NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unaudited

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Cameron International Corporation (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  Those adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods, have been made.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. The Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto filed by the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of total contract profit or loss on certain long-term production contracts, estimated losses on accounts receivable, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, contingencies (including tax contingencies, estimated liabilities for litigation exposures and liquidated damages), estimated warranty costs, estimates related to pension accounting, estimates used to determine fair values in purchase accounting, estimates related to the fair value of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment and estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2: Discontinued Operations

The Company completed the sale of its Reciprocating Compression business to General Electric, effective June 1, 2014, and the sale of its Centrifugal Compression business to Ingersoll Rand on January 1, 2015.   The gross cash consideration of the Centrifugal Compression sale was $850 million, subject to closing adjustments.

Summarized financial information for these discontinued operations is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Goodwill impairment

The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with accounting rules on impairment of goodwill, which require that the Company estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units annually, or when impairment indicators exist, and compare such amounts to their respective carrying values to determine if an impairment of goodwill is required.  The estimated fair value of each reporting unit is primarily determined using discounted future expected cash flows (Level 3 unobservable inputs) consistent with the accounting guidance for fair-value measurements. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value models, including, but not limited to, estimates of future cash flows and the selection of a discount rate.  At March 31, 2015, the Company's reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes were OneSubsea, Process Systems, Surface, Drilling, Valves, and Measurement.

In connection with our annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2015, we tested the goodwill for each of our six reporting units. With the exception of the Process Systems reporting unit, no goodwill impairments were indicated.

With respect to the Process Systems reporting unit, our determination of fair value as of March 31, 2015 considered events that occurred in the first quarter, as well as our updated long-term outlook for this reporting unit. Those events included ongoing changes in the energy industry during the first quarter of 2015, a 42% reduction in North American rig count, numerous industry-wide deepwater project deferrals and idling of deepwater drilling rigs, as well as significant capital spending cuts announced by a number of oil and gas exploration companies since December 31, 2014.   Consistent with these industry-wide market changes, the Company also experienced the loss or indefinite deferral of several major project awards that we previously anticipated receiving.  Accordingly, when determining the fair value of the Process Systems reporting unit as of March 31, 2015, our projections considered these factors as well as the negative impact of the low commodity price environment on the long-term outlook for revenue growth and profitability in this business. Based on these considerations, we concluded the fair value (estimated using Level 3 unobservable inputs) of the Process Systems reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2015. We conducted a Step 2 analysis, which included a hypothetical purchase price allocation, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $517 million. As of March 31, 2015, following the impairment, the Process Systems reporting unit had $53 million of goodwill remaining.

8

Previously, goodwill totaling $40 million relating to the Company's Process Systems and Equipment (PSE) reporting unit was considered to be fully impaired during the annual goodwill impairment review conducted during the first quarter of 2014.

Gain from Venezuela currency devaluation

Because of the continuing economic turmoil in Venezuela and further statutory changes which impact exchange rates companies are allowed to use by the Venezuelan government when converting bolivars into dollars, Cameron recognized a gain of $4 million relating to the impact on its bolivar-denominated net liabilities of a devaluation of the Venezuelan currency from the official exchange rate used in the past to a market-based rate during the first quarter of 2015.

Note 13: Contingencies

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies, including litigation, tax contingencies and environmental matters.

Litigation

The Company has been and continues to be named as a defendant in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. At March 31, 2015, the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a liability of approximately $18 million for such cases. The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that the potential exposure from these suits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

14

Tax and Other Contingencies

The Company has legal entities in nearly 50 countries. As a result, the Company is subject to various tax filing requirements in these countries. The Company prepares its tax filings in a manner which it believes is consistent with such filing requirements. However, the tax laws and regulations to which the Company is subject often require interpretation and/or the application of judgment. Although the Company believes the tax liabilities for periods ending on or before the balance sheet date have been adequately provided for in the financial statements, to the extent a taxing authority believes the Company has not prepared its tax filings in accordance with the authority's interpretation of the tax laws and regulations, the Company could be exposed to additional taxes.

The Company has been assessed customs duties and penalties by the government of Brazil totaling a U.S. dollar equivalent of almost $40 million at March 31, 2015, including interest accrued at local country rates, following a customs audit for the years 2003-2010.  The Company filed an administrative appeal and believes a majority of this assessment will ultimately be proven to be incorrect because of numerous errors in the assessment, and because the government has not provided appropriate supporting documentation for the assessment.  As a result, the Company currently expects no material adverse impact on its results of operations or cash flows as a result of the ultimate resolution of this matter.  No amounts have been accrued for this assessment as of March 31, 2015 as no loss is currently determinable nor considered probable.

Environmental Matters

The Company is currently identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for one site designated for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or similar state law. The Osborne site is a landfill into which a predecessor of the Company's former Reciprocating Compression operation in Grove City, Pennsylvania deposited waste, where remediation was completed in 2011 and remaining costs relate to ongoing ground water monitoring. The Company is also a party with de minimis exposure at other CERCLA sites.

The Company is engaged in site cleanup under the Voluntary Cleanup Plan of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") at a former manufacturing location in Houston, Texas and had been engaged in one at a former manufacturing location in Missouri City, Texas.  With respect to the Missouri City site, the Company received a Certificate of Completion from the TCEQ on February 17, 2015.  With respect to the Houston site, in 2001 the Company discovered that contaminated underground water had migrated under an adjacent residential area. Pursuant to applicable state regulations, the Company notified the affected homeowners. Concerns over the impact on property values of the underground water contamination and its public disclosure led to a number of claims by homeowners.  The Company has settled these claims, primarily as a result of the settlement of a class action lawsuit, and is obligated to reimburse approximately 190 homeowners for any diminution in value of their property due to contamination concerns at the time of the property's sale. Test results of monitoring wells on the southeastern border of the plume indicate that the plume is moving in a new direction, likely as a result of a ground water drainage system completed as part of an interstate highway improvement project.  As a result, the Company notified 39 additional homeowners, and may provide notice to additional homeowners, whose property is adjacent to the class area that their property may be affected. The Company continues to monitor the situation to determine whether additional remedial measures would be appropriate.  The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that any potential exposure from existing agreements as well as any possible new claims that may be filed with respect to this underground water contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of approximately $7 million for these matters as of March 31, 2015. 

Additionally, the Company has ceased operations at a number of other sites which had been active for many years and which may have yet undiscovered contamination. The Company does not believe, based upon information currently available, that there are any material environmental liabilities existing at these locations. At March 31, 2015, the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of nearly $3 million for these environmental matters.

Note 14: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, non-qualified benefit plan assets, trade payables, derivative instruments and debt instruments. Due to the short-term nature of each, the book values of trade receivables, trade payables and commercial paper are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Following is a summary of the Company's financial instruments which have been valued at fair value in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	Fair Value Based on Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Fair Value Based on Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)						Total

	$	1,537	$	1,621	$	109		$	(75	)	$	1,646		$	1,546

Fair values for financial instruments utilizing level 2 inputs were determined from information obtained from third party pricing sources, broker quotes or calculations involving the use of market indices.

At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt (based on Level 1 quoted market rates) was approximately $2.9 billion as compared to the $2.7 billion face value of the debt recorded, net of original issue discounts, in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

Derivative Contracts

In order to mitigate the effect of exchange rate changes, the Company will often attempt to structure sales contracts to provide for collections from customers in the currency in which the Company incurs its manufacturing costs. In certain instances, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific large anticipated receipts or disbursements in currencies for which the Company does not have fully offsetting local currency expenditures or receipts. The Company was party to a number of long-term foreign currency forward contracts at March 31, 2015. The purpose of the majority of these contracts was to hedge large anticipated non-functional currency cash flows on major subsea, drilling, valve or other equipment projects. Many of these contracts have been designated as and are accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of those contracts recorded in accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (loss) in the period such change occurs.  Certain other contracts, many of which are centrally managed, are intended to offset other foreign currency exposures but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, therefore, any change in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.  The Company determines the fair value of its outstanding foreign currency forward contracts based on quoted exchange rates for the respective currencies applicable to similar instruments.

