  • GE's $7.4 Billion Loss, Write-Off on Baker Hughes: Another Bad Bet On
    Kathy Hipple, Financial Analyst 1 Tom Sanzillo, Director of Finance Tim Buckley, Director of Energy Finance Studies, Australasia October 2019 GE’s $7.4 Billion Loss, Write-off on Baker Hughes: Another Bad Bet on Fossil Fuels Q3 Loss, Write-Off Likely to Be $9+ Billion; More Red Ink to Flow, as O&G Has $25 Billion of Goodwill on Balance Sheet Executive Summary General Electric, once a blue-chip stalwart in global markets, now struggles with declining revenues and earnings. One important thread that runs through the tattered cloth of GE’s decline is its misreading of changing dynamics in the energy sector. Throughout the ongoing energy transition, as GE has continued to bet heavily on fossil fuels, many of those bets have turned sour for the company and its shareholders. GE’s Oil & Gas (O&G) division’s 2017 merger with oil services company Baker Hughes was a particularly costly bet, one that epitomizes how GE has been blind-sided by the rapidly evolving energy transition. Over the past year, GE has formally announced it has taken, or will take, losses or write-offs of approximately $9.6 billion (bn)1 in connection with two partial sales of its stake in one of the world’s largest oil services companies, Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE). These losses include the company’s $2.2 bn Q4 2018 pre-tax loss on the first sale of BHGE shares in November 2018, and an estimated pre-tax loss 1 All figures are US$ unless noted.

Amanam and Tisha Schuller August 2017 1 Background The Stanford Natural Gas Initiative (NGI) convened a symposium on May 9 and 10, 2017 entitled Reducing Energy Poverty with Natural Gas: Changing Political, Business and Technology Paradigms. The event was the second Stanford Natural Gas Initiative Sym- posium; it followed the successful 2015 one, Natural Gas and the Energy Bridge. The Stanford NGI collaborated with the Stanford Global Development and Poverty Ini- tiative, the World Bank, the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation, the Breakthrough Institute, and the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) to hold the symposium. The event had a steering committee composed of Stanford researchers and students, Stan- ford NGI members, and external partners. The committee collaborated for 11 months to prepare the agenda. The symposium convened the university’s experts and external leaders to explore ways that natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can most effectively be used to address energy poverty around the world. It welcomed nearly 130 participants from 13 countries, representing Stanford, industry, foundations, and both government and non-governmental organizations. The first day included two welcome keynotes and two introductory panel discussions, while the second included two regionally-focused panels. Additionally, three series of breakout sessions (14 in total) were held to facilitate dialogue among the participants. The full symposium program is provided in the appendix.
