Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
Baker Hughes, Incorporateda GE company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Baker Hughes,BHGE LLC," "Company," "we," "our," or "us,""us") and the successor to Baker Hughes Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Baker Hughes"), is a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used for drilling, formation evaluation, completion and production, pressure pumping, and reservoir development in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. We also provide products and services for other businesses including downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline services. On July 3, 2017, subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2017 as reported herein, Baker Hughes converted into a limited liability company, named Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC, for the purpose of facilitating the combination of Baker Hughes and the oil and gas business ("GE O&G") of General Electric Company ("GE"). See "Note 2. General Electric Transaction Agreement" for further information.
Basis of Presentation
OurThe accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S." and such principles, "U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. We believe the unaudited condensed consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.
Beginning in 2016, all merger and related costs are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated condensed statements of income (loss). Prior year merger and related costs were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Standards Adopted
In JulyNovember 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-11,2015-17, Simplifying the MeasurementBalance Sheet Classification of InventoryDeferred Taxes, which. The new standard requires inventory measured using average cost methods, which we utilize,all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be subsequently measured at the lowerclassified as noncurrent in a classified statement of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.financial position. We adopted this guidance as ofpronouncement prospectively on January 1, 2017, thus prior periods were not adjusted. The impact of adoption was not material to our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In March 2016, because we believe this approach will reduce the complexity in the subsequent measurement of our inventory. The guidance stipulates that the amendments inFASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 shall be2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The simplifications in this standard affect several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the requirement to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. We adopted this pronouncement on a prospective basis, therefore,January 1, 2017.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.
The standard permits either a full retrospective method of adoption, in which the standard is applied to all the periods presented, or a modified retrospective method of adoption, in which the standard is applied only to the

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

current period with a cumulative-effect adjustment reflected in retained earnings.  We will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018, and iswill make a final decision on the adoption method following the close of the Transactions on July 3, 2017 as discussed in "Note 2. General Electric Transaction Agreement" and the completion of the assessment that the adoption will have on the combined businesses.
We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our financial position and results of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we formed an implementation work team, completed training of the new ASU's revenue recognition model and began policy and contract review. Our approach includes performing a detailed review of contracts representative of our different product lines and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.the new requirements that are in the standard. We haveengaged external resources to help the Company complete the analysis of potential changes to current accounting practices related to material revenue streams and are substantially complete with the initial assessment. During the remainder of 2017, we will quantify the potential impacts as well as design and implement required process, system and control changes to address the impacts identified in the assessment. We are not completed an evaluation ofcurrently able to reasonably estimate the impact the pronouncementnew revenue recognition standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Based on our current evaluation,

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

the reclassification of deferred tax assets from current to noncurrent could be significant. We do not expect a significant reclassification for deferred tax liabilities.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, a new standard on accounting for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB's new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted.
We have not completed an evaluationare currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and assessing the impact the pronouncementit will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we formed an implementation work team and completed training of the new ASU's lease model with the implementation team. We engaged external resources to complete an initial review of lease agreements representative of the different aspects of our business and to assess the potential changes to current accounting practices as a result of the new requirements that are in the standard. We are substantially complete with the initial assessment. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting, we anticipate that the adoption of the ASU may significantly affect our balance sheet.
In MarchJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,2016-13, ImprovementsFinancial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard amends the impairment model for trade receivables, net investments in leases, debt securities, loans and certain other instruments to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard provides a new requirement to record allutilize an expected loss methodology in place of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement.currently used incurred loss methodology. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption will be permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We have completed an evaluationare currently evaluating the provisions of the pronouncement and determined that itsassessing the impact, upon adoption will not be material toif any, on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The standard addresses the classification and presentation of eight specific cash flow issues that currently result in diverse practices. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective approach. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but the impact is not expected to be material.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. The standard removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective approach. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact

the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but the impact is not expected to be material.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under this ASU, an entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This pronouncement is effective for impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which changes 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 required to be 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 must be presented outside of income from operations. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the presentation disclosure should be applied using a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. Our evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is still in progress, but the impact is not expected to be material.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but the impact is not expected to be material.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
We conduct impairment tests on long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows. Although oil prices have risen sinceDuring the lows reachedfirst six months of 2017, based on current facts and circumstances, we did not identify any indicators of potential impairment for assets still in Februaryuse that would require further examination. Impairments related to assets removed from service are included in restructuring charges below.
In the second quarter of 2016, and rig counts have begun to stabilize, customer spending and activity continue to remain at low levels, thus continuing lower demand for our products and services. We consider our

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

customers' constrained capital spending budgets for 2016 and the current outlook for low activity levels to be impairment indicators and accordingly continue to evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment.
Asas a result of our long-lived asset impairment testing, during the first three quarters of 2016, we have recorded impairment charges of $578 million, of which $462 million pertains to certain machinery and equipment and $116 million pertains to certain intangible assets that were written down to their estimated fair value. These assets remain in use. Specific to the third quarter of 2016, certain machinery and equipment, with an initial total carrying value of $380 million, was written down to its estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $116 million. Additionally, certain intangible assets, with an initial total carrying value of $40 million, were written down to their estimated fair values, resulting in an impairment charge of $15 million. Total impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $131 million. The majority of the impaired machinery and equipment and intangible assets impaired in the third quarter of 2016 were related to our pressure pumping business in North America, Middle East and Latin America.Asia Pacific. The estimated fair values for these assets were determined using discounted future cash flows. The significant Level 3 unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of these assets were the estimated future cash flows and the weighted average cost of capital of 10.0% for North America, 14.0% for Middle East and 16.0%13.5% for Latin America.Asia Pacific. Long-lived asset impairment charges are summarized in the table below:

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
We recognize restructuring charges for costs associated with workforce reductions, contract terminations, facility closures and impairments related to the permanent removal from service and disposal of excess machinery and equipment. As a result of the downturn in the oil and natural gas industry, beginning in the first quarter of 2015 and its impact on our business outlook,through the first quarter of 2017, we took actions to restructure and adjust our operations and cost structure to reflect current and expected activity levels to the extent allowable under the Merger Agreement with Halliburton. Following the termination of the Merger Agreement in the second quarter of 2016, to address ongoing industry challenges, we took additionalbroad actions to reduce costs, simplify our organization, refine and rationalize our operating strategy and adjust our capacity to meet expected levels of future demand.activity. We refer to this initiative as the "Global Cost Reduction and Restructuring."
During the first quarter of 2017, we also initiated a separate restructuring plan to address specific market challenges in key areas, including offshore North America, North Sea, Africa and Southeast Asia. These actions necessitatedwere primarily related to workforce reductions. We refer to this initiative as the "2017 Oilfield Restructuring."

We do not expect significant restructuring activities under this plan for the remainder of 2017.
OTHER CHARGES
During the nine months ended September 30,second quarter of 2016, in connection with the evaluation of our current inventory levels and expected future demand and to align with our future strategy, we recorded charges of $587$621 million, including $31$34 million of disposal costs, of which $194$205 million is reported in cost of sales and $393$416 million is reported in cost of services, to write off the carrying value of inventory deemed excess. These actions impacted all product lines. The amount of the inventory write-off recorded by segment is as follows: North America - $200$209 million; Latin America - $84$88 million; Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian - $143$152 million; Middle East/Asia Pacific - $117$125 million; and Industrial Services - $43$47 million.

