Review of Operations – Fourth Quarter 2010

Energy Production Systems

Energy Production Systems’ fourth quarter revenue was $875.1 million, including subsea systems revenue of $689 million. Surface wellhead revenue was up 11 percent from the third quarter of 2010 and was at the highest level since 2008.

Energy Production Systems’ operating profit of $105.5 million decreased 20 percent from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower volume in subsea systems.

Energy Production Systems’ inbound orders for the fourth quarter were $1.3 billion, including subsea systems orders of $1.1 billion. Subsea systems finished the year with a record total of $4.1 billion in orders. Backlog for Energy Production Systems was $3.9 billion, including $3.6 billion in subsea systems at the end of the fourth quarter.

Energy Processing Systems

Energy Processing Systems’ fourth quarter revenue of $222.9 million was 26 percent higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase came mainly from the fluid control business, which had record revenue in the quarter.

Energy Processing Systems had record operating profit of $43.5 million in the fourth quarter, up 111 percent from the prior-year quarter. The increase was mainly driven by higher volume in the fluid control business resulting from strong North American pressure pumping activity.

Energy Processing Systems’ inbound orders were a record $255.8 million in the fourth quarter led by strong fluid control and measurement solutions orders. Backlog for the segment finished the quarter at $296.0 million.
