Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | 11. Related Party Transactions Related Party Transactions In connection with the Separation, the Company and NOV entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, and Transition Service Agreement each dated May 29, 2014. The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains the key provisions related to the separation from NOV and the distribution of our common stock to NOV shareholders. The Separation and Distribution Agreement separated the assets related to the Company’s business from NOV, along with liabilities related to such assets, which now reside with the Company. In general, the Company agrees to indemnify NOV from liabilities arising from the Company’s business and assets, and NOV agrees to indemnify the Company from liabilities arising from NOV’s business and assets (that remained with NOV), except as otherwise provided in such agreement. The Tax Matters Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of each party with respect to taxes and tax benefits, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits, restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the Spin-Off and other tax matters. The Employee Matters Agreement governs the Company and NOV’s compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to current and former employees of each company, and generally allocates liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation and benefit plans and programs. Such agreement also provides the adjustment mechanisms to be applied as a result of the Spin-Off to convert outstanding NOV equity awards held by Company employees to Company awards. The Transition Service Agreement provides for transitional services in the areas of information technology, tax, accounting, finance and employee benefits and are initially short-term in nature. The charges under these transition service agreements will be at cost-based rates. For the period from May 31 through June 30, 2014, the net amount of less than $1 million incurred by the Company under this agreement was recognized in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of income. No amounts were reflected in the consolidated statements of income prior to May 31, 2014, as the Transition Service Agreement was not effective prior to the Separation. Additionally, the Company and NOV entered into a Master Distribution Agreement and a Master Supply Agreement, effective as of May 29, 2014. Under the Master Distributor Agreement, we will act as a distributor of certain NOV products. Under the Master Supply Agreement, we will supply products and provide solutions, including supply chain management solutions, to NOV. Allocation of General Corporate Expenses For the periods prior to the Separation, the consolidated financial statements include expense allocations for certain functions provided by NOV as well as other NOV employees not solely dedicated to NOW, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, shared services, employee benefits and incentives, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated to NOW on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of operating profit, headcount or other measures. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, NOW was allocated $3 million and $2 million, respectively, which is included within selling, general and administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, NOW was allocated $6 million and $4 million, respectively, of expenses incurred by NOV which is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The expense allocations were determined on a basis that was considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. The allocations may not reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone public company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. NOV Net Investment Prior to the Separation, net contributions from (distributions to) NOV invested equity were included within NOV net investment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows. The components of the change in NOV net investment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in millions):
