technologies, novel process technologies, and digital technologies such as advanced sensing & diagnostics, data sciences, and AI. Within Gas Technology Equipment and Gas Technology Services product lines, we are focusing on our latest generation of gas turbines for energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint such as our LM9000TM and Nova LTTM products, CCUS, hydrogen and geothermal technologies. Within Industrial Technology, we are investing in advanced digital solutions designed to improve the efficiency, reliability, and safety of oil and gas, aerospace, energy, and broader industrial production and operations. This includes our Orbit 60 Bently Nevada product for critical asset monitoring in turbine systems, including wind, hydro, and gas turbines. The IET segment is also enhancing its process and safety valve business bringing new digital applications including analytics to our customers. Investments in Industrial Technology also include technologies to measure, monitor, and minimize carbon emissions, new inspection technologies for nondestructive evaluation of materials and structures as well as solutions for industrial asset management.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Baker Hughes' intellectual property, including its technology, brands, and proprietary information, are important to our business, and we seek to protect them through a range of intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other similar protections ("IP rights"). Baker Hughes maintains a globally distributed intellectual property portfolio, with protection in numerous jurisdictions through thousands of patent applications, issued patents, copyrights, and trade secrets. Baker Hughes also strives to protect its intellectual property in dealings with third parties through specific intellectual property terms in agreements, such as in confidentiality, sales, and co-development agreements.

In addition, Baker Hughes benefits from licenses to additional intellectual property from third parties that support its products and services, such as from GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE), GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), and GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. ("GE HealthCare") (NASDAQ: GEHC). In particular, Baker Hughes has: i) an intellectual property cross-license agreement with GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, and GE HealthCare that allows all parties to have continued rights to commercially utilize certain intellectual property of the other pursuant to the terms of the agreement, ii) a heavy duty gas turbine distribution and supply agreement that licenses certain intellectual property of GE Vernova to Baker Hughes, and iii) a second amended and restated supply and technology development agreement with GE Vernova, GE Aerospace, and the aeroderivative joint venture ("Aero JV") which governs the supply of certain aeroderivative technology to us and regulates intellectual property licenses amongst the parties where relevant. While the above agreements have been amended from time to time, these agreements remain in place. Baker Hughes does not consider any individual patent to be material to its overall business operations.

We follow a policy of seeking patent and trademark protection in numerous countries and regions throughout the world for products and methods that we believe have commercial significance. We believe that maintenance, protection and enforcement of our IP rights is central to the conduct of our business, and pursue infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of our IP rights worldwide as may be necessary to protect our business. Additionally, we consider the quality and timely delivery of our products, the service we provide to our customers, and the technical knowledge and skills of our personnel to be other important components of the portfolio of capabilities and assets supporting our ability to compete. If we are not able to protect our IP rights or if those IP rights are invalidated or circumvented, our business may be adversely affected. We may be subject to litigation and infringement claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products or services.

SEASONALITY

Our operations can be affected by seasonal events, which can temporarily impact the delivery and performance of our products and services, and our customers' budgetary cycles. Examples of seasonal events that can impact our business are set forth below:

•In OFSE, adverse weather conditions may impact our operations or our customers' operations, cause supply disruptions and result in a loss of revenue and/or damage to our equipment and facilities, which may

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 7

or may not be insured. For more information on seasonal and weather conditions, see the "Operational Risks" section of Part 1 of Item 1A herein.

•Many of our international OFSE customers may increase activity for certain products and services in the fourth quarter as they seek to fully utilize their annual budgets.

•Our broader IET businesses typically experience higher customer activity in the second half of the year as a result of spending patterns.

RAW MATERIALS

We purchase various raw materials and component parts for use in manufacturing our products and delivering our services. The principal raw materials we use include steel alloys, chromium, nickel, titanium, barite, beryllium, copper, lead, tungsten carbide, synthetic and natural diamonds, gels, sand and other proppants, printed circuit boards and other electronic components, and hydrocarbon-based chemical feed stocks. Raw materials that are essential to our business are normally readily available from multiple sources but may be subject to price volatility. We have seen prices stabilize for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other raw materials, but availability of nickel based super alloys, tungsten carbide, and rare earth components are constrained. Tariffs caused some global supply chain unease in early 2025 and we expect continued management of these impacts to continue in 2026. Our procurement teams utilize advanced planning and may enter into strategic agreements with our global suppliers to minimize price impacts and other availability challenges. We anticipate some pricing increase and fulfillment volatility for certain raw materials and components to continue through 2026.

In addition to raw materials and component parts, we also use the products and services of metal fabricators, machine shops, foundries, forge shops, assembly operations, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, packagers, indirect material providers, and others in order to produce and deliver products to customers. These materials and services are generally available from multiple sources.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability, rooted in the framework of People, Planet, and Principles, is integral to our business strategy and operations. For us, sustainability means advancing energy technologies that reduce emissions, enhance efficiency, and deliver long‑term value to stakeholders.

Our planet‑centered strategy focuses on operational improvements and innovative technologies to lower our environmental impact while expanding low‑carbon solutions for customers. We recognize climate change as both a challenge and an opportunity, and our commitments are centered on emissions reduction. We have set clear targets to cut Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 50% by 2030 and to achieve net‑zero emissions by 2050, in alignment with the Paris Agreement and the recommendations of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Our continued alignment strengthens our efforts to mitigate climate risk, accelerates our role in the energy transition, and unlocks growth across industrial and energy markets.

Progress toward these goals is demonstrated in our 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report ("CSR"), where we reported a 29.3% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to our 2019 base year, alongside a 39.5% intensity reduction. Key initiatives supporting these results include facility consolidation, increased use of renewable electricity, infrastructure upgrades, and electrification of our vehicle fleet.

Our sustainability approach extends across the value chain, engaging suppliers through assessments and partnerships to strengthen resilience and performance. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint, uphold the highest standards of integrity, and foster an inclusive company for all our stakeholders. We also emphasize the importance of our people by focusing on talent development, employee well‑being, inclusion, and community engagement, recognizing that our success is intrinsically linked to the strength of our workforce.

Strong governance underpins our sustainability strategy. We maintain audited and assured reporting processes to ensure transparency and accountability for stakeholders and investors. Our commitments include participation in the UN Global Compact and alignment with its Ten Principles and Sustainable Development Goals, reaffirmed annually since 2019. Our latest CSR is available on the Company section of our website at www.bakerhughes.com.

Social & Human Capital

At Baker Hughes, people are at the heart of what we do, and their adaptability is essential to fostering creativity and developing solutions that keep the Company at the forefront of the industry. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 56,000 employees. More than 45,000 of our employees work outside the U.S. in over 85 different countries with more than 150 nationalities represented. This global composition underscores our ability to respond effectively to customer needs across markets.

In 2025, we advanced our unified talent strategy, a comprehensive approach to human capital management designed to attract, develop, and retain talent. This strategy provides broad opportunity for leadership development opportunities and strengthens governance around performance development, succession planning, talent assessment, individual development plans, and mobility. It supports the recruitment and retention of high-caliber candidates through career pathways, upskilling initiatives, and a positive work culture.

We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential to organizational success, innovation, and resilience. By integrating talent management processes, we enhance the employee experience through development opportunities and a supportive environment that fosters growth and creativity. Agility remains critical in the energy sector, and our approach ensures a flexible, skilled workforce capable of adapting to market conditions. We continue to prioritize internal mobility, which reinforces long‑term career opportunities. Leadership remains accountable for embedding our culture across the enterprise, with measurable outcomes, transparent goals, and clear accountability supporting a stronger, more innovative future.

Compensation and Benefits

We follow a pay‑for‑performance philosophy and are committed to providing fair and equitable compensation across the organization. We regularly benchmark our total compensation and benefits against industry peers and local markets to ensure competitiveness and equity. Core offerings include healthcare coverage, life insurance, retirement savings plans, disability coverage, and leave options to support family care and quality‑of‑life needs.

We also provide comprehensive wellness programs designed to promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. These include preventive health initiatives, fitness and wellness resources, counseling services, and employee assistance programs. Flexible work arrangements—such as hybrid schedules, compressed work weeks, and remote work options—are available to support engagement and retention. In addition, recognition programs, career development support, and community engagement initiatives strengthen employee connections and reinforce our culture.

Together, these compensation, benefits, and wellness programs reflect our commitment to fair treatment, employee wellbeing, and long‑term organizational success.

Learning and Development

Learning and Development at Baker Hughes empowers employees to grow through continual attainment of knowledge, skills, and expertise that drive both professional and personal success. In 2025, we launched the Unified Learning Framework, guided by our Talent Empowerment Strategy, to provide a structured yet flexible approach to development. It addresses the needs of individual contributors, leaders, identified talent, and executives while aligning learning with performance, succession planning, and Individual Development Plans.

This holistic framework ensures learning is embedded in career progression, strengthens leadership pipelines, accelerates readiness for complex roles, and builds a future-ready workforce. Learning and Development is a personal journey at Baker Hughes.

Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

At Baker Hughes, we believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation and strengthen our long‑term success. We value people from all walks of life, embracing diversity in all its forms. We are committed to maintaining an

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 9

inclusive and safe workplace, supported by learning and development programs, competitive compensation and benefits, health and wellness initiatives, and opportunities that connect employees with their communities. These elements are critical to our business success and our mission of advancing energy solutions for our customers and the industry. Our Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging framework builds teams that reflect the stakeholders and communities we serve globally, while fostering respect and uniting around our shared purpose. In 2025, we advanced these priorities through initiatives such as the People First program, which expanded to eighteen languages to make our culture accessible across geographies. We also partner with Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs") and Communities of Interest ("COIs"), which are open to all our employees and community members, to foster our inclusive culture and embed inclusion into daily work practices, including nominating charitable organizations for grants from the Baker Hughes Foundation (the "Foundation").

We recognize that inclusion is not only a matter of respect but a strategic advantage that fosters innovation and enhances performance. Our enterprise-wide strategy ensures that we remain focused on building a stronger, more inclusive organization for all employees.

Health, Safety, Environment, and Wellness

HSE is at the core of our culture as we are committed to doing the right thing to protect our employees, customers, the communities where we live and work, and the environment. We take a risk-based approach with proactive and preventive programs to deliver safe, secure, and sustainable operations. We have established a stringent set of standards which meet or exceed global HSE regulatory requirements.

Our commitment to HSE starts at the highest levels of our Company and is embedded throughout all layers of the organization. We encourage and empower all employees to take an active role in "owning" HSE by stopping work when conditions and/or behaviors are unsafe and reporting through open reporting channels. Our ambition is to ensure each day we operate without serious injuries, accidents, or harm to the environment. Employees are required to complete recurring HSE training to bring awareness to potential hazards, regulatory obligations, and performing activities safely. We offer over 260 HSE courses, including foundational training required for all employees, workplace and job-specific training, and human-performance leadership training for managers.

Our commitment to HSE goes beyond safety alone. Occupational health and wellness is a key competency jointly managed within our HSE and Human Resources ("HR") teams. The importance of physical health, ergonomics, preventative health care, and mental wellness cannot be overstated in promoting a healthy, engaged, and productive workplace. We work with our health benefit providers and internal teams to offer employees health and wellness programs, telemedicine access, health screenings, immunizations, fitness reimbursements, and virtual wellness tools. Focus areas in 2025 included ergonomic injury prevention, heart health, and wellbeing.

While ergonomic injuries are not prevalent globally in our operations, we recognize the importance of prevention to alleviate potential for lasting impacts to employees related to recovery and medical intervention. In 2025, we assessed several years of data to evaluate our ergonomic risk factors across operational sites and collaborated with our global teams to share learnings and best practices to reduce risk through pre-job evaluations, stretching programs for employees, and task-oriented assessments to further reduce risk through elimination or modification of tasks, replacement of tools, and workstation modifications.

Heart health of our employees was a focus in 2025, with our Your Heart Matters campaign offering education and resources to empower employees to make heart health a priority. Several employee engagement sessions were offered, featuring medical experts and employees who provided their personal journeys related to heart events. Additionally, monthly messaging was shared with employees on key topics including risk factors, diagnostic resources, stress management, nutrition, and exercise. We also focused on the importance of preparedness across our sites regarding lifesaving equipment, training, and drills to help our employees recognize and act in the event of an emergency. We are pleased to hear feedback from employees who were inspired by the campaign and took steps that led to diagnosis and preventative medical support.

In 2025, the mental health and emotional wellbeing of our employees remained a critical priority. Following a wellbeing survey issued to employees, we held numerous discussions with teams to discuss results and committed to drive company-wide initiatives to better support mental wellbeing. Baker Hughes held a wellbeing week featuring broadcasts and in person events with significant employee participation. We also offered a new training program for managers designed to enhance and support mental wellbeing in the workplace. Our Employee Assistance Program

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 10

provided employees and their family members direct access to professional coaches for in-the-moment counseling or referrals to community experts and extended care providers to navigate daily life and cope with major life events.

Community Involvement

We seek to make a positive impact in the communities where we operate worldwide. Consistent with our purpose and values, we focus on advancing environmental quality, educational opportunities, health, and wellness. We contribute through financial support, in‑kind donations of goods and services, and employee volunteer projects that strengthen local communities.

The Foundation plays a central role in our community engagement by making strategic philanthropic contributions, matching employee charitable donations, and awarding volunteer recognition grants for outstanding service. In 2025, the Foundation supported initiatives aligned with our sustainability priorities, including environmental stewardship; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, or STEM, education; and health and wellness programs. The Foundation also partners with local organizations to deliver community projects that address specific regional needs.

Employee involvement is a cornerstone of our approach. Through volunteerism, participation in ERGs, and community engagement programs, our workforce helps extend the Company's impact beyond business operations. These efforts reinforce our culture of responsibility and demonstrate our commitment to building stronger, more resilient communities across the globe.

Governance

The Board of Directors (the "Board") believes the purpose of corporate governance is to maximize shareholder value in a manner consistent with legal requirements and the highest standards of integrity. The Board has adopted and adheres to corporate governance practices, which the Board and management believe promote this purpose, are sound, and represent best practices. The Board periodically reviews these governance practices, Delaware law (the state in which the Company is incorporated), the rules and listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and SEC regulations, as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities.

The Board monitors and provides oversight over our sustainability policies, programs, and practices regarding corporate responsibility and plays an active role in overseeing our human capital management efforts. The Board's Human Capital and Compensation Committee provides oversight of our social strategy, policies, programs, and initiatives focusing on pay equity, culture, talent development, succession planning, and executive compensation and benefits. The Board's Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee provides oversight of our environmental matters, including monitoring its sustainability strategy and initiatives, the management of employee health, safety, and wellness matters, and oversight of our positions on corporate social responsibilities and public issues of significance, including those related to privacy, digital safety and responsible AI, which affect investors and other key stakeholders. The Board's Audit Committee provides oversight over our risk assessment and risk management policies and processes, including data privacy, AI, and compliance reporting. The Board's Finance Committee provides oversight of our financial and investment policies and of our principal finance, banking, and treasury matters, including our capital structure (both equity and debt) and the principal terms of related financing transactions and requirements.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 11

COMPLIANCE

In the conduct of all of our activities, we are committed to maintaining our core values, as well as high safety, ethical, and quality standards as also reported in our Quality Management System. We believe such a commitment is integral to running a sound, successful, and sustainable business. We devote significant resources to maintain a comprehensive global ethics and compliance program ("Compliance Program") which is designed to prevent, detect, and appropriately respond to any potential violations of the law, the Code of Conduct, and other Company policies and procedures.