16

The Company manages its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and employs from time to time interest rate swaps as a tool to achieve that goal.

Total gross volume bought (sold) by notional currency and maturity date on open derivative contracts at March 31, 2015 was as follows:

	Notional Amount - Buy								Notional Amount - Sell
(amounts in millions)	2015		2016		2017		Total		2015			2016			Total

While the Company and its counterparties have the right to offset gains and losses on different derivative contracts under certain circumstances, the Company's policy is to record its derivative contracts on a gross basis.  The fair values of derivative financial instruments recorded in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets were as follows:

	March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014

Note 15: Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The core principle of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.  Companies will need to:

• identify performance obligations in each contract,

• estimate the amount of variable consideration to include the transaction price, and

• allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

ASU 2014-09 was initially scheduled to be effective for Cameron no earlier than the first quarter of 2017, however, on April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date by one year.  It is expected the proposed rule to defer the effective date will be finalized during the second quarter of 2015.  The Company is beginning the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on its business and addressing whether it will select either the full retrospective or the modified retrospective implementation method upon the expected adoption date of January 1, 2018.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In addition to the historical data contained herein, this Quarterly Report, including the information set forth in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report, may include forward-looking statements regarding future market strength, customer spending and order levels, revenues and earnings of the Company, as well as expectations regarding equipment deliveries, margins, profitability, the ability to control and reduce raw material, overhead and operating costs, cash generated from operations, capital expenditures and the use of existing cash balances and future anticipated cash flows made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements. Any such statements are based on current expectations of the Company's performance and are subject to a variety of factors, some of which are not under the control of the Company, but which can affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. Such factors may include overall demand for, and pricing of, the Company's products; the size and timing of orders; the Company's ability to successfully execute large subsea and drilling projects it has been awarded; the possibility of cancellations of orders in backlog; the Company's ability to convert backlog into revenues on a timely and profitable basis; warranty and product liability claims; the impact of acquisitions the Company has made or may make; the potential impairment of goodwill related to such acquisitions; changes in the price of (and demand for) oil and gas in both domestic and international markets; raw material costs and availability; political and social issues affecting the countries in which the Company does business; fluctuations in currency markets worldwide; and variations in global economic activity. In particular, current and projected oil and gas prices historically have generally directly affected customers' spending levels and their related purchases of the Company's products and services. As a result, changes in oil and gas price expectations may impact the demand for the Company's products and services and the Company's financial results. See additional factors discussed in "Factors That May Affect Financial Condition and Future Results" contained herein.

Because the information herein is based solely on data currently available, it is subject to change as a result of, among other things, changes in conditions over which the Company has no control or influence, and should not therefore be viewed as assurance regarding the Company's future performance. Additionally, the Company is not obligated to make public disclosure of such changes unless required under applicable disclosure rules and regulations.

⁽¹⁾Based on average monthly rig count data from Baker Hughes

⁽²⁾Source: Bloomberg

⁽³⁾Source: IHS Energy - IHSPetrodata World Rig Forecast

Worldwide drilling activity declined significantly in most major regions of the world, except the Middle East, during the first three months of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, as well as from the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, mainly as a result of the sharp drop in commodity prices that began during the latter half of 2014 and continued into the first quarter of 2015, and the resulting 2015 capital spending cuts announced by many of the largest oil and gas production companies.  Average worldwide working rig levels at the end of the first quarter of 2015 were down 28% from December 2014 and were at their lowest levels in the last six years. Although the Company has a substantial backlog of work that is scheduled to be executed during 2015, these declines in commodity prices and drilling activity levels have already had and will continue to have a negative impact on future demand for our products and services and our future revenues and earnings.  Based on the Company's long history in the energy sector, we believe such declines in commodity prices and the level of demand are typically cyclical in nature.  During such cyclical downturns, we take steps to adjust our commercial, manufacturing and support operations as appropriate to ensure that the Company remains competitive.  The Company cannot predict the duration or depth of this down cycle.

20

In the United States, rigs drilling for oil in the first quarter of 2015 were down 24% from the first quarter of 2014, down 46% at quarter-end from year-end 2014 rig count levels, and, at the end of the quarter, were at their lowest levels since the first quarter of 2011.  The number of rigs drilling for gas in the United States during the first quarter of 2015 was 16% lower than the first quarter of 2014 and, at quarter-end, was down 31% from year-end 2014 levels.  Gas rig count levels in the United States at the end of the first quarter of 2015 were at their lowest levels in the last quarter of a century.

The decrease in the Canadian rig count during the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 was due largely to a decrease of 57% in the number of rigs drilling for oil.  Rigs drilling for gas were also down 13% during those same periods.  At the end of the first quarter of 2015, the number of rigs drilling for oil in Canada was at a six-year low.

The average rig count decline noted in the table above for the remainder of the world was primarily the result of lower activity levels in Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.

Crude oil and natural gas prices continued moving downward during the first quarter of 2015 as a result of weak demand and excess supply, among other factors.  WTI prices at the end of the first quarter of 2015 have declined 56% since their high of over $107 per barrel in July 2014, including a drop of nearly 11% since year-end 2014.  The twelve-month futures price for WTI crude oil at March 31, 2015, however, was approximately 12% higher than spot prices at the end of the quarter.

Brent crude prices reached a high of almost $112 per barrel in June 2014 before dropping nearly 47% by the end of the first quarter of 2015, including a drop of 4% since year-end 2014.  The twelve-month futures price for Brent crude as of March 31, 2015 was 7% lower than the closing spot price on that date of $59.51.

Natural gas prices as of the end of the first quarter of 2015 have declined 49% from an average of $5.16 per MMBtu during the first three months of 2014.  This includes a 12% drop in the spot price since the end of 2014.  The twelve-month futures strip price for natural gas at March 31, 2015 was $2.91 per MMBtu at Henry Hub, which was 11% higher than the spot price at that date of $2.62. 

The total number of drillships and semi-submersibles under contract at March 31, 2015 was down from the prior year due to the decline in commodity prices and drilling activity that began in the latter half of 2014.  The utilization of the marketed supply of drillships declined in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 as more drillships became available without a contract.  The utilization for semi-submersibles remained relatively flat across both periods as declines in the number of semi-submersibles being marketed and those under contract remained mostly in balance.  At March 31, 2015, the supply of available semi-submersibles and drillships currently exceeds demand with additional supply expected to come on-line during the remainder of 2015 and beyond.  Many of the newbuild drillships and semi-submersibles that are currently on order, planned or under construction do not currently have contracts in place.  In connection with this, and in response to current market conditions, certain drilling contractors have previously announced plans to cold stack or scrap certain older rigs in their existing portfolio during 2015.

Goodwill Impairment

The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with accounting rules on impairment of goodwill, which require that the Company estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units annually, or when impairment indicators exist, and compare such amounts to their respective carrying values to determine if an impairment of goodwill is required.  The estimated fair value of each reporting unit is primarily determined using discounted future expected cash flows (Level 3 unobservable inputs) consistent with the accounting guidance for fair-value measurements. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value models, including, but not limited to, estimates of future cash flows and the selection of a discount rate.  At March 31, 2015, the Company's reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes were OneSubsea, Process Systems, Surface, Drilling, Valves, and Measurement.

