Our portfolio remains essential to meeting the world’s growing energy and industrial needs, and we have sharpened our focus on the increasingly positive opportunities that lie ahead. Like many companies, we continued to navigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, broader supply chain challenges, and dynamic commodity prices in 2021. At the same time, we remained committed to our strategy and our vision, enabling us to deliver improved performance, stronger returns, and more efficient operations. I am extremely proud of the entire Baker Hughes team for achieving strong results during what was another challenging year. Turning to the near-term, we see a positive outlook for the oil and gas markets over the next few years. As major economies fully re-open, we expect continued tightness in global commodity markets as hydrocarbon demand increases and oil and gas producers maintain their capital discipline. We believe this will provide an attractive investment environment for our customers and a strong tailwind for many of our product companies. Looking longer-term, the world faces the dual challenge of meeting increasing energy demand, while simultaneously reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions. While we still believe that hydrocarbons will remain an important part of the energy mix, the energy transition remains crucial for a low to zero carbon world. Baker Hughes can play a role in addressing this dual challenge through our leading portfolio of technologies and solutions. During 2021, we sharpened our focus on key growth areas, accelerating our partnerships and collaborations with our global customers, and deploying capital to strengthen our position as a leading energy technology company for 2022 and beyond. Our 2021 performance Baker Hughes delivered strong operational results throughout 2021. During the year we grew orders, revenues, margins, and free cash flow when compared to the full year 2020. We booked $21.7 billion of orders, increased our adjusted operating income* by 52%, and generated $1.8 billion in free cash flow* — our strongest free cash flow year as a combined company. In OFS, we continued to drive digital transformation through remote operations with customers in multiple regions. The business delivered its largest remote operations solution in Baker Hughes’ history, deploying digital technology across Aramco’s entire drilling operation encompassing more than 200 sites. With higher commodity prices compared to 2020, OFS also saw activity levels increase over the course of 2021. Despite global supply chain constraints and weather-related incidents, the business continued to grow margin rates through cost reductions and efficiency initiatives. While we were pleased with the progress in OFS margin rates in 2021, we still have work to do, and remain focused on achieving 20% EBITDA margin rates by the end of 2022. In OFE, the offshore environment continued to be challenging. The business primarily focused on right- sizing operations and providing differentiated offerings to customers. We completed the merger of the Subsea Drilling Systems product line with Akastor’s MHWirth business to form HMH, a new global offshore drilling equipment company. OFE also generated continued commercial interest in its non-metallic and flexible pipe systems technologies, securing key contracts with customers, including Petrobras. TPS continued to operate at a high level. TPS provides turbomachinery technologies and solutions for natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), clean, integrated power, and industrial applications. TPS secured several major LNG orders throughout the year, including Nigeria LNG’s Train 7 and Woodside’s Pluto LNG Train 2 in Australia. TPS also secured the majority of our new energy orders in 2021, including equipment orders for the Santos Moomba CCUS project in Australia, and the Air Products NEOM hydrogen project in Saudi Arabia. Our market outlook on LNG — as well as natural gas — continues to be increasingly positive, and the strength of our broad TPS portfolio provides us with multiple growth opportunities into the future. In DS, our portfolio offers a broad suite of technologies to drive industrial asset management and emissions management leadership across multiple industries. Operationally, we experienced challenges throughout 2021 as supply chain constraints led to lower revenue conversion. *Adjusted operating income and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Please see the reconciliation at the end of this document entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.” 2021 Annual ReportOur product companies $6.4B Turbomachinery and Process Solutions (TPS) $2.1B Digital Solutions (DS) 2021 Revenue $9.5B Oilfield Services (OFS) $2.5B Oilfield Equipment (OFE) We are implementing changes to improve operating margins and to enable DS to grow and improve returns for shareholders. Despite the headwinds, DS took an important step to strengthen its industrial asset management capabilities with the acquisition of ARMS Reliability to enhance the Bently Nevada product line. DS will also benefit from our recent investment and alliance with Augury, an industrial machine health provider, to extend our reach to balance-of-plant equipment. In 2021, Baker Hughes remained committed to returning cash to shareholders and maintaining a peer-leading capital allocation strategy. Our strong cash flow profile allowed us to return almost $1.2 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks in 2021, while simultaneously making multiple acquisitions and investments in the industrial and new energy spaces. Accelerating our strategy As the tailwinds around energy transition intensify, we are taking steps to accelerate our strategy to fully capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead, drive increased shareholder value, and build a world- class energy technology company. Our strategy remains aligned with our purpose of taking energy forward. In 2021, we demonstrated strong progress, differentiated our offerings, and solidified our leading position to capitalize on the growing commercial opportunities in new energy and industrial areas. The push for a net-zero world continues to intensify. We provide proven technologies to help our customers as they progress towards their own net- zero objectives. In 2021, we saw the first wave of commercial success from our energy transition efforts, generating approximately $250 million in new energy orders, primarily in hydrogen and CCUS applications. We remain confident in our ability to grow this business significantly over the next decade. To further support our energy transition strategy, we began to align the company across two broad business areas: Oilfield Services and Equipment (OFSE) and Industrial Energy Technology (IET). These two business areas have differing growth trajectories that will require unique approaches to operations and capital allocation. We believe that focusing on these two business areas will better position the company Our strategic pillars Baker Hughes established our three strategic pillars in 2020, and we took steps to accelerate our progress in these areas in 2021. Transforming the core represents our focus on improving margins, free cash flow, and returns across our businesses. We continued to make progress on this initiative in 2021 through continued cost improvements, portfolio rationalization, rooftop consolidation, remote operations, and new business models. Many of the initiatives that started in 2020 continued to pay off in 2021, particularly in OFS and OFE, which both saw solid margin rate improvement despite volume challenges. Investing for growth remains focused on driving organic and inorganic growth in high potential segments where we have a strong position. In 2021, we acquired ARMS Reliability and made an investment in Augury, which combined with our Bently Nevada business, will advance our Industrial Asset Management capabilities. Positioning for new energy frontiers was a significant strategic focus in 2021, leading to multiple collaborations, investments, and pronounced commercial successes. We achieved commercial successes and executed several transactions in the areas of hydrogen, CCUS, and clean, integrated power. As we position Baker Hughes to be a leader in new energy frontiers, we strongly believe that collaboration is needed, and the partnerships we forged throughout the year are positioning the company to lead in the energy transition. Our collaborations are helping to accelerate new energy economies, forming the basis for new and differentiated revenue streams for Baker Hughes.. by enhancing our flexibility, improving commercial and operational execution, and providing long-term optionality. The OFSE side of Baker Hughes is a leading global enterprise comprised of our OFS and OFE product companies. It is positioned to benefit from cyclical growth in the coming years, and its core strengths include drilling services, flexible pipe, artificial lift, and chemicals. We have a strong leadership team in place and a world-class technology portfolio, which will support customers as they continue to invest during what is expected to be a multi-year recovery. The IET side of Baker Hughes is comprised of our TPS and DS product companies. We view IET as a significant growth opportunity for Baker Hughes, specifically in areas including hydrogen, CCUS, and industrial asset management. IET represents a strong foundation to build an even more comprehensive presence in the broader industrial markets, and we are taking steps to prepare for future growth. Additionally, we formed the Climate Technology Solutions (CTS) and the Industrial Asset Management (IAM) groups to bring together our capabilities and provide structure for our growth initiatives. These groups represent an intensified commercial and strategic focus on these key growth areas. CTS encompasses CCUS, hydrogen, emissions management, and clean, integrated power solutions. These solutions are already primarily housed in TPS, using proven technologies that can now be scaled and better positioned to meet our customers’ increasing need to lower the emissions from their own operations. 2021 Annual ReportIAM will bring together key digital capabilities, software, and hardware from across Baker Hughes. IAM will focus on accelerating the commercial development of solutions-based offerings to support customers’ digital transformations through increased efficiencies, improved performance, and reduced emissions. This includes our partnership with C3 AI, known as BakerHughesC3.ai (BHC3), Bently Nevada condition monitoring, ARMS Reliability, and Augury Alliance teams, among others.

Baker Hughes is one of the leaders in the energy sector, and we are pleased to maintain our AA ESG rating by MSCI. People To lead in the energy transition, we know we must retain and develop a globally skilled and diverse workforce. The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused us to rethink how we approach flexible work and support our people. In 2021, we focused on strengthening our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Led by our Global DEI Council, we improved our talent acquisition processes, enhanced our employee resource groups, and increased our outreach to diverse organizations. In the US, we launched a new educational partnership with four historically black colleges and universities. We also worked to make our community outreach programs more global, more strategic, and more inclusive. We increased our giving in the strategic areas of environment, education and opportunity, and health and safety in multiple regions. I am particularly proud of our giving, fundraising, and volunteer work to provide relief to global communities during the pandemic – providing medical supplies and humanitarian relief as well as expanding equitable access to vaccines around the world in partnership with UNICEF. Looking forward, we see our human capital strategy as core to embracing a just energy transition for our people and the communities where we operate. You can read more in the expanded Human Capital section of our Form 10-K. *2020 actual compared to 2019 base year Planet We have made great progress on improving our environmental performance and mobilizing our workforce to reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward our goal of net-zero by 2050. In 2021 we reported a 15% reduction* in our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, and progress on many of our other environmental priorities. We are also a signatory of the Methane Guiding Principles that commit us to reduce methane emissions, which has become closer to reality following agreements made at COP26. Principles Safety, health, integrity, compliance, and human rights are foundational elements of our culture. We continue to be guided by our values and our governance structure. Our disciplined approach to occupational safety, health, and emergency management helped us to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, while implementing robust vaccination and return- to-work programs. I am proud Baker Hughes acts with integrity through maintaining ethical supply chains and promoting respect for fundamental human rights. In 2021, we accelerated our strategy, maintained a strong balance sheet, executed for our customers, and delivered clear value to our stakeholders. I want to thank our customers, employees, and shareholders for their support. Our results and the actions we are taking position us for continued growth in 2022 and beyond, as we help to build a more prosperous and sustainable world. I look forward to another year of taking energy forward. Sincerely, 2021 Annual ReportOur leadership Lorenzo Simonelli Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Board of directors W.

BUSINESS PART I Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes", "the Company", "we", "us", or "our") is an energy technology company with a diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. We conduct business in more than 120 countries. The Company was formed in July 2017 as the result of a combination between Baker Hughes Incorporated ("BHI") and the oil and gas business ("GE O&G") of General Electric Company ("GE") ("the Transactions"). As a result of the Transactions, substantially all of the business of GE O&G and of BHI was transferred to a subsidiary of the Company, Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("BHH LLC"). In 2020, GE launched a program to fully divest of its ownership in Baker Hughes over approximately three years. As of December 31, 2021, GE's economic interest in BHH LLC was 11.4%. On December 7, 2021, the Company transferred the listing of its Class A common stock from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. OUR VISION & STRATEGY With the breadth of our portfolio, leading technology, and unique partnership models, we are positioned to deliver outcome-based solutions across the industry. By integrating health, safety & environment ("HSE") into everything we do, we protect our people, our customers, and the environment. The oil and gas macroeconomic environment continues to be dynamic. We believe the world’s reliance on hydrocarbons will not disappear, and oil and gas will continue to remain relevant in meeting global energy demand. At the same time, the transition to new energy sources is accelerating. We believe the industry is going through a transformation that requires a change in how we work. Irrespective of commodity prices, our customers are focused on reducing both capital and operating expenditures. Our customers expect new models and solutions to deliver sustainable productivity improvements and leverage economies of scale, with a lower carbon footprint. That is why our strategy is focused on improving our core competitiveness and delivering higher-productivity solutions today, while positioning for the energy transition. Our strategy is based on three key pillars: • • • Transform the core: We are transforming our current business to improve margins and cash flow, which we are achieving through portfolio rationalization, cost improvements, and new business models. Invest for growth: We are driving organic and inorganic growth in high potential segments where we have a strong position, including industrial power and processes, industrial asset management, non-metallics, and chemicals. Position for new energy frontiers: We are making strategic investments to drive lower carbon emissions in the energy and industrial sectors, including hydrogen, geothermal, carbon capture, utilization and storage ("CCUS"), and energy storage. We expect to benefit from our strategy in the following ways: • • Scope and scale: We have global presence and a broad, diversified portfolio. Our products, services, and expertise serve the upstream, midstream/liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, as well as broader chemical and industrial segments. We deliver through our four product companies (also referred to as "operating segments"): Oilfield Services; Oilfield Equipment; Turbomachinery & Process Solutions; and Digital Solutions as discussed below under "Products and Services," and each are among the top four providers for the majority of the product lines in the markets they serve. Technology: Our culture is built on a heritage of innovation and invention in research and development, with complementary capabilities. Technology remains a differentiator for us, and a key enabler to drive the efficiency and productivity gains our customers need. We also have a range of technologies that support our customers' efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. We remain committed to investing in our products and services to maintain our leadership position across our offerings, including $492 million research and development spend and being granted more than 2,500 patents worldwide in 2021. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 1 • • Digital capabilities: We expect to benefit from the emerging demand for artificial intelligence ("AI") based solutions as part of our customers’ digital transformation initiatives. Launched in 2019, our partnership with C3.ai, Inc. ("C3 AI") is enabling us to deliver AI that is faster, easier, and more scalable to drive outcomes for our customers. We are delivering existing technology to oil and gas customers and collaborating on new AI applications specific for oil and gas outcomes. We are also deploying C3 AI applications internally to improve operational efficiencies, specifically for inventory optimization. In addition, we have continued to invest in our industrial asset management capabilities, including the acquisition of ARMS Reliability and an investment in Augury, a machine health technology company, to support our customers’ digital transformation programs across industrial end markets. Energy transition solutions: We are positioned to support our customers' efforts to reduce their carbon footprint with a range of emissions-reduction products and services. This includes more efficient power generation and compression technology that reduces carbon emissions, including CCUS, as well as hydrogen technologies. We also have a range of inspection and sensor technologies that can monitor and help reduce flaring and emissions. In 2021, we made strategic investments in emerging energy technologies to advance CCUS and hydrogen with companies such as Ekona Power, Electrochaea, and the Hy24 Hydrogen Fund; and entered into new partnerships with Shell, Air Products, and Bloom Energy, among others. We also continue to expand our emissions management capabilities, helping customers to detect and quantify emissions more efficiently and accurately, and complementing our existing methane detection and quantification solutions available today. In 2021, we took additional steps to accelerate our strategy and to view our Company in two broad business areas: Oilfield Services & Equipment and Industrial Energy Technology. This approach aims to better position Baker Hughes for today and in the coming years. We believe that focusing on two major business areas with close alignment will enhance our flexibility, improve commercial and operational execution, and provide long-term optionality as the energy markets evolve. On the Oilfield Services & Equipment ("OFSE") side of the Company, we have a technology-leading global enterprise with core strengths in drilling services, high-end completion tools, flexible pipe, artificial lift, and production and downstream chemicals. OFSE is poised to benefit from cyclical growth in the coming years as we believe that we are in the early stages of a broad based, multi-year recovery that will be characterized by longer term investments into the core OPEC+ countries. The Industrial Energy Technology ("IET") encompasses a more closely integrated Turbomachinery & Process Solutions and Digital Solutions. Both businesses have compelling portfolios that are beginning to see significant secular growth opportunities, particularly in areas such as hydrogen and CCUS. With core competencies across a number of offerings like power generation, compression, and condition monitoring, as well as a growing presence in flow control and industrial asset management, we have a strong foundation on which to build an even more comprehensive presence in the broad industrial energy technology markets. More recently, we created the Climate Technology Solutions ("CTS") and the Industrial Asset Management ("IAM") groups to further support the strategy of the Company. CTS will include CCUS, hydrogen, emissions management, and clean and integrated power solutions. IAM will bring together key digital capabilities, software, and hardware from across the Company to help customers increase efficiencies, improve performance, and reduce emissions for their energy and industrial assets. We believe the creation of these two groups will help accelerate the speed of commercial development for solutions-based business models across our new energy and industrial asset management offerings. These actions, including the steps taken to view our Company in two broad areas, OFSE and IET, will not change our current segment reporting structure. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY We believe we have an important role to play in society as an industry leader and partner. We view environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") as a key lever to transform the performance of our Company and our industry. In January 2019, we made a commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from our operations by 50% by 2030, achieving net zero emissions by 2050. In 2020, we reset our carbon emissions reduction base year from 2012 to 2019 to account for corporate changes, new acquisitions, divestitures, and to reflect changes in methodology in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. We are investing in our portfolio of advanced technologies to assist customers with reducing their carbon footprint. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 2 We continue to make progress on emissions reductions. We reported in our 2020 Corporate Responsibility report a 15% reduction in operating greenhouse gas emissions over the prior year. This reduction was partially due to lower activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also due to efficiency and emissions reduction efforts across our global business, including facility energy efficiency and operational energy efficiency, uptake of renewable and zero-carbon energy, and emissions reduction in our vehicle fleets. We will continue to employ a broad range of emissions reduction initiatives across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, energy sourcing and generation. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Our four product companies, or operating segments, are organized based on the nature of our markets and customers and consist of similar products and services. We sell to our customers through direct and indirect channels.