Highlights of our Compliance Program include the following:

•Comprehensive internal policies over such areas as anti-bribery; travel, entertainment, gifts, sponsorships and charitable donations to government officials and other parties; third-party risk, including payments and discounts to authorized intermediaries such as resellers and sales representatives; and conflicts of interest. In addition, there are policies and procedures to address customs requirements, visa processing risks, export and re-export controls, economic sanctions, anti-money laundering, antitrust and anti-boycott laws.

•Global and independent structure of Chief Compliance Officer and other compliance professionals providing compliance advice, customized training and governance, as well as investigating allegations across all regions and countries where we do business.

•Comprehensive employee compliance training program that combines instructor-led and web-based training modules tailored to the key risks that employees face on an ongoing basis.

•Onboarding, due diligence and monitoring procedures for third parties who conduct business on our behalf, including channel partners (sales representatives, distributors, resellers), and administrative service providers.

•Due diligence procedures for acquisition activities.

•Specifically tailored compliance risk assessments and audits focused on country and third-party risk.

•Compliance Review Board comprised of senior officers of the Company that meets quarterly to monitor effectiveness of the Compliance Program, as well as segment compliance review boards that meet quarterly.

•Technology to monitor and report on compliance matters, including an internal investigations management system, a conflict of interest reporting and management system, a data privacy incident reporting and management system, a web-based anti-boycott reporting tool, global trade management systems and comprehensive watch list and negative news screening.

•Data privacy compliance policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable data privacy requirements.

•A compliance program designed to create an "Open Reporting Environment" where employees are encouraged to report any ethics or compliance matter without fear of retaliation, including a global network of trained employee ombudspersons, and a worldwide, 24-hour business helpline operated by a third party and available in approximately 200 languages.

•Anti-corruption audits of high-risk countries, as well as risk-based compliance audits of third parties.

•Region-specific processes and procedures for management of HR related issues, including pre-hire screening of employees; a process to screen existing employees prior to promotion into select roles where they may be exposed to finance and/or corruption-related risks; and implementation of a global new hire training module which includes compliance training for all employees.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

Environmental Matters

We are committed to the health and safety of people, protection of the environment and compliance with environmental laws, regulations and our policies. Our past and present operations include activities that are subject to extensive domestic (including U.S. federal, state and local) and international regulations concerning, among other things, air and water quality, waste management, occupational health and safety, and wildlife and land protection. Environmental regulations continue to evolve, and changes in standards of enforcement of existing regulations, as well as the enactment of new legislation or the issuance of judicial or agency opinions or orders, may require us and our customers to modify, supplement or replace equipment or facilities, obtain new or updated permits to conduct regulated activities, initiate investigatory and/or remedial measures, apply specific HSE criteria addressing employee protection and/or to change or discontinue present methods of operation. Our environmental compliance expenditures and our capital costs for environmental control equipment may change accordingly.

Ongoing environmental compliance costs, such as obtaining environmental permits, installation and maintenance of pollution control equipment and waste disposal, are expensed as incurred. Based upon current information, we believe that our overall environmental regulatory compliance obligations, including investigatory and/or remediation obligations, environmental compliance costs and capital expenditures for environmental control equipment, will not have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position because we have either established adequate reserves or our compliance cost, based on available information, is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.

While we seek to embed and verify sound environmental practices throughout our business, we are, and may in the future be, involved in investigation and/or remediation projects at current and former properties, typically related to historical operations and operations of our predecessor companies. In some cases, our remediation activities are conducted as specified by a government agency-issued consent decree or agreed order. Remediation costs at these properties are accrued using currently available facts, existing environmental permits, technology and presently enacted laws and regulations. For sites where we have primary responsibility for the remediation, our cost estimates are developed based on internal evaluations and are not discounted. We record accruals when it is probable that we will be obligated to pay amounts for environmental site evaluation, investigation and/or remediation or related activities, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are recorded even if significant uncertainties exist over the ultimate cost of the remediation. Our total accrual for environmental remediation was $53 million and $54 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Other Regulatory Matters

We are subject to regulation by various U.S. federal regulatory agencies and by the applicable regulatory authorities in countries in which our products are manufactured or sold. Such regulations principally relate to the ingredients, classification, labeling, safety, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, advertising, and marketing of our products. Additionally, because we operate through subsidiaries in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we are subject to foreign exchange ("FX") control, transfer pricing and customs laws that regulate the import and export of goods as well as the flow of funds between us and our subsidiaries. In particular, the shipment of goods, services and technology across international borders subjects us to extensive trade laws and regulations. Our import activities are governed by the unique customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. Pursuant to their laws and regulations, governments may impose economic sanctions against certain countries, persons and entities that may restrict or prohibit transactions involving such countries, persons and entities, which may limit or prevent our conduct of business in certain jurisdictions. We are also required to comply with transfer pricing, securities laws, tariff laws, and other statutes and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other countries' anti-corruption and anti-bribery regimes.

As a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in February of 2022, governments in the U.S., United Kingdom ("U.K."), European Union ("EU"), and other countries enacted sanctions against Russia and certain Russian interests. As previously announced on March 19, 2022, we suspended any new investments in our Russia operations, but continued to comply with applicable laws and regulations as we fulfilled existing contractual obligations. As a result, we completed a number of actions during the course of 2022 and 2023 including the sale of part of our OFSE Russia business and suspended substantially all of our remaining operational activities in Russia. In 2024 and 2025, our focus in Russia has been to continue to close local entities within the scope of western

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 13

sanctions and local regulation. We are continuing to closely monitor the developments in Ukraine and Russia and changes to sanctions, all of which continued to make ongoing operations increasingly complex and significantly more challenging.

We are also subject to laws relating to data privacy and security and consumer credit, protection and fraud. An increasing number of governments worldwide have established laws and regulations, and industry groups also have promoted various standards, regarding data privacy and security, including with respect to the protection and processing of personal data. The legal and regulatory environment related to data privacy and security is increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to our business, and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. We are also subject to laws relating to AI. An increasing number of governments worldwide have established laws and regulations regarding AI, including generative AI and agentic AI, with differing definitions, foci, and requirements. As the AI landscape changes and new tools become available, the effect of each of the changing laws and regulations remains uncertain. We are also subject to domestic and international labor and employment laws, including regulations established by the U.S. Department of Labor and other local regulatory agencies, which set laws governing working conditions, paid leave, workplace safety, wage and hour standards, and hiring and employment practices.

While there are no current environmental or regulatory matters that we expect to have a material adverse impact on the results of our operations, financial position or cash flows or our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position, there can be no assurances that existing or future environmental laws and other laws, regulations and standards, judicial or administrative opinions or orders applicable to our operations or products will not lead to such a material adverse impact.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves various risks. When considering an investment in the Company, one should carefully consider all of the risk factors described below, as well as other information included and incorporated by reference in this Annual Report. There may be additional risks, uncertainties and matters not listed below, that we are unaware of, or that we currently consider immaterial. Any of these may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and, thus, the value of an investment in the Company.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

We operate in a highly competitive environment, which may adversely affect our ability to succeed. Our investments in new technologies, equipment, and facilities may not provide competitive returns.

We operate in a highly competitive environment for marketing our products and services and securing equipment across our portfolio. Our ability to continually provide competitive products and services can impact our ability to defend, maintain or increase prices for our products and services, maintain market share, and negotiate acceptable contract terms with our customers. In order to be competitive, we must provide new and differentiating technologies, reliable products and services that perform as expected and that create value for our customers.

We continue to invest in new technologies, equipment, and facilities and to expand our capabilities and technology portfolio to meet the challenges of a net-zero future. These efforts include expanding into new energy areas such as geothermal and CCUS, strengthening our digital architecture and addressing key energy market themes. Our ability to defend, maintain or increase prices for our products and services is in part dependent on the industry's capacity relative to customer demand, on our ability to differentiate the value delivered by our products and services from our competitors' products and services and to provide innovative and competitive products and services to meet our client's evolving needs with respect to new energy areas. Managing development of competitive technology and new product introductions on a forecasted schedule and at a forecasted cost can impact our financial results. If we are unable to continue to develop and produce competitive and innovative technology or deliver it to our clients in a timely and cost-competitive manner in response to changes in the market, customer requirements, competitive pressures, or if competing technology accelerates the obsolescence of any of our products or services, any competitive advantage that we may hold, and in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

We have, and may in the future enter into, agreements with third parties to jointly develop certain technologies which may include financial or other commitments. Under the terms of these agreements, we may agree to share in the associated development and marketing costs for the developed technologies. There can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully develop these technologies in collaboration with these third parties that will adequately meet our customers' needs. Also, there can be no assurances that these joint development agreements will be commercially viable, successful or profitable. As a result, these joint development agreements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The potential slowdown and shift in the energy transition could have an adverse effect on the demand for our clean energy technologies and services.

There is ongoing focus by governments and our customers, investors and other stakeholders on climate change, sustainability, and energy transition matters. However, the pace and direction of the transition to a lower-

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 16

carbon economy has become increasingly uncertain and variable across different regions and markets. Recent developments indicate a potential slowdown in energy transition efforts, with sustained or increased demand for traditional oil and gas in certain markets.

These shifts may result from various factors, including changes in government policies and priorities, economic pressures, energy security concerns, and evolving consumer and industrial demand patterns. Such changes could include the delay, modification or reversal of climate change-related regulations and initiatives; slower-than-anticipated adoption of renewable energy technologies; continued or increased reliance on oil and natural gas as primary energy sources; and reduced near-term demand from consumers and industry for lower-emission products and services.

Our future success depends on our ability to effectively adapt our business strategy to align with the actual pace and direction of energy transition as it evolves. We have invested in developing innovative technologies and solutions for clean energy applications, including geothermal, CCUS, hydrogen energy, and other integrated solutions. As the energy transition slows and demand shifts back toward traditional oil and gas applications, the market for our clean energy technologies and services may not develop as anticipated, which could adversely affect our revenue from these segments and the return on our investments in clean energy innovation. Additionally, if we have allocated resources away from traditional oil and gas applications in anticipation of a faster energy transition, we may not be positioned to capture opportunities in markets where demand for conventional energy services remains strong or increases.

Furthermore, the uncertainty and variability in energy transition timelines across different regions may make it difficult to optimize our portfolio and resource allocation decisions. Our ability to achieve our strategic objectives and financial targets depends on accurately anticipating market demand across both traditional and emerging energy solutions, and a mismatch between our strategic positioning and actual market conditions could materially impact our financial performance and access to capital.

Disruptions in our supply chain, the high cost or unavailability of raw materials, equipment, and supplies essential to our business could adversely affect our ability to execute our operations on a timely basis.

Our manufacturing operations are dependent on having sufficient raw materials, component parts and manufacturing capacity, including labor, available to meet our manufacturing plans on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost while minimizing inventories. Additional disruptions within our supply chain resulting from factors including, but not limited to, sanctions, tariffs, conflict, inflation, high interest rates, severe weather and natural disasters, and shortages in labor supply, have had and may continue to have an impact on our business and reputation. Many of the raw materials essential to our business require the use of rail, storage, and trucking services to transport the materials to our job sites. These services, particularly during times of high demand, may cause delays in the arrival of or otherwise constrain our supply of raw materials. These constraints could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated results of operations. In addition, price increases imposed by our vendors for raw materials and transportation providers used in our business, and the inability to pass these increases through to our customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated results of operations. As a result of these or any other factors, our ability to execute our operations on a timely basis, including our ability to meet our manufacturing plans and revenue goals, control costs, and avoid shortages or over-supply of raw materials and component parts, could be adversely affected.

The partial or complete loss of GE Vernova or GE Aerospace as suppliers, as well as contracts with our Aero JV with GE Vernova, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We currently have extensive commercial relationships with GE Vernova and GE Aerospace. Although we have long-term contractual frameworks in place with both GE Vernova and GE Aerospace, if either GE Vernova or GE Aerospace were to discontinue or reduce their business with the Company, fail to perform their obligations under existing contracts (such as our long-term supply agreement for heavy-duty gas turbines, the Second Amended and Restated Supply and Technology Development Agreement or the related intellectual property agreements with GE Aerospace) or experience disruptions, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 17

In addition to our contracts and arrangements with GE Aerospace and GE Vernova as direct suppliers, we also have exposure to GE Aerospace and GE Vernova through the Aero JV. The Aero JV is jointly controlled by GE Vernova and us, and as a result, realizing the benefits of this joint venture depends on the continued cooperation between the parties. In addition, the business and financial performance of the Aero JV may be adversely affected if GE Aerospace fails to perform its obligations under its contracts with the Aero JV. We in turn use certain products and services purchased through the Aero JV for the manufacture and maintenance of various end products, and therefore, failure of the Aero JV to perform for any reason could prevent us from fulfilling our contractual obligations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our proposed transaction with Chart creates business, regulatory, and reputational risks.

On July 28, 2025, we entered into a merger agreement with Chart, which sets forth the terms of our proposed transaction. The proposed transaction with Chart entails important risks, including, among others: the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transaction; the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory clearance of the proposed transaction; the effect of any potential conditions imposed by regulators in connection with the approval of the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement and the payment of a termination fee; the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been instituted and may in the future be instituted against the parties and others following announcement of the merger agreement and proposed transaction; the inability to consummate the proposed transaction due to the failure to satisfy other conditions to complete the proposed transaction; risks that the proposed transaction disrupts our current plans and operations; the ability to identify and recognize, including on the expected timeline, the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including anticipated total shareholder return, revenue and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") expectations and synergies; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the proposed transaction; our ability to successfully integrate Chart into our businesses and related operations, including our associates, and realize expected operations benefits, at the times and to the extent anticipated; the risk that results are different from those contained in forecasts when made; the risk that transaction and/or integration costs or dis-synergies are greater than expected, including as a result of conditions regulators put on any approvals of the proposed transaction; the potential effect of the announcement and/or consummation of the proposed transaction on relationships, including with associates, suppliers and competitors; our ability to maintain our current credit rating; the risk that management's attention is diverted from other matters; risks related to the potential effect of general economic, political and market factors, including changes in the financial markets; the risk of adverse effects on the market price of our or Chart's securities or on our or Chart's operating results for any reason; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; and other risks described in our filings with the SEC.

We may not be able to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of the transactions we complete, or find suitable target businesses to acquire.

From time to time, we have acquired and may in the future acquire or invest in businesses or partnerships that we believe could complement our business or offer growth opportunities. We expect to make additional acquisitions and strategic investments in the future but may not find suitable targets, or we may not be able to consummate such transactions due to, among other things, financial constraints, unfavorable credit markets, commercially unacceptable terms, failure to obtain regulatory approvals, and competitive bid dynamics or other risks, which could harm our operating results. The pursuit and integration of such acquisitions or investments may divert management's attention and cause us to incur various expenses. Acquisitions and investments may not perform as expected, be integrated as successfully as we anticipate or cause us to assume unrecognized or underestimated liabilities. These activities are complex, costly and time-consuming and pose a number of risks. Any delays or issues encountered in these activities could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

We may in the future divest certain product lines that no longer fit our long-term strategies. Divestitures may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition if we are unable to achieve the anticipated benefits or cost savings from such divestitures, or if we are unable to offset impacts from the loss of revenue associated with the divested product lines. Further, whether such divestitures are ultimately consummated or not, their pendency could have a number of negative effects on our current business, including disrupting our regular operations and increasing our costs. It could also disrupt existing business relationships, make it harder to develop new business relationships, or otherwise negatively impact the way that we operate our business.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 18

If we do not manage the foregoing risks, the transactions that we complete or are unable to complete may harm our brand and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, we may not be able to execute our business strategy effectively and our operations could be adversely affected.