21

In connection with our annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2015, we tested the goodwill for each of our six reporting units. With the exception of the Process Systems reporting unit, no goodwill impairments were indicated.

With respect to the Process Systems reporting unit, our determination of fair value as of March 31, 2015 considered events that occurred in the first quarter, as well as our updated long-term outlook for this reporting unit. Those events included ongoing changes in the energy industry during the first quarter of 2015, a 42% reduction in North American rig count, numerous industry-wide deepwater project deferrals and idling of deepwater drilling rigs, as well as significant capital spending cuts announced by a number of oil and gas exploration companies since December 31, 2014.   Consistent with these industry-wide market changes, the Company also experienced the loss or indefinite deferral of several major project awards that we previously anticipated receiving.  Accordingly, when determining the fair value of the Process Systems reporting unit as of March 31, 2015, our projections considered these factors as well as the negative impact of the low commodity price environment on the long-term outlook for revenue growth and profitability in this business. Based on these considerations, we concluded the fair value (estimated using Level 3 unobservable inputs) of the Process Systems reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2015. We conducted a Step 2 analysis, which included a hypothetical purchase price allocation, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $517 million. As of March 31, 2015, following the impairment, the Process Systems reporting unit had $53 million of goodwill remaining.

Consolidated Results

Net income attributable to Cameron stockholders for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $49 million, compared to $111 million for the first quarter of 2014.  Included in the results for the first quarter of 2015 were asset impairment charges of $553 million, including the charge taken for impairment of goodwill in the Company's Process Systems business, as described above, and income from discontinued operations of $429 million.  Discontinued operations include the Company's Reciprocating Compression business sold in June 2014 and the Centrifugal Compression business sold effective January 1, 2015.  The income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2015 primarily represents the gain on the sale of Centrifugal Compression.

Losses from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to Cameron stockholders totaled $1.97 in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $0.49 of income from continuing operations for the same period in 2014, primarily reflecting the impact of the asset impairment charges in the first quarter of 2015.  The 2015 gain on the sale of Centrifugal Compression was primarily responsible for earnings from discontinued operations per diluted share increasing from $0.02 per share during the first quarter of 2014 to $2.22 per share for the first quarter of 2015.

Absent the asset impairment charges and certain other costs described in Note 3 and  discontinued operations, earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to Cameron stockholders would have been $0.91 during the first three months of 2015, compared to $0.70 during the first three months of 2014, an increase of approximately 30%.

Total revenues for the Company decreased $56 million, or 2%, during the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, as decreases in market-driven activity levels impacting the Subsea and V&M segments more than offset revenue increases in the Drilling segment.

As a percent of revenues, cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased from 72.6% during the first quarter of 2014 to 70.7% for the first quarter of 2015, mainly as a result of better project margins in the Subsea and Drilling segments.  Comments regarding margins in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to Revenues minus Cost of Sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) as shown separately on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

22

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $32 million, or 10%, during the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014.  Selling and administrative expenses were 12.6% of revenues for the first quarter of 2015, down from 13.7% for the first quarter of 2014, reflecting the impact of cost control efforts throughout the Company.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $89 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $85 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $4 million.  The increase was due primarily to higher depreciation expense in the Surface segment from previous spending on new rental fleet equipment.

Net interest increased $6 million, from $32 million during the first quarter of 2014 to $38 million during the first quarter of 2015, mainly as a result of $500 million of new senior notes issued in June 2014 and higher interest on capital leases.

In addition to asset impairment charges of $553 million, including the goodwill impairment charge described above, the Company incurred $24 million of other costs during the first quarter of 2015, as compared to $40 million for an asset impairment charge and $9 million of other costs in the first quarter of 2014.  Further information regarding these items may be found in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Company's effective tax rate on income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the first quarter of 2015 was a negative 16.3% compared to 29.0% for the first quarter of 2014.  The components of the effective tax rates for both periods were as follows:

Revenues

Revenues decreased in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of a slowdown in new product shipments, partially offset by strong growth in the segment's Services business.

Segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues

Segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues improved in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, due mainly to better margin performance resulting from higher pricing on projects in existing backlog and better project execution, as well as cost control efforts that resulted in a decrease in selling and administrative expenses and from lower depreciation and amortization expense in relation to revenues.

Orders

Orders increased during the first three months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to an award during the first quarter of 2015 for new subsea trees and related systems for a project offshore Egypt in comparison to the low level of subsea tree awards received during the first three months of 2014.

Backlog (at period-end)

A decline in new project awards, combined with higher revenues during the last twelve months, were the main drivers for the reduction in backlog levels at March 31, 2015 as compared to March 31, 2014.

Revenues

Revenues were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 as deliveries from backlog and international shipments have moderated the impact of lower activity levels in various North American unconventional resource regions as a result of the recent decline in commodity prices.

Segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues

Segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues was flat in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year as improved product margins were mostly offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense in relation to revenues.

Orders

Orders declined during the first three months of 2015 as compared to the first three months of 2014 reflecting reduced activity levels in various North American unconventional resource regions in response to declining commodity prices, as well as lower demand for new products from customers in Saudi Arabia as compared to the high levels experienced during the first three months of 2014.

Backlog (at period-end)

The decrease in segment backlog at March 31, 2015 as compared to March 31, 2014 largely reflects weakness in demand for new equipment over the last twelve months from customers in the North Sea and Algeria.

25

Revenues

Revenues increased in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 driven mainly by better project execution of orders from the segment's substantial beginning-of-the-year backlog levels.

Segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues

The significant increase in segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year was due primarily to better project execution and cost control efforts which led to a decrease in selling and administrative expenses as compared to the first quarter of 2014.

Orders

Order rates declined during the first three months of 2015 as compared to the first three months of 2014 as a result of a slowdown in rig construction activity (both offshore and onshore) in the first quarter of 2015, mainly reflecting current market conditions with respect to new drilling activity and lower discretionary spending plans by customers for new services.

Backlog (at period-end)

Backlog at March 31, 2015 decreased from March 31, 2014 mainly due to the slowdown in large rig construction and drilling stack project awards in 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, as described above, which, in total, have not kept pace with revenue arising from manufacturing activity levels on previously existing backlog.

Revenues

Segment revenues declined in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, as lower North America upstream activity levels, resulting from a decline in commodity prices, resulted in lower sales of valves and measurement products.  Additionally, shipment slippages on custom valve and measurement projects, due to various customer changes, negatively impacted sales.

Segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues

The ratio of segment operating income before interest and income taxes as a percent of revenues declined sharply in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower valve and measurement product margins and higher depreciation and amortization expense on lower volumes.  Although selling and administrative expenses declined in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, the rate of decline was less than the rate of decline in revenues.

26

Orders

Orders for the first three months of 2015 reflected a significant decline when compared to the first quarter of 2014.  Lower North America upstream activity levels and high distributor inventory levels reduced demand for valve and measurement products.  Orders for services increased in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to first quarter of 2014, primarily due to strong Middle East customer operating expenditures on maintenance activities and Asia Pacific customer mid-stream commissioning activities.

Backlog (at period-end)

Backlog levels for the V&M segment decreased from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015, as recent order rates for custom valve and measurement products have not kept pace with recent deliveries.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses were $23 million for the first quarter of 2015, a decline of $14 million from $37 million in the first quarter of 2014.  The decrease was due primarily to lower employee compensation costs and the impact of cost control efforts on other governance activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows

During the first three months of 2015, net cash used for operations totaled $193 million, an increase of $19 million from the $174 million of cash used for operations during the first three months of 2014.