CONTRACTS We conduct our business under various types of contracts in the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments, including fixed-fee or turnkey contracts, transactional agreements for products and services, and long- term aftermarket service agreements. We enjoy stable relationships with many of our customers based on long-term project contracts and master service agreements. Several of those contracts require us to commit to a fixed price based on the customer’s technical specifications with little or no relief available due to changes in circumstances. In some cases, failure to deliver products or perform services within contractual commitments may lead to liquidated damages claims. We seek to mitigate these exposures through close collaboration with our customers. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 5 We strive to negotiate the terms of our customer contracts consistent with what we consider to be industry best practices. Our customers typically indemnify us for certain claims arising from: the injury or death of their employees and often their contractors; the loss of or damage to their facility and equipment, and often that of their contractors; pollution originating from their equipment or facility; and all liabilities related to the well and subsurface operations, including loss or damage to the well or reservoir, loss of well control, fire, explosion, or any uncontrolled flow of oil or gas. Conversely, we typically indemnify our customers for certain claims arising from: the injury or death of our employees and often that of our subcontractors; the loss of or damage to our equipment; and surface pollution originating from our equipment while under our control. Where the above indemnities do not apply or are not consistent with industry best practices, we typically provide a capped indemnity for damages caused to the customer by our negligence, and include an overall limitation of liability clause. It is also our general practice to include a limitation of liability for consequential loss, including loss of profits and loss of revenue, in all customer contracts. Our indemnity structure may not protect us in every case. Certain U.S. states have enacted oil and natural gas specific anti-indemnity statutes that can void the allocation of liability agreed to in a contract. Applicable law or the negotiated terms of a customer contract may also limit indemnity obligations in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct. We sometimes contract with customers that are not the end user of our products. It is our practice to seek to obtain an indemnity from our customer for any end-user claims, but this is not always possible. Similarly, government agencies and other third parties may make claims in respect of which we are not indemnified and for which responsibility is assessed proportionate to fault. We have an established process to review any risk deviations from our standard contracting practices. The Company maintains a commercial general liability insurance policy program that covers against certain operating hazards, including product liability claims and personal injury claims, as well as certain limited environmental pollution claims for damage to a third party or its property arising out of contact with pollution for which the Company is liable; however, clean up and well control costs are not covered by such program. All of the insurance policies purchased by the Company are subject to deductible and/or self-insured retention amounts for which we are responsible for payment, specific terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. There can be no assurance that the nature and amount of Company insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities related to our business. ORDERS AND REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS Remaining performance obligations, a defined term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), are unfilled customer orders for products and product services excluding any purchase order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty, even if the likelihood of cancellation is remote based on historical experience. For product services, an amount is included for the expected life of the contract. We recognized orders of $21.7 billion, $20.7 billion and $27.0 billion in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the remaining performance obligations totaled $23.6 billion, $23.4 billion and $22.9 billion, respectively. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We engage in research and development activities directed primarily toward the development of new products, services, technology, and other solutions, as well as the improvement of existing products, services and the design of specialized products to meet specific customer needs. We continue to invest across all operating segments in products to enhance safety, develop capability, improve performance, and reduce costs aligned with our operational strategy. Through our Enterprise Technology Centers we also invest heavily in fundamental technologies such as materials, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence/machine learning and other digital technologies such as computer vision, data science, and edge computing. In OFS, we continue to invest in a range of formation evaluation capabilities as well as drilling, completions, and production hardware. In OFE, the recent focus has been to expand capability into deeper water, longer offsets and at higher pressures as well as modular designs that allow for simpler and more digitally integrated subsea systems. In TPS, we continue to invest in the energy transition with our latest generation of gas turbines for energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint such as our LM9000TM and Nova LTTM products, as well as CCUS, and hydrogen Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 6 technologies. TPS also invests in its process and safety valve business bringing new digital applications including analytics to our customers. DS continues to invest in advanced digital solutions designed to improve the efficiency, reliability, and safety of oil and gas, aerospace, energy, and broader industrial production and operations. This includes our new Orbit 60 Bently Nevada product for critical asset monitoring in turbine systems, including wind, hydro, and gas turbines. DS also invests in technologies to measure, monitor, and minimize carbon emissions. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Our technology, brands and other intellectual property ("IP") rights are important elements of our business. We rely on patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure and employee invention assignment agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. Many patents and patent applications comprise the Baker Hughes portfolio and are owned by us. Other patents and patent applications applicable to our products and services are licensed to us by GE and, in some cases, third parties. We do not consider any individual patent to be material to our business operations. BHH LLC and GE have an IP cross-license agreement ("the IP Cross-License Agreement") where GE agreed to perpetually license to BHH LLC the right to use certain intellectual property owned or controlled by GE pursuant to the terms of the IP Cross-License Agreement. BHH LLC in return, also agreed to perpetually license to GE the right to use certain intellectual property rights owned or controlled by BHH LLC pursuant to the terms of the IP Cross- License Agreement. This IP Cross-License Agreement allows both parties to have continued and permanent rights to commercially utilize certain intellectual property of the other pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The IP cross-licenses remain in place irrespective of GE's ownership level in BHH LLC. We follow a policy of seeking patent and trademark protection in numerous countries and regions throughout the world for products and methods that appear to have commercial significance. We believe that maintenance, protection and enforcement of our patents, trademarks, and related intellectual property rights is central to the conduct of our business, and aggressively pursue protection of our intellectual property rights against infringement, misappropriation, or other violation worldwide as may be necessary to protect our business. Additionally, we consider the quality and timely delivery of our products, the service we provide to our customers, and the technical knowledge and skills of our personnel to be other important components of the portfolio of capabilities and assets supporting our ability to compete. SEASONALITY Our operations can be affected by seasonal events, which can temporarily affect the delivery and performance of our products and services, and our customers' budgetary cycles. Examples of seasonal events that can impact our business are set forth below: • • • Adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, may interrupt or curtail our coastal and offshore drilling, or our customers’ operations, cause supply disruptions and result in a loss of revenue and damage to our equipment and facilities, which may or may not be insured. Other adverse weather conditions could include extreme heat in the Middle East during the summer months which may impact our operations or our customers' operations. The severity and duration of both the summer and the winter in North America can have a significant impact on activity levels. In Canada, the timing and duration of the spring thaw directly affects activity levels, which reach seasonal lows during the second quarter and build through the third and fourth quarters to a seasonal high in the first quarter. Severe weather during the winter months normally results in reduced activity levels in the North Sea and Russia generally in the first quarter and may interrupt or curtail our operations, or our customers’ operations, in those areas and result in a loss of revenue. • Many of our international oilfield customers may increase activity for certain products and services in the fourth quarter as they seek to fully utilize their annual budgets. • Our process & pipeline business in the DS segment typically experiences lower sales during the first and fourth quarters of the year due to the Northern Hemisphere winter. • Our broader DS and TPS businesses typically experience higher customer activity as a result of spending patterns in the second half of the year. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 7 RAW MATERIALS We purchase various raw materials and component parts for use in manufacturing our products and delivering our services. The principal raw materials we use include steel alloys, chromium, nickel, titanium, barite, beryllium, copper, lead, tungsten carbide, synthetic and natural diamonds, gels, sand and other proppants, printed circuit boards and other electronic components, and hydrocarbon-based chemical feed stocks. Raw materials that are essential to our business are normally readily available from multiple sources, but may be subject to price volatility. Due to COVID-19 and other macro-economic factors, the availability of electronic components has resulted in additional expediting activities, fulfillment challenges, and in some cases price increases. We have also seen price increases for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other raw materials. Our procurement teams utilize advanced planning and may enter into strategic agreements with our global suppliers to minimize price impacts and other availability challenges. We anticipate some pricing and fulfillment volatility for certain raw materials and components to continue through 2022. In addition to raw materials and component parts, we also use the products and services of metal fabricators, machine shops, foundries, forge shops, assembly operations, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, packagers, indirect material providers, and others in order to produce and deliver products to customers. These materials and services are generally available from multiple sources. HUMAN CAPITAL At Baker Hughes, our people are central contributors to our purpose of taking energy forward. As an energy technology company with operations around the world, we believe that a diverse workforce is critical to our success, and we aim to attract the best and most diverse talent to support the energy transition. We strive to be an inclusive and safe workplace, with opportunities for our employees to grow and develop in their careers, supported by learning and development opportunities, competitive compensation, benefits, health and wellness programs, and by programs that build connections between our employees and their communities. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 54,000 employees. More than 42,000 of our employees work outside the U.S. in over 85 different countries with more than 150 nationalities represented. This diversity of global perspectives makes our Company stronger, more resilient, and more responsive to our global customers. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ("DEI") We believe unique ideas and perspectives fuel innovation and our differences make us stronger. We value difference in gender, race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, cultural background, religion, veteran status, experience, and thought across the globe. We celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of each employee and believe that everyone has the right to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. In addition, we continue to focus on the hiring, retention and advancement of our global talent. As we continue to prioritize DEI, we focused on diversifying our workforce, with a particular emphasis on increasing gender representation. In 2021, the percentage of people who identify as women in our workforce, senior leadership positions, and Board of Directors, is 19%, 18%, and 33%, respectively. Specific to the U.S., 36% of Baker Hughes employees identify as people of color. To ensure we have access to and support diverse pipelines of talent across the globe while prioritizing development and retention, we have ongoing DEI annual plan meetings with our executive leadership team. These annual meetings hold leadership accountable for integrating DEI in their respective parts of the business. We have corporate memberships with respected nonprofits, such as Ally Energy, Catalyst, Disability:IN, and the Women's Energy Network, who provide partnership and guidance as we continue our efforts in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture. Our talent acquisition efforts as well as our eight global employee resource groups support the engagement and retention of diverse talent. Talent Acquisition: We have enacted a number of initiatives to support our global goal of increasing the number of diverse employees. We have conducted training on unconscious bias and launched pilot projects on blind resumes and debiasing job descriptions, interview templates, and assessments as well as expanded our talent acquisition focus to include executive search services. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 8 Employee Resource Groups ("ERG"): ERGs consist of employees who have joined together based on shared interests, characteristics, or life experiences. These groups can have a powerful influence on driving change by elevating the conversation and awareness around key issues, and engaging with the communities where we operate. This effort has helped our DEI focus and fostered closer connections between employees in communities around the world. Inclusive Culture: We have several programs and initiatives that cultivate a culture and environment where everyone feels they belong and can thrive and contribute. The Baker Hughes Global DEI Council is comprised of executives representing our businesses, functions and regions, supports the success of our DEI mission and meets quarterly to review progress and discuss ways in which to continue to advance our efforts. The DEI Community of Practice provides a forum in which leaders and HR professionals come together to collaborate, share best practices, and learn from one another. Our DEI education goals aim to provide our workforce with tools, resources, and learning opportunities focused on raising awareness, fostering inclusive behaviors, and building cultural competence. We also continue to assess and provide programs and policies that support our employees including flexible work arrangements. Compensation and Benefits We are committed to paying for performance and supporting our employees’ wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of their families, by offering flexible and competitive benefits. We regularly assess our total compensation and benefits programs through benchmarking with industry peers and local markets. A majority of our benefits are tailored by location to meet the specific needs of our people, their families, and their communities. Healthcare plans and life insurance are a core benefit of the Company and are provided in most locations. Baker Hughes offers various leaves of absence for certain quality-of-life needs, including family care and personal leaves. To assist and support new parents with balancing work and family matters, in many countries in which Baker Hughes operates, the Company provides paid maternity leaves and parental leaves, inclusive of paternity and adoption of a child. Learning and Development At Baker Hughes, allowing our employees to be the architect of their own learning is key to our success. We empower our employees to follow their passion for personal knowledge, job related skills, development, and the domain expertise needed for professional and personal growth. In alignment with this, in 2021, we launched a new pilot for our leader development community, CORE, which is a curated learning space centered around our Baker Hughes Values: Grow, Care, Collaborate & Lead, and the behaviors associated with each value. CORE involves e- learning, virtual workshops, and allows participants to lead their own sessions. Continuous learning and development is a key priority at Baker Hughes. Our leadership development programs provide learning and growth opportunities for talent to broaden leadership capability with women, new hires, and mid-level employees, and to support our work increasing female representation across the globe. As an example, Aspire is a two-year rotational leadership program for recent graduates and early-career employees to grow functional and leadership skills through challenging assignments, learning plans, and global cross-functional projects. Health, Safety, and Wellness Health and safety is at the core of our culture as we are committed to doing the right thing to protect our employees, customers, the communities where we live and work, and the environment. We take a risk-based approach with proactive and preventive programs to deliver safe, secure, and sustainable operations. We have established a stringent set of standards which meet or exceed global regulatory requirements. Our commitment to HSE starts at the highest levels of our company and is embedded throughout all layers of the organization. We encourage and empower all employees to take an active role in "owning" HSE by stopping work when conditions are unsafe and reporting observations, near misses, and stop-work events through open reporting channels. Our ambition is to make every day a Perfect HSE Day—one without injuries, accidents, or harm to the environment. In 2021, we achieved 204 Perfect HSE Days, up 2% versus 2020. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 9 Our teams are required to complete recurring training. We offer more than 250 unique HSE courses including foundational training required for all employees, workplace and job-specific training, and human-performance leadership training for managers. Our commitment to HSE goes beyond safety alone. Occupational health and wellness is a key competency managed within our HSE center of excellence. The importance of physical health, ergonomics, preventative health care, and mental wellness cannot be overstated in promoting a healthy, engaged, and productive workplace. We work with our health benefit providers and internal teams to offer employees health and wellness programs, telemedicine access, health screenings, immunizations, fitness reimbursements, and virtual wellness tools. In 2021, the mental health and emotional well-being of our employees continued to be a critical priority. We hosted numerous events with Baker Hughes leaders and external experts, further embedded mental well-being into leadership engagements, and provided resources and tools to employees. Our Employee Assistance Program ("EAP") helps employees navigate daily life to manage remote work, cope with major life events or deal with a global pandemic. The EAP gives employees and their family members direct access to professional coaches for in- the-moment counseling or referrals to community experts and extended care providers. Leading through COVID-19 We continue to monitor and respond to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and developing vaccine landscape. Since the start of the pandemic, we have taken prudent steps as a company to reduce the risk and spread of the virus. Our top priorities have remained: protecting our employees, maintaining operations, and supporting customers and communities globally. Since March 2020, our global crisis management structure has been activated to manage a coordinated pandemic response. We continue to evolve our approach in alignment with global health and safety standards and government requirements across our operations. In addition, travel has remained limited, and we continue to enhance our site safety measures, including screenings, social distancing, vaccination requirements, and face coverings. In addition, vaccine access, including onsite clinics, and education for our employees and communities has remained a critical priority. Many of our office-based employees continue to work remotely. As conditions improved in certain places, we started bringing more employees back to offices and worksites and enabled opportunities for more in-person engagements where it was safe to do so. We continue to closely monitor the situation and will adapt our protocols as needed to protect our employees and deliver for our customers, in alignment with all associated requirements. Community Involvement Baker Hughes seeks to make a positive impact in the communities where we operate around the world. Consistent with our purpose and values, we work to advance environmental quality, educational opportunities, health, and wellness. We benefit our communities through financial contributions, in-kind donations of goods and services, and volunteer projects. The Baker Hughes Foundation makes strategic philanthropic contributions, matches Baker Hughes employee charitable contributions, and awards volunteer recognition grants for outstanding employee community service. Board Oversight of Human Capital Management Our Board of Directors plays an active role in overseeing the Company's human capital management efforts. Our Human Capital and Compensation Committee provides oversight of our policies, programs, and initiatives focusing on DEI as well as pay equity, culture, talent management, succession planning, and executive compensation and benefits. Our Governance & Corporate Responsibility Committee provides oversight of employee safety, health, and wellness matters. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 10 GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION Environmental Matters We are committed to the health and safety of people, protection of the environment and compliance with environmental laws, regulations and our policies. Our past and present operations include activities that are subject to extensive domestic (including U.S. federal, state and local) and international regulations concerning, among other things, air and water quality, waste management, and land protection. Environmental regulations continue to evolve, and changes in standards of enforcement of existing regulations, as well as the enactment of new legislation, may require us and our customers to modify, supplement or replace equipment or facilities or to change or discontinue present methods of operation. Our environmental compliance expenditures and our capital costs for environmental control equipment may change accordingly. We recognize that climate change warrants meaningful action. In 2019, we announced our commitment to reduce our carbon equivalent emissions 50% by 2030 and achieve carbon equivalent net zero emissions by 2050. This goal encompasses emissions from our direct operations ("Scope 1 and 2 emissions") in alignment with the Paris Accord and the specific recommendations of the United Nations ("UN") Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5oC. In 2020, we reset our carbon emissions reduction base year for this goal from 2012 to 2019 to account for corporate changes, new acquisitions, divestitures, and to reflect changes in methodology in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. We have proactively worked to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions over the last decade through the implementation of energy-efficiency programs, operational improvements, and increased usage of renewable energy. We also continue efforts to reduce our overall environmental footprint by using materials wisely and preserving land, water, and air quality. Our sustainability commitments include our formal participation in the UN Global Compact and our commitment to the Ten Principles human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. The environmental principles include a precautionary approach to environmental challenges, initiatives to promote a greater sense of environmental responsibility and the development of environmentally friendly technologies. We have annually renewed our commitment to the UN Global Compact since joining in 2019. While we seek to embed and verify sound environmental practices throughout our business, we are, and may in the future be, involved in voluntary remediation projects at current and former properties, typically related to historical operations. On rare occasions, our remediation activities are conducted as specified by a government agency-issued consent decree or agreed order. Remediation costs at these properties are accrued using currently available facts, existing environmental permits, technology and presently enacted laws and regulations. For sites where we are primarily responsible for the remediation, our cost estimates are developed based on internal evaluations and are not discounted. We record accruals when it is probable that we will be obligated to pay amounts for environmental site evaluation, remediation or related activities, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are recorded even if significant uncertainties exist over the ultimate cost of the remediation. Ongoing environmental compliance costs, such as obtaining environmental permits, installation and maintenance of pollution control equipment and waste disposal, are expensed as incurred. The U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (known as "Superfund") imposes liability for the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. Superfund liability is imposed without regard to fault, even if the waste disposal was in compliance with laws and regulations. We have been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") at various Superfund sites, and we accrue our share, if known, of the estimated remediation costs for the site. PRPs in Superfund actions have joint and several liability and may be required to pay more than their proportional share of such costs. In some cases, it is not possible to quantify our ultimate exposure because the projects are either in the investigative or early remediation stage, or superfund allocation information is not yet available. Based upon current information, we believe that our overall compliance with environmental regulations, including remediation obligations, environmental compliance costs and capital expenditures for environmental control equipment, will not have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position because we have either established adequate reserves or our compliance cost, based on available information, is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements. Our total accrual for environmental remediation was $67 million and $78 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We continue to focus on reducing future environmental liabilities by maintaining appropriate Company standards and by improving our environmental assurance programs. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 11 Other Regulatory Matters We are subject to regulation by various U.S. federal regulatory agencies and by the applicable regulatory authorities in countries in which our products are manufactured or sold. Such regulations principally relate to the ingredients, classification, labeling, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, advertising and marketing of our products. Additionally, as a U.S. entity operating through subsidiaries in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we are subject to foreign exchange control, transfer pricing and customs laws that regulate the import and export of goods as well as the flow of funds between us and our subsidiaries. In particular, the shipment of goods, services and technology across international borders subjects us to extensive trade laws and regulations. Our import activities are governed by the unique customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. Pursuant to their laws and regulations, governments may impose economic sanctions against certain countries, persons and entities that may restrict or prohibit transactions involving such countries, persons and entities, which may limit or prevent our conduct of business in certain jurisdictions. We are also required to be in compliance with transfer pricing, securities laws and other statutes and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and other countries’ anti-corruption and anti-bribery regimes. In addition, we are subject to laws relating to data privacy and security and consumer credit, protection and fraud. An increasing number of governments worldwide have established laws and regulations, and industry groups also have promoted various standards, regarding data privacy and security, including with respect to the protection and processing of personal data. The legal and regulatory environment related to data privacy and security is increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to our business, and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. We are also subject to labor and employment laws, including regulations established by the U.S. Department of Labor and other local regulatory agencies, which sets laws governing working conditions, paid leave, workplace safety, wage and hour standards, and hiring and employment practices. While there are no current regulatory matters that we expect to be material to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, there can be no assurances that existing or future environmental laws and other laws, regulations and standards applicable to our operations or products will not lead to a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

