ITEM 1. BUSINESS ($ in millions)

Overview

Dresser-Rand Group Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed in October 2004. The common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DRC.” Unless the context otherwise indicates, as used in this Form 10-K, (i) the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,”  “Dresser-Rand” and similar terms refer to Dresser-Rand Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) the term “Ingersoll Rand” refers to Ingersoll-Rand plc (NYSE: IR) and its predecessors.

On September 21, 2014, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Siemens Energy, Inc. (“Siemens”) whereby Siemens will acquire us (the “Merger”).  The Merger received stockholder approval on November 20, 2014.  The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions including, among others, customary regulatory approvals.  It is possible that factors outside the control of the Company or Siemens could delay the completion of the merger, or prevent it from being completed at all.  Additionally, on February 13, 2015, the Company was notified that the European Commission is initiating a phase II review of the Merger.

At the time the Merger becomes effective, each outstanding share of Dresser-Rand common stock (excluding any shares held by Siemens, its subsidiaries, Dresser-Rand and dissenting shares in accordance with Delaware law), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of (i) $83.00 per share plus (ii) $0.55 per share on the first of each month until the date of closing beginning on March 1, 2015.

Additional information regarding the Merger and the related terms and conditions is set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 23, 2014, as well as Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules of this Form 10-K.

Dresser-Rand is among the largest global suppliers of custom-engineered rotating equipment solutions for long-life, critical applications in the oil, gas, chemical, petrochemical, process, power generation, military and other industries worldwide. In addition to oil and gas, our equipment and service solutions are used in the broader energy infrastructure markets, including environmental solutions and distributed power generation.

Our products and services are widely used in oil and gas applications that include hydrogen recycle, make-up, wet gas and other applications for the refining industry; cracked gas, propylene and ethylene compression for petrochemical facilities; ammonia syngas, refrigeration, and carbon dioxide compression for fertilizer production; a number of compression duties for chemical plants; gas gathering, export, lift and re-injection of natural gas or carbon dioxide (“CO₂”) to meet regulatory requirements or for enhanced oil recovery in the upstream market; gas processing, main refrigeration compression and a variety of other duties required in the production of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”); gas processing duties, storage and pipeline transmission compression for the midstream market; synthetic fuels; and steam or gas turbine mechanical drives or power generation packages for floating production, storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessels and offshore platforms, as well as for a variety of compression and applications in various segments of the oil and gas market. We are also a supplier of diesel, gas and dual fuel engines that provides customized energy solutions across worldwide energy infrastructure markets based upon reciprocating engine power systems technologies.

Our custom-engineered products used in the environmental markets utilize renewable energy sources, reduce carbon footprint, recover energy and/or increase energy efficiency. These products include, among others, compression technologies for carbon capture and sequestration (“CCS”); hot gas turbo-expanders for energy recovery in refineries and certain chemical facilities; co- and tri-generation combined heat and power (“CHP”) packages for institutional and other clients; and a large number of steam turbine applications to generate power using steam produced by recovering exhaust heat from the main engines in ships, recovering heat from mining and metals production facilities and exhaust heat recovery from gas turbines in on-shore and off-shore sites. We also have experience in the design, construction and development of distributed power generation and cogeneration plants and other energy solutions. Other biomass and biogas applications for our steam turbine product line include gasification of municipal solid waste or incineration of wood, palm oil, sugar or pulp and paper residues to generate power. Our equipment is used for compressed air energy storage (“CAES”) for utility sized power generation. A CAES plant makes use of our classes of axial compressors, centrifugal compressors, gas expanders, controls and rotating equipment system integration capabilities. These applications are environmentally-friendly and provide unique response features for grid management. Other general industrial markets served include, among others, steel, mining and pulp and paper. We operate globally with manufacturing facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), France, United Kingdom (“UK”), Germany, Spain, Norway, Brazil and India.

In addition to our products and services, we provide complete, turnkey compression and power generation solutions to our clients in the oil, gas and environmental markets we serve.  These solutions typically incorporate one or more of our products and services into the compression or power generation facility, which may include process equipment, such as

3

coolers, vessels, gas dehydration systems, process and utility piping and valves, process instrumentation, transformers and switch gears, and facility controls, as well as civil works and structures.  We manage the complete project, including engineering, project controls, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning and start-up of the facility.

We provide a wide array of products and services to our worldwide client base in over 150 countries from our global locations in 18 U.S. states and 33 countries through our 72 sales offices, 51 service and support centers, including seven engineering and research and development centers, and 14 manufacturing locations. Our clients include, among others, ADNOC, BP, Bumi Armada, Chevron, CNOOC, ConocoPhillips, Dow Chemical Company, ExxonMobil, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Marathon, MODEC, ONGC, PDVSA, Pemex, Petrobras, PetroChina, Petronas, Repsol, Royal Dutch Shell, SBM, Saudi Aramco, Statoil, Talisman and Total.

Our solutions-based service offering to our clients combines our industry-leading technology, extensive worldwide service center network, deep product expertise, project management capabilities,  a culture of safety (which we believe to be industry-leading) and continuous improvement. This approach drives our growth as we offer integrated service solutions that help our clients lower the life cycle costs of their rotating equipment, minimize adverse environmental impact and maximize returns on their production and processing equipment. We believe our business model and alliance-based approach built on alliance and frame agreements align us with our clients who choose service providers that can help optimize performance over the entire life cycle of their equipment. Our alliance/frame agreement program encompasses the provision of new units and/or parts and services. We offer our clients a dedicated team, advanced business tools, a streamlined engineering and procurement process, and a life cycle approach to manufacturing, operating and maintaining their equipment, whether originally manufactured by us or by a third party. In many of our alliances, we are a preferred supplier of equipment and aftermarket parts and services to a client. Our alliances and frame agreements enable us to:

· lower clients’ total cost of ownership and improve equipment performance;

· lower both our clients’ and our transaction costs;

· develop a broad, continuing business-to-business relationship with our clients that often results in a substantial increase in the level of activity with those clients; and

· provide access to our entire organization, which enhances communications.

The markets in which we operate are large and fragmented. We estimate that in 2014, the worldwide aggregate annual value of new unit sales of the classes of equipment we manufacture was approximately $21 billion for critical applications in the oil, gas, chemical, petrochemical, process, power, military, environmental solutions and other industries worldwide. The aftermarket parts and services needs of the installed base of turbo products, reciprocating compressors and steam turbines (both in-house and outsourced) was estimated at approximately $10 billion. In addition, we have aftermarket repair capability for gas turbines, which includes all power and non-power generation applications, with an estimated market size of approximately $7 billion.

We believe that, in the long-term, we are well positioned to benefit from a variety of trends that should continue to drive demand for our products and services, including:

· the increased worldwide demand for energy resulting from population growth, economic growth and a rising middle class;

· the maturation of production fields worldwide, which requires increased use of compression equipment to offset depletion rates and extend the life of the fields as well as to bring new fields into production;

· the increase in demand for natural gas, which is driving growth in gas production, processing, storage and transmission infrastructure;

· regulatory and environmental initiatives, including clean fuel legislation, flaring regulations and stricter emissions controls worldwide;

· the interest in and government support for renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and wave, as well as environmentally focused solutions such as CHP, biomass, CAES and CCS;

· the aging installed base of equipment, which is increasing demand for aftermarket parts and services, revamps and upgrades; and

· the increased outsourcing of equipment maintenance and operations.

Business Strategy

Substantially allof our revenues were generated from energy infrastructure (oil, gas and environmental solutions). Additionally, 50% of our total combined revenues were generated by our new units segment and 50% by our aftermarket parts and services segment. We intend to continue to focus on the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas markets, as well as the emerging alternative energy and environmental services markets with our rotating equipment products, services and solutions. Thus, we expect to capitalize on the expected long-term growth in equipment and services investment in these energy infrastructure markets.

4

Our new units segment, which is tied to energy infrastructure investments, is cyclical by nature. Our flexible manufacturing model, which fundamentally is our ability to flex our manufacturing capacity using our supply chain, minimizes the impact of cycles on our profitability. Our flexible manufacturing model allows us to accomplish the same amount of manufacturing in less space, by using our suppliers to flex our capacity up or down to address our manufacturing requirements. In periods of slowing demand, we reduce the amount of work outsourced and/or subcontracted to third-party suppliers, which enables us to reduce the effect on our operating margins.

Another important aspect of our business model is that our aftermarket parts and services segment is much less sensitive to business cycles than our new units segment. Our equipment is typically mission-critical to the operating assets of our end user clients. Those assets run continuously and, therefore, generally require parts and servicing regardless of changes in economic activity, new equipment cycles or commodity prices. In 2014, this segment of our business represented approximately 73% of the Company’s income from operations, excluding unallocated net expenses.

Key Strategic Objectives

With respect to our long-term business strategy, certain of our key strategic objectives are described below.

Increase Sales of Aftermarket Parts and Services to the Existing Installed Base. The substantial portion of the aftermarket parts and services needs of the existing installed base of equipment that we currently do not or only partially service represents a significant opportunity for growth. We believe the market has a general preference for original equipment manufacturers’ (“OEMs”) parts and services. We are continuing to implement globally a proactive approach to aftermarket parts and services sales that capitalizes on our knowledge of the installed base of our own and our competitors’ equipment. We have assembled a significant amount of data on both Dresser-Rand’s and our competitors’ installed base of equipment. We have developed predictive models that help us identify and be proactive in securing aftermarket parts and services opportunities. Through our lean operating system, we have instilled a culture of operational and visual excellence.

Expand Aftermarket Parts and Services Business to Non-Dresser-Rand Equipment in our Class. We believe the aftermarket parts and services market for non-Dresser-Rand equipment in our class represents a significant growth opportunity that we continue to pursue on a systematic basis. As a result of the knowledge and expertise derived from our long history and experience servicing the largest installed base in the industry, combined with our extensive and on-going investment in technology, we have a proven process of applying our technology and processes to improve the operating efficiency and performance of our competitors’ supplied equipment. With the largest global network of fully capable service centers and field service support for our class of equipment, we are often in a position to provide quick response to clients and to offer local service. We believe these, along with our world class field service safety performance, are important service differentiators for our clients. By using intelligence gathered on the installed base of our competitors’ equipment, we intend to capitalize on our knowledge, our broad network of service centers, our leading technology and our existing relationships with most major industry participants to grow our aftermarket parts and services solutions for such non-Dresser-Rand equipment. We are able to identify technology upgrades that improve the performance of our clients’ assets and to proactively suggest upgrade and revamp projects that clients may not have considered.

Grow Alliances. As a result of the need to improve their competitiveness in a global economy, oil and gas companies are frequently consolidating their supplier relationships and seeking alliances with suppliers, shifting from purchasing units and services on an individual transactional basis to choosing long-term service and technology providers that can help them optimize asset performance over the entire service life of their equipment. We continue to see a high level of interest among our clients in seeking alliances and/or frame agreements with us, and we have entered into agreements with more than 50of our clients. We plan to leverage our market and technology leadership, global presence, and comprehensive range of products and services to continue to take advantage of this trend by pursuing new client alliances as well as strengthening our existing ones. We currently are the only alliance partner for compressors with Marathon. We are a preferred supplier to other clients, including BP, Chemtex, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Kinder Morgan, LyondellBasell, Pemex, Petrobras, Phillips 66, Praxair, Repsol, Saudi Aramco, Statoil,TransCanada and Valero.

Expand Our Performance-Based Long-Term Service Contracts. We are growing our participation in the outsourced services market with our energy asset management and our long-term service contracts, which are designed to offer clients significant value through improved equipment performance, decreased life cycle cost and higher availability levels versus the traditional services and products approach. These contracts generally represent multiyear, recurring revenue opportunities for us that typically include a performance-based element to the service provided. We offer these contracts for most of the markets that we serve.

Introduce New and Innovative Products and Technologies. We believe we are an industry leader in introducing new, value-added technology. Product innovation has historically provided, and we believe will continue to provide, significant

5

opportunities to increase revenues in the long-term from both new units sales and upgrades to the installed base of equipment manufactured by us and other OEMs. Many of our products utilize innovative technology that lowers operating costs and increases reliability and performance. Examples of such technology offerings include the DATUM® compressor platform, dry-gas seals, hydrodynamic and magnetic bearings and the ‘only-in-class’ integrated compression system (“ICS”) which incorporates a new generation of liquid / gas separation technology (a rotary separator) inside the compressor casing located directly before the first stage of compression. We have introduced a complete line of remote-monitoring and control instrumentation that offers significant performance benefits to clients and enhances our operations and maintenance services offering. Further discussion about innovative products and technologies can be found below under New Product Development. We plan to continue developing innovative products, including new compressor platforms, which could further open up new markets to us. Under our Guascor® engine product line, we have developed, and continue to develop, gas engines that operate on a wide range of fuels from natural gas (industrial and domestic quality natural gas) to different types of methane based gases, such as flare gas (associated gas), a variety of bio-gas types (landfill, sewage and biomethanization) and propane, syngas and dual fuel engines (diesel and natural gas).