NOTE 4. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT
We use the equity method to account for investments in companies in which we do not have a controlling financial interest, but over which we exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies. Our consolidated net income (loss) includes our proportionate share of the net income (loss) of the investee.
In December 2016, we closed the transaction contemplated by the contribution agreement among our subsidiaries, CSL Capital Management ("CSL") and West Street Energy Partners ("WSEP"), a fund managed by the Merchant Banking Division of Goldman Sachs, to create a North American onshore pressure pumping company, called BJ Services, LLC ("BJ Services"). Under the terms of the agreement, we contributed our wholly-owned North American onshore pressure pumping business, which consists primarily of cementing and hydraulic fracturing services in the U.S. and Canada. This also includes personnel, technology and infrastructure. We received a 46.7% interest in BJ Services, which we recorded as an equity method investment and include in Other Assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We retained no other services within the onshore North American pressure pumping business that was benefited bycontributed to BJ Services.
We will continue to provide customary support services during the transition period. BJ Services has access to certain of our pressure pumping technology through a reversallicensing agreement. We have representation on the BJ Services board of a lossdirectors based on our ownership interest.  While there is no formal agreement for strategic collaboration between us and BJ Services, the mixed board representation allows the BHGE LLC representatives and the BJ Services executives to identify possible opportunities for the two parties to collaborate.  Through this collaboration, we may access BJ Services' product and service portfolio to provide solutions to customers in the North American onshore market if and when opportunities arise.

Shared assets consist primarily of the assets carried at the enterprise level and include assets related to our supply chain, product line technology and information technology organizations. These assets are used to support our operating segments and consist primarily of manufacturing inventory, property, plant and equipment used in manufacturing and information technology, intangible assets related to technology, and certain deferred tax assets. All costs and expenses from these organizations, including depreciation and amortization, are allocated to our operating segments as these enterprise organizations support our global operations. Corporate assets include cash, certain facilities, and certain other noncurrent assets related to certain employee retirement plans.

(1)
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, corporate expenses include charges for litigation and other related matters of $67 million.
NOTE 5.6. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the total income tax expenseprovision was $70$72 million on a loss before income taxes, including equity in loss of $360affiliate, of $107 million, resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 19.4%67.3%. The negative effective tax rate is due primarily to the geographical mix of earnings and losses, such thatwhich resulted in taxes in certain jurisdictions, including withholding and deemed profit taxes, exceedexceeding the tax benefit from the losses in other jurisdictions due to valuation allowances provided in most loss jurisdictions.
In the third quarter of 2016, we filed a carryback claim for the 2015 U.S. Net Operating Loss ("NOL") to prior tax years. As a result, a $370 million current income tax receivable is reflected in other current assets in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2016.

(2) 
Options where the exercise price exceeds the average market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss or earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

We perform an annualGoodwill is tested annually for impairment test of goodwill on a qualitative or quantitative basis for each of our reporting units as of October 1 of each year or more frequentlysooner when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist at the reporting unit level. During the second quarter of 2016, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement with Halliburton, we concluded it was necessary to conduct a quantitative goodwill impairment review.
Our reporting units are the same as our five reportable segments. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step approach. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had been acquired in a business combination and the purchase price was equivalent to the fair value of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is referred to as the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the actual carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.

We determined the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of techniques including discounted cash flows derived from our long-term plans and a market approach that provides value indications through a comparison with guideline public companies. The inputs used to determine the fair values were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Based on the results of our impairment test, during the second quarter of 2016, we determined that goodwill of two of our reporting units was impaired and we commenced the second steprecorded an estimate of the goodwill impairment test. Weloss of $1.84 billion, which consisted of $1.53 billion for the North America segment and $311 million for the Industrial Services segment. While we had substantially completed all actions necessary in the determination of the implied fair value of goodwill in the second quarter of 2016; however,2016, some of the estimated fair values and allocations were subject to adjustment once the valuations and other computations were completed. Accordingly,The analysis was completed in the second quarter of 2016, we recorded an estimate of the goodwill impairment loss of $1,841 million, which consisted of $1,530 million for the North America segment and $311 million for the Industrial Services segment. During the third quarter of 2016 we finalized all valuations and computations, which resulteddid not result in an immateriala material adjustment. The total impairment is reflected in the table above. The volatility that currently exists in the oil and natural gas industry and further declines in future commodity prices and customer spending could negatively impact our forecasted profitability and operating cash flows, necessitating a future goodwill impairment review. Depending on the changes in our business outlook and other assumptions underlying the fair value measurements of our reporting units, we may be required to recognize additional goodwill impairments.

The estimated fair value of total debt at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $3,404 million and $4,321 million, respectively, which differs from the carrying amounts of $3,022 million and $4,041 million, respectively, included in our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets. The fair value was determined using quoted period end market prices.
In June 2016, we purchased $1.0 billion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount associated with our long-term outstanding notes and debentures, which included portions of each tranche of notes and debentures. Pursuant to a cash tender offer, the purchases resulted in the payment of an early-tender premium, including various fees, of $135 million and a pre-tax loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $142 million, which includes the premium and the write-off of a portion of the remaining original debt issue costs and debt discounts or premiums.
On July 13, 2016, we entered into a new five-year $2.5 billion committed revolving credit facility (the "2016 Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in July 2021, which replaced our existing credit facility of $2.5 billion, but maintained the existing commercial paper program. The previous credit facility had a maturity date in September of 2016. The maximum combined borrowing at any time under both the 2016 Credit Agreement and the commercial paper program is $2.5 billion. The 2016 Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of a total debt-to-total capitalization ratio, restrict certain merger transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a significant subsidiary and limit the amount of subsidiary indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the 2016 Credit Agreement, covenant defaults and other customary defaults. To the extent we have outstanding commercial paper, the aggregate ability to borrow under the 2016 Credit Agreement is reduced.
During the first nine months of 2016, there were no direct borrowings under either the previous credit facility or the 2016 Credit Agreement, and we were in compliance with all of the covenants under both credit facilities. Under the commercial paper program, we may issue from time to time up to $2.5 billion in commercial paper with maturities of no more than 270 days. The amount available to borrow under the credit facility would be reduced by the amount of any commercial paper outstanding. At September 30, 2016, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

The estimated fair value of total debt at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3.39 billion and $3.36 billion, respectively, which differs from the carrying amount of $3.01 billion and $3.02 billion, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further information onThe fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices.
During the first quarter of 2017, we executed an agreement with our primary customer in Ecuador, resulting in an exchange of certain fully reserved outstanding receivables for government-backed bonds.  We recorded the bonds at their estimated fair value of $84 million at the date of exchange, which approximated their fair value as of March 31, 2017.  The estimated fair value for these bonds was determined using discounted cash flows.  The significant Level 3 unobservable input used in the determination of the fair value was the discount rate of 11.6%, which was based on the Ecuador government bond yield.  This investment was classified as available-for-sale. During the second quarter of 2017, we sold the government-backed bonds for $92 million, resulting in a gain of $8 million, which was included in "Marketing, general and administrative expense" in our debt, see Note 10.

