NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED
As a result of adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)Leases
On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, we reclassified our restricted cash of $7 million from ‘all other assets’ to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2017. At September 30, 2018, such cash is no longer considered restricted in nature.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED
On January 1, 2018, we adopted the FASB ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 2016-02, Leases, and the related amendments (ASC 606)842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize an operating lease asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet, with the exception of short-term leases. We elected to adoptadopted the new standard using the fullmodified retrospective method, where the standard was applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard was recognizedapproach under which leases existing at, or entered into after January 1, 2016. In addition, we2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with our historical accounting. The Company has elected the practical expedientexpedients upon transition that allow entities not to reassess lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for contract modifications, which essentially meansleases that the termsexisted prior to adoption. 
The most significant impact of the contract that existedstandard is the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets are included in "All other assets" and operating lease liabilities are included in "All other current liabilities" and "All other liabilities" on our consolidated statement of financial position. Finance lease assets are included in "Property, plant and equipment," and finance lease liabilities are included in "Short-term debt," and "Long-term debt" on our consolidated statement of financial position.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the beginninglater of the earliest period presented can be assumed to have been in place sincelease commencement date or the inception of the contract (i.e., not practical to separately evaluate the effects of all prior contract modifications). This standard requires us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time based on when control of goods and services transfer to a customer. As a resulteffective date of adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, based on the standard, we changedpresent value of lease payments over the presentationremaining lease term. Finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date. As most of our financial statements, including: (1) timing of revenue recognition, and (2) changes in classification between revenue and costs. The standard has no cash impact and, as such, doesleases do not affect the economics ofprovide an implicit rate, we use our underlying customer contracts. Our policy on recognizing revenue is as follows:
Revenue from Sale of Equipment
Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

We recognize revenue on agreements for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications, including long-term construction projects, on an over-time basis utilizing cost inputs as the measurement criteria in assessing the progress toward completion. Our estimate of costs to be incurred to fulfill our promise to a customer isincremental collateralized borrowing rate based on our historythe information available at commencement date in determining the present value of manufacturinglease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or constructing similar assets for customers and is updated routinely to reflect changes in quantity or pricing ofterminate the inputs. We begin to recognize revenue on these contracts when the contract specific inventory becomes customized for a customer, which is reflective of our initial transfer of control of the incurred costs. We provide for potential losses on any of these agreementslease when it is probablereasonably certain that we will incurexercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the loss.lease term. Short-term leases under one year do not result in a ROU asset, but are recognized in the income statement only on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company

Our billing termshas made an election to include within our operating lease liability future payments for these over-time contracts vary, but are generally based on achieving specified milestones. both lease and non-lease components. See "Note 8. Leases" for additional information.
The differences between the timingadoption of our revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to our contract asset or contract liability positions.
Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point In Time

We recognize revenue for non-customized equipment at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is no earlier than when the customer has physical possession of the product. Equipment for which we recognize revenue at a point in time include goods we manufacture on a standardized basis for sale to the market. We use proof of delivery for certain large equipment with more complex logistics associated with the shipment, whereas the delivery of other equipment is determined based on historical data of transit times between regions.
On occasion we sell products with a right of return. We use our accumulated experience to estimate and provide for such returns when we record the sale. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, we recognize revenue when we have concluded that the customer has control of the goods and that acceptance is likely to occur.

Our billing terms for these point in time equipment contracts vary, but are generally based on shipment of the goods to the customer.

Revenue from Sale of Services
Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

Revenue on Oilfield Services is recognized on an overtime basis as performed. We also sell product services under long-term product maintenance or extended warranty agreements in our Turbomachinery & Process Solutions and Oilfield Equipment segments. These agreements require us to maintain the customers' assets over the service agreement contract terms, which generally range from 10 to 20 years. In general, these are contractual arrangements to provide services, repairs, and maintenance of a covered unit (gas turbines for mechanical drive or power generation, primarily on LNG applications, drilling rigs). These services are performed at various times during the life of the contract, thus the costs of performing services are incurred on other than a straight-line basis. We recognize related sales based on the extent of our progress toward completion measured by actual costs incurred in relation to total expected costs. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on any of these agreements when that loss is probable. BHGE utilizes historical customer data, prior product performance data, statistical analysis, third-party data, and internal management estimates to calculate contract-specific margins. In certain contracts, the total transaction price is variable based on customer utilization, which is excluded from the contract margin until the period that the customer has utilized to appropriately reflect the revenue activitythis standard resulted in the period earned.

Our billing terms for these contracts are generally based on the occurrencerecording of a major maintenance event within the contract or asset utilization (i.e. usage per hour). The differences between the timingROU assets and operating lease liabilities of our revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to our contract asset or contract liability positions.
Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point In Time

We sell certain tangible products, largely spare equipment, through our services business. We recognize revenues for this equipment at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is at the point in time we deliver the spare part to the customer. Our billing terms for these point in time service contracts vary, but are generally based on shipment of the goods to the customer.
Impact of Adoption
As a result of the adoption of the standard, the timing of revenue recognition on our long-term product service agreements is affected. Although we continue to recognize revenue over time on these contracts, there are

BHGE LLC 2018 Third Quarter FORM 10-Q | 9



Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

changes to how contract modifications, termination clauses and purchase options are accounted for by us. In particular, under the previous standard, the cumulative impact from a contract modification on revenue already recorded is recognized in the period in which the modification is agreed. Under the new standard, the impact from certain types of modifications is recognized over the remaining life of the contract.
The change in historical periods to our statements of income (loss) related to the adoption of the standard is summarized below:

