NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of SLB Limited and its subsidiaries (“SLB”) 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 SLB 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 three-month period ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. The December 31, 2025 balance sheet information has been derived from the SLB 2025 audited financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the SLB Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2026.

2. Charges and Credits

2026

SLB offered a lump sum payment in lieu of receiving an annuity to former employees and pensioners who were participants in its International Staff Pension Plan. This pension plan paid approximately $0.9 billion from its plan assets to those who accepted the offer, thereby reducing its benefit obligation. This transaction had no cash impact on SLB, but did result in a non-cash pension settlement charge of $187 million during the third quarter of 2026. This settlement charge represented the immediate recognition of the related deferred actuarial losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and is classified in Restructuring & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

SLB recorded charges of $41 million, $69 million and $55 million during the first, second and third quarters of 2026, respectively, in connection with the July 2025 acquisition of ChampionX Corporation ("ChampionX") (see Note 4 - Acquisition). These costs are classified in Merger & integration in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

4. Acquisition

On July 16, 2025, SLB acquired all of the outstanding shares of ChampionX in an all-stock transaction. ChampionX is a global leader in production chemistry solutions, artificial lift systems, and highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely, effectively, and sustainably across the world. The acquisition strengthens SLB's leadership in the production and recovery space. Under the terms of the agreement, ChampionX shareholders received 0.735 shares of SLB common stock in exchange for each ChampionX share.

Businesses acquired from ChampionX contributed revenue of approximately $0.6 billion and pretax operating income of approximately $0.1 billion to SLB for the period from August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025.

Excluding its Drilling Technologies business, which was disposed of concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, ChampionX recorded revenue of approximately $2.0 billion during the period of January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025. The proforma impact of this acquisition on net income attributable to SLB and diluted earnings per share was not material.

The estimated fair value of SLB’s Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $10.4 billion and $9.4 billion, respectively.

At September 30, 2026, SLB had committed credit facility agreements with commercial banks aggregating $5.0 billion, of which $2.0 billion matures in February 2029 and $3.0 billion matures in December 2030. These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe. There were no borrowings under these facilities at September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt to the extent they are backed up by available and unused committed credit facilities maturing in more than one year and to the extent it is SLB’s intent to maintain these obligations for longer than one year. There were no borrowings under the commercial paper programs at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

SLB Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the publicly-held debt securities issued by Schlumberger Investment S.A., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SLB Limited.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

SLB’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of SLB’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which SLB conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease).

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates expose SLB to risks on future cash flows relating to its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. SLB uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to provide a hedge against these risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the fair value of the derivative 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.

Details regarding SLB’s outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2026, were as follows:

•

During 2019, SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031 that were issued by a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.

•

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the US dollar 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 interest rate 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 SLB issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the US dollar 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 interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.49%, respectively.

A summary of the amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet relating to cross-currency interest rate swaps was as follows:


	(Stated in millions)

	Sept. 30, 2026		Dec. 31, 2025
Other current assets	$	49	$	93
Other Assets	$	54	$	110
Other Liabilities	$	12	$	6

The fair values were determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived or corroborated by observable data.

SLB 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. SLB 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.

SLB is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While SLB 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 derivative 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.

Foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $5.8 billion and $6.3 billion in various foreign currencies as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivatives was not material as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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:

11. Contingencies

SLB 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.

Third-quarter 2026 revenue of $9.4 billion increased 5% compared to the second quarter of 2026 with all geographic areas growing sequentially — led by a gradual recovery in the Middle East, growth in North America land and broadening international activity in deepwater offshore basins.

In the Middle East, revenue grew 13% sequentially despite late-quarter disruptions. Outside the region, growth was supported by higher activity in U.S. Land, highlighted by ChampionX achieving its highest quarterly revenue since the acquisition in July 2025.

Energy security and supply shocks continue to drive a quest for international supply diversification, reserve replacement and sustained production — driving a distinct upcycle, despite near-term uncertainty in the Middle East.

SLB's international outlook continues to strengthen, driven by deepwater momentum across Latin America, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, underscored by recent SLB OneSubsea contract awards. Furthermore, international diversification is accelerating as major U.S. shale operators expand abroad and partner with national oil companies across global basins.

