Strong Fourth-Quarter Performance as Global Activity Stabilizes

“SLB concluded the year with very strong fourth-quarter results driven by Production Systems, Digital and Reservoir Performance,” said SLB Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch.

“Fourth-quarter revenue increased sequentially across all four geographies for the first time since the second quarter of 2024, reflecting stabilized global upstream activity. We saw revenue growth both in North America and international markets, further supported by an additional month of ChampionX revenue. Strong year-end product and digital sales in Latin America, the Middle East & Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and offshore North America also contributed to this performance.

“Although 2025 presented a challenging backdrop for the industry — with lower commodity prices, geopolitical uncertainty and an oversupplied oil market — we continued to build resilience across our portfolio by accelerating our strategy. This included a growing emphasis on production and recovery, increased deployment of AI solutions, and the rapid expansion of our Data Center Solutions business.

“For the full year, lower upstream spending resulted in modest declines in revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin. Nevertheless, we delivered strong cash flow performance, generating $6.5 billion of cash flow from operations and $4.1 billion of free cash flow, enabling us to return $4.0 billion to shareholders. The addition of ChampionX activity and growth in the Digital and Data Center Solutions businesses mostly offset notable revenue declines in Saudi Arabia, Mexico and across Sub-Saharan Africa.

“As we move into 2026, we believe that the headwinds we experienced in key regions in 2025 are behind us. In particular, we expect rig activity in the Middle East to increase compared to today’s level, and our footprint in the region puts us in a strong position to benefit from this recovery,” Le Peuch said.

Industry is Prioritizing Production and Recovery

“As economics remain challenged, production and recovery activity is becoming a strategic priority for our customers in order to unlock incremental barrels at the lowest cost. This is translating into higher demand particularly for intervention services, artificial lift, production chemicals and SLB OneSubsea™.

“We have already benefited from the strategic addition of ChampionX, which contributed $1.5 billion in revenue with accretive margins for the Production Systems Division and the Core since the closing of the acquisition in July 2025. We expect the positive impact of ChampionX to continue to accelerate in 2026 as we capture further synergies and extend its leading capabilities into additional international markets,” Le Peuch said.

Digital and Data Center Solutions Creating Pathways for Growth

“Digital revenue increased 9% on a full-year basis with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 35% driven by significant uptake in Digital Operations as well as steady growth in Platforms & Applications as customers continued to invest in AI and automated solutions to improve performance and efficiency. As these solutions become increasingly intertwined with our customers’ operations, we were proud to see our Digital annualized recurring revenue (ARR) exceed $1 billion at the end of the fourth quarter which increased 15% year on year.

“Meanwhile, our Data Center Solutions business grew 121% year on year. This business is expanding rapidly as we strengthen strategic partnerships with hyperscalers to deliver modular data center manufacturing solutions.

“We expect that Data Center Solutions will be our fastest growing business for years to come, and Digital will continue to grow at highly accretive margins. Both present differentiated growth opportunities for SLB in 2026 and beyond,” said Le Peuch.

Returns to Shareholders to Exceed $4 Billion in 2026

“SLB has consistently proven that the unique strengths of our portfolio enable us to create differentiated value and generate significant cash flow in varied market conditions.

“As we move through the year, we anticipate that activity will gradually improve in the key markets where we operate, giving us the confidence that we will generate strong cash flows, once again, in 2026.

“Aligned with our clear priority to create value for investors, we are committed to returning more than $4 billion to shareholders in 2026 through dividends and share repurchases, and we are starting the year with an increase of 3.5% to our quarterly dividend as approved by our Board of Directors,” Le Peuch concluded.

Other Events

For the full year of 2025, SLB repurchased a total of 60 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $2.41 billion.

On January 22, 2026, SLB’s Board of Directors approved a 3.5% increase in quarterly cash dividend from $0.285 per share of outstanding common stock to $0.295 per share, beginning with the dividend payable on April 2, 2026, to stockholders of record on February 11, 2026.

Fourth-Quarter Revenue by Geographical Area

Fourth-quarter revenue of $9.75 billion increased 9% sequentially with international revenue increasing 8% and North America revenue increasing 15%. These results reflect a full quarter of activity from the acquired ChampionX businesses, which contributed $879 million of revenue, consisting of $583 million in North America and $266 million in the international markets. Third-quarter 2025 revenue reflects two months of activity from ChampionX, which contributed revenue of $579 million, consisting of $387 million in North America and $171 million in the international markets.

Excluding the impact of this acquisition, international fourth-quarter 2025 revenue increased 7% and North America fourth-quarter 2025 revenue increased 6% sequentially. Fourth-quarter revenue increased sequentially across all geographical areas for the first time since the second quarter of 2024 as global upstream markets have stabilized. Organic sequential revenue growth both in North America and in the international markets was driven by higher offshore activity and strong year-end product and digital sales, most notably in Latin America, the Middle East & Asia, across Sub-Saharan Africa and in the Gulf of America.
