據離岸能源4月22日消息，由于油氣價格大幅下跌和疫情影響，油田服務提供商貝克休斯(Baker Hughes)今年第一季度計入了一筆巨額減值支出，導致該季度虧損100億美元。

貝克休斯在周三發布的《2020年第一季度報告》中表示，該公司本季度訂單為55億美元，環比下降20%，同比下降3%。

該公司當季營收為54億美元，環比下降15%，同比下降3%。

貝克休斯2020年第一季度的GAAP營業虧損為160.6億美元，而去年同期的利潤為1.76億美元。

該公司在2020年第一季度的凈虧損達到102億美元，而在2019年第一季度的利潤為3200萬美元。

正如之前報道的，該公司2020年第一季度的業績包括商譽、庫存、重組和其他總額超過150億美元的減值支出。

貝克休斯董事長兼首席執行官Lorenzo Simonelli表示:“今年第一季度，宏觀環境發生了迅速變化。突如其來的疫情造成的需求沖擊，加上全球石油供應的增加，導致第一季度油價下跌了67%。”

他表示:“展望未來，石油和天然氣的需求和供應的前景似乎同樣不確定，這在很大程度上將取決于從19年危機中復蘇的經濟步伐，以及最終實現的供應反應。”

其它油田服務提供商今年第一季度也創下巨額虧損的記錄。

斯倫貝謝上周計入了85億美元的費用，主要涉及商譽、無形資產和其他長期資產的減值，并報告2020年第一季度凈虧損74億美元。

本周稍早，哈里伯頓計入11億美元的稅前減損和其他費用，以進一步調整成本結構以適應當前市場狀況，并公布2020年第一季凈虧損10億美元。

Simonelli補充道:“為了應對這個充滿挑戰的環境，我們采取了果斷的行動，努力削減成本，加速結構變革，部署技術和優化流程，以降低客戶的成本。”

“這包括在2019年的基礎上削減20%以上的資本支出，執行重組計劃，根以根據預期的活動水平和市場狀況對我們的業務進行適當的規模調整，并繼續實施我們的投資組合演變策略。”

Baker Hughes sinks to $10 billion loss as impairment charges bite

Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes booked a huge impairment charge in the first quarter of the year resulting in a $10 billion loss for the quarter amid a significant decline in oil and gas prices and coronavirus pandemic.

In its 1Q 2020 report on Wednesday, Baker Hughes said that its orders in the quarter were $5.5 billion, down 20 per cent sequentially and down 3 per cent year-over-year.

Its revenues were $5.4 billion for the quarter, down 15 per cent sequentially and down 3 per cent year-over-year.

Baker Hughes’ GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $16.06 billion, compared to a profit of $176 million in the same period last year.

The company’s net loss in 1Q 2020 amounted to $10.2 billion compared to a profit of $32 million in 1Q 2019.

As previously reported, the company’s 1Q 2020 results include goodwill, inventory, restructuring, and other impairment charges of over $15 billion.

Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “During the first quarter, the macro environment changed rapidly. The sudden demand shock from COVID-19 combined with rising global oil supply drove a 67% decline in oil prices during the first quarter.

“Looking forward, the outlook for oil and gas demand and supply appears equally uncertain, and it will largely be driven by the pace of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply response that ultimately materializes.

Other oilfield services providers have also recorded huge losses in the first quarter of the year.

Schlumberger last week took an $8.5 billion charge primarily relating to the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets and reported a net loss of $7.4 billion in 1Q 2020.

Earlier this week, Halliburton recognized a $1.1 billion of pre-tax impairments and other charges to further adjust its cost structure to current market conditions and reported a net loss of $1 billion for the first quarter of 2020.

Simonelli added: “To navigate this challenging environment, we have taken decisive actions in an effort to cut costs, accelerate structural changes, and deploy technology and optimize processes that can lower costs for our customers.

“This includes reducing capital expenditures by more than 20% versus 2019, executing a restructuring plan to right-size our operations for anticipated activity levels and market conditions, as well as continuing to deliver on our portfolio evolution strategy”.
