Broad-Based International Growth More than Offset Impact of Middle East Disruptions

“SLB delivered solid second-quarter results, as broad-based sequential growth across international markets — led by offshore activity in Latin America, Europe & Africa and Asia — more than offset the impact of continued disruptions in the Middle East,” said SLB Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch.

“Excluding the Middle East, revenue grew sequentially across all Divisions, supported by higher offshore activity, a rebound in U.S. unconventionals and strong demand for production and recovery solutions.”

“Importantly, this quarter marked a return to year-on-year revenue growth outside the Middle East, reinforcing our view of the favorable investment backdrop for the industry. This growth is driven by customers’ increased focus on energy security, supply diversification, and production capacity expansion,” Le Peuch said.

Production Systems and Digital Drive Sequential Growth

“Production Systems revenue grew 7% sequentially supported by U.S. unconventionals and international markets, as customers increasingly prioritized solutions that enhance production, improve recovery and extend asset life. This drove growth in artificial lift, valves, surface production systems and production chemicals, further highlighting the strategic value of ChampionX in our portfolio.

Production Systems also benefited from increased subsea activity, reflecting growing momentum in long-cycle offshore investment as customers advance key developments and sanction new projects.

In Digital, revenue increased 9% sequentially, driven by strong revenue in Digital Exploration, Platforms & Applications, and Digital Operations.

Digital, AI, and data-driven workflows are playing an increasingly important role in improving subsurface understanding, accelerating decision making, and enhancing operational performance. We continue to see strong demand for these capabilities going forward,” Le Peuch said.

Data Center Solutions Growth Accelerates on Rising Demand and Customer Expansion

“Our Data Center Solutions business maintained its strong growth trajectory during the second quarter, supported by rising demand and customer expansion. Data Center Solutions revenue in the first six months of 2026 grew 63% year on year.

During the quarter, Meta announced plans for a new 1GW data center in Canada, and we are proud to have been selected as a delivery partner for this project.

Beyond adding new hyperscaler customers and expanding our footprint internationally, we have widened our scope to include engineering and design. This reflects the strength of SLB’s modular and scalable off-site manufacturing and engineering capabilities — and underscores the significant opportunity ahead to support hyperscaler customers as they accelerate investments in critical digital infrastructure.

The Data Center Solutions business remains on track to exceed $1 billion annualized revenue run rate by the end of this year. As we broaden our offering and further diversify our customer base and geographic footprint, we expect to surpass $2 billion annualized revenue run rate as we exit 2027,” Le Peuch said.

Strong Foundation for 2027

“Our second-quarter performance demonstrates that growth is broadening across geographies outside the Middle East and spanning both short- and long-cycle resource plays. The regional conflict has heightened the industry’s focus on supply diversification, which is expected to shape the next upcycle and is reinforcing the strategic importance of deepwater, exploration, and production and recovery activities.

In the Middle East, the first-half revenue decline reflected lower activity and operational disruptions associated with the conflict. While activity began to recover in certain countries during the second quarter, the timing of a full recovery remains uncertain and will depend on a durable resolution of the conflict. As activity improves, we expect the return to full production capacity to take time.

The recovery will require higher service intensity — particularly in well intervention — as well as increased equipment demand, infrastructure repair and the realignment of shipping logistics. With our differentiated technology, execution capabilities and regional scale, SLB is well positioned to support customers as activity and production normalize.

Looking ahead, the combination of improving activity in the Middle East, strengthening offshore momentum led by exploration and deepwater, stronger demand for production and recovery solutions, continued Digital growth and increasing adoption of our Data Center Solutions business provides a strong foundation for SLB’s growth heading into 2027,” Le Peuch concluded.

Other Events

During the quarter, SLB repurchased 12 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $648 million.

During the quarter, SLB completed the acquisition of Tachyus Corp., a Houston-based technology company specializing in high-speed reservoir modeling and optimization. This acquisition strengthens SLB’s digital portfolio with differentiated physics-based reservoir modeling capabilities that enable faster reservoir management decisions to maximize recovery. The transaction also helps bridge development planning and production execution across complex and mature assets.

On July 23, 2026, SLB’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.295 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on October 8, 2026, to stockholders of record on September 2, 2026.

Second-Quarter Revenue by Geographical Area

Second-quarter revenue of $8.97 billion increased 3% sequentially with international revenue increasing 3% and North America revenue increasing 4%. Sequential revenue growth was broad-based with revenue increases in North America, Latin America, Europe & Africa, and Asia more than offsetting the 13% revenue decline in the Middle East due to persistent disruptions related to the conflict.

The revenue growth was supported by higher offshore activity, a rebound in U.S. unconventionals, and strong demand for production and recovery solutions.

The ChampionX businesses, acquired in July 2025, contributed $870 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, consisting of $606 million in North America and $234 million in the international markets.

Excluding the impact of this acquisition, second-quarter 2026 revenue decreased 5% year on year. International second-quarter 2026 revenue decreased 6% and North America second-quarter 2026 revenue decreased 1% year on year.

Forward-Looking Statements

This second-quarter 2026 earnings press release, as well as other statements we make, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts. Such statements often contain words such as “expect,” “may,” “can,” “believe,” “predict,” “plan,” “potential,” “projected,” “projections,” “precursor,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “expectations,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “ambition,” “goal,” “target,” “scheduled,” “think,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “see,” “likely,” and other similar words. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain, such as statements about our financial and performance targets and other forecasts or expectations regarding, or dependent on, our business outlook; growth for SLB as a whole and for each of its Divisions (and for specified business lines, geographic areas, or technologies within each Division); the benefits of the ChampionX acquisition, including the ability of SLB to integrate the ChampionX business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies and value creation from the acquisition; oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and natural gas prices; forecasts or expectations regarding energy transition and global climate change; improvements in operating procedures and technology; capital expenditures by SLB and the oil and gas industry; our business strategies, including digital and “fit for basin,” as well as the strategies of our customers; our capital allocation plans, including dividend plans and share repurchase programs; our APS projects, joint ventures, and other alliances; the impact of the ongoing or escalating conflicts on global energy supply; access to raw materials; future global economic and geopolitical conditions; future liquidity, including free cash flow; and future results of operations, such as margin levels. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changing global economic and geopolitical conditions; changes in exploration and production spending by our customers, and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; the results of operations and financial condition of our customers and suppliers; the inability to achieve our financial and performance targets and other forecasts and expectations; the inability to achieve our net-zero carbon emissions goals or interim emissions reduction goals; general economic, geopolitical, and business conditions in key regions of the world; foreign currency risk; inflation; changes in monetary policy by governments; tariffs; pricing pressure; weather and seasonal factors; unfavorable effects of health pandemics; availability and cost of raw materials; operational modifications, delays, or cancellations; challenges in our supply chain; production declines; the extent of future charges; the inability to recognize efficiencies and other intended benefits from our business strategies and initiatives, such as digital or new energy, as well as our cost reduction strategies; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those related to offshore oil and gas exploration, radioactive sources, explosives, chemicals, and climate-related initiatives; the inability of technology to meet new challenges in exploration; the competitiveness of alternative energy sources or product substitutes; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this press release and our most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of any such development changes), or should our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking and other statements in this press release regarding our environmental, social, and other sustainability plans and goals are not an indication that these statements are necessarily material to investors or required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking environmental, social, and sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. Statements in this press release are made as of the date of this release, and SLB disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