Our operations and future success depend on our ability to recruit, train, and retain key personnel. People are a key resource to developing, manufacturing, and delivering our products and providing technical services and solutions to our customers around the world. A competent, well-trained, highly skilled, motivated, and diverse workforce has a positive impact on our ability to attract and retain business. Difficulties in hiring or retaining key employees, or the unexpected loss of experienced employees resulting in the depletion of our institutional knowledge base, could have an adverse impact on our business performance, reputation, financial condition, or results of operations. Additionally, successfully executing organizational change as we restructure the Company, management transitions at leadership levels of the Company, and motivation and retention of key employees is critical to our business success. Factors that may affect our ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified employees include: employee morale, our brand reputation as an employer of choice, competition from other employers, our location strategy for key roles, investments in technology and systems, and availability of qualified individuals with the desired skills and experiences needed to grow our business. Other factors that have, and could continue to impact our workforce, are: changes to our office environments and the impact this could have on our Company culture, the adoption of new work models, and our requirements and/or expectations about when or how often certain employees work on-site or remotely, which may not meet the expectations of our employees.

The implementation of any plan to restructure our corporate organization and operating segments may not achieve the results we anticipate, which could adversely affect our business.

From time to time, we will embark upon restructuring activities, whether in response to business operating cycles or for more significant programs of strategic significance (for example, the corporate realignment in 2022 which resulted in a focus on our two operating segments). Restructuring activities may be more costly than anticipated, and could lead to the diversion of management's attention from other business priorities. As a result of these or any other factors, we may not realize the anticipated benefits associated with the restructuring plan. There can be no assurance that the restructuring plan will materially increase our profitability. Even if the restructuring plan generates the benefits that we have anticipated, there may be other unforeseeable and unintended factors or consequences that occur as a result of the restructuring, which could adversely affect our business.

Our business could be impacted by both geopolitical and terrorism threats, including armed conflict, in countries where we or our customers do business and our business operations may be impacted by civil unrest and/or government expropriations.

Geopolitical and terrorism threats continue to grow in a number of key countries where we currently or may in the future do business. Geopolitical and terrorism threats, including armed conflict among countries, have led to, among other things, a loss of our investment in the country, adverse impact to our employees, and impairment of our or our customers' ability to conduct operations.

Further, the broader consequences of geopolitical and terrorism threats, which may include further sanctions that prohibit our ability to do business in specific countries, embargoes, supply chain disruptions, the potential inability to service our remaining performance obligations and potential contractual breaches and litigation, regional instability and geopolitical shifts, and the extent of any such threats effect on our business and results of operations as well as the global economy, cannot be predicted.

Certain geopolitical conflicts, such as between Russia and Ukraine, and instability, such as in the Middle East and the current political situation in Venezuela, have had and may continue to have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in our public filings, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on regional and global macroeconomic conditions; increased volatility in the price and demand of oil and natural gas, increased exposure to cyber-attacks; limitations in our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; risks to employees and contractors that we have in the region; disruptions in global supply chains; exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; potential nationalizations and assets seizures; constraints or disruption in the capital markets and our sources of liquidity; our potential inability to service our remaining performance obligations and potential contractual breaches and litigation.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 19

Any such risks may require us to record asset impairments and experience adverse operating impacts which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Control of oil and natural gas reserves by national oil companies may impact the demand for our services and products and create additional risks in our operations.

Much of the world's oil and natural gas reserves are controlled by national oil companies. National oil companies may require their contractors to meet local content requirements or other local standards, such as conducting our operations through joint ventures with local partners that could be difficult or undesirable for us to meet. The failure to meet the local content requirements and other local standards may adversely impact our operations in those countries. In addition, our ability to work with national oil companies is subject to our ability to negotiate and agree upon acceptable contract terms.

Our operations involve a variety of operating hazards and risks that could cause losses.

The products that we manufacture and the services that we provide are complex, and the failure of our equipment to operate properly or to meet specifications may greatly increase our customers' costs. In addition, many of these products are used in inherently hazardous environments across the energy and industrial sectors, including onshore and offshore oil and gas fields, LNG facilities, and other high-pressure or high-temperature applications. These hazards include blowouts, explosions, unplanned or uncontrolled releases, nuclear-related events, fires, collisions, capsizings, and severe weather conditions. We may incur substantial liabilities or losses as a result of these hazards. Our insurance and contractual indemnity protection may not be sufficient or effective to protect us under all circumstances or against all risks. The occurrence of a significant event, against which we were not fully insured or indemnified or the failure of a customer to meet its indemnification obligations to us, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Seasonal and weather conditions could adversely affect demand for our services and operations.

Variation from normal weather patterns, such as cooler or warmer summers and winters, can have a significant impact on demand for our services and operations. Adverse weather conditions may interrupt or curtail our operations, or our customers' operations, cause supply disruptions and result in a loss of revenue and damage to our equipment and facilities, which may or may not be insured. Such effects have the potential to affect business continuity and operating results, particularly at facilities in coastal areas or areas prone to chronic water scarcity, and could disrupt our operations or those of our customers or suppliers, including through direct damage to physical assets and indirect impacts from supply chain disruption and market volatility. Repercussions of severe or unseasonable weather conditions may include evacuation of personnel and curtailment of services, weather-related damage to offshore drilling rigs resulting in suspension of operations, weather-related damage to our facilities and project work sites, inability to deliver materials to job sites in accordance with contract schedules, decreases in demand for oil and natural gas during unseasonably warm winters, increased insurance premiums and deductibles or a decrease in the availability of coverage in areas subject to severe weather events, and loss of productivity. As a result of the above repercussions or any others, demand for our services and operations may be adversely affected.

While we evaluate and incorporate potential ranges of physical risks, it is difficult to predict with certainty the timing, frequency or severity of such events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

CREDIT AND CUSTOMER CONTRACTING RISKS

Providing services on an integrated, turnkey, or fixed price basis could require us to assume additional risks.

We may choose to enter into integrated or turnkey contracts with our customers that require us to provide services and equipment outside of our core business. Providing services on an integrated or turnkey basis may also subject us to additional risks, such as costs associated with unexpected delays or difficulties in drilling operations, project management interface risk, risks associated with subcontracting and consortium arrangements, and risks associated with production solutions or guarantees. These integrated or turnkey contracts may be fixed price contracts that do not allow us to recover for cost over-runs unless they are directly caused by the customer.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 20

We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications required under our service contracts and equipment purchase agreements.

Our products are used in deepwater, and other harsh environments, and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for our products and services, which may also include extensive testing requirements. In addition, scrutiny of the offshore drilling industry and LNG industry has resulted in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to ensure compliance with such specifications. We cannot provide assurance that our products, including products supplied through joint ventures or by third parties, will be able to satisfy the specifications necessary in all scenarios or under all operating conditions, nor that we will be able to perform the full-scale testing required to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect our results of operations.

We sometimes enter into consortium or similar arrangements for certain projects, which could impose additional costs and obligations on us.

We sometimes enter into consortium or similar arrangements for certain projects. Under such arrangements, each party is responsible for performing a certain scope of work within the total scope of the contracted work, and the obligations expire when all contractual obligations are completed. The failure or inability, financially or otherwise, of any of the parties to perform their obligations could impose additional costs and obligations on us. These factors could result in unanticipated costs to complete the project, liquidated damages or contract disputes.

Our contracts may be terminated early in certain circumstances.

Our contracts with customers generally may be terminated by the customer for convenience, default, or extended force majeure (which could include inability to perform due to a pandemic or as a result of civil unrest or armed conflicts). Termination for convenience may require the payment of an early termination fee by the customer, but the early termination fee may not fully compensate us for the loss of the contract. Termination by the customer for default or extended force majeure due to events outside of our control generally will not require the customer to pay an early termination fee.

Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected if our customers terminate some of our contracts, and we are unable to secure new contracts on a timely basis and on substantially similar terms, if payments due under our contracts are suspended for an extended period of time, or if a number of our contracts are renegotiated. Our RPO are comprised of unfulfilled customer orders for products and product services (expected life of contract sales for product services). The actual amount and timing of revenues earned may be substantially different than the reported RPO. The total dollar amount of the Company's RPO as of December 31, 2025 was $35.9 billion.

The credit risks of having a concentrated customer base in the energy industry could result in losses.

Having a concentration of customers in the energy industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk as our customers may be similarly affected by prolonged changes in economic and industry conditions. Some of our customers may experience extreme financial distress as a result of falling commodity prices and may be forced to seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws, which may affect our ability to recover any amounts due from such customers. Furthermore, countries that rely heavily upon income from hydrocarbon exports have been and may in the future be negatively and significantly affected by a drop in oil or gas prices, which could affect our ability to collect, timely or at all, from our customers in these countries, particularly national oil companies. Laws in some jurisdictions in which we will operate could make collection difficult or time consuming. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not expect to require collateral in support of our trade receivables. While we maintain reserves for potential credit losses, we cannot assure such reserves will be sufficient to meet write-offs of uncollectible receivables or that our losses from such receivables will be consistent with our expectations. Additionally, in the event of a bankruptcy of any of our customers, we may be treated as an unsecured creditor and may collect substantially less, or none, of the amounts owed to us by such customer.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 21

Our customers' activity levels and spending for our products and services and ability to pay amounts owed us could be impacted by the reduction of their cash flow, financial condition and the ability of our customers to access equity or credit markets.

Our customers' access to capital is dependent on their ability to access the funds necessary to develop economically attractive projects based upon their expectations of future energy prices, required investments, and/or resulting returns. Limited access to external sources of funding has caused and may continue to cause customers to reduce their capital spending plans to levels supported by internally generated cash flow. In addition, a reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities or the lack of available debt or equity financing may impact the ability of our customers to pay amounts owed to us and could cause us to increase our reserve for credit losses or resulting in us collecting substantially less, or none, of the amounts owed to us by such customer.

Gross receivables related to our primary customer in Mexico were 4%, 7%, and 9% for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the potential risk of credit loss related to collection of accounts receivable with this customer, we have and may in the future, issue credit default swaps ("CDS") to third-party institutions related to borrowings to this customer who utilizes these funds to repay certain of our receivables. In the event of default by our customer to the financial institution, we would be required to pay the notional amount outstanding under the CDS, which may adversely impact our results of operations, short-term liquidity position, and cash flows.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS

Compliance with and changes in laws could be costly and could affect operating results. In addition, government disruptions could negatively impact our ability to conduct our business.

We conduct business in more than 120 countries that can be impacted by expected and unexpected changes in the legal and business environments in which we operate. In particular, goods, services, data, finances, people, and technology that cross international borders subject us to extensive trade laws and regulations. Our import activities are governed by the unique customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. Pursuant to their laws and regulations, governments may impose economic sanctions against certain countries, persons and entities that may restrict or prohibit transactions involving such countries, persons and entities, which may limit or prevent our conduct of business in certain jurisdictions.

Compliance-related issues could limit our ability to do business in certain countries, impact our earnings and cash flows, bring reputational harm, or result in governmental investigations leading to fines, penalties or other remedial measures. Changes that could impact the legal environment include new legislation, new regulations, new policies, investigations, and legal proceedings as well as new interpretations of existing legal rules and regulations: in particular, changes in export control laws or exchange control laws, currency conversion, repatriation of income or capital, additional restrictions on doing business in countries subject to sanctions, and changes in laws in countries where we operate. In addition, changes and uncertainty in the political environments in which our businesses operate, including changes in administration, can have a material effect on the laws, rules, and regulations that affect our operations and liquidity. Government disruptions may also delay or halt the granting and renewal of permits, licenses and other items required by us and our customers to conduct our business. The continued success of our global business and operations depends, in part, on our ability to continue to anticipate and effectively manage these and other political, legal and regulatory risks. Given the highly dynamic nature of these restrictions and the unprecedented nature of these changes in recent years, and the uncertainty in the political landscape and unrest in certain areas of the world, our future success depends on the ability of our organization to react to such changes rapidly and appropriately to assure compliance as we continue to conduct business globally.

Our failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and other similar laws could have a negative impact on our ongoing operations.

Our ability to comply with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, and various other anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws depends on the success of our ongoing compliance program, including our ability to successfully select, diligence, oversee, and manage our agents, distributors, joint venture partners, suppliers, and other third-party business partners, and supervise, train, and retain competent employees. These laws in many cases impose liability not only for the actions of our employees, but also for the improper conduct of third parties acting on our behalf. As a result, any failure by us, or by any of our employees or business partners, to comply with applicable anti-bribery and anti-

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 22

corruption requirements could expose us to sanctions and civil and criminal prosecution, fines and penalties, as well as legal expenses and reputational harm that could negatively impact our relationships with customers, regulators, and other stakeholders.

Anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws could have adverse consequences for us.

Non-compliance with anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism financing and various other financial laws may subject us to sanctions, civil and criminal prosecution, fines and penalties, as well as legal expenses and potential reputational harm. While we strive to continuously improve our programs and pursue effective compliance, we cannot be sure our programs and controls are or will remain effective to ensure our compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws and regulations.

Changes to tax laws and associated positions (including tax rate and adverse positions taken by taxing authorities) and international trade policy (including the imposition of tariffs and other import and export regulations) in the countries where we operate could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We are subject to changes in tax laws, rates, treaties, and regulations in the various jurisdictions where we operate, any of which, including in the interpretation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on our tax expense, results of operations and cash flows. Further, the examinations and subsequent tax assessments by various tax authorities could increase our tax liabilities. Any changes to tax laws or rates or unfavorable positions taken by tax authorities have and could preclude our ability to fully utilize tax loss carryforwards and tax credits which could increase the amount of valuation allowances required against deferred tax assets and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted, introducing broad changes to the U.S. tax code, including modifications to federal income tax provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others taking effect in later years. The aggregate impact of the OBBBA remains uncertain. We will continue to monitor future developments, including regulatory guidance and interpretations, which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we are subject to changes to the U.S. and foreign country tariffs, international trade agreements and policies. This includes proposed and enacted tariffs by the U.S. and foreign governments. Expansion of trade restrictions, changes to government policies related to tariffs or trade agreements could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent changes in U.S. administrative policy, including increases in tariffs and any changes in international trade relations or trade agreements, may have an adverse effect on our business.

There is continued uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and various other countries with respect to tariffs, trade policies, government regulations, treaties and trade agreements. Recent changes in U.S. administrative policy have led to significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., particularly tariffs on products manufactured in Europe, Mexico and China. These tariffs, and additional proposed tariffs or other restrictive changes, have resulted, and may further result, in retaliatory trade measures in response to such actions and ongoing uncertainty regarding existing trade agreements and greater restrictions on free trade generally, among other possible changes. Further governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements, a trade war, changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently manufacture and sell products, and any resulting negative sentiments towards the U.S. as a result of such changes, would likely have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. To the extent that we incur incremental tariffs, we may need to recover such tariffs from our customers, and there is no guarantee such recoveries will occur.

We could be subject to litigation and environmental claims arising out of our products and services which could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The technical complexities of our operations expose us to a wide range of significant health, safety and environmental risks and we are from time to time subject to litigation in the U.S. and in foreign countries, for

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 23

example claims involving services or equipment such as personal injury or loss of life, product failure (including as a result of a cyber-attack) or damage to or destruction of property, employment and labor, customer privacy, or regulatory risks. While we have insurance coverage against operating hazards to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, our insurance may not cover all expenses related to litigation claims arising from our business. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain insurance at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate. We may therefore incur significant expenses defending any such suit or government charge and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise violated its intellectual property rights.