When considering an investment in the Company, one should carefully consider all of the risk factors described below, as well as other information included and incorporated by reference in this annual report. There may be additional risks, uncertainties and matters not listed below, that we are unaware of, or that we currently consider immaterial. Any of these may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and, thus, the value of an investment in the Company. OPERATIONAL RISKS We operate in a highly competitive environment, which may adversely affect our ability to succeed. We operate in a highly competitive environment for marketing oilfield products and services and securing equipment. Our ability to continually provide competitive products and services can impact our ability to defend, maintain or increase prices for our products and services, maintain market share, and negotiate acceptable contract terms with our customers. In order to be competitive, we must provide new and differentiating technologies, reliable products and services that perform as expected and that create value for our customers. In addition, our investments in new technologies, equipment, and facilities may not provide competitive returns. Our ability to defend, maintain or increase prices for our products and services is in part dependent on the industry’s capacity relative to customer demand, and on our ability to differentiate the value delivered by our products and services from our competitors’ products and services. Managing development of competitive technology and new product introductions on a forecasted schedule and at a forecasted cost can impact our financial results. If we are unable to continue to develop and produce competitive technology or deliver it to our clients in a timely and cost- competitive manner in various markets in which we operate, or if competing technology accelerates the obsolescence of any of our products or services, any competitive advantage that we may hold, and in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Our business could be adversely affected by the widespread outbreak of a disease or virus. The current global spread of the COVID-19 virus has and may continue to materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition for an indeterminate amount of time. The markets have experienced volatility in oil demand due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. If demand for our products and services declines, the utilization of our assets and the prices we are able to charge our customers for our products and services could decline. The continued spread of COVID-19 or a similar pandemic could result in further instability in the markets and decreases in commodity prices resulting in further adverse impacts on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. In addition, the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, or similar pandemics, and the continuation of the measures to try to contain the virus or similar viruses, such as vaccine mandates, travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and shutdowns, may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our vendors and suppliers. Also, if a significant number of our employees Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 14 were to contract the virus or be quarantined, we may not be able to complete key or critical tasks, not limited to, but including key financial, reporting, and operational controls. There is considerable uncertainty regarding such measures and potential future measures which may result in labor disruptions, employee attrition, and could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. Failure to effectively and timely execute our energy transition strategy could have an adverse effect on the demand for our technologies and services. Our future success may depend upon our ability to effectively execute on our energy transition strategy. Our strategy depends on our ability to develop additional technologies and work with our customers and partners to advance new energy solutions such as carbon capture utilization and storage, hydrogen energy, geothermal, and other integrated solutions. If the energy transition landscape changes faster than anticipated or faster than we can transition or if we fail to execute our energy transition strategy as planned, demand for our technologies and services could be adversely affected. Disruptions in our supply chain, the high cost or unavailability of raw materials, equipment, and supplies essential to our business could adversely affect our ability to execute our operations on a timely basis. Our manufacturing operations are dependent on having sufficient raw materials, component parts and manufacturing capacity, including labor, available to meet our manufacturing plans on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost while minimizing inventories. Disruptions within our supply chain has had and may continue to have an impact on our business and reputation, including our ability to meet our manufacturing plans and revenue goals, control costs, and avoid shortages or over-supply of raw materials and component parts. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to execute our business strategy effectively and our operations could be adversely affected. Our operations and future success depend on our ability to recruit, train, and retain qualified personnel. People are a key resource to developing, manufacturing, and delivering our products and providing technical services to our customers around the world. A competent, well-trained, highly skilled, motivated, and diverse workforce has a positive impact on our ability to attract and retain business. Periods of rapid growth present a challenge to us and our industry to recruit, train, and retain our employees, while also managing the impact of wage inflation and the limited available qualified labor in the markets where we operate. Our business could be impacted by both geopolitical and terrorism threats in countries where we or our customers do business and our business operations may be impacted by civil unrest and/or government expropriations. Geopolitical and terrorism threats continue to grow in a number of key countries where we currently or may in the future do business. Geopolitical and terrorism threats, including armed conflict among countries, could lead to, among other things, a loss of our investment in the country, adverse impact to our employees, and impairment of our or our customers’ ability to conduct operations. In addition to other geopolitical and terrorism risks, civil unrest continues to grow in several countries where we do business. Our ability to conduct business operations may be impacted by that civil unrest and our assets in these countries may also be subject to expropriation by governments or other parties involved in civil unrest. Control of oil and natural gas reserves by national oil companies may impact the demand for our services and products and create additional risks in our operations. Much of the world’s oil and natural gas reserves are controlled by national oil companies. National oil companies may require their contractors to meet local content requirements or other local standards, such as conducting our operations through joint ventures with local partners that could be difficult or undesirable for us to meet. The failure to meet the local content requirements and other local standards may adversely impact our operations in those countries. In addition, our ability to work with national oil companies is subject to our ability to negotiate and agree upon acceptable contract terms. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 15 Our operations involve a variety of operating hazards and risks that could cause losses. The products that we manufacture and the services that we provide are complex, and the failure of our equipment to operate properly or to meet specifications may greatly increase our customers’ costs. In addition, many of these products are used in inherently hazardous industries, such as the offshore oilfield business. These hazards include blowouts, explosions, nuclear-related events, fires, collisions, capsizings, and severe weather conditions. We may incur substantial liabilities or losses as a result of these hazards. Our insurance and contractual indemnity protection may not be sufficient or effective to protect us under all circumstances or against all risks. The occurrence of a significant event, against which we were not fully insured or indemnified or the failure of a customer to meet its indemnification obligations to us, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Seasonal and weather conditions could adversely affect demand for our services and operations. Variation from normal weather patterns, such as cooler or warmer summers and winters, can have a significant impact on demand for our services and operations. Adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, may interrupt or curtail our operations, or our customers’ operations, cause supply disruptions and result in a loss of revenue and damage to our equipment and facilities, which may or may not be insured. For example, extreme winter conditions in Canada, Russia, or the North Sea may interrupt or curtail our operations, or our customers’ operations, in those areas and result in a loss of revenue. We are subject to risks related to our relationship with GE. We are partially dependent on GE through, among other things, our reliance on the long-term agreements between the Company and GE. We are also a party to a number of licenses with GE that give us rights to intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. Failure of GE to comply with these agreements could have an adverse impact on our business operations. CREDIT AND CUSTOMER CONTRACTING RISKS Providing services on an integrated, turnkey, or fixed price basis could require us to assume additional risks. We may choose to enter into integrated or turnkey contracts with our customers that require us to provide services and equipment outside of our core business. Providing services on an integrated or turnkey basis may also subject us to additional risks, such as costs associated with unexpected delays or difficulties in drilling operations, project management interface risk, and risks associated with subcontracting and consortium arrangements. These integrated or turnkey contracts may be fixed price contracts that do not allow us to recover for cost over-runs unless they are directly caused by the customer. We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications required under our service contracts and equipment purchase agreements. Our products are used in deepwater, and other harsh environments, and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for our products and services, which may also include extensive testing requirements. In addition, scrutiny of the offshore drilling industry has resulted in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to ensure compliance with such specifications. We cannot provide assurance that our products, including products supplied through joint ventures, will be able to satisfy the specifications or that we will be able to perform the full-scale testing necessary to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect our results of operations. We sometimes enter into consortium or similar arrangements for certain projects, which could impose additional costs and obligations on us. We sometimes enter into consortium or similar arrangements for certain projects. Under such arrangements, each party is responsible for performing a certain scope of work within the total scope of the contracted work, and Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 16 the obligations expire when all contractual obligations are completed. The failure or inability, financially or otherwise, of any of the parties to perform their obligations could impose additional costs and obligations on us. These factors could result in unanticipated costs to complete the project, liquidated damages or contract disputes. Our contracts may be terminated early in certain circumstances. Our contracts with customers generally may be terminated by the customer for convenience, default, or extended force majeure (which could include inability to perform due to COVID-19). Termination for convenience may require the payment of an early termination fee by the customer, but the early termination fee may not fully compensate us for the loss of the contract. Termination by the customer for default or extended force majeure due to events outside of our control generally will not require the customer to pay an early termination fee. Our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially adversely affected if our customers terminate some of our contracts and we are unable to secure new contracts on a timely basis and on substantially similar terms, if payments due under our contracts are suspended for an extended period of time, or if a number of our contracts are renegotiated. Our remaining performance obligation ("RPO") is comprised of unfilled customer orders for products and product services (expected life of contract sales for product services). The actual amount and timing of revenues earned may be substantially different than the reported RPO. The total dollar amount of the Company’s RPO as of December 31, 2021 was $23.6 billion. The credit risks of having a concentrated customer base in the energy industry could result in losses. Having a concentration of customers in the energy industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk as our customers may be similarly affected by prolonged changes in economic and industry conditions. Some of our customers may experience extreme financial distress as a result of falling commodity prices and may be forced to seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws, which may affect our ability to recover any amounts due from such customers. Furthermore, countries that rely heavily upon income from hydrocarbon exports have been and may in the future be negatively and significantly affected by a drop in oil prices, which could affect our ability to collect from our customers in these countries, particularly national oil companies. Laws in some jurisdictions in which we will operate could make collection difficult or time consuming. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not expect to require collateral in support of our trade receivables. While we maintain reserves for potential credit losses, we cannot assure such reserves will be sufficient to meet write-offs of uncollectible receivables or that our losses from such receivables will be consistent with our expectations. Additionally, in the event of a bankruptcy of any of our customers, we may be treated as an unsecured creditor and may collect substantially less, or none, of the amounts owed to us by such customer. Our customers’ activity levels and spending for our products and services and ability to pay amounts owed us could be impacted by the reduction of their cash flow and the ability of our customers to access equity or credit markets. Our customers’ access to capital is dependent on their ability to access the funds necessary to develop economically attractive projects based upon their expectations of future energy prices, required investments and resulting returns. Limited access to external sources of funding has caused and may continue to cause customers to reduce their capital spending plans to levels supported by internally generated cash flow. In addition, a reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities or the lack of available debt or equity financing may impact the ability of our customers to pay amounts owed to us and could cause us to increase our reserve for credit losses. LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS Compliance with and changes in laws could be costly and could affect operating results. In addition, government disruptions could negatively impact our ability to conduct our business. We conduct business in more than 120 countries that can be impacted by expected and unexpected changes in the legal and business environments in which we operate. In particular, the shipment of goods, services and technology across international borders subjects us to extensive trade laws and regulations. Our import activities are governed by the unique customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. Pursuant to their laws and regulations, governments may impose economic sanctions against certain countries, persons and Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 17 entities that may restrict or prohibit transactions involving such countries, persons and entities, which may limit or prevent our conduct of business in certain jurisdictions. Compliance-related issues could limit our ability to do business in certain countries and impact our earnings or result in investigations leading to fines, penalties or other remedial measures. Changes that could impact the legal environment include new legislation, new regulations, new policies, investigations, and legal proceedings and new interpretations of existing legal rules and regulations, in particular, changes in export control laws or exchange control laws, additional restrictions on doing business in countries subject to sanctions, and changes in laws in countries where we operate. In addition, changes and uncertainty in the political environments in which our businesses operate can have a material effect on the laws, rules, and regulations that affect our operations. Government disruptions may also delay or halt the granting and renewal of permits, licenses and other items required by us and our customers to conduct our business. The continued success of our global business and operations depends, in part, on our ability to continue to anticipate and effectively manage these and other political, legal and regulatory risks. Our failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and other similar laws could have a negative impact on our ongoing operations. Our ability to comply with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, and various other anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws depends on the success of our ongoing compliance program, including our ability to successfully manage our agents, distributors and other business partners, and supervise, train, and retain competent employees. We could be subject to sanctions and civil and criminal prosecution, fines and penalties, as well as legal expenses and reputational harm in the event of a finding of a violation of any of these laws by us or any of our employees. Anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws could have adverse consequences for us. Non-compliance with anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism financing and various other financial laws may subject us to sanctions, civil and criminal prosecution, fines and penalties, as well as legal expenses and potential reputational harm. We cannot be sure our programs and controls are or will remain effective to ensure our compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws and regulations. Changes in tax laws, tax rates, tariffs, adverse positions taken by taxing authorities, and tax audits could impact operating results. Changes in tax laws, tax rates, tariffs, changes in interpretation of tax laws, the resolution of tax assessments or audits by various tax authorities, and the ability to fully utilize tax loss carryforwards and tax credits could impact our operating results, including additional valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Uninsured claims and litigation against us could adversely impact our operating results. We could be impacted by the outcome of pending litigation, as well as unexpected litigation or proceedings. While we have insurance coverage against operating hazards, including product liability claims and personal injury claims related to our products, to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available; no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future claims and litigation. We may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise violated its intellectual property rights. The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components we use to provide our products and services may infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others or be challenged on that basis. Regardless of the merits, any such claims may result in significant legal and other costs and may distract management from running our core business. Resolving such claims could increase our costs, including through royalty payments to acquire licenses, if available, from third parties and through the development of replacement technologies. If a license to resolve a claim were not available, we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 18 Compliance with, and rulings and litigation in connection with, environmental regulations and the environmental impacts of our operations may adversely affect our business and operating results. We and our business are subject to extensive domestic and international environmental and safety regulations. In addition to environmental and safety regulatory compliance obligations, we may face liability arising out of the normal course of business, including alleged personal injury or property damage due to exposure of hazardous substances at our current or former facilities. Our expectations regarding our compliance with environmental laws and regulations and our expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including (without limitation) our capital expenditures for environmental control equipment, are only our forecasts regarding these matters. We may be impacted by material changes in environmental and safety regulations or subject to substantial liability for environmental impacts. Our compliance cost forecasts may be substantially different from actual results, which may be affected by factors such as: changes in law that impose restrictions on air or other emissions, wastewater management, waste disposal, hydraulic fracturing, or wetland and land use practices; more stringent enforcement of existing environmental laws and regulations; a change in our share of any remediation costs or other unexpected, adverse outcomes with respect to sites where we have been named as a potentially responsible party, including (without limitation) Superfund sites; the discovery of other sites, or discovery of additional issues at existing sites, where additional expenditures may be required to comply with environmental legal obligations; and the accidental discharge of hazardous materials. Investor and public perception related to the company’s environment, social, and governance ("ESG") performance as well as current and future ESG reporting requirements may affect our business and our operating results. Increasing focus on ESG factors has led to enhanced interest in, and review of performance results by investors and other stakeholders, and the potential for litigation and reputational risk. Regulatory requirements related to ESG or sustainability reporting have been issued in the European Union that apply to financial market participants, with implementation and enforcement having started in 2021. In the U.S., such regulations have been issued related to pension investments in California, and for the responsible investment of public funds in Illinois. Additional regulation is pending in other states. We may be affected by our ability to meet evolving and expanding emissions reporting requirements and by investor and public perception of our reporting and performance related to voluntary climate standards. We expect regulatory requirements related to ESG matters to continue to expand globally. We are committed to transparent and comprehensive reporting of our sustainability performance and report under standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative’s G4 guidelines, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board’s documentation, and recommendations issued by the Financial Stability Board's Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures. If we are not able to meet future sustainability reporting requirements of regulators or current and future expectations of investors, customers or other stakeholders, our business and ability to raise capital may be adversely affected. International, national, and state governments and agencies continue to evaluate and promulgate legislation and regulations that are focused on reducing greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions. Compliance with GHG emission regulations applicable to our or our customers' operations may have significant implications that could adversely affect our business and operating results in the fossil-fuel sectors, and boosting demand for technologies contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions. In the United States, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has taken steps to regulate GHG emissions as air pollutants under the U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended. The EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule requires monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from, among others, certain mobile and stationary GHG emission sources in the oil and natural gas industry, which in turn may include data from our equipment or operations. In addition, the U.S. government has proposed rules in the past setting GHG emission standards for, or otherwise aimed at reducing GHG emissions from, the oil and natural gas industry. Caps or fees on carbon emissions, including in the U.S., have been and may continue to be established and the cost of such caps or fees could disproportionately affect the fossil-fuel sectors. We are unable to predict whether and when the proposed changes in laws or regulations ultimately will occur or what they ultimately will require, and accordingly, we are unable to assess the potential financial or operational impact they may have on our business. Other developments focused on restricting GHG emissions include the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which includes implementation of the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol by the Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 19 signatories; the Glasgow Climate Pact; the European Union Emission Trading System; Article 8 of the European Union Energy Efficiency Directive and the United Kingdom’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting ("SECR"); the European Commission’s proposed carbon border adjustment mechanism ("CBAM"); and, in the U.S., the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the Western Climate Action Initiative, and various state programs implementing the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (known as "Assembly Bill 32"). Requirements and voluntary initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as increased climate change awareness, may result in increased costs for the oil and gas industry to curb greenhouse gas emissions and could have an adverse impact on demand for oil and natural gas. International, national, and state governments, agencies and bodies continue to evaluate and promulgate regulations and voluntary initiatives that are focused on reducing GHG emissions. These requirements and initiatives are likely to become more stringent over time and to result in increased costs for the oil and gas industry to reduce GHG emissions. In addition, these developments, and public perception relating to climate change, may curtail production and demand for hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas by shifting demand towards an investment in relatively lower carbon emitting energy sources and alternative energy solutions. If, for example, renewable energy becomes more competitive than fossil-fuel energy globally, it could have a material effect on our results of operations. The potential for physical effects of climate change may pose future risks to our operations and those of our customers. Physical climate change effects can include extreme variability in weather patterns such as increased frequency and severity of significant weather events (e.g. flooding, hurricanes and tropical storms), natural hazards (e.g., increased wildfire risk), rising mean temperature and sea levels, and long-term changes in precipitation patterns (e.g. drought, desertification, or poor water quality). Such effects have the potential to affect business continuity and operating results, particularly at facilities in coastal areas or areas prone to chronic water scarcity. Changes in laws or regulations relating to data privacy and security, or any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws or regulations, or contractual or other obligations relating to data privacy or security, may adversely affect our business and operating results. We may have access to sensitive, confidential, proprietary or personal data or information in certain of our businesses that is or may become subject to various data privacy and security laws, regulations, standards, contractual obligations or customer-imposed controls in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The legal and regulatory environment related to data privacy and security is increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to our business, and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. These laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that may adversely affect our business and operating results. In the U.S., various federal and state regulators, including governmental agencies like the Federal Trade Commission, have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws, regulations and standards concerning personal information and data security. Internationally, laws, regulations and standards in many jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, retention, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal information or other data. These various and evolving federal, state and international laws, regulations and standards can differ significantly from one another and, given our global footprint, this may significantly complicate our compliance efforts and impose considerable costs, such as costs related to organizational changes and implementing additional protection technologies, which are likely to increase over time. In addition, compliance with applicable requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, distract management or divert resources from other initiatives and projects, all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any applicable federal, state or international laws, regulations, standards, or contractual or other obligations, relating to data privacy and security could result in damage to our reputation and our relationship with our customers, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies, customers or individuals, which could subject us to significant fines, sanctions, awards, penalties or judgments, all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 20 TECHNOLOGY RISKS An inability to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business. There can be no assurance that the steps we take to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights will be completely adequate. Our intellectual property rights may fail to provide us with significant competitive advantages, particularly in foreign jurisdictions where we have not invested in an intellectual property portfolio or that do not have, or do not enforce, strong intellectual property rights. The weakening of protection of our trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights could also adversely affect our business. We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. Our success depends in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain, protect and sufficiently enforce the licensed intellectual property rights we have commercialized. Without protection for the intellectual property rights we license, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical products for sale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business products. Also, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or renew from third parties the licenses to use intellectual property rights we need in the future, and there is no assurance that such licenses can be obtained on reasonable terms. We would be adversely affected in the event that any such license agreement was terminated without the right for us to continue using the licensed intellectual property. Increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats, and more sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks and other security incidents, pose risks to our systems, data and business, and our relationships with customers and other third parties. In the course of conducting our business, we may hold or have access to sensitive, confidential, proprietary or personal data or information belonging to us, our employees or third parties, including customers, partners or suppliers. Increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats, and more sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks and other security incidents, pose risks to our and our customers’, partners’, suppliers’ and third-party service providers’ systems, data, and business, and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our and our employees’ and customers’ data. While we attempt to mitigate these risks, we remain vulnerable to cyber attacks and other security incidents, including ransomware incidences. Given our global footprint, the large number of customers, partners, suppliers and service providers with which we do business, and the increasing sophistication and complexity of cyber attacks, a cyber attack could occur and persist for an extended period without detection. Any investigation of a cyber attack or other security incident would be inherently unpredictable and it would take time before the completion of any investigation and before there is availability of full and reliable information. During such time we would not necessarily know the extent of the harm or how best to remediate it, and certain errors or actions could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated, all or any of which would further increase the costs and consequences of a cyber attack or other security incident. We may be required to expend significant resources to protect against, respond to, and recover from any cyber attacks and other security incidents. As cyber attacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. In addition, our remediation efforts may not be successful. The inability to implement, maintain and upgrade adequate safeguards could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. In addition to our own systems, we use third-party service providers, who in turn may also use third-party providers, to process certain data or information on our behalf. Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for cybersecurity incidents attributed to our service providers to the extent affecting information we share with them. Although we contractually require these service providers to implement and maintain reasonable security measures, we cannot control third parties and cannot guarantee that a security breach will not occur in their systems. Despite our and our service providers’ efforts to protect our data and information, we and our service providers have been and may in the future be vulnerable to security breaches, ransomware attacks, theft, misplaced or lost data, programming errors, phishing attacks, denial of service attacks, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, malware, employee errors and/or malfeasance or similar events, including those perpetrated by criminals or nation-state actors, that could potentially lead to the compromise, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 21 destruction of data or information, improper use of our systems, defective products, loss of access to our data, production downtimes and operational disruptions. In addition, a cyber attack or any other significant compromise or breach of our data security, media reports about such an incident, whether accurate or not, or, under certain circumstances, our failure to make adequate or timely disclosures to the public, law enforcement agencies or affected individuals following any such event, whether due to delayed discovery or a failure to follow existing protocols, could adversely impact our operating results and result in other negative consequences, including damage to our reputation or competitiveness, harm to our relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and other third parties, distraction to our management, remediation or increased protection costs, significant litigation or regulatory action, fines and penalties. Given the increased prevalence of customer-imposed cybersecurity controls and other related contractual obligations towards customers or other third parties, a cyber attack or other security incident also could result in breach of contract or indemnity claims against us by customers or other counterparties. While we currently maintain cybersecurity insurance, such insurance may not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to cybersecurity breaches or attacks, failures or other data security-related incidents, and we cannot be certain that cyber insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that an insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. INDUSTRY AND MARKET RISKS Volatility of oil and natural gas prices can adversely affect demand for our products and services. Prices of oil and gas products are set on a commodity basis. As a result, the volatility in oil and natural gas prices can impact our customers’ activity levels and spending for our products and services. Current energy prices are important contributors to cash flow for our customers and their ability to fund exploration and development activities. Expectations about future prices and price volatility are important for determining future spending levels. Demand for oil and natural gas is subject to factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect our operating results. Changes in the global economy could impact our customers’ spending levels and our revenue and operating results. Demand for oil and natural gas, as well as the demand for our services and products, is highly correlated with global economic growth. A prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices may require us to record additional asset impairments. Such a potential impairment charge could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. Supply of oil and natural gas is subject to factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect our operating results. Productive capacity for oil and natural gas is dependent on our customers’ decisions to develop and produce oil and natural gas reserves and on the regulatory environment in which our customers and we operate. The ability to produce oil and natural gas can be affected by the number and productivity of new wells drilled and completed, as well as the rate of production and resulting depletion of existing wells. Currency fluctuations or devaluations may impact our operating results. Fluctuations or devaluations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can impact our revenue and our costs of doing business, as well as the costs of doing business of our customers. Changes in economic and/or market conditions may impact our ability to borrow and/or cost of borrowing. The condition of the capital markets and equity markets in general may affect the price of our common stock and our ability to obtain financing, if necessary. If our credit rating is downgraded, it could increase borrowing costs under credit facilities and commercial paper programs, as well as increase the cost of renewing or obtaining, or make it more difficult to renew, obtain, or issue new debt financing. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 22 RISKS RELATED TO OUR STOCK The market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial losses for our shareholders. The market price of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume in our Class A common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our Class A common stock declines significantly, our shareholders may be unable to sell their shares of our Class A common stock at or above their purchase price, if at all. We cannot assure our shareholders that the market price of our Class A common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect the price of our Class A common stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Class A common stock include: variations in our quarterly operating results; failure to meet our earnings estimates; publication of research reports about us or our industry; additions or departures of our executive officers and other key management personnel; adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future; actions by shareholders; offerings of our Class A common stock by GE or its affiliates or the perceived possibility of such offerings; changes in market valuations of similar companies; speculation in the press or investment community; changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations thereof affecting our business or enforcement of these laws and regulations, or announcements relating to these matters; adverse publicity about our industry generally or individual scandals, specifically; and general market and economic conditions. Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law might discourage or delay acquisition attempts for us that might be considered favorable. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a shareholder may consider favorable by permitting our Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock, requiring advance notice for shareholder proposals and nominations, and placing limitations on convening shareholder meetings. These provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals, delay, or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Pursuant to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provision. The forum selection clause in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation may limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. This exclusive forum provision applies to certain state law claims and will not apply to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. In addition, our shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees.

"Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 25, 2021. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We are an energy technology company with a broad and diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. We operate through our four business segments: Oilfield Services ("OFS"), Oilfield Equipment ("OFE"), Turbomachinery & Process Solutions ("TPS"), and Digital Solutions ("DS"). We sell products and services primarily in the global oil and gas markets, within the upstream, midstream and downstream segments. As we reflect on the macro environment in 2021, the global economy continued to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The oil markets experienced increasing levels of demand and continued restraints on supply translating into a strong oil price recovery. For natural gas, a combination of demand and supply factors converged, pushing natural gas and LNG prices to record levels in both Europe and in Asia. The natural gas price spikes also highlighted the fragility of the global energy system as the world transitions to net zero emissions. The effects from variant strains of the COVID-19 virus continued to impact operations in the form of global chip shortages, supply chain challenges, and inflationary pressures in multiple parts of the world. As we look ahead to 2022, we expect global economic growth to remain strong; however, growth rates are likely to moderate from 2021 levels as central banks are expected to begin tightening monetary policy in order to quell growing inflationary pressures. Despite the expected slowdown in the pace of growth, we believe the expected continuing broader macro recovery will translate into rising energy demand in 2022, with oil demand likely recovering to pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year. We expect continued momentum in the global natural gas markets in 2022, building on a strong 2021. Our positive long-term view on gas is also supported by the recent improvements in policy sentiment in certain parts of the world towards natural gas’ broader role within the energy transition. Outside of the oil and gas industry, the focus on cleaner energy sources and technology to lower carbon emissions from resource-intensive industries continues to accelerate. In the U.S., Europe, and Asia, various renewables, and green and blue hydrogen projects are moving forward, as well as a number of CCUS projects. On the new energy front, we were active this year in pursuing early-stage technologies in CCUS and in hydrogen. In CCUS, we acquired a position in Electrochaea, a bio-methanation company, and also entered into an exclusive license with SRI International for mixed-salt process technology. In hydrogen, we made an investment in Ekona, a growth stage company developing novel turquoise hydrogen production technology, as well as Nemesys, a technology company focused on a range of early-stage hydrogen technologies. On the industrial front, we completed the acquisition of ARMS Reliability and an investment in Augury, which will help Baker Hughes continue to build out its industrial asset management platform and deliver an expanded set of asset performance capabilities. Baker Hughes was successful on many fronts in 2021, with key commercial successes and developments in the LNG and new energy markets, solid margin improvements, as well as strong cash flows from operating activities and free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flows from operating activities less expenditures for capital assets plus the proceeds from disposal of assets). Our strong cash flow performance provides our Company ample flexibility and optionality for our broader capital allocation strategy. As evidence of this, we returned almost $1.2 billion back to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in 2021, while also making multiple acquisitions and investments across the industrial and new energy spaces. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 28 In 2021, we generated revenue of $20.5 billion, compared to $20.7 billion in 2020. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower volume in OFS and OFE, partially offset by higher volume in TPS and DS. Income before income taxes was $428 million in 2021, and included restructuring, impairment and other charges of $209 million, separation related costs of $60 million, a loss of $1,085 million related to our investment in C3 AI, partially offset by a gain of $241 million related to our investment in ADNOC Drilling, both recorded in other non-operating income/(loss). Loss before income taxes was $15.2 billion in 2020, and included goodwill impairment charges of $14.8 billion, restructuring, impairment and other charges of $1.9 billion, inventory impairment charges of $246 million, separation related costs of $134 million, and a gain of $1.4 billion related to our investment in C3 AI recorded in other non-operating income. OUTLOOK Our business is exposed to a number of macro factors, which influence our outlook and expectations given the current volatile conditions in the industry. All of our outlook expectations are purely based on the market as we see it today, and are subject to changing conditions in the industry. • • North America onshore activity: We expect North American onshore to experience strong growth in 2022, as compared to 2021 should commodity prices remain at current levels. International onshore activity: We expect onshore spending outside of North America to continue to improve in 2022 as compared to 2021 should commodity prices remain at current levels. • Offshore projects: We expect a modest recovery in offshore activity and the number of subsea tree awards to grow in 2022 as compared to 2021. • LNG projects: We remain optimistic on the LNG market long term and view natural gas as both a transition and a destination fuel. We continue to view the long-term economics of the LNG industry as positive. We have other segments in our portfolio that are more correlated with various industrial metrics, including global GDP growth, such as our Digital Solutions segment. We also have businesses within our portfolio that are exposed to new energy solutions, specifically focused around reducing carbon emissions of energy and broader industry, including hydrogen, geothermal, CCUS, and energy storage. We expect to see continued growth in these businesses as new energy solutions become a more prevalent part of the broader energy mix. Overall, we believe our portfolio is well positioned to compete across the energy value chain and deliver comprehensive solutions for our customers. We remain optimistic about the long-term economics of the oil and gas industry, but we are continuing to operate with flexibility. Over time, we believe the world’s demand for energy will continue to rise, and that hydrocarbons will play a major role in meeting the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future. As such, we remain focused on delivering innovative, low-emission, and cost-effective solutions that deliver step changes in operating and economic performance for our customers. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 29 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity position as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company. Our revenue is predominately generated from the sale of products and services to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide, and is dependent on spending by our customers for oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. This spending is driven by a number of factors, including our customers' forecasts of future energy demand and supply, their access to resources to develop and produce oil and natural gas, their ability to fund their capital programs, the impact of new government regulations and most importantly, their expectations for oil and natural gas prices as a key driver of their cash flows. Oil and Natural Gas Prices Oil and natural gas prices are summarized in the table below as averages of the daily closing prices during each of the periods indicated. Brent oil prices ($/Bbl) (1) WTI oil prices ($/Bbl) (2) Natural gas prices ($/mmBtu) (3) $ 2021 2020 70.86 $ 68.14 3.89 41.96 39.16 2.03 (1) (2) (3) Energy Information Administration ("EIA") Europe Brent Spot Price per Barrel EIA Cushing, OK WTI ("West Texas Intermediate") spot price EIA Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price per million British Thermal Unit After a volatile year in 2020, when oil prices dropped due to lower demand, the combination of demand and supply in 2021 resulted in higher oil prices and raised natural gas and LNG prices to record breaking levels. Outside North America, customer spending is most heavily influenced by Brent oil prices. The average Brent oil prices increased to $70.86/Bbl in 2021 from $41.96/Bbl in 2020 and ranged from a low of $50.37/Bbl in January 2021, to a high of $85.76/Bbl in October 2021. In North America, customer spending is highly driven by WTI oil prices, which similarly to Brent oil prices, on average increased to $68.14/Bbl in 2021 from $39.16/Bbl in 2020, and ranged from a low of $47.47/Bbl in January 2021, to a high of $85.64/Bbl in October 2021. In North America, natural gas prices, as measured by the Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price, averaged $3.89/ mmBtu in 2021, representing a 92% increase over the prior year. Throughout the year, Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Prices ranged from a high of $23.86/mmBtu in February 2021, to a low of $2.43/mmBtu in April 2021. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, working natural gas in storage at the end of 2021 was 3,226 billion cubic feet ("Bcf"), which was 6.8%, or 234 Bcf, below the corresponding week in 2020. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 30 Baker Hughes Rig Count The Baker Hughes rig counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. When drilling rigs are active they consume products and services produced by the oil service industry. Rig count trends are driven by the exploration and development spending by oil and natural gas companies, which in turn is influenced by current and future price expectations for oil and natural gas. The counts may reflect the relative strength and stability of energy prices and overall market activity, however, these counts should not be solely relied on as other specific and pervasive conditions may exist that affect overall energy prices and market activity. We have been providing rig counts to the public since 1944. We gather all relevant data through our field service personnel, who obtain the necessary data from routine visits to the various rigs, customers, contractors and other outside sources as necessary. We base the classification of a well as either oil or natural gas primarily upon filings made by operators in the relevant jurisdiction. This data is then compiled and distributed to various wire services and trade associations and is published on our website. We believe the counting process and resulting data is reliable, however, it is subject to our ability to obtain accurate and timely information. Rig counts are compiled weekly for the U.S. and Canada and monthly for all international rigs. Published international rig counts do not include rigs drilling in certain locations, such as Russia, the Caspian region and onshore China because this information is not readily available. Rigs in the U.S. and Canada are counted as active if, on the day the count is taken, the well being drilled has been started but drilling has not been completed and the well is anticipated to be of sufficient depth to be a potential consumer of our drill bits. In international areas, rigs are counted on a weekly basis and deemed active if drilling activities occurred during the majority of the week. The weekly results are then averaged for the month and published accordingly. The rig count does not include rigs that are in transit from one location to another, rigging up, being used in non-drilling activities including production testing, completion and workover, and are not expected to be significant consumers of drill bits. The rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated. North America International Worldwide 2021 Compared to 2020 2021 2020 610 756 1,366 522 827 1,349 Overall the rig count was 1,366 in 2021, an increase of 1% as compared to 2020 due primarily to an increase in activity in North America partially offset by declines internationally. The rig count in North America increased 17% and the international rig count decreased 9% in 2021 compared to 2020. Within North America, the increase was primarily driven by the Canadian rig count, which was up 48% on average when compared to the same period last year, and an increase in the U.S. rig count, which was up 10% on average. Internationally, the decrease in the rig count was driven primarily by decreases in the Middle East region, Africa region and Europe region of 21%, 10%, and 10%, respectively. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussions below relating to significant line items from our consolidated statements of income (loss) are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items. In addition, the discussions below for revenue and cost of revenue are on a total basis as the business drivers for product sales and services are similar. All dollar amounts in tabulations in this section are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Our results of operations are evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer on a consolidated basis as well as at the segment level. The performance of our operating segments is evaluated based on segment operating income Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 31 (loss), which is defined as income (loss) before income taxes and before the following: net interest expense, net other non-operating income (loss), corporate expenses, restructuring, impairment and other charges, goodwill and inventory impairments, separation-related costs, and certain gains and losses not allocated to the operating segments. In evaluating the segment performance, the Company uses the following: Volume: Volume is the increase or decrease in products and/or services sold period-over-period excluding the impact of foreign exchange and price. The volume impact on profit is calculated by multiplying the prior period profit rate by the change in revenue volume between the current and prior period. It also includes price, defined as the change in sales price for a comparable product or service period-over-period and is calculated as the period-over- period change in sales prices of comparable products and services. Foreign Exchange ("FX"): FX measures the translational foreign exchange impact, or the translation impact of the period-over-period change on sales and costs directly attributable to change in the foreign exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar. FX impact is calculated by multiplying the functional currency amounts (revenue or profit) with the period-over-period FX rate variance, using the average exchange rate for the respective period. (Inflation)/Deflation: (Inflation)/deflation is defined as the increase or decrease in direct and indirect costs of the same type for an equal amount of volume. It is calculated as the year-over-year change in cost (i.e. price paid) of direct material, compensation and benefits, and overhead costs. Productivity: Productivity is measured by the remaining variance in profit, after adjusting for the period-over- period impact of volume and price, foreign exchange and (inflation)/deflation as defined above. Improved or lower period-over-period cost productivity is the result of cost efficiencies or inefficiencies, such as cost decreasing or increasing more than volume, or cost increasing or decreasing less than volume, or changes in sales mix among segments. This also includes the period-over-period variance of transactional foreign exchange, aside from those foreign currency devaluations that are reported separately for business evaluation purposes. Orders and Remaining Performance Obligations Our statement of income (loss) displays sales and costs of sales in accordance with SEC regulations under which “goods” is required to include all sales of tangible products and “services” must include all other sales, including other services activities. For the amounts shown below, we distinguish between “equipment” and “product services,” where product services refers to sales under product services agreements, including sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs), which is an important part of our operations. We refer to “product services” simply as “services” within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Orders: We recognized orders of $21.7 billion and $20.7 billion in 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2021, equipment orders were up 3% and service orders were up 6%, compared to 2020. Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"): As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was $23.6 billion and $23.4 billion, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2021 to Fiscal Year 2020 Revenue in 2021 was $20,502 million, a decrease of $203 million, or 1%, from 2020. This decrease in revenue was largely a result of decreased activity in OFS and OFE, partially offset by an increase in TPS and DS. OFS decreased $598 million, OFE decreased $358 million, TPS increased $712 million, and DS increased $42 million. Total segment operating income in 2021 was $2,006 million, an increase of $502 million, or 33%, from 2020. The increase was primarily driven by OFS, which increased $274 million, TPS, which increased $245 million, and OFE, which increased $50 million, partially offset by DS, which decreased $67 million. Oilfield Services OFS 2021 revenue was $9,542 million, a decrease of $598 million, or 6%, from 2020, primarily as a result of decreased international activity in 2021 compared to 2020, as evidenced by a decline in the corresponding rig Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 33 count, and, to a lesser extent, to decreased activity in North America and supply chain constraints in the second half of 2021. North America revenue was $2,773 million in 2021, a decrease of $28 million from 2020. International revenue was $6,769 million in 2021, a decrease of $569 million from 2020, primarily driven by declines in the Middle East, partially offset by growth in Latin America. OFS 2021 segment operating income was $761 million, compared to $487 million in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher cost productivity as a result of cost efficiencies and restructuring actions, and price in certain product lines, partially offset by lower volume and commodity costs inflation. Oilfield Equipment OFE 2021 revenue was $2,486 million, a decrease of $358 million, or 13%, from 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volume in the subsea production systems business, the disposition of the surface pressure control flow business in the fourth quarter of 2020, and the removal of subsea drilling systems from consolidated OFE operations in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to the formation of a joint venture, partially offset by higher volume in the services and flexible pipe businesses. OFE 2021 segment operating income was $69 million, compared to $19 million in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher cost productivity from our cost out programs and favorable business mix. Turbomachinery & Process Solutions TPS 2021 revenue was $6,417 million, an increase of $712 million, or 12%, from 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher equipment and projects revenue, as well as higher services volume. In 2021, equipment revenue represented 45% and services revenue represented 55% of total revenue. Equipment revenue was up 15% year-over-year, and services revenue was up 10% year-over-year. TPS 2021 segment operating income was $1,050 million, compared to $805 million in 2020. The increase in profitability was driven primarily by higher volume and increased cost productivity, partially offset by unfavorable business mix. Digital Solutions DS 2021 revenue was $2,057 million, an increase of $42 million, or 2%, from 2020, mainly driven by higher volume across the Process & Pipeline Services and Waygate Technologies businesses, partially offset by declines in the Nexus Controls business. DS revenue growth was affected by supply chain constraints that impacted product deliveries. DS 2021 segment operating income was $126 million, compared to $193 million in 2020. The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by lower cost productivity and unfavorable business mix. Corporate In 2021, corporate expenses were $429 million, a decrease of $35 million compared to 2020, primarily driven by lower expenses as a result of cost efficiencies and restructuring actions. Inventory Impairment There were no inventory impairments during 2021. In 2020, we recorded inventory impairments of $246 million primarily related to our Oilfield Services segment as a result of certain restructuring activities initiated by the Company. Charges for inventory impairments are predominately reported in the "Cost of goods sold" caption of the consolidated statements of income (loss). Goodwill Impairment There were no goodwill impairments during 2021. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s market capitalization declined significantly driven by current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions including the Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 34 decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and collapse of oil prices driven by both surplus production and supply. Based on these events, we concluded that a triggering event occurred and we performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of March 31, 2020. Based upon the results of the impairment test, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14,773 million during the first quarter of 2020. There were no other goodwill impairments during 2020. Restructuring, Impairment and Other In 2021, we recognized $209 million in restructuring, impairment and other charges. The charges in 2021 primarily relate to the initiatives in our OFS segment that are the continuation of our overall strategy to right-size our structural costs. In 2020, we recognized $1,866 million in restructuring, impairment and other charges. These charges primarily related to the restructuring plan announced in the first quarter of 2020, which included product line rationalization actions, headcount reductions in certain geographical locations, and other initiatives to right-size operations for anticipated activity levels and market conditions. Separation Related We recorded $60 million of separation related costs in 2021, a decrease of $74 million from the prior year. Costs relate to the ongoing activities for the separation from GE, primarily related to information technology. Other Non-Operating Income/(Loss), Net In 2021, we recorded $583 million of other non-operating loss. Costs in 2021 include losses of $1,085 million from marking our investment in C3 AI to fair value, partially offset by a gain of $241 million from marking our investment in ADNOC Drilling to fair value, by the reversal of $121 million of current accruals due to the settlement of certain legal matters, and by income of $121 million for liabilities that are recoverable as they are indemnified under the Tax Matters Agreement with GE. This income from indemnified liabilities has an offset in the "Provision for income taxes" caption in our consolidated statements of income (loss). In 2020, we recorded $1,040 million of other non-operating income. Included in this amount was a gain of $1,417 million related to marking our investment in C3 AI to fair value, partially offset by losses of $353 million for the sale of the rod lift systems business in OFS, and the sale of the surface pressure control flow business in OFE. Interest Expense, Net In 2021, we incurred net interest expense of $299 million, an increase of $35 million from the prior year, primarily driven by higher interest expense, mainly related to $28 million of costs associated with the refinancing of our senior notes due December 2022, and lower interest income. Income Taxes In 2021, our income tax expense was $758 million, an increase of $199 million, from $559 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to tax expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and the geographical mix of earnings. Our 2021 income tax expense includes $121 million that is recoverable as it relates to liabilities indemnified under the Tax Matters Agreement with GE. This tax expense has an offset in the "Other non-operating income (loss), net" caption in our consolidated statements of income (loss). COMPLIANCE We, in the conduct of all of our activities, are committed to maintaining the core values of our Company, as well as high safety, ethical, and quality standards as also reported in our Quality Management System ("QMS"). We believe such a commitment is integral to running a sound, successful, and sustainable business. We devote significant resources to maintain a comprehensive global ethics and compliance program ("Compliance Program") which is designed to prevent, detect, and appropriately respond to any potential violations of the law, the Code of Conduct, and other Company policies and procedures. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 35 Highlights of our Compliance Program include the following: • Comprehensive internal policies over such areas as anti-bribery; travel, entertainment, gifts and charitable donations to government officials and other parties; payments to commercial sales representatives; and, the use of non-U.S. police or military organizations for security purposes. In addition, there are policies and procedures to address customs requirements, visa processing risks, export and re-export controls, economic sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-boycott laws. • Global and independent structure of Chief Compliance Officer and other compliance professionals providing compliance advice, customized training and governance, as well as investigating concerns across all regions and countries where we do business. • • • • • • • • • • Comprehensive employee compliance training program that combines instructor-led and web-based training modules tailored to the key risks that employees face on an ongoing basis. Due diligence and monitoring procedures for third parties who conduct business on our behalf, including channel partners (sales representatives, distributors, resellers), and administrative service providers. Due diligence procedures for acquisition activities. Specifically tailored compliance risk assessments and audits focused on country and third party risk. Compliance Review Board comprised of senior officers of the Company that meets quarterly to monitor effectiveness of the Compliance Program, as well as product company and regional compliance committees that meet quarterly. Technology to monitor and report on compliance matters, including an internal investigations management system, a web-based anti-boycott reporting tool, global trade management systems and comprehensive watch list screening. Data privacy compliance policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable data privacy requirements. A compliance program designed to create an “Open Reporting Environment” where employees are encouraged to report any ethics or compliance matter without fear of retaliation, including a global network of trained employee ombudspersons, and a worldwide, 24-hour business helpline operated by a third party and available in approximately 200 languages. Centralized finance organization with company-wide policies. Anti-corruption audits of high-risk countries, as well as risk-based compliance audits of third parties. • We have region-specific processes and procedures for management of HR related issues, including pre- hire screening of employees; a process to screen existing employees prior to promotion into select roles where they may be exposed to finance and/or corruption-related risks; and implementation of a global new hire training module which includes compliance training for all employees. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources, and financial flexibility in order to fund the requirements of our business. Despite the challenging dynamics that began in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to maintain solid financial strength and liquidity. At December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 billion compared to $4.1 billion at December 31, 2020. Our liquidity is further supported by a revolving credit facility of $3 billion, and access to both commercial paper and uncommitted lines of credit. At December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, our commercial paper program or our uncommitted lines of credit. Our next debt maturity is December 2023. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 36 We held cash and cash equivalents in the U.S. of approximately $1.6 billion and $1.0 billion and outside the U.S. of approximately $2.2 billion and $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A substantial portion of the cash held outside the U.S. at December 31, 2021 has been reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations. If we decide at a later date to repatriate those funds to the U.S., we may incur other additional taxes that would not be significant to the total tax provision. We have a $3 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility ("the Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in December 2024. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, certain customary affirmative covenants and certain customary negative covenants. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the Credit Agreement and other customary defaults. No such events of default have occurred. We have no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. In addition, we have a commercial paper program under which we may issue from time to time commercial paper with maturities of no more than 397 days. As a result of the repayment of £600 million of our commercial paper on April 30, 2021, originally issued in May of 2020 under the COVID Corporate Financing Facility established by the Bank of England, our authorized commercial paper program was reduced from $3.8 billion to $3 billion. Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions. See "Note 10. Borrowings" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for further details. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to the uncertainty created by a global pandemic or a significant decline in oil and gas prices, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be negatively impacted. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit ratings. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under our committed credit facility; however, a downgrade in our credit ratings could increase the cost of borrowings under the credit facility and could also limit or preclude our ability to issue commercial paper. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding, including borrowing under the credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we dispersed cash to fund a variety of activities including certain working capital needs, restructuring and GE separation related costs, capital expenditures, the payment of dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests, repayment of debt, and repurchases of our common stock. Cash Flows Cash flows provided by (used in) each type of activity were as follows for the years ended December 31: (In millions) Operating activities Investing activities Financing activities Fiscal Year 2021 to Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Activities $ 2021 2020 2,374 $ (463) (2,143) 1,304 (618) 225 Our largest source of operating cash is payments from customers, of which the largest component is collecting cash related to our sales of products and services including advance payments or progress collections for work to be performed. The primary use of operating cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities and others for a wide range of goods and services. Cash flows from operating activities generated cash of $2,374 million and $1,304 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash generated from operating activities were primarily driven by net losses adjusted for certain noncash items (including depreciation, amortization and loss on equity securities). In addition, working capital, which includes contract and other deferred Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 37 assets, generated $480 million of cash in 2021 primarily due to accounts payable, inventories and contract and other deferred assets partially offset by accounts receivable and progress collections, as we continue to make progress on improving our working capital processes. Restructuring and GE separation related payments were $175 million on a net basis in 2021 and include the proceeds from the disposal of certain facilities, which are reflected below in investing activities. In 2020, working capital generated $216 million of cash primarily due to receivables and positive progress collections partially offset by accounts payable. Restructuring and GE separation related payments were $670 million in 2020. Investing Activities Cash flows from investing activities used cash of $463 million and $618 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures to ensure that we have the appropriate levels and types of machinery and equipment in place to generate revenue from operations. Expenditures for capital assets totaled $856 million and $974 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, partially offset by cash flows from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $315 million and $187 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Proceeds from the disposal of assets related to equipment that was lost-in-hole, and to property, machinery and equipment no longer used in operations that was sold throughout the period. In 2021, we contributed our subsea drilling systems business to create a joint venture and received as consideration 50% of the shares of the joint venture, cash of $70 million, and a promissory note of $80 million. In 2020, we received proceeds of $187 million primarily from the sale of our rod lift systems and our surface pressure control flow businesses. We invested $179 million during 2021 in adding capabilities to our new energy and industrial asset management offerings through the acquisition of business interests in Augury, Ekona Power and Electrochaea, among others. In 2021, we sold approximately 2.2 million shares of C3 AI Class A common stock and received proceeds of $145 million, which is reported as other investing activity. Financing Activities Cash flows from financing activities used cash of $2,143 million and generated cash of $225 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We had net repayments of short-term debt of $41 million and $204 million and long-term debt of $1,313 million and $42 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The repayment of long-term debt in 2021 was primarily driven by the early repayment of our 2.773% Senior Notes due December 2022 ("the 2022 Notes") with a principal amount of $1,250 million. In addition, a charge of $28 million related to the early redemption was recorded within "Interest expense, net" in our consolidated statement of income (loss). In December 2021, we received proceeds from the issuance of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 1.231% Senior Notes due December 2023 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 2.061% Senior Notes due December 2026. In 2020, we had proceeds from the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.486% Senior Notes due May 2030. We repaid $832 million (£600 million) of commercial paper in April 2021 originally issued in May 2020 ($737 million at date of issuance) under the COVID Corporate Financing Facility established by the Bank of England. During 2021, we paid dividends of $592 million to our Class A stockholders, and we made a distribution of $157 million to GE. During 2020, we paid dividends of $488 million to our Class A stockholders, and we made a distribution of $256 million to GE. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 38 On July 30, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized each of the Company and BHH LLC to repurchase up to $2 billion of its Class A common stock and LLC Units, respectively. During 2021, the Company and BHH LLC repurchased and canceled 17.6 million shares of Class A common stock and LLC Units, respectively, for a total of $434 million. Cash Requirements We believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, the available revolving credit facility, access to both our commercial paper program or our uncommitted lines of credit, and availability under our existing shelf registrations of debt will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity in the short-term and long-term to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures and dividends, repay debt, repurchase our common stock, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. When necessary, we issue commercial paper or other short-term debt to fund cash needs in the U.S. in excess of the cash generated in the U.S. Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels. Based on current market conditions, capital expenditures in 2022 will be made at a rate that we estimate would equal up to 5% of annual revenue. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily for normal, recurring items necessary to support our business. We also anticipate making income tax payments in the range of $550 million to $650 million in 2022. Contractual Obligations and Commitments Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations consist primarily of obligations for long-term debt and related interest, leases for property and equipment, and purchase obligations as part of normal operations. Certain amounts included in our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2021 are based on our estimates and assumptions about these obligations, including their duration, anticipated actions by third parties and other factors. See “Note 10. Borrowings” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for information regarding scheduled maturities of our long-term debt. See “Note 9. Leases” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for information regarding scheduled maturities of our operating leases. As of December 31, 2021, we had expected cash payments for estimated interest on our long-term debt and finance lease obligations of $242 million payable within the next twelve months and $3,141 million payable thereafter. As of December 31, 2021, we had purchase obligations of $1,304 million payable within the next twelve months and $397 million payable thereafter. Our purchase obligations include expenditures for capital assets for 2022 as well as agreements to purchase goods or services or licenses that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of potential future cash outflows associated with our uncertain tax positions, we are unable to make reasonable estimates of the period of cash settlement, if any, to the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $733 million in uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, have been excluded from the contractual obligations discussed above. See "Note 12. Income Taxes" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for further information. Other factors affecting liquidity Registration Statements: In May 2021, Baker Hughes filed a universal automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR with the SEC to have the ability to sell various types of securities including debt securities, Class A common stock, preferred stock, guarantees of debt securities, purchase contracts and units. The specific terms of any securities to be sold would be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. The registration statement will expire in May 2024. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 39 In December 2020, BHH LLC, Baker Hughes Netherlands Funding Company B.V., and Baker Hughes Co- Obligor, Inc. filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to have the ability to sell up to $3 billion in debt securities in amounts to be determined at the time of an offering. Any such offering, if it does occur, may happen in one or more transactions. The specific terms of any debt securities to be sold would be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. The registration statement will expire in December 2023. Customer receivables: In line with industry practice, we may bill our customers for services provided in arrears dependent upon contractual terms. In a challenging economic environment, we may experience delays in the payment of our invoices due to customers' lower cash flow from operations or their more limited access to credit markets. While historically there have not been material non-payment events, we attempt to mitigate this risk through working with our customers to restructure their debts. A customer's failure or delay in payment could have a material adverse effect on our short-term liquidity and results from operations. As of December 31, 2021, 13% of our gross customer receivables were from customers in the U.S. and 12% were from customers in Mexico. As of December 31, 2020, 16% of our gross customer receivables were from customers in the U.S. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our gross customer receivables at these dates. International operations: Our cash that is held outside the U.S. is 57% of the total cash balance as of December 31, 2021. We may not be able to use this cash quickly and efficiently due to exchange or cash controls that could make it challenging. As a result, our cash balance may not represent our ability to quickly and efficiently use this cash. Supply chain finance programs: Under supply chain finance programs, administered by a third party, our suppliers are given the opportunity to sell receivables from us to participating financial institutions at their sole discretion at a rate that leverages our credit rating and thus might be more beneficial to our suppliers. Our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program. These liabilities continue to be presented as accounts payable in our consolidated statements of financial position and reflected as cash flow from operating activities when settled. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing programs would have a material impact on our liquidity. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if the nature of the estimate or assumption it incorporates is subject to a material level of judgment related to matters that are highly uncertain and changes in those estimates and assumptions are reasonably likely to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. These estimates reflect our best judgment about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions and their potential effects based on information available as of the date of these financial statements. If these conditions change from those expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described below could change, which may result in future impairments of goodwill, or the establishment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and increased tax liabilities, among other effects. Also, see "Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein, which discusses our most significant accounting policies. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has reviewed our critical accounting estimates and the disclosure presented below. During the past three fiscal years, we have not made any material changes in the methodology used to establish the critical accounting estimates, and we believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. There are other items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation and judgment but they are not deemed critical as defined above. Revenue Recognition on Long-Term Product Services Agreements We have long-term service agreements with our customers predominately within our TPS segment. These agreements typically require us to maintain assets sold to the customer over a defined contract term. These agreements have average contract terms of greater than 10 years. From time to time, these contract terms may be extended through contract modifications or amendments, which may result in revisions to future billing and cost Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 40 estimates. Revenue recognition on long-term product services agreements requires estimates of both customer payments and the costs to perform required maintenance services over the contract term. We recognize revenue on an overtime basis using input method to measure our progress toward completion at the estimated margin rate of the contract. To develop our billings estimates, we consider the number of billable events that will occur based on estimated utilization of the asset under contract, over the life of the contract term. This estimated utilization will consider both historical and market conditions, asset retirements and new product introductions, if applicable. To develop our cost estimates, we consider the timing and extent of maintenance and overhaul events, including the amount and cost of labor, spare parts and other resources required to perform the services. In developing our cost estimates, we utilize a combination of our historical cost experience and expected cost improvements. Cost improvements are only included in future cost estimates after savings have been observed in actual results or proven effective through an extensive regulatory or engineering approval process. We routinely review the estimates used in our product services agreements and regularly revise them to adjust for changes. These revisions are based on objectively verifiable information that is available at the time of the review. The difference between the timing of our revenue recognition and cash received from our customers results in either a contract asset (revenue in excess of billings) or a contract liability (billings in excess of revenue). See "Note 7. Contract and Other Deferred Assets" and "Note 8. Progress Collections and Deferred Income" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein for further information. We regularly assess customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables and contract assets and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offset our accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. We gain insight into expected future utilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through our knowledge of the equipment installed and the close interaction with our customers through supplying critical services and parts over extended periods. Revisions to cost or billing estimates may affect a product services agreement’s total estimated profitability resulting in an adjustment of earnings; such adjustments generated earnings of $14 million, $17 million and $(1) million for the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We provide for probable losses when they become evident. On December 31, 2021, our long-term product service agreements, net of related billings in excess of revenues, of $0.3 billion, represent approximately 2.6% of our total estimated life of contract billings of $10.1 billion. Cash billings collected on these contracts were approximately $0.6 billion during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Our contracts (on average) are approximately 26% complete based on costs incurred to date and our estimate of future costs. Revisions to our estimates of future revenue or costs that increase or decrease total estimated contract profitability by 1% would increase or decrease the long-term product service agreements balance by $0.06 billion. Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Assets We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill on a qualitative or quantitative basis for each of our reporting units as of July 1, or more frequently when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist at the reporting unit level. When performing the annual impairment test we have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine the existence of events and circumstances that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such a conclusion is reached, we would then be required to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill. A quantitative assessment for the determination of impairment is made by comparing the carrying amount of each reporting unit with its fair value. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions and typically requires analysis of discounted cash flows and other market information, such as trading multiples, and comparable transactions. Cash flow analysis requires judgment regarding many factors, such as management’s projections of future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, and long-term growth rates. Market information requires judgmental selection of relevant market comparables. We assess the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time the valuation is performed. Our estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain, and actual Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 41 results may differ from those assumed in our analysis. The determination of whether goodwill is impaired involves a significant level of judgment in these assumptions, and changes in our forecasts, business strategy, government regulations, or economic or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments, potentially decreasing the fair value of one or more reporting units. Any resulting impairment charges could have a material impact on our results of operations. Income Taxes Our effective tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates, and differences between tax laws and U.S. GAAP in various jurisdictions. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Our rate may be further impacted by the repatriation of foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested to the extent the repatriation would result in additional taxes such as withholding and income taxes. Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management’s judgment and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. In cases where repatriation would otherwise incur significant withholding or income taxes, these foreign earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations. Computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and any other basis differences is not practicable. Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable in future years. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by assessing the adequacy of future taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income rely heavily on estimates. We use our historical experience and short and long range business forecasts to provide insight. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our tax filings routinely are subject to audit by the tax authorities in the jurisdictions where we conduct business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the tax authorities or through the courts. We have provided for the amounts we believe will ultimately result from these proceedings, but settlements of issues raised in these audits may affect our tax rate. We have $531 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, at December 31, 2021. We are not able to reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts ultimately will be settled. Allowance for Credit Losses The estimation of anticipated credit losses that may be incurred as we work through the invoice collection process with our customers requires us to make judgments and estimates regarding our customers' ability to pay amounts due to us. We monitor our customers' payment history and current credit worthiness to determine that collectability is reasonably assured. We also consider the overall business climate in which our customers operate. For accounts receivable, a loss allowance matrix is utilized to measure lifetime expected credit losses. The matrix contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for credit losses totaled $400 million and $373 million of total gross accounts receivable, respectively. We believe that our allowance for credit losses is adequate to cover the anticipated credit losses under current conditions; however, uncertainties regarding changes in the financial condition of our customers, either adverse or positive, could impact the amount and timing of any additional credit losses that may be required. Inventory Reserves Inventory is a significant component of current assets and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This requires us to record provisions and maintain reserves for excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventory. To determine these reserve amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements, and technological developments. These estimates and forecasts inherently include uncertainties and require us to make judgments regarding potential future outcomes. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, inventory reserves totaled $374 million and $421 million of gross inventory, respectively. We believe that our reserves are adequate to properly value potential excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventory under current conditions. Significant or unanticipated changes to our estimates and Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 42 forecasts could impact the amount and timing of any additional provisions for excess, slow moving or obsolete inventory that may be required.

