Notes to Revenue and Operating Profit Before Tax by Region

The company believes that operating profit is useful to investors because it is a consistent measure of the underlying results of the company's business. Furthermore, management uses operating profit internally as a measure of the performance of the company's operations. Income from continuing operations before tax is reconciled to operating profit before tax in the table below. Reconciliation of GAAP and operating profits for historical periods can be found on the company's website at http://www.bakerhughes.com/investor.