The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components we use to provide our products and services may infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others or be challenged on that basis. Regardless of the merits, any such claims may result in significant legal and other costs and may distract management from running our core business. If such claims were decided against us, then we could be required to pay damages or develop or adopt non-infringing products or services. Resolving such claims with settlement could also increase our costs, including through royalty payments to acquire licenses, if available, from third parties and through the development of replacement technologies. If a license to resolve a claim were not available, we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such claims could harm our image, trademarks and brands, competitive position, or our ability to expand our operations into other jurisdictions. There could be attendant negative publicity, even if ultimately decided in our favor. In addition, third parties may assert that the intellectual property or our rights therein are invalid or unenforceable. If applicable intellectual property rights were invalidated or deemed unenforceable, then the third-party could permit competing uses of such intellectual property rights which, in turn, could lead to a decline in revenues and sales.

Compliance with, and rulings and litigation in connection with, environmental regulations and the environmental impacts of our operations may adversely affect our business and operating results.

We and our business are subject to extensive domestic and international environmental, health and safety regulations. In addition to environmental, health and safety regulatory compliance obligations, we may face liability arising out of the normal course of business, including alleged personal injury, property damage, and human health risks due to exposure to hazardous substances or operations at our current or former facilities. Additionally, we may be impacted by material changes in environmental, health and safety regulations or subject to substantial liability for environmental impacts caused by our (or our predecessors') operations. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations and associated expenditures, including but not limited to our capital expenditures for environmental control equipment, are forecasted and may be inconsistent based on multiple variables. Our compliance cost forecasts may be substantially different from actual results, which may be affected by factors such as: changes in law that impose new or increased restrictions on air or other emissions, wastewater management, waste disposal, or wetland and land use practices; changes in standards of enforcement of existing environmental laws and regulations; a change in our share of any remediation costs or other unexpected, adverse outcomes with respect to sites where we have been named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP"), or otherwise alleged to be responsible for environmental issues (including Superfund sites, the allocation of PRP liability at sites, or discovery of additional issues at existing sites), where additional expenditures may be required to comply with environmental legal obligations; and the accidental, unauthorized discharge of hazardous materials.

International, national, and state governments and agencies continue to evaluate and promulgate legislation and regulations that are focused on GHG emissions and climate related risk. Compliance with GHG emission regulations applicable to our or our customers' operations could adversely affect our business and operating results.

In the United States, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has taken steps to regulate GHG emissions as air pollutants under the U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended. The EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule requires monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from, among others, certain mobile and stationary GHG emission sources in the oil and natural gas industry. In 2024, the EPA released a final rule expanding the scope of the reporting rule; however, the current administration has taken steps to reconsider these rules. In March 2025, the EPA released a final rule to extend 2025 reporting deadlines and in September 2025,

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 24

proposed a rulemaking to remove and/or suspend program obligations applicable to various industry sectors. Newly enacted GHG emissions disclosure requirements and subsequent reconsiderations have been and likely will continue to be subject to ongoing legal challenges in the U.S. which may delay the implementation or enforcement of such rules. Although a reduction in GHG reporting obligations in the U.S. may be possible at the federal level in the short-term, with changing administrations and increased regulation by certain states, including California and New York, long-term regulatory trends suggest that regulation of GHG emissions in the United States is likely to increase over time. Further, regulatory requirements for sustainability reporting, including GHG emissions, are expanding internationally, including in the European Union and Australia.

International developments focused on restricting or otherwise disincentivizing GHG emissions include the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which includes implementation of the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol by the signatories; the Glasgow Climate Pact; the EU and UK Emissions Trading Systems; the EU Methane Regulation; Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive and the UK's Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting framework; and the EU and the UK's carbon border adjustment mechanisms. Caps or fees on carbon emissions have been and may continue to be established and the cost of such caps or fees could disproportionately affect the fossil-fuel sectors. The implementation of these agreements and other existing or future regulatory mandates, may adversely affect the demand for our products and services, require us or our customers to reduce GHG emissions or impose taxes on us or our customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Regulatory disclosure requirements related to sustainability matters and future legislation and regulatory programs to address climate change or reduce emissions of GHGs may continue to increase our cost and burden of compliance or may subject us to potential legal and reputational risk, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we continue our efforts to research, establish, accomplish and accurately report on the implementation of our emissions strategy, including our emissions reduction commitments, which may create additional operational risks and expenses and expose us to reputational, legal and other risks. While we create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding emissions matters from time to time, some of the statements in those voluntary disclosures may be based on hypothetical expectations and assumptions that may or may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved and the lack of an established single approach to identifying, measuring and reporting on many emissions matters.

Changes in laws or regulations relating to data privacy and security, or any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws or regulations, or contractual or other obligations relating to data privacy or security, may adversely affect our business and operating results.

We have access to sensitive, confidential, proprietary or personal data or information in certain of our businesses that is or may become subject to various data privacy and security laws, regulations, standards, contractual obligations or customer-imposed controls in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The legal and regulatory environment related to data privacy and security is increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to our business, and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. These laws and regulations are and may be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that may adversely affect our business and operating results.

In the U.S., various federal and state regulators, including governmental agencies like the Federal Trade Commission, have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws, regulations and standards concerning personal information, privacy and data security. Certain state laws may be more stringent or broader in scope, or offer greater individual rights, with respect to personal information than federal, international or other state laws, and such laws may differ from each other, all of which may complicate compliance efforts. Internationally, laws, regulations and standards in many jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, retention, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal information or other data. For example, the collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer, or other processing of personal data regarding individuals located in the European Economic Area and the U.K. is subject to strict regulations, and compliance may require adhering to stringent legal and operational obligations and the dedication of substantial time and financial resources.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 25

The various and evolving federal, state and international laws, regulations and standards can differ significantly from one another and, given our global footprint, this may significantly complicate our compliance efforts and impose considerable costs, such as costs related to organizational changes and implementing additional protection technologies, which are likely to increase over time. In addition, compliance with applicable requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, distract management or divert resources from other initiatives and projects, all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any applicable federal, state or international laws, regulations, standards, or contractual or other obligations, relating to data privacy and security could result in damage to our reputation and our relationship with our customers, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies, customers or individuals, which could subject us to significant fines, sanctions, awards, penalties or judgments, all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

TECHNOLOGY RISKS

An inability to obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business.

There can be no assurance that the steps we take to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce our IP rights will be complete or adequate. Our applications for IP rights may not be granted entirely, as to key features, or at all. Our IP rights may fail to provide us with significant competitive advantages, particularly in jurisdictions where we have not invested in an intellectual property portfolio or that do not have, or do not enforce, strong IP rights. The weakening of protection for our trademarks, patents, trade secrets, copyrights and other IP rights could also adversely affect our business.

We are a party to a number of licenses that give us access to IP rights that is necessary or useful to our business. Our success depends in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and sufficiently enforce the licensed IP rights we commercialize. Without protection for the IP rights we own or license, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical products for sale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business products. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or renew from third parties any licenses to use IP rights we need in the future, and there is no assurance that such licenses can be obtained on reasonable terms. We would be adversely affected in the event that any such license agreement was terminated without the right for us to continue using the licensed IP rights.

Increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats, and more sophisticated and targeted cyber-attacks and other security incidents, pose risks to our systems, data and business, and our relationships with customers and other third parties.

In the course of conducting our business, we may hold or have access to sensitive, confidential, proprietary or personal data or information belonging to us, our employees or third parties, including customers, collaborators or suppliers. Increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats, and more sophisticated and targeted cyber-attacks and other security incidents, pose risks to our and our customers', collaborators', suppliers' and third-party service providers' systems, data, and business, and the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data, as well as the data of our employees, customers, suppliers, and other third-party business partners. We utilize various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate our exposure including maintaining a dedicated Cyber Fusion Center ("CFC") and engaging third-party experts. For more information see the "Risk Management & Strategy" section of Part 1 of Item 1C herein. While we attempt to mitigate these risks, we remain vulnerable to cyber-attacks and other security incidents, including ransomware incidents. Given our global footprint, the large number of customers, partners, suppliers and service providers with which we do business, and the increasing sophistication and complexity of cyber-attacks, including, without limitation, due to the application of generative AI, an incident could occur and persist for an extended period without detection. Any investigation of a cyber-attack or other security incident would be inherently unpredictable, and it would take time before the completion of any investigation and the availability of full and reliable information. During such time we would not necessarily know the extent of the harm or how best to remediate it, and certain errors or actions could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated, all or any of which would further increase the costs and consequences of such an incident. We may be required to expend significant resources to protect against, respond to, and recover from any cyber-attacks and other security incidents. As cyber-attacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. In addition, our remediation efforts may not be successful, or the impacts may be

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 26

irreversible. The inability to implement, maintain and upgrade adequate safeguards could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition to our own systems, we use third-party service providers, who in turn may also use third-party providers, to process certain data or information on our behalf. Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for cybersecurity incidents attributed to our service providers or other third parties to the extent affecting information we share with them. Although we contractually require these third parties to implement and maintain reasonable security measures, we cannot control third parties and cannot guarantee that a security breach will not occur in their systems.

Our digital technologies and services, as well as third-party products, services and technologies on which we rely (including emerging technologies, such as AI programs), are subject to the risk of cyberattacks. Despite our and our service providers' efforts to protect our data and information, there can be no assurance that the systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cyber incidents or attacks will be sufficient to prevent or detect material consequences arising from such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material adverse impact on our systems after such incidents or attacks occur. In the normal conduct of our business, we, our customers, and our service providers have been and may in the future be vulnerable to security breaches, ransomware attacks, theft, misplaced or lost data, programming errors, phishing attacks, denial of service attacks, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, malware, employee errors and/or malfeasance or similar events, including those perpetrated by criminals or nation-state actors, that could potentially lead to the compromise, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or destruction of data or information, improper use of our systems, defective products, loss of access to our data, production downtimes and operational disruptions; and, given the nature of such attacks, some incidents may remain undetected for a period of time despite efforts to detect and respond to them in a timely manner. In addition, a cyber-attack or any other significant compromise or breach of our data security, media reports about such an incident, whether accurate or not, or, under certain circumstances, our failure to make adequate or timely disclosures to the public, governmental entities, law enforcement agencies or affected individuals following any such event, whether due to delayed discovery or a failure to follow existing protocols, could adversely impact our operating results and result in other negative consequences, including damage to our reputation or competitiveness, harm to our relationships with customers, collaborators, suppliers and other third parties, distraction to our management, remediation or increased protection costs, significant litigation or regulatory action, fines and penalties. Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in both frequency and magnitude as threat actors become increasingly sophisticated in techniques and tools (including AI) that circumvent controls, evade detection and even remove forensic evidence of the infiltration. Given the increased prevalence of customer-imposed connectivity, cybersecurity controls and other related contractual obligations towards customers or other third parties, there are an increased number of attack vectors and a cyber-attack or other security incident also could result in breach of contract or indemnity claims against us by customers or other counterparties.

While we currently maintain cybersecurity insurance, such insurance may not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to cybersecurity breaches or attacks, failures or other data security-related incidents, and we cannot be certain that cyber insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that an insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may use AI, machine learning, data science and similar technologies in our business, products and services, and challenges with properly managing such technologies could result in reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

AI, machine learning, data science and similar technologies, including third-party AI tools, may be enabled by, or integrated into, some of our business processes and solutions. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed or biased. Datasets used to train or develop AI systems may be insufficient, of inferior quality, or contain biased, incorrect or incomplete information. The utilization of AI may increase our risk and liability exposure relating to confidentiality, intellectual property infringement, and client use restrictions. Our AI governance review process and safeguards may not be adequate to protect against these risks and challenges.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 27

Additionally, the laws and regulations concerning the use of AI continue to evolve. If the use or integration of AI systems, or the outputs generated by such systems, were determined to be non-compliant (e.g., in relation to AI statutory regimes, data privacy rights or in relation to the use of AI for certain activities or use cases), this may expose us to regulatory action or litigation. It is possible that emerging regulations or changes to intellectual property laws may limit or block the use of AI in our business or otherwise impose restrictions that may adversely affect the efficiency of our business processes or solutions that were utilizing AI technologies.

Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their product and service offerings more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET RISKS

Volatility of oil and natural gas prices can adversely affect demand for our products and services.

Prices of oil and gas products are set on a commodity basis. As a result, the volatility in oil and natural gas prices can impact our customers' activity levels and spending for our products and services. Current energy prices are important contributors to cash flow for our customers and their ability to fund exploration and development activities. Expectations about future prices and price volatility are important for determining future spending levels.

Demand for our products and services is subject to factors beyond our control and depends substantially on expenditures by our customers. Changes in the global economy could impact our customers' spending levels and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Demand for our services and products is highly correlated with global economic growth and substantially dependent on the levels of expenditures by our customers. Across our products and services, customer demand may be reduced due to global economic factors beyond our control, including but not limited to inflation, high interest rates, fluctuations in FX rates, and declining availability of credit. Specifically, for example, past oil and natural gas industry downturns have resulted in reduced demand for oilfield products and services and lower expenditures by our customers, which in the past has resulted, and may in the future result, in a prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices that may require us to record asset impairments, and we could experience decreased revenue, decreased profitability and reduction in cash flows. Such potential impairment charges and adverse operating metrics could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Supply of oil and natural gas is subject to factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect our operating results.

Productive capacity for oil and natural gas is dependent on our customers' decisions to develop and produce oil and natural gas reserves and on the regulatory environment in which our customers and we operate. The ability to produce oil and natural gas can be affected by the number and productivity of new wells drilled and completed, as well as the rate of production and resulting depletion of existing wells.

Currency fluctuations or devaluations may impact our operating results.

Fluctuations or devaluations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can impact our revenue and our costs of doing business and create volatility, as well as the costs of doing business of our customers.

Changes in economic and/or market conditions may impact our ability to borrow and/or cost of borrowing.

The condition of the capital markets and equity markets in general may affect the price of our common stock and our ability to obtain financing, if necessary. Although the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System cut interest rates in each of September, October and December 2025, further cuts are uncertain. Actions by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to raise interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs or make the cost of borrowing funds commercially unattractive. Furthermore, if our credit rating is downgraded, it could increase borrowing costs under credit facilities and issuances of commercial paper, as well as increase the cost of renewing or obtaining, or make it more difficult to renew, obtain, or issue new debt financing.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR STOCK

The market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial losses for our shareholders.

The market price of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume in our Class A common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our Class A common stock declines significantly, our shareholders may be unable to sell their shares of our Class A common stock at or above their purchase price, if at all. We cannot assure our shareholders that the market price of our Class A common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect the price of our Class A common stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Class A common stock include: variations in our quarterly operating results; failure to meet our earnings estimates; publication of research reports about us or our industry; additions or departures of our executive officers and other key management personnel; adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future; actions by shareholders; changes in market valuations of similar companies; speculation in the press or investment community; changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations thereof affecting our business or enforcement of these laws and regulations, or announcements relating to these matters; adverse publicity about our industry generally or individual scandals, specifically; and general market and economic conditions.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law might discourage or delay acquisition attempts for us that might be considered favorable.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a shareholder may consider favorable by permitting the Board to issue one or more series of preferred stock, requiring advance notice for shareholder proposals and nominations, and placing limitations on convening shareholder meetings. These provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals, delay, or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price.