Improve Profitability. We continually seek to improve our financial and operating performance through operational excellence initiatives, cost manufacturing footprint optimization and productivity improvements. Process efficiencies, cycle time reductions and cost improvements are being driven by greater worldwide collaboration across Dresser-Rand locations. We have Process Innovation teams removing waste using advanced lean manufacturing methodologies such as value stream mapping. A large portion of our finished products comes from purchased materials and we are extending our process innovation and lean methodologies to remove waste from our supply chain. We are focused on continuing to improve our cost position across our business, and we continue to believe there is substantial opportunity to further increase our productivity and reduce costs.

Selectively Pursue Acquisitions. We intend to continue our disciplined pursuit of acquisition opportunities that fit our business strategy. We will focus on acquisitions within the energy infrastructure sector that add new products or technologies to our portfolio, provide us with access to new markets or enhance our current product offering or service capabilities. Given our size and the large number of small companies in our industry and related industries, we believe many opportunities for strategic acquisitions remain.

Products and Services

We design, manufacture and market highly engineered rotating equipment and provide services to the worldwide oil, gas, petrochemical, power generation, environmental solutions and industrial process industries. We have two reportable segments based on the engineering and production processes, and the products and services provided by each segment, as follows:

1)New units are predominately highly engineered solutions to new requests from clients. New units also include standardized equipment such as engines and single stage steam turbines.

Turbo Products. We are a leading supplier of turbo machinery for the energy infrastructure markets worldwide. Turbo products sales represented 69.4%, 74.8% and 58.1% of our total new unit revenues for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Centrifugal compressors utilize turbo machinery technology that employs a series of graduated impellers to increase pressure dynamically. Generally, these centrifugal compressors are used to move a variety of gases through gas processing, refining, and petrochemical facilities; gather gas in oil and gas fields; export gas from main gathering or processing facilities; move gas in pipelines from production to processing, distribution and/or consumption centers; re-inject natural gases into petroleum fields to maintain or increase reservoir pressure and aid production or increase petroleum recovery; or re-inject CO₂ to meet regulatory requirements or enhance oil recovery. Applications for our turbo products include gas gathering, lift, export and injection; CO₂ compression for enhanced oil recovery; storage and transmission; synthetic fuels; ethylene and fertilizer production; refineries and chemical production; CCS and CAES.

Our proprietary DATUM® product line incorporates enhanced engineering features that provide significant operating and maintenance benefits for our clients. The DATUM® product line is a comprehensive line of radial and axial split centrifugal compressors, with modular and scalable construction, for flows up to 700,000 cubic feet per minute (“cfm”) (330 m3/s), and discharge pressures that can range from near atmospheric to 15,000 pounds per square inch gauge (1,000 barg). In some applications, a single DATUM® compressor can develop greater pressure ratios per frame size than a comparable existing competitor product offering, resulting in the capability to handle the same pressure ratio with fewer compressor casings. The DATUM® product line also offers improved rotor stability characteristics. DATUM® compressors are available in 15 frame sizes. In addition to the DATUM® centrifugal compressor line, other turbo products we manufacture include a line of axial flow compressors, legacy centrifugal compressors, warm-gas expanders and hot-gas expanders.

In addition, we offer a variety of gas and power turbines covering a power range from approximately 1.5 megawatts (“MW”) to more than 50 MW, which support driver needs for various centrifugal compressor product lines, as well as for power generation applications. We also offer control systems for our centrifugal compressors that include our proprietary EnvisionTM Condition Monitoring Software.

Reciprocating Compressors. We are a leading supplier of reciprocating compressors, offering products ranging from medium to high-speed separable units driven by engines or electric motors, to large, slow speed motor driven process reciprocating compressors. Reciprocating compressor product sales represented 13.3%, 11.1% and 18.0% of our total new unit revenues for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Reciprocating compressors use a traditional piston and cylinder engine design to increase gas pressure. Typically, reciprocating compressors are used in lower volume/higher pressure ratio applications, and are complementary to our DATUM® compressor product line. We offer 11

7

models of process reciprocating compressors, with power capability up to 45,000 horsepower (33.6 MW), and pressures ranging from vacuum to 60,000 psig (4,140 barg). We offer seven models of medium- to high-speed reciprocating compressors, with power ratings over 11,000 horsepower (8.2 MW). Applications for our reciprocating compressors include upstream production (gas lift, boil-off/residue gas, export, gathering, processing, LNG and natural gas liquids (“NGL”); midstream services (gas transport, storage, fuel gas and CO₂ injection) and downstream processing (gas-to-liquids (GTL), hydrogen (H₂) production, various other refining applications, cool gas, methanol and ethylene, ammonia (NH₃), nitric acid and urea). We also offer control systems for our reciprocating compressors.

Steam Turbines. We are a leading supplier of standard and engineered mechanical drive steam turbines and turbine generator sets. Steam turbine product sales represented 13.7%, 10.1% and 17.7% of our total new unit revenues for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Steam turbines use steam from power plant or process facilities or renewable or waste energy sources, and expand it through nozzles and fixed and rotating vanes, converting the steam energy into mechanical energy of rotation. We are one of the few remaining North American manufacturers of standard and engineered-to-order multi-stage steam turbines. Our steam turbine models cover a power range from a few kilowatts up to 85MW, are available for high inlet steam pressure and temperature conditions, with or without induction and/or extraction sections and in condensing or back-pressure designs. These units are used primarily to drive pumps, fans, blowers, generators and compressors. Our steam turbines are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas (upstream mechanical drives in auxiliary systems; power generation in FPSO vessels; mechanical drive and power generation in refining and petrochemical applications); chemicals; biomass; CHP, pulp and paper; metals; industrial power production and utilities; sugar and palm oil. We are the sole supplier to the United States Navy of steam turbines for aircraft carrier propulsion and other ship services. We also offer steam turbine protection valves that are part of the overall rotating equipment protection system and include trip, trip throttle and non-return valves.

Engines. We are a supplier of diesel, gas and dual fuel internal combustion reciprocating engines. Engine sales represented approximately 3.6%, 3.7% and 4.8% of our total new unit revenues for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our engines cover a power range of up to 1.5 MW and are used in 1) industrial applications and power generation, 2) marine propulsion and auxiliary generation and 3) environmental solutions, CHP and bioenergy (waste water treatment plant, landfill and biogas generation).

New Product Development

We believe clients will continue to choose their key suppliers based upon capability to custom engineer, manufacture and deliver cost-effective, reliable, high-performance products, and in the shortest cycle time as they seek to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership possible.  We also believe the capability to provide timely, locally based service and support is very important to our clients given the complexity of highly engineered mission-critical machinery and the production associated with it. New product and technology development is a fundamental part of our value proposition and we believe that we are one of the industry leaders in introducing new, value-added products and technologies. Our investment in research and development also includes a continued commitment to attract and retain a globally based staff of innovative technical experts who are recognized within the industry, while building a partner network that includes several leading universities around the world.

We have delivered numerous products and technologies that contribute to aftermarket parts and services growth, as well as design and process improvements that increase profitability. We continue to invest in the advancement of core technologies that include improving our DATUM® compressor and steam turbine product line efficiency; reciprocating compressor power and rod load ratings as well as new technologies that will ensure our long-term industry leadership and maintain our reputation for high quality, reliable solutions. Our continuing investment in the development of supersonic compression provides an opportunity to commercialize a breakthrough technology that could significantly reduce the footprint, weight and total cost of ownership of Dresser-Rand compression solutions.

We are also making incremental research and development investments that support our growth strategies for the environmental markets that include solutions such as waste-to-energy, combined heat and power and ocean wave energy, as well as our proven energy storage solutions for alternative energy power generation via Compressed Air Energy Storage (“SMARTCAES™”). Echogen Power Systems, LLC (“Echogen”), in which we have invested, is commercializing power generation systems that harness waste heat for power and cooling applications.

Another key new product is the DATUM® ICS which uses high-efficiency DATUM® centrifugal compressor technology driven by a high-speed, close-coupled oil-free electric motor, including integrated gas-liquid separation technology, packaged with process coolers in a single module. This solution provides a complete compression system that can be applied to upstream, midstream and downstream markets and is part of our technology roadmap to subsea compression. This ‘only-in-class’ gas-liquid separation and compression technology can also be applied to and used in compressors

8

driven by steam or gas turbines, or conventional electric motors. We believe our ICS based joint research and development program with Statoil (NYSE: STO) will lead to an improved value proposition for the ‘only-in-class’ ICS, and will help accelerate the broad market acceptance of the technology for both topside and subsea applications.

We have the capability to provide CAES projects to meet specific grid scale requirements.  In 2013, we received an order for a SMARTCAES™ compressed air energy storage system and also entered into a strategic alliance with Gaeletric for the development of European CAES projects. In September 2014, Dresser-Rand was one of four companies that jointly proposed a project that would bring large amounts of clean electricity to the Los Angeles, California, area by 2023. The project would require construction of one the U.S.’s largest wind farms in Wyoming, one of the world’s biggest energy storage facilities in Utah and a 525-mile electric transmission line connecting the two sites.

Our MOSTM separable compressor currently has the highest-in-class rated rod load and horsepower per throw capabilities, widest-in-class speed range, and most-in-class stroke capability. The MOSTM product line targets the upstream oil and gas markets and is part of our newly developed LNGoTM small-scale LNG production technology.

Our newly developed LNGoTMplant, is a small-scale, distributed skid-mounted modular, and mobile LNG production technology that serves a new market opportunity, which we expect to grow with our legacy products, as well as our newly introduced MOSTM reciprocating compressor and our Guascor® engine line. The control system is provided by our Enginuity business unit.  We have the capability to provide liquefaction machines for LNG projects for small-scale, distributed LNG plants (quantities from 5,000 gallons per day to 30,000 gallons per day).

Our VECTRA® product line of power turbines, combined with the General Electric LM2500®(a registered trademark of General Electric Company) family of gas generators, provides a high speed gas turbine solution that is available for new equipment and as a retrofit for legacy turbine packages. The advantage of our VECTRA® product line is a light, compact and fully modular design with high efficiency and quick change-out that increases operating availability and lowers operating costs.

Revamp and Upgrade Opportunities

In addition to supplying new units, there are significant opportunities for us to supply engineered revamp and upgrade services to the installed base of rotating equipment.

Revamp services involve significant improvement to the aerodynamic performance of rotating machinery by incorporating newer technology to enhance equipment efficiency, durability or capacity. For example, steam turbine revamps involve modifying the original steam flow path components to match new operating specifications, such as requirements for power, speed and steam condition.

Upgrade services are offered on all of our lines of rotating equipment, either in conjunction with revamps or on a stand-alone basis. Upgrades are offered to provide the latest applicable technology components for the equipment to improve durability, reliability, and/or availability. Typical upgrades include replacement of components such as governors, bearings, seals, pistons and electronic control devices and retrofitting of existing lubrication, sealing and control systems with newer technology.

Our proactive efforts to educate our clients on improved revamp technologies to our DATUM® line provide significant growth potential with attractive margins. We have the support systems in place, including our technology platform and service facilities and our cost effective Corporate Product Configurator (“CPC”) platform, to prepare accurate proposals that will allow us to take advantage of the growth potential in this market. In addition, we believe our alliance relationships will allow us to secure revamp opportunities.

Aftermarket Parts and Services

We continue to believe that the aftermarket parts and services segment provides us with long-term growth opportunities. Aftermarket parts and services are generally less sensitive to business cycles than the new units segment, although revenues and bookings tend to be higher in the second half of the year. With a typical operating life of 30 years or more, rotating equipment requires substantial aftermarket parts and services over its operating life. Parts and services activities realize higher margins than new unit sales. Additionally, the cumulative revenues from these aftermarket activities often exceed the initial purchase price of the unit. Our aftermarket parts and services business offers a range of services designed to enable clients to maximize their return on assets by optimizing the performance of their mission-critical rotating equipment. We offer a broad range of aftermarket parts and services, including: replacement parts, field service turnaround, service and repair, operation and maintenance contracts, rotor/spare parts storage, condition monitoring, controls retrofit, site/reliability audits, remote area energy solutions, equipment repair and re-rates, equipment installation, applied technology, long-term

9

service agreements, special coatings/welding, product training, turnkey installation/project management and energy asset management.

We believe we have the largest installed base of the classes of equipment we manufacture and the largest associated aftermarket parts and services business in the industry. Many of the units we manufacture are unique and highly engineered, and servicing these units requires knowledge of their design and performance characteristics. We estimate that we currently provide approximately 58% of the supplier-provided aftermarket parts and services needs of our own manufactured turbo products, reciprocating compressors and steam turbines and less than 5% of the supplier provided aftermarket parts and services needs of these same classes of equipment of other manufacturers. We focus on a global offering of technologically advanced aftermarket products and services, and, as a result, our aftermarket activities tend to be concentrated on the provision of higher value-added parts and upgrades and the delivery of sophisticated operating, repair and overhaul services. Small independent companies tend to focus on local markets and have a more basic aftermarket offering.

