Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The Third-Quarter 2013 Results Press
Release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and the Third-Quarter 2013 Results — Supplemental Information furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, both of which are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02, were posted on the Schlumberger
internet website (www.slb.com/ir) on October 18, 2013. In accordance with General Instructions B.2. of Form 8-K, the information will not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor will it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that are included in the
attached Third-Quarter 2013 Results Press Release, the attached documents also include the following non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under Regulation G of the Exchange Act):
•
Net Debt
: Net Debt represents gross debt less cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments, held to maturity. Management believes that Net Debt provides useful information regarding the level
of Schlumberger's indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.
•
Income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger, excluding charges and credits; diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding charges and credits; pretax return on sales from
continuing operations, excluding charges and credits; after-tax return on sales from continuing operations, excluding charges and credits; and effective tax rate, excluding charges and credits
:
Management believes that the
exclusion of charges and credits from the foregoing financial measures enables it to evaluate more effectively Schlumberger's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by the excluded
items.
Third-Quarter 2013 income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger in accordance with
GAAP was $1.71 billion, representing diluted earnings-per-share from continuing operations of $1.29 versus $1.66 in the previous quarter, and $1.02 in the third quarter of 2012. Second-Quarter 2013 diluted earnings-per-share from continuing
operations, excluding charges and credits, was $1.15 in the previous quarter and $1.04 in the third quarter of 2012. Schlumberger did not record any charges or credits in the third quarter of 2013.
The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, total debt, cash flows
or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in Schlumberger's financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
