NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (“Schlumberger”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2019 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2019 audited financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 22, 2020.
On August 31, 2020, Schlumberger and Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. (“Liberty”) entered into an agreement for the contribution to Liberty of OneStim®, Schlumberger’s onshore hydraulic fracturing business in the United States and Canada, including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating, and Permian frac sand businesses, in exchange for a 37% equity interest in Liberty. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020 and is subject to Liberty stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. OneStim represented approximately 5% of Schlumberger’s consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

First quarter 2020:
|
•
|
Geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil to the global market occurred at the same time that demand weakened due to the worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a collapse in oil prices during March 2020. As a result, Schlumberger’s market capitalization deteriorated significantly compared to the end of 2019. Schlumberger’s stock price reached a low during the first quarter of 2020 not seen since 1995. Additionally, the Philadelphia Oil Services Sector index, which is comprised of companies involved in the oil services sector, reached an all-time low. As a result of these facts, Schlumberger determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of certain of its reporting units were less than their carrying value. Therefore, Schlumberger performed an interim goodwill impairment test.
|
Schlumberger had 11 reporting units with goodwill balances aggregating $16.0 billion. Schlumberger determined that the fair value of four of its reporting units, representing $4.5 billion of the goodwill, was substantially in excess of their carrying value. Schlumberger performed a detailed quantitative impairment assessment of the remaining seven reporting units, which represented $11.5 billion of goodwill. As a result of this assessment, Schlumberger concluded that the goodwill associated with each of these seven reporting units was impaired, resulting in a $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge. This charge primarily relates to goodwill associated with the Drilling and Production segments.
Following the $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge relating to these seven reporting units, six of these reporting units had a remaining goodwill balance. These six reporting units had goodwill balances which ranged between $0.2 billion and $5.0 billion and aggregated to $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2020.
Schlumberger used the income approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, but also considered the market approach to validate the results. The income approach estimates the fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using Schlumberger’s estimate of the discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation date. The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the discounted cash flow results. The market approach involves significant judgement involved in the selection of the appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the income approach include the estimated future net annual cash flows for each reporting unit and the discount rate. Schlumberger selected the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and estimated growth rates. Schlumberger’s estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. However, given the inherent uncertainty in determining the assumptions underlying a discounted cash flow analysis, particularly in the current volatile market, actual results may differ from those used in Schlumberger’s valuations which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.
The discount rates utilized to value Schlumberger’s reporting units were between 12.0% and 13.5%, depending on the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting unit as well as the size of the reporting unit. Assuming all other assumptions and inputs used in each of the respective discounted cash flow analysis were held constant, a 50-basis point increase or decrease in the discount rate assumptions would have changed the fair value of the seven reporting units, on average, by less than 5%.
|
•
|
The negative market indicators described above were triggering events that indicated that certain of Schlumberger’s long-lived intangible and tangible assets may have been impaired. Recoverability testing indicated that certain long-lived assets were impaired. The estimated fair value of these assets was determined to be below their carrying value. As a result, Schlumberger recorded the following impairment charges:
|
|
-
|
$3.3 billion relating to intangible assets, of which $2.2 billion relates to Schlumberger’s 2016 acquisition of Cameron International Corporation and $1.1 billion relates to Schlumberger’s 2010 acquisition of Smith International, Inc. Following this impairment charge, the carrying value of the impaired intangible assets was approximately $0.9 billion.
|
|
-
|
$1.3 billion relating to the carrying value of certain Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) projects in North America.
|
|
-
|
$0.6 billion of fixed assets associated with the pressure pumping business in North America.
|
|
•
|
$202 million of severance.
|
10
|
•
|
$79 million of other restructuring charges, primarily consisting of the impairment of an equity method investment that was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
|
|
•
|
$164 million relating to a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets.
|
Second quarter 2020:
|
•
|
As previously noted, late in the first quarter of 2020 geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil to the global market occurred at the same time as demand weakened due to the worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a collapse in oil prices. As a result, the second quarter of 2020 was the most challenging quarter in decades. Schlumberger responded to these market conditions by taking actions to restructure its business and rationalize its asset base during the second quarter of 2020. These actions included reducing headcount, closing facilities and exiting business lines in certain countries. Additionally, due to the resulting activity decline, Schlumberger had assets that would no longer be utilized. As a consequence of these circumstances and decisions, Schlumberger recorded the following restructuring and asset impairment charges:
|
|
-
|
$1.021 billion of severance associated with reducing its workforce by more than 21,000 employees.
|
|
-
|
$730 million relating to the carrying value of certain APS projects in Latin America.
|
|
-
|
$666 million of fixed asset impairments primarily relating to equipment that would no longer be utilized and facilities it exited.
|
|
-
|
$603 million write-down of the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value.
|
|
-
|
$311 million write-down of right-of-use assets under operating leases associated with leased facilities Schlumberger exited and excess equipment.
|
|
-
|
$205 million of costs associated with exiting certain activities.
|
|
-
|
$156 million impairment of certain multiclient seismic data.
|
|
-
|
$60 million of other costs, including a $42 million increase in the allowance for the doubtful accounts.
|
|
•
|
During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repurchased certain Senior Notes (see Note 9 – Long-term Debt), which resulted in a $40 million charge.
|
|
•
|
As a consequence of the workforce reductions described above, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment gain of $69 million relating to its US postretirement medical plan. See Note 13 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans for further details.
|
The fair value of the impaired intangible assets, fixed assets, APS investments, right-of-use assets and multiclient seismic data was estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows that the underlying assets are expected to generate. Such estimates included unobservable inputs that required significant judgement.
Third quarter 2020:
|
•
|
During the third quarter of 2020 Schlumberger recorded the following restructuring charges:
|
|
-
|
$254 million of facility exit charges as Schlumberger continued to rationalize its real estate footprint relating to both leased and owned facilities.
|
|
-
|
$63 million of severance.
|
|
-
|
$33 million of other charges.
|
As market conditions evolve and Schlumberger continues to develop its strategy to deal with such conditions, it may result in further restructuring and/or impairment charges in future periods.

