Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exh
The Second-Quarter 2009 Press Release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and the Second-Quarter 2009 Results - Supplemental Information furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, were posted on the Schlumberger internet web site (www.slb.com/ir) on July 24, 2009.
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that are included in the attached Second-Quarter 2009 Press Release and Supplemental Information, these documents also include the following non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934):
• Net Debt: Net Debt represents gross debt less cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments, held to maturity. Management believes that Net Debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger's indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.
• Income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger, excluding charges: Management believes that the exclusion of charges enables it to evaluate more effectively Schlumberger's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by the excluded items.
• Diluted earnings-per-share from continuing operations, excluding charges:
Management believes that the exclusion of charges enables it to evaluate
more effectively Schlumberger's operations period over period and to
identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by the excluded
items.
The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, total debt, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in Schlumberger's financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