Our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

Pursuant to our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provision. The forum selection clause in our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation may limit our shareholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

This exclusive forum provision applies to certain state law claims and will not apply to claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act. In addition, our shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

RISK MANAGEMENT & STRATEGY

Overall Process

We protect our digital systems and data through a comprehensive cybersecurity management program, which includes a dedicated cybersecurity function, risk assessments, policies and procedures, and technical measures and related services from third party service providers. We have a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") with overall responsibility for the cybersecurity program, including threat detection and response, vulnerability management, governance, risk and compliance, security strategy and architecture, security engineering and operations, product and operational technology security. As part of our cybersecurity management program, we operate a CFC to monitor both internal and external cybersecurity threats, conduct initial assessment of severity, coordinate incident response resources, reduce incident response time, and shift toward a proactive cyber-defense model, which includes a dedicated threat intelligence program that leverages custom intelligence platforms as well as industry specific professional associations and ongoing threat hunting. Through our cybersecurity risk management program, we monitor cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors and evaluate the potential operational and financial effects of any threat and countermeasures made to defend against such threats.

We have established policies and procedures, including our Incident Response Plan ("IRP"), for assessing, identifying, managing, and responding to events that may jeopardize the company digital information or systems, including protocols for assessing potential material impact from cybersecurity threats and incidents, escalating to executive leadership and the Board, engaging external stakeholders, and reporting incidents based on applicable legal requirements. Our IRP provides guidance in the event of a cybersecurity incident, including processes with assigned roles and responsibilities to triage, assess severity, escalate, contain, investigate, and remediate incidents, as well as to comply with applicable legal obligations and mitigate brand and reputational damage. We conduct regular tabletop exercises to test established policies and procedures for responding to cybersecurity threats and incidents. In addition, employees and stakeholders can report cybersecurity threats, cybersecurity and data privacy incidents, or other concerns through external and internal reporting channels.

Enterprise Risk Management Process Integration

Cybersecurity risk management processes are an integral part of our enterprise risk management, which is overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board. Our processes include periodic program maturity assessments, ongoing information technology risk assessments, and third-party security risks assessments.

Our cybersecurity risk management efforts have also been integrated into the overall Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") process, which includes assessment of cybersecurity risks that could result in significant operational disruption to the Company, such as production disruption, business downtime, loss of containment or other operation interruptions, as well as risks that could have significant reputational and compliance/regulatory impact. Cybersecurity risks identified and tracked through our ERM risk register have assigned risk owners at the executive leadership level and risk delegates who are responsible to identify and manage risk mitigation actions. Key risk indicators are updated quarterly by risk delegates and communicated to our executive leadership and the Audit Committee.

We leverage recognized cybersecurity frameworks to drive strategic direction and maturity improvement and engage third party security experts for risk assessments, risk mitigation actions, and program enhancements. We also include cybersecurity training as part of our required annual employee training program. In addition, cybersecurity and privacy training and awareness is integrated and continues throughout the year, utilizing various delivery methods such as mock phishing campaigns, training sessions, and informational articles.

Third-Party Security Experts

We engage third-party security experts to supplement our internal CFC team as well as for assessments, penetration tests and program enhancements, including vulnerability assessments, security framework maturity assessments and identification of areas for continued focus and improvement. In addition, our third-party experts work with us to conduct tabletop exercises and internal phishing awareness campaigns. We use the findings of

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 30

these exercises to improve our practices, procedures, and technologies. We also engage third-party security experts to support our cybersecurity threat and incident response management and maintain information security risk insurance coverage.

Identification of Threats Associated with Third Parties

Baker Hughes utilizes a third-party risk management ("TPRM") program to identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate risks associated with suppliers and vendors, including cybersecurity risks. We conduct initial risk assessments of third-party suppliers and service providers based on various factors to classify each into a risk category. Our TPRM program is designed to apply our most rigorous processes to those suppliers and service providers that are classified into the highest risk category. These processes include due diligence assessments of third-party suppliers and service providers that have access to Baker Hughes networks, digital confidential information, and information systems in order to assess the risks from cybersecurity threats that could impact our suppliers and third-party service providers. We leverage external partners to assist with the regular assessment of our top-priority suppliers and third-party service providers to identify, review and address risks, including deeper reviews of their cybersecurity controls. We track the identified deficiencies and include with other cybersecurity metrics based on their severity. We also require that our suppliers and third-party service providers have in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures and security-control principles based on recognized cybersecurity standards.

Incidents & Risks

To our knowledge, we have not experienced a material cybersecurity incident and although we are subject to ongoing and evolving cybersecurity threats, we are not aware of any material risks from cybersecurity threats that have affected the Company. For more information on our cybersecurity risks, see "Technology Risks" identified in the "Risk Factors" section of Part 1 of Item 1A herein.

GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Oversight responsibilities for our cybersecurity and digital security programs and risks lie with the Audit Committee of the Board. The Board is actively engaged in the oversight of our cybersecurity and digital security programs and oversees all operational, financial, strategic, and reputational risks with oversight of specific risks undertaken with the committee structure including risks related to cybersecurity, data security, and technology.

The Audit Committee receives reports on our cybersecurity program and developments from our CISO at each of our regular meetings, which occur at least four times per year. These reports typically include analyses of recent cybersecurity threats and incidents at the Company and across the industry, as well as a review of our own security controls, assessments and program maturity, and risk mitigation status, as well as a review of our third-party service providers. Our digital technology, legal, and the corporate audit functions also routinely present to the Audit Committee on key cybersecurity topics and, on at least an annual basis, the Board receives reports on our cybersecurity program and developments from the CISO.

Management

Our programs are focused on building digital trust through sound oversight of cybersecurity and data privacy protections and the responsible use of data and technology. We operate a CFC, and we have a cross-functional approach to addressing cybersecurity-related risks through the functional compliance structures in our digital technology and legal organizations with oversight from the corporate audit and controllership functions. The cybersecurity and legal functions employ full-time resources in cybersecurity and privacy roles with expertise in managing cybersecurity and privacy compliance and risks and responding to incidents.

Our senior executive leadership is actively engaged in the oversight and strategic direction of our cybersecurity and digital data protection programs. The senior executive leadership-level Cybersecurity Steering Committee ("CSC") is responsible for assessing cybersecurity risks, providing direction and oversight for risk mitigation action, and assisting the Audit Committee in overseeing the Company’s cybersecurity risks. The CSC also receives monthly reports on the Company's cybersecurity program and developments from our CISO and legal representatives. The

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 31

CSC is chaired by our CISO. The senior executive leadership members include the Chief Information & Infrastructure Officer; Chief Legal Officer; Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary; and Chief Infrastructure & Performance Officer.

The CISO has over 25 years of business experience in information technology and cybersecurity and is a long-standing certified information systems security professional ("CISSP") with the International Information System Security Certification Consortium.

We have an Incident Response Team ("IRT") that consists primarily of representatives from the CFC, legal, corporate communications, finance, and other relevant stakeholders. The IRT follows the guidance as outlined in the IRP to respond to cybersecurity incidents and escalate as necessary to the CSC based on a defined severity matrix. Internal legal and finance stakeholders are responsible for assessing materiality of risks in consultation with the IRT, CSC, the CEO, and external advisors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contained herein.

We are an energy technology company with a broad and diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. We operate through our two business segments: OFSE and IET. We sell products and services primarily in the global oil and gas and broader energy and industrial markets.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Market Conditions

During 2025, we saw a decline in global upstream capital spending as a result of 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+").

As we look to 2026, during which we anticipate modestly stronger year-over-year GDP growth, oil prices are likely to reflect evolving market conditions, as markets assess geopolitical uncertainty and its potential impact on supply against rising OPEC+ and offshore production. Taking these macro factors into consideration, we forecast modest declines in global upstream spending. We believe further reduction in idled OPEC+ production, alongside more constructive oil supply-and-demand balances, is required before a broad inflection in oilfield services activity emerges. Longer term, the outlook remains constructive, particularly internationally and offshore, where significant investment will be required to sustain production growth and meet rising global oil demand. We also see continued growth in OpEx-driven upstream investment, as operators focus on enhancing recovery rates and extending the life of existing assets.

Following approximately 7% growth in LNG demand in 2025, we remain optimistic on the global natural gas outlook, supported by increasing demand for LNG and a continued shift towards natural gas developments. We believe the positive fundamentals are less affected by macro uncertainty but are driven by continued long-term energy demand growth, which is being driven by population growth, higher living standards, and accelerating electrification, with AI and data center expansion adding a new structural layer of power demand. Increasingly, natural gas is the source of this power due to its reliable, scalable, and dispatchable nature, coupled with its ability to lower emissions throughout the energy ecosystem.

Financial Results and Key Company Initiatives

In 2025, the Company generated revenues of $27.7 billion, a decrease of $0.1 billion compared to 2024. IET revenue increased $1.2 billion, or 10%, driven by strong growth in Gas Technology Equipment ("GTE") and Gas Technology Services ("GTS"). OFSE revenue decreased $1.3 billion, or 8%, driven by a decline in revenue in all regions. Net income was $2.6 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion, or 13%, compared to 2024, with a decline in the mark-to-market adjustment for certain equity securities, change in mix, transaction related costs and lower volume, partially offset by cost out initiatives, net productivity and price.

As a part of our anticipated acquisition of Chart, Chart shareholders approved the acquisition of Chart by the Company (the "Chart acquisition") on October 6, 2025. With regulatory reviews still underway in certain jurisdictions, we presently expect closing in the second quarter of 2026, understanding that the timing may evolve as those processes progress. 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 closed on January 1, 2026.

In the first quarter of 2025, we increased our quarterly dividend by two cents to $0.23 per share. For the full year of 2025, we returned a total of $1.3 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.

Outlook

Our business is exposed to a number of macro factors, which influence our outlook and expectations given the current macroeconomic uncertainty and continued volatile conditions in the industry. All of our outlook expectations are purely based on the market as we see it today and are subject to changing conditions in the industry.

•OFSE outlook: We expect continued soft market conditions through most of 2026, reflecting customer caution amid oil price uncertainty, with the potential for modest improvement later in the year as excess oil supply begins to moderate.

•IET outlook: We see sustained strength in LNG and gas infrastructure, as well as increasing opportunities to leverage our versatile portfolio to enhance IET's position across industrial and distributed power markets, with a growing emphasis on data centers.

We also expect to see continued growth in new energy solutions specifically focused on reducing carbon emissions for the energy and broader industrial sectors. These include hydrogen; geothermal; CCUS; energy storage; clean power; and emissions abatement solutions. Continued signs of tightness in the aeroderivative supply chain, including extended lead times, will remain a factor to monitor and manage operationally.

Overall, we believe our portfolio is uniquely positioned to compete across the energy and industrial value chains and deliver integrated, high-impact solutions for our customers. Over time, we believe global energy demand will continue to rise, supported by durable, secular macroeconomic trends, with hydrocarbons continuing to play a fundamental role in meeting the world's energy needs. As such, we remain focused on delivering innovative, lower-emission, and cost-effective solutions that drive meaningful improvements in operational and financial performance for our customers.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity position as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Our revenue is predominantly 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.

Oil and Natural Gas Prices

Outside North America, customer spending is influenced by Brent oil prices. In North America, customer spending is influenced by WTI oil prices and natural gas prices as measured by the Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price.

Oil and natural gas prices are summarized in the table below as averages of the daily closing prices during each of the periods indicated.


	2025		2024		2023
Brent oil prices ($/Bbl) (1)	$	69.14	$	80.52	$	82.49
WTI oil prices ($/Bbl) (2)	65.39		76.63		77.58
Natural gas prices ($/mmBtu) (3)	3.52		2.19		2.53

Rig Count

Rig counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. When drilling rigs are active or operating, 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.

Rig counts are compiled weekly for the U.S. and Canada and monthly for all international rigs. Published international rig counts do not include rigs drilling in certain locations, such as onshore China, because this information is not readily available.

The rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated based on our published rig counts on our website at www.bakerhughes.com.


	2025	2024	2023
North America	738	787	866

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussions below relating to significant line items from our consolidated statements of income are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items. In addition, the discussions below for revenue and cost of revenue are on a total basis as the business drivers for product sales and services are similar. All dollar amounts in tabulations in this section are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

Our consolidated statements of income display sales and costs of sales in accordance with SEC regulations under which "goods" is required to include all sales of tangible products and "services" must include all other sales, including other service activities. For the amounts shown below, we distinguish between "equipment" and "product services," where product services refer to sales under product services agreements, including sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance, and repairs), which is an important part of our operations. We refer to "product services" simply as "services" within MD&A.

Our results of operations are evaluated by our chief operating decision maker, who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, on a consolidated basis as well as at the segment level. The performance of each segment is evaluated based on segment EBITDA, which is defined as income (loss) before income taxes and before the following: net interest expense, costs associated with significant restructuring programs, depreciation and amortization, and unallocated corporate costs and other income (expense).

In evaluating the performance, we primarily use the following:

Volume: Volume is defined as the increase or decrease in products and/or services sold period-over-period excluding the impact of FX and price. The volume impact on profit is calculated by multiplying the prior period profit rate by the change in revenue volume between the current and prior period.

Price: Price is defined as the change in sales price for a comparable product or service period-over-period and is calculated as the period-over-period change in sales prices of comparable products and services.

Business Mix: Business mix is defined as period-over-period change in sales mix within segments.

Cost out initiatives: Cost out initiatives, including restructuring programs.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 37

FX: FX measures the translational foreign exchange impact, or the translation impact of the period-over-period change on sales and costs directly attributable to change in the FX rate compared to the U.S. dollar. FX impact is calculated by multiplying the functional currency amounts (revenue or profit) with the period-over-period FX rate variance, using the average exchange rate for the respective period. 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.

(Inflation)/Deflation: (Inflation)/deflation is defined as the increase or decrease in direct and indirect costs of the same type for an equal amount of volume. It is calculated as the year-over-year change in cost (i.e. price paid) of direct material, compensation and benefits, and overhead costs.

Productivity: Productivity is measured by the remaining variance in profit, after adjusting for the period-over-period impact of volume, price, business mix, FX, and (inflation)/deflation as defined above. Improved or lower period-over-period cost productivity is the result of production, schedule and cost efficiencies or inefficiencies.

(2)For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, total new energy orders incorporates Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS") in IET.

The RPO relate to the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. As of December 31, 2025, RPO totaled $35.9 billion, of which OFSE totaled $3.5 billion and IET totaled $32.4 billion.

Fiscal Year 2025 to Fiscal Year 2024

Revenue decreased $0.1 billion to $27.7 billion. OFSE decreased $1.3 billion, or 8%, and IET increased $1.2 billion, or 10%.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $71 million, or 3%, to $2,387 million.

Research and development costs decreased $43 million, or 7%, to $600 million.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 38

Restructuring charges were $215 million in 2025, primarily related to employee termination expenses and footprint consolidation. In 2024, restructuring charges were $260 million, primarily related to streamlining of the OFSE operating model.

We recorded other expense of $243 million in 2025, which included $107 million of transaction costs related to business acquisition and disposal activities and a net loss of $103 million from the change in fair value of equity securities. In 2024, we recorded $341 million of other income. Included in this amount was a net gain of $367 million from the change in fair value of equity securities.

Net interest expense incurred in 2025 was $222 million, which includes interest income of $82 million. Net interest expense increased $25 million compared to 2024.

We recorded income taxes in 2025 and 2024 of $253 million and $257 million, respectively. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate is primarily the net impact of $308 million and $664 million reversal of valuation allowances in 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the rate in both years also reflecting income generated in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than in the U.S. and losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances. The valuation allowances on the associated deferred tax assets have been released as a result of the U.K. and the U.S. moving into and/or maintaining cumulative three-year profit positions, demonstrating an increasing pattern of profitability, along with recent tax credit utilization, and the forecasted continuation of profitability in both jurisdictions.