We do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required by securities law. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in our financial instruments and arise from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk but do not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. A discussion of our primary market risk exposure in financial instruments is presented below. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 43 INTEREST RATE RISK All of our long-term debt is comprised of fixed rate instruments. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2021, we had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500 million that converted a portion of our $1,350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.337% fixed rate Senior Notes due 2027 into a floating rate instrument with an interest rate based on a LIBOR index as a hedge of its exposure to changes in fair value that are attributable to interest rate risk. The interest rate swaps are designated and each qualify as a fair value hedging instrument. The interest rate swaps are considered to be effective at achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged liability, and no ineffectiveness is recognized. The mark-to-market of this fair value hedge was recorded as gain or loss in interest expense and was equally offset by the gain or loss of the underlying debt instrument, which also was recorded in interest expense. The following table sets forth our fixed rate long-term debt, excluding finance leases, and the related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. (In millions) As of December 31, 2021 Long-term debt (1) 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total (2) $ — $ 650 $ 107 $ — $ 600 $ 5,106 $ 6,463 Weighted average interest rates —% 1.46% 4.07% —% 2.20% 3.84% 3.46% (1) Fair market value of our fixed rate long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $7.2 billion at December 31, 2021. (2) Amounts represent the principal value of our long-term debt outstanding and related weighted average interest rates at the end of the respective period. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK We conduct our operations around the world in a number of different currencies, and we are exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Many of our significant foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency. As such, future earnings are subject to change due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies. Additionally, we buy, manufacture and sell components and products across global markets. These activities expose us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates which can adversely affect revenue earned and costs of our operating businesses. When the currency in which equipment is sold differs from the primary currency of the legal entity and the exchange rate fluctuates, it will affect the revenue earned on the sale. These sales and purchase transactions also create receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and exposure to foreign currency gains and losses based on changes in exchange rates. Changes in the price of raw materials used in manufacturing can affect the cost of manufacturing. We use derivatives to mitigate or eliminate these exposures, where appropriate. We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, most derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. We had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating $3.3 billion and $6.8 billion to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The notional amount of these derivative instruments do not generally represent cash amounts exchanged by us and the counterparties, but rather the nominal amount upon which changes in the value of the derivatives are measured. As of December 31, 2021, the Company estimates that a 1% appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. dollar would result in an impact of less than $10 million to our pre-tax earnings, however, the Company is generally able to mitigate its foreign exchange exposure, where there are liquid financial markets, through use of foreign currency derivative transactions. Also, see "Note 16. Financial Instruments" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein, which has additional details on our strategy. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 44 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021. This conclusion is based on the recognition that there are inherent limitations in all systems of internal control. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. /s/ LORENZO SIMONELLI Lorenzo Simonelli Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer /s/ BRIAN WORRELL Brian Worrell Chief Financial Officer /s/ KURT CAMILLERI Kurt Camilleri Senior Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer Houston, Texas February 11, 2022 Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 45 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Baker Hughes Company: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Baker Hughes Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three- year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 11, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Revenue recognition on certain agreements for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company enters into agreements for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications on an over time basis. Revenue from these types of contracts is recognized to the extent of progress towards completion measured by actual costs incurred relative to total expected costs. The Company provides for potential losses on these types of contracts when it is probable that a loss will be incurred. We identified revenue recognition for certain contracts from the sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications as a critical audit matter. Complex auditor judgment was required in evaluating the Company's long-term estimates of the expected costs to be incurred in order to complete these contracts. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 46 The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s revenue recognition process for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications. This included controls pertaining to the Company's estimation of costs expected to be incurred to complete contracts for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications. We evaluated the Company's ability to accurately estimate costs expected to be incurred to complete the contracts for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications. We evaluated the estimated costs expected to be incurred to complete the goods manufactured to unique customer specifications for the contracts by: – questioning the Company's finance and project managers regarding progress to date based on the latest project reports and the costs expected to still be incurred until completion; – observing project review meetings performed by the Company or inspecting relevant minutes of those meetings to identify changes in the estimated costs expected to be incurred to complete the contract and related contract margins; – assessing the remaining estimated costs expected to be incurred by expenditure category by comparing to the actual costs incurred during the current year for the selected project; and – investigating changes to the contract margin when compared to the prior year's estimated contract margin. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017. /s/ KPMG LLP Houston, Texas February 11, 2022 Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 47 REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Baker Hughes Company: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Baker Hughes Company and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 11, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes", "the Company", "we", "us", or "our") is an energy technology company with a diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our 88.6% ownership interest in our operating company, Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("BHH LLC"), and certain intercompany and tax related balances. BHH LLC is a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registrant with separate filing requirements with the SEC and its separate financial information can be obtained from www.sec.gov. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S." and such principles, "U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for annual financial information. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baker Hughes and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates which it controls or variable interest entities for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We hold a majority economic interest in BHH LLC and conduct and exercise full control over all activities of BHH LLC without the approval of any other member. Accordingly, we consolidate the financial results of BHH LLC and report a noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements for the economic interest held by GE. As of December 31, 2021, GE's economic interest in BHH LLC was 11.4%. See "Note 14. Equity" for further information. In the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. Certain columns and rows in our financial statements and notes thereto may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty, and accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for credit losses and inventory valuation reserves; recoverability of long-lived assets, including revenue recognition on long-term contracts; valuation of goodwill; useful lives used in depreciation and amortization; income taxes and related valuation allowances; accruals for contingencies; actuarial assumptions to determine costs and liabilities related to employee benefit plans; stock-based compensation expense; valuation of derivatives; and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. Foreign Currency Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar have been translated into U.S. dollars using our period end exchange rates, and revenue, expenses, and cash flows have been Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 54 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements translated at average rates for the respective periods. Any resulting translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables in the non-functional currency and those resulting from remeasurements of monetary items of non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are included in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Revenue from Sale of Equipment Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time We recognize revenue on agreements for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications including long-term construction projects, on an over time basis utilizing cost inputs as the measurement criteria in assessing the progress toward completion. Our estimate of costs to be incurred to fulfill our promise to a customer is based on our history of manufacturing similar assets for customers and is updated routinely to reflect changes in quantity or pricing of the inputs. We begin to recognize revenue on these contracts when the contract specific inventory becomes customized for a customer, which is reflective of our initial transfer of control of the incurred costs. We provide for potential losses on any of these agreements when it is probable that we will incur the loss. Our billing terms for these over time contracts vary, but are generally based on achieving specified milestones. The differences between the timing of our revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to our contract asset or contract liability positions. Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point In Time We recognize revenue for non-customized equipment at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good. Equipment for which we recognize revenue at a point in time include goods we manufacture on a standardized basis for sale to the market. We use proof of delivery for certain large equipment with more complex logistics associated with the shipment, whereas the delivery of other equipment is generally determined based on historical data of transit times between regions. On occasion we sell products with a right of return. We use our accumulated experience to estimate and provide for such returns when we record the sale. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, we recognize revenue when we have concluded that the customer has control of the goods and that acceptance is likely to occur. Our billing terms for these point in time equipment contracts vary, but are generally based on shipment of the goods to the customer. Revenue from Sale of Services Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time We sell product services under long-term product maintenance or extended warranty agreements in our Turbomachinery & Process Solutions and Oilfield Equipment segments. These agreements require us to maintain the customers' assets over the service agreement contract terms, which generally range from 10 to 20 years. In general, these are contractual arrangements to provide services, repairs, and maintenance of a covered unit (gas turbines for mechanical drive or power generation, primarily on LNG applications, drilling rigs). These services are performed at various times during the life of the contract, thus the costs of performing services are incurred on other than a straight-line basis. We recognize related sales based on the extent of our progress toward completion measured by actual costs incurred in relation to total expected costs. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on any of these agreements when that loss is probable. The Company utilizes historical customer data, prior product performance data, statistical analysis, third-party data, and internal management estimates to calculate contract-specific margins. In certain contracts, the total transaction price is variable based on customer utilization, which is excluded from the contract margin until the period that the customer has utilized to appropriately reflect the Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 55 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements revenue activity in the period earned. In addition, revenue for certain oilfield services is recognized on an over time basis as performed. Our billing terms for these contracts are generally based on asset utilization (i.e. usage per hour) or the occurrence of a major maintenance event within the contract. The differences between the timing of our revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to our contract asset or contract liability positions. Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point In Time We sell certain tangible products, largely spare equipment, through our services business. We recognize revenue for this equipment at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is at the point in time we deliver the spare part to the customer. Our billing terms for these point in time service contracts vary, but are generally based on shipment of the goods to the customer. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and relate to the research and development of new products and services. These costs amounted to $492 million, $595 million and $687 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Research and development expenses were reported in cost of goods sold and cost of services sold. Separation Related Separation related costs relate to the ongoing activities for the separation from GE including costs for the build- out of certain information technology infrastructures as a result of the separation. Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less are included in cash equivalents unless designated as available-for-sale and classified as investment securities. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $601 million and $687 million, respectively, of cash held in bank accounts that cannot be released, transferred or otherwise converted into a currency that is regularly transacted internationally, due to lack of market liquidity, capital controls or similar monetary or exchange limitations limiting the flow of capital out of the jurisdiction. These funds are available to fund operations and growth in these jurisdictions and we do not currently anticipate a need to transfer these funds to the U.S. Allowance for Credit Losses We monitor our customers' payment history and current credit worthiness to determine that collectability of the related financial assets are reasonably assured. We also consider the overall business climate in which our customers operate. For accounts receivable, a loss allowance matrix is utilized to measure lifetime expected credit losses. The matrix contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations. Concentration of Credit Risk We grant credit to our customers who primarily operate in the oil and natural gas industry. Although this concentration affects our overall exposure to credit risk, our current receivables are spread over a diverse group of customers across many countries, which mitigates this risk. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions, including monitoring our customers' payment history and current credit worthiness to manage this risk. We do not generally require collateral in support of our current receivables, but we may require payment in advance or security in the form of a letter of credit or a bank guarantee. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 56 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Inventories All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable values and they are measured on a first-in, first- out ("FIFO") basis or average cost basis. As necessary, we record provisions and maintain reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. To determine these reserve amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments. Property, Plant and Equipment ("PP&E") Property, plant and equipment is initially stated at cost and is depreciated over its estimated economic life. Subsequently, property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided by using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the individual assets, and impairment losses. We manufacture a substantial portion of our tools and equipment in our OFS segment and the cost of these items, which includes direct and indirect manufacturing costs, is capitalized in inventory and subsequently moved to PP&E. Other Intangible Assets We amortize the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The cost of intangible assets is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated economic life. Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In these circumstances, they are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment and written down to fair value as required. Refer to the Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets accounting policy. Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill on a qualitative or quantitative basis for each of our reporting units as of July 1, or more frequently when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist at the reporting unit level. When performing the annual impairment test we have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine the existence of events and circumstances that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such a conclusion is reached, we would then be required to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill. However, if the assessment leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then no further assessments are required. A quantitative assessment for the determination of impairment is made by comparing the carrying amount of each reporting unit with its fair value, which is generally calculated using a combination of market, comparable transaction and discounted cash flow approaches. See "Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for further information on valuation methodology and impairment of goodwill. We review PP&E, intangible assets and certain other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets. When testing for impairment, we group our long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset group). The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. Financial Instruments Our financial instruments include cash and equivalents, current receivables, investments, accounts payables, short and long-term debt, and derivative financial instruments. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 57 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements We monitor our exposure to various business risks including commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates and we regularly use derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. At the inception of a new derivative, we designate the derivative as a hedge or we determine the derivative to be undesignated as a hedging instrument. We document the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. We assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item at both the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis. We have a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, our strategy is to have gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts mitigate the foreign currency transaction and translation gains or losses to the extent practical. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from changes in the value of assets (for example, current receivables) and liabilities (for example, current payables) which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity. We record all derivatives as of the end of our reporting period in our consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. For the forward contracts held as undesignated hedging instruments, we record the changes in fair value of the forward contracts in our consolidated statements of income (loss) along with the change in the fair value, related to foreign exchange movements, of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Fair Value Measurements For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: • • • Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. We maintain policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, we perform reviews to assess the reasonableness of the valuations. With regard to Level 3 valuations (including instruments valued by third parties), we perform a variety of procedures to assess the reasonableness of the valuations. Such reviews include an evaluation of instruments whose fair value change exceeds predefined thresholds (and/or does not change) and consider the current interest rate, currency and credit environment, as well as other published data, such as rating agency market reports and current appraisals. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Derivatives When we have Level 1 derivatives, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets, we use closing prices for valuation. The majority of our derivatives are valued using internal models and are included in Level 2. These internal models maximize the use of market observable inputs including interest rate curves and Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 58 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent foreign currency and commodity forward contracts for the Company. Investments in Debt and Equity Securities When available, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities, and they are included in Level 1. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly traded equity securities. For investment securities for which market prices are observable for identical or similar investment securities but not readily accessible for each of those investments individually (that is, it is difficult to obtain pricing information for each individual investment security at the measurement date), we use pricing models that are consistent with what other market participants would use. The inputs and assumptions to the models are derived from market observable sources including: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. Thus, certain securities may not be priced using quoted prices, but rather determined from market observable information. These investments are included in Level 2. When we use valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs we classify the investment securities in Level 3. Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale, equity securities without readily determinable fair value and equity method investments and long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired and the remeasurement of retained investments in formerly consolidated subsidiaries upon a change in control that results in a deconsolidation of a subsidiary, if we sell a controlling interest and retain a noncontrolling stake in the entity. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired and retained investments are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs. Investments in Equity Securities Investments in equity securities (of entities in which we do not have either a controlling financial interest or significant influence, most often because we hold a voting interest of 0% to 20%) with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings and reported in "other non- operating income (loss), net" in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar equity securities of the same issuer. These changes are recorded in "other non-operating income (loss), net" in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Associated companies are entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest, but over which we have significant influence, most often because we hold a voting interest of 20% to 50%. Associated companies are accounted for as equity method investments. The results of associated companies are presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss) as follows: (i) if the associated company is integral to our operations, their results are included in "Selling, general and administrative," and (ii) if the associated company is not integral to our operations, their results are included in "Other non-operating income (loss), net." Investments in, and advances to, associated companies are presented on a one-line basis in the caption "All other assets" in our consolidated statement of financial position. Income Taxes We file U.S. federal and state income tax returns which primarily includes our distributive share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of BHH LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes. As such, BHH LLC will not itself be subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws. Non-U.S. current and deferred income taxes owed by the subsidiaries of BHH LLC are reflected in the financial statements. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 59 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements We account for taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax return bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered, as well as for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. The effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period in which such change is enacted. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not, and a valuation allowance is established for any portion of a deferred tax asset that management believes is not more likely than not to be realized. We provide U.S. deferred taxes on our outside basis difference in our investment in BHH LLC. In determining this outside basis difference, we exclude non-deductible goodwill and the basis difference related to certain foreign corporations owned by BHH LLC where the undistributed earnings of the foreign corporation have been, or will be, reinvested indefinitely. Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management’s judgment and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. In cases where repatriation would incur significant withholding or income taxes, these foreign earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in the Company’s active non-U.S. business operations. Computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and any other basis difference is not practicable. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. Our tax filings are subject to audit by the tax authorities in the jurisdictions where we conduct business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the tax authorities or through the courts. We have provided for the amounts that we believe will ultimately result from these proceedings. We recognize uncertain tax positions that are “more likely than not” to be sustained if the relevant tax authority were to audit the position with full knowledge of all the relevant facts and other information. For those tax positions that meet this threshold, we measure the amount of tax benefit based on the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% chance of being realized in a final settlement with the relevant authority. We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The effects of tax adjustments and settlements from taxing authorities are presented in financial statements in the period they are finalized. Environmental Liabilities We are involved in numerous remediation actions to clean up hazardous waste as required by federal and state laws. Liabilities for remediation costs exclude possible insurance recoveries and, when dates and amounts of such costs are not known, are not discounted. When there appears to be a range of possible costs with equal likelihood, liabilities are based on the low end of such range. It is reasonably possible that our environmental remediation exposure will exceed amounts accrued. However, due to uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites, such amounts are not reasonably estimable. The determination of the required accruals for remediation costs is subject to uncertainty, including the evolving nature of environmental regulations and the difficulty in estimating the extent and type of remediation activity that is necessary. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED New accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

