WSJ: Baker Hughes CFO Aims to Boost Dividends, Be More Judicious With Buybacks
Six months into the role, Nancy Buese is leading a pivot in how the oil-field services company returns cash to shareholders
https://www.wsj.com/articles/baker-hughes-cfo-aims-to-boost-…
...
Baker Hughes’s new finance chief wants to prioritize raising dividends over share buybacks, a philosophical shift for the oil-field-services company as it nears the end of a restructuring aimed at lifting profit margins and reducing costs.

The Houston-based company is planning to evaluate this summer the pace and rate it would like to increase the dividend over time, with the intention of making a recommendation to the board later this year, said Chief Financial Officer Nancy Buese, who has served in the role for roughly six months.

“We should be able to improve and increase the dividend,” she said. “To me, that’s the biggest mark that management can provide in terms of confidence in the future.”

The company generally aims to return 60% to 80% of its free cash flow to shareholders. Those rewards in recent years have included buybacks, dividends and distributions to General Electric, which recently sold its remaining stake in the company. GE, until this year, was entitled to receive distributions on an equal per-share amount of any dividend paid by Baker Hughes.

“We were pleased with our first quarter results and remain optimistic on the outlook for 2023. We maintained our strong order momentum in IET and SSPS. We also delivered solid operating results at the high end of our guidance in both business segments, booked almost $300 million of New Energy orders and generated approximately $200 million of free cash flow,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer.

“While 2023 has already started off with some macro volatility, we remain optimistic on the outlook for energy services and Baker Hughes.
Our diverse portfolio features long cycle and short cycle businesses that position us well to navigate any periods of variability that may occur across the energy sector.”

“We continue to believe that the current environment remains unique, with a spending cycle that is more durable and less sensitive to commodity price swings, relative to prior cycles. Another notable characteristic of this cycle is the continued shift towards the development of natural gas and LNG. As the world increasingly recognizes the crucial role natural gas will play in the energy transition, serving as both a transition and destination fuel, the case for a multi-decade growth opportunity in gas is steadily improving as both a transition and destination fuel.”

“In addition to capitalizing on the commercial opportunities presented by this favorable macro backdrop, Baker Hughes remains committed in 2023 to transforming the Company operationally and positioning it for growth in the energy and industrial markets. I want to thank our shareholders, customers, and our employees for their continued hard work to deliver against our strategic goals,” concluded Simonelli.

Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer: ...

“In 2023, the global economy is expected to experience some challenges under the weight of inflationary pressures and tightening monetary conditions.

Despite recessionary pressures in some of the world’s largest economies, we maintain a positive outlook for the energy sector, given supply shortages appear likely to persist. With years of under investment now being amplified by recent geopolitical factors, global spare capacity for oil and gas has deteriorated and will likely require years of investment growth to meet forecasted future demand.”

“Given this macro backdrop, Baker Hughes is intensely focused on four key areas in 2023 in order to drive future value for shareholders. First, we are well positioned to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities that are building across both business segments.
Second, we remain focused on optimizing our corporate structure and transforming the Baker Hughes organization to drive improvements in our margin and returns profile.
Third, we continue to develop our portfolio of new energy technologies.
Fourth, we will continue to focus on all these initiatives and generating strong free cash flow and returning 60 to 80% of this free cash flow to shareholders through a combination of dividends and opportunistic share buybacks,” concluded Simonelli.

The addition of BRUSH will enhance Baker Hughes’ core turbomachinery portfolio with electromechanical equipment, including electric generators, synchronous condensers, electric motors, and associated control power management systems. Already in use across a wide range of industries, BRUSH’s technology complements Baker Hughes’ existing e-LNG offering. Through the acquisition, Baker Hughes also plans to optimize its supply chain by leveraging BRUSH Power Generation’s manufacturing base and expanding its scope on customer projects in both the industrial and energy sectors.

“We are delighted to bring the BRUSH Power Generation division, already a long-established and trusted supplier, into the Baker Hughes family,” said Rod Christie, executive vice president of Turbomachinery & Process Solutions at Baker Hughes. “The need for electrification in the hard-to-abate and natural gas sectors plays an increasingly critical role in accelerating the path to net-zero. Through this acquisition, we will expand our core electrification capabilities and scope, further enhance our supply chain, and reach new industrial customers who can benefit from our broader turbomachinery and climate technology solutions offerings.”
