Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.


On October 21, 2015, Baker Hughes Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a news release announcing its financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2015, a copy of which is furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. In accordance with General Instructions B.2. of Form 8-K, the information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. As announced by the Company on March 27, 2015, as a result of the stockholder approval of the adoption of the merger agreement with Halliburton, the Company will no longer hold conference calls to discuss its quarterly results.


In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that were included in the news release, certain information discussed in the news release could be considered non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G). Any non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, or superior to, net income (loss), income (loss) from continuing operations, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the SEC. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP information to the closest GAAP measures are included in the news release.