Cash totaling $429 million was used to increase working capital during the first three months of 2015 compared to $448 million used during the first three months of 2014, a decrease of $19 million.  During the first three months of 2015, $147 million of cash was generated from the net collection of receivables while $105 million was used to build inventory levels. The timing of payments to third parties and employee incentive payouts made in the first quarter of 2015 contributed to a use of cash totaling $471 million for the period.

Cash provided by investing activities during the first three months of 2015 was $437 million, compared to $99 million used for investing activities during the first three months of 2014.  Net proceeds from the sale of the Centrifugal Compression business added $831 million in cash during the first quarter of 2015.  During this same period, net cash of $311 was used to increase the Company's short-term investment balances. Additionally, capital spending declined from $105 million during the first three months of 2014 to $89 million for the first three months of 2015, reflecting current market conditions.

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $396 million for the first three months of 2015 compared to $564 million used during the first three months of 2014.  Approximately $182 million of cash was used to acquire nearly 4 million shares of treasury stock and $201 million of cash was used to repurchase outstanding commercial paper during the first quarter of 2015.  During the first quarter of 2014, the Company acquired over 15 million shares of treasury shares at a cost of approximately $902 million and issued commercial paper totaling $325.0 million in principal amount.  The Company currently anticipates issuing new commercial paper from time to time in the future for general corporate needs.

27

Future liquidity requirements

At March 31, 2015, the Company had $1.7 billion of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.  Approximately $525 million of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2015 were in the OneSubsea venture.  Dividends of available cash from OneSubsea to the venture partners require approval of the OneSubsea Board of Directors prior to payment.  Of the remaining cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, nearly $446 million was located in the United States.  Total debt at March 31, 2015 was nearly $2.8 billion, most of which was in the United States.  Excluding capital leases, nearly $517 million of the debt obligations have maturities within the next three-year period.  The remainder of the Company's long-term debt is due in varying amounts between July 2018 and December 2043.

Excluding discontinued operations, the Company's backlog decreased $752 million or nearly 8% from December 31, 2014.  Orders during the first quarter of 2015 were down nearly 31% from the first quarter of 2014 due mainly to decreased activity levels as a result of the significant decline in commodity prices which began in mid-2014.  The Company views its backlog of unfilled orders, current order rates, current rig count levels and current and future expected oil and gas prices to be, in varying degrees, leading indicators of and factors in determining its estimates of future revenues, cash flows and profitability levels.  Information regarding actual first quarter 2015 and 2014 average rig count and commodity price levels and forward-looking twelve-month market-traded futures prices for crude oil and natural gas are shown in more detail under the caption "Recent Market Conditions" above.  A more detailed discussion of orders and backlog by segment may be found under "First Quarter 2015 Compared to First Quarter 2014 - Segment Results" above.  As a result of these and other factors, the Company currently anticipates declines in consolidated orders, backlog and revenues during the remainder of 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014.

The Company believes, based on its current financial condition, existing backlog levels, which continue to be at significant levels, and current expectations for future market conditions, that it will be able to meet its short- and longer-term liquidity needs with existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, expected cash flow from future operating activities, amounts available for borrowing under its $835 million five-year multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on June 6, 2016, and its three-year $750 million Revolving Credit Facility, expiring April 11, 2017.  At March 31, 2015, no amounts had been borrowed under the $835 million facility and the Company had issued letters of credit totaling $45 million under the $750 million facility, leaving a remaining amount of $705 million available for future use.

The Company also believes its existing financial condition and debt ratings, absent significant unanticipated negative developments, allow it the ability to be able to refinance debt maturing within the next three to five years with future long-term debt issuances.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had remaining authority for future treasury stock purchases totaling approximately $298 million.

Factors That May Affect Financial Condition and Future Results

Downturns in the oil and gas industry have had, and will likely in the future have, a negative effect on the Company's sales and profitability.

Demand for most of the Company's products and services, and therefore its revenue, depends to a large extent upon the level of capital expenditures related to oil and gas exploration, development, production, processing and transmission. Declines, as well as anticipated declines, in oil and gas prices could negatively affect the level of these activities, or could result in the cancellation, modification or rescheduling of existing orders. For example, oil prices began declining during the third quarter of 2014, dropping nearly 56% for West Texas Intermediate crude from mid-year 2014 levels to under $48 per barrel as of March 31, 2015.  Similarly, natural gas prices declined from an average of $5.16 per MMBtu during the first three months of 2014 to $2.62 per MMBtu at March 31, 2015.  These declines have already begun to, and are expected to continue to, significantly affect exploration and production activity levels and, therefore, demand for the Company's products and services at least through the remainder of 2015.  During the first quarter of 2015 there have been numerous deepwater projects deferred and deepwater rigs idled.  In addition to a decline in future orders and revenues, the Company expects to incur additional costs as it seeks to adjust its commercial, manufacturing and support operations levels to meet expected future customer demand. See also the discussion in "Market Conditions" above for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014.

28

Cancellation, downsizing or delays of orders in backlog are possible.

As described above, commodity prices have declined significantly since mid-2014 which has resulted in various oil and gas exploration and production companies announcing spending cuts or deferrals in their 2015 capital spending plans, as well as headcount reductions.  At current price levels, certain projects, particularly those in deepwater environments and unconventional resource regions, may become uneconomical for the risk involved.  Certain customers that are more highly leveraged may also experience concerns regarding future projected cash flows based on current price levels.  These factors described above could result in existing orders in backlog being cancelled, downsized or future shipment dates may be delayed, all of which could further negatively impact the Company's future profitability.

At March 31, 2015, the Company's backlog was approximately $8.8 billion, down nearly 8% from December 31, 2014.  An example of a cancellation of an existing order is the reversal of $243 million of backlog during the first quarter of 2014 as the result of a customer cancellation of a large drilling project award issued in 2012.  Another example of a potential delay or downsizing of a previous award is the announcement by Chevron in late 2013 of the deferral of its Rosebank project, which was awarded in 2013 and currently accounts for $488 million of the Company's ending backlog at March 31, 2015, in order to work with its partners to improve the project's economics.  Although the original contract remains in place, OneSubsea is currently working with Chevron on a revised scope for the project based on a new field layout design.

The inability of the Company to deliver its backlog or future orders on time could affect the Company's sales and profitability and its relationships with its customers.

The ability to meet customer delivery schedules on the Company's existing backlog, as well as future orders, is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, access to the raw materials required for production, an adequately trained and capable workforce, project engineering expertise for large subsea projects, sufficient manufacturing plant capacity and appropriate planning and scheduling of manufacturing resources.  Many of the contracts the Company enters into with its customers require long manufacturing lead times and contain penalty clauses relating to on-time delivery. A failure by the Company to deliver in accordance with customer expectations could subject the Company to financial penalties or loss of financial incentives and may result in damage to existing customer relationships.

Portions of the backlog for our Subsea and Drilling segments are subject to heightened execution risk.

