ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 thereto, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Annual Report").

Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") is an energy technology company with a broad and diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. We conduct business in more than 120 countries and employ approximately 54,000 employees. We operate through our two business segments: Oilfield Services & Equipment ("OFSE") and Industrial & Energy Technology ("IET"). We sell products and services primarily in the global oil and gas markets, within the upstream, midstream and downstream segments, as well as broader industrial and new energy markets.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Market Conditions

During the second quarter of 2026, continued disruptions in the Middle East contributed to tighter oil and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) market balances and higher inflationary costs.

We believe that macroeconomic uncertainty, resulting from disruptions across key energy corridors, including the Strait of Hormuz, has now become a structural feature of oil and gas markets, increasing the focus on energy security and the reliability of affordable supply. As global energy demand continues to rise, these dynamics underscore the importance of sustained investment across the upstream sector.

Looking ahead, oil market fundamentals are likely to be supported by a supply-constrained market and the need to replenish depleted strategic inventories. As the dynamic geopolitical environment continues to create uncertainty, we expect to see a decline in upstream spending in the Middle East this year, while spending in North American and other international markets is expected to remain broadly unchanged compared to 2025, absent further downside pressure in oil prices. Additionally, ongoing supply constraints through the Strait of Hormuz and broader disruptions across the Middle East are expected to create incremental risk across the business, with potential impacts on customer spending patterns, project timing, and supply chain visibility. Over the longer term, heightened geopolitical risk may contribute to higher mid-cycle oil prices necessary to incentivize incremental global supply. As a result, we see continued upstream investment as necessary to sustain production growth and meet rising global demand. We also expect a continued increase in operating expenditure-driven investment as operators focus on optimizing recovery and extending the life of producing assets.

We believe natural gas’s reliability, scalability, and dispatchability position it as an important long‑term energy source with the potential to support lower‑emissions outcomes across the energy system. The global natural gas outlook continues to be supported by increasing demand for LNG and ongoing natural gas development activity. A renewed focus on energy security reinforces these fundamentals, which are underpinned by long‑term energy demand growth driven by population growth, rising living standards, and accelerating electrification.

Financial Results and Key Company Initiatives

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company generated revenues of $6.7 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion, or 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. IET revenue remained flat year-over-year, driven by an increase of $79 million or 11% in Gas Technology Services ("GTS"), an increase of $61 million or 13% in Industrial Products ("IP"), and an increase in Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS") of $49 million or 31%, offset by a decrease of $100 million or 6% in Gas Technology Equipment ("GTE"), and a decrease of $91 million or 33% in Industrial Solutions ("IS") reflective of the Precision Sensors & Instrumentation ("PSI") disposition. OFSE revenue decreased $0.2 billion, or 5% year-over-year led by the Surface Pressure Control ("SPC") disposition and a decline in international revenue. Net income was $0.7 billion, which remained flat compared to the second quarter of 2025, driven by reduced income tax expense, improved performance in Segment EBITDA, and the change in fair value of equity securities, offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, transaction related costs, working capital adjustments related to business dispositions, interest expense, and restructuring.

On July 16, 2026, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Chart Industries, Inc. ("Chart"), for

Baker Hughes Company 2026 Second Quarter Form 10-Q | 27

$210 per share, representing an enterprise value of approximately $13.6 billion (the "Chart acquisition") as discussed in "Note 19. Business Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Businesses Held for Sale." The Chart acquisition was funded through an offering of senior notes in March 2026, along with other borrowings, as discussed in "Note 8. Debt," and cash on hand.

In the second quarter of 2026, we returned $228 million to shareholders through dividends.

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 to see an improvement in global upstream spending through the remainder of the year across both international and North American markets, absent further downside pressure in oil prices.

•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 around reducing carbon emissions for the energy and broader industrial sectors. These include hydrogen; geothermal; carbon capture, utilization and storage; 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.

Sustainability

We believe we have an important role to play in society as an industry leader and partner. We view the area of sustainability as a lever to transform the performance of our Company. In 2019, we made a commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from our operations by 50% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. We continue to make progress on emissions reductions and reported in our 2025 Corporate Sustainability Report a 36.9% reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide equivalent emissions as compared to our 2019 base year, alongside a 45.8% intensity reduction. Key initiatives supporting these results include facility consolidation, increased use of renewable electricity, infrastructure upgrades, and electrification of our vehicle fleet.

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and should be read in conjunction with our condensed 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

In North America, customer spending is influenced by the price of oil and gas as indicated by the Cushing, OK West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil spot price and the Henry Hub natural gas spot price. Outside of North America, customer spending is influenced by Brent crude oil prices.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
