NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (“Schlumberger”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2021 audited financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2022.

On December 31, 2020, Schlumberger contributed its onshore hydraulic fracturing business in the United States and Canada, including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and Permian frac sand business to Liberty Energy Inc. (“Liberty”) in exchange for an equity interest in Liberty. During the first quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold 7.2 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of $84 million. During the second quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold an additional 26.5 million of its shares in Liberty and received proceeds of $429 million. As a result of these transactions Schlumberger recognized a gain of $26 million during the first quarter of 2022 and a gain of $216 million during the second quarter of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, Schlumberger had a 12% equity interest in Liberty.

During the second quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold certain real estate and received proceeds of $120 million. As a result of this transaction, Schlumberger recognized a gain of $43 million.

The estimated fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $12.1 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively.

Schlumberger has a €750 million three-year committed revolving credit facility maturing in June 2024. At June 30, 2022 no amounts had been drawn under this facility.

In addition to the revolving credit facility described above, at June 30, 2022, Schlumberger had separate committed credit facility agreements aggregating $5.75 billion with commercial banks, all of which was available and unused. These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $0.75 billion matures in February 2024, $2.0 billion matures in February 2025, $1.0 billion matures in July 2026 and $2.0 billion matures in February 2027. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by facility.

There were no borrowings under the commercial paper programs at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries, including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment SA and Schlumberger Finance Canada Ltd., both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts its business in over 120 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar.

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses cross-currency swaps to provide a hedge against these cash flow risks. Included in Other Liabilities was $266 million at June 30, 2022 ($78 million at December 31, 2021), and included in Other Assets at December 31, 2021 was $66 million relating to the fair value of outstanding cross-currency swap derivatives. The fair value was determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived or corroborated by observable data.

During 2019, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €1.5 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.00% Notes due 2024, €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.29%, 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €0.8 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €2.0 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the swapped portion of the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.49%, respectively.

During 2020, a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $0.5 billion of US dollar denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $0.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the US dollar notes to Canadian dollar denominated debt with a fixed annual interest rate of 1.73%.

During the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, Schlumberger entered into derivative contracts that hedge the price of oil relating to approximately 75% of the projected oil production for all of 2022 and a portion of the production for the first quarter of 2023 of one of its Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) projects. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in fair value of the hedge recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. At June 30, 2022, included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $71 million and included in Other current assets was $5 million relating to the fair value of the outstanding commodity contracts.

Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as are changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

At June 30, 2022, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $7.3 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $5.7 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency swaps and commodity hedges, the fair value of the other outstanding derivatives was not material at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, and those not designated as hedges, on the Consolidated Statement of Income was as follows:

9. Contingencies

Schlumberger is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

The second quarter saw a strong acceleration of revenue and earnings growth, with revenue growing 14% sequentially, driven by an increase in activity internationally, in North America, and across all Divisions.

Sequentially, all Divisions posted double-digit revenue growth—outpacing rig count growth both in North America and internationally. The quarter was also characterized by a favorable mix of exploration and offshore activity and the increasing impact of improved pricing, resulting in the largest sequential quarterly growth since 2010.

Second-quarter sequential revenue growth was broad-based, with international revenue increasing 12% and North America revenue growing 20%. The international growth was widespread across all areas with almost all of the GeoUnits experiencing revenue growth. International revenue growth was led by Europe/CIS/Africa, which experienced a 20% sequential increase. Latin America experienced sequential revenue growth of 10% while revenue in the Middle East & Asia increased 7%. In North America, the 20% sequential revenue growth was driven by a significant increase in land and offshore drilling activity and higher exploration data licensing in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Overall, second-quarter pretax segment operating income increased 30% sequentially, and pretax segment operating margin expanded sequentially by 212 basis points (“bps”) to 17.1%—the highest quarterly operating margin level since 2015. All four Divisions expanded their margins sequentially.