NOTE 13.12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
We are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims arising out of the conduct of our business. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. We record a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, including accruals for self-insured losses which are calculated based on historical claim data, specific loss development factors and other information.
A range of total possible losses for all litigation matters, other than those discussed below, cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuits or claims against us, other than those discussed below, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.
We insure against risks arising from our businessOur current and best estimate of a reasonable range of total possible losses collectively for the four litigation matters denoted below is between $80 million and $290 million. With respect to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance canlitigation matters below, if there was an adverse outcome individually or collectively, there could be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending or future legal proceedings or other claims. Most of our insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is our policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation.
The following lawsuits were filed in Delaware in connection with our Merger with Halliburton. Subsequent to the filing of the lawsuits, on April 30, 2016, the Merger Agreement with Halliburton was terminated as described in Note 2. "Halliburton Merger Agreement."
On November 24, 2014, Gary Molenda, a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a class action lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Chancery Court") against Baker Hughes, the Company’s Board of Directors, Halliburton, and Red Tiger LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton ("Red Tiger" and together with all defendants, "Defendants") styled Gary R. Molenda v. Baker Hughes, Inc., et al., Case No. 10390-CB.
On November 26, 2014, a second purported shareholder of the Company, Booth Family Trust, filed a substantially similar class action lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court.
On December 1, 2014, New Jersey Building Laborers Annuity Fund and James Rice, two additional purported shareholders of the Company, filed substantially similar class action lawsuits in Delaware Chancery Court.
On December 10, 2014, a fifth purported shareholder of the Company, Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund, filed another substantially similar class action lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court.
On December 24, 2014, a sixth purported shareholder of the Company, Annette Shipp, filed another substantially similar class action lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court.
All of the lawsuits make substantially similar claims.  The plaintiffs generally allege that the members of the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to our shareholders in connection with the Merger negotiations by entering into the Merger Agreement and by approving the Merger, and that the Company, Halliburton, and Red Tiger aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties.  More specifically, the lawsuits allege that the Merger Agreement provides inadequate consideration to our shareholders, that the process resulting in the Merger Agreement was flawed, that the Company’s directors engaged in self-dealing, and that certain provisions of the Merger Agreement improperly favor Halliburton and Red Tiger, precluding or impeding third parties from submitting potentially superior proposals, among other things.  The lawsuit filed by Annette Shipp also alleges that our Board of Directors failed to disclose material information concerning the proposed Merger in the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4.  On January 7, 2015, James Rice amended his complaint, adding similar allegations regarding the disclosures in the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4.  The lawsuits seek unspecified damages, injunctive relief enjoining the Merger, and rescission of the Merger Agreement, among other relief.  On January 23, 2015, the Delaware lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Baker Hughes Inc. Stockholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 10390-CB (the "Consolidated Case"). Pursuant to the Court’s consolidation order, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on February 4, 2015, which alleges substantially similar

The settlement was made subject to certain conditions, including consummation of the Merger, final documentation, and court approval. With the termination of the Merger Agreement with Halliburton, the March 18, 2015 settlement agreement is rendered null and void. On May 31, 2016, the Consolidated Case and the claims asserted therein were dismissed, save and except for plaintiffs counsel's Fee and Expense Application to the Delaware Chancery Court.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
GE TRANSACTION
As discussed in "Note 2. General Electric Transaction Agreement," on July 3, 2017, we closed the Transactions to combine GE O&G and Baker Hughes. The Transactions were executed using a partnership structure, pursuant to which GE O&G and Baker Hughes each contributed their operating assets to a newly formed partnership, BHGE LLC. As a partnership, BHGE LLC will be treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, will not incur any material current or deferred U.S. federal income taxes. BHGE LLC’s foreign subsidiaries, however, are expected to incur current and deferred foreign income taxes. GE holds an approximate 62.5% controlling interest in this partnership and former Baker Hughes shareholders hold an approximate 37.5% interest through the ownership of 100% of BHGE's Class A Common Stock, which was listed under the ticker symbol "BHGE" on the New York Stock Exchange. GE’s approximate 62.5% interest is held through a voting

BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

interest of Class B Common Stock in BHGE and its economic interest through a corresponding number of common units of BHGE LLC. Former Baker Hughes shareholders immediately after the completion of the Transactions, were entitled to receive a Special Dividend of $17.50 per share paid by BHGE to holders of record of the Class A Common Stock. GE contributed $7.4 billion to BHGE LLC to fund substantially all of the Special Dividend.
BHGE LLC is governed by an amended and restated operating agreement to which the business and operations of BHGE LLC are managed by EHHC Newco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the BHGE, as the managing member.
Prior to the Transactions, shares of Baker Hughes common stock were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the SIX Swiss Exchange. Shares of Baker Hughes common stock were suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange and the SIX Swiss Exchange prior to the open of trading on July 5, 2017. The New York Stock Exchange filed a Form 25 on Baker Hughes' behalf to provide notice to the SEC regarding the withdrawal of shares of Baker Hughes common stock from listing and to terminate the registration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The issuance of BHGE's Class A Common Stock in connection with the Transactions was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-216991), as amended, filed with the SEC by BHGE and declared effective on May 30, 2017. As a result of the Transactions, on July 3, 2017, BHGE issued 428 million shares of Class A Common Stock and 717 million shares of Class B Common Stock.
Based on the relative voting rights of former Baker Hughes shareholders and GE immediately following completion of the Transactions, and after taking into consideration all relevant facts, GE O&G is treated as the "acquirer" and Baker Hughes is treated as the "acquired" company using the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, GE O&G, will become the historical financial statements of BHGE and BHGE LLC for periods ending after the closing of the Transactions.
CREDIT FACILITY
On July 3, 2017, in connection with the combination with GE O&G, we entered into a new five-year $3 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2017 Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in July 2022, which replaced our existing credit facility of $2.5 billion, but maintained the existing commercial paper program. 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. To the extent we have outstanding commercial paper, the aggregate ability to borrow under the 2017 Credit Agreement is reduced.

Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the unauditedcondensed consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 thereto, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 ("20152016 Annual Report").
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On July 3, 2017, we closed the Transactions to combine GE O&G and Baker Hughes, creating a world-leading, fullstream oilfield technology provider that has a unique mix of equipment and service capabilities. The Transactions were executed using a partnership structure, pursuant to which GE O&G and Baker Hughes each contributed their operating assets to a newly formed partnership, BHGE LLC. Immediately following the completion of the Transactions, GE held an approximately 62.5% controlling interest in this partnership and former Baker Hughes shareholders held an approximately 37.5% interest through the ownership of 100% of BHGE Class A Common Stock. Former Baker Hughes shareholders immediately after the completion of the Transactions also were entitled to receive a Special Dividend of $17.50 per share, for which GE contributed $7.4 billion to BHGE LLC to fund substantially all of the Special Dividend. Events subsequent to June 30, 2017, including the completion of the Transactions, are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
BHGE LLC, and the successor to Baker Hughes Incorporated, is a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry, referred to as our oilfield operations. We manage our oilfield operations through four geographic segments consisting of North America, Latin America, Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian ("EARC"), and Middle East/Asia Pacific ("MEAP"). Our Industrial Services businesses are reported in a fifth segment. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, Baker Hughes2017, BHGE LLC had approximately 34,00032,000 employees compared to approximately 43,00033,000 employees as of December 31, 2015.2016.
Within our oilfield operations, the primary driver of our businesses is our customers’customers' capital and operating expenditures dedicated to oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. The main products and services provided by oilfield operations fall into one of two categories, Drilling and Evaluation or Completion and Production. This classification is based on the two major phases of constructing an oil and/or natural gas well, the drilling phase and the completion phase, and how our products and services are utilized in each phase. We also provide products and services to the downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline services, referred to as Industrial Services.
During the second quarter following the termination of the merger with Halliburton, we announced a series of actions2017, oil prices retreated back to reduce costs and simplify our business, enhance our commercial strategy and optimize our capital structure by paying down debt and buying back shares. More specifically, we have restructured the company to remove significant costs and create a more efficient organization which aligns with our operational strategy to take our products and technology to market faster and more efficiently and through a broader set of sales channels. In an effort to improve our return on invested capital, we have conducted an analysis of our product offerings andNovember 2016 levels as a result of that review,renewed U.S. and OPEC supply growth concerns. Despite these lower oil prices, U.S. onshore activity grew steadily throughout the quarter as many customers had hedged their oil production for the remainder of the year. Additionally, service pricing began showing signs of recovering, particularly in the U.S. onshore drilling-related product lines. Conversely, outside of the U.S. market, activity remained weak, particularly offshore.
In the second quarter of 2017, we have begungenerated revenue of $2.4 billion, which was flat compared to the processsecond quarter of reducing certain product offerings in specific markets based on our objectives2016. Both North America and MEAP revenues increased during the second quarter of profitable growth. While these potential reductions will have a minimal impact on our current revenue, they are expected2017 as compared to have a positive impact on operating profitability. We expect to have two-thirds of these product exits completed by the endsecond quarter of 2016 withoffsetting reductions in Latin America, EARC and Industrial Services. Despite flat revenues, we reported improved operating results year-over-year and sequentially, which is the balance achieveddirect result of our cost reduction efforts and operational restructuring activities that occurred in 2017. Additionally, we have decided to retain a selective footprint in our North America onshore pressure pumping business, and are considering a range of ownership models that will allow us to participate in this market while mitigating the resource requirements and capital intensity that are inherent in this particular business.2016.
In the first ninesix months of 2016, we continued to face difficult industry conditions. Activity declined across the globe as reflected by the worldwide rig count, which decreased 36%2017, revenue totaled $4.67 billion, a decline of $412 million or 8% compared to the same period last year, resulting in additional pricing deterioration for our products and services in many markets. The steady decline in U.S. oil production, along with the initial announcement by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") in late September to re-establish a production ceiling, drove oil prices higher resulting in more than a 30% increase in oil prices in the prior year. For the first ninesix months of the year. Despite this improvement in oil prices, customer spending continued to decline as most operators are looking for a sustainable rebalancing of the oil market before increasing activity. As a result, we continued to experience a significant decline in demand as well as increased pricing pressure for our products and services throughout the third quarter of 2016.
Financial Results
In the third quarter of 2016, we generated2017, North America revenue of $2.35 billion, a decrease of $1.43 billion, or 38%, compared to the third quarter of 2015, generally consistent with the 30% drop in the worldwide rig count. In the first nine months of 2016, revenue totaled $7.43 billion, a decline of $4.92 billion, or 40%,remained relatively flat compared to the same period in the prior year with a 36% drop inwhile all other segments declined. In North America, increased onshore activity, where the worldwideaverage rig count over the same time frame. All geographic segments experienced revenue declines in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 drivenincreased more than 75%, was offset by reduced customer

spending.activity offshore and the divestiture of our North America was the largest contributor to the year-over-year revenue decline in both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, driven by the drop in the onshore and inland water rig count. As a result, we continued to experience reduced activity, an oversupply of equipment and an unfavorable pricing environment in this segment. Additionally, the decision to minimize our operational footprint in the onshore pressure pumping business inbusiness. Outside North America, has resulted in share reductions in this product line. Revenue was also negatively impacted by an unfavorable change in exchange rates of several currencies relativerevenue decreased primarily due to reduced activity, and to a lesser extent, pricing pressures experienced globally over the U.S. Dollar, predominately in the EARC segment.past year.

Outlook
The North America rig count growth over the past 12 months, including the impending U.S. production edging downgrowth, combined with increased Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") crude production from Libya and Nigeria, who are excluded from the initial announcement by OPECoil cuts agreed to in late September2016, have caused oil prices to re-establishretreat back to levels not seen since early November 2016. As a production ceiling, the uncertainty from the lackresult of critical details regarding production cutsthese supply events and the various country exclusions, has limited the confidencea range of external factors, including geopolitical dynamics, economic growth, fiscal policy and currency fluctuations, that it could lead to a more sustainable improvement infurther impact oil prices and in turn, to a more material increase in exploration and production companies' spending.slow down the recovery, the market outlook remains uncertain.
We continue to believe thatBased on current oil prices and market conditions, customer behavior for the second half of 2017 is expected to vary by region and operating environment. In North America onshore, we expect activity growth to decelerate as we progress through the second half of the year. For the international onshore markets, we expect activity to

remain stable, with a few possible areas of modest growth. In the global offshore markets, where customer confidence in commodity prices remains one of the mid-to upper-$50s arekey elements that is required for a sustainablesustained industry recovery, in North America. As we previously projected, the North American market has been continuing to climb slowly upward, and we expect activity to remain muted for the rest of the year. We believe, however, that to continue. In order for a broader recovery to take place, a series of milestones need to be reached before the market can respond in a predictable way. First, supplywith our leading products and demand surplus has to rebalance allowing commodity prices to improve. Second, commodity prices need to stabilize for confidence in the customer community to improve and investment to accelerate. Third, activity needs to increase meaningfully before service capacity can be substantially absorbed and pricing recovery takes place. Until then, we will continue to see the dislocation we have today in the relationship between commodity prices and service pricing. We expect a slow ramp up of customer spending driven by a measured increase in U.S. onshore activityinnovative technologies as well as increased seasonal activity in Canada. Despite this expected gradual improvement in the North American environment,combination with GE O&G, we

believe pricing will continue are well positioned to remain challenging. As a result, we expect only modestcapitalize on growth in North America in the fourth quarteropportunities across all of 2016.
Internationally, we expect continued activity declinesour product lines and pricing pressure in the near term due to customers continuing to restrict spending. We don’t expect year-end, seasonal product sales to significantly offset those declines. In markets where lifting costs are higher, such as deepwater, we expect that those activity declines will be even steeper. In conventional markets, such as the Middle East and North Africa, we believe there could be modest growth given the lower lifting costs. Despite these market dynamics, we continue to see opportunities for our capabilities and product innovations. Our products and services help our customers maximize production and lower overall costs allowing for improvements in our growth and profitability.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
We operate in more than 80 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’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.

In North America, customer spending is highly driven by WTI oil prices, which began the third quarter2017 at $52.33/Bbl, dropping to a low of 2016 at $48.99/Bbl, declined to $39.51/$42.31/Bbl in early August 2016,late June 2017. Early in the year, the oil market showed signs that a balance between supply and then rebounded to $48.24/Bbldemand would be achieved by the end of 2017, which supported a recovery in oil prices. On the quarter due to peak summer demand for crude oil. Accordingside, global economic activity remained healthy supporting oil consumption growth. On the supply side, voluntary oil cuts agreed in late 2016 by members of OPEC and some non-OPEC producers, achieved a substantial degree of compliance.
However, at the same time, North American drilling activity and production ramped up in response to the September 2016 Oil Market Report publishedhigher oil prices, causing inventories in the United States to build throughout the second quarter. U.S. crude oil and petroleum products inventories were above the five-year average during the weeks ending June 2 and June 9. Additionally, in the past few months, Libya and Nigeria have seen their combined output increase by more than 700 kb/d, and the International Energy Agency, globalOPEC cuts appear to be achieving a lower rate of compliance towards the end of the quarter. These supply events have caused the rebalancing of the oil demand growth is slowing at a faster pace than initially predicted. Forecastedmarket to become less certain and oil demand growth for 2016 is now only 1.3 mb/d comparedprice gains to 1.4 mb/dreverse at the end of the second quarter of 2016. Further, oil demand growth for 2017 is expected to ease further to 1.2 mb/d as underlying macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain.quarter.
Outside North America, customer spending is most heavily influenced by Brent oil prices, which experienced a similar trend as WTI throughout the year, closing the quarter exiting at $47.71/$48.23/Bbl. Brent oil price fluctuations were driven by the same factors as WTI.WTI, although the growing U.S. supply has lowered WTI crude oil prices relative to international crude oil prices.
Overall, WTI and Brent oil prices in the first ninesix months of 20162017 averaged lowerhigher than the prior year period by 19%26% and 24%29%, respectively. Although oil prices have rebounded more than 80% from the previous twelve-year-low of $26/Bbl reached earlier this year to near $48/Bbl at the end of the quarter, there has yet to be any material change in customer behavior to suggest a significant near-term improvement in activity levels.