Net income decreased $0.4 billion, or 13%, to $2.6 billion compared to 2024.

OFSE revenue of $14,324 million decreased $1,304 million, or 8%, in 2025 compared to 2024, due to reduced oilfield activity as reflected in the reduced rig count. From a geographical perspective, international revenue was $10,551 million, a decrease of $1,121 million, or 10%, from 2024, down in all regions. North America revenue was $3,773 million in 2025, a decrease of $183 million, or 5%, from 2024.

OFSE segment EBITDA of $2,618 million decreased $263 million, or 9%, in 2025 compared to 2024. The reduction of EBITDA in 2025 was a result of lower volume, change in mix, and inflation, partially offset by cost out initiatives, and overall productivity.

IET revenue of $13,409 million increased $1,208 million, or 10%, in 2025 compared to 2024, driven by GTE and GTS.

IET segment EBITDA of $2,482 million increased $432 million, or 21%, in 2025 compared to 2024. The improved performance in 2025 was driven by higher volume, price, FX, cost out initiatives, partially offset by inflation, and change in mix.

Fiscal Year 2024 to Fiscal Year 2023

Revenue increased $2.3 billion, or 9%, to $27.8 billion. OFSE increased $0.3 billion, or 2%, and IET increased $2.1 billion, or 20%.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $153 million, or 6%, to $2,458 million driven primarily by a continued focus on cost optimization, partially offset by inflationary pressure.

Research and development costs decreased $8 million, or 1%, to $643 million.

Restructuring charges were $260 million in 2024, primarily related to streamlining of the OFSE operating model. In 2023, restructuring charges were $313 million reflecting costs to align the business with the Company's market outlook.

We recorded other income of $341 million and $544 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, which included a net gain of $367 million and $555 million, respectively, from the change in fair value of equity securities.

Net interest expense incurred in 2024 was $198 million, which includes interest income of $93 million. Net interest expense decreased $18 million compared to 2023, with higher interest income primarily driven by higher average cash on deposit.

We recorded income taxes in 2024 and 2023 of $257 million and $685 million, respectively. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate is primarily impacted by the $664 million reversal of a valuation allowance in 2024, with the rate in both years also reflecting income generated in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than in the U.S. and losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances. The

(1)The sale of our controls business was completed in April 2023.

IET revenue of $12,201 million increased $2,055 million, or 20%, in 2024 compared to 2023. The increase was primarily in GTE, and, to a lesser extent, in GTS.

IET segment EBITDA of $2,050 million increased $523, or 34%, in 2024 compared to 2023. The improved performance in 2024 was driven by higher volume primarily from higher proportionate growth in GTE, price, and cost-out initiatives, partially offset by inflationary pressure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources, and financial flexibility in order to fund the requirements of our business. We continue to maintain solid financial strength and sufficient liquidity. At December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.7 billion, compared to $3.4 billion at December 31, 2024.

In the U.S. we held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and outside the U.S. of approximately $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A substantial portion of the cash held outside the U.S. at December 31, 2025 has been reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations. If we decide at a later date to repatriate certain cash to the U.S., we may incur other additional taxes that would not be significant to the total tax provision.

We have a $3.0 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in November 2028. The Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, certain affirmative covenants and negative covenants, in each case we consider customary. No related events of default have occurred. The Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Baker Hughes. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions. See "Note 9. Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for further details. At December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. Our next debt maturity is December 2026.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 42

We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to the uncertainty created by geopolitical events, a global pandemic, or a significant decline in oil and gas prices, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be negatively impacted. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit ratings. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under our committed credit facility; however, a downgrade in our credit ratings could increase the cost of borrowings under the credit facility. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding, including borrowing under the credit facility.

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 approximately $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.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we dispersed cash to fund a variety of activities, including certain working capital needs, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, the payment of dividends, and repurchases of our common stock.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by (used in) each type of activity were as follows for the years ended December 31:


(In millions)	2025		2024		2023
Operating activities	$	3,810	$	3,332	$	3,062
Investing activities	(2,044)		(1,016)		(817)
Financing activities	(1,482)		(1,527)		(2,028)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $3,810 million, $3,332 million, and $3,062 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Our largest source of operating cash is payments from customers, of which the largest component is collecting cash related to our sales of products and services, including advance payments or progress collections for work to be performed. The primary use of operating cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities, and others for a wide range of goods and services.

Cash from operating activities is primarily generated from net income or loss, adjusted for certain noncash items (including depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of equity securities, stock-based compensation cost, deferred tax benefit or provision, and the impairment of certain assets).

In 2025, net working capital cash generation was $713 million, mainly due to strong collections of receivables and contract assets, partially offset by progress collections.

In 2024, net working capital cash generation was $7 million, mainly due to progress collections, mostly offset by an increase in receivables, inventory, and contract assets as the business continued to expand.

In 2023, net working capital cash generation was $42 million, mainly due to strong progress collections on equipment contracts, mostly offset by an increase in receivables and inventory due to expansion of the business.

Included in the cash flows from operating activities in 2025, 2024, and 2023 are payments of $182 million, $217 million, and $142 million, respectively, made primarily for employee severance as a result of our restructuring activities.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 43

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities were $2,044 million, $1,016 million, and $817 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures including property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") and software, to support and generate revenue from operations. Expenditures for capital assets were $1,273 million, $1,278 million, and $1,224 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, partially offset by cash flows from the disposal of PP&E of $195 million, $203 million, and $208 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Proceeds from the disposal of assets were primarily related to OFSE equipment that was lost-in-hole, and PP&E no longer used in operations that was sold throughout the period.

In 2025, we completed the acquisition of CDC in the IET segment in an all-cash transaction for approximately $543 million.

In 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire Chart. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid $258 million for the termination fee and the reimbursement of certain expenses on behalf of Chart to Flowserve Corporation ("Flowserve"), as a result of the termination of the merger agreement by and among Chart, Flowserve, and certain subsidiaries of Flowserve.

In 2023, we completed the acquisition of businesses for total cash consideration of $301 million, net of cash acquired, which consisted primarily of the acquisition of Altus Intervention in the OFSE segment. We also completed the sale of businesses and received total cash consideration of $293 million, which consisted primarily of the sale of our Nexus Controls business in the IET segment.

We had proceeds from the sale of certain equity securities of $1 million, $92 million, and $372 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars and remit cash from our Argentine operations. There is an indirect foreign exchange mechanism known as a Blue Chip Swap that enables companies to transfer U.S. dollars out of and into Argentina, effectively at a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. In 2024 and 2023, we entered into transactions in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations, resulting in a net loss and a net cash outflow of $7 million and $66 million, respectively, which is included in other investing activities.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities were $1,482 million, $1,527 million, and $2,028 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

We increased our quarterly dividend by two cents to $0.23 and one cent to $0.21 per share in 2025 and 2024, respectively. We paid dividends of $910 million, $836 million, and $786 million to our Class A stockholders in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

We repurchased and canceled 9.8 million, 15.2 million, and 16.3 million shares of Class A common stock for a total of $384 million, $484 million, and $538 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

In 2024, we repaid long-term debt of $143 million, primarily related to debentures that matured in the second quarter of 2024. In 2023, we repaid long-term debt of $651 million, primarily related to certain senior notes that matured in December of 2023.

Cash Requirements

We believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, the available revolving credit facility, access to our uncommitted lines of credit, the Bridge Facility, the DDTL, and availability under our existing shelf registrations of debt will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity in the short-term and long-term to manage our

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 44

working capital needs; meet contractual obligations; fund strategic growth initiatives, capital expenditures, and dividends; repay debt; repurchase our common stock; and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies.

Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels. Based on current market conditions, capital expenditures in 2026 will be made at a rate that we estimate would equal up to 5% of annual revenue. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily for normal, recurring items necessary to support our business.

Based on our current outlook, we anticipate making income tax payments in the range of $1.0 billion in 2026.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations consist primarily of obligations for long-term debt and related interest, leases for property and equipment, and purchase obligations as part of normal operations. Certain amounts included in our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025 are based on our estimates and assumptions about these obligations, including their duration, anticipated actions by third parties, and other factors.

See "Note 9. Debt" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for information regarding scheduled maturities of our long-term debt. See "Note 8. Leases" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for information regarding scheduled maturities of our operating leases.

As of December 31, 2025, we had expected cash payments for estimated interest on our long-term debt and finance lease obligations of $247 million payable within the next twelve months and $2,223 million payable thereafter.

As of December 31, 2025, we had purchase obligations of $1,840 million payable within the next twelve months and $540 million payable thereafter. Our purchase obligations include expenditures for capital assets for 2026 as well as agreements to purchase goods or services or licenses that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of potential future cash outflows associated with our uncertain tax positions, we are unable to make reasonable estimates of the period of cash settlement, if any, to the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $656 million in uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, have been excluded from the contractual obligations discussed above. See "Note 11. Income Taxes" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for further information.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

Registration Statement: In December 2023, Baker Hughes, together with Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("BHH LLC") and Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. filed a universal automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR with the SEC to have the ability to sell various types of securities including debt securities, Class A common stock, preferred stock, guarantees of debt securities, purchase contracts and units. The specific terms of any securities to be sold will be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. There were no sales of such securities during the year ended December 31, 2025. The registration statement will expire in December 2026.

Customer receivables: In line with industry practice, we may bill our customers for services provided in arrears dependent upon contractual terms. In a challenging economic environment, we may experience delays in the payment of our invoices due to customers' lower cash flow from operations or their more limited access to credit markets. While historically there have not been material non-payment events, we attempt to mitigate this risk by working with our customers to restructure their debts or utilizing available trade receivable facilities that enable us to manage collection risk. With regard to our primary customer in Mexico, there have not historically been any material losses due to uncollectable accounts receivable, nor are any such balances currently in dispute. During 2025 and 2024, the Company had CDS in the total of $775 million and $553 million, respectively, with third-party financial institutions. The CDS relate to borrowings provided by these financial institutions to our primary customer in Mexico

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 45

who utilized these borrowings to pay certain of the Company's outstanding receivables. The total notional amount remaining on the issued CDS was $287 million and $412 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which will reduce each month through September 2026 as the customer repays the borrowings. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of these derivative liabilities is not material.

A customer's failure or delay in payment could have a material adverse effect on our short-term liquidity and results of operations. As of December 31, 2025, 16% of our gross customer receivables were from customers in the U.S. and 10% were from customers in the United Arab Emirates. As of December 31, 2024, 16% of our gross customer receivables were from customers in the U.S. and 10% were from customers in Mexico. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our gross customer receivables at these dates.

International operations: Our cash that is held outside the U.S. is 82% of the total cash balance as of December 31, 2025. Depending on the jurisdiction or country where this cash is held, we may not be able to use this cash quickly and efficiently due to exchange or cash controls that could make it challenging. As a result, our cash balance may not represent our ability to quickly and efficiently use this cash.

Guarantor Financial Information

We guarantee various senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured debentures (collectively, the "Debt Securities") outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $5,808 million as of December 31, 2025, with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2047. The Debt Securities constitute debt obligations of BHH LLC, an indirect, 100% owned subsidiary and the primary operating company of Baker Hughes, and Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc, a 100% owned finance subsidiary of BHH LLC (together with BHH LLC, the "Issuers") that was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as a corporate co-obligor of debt securities. The Debt Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's other senior and unsecured debt obligations. However, because these obligations are not secured, they would be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured indebtedness of Baker Hughes and the Issuers.

Management has elected to include summarized financial information for the Issuers, notwithstanding that SEC Rule 13‑01 would otherwise permit its omission because the combined assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Issuers are not materially different from the corresponding amounts presented in Baker Hughes Company's consolidated financial statements. We believe the information will be useful in connection with future debt financing activities associated with the Chart acquisition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if the nature of the estimate or assumption it incorporates is subject to a material level of judgment related to matters that are highly uncertain and changes in those estimates and assumptions are reasonably likely to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. These estimates

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 46

reflect our best judgment about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions and their potential effects based on information available as of the date of these financial statements. If these conditions change from those expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described below could change, which may result in future impairments of goodwill, or the establishment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and increased tax liabilities, among other effects. Also, see "Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein, which discusses our most significant accounting policies.

The Audit Committee of the Board has reviewed our critical accounting estimates and the disclosure presented below. During the past three fiscal years, we have not made any material changes in the methodology used to establish the critical accounting estimates, and we believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. There are other items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation and judgment, but they are not deemed critical as defined above.

Revenue Recognition on Long-Term Product Services Agreements

We have long-term service agreements with our customers, primarily within our IET segment. These agreements typically require us to maintain assets sold to the customer over a defined contract term. These agreements have an average contract term of greater than 10 years. From time to time, these contract terms may be extended through contract modifications or amendments, which may result in revisions to future billing and cost estimates. Revenue recognition on long-term product services agreements requires estimates of both customer payments and the costs to perform required maintenance services over the contract term. We recognize revenue on an over time basis using input methods to measure our progress toward completion at the estimated margin rate of the contract.

To develop our billing estimates, we consider the number of billable events that will occur based on estimated utilization of the asset under contract over the life of the contract term. This estimated utilization will consider both historical and market conditions, asset retirements, and new product introductions, if applicable.

To develop our cost estimates, we consider the timing and extent of maintenance and overhaul events, including the amount and cost of labor, spare parts, and other resources required to perform the services. In developing our cost estimates, we utilize a combination of our historical cost experience and expected cost improvements. Cost improvements are only included in future cost estimates after savings have been observed in actual results or proven effective through an extensive regulatory or engineering approval process.

We routinely review the estimates used in our product services agreements and regularly revise them to adjust for changes. These revisions are based on objectively verifiable information that is available at the time of the review. We gain insight into expected future utilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through our knowledge of the equipment installed and the close interaction with our customers through supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.

Revisions to cost or billing estimates may affect a product services agreement's total estimated profitability resulting in an adjustment of earnings; such adjustments generated earnings of $18 million, $(11) million and $15 million for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We provide for potential losses on any of these agreements when it is probable that we will incur the loss. Cash billings collected on these contracts were approximately $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our contracts (on average) are approximately 13% complete based on costs incurred to date and our estimate of future costs.

Revenue Recognition on Sale of Customized Equipment

We recognize revenue on agreements for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications, including long-term construction projects, on an over time basis utilizing cost inputs as the measurement criteria in assessing the progress toward completion. Our estimation of the total costs required to fulfill our promise to a customer is generally based on our history of manufacturing similar assets for customers. This estimation of cost is critical to our revenue recognition process and is updated routinely to reflect changes in quantity or cost of the

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 47

inputs. In certain projects, the underlying technology or promise to the customer is unique to what we have historically promised, and reliably estimating the total cost to fulfill the promise to the customer requires a significant level of judgment. We provide for potential losses on any of these agreements when it is probable that we will incur the loss. The total revenue recognized for the sale of equipment on an over time basis during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $8.4 billion, $8.5 billion, and $6.1 billion, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill for each of our reporting units as of July 1, or more frequently when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist at the reporting unit level. When performing the annual impairment test, we have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine the existence of events and circumstances that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the existence of events and circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if we conclude otherwise, we would be required to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill, which involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions and typically requires analysis of discounted cash flows and other market information, such as trading multiples and comparable transactions.

Other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets. When testing for impairment, we group our long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, which involves significant estimates and judgments on the part of management.

