(To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240417469361/en/)

Exciting Start to the Year

SLB CEO Olivier Le Peuch commented, “We have had an exciting start to the year with our announced agreement to acquire ChampionX Corporation (ChampionX), which will bolster our production and recovery portfolio. We also continued our growth momentum, with a strong first-quarter performance resulting from robust year-on-year revenue and EBITDA growth consistent with our first quarter and full-year guidance.”

“Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue increased 13%, EPS (excluding charges and credits) rose 19% to $0.75, adjusted EBITDA grew 15%, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded year on year for the 13th consecutive quarter. Approximately half of the year-on-year revenue increase came from the Aker subsea business, which was added as part of our OneSubsea joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2023.”

“International revenue grew 18% year on year, compensating for a softer North American market where revenue declined 6%. Excluding the contribution of the Aker subsea business, international revenue grew 10%.”

“During the quarter, we continued to benefit from our favorable exposure to the international markets, with remarkable year-on-year growth of 29% in the Middle East & Asia, in addition to growth of 18% in Europe & Africa.”

“Sequentially, revenue declined 3% both in North America and in the international markets due to seasonality. However, this impact was less pronounced than in prior years as robust activity gains partially offset seasonal effects.”

“I want to extend my appreciation to the SLB team for achieving these outstanding results. I look forward to building on this momentum in the coming quarters.”

First Quarter Powered by the Core

“Our Core business—comprising Reservoir Performance, Well Construction, and Production Systems—achieved revenue growth of 13% year on year and expanded pretax segment operating margin by more than 200 basis points (bps). This growth was supported by investments in long-cycle developments and production capacity expansions, particularly in the Middle East & Asia and Latin America.”

“Production Systems revenue grew 28% year on year driven by the acquired Aker subsea business. Excluding the contribution of the Aker subsea business, Production Systems revenue grew 6% driven by a double-digit increase in international revenue resulting from higher sales of completions, surface production systems, and artificial lift. Reservoir Performance revenue increased 15% year on year due to increased stimulation, evaluation, and intervention services across all areas on land and offshore and from both exploration and production activity. Well Construction grew 3% year on year driven by a 9% increase in international revenue, led by Middle East & Asia but partially offset by reduced activity in North America.”

Revenue Growth, Margin Expansion, and Returns to Shareholders

“We remain confident in our global revenue growth outlook for 2024, with softness in North America being offset by upside in the international markets. The dynamics of this cycle remain intact, with international and offshore growth taking place across all geographies, benefiting all of our Divisions as we continue to be awarded new contracts, enhancing the quality and longevity of our revenue backlog.”

“Our journey of margin expansion continues to be driven by tight service and equipment capacity internationally, increased technology adoption, and further operational efficiency. As a result, we affirm our previous guidance of mid-teens EBITDA growth for the full year.”

“Turning specifically to the second quarter, we expect a seasonal rebound in activity in the Northern Hemisphere coupled with robust activity internationally, led by the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. This will drive broad sequential margin expansion across all Divisions and geographies.”

“Based on our strong start to the year, confidence in our ability to generate robust cash flows, and the anticipated contribution of the announced ChampionX acquisition, we are targeting to return $7 billion to shareholders over the next two years. This represents a target for returns to shareholders of $3 billion in 2024 and $4 billion in 2025.”

The Momentum Continues

“The oil and gas industry continues to benefit from strong market fundamentals driven by a growing demand outlook. This is resulting in a significant baseload of activity, particularly in the international and offshore markets, closely aligned with the strengths of our business. As the cycle persists, we expect operators to increase their investments in production and reservoir recovery, with the goal of maximizing the efficiency and longevity of their producing assets. This will result in operating expenditures becoming an increasing part of global upstream spending over time.”

“We are already benefiting from these investments, and our recently announced agreement to acquire ChampionX will position us to further capture this growing opportunity through the addition of a leading production chemicals portfolio and a complementary artificial lift offering. We look forward to harnessing the strong capabilities of ChampionX to deliver superior performance for our customers.”

“There also continues to be a growing emphasis across the industry on emissions reduction. This is presenting an exciting new market for lower-carbon technologies and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), where we are positioned very well, as exemplified by the expansion of our CCS portfolio with our recent announcement of our agreement to acquire a majority ownership stake in Aker Carbon Capture.”

“All in all, the dynamics of the cycle continue to reinforce our strategy and outlook for the future. I look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional service for our customers and results for our stockholders throughout the year.”

이 뉴스는 기업·기관·단체가 뉴스와이어를 통해 배포한 보도자료입니다.SLB(뉴욕증권거래소: SLB)가 오늘 2024년 1분기 실적을 발표했다.