In North America, natural gas prices, as measured by the Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price, remained fairly stable duringfluctuated in the third quarterfirst six months of 2016, exiting the quarter at $2.84/2017 between $2.44/mmBtu relatively unchanged from where it began the quarter.and $3.42/mmBtu, and averaged $3.01/mmBtu. Compared to the same quarter in the priorperiod last year, natural gas prices increased 4%47%, driven by expectations of a colder than usual winter season. For the nine months ending September 30, 2016,higher drawdowns this season stemming from lower natural gas prices declined by 17% as a result ofproduction and higher storage levels.exports. According to the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE"), working natural gas in storage atin the endlast week of the thirdsecond quarter of 20162017 was 3,6802,888 Bcf, which is 3%7% higher than the previous five-year (2011-2015)(2012-2016) average, and 4%but 9%, or 142285 Bcf, abovebelow the corresponding week in 2015.2016.

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.
Baker Hughes has 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, Iran 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.

The rig count in North America decreased 43%increased 115% in the thirdsecond quarter of 20162017 compared to the same period last year, as a consequence of reducedincreased spending from our customers as they continuein response to operate in a lower commoditythe upward oil price environment. Reduced cash flows over the last two years have prompted many companies to scale back investment programs, deferring new drilling projects until a sustained price recovery occurs. Also, higher interest rates and tighter lending conditions have limited the availability of capital for many smaller producers, giving rise to distressed asset sales and consolidation of acreage holdings by firms that are more financially sound. The oil-directed drilling rig count, which represents approximately 80% of the North America rig count, movement

experienced a 39% decline as the steep drop in oil prices over the last year resulted in a reduction in exploration and production spending across the region, especiallyearly in the U.S. onshoreyear. Following the OPEC production cut agreements and Canadianthe subsequent oil sands. The natural gas-directed rig count experienced a 53% decrease comparedprice stability, many North American producers ramped up drilling programs and materially increased spending. Oil directed rigs in the United States have increased to about 115% above their levels last year. Natural gas drilling activity in the same period a year agoUnited States has also grown by about 103% since the second quarter of 2016 as a result of lower production and higher exports reduced natural gas prices. In the U.S., natural gas prices remain below levels that are considered to be economic for new investments in many natural gas fields.inventory levels. In Canada, the reduction in the natural gas-directed rig count was primarily related to lowerboth oil and gas drilling activity levels in condensate rich zones in Alberta to service oil sands.has meaningfully increased with the higher commodity prices.
Outside North America, the rig count in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016 decreased 17%2017 increased 1% compared to the same period a year ago. In Latin America, the rig count declined 41%1% as a consequence of customer spending reductions throughout the entire region, but most notably in Argentina Brazil,and Venezuela, which were partially offset by increased drilling activity in Colombia Mexico and Ecuador. In Europe, the rig count in the North Sea decreased 22%7%, primarily due to a reduction in offshore drilling activity in the United Kingdom,Netherlands, and in Continental Europe the rig count declined by 10% driven by lowerincreased 3% year over year as a result of increased onshore drilling activity primarily in Romania, Serbia and Lithuania.Poland.

ThirdSecond Quarter of 20162017 Compared to the ThirdSecond Quarter of 20152016
North America
North America revenue decreased $694increased $110 million, or 51%16%, in the thirdsecond quarter of 20162017 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 20152016. The increase in revenue is primarily as athe result of increased activity, as evidenced by the steep dropincrease of 115% in the North America rig count primarily benefiting onshore U.S. This activity improvement more than offset the reduction in activity as reflected in the 43% year-over-yearGulf of Mexico plus the impact from the divestiture of our North America onshore pressure pumping business. Revenue from this business was $27 million in the second quarter of 2016.
The improvement in onshore U.S. revenue benefited all product lines and in particular drilling services, completions, artificial lift and drill bits. Although the onshore U.S. rig count decline,increased 120% during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period a year ago, the excess capacity that still exists in parts of the marketplace has prevented a broader pricing recovery. We are starting to see some pricing improvement in onshore U.S. and in particular in the same product lines that are experiencing the largest increases in revenue. Additionally, our upstream chemicals product line, which represents a significant portion of the sales mix of our products and services in North America, is not highly correlated to changes in rig count.
Revenue in the Gulf of Mexico declined due to the decrease in the rig count of 13% during the second quarter of 2017, compared to the same period a year ago, primarily driven by our completions, drilling and completion fluids, and our drilling services product lines. In addition, and to a lesser extent, deteriorating pricing conditions as operators further reduced their spending levelswe continue to experience price erosion particularly in our drilling services and completion product lines.
North America operating profit before tax was $14 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to an operating loss before tax of $311 million in the second quarter of 2016. All product lines have been unfavorably impactedIn addition to the revenue increase, results from operations were benefited by the deconsolidation of the North America onshore pressure pumping business which had a net loss of $90 million in the prior year quarter. Additionally, actions taken to restructure our North American operations and the reduction of depreciation and amortization expense from asset impairments drove improvements in our operating results. In addition, our operating results for the second quarter of 2016 included

