Baker Hughes Company (BKR) released an investor presentation tied to a CEO appearance at the Barclays 2026 Energy-Power Conference, providing updated fiscal-year 2026 guidance and details on integrating the recently acquired Chart Industries into its portfolio.
For 2026, Baker Hughes guides to total revenue of $28.5–$30.3 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $4.875–$5.475 billion, implying a free cash flow conversion of 40–45% and an adjusted effective tax rate of 22–26%. Segment guidance includes OFSE revenue of $13.5–$14.2 billion with EBITDA of $2.3–$2.55 billion, IET revenue of $13.15–$13.85 billion with EBITDA of $2.6–$2.85 billion, and Chart revenue of $1.85–$2.25 billion with EBITDA of $300–$400 million.
The presentation outlines a strategy to use the Chart acquisition to expand in industrial and infrastructure markets, target Chart EBITDA margins of 22–23% by the second half of 2028, and capture cost and commercial synergies, with $35 million of cost synergies already executed. Baker Hughes reports record IET backlog with Remaining Performance Obligations above $45 billion and a medium-term leverage target of 1.0–1.5× by the second half of 2028, while emphasizing use of non‑GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.
Baker Hughes Company reported strong second‑quarter 2026 results, highlighted by orders of $10.5 billion, including a record $7.1 billion from Industrial & Energy Technology (IET), and Remaining Performance Obligations of $40.1 billion with record IET RPO of $37.1 billion. Revenue was $6.7 billion and net income attributable to Baker Hughes was $681 million, or $0.68 GAAP diluted EPS. Adjusted net income was $640 million, adjusted diluted EPS $0.64, and adjusted EBITDA $1.23 billion, up sequentially and year‑over‑year.
Cash flow from operating activities reached $1.35 billion and free cash flow was $1.11 billion. Segment performance was solid: Oilfield Services & Equipment delivered $3.45 billion of revenue and $605 million EBITDA, while IET generated $3.29 billion of revenue and $678 million EBITDA with a higher margin. Management cited disciplined execution, favorable demand across data center, gas infrastructure and upstream markets, and ongoing cost‑out initiatives.
Strategically, the company completed the all‑cash acquisition of Chart Industries and announced the $1.45 billion all‑cash sale of Waygate Technologies to Hexagon, advancing its portfolio management strategy and expanding capabilities in thermal management, gas handling, and industrial and energy markets. Management also raised full‑year IET order guidance and increased the Horizon 2 IET orders outlook to more than $45 billion.
Baker Hughes Company completed its acquisition of Chart Industries, merging its Tango Merger Sub into Chart, which now operates as an indirect subsidiary and a new reporting segment. Each outstanding share of Chart common stock (other than excluded and appraisal shares) was converted into the right to receive $210.00 in cash, and certain stock options and stock units were converted into cash based on this amount while higher-priced options were canceled. Baker Hughes funded the cash consideration using cash on hand, $6.5 billion and €3.0 billion of senior notes issued in March 2026 and $2.0 billion of new senior unsecured term loans under two $1.0 billion facilities, while terminating $2.6 billion of unused commitments under a prior delayed draw term loan facility.
Chart becomes a dedicated segment reflecting its scale and specialization in air and gas handling, thermal management and lifecycle services; it reported $4.3 billion of revenue in fiscal 2025 and serves customers in more than 50 countries. Baker Hughes expects the combination to enhance recurring aftermarket services and targets $325 million in annualized cost synergies within three years, supported by an integration program led by a newly appointed segment leader. Despite the additional debt, Baker Hughes states a net leverage target of 1.0–1.5x within 24 months and highlights customary representations, covenants and default provisions in the new term loan credit agreements.

Baker Hughes Company has completed major U.S. dollar and euro bond offerings to help finance its pending acquisition of Chart Industries. Through its subsidiaries, the company issued $6.5 billion of senior unsecured notes in five tranches and €3 billion of senior unsecured notes in four tranches, all fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Baker Hughes. The notes carry fixed coupons ranging from 3.226% to 5.850% and mature between 2029 and 2056. Baker Hughes plans to use the net proceeds, together with cash on hand and an existing term loan, to fund part of the cash portion of the Chart acquisition, pay related fees and expenses, and repay Chart’s outstanding debt. If the Chart acquisition is not completed, the notes are subject to a special mandatory redemption at 101% of principal, giving investors protection tied to deal completion.
Baker Hughes Company filed an 8-K providing the audited 2025 financial statements of its proposed acquisition target, Chart Industries, along with an unqualified audit opinion and clean internal control opinion from Deloitte & Touche.
Chart posted 2025 sales of $4,264.0 million, up from $4,160.3 million in 2024, with $3,275.4 million recognized over time on long-term contracts. However, net income attributable to Chart fell to $40.7 million and diluted EPS dropped to $0.30, largely due to a $266.0 million termination fee expense tied to ending a prior Flowserve merger agreement.
Chart’s balance sheet at year-end 2025 showed total assets of $9,806.4 million, total liabilities of $6,430.7 million and total equity of $3,375.7 million. Backlog, reflected as remaining performance obligations, was $5,886.2 million, with about 44% expected to convert to revenue within 12 months, highlighting substantial contracted work ahead of the planned cash merger at $210.00 per Chart share, subject to closing conditions.
