NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Baker Hughes Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the "Company") included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. In the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. NOTE 2. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities that require an entity to recognize all derivatives as an asset or liability measured at fair value. Depending on the intended use of the derivative and its effectiveness, changes in its fair value will be reported in the period of change as either a component of earnings or a component of other comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted in a gain of $0.8 million, net of tax, recorded as the cumulative effect of an accounting change in the consolidated condensed statement of operations and a gain of $1.2 million, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company monitors its exposure to various business risks including commodity price, foreign exchange rate and interest rate risks and occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the impact of certain of these risks. The Company's policies do not permit the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company uses forward exchange contracts and currency swaps to hedge certain firm commitments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. The Company also uses crude oil swaps and collars to hedge price risk associated with the Company's crude oil production. At the inception of any new derivatives, the Company designates the derivative as a cash flow hedge or fair value hedge. The Company documents all relationships between hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company assesses whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item at both the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis. To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative must qualify either as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of the net investment in foreign operations. A fair value hedge is a hedge of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment. Both the effective and ineffective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative, along with the gain or loss on the hedged item, are recorded in earnings and reported in the consolidated condensed statements of operations on the same line as the hedged item. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid in the future related to a recognized asset or liability. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. When the hedged item is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income is reported on the same line in the consolidated condensed statements of operations as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value changes excluded from the Company's effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in 5 BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. The Company is not currently hedging any of its net investments in foreign operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company had two interest rate swaps that qualified as fair value hedges. They were fully effective, resulting in no net gain or loss recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company entered into two crude oil contracts (costless collars) and several foreign currency forward contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded a gain of $3.8 million ($2.5 million after tax) in revenue in the consolidated condensed statement of operations to recognize the effect of recording the two crude oil contracts at fair value. NOTE 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. The components of the Company's comprehensive income, net of related tax, are as follows: <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------------- ----------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income $ 137.1 $ 65.2 $ 312.0 $ 143.3 Other comprehensive income (loss): Foreign currency translation adjustments 16.1 (30.3) (23.2) (73.1) Adoption of SFAS No. 133 -- -- 1.2 -- Loss on derivative instruments -- -- (1.2) -- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total comprehensive income $ 153.2 $ 34.9 $ 288.8 $ 70.2 ============ ============ ============ ============ </Table> Total accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of the following: <Table> <Caption> September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------- ------------- Foreign currency translation adjustments $ (268.3) $ (245.1) Pension adjustment (6.3) (6.3) ------------- ------------- Total accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (274.6) $ (251.4) ============= ============= </Table> NOTE 4. UNUSUAL ITEMS During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $3.4 million on the disposition of its interest in a joint venture. The Company received net proceeds of $6.0 million that were used to repay outstanding indebtedness. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an unusual charge of $7.0 million. The cash portion of the charge was $6.0 million and consisted of severance for approximately 100 employees relating to the restructuring of the Baker Process operations in Germany. No payments were made during the first quarter of 2001, $0.3 million was paid during the second quarter of 2001 and $0.4 million was paid during the third quarter of 2001. Based on current estimates, the Company expects that $0.6 million of the accrued severance will be paid during the fourth quarter of 2001, with the remainder paid during 2002 as the employees leave the Company. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.7 million on the sale of a product line. The Company received net proceeds of $11.2 million that were used to repay outstanding indebtedness. 6 BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) During the second quarter of 2000, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $11.2 million on the sale of two product lines. The Company received net proceeds of $31.4 million that were used to repay outstanding indebtedness. The Company also recorded an unusual credit of $12.5 million from net reductions to unusual charge accruals recorded in 1999 and prior years to reflect the current estimates of remaining expenditures. The net reductions primarily related to severance accruals and accruals for lease obligations. These items are reflected as unusual credits in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded pre-tax gains (losses) of $(3.1) million and $14.1 million, respectively, related to its holdings in Varco International, Inc. ("Varco"). As of September 30, 2000, the Company had disposed of all of its Varco holdings. NOTE 5. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS On May 28, 2001, the Company redeemed its outstanding Liquid Yield Options Notes ("LYONS") at a redemption price of $786.13 per $1,000 principal amount, for a total of $301.8 million. The redemption was funded through the issuance of commercial paper. In connection with the early extinguishment of debt, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $2.3 million ($1.5 million after tax) which represents the write-off of the remaining debt issuance costs. NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS") A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted EPS calculation is as follows: <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------------- ---------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic EPS 335.8 331.2 335.5 330.5 Effect of dilutive securities - stock plans 1.5 2.6 2.0 1.9 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted EPS 337.3 333.8 337.5 332.4 ============ ============ ============ ============ Future potentially anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted EPS: Options with option price greater than market price 5.1 3.6 4.6 3.7 LYONS convertible into common stock -- 7.2 -- 7.2 </Table> NOTE 7.

SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION The Company has eight divisions that have separate management teams and infrastructures that offer different products and services. The divisions have been aggregated into two reportable segments, "Oilfield" and "Process." The Oilfield segment consists of six divisions - Baker Atlas, Baker Hughes INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift and Hughes Christensen - that manufacture and sell equipment and provide services used in the drilling, completion, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells and in reservoir measurement and evaluation. They have been aggregated because the long-term financial performance of these divisions is affected by similar economic conditions and the consolidated results are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The principal markets for this segment include all major oil and gas producing regions of the world, including North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. Customers include major multi-national, independent and national oil companies. The Oilfield segment also includes the Company's interest in an oil and gas property in Nigeria and its investments in affiliates. The Process segment consists of two divisions - Bird Machine Company and EIMCO Process Equipment - that manufacture and sell process equipment for separating solids from liquids and liquids from liquids through filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation and flotation processes. The principal markets for this segment include all regions of the world where there are significant industrial, chemical, and municipal wastewater applications and base metals activity. Customers include municipalities, contractors, engineering companies and pulp and paper, minerals, industrial and oil and gas producers. The Process segment also includes a refining and production product line. On October 30, 2001, the Company contributed certain assets and liabilities of this product line to a new entity in exchange for cash, notes receivable and an ownership interest in the new entity. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on income before income taxes, accounting changes, unusual items and interest income and expense. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. Summarized segment financial information is shown in the following table. The "Other" column includes corporate-related items, net interest expense and, as it relates to segment profit (loss), income and expense items not allocated to reportable segments. <Table> <Caption> Oilfield Process Other Total ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ REVENUES Three months ended September 30, 2001 $ 1,348.8 $ 87.2 $ -- $ 1,436.0 Three months ended September 30, 2000 $ 1,273.5 $ 80.2 $ -- $ 1,353.7 Nine months ended September 30, 2001 $ 3,762.8 $ 243.7 $ -- $ 4,006.5 Nine months ended September 30, 2000 $ 3,605.3 $ 244.7 $ -- $ 3,850.0 SEGMENT PROFIT (LOSS) Three months ended September 30, 2001 $ 263.2 $ (2.6) $ (54.7) $ 205.9 Three months ended September 30, 2000 $ 167.6 $ (0.6) $ (64.6) $ 102.4 Nine months ended September 30, 2001 $ 669.8 $ (9.9) $ (189.5) $ 470.4 Nine months ended September 30, 2000 $ 388.4 $ (3.5) $ (166.3) $ 218.6 TOTAL ASSETS As of September 30, 2001 $ 5,842.0 $ 337.3 $ 542.7 $ 6,722.0 As of December 31, 2000 $ 5,597.9 $ 332.3 $ 522.5 $ 6,452.7 </Table> 8 BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The following table presents the details of "Other" segment loss: <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Corporate expenses $ (28.7) $ (20.3) $ (91.9) $ (75.7) Interest, net (29.4) (42.9) (94.0) (130.1) Unusual (charge) credit 3.4 1.7 (3.6) 25.4 Gain (loss) on trading securities -- (3.1) -- 14.1 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total $ (54.7) $ (64.6) $ (189.5) $ (166.3) ============ ============ ============ ============ </Table> NOTE 9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Business combinations accounted for under the pooling of interest method prior to June 30, 2001 will not be changed. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 by the Company will not have an impact on the balance sheet, statement of operations or cash flows of the Company. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired in a business combination and the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 provides that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives not be amortized, but rather be tested at least annually for impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that a transitional impairment test be performed within six months of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability associated with an asset retirement be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and subsequently depreciated over the life of the asset. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 143 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 143 for it fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 144 provides updated guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived assets and modifies the accounting and reporting of discontinued operations. The Company currently expects there to be no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption of SFAS No. 144. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. 9 BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On October 30, 2001, the Company and Sequel Holdings, Inc. ("Sequel") created an entity to operate under the name of Petreco, Inc. ("Petreco"). The Company contributed approximately $19.0 million of net assets of the refining and production product line of its Baker Process segment to Petreco. In conjunction with the transaction, the Company received $9.0 million in cash, two promissory notes totaling $10.0 million, and an ownership interest consisting of 100% of the common stock of Petreco, which represents 49% of the voting power of Petreco. Sequel has an ownership interest in Petreco consisting of 100% of the Series A Preferred Stock, which represents 51% of the voting power of Petreco. Petreco profits would be shared by the Company and Sequel in 49% and 51% interests, respectively. Sequel is entitled to a liquidation preference upon the liquidation or sale of Petreco. The amount of the promissory notes is subject to adjustment resulting from achieving certain financial targets in 2001. The Company will account for its ownership in Petreco using the equity method and does not expect to recognize any gain or loss from the initial formation of the entity due to the Company's material continued involvement in the operations of Petreco. 10 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 Company's consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MD&A includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a "Forward-Looking Statement"). The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "project," "forecasts," "will," "could," "may" and similar expressions, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that actual results may not differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein for reasons including the effects of competition, the level of petroleum industry exploration and production expenditures, world economic conditions, prices of, and the demand for, crude oil and natural gas, drilling activity, weather, the legislative environment in the United States and other countries, OPEC policy, conflict in the Middle East and other major petroleum producing or consuming regions, acts of war or terrorism, the development of technology that lowers overall finding and development costs and the condition of the capital and equity markets. See "-Business Environment" for a more detailed discussion of certain of these factors. Baker Hughes' expectations regarding its level of capital expenditures described in "-Capital Resources and Liquidity - Investing Activities" below are only its forecasts regarding these matters. In addition to the factors described in the previous paragraph and in "-Business Environment," these forecasts may be substantially different from actual results, which are affected by the following factors: the accuracy of the Company's estimates regarding its spending requirements; regulatory, legal and contractual impediments to spending reduction measures; the occurrence of any unanticipated acquisition or research and development opportunities; changes in the Company's strategic direction; and the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The Company has eight divisions each with separate management teams and infrastructures that offer different products and services. The divisions have been aggregated into two reportable segments - "Oilfield" and "Process." The Oilfield segment currently consists of six divisions - Baker Atlas, Baker Hughes INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift and Hughes Christensen - that manufacture and sell equipment and provide related services used in exploring for, developing and producing hydrocarbon reserves. The Oilfield segment also includes the Company's interest in an oil and gas property in Nigeria. The Process segment consists of two divisions - Bird Machine Company and EIMCO Process Equipment - that manufacture and sell process equipment for separating solids from liquids and liquids from liquids through filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation and flotation processes. The Process segment also includes a refining and production product line. On October 30, 2001, the Company contributed certain assets and liabilities of this product line to a new entity in exchange for cash, notes receivable and an ownership interest in the new entity. The business environment for the Company's Oilfield segment and its corresponding operating results can be significantly affected by the level of industry capital expenditures for the exploration and production of oil and gas reserves. These expenditures are influenced strongly by oil company expectations about the supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas products and by the energy price environment that results from supply and demand imbalances. Key factors currently influencing the worldwide crude oil and gas markets are: o Production control: the degree to which OPEC nations and other large producing countries, such as Mexico, Norway, and Russia, are willing and able to control production and exports of crude oil. 11 o Global economic growth: particularly the impact of the U.S. and Western European economies and economic activity in Japan, China, South Korea and the developing areas of Asia where the correlation between energy demand and economic growth is strong. o Oil and gas storage inventories: relative to historic levels. o Technological progress: in the design and application of new products that allow oil and gas companies to drill fewer wells and to drill, complete and produce wells faster and at lower cost. o Maturity of the