Despite near-term concerns over a global economic slowdown, the combination of energy security, favorable break-even prices, and the urgency to grow oil and gas production capacity is expected to continue to support strong upstream E&P spending growth. Consequently, Schlumberger expects a decoupling of upstream spending from near-term demand volatility, resulting in resilient global oil and gas activity growth in 2022 and beyond.

The strength of the second-quarter performance highlights Schlumberger’s ability to comprehensively participate in drilling and completion activity growth globally. The multiyear upcycle continued to gain momentum with upstream activity and service pricing steadily increasing both internationally and in North America, resulting in a strengthened outlook for Schlumberger.

Digital & Integration

Digital & Integration revenue of $955 million increased 11% sequentially primarily due to higher exploration data licensing sales, including $95 million in transfer fees.

Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 40% expanded 570 bps sequentially due to higher exploration data licensing sales in the US Gulf of Mexico and increased profitability in APS projects, particularly in Canada.

Reservoir Performance

Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.3 billion increased 10% sequentially due to higher activity on land and offshore beyond the impact of the seasonal rebound in the Northern Hemisphere, along with improved pricing.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 15% expanded 143 bps sequentially. Profitability was boosted by the seasonal recovery in the Northern Hemisphere, higher offshore and exploration activity, favorable technology mix, and improved pricing.

Well Construction

Well Construction revenue of $2.7 billion increased 12% sequentially due to higher land and offshore drilling activity both in North America and internationally, beyond the impact of the seasonal rebound in the Northern Hemisphere, in addition to improved pricing.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 18% expanded 134 bps sequentially due to improved profitability across most of its business lines, particularly in the Europe/CIS/Africa and Middle East & Asia areas. Margin expansion was due to the seasonal recovery in the Northern Hemisphere, higher offshore and exploration activity, favorable technology mix, and improved pricing.

Production Systems

Production Systems revenue of $1.9 billion increased 18% sequentially as supply chain and logistics constraints abated, facilitating increased product deliveries and backlog conversion, mostly internationally.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 9% expanded 190 bps sequentially due to improved profitability from higher sales of surface, well, and subsea production systems.

Six-month 2022 revenue of $12.7 billion increased 17% year-on-year driven by an increase in activity internationally, in North America, and across all Divisions. International revenue increased 13% and North America revenue grew 37%. International growth was widespread, led by Latin America, which increased 21% due to higher drilling and stimulation activity. Europe/CIS/Africa experienced 14% growth, while revenue in the Middle East & Asia increased 7%. In North America, the revenue growth was driven by robust onshore drilling activity and higher sales of production systems, coupled with a strong contribution from the APS project in Canada and increased exploration data licensing in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Six-month 2022 pretax segment operating margin of 16% was 258 bps higher compared to the same period last year due to improved operating leverage from higher activity, a favorable activity mix, and an improving pricing environment.

Digital & Integration

Six-month 2022 revenue of $1.8 billion increased 14% year-on-year, primarily in North America, driven by higher exploration data license sales and increased revenue from APS projects due to higher production and improved oil prices, particularly in Canada.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin expanded 425 bps to 37% primarily due to the higher revenue from exploration data licenses and improved profitability from APS projects.

Reservoir Performance

Six-month 2022 revenue of $2.5 billion increased 20% year-on-year driven by strong international activity led by Latin America and the Middle East & Asia. Double-digit growth was posted in intervention, evaluation, and stimulation services both on land and offshore, with higher exploration-related activity and improved pricing.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased by 178 bps to 14% due to improved profitability in evaluation and intervention activity.

Well Construction

Six-month 2022 revenue of $5.1 billion grew 26% year-on-year with growth across all areas, led by North America and Latin America which grew 57% and 45%, respectively. Double-digit growth was recorded in drilling fluids, measurements, and integrated drilling—both on higher land and offshore activity—along with improved pricing.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 497 bps to 17% driven by higher activity and improved pricing.

Production Systems

Six-month 2022 revenue of $3.5 billion increased 7% primarily driven by new projects and increased sales activity mainly in Europe/CIS/Africa, North America, and Latin America. Double-digit growth was posted in subsea and midstream production systems.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 131 bps to 8% due to reduced profitability in midstream and well production systems largely as a result of higher logistics costs and less favorable revenue mix.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 15.8%, as compared to 18.4% for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the credits described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These credits reduced the effective tax rate during the second quarter by three percentage points.