1분기 실적

(표의 내용은 pdf 참조. 다운로드: https://bit.ly/3xSaA60)

한 해의 흥미진진한 시작

SLB의 최고경영자인 올리비에 르 푸흐(Olivier Le Peuch)는 다음과 같이 설명했다. “우리는 생산 및 회수 포트폴리오를 강화할 챔피언엑스(ChampionX Corporation)를 인수하는 계약을 발표하면서 올해를 흥미진진하게 시작했다. 또한 1분기 및 연간 가이던스에 부합하는 견고한 전년 동기 대비 매출 및 EBITDA 성장의 결과로 1분기 실적 호조와 함께 성장 모멘텀도 이어졌다.”

“작년 같은 분기에 비해 매출은 13% 증가했고, 주당순이익(청구금액 및 대변기입액 제외)은 19% 증가한 0.75달러, 조정 EBITDA는 15% 증가했으며 조정 EBITDA 이익률은 전년 동기 대비 13분기 연속 늘어났다. 전년 동기 대비 매출 증가의 약 절반은 2023년 1분기에 원서브시(OneSubsea) 합작회사의 일부로 추가된 아케르(Aker) 해저 사업에서 발생했다.”

“해외 매출은 전년 대비 18% 성장해 매출이 6% 감소한 북미 시장의 약세를 보완했다. 아케르 해저 사업의 기여도를 제외한 해외 매출은 10% 성장했다.”

“1분기 동안 해외 시장에 대한 유리한 익스포저의 혜택을 계속 누리며 중동 및 아시아 지역에서 전년 동기 대비 29%의 놀라운 성장과 유럽 및 아프리카 지역에서 18%의 성장을 달성했다.”

“계절적 요인으로 인해 북미와 해외 시장 모두에서 전분기 대비 매출은 3% 감소했다. 그러나 활발한 활동으로 계절적 영향이 부분 상쇄되면서 이러한 영향은 예년보다 덜 두드러졌다.”

“이러한 우수한 성과를 달성한 SLB 팀에게 감사의 말을 전하고 싶다. 향후 분기에도 이러한 모멘텀을 이어갈 수 있기를 기대한다.”

핵심 사업의 힘을 받은 1분기

“저류층 거동, 유정 건설, 생산 시스템으로 구성된 핵심 사업은 수익이 전년 대비 13% 성장하고 세전 부문별 영업이익률이 200베이스포인트(bps) 이상 증가했다. 이러한 성장은 특히 중동 및 아시아, 라틴 아메리카에서 장기적 사이클 개발 및 생산 능력 확장에 대한 투자에 의해 뒷받침됐다.”

“생산 시스템 수익은 아케르 해저 사업 인수 덕분에 전년 대비 28% 성장했다. 아케르 해저 사업의 기여를 제외한 생산 시스템 수익은 완공, 수표면 생산 시스템 및 인공 리프트의 매출이 늘어서 발생한 해외 매출의 두 자릿수 증가로 인해 6% 증가했다. 저류층 거동 매출은 전년 대비 15% 증가했는데, 육상 및 역외의 모든 지역과 탐사 및 생산 활동에서 자극, 평가 및 개입 서비스가 증가한 덕분이었다. 유정 건설 부문은 중동 및 아시아 위주의 해외 매출이 9% 증가하면서 전년 대비 3% 성장했지만 북미 지역에서의 활동 감소로 인해 일부 상쇄됐다.”

수익 성장, 이익률 확대 및 주주 환원

“북미 시장의 약세가 해외 시장의 상승세로 인해 상쇄되면서 2024년 글로벌 수익 성장 전망에 있어 여전히 자신감을 갖고 있다. 이러한 사이클의 역동성이 그대로 유지되고, 모든 지역에서 해외 및 역외 성장이 이루어지고 있으며, 신규 계약을 지속적으로 수주하면서 매출 수주잔고의 질과 수명을 향상시켜 모든 사업부에 혜택을 주고 있다.”

“이익률 확대의 여정은 국제적으로 타이트한 서비스 및 장비 용량, 기술 채택 증가, 운영 효율성 개선을 통해 계속 추진되고 있다. 그 결과, 연간 10% 중반의 EBITDA 성장률 가이던스를 기존대로 유지한다.”

“2분기를 구체적으로 살펴보면, 북반구의 계절적 활동 반등과 중동, 아시아, 아프리카를 중심으로 하는 국제적 활동 호조가 예상된다. 이는 모든 사업부와 지역에 걸쳐 광범위하게 연속적인 이익률 확장을 이끌 것이다.”

“올해의 순조로운 출발과 탄탄한 현금 흐름을 창출하는 능력에 대한 자신감, 그리고 챔피언엑스 인수의 예상되는 기여를 바탕으로 향후 2년에 걸쳐 70억달러를 주주에게 환원하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이는 2024년에 30억달러, 2025년에 40억달러의 주주 수익률 목표를 나타낸다.”