During August 2019, Schlumberger’s market capitalization deteriorated significantly compared to the end of the second quarter of 2019. Schlumberger’s stock price reached a low not seen since 2005. Additionally, the Philadelphia Oil Services Sector Index, which is comprised of companies involved in the oil services sector, reached an 18-year low.
|
As a result of these facts, Schlumberger determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of certain of its reporting units were less than their carrying value. Therefore, Schlumberger performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of August 31, 2019.
As of August 31, 2019, Schlumberger had 17 reporting units with goodwill balances aggregating $25.0 billion. Schlumberger determined that the fair value of seven of its reporting units, representing approximately $13.8 billion of the goodwill, was substantially in excess of their carrying value. Schlumberger performed a detailed quantitative impairment assessment of the remaining 10 reporting units, which represented $11.2 billion of goodwill. As a result of this assessment, Schlumberger concluded that the goodwill associated with nine of the 10 reporting units was impaired, resulting in an $8.8 billion goodwill impairment charge. This charge primarily relates to Schlumberger’s Drilling and Cameron segments.
Following the $8.8 billion goodwill impairment charge relating to these nine reporting units, only three had a remaining goodwill balance. These three reporting units had goodwill balances which ranged between $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion and aggregated to $1.5 billion as of August 31, 2019. The tenth reporting unit, which was determined not to be impaired, had $0.9 billion of goodwill.
Schlumberger primarily used the income approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, but also considered the market approach to validate the results. The income approach estimates the fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using Schlumberger’s estimate of the discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation date. The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the discounted cash flow results. The market approach involves significant judgement involved in the selection of the appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the income approach include the estimated future net annual cash flows for each reporting unit and the discount rate. Schlumberger selected the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and estimated growth rates. Schlumberger’s estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. However, given the inherent uncertainty in determining the assumptions underlying a discounted cash flow analysis, actual results may differ from those used in Schlumberger’s valuations which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.
The discount rates utilized to value Schlumberger’s reporting units were between 12.5% and 14.0%, depending on the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting unit. Assuming all other assumptions and inputs used in each of the respective discounted cash flow analysis were held constant, a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate assumption would have increased the goodwill impairment charge by approximately $0.3 billion. Conversely, assuming all other assumptions and inputs used in each of the respective discounted cash flow analysis were held constant, a 50 basis point decrease in the discount rate assumption would have decreased the goodwill impairment charge by approximately $0.4 billion.

|
The negative market indicators described above, combined with deteriorating market conditions in North America, as well as the results of the previously mentioned fair value determinations of certain of Schlumberger’s reporting units and the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer (as described below), were all triggering events that indicated that certain of Schlumberger’s long-lived tangible and intangible assets may have been impaired.
|
Recoverability testing, which was performed as of August 31, 2019, indicated that long-lived assets associated with certain asset groups were impaired. The estimated fair value of these asset groups was determined to be below their carrying value. As a result, Schlumberger recorded the following impairment and related charges:
|
-
|
$1.085 billion of intangible assets, of which $842 million related to Schlumberger’s 2010 acquisition of Smith International, Inc. The remaining $243 million primarily related to other acquisitions in North America.
|
|
-
|
$1.575 billion of charges relating to Schlumberger’s pressure pumping business in North America. This amount consisted of $1.324 billion of pressure pumping equipment and related assets; $98 million of right-of-use assets under operating leases; $121 million relating to a supply contract; $19 million of inventory; and $13 million of severance.
|
|
-
|
$310 million of charges primarily relating to other businesses in North America, consisting of $230 million of fixed asset impairments, $70 million of inventory write-downs and $10 million of severance.
|
|
•
|
As a result of the ongoing economic challenges in Argentina, Schlumberger recorded $127 million of charges during the third quarter of 2019. This consisted of $72 million of asset impairments, a $26 million devaluation charge and $29 million of severance.
|
|
•
|
Schlumberger also recorded the following impairment and restructuring charges:
|
|
-
|
$231 million relating to certain equity method investments that were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
|
|
-
|
$294 million impairment relating to the carrying value of certain smaller APS projects.
|
|
-
|
$242 million of restructuring charges consisting of: $62 million of severance; $57 million relating to the acceleration of stock-based compensation expense associated with certain individuals; $49 million of business divestiture costs; $29 million relating to the repurchase of certain Senior Notes (see Note 9 - Long-term Debt); and $45 million of other provisions.
|
The fair value of certain of these impaired assets was estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows that the underlying assets were expected to generate. Such estimates included unobservable inputs that required significant judgment.
There were no charges or credits recorded during the first six months of 2019.