The effective tax rate for the six months of 2022 was 16.8%, as compared to 18.6% for the same period of 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the credits described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These credits reduced the effective tax rate during the first six months of 2022 by two percentage points.

^“Net debt” represents gross debt less cash and short-term investments. Management believes that Net debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger’s indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, total debt.

⁽²⁾	Includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, exploration data costs, and APS investments.

⁽³⁾	Includes severance payments of $38 million and $184 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾

“Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, APS investments and exploration data costs capitalized. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash. Once business needs and obligations are met, this cash can be used to reinvest in the company for future growth or to return to shareholders through dividend payments or share repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations.

Key liquidity events during the first six months of 2022 and 2021 included:

•

Capital investments (consisting of capital expenditures, APS investments and exploration data capitalized) were $1.0 billion during the first six months of 2022 compared to $0.6 billion during the first six months of 2021. Capital investments during the full year of 2022 are expected to be approximately $2 billion as compared to $1.7 billion for the full year 2021.

•

During the first six months of 2022 working capital consumed $1.9 billion of liquidity as compared to $758 million during the same period of 2021. The year-on-year increase in working capital consumption was primarily driven by an increase in receivables due to the significant revenue growth. Inventory also increased as lead times were managed in anticipation of continued growth in the second half of the year.

•	During the first six months of 2022, Schlumberger sold 33.8 million of its shares in Liberty and received proceeds of $513 million.

•	During the second quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold certain real estate and received proceeds of $120 million.

•

On January 21, 2016, the Board approved a $10 billion share repurchase program for Schlumberger common stock. Schlumberger had repurchased $1.0 billion of Schlumberger common stock under this program as of June 30, 2022. Schlumberger did not repurchase any of its common stock during the first six months of 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, Schlumberger had $2.82 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Schlumberger had committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.54 billion, all of which was available and unused. Schlumberger believes these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

There were no borrowings under the commercial paper programs at June 30, 2022.

In April 2022, Schlumberger announced a 40% increase to its quarterly cash dividend from $0.125 per share of outstanding common stock to $0.175 per share.

Schlumberger maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to record accounts receivable at their net realizable value. Judgment is involved in recording and making adjustments to this reserve. Allowances have been recorded for receivables believed to be uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other collection issues such as disputed invoices. Adjustments to the allowance may be required in future periods depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial condition of Schlumberger’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments. As a large multinational company with a long history of operating in a cyclical industry, Schlumberger has extensive experience in working with its customers during difficult times to manage its accounts receivable.

Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries. As of June 30, 2022, only four of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s net receivable balance, of which only the United States accounted for greater than 10% of such receivables.

Additional Information

In March 2022, Schlumberger decided to immediately suspend new investment and technology deployment to its Russia operations.

Russia represented approximately 5% of Schlumberger’s worldwide revenue during the first six months of 2022. The carrying value of Schlumberger’s net assets in Russia was approximately $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2022. This consisted of $0.4 billion of receivables, $0.5 billion of other current assets, $0.4 billion of fixed assets, $0.1 billion of other non-current assets and $0.4 billion of current liabilities.

Schlumberger continues to actively monitor the dynamic situation in Ukraine and comply with applicable international laws and sanctions. The extent to which Schlumberger’s operations and financial results may be affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine will depend on various factors, including the extent and duration of the conflict; the effects of the conflict on regional and global economic and geopolitical conditions; the effect of further international sanctions and trade control restrictions on Schlumberger’s business, the global economy and global supply chains; and the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the ruble. Continuation or escalation of the conflict may also aggravate the risk factors that Schlumberger identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, including cybersecurity risks.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Schlumberger has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of Schlumberger’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of Schlumberger’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Schlumberger files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting.

In 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”).

Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during the second quarter of 2022 consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges.