A significant portion of our installed base is serviced in-house by our clients. However, we believe there is an increasing trend for clients to outsource this activity, driven by declining in-house expertise, cost efficiency and the superior service levels and operating performance offered by OEM service providers. We believe the steady demand for aftermarket parts and services from our installed base represents a stable source of recurring revenues and cash flow. Moreover, with our value-based solutions strategy, we have a demonstrated track record of growth in this segment as a result of our focus on expanding our service offerings into new areas, including servicing other OEMs’ installed base of equipment, developing new technology upgrades, increasing our penetration of higher value-added services to our own installed base and extending our served markets through acquisitions in contiguous markets, such as gas and diesel engine repair, gas turbine repair, steam turbine trip and throttle valves, foundation repair and emission control technologies for integral gas engines.

Because equipment in our industry typically has a multi-decade operating life, we believe aftermarket parts and services capability is a key element in both new unit purchasing decisions and sales of service contracts. Given the critical role played by the equipment we sell, clients place a great deal of importance on a supplier’s ability to provide rapid, comprehensive service, and we believe that the aftermarket parts and services business represents a significant long-term growth opportunity. We believe important factors for our clients include a broad product range, servicing capability, the ability to provide technology upgrades, local presence and rapid response time. We provide our solutions to our clients through a proprietary network of 51 service and support centers, including seven engineering and research and development centers in 33 countries that employ over 1,500 service center and field service personnel, which service our own and other OEMs’ turbo and reciprocating compressors and steam and gas turbines. We believe our coverage area of service centers servicing both turbo and reciprocating compressors and steam turbines is approximately 50% larger than that of our next closest competitor.

Sales and Marketing

We market our services and products worldwide through our established sales presence in 33 countries. In addition, in certain countries in which we do business, we sell our products and services through sales representatives and distributors. Our sales force is comprised of more than 700 direct sales/service personnel and a global network of approximately 180 independent representatives and distributors, all of whom sell our products and provide service and aftermarket support to our installed base locally in over 150 countries. We are able to deliver significant value to our clients through the use of our CPC platform, which permits us to interactively configure certain engineered solutions in real time at their location or ours in days rather than months. We believe this capability to be unique in the industry.

Manufacturing and Engineering Design

Our products and services are used primarily in supplying and servicing mission critical rotating equipment for the energy infrastructure market worldwide, where increased environmental regulations test our innovative technologies and design capabilities. Our technologies support our clients’ competitiveness by improving process efficiencies and reducing emissions. We have taken aggressive steps to address the challenge of increasing environmental regulation, including creating a strategic business unit to focus on our growth in environmental markets. Our lean manufacturing and quality efforts are critical to reducing waste in production, transportation, inventory and material use. We also use a “flexible manufacturing” strategy, which allows us to accomplish the same amount of manufacturing in less space, by using our suppliers to flex our capacity up or down as needed to meet our manufacturing requirements.

We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality products and services, and are continuously striving for improved quality and efficiency of both our products and our processes. Our worldwide process innovation team works to improve quality, on-time delivery, cycle time and profitability. The team uses a number of continuous improvement tools such as Six Sigma, lean methodologies, value analysis/value engineering and total quality management. The team teaches

10

employees how to apply value-creation and change management methodologies to their areas of responsibility, and to take ownership of process improvement. The lean philosophy and quality improvement principles are continually being encouraged and expanded throughout our Company in a structured fashion using a variety of tools. Since mid-2008, approximately 21,400 courses and workshops have been completed, and over3,800 employees have completed at least one on-line lean course. From management to machine tool operators, our employees have an understanding of these quality and lean practices. Employees apply this knowledge in their daily activities to continuously improve the efficiency of our operations and service centers, thus providing our clients with faster and improved configured solutions, shorter response times, and improved cycle times.

Clients

Our global client base consists of most major independent oil and gas producers and distributors worldwide, national oil and gas companies, major energy companies, independent refiners and exploration and production companies, multinational engineering, procurement and construction companies (“EPC”), petrochemical companies, the U.S. government and other businesses operating in certain process industries. Our clients include, among others, ADNOC, BP, Bumi Armada, Chevron, CNOOC, ConocoPhillips, Dow Chemical Company, ExxonMobil, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Marathon, MODEC, ONGC, PDVSA, Pemex, Petrobras, PetroChina, Petronas, Repsol, Royal Dutch Shell, SBM, Saudi Aramco, Statoil, Talisman and Total. In 2014, 2013 and 2012, no one customer comprised more than 10% of either segment or consolidated net revenues.

We believe our business model aligns us with our clients who are shifting from purchasing isolated units and services on an individual transactional basis to choosing service providers that can help optimize performance over the entire life cycle of their equipment. We are responding to this demand through an alliance-based approach. An alliance can encompass the provision of new units and/or parts and services, whereby we offer our clients a dedicated, experienced team, streamlined engineering and procurement processes, and a life cycle approach to selecting, procuring, installing, bringing on-line, operating and maintaining their equipment. Pursuant to the terms of an alliance agreement, we may become the client’s exclusive or preferred supplier of rotating equipment and aftermarket parts and services, which gives us an advantage in obtaining new business from that client. Our client alliance agreements include frame agreements, preferred supplier agreements and blanket purchasing agreements. These alliance agreements are broad form agreements for supply of products and/or services and are generally terminable upon reasonable notice without penalty by either party.

Competition

We encounter competition in all areas of our business. We compete against products manufactured by competitors globally. The principal methods of competition in these markets relate to price, product performance and quality, product technology and application experience, client service, product lead times, global reach, brand reputation, breadth of product line and quality of aftermarket service and support. We believe the significant capital required to construct new manufacturing facilities, the production volumes required to maintain low unit costs, the need to secure a broad range of reliable raw material and intermediate material supplies, the significant technical knowledge required to develop high-performance products, applications and processes and the need to develop close, integrated relationships with clients are barriers to entry for potential new market entrants. Some of our existing competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do.

Over the last 25 years, there has been significant consolidation of our major competitors in each of our principal product lines. Our larger competitors in the new unit segment of the turbo-machinery industry include GE Oil & Gas, Solar Turbines, Inc., MAN Diesel & Turbo, Siemens, Elliott Company and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; in the reciprocating compressor industry include GE Oil & Gas, Burckhardt Compression, Neuman & Esser Group, Ariel Corp., Howden Thomassen Compressors BV and Mitsui & Co., Ltd.; in the steam turbine industry include Siemens, Elliott Company, GE Oil & Gas, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Shin Nippon Machinery Co. Ltd.; and in the engine industry include GE/Jenbacher and Waukesha, Caterpillar and Cummins.

In our aftermarket parts and services segment, we compete with our major competitors as discussed above, small independent local providers and our clients’ in-house service providers. However, we believe there is an increasing trend for clients to outsource services, driven by declining in-house expertise, cost efficiency and the superior service levels and operating performance offered by OEMs.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses were $27.9, $38.8 and $30.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain development expenses are incurred in connection with specific orders and are not shown as research and development expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Income, but instead are included in cost of sales. We

11

have also acquired technologies through strategic acquisitions such as Synchrony andin August 2014 through the asset purchase of Ramgen Power Systems, LLC (“Ramgen”) or through our investments in Echogen and through our agreements with ES&P and Expansion Energy LLC. We invest in research and development each year in order to maintain our product and services leadership positions. We have developed many technology and product breakthroughs in our markets, and manufacture some of the most advanced products available in many of our product lines. We believe we have significant opportunities for growth by developing new services and products that offer our clients greater performance, significant cost savings and lower environmental impacts. We are also actively involved in research and development programs designed to improve existing products and manufacturing methods.

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 7,900 employees worldwide, with approximately 52% located in the U.S. Approximately 30% of our employees in the U.S. are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Additionally, approximately 47% of our employees outside of the U.S. belong to industry or national labor unions.

Painted Post, New York (“N.Y.”)

In November 2007, Local 313 of IUE-CWA, the union that represents certain employees at the Company’s Painted Post facility (the “IUE”), made an offer to have its striking members return to work under the terms of the previously expired union agreement. The Company rejected that offer and locked out these represented employees. Approximately one week later, after reaching an impasse in negotiations, the Company exercised its right to implement the terms of its last contract offer, ended the lockout, and the employees represented by the IUE agreed to return to work under the implemented terms. Subsequently, the IUE filed several unfair labor practice (“ULP”) charges against the Company with Region 3 of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), asserting multiple allegations arising from the protracted labor dispute, its termination, contract negotiations and related matters.

Region 3 of the NLRB decided to proceed to complaint on only one-third of the ULP allegations asserted by the IUE, while the remaining claims were dismissed. Notably, the NLRB found that many of the critical aspects of the Company’s negotiations with the IUE were handled appropriately, including the NLRB’s findings that the union’s strike was not an unfair labor practice strike and the Company’s declaration of impasse and its unilateral implementation of its last offer were lawful. The Company, therefore, continued to operate under a more contemporary and competitive implemented contract offer while contract negotiations with the IUE continued in 2008 and 2009. In November 2009, a collective bargaining agreement between the IUE and the Company was ratified, which agreement was renegotiated in 2013 and extended to March 2016.

The claims that proceeded to complaint before the NLRB included the Company’s handling of the one week lockout, the negotiation of the recall process used to return employees to the facility after reaching impasse and lifting the lockout, and the termination of two employees who engaged in misconduct on the picket line during the strike. The trial of this matter took place before a NLRB Administrative Law Judge (the “ALJ”) in Elmira and Painted Post, New York, during the summer of 2009. On January 29, 2010, the ALJ issued his decision in which he found in favor of the union on some issues and upheld the Company’s position on others. The Company timely appealed the ALJ’s rulings against the Company to the NLRB in Washington, D.C. On August 6, 2012, the NLRB affirmed the ALJ’s rulings. The Company timely appealed the matter to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which stayed the proceedings in July 2013 pending a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on a constitutional issue in an unrelated case, that is also in controversy in the Company’s appeal. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutional matter was decided in June 2014. That decision held that the NLRB that ruled on this and other cases was invalidly appointed by the President and the matters decided by that NLRB were also set aside as invalid. As a result, this matter has been returned to the current and validly appointed NLRB to be reheard in its entirety.  The Company continues to believe it complied with the law and that it will ultimately prevail with respect to these ULP allegations. The litigation process, including further appeals, could reasonably take one to two years to resolve with finality.

Other Labor Relations Matters

Our operations in the following locations have individuals under collective bargaining agreements and/or are unionized: Olean, Painted Post and Wellsville, N.Y.; Burlington, Iowa; Le Havre, France; Peterborough, UK; Naroda, India; Oberhausen and Bielefeld, Germany; Zumaia and Minano, Spain; and Kongsberg, Norway. Further, certain of our employees in Brazil are subject to regional collective agreements. A collective bargaining agreement will expire at our Wellsville, N.Y. facility in August 2015. In addition, we have an agreement with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America whereby we hire skilled trade workers on a contract-by-contract basis in many parts of the U.S. Our contract with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America can be terminated by either party with 90 days prior written notice. Although we believe that our relations with our represented employees are good, we cannot assure that we will be successful in negotiating new collective bargaining agreements, that such negotiations will not result in

12

significant increases in cost of labor or that a breakdown in such negotiations will not result in the disruption of our operations.

Environmental and Government Regulation

Manufacturers, such as our Company, are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions to the air, discharges to land, surface water and subsurface water, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials and the remediation of environmental pollution relating to such companies’ properties and operations (past and present). Costs and expenses under such environmental laws incidental to ongoing operations are generally included within operating budgets. Potential costs and expenses may also be incurred in connection with the repair or upgrade of facilities to meet existing or new requirements under environmental laws. In many instances, the ultimate costs under environmental laws and the time period during which such costs are likely to be incurred are difficult to predict. We do not believe that our liabilities in connection with compliance issues will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  

Various federal, state and local laws and regulations impose liability on current or previous real property owners, lessees or operators for the cost of investigating, cleaning up or removing contamination caused by hazardous or toxic substances at the property. In addition, such laws impose liability for such costs on persons who disposed of, or arranged for the disposal of, hazardous substances at third-party sites. Such liability may be imposed without regard to the legality of the original actions and without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances, and such liability may be joint and several with other parties. If the liability is joint and several, we could be responsible for payment of the full amount of the liability, whether or not any other responsible party is also liable.

We have sent wastes from our operations to various third-party waste disposal sites. From time to time we receive notices from representatives of governmental agencies and private parties contending that we are potentially liable for a portion of the investigation and remediation costs and damages at such third-party sites. We do not believe that our liabilities in connection with such third-party sites, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us.

The equity purchase agreement entered into in connection with the October 2004 acquisition of the Company from Ingersoll Rand by First Reserve Corporation provides that, with the exception of non-Superfund off-site liabilities and non-asbestos environmental tort cases, which had a three-year time limit for a claim to be filed, Ingersoll Rand will remain responsible without time limit for certain specified known environmental liabilities that existed as of the October 29, 2004, closing date. Each of these liabilities has been placed on the Environmental Remediation and Compliance Schedule to the equity purchase agreement (the “Final Schedule”). We are responsible for all environmental liabilities that were not identified prior to the closing date and placed on the Final Schedule, although we may have claims against others.

Pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, Ingersoll Rand is responsible for all response actions associated with the contamination matters placed on the Final Schedule and must perform such response actions diligently. However, to the extent contamination at leased properties was caused by a third party and to the extent contamination at owned properties resulted from the migration of releases caused by a third party, Ingersoll Rand is only required to conduct response actions after being ordered to do so by a governmental authority.