Cameron is involved in projects to provide customers with deepwater stacks and jackup complete drilling packages and, through our Subsea segment, is a significant participant in the subsea systems projects market.  Some of the projects for these markets carry heightened execution risk because of their scope and complexity, in terms of both technical and logistical requirements.  Such projects (i) may often involve long lead times, (ii) are larger in financial scope, (iii) require substantial engineering resources to meet the technical requirements of the project and (iv) often involve the application of existing technology to new environments and, in some cases, may require the development of new technology. As a subset of its total backlog at March 31, 2015, the Company's Drilling segment had projects fitting this risk profile that amounted to approximately $1.4 billion.   As a subset of its total backlog at March 31, 2015, the Company's Subsea segment had projects fitting this risk profile that amounted to approximately $1.9 billion.  To the extent the Company experiences unplanned difficulties in meeting the technical and/or delivery requirements of the projects, the Company's earnings or liquidity could be negatively impacted.  The Company accounts for its drilling and subsea projects, as it does its separation projects, using accounting rules for construction-type and production-type contracts.  Factors that may affect future project costs and margins include the ability to properly execute the engineering and design phases consistent with our customers' expectations, production efficiencies obtained, and the availability and costs of labor, materials and subcomponents.  These factors can impact the accuracy of the Company's estimates and materially impact the Company's future period earnings.  If the Company experiences cost overruns, the expected margin could decline.  Were this to occur, in accordance with the accounting guidance, the Company would record a cumulative adjustment to reduce the margin previously recorded on the related project in the period a change in estimate is determined.   Deepwater stack and jackup complete drilling packages and subsea systems projects accounted for approximately 14% and 12%, respectively, of total first quarter 2015 revenues.

29

As a designer, manufacturer, installer and servicer of oil and gas pressure control equipment, the Company may be subject to liability for personal injury, property damage and environmental contamination should such equipment fail to perform to specifications.

Cameron provides products and systems to customers involved in oil and gas exploration, development and production, as well as in certain other industrial markets.  Some of the Company's equipment is designed to operate in high-temperature and/or high-pressure environments on land, on offshore platforms and on the seabed, and some equipment is designed for use in hydraulic fracturing operations.  Cameron also provides parts and repair services at numerous facilities located around the world, as well as at customer sites for this type of equipment.  Because of applications to which the Company's products and services are put, particularly those involving the high temperature and/or pressure environments, a failure of such equipment, or a failure of our customer to maintain or operate the equipment properly, could cause damage to the equipment, damage to the property of customers and others, personal injury and environmental contamination, onshore or offshore, leading to claims against Cameron.

Certain of the Company's risk mitigation strategies may not be fully effective.

The Company relies on customer indemnifications and third-party insurance as part of its risk mitigation strategy.  There is, however, an increasing reluctance of customers to provide what had been typical oilfield indemnifications for pollution, consequential losses, property damage, and personal injury and death, and a reluctance, even refusal, of counterparties to honor their contractual indemnity obligations when given.  In addition, insurance companies may refuse to honor their policies.

An example of both is the Company's experience in the Deepwater Horizon matter.  The Company's customer denied that it owed any indemnification under its contract with us, and when called on to participate in the Company's settlement with BP Exploration and Production Inc., one of the seven insurers refused to provide coverage.  The Company subsequently sued its insurer and won a judgment for the full policy amount plus interest and costs, but the insurer continues to litigate the matter and has appealed the judgment.

The implementation of an upgraded business information system may disrupt the Company's operations or its system of internal controls.

The Company has a project underway to upgrade its SAP business information systems worldwide.  The first stage of this multi-year effort was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2011 with the deployment of the upgraded system to the Company's process systems and compression businesses.  Since then, other businesses and business functions have been migrated in stages.  As of March 31, 2015, nearly all businesses within the V&M segment, the Surface segment, the Company's worldwide engineering and human resource functions, as well as other corporate office activities are now operating on the upgraded system.  The Drilling segment is scheduled to be migrated in the third quarter of 2015 and the OneSubsea business in 2016.  The Drilling segment and the OneSubsea business are major contributors to the Company's consolidated revenues and income before income taxes.

As this system continues to be deployed throughout the Company, delays or difficulties may be encountered in effectively and efficiently processing transactions and conducting business operations, including project management, until such time as personnel are familiar with all appropriate aspects and capabilities of the upgraded systems.

30

The Company's operations and information systems are subject to cybersecurity risks.

Cameron continues to increase its dependence on digital technologies to conduct its operations. Many of the Company's files are digitized and more employees are working in almost paperless environments.  Additionally, the hardware, network and software environments to operate SAP, the Company's main enterprise-wide operating system, have been outsourced to third parties.  Other key software products used by the Company to conduct its operations either reside on servers in remote locations or are operated by the software vendors or other third parties for the Company's use as "Cloud-based" or "Web-based" applications.  The Company has also outsourced certain information technology development, maintenance and support functions.  As a result, the Company is exposed to potentially severe cyber incidents at both its internal locations and outside vendor locations that could result in a theft of intellectual property and/or disruption of its operations for an extended period of time resulting in the loss of critical data and in higher costs to correct and remedy the effects of such incidents, although no such material incidents have occurred to date to the Company's knowledge.

Fluctuations in currency markets can impact the Company's profitability.

The Company has established multiple "Centers of Excellence" facilities for manufacturing such products as subsea trees, subsea chokes, subsea production controls and blowout preventers.  These production facilities are located in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Romania, Italy, Norway and other European and Asian countries. To the extent the Company sells these products in U.S. dollars, the Company's profitability is eroded when the U.S. dollar weakens against the British pound, the euro, the Brazilian real and certain Asian currencies, including the Singapore dollar. Alternatively, profitability is enhanced when the U.S. dollar strengthens against these same currencies.  For further information on the use of derivatives to mitigate certain currency exposures, see Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" below and Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Company's operations expose it to risks of non-compliance with numerous countries' import and export laws and regulations, and with various nations' trade regulations including U.S. sanctions.

The Company's operations expose it to trade and import and export regulations in multiple jurisdictions.  In addition to using "Centers of Excellence" for manufacturing products to be delivered around the world, the Company imports raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished products into many countries for use in country or for manufacturing and/or finishing for re-export and import into another country for use or further integration into equipment or systems.  Most movement of raw materials, semi-finished or finished products by the Company involves exports and imports.  As a result, compliance with multiple trade sanctions and embargoes and import and export laws and regulations poses a constant challenge and risk to the Company.  The Company has received a number of inquiries from U.S. governmental agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Office of Foreign Assets Control, regarding compliance with U.S. trade sanction and export control laws, the most recent of which was received in December 2012 and replied to by the Company in January 2013.  The Company has undergone and will likely continue to undergo governmental audits to determine compliance with export and customs laws and regulations.

The United States and the European Union (EU) also recently imposed sanctions on various sectors of the Russian economy and on transactions with certain Russian nationals and entities.  These sanctions may severely limit the amount of future business the Company does with customers involved in activities in Russia.  As of March 31, 2015, approximately 1% of the Company's backlog from continuing operations related to future deliveries to customers doing business in Russia.  Customer sales by the Company's continuing operations into Russia during the first quarter of 2015 totaled less than 1% of the Company's sales during the year.  In addition, the sanctions of the U.S. and the EU are inconsistent and neither is, as yet, well defined, both of which factors increase the risk of an unintended violation.

31

The Company's operations expose it to political and economic risks and instability due to changes in economic conditions, civil unrest, foreign currency fluctuations, and other risks, such as local content requirements, inherent to international businesses.

The political and economic risks of doing business on a worldwide basis include the following: 

• volatility in general economic, social and political conditions;

• the effects of civil unrest and, in some cases, military action on the Company's business operations, customers and employees, such as that recently occurring in several countries in the  Middle East, in Ukraine and in Venezuela;

• exchange controls or other similar measures which result in restrictions on repatriation of capital and/or income, such as those involving the currencies of, and the Company's operations in, Angola and Nigeria; and

• reductions in the number or capacity of qualified personnel.