The cumulative impact to our retained earnings (included in our net parent investment) as of January 1, 2016 was a reduction of $432 million.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted the FASB ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. The ASU eliminated the deferral of tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory. As a result, the tax expense from the intercompany sale of assets, other than inventory, and associated changes to deferred taxes are recognized when the sale occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction have not been recognized. The effect of the adoption of the standard was an increase to retained earnings of $67$844 million as of January 1, 20182019 on our consolidated statements of financial position with an immaterial impact on our consolidated statements of equity and no otherrelated impact toon our financial statements. Future earnings will be reduced in total by this amount. The effect of the change on future transactions will depend on the nature and amount of future transactions as it will affect the timing of recognition of both tax expenses and tax benefits, with no change in the associated cash flows.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted the FASB ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which changed the income statement presentation of

net periodic benefit cost by requiring separation between the service cost component and all other components. The service cost component is presented as an operating expense with other similar compensation costs arising for services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The non operating components are presented outside of income from operations.
The change in historical periods to ourconsolidated statements of income (loss) related. Short-term leases have not been recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.
Derivatives and Hedging

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. Since there was no impact from the new guidance to our consolidated financial statements, no transition adjustments were recorded. ASU 2017-12 simplifies the application of hedge accounting and expands the strategies that qualify for hedge accounting. In accordance with the ASU, both the effective and ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge are initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ASU requires certain changes to the adoptionpresentation of ASU No. 2017-07 is summarized below:

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The ASU provides that the stranded tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the balance of other comprehensive earnings may be reclassified to retained earnings. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with an election to adopt early. The ASU is not expected to have a material effect to our financial statements.

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The ASU establishesintroduces a right-of-use (ROU)new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP, which generally require that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases willloss be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract.incurred before it is recognized. The new standard will also apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that added an alternative transition method, which allows companies to apply the provisions of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2019 through recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 (i.e. without retrospectively adjusting comparative periods).2019. We intend to apply this alternative transition method. We are currently in the process of accumulating and evaluating all the necessary information required to properly account for our lease portfolio under the new standard. Additionally, we are implementing an enterprise-wide lease management system to support the ongoing accounting requirements. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoingconsolidated financial reporting, we anticipate that the adoption of the ASU is expected to result in the recognition of right of use asset and related liability in the range of approximately $600 million and $750 million with an estimated immaterial effect to our retained earnings and cash flows.

statements.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

(3)
Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase consideration over fair value of the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of GE O&G and Baker Hughes, including expected future synergies and operating efficiencies. Goodwill resulting from the Transactions has been primarily allocated to the Oilfield Services segment, of which $67 million is deductible for tax purposes. See "Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for allocation of goodwill to all the segments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. These adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill from December 31, 2017 of $891 millionprimarily due to a reduction in the fair value of property, plant and equipment of $362 million, equity method investments of $228 million, intangible assets of $123 million and an increase in other liabilities of $314 million primarily related to uncertain tax positions, warranty, and other sundry liabilities. As a result of the decrease in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a cumulative decrease to depreciation and amortization expense of $33 million.  We reclassified certain balances to conform to our current presentation.

Includes goodwill associated with the acquisition of Baker Hughes. The final determination of fair value of the assets and liabilities and the related goodwill associated with the acquisition of Baker Hughes that was concluded in the second quarter of 2018. Of the total goodwill of $13,669 million resulting from the acquisition of Baker Hughes, $12,604 million is allocated to our Oilfield Services segment and the remainder to our other segments based on the expected benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
We test goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter of each year using data as of July 1 of that year, which would include consideration of any segment realignment. Theyear. Our reporting units are the same as our four reportable segments. We also test goodwill for impairment test consists of two steps:between annual impairment testing dates whenever events or circumstances occur that, in step one, the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared with its fair value; in step two, which is applied only when the carrying value isour judgment, could more likely than its fair value, the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is derived by deductingnot reduce the fair value of one or more reporting units below its carrying amount. In assessing the possibility that a reporting unit's assetsunit’s fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates, we consider all available evidence, including, but not limited to, (i) the results of our impairment testing at the prior annual impairment testing date, in particular the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and liabilitiesthe magnitude thereof, if any, (iii) the impact of the separation from GE, if any, and (iv) declines in the market capitalization of BHGE below its book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, if any. During the first quarter of 2019, we have not identified any events or circumstances that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of its equity, and comparing that amount with the carrying amountone or more of goodwill. We determined fair values for each of the reporting units using a combination of the market approach and the income approach. We assessed the valuation methodologies based upon the relevance and available data and have weighted the results appropriately.
Valuations using the market approach were derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses was based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. A market approach is limited to reporting units for which there are publicly traded companies that have the characteristics similar to our businesses.
Under the income approach, fair value was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We used our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and included an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each business. Actual results may differ from those assumed in our forecasts. We derived our discount rates using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to our reporting units to estimatebelow its carrying amount.
As of March 31, 2019, we believe that the cost of equity financing. We used discount ratesgoodwill is recoverable, however, there can be no assurances that are commensurate with the riskssustained declines in macroeconomic or business conditions affecting our industry and uncertainty inherent in the respective businessesbusiness will not occur. The impairment testing involves significant management judgment and in our internally developed forecasts. Discount rates used in our reporting unit valuations ranged from 10% to 11.5%. Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors includingassumptions about future commodity pricing, supply and demand for our goods and services, and market conditions, which are difficult to forecast in volatile economic environments. If actual operating results. It is reasonably possible thatresults materially differ from the judgments and estimates described above could changeestimated assumptions utilized in our forecasts, we may need to record impairment charges in future periods.
We performed our annual impairment test of goodwill as of July 1, 2018 for all four of our reporting units.  The step one impairment test was performed considering macroeconomic and industry conditions, overall financial

performance of the reporting unit and long-term forecasts, among other factors, all of which require considerable judgment. Based on the results of our step one testing, the fair values of each of the four reporting units exceeded their carrying values; therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not required to be performed for any of our reporting units and no goodwill impairment was recognized. 
As of September 30, 2018, we believe that the goodwill is recoverable for all four reporting units, however, there can be no assurances that the goodwill will not be impaired in future periods.