As part of its due diligence procedures leading up to the acquisition of Grupo Guascor, S.L. (“Guascor”), the Company identified a potential environmental liability associated with subsurface contamination at a facility in Spain. The Company is undertaking environmental site investigation work to characterize the subsurface contamination and develop the plans for the appropriate remedial actions to be taken. The Company does not expect that the environmental costs associated with the site investigation work and any future remediation actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company, and such costs are subject to indemnification by the sellers of Guascor under the share purchase agreement entered into between the Company, Guascor and the stockholders of Guascor, which provides that the sellers of Guascor will remain responsible for Guascor’s environmental liabilities that existed as of the May 4, 2011, closing date, and for which claims are asserted prior to May 4, 2014.

There is significant regulatory activity underway at both the federal and state levels related to climate change. It is expected that international agreements, climate legislation and promulgation of greenhouse gas regulation will continue. Ultimately, caps on carbon emissions in the U.S. may be established and the cost of regulation is not likely to be distributed uniformly as the energy sector is expected to incur disproportionate cost. Greenhouse gas regulation and reduction for companies in the power and energy sector will have a pronounced impact on key issues of business strategy, such as production economics, cost competitiveness, investment decisions and value of assets.

The timing and magnitude of these changes are uncertain. We have positioned and continue to position ourselves to provide solutions for our clients. Today, we produce equipment for oil production, refining, petrochemical, LNG, pipelines

13

and an array of other applications that, if this legislation were to be enacted or regulations promulgated, could slow investment by the clients that use our equipment. However, our products have applications regardless of the energy source; for instance, our high-speed rotating equipment can be used for the sequestration of CO₂ as coal-fired power plants seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in connection with the use of steam from plants now burning biomass to create electricity, as a means to create the bulk energy storage needed to more economically utilize wind and solar energy, in solar-thermal applications or, conceivably, to harness power from waves. While potential climate change regulation presents business risk, it also presents business opportunities for us.

In Italy, we operate several photovoltaic facilities and provide energy to the grid. The tariff structures are regulated by the Italian government and may change from time to time.

We provide energy generating services in certain remote locations in Brazil with tariffs reflecting the remote nature of the locations and demand levels under the “Luz para Todos” (Light For Everyone) program initiated by the Brazilian government. In the future, the Brazilian grid may reach certain locations where we provide energy, we may not be successful in securing contract awards, or the government may reduce the tariffs upon renewal of the contracts or change the regulations.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protections, license agreements, and employee and third-party nondisclosure / confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property. We sell our products and provide services under a number of trademarks and service marks, which we believe are widely recognized in the industry.

Except for our Company’s name and principal trademark “Dresser-Rand,” no single patent, trademark or trade name is currently material to our business as a whole. We anticipate that we will apply for additional patents in the future as we develop new products and processes. Any issued patents that cover our proprietary technology may not provide us with substantial protection or be commercially beneficial to us. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability. If we are unable to protect our patented technologies or confidential information, our competitors could commercialize our technologies. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. In addition, we may also face claims that our products, services, or operations infringe patents or misappropriate other intellectual property rights of others.

With respect to proprietary know-how, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our proprietary technology is difficult and the steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of such technology. The disclosure or misappropriation of our trade secrets and other proprietary information could harm our ability to protect our rights and our competitive position.

Our Company’s name and principal trademark is a combination of the names of our founder companies, Dresser Industries, Inc. and Ingersoll Rand. We have acquired rights to use the “Rand” portion of our principal mark from Ingersoll Rand, and the rights to use the “Dresser” portion of our name from Dresser, Inc., the successor of Dresser Industries, Inc. and now a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Company. If we lose the right to use either the “Dresser” or “Rand” portion of our name, our ability to maintain our brand identity could be negatively affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS ($ in millions)

Merger-Related Risk Factors

Failure to consummate the Merger, or a delay in consummating the Merger, could negatively impact the market price of our common stock and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including the receipt of specified regulatory approvals; the absence of any newly enacted law, injunction or order prohibiting the Merger; the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (generally subject to a material adverse effect qualification); and compliance with the covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement in all material respects.  It is possible that factors outside the control of the Company or Siemens could delay the completion of the merger, or prevent it from being completed at all.  Additionally, on February 13, 2015, the Company was notified that the European Commission is initiating a phase II review of the Merger.

If the Merger is not consummated, our ongoing business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected and the market price of our common stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be consummated. If the consummation of the Merger is delayed, including by a delay in receipt of necessary governmental approvals, our business, financial condition and results of operations may also be adversely affected.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.

Until the Merger closes or the Merger Agreement is terminated, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities and must generally operate our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice (subject to certain exceptions). These restrictions may prevent us from exploring and pursing certain business opportunities, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations should the Merger not be completed.

Stockholder litigation could prevent or delay the closing of the Merger or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations.

We may incur additional costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed Merger. Such litigation may adversely affect our ability to complete the Merger, and could also have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The pending Merger may negatively impact our ability to recruit and retain key employees.

Employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the completion of the Merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the Company.  If, despite our retention and recruiting efforts, key employees depart or fail to accept employment with us because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company, our business operations and financial results may be adversely affected.

Additional Risk Factors

Economic recessions could adversely affect our business.

Prolonged periods of adverse global economic conditions could decrease demand for oil and gas, which in turn could result in lower prices for oil and gas. Such decreased demand and lower prices can result in lower demand for our new equipment and, to a lesser extent, aftermarket parts and services and, therefore, could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

15

Volatility and disruption of the credit markets may negatively impact us.

We intend to finance our operations and initiatives with existing cash, cash from operations, and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (“Amended Credit Facility”) and other financing alternatives, if necessary. Adverse national and international economic conditions may affect our ability to fully draw upon our Amended Credit Facility and we may not be able to obtain financing at competitive pricing and terms. Further, while we believe our present liquidity is adequate for our current plans, deterioration in the credit markets or prolonged tightening of credit availability could adversely affect the ability of our clients to pay us or the ability of our suppliers to meet our needs or do so competitively, which could affect our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Our operating results and cash flows could be harmed because of industry downturns.

Conditions in the oil and gas industry, which affect the majority of our revenue, are highly cyclical and subject to factors beyond our control. The businesses of most of our clients, particularly oil, gas and petrochemical companies, are, to varying degrees, cyclical and historically have experienced periodic downturns. Profitability in those industries is highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles and volatile commodity prices, and our clients in those industries historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during industry downturns. These industry downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing capacity and subsequent accelerated erosion of average selling prices. Demand for our new units and, to a lesser extent, aftermarket parts and services is driven by a combination of long-term and cyclical trends, including increased outsourcing of services, maturing oil and gas fields, the development of technologies enabling the production of oil and gas from shale reservoirs, the aging of the worldwide installed base of equipment, gas market growth and the construction of new energy infrastructure, and regulatory factors. In addition, the growth of new unit sales is generally linked to the growth of oil and gas consumption in markets in which we operate. Moreover, new unit bookings can be highly variable due to volatile market conditions, subjectivity clients exercise in placing orders and timing of large orders.

There have been periods of volatility in the price of oil and gas, including the most recent decline in the latter part of 2014.Our aftermarket segment is generally a steady business and has typically been resilient through cycles.However, we believe our aftermarket bookings in the September through November period in 2014 were adversely impacted by the recent and precipitous drop in oil prices.  In the new units segment, bookings have also been impacted by changes in oil prices, however, tend to be more pronounced than what we have experienced in the aftermarket segment.  For example, the sudden and precipitous drops in the price of oil had a significant adverse impact on new unit bookings during the 2008 / 2009 recession and more recently in the latter part of 2014. Because of the generally long lead times required to engineer, manufacture and test new equipment before delivery, new unit revenues are generally not impacted in the short-term.  Additionally, we experience in the normal course fluctuations in new unit revenues and bookings due to variability in the timing and size of very large orders, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. This occurs because our equipment, in many cases, is used in very large capital projects that take years to plan and execute, and such projects do not occur on a regular or consistent basis due to their size, location, technical resources, client capital expenditure constraints and long-term relationship to global energy supply and demand.

Prolonged periods of reduced client investment in new units could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any significant downturn in our clients’ markets or in general economic conditions could result in a reduction in demand for our products and services and could harm our business. Such downturns, including the perception that they might continue, could have a significant negative impact on the market price of our common stock and our 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”).

We may not be successful in implementing our business strategy.

We estimate that we currently provide approximately 58% of the supplier-provided aftermarket parts and services needs of our own manufactured turbo products, reciprocating compressors and steam turbines, and less than 5% of the aftermarket parts and services needs of these same classes of equipment of other manufacturers. The successful implementation of our strategy depends on our ability to provide aftermarket parts and services to both our own and our competitors’ installed base of equipment, to develop and maintain our alliance relationships and to maintain competitive costs. Our ability to successfully implement our aftermarket business strategy also depends to a large extent on the success of our competitors in servicing the aftermarket parts and services needs of our clients, the willingness of clients to outsource their service needs to us and general economic conditions. In addition, our ability to implement and execute our localization initiatives, globalize our gas turbine repair business, make strategic acquisitions, reduce costs and cycle times, execute large, complicated extended scope projects and enter into service contracts and new alliance agreements with national oil companies in developing countries will impact the success of our business strategy. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in implementing our strategy.

Our reliance on third-party subcontractors and suppliers may cause delays in shipments and result in significant revenue and profit deferrals.

We rely on other companies, including third-party subcontractors and suppliers, to provide and produce conforming raw materials, integrated components and sub-assemblies, and production commodities and to perform some of the services that we provide to our customers. If one or more of our suppliers or subcontractors experiences delivery delays, quality issues or other performance problems, we may be unable to meet timely our commitments to our clients or we may incur additional costs to do so. For example, in our new units segment, we rely on third-party suppliers for certain major pieces of equipment that are integrated into our compression packages. These finished goods are commonly referred to as “buyouts,” such as large gas turbines or motors that drive our compressors. Our reliance on third-party suppliers for this equipment exposes us to price risk, the equipment made available, bundling commercial propositions and to delays resulting from a supplier’s failure to deliver the equipment in a sufficiently timely manner to enable us to meet our commitments to our clients.

In addition, in some instances, we may have one, or a very limited number of, sources of supply for a particular material or component.  Any service disruption from one of these suppliers, due to circumstances beyond the supplier’s control or as a result of performance problems,  financial difficulties, limited access or the inability to obtain access to certain products we incorporate in our own offerings as a result of consolidation in our industry, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet timely our commitments to our clients, increase our operating costs or limit our ability to offer our solutions to the market.

Any delays in the delivery of necessary materials or components may delay our own deliveries of our products to our clients until subsequent quarterly or annual periods, resulting in deferral of revenue and profit recognition to those future periods.  In certain instances, the deferred revenue and profit recognition could have a material adverse effect on our quarterly and/or annual financial results, and such delays could cause us reputational harm.

We bear the risk of cost overruns in fixed-price contracts. We may experience reduced profits or, in some cases, losses under these contracts if costs increase above our estimates.

For revenues earned under contracts that are fixed-price in nature, we bear the risk of paying some, if not all, of any cost overruns. Fixed-price contract amounts are established in part on cost and scheduling estimates that are based on a number of assumptions, including those about future economic conditions, prices, the availability of labor, equipment and materials and other exigencies. If these estimates prove inaccurate, there are errors or ambiguities as to contract specifications, or if circumstances change due to, among other things, unanticipated technical problems, difficulties in obtaining permits or approvals, changes in local laws or labor conditions, weather delays, changes in the costs of raw materials, or our vendors’ or subcontractors’ inability to perform, then cost overruns may occur and we could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, a loss for that project. If the project is significant, or there are one or more issues that impact multiple projects, cost overruns could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to establish and/or maintain our compliance with the local content requirements in certain foreign countries, our financial results could be adversely affected.

We are required by the laws and regulations of some foreign countries, as well as the policies of or contracts with some of our clients located in foreign countries, to manufacture, package or procure a defined portion of our products in those foreign countries. These requirements are commonly referred to as “local content requirements.” In order to satisfy these local content requirements, we have undertaken several localization initiatives in selected foreign countries. Some of our competitors with more significant capital resources may elect in the future to implement or expedite their own localization efforts in these countries, and those efforts may result in competitive advantages for them. Our failure to implement or successfully execute our localization initiatives, or otherwise acquire and maintain the capability to satisfy applicable local content requirements, could result in penalties and in financial underperformance.  Furthermore, it could result in losing business to our competitors and/or our breaching the terms of existing agreements, potentially resulting in loss of expected profits or damages, including monetary penalties. Depending on the value to us of lost business or the amounts of any contractual penalties, these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We face intense competition that may cause us to lose market share and harm our financial performance.

