“We were pleased with our first quarter results and remain optimistic on the outlook for 2023. We maintained our strong order momentum in IET and SSPS. We also delivered solid operating results at the high end of our guidance in both business segments, booked almost $300 million of New Energy orders and generated approximately $200 million of free cash flow,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer.

“While 2023 has already started off with some macro volatility, we remain optimistic on the outlook for energy services and Baker Hughes. Our diverse portfolio features long cycle and short cycle businesses that position us well to navigate any periods of variability that may occur across the energy sector.”

“We continue to believe that the current environment remains unique, with a spending cycle that is more durable and less sensitive to commodity price swings, relative to prior cycles. Another notable characteristic of this cycle is the continued shift towards the development of natural gas and LNG. As the world increasingly recognizes the crucial role natural gas will play in the energy transition, serving as both a transition and destination fuel, the case for a multi-decade growth opportunity in gas is steadily improving as both a transition and destination fuel.”

“In addition to capitalizing on the commercial opportunities presented by this favorable macro backdrop, Baker Hughes remains committed in 2023 to transforming the Company operationally and positioning it for growth in the energy and industrial markets. I want to thank our shareholders, customers, and our employees for their continued hard work to deliver against our strategic goals,” concluded Simonelli.