See "Note 20. Restructuring, Impairment and Other" for additional information on property, plant and equipment impairments. NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL The changes in the carrying value of goodwill are detailed below by segment: Oilfield Services Oilfield Equipment Turbo- machinery & Process Solutions Digital Solutions Total Balance at December 31, 2019, gross $ 15,676 $ 4,186 $ 2,171 $ 2,411 $ 24,444 Accumulated impairment at December 31, 2019 Balance at December 31, 2019 Impairment Currency exchange and others Balance at December 31, 2020 Currency exchange and others Balance at December 31, 2021 (2,633) 13,043 (867) 3,319 (11,484) (3,289) (20) 1,539 10 (24) 6 (3) — (254) (3,754) 2,171 2,157 20,690 — 63 — (14,773) 41 60 2,234 2,198 5,977 (62) 37 (18) $ 1,549 $ 3 $ 2,172 $ 2,235 $ 5,959 We perform our annual goodwill impairment test for each of our reporting units as of July 1 of each fiscal year, in conjunction with our annual strategic planning process. Our reporting units are the same as our four reportable segments. We also test goodwill for impairment whenever events or circumstances occur which, in our judgment, could more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or more reporting units below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of our most recent annual or interim impairment testing, in particular the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, if any, and (iii) declines in our market capitalization below our book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, if any. During the third quarter of 2021, we completed our annual impairment test as of July 1 and determined that the fair value was substantially in excess of the carrying value for each reporting unit resulting in no goodwill impairment. Between our annual test date of July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, we did not identify any indicators that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its carrying value. There can be no assurances that future sustained declines in macroeconomic or business conditions affecting our industry will not occur, which could result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 62 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements During the first quarter of 2020, our market capitalization declined significantly. Our closing stock price fell to a historic low of $9.33 on March 23, 2020. Over the same period, the equity value of our peer group companies and the overall U.S. stock market also declined significantly amid market volatility. In addition, the Oilfield Services Index ("OSX"), an indicator of investors’ view of the earnings prospects and cost of capital of the oil and gas services industry, traded at prices that were the lowest in its history. These declines were driven by the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") and other macroeconomic events such as the geopolitical tensions between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and Russia, which also resulted in a significant drop in oil prices. Based on these factors, we concluded that a triggering event occurred and, accordingly, an interim quantitative impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2020. Based upon the results of our interim quantitative impairment test, we concluded that the carrying value of the Oilfield Services and Oilfield Equipment reporting units exceeded their estimated fair value as of March 31, 2020, which resulted in goodwill impairment charges of $11,484 million and $3,289 million, respectively. The goodwill impairment was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including any goodwill, exceeded its fair value.

See "Note 20. Restructuring, Impairment and Other" for further discussion. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 35 years. Amortization expense was $253 million, $308 million and $365 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the subsequent five fiscal years is expected to be as follows: Year 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Estimated Amortization Expense $ 216 204 187 142 95 Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 63 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 7. CONTRACT AND OTHER DEFERRED ASSETS The majority of our long-term product service agreements relate to our Turbomachinery & Process Solutions segment.

BHH LLC will pay interest on each series of Notes semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. These Notes are presented net of issuance costs in our consolidated statements of financial position. On December 9, 2021, BHH LLC issued a notice to redeem the entire principal amount outstanding of its 2.773% Senior Notes due December 2022 ("the 2022 Notes") using the proceeds from the offering of the Notes. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, we incurred a $28 million charge related to the early redemption, which was recorded within "Interest expense, net" in our consolidated statement of income (loss). On January 10, 2022, the 2022 Notes were redeemed using funds irrevocably deposited in trust with the trustee on December 16, 2021.

BHH LLC pays interest on these Senior Notes semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, which began on November 15, 2020. These Senior Notes are presented net of issuance costs in our consolidated statements of financial position. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 66 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The estimated fair value of total borrowings at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7,328 million and $8,502 million, respectively. For a majority of our borrowings the fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices. Where market prices are not available, we estimate fair values based on valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data adjusted for our non-performance risk. Maturities of debt for each of the five years in the period ending December 31, 2026, and in the aggregate thereafter, are listed in the table below: Total debt $ 40 $ 649 $ 151 $ 14 $ 597 $ 5,276 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter BHH LLC has a $3 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility ("the Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in December 2024. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, certain customary affirmative covenants and certain customary negative covenants. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, BHH LLC's obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the Credit Agreement and other customary defaults. No such events of default have occurred. During 2021 and 2020, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. We have a commercial paper program under which we may issue from time to time commercial paper with maturities of no more than 397 days. As a result of the repayment of our commercial paper that matured on April 30, 2021, our authorized commercial paper program was reduced from $3.8 billion to $3 billion. Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. is a co-obligor, jointly and severally with BHH LLC on our long-term debt securities. This co-obligor is a 100%-owned finance subsidiary of BHH LLC that was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as a corporate co-obligor of long-term debt securities and has no assets or operations other than those related to its sole purpose. As of December 31, 2021, Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. is a co-obligor of our long-term debt securities totaling $6,624 million. Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict BHH LLC's ability to take certain actions, including, but not limited to, the creation of certain liens securing debt, the entry into certain sale-leaseback transactions and engaging in certain merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions in excess of specified limits. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. See "Note 18. Related Party Transactions" for additional information on the short-term borrowings with GE. NOTE 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS Certain of our employees are covered by company sponsored pension plans. Our primary pension plans in 2021 included four U.S. plans and seven non-U.S. pension plans, primarily in the UK, Germany, and Canada, all with pension assets or obligations greater than $20 million. We use a December 31 measurement date for these plans. These defined benefit plans generally provide benefits to employees based on formulas recognizing length of service and earnings; however, the majority of these plans are either frozen or closed to new entrants. We also provide certain postretirement health care benefits, through unfunded plans, to a closed group of U.S. employees who retire and meet certain age and service requirements. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation related to these plans was $50 million and $62 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funded Status The funded status position represents the difference between the benefit obligation and the plan assets. The projected benefit obligation ("PBO") for pension benefits represents the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employee services and compensation and includes an assumption about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") is the actuarial present value of pension benefits attributed to employee Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 67 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements service to date at present compensation levels. The ABO differs from the PBO in that the ABO does not include any assumptions about future compensation levels. Below is the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and the funded status of our pension plans. Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Actuarial (gain) loss (1) Benefits paid Curtailments Settlements Other Foreign currency translation adjustments Benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Actual return on plan assets Employer contributions Benefits paid Settlements Foreign currency translation adjustments Fair value of plan assets at end of year Funded status - underfunded at end of year Accumulated benefit obligation Pension Benefits 2021 2020 3,806 $ 27 64 (154) (111) (9) (33) 2 (42) 3,550 3,202 83 28 (111) (33) (22) 3,147 (403) $ 3,451 27 77 393 (101) (3) (79) 1 40 3,806 3,004 347 20 (101) (79) 11 3,202 (604) 3,497 $ 3,755 $ $ $ (1) The actuarial (gain) loss was primarily related to a change in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation for our plans in 2021 and 2020.