$209 million of costs related to writing down certain excess inventory, and a $51 million benefit from a reversal of a loss on a firm purchase commitment recognized in the first quarter of 2016 as the contract was settled in the second quarter of 2016.
Latin America
Latin America revenue decreased $27 million, or 11%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 with Brazil and Venezuela experiencing the largest declines in revenue. The revenue decline in Brazil was primarily due to reduced activity drop, most notablyoffshore in our pressure pumping and completion systems. Our production chemicals, deepwater operations, andcompletions product lines. The reduction in Venezuela was primarily due to reduced artificial lift sales into the country.
Latin America operating profit before tax was $12 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to an operating loss before tax of $243 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in profitability is primarily due to a reduction in bad debt expense of $134 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily driven by Ecuador. Also, reduced operating costs resulting from our efforts to structurally realign the segment to reflect current and expected near-term activity levels contributed to the improvement. These events more than offset the impact to profitability from the reduction in revenue. In the second quarter of 2016, we incurred costs of $88 million to write down certain excess inventory.
Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian
EARC revenue decreased $77 million, or 13%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to activity reductions, and to a lesser extent price deterioration, across most of the region, particularly in our North Sea and West Africa drilling services and completions product lines. These reductions were partially offset by moderate growth in Russia, particularly in our drilling and evaluation product lines showedand our artificial lift business.
EARC operating profit before tax was $15 million in the most resilience.second quarter of 2017 compared to an operating loss before tax of $257 million in the second quarter of 2016. The impact from the decline in revenue was more than offset by the benefit of implemented cost reduction measures, lower depreciation and amortization expense from previous asset impairments and valuation allowances on indirect taxes recorded in Africa during the second quarter of 2016 that did not recur. During the second quarter of 2016, we incurred costs of $152 million to write down certain excess inventory.
Middle East/Asia Pacific
MEAP revenue increased $10 million or 2% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase in revenue was largely in line with the year over year rig count increase of 3%. This increase in activity was primarily driven by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and China offset by reductions in both Iraq and Australia. Revenue hasin Saudi Arabia increased mainly due to our completions product line. The increase in revenue in Kuwait was primarily driven by our pressure pumping and wireline product lines whereas the increase in China was due to drilling services. We experienced declines in Iraq as our integrated projects came to an end in 2016 and declines in Australia were primarily in our drilling services, completions and pressure pumping product lines. In addition, there continues to be pricing pressure throughout the region impacting all areas and product lines.
MEAP operating profit before tax was $63 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to a loss of $142 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in profitability is driven primarily by the operating cost reductions and lower depreciation and amortization expense from asset impairments recorded in 2016. Margins were also beenfavorably impacted by onshore pressure pumping sharebad debt recoveries of $10 million during the second quarter of 2017, compared to bad debt expense of $6 million in the second quarter of 2016. These improvements along with the increase in revenue more than offset the impact of further price deterioration. During the second quarter of 2016, we incurred costs of $125 million to write down certain excess inventory.

Industrial Services
For Industrial Services, revenue decreased $20 million or 7% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. This was primarily due to project completions and activity reductions drivenresulting from reduced spending and delayed projects by efforts to reduce lossesour customers, including several major pipeline construction and improve cash flowmaintenance projects partially offset by improvement in a market where pricing remains unsustainable.our downstream chemicals business.
North AmericaIndustrial Services operating loss before tax was $65$8 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017 compared to a loss of $43 million in the second quarter of 2016. Profitability was negatively impacted by reduced activity and to a lesser extent, price deterioration. These items were partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense from asset impairments recorded in 2016 and bad debt expense of $7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2016 that did not repeat in 2017. During the second quarter of 2016, we incurred costs of $47 million to write down certain excess inventory.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $412 million, or 8%, compared to $153the six months ended June 30, 2016. Revenue decreased in all segments except North America, with the steepest drop seen in both Latin America and EARC, where the average rig count declined 13% and 5%, respectively, for the first half of 2017 compared to the same period a year ago.
Operating profit before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $224 million, incompared to a loss of $1.26 billionfor the third quartersame period a year ago. All segments improved during the first six months of 2015. Although operating results were negatively impacted by2017 compared to the sharp reduction in activity and an increasingly unfavorable pricing environment,first six months of 2016 due to the actions taken in the past year to reduce our workforce, close and consolidate facilities and improve commercial terms with vendors resulted in lower operating costs. These actions to restructure our North American operations to operate in a lower activity and pricing environment, combined with

the reduction of depreciation and amortization from asset impairments, helped mitigate the impact of the ongoing decline in revenue experienced since early 2015.
Latin America
Latin America revenue decreased $196 million, or 45%, in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 primarily driven by reduced activity, as evident in the 41% rig count drop, and to a lesser extent lower pricing. Activity has declined swiftly across the entire segment and all product lines, with the Andean area and Mexico experiencing the largest decline as reflected by the year-over-year decline in the rig count of 71% and 41%, respectively.
Latin America operating profit before tax was $20 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $51 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in profitability primarily due to lower revenue was mitigated by reduced operating costs resulting from our efforts to structurally align the segment to reflect current and expected near-term activity levels. Profitability was improved due to lower provisions for doubtful accounts in Ecuador as a result of $21 million of provisions recorded in the third quarter of 2015 that did not repeat in the current quarter.
Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian
EARC revenue decreased $272 million, or 34%, in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to activity reductions across all markets and all product lines, but most notably the completion systems product line in West Africa and the drilling services product line in the United Kingdom. Price deterioration throughout the region also negatively impacted revenue. The unfavorable change in exchange rates, mainly for the British Pound and Nigerian Naira, accounted for more than 10% of the decline in revenue.
EARC operating profit before tax was $22 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $98 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decline in operating profit driven by the decline in revenue was partially offset by the benefit of implemented cost reduction measures, lower depreciation and amortization from asset impairments, and reduced foreign exchange losses in Angola and Russia.
Middle East/Asia Pacific
MEAP revenue decreased $200 million, or 24%, in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenue was largely due to reduced activity in Asia Pacific and Iraq, and significant pricing pressure across the region, most meaningfully in Asia Pacific. While all product lines have been negatively impacted by the continued downturn, our production-related product lines have shown some resiliency in the region.
MEAP operating profit before tax was $71 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $76 million in the third quarter of 2015. The reduction in profitability driven primarily by the decline in revenue was partially offset by operating cost reductions and lower depreciation and amortization from asset impairments. Also, in the third quarter of 2015, we incurred charges in Iraq related to our integrated operations that did not repeat in the third quarter of 2016.
Industrial Services
For Industrial Services, revenue decreased $71 million and profitability decreased $14 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 due to activity reductions as customers reduced spending and delayed projects including several major pipeline construction and maintenance projects. Revenue and profitability were also negatively impacted by pricing deterioration in the market. The impact on profitability from decreased activity and price deterioration was lessened by reduced operating costs and lower depreciation and amortization expense from asset impairments.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $4.92 billion, or 40%, compared to the nine

months ended September 30, 2015, in line with the 36% decline in the global rig count year-over-year. Revenue decreased in all segments, with the steepest drop seen in North America where the average rig count declined 52% for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period a year ago. Reduced activity, unfavorable pricing and foreign exchange rates negatively impacted our revenue from foreign operations.
Operating loss before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $1.18 billion, compared to operating profit before tax of $36 millionfor the same period a year ago. In all regions, margins were negatively impacted by the continued reduction in activity and an increasingly unfavorable pricing environment.vendors. During the first ninesix months of 2016, we recorded $587$621 million in charges to write off and dispose of inventory considered excess, and $209excess. In addition to the above, North America margins were favorably impacted by the deconsolidation of our onshore pressure pumping business, which had a net loss of $179 million in provisions for doubtful accounts. In comparison, operating loss before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Margins were also favorably impacted by bad debt recoveries of $111 million during the first ninesix months of 2015 included $1942017, primarily driven by the receipt of government-backed bonds in Ecuador in exchange for fully reserved outstanding receivables, compared to $215 million of bad debt expense in charges to write down the carrying valuefirst six months of certain inventory, and $160 million in provisions for doubtful accounts. Actions taken across all segments to reduce our workforce, close and consolidate facilities and improve commercial terms with vendors partially offset these unfavorable market conditions.2016.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 88%87% and 89%85% for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively, and 129% and 114% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively, and 105% and 92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue for the first nine months of 2016 was negatively impacted by a charge of $587 million to write off and dispose of certain excess inventory compared to a write-down of $194 million in the prior year. The increase

decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is due mainly to deteriorating pricing conditions as operators reduce their spending, partially offset by the benefit of implemented cost reduction measures and lower depreciation and amortization from asset impairments. Additionally, costimpairments that occurred in 2016. In addition, we incurred $621 million of revenue was negatively impacted by an increasecosts in provisions for doubtful accountsthe second quarter of $49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior year.
Researchwrite off and Engineering
Research and engineering expenses declined by $19 million and $74 milliondispose of certain excess inventory that did not recur in 2017. Cost of revenue for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017 was also favorably impacted by bad debt recoveries of $17 million and $111 million, respectively, compared to bad debt expense totaling $167 million and $215 million, respectively, in the prior year, primarilysame periods in 2016. These factors also contributed to the decline in 2017 in the cost of revenue as a resultpercentage of cost reduction measures.