The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, certain affirmative covenants and no negative covenants. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the 2017 Credit Agreement, and other customary defaults. No such events of default have occurred. During the nine months ended September 30,At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement.

We have a commercial paper program under which itwe may issue from time to time up to $3 billion in commercial paper with maturities of no more than 397 days. At September 30,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we hadthere were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program. The maximum combined borrowing at any time under both the 2017 Credit Agreement and the commercial paper program is $3 billion.

Concurrent with the Transactions associated with the acquisition of Baker Hughes on July 3, 2017, Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. became a co-obligor, jointly and severally with us, on our registered debt securities.  This co-obligor is a 100%-owned finance subsidiary of usthe Company that was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as a co-obligor of debt securities and has no assets or operations other than those related to its sole purpose.

Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions, including, but not limited to, the creation of certain liens securing debt, the entry into certain sale-leaseback transactions and engaging in certain merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions in excess of specified limits.
The estimated fair value of total borrowings at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 was $6,983$6,966 million and $8,466$6,629 million, respectively. For a majority of our borrowings the fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices. Where market prices are not available, we estimate fair values based on valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data adjusted for our non-performance risk.
See "Note 16.15. Related Party Transactions" for additional information on the short-term borrowings from GE.

NOTE 11.10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
CertainIn 2018, certain of our U.S. employees arewere covered under various U.S. GE employee benefit plans, including GE's retirement plans (pension, retiree health and life insurance, and savings benefit plans). Beginning in 2019, such employees ceased to participate in these GE U.S. plans. In addition, certain United Kingdom (UK) employees participate in the GE UK Pension Plan. We are allocated relevant participation costs for these GE employee benefit plans as part of multi-employer plans. As such, we have not recorded any liabilities associated with our participation in these plans. Expenses associated with our participation in these plans was $46$2 million and $35$37 million in the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In November 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with GE whereby GE will transfer the assets and 2017, respectively, and $126 million and $106 millionliabilities of the GE UK Pension Plan related to the oil & gas businesses to BHGE on what is intended to be a fully funded basis. Subsequent to this transfer, BHGE employees shall cease to participate in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.GE UK Pension Plan. This transfer is expected to close in 2019.
In addition to these GE plans, certain of our employees are also covered by company sponsored employee defined benefit plans. These defined benefit plans include sevenfour U.S. plans and six non-U.S. plans, primarily in the UK, Germany, and Canada, all with plan assets or obligations greater than $20 million. We use a December 31 measurement date for these plans. These defined benefit plans generally provide benefits to employees based on formulas recognizing length of service and earnings.
The components of net periodic cost (benefit) of plans sponsored by us are as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:March 31:

NOTE 12.11. INCOME TAXES
We are treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, except for certain U.S. corporations owned by the Company, we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws. Our members are each required to take into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes their distributive share of our items of income, gain, loss and deduction, which generally includes the U.S. operations of both Baker Hughes and GE O&G. BHGE and GE are each taxed on their distributive share of income and gain, whether or not a corresponding amount of cash or other property is distributed to them. For assets held indirectly by us through subsidiaries, including both foreign and U.S., the taxes attributable to those subsidiaries are reflected in our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (U.S. tax reform) that lowers the statutory tax rate on U.S. earnings, taxes historic foreign earnings previously deferred from U.S. taxation at a reduced rate of tax (transition tax), establishes a territorial tax system and enacts new taxes associated with global operations. The transition tax associated with our non-U.S. operations will be borne by our members. The impact of U.S. tax reform was recorded on a provisional basis as the legislation provides for additional guidance to be issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on several provisions including the computation of the transition tax which could impact the calculation of the transition tax charge and the revaluation of deferred taxes. In addition, analysis performed and conclusions reached as part of the tax return filing process and additional guidance on accounting for tax reform could affect the provisional amount.
Additionally, as part of U.S. tax reform, the U.S. has enacted a tax on "base eroding" payments from the U.S. and a minimum tax on foreign earnings (global intangible low-taxed income) that would be borne by our members.

Due to the fact certain aspects of the new law and the effect on our operations are uncertain and the accounting rules associated with this provision have not been resolved, our members have not made a provisional accrual for the deferred tax aspects of this provision and have not yet made an accounting policy election on the deferred tax treatment of this tax.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, income tax expense was $108$67 million compared to a tax expense of $117$38 million for the prior year quarter. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the current effective tax rate is primarily duerelated to $82the geographical mix of earnings and losses, coupled with $21 million related to losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances. Since we are a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, any tax benefits associated with U.S. losses are recognized by our members and not reflected in our tax expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, income tax expense was $208 million compared to a tax expense of $115 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the current effective tax rate is primarily due to $168 million related to losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances and $22 million of withholding taxes in certain jurisdictions. Since we are a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, any tax benefits associated with U.S. losses are recognized by our members and not reflected in our tax expense. The first six months of the prior year period reflects 100% of the taxes associated with U.S. and non-U.S. earnings of the GE O&G business.

