贝克休斯将公布150亿美元减值支出

据原油新闻2020年4月13日休斯顿报道，贝克休斯公司（BHI）周一在休斯顿表示，由于受到重创的油田服务行业正在调整以应对由疫情引发的需求崩溃，BHI不日将公布150亿美元的减值支出，这比公司目前的市场资本总额还要高。

BHI此前曾在一份声明中称，在疫情的影响导致公司进行了一次临时定量减值测试以后，该公司将在第一季度报告商誉减提。

除了150亿美元的减值支出外，BHI还将把今年的资本支出预算从去年水平削减20%以上，削减至不足10亿美元。

BHI强调，减值支出不会影响现金流，该公司“将继续保持稳健的财务实力和变现能力。”

贝克休斯发言人拒绝进一步置评。

Baker Hughes plans $15 billion impairment, citing coronavirus demand hit

Baker Hughes said Monday it will report a $15 billion impairment charge, larger than the company's current market capitalization value, as the decimated oilfield services sector adjusts to demand collapse triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.

Baker Hughes said in a statement it will record the goodwill charge in the first quarter after the impacts of the pandemic led the company to perform an interim quantitative impairment test.

Apart from the impairment charge, Baker Hughes also will cut its 2020 capital expenditure budget by more than 20% from last year down to less than $1 billion, it said. Baker Hughes highlighted the impairment won't impact cash flow and the company "continues to maintain solid financial strength and liquidity."

A Baker Hughes spokesman declined further comment.