In recent months, civil unrest and military action have increased in Iraq which may impact the ability of that country to continue to produce and export oil at current levels.  Such unrest may also jeopardize the Company's in-country investments and on-going business activities supporting Iraq's oil and gas production infrastructure.  At March 31, 2015, less than 1% of the Company's backlog related to future deliveries to customers doing business in Iraq.  Additionally, less than 1% of the Company's property, plant and equipment were located in Iraq.  The Company is also evaluating its options under the force majeure clauses of each of the major contracts with its customers doing business in Iraq in the event the current situation in that country continues to deteriorate.

Cameron also has manufacturing and service operations that are essential parts of its business in other developing countries and volatile areas in Africa, Latin America and other countries that were part of the Former Soviet Union, the Middle East, and Central and South East Asia. Recent increases in activity levels in certain of these regions have increased the Company's risk of identifying and hiring sufficient numbers of qualified personnel to meet increased customer demand in selected locations.  The Company also purchases a large portion of its raw materials and components from a relatively small number of foreign suppliers in China, India and other developing countries. The ability of these suppliers to meet the Company's demand could be adversely affected by the factors described above.

In addition, customers in countries such as Angola and Nigeria increasingly are requiring the Company to accept payments in the local currencies of these countries.  These currencies do not currently trade actively in the world's foreign exchange markets.  

The Company also has certain manufacturing and services operations in Venezuela that contributed less than 1% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the first quarter of 2015.  The economy in Venezuela is highly inflationary.   As a result, the Company's operations in Venezuela are accounted for as having a U.S. dollar functional currency and the Company considers its earnings in Venezuela to be permanently reinvested.  Because of the continuing economic turmoil in Venezuela and further statutory changes which impact exchange rates companies are allowed to use by the Venezuelan government when converting bolivars into dollars, Cameron recognized a gain of $4 million relating to the impact on its bolivar-denominated net liabilities of a devaluation of the Venezuelan currency from the official exchange rate used in the past to a market-based rate during the first quarter of 2015.  The factors described above which led to the currency devaluation, along with recent civil unrest, create political and economic uncertainty with regard to the impact on the Company's continued operations in this country.  Net assets associated with the Company's operations in Venezuela at March 31, 2015 totaled approximately $59 million.

Increasingly, some of the Company's customers, particularly the national oil companies, have required a certain percentage, or an increased percentage, of local content in the products they buy directly or indirectly from the Company.  This requires the Company to add to or expand manufacturing capabilities in certain countries that are presently without the necessary infrastructure or human resources in place to conduct business in a manner as typically done by Cameron.  This increases the risk of untimely deliveries, cost overruns and defective products.

32

The Company's operations expose it to risks resulting from differing and/or increasing tax rates.

Economic conditions around the world have resulted in decreased tax revenues for many governments, which have led and could continue to lead to changes in tax laws in countries where the Company does business, including further changes in the United States.  Changes in tax laws could have a negative impact on the Company's future results.

The Company's operations require it to deal with a variety of cultures, as well as agents and other intermediaries, exposing it to anti-corruption compliance risks.

Doing business on a worldwide basis necessarily involves exposing the Company and its operations to risks inherent in complying with the laws and regulations of a number of different nations. These laws and regulations include various anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.

The Company does business and has operations in a number of developing countries that have relatively underdeveloped legal and regulatory systems compared to more developed countries. Several of these countries are generally perceived as presenting a higher than normal risk of corruption, or as having a culture in which requests for improper payments are not discouraged. Maintaining and administering an effective anti-bribery compliance program under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the United Kingdom's Bribery Act of 2010, and similar statutes of other nations, in these environments present greater challenges to the Company than is the case in other, more developed countries.

Additionally, the Company's business involves the use of agents and other intermediaries, such as customs clearance brokers, in these countries as well as others.  As a result, the risk to the Company of compliance violations is increased because actions taken by any of them when attempting to conduct business on our behalf could be imputed to us by law enforcement authorities.

As an example, various employees and former employees of the Company's primary customer in Brazil are being investigated currently over allegations of bribery and other acts of corruption.  This investigation, along with the current recessionary economic conditions in Brazil, is, at present, having a negative impact on future orders and growth prospects for the Company's operations in Brazil.  Sales to customers in Brazil accounted for approximately 4% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the first quarter of 2015, as compared to nearly 7% during the first quarter of 2014.

The Company is subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that expose the Company to potential liability and proposed new regulations that would restrict activities to which the Company currently provides equipment and services.

The Company's operations are subject to a variety of national and state, provincial and local laws and regulations, including laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company is required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with these laws and expects to continue to do so in the future. To date, the cost of complying with governmental regulation has not been material, but the fact that such laws or regulations are frequently changed makes it impossible for the Company to predict the cost or impact of such laws and regulations on the Company's future operations. The modification of existing laws or regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations imposing more stringent environmental restrictions could adversely affect the Company.

The Company provides equipment and services to companies employing hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" and could be adversely impacted by additional regulations of this enhanced recovery technique.  

Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the potential impact on underground water supplies of hydraulic fracturing which involves the pumping of water and certain chemicals under pressure into a well to break apart shale and other rock formations in order to increase the flow of oil and gas embedded in these formations.  On March 20, 2015, the U.S. Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a final rule regulating hydraulic fracturing activities on Federal and Indian lands. The final rule includes new well-bore integrity requirements, imposes standards for interim storage of recovered waste fluids, and requires notifications and waiting periods for key parts of the fracturing process, which could lead to delays in fracturing and/or drilling operations. The rule also mandates disclosure of the chemicals used in the process.

33

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule that would prohibit the disposal of unconventional oil and natural gas wastewater at publicly owned treatment works.

A number of U.S. states have also proposed regulations regarding disclosure of chemicals used in fracking operations or have temporarily suspended issuance of permits for such operations.  The State of New York implemented a statewide ban on hydraulic fracturing at the beginning of 2015 which limits natural gas production from a portion of the Marcellus Shale region.  Additionally, the United States EPA issued rules, which became effective in January 2015, designed to limit the release of volatile organic compounds, or pollutants, from natural gas wells that are hydraulically fractured.  Should these regulations, or additional regulations and bans by governments, continue to restrict or further curtail hydraulic fracturing activities, the Company's revenues and earnings could be negatively impacted.

Enacted and proposed climate protection regulations and legislation may impact the Company's operations or those of its customers.

The EPA has made a finding under the United States Clean Air Act that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare and the EPA has enacted regulations requiring monitoring and reporting by certain facilities and companies of greenhouse gas emissions.  In June 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court prohibited the EPA from being able to require limits on carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases from sources that would otherwise not need an air pollution permit.

Also, in June 2014, the EPA, acting under President Obama's Climate Action Plan, proposed its Clean Power Plan, which would set U.S. state-by-state guidelines for power plants to meet by 2030 to cut their carbon emissions by 30% nationwide from 2005 levels.  The guidelines are also intended to cut pollution, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide by more than 25% during the same period.  Under the Clean Power Plan, states are to develop plans to meet state-specific goals to reduce carbon pollution and submit those plans to the EPA by June 2016, with a later deadline provided under certain circumstances.  While these proposed rules may hasten the switch from coal to cleaner burning fuels such as natural gas, the overall long-term economic impact of the plan is uncertain at this point.

Carbon emission reporting and reduction programs have also expanded in recent years at the state, regional and national levels with certain countries having already implemented various types of cap-and-trade programs aimed at reducing carbon emissions from companies that currently emit greenhouse gases.

To the extent the Company's customers are subject to these or other similar proposed or newly enacted laws and regulations, the Company is exposed to risks that the additional costs by customers to comply with such laws and regulations could impact their ability or desire to continue to operate at current or anticipated levels in certain jurisdictions, which could negatively impact their demand for the Company's products and services.