resource base: of known hydrocarbon reserves in the maturing provinces of the North Sea, U.S., Canada and Latin America. o The pace of new investment: access to capital and the reinvestment of available cash flow into existing and emerging markets. o Price volatility: the impact of widely fluctuating commodity prices on the stability of the market and subsequent impact on customer spending. o The potential for supply disruption: from key oil exporting countries, including, but not limited to, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern countries, due to political or military activity. o Weather: the impact of variations in temperatures as compared with normal weather patterns and the related effect on demand for oil and natural gas. o Acts of Terrorism: the recent terrorist attacks on the United States have had a variety of adverse effects on business, financial and general economic conditions in the U.S. and elsewhere. In addition, the complete U.S. response to these attacks is unknown. At this time, the Company is not able to predict the nature, extent and duration of these effects, if any, on the Company's business and finances. OIL AND GAS PRICES Generally, customer expectations about their prospects from oil and gas sales and customer expenditures to explore for or produce oil and gas rise or fall with corresponding changes in the prices of oil or gas. Accordingly, changes in these expenditures will normally result in increased or decreased demand for the Company's products and services in its Oilfield segment. Crude oil and natural gas prices are summarized in the table below as averages of the daily closing prices during each of the periods indicated. While reading the Company's outlook set forth below, caution is advised that the factors described above in "-Forward-Looking Statements" and "-Business Environment" could negatively impact the Company's expectations for oil and gas demand, oil and gas prices and drilling activity. <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------------- ---------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Crude Oil, US Spot Prices, WTI, Cushing ($/Bbl) $ 27.07 $ 31.65 $ 27.92 $ 29.83 Natural Gas, US Spot Prices, Henry Hub ($/MMBtu) $ 2.69 $ 4.49 $ 4.43 $ 3.57 </Table> During the three months ended September 30, 2001, oil prices averaged $27.07 per barrel, ranging from a weekly low of $23.43 per barrel to a high of $29.89 per barrel. Slower economic growth and higher OPEC production levels contributed to an increase in inventories and a moderation in oil prices. Although oil prices fell in the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2000, prices were generally above OPEC's self-declared target zone. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, natural gas prices averaged $2.69/MMBtu, down significantly compared with the $4.49/MMBtu average price for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Weekly prices during the third quarter of 2001 ranged from a high of $3.23/MMBtu to a low of $1.82/MMBtu. The decline in natural gas prices was driven by a decline in demand for natural gas, slowing U.S. economic growth and reduced storage injection demand, offset only partially by increased demand from fuel switching back to natural gas. A modest increase in production also 12 contributed to the decline in prices. By the end of the quarter, it became apparent that natural gas storage levels at the beginning of the winter 2001/2002 withdrawal season would likely approach historic highs. ROTARY RIG COUNT The Company is engaged in the oilfield service industry providing products and services that are used in exploring for, developing and producing oil and gas reservoirs. When drilling or workover rigs are active, they consume the products and services produced by the oilfield service industry. The active rig count acts as a leading indicator of consumption of products and services used in drilling, completing, producing and processing hydrocarbons. Rig count trends are governed by the exploration and development spending by oil and gas companies, which in turn is influenced by current and future price expectations for oil and natural gas. Rig counts therefore reflect the relative strength and stability of energy prices. The Company's rotary rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated and are based on weekly rig counts for the U.S. and Canada and monthly rig counts for all other areas. <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, -------------------------- -------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- U.S. - Land 1,093 829 1,046 728 U.S. - Offshore 149 154 161 137 Canada 323 313 363 335 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- North America 1,565 1,296 1,570 1,200 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Latin America 264 247 265 216 North Sea 57 51 55 44 Other Europe 39 39 38 38 Africa 53 47 54 44 Middle East 186 161 177 153 Asia Pacific 158 149 155 137 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Outside North America 757 694 744 632 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Worldwide 2,322 1,990 2,314 1,832 =========== =========== =========== =========== U.S. Workover Rigs 1,227 1,027 1,233 1,034 =========== =========== =========== =========== </Table> OUTLOOK While reading the Company's outlook set forth below, caution is advised that the factors described above in "-Forward Looking Statements" and "-Business Environment" could negatively impact the Company's expectations for oil demand, oil and gas prices and drilling activity. Oil - Through the fourth quarter of 2001, oil prices are expected to be influenced primarily by expectations for U.S. and world economies and OPEC's willingness and ability to control production to achieve its price targets. Other factors that could influence prices include changes in non-OPEC oil supply, exports of oil from Iraq, political- or military-based supply disruptions, and weather. Oil prices are expected to weaken throughout the fourth quarter of 2001 and into the first half of 2002. If OPEC is willing and able to act aggressively to support prices and if the U.S. and world economies do not weaken significantly, the decline is likely to be more modest. On the other hand, if OPEC is unwilling or unable to act aggressively to support