SCHLUMBERGER LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (“Schlumberger”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2013 financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2014.

Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  Beginning in the second quarter of 2014, Schlumberger revised its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to present certain cash outflows relating to Schlumberger Production Management (“SPM”) activities as a separate line item within investing activities, referred to as “SPM investments.”  Schlumberger historically presented such cash outflows as an operating activity.  This change is not considered material to prior periods.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017.  Schlumberger does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

2. Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded the following charges and credits in continuing operations during the first nine months of 2013:

Second quarter 2013:

·

Schlumberger recorded a pretax and after-tax gain of $1.028 billion as a result of the deconsolidation of its subsea business in connection with the formation of the OneSubsea joint venture with Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”). Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details.

·

Schlumberger recorded a $222 million pretax ($203 million after-tax) impairment charge relating to an investment in a company involved in developing drilling-related technology and a $142 million pretax and after-tax impairment charge relating to an investment in a contract drilling business.

First quarter 2013:

·

Although the functional currency of Schlumberger’s operations in Venezuela is the US dollar, a portion of the transactions are denominated in local currency. In February 2013, Venezuela’s currency was devalued from the prior exchange rate of 4.3 bolivar fuertes per US dollar to 6.3 bolivar fuertes per US dollar. As a result of this devaluation, Schlumberger recorded a pretax and after-tax foreign currency loss of $92 million during the first quarter of 2013.
