The estimated fair value of SLB’s Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $
At June 30, 2024, SLB had committed credit facility agreements aggregating $
Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries, including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment S.A. and Schlumberger Finance Canada Ltd., both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger Limited.
8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
SLB’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of SLB’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which SLB conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease).
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates expose SLB to risks on future cash flows relating to its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. SLB uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to provide a hedge against these risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the fair value of the derivative recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
Details regarding SLB’s outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2024, were as follows:
A summary of the amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet relating to cross currency interest rate swaps was as follows:

SLB is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. SLB uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
SLB is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While SLB uses foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the derivative is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as are changes in the fair value of the hedged item.
Foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $
Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivatives was

Second-quarter 2024 results reflected broad-based sequential international revenue growth and margin expansion across all Divisions. SLB's Core Divisions—Reservoir Performance, Well Construction, and Production Systems—continued to build on their positive momentum and its digital business accelerated, resulting in the highest quarterly international revenue since 2014. These results demonstrate SLB’s strong position in key, resilient markets, as it continues to benefit from elevated activity in the Middle East & Asia, particularly in gas, and SLB’s clients’ increased investments in deepwater basins, exploration, and digital.
Second-quarter 2024 global revenue of $9.1 billion grew 5% sequentially, led by the Middle East & Asia which increased 6%. The increase in this area was driven by capacity expansions, gas development projects, and production and recovery. SLB also continued to benefit from its enhanced offshore exposure, particularly in deepwater basins across Latin America, Europe & Africa, and in the US Gulf of Mexico. Consequently, pretax operating margin improved sequentially in each of the four Divisions.
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, SLB expects ongoing momentum in the international markets, strong digital sales, and its cost efficiency programs will unlock further margin expansion. Beyond 2024, the fundamentals of this cycle remain in place, and there is a long tailwind of growth opportunities, including long-cycle gas and deepwater projects, production and recovery activity, and the secular trends of digital and decarbonization. This represents a strong backdrop for SLB to continue its margin expansion journey.
Digital & Integration
Digital & Integration revenue of $1.1 billion increased 10% sequentially due to higher digital revenue while Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) revenue was flat. Growth in digital revenue was driven by the increased adoption of SLB’s digital solutions and higher exploration data license sales.
Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 31% expanded 435 basis points (“bps”) sequentially, primarily due to improved profitability in digital following strong exploration data license sales and higher uptake of digital solutions.
Reservoir Performance
Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.8 billion grew 5% sequentially due to increased intervention and stimulation activity across all geographic areas, with approximately 70% of the growth coming from the Middle East & Asia.
Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 21% increased 98 bps sequentially with profitability improving across the international markets driven by higher activity.
16
Well Construction
Well Construction revenue of $3.4 billion increased 1% sequentially primarily driven by strong measurements and fluids activity internationally.
Well Construction pretax operating margin of 22% expanded 125 bps sequentially due to the international activity increases in measurements and fluids.
Production Systems
Production Systems revenue of $3.0 billion increased 7% sequentially driven by the international markets with strong activity in Europe & Africa, followed by Latin America and the Middle East & Asia.
Production Systems pretax operating margin of 16% expanded 146 bps sequentially due to improved profitability in subsea production systems and artificial lift.

Six-month 2024 revenue of $17.8 billion increased 13% year on year. Approximately 50% of the year-on-year revenue increase came from the acquisition of the Aker subsea business in the fourth quarter of 2023.
International revenue grew by 18% year on year. Excluding the contribution of the acquired Aker subsea business, international revenue increased by 11% driven by higher activity in the Middle East & Asia. North America revenue decreased by 6% primarily due to lower drilling in US land.
Digital & Integration
Digital & Integration revenue of $2.0 billion increased 9% year on year due to digital growing in line with SLB’s ambition of full-year growth in the high-teens.
Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 29% contracted 298 bps year on year due to the effects of higher APS amortization expense and lower gas prices.
Reservoir Performance
Reservoir Performance revenue of $3.5 billion increased 13% year on year due to increased stimulation and intervention activity, with approximately 75% of the revenue growth coming from the Middle East & Asia.
Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 20% expanded 276 bps year on year on improved profitability in the international markets driven by higher activity and improved pricing from increased technology intensity.
17
Well Construction
Well Construction revenue of $6.8 billion increased 2% year on year. This revenue increase was driven by 8% growth internationally, primarily in the Middle East & Asia, partially offset by a 16% reduction in North America largely due to lower drilling in US land.
Well Construction pretax operating margin of 21% was essentially flat year on year.
Production Systems
Production Systems revenue of $5.8 billion increased 29% year on year mainly due to the acquisition of the Aker subsea business. Excluding the effects of the Aker subsea acquisition, revenue grew 8% year on year driven by a 13% increase in international sales. Organic year-on-year growth was led by strong international sales of artificial lift, surface production systems, and completions.
Production Systems pretax operating margin of 15% expanded 425 bps year on year driven by a favorable activity mix, execution efficiency, and conversion of improved-price backlog.