prices and if the U.S. and world economies weaken, oil prices could weaken significantly. Natural Gas - U. S. natural gas prices are expected to average between $2.50-$3.30/MMBtu in the fourth quarter of 2001 with possible weather-driven price spikes above or below this range. In the fourth quarter of 2001 and throughout 2002, prices are expected to be influenced by U.S. economic activity, particularly in those industrial segments of the U.S. economy that consume natural gas; demands for electricity; deviations of the weather from normal patterns; the natural gas storage levels at the end of the winter 2001/2002 withdrawal season; and expectations regarding the ability of the industry to inject enough gas during the summer of 2002 to meet demands during the winter of 2002/2003. Lower natural gas prices in the second half of 2002 are expected to result in decreased North American natural gas-directed drilling activity in the fourth quarter of 2001 and into the first half of 2002, which is, in turn, expected to result in reduced North American natural gas production capacity. 13 Customer Spending - Based upon the Company's discussions with its major customers and review of published industry surveys and reports, anticipated customer spending trends are as follows: o North America - In the fourth quarter of 2001, customer spending is expected to decrease from the third quarter of 2001. Spending in North America is expected to be down 15-20% in 2002 compared with 2001. o Outside North America - Customer spending directed at developing oil supplies is expected to continue to increase modestly through the fourth quarter of 2001 and into the first half of 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased 6.1% to $1,436.0 million compared with revenues of $1,353.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Excluding revenues from Western Geophysical, the Company's seismic division that was contributed to a venture in November 2000, revenues increased 22.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2000. Oilfield revenues, excluding Western Geophysical, increased 23.4% to $1,348.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with revenues of $1,092.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Geographically, Oilfield revenues in North America, which account for 45.5% of total Oilfield revenues, increased 35.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2000. This increase reflects the increased drilling activity in this area, as evidenced by a 20.8% increase in the North American rig count, and improved pricing for the Company's products and services. Outside North America, Oilfield revenues increased 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2000. This increase reflects the ongoing improvement in international drilling activity, particularly in Latin America, the North Sea, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased 4.1% to $4,006.5 million compared with revenues of $3,850.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Excluding revenues from Western Geophysical, revenues increased 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Revenues were impacted by significantly higher drilling activity levels worldwide and improved pricing for the Company's products and services. GROSS MARGIN Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 29.7% and 24.7%, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 29.7% and 26.1%, respectively. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 28.6% and 22.7%, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 28.6% and 25.0%, respectively. The improvements in gross margin are primarily the result of pricing improvements for the Company's products and services, primarily in North America, and higher utilization of the Company's assets. In addition, productivity gains at every Oilfield division and continued cost management measures throughout the Company contributed to the improvement. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense as a percentage of consolidated revenues was 15.0% and 13.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, SG&A expense as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 15.0% and 15.1%, respectively. SG&A expense as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 15.4% and 14.7%, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, SG&A expense as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 15.4% and 16.6%, respectively. These decreases in SG&A expense as a percentage of consolidated revenues are primarily due to a higher revenue base and the fact that SG&A expenses are generally more fixed in nature. 14 UNUSUAL CHARGES 2001 During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $3.4 million on the disposition of its interest in a joint venture. The Company received net proceeds of $6.0 million that were used to repay outstanding indebtedness. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an unusual charge of $7.0 million. The cash provision of the charge totaled $6.0 million and consisted of severance costs for approximately 100 employees relating to the restructuring of the Baker Process operations in Germany. No payments were made during the first quarter of 2001, $0.3 million was paid in the second quarter of 2001, and $0.4 million was paid in the third quarter of 2001. Based on current estimates, the Company expects that $0.6 million of the accrued severance will be paid during the fourth quarter of 2001, with the remainder paid during 2002 as the employees leave the Company. 2000 In October 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's plan to substantially exit the oil and gas exploration business, resulting in an unusual charge of $105.0 million. The cash provision of the charge totaled $13.3 million and consisted of $5.5 million of severance costs for approximately 50 employees and $7.8 million for other contractual obligations. Of the total cash charge of $13.3 million, $5.2 million has been paid through September 30, 2001. The remaining accrual will be paid out as the employees leave the Company or according to the contractual obligations. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $13.3 million and $35.1 million, respectively, compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. These decreases were primarily due to lower debt levels. Average commercial paper and money market borrowings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $365.8 million and $283.3 million, respectively, compared with average commercial paper and money market borrowings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 of $988.9 million and $1,042.5 million, respectively. The reduction in commercial paper and money market borrowings from corresponding prior year periods was primarily due to the cash proceeds received from the formation of Western GECO in November 2000 and cash flow from operations. GAIN ON TRADING SECURITIES In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company announced its intention to sell its holdings of Varco International, Inc. ("Varco") and reclassified these holdings from available for sale securities to trading securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded pre-tax gains (losses) of $(3.1) million and $14.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had disposed of all of its Varco holdings. INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 33.4% and 36.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was 33.5% and 34.4%, respectively. These rates differ from the statutory income tax rate of 35.0% due to lower taxes from international operations, partially offset by the non-deductibility of certain goodwill amortization. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash inflows from operating activities were $456.9 million and $399.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in cash flow is primarily due to increased profitability and improved balance sheet management. 15 INVESTING ACTIVITIES Net cash outflows from investing activities were $148.8 million and $238.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Expenditures for capital assets totaled $204.7 million and $452.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, expenditures for capital assets were $204.7 million and $205.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company currently expects 2001 capital expenditures to be between $300.0 million to $315.0 million excluding any acquisitions. Funds provided from operations and available lines of credit are expected to be adequate to meet future capital expenditure requirements. Proceeds from the disposal or sale of assets generated $55.9 million and $141.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of the Company's Varco holdings generated $72.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The words "expected" and "expects" are intended to identify Forward-Looking Statements in "Investing Activities." See "-Forward-Looking Statements" and "-Business Environment" above for a description of risk factors related to these Forward-Looking Statements. FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash outflows from financing activities were $300.3 million and $127.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. On May 28, 2001, the Company redeemed its outstanding Liquid Yield Options Notes at a redemption price of $786.13 per $1,000 principal amount, for a total of $301.8 million. The redemption was funded through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company anticipates that the redemption will not have a significant impact on interest expense in future periods. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2001 was $1,834.9 million compared with $2,062.9 million at December 31, 2000. Debt was repaid using cash flow from operations and $55.9 million in proceeds from the disposal or sale of assets. The debt to equity ratio was 0.56 at September 30, 2001 compared with 0.68 at December 31, 2000. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $1,278.3 million of credit facilities with commercial banks, of which $800.5 million was committed. These facilities are subject to normal banking terms and conditions that do not significantly restrict the Company's activities. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities that require an entity to recognize all derivatives as an asset or liability measured at fair value. Depending on the intended use of the derivative and its effectiveness, changes in its fair value will be reported in the period of change as either a component of earnings or a component of other comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted in a gain of $0.8 million, net of tax, recorded as the cumulative effect of an accounting change in the consolidated condensed statement of operations and a gain of $1.2 million, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. EURO CONVERSION A single European currency (the "Euro") was introduced on January 1, 1999, at which time the conversion rates between the old, or legacy, currencies and the Euro were set for participating member countries. However, the legacy currencies in those countries will continue to be used as legal tender through December 31, 2001. Thereafter, the legacy currencies will be canceled, and Euro bills and coins will be used in the participating countries. 16 Most of the Company's products and services are essentially priced with reference to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company does not believe that it will be subject to a significant increase in pricing transparency due to the introduction of the Euro. The Company's customers may require billing in two or more currencies. Until the Company's financial computer systems are modified or replaced to handle Euro-denominated transactions, the Company will, in most cases, need to apply a methodology whereby legacy currencies are first converted into Euros according to a legally prescribed fixed exchange ratio and then, when the customer requires, converted from Euros to a second national currency. The Company does not believe that this conversion will materially affect its contracts. Most of the Company's contracts are either bids in response to requests for tenders or purchase orders, both of which are short term in nature. Longer term contracts are sufficiently flexible to permit pricing in multiple currencies. The Euro conversion period is longer than most of the pricing features of these contracts, thus permitting a pricing conversion to the Euro as new orders are issued. The same is true with most of the Company's contracts with vendors. During 