계속되는 모멘텀

“석유 및 가스 산업은 수요 증가 전망에 따른 강력한 시장 펀더멘털의 혜택을 계속 누리고 있다. 이로 인해 상당한 기반 활동이 이뤄지고 있으며, 특히 당사 비즈니스의 강점과 밀접하게 연계되어 국제 및 역외 시장에서 이뤄지고 있다. 이러한 사이클이 지속됨에 따라 운영사들이 생산 및 저류층 회수에 대한 투자를 늘려 생산 자산의 효율성과 수명을 극대화하는 것을 목표로 할 것이 예상된다. 따라서 운영 지출은 시간이 지남에 따라 글로벌 업스트림 지출에서 차지하는 비중이 늘어날 것이다.”

“우리는 이미 이러한 투자의 혜택을 누리고 있으며, 최근 발표한 챔피언엑스 인수 계약을 통해 일류 생산 화학 제품 포트폴리오와 보완적인 인공 리프트 제품을 추가함으로써 성장 기회를 추가로 포착할 수 있는 입지를 확보할 것이다. 챔피언엑스의 강력한 기능을 활용해 고객에게 우수한 성능을 제공할 수 있기를 기대한다.”

“또한 업계 전반에서 배출량 감축에 대한 강조도 계속되고 있다. 이는 저탄소 기술과 탄소 포집 및 격리(carbon capture and sequestration, CCS)에 대한 흥미로운 신규 시장이 떠오르고 있음을 나타내며, 최근 아케르 카본 캡처(Aker Carbon Capture)의 대주주 지분 인수 계약을 발표하며 CCS 포트폴리오를 확장한 것이 보여 주듯 우리는 매우 좋은 포지션을 확보했다.”

“전반적으로 이러한 사이클의 역동성이 전략과 미래 전망을 계속해서 강화하고 있다. 한 해 동안 고객을 위해서는 탁월한 서비스를 제공하고, 주주를 위해서는 성과를 지속적으로 낼 수 있기를 바란다.”

기타 이벤트

분기 동안 SLB는 주당 평균 50.13달러, 총 매입가 2억7000만달러에 보통주 540만 주를 자사주 매입했다.

2024년 3월 27일, SLB는 자사의 탄소 포집 사업을 아케르 카본 캡처(OSE: ACC)와 합병하는 계약을 통해 대규모 산업 탈탄소화를 가속화하도록 지원한다고 발표했다. 상호 보완적인 기술 포트폴리오, 선도적인 공정 설계 전문성, 안정적인 프로젝트 제공 플랫폼을 결합한 이번 합병을 통해 아케르 카본 캡처의 상업용 탄소 포집 제품군과 SLB의 신기술 개발 및 산업화 역량을 활용하게 될 것이다. 와해적인 초기 단계 기술을 검증된 상용 플랫폼에서 글로벌 시장에 채택하도록 하는 속도를 높이는 수단을 만들 것이다. 이번 거래에 따라 SLB는 합병 기업의 80%를 소유하고 ACC는 20%를 소유하게 된다. 이번 거래는 규제 승인 및 기타 관례적인 거래 성사 상황에 따라 영향을 받으며, 2024년 2분기에 완료될 것으로 예상된다.

2024년 4월 2일, SLB와 챔피언엑스(나스닥: CHX)는 SLB가 전량 주식 거래로 챔피언엑스를 인수하는 최종 계약을 체결한다고 발표했다. 계약 조건에 따라 챔피언엑스 주주는 챔피언엑스 1주당 SLB 보통주 0.735주를 받게 되며, 거래가 완료되면 챔피언엑스 주주들은 SLB의 보통주 발행 주식의 약 9%를 소유하게 된다. SLB는 거래 성사 후 첫 3년 간 점진적 매출 증가와 비용 절감을 통해 연간 약 4억달러의 세전 시너지를 실현할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 이 거래는 챔피언엑스 주주들의 승인, 규제 당국의 승인 및 기타 관례적인 거래 종결 조건을 조건부로 한다. 거래 종결은 2024년 말 이전에 이루어질 것으로 예상된다.

해외

라틴 아메리카의 수익 16억5000만달러는 브라질의 생산 시스템 판매 증가와 아르헨티나의 시추 활동 호조 때문에 전년 대비 2% 증가했지만 멕시코의 시추 매출 감소로 일부 상쇄됐다. 전분기 대비 멕시코의 시추 매출 감소와 에콰도르의 자산 성능 솔루션(Performance Solution, APS) 수익 감소로 인해 수익이 4% 감소했다.