In order to meet a portion of our obligations of the BH SPP, we have established a trust comprised primarily of mutual fund assets. The value of these assets were $45 million and $44 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These assets are not included as plan assets or in the funded status amounts in the tables above and below. Net Periodic Cost The components of net periodic cost are as follows: Service cost Interest cost Expected return on plan assets Amortization of prior service credit Amortization of net actuarial loss Curtailment / settlement loss Net periodic cost Pension Benefits 2021 2020 2019 $ $ 27 $ 64 (130) 1 40 2 4 $ 27 $ 77 (121) 1 34 10 28 $ 21 90 (122) 1 17 9 16 The service cost component of the net periodic cost is included in "operating income (loss)" and all other components are included in "Other non-operating income (loss), net" caption of the consolidated statements of income (loss). Assumptions Used in Benefit Calculations Accounting requirements necessitate the use of assumptions to reflect the uncertainties and the length of time over which the pension obligations will be paid. The actual amount of future benefit payments will depend upon when participants retire, the amount of their benefit at retirement and how long they live. To reflect the obligation in today’s dollars, we discount the future payments using a rate that matches the time frame over which the payments are expected to be made. We also need to assume a long-term rate of return that will be earned on investments used to fund these payments. Another assumption used is the interest crediting rate for our U.S. qualified cash balance plan. Under the provisions of this pension plan, a hypothetical cash balance account has been established for each participant. Such accounts receive quarterly interest credits based on a prescribed formula. Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations for these plans are as follows: Discount rate Rate of compensation increase Interest crediting rate Pension Benefits 2021 2020 2.15 % 3.21 % 2.60 % 1.66 % 3.25 % 2.60 % Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 69 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic cost for these plans are as follows: Discount rate Expected long-term return on plan assets Interest crediting rate Pension Benefits 2021 2020 2019 1.66 % 4.07 % 2.60 % 2.34 % 4.20 % 2.60 % 3.43 % 5.48 % 3.15 % We determine the discount rate using a bond matching model, whereby the weighted average yields on high- quality fixed-income securities have maturities consistent with the timing of benefit payments. Lower discount rates increase the size of the benefit obligations and pension expense in the following year; higher discount rates reduce the size of the benefit obligation and subsequent-year pension expense. The compensation assumption is used in our active plans to estimate the annual rate at which the pay for plan participants will grow. If the rate of growth assumed increases, the size of the pension obligations will increase. The expected return on plan assets is the estimated long-term rate of return that will be earned on the investments used to fund the pension obligations. To determine this rate, we consider the current and target composition of plan investments, our historical returns earned, and our expectations about the future. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The amount recorded before-tax in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to our pension plans consists of the following at December 31: Net actuarial loss Net prior service cost Total Plan Assets Pension Benefits 2021 2020 $ $ 365 $ 17 382 $ 527 18 545 We have investment committees that meet regularly to review portfolio returns and to determine asset-mix targets based on asset/liability studies. Third-party investment consultants assist these committees in developing asset allocation strategies to determine our expected rates of return and expected risk for various investment portfolios. The investment committees considered these strategies in the formal establishment of the current asset- mix targets based on the projected risk and return levels for all major asset classes.

Those investments that were measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient were excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The practical expedient was not applied for investments with a fair value of $119 million and $130 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were investments classified within Level 3 of $112 million and $120 million for non U.S. insurance contracts as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funding Policy The funding policy for our Pension Benefits is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as we may determine to be appropriate. In 2021, we contributed approximately $28 million. We anticipate we will contribute between approximately $30 million to $35 million to our pension plans in 2022. The following table presents the expected benefit payments for Pension Benefits over the next 10 years. For company sponsored pension plans, the benefit payments are made by the respective pension trust funds. Year 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027-2031 $ Pension Benefits 161 132 135 137 142 744 DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS Our primary defined contribution plan during 2021 was the Company-sponsored U.S. 401(k) plan ("401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees to contribute portions of their eligible compensation to an investment trust. The Company matches employee contributions at the rate of $1.00 per $1.00 employee contribution for the first 5% of the employee's eligible compensation, and such contributions vest immediately. In Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 71 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements addition, we make cash contributions for all eligible employees of 4% of their eligible compensation and such contributions are fully vested after three years of employment. The 401(k) Plan provides several investment options, for which the employee has sole investment discretion; however, the 401(k) Plan does not offer the Company's common stock as an investment option. Our costs for the 401(k) Plan and several other U.S. and non- U.S. defined contribution plans amounted to $194 million and $236 million, in 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have two non-qualified defined contribution plans that are invested through trusts. The assets and corresponding liabilities were $322 million and $314 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in the captions "All other assets" and "Liabilities for pensions and other postretirement benefits," respectively, in our consolidated statements of financial position. NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., contained measures to assist companies, including allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019, or 2020 to be carried back up to five years. During 2020, we elected to carry back losses to 2014 and accordingly recognized a $117 million tax benefit. As of December 31, 2021, we have received the cash refunds related to that benefit. The provision for income taxes is comprised of the following: Current: U.S. Foreign Total current Deferred: U.S. Foreign Total deferred Provision for income taxes 2021 2020 2019 $ $ 11 $ 614 625 (24) 157 133 758 $ (59) $ 458 399 11 149 160 559 $ (12) 443 431 (12) 63 51 482 The geographic sources of income (loss) before income taxes are as follows: U.S. Foreign Income (loss) before income taxes 2021 2020 2019 $ $ (724) $ 1,152 428 $ (14,288) $ (914) (15,202) $ (693) 1,446 753 Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 72 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory income tax rate to the loss or income before income taxes for the reasons set forth below for the years ended December 31: Income (loss) before income taxes Taxes at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate Impact of goodwill impairment Effect of foreign operations Tax expense (benefit) due to unrecognized tax benefits (1) Tax impact of partnership structure Change in valuation allowances CARES Act Other - net Provision for income taxes Actual income tax rate 2021 $ 428 $ 2020 (15,202) $ 90 — 216 201 137 70 — 44 $ 758 $ (3,192) 3,102 148 35 (33) 494 (117) 122 559 $ 2019 753 158 — 84 (24) 17 241 — 6 482 177.1 % (3.7) % 64.0 % (1) For December 31, 2021, $119 million of this amount is indemnified under the Tax Matters Agreement with GE. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The tax effects of our temporary differences and carryforwards are as follows at December 31: Deferred tax assets: Operating loss carryforwards Tax credit carryforwards Investment in partnership Property Employee benefits Goodwill and other intangibles Receivables Inventory Other Total deferred income tax asset Valuation allowances Total deferred income tax asset after valuation allowance Deferred tax liabilities: Other Total deferred income tax liability Net deferred tax asset 2021 2020 $ $ 2,255 $ 1,183 457 156 116 97 72 61 153 4,550 (3,928) 622 (14) (14) 608 $ 2,249 1,083 160 127 138 143 53 51 264 4,268 (3,472) 796 (29) (29) 767 At December 31, 2021, we had approximately $419 million of non-U.S. tax credits which may be carried forward indefinitely under applicable foreign law, $563 million of U.S. foreign tax credits and $201 million of other U.S. credits, the majority of which will expire after tax year 2027 under U.S. tax law. Additionally, we had $2,255 million of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), of which approximately $321 million will expire within five years, $479 million will expire between 6 years and 20 years, and the remainder can be carried forward indefinitely. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 73 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. At December 31, 2021, $3,928 million of valuation allowances are recorded against various deferred tax assets, including foreign NOLs of $1,687 million, U.S. NOLs of $220 million, U.S. foreign and non-U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $979 million, other tax credit carryforwards of $191 million, and certain other U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets of $851 million. There are $348 million of deferred tax assets related primarily to foreign NOLs without a valuation allowance as we expect that the deferred tax assets will be realized within the carryforward period. Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management’s intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. In cases where repatriation would otherwise incur significant withholding or income taxes, these earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in the Company's active non-U.S. business operations. As of December 31, 2021, the cumulative amount of undistributed foreign earnings is approximately $4.4 billion. Computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and any other basis differences is not practicable. At December 31, 2021, we had $531 million of tax liabilities for total gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. In addition to these uncertain tax positions, we had $153 million and $49 million related to interest and penalties, respectively, for total liabilities of $733 million for uncertain positions. If we were to prevail on all uncertain positions, the net effect would result in an income tax benefit of approximately $646 million. The remaining $87 million is comprised of $63 million for deferred tax assets that represent tax benefits that would be received in different taxing jurisdictions or in a different character and $24 million increased valuation allowances. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $170 million and $53 million, respectively, of current receivables related to uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties of $87 million and $25 million, respectively, that are indemnified pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement with GE. The following table presents the changes in our gross unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated statements of financial position. Asset / (Liability) Balance at beginning of year Additions for tax positions of the current year Additions for tax positions of prior years Reductions for tax positions of prior years Settlements with tax authorities Lapse of statute of limitations Balance at end of year $ 2021 2020 (483) $ (32) (166) 42 95 13 (451) (71) (31) 35 12 23 $ (531) $ (483) It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months due to expiring statutes, audit activity, tax payments, and competent authority proceedings related to transfer pricing or final decisions in matters that are the subject of litigation in various taxing jurisdictions in which we operate. At December 31, 2021, we had approximately $63 million of tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions, each of which are individually insignificant, and each of which are reasonably possible of being settled within the next twelve months. We conduct business in more than 120 countries and are subject to income taxes in most taxing jurisdictions in which we operate, each of which may have multiple open years subject to examination. All Internal Revenue Service examinations have been completed and closed through 2016 for the most significant U.S. returns. We believe that we have made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 74 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has a 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTI Plan") under which we may grant restricted stock units ("RSU"), performance share units ("PSU"), stock options and other equity-based awards to employees and non-employee directors providing services to the Company and our subsidiaries. A total of up to 29.5 million shares of Class A common stock are reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the LTI Plan over its term which expires on the date of the annual meeting of the Company in 2031. A total of 31.7 million shares of Class A common stock are available for issuance as of December 31, 2021. This amount includes 29.2 million shares remaining from the initial reserve and 2.5 million shares added due to forfeitures, cancellations, and shares withheld to pay the employee's taxes, subject to the adjustments as provided in the LTI Plan. Stock-based compensation cost was $205 million, $210 million and $187 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recorded a tax benefit of approximately $16 million in 2021 on our stock-based compensation cost. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant based on the calculated fair value of the award and is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the equity grant. The compensation cost is determined based on awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore, we have reduced the cost for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. There were no stock- based compensation costs capitalized as the amounts were not material. Restricted Stock We may grant to our officers, directors and key employees restricted stock units ("RSU"), where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a stipulated period, one unrestricted share of stock with no exercise price. Certain RSUs are subject to cliff or graded vesting, generally ranging over a period of 3 years, or over a one year period for non-employee directors. Cash dividend equivalents are accumulated on RSUs and are payable upon vesting of the awards. We determine the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The following table presents the changes in RSUs outstanding and related information (in thousands, except per unit prices): Unvested balance at December 31, 2020 Granted Vested Forfeited Unvested balance at December 31, 2021 Number of Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit 14,292 $ 9,357 (6,439) (1,175) 16,035 $ 23.70 20.64 25.10 21.98 21.50 In 2021, the total intrinsic value of RSUs vested (defined as the value of shares awarded based on the price of our common stock at vesting date) was $141 million and unvested RSUs was $386 million. The total grant date fair value of RSUs vested in 2021 was $162 million. As of December 31, 2021, there was $185 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.86 years. Performance Share Units We may grant performance share units ("PSUs") to certain officers and key employees. The PSUs are stock- based awards tied to predefined company metrics and total shareholder return ("TSR"). PSUs generally cliff vest after a service period of 3 years. Cash dividend equivalents are accumulated on certain PSUs and are payable upon vesting of the awards. The fair value of the awards determined for the predefined company metrics are based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the TSR awards are determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation method. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 75 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table presents the changes in PSUs outstanding and related information (in thousands, except per unit prices): Unvested balance at December 31, 2020 Granted Vested Forfeited Unvested balance at December 31, 2021 Number of Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit 3,161 $ 1,352 (637) (174) 3,702 $ 25.39 22.14 35.16 24.43 22.57 The total intrinsic value of PSUs vested and unvested, (defined as the value of the shares awarded at the year- end market price) was $15 million and $89 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The total grant date fair value of PSUs vested in 2021 was $22 million. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.95 years, was $35 million as of December 31, 2021. Stock Options We previously granted stock options to our officers, directors and key employees. Stock options generally vest in equal amounts over a vesting period of 3 years provided that the employee has remained continuously employed by the Company through such vesting date. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Our 2019 option assumptions were as follows: expected life - 6 years, risk free interest rate - 2.6%, volatility - 36.5%, dividend yield - 3.1%, and the weighted average fair value per share at grant date was $6.37. We have not granted stock options to officers, directors, or key employees since 2019. The following table presents the changes in stock options outstanding and related information (in thousands, except per option prices): Outstanding at December 31, 2020 Exercised Forfeited Expired Outstanding at December 31, 2021 Exercisable at December 31, 2021 Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option 7,285 $ (438) (11) (1,587) 5,249 $ 4,719 $ 32.63 22.48 26.42 40.13 31.25 32.18 The weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2021 were 4.4 years and 4.1 years, respectively. The maximum contractual term of options outstanding is 7.1 years. There were 850 thousand, 1,553 thousand and 867 thousand options that vested in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total fair value of options vested was $7 million, $14 million and $10 million, in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was immaterial as of December 31, 2021. Generally, all stock options outstanding will be fully vested and exercisable by the end of the first quarter of 2022. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised (defined as the amount by which the market price of our common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the option) in 2021 was $1 million. The total intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2021 was $2 million. The Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 76 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements intrinsic value of stock options outstanding is calculated as the amount by which the quoted price of $24.06 of our common stock as of the end of 2021 exceeds the exercise price of the options. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") provides for eligible employees to purchase shares of Class A common stock quarterly on an after-tax basis in an amount between 1% and 20% of their annual pay on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year at a 15% discount of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. An employee may not purchase more than $3,000 in any of the three-month measurement periods described above or $12,000 annually. A total of 21.5 million shares of Class A common stock are authorized for issuance, and at December 31, 2021, there were 12.5 million shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance. NOTE 14. EQUITY COMMON STOCK We are authorized to issue 2 billion shares of Class A common stock, 1.25 billion shares of Class B common stock and 50 million shares of preferred stock each of which have a par value of $0.0001 per share. The number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021 is 909 million and 117 million, respectively. We have not issued any preferred stock. GE owns all the issued and outstanding Class B common stock. Each share of Class A and Class B common stock and the associated membership interest in BHH LLC form a paired interest. While each share of Class B common stock has equal voting rights to a share of Class A common stock, it has no economic rights, meaning holders of Class B common stock have no right to dividends and any assets in the event of liquidation of the Company. GE is entitled through BHH LLC Units ("LLC Units") to receive distributions on an equal per share amount of any dividend paid by the Company. In 2020, GE launched a program to divest of its ownership interest in us, at its discretion, in a series of transactions over approximately three years, subject to market conditions and other factors. As of December 31, 2021, GE’s economic interest in BHH LLC was 11.4%. In 2021, our Board of Directors authorized each of the Company and BHH LLC to repurchase up to $2 billion of its Class A common stock and LLC Units, respectively. We expect to fund the repurchase program from cash generated from operations, and we expect to make share repurchases from time to time subject to the Company's capital plan, market conditions, and other factors, including regulatory restrictions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. In 2021, the Company and BHH LLC repurchased and canceled 17.6 million shares of Class A common stock and LLC Units, respectively, each for $434 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company and BHH LLC had authorization remaining to repurchase up to approximately $1.6 billion of its Class A common stock and LLC Units, respectively.

Employee Benefit Plans" for additional details), and (iii) the release of foreign currency translation adjustments for certain restructured product lines (see "Note 20. Restructuring, Impairment and Other" for additional details). NONCONTROLLING INTEREST Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated entities that are not owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, GE owned approximately 11.4% and 30.1%, respectively, of BHH LLC and this represents the majority of the noncontrolling interest balance reported within equity.

As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted EPS of Class B under the two class method has not been presented. The basic weighted average shares outstanding for our Class B common stock were 215 million, 359 million, and 479 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The basic weighted average shares outstanding for both our Class A and Class B common stock combined were 1,039 million, 1,034 million, and 1,034 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Under the Exchange Agreement between GE and us, GE is entitled to exchange its holding in our Class B common stock, and associated LLC Units, for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement) or, at the option of Baker Hughes, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate value (determined in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement) of the shares of Class A common stock that would have otherwise been received by GE in the exchange. In computing the dilutive effect, if any, that the aforementioned exchange would have on net income (loss) per share, net income (loss) attributable to holders of Class A common stock would be adjusted due to the elimination of the noncontrolling interests associated with the Class B common stock (including any tax impact). For the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, such exchange is not reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share as the assumed exchange is not dilutive. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 79 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we excluded all outstanding equity awards from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect is antidilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Class A diluted shares included the dilutive impact of equity awards except for approximately 6 million options that were excluded because the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Class A common stock and is therefore antidilutive.