The estimated fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $17.2 billion and $15.3 billion, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger entered into a €1.54 billion committed revolving credit facility. This one-year facility can be extended at Schlumberger’s option for up to an additional year. At September 30, 2020 no amounts had been drawn under this facility.
At September 30, 2020, Schlumberger had separate committed credit facility agreements aggregating $8.06 billion with commercial banks, of which $6.98 billion was available and unused. These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $1.81 billion matures in April 2021, $2.75 billion matures in February 2023, $2.0 billion matures in February 2025 and $1.5 billion matures in July 2025 . Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by facility.
Borrowings under the commercial paper programs at September 30, 2020 were $1.08 billion, all of which was classified in Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2019, borrowings under the commercial paper programs were $2.22 billion, all of which was classified in Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €400 million of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €400 million of 0.50% Notes due 2031.
During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026, $900 million of 2.65% Senior Notes due 2030 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032.
17
During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repurchased all $600 million of its 4.20% Senior Notes due 2021 and $935 million of its 3.30% Senior Notes due 2021. Schlumberger paid a premium of approximately $40 million in connection with these repurchases. This premium was classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Loss. See Note 2 – Charges and Credits.
During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger established a €5.0 billion Guaranteed Euro Medium Term Note program that provides for the issuance of various types of debt instruments such as fixed or floating rate notes in euro, US dollar or other currencies. At September 30, 2020, Schlumberger had not issued any debt under this program.
During the third quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued $500 million of 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025 and $350 million of 2.65% Senior Notes due 2030.
During the third quarter of 2019, Schlumberger issued €500 million of 0.00% Notes due 2024, €500 million of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €500 million of 0.50% Notes due 2031.
In September 2019, Schlumberger repurchased $783 million of its 3.00% Senior Notes due 2020 and $321 million of its 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022. Schlumberger paid a premium of $29 million in connection with these repurchases. This premium was classified as Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Loss. (See Note 2 - Charges and Credits.)
In April 2019, Schlumberger completed a debt exchange offer, pursuant to which it issued $1.500 billion in principal of 3.90% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “New Notes”) in exchange for $401 million of 3.00% Senior Notes due 2020, $234 million of 3.63% Senior Notes due 2022 and $817 million of 4.00% Senior Notes due 2025. In connection with the exchange of principal, Schlumberger paid a premium of $48 million, substantially all of which was in the form of New Notes. This premium is being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the New Notes.
Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries, including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment SA and Schlumberger Finance Canada Ltd., both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger.
10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Schlumberger is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments. Schlumberger does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio. Schlumberger maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio, to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates.
At September 30, 2020, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating $16.6 billion and variable rate debt aggregating $1.2 billion.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As a multinational company, Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses are incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease).
Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
18
Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses cross-currency swaps to provide a hedge against these cash flow risks.
During 2017, a Canadian-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $1.1 billion of US-dollar denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $1.1 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion of 2.20% Senior Notes due 2020 and its $0.6 billion of 2.65% Senior Notes due 2022. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the US-dollar denominated notes to Canadian-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.97% and 2.52%, respectively.
During 2019, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €1.5 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.00% Notes due 2024, €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.29%, 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €0.8 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.85 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and €0.85 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the swapped portion of the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.45%, respectively. Schlumberger hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations on the remaining €0.15 billion of Euro-denominated debt issued by using foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
During the third quarter of 2020, a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $0.5 billion of US dollar denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $0.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the US dollar notes to Canadian dollar denominated debt with a fixed annual interest rate of 1.73%.
Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Loss as are changes in fair value of the hedged item.
At September 30, 2020, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $10.9 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $6.7 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.
At September 30, 2020, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative $218 million loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss relating to changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps.

11. Contingencies
Schlumberger is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

Revenue in excess of billings related to contracts where revenue is recognized over time was $0.2 billion at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Such amounts are included within Receivables less allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Due to the nature of its business, Schlumberger does not have significant backlog. Total backlog was $2.7 billion at September 30, 2020, of which approximately 65% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months.

Due to the actions taken by Schlumberger to reduce its global workforce during 2020, Schlumberger experienced a significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of its employees in its US postretirement medical plan. Accordingly, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment gain of $69 million during the second quarter of 2020 relating to this plan. The curtailment gain includes recognition of the decrease in the benefit obligation as well as a portion of the previously unrecognized prior service credit, reflecting the reduction in expected years of future service. As a result of the curtailment, Schlumberger performed a remeasurement of the plan, which had an immaterial impact. This gain was classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Loss. See Note 2 – Charges and Credits.