After a lock-up period of three years, ACC is entitled to sell its 20% interest in ACCH to SLB during a period of six months for a price based on the fair market value of the combined business subject to a floor of NOK 1.0 billion and a ceiling of NOK 2.1 billion (the “put option”). Additionally, after the expiration of the put option, SLB has the right to purchase ACC’s 20% interest in the combined business during the following six months for a price based on the fair market value of the combined business subject to a floor of NOK 1.5 billion and a ceiling of NOK 2.6 billion.
In April 2024, SLB announced that it is raising its 2024 target for total returns of capital to shareholders (consisting of dividends and share repurchases) from $2.5 billion to $3 billion. The targeted $0.5 billion increase will be in the form of additional share repurchases. SLB also set its target for total returns of capital to shareholders in 2025 at $4 billion.
As of June 30, 2024, SLB had $4.0 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand and committed debt facility agreements with commercial banks aggregating $5.0 billion, $4.6 billion of which was available and unused. SLB believes these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond.
SLB has a global footprint in more than 100 countries. As of June 30, 2024, only three of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of SLB’s net receivable balance. One of these countries, Mexico, represented greater than 10% of such receivables. As of June 30, 2024, Mexico represented 15% of SLB's net accounts receivable balance. In July 2024, SLB issued a credit default swap ("CDS") to a third-party financial institution for a notional amount of $550 million relating to a borrowing provided by the financial institution to SLB's primary customer in Mexico. This borrowing was utilized by the customer to pay approximately $645 million of SLB's outstanding receivables in July 2024. SLB’s receivables from its primary customer in Mexico are not in dispute and SLB has not historically had any material write-offs due to uncollectible accounts receivable relating to this customer.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This second-quarter 2024 Form 10-Q, as well as other statements we make, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts. Such statements often contain words such as “expect,” “may,” “can,” “believe,” “predict,” “plan,” “potential,” “projected,” “projections,” “precursor,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “expectations,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “ambition,” “goal,” “target,” “scheduled,” “think,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “see,” “likely,” and other similar words. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain, such as statements about SLB’s financial and performance targets and other forecasts or expectations regarding, or dependent on, its business outlook; growth for SLB as a whole and for each of its Divisions (and for specified business lines, geographic areas, or technologies within each Division); oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and natural gas prices; forecasts or expectations regarding energy transition and global climate change; improvements in operating procedures and technology; capital expenditures by SLB and the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of SLB, including digital and “fit for basin,” as well as the strategies of SLB’s customers; -SLB’s capital allocation plans, including dividend plans and share repurchase programs; SLB’s APS projects, joint ventures, and other alliances; the impact of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine on global energy supply; access to raw materials; future global economic and geopolitical conditions; future
20
liquidity, including free cash flow; and future results of operations, such as margin levels. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changing global economic and geopolitical conditions; changes in exploration and production spending by SLB’s customers, and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; the results of operations and financial condition of SLB’s customers and suppliers; SLB’s inability to achieve its financial and performance targets and other forecasts and expectations; SLB’s inability to achieve net-zero carbon emissions goals or interim emissions reduction goals; general economic, geopolitical and business conditions in key regions of the world; the ongoing conflict in Ukraine; foreign currency risk; inflation; changes in monetary policy by governments; pricing pressure; weather and seasonal factors; unfavorable effects of health pandemics; availability and cost of raw materials; operational modifications, delays or cancellations; challenges in SLB’s supply chain; production declines; the extent of future charges; SLB’s inability to recognize efficiencies and other intended benefits from its business strategies and initiatives, such as digital or new energy, as well as its cost reduction strategies; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those related to offshore oil and gas exploration, radioactive sources, explosives, chemicals, and climate-related initiatives; the inability of technology to meet new challenges in exploration; the competitiveness of alternative energy sources or product substitutes; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this Form 10-Q and our most recent Form 10-K and Forms 8-K filed with or furnished to the SEC.
This Form 10-Q also includes forward-looking statements relating to the proposed transaction between SLB and ChampionX, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction and the anticipated timing of the transaction. Factors and risks that may impact future results and performance include, but are not limited to, and in each case as a possible result of the proposed transaction on each of SLB and ChampionX: the ultimate outcome of the proposed transaction between SLB and ChampionX; the ability to operate the SLB and ChampionX respective businesses, including business disruptions; difficulties in retaining and hiring key personnel and employees; the ability to maintain favorable business relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners; the terms and timing of the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction; the anticipated or actual tax treatment of the proposed transaction; the ability to satisfy closing conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction; other risks related to the completion of the proposed transaction and actions related thereto; the ability of SLB and ChampionX to integrate the business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies and value creation from the proposed transaction; the ability to secure government regulatory approvals on the terms expected, at all or in a timely manner; litigation and regulatory proceedings, including any proceedings that may be instituted against SLB or ChampionX related to the proposed transaction, as well as the risk factors discussed in SLB’s and ChampionX’s most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with or furnished to the SEC.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of any such development changes), or should our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking and other statements in this Form 10-Q regarding our environmental, social, and other sustainability plans and goals are not an indication that these statements are necessarily material to investors or required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking environmental, social, and sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. Statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of July 24, 2024, and SLB disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting SLB, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” of the SLB Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. SLB’s exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
SLB has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of SLB’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of SLB’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, SLB’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that SLB files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. SLB’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in SLB’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, SLB’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Our mining operations are subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this report.
Item 5. Other Information.
In 2013, SLB completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”).
SLB’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during the second quarter of 2024 consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of SLB maintain depository accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”), and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran and in Kish for the deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of SLB for prior services rendered in Iran and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received. One non-US subsidiary also maintained an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes. SLB anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all amounts owed to SLB for prior services rendered in Iran.
