據離岸工程4月23日報道，根據能源服務公司貝克休斯(Baker Hughes)報告稱，2021年第一季度凈虧損4.52億美元，而去年同期虧損102億美元。

　　該公司公布的去年第四季度盈利6.53億美元。其記下了虧損，因為其將其投資的人工智能公司C3.ai的價值減記了7.88億美元。

　　在截至2021年3月31日的季度，該公司的收入同比下降了12%，至48億美元。該公司本季度收到的訂單價值45.4億美元，同比下降18%。

　　該公司將訂單同比下降歸因于油田服務和油田設備訂單量下降，部分被數字解決方案、渦輪機械和工藝解決方案的增長所抵消。

　　該公司在新聞聲明中稱，設備訂單同比下降18%，服務訂單也下降了18%。

　　該季度的營業收入為1.64億美元，而去年同期的營業虧損為160.6億美元。

　　貝克休斯董事長兼首席執行官Lorenzo Simonelli表示，我們對第一季度的業績感到滿意，因為我們創造了強勁的自由現金流，繼續推進我們的成本支出努力，并在執行我們的戰略方面采取了進一步有意義的措施。

　　Baker Hughes net loss narrows to $452m in Q1

　　Energy services firm Baker Hughes has reported a net loss of $452m for the first quarter of 2021, compared with a $10.2bn loss in the same quarter last year.

　　The company posted a profit of $653m in the fourth quarter of 2020. It booked losses as it wrote down the value of its investment artificial intelligence company C3.ai by $788m.

　　For the quarter ending 31 March 2021, the company’s revenue declined 12% year-over-year to $4.8bn.

　　The company received orders worth $4.54bn during the quarter, which represents a decline of 18% year-over-year.

　　The company attributed a year-over-year decline in orders to lower order intake in oilfield services and oilfield equipment, partially offset by growth in digital solutions and turbomachinery and process solutions.

　　Year-over-year equipment orders plummeted by 18% and service orders also fell by 18%, the company said in its press statement.

　　Operating income for the quarter stood at $164m as against an operating loss of $16.06bn a year ago.

　　Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said: “We are pleased with our first-quarter results as we generated strong free cash flow, continued to drive forward our cost-out efforts and took further meaningful steps in the execution of our strategy.
