SCHLUMBERGER LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (Schlumberger) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.  The December 31, 2016 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2016 audited financial statements.  For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  Schlumberger will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018.  Schlumberger does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases.  Schlumberger will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019.  Based on its current lease portfolio, Schlumberger estimates that the adoption of this ASU will result in approximately $1.3 billion of additional assets and liabilities being reflected on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

2.   Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded the following charges and credits during the first six months of 2017:

Second quarter 2017:

 

During the second quarter of 2017, Schlumberger entered into a financing agreement with its primary customer in Venezuela.  This agreement resulted in the exchange of $700 million of outstanding accounts receivable for a promissory note with a three-year term that bears interest at the rate of 6.50% per annum.  Schlumberger recorded this note at its estimated fair value on the date of the exchange, which resulted in a pretax and after-tax charge of $460 million.  Schlumberger is accounting for the promissory note as an available-for-sale security reported at fair value in Other Assets, with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The fair value of the promissory notes is based on management’s estimate of pricing assumptions that market participants would use.

During the second quarter of 2017, Schlumberger also entered into discussions with another customer relating to certain of its outstanding accounts receivable.  As a result of these ongoing discussions, Schlumberger recorded a pretax charge of $50 million ($38 million after taxes and noncontrolling interests) to adjust these receivables to their estimated net realizable value. 

 

These charges are classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

 

In connection with Schlumberger’s acquisition of Cameron (See Note 4 – Acquisition of Cameron), Schlumberger recorded $81 million of pretax charges ($64 million after-tax) consisting of employee benefits, facility consolidation and other merger and integration-related costs.  These charges are classified in Merger & integration in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

First quarter of 2017:

 

In connection with Schlumberger’s acquisition of Cameron (See Note 4 – Acquisition of Cameron), Schlumberger recorded $82 million of pretax charges ($68 million after-tax) consisting of employee benefits, facility consolidation and other merger and integrat