The determination of whether goodwill and other long-lived assets are impaired involves a significant level of judgment and estimation, and changes in our forecasts, business strategy, government regulations, or economic or market conditions, among other things, could significantly impact these judgments, potentially decreasing the fair value of one or more reporting units or long-lived assets. Any resulting impairment charges could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates, and differences between tax laws and U.S. GAAP in various jurisdictions. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Our rate may be further impacted by the repatriation of foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested to the extent the repatriation would result in additional taxes, such as withholding and income taxes. Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management’s judgment and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. In cases where repatriation would otherwise incur significant withholding or income taxes, these foreign earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations. Computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and any other basis differences is not practicable.

Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable in future years. We routinely assess the recoverability of such assets, weighing available positive and negative evidence and recording a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the assets will not be realized. In undertaking such assessment, we first look to objective and verifiable evidence, the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses, if any, based on a rolling three-year period, recent earnings history and associated trends or changes, and the nature of temporary differences, including predictability of reversal patterns and duration of carryforward. We then also evaluate other evidence such as projected financial results, sensitivity of such results to external factors or changes in assumptions, and prudent and readily available tax planning strategies that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary differences. While we consider all available positive and negative evidence, certain objectively verifiable categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis. For example, concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence that is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. While this would not be the sole determinate of the need for a

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 48

valuation allowance, it does carry greater weight within the broader assessment when alongside other, more subjective evidence, including projections for future growth.

Our tax filings routinely are subject to audit by the tax authorities in the jurisdictions where we conduct business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the tax authorities or through the courts. We have provided for the amounts we believe will ultimately result from these proceedings, but settlements of issues raised in these audits may affect our tax rate. We have $525 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, at December 31, 2025. We are not able to reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts ultimately will be settled.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED

See "Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for further discussion of accounting standards to be adopted.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

See "Note 18. Related Party Transactions" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for further discussion of related party transactions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-K, including MD&A and certain statements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act (each a "forward-looking statement"). All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding the presentation of the Company's operations in future reports and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words "may," "will," "should," "potential," "intend," "expect," "would," "seek," "anticipate," "estimate," "overestimate," "underestimate," "believe," "could," "project," "predict," "continue," "target," "goal" or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others, the risk factors identified in the "Risk Factors" section of Part 1 of Item 1A of this Form 10-K and those set forth from time-to-time in other filings by the Company with the SEC. These documents are available through our website or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (EDGAR) system at http://www.sec.gov.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of this Annual Report. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or developments, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in our financial instruments and arise from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk, but do not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. A discussion of our primary market risk exposure in financial instruments is presented below.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 49

INTEREST RATE RISK

All of our long-term debt is comprised of fixed rate instruments. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2025, we had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500 million that converted a portion of our $1,350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.337% fixed rate Senior Notes due 2027 into a floating rate instrument with an interest rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate index. Each of the interest rate swaps is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedging instrument. The interest rate swaps are considered to be effective at achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged liability, and no ineffectiveness is recognized. The mark-to-market of this fair value hedge was recorded as a gain or loss in interest expense and was equally offset by the gain or loss of the underlying debt instrument, which also was recorded in interest expense.

The following table sets forth our fixed rate long-term debt, excluding finance leases, and the related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.


(In millions)	2026			2027			2028			2029			2030			Thereafter			Total (2)
As of December 31, 2025
Long-term debt (1)	$	600		$	1,350		$	—		$	760		$	500		$	2,496		$	5,706
Weighted average interest rates	2.35		%	4.89		%	—		%	3.48		%	4.57		%	4.16		%	4.08		%

(1)Fair market value of our fixed rate long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $5.4 billion at December 31, 2025.

(2)Amounts represent the principal value of our long-term debt outstanding and related weighted average interest rates at the end of the respective period.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK

We conduct our operations around the world in a number of different currencies, and we are exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Many of our significant foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency. As such, future earnings are subject to change due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies.

Additionally, we buy, manufacture, and sell components and products across global markets. These activities expose us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which can adversely affect revenue earned and costs of our operating businesses. When the currency in which equipment is sold differs from the primary currency of the legal entity and the exchange rate fluctuates, it will affect the revenue earned on the sale. These sales and purchase transactions also create receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and exposure to foreign currency gains and losses based on changes in exchange rates. Changes in the price of raw materials used in manufacturing can affect the cost of manufacturing. We use derivatives to mitigate or eliminate these exposures, where appropriate.

We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, most derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. We had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating $4.0 billion and $3.0 billion to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The notional amounts of these derivative instruments do not generally represent cash amounts exchanged by us and the counterparties, but rather the nominal amount upon which changes in the value of the derivatives are measured.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company estimates that a 1% appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. dollar would result in an impact of less than $15 million to our pre-tax earnings; however, the Company is generally able to mitigate its foreign exchange exposure, where there are liquid financial markets, through use of foreign currency derivative transactions. Also, see "Note 15. Financial Instruments" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein, which has additional details on our strategy.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025. This conclusion is based on the recognition that there are inherent limitations in all systems of internal control. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors

Baker Hughes Company:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Baker Hughes Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 5, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue recognition on certain agreements for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company enters into agreements for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications on an over time basis. Revenue from these types of contracts is recognized to the extent of progress towards completion measured by actual costs incurred relative to total expected costs. The Company provides for potential losses on these types of contracts when it is probable that a loss will be incurred.

We identified revenue recognition for certain contracts from the sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications as a critical audit matter. Complex auditor judgment was required in evaluating the Company's long-term estimates of the expected costs to be incurred in order to complete these contracts.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 52

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's revenue recognition process for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications. This included controls pertaining to the Company's estimation of costs expected to be incurred to complete contracts for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications. We evaluated the Company's ability to accurately estimate costs expected to be incurred to complete the contracts for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications. We evaluated the estimated costs expected to be incurred to complete the equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications for the contracts by:

–questioning the Company's finance and project managers regarding progress to date based on the latest project reports and the costs expected to be incurred until completion, including confirmations with certain subcontractors;

–observing project review meetings performed by the Company or inspecting relevant minutes of those meetings to identify changes in the estimated costs expected to be incurred to complete the contract and related contract margins;

–assessing the remaining estimated costs expected to be incurred by expenditure category by comparing to the actual costs incurred during the current year for the selected project; and

–investigating changes to the contract margin when compared to the prior year's estimated contract margin.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2017.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Baker Hughes Company:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Baker Hughes Company and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 5, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S." and such principles, "U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for annual financial information. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baker Hughes and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates it controls or variable interest entities for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. Certain columns and rows in the financial statements and notes thereto may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty, and accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company's operating environment changes. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for credit losses and inventory valuation reserves; recoverability of long-lived assets and certain equity investments; revenue recognition on long-term contracts; valuation of goodwill; useful lives used in depreciation and amortization; income taxes and related valuation allowances; accruals for contingencies; actuarial assumptions to determine costs and liabilities related to employee benefit plans; stock-based compensation expense; valuation of derivatives; and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar have been translated into U.S. dollars using the Company's period-end exchange rates, and revenue, expenses, and cash flows have been translated at average rates for the respective periods. Any resulting translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income. The impact of remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries is included in the consolidated statements of income.

Revenue from Sale of Equipment

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

The Company recognizes revenue on agreements for sales of equipment manufactured to unique customer specifications, including long-term construction projects, on an over time basis, utilizing cost inputs as the

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 60

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

measurement criteria in assessing the progress toward completion. The Company's estimate of costs to be incurred to fulfill its promise to a customer is based on the Company's history of manufacturing similar assets for customers and is updated routinely to reflect changes in quantity or pricing of the inputs. The Company begins to recognize revenue on these contracts when the contract-specific inventory becomes customized for a customer, which is reflective of its initial transfer of control of the incurred costs. The Company provides for potential losses on any of these agreements when it is probable that it will incur the loss.

The Company's billing terms for these over time contracts vary, but are generally based on achieving specified milestones. The differences between the timing of the Company's revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to its contract asset or contract liability positions.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point In Time

The Company recognizes revenue for non-customized equipment at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good. Equipment for which the Company recognizes revenue at a point in time includes equipment manufactured on a standardized basis for sale to the market. The Company uses proof of delivery for certain large equipment with more complex logistics associated with the shipment, whereas the delivery of other equipment is generally determined based on historical data of transit times between regions.

On occasion the Company sells equipment with a right of return. The Company uses its accumulated experience to estimate and provide for such returns when it records the sale. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, the Company recognizes revenue when it has concluded that the customer has control of the equipment and that acceptance has or is likely to occur.

The Company's billing terms for these point in time equipment contracts vary, but are generally based on shipment of the equipment to the customer.

Revenue from Sale of Services

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

The Company sells product services under long-term product maintenance or extended warranty agreements in the Industrial & Energy Technology ("IET") segment. These agreements require the Company to maintain the customers' assets over the service agreement contract terms, which generally range from 10 to 20 years. In general, these are contractual arrangements to provide services, repairs, and maintenance of a covered unit (gas turbines for mechanical drive or power generation, primarily on liquefied natural gas ("LNG") applications). These services are performed at various times during the life of the contract, thus the costs of performing services are incurred on an other than straight-line basis. The Company recognizes related sales based on the extent of its progress toward completion measured by actual costs incurred in relation to total expected costs. The Company provides for any loss that it expects to incur on any of these agreements when that loss becomes probable. The Company utilizes historical customer data, prior product performance data, statistical analysis, third-party data, and internal management estimates to calculate contract-specific margins. In certain contracts, the total transaction price is variable based on customer utilization, which is excluded from the contract margin until the period in which the customer has utilized the services to appropriately reflect the revenue activity in the period earned. In addition, revenue for certain oilfield services is recognized on an over time basis as performed.

The Company's billing terms for these contracts are generally based on asset utilization (i.e. usage per hour) or the occurrence of a major maintenance event within the contract. The differences between the timing of the Company's revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to its contract asset or contract liability positions.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 61

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point In Time

The Company sells certain tangible products, largely spare equipment, through its services business. The Company recognizes revenue for this equipment at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is at the point in time the Company delivers the spare part to the customer. The Company's billing terms for these point in time service contracts vary, but are generally based on shipment of the equipment to the customer.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and relate to the research and development of new products and services. Research and development costs were $600 million, $643 million, and $651 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, net of related funding received from third parties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less are included in cash equivalents unless designated as available-for-sale and classified as investment securities.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company monitors its customers' payment history and current creditworthiness to determine that collectability of the related financial assets is reasonably assured. The Company also considers the overall business climate in which its customers operate. The Company does not generally require collateral in support of its current receivables, but it may require payment in advance or security in the form of a letter of credit or a bank guarantee. For accounts receivable, a loss allowance matrix is utilized to measure lifetime expected credit losses. The matrix contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations.

Inventories

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable values and they are measured on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis or average cost basis. As necessary, the Company records provisions and maintains reserves for excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventory. To determine these reserve amounts, the Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and compares them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements, and technological developments.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is initially stated at cost and is depreciated over its estimated economic life. Subsequently, PP&E is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided by using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the individual assets, and impairment losses. The Company manufactures a substantial portion of its tools and equipment in the Oilfield Services & Equipment ("OFSE") segment and the cost of these items, which includes direct and indirect manufacturing costs, is capitalized in inventory and subsequently moved to PP&E.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill on a qualitative or quantitative basis for each of its reporting units as of July 1, in conjunction with its annual strategic planning process, or more frequently when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist at the reporting unit level. When performing the annual impairment test, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine the existence of events and circumstances that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such a conclusion is reached, the Company would then be required to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill. However, if the assessment leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then no further assessments are required. A quantitative assessment for the determination of impairment is made by comparing the

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 62

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

carrying amount of each reporting unit with its fair value, which is generally calculated using a combination of market, comparable transactions, and discounted cash flow approaches. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of the Company's most recent annual or interim impairment testing, in particular the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed; (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, if any; and (iii) declines in the Company's market capitalization below its book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, if any.

The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The cost of intangible assets is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated economic life.

The Company reviews PP&E, intangible assets, and certain other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets. When testing for impairment, the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset group). The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets.

Leases

The Company enters into various contractual arrangements for the right to use facilities and equipment. At contract inception, management evaluates whether each of these arrangements contains a lease and classifies all identified leases as either operating or finance. If the arrangement is subsequently modified, the classification is re-evaluated. Upon commencement of the lease, management recognizes a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") asset. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as other long-lived assets.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, current receivables, investments, accounts payables, short and long-term debt, and derivative financial instruments.

The Company monitors its exposure to various business risks including commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates, and it regularly uses derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. At the inception of a new derivative, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge, or it determines the derivative to be undesignated as a hedging instrument. The Company documents the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company assesses whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item at both the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis.

The Company records all derivatives as of the end of its reporting period in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value. For the forward contracts held as undesignated hedging instruments, the Company records the changes in fair value in the consolidated statements of income along with the change in the fair value, related to foreign exchange movements, of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Fair Value Measurements

For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 63

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs and the Company maintains policies and procedures to identify, monitor and assess the reasonableness of these inputs to the valuation. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives

When the Company has Level 1 derivatives, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid markets, the Company uses closing prices for valuation. The majority of the Company's derivatives are valued using internal models and are included in Level 2. These internal models maximize the use of market observable inputs, including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent foreign currency and commodity forward contracts for the Company.

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities, and they are included in Level 1. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly traded equity securities.

For investment securities for which market prices are observable for identical or similar investment securities but not readily accessible for each of those investments individually (that is, it is difficult to obtain pricing information for each individual investment security at the measurement date), the Company uses pricing models and observable inputs that are consistent with what other market participants would use, and these are included in Level 2. The inputs and assumptions to the models are derived from market observable sources, including: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. When the Company uses valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, it classifies the investment securities in Level 3.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale, equity securities without readily determinable fair value, and equity method investments and long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities (in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence, most often because it holds a voting interest of 0% to 20%) with readily determinable fair values, are measured at fair value with changes recognized in earnings and reported in "Other (income) expense, net" in the consolidated statements of income. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar equity securities of the same issuer. These changes are recorded in "Other (income) expense, net" in the consolidated statements of income.

Equity method investments are equity holdings in entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has significant influence, most often because it holds a voting interest of 20% to 50%. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate carrying amount of the Company's equity method investments

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 64

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

was $1,117 million and $1,080 million, respectively. The results of the Company's equity method investments are presented in the consolidated statements of income as follows: (i) if the investment is integral to the Company's operations, their results are included in Cost of Sales and (ii) if the investment is not integral to the Company's operations, their results are included in "Other (income) expense, net." Investments in, and advances to, equity method investments are presented on a one-line basis in "All other assets" in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax base of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered, as well as for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. The effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period in which such change is enacted. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not, and a valuation allowance is established for any portion of a deferred tax asset that management believes is not more likely than not to be realized.

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's tax expense and in evaluating its tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company's tax filings are subject to audit by the tax authorities in the jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the tax authorities or through the courts. The Company has provided for the amounts that it believes will ultimately result from these proceedings. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions that are "more likely than not" to be sustained if the relevant tax authority were to audit the position with full knowledge of all the relevant facts and other information. For those tax positions that meet this threshold, the Company measures the amount of tax benefit based on the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% chance of being realized in a final settlement with the relevant authority. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The effects of tax adjustments and settlements from taxing authorities are presented in the financial statements in the period they are finalized.

Prior to 2023, Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("BHH LLC"), the Company's wholly owned primary operating subsidiary, was treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes. As a partnership, BHH LLC was not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Effective December 30, 2023, the Company completed a reorganization that resulted in BHH LLC no longer being treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and is now included and taxed as part of the Company's consolidated U.S. tax return.

