'First-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was slightly up year on year despite softer revenue as we continued to navigate the evolving market dynamics,' said SLB Chief Executive Officer, Olivier Le Peuch.
Article content
Article content
'It was a subdued start to the year as revenue declined 3% year on year. Higher activity in parts of the Middle East, North Africa, Argentina and offshore U.S., along with strong growth in our data center infrastructure solutions and digital businesses in North America, were more than offset by a sharper-than-expected slowdown in Mexico, a slow start to the year in Saudi Arabia and offshore Africa, and steep decline in Russia.
Article content
'The expansion of our accretive margin digital business and the strength of our Production Systems division, combined with our cost reduction initiatives, have driven another consecutive quarter of year-on-year adjusted EBITDA margin growth.
Article content
'These results demonstrate SLB's resilience in changing market conditions. We are continuously exercising cost discipline and aligning our resources with activity levels, leveraging our global reach and industry-leading innovation capabilities, expanding our differentiated digital offerings, and strategically diversifying the portfolio beyond oil and gas,' Le Peuch said.
Article content
'In the Core, we continue to see rising demand for production solutions as customers seek to offset declines and maintain or grow production from maturing assets. This is an area that will continue to present strong opportunities for SLB. As a result, Production Systems revenue grew 4% and expanded pretax operating margins by 197 bps year on year, with strong demand for surface production systems, completions, and artificial lift. In addition, Reservoir Performance was supported by strong international unconventional stimulation and intervention activity although it was offset by lower evaluation activity.
Article content
'Overall, the combined revenue of the Core divisions was down 4% year on year, as growth in Production Systems was more than offset by declines in Reservoir Performance and Well Construction. Despite the year-on-year decline, our diversified portfolio and broad market position helped to offset lower rig activity,' Le Peuch said.