(2) Gains (losses) recorded to earnings related to these securities were $(843) million, $1.4 billion and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, our equity securities with readily determinable fair values are comprised primarily of our investment in C3.ai, Inc. ("C3 AI") of $270 million and ADNOC Drilling of $741 million. As of December 31, 2020, our equity securities with readily determinable fair values are comprised primarily of our investment in C3 AI of $1,500 million. We measured our investments to fair value based on quoted prices in active markets. During 2021, we sold approximately 2.2 million of our C3 AI shares and received proceeds of $145 million. At December 31, 2021, our investment in C3 AI consists of 8,650,476 shares. For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a loss of $1,085 million and a gain of $1,417 million, respectively, from the net change in fair value of our investment in C3 AI, which is reported in “Other non-operating income (loss), net” in our consolidated statements of income (loss). See “Note 18. Related Party Transactions” for further details on our agreements with C3 AI. Our original investment in ADNOC Drilling from 2018 consists of a five percent investment, or $500 million, and did not have a recurring readily determinable fair value until October 4, 2021 when ADNOC Drilling became publicly traded, at which point the investment was transferred to investment securities with a readily determinable fair value. At December 31, 2021, our investment in ADNOC Drilling consists of 800,000,000 shares. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a gain of $241 million from the net change in fair value of our investment in ADNOC Drilling, which is reported in “Other non-operating income (loss), net” in our consolidated statements of income (loss). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $1,041 million and $1,514 million of total investment securities are recorded in "All other current assets" and nil and $18 million are recorded in "All other assets" of the consolidated statements of financial position, respectively. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Our financial instruments include cash and equivalents, current receivables, investments, accounts payable, short and long-term debt, and derivative financial instruments. Except for long-term debt, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments at December 31, 2021 and 2020 approximates their carrying value as reflected in our consolidated financial statements. For further information on the fair value of our debt, see "Note 10. Borrowings." Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 81 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING We use derivatives to manage our risks and do not use derivatives for speculation. The table below summarizes the fair value of all derivatives, including hedging instruments and embedded derivatives. 2021 2020 Assets (Liabilities) Assets (Liabilities) Derivatives accounted for as hedges Currency exchange contracts Interest rate swap contracts Derivatives not accounted for as hedges Currency exchange contracts and other Total derivatives $ $ — $ — 29 29 $ (3) $ (10) (36) (49) $ 5 $ — 113 118 $ — — (52) (52) Derivatives are classified in the consolidated statements of financial position depending on their respective maturity date. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $28 million and $115 million of derivative assets are recorded in "All other current assets" and $1 million and $3 million are recorded in "All other assets" of the consolidated statements of financial position, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $39 million and $48 million of derivative liabilities are recorded in "All other current liabilities" and $10 million and $4 million are recorded in "All other liabilities" of the consolidated statements of financial position, respectively. FORMS OF HEDGING Cash flow hedges We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, the vast majority of our derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in a separate component of equity (referred to as "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", or "AOCI") and are recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs. See "Note 14. Equity" for further information on activity in AOCI for cash flow hedges. The maximum term of cash flow hedges that hedge forecasted transactions was one year at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Fair Value Hedges All of our long-term debt is comprised of fixed rate instruments. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt portfolio and may use interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of fixed rate obligations associated with certain debt. Under these arrangements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. As of December 31, 2021, we had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500 million that converted a portion of our $1,350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.337% fixed rate Senior Notes due 2027 into a floating rate instrument with an interest rate based on a LIBOR index as a hedge of its exposure to changes in fair value that are attributable to interest rate risk. We concluded that the interest rate swap met the criteria necessary to qualify for the short-cut method of hedge accounting, and as such, an assumption is made that the change in the fair value of the hedged debt, due to changes in the benchmark rate, exactly offsets the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps. Therefore, the derivative is considered to be effective at achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged liability, and no ineffectiveness is recognized. The mark-to-market of this fair value hedge is recorded as gains or losses in interest expense and is equally offset by the gain or loss of the underlying debt instrument, which also is recorded in interest expense. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 82 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Economic Hedges These derivatives are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint (and therefore we do not apply hedge accounting to the relationship) but otherwise serve the same economic purpose as other hedging arrangements. Economic hedges are marked to fair value through earnings each period. The following table summarizes the gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedges in the consolidated statements of income (loss): Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Consolidated statement of income caption 2021 2020 2019 Currency exchange contracts (1) Cost of goods sold Currency exchange contracts Cost of services sold Commodity derivatives Cost of goods sold Other derivatives Total (2) Other non-operating income (loss), net $ $ (9) $ 5 1 — (3) $ 59 $ 62 2 8 (13) (15) 2 2 131 $ (24) (1) Excludes gains of $7 million and losses of $14 million and $7 million on embedded derivatives for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as embedded derivatives are not considered to be hedging instruments in our economic hedges. (2) The effect on earnings of derivatives not designated as hedges is substantially offset by the change in fair value of the economically hedged items in the current and future periods. NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES The notional amount of a derivative is the number of units of the underlying. A substantial majority of the outstanding notional amount of $3.9 billion and $7.0 billion at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is related to hedges of anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currency, commodity purchases, changes in interest rates, and contractual terms in contracts that are considered embedded derivatives and for intercompany borrowings in foreign currencies. We generally disclose derivative notional amounts on a gross basis to indicate the total counterparty risk. Where we have gross purchase and sale derivative contracts for a particular currency, we look to execute these contracts with the same counterparty to reduce our exposure. The notional amount of these derivative instruments do not generally represent cash amounts exchanged by us and the counterparties, but rather the nominal amount upon which changes in the value of the derivatives are measured. COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK Fair values of our derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. OTHER EQUITY INVESTMENTS As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying amount of equity securities without readily determinable fair values was $56 million and $554 million, respectively. These investments are recorded in "All other assets" of the consolidated statements of financial position. Our balance as of December 31, 2020 included $500 million related to our five percent investment in ADNOC Drilling.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, GE’s voting power of our outstanding common stock, which includes both Class A and B common stock, fell below 20%, which terminated GE’s right to designate one person for nomination to our Board of Directors. Our Conflicts Committee waived the obligation of the GE designee serving on our Board of Directors to deliver his resignation and such designee will therefore continue as a member of the Board of Directors but not as a designee of GE. At December 31, 2021, GE's economic interest in BHH LLC through their ownership of Class B common stock and associated LLC Units was 11.4%. The Aero JV is jointly controlled by GE and us, and therefore, we do not consolidate the JV. We had purchases with GE and its affiliates, including the Aero JV, of $1,319 million, $1,446 million and $1,498 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, we sold products and services to GE and its affiliates for $191 million, $216 million and $337 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has $278 million and $356 million of accounts payable and $481 million and $429 million of current receivables at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for goods and services provided by, or to, GE in Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 86 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements the ordinary course of business and includes amounts owed to, or from, GE for certain tax matters indemnified pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement. We had a promissory note with GE that represented certain cash that we were holding on GE's behalf due to the restricted nature of the cash. During 2021, the promissory note was repaid in full. As of December 31, 2020, of the $45 million due to GE, $44 million was held in the form of cash and $1 million was held in the form of investment securities. A corresponding liability was reported in short-term debt in the consolidated statements of financial position. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH C3 AI The Company has agreements with C3 AI under which, among other things, we received a subscription (which we refer to below as "direct subscription fees") to use certain C3 AI offerings for internal use and the development of applications on the C3 AI Suite, as well as the right to resell C3 AI offerings worldwide on an exclusive basis in the oil and gas market and, with C3 AI's prior consent, non-exclusively in other markets, in each case subject to certain exceptions and conditions. The Company and C3 AI revised these agreements in October 2021. As part of these revisions, the Company and C3 AI agreed to extend the term by an additional year with an expiration date of April 30, 2025, and to modify the amount of the Company's revenue commitments to $85 million in 2023, $110 million in 2024, and $125 million in 2025, which includes the Company's direct subscription fees. These annual commitments will be reduced by any revenue that we generate from certain customers. We have exceeded the annual minimum revenue commitments for each of C3 AI's fiscal years through 2022. Lorenzo Simonelli, Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes, served as a member of the board of directors of C3 AI until December 17, 2021. See “Note 16. Financial Instruments” for further discussion of our investment in C3 AI. NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Because legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters. We record a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on the opinion of management, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. In January 2013, INEOS and Naphtachimie initiated expertise proceedings in Aix-en-Provence, France arising out of a fire at a chemical plant owned by INEOS in Lavera, France, which resulted in a 15-day plant shutdown and destruction of a steam turbine, which was part of a compressor train owned by Naphtachimie. The most recent quantification of the alleged damages is €250 million. Two of the Company's subsidiaries (and 17 other companies) were notified to participate in the proceedings. The proceedings are ongoing, and at this time, there is no indication that the Company's subsidiaries were involved in the incident. Although the outcome of the claims remains uncertain, our insurer has accepted coverage and is defending the Company in the expertise proceeding. On July 31, 2018, International Engineering & Construction S.A. ("IEC") initiated arbitration proceedings in New York administered by the International Center for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") against the Company and its subsidiaries arising out of a series of sales and service contracts entered between IEC and the Company’s subsidiaries for the sale and installation of LNG plants and related power generation equipment in Nigeria ("Contracts"). Prior to the filing of the IEC Arbitration, the Company’s subsidiaries made demands for payment due under the Contracts. On August 15, 2018, the Company’s subsidiaries initiated a separate demand for ICDR arbitration against IEC for claims of additional costs and amounts due under the Contracts. On October 10, 2018, IEC filed a Petition to Compel Arbitration in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company seeking to compel non-signatory Baker Hughes entities to participate in the arbitration filed by IEC. The complaint is captioned International Engineering & Construction S.A. et al. v. Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC, et al. No. 18-cv-09241 ("S.D.N.Y 2018"); this action was dismissed by the Court on August 13, 2019. In the arbitration, IEC alleges breach of contract and other claims against the Company and its subsidiaries and seeks recovery of alleged compensatory damages, in addition to reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 87 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements arbitration costs. On March 15, 2019, IEC amended its request for arbitration to alleged damages of $591 million of lost profits plus unspecified additional costs based on alleged non-performance of the contracts in dispute. The arbitration hearing was held from December 9, 2019 to December 20, 2019. On March 3, 2020, IEC amended their damages claim to $700 million of alleged loss cash flow or, in the alternative, $244.9 million of lost profits and various costs based on alleged non-performance of the contracts in dispute, and in addition $4.8 million of liquidated damages, $58.6 million in take-or-pay costs of feed gas, and unspecified additional costs of rectification and take-or-pay future obligations, plus unspecified interest and attorneys' fees. On May 3, 2020, the arbitration panel dismissed IEC's request for take-or-pay damages. On May 29, 2020, IEC quantified their claim for legal fees at $14.2 million and reduced their alternative claim from $244.9 million to approximately $235 million. The Company and its subsidiaries have contested IEC’s claims and are pursuing claims for compensation under the contracts. On October 31, 2020, the ICDR notified the arbitration panel’s final award, which dismissed the majority of IEC’s claims and awarded a portion of the Company’s claims. On January 27, 2021, IEC filed a petition to vacate the arbitral award in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. On March 5, 2021, the Company filed a petition to confirm the arbitral award, and on March 8, 2021, the Company removed the matter to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On November 16, 2021, the court granted the Company's petition to confirm the award and denied IEC's petition to vacate. On February 3, 2022, IEC initiated another arbitration proceeding in New York administered by the ICDR against certain of the Company’s subsidiaries arising out of the same project which formed the basis of the first arbitration. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this proceeding. On March 15, 2019 and March 18, 2019, the City of Riviera Beach Pension Fund and Richard Schippnick, respectively, filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery shareholder derivative lawsuits for and on the Company’s behalf against GE, the then-current members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant, related to the decision to (i) terminate the contractual prohibition barring GE from selling any of the Company’s shares before July 3, 2019; (ii) repurchase $1.5 billion in the Company’s stock from GE; (iii) permit GE to sell approximately $2.5 billion in the Company’s stock through a secondary offering; and (iv) enter into a series of other agreements and amendments that will govern the ongoing relationship between the Company and GE (collectively, the “2018 Transactions”). The complaints in both lawsuits allege, among other things, that GE, as the Company’s controlling stockholder, and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by entering into the 2018 Transactions. The relief sought in the complaints includes a request for a declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties, that GE was unjustly enriched, disgorgement of profits, an award of damages sustained by the Company, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On March 21, 2019, the Chancery Court entered an order consolidating the Schippnick and City of Riviera Beach complaints under consolidated C.A. No. 2019-0201-AGB, styled in re Baker Hughes, a GE company derivative litigation. On May 10, 2019, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against the members of the Company’s Conflicts Committee, and on May 15, 2019, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against former Baker Hughes director Martin Craighead. On June 7, 2019, the defendants and nominal defendant filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the ground that the derivative plaintiffs failed to make a demand on the Company’s Board of Directors to pursue the claims itself, and GE and the Company’s Board of Directors filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim on which relief can be granted. The Chancery Court denied the motions on October 8, 2019, except granted GE’s motion to dismiss the unjust enrichment claim against it. On October 31, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors designated a Special Litigation Committee and empowered it with full authority to investigate and evaluate the allegations and issues raised in the derivative litigation. The Special Litigation Committee filed a motion to stay the derivative litigation during its investigation. On December 3, 2019, the Chancery Court granted the motion and stayed the derivative litigation until June 1, 2020. On May 20, 2020, the Chancery Court granted an extension of the stay to October 1, 2020, and on September 29, 2020, the Court granted a further extension of the stay to October 15, 2020. On October 13, 2020, the Special Litigation Committee filed its report with the Court. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims. On August 13, 2019, Tri-State Joint Fund filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, a shareholder class action lawsuit for and on the behalf of itself and all similarly situated public stockholders of Baker Hughes Incorporated ("BHI") against the General Electric Company ("GE"), the former members of the Board of Directors of BHI, and certain former BHI Officers alleging breaches of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting, and other claims in connection with the combination of BHI and the oil and gas business ("GE O&G") of GE ("the Transactions"). On October 28, 2019, City of Providence filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery a shareholder class action lawsuit for and on Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 88 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements behalf of itself and all similarly situated public shareholders of BHI against GE, the former members of the Board of Directors of BHI, and certain former BHI Officers alleging substantially the same claims in connection with the Transactions. The relief sought in these complaints include a request for a declaration that Defendants breached their fiduciary duties, an award of damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The lawsuits have been consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint on December 17, 2019 against certain former BHI officers alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and against GE for aiding and abetting those breaches. The December 2019 complaint omitted the former members of the Board of Directors of BHI, except for Mr. Craighead who also served as President and CEO of BHI. Mr. Craighead and Ms. Ross, who served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of BHI, remain named in the December 2019 complaint along with GE. The relief sought in the consolidated complaint includes a declaration that the former BHI officers breached their fiduciary duties and that GE aided and abetted those breaches, an award of damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On or around February 12, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that the complaint failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted. On or around October 27, 2020, the Chancery Court granted GE’s motion to dismiss, and granted in part the motion to dismiss filed by Mr. Craighead and Ms. Ross, thereby dismissing all of the claims against GE and Ms. Ross, and all but one of the claims against Mr. Craighead. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of the remaining claim. On December 11, 2019, BMC Software, Inc. (“BMC”) filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of Texas against Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC alleging trademark infringement, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment, arising out of the Company’s use of its new logo and affiliated branding. On January 1, 2020, BMC amended its complaint to add Baker Hughes Company. The relief sought in the complaint includes a request for injunctive relief, an award of damages (including punitive damages), pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims. In December 2020, the Company received notice that the SEC is conducting a formal investigation that the Company understands is related to its books and records and internal controls regarding sales of its products and services in projects impacted by U.S. sanctions. The Company is cooperating with the SEC and providing requested information. The Company has also initiated an internal review with the assistance of external legal counsel regarding internal controls and compliance related to U.S. sanctions requirements. While the Company's review remains ongoing, in September 2021, the Company voluntarily informed the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") that non-U.S. Baker Hughes affiliates in two foreign countries appear to have received payments, involving U.S. touchpoints, that are subject to debt restrictions pursuant to applicable U.S. sanctions laws. Although the value of the payments in connection with the identified transactions is immaterial, the Company is unable to determine at this time if any remedial or other actions may be taken by OFAC. The Company provided a copy of the letter to the SEC, and, as the SEC investigation is ongoing, the Company cannot anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of the investigation or review, financial or otherwise. We insure against risks arising from our business to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending or future legal proceedings or other claims. Most of our insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is our policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. The Company uses a threshold of $1 million for such proceedings. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose for this period. Estimated remediation costs are accrued using currently available facts, existing environmental permits, technology and enacted laws and regulations. Our cost estimates are developed based on internal evaluations and are not discounted. Accruals are recorded when it is probable that we will be obligated to pay for environmental site evaluation, remediation or related activities, and such costs can be reasonably estimated. As additional information Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 89 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements becomes available, accruals are adjusted to reflect current cost estimates. Ongoing environmental compliance costs, such as obtaining or renewing environmental permits, installation of pollution control equipment and waste disposal are expensed as incurred. Where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party in a U.S. federal or state Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") site, we accrue our share, if known, of the estimated remediation costs of the site. This share is based on the ratio of the estimated volume of waste we contributed to the site to the total volume of waste disposed at the site. OTHER In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, letters of credit and other bank issued guarantees. We also provide guarantees to GE Capital on behalf of a customer who has entered into financing arrangements with GE Capital. Total off-balance sheet arrangements were approximately $4.5 billion at December 31, 2021. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We also had commitments outstanding for purchase obligations for each of the five years in the period ending December 31, 2026 of $1,304 million, $119 million, $127 million, $46 million and $40 million, respectively, and $65 million in the aggregate thereafter. We sometimes enter into consortium or similar arrangements for certain projects primarily in our Oilfield Equipment segment. Under such arrangements, each party is responsible for performing a certain scope of work within the total scope of the contracted work, and the obligations expire when all contractual obligations are completed. The failure or inability, financially or otherwise, of any of the parties to perform their obligations could impose additional costs and obligations on us. These factors could result in unanticipated costs to complete the project, liquidated damages or contract disputes. NOTE 20. RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER In 2021, we recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges totaling $209 million. Charges incurred are primarily related to the continuation of our overall strategy to restructure our business, which is designed to optimize our structural costs for the year-over-year change in activity levels and market conditions. In 2020, in response to the impact on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in oil and gas prices, we recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges totaling $1,866 million, and inventory impairments of $246 million, see "Note 4. Inventories" for further discussion. Charges incurred are primarily related to rationalizing certain product lines and restructuring our business to right-size our operations and to address the challenging market conditions in the upstream oil and gas market. In 2019, we recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges of $342 million. Charges incurred are primarily related to the consolidation of certain manufacturing and service facilities and reduction in headcount across various functions. Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 90 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT The following table presents the restructuring and impairment charges by the impacted segment, however, these charges are not included in the reported segment results. Oilfield Services Oilfield Equipment Turbomachinery & Process Solutions Digital Solutions Corporate Total 2021 2020 2019 $ $ 121 $ — 9 2 6 138 $ 675 $ 125 35 54 14 903 $ 211 18 48 15 22 314 Restructuring and impairment charges were primarily related to employee termination expenses from reducing our headcount in certain geographical locations, and product line rationalization, including facility closures and related expenses such as property, plant and equipment impairments, and contract termination fees. The table below includes any gains on the dispositions of certain property, plant and equipment previously impaired as a consequence of exit activities. Details of these charges are as follows: Property, plant and equipment Employee-related termination expenses Asset relocation costs Contract termination fees Other incremental costs Total OTHER CHARGES 2021 2020 2019 $ $ 7 $ 99 20 2 10 138 $ 385 $ 464 15 23 16 903 $ 107 179 4 12 12 314 Other charges included in "Restructuring, impairment and other" caption in the consolidated statements of income (loss) were $71 million, $963 million, and $28 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2021, such charges were primarily related to certain litigation matters in our TPS segment and the release of foreign currency translation adjustments for certain restructured product lines in our DS segment. In 2020, such charges were comprised of intangible asset impairments of $605 million driven by our decision to exit certain businesses primarily in our OFS segment, other long-lived asset impairments of $216 million ($124 million of intangible assets, $77 million of property, plant and equipment and $15 million of other assets) in our OFE segment, other charges of $73 million driven by certain litigation matters and the impairment of an equity method investment primarily in corporate and the OFE segment, and charges related to corporate facility rationalization. In 2019, such charges primarily relate to currency devaluations in our OFS segment. NOTE 21. BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS We completed several product line dispositions over the past three years as described below. Any gain or loss on a business disposition is reported in the "Other non-operating income (loss), net" caption of the consolidated statements of income (loss). • In October 2021, we closed a transaction with Akastor ASA to create a joint venture company ("JV Company") to deliver global offshore drilling solutions. We contributed our subsea drilling systems business, a division of our OFE segment, to the JV Company and received as consideration 50% of the shares of the JV Company, cash of $70 million, and a promissory note of $80 million. The transaction Baker Hughes Company 2021 Form 10-K | 91 Baker Hughes Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements resulted in an immaterial gain. The Company's interest in the JV Company is accounted for as an equity method investment. Our ongoing operations in the JV Company are not integral to our operations and, therefore, our share of the income or loss from the JV will be reported as non-operating income (loss). In October 2020, we completed the sale of our surface pressure control flow business, a non-strategic product line in our OFE segment that provided surface wellhead and surface tree systems for the onshore market. The sale resulted in a loss before income taxes of $137 million. In June 2020, we completed the sale of our rod lift systems ("RLS") business. RLS was part of our OFS segment and provided rod lift products, technologies, services and solutions to the oil and gas industry. The sale resulted in a loss before income taxes of $216 million. In July 2019, we completed the sale of our high-speed reciprocating compression ("Recip") business. Recip was part of our TPS segment and provided high-speed reciprocating compression equipment and aftermarket parts and services for oil and gas production, gas processing, gas distribution and independent power industries. The sale resulted in a loss before income taxes of $138 million. • • • NOTE 22. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ALL OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES All other current liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 include $955 million and $910 million, respectively, of employee related liabilities.