Marketing, General and Administrative
Marketing, general and administrative ("MG&A") expenses declined by $8 million and $117 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,revenue compared to 2016. The second quarter of 2016 was benefited by a reversal of a loss on a firm purchase commitment of $51 million that was recorded in cost of service in the same period a year ago. The declinefirst quarter of 2016 as the contract was settled in MG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily a resultsecond quarter of workforce reductions, lower spending and reduced foreign exchange losses, partially offset by costs related to litigation settlements of $41 million.2016.
Impairment and Restructuring Charges
There were no new impairment and restructuring charges during the three months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $90 million consisting of $61 million for workforce reduction costs, and $29 million for contract termination costs and asset impairments related to facility closures and removal of excess machinery and equipment. Total cash paid during the first six months of 2017 related to workforce reductions and contract terminations was $85 million.
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $304 million$1.13 billion and $1.59$1.29 billion, respectively. The year-to-date restructuring charge through June 30, 2016 consisted of $203$145 million for workforce reduction costs, $146$91 million for contract termination costs and $1.24$1.05 billion for asset impairments related to excess machinery and equipment, facilities and intangible assets. Total cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to workforce reductions and contract terminations was $333$230 million.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded restructuring charges of $98 million and $747 million, respectively. The year-to-date restructuring charge consisted of $416 million for workforce reduction costs, $83 million for contract termination costs and $248 million for asset impairments related to excess machinery and equipment and facilities. Total cash paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to these charges was $338 million. For further discussion of these charges, see Note"Note 3. "ImpairmentImpairment and Restructuring Charges" of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part 1 herein.
The reduction in costs from eliminated depreciation, reduced employee expenses, and reduced interest expense on long-term debt in the three months ended September 30, 2016 is approximately $150 million, and is expected to be approximately $800 million on an annualized basis, $650 million, of which is related to actions taken post merger.
Goodwill Impairment
InBased on the results of our impairment test in the second quarter of 2016, we determined that goodwill of two of our reporting units was impaired and recorded an estimate of the goodwill impairment loss of $1.84 billion, which consisted of $1.53 billion for the North America segment and $311 million for the Industrial Services segment. We determined the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of techniques including the present value of future cash flows derived from our long-term plans and historical experience, and multiples of competitors. Based on the results of our impairment test,While we determined that goodwill of two of our reporting units was impaired, and we commenced the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Wehad substantially completed all actions necessary in the determination of the implied fair value of goodwill, in the second quarter of 2016; however, somecertain of the estimated fair values and allocations were subject to adjustment once the valuations and other computations were completed. Accordingly,completed, which occurred in the second quarter of 2016, we recorded an estimate of the goodwill impairment loss of $1.84 billion, which consisted of $1.53 billion for the North America segment and $311 million for the Industrial Services segment. During the third quarter of 2016, we finalized all valuations and computations, and adjusted our final goodwill impairment loss for the first nine months of 2016 to $1.86 billion, consisting of $1.55 billion for the North America segment and $309 million for the Industrial Services segment.2016.
Merger and Related Costs and Merger Termination Fee
We incurred net merger and related costs of $49 million and $80 million associated with the General Electric Transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. We incurred costs related to the Mergerterminated merger with Halliburton of $180$78 million and $204$180 million for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively, including costs under our retention programs andprograms. Costs related to the terminated merger with Halliburton also include obligations for minimum incentive compensation costs which, based on meeting eligibility criteria, have beenwere treated as merger and related expenses. No costs related to the Merger were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $93 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. On April 30, 2016, the Merger Agreement with Halliburton was terminated and as a result, Halliburton paid us $3.5 billion on May 4, 2016, which represents the termination fee required to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Agreement with Halliburton.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, total income tax expenseprovision was $70$72 million on a loss before income taxes, including equity in loss of $360affiliate, of $107 million, resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 19.4%67.3%. The negative effective tax rate is due primarily to the geographical mix of earnings and losses, such thatwhich resulted in taxes in

certain jurisdictions, including withholding and deemed profit taxes, exceedexceeding the tax benefit from the losses in other jurisdictions due to valuation allowances provided in most loss jurisdictions.
In the third quarter of 2016, we filed a carryback claim for the 2015 U.S. Net Operating Loss ("NOL") to prior tax years. As a result, a $370 million current income tax receivable is reflected in other current assets in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. We expect to receive the refund by December 31, 2016.
As a result of the geographic mix of earnings and losses, including the goodwill impairment, asset impairment, and restructuring charges, and other discrete tax items, our tax rate has been and will continue to be volatile until the market stabilizes.
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 SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.74$4.13 billion compared to $2.32$4.57 billion of cash and cash equivalents held at December 31, 2015. As a result of the failure of the Merger, Halliburton paid us $3.5 billion on May 4, 2016, which represents the termination fee required to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Part of the proceeds received were used to purchase $1.0 billion face value of our long-term notes and debentures, which included portions of each tranche of notes and debentures, and $763 million of our common stock.2016.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, approximately $2.3$2.9 billion of our cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries which was flat when compared to approximately $2.01 billionthe balance at December 31, 2015.2016. A substantial portion of the cash held by foreign subsidiaries at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was reinvested in our international operations as our intent is to use this cash to, among other things, fund the operations of our foreign subsidiaries. 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 based on applicable U.S. tax rates net of foreign tax credits. We haveAt June 30, 2017, we had a committed revolving credit facility ("credit facility") with commercial banks and a related commercial paper program under which the maximum combined borrowing at any time under both the credit facility and the commercial paper program is $2.5 billion. At September 30, 2016, we had no commercial paper outstanding; therefore, the amount available for borrowing under the credit facility as of September 30, 2016 was $2.5 billion. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we used cash to fund a variety of activities including certain working capital needs, and restructuring costs, capital expenditures, repurchases of long-term debt and common stock, and the payment of dividends. We believe that cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and the available credit facility, including the issuance of commercial paper, will provide sufficient liquidity to manage our global cash needs.
Cash Flows

Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities used cash of $227 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, due primarily to other operating items that used cash of $210 million due primarily to employee compensation payments related to annual bonuses and severance. In addition to these cash outflows, the changes in the components of our working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable) as a result of the increase in activity also used cash of $85 million. Cash flows from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 provided cash of $3.6$3.48 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily todriven by the receipt of the $3.5 billion merger termination fee. Included in our cash flows from operating activities forfee under the nine months ended September 30, 2016, are payments of $333 million made for

employee severance and contract termination costs as a result of our restructuring activities initiated in 2015 and continuing through the first nine months of 2016.Merger Agreement with Halliburton.
Investing Activities
Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures to ensure that we have the appropriate levels and types of machinery and equipment in place to generate revenue from operations. Expenditures for capital assets totaled $226$216 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to $156 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Proceeds from the disposal of assets were $199$134 million and $139 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which related primarily to equipment that was lost-in-hole, and to a lesser extent, property, machinery and equipment no longer used in operations that was sold throughout the period.
We had proceeds from maturitiessale of investment securities of $307$103 million and purchases of investment securities of $308$204 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017 and 2016, respectively. We purchased investment securities totaling $72 million and $276 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Financing Activities
We had net repayments of short-term debt and other borrowings of $57$10 million and $36 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017 and 2016, respectively. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2016 was $3.01 billion and $3.02 billion a decrease of $1.02 billion compared toat June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016, respectively. The total debt-to-capital (defined as total debt plus equity) ratio was 0.20 and 0.19 at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We paid dividends of $146 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017.
We had no stock repurchases in the six months ended June 30, 2017 under our previously announced purchase program. We had authorization remaining to repurchase approximately $1.24 billion in common stock at June 30, 2017. Under the Transaction Agreement with GE entered into on October 30, 2016, and 0.20 at December 31, 2015.
Upon terminationwe had generally agreed not to repurchase any shares of common stock or increase the Merger Agreement, on Aprilquarterly dividend while the transaction was pending. In May 2016 through June 30, 2016, we repurchased 10.9 million shares of our Boardcommon stock at an average price of Directors authorized the purchase$45.81 per share, for a total of debt of up to $1.0 billion and approved an increase to the share repurchase program authorization from $1.05 billion to $2.0 billion.$500 million.
In June 2016, we purchased $1.0 billion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount associated with our long-term outstanding notes and debentures, which included portions of each tranche of notes and debentures. Pursuant to a cash tender offer, the purchases resulted in the payment of an early-tender premium, including various fees, of $135 million and a pre-tax loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $142 million, which includes the premium and the write-off of a portion of the remaining original debt issue costs and debt discounts or premiums. The bond purchases will result in $55 million of annualized interest savings and $632 million of interest savings over the life of the bonds.
Beginning in May 2016, following the termination of the Merger, through September 30, 2016, we repurchased 16.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $47.09 per share, for a total of $763 million. We had authorization remaining to repurchase approximately $1.24 billion in common stock at September 30, 2016. We may continue to repurchase our common stock subject to market conditions, our liquidity and other considerations.
We paid dividends of $221 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Available Credit Facility
On July 13, 2016,At June 30, 2017, we entered intohad a new five-year $2.5 billion committed revolving credit facility (the "2016 Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in July 2021, which replaced our existing credit facility of $2.5 billion, but maintained the existingand a related commercial paper program. The previous credit facility had a maturity date in September of 2016. Theprogram under which the maximum combined borrowing at any time under both the 2016 Credit Agreementcredit facility and the commercial paper program is $2.5 billion. The 2016 Credit Agreement containscredit facility had a maturity date in July 2021 and contained certain covenants, which, among other things, requirerequired the maintenance of a total debt-to-total capitalization ratio, restrictrestricted certain merger transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a significant subsidiary and limitlimited the amount of subsidiary indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreementcredit facility may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the 2016 Credit Agreement,credit facility, covenant defaults and other customary defaults. To the extent we have outstanding commercial paper, the aggregate ability to borrow under the 2016 Credit Agreement is reduced.

During the first nine months of 2016, thereThere were no direct borrowings under either the previous credit facility orduring the 2016 Credit Agreement,six months ended June 30, 2017, and we were in compliance with all of the covenants under both credit facilities.facility's covenants. Under the commercial paper program, we may issue from time to time up to $2.5 billion in commercial paper with maturitiesmaturity of no more than 270 days. The amount available to borrow under the credit facility would beis reduced by the amount of any commercial paper outstanding. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had no outstanding borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.
On July 3, 2017, in connection with the combination with GE O&G, we entered into a new five-year $3 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2017 Credit Agreement") with commercial banks maturing in July 2022, which replaced our existing credit facility of $2.5 billion, but maintained the existing commercial paper program. 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 default. To the extent we have outstanding commercial paper, the aggregate ability to borrow under the 2017 Credit Agreement is reduced.
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 would seek alternative sources of funding, including borrowing under the credit facility.

We believe our current credit ratings would allow us to obtain interim financing over and above our existing credit facility for any currently unforeseen significant needs.
Cash Requirements
For 2016,2017, we believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and the available credit facility will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures and dividends, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. If necessary, we may issue commercial paper or other short-term debt to fund cash needs in the U.S. in excess of the cash generated in the U.S.
For 2016, we expect ourOur capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels. In light of the current market conditions, capital expenditures in 2017 will be between $300made as appropriate at a rate that we estimate would equal $450 million and $400to $500 million excluding any amount related to acquisitions.on an annualized basis. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily for normal, recurring items necessary to support our business and operations. A significant portion of our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels.
As a result of carrying back the 2015 NOL, we have revised our estimate for globalbusiness. We also anticipate making income tax payments and refunds and now anticipate receiving refunds, netin the range of income tax payments, of up$200 million to $75$250 million for 2016.in 2017.
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we contributed approximately $153$92 million to our defined benefit, defined contribution and other postretirement plans. Effective April 2016, employer contributions to certain defined contribution plans were suspended indefinitely. We expect we willto make additional contributions to other plans in the range of $18$120 million to $21$130 million for the remainder of 2017.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and prior to the closing of the Transactions, we paid dividends of $146 million. On July 3, 2017, subsequent to the period covered by this report and in connection with the fourth quarterclosing of 2016.
We may repurchase ourthe Transactions, a special one-time cash dividend of $17.50 per share was declared, and paid by Baker Hughes, a GE company to the former holders of record of Baker Hughes' common stock, depending on market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our liquidity and other considerations.

AsOur management, with the participation of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we haveour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to(as defined in Rule 13a-1515d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the Exchange Actend of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Thisthe period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, was carried out under the supervisionChief Executive Officer and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we identified a material weakness in our controls related to the determination of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there iseffective at a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our identified weakness had no impact on any amounts reported in the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 or for any previous period. We have evaluated the controls associated with valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and have designed a remediation plan to address identified weaknesses and to strengthen controls over this process. During the second and third quarters of 2016, we implemented certain control enhancements as part of the remediation plan. This weakness will not be considered remediated until the enhanced controls have been tested and determined to be designed and operating effectively, which we currently expect to occur as of December 31, 2016.assurance level.

Registered Public Accounting Firm's Interim Review
Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") advised the Audit Committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Audit Committee") that it performs certain non-audit services for, and has certain other relationships with GE, including GE O&G. Deloitte also advised the Audit Committee that certain present and former Deloitte personnel or certain of their family members have employment relationships with GE, and that certain Deloitte personnel and their family members and Deloitte member firms have financial interests in GE. Services and other relationships that relate to GE O&G include management functions, financial information systems design and implementation, and business relationships. Services and relationships that do not relate to GE O&G include management functions, expert services unrelated to the audit or review of the Company's financial statements, legal services, services performed under contingent fee arrangements, and business relationships. These financial interests, employment relationships, non-audit services, and business relationships are prohibited under the SEC's auditor independence rules.
Deloitte informed the Audit Committee that because the aforementioned matters did not impact the Company for any period through June 30, 2017 and prior to the closing of the Transactions, and because of appropriate measures with respect to the audit engagement team, Deloitte maintained objectivity and impartiality on all issues encompassed within its interim review of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017.
After considering the facts and circumstances, the Audit Committee concurred in Deloitte's conclusion that, for the reasons described, the aforementioned matters did not impair Deloitte's objectivity and impartiality with respect to the planning and execution of the interim review of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Change of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
