Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The attached presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “anticipate,” “guidance,” “confident” and similar terms. Such statements may relate to, among other things, our forecasts or expectations regarding business outlook, including growth in revenue, operating margins and earnings per share; growth for Schlumberger as a whole and for each of its segments (and for specified products or geographic areas within each segment); Schlumberger’s transformation initiatives; oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and natural gas prices; Schlumberger’s stock repurchase program; Schlumberger’s dividend plans; market share; technology leadership; improvements in operating procedures and technology; capital expenditures by Schlumberger and the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of Schlumberger’s customers; future global economic conditions; and future results of operations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, global economic uncertainty and volatility; changes in exploration and production spending by Schlumberger’s customers and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; general economic, political and business conditions in key regions of the world, including any effects of sanctions; the inability of Schlumberger’s transformation initiatives to achieve expected results; integration of acquired businesses; the realization of expected synergies from acquisitions; pricing erosion; weather and seasonal factors; operational delays; the inability to respond to increased activity levels; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those related to offshore oil and gas exploration, radioactive sources, explosives, chemicals, hydraulic fracturing services and climate-related initiatives; the inability of technology to meet new challenges in exploration and production; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the attached presentation, and Schlumberger disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