Digital

Digital revenue of $693 million decreased 1% sequentially, primarily reflecting a $48 million decrease in Digital Exploration revenue following strong sales of exploration data licenses and transfer fees in Brazil and Indonesia in the prior quarter. This decline was largely offset by higher Platforms & Applications sales and continued growth in Digital Operations.

Digital pretax operating margin of 28% increased 27 basis points (bps) sequentially, primarily due to improved profitability in Platforms & Applications and Digital Operations, partially offset by lower profitability in Digital Exploration following reduced sales of exploration data licenses and transfer fees.

Reservoir Performance

Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.6 billion increased 5% sequentially, driven by higher intervention, evaluation and stimulation services, particularly in the Middle East.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 16% increased 140 bps sequentially, driven by improved profitability in the Middle East as operations recovered, particularly across evaluation, stimulation and intervention services.

Well Construction

Well Construction revenue of $2.9 billion increased 5% sequentially, driven by higher drilling activity in the Middle East, led by strong drilling fluids sales and increased drilling measurements activity.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 16% increased 122 bps sequentially, driven primarily by improved profitability in the Middle East as operations recovered during the quarter.

Production Systems

Production Systems revenue of $4.0 billion increased 6% sequentially, driven by higher sales of completions, production chemicals and artificial lift in the Middle East, as well as stronger SLB OneSubsea revenue in Europe & Africa.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 16%, increased 60 bps sequentially driven by improved profitability in SLB OneSubsea, artificial lift, completions and production chemicals, supported by the recovery in Middle East operations.

All Other

All Other revenue of $544 million increased $39 million sequentially driven by strong growth in Data Center Solutions, where revenue increased 23% or $44 million.

All Other pretax operating income of $136 million decreased $6 million sequentially as ramp-up costs associated with new Data Center Solutions projects impacted profitability.

Charges and credits are described in detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nine-month 2026 revenue of $27.1 billion increased 5% or $1.2 billion year on year. Excluding the impact of the ChampionX acquisition in the third quarter last year, revenue declined year on year by 4% or $0.9 billion. This decrease was largely attributable to a 16%, or $1.1 billion, decline in revenue in the Middle East due to operational disruptions related to the conflict in the region.

Digital

Digital revenue of $2.0 billion increased 11%, or $194 million, year on year driven by a $152 million increase in Digital Operations and $53 million of higher sales of exploration data licenses and transfer fees.

Digital pretax operating margin of 26% increased 41 bps year on year driven by higher Digital Exploration sales and improved profitability in Digital Operations.

Reservoir Performance

Reservoir Performance revenue of $4.8 billion decreased 6% year on year due to lower stimulation and intervention activity, primarily driven by operational disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 16% contracted 212 bps year on year primarily due to the operational disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict.

Well Construction

Well Construction revenue of $8.4 billion decreased 5% year on year primarily due to lower activity resulting from the Middle East conflict.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 16% contracted 346 bps year on year primarily due to lower profitability as a result of the Middle East conflict compounded by pricing headwinds in select markets.

Production Systems

Production Systems revenue of $11.3 billion increased 22% year on year from the acquired ChampionX production chemicals and artificial lift businesses. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, Production Systems revenue for the first nine months of 2026 was essentially flat year on year as the decline in the Middle East was offset by growth in other regions.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 15% decreased 111 bps year on year primarily due to lower profitability in surface production systems, SLB OneSubsea and completions.

All Other

All Other revenue of $1.5 billion decreased $50 million year on year. The absence of $215 million in APS revenue following the divestiture of the Palliser asset in Canada in the second quarter of 2025 was offset by a $226 million increase in Data Center Solutions revenue. The remaining decrease was primarily attributable to reduced revenue in SLB Capturi.

All Other pretax operating income of $391 million decreased $23 million due to lower profitability in APS projects following the Palliser divestiture partially offset by higher profitability in Data Center Solutions as a result of the higher revenue.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $377 million for the first nine months of 2026 decreased by $55 million as compared to the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower average outstanding commercial paper borrowings in the first nine months of 2026 as compared to the same period of 2025.

