Reports Q1 revenue $6.42B, consensus $6.37B. “2024 has gotten off to a good start for Baker Hughes. Our solid first-quarter results put us on a path toward achieving our full-year guidance and continue to build on the momentum from last year as we execute our strategy,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, CEO. “We have started the year positively on the orders front. This is particularly evident in the IET segment, where we booked $2.9 billion of orders during the quarter, including large awards from Aramco for the Master Gas System 3 and Black & Veatch for Cedar LNG. We delivered strong first quarter operating results, highlighted by 50% year-over-year Adjusted EPS growth. Importantly, we exceeded the midpoint of our EBITDA margin guidance, driven by outstanding operational performance in the IET segment. We also booked $239 million of new energy orders and generated more than $500 million of free cash flow. We also continue to enhance returns to our shareholders. During the quarter, we increased our quarterly dividend by one penny to 21 cents, which represents an 11% increase year-over-year, repurchased $158 million of shares and remain firmly on-track to deliver 60% – 80% of free cash flow to shareholders.”