1997, the Company began a multi-year initiative designed to develop and implement an enterprise-wide software system. The initiative, named "Project Renaissance," utilizes SAP R/3 as its software platform across all significant operations of the Company. SAP R/3 is programmed to process in Euros for most of the Company's accounting, financial and operational functions, and the Company expects that the implementation of this system will address its Euro issues in these areas. Because the Company has engaged in this implementation for operational purposes and not solely to address Euro issues, the Company has not separately determined the cost of converting these systems for use with the Euro. These Euro conversion costs are embedded in the cost of Project Renaissance and are not susceptible to separate quantification. The Company has completed or will complete implementation of SAP R/3 in its major European operations prior to December 31, 2001. In operations where SAP R/3 will not be implemented, the Company will make certain modifications to its legacy computer systems, or replace them, to address certain Euro conversion issues. The Company began converting certain legacy currency based financial records to the Euro beginning in January 2001, and as of October 31, 2001, had completed a conversion of all significant operations. The financial records of the remaining operations are expected to be converted by December 15, 2001. The Company continues to assess the impact of the Euro on its operations and financial, accounting and operational systems. The Company does not presently anticipate that the transition to the Euro will have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The words "anticipate," "will," "may," and "expects" are intended to identify a Forward-Looking Statement in " - Euro Conversion." The Company's anticipation regarding the lack of significance of the Euro introduction on the Company's operations is only its forecast regarding this matter. This forecast may be substantially different from actual results, which are affected by factors such as the following: unforeseen difficulties in remediating specific computer systems to accommodate the Euro due to the complexity of hardware and software; the failure of the Company to implement SAP R/3 or another Euro compliant computer system in a geographic location that prices in Euros; the inability of third parties to adequately address their own Euro systems issues, including vendors, contractors, financial institutions, U.S. and foreign governments and customers; the delay in completion of a phase of the Company's remediation of a computer system to accommodate the Euro necessary to begin a later phase; the discovery of a greater number of hardware and software systems or technologies with material Euro issues than the Company presently anticipates; and the lack of alternatives that the Company previously believed existed. 17 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES During the quarter, the Company entered into two crude oil contracts (costless collars) to mitigate price risk associated with the Company's interest in an oil producing property in Nigeria. Both contracts used Dated Brent as the reference commodity. The Company entered into the first contract on August 2, 2001. This contract established a cap of $27.00 and a floor of $23.25 for the five-month period ending December 31, 2001. The Company entered into the second contract on September 14, 2001. This contract established a cap of $27.50 and a floor of $23.50 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2002. The fair market value of these contracts at September 30, 2001 resulted in an asset of $1.1 million and an asset $2.7 million, respectively. Due to the value of the contracts and the Company's opinion that current oil prices would not be sustainable, the Company elected to terminate these contracts prior to their maturity date. Accordingly, both contracts were terminated on October 3, 2001, and the Company received a cash payment of $4.4 million. At September 30, 2001, the Company had entered into foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $0.4 million, $5.1 million and $0.8 million to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in the Euro, Canadian Dollar and Indonesian Rupiah, respectively. At September 30, 2001, the fair market value of these forward contracts, based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates, was a $0.2 million liability. Certain borrowings of the Company are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. At September 30, 2001, these nonfunctional currency borrowings totaled $14.7 million with exposures primarily between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro, the Saudi Riyal, the Brazilian Real and the Thai Baht. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against these currencies would not have a significant effect on the future earnings of the Company. 18 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of shareholder class action securities fraud suits that purported stockholders of the Company filed shortly after the Company's announcement on December 8, 1999 regarding the accounting issues that the Company discovered at its Baker Hughes INTEQ division. These suits were consolidated into one lawsuit in the federal district court for the Southern District of Texas pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The court dismissed this suit in March 2001, and the plaintiffs filed an appeal with respect to the dismissal in April 2001 in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company believes the allegations in this suit are without merit and that the plaintiffs will be unsuccessful in their appeal. The Company intends to vigorously contest the appeal and defend the suit if the plaintiffs are successful on appeal. Even so, an adverse outcome on appeal and in any subsequent litigation could have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits: 3.2 Bylaws, as amended on October 25, 2001. (b) Reports on Form 8-K: A Current Report on Form 8-K was filed with the Commission on July 6, 2001, reporting the issuance of a press release whereby the Company had offered to consent to the entry of a cease-and-desist order with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