We encounter competition in all areas of our business. The principal differentiators of competition in our markets include price, product performance and quality, product technology, client service, product lead times, global reach, brand reputation, breadth of product lineand quality of aftermarket service and support. Our clients increasingly demand more technologically advanced and integrated products, and we must continue to develop our expertise and technical capabilities in order to manufacture and market these products successfully. Certain clients may be more price sensitive or favor bundling and less receptive to our value proposition of providing the lowest total life cycle costs and minimizing environmental impacts. To remain competitive, we will need to invest continuously in research and development,

17

manufacturing, cost reduction efforts, marketing, client service and support and our sales networks. If we fail to develop and introduce new technologies or make product improvements that are accepted in the marketplace or reduce product costs, our business could be adversely affected.

In our aftermarket parts and services segment, we compete with our major competitors, small independent local service providers and our clients’ in-house service providers. Other OEMs typically have an advantage in competing for services and upgrades to their own equipment. Failure to penetrate this market will adversely affect our ability to grow our business. In addition, our competitors are increasingly emulating our alliance strategy. Our alliance relationships are generally terminable without penalty by either party upon reasonable notice, and our failure to maintain or enter into new alliance relationships will adversely affect our ability to grow our business. Most of the other OEMs are significantly larger in terms of revenues, cash flow, and market capitalization, and they may have better access to capital than we do. Certain of these OEMs have additional products such as large gas turbines that they can offer in a bundled solution in addition to our class of equipment.

We may not be able to integrate successfully, or achieve the expected benefits from, our acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic investments, which could adversely affect our results.

We have at times used acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic investments as a means of expanding our business to enhance returns and expect that we will continue to do so. If we do not successfully integrate our acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic investments, we may not realize expected operating improvements and synergies. Future acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic investments may require us to incur additional debt and contingent liabilities, which may materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The acquisition and integration of companies, as well as joint ventures and other strategic investments, involve a number of risks, including:

· use of available cash, new borrowings or borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility to consummate the acquisition, joint venture or other strategic investment;

· demands on management related to the increase in our size after consummating an acquisition or other strategic investment or after establishing a joint venture;

· diversion of management’s attention from existing operations due to the integration of acquired companies, joint ventures or other strategic investments;

· difficulties arising from reliance on the capabilities and cooperation of joint venture partners and the management of companies in which we make other strategic investments;

· our inability to control our joint venture partners, who may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours, and who may take actions contrary to our policies or objectives or the best interests of the joint venture, including by exercising rights or failing to fulfill obligations under the applicable joint venture agreement;

· integration into our existing systems, programs and processes;

· difficulties in the assimilation and retention of employees;

· potential adverse effects on our operating or financial results, including those effects resulting from the failure of our joint ventures or the companies in which we make strategic investments to perform as expected, particularly those involved in new product development or emerging technologies; and

· failure to implement effective internal control, resulting in potential adverse effects on internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which could result in material weaknesses or a failure to file our periodic reports with the SEC on a timely basis.

We may not be able to maintain the levels of operating efficiency that acquired companies achieved separately. Successful integration of acquired operations will depend upon our ability to manage those operations and to eliminate redundant and excess costs. We may not be able to achieve the cost reductions and other benefits that we would hope to achieve from acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic investments, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Economic, political and other risks associated with worldwide sales and operations could adversely affect our business.

Because we manufacture and sell our products and services worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business globally. For the year ended December 31, 2014, 32% of our net revenue was derived from North America (approximately 93% of which was in the United States), 24% from Europe, 13% from the Middle East and Africa, 15% from Asia Pacific/Southern Asia and 16% from Latin America. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:

· changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

· exchange controls that impact our ability to convert currencies;

· changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in developing countries;

· civil unrest in any of the countries in which we operate;

18

· tariffs, other trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

· negative consequences from changes in tax laws or the unfavorable resolution of tax assessments or audits;  

· aging of a highly-skilled work force and difficulty in staffing and managing widespread global operations and field services;

· adverse labor regulations;

· requirements relating to withholding taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

· different regimes controlling the protection of our intellectual property;

· restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in certain jurisdictions;

· restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries;

· difficulty in collecting international accounts receivable;

· difficulty in enforcement of contractual obligations;

· nationalization of owned-assets;

· unexpected transportation delays or interruptions;

· changes in regulatory requirements or government programs, including changes to subsidies, tariffs or other programs benefitting our energy generating assets;

· the burden of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws; and

· changes in governmental energy initiatives and their impact on the need for distributed power, or our ability to secure or renew contract awards.

Our worldwide operations are affected by global economic and political conditions. Changes in economic or political conditions in any of the countries in which we operate could result in exchange rate movements, new currency or exchange controls or other restrictions being imposed on our operations, or expropriation.

Some of the markets in which we operate are politically unstable and are subject to occasional civil and communal unrest. Riots, strikes, the outbreak of war or terrorist attacks in locations where we have operations or commercial interests could also adversely affect our business.

We have various policies that restrict or prohibit sales of our products and services into countries that are subject to various embargoes and sanctions or to countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism. In some cases, these policies are more restrictive than what is required under applicable law. Our policies are consistent with the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRSHRA”), which expanded sanctions against Iran effective in October 2012 and instituted disclosure requirements in annual and quarterly reports for public companies engaged in, or affiliated with an entity engaged in, specified activities under the ITRSHRA. This policy was effective immediately and applied to all contracts, including those in existence on the effective date of the policy.

The Company’s foreign subsidiarieshad no sales of our products and services into countries that are subject to various embargoes and sanctions or to countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism in 2014.

While the U.S. sanctions against Iran prohibit the Company and all of its subsidiaries from directly or indirectly engaging in any business activities with that country, the sanctions and embargoes involving Syria and Sudan generally do not prohibit our non-U.S. subsidiaries from transacting business in such countries; however, they may prohibit us and our domestic subsidiaries, as well as employees of our foreign subsidiaries who are U.S. persons, from participating in, approving or otherwise facilitating any aspect of the business activities in those countries.

We operate in some countries in which the risk of bribery and other corrupt activities is recognized and, despite our due diligence and other compliance efforts, the companies we acquire pose risks of prior corrupt practices that could adversely affect us. We have detailed policies prohibiting illegal payments and other corrupt activities and have a related comprehensive training and compliance program. However, a risk of bribery or other corrupt activities remains despite our efforts. In such circumstances, we could also face fines, sanctions and other penalties from authorities in the relevant jurisdictions, including prohibition of our participating in or curtailment of our business operations in those jurisdictions, if evidence of such bribery or other corrupt activities was found.

Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and other currencies and the volatility of exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our results of operations. Because our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, if we generate sales or earnings in other currencies the translation of those results into U.S. dollars can result in a significant increase or decrease in the amount of those sales or earnings. In addition, our debt service requirements are primarily in U.S. dollars, even though a significant percentage of our cash flow is generated in euros or other foreign currencies. Significant changes in the value of the foreign currencies in which we

19

transact business relative to the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to meet interest and principal payments on U.S. dollar-denominated debt, including our Senior Subordinated Notes and the U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility. Significant fluctuations between currencies may also adversely affect our clients and suppliers. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to currencies in which our earnings are generated may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

The economic and political situation in Venezuela is subject to change. We are exposed to risks of currency devaluation in Venezuela primarily as a result of our bolivar receivable balances and any locally held cash balances included in our net monetary assets.  However, we do not believe any such devaluation would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.  

In addition to currency translation risks, we incur currency transaction risk whenever we or one of our subsidiaries enters into either a purchase or a sales transaction using a currency other than the local currency of the transacting entity. Given the volatility of exchange rates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage our currency transaction and/or translation risks. Volatility in currency exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We have purchased and may continue to purchase foreign currency hedging instruments protecting or offsetting positions in certain currencies to reduce the risk of adverse currency fluctuations on transactions, but we have not historically hedged translation risk. We have in the past experienced and believe it is likely that in the future we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

If we lose our senior management or key personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

The success of our business is largely dependent on our senior managers, as well as on our ability to attract and retain other qualified key personnel. In addition, there is significant demand in our industry for qualified engineers, mechanics and other skilled workers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain all of our current senior management personnel and to attract and retain other necessary personnel, including qualified mechanics, engineers and other skilled workers, necessary for the development of our business and the replacement of an aging, highly-skilled work force. The loss of the services of senior management and other key personnel or the failure to attract additional personnel as required could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities and responses to concerns regarding climate change could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows adversely.

Our operations and properties are subject to stringent U.S. and foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including laws and regulations governing the investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as air emissions, water discharges, waste management and disposal and workplace health and safety. Such laws and regulations affect a significant percentage of our operations, are continually changing, are generally different in every jurisdiction and can impose substantial fines and sanctions for violations. Further, they may require substantial clean-up costs for our properties (many of which are sites of long-standing manufacturing operations) and the installation of costly pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases. We must conform our operations and properties to these laws and adapt to regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions as these requirements change.

We routinely deal with natural gas, oil and other petroleum products. As a result of our manufacturing and services operations, we generate, manage and dispose of, or recycle hazardous wastes and substances such as solvents, thinner, waste paint, waste oil, wash-down wastes and sandblast material. Hydrocarbons or other hazardous substances or wastes may have been disposed or released on, under or from properties owned, leased or operated by us or on, under or from other locations where such substances or wastes have been taken for disposal. These properties may be subject to investigatory, clean-up and monitoring requirements under U.S. and foreign, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Such liability may be imposed without regard to the legality of the original actions and without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances, and such liability may be joint and several with other parties. If the liability is joint and several, we could be responsible for payment of the full amount of the liability, whether or not any other responsible party also is liable.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, both operating and capital costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including the clean-up and investigation of some of our properties as well as offsite disposal locations. In addition, although we believe our operations are in compliance with environmental laws and regulations and that we are indemnified by Ingersoll Rand, our former parent company, and the sellers of Guascor for certain contamination and compliance costs (subject to certain exceptions and limitations), new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination, the imposition

20

of new clean-up requirements, new claims for property damage or personal injury arising from environmental matters or the refusal and/or inability of Ingersoll Rand or the sellers of Guascor to meet their indemnification obligations could require us to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also expect that scientific examination of and political attention to issues surrounding the existence and extent of climate change will continue. A variety of regulatory developments, both domestic and international, have been introduced that are focused on restricting or managing the emission of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. These developments and further legislation that may be enacted or the development or changes within international accords could adversely affect our operations and the demand for or suitability of our products and services.

New regulations related to certain minerals, known as “conflict minerals,” could adversely impact our business.

Compliance withconflict minerals rules promulgated by the SECin August 2012 has and will continue to result in increased costs related to investigations to determine the sources of raw materials used in our products, and to any resulting changes to products, processes or sources of supply.  The implementation of these rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in our products. We rely on the representations of our suppliers, which may not be accurate. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” conflict minerals, we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges or potentially an adverse impact on our sales if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our products through the procedures we may implement.

Failure to maintain a safety performance that is acceptable to our clients could result in the loss of future business.

Our U.S. clients are heavily regulated by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration concerning workplace safety and health. Our clients have very high expectations regarding safety and health issues and require us to maintain safety performance records for our worldwide operations, field services, repair centers, sales and manufacturing plants. Our clients often insist that our safety performance equal or exceed their safety performance requirements. Most of our major clients have safety performance criteria for their suppliers in order to be qualified for their “approved suppliers” list. If we fail to meet a client’s safety performance requirements, we may be removed from that client’s approved supplier database and precluded from bidding on future business opportunities with that client.

We maintain a database to measure our monthly and annual safety performance and track our incident rates. Our incident rates help us identify and track accident trends, determine root causes, formulate corrective actions and implement preventive initiatives. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in maintaining or exceeding our clients’ requirements regarding safety performance or that we will not lose the opportunity to bid on certain contracts.

Our business could suffer if we are unsuccessful in negotiating new collective bargaining agreements.

As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 7,900 employees worldwide. Of our employees, approximately 52% are located in the  U.S. Approximately 30% of our employees in the U.S. are covered by collective bargaining agreements including operations in Olean, Painted Post and Wellsville, N.Y., and in Burlington, Iowa. A collective bargaining agreement will expire at our Wellsville facility in August 2015. We have an agreement with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America whereby we hire skilled trade workers on a contract-by-contract basis in many parts of the U.S. Our contract with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America can be terminated by either party with 90 days’ prior written notice. Furthermore, approximately 47% of our employees outside of the U.S. belong to industry or national labor unions. Our operations in the following international locations are unionized with agreements negotiated annually: Le Havre, France; Peterborough, UK; Oberhausen and Bielefeld, Germany; Zumaia and Minano, Spain; Kongsberg, Norway; and Naroda, India. Although we believe that our relations with our represented employees are good, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in negotiating new collective bargaining agreements, that such negotiations will not result in significant increases in the cost of labor or that a breakdown in such negotiations will not result in the disruption of our operations.

Security threats and sophisticated computer crime pose a risk to our information systems, networks, products and services.

We rely upon information systems and networks in connection with a variety of business activities, and we collect and store sensitive data. Information system security threats and sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. A failure of or breach in security could expose the Company and our clients and suppliers to risks of misuse of information or systems, the compromising of confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, defective

21

products, production downtimes and operations disruptions, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, relationships with our clients and our business and results of operations. In addition, such breaches in security could result in litigation, regulatory action and potential liability and the costs and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures.

