Our continued success including a substantial award to supply

demonstrates our strong position to capitalize on a powerful and
enduring growth opportunity in global power generation. Through our
power systems solutions portfolio, we sit squarely at the intersection of
lifecycle power solutions to customers across diverse industries.
As part of our portfolio management strategy, we advanced several
strategic transactions last year: the formation of a joint venture with
management and lifecycle services.
These portfolio actions continue to position Baker Hughes as an
industrialized energy solutions company, ready to deliver the radical
new outcomes required to sustain the growth in demand for energy.
Just over three years ago, we revealed our three time horizon strategy to
simplify and strengthen Baker Hughes to best deliver for our customers
and shareholders and above all, deliver resources to a world requiring
more energy with every passing year. 2025 capped Horizon One and

2025 should be remembered for the substantial progress made in
driving operational improvements, advancing our portfolio, and
delivering leading shareholder returns. With a stronger portfolio,
for your continued support.
