MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-07-29
Second-quarter 2026 revenue of $9.0 billion increased 3% compared to the first quarter of 2026 as broad-based growth across international markets—led by offshore activity in Latin America, Europe & Africa, and Asia—more than offset the impact of continued disruptions in the Middle East.
Excluding the Middle East, revenue grew sequentially across all Divisions, supported by higher offshore activity, a rebound in U.S. unconventionals, and strong demand for production and recovery solutions.
International revenue increased 3% sequentially despite the severe disruptions in the Middle East. Strong performances in Latin America, Europe & Africa and Asia more than offset the decline in the Middle East where revenue fell 13% sequentially to $1.66 billion.
North America revenue increased 4% sequentially driven by higher sales of production chemicals, artificial lift, and valves in U.S. land, as well as increased revenue from Data Center Solutions.
Digital revenue of $697 million increased 9% sequentially, driven by a 25%, or $25 million, increase in Digital Exploration revenue resulting from higher sales of exploration data licenses and transfer fees. Sequential growth also benefited from $17 million in higher sales in Platforms & Application…

First-quarter 2026 revenue of $8.7 billion increased 3% year on year. Excluding the impact of the ChampionX acquisition in the third quarter last year, revenue declined by $607 million, or 7%, year on year. This was due to a 7% decline in international revenue and an 8% decrease in North America rev…
It was a challenging start to the year as widespread disruptions in the Middle East, which represents approximately 70% of SLB’s Middle East & Asia first quarter revenue of $2.7 billion, impacted the business. This impact was most pronounced in the Well Construction and Reservoir Performance divisio…
SLB entered 2026 anticipating that global liquid supply and demand would gradually rebalance throughout the year and into 2027. However, the conflict in the Middle East has accelerated this rebalancing while exposing critical vulnerabilities in the global energy supply chain.
SLB expects postconflict liquid commodity prices to remain above preconflict levels. This reflects the near-term supply disruptions caused by infrastructure impairments, production impacts, and geopolitical risk premium.
In response, many countries are likely to prioritize supply diversification, invest in exploration and domestic resource development, and replenish strategic reserves once the conflict subsides. Alongside SLB’s work supporting customers as they restore production capacity in the Middle East, SLB exp…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
