據原油新聞2020年4月13日休斯頓報道，貝克休斯公司（BHI）周一在休斯頓表示，由于受到重創的油田服務行業正在調整以應對由疫情引發的需求崩潰，BHI不日將公布150億美元的減值支出，這比公司目前的市場資本總額還要高。

BHI此前曾在一份聲明中稱，在疫情的影響導致公司進行了一次臨時定量減值測試以后，該公司將在第一季度報告商譽減提。

除了150億美元的減值支出外，BHI還將把今年的資本支出預算從去年水平削減20%以上，削減至不足10億美元。

BHI強調，減值支出不會影響現金流，該公司“將繼續保持穩健的財務實力和變現能力?！?/span>

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.