To the extent Cameron becomes subject to any of these or other similar proposed or newly enacted laws and regulations, the Company expects that its efforts to monitor, report and comply with such laws and regulations, and any related taxes imposed on companies by such programs, will increase the Company's cost of doing business in certain jurisdictions, including the United States, and may require expenditures on a number of its facilities and possibly on modifications of certain of its products.

The Company could also be impacted by new laws and regulations establishing cap-and-trade and those that might favor the increased use of non-fossil fuels, including nuclear, wind, solar and bio-fuels or that are designed to increase energy efficiency.  If the proposed or newly executed laws have the effect of dampening demand for oil and gas production, they could lower spending by customers for the Company's products and services.

Environmental Remediation

The Company's worldwide operations are subject to domestic and international regulations with regard to air, soil and water quality as well as other environmental matters. The Company, through its Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management System and corporate third-party regulatory compliance audit program, believes it is in substantial compliance with these regulations. 

The Company is heir to a number of older manufacturing plants that conducted operations in accordance with the standards of the time, but which have since changed.  The Company has undertaken clean-up efforts at these sites and now conducts its business in accordance with today's standards.  The Company's clean-up efforts have yielded limited releases of liability from regulators in some instances, and have allowed sites with no current operations to be sold.  The Company conducts environmental due diligence prior to all new site acquisitions.  For further information, refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Environmental Sustainability

The Company has pursued environmental sustainability in a number of ways. Processes are monitored in an attempt to produce the least amount of waste. All of the waste disposal firms used by the Company are carefully selected in an attempt to prevent any future Superfund involvements. Actions are taken in an attempt to minimize the generation of hazardous wastes and to minimize air emissions. Recycling of process water is a common practice. Best management practices are used in an effort to prevent contamination of soil and ground water on the Company's sites.

Cameron has implemented a corporate HSE Management System that incorporates many of the principles of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.  The HSE Management System contains a set of corporate standards that are required to be implemented and verified by each business unit. Cameron has also implemented a corporate third-party regulatory compliance audit program to verify facility compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.  The compliance program employs or uses independent third-party auditors to audit facilities on a regular basis specific to country, region, and local legal requirements.  Audit reports are circulated to the senior management of the Company and to the appropriate business unit.  The compliance program requires corrective and preventative actions be taken by a facility to remedy all findings of non-compliance which are tracked on the corporate HSE data base.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates and changes in interest rates. A discussion of the Company's market risk exposure in financial instruments follows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates 

A large portion of the Company's operations consist of manufacturing and sales activities in foreign jurisdictions, principally in Europe, Canada, West Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, China and other countries in the Pacific Rim. As a result, the Company's financial performance may be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in these markets. Overall, for those locations where the Company is a net receiver of local non-U.S. dollar currencies, Cameron generally benefits from a weaker U.S. dollar with respect to those currencies. Alternatively, for those locations where the Company is a net payer of local non-U.S. dollar currencies, a weaker U.S. dollar with respect to those currencies will generally have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results. The impact on the Company's financial results of gains or losses arising from foreign currency denominated transactions, if material, have been described under "Results of Operations" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the periods shown.

In order to mitigate the effect of exchange rate changes, the Company will often structure sales contracts to provide for collections from customers in the currency in which the Company incurs its manufacturing costs. In certain instances, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific large anticipated receipts or disbursements in currencies for which the Company does not traditionally have fully offsetting local currency expenditures or receipts. The Company was party to a number of long-term foreign currency forward contracts at March 31, 2015. The purpose of the majority of these contracts was to hedge large anticipated non-functional currency cash flows on major subsea, drilling, valve or other equipment contracts involving the Company's United States operations and various wholly-owned international subsidiaries. Many of these contracts have been designated as and are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in the fair value of those contracts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the period such change occurs.  Certain other contracts, many of which are centrally managed, are intended to offset other foreign currency exposures but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, therefore, any change in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.  The Company expects to expand its use of such contracts in the future.

35

Capital Markets and Interest Rates 

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its variable-interest rate and commercial paper borrowings. Variable-rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes the Company's cash flows to variability due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt changes with changes in market interest rates.

The fair values of the 1.15% and 1.4% 3-year Senior Notes, the 3.6%, 3.7%, 4.0%, 4.5% and 6.375% 10-year Senior Notes and the 5.125%, 5.95% and 7.0% 30-year Senior Notes are principally dependent on prevailing interest rates.   The fair value of commercial paper and other short-term debt is expected to approximate its book value.

The Company has various other long-term debt instruments, but believes that the impact of changes in interest rates in the near term will not be material to these instruments.

Derivatives Activity

Total gross volume bought (sold) by notional currency and maturity date on open derivative contracts at March 31, 2015 was as follows:

	Notional Amount - Buy								Notional Amount - Sell
(amounts in millions)	2015		2016		2017		Total		2015			2016			Total
Foreign exchange forward contracts -
Notional currency in:
Euro		236		14		–		250		(51	)		–			(51	)
Malaysian ringgit		319		51		–		370		(47	)		–			(47	)
Norwegian krone		580		184		4		768		(63	)		(54	)		(117	)

Foreign exchange option contracts -
Notional currency in:
U.S. dollar		13		–		–		13		–			–			–

As described further in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the net fair value of the Company's outstanding derivatives was a $119 million liability to the Company at March 31, 2015 ($99 million liability at December 31, 2014).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company had approximately $1.3 billion of cash equivalents and $424 million of short-term investments at March 31, 2015.  Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.  Short-term investments have original maturities of more than three months but less than one year.  Certain of these investments are valued based upon quoted or estimated market prices which represent levels 1 and 2 market inputs.

36

The fair values of the Company's foreign exchange forward and option contracts were based on quoted exchange rates for the respective currencies applicable to similar instruments (level 2 observable market inputs).

The Company's international pension plans have assets available to fund future pension liabilities.  The majority of these assets are invested in debt and equity securities or mutual funds, which were valued based on quoted market prices for an individual asset (level 1 market inputs), or mutual fund unit values, which were based on the fair values of the individual securities that the fund had invested in (level 2 observable market inputs).  A certain portion of the assets were invested in insurance contracts, real estate and other investments, which were valued based on level 3 unobservable inputs.

The values of these assets are subject to change, based generally on changes in market conditions involving foreign exchange rates, interest rates and debt and equity security investment pricing.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee and the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no material changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been and continues to be named as a defendant in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. At March 31, 2015, the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a liability of approximately $18 million for such cases. The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that the potential exposure from these suits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The information set forth under the caption "Factors That May Affect Financial Condition and Future Results" on pages 28 – 34 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Goodwill impairment

The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with accounting rules on impairment of goodwill, which require that the Company estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units annually, or when impairment indicators exist, and compare such amounts to their respective carrying values to determine if an impairment of goodwill is required.  The estimated fair value of each reporting unit is primarily determined using discounted future expected cash flows (Level 3 unobservable inputs) consistent with the accounting guidance for fair-value measurements. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value models, including, but not limited to, estimates of future cash flows and the selection of a discount rate.  At March 31, 2015, the Company's reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes were OneSubsea, Process Systems, Surface, Drilling, Valves, and Measurement.

In connection with our annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2015, we tested the goodwill for each of our six reporting units. With the exception of the Process Systems reporting unit, no goodwill impairments were indicated.