Interest & Other Income

Interest & other income consisted of the following:


(Stated in millions)

	Third Quarter		Second Quarter		Nine Months
	2026		2026		2026		2025
Earnings of equity method investments	$	43	$	48	$	80	$	155

Gain on sale of Palliser APS project		-		-		-		149
	$	68	$	76	$	187	$	408

The decrease in earnings of equity method investments for the first nine months of 2026 as compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily associated with equity investments in rig-related businesses.

Other

Research & engineering and General & administrative expenses, as a percentage of Revenue were as follows:


	Third			Second
	Quarter			Quarter			Nine Months
	2026			2026			2026			2025
Research & engineering		1.7	%		1.9	%		1.8	%		2.0	%
General & administrative		0.9	%		0.9	%		1.0	%		1.0	%

The effective tax rate was 23% for the third quarter of 2026 as compared to 20% for the second quarter of 2026. The increase in the

effective tax rate was primarily due to the $187 million pension settlement charge recorded during the third quarter of 2026, described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is not tax deductible. The effective tax rate for both the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 was 21%.

(1)

“Net debt” represents gross debt less cash and short-term investments. Management believes that net debt provides useful information to investors and management regarding the level of SLB’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 fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, exploration data costs, and APS investments.

(3)

“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 nine months of 2026 and 2025 included:

•

Capital investments (consisting of capital expenditures, APS investments and exploration data costs capitalized) were $1.8 billion during the first nine months of 2026 compared to $1.7 billion during the first nine months of 2025. Capital investments for the full year 2026 are expected to be approximately $2.5 billion.

•

In January 2026, SLB announced a 3.5% increase to its quarterly cash dividend from $0.285 per share of outstanding common stock to $0.295 per share, beginning with the dividend payable in April 2026. Dividends paid during the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 were $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

•

During the second quarter of 2026, SLB issued $500 million of 4.55% Senior Notes due 2031, $500 million of 4.80% Senior Notes due 2033, and $1.0 billion of 5.15% Senior Notes due 2036.

•

As of September 30, 2026, SLB had cumulatively repurchased approximately $7.6 billion of SLB common stock under its $10 billion share repurchase program.

The following table summarizes the activity under the share repurchase program:


(Stated in millions, except per share amounts)

	Total cost		Total number		Average price
	of shares		of shares		paid per
	purchased		purchased		share
Nine months ended September 30, 2026	$	1,755		34.0	$	51.57
Nine months ended September 30, 2025	$	2,414		60.0	$	40.23

•

During the third quarter of 2025, SLB repaid its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025.

•

During the third quarter of 2025, SLB fully repaid all the $0.6 billion of debt assumed in connection with the acquisition of ChampionX.

•

During the third quarter of 2025 and concurrent with the close of the ChampionX acquisition, the ChampionX Drilling Technologies business was disposed of and SLB received $286 million of proceeds.

•

During the second quarter of 2025, SLB completed the sale of its interest in the Palliser APS project in Canada in exchange for net cash proceeds of $338 million, of which $22 million were received in the third quarter of 2025.

As of September 30, 2026, SLB had $3.6 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand and committed debt facility agreements with commercial banks aggregating $5.0 billion, all of which was available. SLB believes these amounts, along with cash generated by ongoing operations, are sufficient to meet future business requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.

SLB has a global footprint in more than 100 countries. As of September 30, 2026, only three of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of SLB’s net receivable balance. Only one of those countries, the United States, represented greater than 10% of such receivables.

On August 31, 2026, SLB announced that it signed an agreement to acquire Kelvion, a global provider of thermal management and heat exchange technologies. The acquisition strengthens SLB’s Data Center Solutions business with critical thermal management technologies and expands SLB's role in data center infrastructure, which is one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial and technology markets. Under the terms of the agreement, SLB will acquire Kelvion for approximately $3.4 billion in cash and will assume approximately $0.7 billion of debt. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first half of 2027.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Our mining operations are subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this report.

Item 5. Other Information.

In 2013, SLB 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”).

SLB’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during the third quarter of 2026 consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of SLB maintain depository accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”), and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran and in Kish for the deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of SLB for prior services rendered in Iran and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received. One non-US subsidiary also maintained an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes. SLB anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all amounts owed to SLB for prior services rendered in Iran.