We may be faced with product claims or adverse consequences of regulations as a result of the hazardous applications in which our products are used.

Because some of our products are used in systems that handle volatile, toxic or hazardous substances, a failure or alleged failure of certain of our products have resulted in, and in the future could result in, claims against our Company for product liability, including property damage, personal injury damage, wrongful death, pollution and other environmental damage, and consequential damages. These risks may expose our clients to liability. If our clients suffer damages as a result of the occurrence of such events, they may reduce their business with us. Further, we may be subject to potentially material liabilities relating to claims alleging personal injury as a result of hazardous substances incorporated into our products. Furthermore, a claim could be made for the adverse consequences of environmental contamination under various regulations. Such claims could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flow.

Third parties may infringe our intellectual property or we may infringe the intellectual property of third parties, and we may expend significant resources enforcing or defending our rights or suffer competitive injury.

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. Similarly, if we were to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, our competitive position could suffer. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any pending patent application or trademark application held by us will result in an issued patent or registered trademark, or that any issued or registered patents or trademarks will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. Also, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, duplicate or reverse engineer our technology or design around the patents owned or licensed by us.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary information, or to defend against claims by third parties that our products infringe their intellectual property rights. Any litigation or claims brought by or against us, whether with or without merit, or whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any intellectual property litigation or claims against us could result in the loss or compromise of our intellectual property and proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses on unfavorable terms, prevent us from manufacturing or selling products and require us to redesign or, in the case of trademark claims, rename our products, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected if we encounter difficulties as we implement an Oracle-based information management system.

We are in the process of implementing an Oracle-based information management system across our worldwide operations. We have implemented the system in various locations representing approximately 70% of our business operations based on revenues in 2014. Although the transition to date has proceeded without any material adverse effects, a disruption in the implementation or the related procedures or controls could adversely affect both our internal and disclosure controls and harm our business, including our ability to forecast or make sales, manage our supply chain and coordinate production. Moreover, such a disruption could result in unanticipated costs or expenditures and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

Prior to implementing Oracle at certain of our locations, we are operating legacy operational and financial systems and have risks inherent with running these older systems, such as limited vendor support, declining in-house knowledge of the systems and manual processes to compensate for system limitations. While we have processes and procedures to mitigate these risks, we cannot guarantee the continued operation of these legacy systems would not cause disruption in the business or affect our internal and disclosure controls.

Our brand name may be subject to confusion.

Our Company’s name and principal mark is a combination of the names of our founder companies, Dresser Industries, Inc. and Ingersoll Rand. We have acquired rights to use the “Rand” portion of our principal mark from Ingersoll Rand, and the rights to use the “Dresser” portion of our name from Dresser, Inc., the successor of Dresser Industries, Inc. and now a

22

wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Company. If we lose the right to use either the “Dresser” or “Rand” portion of our name, our ability to maintain our brand identity could be negatively affected.

We require a significant amount of cash to operate our business and to service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate cash and access capital on reasonable terms and conditions depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt, and to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend on our ability to generate cash and to access capital. Our ability to generate cash is subject to economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond our control, including the creditworthiness or priorities of certain of our customers. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our Amended Credit Facility, under additional or renewed uncommitted lines of credit or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity. We might be unable to access the full amount of borrowings available under our Amended Credit Facility, which depends in part on the financial condition of the financial institutions participating in our Amended Credit Facility. We might be unable to refinance any of our debt, including our Amended Credit Facility or our Senior Subordinated Notes, on commercially reasonable terms.

The covenants in our Amended Credit Facility and the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes impose restrictions that may limit our operating and financial flexibility.

Our Amended Credit Facility and the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

· create, incur or permit liens;

· borrow money, guarantee debt and sell certain types of preferred stock;

· pay dividends;

· make redemptions and repurchases of certain capital stock;

· make capital expenditures and specified types of investments;

· pre-pay, redeem or repurchase, or make amendments to, certain subordinated debt, including our Senior Subordinated Notes;

· sell assets or engage in acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and asset dispositions;

· change the nature of our business;

· enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

· engage in affiliate transactions.

The Amended Credit Facility also requires us to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including, but not limited to, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.

Maintaining compliance with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs. Furthermore, they may restrict our ability to expand, pursue our business strategies and otherwise conduct our business. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by circumstances and events beyond our control, such as economic conditions and changes in regulations, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to comply. A breach of these covenants could result in a default under the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes and/or the Amended Credit Facility. If there were an event of default under the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes and/or the Amended Credit Facility, the affected creditors could cause all amounts borrowed under these instruments to be due and payable immediately. Additionally, if we fail to repay indebtedness under our Amended Credit Facility when it becomes due, the lenders under the Amended Credit Facility could proceed against the assets and capital stock which we have pledged to them as security. Our assets and cash flow might not be sufficient to repay our outstanding debt in the event of a default.

Our pension expenses and funding requirements are affected by factors outside our control, including the performance of plan assets, interest rates, actuarial data and experience and changes in laws and regulations.

Our future funding obligations for our U.S. defined benefit pension plans qualified with the Internal Revenue Service depend upon the level of benefits provided by the plans, the future performance of assets set aside in trusts for these plans, the level of interest rates used to determine funding levels, actuarial experience and changes in government laws and regulations. If the market value of securities held by the plan trusts declines, our pension expense would increase and, as a result, could adversely affect our financial results. Decreases in interest rates that are not offset by contributions and asset returns could also increase our obligation under such plans. Such factors and the statutory funding requirements of various countries in which we sponsor pension plans may legally require us to make contributions to our pension plans in the future, and those contributions could be material. In addition, if local authorities increase the minimum funding

23

requirements for our pension plans, we could be required to contribute more funds, which would negatively affect our cash flow and liquidity.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our publicly traded securities in spite of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, and in response, the market price of our securities could decrease significantly. Among other factors that could affect the price of our securities are:

· actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results, which may be caused by, among other things, variability in the timing and size of very large orders and shipments in the new units segment;

· changes in opinions and earnings and other financial estimates by securities analysts;

· actual or anticipated changes in economic, political or market conditions, such as regime and / or leadership changes, recessions, depressions or international currency fluctuations;

· actual or anticipated changes in the regulatory environment affecting our industry;

· changes in the market valuations of our industry peers; and

· announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, divestitures, joint ventures, new products and technologies or other strategic initiatives.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws and Delaware law may discourage a takeover attempt.

Provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us. Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws and Delaware law impose various procedural and other requirements, which could make it more difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. For example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of unissued series of preferred stock, without any vote or action by our stockholders. Thus, our board of directors can, and did on September 21, 2014, authorize and issue shares of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting or other rights of holders of our common stock, which rights will expire on September 22, 2015, if not sooner. These rights may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change of control of our Company. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.  These rights are more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

As of February 20, 2015, there were 5 holders of record of our common stock.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company is currently prohibited from declaring, authorizing or paying any dividends. Notwithstanding the Merger Agreement, at December 31, 2014, the amount available to us to pay cash dividends under the more restrictive covenants of our Amended Credit Facility and our indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes is limited to $200.0 plus 50% of the net income for the period commencing January 1, 2010, and ending on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter as available cumulatively after previous dividends and certain stock repurchases. Historically, we have not paid dividends, and any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions, business outlook and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ($ in millions)

“Safe Harbor” Statement Under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Form 10-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, business trends and other information that is not historical information. When used in this Form 10-K, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. These factors, risks and uncertainties include, among others, the following:

· economic or industry downturns;

· volatility and disruption of the credit markets;

· our ability to implement our business strategy;

· delivery delays by third-party suppliers;

· the risk of cost overruns on fixed price contracts;

· our ability to comply with local content requirements;

· payment and administrative delays of certain of our national oil company customers;

· our ability to generate cash and access capital on reasonable terms;

· competition in our markets;

· the variability of bookings and revenues due to volatile market conditions, client subjectivity in placing orders, potential preference for bundling and timing of large orders;

· failure to integrate, or achieve the expected benefits from, acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments;  

· economic, political and other risks associated with our international sales and operations;

· fluctuations in currency values and exchange rates;

· loss of our senior management or other key personnel;

· environmental compliance costs and liabilities and responses to concerns regarding climate change;

· new regulations relating to “conflict minerals”;

· failure to maintain safety performance acceptable to our clients;

· failure to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements;

· information systems security threats and computer crime;

· unexpected product claims or regulations;

· infringement of our intellectual property rights or our infringement of others’ intellectual property rights;

· difficulties implementing an Oracle-based information management system;

· certain covenants in our principal debt instruments impose restrictions that may limit our operating and financial flexibility;

· our brand name may be confused with others;

· our pension expenses and funding requirements;

· feed-in tariffs,  regulations and replacement of our concessions by a grid system in our energy generating business;

· the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement;

· the failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals by government or regulatory agencies with regard to the Merger Agreement;

· the failure of the Merger to be completed on a timely basis or at all for any other reason;

· the risks that our business may suffer as a result of uncertainties surrounding the Merger;

· our ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners pending the consummation of the Merger;

· the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns due to the impending Merger transaction;

· limitations placed on our ability to operate our business under the Merger Agreement;

· the possibility that costs related to the Merger will be greater than expected;

· the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or others relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger; and

· other factors described in this Form 10-K.

Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what the impact would be on our results of operations and financial condition. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by

29

applicable law. Further discussion of these and other risk considerations is provided in Item 1ARisk Factors, in this Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Dresser-Rand Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,”  “Dresser-Rand” and similar terms, refer to Dresser-Rand Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

We have been serving the energy markets since 1840. For over 170 years, the Company has been able to build on the legacy of innovation and technology from companies that include many of the most respected names in the industry — Dresser-Clark, Ingersoll Rand, Worthington, Turbodyne, Terry, Nadrowski, Coppus, Murray, Gimpel, Peter Brotherhood, Arrow Industries, Enginuity, Compressor Renewal Services, Grupo Guascor, S.L., Leading Edge Turbine Technologies, Turbo Machines Field Services and Synchrony. During that time, we have amassed the largest installed base of equipment in our class, which we believe would be very difficult for competitors to replicate.

We are among the largest global suppliers of custom-engineered rotating equipment solutions for long-life, critical applications in the oil, gas, chemical, petrochemical, process, power generation, military and other industries worldwide. In addition to oil and gas, our equipment and service solutions are used in the broader energy infrastructure markets, including environmental solutions and distributed power generation.

Our products are used for applications that include oil and gas production and gas lift; high-pressure gas injection and other applications for enhanced oil recovery; natural gas production and processing; gas liquefaction; gas gathering, transmission and storage; hydrogen, wet and coker gas, synthesis gas, carbon dioxide and many other applications for the refining, fertilizer and petrochemical markets; several applications for the armed forces; as well as varied applications for general industrial markets such as paper, steel, sugar and distributed power generation. We are also a supplier of diesel, gas and dual fuel engines that provide customized energy solutions across worldwide energy infrastructure markets based upon reciprocating engine power systems technologies. We service our installed base, and that of other suppliers, around the world through the provision of parts, repairs, overhauls, operation and maintenance, upgrades, revamps, applied technology solutions, coatings, field services, technical support and other extended services. In addition, see Item 1Business, in this Form 10-K for a description of the markets we serve.

We operate globally with manufacturing facilities in the U.S., France, Spain, UK, Germany, Norway, Brazil and India. We provide a wide array of products and services to our worldwide client base in over 150 countries from our global locations in 18 U.S. states and 33 countries through our  72 sales offices, 51 service and support centers, including seven engineering and research and development centers, and 14 manufacturing locations.  

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the percent of revenues by destination were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,

Segment Information

We have two reportable segments based on the engineering and production processes, and the products and services provided by each segment as follows:

1)New units are predominately highly engineered solutions to new requests from clients. New units also include standardized equipment such as engines and single stage steam turbines. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, project management, packaging, testing, sales and administrative support.

2)Aftermarket parts and services consist of support solutions for the existing population of installed equipment and the operation and maintenance of several types of energy plants. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, project management, installation, commissioning, start-up and other field services, repairs, overhauls, refurbishment, sales and administrative support.

These functions have been defined as the operating segments of the Company because they are the segments (1) that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information is available.

Unallocated amounts represent expenses and assets that cannot be assigned directly to either reportable segment because of their nature. Unallocated net expenses include certain corporate expenses, and research and development expenses. Assets that are directly assigned to the two reportable segments are trade accounts receivable, net inventories and goodwill. Unallocated assets include cash, prepaid expenses and other, deferred taxes, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. There are no significant intercompany transactions between our reportable segments.

Effects of Currency Fluctuations

Our results of operations are subject to both currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. We incur currency transaction risk whenever we or our subsidiaries enter into a purchase or sales transaction using a currency other than the functional currency (usually local) of the transacting entity. With respect to currency translation risk, our financial condition and results of operations are measured and recorded in the relevant functional currency and then translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Exchange rates between these currencies and U.S. dollars historically have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. The most significant component of our revenues and costs is denominated in U.S. dollars. Euro and Norwegian kroner-related revenues and costs are also significant. Historically, we have engaged in hedging strategies from time to time to reduce the effect of currency fluctuations on specific transactions. However, we have not sought to hedge currency translation risk. We expect to continue to engage in foreign currency hedging strategies going forward, but historically have not attempted to qualify our foreign currency hedges for hedge accounting treatment. Significant declines in the value of the euro and Norwegian kroner relative to the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Revenues

Our revenues are primarily generated through the sale of new units and aftermarket parts and services. Revenues are recognized as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our notes to consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.  