The most significant unobservable input used in the valuation of our Level 3 instruments is the discount rate. Discount rates are determined based on inputs that market participants would use when pricing investments, including credit and liquidity risk. An increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of our investment securities. There are no unrealized gains or losses recognized in the condensed consolidated and combined statement of income (loss) on account of any Level 3 instrument still held at the reporting date. At September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we held $156$144 million and $127$149 million, respectively, of these investment securities on behalf of GE.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Derivatives are classified in the captions "All other current assets," "All other assets," "All other current liabilities," and "All other liabilities" depending on their respective maturity date.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $50 million and $67 million of derivative assets are recorded in "All other current assets" and $5 million and $7 million are recorded in "All other assets" of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $44 million and $79 million of derivative liabilities are recorded in "All other current liabilities" and $3 million and $3 million are recorded in "All other liabilities" of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively.
RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
We buy, manufacture and sell components and products as well as provide services across global markets. These activities expose us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which can adversely affect revenues earned and costs of operating our business. When the currency in which we sell equipment differs from the primary currency (known as its functional currency) and the exchange rate fluctuates, it will affect the revenue we earn on the sale. These sales and purchase transactions also create receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies, along with other monetary assets and liabilities, which expose us to foreign currency gains and losses based on changes in exchange rates. Changes in the price of a raw material that we use in manufacturing can affect the cost of manufacturing. We use derivatives to mitigate or eliminate these exposures.
FORMS OF HEDGING
Cash Flow Hedges
We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, the vast majority of our derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. We also use commodity derivatives to reduce or eliminate price risk on raw materials purchased for use in manufacturing.


                                
BHGE LLC 2018 Third2019 First Quarter FORM 10-Q | 2418





Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements


purchased for use in manufacturing.
Economic Hedges
These derivatives are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint (and therefore we do not apply hedge accounting to the relationship) but otherwise serve the same economic purpose as other hedging arrangements. Some economic hedges are used when changes in the carrying amount of the hedged item are already recorded in earnings in the same period as the derivative, making hedge accounting unnecessary. For some other types of economic hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings currently but changes in the value of the forecasted foreign currency cash flows are only recognized in earnings when they occur. As a result, even though the derivative is an effective economic hedge, there is a net effect on earnings in each period due to differences in the timing of earnings recognition between the derivative and the hedged item. These derivatives are marked to fair value through earnings each period.
NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES
The notional amount of a derivative is the number of units of the underlying (for example, the notional principal amount of the debt in an interest rate swap). A substantial majority of the outstanding notional amount of $7.2$5.4 billion and $10.2$6.4 billion at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, is related to hedges of anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currency, commodity purchases, and contractual terms in contracts that are considered embedded derivatives and for intercompany borrowings in foreign currencies. We generally disclose derivative notional amounts on a gross basis to indicate the total counterparty risk. Where we have gross purchase and sale derivative contracts for a particular currency, we look to execute these contracts with the same counterparty to reduce our exposure. The corresponding net notional amounts were $2.9 billion and $2.8 billion and $3.3 billion at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.
The table below provides additional information about how derivatives are reflected in our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

EFFECTS OF DERIVATIVES ON EARNINGS
All derivatives are marked to fair value on our condensed consolidated and combined statement of financial position, whether they are designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes or are used as economic hedges. As discussed in the previous sections, each type of hedge affects the financial statements differently. In some economic hedges, both the hedged item and the hedging derivative offset in earnings in the same period. In other economic hedges, the hedged item and the hedging derivative offset in earnings in different periods. In cash flow, the effective portion of the hedging derivative is offset in separate components of equity and ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings. The table below summarizes these offsets and the net effect on pre-tax earnings.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in a separate component of equity (referred to below as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or AOCI) and are recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs.

On November 13, 2018, we entered into a Master Agreement and a series of related ancillary agreements and binding term sheets (which were later negotiated into definitive agreements) with GE and BHGE (collectively, the Master Agreement Framework) designed to further solidify the commercial and technological collaborations between us and GE and to facilitate our ability to transition from operating as a controlled company. In particular, the Master Agreement Framework contemplates long-term agreements between us, BHGE and GE on technology, fulfillment and other key areas to provide greater clarity to customers, employees and shareholders.
Key elements of the Master Agreement Framework include:
Secured long-term collaboration on critical rotating equipment
Under the terms of the Master Agreement Framework, we have defined the parameters for a long-term collaboration and strategic relationship with GE on certain critical rotating equipment products.
We have entered into an aero-derivative joint venture (JV) agreement with GE to form a JV relating to the parties’ respective aero-derivative gas turbine products and services. Effectiveness of the JV is subject to regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions. In addition, the JV cannot become effective prior to the first business day of the month after the "Trigger Date" which is defined as the later of (i) July 3, 2019 and (ii) the date on which GE and its affiliates cease to own more than 50% of the voting power of BHGE’s outstanding common stock. These jet engine aero-derivative products are mainly used in our LNG, onshore-offshore production, pipeline and industrial segments within our Turbomachinery & Process Solutions segment and by GE in its power generation business. GE and we will contribute certain assets, inventory and service facilities into the JV and both companies will jointly control operations. In addition to the contributions to the JV, we agreed to pay $60 million to GE, in order to equalize each party's interests in the JV at 50%. The JV will have a supply and technology development agreement with GE’s aviation business (GE Aviation), which will revise and extend pricing arrangements as compared to BHGE’s existing supply agreement, and which will become effective at the Trigger Date.
Additionally, we have entered into an industrial steam turbine (IST) sale agreement with GE, which, among other things, sets forth the terms and conditions on which BHGE LLC will transfer certain of its assets, liabilities and employees that are related to BHGE LLC’s existing business of developing, designing, engineering, marketing, supplying, installing and servicing certain industrial steam turbine product lines to GE. In addition to the IST

