Copies of the presentation and accompanying transcript are furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference. In accordance with General Instructions B.2. of Form 8-K, the information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

This presentation and transcript (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this presentation and transcript) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a “forward-looking statement”).

There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2017 and those set forth from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The documents are available through the Company’s website at: www.investors.bhge.com or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system at: www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that are included in the presentation, certain information included therein could be considered non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G). Any non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, or superior to, operating income (loss) cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements, including the notes thereto, and filings with the SEC.