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes raw materials, manufacturing and services related employee and overhead costs, freight and warehousing and product engineering.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling expenses consist of costs associated with marketing and sales. Administrative expenses are primarily management, corporate expenses and legal costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other labor related costs, depreciation, workstations and software costs associated with product development. These costs are expensed as incurred. Expenses for major projects are carefully evaluated to manage return on investment requirements.

31

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net includes those items that are non-operating in nature. Examples of items reported as other expense, net are equity in earnings of certain 50% or less owned affiliates and the impact of currency exchange fluctuations.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for improvements that extend the life of the asset are generally capitalized. Intangible assets primarily consist of amounts allocated to customer relationships, software and technology, trade names and other intangibles. All of the intangible assets are generally amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives.

Bookings and Backlog

Effective July 1, 2012, the Company elected to voluntarily change its policy for recording contract cancellations. Historically, contract cancellations were recorded as reductions in current period bookings. Beginning July 1, 2012, contract cancellations are recorded as direct adjustments to backlog with no impact on current period bookings. Contract cancellations in historical periods have not been material to bookings or backlog. The change in policy provides more relevant information about current market activity by recognizing economic events in the periods in which they occur. In accordance with this policy, material contract cancellations directly adjusting backlog are separately disclosed.

New Units

Bookings represent firm orders placed for a specific scope of supply during the period, whether or not filled. The elapsed time from booking to completion of performance is typically four to fifteen months (and potentially longer for certain major projects). The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as agreed letters of authorization that management has determined are likely to be performed. Although backlog represents business that is considered firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. In certain cases, cancellation of a contract provides us with the opportunity to bill for certain incurred costs and penalties. Backlog is adjusted to reflect currency exchange rates as of the date the backlog is reported.

Aftermarket Parts and Services

Bookings represent firm orders placed for a specific scope of supply during the period, whether or not filled. Backlog primarily consists of unfilled parts orders and open repair and field service orders. The elapsed time from order entry to completion can be one day to 12 months depending on the complexity of the order. Backlog is adjusted to reflect currency exchange rates as of the date the backlog is reported.

Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds

In the ordinary course of our business, we make use of letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds. We use both performance bonds, ensuring the performance of our obligations under various contracts to which we are a party, and advance payment bonds, which ensure that clients that place purchase orders with us and make advance payments under such contracts are reimbursed to the extent we fail to deliver under the contract. Under the revolving portion of our Amended Credit Facility, we are entitled to have up to $400.0 of letters of credit outstanding at any time, subject to certain conditions. From time to time, we also use letters of credit and bank guarantees issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit, which are not limited by the Amended Credit Facility.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013:

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company achieved net income attributable to Dresser-Rand of $122.7, or $1.59 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to Dresser-Rand of $168.4, or $2.19 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company generated operating income of $288.3 in the year ended December 31, 2014, which includes $15.4 of transaction-related expenses, resulting from entering into the Merger Agreement. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2014, was also reduced by approximately $5.3 of severance cost associated with the suspension of operations at six of the Company’s cogeneration facilities in Spain, as well as the consolidation of operations in Germany. The latter part of 2014 was especially challenging for the Company. The decline in oil prices had a significant impact on both new unit and aftermarket bookings. Aftermarket bookings were strong in the three months ended December 31, 2014, but more than half of the fourth quarter bookings came in December which precluded manufacturing, shipping and converting those orders to revenues in the period. The lower than expected new unit bookings and the delayed aftermarket bookings also contributed to lower cost absorption due to the lower volume of work in our factories. Net income attributable to Dresser-Rand for the year ended December 31, 2014, was also reduced by approximately $11.7 associated with the Company’s acquisition of Ramgen, which consists of a loss of $18.3 related to writing down its previously owned interest and a gain of $6.6 associated with the excess of the fair value of the assets acquired over the consideration paid.  In 2013, the Company was required to record the impact of the previously disclosed Spanish regulation which resulted in suspending operations of its energy assets in Spain.  This resulted in reduced net income and diluted earnings per share of $62.1 and $0.81, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Restructuring

On February 25, 2015, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a series of actions intended to improve operating performance. The Company has announced a planned reduction in workforce of approximately 8%, which covers its world-wide operations, and associated overhead costs from the different support disciplines. The announced actions include reduced overhead through the optimization of the Company’s workforce and non-cash charges (impairment and/or accelerated depreciation and amortization) related to the restructuring or disposal of certain assets.  The Company currently estimates the overall pre-tax costs of the program at approximately $50.0. These strategic initiatives originate from the Company’s efforts to identify opportunities to strengthen its value proposition, increase operational efficiencies, and improve financial performance.  We will begin initiating the announced actions in the first quarter of 2015 and expect to complete the actions by the end of 2015.

The amount of the restructuring charge noted above is an estimate, and the actual charges may vary materially based on various factors, including but not limited to the following: the timing of final asset dispositions; level of employee terminations; factors relating to real estate, such as sale proceeds and other related expenses; and changes in management’s assumptions.

Revenues.   Revenues were $2,811.7 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $3,032.6 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $220.9 or 7.3%. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. Prior to the three months ended December 31, 2014, however, the industry reacted in a more measured manner to reduced oil prices and we had not experienced a strong direct correlation of short-term volatility in oil prices to our quarterly or annual financial results. Fluctuations in revenues and bookings are generally due to variability in the timing and size of very large orders in the new units segment, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. This occurs because our equipment, in many cases, is used in very large capital projects that take years to plan and execute, and such projects do not occur on a regular or consistent basis due to their size, location, technical resources, client capital expenditure constraints and long-term relationship to global energy supply and demand. While a change in these factors at a macroeconomic level will tend to have a corresponding overall effect on our revenue in future periods, the timing of such effect on our quarterly or even annual revenues may not have been strongly correlated because of the generally long lead times required to engineer, manufacture and test new equipment before delivery, the recent quarter’s decrease in oil prices has had a more pronounced effect. Furthermore, the highly engineered nature of our worldwide products and services does not easily lend itself to measuring the impact of price, volume and mix on changes in our total revenues from year to year. Based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, revenues decreased due to lower volume during the year ended December 31, 2014.  Aftermarket bookings were strong in the three months ended December 31, 2014, but as a result of the precipitous drop in oil prices, more than half of the fourth quarter bookings came in December which precluded converting those orders to revenues in the period. We  also have been impacted by previous delays by the Company’s end-user clients in placing equipment orders for major projects, mostly for upstream applications. Revenues were also negatively impacted by the closure of our cogeneration facilities in Spain.  The Spanish government published a ministerial order on June 20, 2014, that reflects an approximate 38% reduction in the tariffs payable with respect to power sales from these facilities.  In connection with the order being issued, the reduction of the tariffs and the suspension of operations at the facilities, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014, were lower by approximately $106.0.  An adverse translation impact of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $41.2, resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro, Norwegian kroner and Brazilian real, also contributed to the decrease in revenues. The decrease in revenue on extended scope projects, which are accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting, was $98.1 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cost of sales.Cost of sales was $2,083.0 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $2,247.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 74.1% for both the years ended December 31,

34

2014 and 2013.A favorablemix impact resulting from the closure of the Company’s low margin Spanish cogeneration facilities were partially offset by a change in the asset retirement obligations associated with the plant closures and lower operating leverage on fixed costs as a result of lower volumes.  

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $728.7 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $785.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 25.9% for both the yearsended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Selling and administrative expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses were $397.1 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $385.5 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The increase in selling and administrative expenses was generally the result of cost inflation and severance cost of approximately $5.3 associated with the suspension of operations at six of our cogeneration facilities in Spain, as well as the consolidation of operations in Germany.  As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 14.1% from 12.7%.

Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $27.9 compared to $38.8 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The decline in research and development expenses is the result of changing expenditure profiles within major programs as they near market release. We continue to effectively execute our strategy to introduce new and innovative products and technologies with a focus on key new product development initiatives for DATUM®, DATUM® ICS, subsea and supersonic compression, LNG, LNGoTM,  steam turbines and reciprocating engines.

Transaction-related expenses.  Transaction-related expenses were $15.4 for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The pending Merger is discussed more fully in Note 1, Business Activities, in our notes to consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

Fixed asset impairment of cogeneration facilities.The Spanish government published a ministerial order on June 20, 2014, that reflected a reduction in existing tariffs of approximately 38%, which was retroactive to July 2013. The enacted order was issued in draft form in February 2014 and is an implementation order of a law that was passed in 2013.  The 2013 law did not have sufficient specificity to reasonably estimate the change in the tariff without the further order, but did provide that the existing tariffs would be paid on a provisional basis until the order was issued.  Before the initial draft was issued, the Company was unable to evaluate the impact of the new law as the implementation regulation had not been issued, and therefore did not believe that assets would be impaired. Once the initial draft was issued in late February 2014, the Company determined that operating the cogeneration facilities would not be economical under the reduced tariff level and decided to close the facilities.  Because the initial draft related to the 2013 law, the Company recorded the resulting impairment charge of $40.0 in the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Income from operations.Income from operations was $288.3 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $321.0 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $32.7 or 10.2%.  As a percentage of revenues, income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, was 10.3%, compared to 10.6% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The decrease in income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of revenues is the result of the factors discussed above. 

Interest expense, net.  Interest expense, net was $52.0 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $46.9 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  In September 2013, Enviroil Italia, S.p.A (“Enviroil”), an affiliate of the Company, entered into a settlement agreement in which the counterparty agreed to waive sanctions, interest and other related costs that the counterparty had previously claimed, and the Company had previously accrued.  Accordingly, upon entering into the settlement agreement, the interest portion of this accrual was reversed, resulting in a reduction in interest expense for 2013 of $6.5.  The increase in interest expense is partially offset by higher interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014, due to higher average interest-bearing cash balances.

Other expense, net.  Other expense, net was $50.7 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to other expense, net of $16.6 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Other expense, net, consists principally of net currency gains and losses and earnings and losses on investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Foreign currency losses for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $20.4 higher than those for the year ended December 31, 2013, principally as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar.  A substantial portion of these losses are associated with economic hedges that have not qualified as accounting hedges, and are expected to be recovered in future periods when the hedged transactions are executed.  On August 8, 2014, the Company consummated the agreement to acquire financial control of Ramgen, an entity in which the Company held a 42.2% equity interest immediately preceding the acquisition date.  Because the business combination was achieved in stages, the Company re-measured its previously held equity interest in Ramgen at its acquisition-date fair value and recognized the resulting loss of $18.3 in other expense, net.  The Company has a history of bringing new products to market and as a result of its ability and commitment to continue pursuit of commercialization of

35

the supersonic compressor, was able to negotiate a purchase price for which the fair value of identifiable assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred.  As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration paid of $6.6 as a gain in other expense, net.  The acquisition of Ramgen is discussed more fully in Note 3, Acquisitions and Other Investments, in the consolidated financial statementsincluded herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.  Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2013, was impacted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013.  As a result of this devaluation, the Company recorded a non-deductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  A summary of the major components of other expense, net is included in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

Provision for income taxes.  Provision for income taxes was $61.2 for the year ended December 31, 2014, and $88.2 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The effective tax rate for 2014 was 33.0% compared to 34.2% for 2013.  Our estimated income tax provisions for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% because of different tax rates in foreign tax jurisdictions and certain exemptions and credits allowable for income tax purposes, partially offset by state and local income taxes, and valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards that more-likely-than-not will not be realized.  We will adjust the valuation allowances in the future if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, is principally due to a change in the mix of foreign earnings and incremental benefits of foreign tax credits. The Company was able to benefit from previously unrecognized foreign tax credits.The total impact of these items reduces the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, by approximately 5.1 percentage points.

On August 8, 2014, the Company acquired Ramgen, an entity in which the Company held an equity interest immediately preceding the acquisition date.  The acquisition of Ramgen is discussed more fully in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.  The net pre-tax loss recognized on the Ramgen acquisition which is included in other expense, net in the consolidated financial statements, reduced the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, by 1.4 percentage points.

This decrease is offset by an increased amount of net operating losses in certain foreign countries, for which we could not record benefits under U.S. GAAP, thus increasing the effective tax rate by approximately 3.3 percentage points.

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act (“ATRA”) of 2012 was signed into law. Some of the provisions were retroactive to January 1, 2012, including the “look through” exclusion from U.S. federal taxable income of certain interest, dividends, rents, and royalty income of foreign affiliates, as well as the tax benefits of the credits associated with that income and an extension of the research and experimentation credit. Therefore, as required by U.S. GAAP, a $4.4 benefit was reflected in the year ended December 31, 2013 as a discrete event. The look through exemption for foreign earnings provisions and the research and experimentation credit was extended in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The impact of the 2013 retroactive extension of these provisions caused an increase in the 2014 effective tax rate of approximately 1.7 percentage points as compared to the 2013 effective tax rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from its current earnings to the U.S. of $14.9, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $7.1. The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, is a benefit of 3.0%. In June 2014, the Company decided to change its assertion with respect to the unremitted earnings of its Indian subsidiary and paid a cash dividend to the U.S. This change in management philosophy was due to the restrictive Indian exchange control laws prohibiting certain business uses of the cash being generated in India. The tax impact of this change in assertion and dividend paid resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $0.8.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from current earnings to the U.S. parent company of$47.5, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $10.6.  The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, was a benefit of 3.4%.  