Supply Chain Finance Programs

Under the supply chain finance ("SCF") programs, administered by a third party, the Company's suppliers are given the opportunity to sell receivables from the Company to participating financial institutions at their sole discretion at a rate that leverages the Company's credit rating and thus might be more beneficial to the Company's suppliers. The Company's responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with the Company's supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. The range of payment terms the Company negotiates with its suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $410 million and $411 million of SCF program liabilities are recorded in "Accounts payable" in the consolidated statements of financial position, respectively, and reflected in net cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows when settled. See "Note 23. Supplementary Information" for further information on the changes in the Company's SCF program liabilities.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED

The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). See "Note 11. Income Taxes" for the enhanced disclosures associated with the adoption of ASU 2023-09. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's operating results.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" ("ASU 2024-03"), which enhances the disclosures required for certain expense captions in the Company's annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective prospectively or retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). Under the new guidance, internal-use software costs are capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the software will be completed and used for its intended function. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its accounting for internal-use software.

All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains Company sponsored pension plans for certain of its employees. The Company also maintains unfunded end-of-service benefit plans that are mandated in certain countries in which it operates. The Company's primary plans disclosed in 2025 included three U.S. plans and eight non-U.S. plans, primarily in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Germany, all with plan assets or obligations greater than $20 million. These defined benefit plans generally provide benefits to employees based on formulas recognizing length of service and earnings; however, the majority of these plans are either frozen or closed to new entrants. The Company also provides certain postretirement health care benefits, through unfunded plans, to a closed group of U.S. employees who retire and meet certain age and service requirements. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation related to these plans was $25 million and $28 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Funded Status

The funded status position represents the difference between the benefit obligation and the plan assets. The Company's primary plans consist of six funded plans and five unfunded plans. The projected benefit obligation ("PBO") for pension benefits represents the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employee services and compensation and includes an assumption about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") is the actuarial present value of pension benefits attributed to employee service to date at present compensation levels. The ABO differs from the PBO in that the ABO does not include any assumptions about future compensation levels.

The Company has a U.S. non-qualified supplemental pension plan ("BH SPP") for certain employees, which is included in the benefit obligations and funded status in the tables above. In order to meet a portion of the Company's obligations of the BH SPP, the Company established a trust comprised primarily of mutual fund assets. The value of these assets was $38 million and $36 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These assets are not included as plan assets or in the funded status amounts in the tables above and below.

Net periodic cost	$	85	$	44	$	33

The service cost component of the net periodic cost is included in "Selling, general and administrative" and all other components are included in "Other (income) expense, net" in the consolidated statements of income.

Assumptions Used in Benefit Calculations

Accounting requirements necessitate the use of assumptions to reflect the uncertainties and the length of time over which the pension obligations will be paid. The actual amount of future benefit payments will depend upon when participants retire, the amount of their benefit at retirement, and how long they live. To reflect the obligation in today's dollars, the Company discounts the future payments using a rate that matches the time frame over which the payments are expected to be made. The Company also needs to assume a long-term rate of return that will be earned on investments used to fund these payments.

Another assumption used is the interest crediting rate for the Company's U.S. qualified cash balance plan. Under the provisions of this pension plan, a hypothetical cash balance account has been established for each participant. Such accounts receive quarterly interest credits based on a prescribed formula.

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 74

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations for these plans are as follows:


	Pension Benefits
	2025		2024
Discount rate	4.74	%	5.22	%
Rate of compensation increase	3.32	%	3.31	%
Interest crediting rate	3.20	%	4.46	%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic cost for these plans are as follows:


	Pension Benefits
	2025		2024		2023
Discount rate	5.22	%	4.54	%	4.89	%
Expected long-term return on plan assets	5.18	%	5.97	%	5.05	%
Interest crediting rate	4.46	%	3.98	%	4.31	%

The Company determines the discount rate using a bond matching model, whereby the weighted average yields on high-quality fixed-income securities have maturities consistent with the timing of benefit payments. Lower discount rates increase the size of the benefit obligations while higher discount rates reduce the size of the benefit obligation. The compensation assumption is used in the Company's active plans to estimate the annual rate at which the pay for plan participants will grow. If the rate of growth assumed increases, the size of the pension obligations will increase.

The expected return on plan assets is the estimated long-term rate of return that will be earned on the investments used to fund the pension obligations. To determine this rate, the Company considers the current and target composition of plan investments, historical returns earned, and expectations about the future.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The amount recorded before-tax in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Company's defined benefit plans consists of the following at December 31:


	Pension Benefits
	2025		2024
Net actuarial loss	$	384	$	338
Net prior service cost	12		14
Total	$	396	$	352

Plan Assets

The Company has an investment committee that meets regularly to review portfolio returns and to determine asset-mix targets based on asset/liability studies. Third-party investment consultants assist the committee in developing asset allocation strategies to determine the Company's expected rates of return and expected risk for various investment portfolios. The investment committee considered these strategies in the formal establishment of the current asset-mix targets based on the projected risk and return levels for all major asset classes.

Plan assets valued using Net Asset Value ("NAV") as a practical expedient amounted to $382 million and $1,557 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The percentages of plan assets valued using NAV by investment fund type for equity securities, fixed income and cash, and alternative investments were 0%, 50%, and 50% as of December 31, 2025, respectively, and 12%, 80%, and 8% as of December 31, 2024, respectively. Those investments that were measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient were excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The practical expedient was not applied for investments with a fair value of $1,231 million and $151 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were investments classified within Level 3 of $1,224 million and $92 million for non U.S. insurance contracts as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Other

In 2025, the trustees of the Company's U.K. defined benefit pension plans executed annuity purchase transactions (collectively, the "buy‑ins") with an independent third‑party insurance company with no affiliation to the Company. The buy‑in premiums were funded from plan assets, with additional Company contributions as necessary. The aggregate premium paid was approximately $1,107 million. Under the buy‑in insurance contracts, the plans retain the legal responsibility to pay benefits to participants, and the insurer makes monthly payments to the plans that match the benefits due to the covered participants. As the plans remain primarily responsible for the pension obligation, the buy‑ins do not meet the settlement criteria under ASC 715, and settlement accounting was not applied.

The buy‑in insurance contracts are recognized as plan assets and measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 715 and ASC 820. Fair value reflects the present value of expected cash flows from the insurers under the contracts, using market‑based assumptions; because valuation incorporates significant unobservable inputs, these assets are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of plan assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In 2025, the Company initiated the termination of one of its frozen U.S. defined benefit pension plans (the "Plan"), which would result in the full settlement of the Company's Plan obligations, which at December 31, 2025 was $406 million. The distribution of Plan assets from the pension trust fund pursuant to the termination will not be made until the Plan termination satisfies all regulatory requirements, which the Company currently expects to occur by the end of 2026. The Company does not expect the termination to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Funding Policy

The funding policy for the Company's Pension Benefits is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as it may determine to be appropriate. In 2025, the Company contributed approximately $54 million, which includes benefit payments made directly to the employee, for its unfunded plans. The Company anticipates it will contribute between approximately $115 million to $120 million to its pension plans in 2026.

The following table presents the expected benefit payments for Pension Benefits over the next 10 years. For funded Company sponsored plans, the benefit payments are made by the respective pension trust funds.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

The Company's primary defined contribution plan during 2025 was the Company-sponsored U.S. 401(k) plan ("401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees to contribute portions of their eligible compensation to an investment trust. The Company matches employee contributions at the rate of $1.00 per $1.00 employee contribution for the first 5% of the employee's eligible compensation, and such contributions vest immediately. In addition, the Company makes cash contributions for all eligible employees of 4% of their eligible compensation and such contributions are fully vested after three years of employment. The 401(k) Plan provides several investment options, for which the employee has sole investment discretion; however, the 401(k) Plan does not offer the Company's common stock as an investment option. The Company's costs for the 401(k) Plan and several other U.S. and non-U.S. defined contribution plans amounted to $254 million and $180 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company has two non-qualified defined contribution plans that are invested through trusts. The assets and corresponding liabilities were $330 million and $300 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in "All other assets" and "Liabilities for pensions and other postretirement benefits," respectively, in the consolidated statements of financial position.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA preserves the 21% U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and makes a favorable change to the business interest expense limitation. Further, the OBBBA also makes key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and various expiring international provisions (with some modifications). Pursuant to ASC 740, changes in tax rates and tax law are required to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company has completed its evaluation of the impact of this legislation and has determined that the OBBBA did not have a material impact on its 2025 financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted The Inflation Reduction Act, which included a number of additional credits and deductions for businesses and individuals. The Inflation Reduction Act also included the adoption of the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax in 2023, which is based on financial statement book income of large corporations. To date, the impact of the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax has been immaterial to the Company.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $456 million of non-U.S. tax credits and other carryforwards that may be carried forward indefinitely under applicable foreign law, $113 million of U.S. foreign tax credits, and $165 million of other U.S. Federal and state tax credits, the majority of which have expiration dates after tax year 2028 under U.S. Federal and state tax law. Additionally, the Company had $3,243 million of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), of which approximately $303 million have expiration dates within five years, $1,930 million have expiration dates between six years and 20 years, and the remainder can be carried forward indefinitely. Lastly, the Company had $30 million of capital loss carryforwards, the majority of which can be carried forward indefinitely.

The Company routinely assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, giving consideration to a range of factors including, but not limited to, the pattern of historical taxable income generation, current performance, including active contractual arrangements, and the forecasted business outlook across operating jurisdictions. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on a number of factors, including the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is recorded (or maintained) when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assessed both positive and negative evidence, with significant weight given to objective and verifiable factors, such as recent taxable income levels and credit utilization. Based on this evaluation, including consideration of our projected future taxable earnings, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that its U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets are recoverable. Accordingly, the Company released the associated valuation allowances, resulting in net tax benefits of $308 million and $664 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

At December 31, 2025, $3,498 million of valuation allowances are recorded against various deferred tax assets, primarily related to foreign operating and capital losses of $2,820 million and non-U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $438 million. The following table presents the change in the valuation allowances during the year:

Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management's intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. In cases where repatriation would otherwise incur significant withholding or income taxes, these earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in the Company's active non-U.S. business operations. As of December 31, 2025, the cumulative amount of undistributed foreign earnings is approximately $6,622 million. Computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and any other basis differences is not practicable.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $525 million of tax liabilities for total gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. In addition to these uncertain tax positions, the Company had $82 million and $49 million related to interest and penalties, respectively, for total liabilities of $656 million for uncertain positions. If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain positions, the net effect would result in an income tax benefit of approximately $612 million. The remaining $44 million is comprised of $29 million for deferred tax assets that represent tax benefits that would be received in different taxing jurisdictions or in a different character and $15 million for increased valuation allowances.

The following table presents the changes in the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated statements of financial position.

The Company conducts business in more than 120 countries and is subject to income taxes in most taxing jurisdictions in which it operates, each of which may have multiple open years subject to examination. All Internal Revenue Service examinations have been completed and closed through 2020 for the most significant U.S. returns. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties in all jurisdictions.

NOTE 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTI Plan") under which it may grant restricted stock units ("RSU"), performance share units ("PSU"), stock options, and other equity-based awards to employees and non-employee directors providing services to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company also provides an Employee Stock Purchase Plan for eligible employees. A total of up to 29.5 million shares of Class A common stock are reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the LTI Plan over its term, which expires on the date of the annual meeting of the Company in 2031. A total of 17.6 million shares of Class A common stock are available for issuance as of December 31, 2025.

Stock-based compensation cost was $203 million, $202 million, and $197 million for the years ended December

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 82

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant based on the calculated fair value of the award and is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the equity grant. The compensation cost is determined based on awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore, the Company has reduced the cost for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. There were no stock-based compensation costs capitalized as the amounts were not material.

Restricted Stock

The Company may grant to its officers, directors, and key employees RSUs, where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a stipulated period, one unrestricted share of stock with no exercise price. Certain RSUs are subject to cliff or graded vesting, generally ranging over a period of three years. Non-employee directors are granted RSUs that immediately vest on the grant date. Cash dividend equivalents are accumulated on RSUs and are payable upon vesting of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of its common stock on the date of grant.

The following table presents the changes in RSUs outstanding and related information (in thousands, except per unit prices):


	Number of Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit
Unvested balance at December 31, 2024	11,494	$	29.06
Granted	4,372	44.48
Vested	(5,586)	29.05
Forfeited	(973)	35.35
Unvested balance at December 31, 2025	9,307	$	35.65

In 2025, the total intrinsic value of RSUs vested (defined as the value of shares awarded based on the price of the Company's common stock at vesting date) was $254 million and unvested RSUs was $424 million. The total grant date fair value of RSUs vested in 2025 was $162 million. As of December 31, 2025, there was $185 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.77 years.

Performance Share Units

The Company may grant PSUs to certain officers and key employees. The PSUs are stock-based awards tied to predefined company metrics and contain a payout modifier based on total shareholder return ("TSR"). PSUs generally cliff vest after a service period of three years. Cash dividend equivalents are accumulated on PSUs and are payable upon vesting of the awards. The fair value of the awards determined for the predefined company metrics are based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the PSU awards is determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation method.

The following table presents the changes in PSUs outstanding and related information (in thousands, except per unit prices):


	Number of Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit
Unvested balance at December 31, 2024	2,542	$	32.45
Granted	1,224	41.08
Vested	(1,328)	32.24

Forfeited	(344)	36.93
Unvested balance at December 31, 2025	2,094	$	36.88

Baker Hughes Company 2025 Form 10-K | 83

Baker Hughes Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The total intrinsic value of PSUs vested and unvested, (defined as the value of the shares awarded at the year-end market price) was $55 million and $95 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. The total grant date fair value of PSUs vested in 2025 was $43 million. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.64 years, was $34 million as of December 31, 2025.

Stock Options

The Company previously granted stock options to its officers, directors, and key employees. Stock options generally vest in equal amounts over a vesting period of three years provided that the employee has remained continuously employed by the Company through such vesting date. The Company has not granted stock options to officers, directors, or key employees since 2019.

The following table presents the changes in stock options outstanding and related information (in thousands, except per option prices):


	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option
Outstanding at December 31, 2024	1,425	$	31.99

Exercised	(581)	27.54


Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2025	844	$	35.04

The weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2025 was 1.8 years. The maximum remaining contractual term of options outstanding is 3.1 years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised (defined as the amount by which the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the option) in 2025 was $10 million. The total intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2025 was $9 million. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding is calculated as the amount by which the quoted price of $45.54 of the Company's common stock as of the end of 2025 exceeds the exercise price of the options.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The employee stock purchase plan provides for eligible employees to purchase shares of Class A common stock quarterly on an after-tax basis in an amount between 1% and 20% of their annual pay at a 15% discount of the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock at the end of each quarterly offering period. An employee may not purchase more than $3,000 in any of the three-month measurement periods described above or $12,000 annually.

A total of 21.5 million shares of Class A common stock are authorized for issuance, and at December 31, 2025, there were 5.3 million shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance.

NOTE 13. EQUITY

COMMON STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 2 billion shares of Class A common stock and 50 million shares of preferred stock, each of which has a par value of $0.0001 per share.

The Company has a share repurchase program that it expects to fund from cash generated from operations, and it expects to make share repurchases from time to time subject to the Company's capital plan, market conditions, and other factors, including regulatory restrictions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. In 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased and canceled 9.8 million and 15.2 million shares of Class A common stock, each for $384 million and

$484 million, representing an average price per share of $39.38 and $31.78, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had authorization remaining to repurchase up to approximately $1.3 billion of its Class A common stock.

The following table presents the changes in the number of shares outstanding (in thousands):
