Filed October 23, 2020For Securities:BKR

Summary

Baker Hughes Company reported a net loss attributable to stockholders of $170 million, or $0.25 per share, for the third quarter of 2020, a significant decline compared to a net income of $57 million, or $0.11 per share, in the same period last year. This downturn was largely driven by a substantial goodwill impairment charge of $14.77 billion recorded in the first quarter of 2020, alongside ongoing impacts from the challenging oil and gas market environment influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and price volatility. Despite the net loss, the company's revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $5.05 billion, a decrease from $5.88 billion in the prior year's third quarter, primarily due to lower volumes in the Oilfield Services (OFS) and Digital Solutions (DS) segments. However, the Turbomachinery & Process Solutions (TPS) segment showed strength with revenue growth driven by increased equipment volume. The company maintained a strong liquidity position with $4.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and continued to manage its operational costs and capital expenditures conservatively.