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

business transfer, the agreement provides that we will make a cash payment of $13 million to an affiliate of GE at the closing of the transactions subject to certain working capital adjustments. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the transfer of the IST business is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.
In parallel, we have also entered into an agreement for the long-term supply and related distribution arrangement with GE for heavy-duty gas turbine technology at the current pricing levels, which will become effective at the Trigger Date. Under this agreement BHGE LLC will be appointed as GE's exclusive distributor (with limited exceptions) within the oil and gas industry with respect to the heavy-duty gas turbine units for an initial term of 5 years and associated services (including parts and components) for an initial term of 20 years or the operating service life of the relevant gas turbine, whichever is more. The heavy-duty gas turbine technologies are important components of TPS’ offerings and the long-term agreements provide greater clarity on the commercial approach and customer fulfillment, and will enable us and GE to jointly innovate on leading technology.
Preserved access to GE Digital software & technology
As part of the Master Agreement Framework, BHGE LLC has agreed with GE Digital to maintain, subject to certain conditions, BHGE LLC's current status as the exclusive reseller of GE Digital offerings in the oil & gas space, and BHGE LLC will continue to source exclusively from GE Digital for certain GE Digital offerings for oil and gas applications. As part of this agreement, BHGE LLC and GE Digital have revised and extended certain pricing arrangements and have established service level obligations.
Other key agreements
• GE and we agreed to maintain current operations and pricing levels with regards to Control upgrade services we offer through our Digitals Solution segment division for the 4 years commencing on the Trigger Date.
• GE will transfer to BHGE certain UK pension liabilities related to the oil and gas businesses of BHGE and certain specified former oil and gas businesses of GE on what is intended to be a fully funded basis (using agreed upon actuarial assumptions). No liabilities associated with GE’s broad-based U.S. defined benefit pension plan will be transferred to us. The transfer of the UK pension liabilities is expected to be completed in 2019.
• The Tax Matters Agreement with GE that was negotiated at the time of the Transactions will be clarified but otherwise will remain substantially in place and both companies retain the ability to monetize certain tax benefits.
• Under the terms of the Master Agreement Framework, the annual intercompany services fee of $55 million that we agreed to pay GE as part of the Transactions is reduced by 50% to $27.5 million per year beginning on January 1, 2019. The Intercompany Services Agreement will terminate 90 days following the Trigger Date (except with respect to certain tools access).
In connection with the Master Agreement Framework, we have agreed to terminate certain aspects of the transfer restrictions previously applicable to GE under the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2017, by and between us and GE, as amended from time to time (the Stockholders Agreement). The transfer restrictions prohibited GE from transferring any shares of our employees are covered under variouscommon stock prior to July 3, 2019 (except to its affiliates) without the approval of the Conflicts Committee of our board of directors. Other provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, including continuing restrictions on certain private transfers of shares of our common stock by GE, sponsored employee benefit plans, including GE's retirement plans (pension, retiree health and life insurance,approval requirements for related party transactions, remain in effect.
In addition, the Stockholders Agreement was amended and savings benefit plans)restated to provide that, following the Trigger Date and active healthuntil GE and life insurance benefit plans. Further details are provided in "Note 11.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 thereto.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On July 3, 2017, we closed the Transactions to combine GE O&G and Baker Hughes, creating a fullstream oilfield technology provider that has a unique mix of integrated oilfield products, services and digital solutions. The Transactions were executed using a partnership structure, pursuant to which GE O&G and Baker Hughes each contributed their operating assets to the Company. As of March 31, 2019, GE holds an approximate 62.5% controlling50.3% interest in us and former Baker Hughes shareholders holdBHGE holds an approximate 37.5% interest through the ownership of 100% of Class A common stock of BHGE.49.7% interest. GE's interest is held through a voting interest of Class B Common Stock in BHGE and its economic interest through a corresponding number of our common units. The results of operations for the Company include the results of Baker Hughes from July 3, 2017 onward, therefore, the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 may not be comparable to the results for the nine months ended September, 2017. The majority of the Baker Hughes business operations are included in the Oilfield Services segment. We operate through our four business segments: Oilfield Services (OFS), Oilfield Equipment (OFE), Turbomachinery & Processing Solutions (TPS), and Digital Solutions (DS). As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, BHGE LLC employs approximately 65,00067,000 employees and operates in more than 120 countries.
In the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, we generated revenue of $5,665$5,615 million, compared to $5,301$5,399 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2018. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased activity in OFS and to a lesser extent, by DS and OFE, partially offset by declines in TPS.TPS and DS. Income before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliate was $233$138 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, and included restructuring and impairment charges of $66$62 million and separation and merger and related costs of $17$34 million. The restructuring and impairment charges were recorded as a result of our continued actions to adjust our operations and cost structure. For the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2018, loss before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliate was $230$85 million, which also included restructuring and impairment charges of $191$162 million, and separation and merger and related costs of $159$46 million.
In June 2018, GE announced their intention for a fullto pursue an orderly separation from BHGE over time. To that end, during the fourth quarter of 2018, certain equity transactions were completed and GE’s ownership of BHGE was reduced from approximately 62.5% to approximately 50.4%. At the same time, we entered into a Master Agreement Framework which includes a series of related ancillary agreements and binding term sheets (which were later negotiated into definitive agreements) designed to further solidify the commercial and technological collaboration between us and GE and to position us for the future. The Master Agreement Framework focuses on areas where we work most closely with GE on developing leading technology and executing for customers. First, we defined the parameters for long-term collaboration and partnership with GE on critical rotating equipment technology. Second, for our digital software and technology business we will maintain the status quo as the exclusive supplier of GE Digital oil and-gas applications. Finally, we reached agreements on a number of other areas including our controls business, pension, taxes, and intercompany services. All agreements within the Master Agreement Framework were finalized during the first quarter of 2019. For further details on the Master Agreement Framework see "Note 15. Related Party Transactions" of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in an orderly fashionthis Quarterly Report.
In aggregate, we anticipate that the net financial impact of the agreements contemplated by the Master Agreement Framework will have a slightly negative impact on our operating margin rates of approximately 20 to 40 basis points. In addition, we expect to incur one-time charges related to separation from GE of approximately $0.2 billion to $0.3 billion over the next 2three years. We expect these charges to 3 years.be primarily related to the build-out of information technology infrastructure as well as customary transaction fees.
OUTLOOK
Our business is exposed to a number of different macro factors, which influence our expectations and outlook. All of our outlook expectations are purely based on the market as we see it today, and are subject to changing conditions in the industry.
North America onshore activity: in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, we experienced an increasea decline in the rig count, as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2018. We expect that in the increasedshort-term, North American onshore activity in North America to continue to grow forwill remain subdued as commodity prices fluctuate and supply chain constraints abate. Over the remainder of 2018. Welong-term, we remain optimistic about the outlook.