With respect to the Process Systems reporting unit, our determination of fair value as of March 31, 2015 considered events that occurred in the first quarter, as well as our updated long-term outlook for this reporting unit. Those events included ongoing changes in the energy industry during the first quarter of 2015, a 42% reduction in North American rig count, numerous industry-wide deepwater project deferrals and idling of deepwater drilling rigs, as well as significant capital spending cuts announced by a number of oil and gas exploration companies since December 31, 2014.   Consistent with these industry-wide market changes, the Company also experienced the loss or indefinite deferral of several major project awards that we previously anticipated receiving.  Accordingly, when determining the fair value of the Process Systems reporting unit as of March 31, 2015, our projections considered these factors as well as the negative impact of the low commodity price environment on the long-term outlook for revenue growth and profitability in this business. Based on these considerations, we concluded the fair value (estimated using Level 3 unobservable inputs) of the Process Systems reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2015. We conducted a Step 2 analysis, which included a hypothetical purchase price allocation, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $517 million. As of March 31, 2015, following the impairment, the Process Systems reporting unit had $53 million of goodwill remaining.

Previously, goodwill totaling $40 million relating to the Company's Process Systems and Equipment (PSE) reporting unit was considered to be fully impaired during the annual goodwill impairment review conducted during the first quarter of 2014.

Gain from Venezuela currency devaluation

Because of the continuing economic turmoil in Venezuela and further statutory changes which impact exchange rates companies are allowed to use by the Venezuelan government when converting bolivars into dollars, Cameron recognized a gain of $4 million relating to the impact on its bolivar-denominated net liabilities of a devaluation of the Venezuelan currency from the official exchange rate used in the past to a market-based rate during the first quarter of 2015.

Basis of Presentation

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Cameron International Corporation (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  Those adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods, have been made.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. The Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto filed by the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of total contract profit or loss on certain long-term production contracts, estimated losses on accounts receivable, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, contingencies (including tax contingencies, estimated liabilities for litigation exposures and liquidated damages), estimated warranty costs, estimates related to pension accounting, estimates used to determine fair values in purchase accounting, estimates related to the fair value of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment and estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Contingencies

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Contingencies [Abstract]

Contingencies

Note 13: Contingencies

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies, including litigation, tax contingencies and environmental matters.

Litigation

The Company has been and continues to be named as a defendant in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. At March 31, 2015, the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a liability of approximately $18 million for such cases. The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that the potential exposure from these suits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Tax and Other Contingencies

The Company has legal entities in nearly 50 countries. As a result, the Company is subject to various tax filing requirements in these countries. The Company prepares its tax filings in a manner which it believes is consistent with such filing requirements. However, the tax laws and regulations to which the Company is subject often require interpretation and/or the application of judgment. Although the Company believes the tax liabilities for periods ending on or before the balance sheet date have been adequately provided for in the financial statements, to the extent a taxing authority believes the Company has not prepared its tax filings in accordance with the authority's interpretation of the tax laws and regulations, the Company could be exposed to additional taxes.

The Company has been assessed customs duties and penalties by the government of Brazil totaling a U.S. dollar equivalent of almost $40 million at March 31, 2015, including interest accrued at local country rates, following a customs audit for the years 2003-2010.  The Company filed an administrative appeal and believes a majority of this assessment will ultimately be proven to be incorrect because of numerous errors in the assessment, and because the government has not provided appropriate supporting documentation for the assessment.  As a result, the Company currently expects no material adverse impact on its results of operations or cash flows as a result of the ultimate resolution of this matter.  No amounts have been accrued for this assessment as of March 31, 2015 as no loss is currently determinable nor considered probable.

Environmental Matters

The Company is currently identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for one site designated for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or similar state law. The Osborne site is a landfill into which a predecessor of the Company's former Reciprocating Compression operation in Grove City, Pennsylvania deposited waste, where remediation was completed in 2011 and remaining costs relate to ongoing ground water monitoring. The Company is also a party with de minimis exposure at other CERCLA sites.

The Company is engaged in site cleanup under the Voluntary Cleanup Plan of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") at a former manufacturing location in Houston, Texas and had been engaged in one at a former manufacturing location in Missouri City, Texas.  With respect to the Missouri City site, the Company received a Certificate of Completion from the TCEQ on February 17, 2015.  With respect to the Houston site, in 2001 the Company discovered that contaminated underground water had migrated under an adjacent residential area. Pursuant to applicable state regulations, the Company notified the affected homeowners. Concerns over the impact on property values of the underground water contamination and its public disclosure led to a number of claims by homeowners.  The Company has settled these claims, primarily as a result of the settlement of a class action lawsuit, and is obligated to reimburse approximately 190 homeowners for any diminution in value of their property due to contamination concerns at the time of the property's sale. Test results of monitoring wells on the southeastern border of the plume indicate that the plume is moving in a new direction, likely as a result of a ground water drainage system completed as part of an interstate highway improvement project.  As a result, the Company notified 39 additional homeowners, and may provide notice to additional homeowners, whose property is adjacent to the class area that their property may be affected. The Company continues to monitor the situation to determine whether additional remedial measures would be appropriate.  The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that any potential exposure from existing agreements as well as any possible new claims that may be filed with respect to this underground water contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of approximately $7 million for these matters as of March 31, 2015. 

Additionally, the Company has ceased operations at a number of other sites which had been active for many years and which may have yet undiscovered contamination. The Company does not believe, based upon information currently available, that there are any material environmental liabilities existing at these locations. At March 31, 2015, the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of nearly $3 million for these environmental matters.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 14: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, non-qualified benefit plan assets, trade payables, derivative instruments and debt instruments. Due to the short-term nature of each, the book values of trade receivables, trade payables and commercial paper are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Following is a summary of the Company's financial instruments which have been valued at fair value in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	Fair Value Based on Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Fair Value Based on Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)						Total

Fair values for financial instruments utilizing level 2 inputs were determined from information obtained from third party pricing sources, broker quotes or calculations involving the use of market indices.

At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt (based on Level 1 quoted market rates) was approximately $2.9 billion as compared to the $2.7 billion face value of the debt recorded, net of original issue discounts, in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

Derivative Contracts

In order to mitigate the effect of exchange rate changes, the Company will often attempt to structure sales contracts to provide for collections from customers in the currency in which the Company incurs its manufacturing costs. In certain instances, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific large anticipated receipts or disbursements in currencies for which the Company does not have fully offsetting local currency expenditures or receipts. The Company was party to a number of long-term foreign currency forward contracts at March 31, 2015. The purpose of the majority of these contracts was to hedge large anticipated non-functional currency cash flows on major subsea, drilling, valve or other equipment projects. Many of these contracts have been designated as and are accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of those contracts recorded in accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (loss) in the period such change occurs.  Certain other contracts, many of which are centrally managed, are intended to offset other foreign currency exposures but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, therefore, any change in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.  The Company determines the fair value of its outstanding foreign currency forward contracts based on quoted exchange rates for the respective currencies applicable to similar instruments.

The Company manages its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and employs from time to time interest rate swaps as a tool to achieve that goal.

Total gross volume bought (sold) by notional currency and maturity date on open derivative contracts at March 31, 2015 was as follows:

	Notional Amount - Buy								Notional Amount - Sell
(amounts in millions)	2015		2016		2017		Total		2015			2016			Total

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Note 15: Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The core principle of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.  Companies will need to:

• identify performance obligations in each contract,

• estimate the amount of variable consideration to include the transaction price, and

• allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

ASU 2014-09 was initially scheduled to be effective for Cameron no earlier than the first quarter of 2017, however, on April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date by one year.  It is expected the proposed rule to defer the effective date will be finalized during the second quarter of 2015.  The Company is beginning the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on its business and addressing whether it will select either the full retrospective or the modified retrospective implementation method upon the expected adoption date of January 1, 2018.