BHGE LLC 2019 First Quarter FORM 10-Q | 29



International onshore activity: we have seen a moderate increase in rig count activity in the thirdfirst quarter of 20182019 and expect this growth to continue for the remainder of the year, at a moderate rate. We have seen signs of improvement with the increase in commodity prices during the quarter, but due to continued volatility, we remain cautious as to growth expectations.
Offshore projects: as commodity prices have stabilized, we have begun to see increasing customer activity on offshore projects and more final investment decisions being made. Subsea tree awards increased in 2017 and through the first three quarters of 2018 and we expect treesubsea awards to increase for the remainder of 2018 andbe roughly flat in 2019, though still at levels well below prior 2012 & 2013 peaks. We expect this growthcustomers to continue to evaluate the timing of final investment decisions, and in offshore projects to positively impact orders.light of increased commodity price volatility, there may be some project delays.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects: while currently oversupplied, we have seen twobelieve a significant number of final investment decisions for new LNG capacity thus far in 2018 as customers positionare needed to fill the projected supply-demand imbalance in the early to middle

BHGE LLC 2018 Third Quarter FORM 10-Q | 34



part of the next decade. We continue to view the long-term economics of the LNG industry as positive given our outlook for supply and demand.
Refinery, petrochemical and industrial projects: in refining, we believe large, complex refineries should gain advantage in a more competitive, oversupplied landscape in 20182019 as the industry globalizes and refiners position to meet local demand and secure export potential. In petrochemicals, we continue to see healthy demand and cost-advantaged supply driving projects forward in 2018.2019. The industrial market continues to grow as outdated infrastructure is replaced, policy changes come into effect and power is decentralized. We continue to see growing demand across these markets intoin 2019.
We have other segments in our portfolio that are more correlated with different industrial metrics such as our Digital Solutions business, which we expect to grow at or above global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Overall, we believe our portfolio is uniquely positioned to compete across the value chain, and deliver unique solutions for our customers. We remain optimistic about the long-term economics of the industry, but are continuing to operate with flexibility given our expectations for volatility and changing assumptions in the near term.
In 2016, solarSolar and wind net additions exceededcontinue to exceed coal and gas for the first time. This also occurred in 2017.gas. Governments may change or may not continue incentives for renewable energy additions.  In the long term, renewables' cost decline may accelerate to compete with new-built fossil capacity, however, we do not anticipate any significant impacts to our business in the foreseeable future.
Despite the near-term volatility, the long-term outlook for our industry remains strong. We believe the world’s demand for energy will continue to rise, and the supply of energy will continue to increase in complexity, requiring greater service intensity and more advanced technology from oilfield service companies. As such, we remain focused on delivering innovative cost-efficient solutions that deliver step changes in operating and economic performance for our customers.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity position as of and for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes of the Company.
We operate in more than 120 countries helping customers find, evaluate, drill, produce, transport and process hydrocarbon resources. Our revenue is predominately generated from the sale of products and services to major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide, and is dependent on spending by our customers for oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. This spending is driven by a number of factors, including our customers' forecasts of future energy demand and supply, their access to resources to develop and produce oil and natural gas, their ability to fund their capital programs, the impact of new government regulations and most importantly, their expectations for oil and natural gas prices as a key driver of their cash flows.

Baker Hughes Rig Count
The Baker Hughes rig counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. When drilling rigs are active they consume products and services produced by the oil service industry. Rig count trends are driven by the exploration and development spending by oil and natural gas companies, which in turn is influenced by current and future price expectations for oil and natural gas. The counts may reflect the relative strength and stability of energy prices and overall market activity; however, these counts should not be solely relied on as other specific and pervasive conditions may exist that affect overall energy prices and market activity.
We have been providing rig counts to the public since 1944. We gather all relevant data through our field service personnel, who obtain the necessary data from routine visits to the various rigs, customers, contractors and other outside sources as necessary. We base the classification of a well as either oil or natural gas primarily upon filings made by operators in the relevant jurisdiction. This data is then compiled and distributed to various wire services and trade associations and is published on our website. We believe the counting process and resulting data is reliable; however, it is subject to our ability to obtain accurate and timely information. Rig counts are compiled weekly for the U.S. and Canada and monthly for all international rigs. Published international rig counts do not include rigs drilling in certain locations, such as Russia, the Caspian region, and onshore China because this information is not readily available.
Rigs in the U.S. and Canada are counted as active if, on the day the count is taken, the well being drilled has been started but drilling has not been completed and the well is anticipated to be of sufficient depth to be a potential consumer of our drill bits. In international areas, rigs are counted on a weekly basis and deemed active if drilling activities occurred during the majority of the week. The weekly results are then averaged for the month and published accordingly. The rig count does not include rigs that are in transit from one location to another, rigging up,

being used in non-drilling activities including production testing, completion and workover, and are not expected to be significant consumers of drill bits.
The rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussions below relating to significant line items from our condensed consolidated and combined statements of income (loss) are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items. All dollar amounts in tabulations in this section are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.
Our condensed consolidated and combined statement of income (loss) displays sales and costs of sales in accordance with SEC regulations under which "goods" is required to include all sales of tangible products and "services" must include all other sales, including other service activities. For the amounts shown below, we distinguish between "equipment" and "product services", where product services refer to sales under product services agreements, including sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs), which is an important part of its operations. We refer to "product services" simply as "services" within the Business Environment section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The performance of our operating segments is evaluated based on segment operating income (loss), which is defined as income (loss) before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliate and before the following: net interest expense, net other non operating income, corporate expenses, restructuring, impairment and other charges, inventory impairments, separation and merger related costs, and certain gains and losses not allocated to the operating segments.
In evaluating the segment performance, the Company primarily uses the following:
Volume: Volume is the increase or decrease in products and/or services sold period-over-period excluding the impact of foreign exchange and price. The volume impact on profit is calculated by multiplying the prior period profit rate by the change in revenue volume between the current and prior period. It also includes price, defined as the change in sales price for a comparable product or service period-over-period and is calculated as the period-over-period change in sales prices of comparable products and services.
Foreign Exchange (FX):FX measures the translational foreign exchange impact, or the translation impact of the period-over-period change on sales and costs directly attributable to change in the foreign exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar. FX impact is calculated by multiplying the functional currency amounts (revenue or profit) with the period-over-period FX rate variance, using the average exchange rate for the respective period.

BHGE LLC 2019 First Quarter FORM 10-Q | 32



(Inflation)/Deflation: (Inflation)/deflation is defined as the increase or decrease in direct and indirect costs of the same type for an equal amount of volume. It is calculated as the year-over-year change in cost (i.e. price paid) of direct material, compensation & benefits and overhead costs.
Productivity: Productivity is measured by the remaining variance in profit, after adjusting for the period-over-period impact of volume & price, foreign exchange and (inflation)/deflation as defined above. Improved or lower period-over-period cost productivity is the result of cost efficiencies or inefficiencies, such as cost decreasing or increasing more than volume, or cost increasing or decreasing less than volume, or changes in sales mix among segments. This also includes the period-over-period variance of transactional foreign exchange, aside from those foreign currency devaluations that are reported separately for business evaluation purposes.

Oilfield Equipment
Oilfield Equipment revenue decreased $99 million, or 5%, in the first nine months of 2018 compared to the first nine months of 2017. The decrease was driven by lower throughput as a result of decreasing RPO in the Subsea Production Systems business, as well as lower convertible orders across the Flexible Pipe and Drilling Systems businesses, partially offset with higher volume in the Surface Pressure Control and Services businesses.
Oilfield Equipment segment operating loss was $12 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared to segment operating income of $26 million in the first nine months of 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources and financial flexibility in order to fund the requirements of our business. At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $4,741$3,067 million compared to $7,026$3,677 million at December 31, 2017.2018. Cash and cash equivalents includes $717 million and $747 million of cash held on behalf of GE at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
At September 30, 2018,Excluding cash held on behalf of GE, our U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $3.2$0.4 billion and $0.7 billion while our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $1.9 billion and $2.3 billion of our cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries compared to approximately $3.2 billion atas of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018, respectively. A substantial portion of the cash held by foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 has been reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations. At September 30, 2018, our intent is, among other things, to use this cash to fund the operations of our foreign subsidiaries, and we have not changed our indefinite reinvestment decision as a result of U.S. tax reform but will reassess this during the course of 2018. If we decide at a later date to repatriate those funds to the U.S., we may be required to provide taxes on certain of those funds, however, due to the enactment of U.S. tax reform, repatriations of foreign earnings will generally be free of U.S. federal tax but may incur other taxes such as withholding or state taxes.

BHGE LLC hasWe have a five-year $3 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the 2017 Credit Agreement) with commercial banks maturing in July 2022.

Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the 2017 Credit Agreement, and other customary defaults. At September 30,No such events of default have occurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, wethere were in compliance with all ofno borrowings under the credit facility's covenants.2017 Credit Agreement.

The maximum combined borrowing at any time under both the 2017 Credit Agreement and the commercial paper program is $3 billion. 
On November 6, 2017, BHGE announced that its board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $3 billion of our common units from the GE and BHGE. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased 30.7 million of our common units for a total consideration of $1 billion. At September 30, 2018, we had authorization remaining to repurchase up to approximately $1.5 billion of our common units from BHGE and GE.
On December 15, 2017, BHGE LLC and Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. jointly filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC in order to sell up to $3 billion in debt securities in amounts to be determined at the time of an offering. Any such offering, if it does occur, may happen in one or more transactions. The specific terms of any securities to be sold will be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. The registration statement will expire in 2020.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we used cash to fund a variety of activities including certain working capital needs and restructuring costs, capital expenditures, repurchase of our common units and distribution to members. We believe that cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and the available credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to manage our global cash needs.
Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by (used in) each type of activity were as follows for the nine months ended September 30:

Operating activities$671
$(585)
Investing activities(204)(3,879)
Financing activities(2,665)8,210
Operating Activities
Our largest source of operating cash is payments from customers, of which the largest component is collecting cash related to sales of products and services including advance payments or progress collections for work to be performed. The primary use of operating cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities and others for a wide range of material and services.

BHGE LLC 2018 Third Quarter FORM 10-Q | 43



Cash flows from operating activities generated cash of $671 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These cash inflows were primarily driven by our net loss adjusted for certain noncash items (depreciation, amortization and provision for deferred taxes) partially offset by cash usage of approximately $361 million related to restructuring and merger related payments. Net working capital usage was $51 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to higher inventory to sustain expected volume growth partially offset by higher payables to suppliers.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities used cash of $204 million and $3,879 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures including property, plant and equipment and software, to support and generate revenue from operations. Expenditures for capital assets were $653 million and $417 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $330 million and $76 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We also received cash proceeds from the sale of businesses of $81 million and $25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in the "Other investing items, net" caption in the condensed consolidated and combined statement of cash flows.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities used cash of $2,665 million and generated cash of $8,210 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Repayment of long-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, consisted primarily of the repayment of certain Senior Notes for a total consideration of $647 million.
As part of the authorization to repurchase $3 billion of our common units, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we also used cash of $1,025 million to repurchase our common units, on a pro rata basis from BHGE and GE. Additionally, we made a distribution to our members of $638 million.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
If market conditions were to change and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit rating. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under our committed credit facility. However, a downgrade in our credit ratings could increase the cost of borrowings under the credit facility and could also limit or preclude our ability to issue commercial paper. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding, including borrowing under the credit facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we used cash to fund a variety of activities including certain working capital needs and restructuring and GE separation related costs, capital expenditures and distribution to members. We believe that cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and the available credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to manage our global cash needs.

We also had restructuring and GE separation related payments of approximately $81 million during the quarter.

The registration statement will expire in 2020.
Customer receivables:In line with industry practice, we may bill our customers for services provided in arrears dependent upon contractual terms. In a challenging economic environment, we may experience delays in the payment of our invoices due to customers' lower cash flow from operations or their more limited access to credit markets. While historically there have not been material non-payment events, we attempt to mitigate this risk through working with our customers to restructure their debts. A customer's failure or delay in payment could have a material adverse effect on our short-term liquidity and results from operations. As of September 30, 2018, 21%March 31, 2019, 22% of our gross trade receivables were from customers in the United States. Other than the United States, no other country

Iran Threat Reduction And Syria Human Rights Act Of 2012Brexit
In June 2016, UK voters approved the UK’s exit (Brexit) from the EU. The CompanyUK was originally due to leave in March 2019 but the EU and UK have agreed a delay to Brexit, which can currently happen up to October 31, 2019 if a withdrawal agreement is makingratified by the following disclosure pursuantUK Parliament. There remains significant uncertainty as to Section 13(r)whether the withdrawal agreement between the UK government and the EU will be approved, when, if and on what terms Brexit will happen. There is a range of outcomes possible, from no Brexit to an abrupt cut-off of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Section 13(r)UK’s future trading relationship with the EU. The above withdrawal agreement contemplates a transition period to allow time for a future trade deal to be agreed.
Although our customer base is global with predominant exposure to the U.S. dollar, we have a manufacturing and service base in the UK with some euro procurement, thus we are exposed to fluctuations in value of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, enacted in 2012, BHGE is required to disclose in its periodic reports if it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in business activities relating to Iran, even if those activities are conducted in accordance with authorizations subsequently issued byBritish pound versus the U.S. Government. Reportable activities include investments that significantly enhance Iran’s abilitydollar, euro and other currencies. We have a hedging program which looks to develop petroleum resources valued at $20 million or more in the aggregate during a twelve-month period. Reporting is also required for transactions related to Iran’s domestic production of refined petroleum products or Iran’s ability to import refined petroleum products valued at $5 million or more in the aggregate during a twelve-month period.
In January 2016, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued General License H authorizing U.S.-owned or controlled foreign entities to engage in transactions with Iran if these entities meet the requirements of the general license. On May 8, 2018, President Trump announced that the United States will cease participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and begin re-imposing the U.S. nuclear-related sanctions. On June 27, 2018, OFAC revoked General License H and added Section 560.537 to the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (ITSR), which authorizes all transactions and activities that are ordinarily incident and necessary to the winding down of activities previously approved under General License H through November 4, 2018. Prior to May 8, 2018, certain non-U.S. affiliates of BHGE conducted limited activities as described below in accordance with General License H. Non-U.S. affiliates of BHGE expect to wind down activities in Iran by November 4, which may include the collection of payments for previously completed work. These activities are conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
A non-U.S. affiliate of BHGE attributed €3.8 million ($4.4 million) in gross revenues and €0.7 million ($0.8 million) in net profits during the quarter ending September 30, 2018 against previously reported transactions related to the sale of valves and parts for industrial machinery and equipment used in gas plants, petrochemical plants and gas production projects in Iran. A second non-U.S. affiliate of BHGE revised four previously received purchase orders during the third quarter of 2018 in order to reflect a reduction in scope to only spare parts that can be delivered prior to November 4, 2018.  Each of the four previously reported purchase orders are now valued at less than €0.1 million ($0.1 million).  This non-U.S. affiliate attributed less than €0.1 million ($0.1 million) in gross revenues and less than €0.1 million ($0.1 million) in net profits during the quarter ending September 30, 2018 against previously reported transactions. 
These non-U.S. affiliates do not intend to continue the activities described above beyond November 4, 2018. The Company will wind down all of these activities by that date in full compliance with U.S. sanctions.accommodate this potential volatility.