As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013, the Company recorded a nondeductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Had this amount been deductible, our effective tax rate would have been 0.4% lower for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

36

Certain foreign subsidiaries are operating under tax holiday arrangements that began expiring during 2014, subject to potential extensions.  For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of these tax holiday arrangements lowered income tax expense by $7.6  ($0.10 per diluted share) and$9.1  ($0.12 per diluted share), respectively.

Except for earnings of our Indian subsidiary, and certain current earnings of our Luxembourg subsidiary remitted in 2014 and 2013, management has decided to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and, therefore, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided on those foreign earnings. If any indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings are distributed, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits), as well as withholding taxes imposed by certain foreign jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has accumulated undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $431.9.

Noncontrolling interest.  Noncontrolling interest includes the share of net income and net losses in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by us.

Bookings and backlog.   Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $2,763.2 compared to $2,941.4 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $178.2 or 6.1%. The decline in oil prices in the three months ended December 31, 2014, had a significant impact on bookings as clients delayed the placement of expected new unit orders and slowed the placement of aftermarket orders in the September to November period but significantly increased order levels in December.  In addition, due to closing of the Spanish cogeneration plants, our 2014 aftermarket bookings are lower by approximately $106.0.  The decrease in bookings was partially offset by an increase in aftermarket parts orders, particularly in the U.S. and Latin America. Backlog was $2,701.0 at December 31, 2014, compared to $2,849.0 at December 31, 2013.

New Units

Revenues.  Revenues for this segment were $1,419.9 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1,524.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $104.2 or 6.8%.  The business impact of oil prices, other macroeconomic conditions and the timing and size of orders on this segment is more fully described above in the Revenues caption in the section titled Year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.  Based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, volumes decreased during the year ended December 31, 2014, principally as a result of the timing issues discussed in the section referenced above.  Specifically, we have been impacted by previously announced delays by the Company’s end-user clients in placing equipment orders for major projects, mostly for upstream applications and, in particular, following the sudden drop in oil prices during the second half of the year. An adverse translation impact of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $21.5, resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar, also contributed to the decrease in revenues. The decrease in revenue on extended scope projects, which are accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting, was $98.1 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $220.9 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $250.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Gross profit, as a percentage of segment revenues, was 15.6% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 16.4% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  We experienced decreased gross profit as a percentage of sales in our new units segment primarily due to reduced operating leverage on fixed costs as a result of lower volumes. 

Income from operations.  Income from operations was $111.5 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $140.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As a percentage of segment revenues, income from operations was 7.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 9.2% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Income from operations as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year as a result of the factors discussed above.

Bookings and backlog.New units bookings for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $1,233.0 compared to $1,331.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The decrease in bookings is primarily a result of the timing issues discussed above in the Revenues caption in the section titled Year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Backlog was $1,911.7 at December 31, 2014, compared to $2,187.7 at December 31, 2013.

Aftermarket Parts and Services

Revenues.  Revenues for this segment were $1,391.8 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1,508.5 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $116.7 or 7.7%.  Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time, but less so in this segment. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. Aftermarket bookings were strong in the three months ended December 31, 2014, but as a result of the precipitous drop in oil prices, more than half of the fourth quarter bookings came in December which precluded converting those orders to revenues in the period. The decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014, is also attributable to the closure of our cogeneration facilities in Spain.  In connection with the closure of the six cogeneration plants as discussed above, our 2014 revenues were lower by approximately $106.0.  An adverse translation impact of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $19.7, resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar, also contributed to the decrease in revenues.

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $507.8 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $535.0 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014, of 36.5% increased from 35.5% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased principally due to the closure of our Spanish cogeneration facilities, which historically have generated relatively low margins, and higher parts margins, partially offset by lower operating leverage on fixed costs caused by lower volumes and severance cost associated with the closure of operations at six of the Company’s cogeneration facilities in Spain.

Fixed asset impairment of cogeneration facilities.The Spanish government published a ministerial order on June 20, 2014, that reflected a reduction in existing tariffs of approximately 38%, which was retroactive to July 2013. The enacted order was issued in draft form in February 2014 and is an implementation order of a law that was passed in 2013.  The 2013 law did not have sufficient specificity to reasonably estimate the change in the tariff without the further order, but did provide that the existing tariffs would be paid on a provisional basis until the order was issued.  Before the initial draft was issued, the Company believed there would not be a material change in the tariff, and therefore did not believe that assets would be impaired. Once the initial draft was issued, the Company determined that operating the cogeneration facilities would not be economical under the reduced tariff level and decided to suspend operations at the facilities.  Because the initial draft related to the 2013 law, the Company recorded the resulting impairment charge of $40.0 in the three months ended December 31, 2013.

38

Income from operations.  Income from operations was $299.4 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $295.7 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As a percentage of segment revenues, income from operations increased to 21.5% for the year ended December 31, 2014, from 19.6% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The changes in income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of segment revenues resulted principally from the factors discussed above, and were partially offset by less operating leverage on fixed selling and administrative costs caused by lower volumes.

Bookings and backlog.Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $1,530.2, compared to $1,610.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in bookings for the year ended December 31, 2014, is primarily attributable to the cessation of operations at our six cogeneration facilities in Spain.  In connection with the change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish ministerial order discussed above, our 2014 bookings are lower by approximately $106.0. Bookings during the year ended December 31, 2013, also included a large long-term service agreement to provide energy in Brazil. The decrease in bookings was partially offset by an increase in aftermarket parts orders, particularly in the U.S. and Latin America. Backlog was $789.3 at December 31, 2014, compared to $661.3 at December 31, 2013.

Revenues.   Revenues were $3,032.6 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $2,736.4 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $296.2 or 10.8%. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a direct correlation of short-term volatility in these factors to our periodic financial results. Fluctuations in revenues and bookings are generally due to variability in the timing and size of very large orders in the new units segment, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. This occurs because our equipment, in many cases, is used in very large capital projects that take years to plan and execute, and such projects do not occur on a regular or consistent basis due to their size, location, technical resources, client capital expenditure constraints and long-term relationship to global energy supply and demand. While a change in these factors at a macroeconomic level will tend to have a corresponding overall effect on our revenue in future periods, the timing of such effect on our quarterly or even annual revenues is not directly correlated because of the generally long lead times required to engineer, manufacture and test new equipment before delivery. Furthermore, the highly engineered nature of our worldwide products and services does not easily lend itself to measuring the impact of price, volume and mix on changes in our total revenues from year to year. Nevertheless, based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, revenues increased due to higher volume during the year ended December 31, 2013, as a result of the timing issues discussed above.  Price increases in the aftermarket parts and services segment also contributed incremental revenues, albeit to a much lesser extent.  These

39

increases were partially offset by negative impacts from our six cogeneration facilities in Spain which we acquired in our acquisition of Guascor.  The Spanish government published a draft regulation at the end of January 2014 that reflects a reduction in the tariffs of approximately 37%, which was finalized in June 2014 and was retroactive to July 2013.  In connection with the regulation being issued, 2013 revenues are lower by approximately $23.7 as a result of the retroactive reduction of the tariffs which partially offsets the overall increase in revenues.  An adverse translation impact of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $28.5, resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar, also partially offset the increase in revenues.  The increase in revenue on extended scope projects, which are accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting, was $175.7 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales was $2,247.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $2,004.3 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 74.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to 73.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012.   The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues from the year ended December 31, 2012, to the year ended December 31, 2013, was partially the result of a shift in mix from our aftermarket segment to our new units segment.  A shift in the mix of projects within the new units segment also contributed to higher cost of sales as a percentage of revenues.  The change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above contributed approximately 0.5% to the increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues.  These factors were partially offset by improved operating leverage on fixed costs from higher volumes.  

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $785.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $732.1 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 25.9% for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to 26.8% for the year ended December 31, 2012.  We experienced decreased gross profit as a percentage of revenues as a result of the factors discussed above.

Selling and administrative expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses were $385.5 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $365.8 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  While we were able to achieve greater operating leverage on administrative costs, an increase in selling and administrative expenses was generally the result of increased selling activity and cost inflation.  As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 12.7% from 13.4%.

Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $38.8 compared to $30.4 for the year ended December 31, 2012. We continue to effectively execute our strategy to introduce new and innovative products and technologies with a focus on key new product development initiatives for DATUM®, DATUM® Integrated Compression System (“ICS”), subsea compression, LNG, steam turbines and reciprocating engines.  The increase in research and development expenses is related to strategic projects that are expected to be in demonstration or launch phases during the next twelve months.  It is typical that projects entering this phase of development incur higher procurement and testing expenses when compared to design related activities that occur earlier in the development lifecycle.

Fixed asset impairment of cogeneration facilities.In view of the change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above, we have closed the operations at our six cogeneration facilities.

The Spanish regulation was a clarification of a law that was passed in 2013, as the law did not have sufficient specificity to reasonably estimate the tariff at that time.  Subsequently, as a result of the reduced tariff we believe an impairment triggering event occurred in 2013 and recorded an impairment charge of $40.0 in 2013 to reduce the value of the property, plant and equipment.  At the time of the acquisition, we did not record any specific intangible assets related to the cogeneration facilities.

Income from operations.  Income from operations was $321.0 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $335.9 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $14.9 or 4.4%.  As a percentage of revenues, income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, was 10.6%, compared to 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The decrease in income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of revenues is the result of the factors discussed above.  The change in tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation reduced income from operations as a percentage of sales by approximately 0.6%.  The fixed asset impairment charge reduced operating income as a percentage of sales by approximately 1.3%.

Interest expense, net.  Interest expense, net was $46.9 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $60.2 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Near the end of 2012, we settled a dispute with a former non-controlling equity holder of one of our subsidiaries.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, interest cost associated with the dispute was estimated and accrued at a higher interest rate than the interest rate ultimately agreed to be paid over the remaining term of the note.  Interest cost for the year ended December 31, 2013, included the lower negotiated rate which lowered interest expense.  In addition, Enviroil, entered into a settlement agreement in September 2013, in which the counterparty agreed to waive

40

sanctions, interest and other related costs that the counterparty had previously claimed, and the Company had previously accrued.  Accordingly, upon entering into the settlement agreement, the interest portion of this accrual was reversed in 2013, resulting in a reduction in interest expense of $6.5.  The remaining component of the Enviroil settlement was paid by the sellers of Guascor directly to the counterparty pursuant to an indemnification agreement in the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Other expense, net.  Other expense, net was $16.6 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to other expense, net of $0.0 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Other expense, net, consists principally of net currency gains and losses and earnings and losses on investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  The change in other expense, net is principally the result of losses on equity method investments and foreign currency fluctuations for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Other expense, net was also impacted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013.  As a result of this devaluation, the Company recorded a non-deductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  A summary of the major components of other expense, net is included in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

Provision for income taxes.  Provision for income taxes was $88.2 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and $92.8 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for 2013 was 34.2% compared to 33.7% for 2012.  Our estimated income tax provisions for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, result in effective rates that differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally because of different tax rates in foreign tax jurisdictions and certain exemptions and credits allowable for income tax purposes, partially offset by state and local income taxes, and valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards that more-likely-than-not will not be realized.  We will adjust the valuation allowances in the future if and when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act (“ATRA”) of 2012 was signed into law. Some of the provisions were retroactive to January 1, 2012, including the exclusion from U.S. federal taxable income of certain interest, dividends, rents, and royalty income of foreign affiliates, as well as the tax benefits of the credits associated with that income and an extension of the research and experimentation credit. As required by U.S. GAAP, a $4.4 benefit was reflected in the three months ended March 31, 2013, as a discrete event. Furthermore, no benefits were reflected in 2012 and the benefits are being reflected in 2013, affecting the comparability of the 2012 and 2013 effective tax rates.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from current earnings to the U.S. parent company of $47.5, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $10.6.  The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, is a benefit of 3.4%.

The change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above results in a deferred tax asset which more-likely-than-not will not be realized, and we have recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset which has increased the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, by 5.0%.

We have reached a settlement with the French tax authorities on an uncertain tax position related to our French operations.  Consequently, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions of approximately $2.3 has been released and a corresponding current tax liability has been recorded for $1.2.  The net impact to the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, is an increase of 0.4%.

As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013, the Company recorded a non-deductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Had this amount been deductible, our effective tax rate would have been 0.4% lower for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Certain foreign subsidiaries in Brazil and India are operating under tax holiday arrangements that will expire during 2014 and 2015, respectively, subject to potential extensions.  For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the impact of these tax holiday arrangements lowered income tax expense by $9.1 ($0.12 per diluted share) and $2.1 ($0.03 per diluted share), respectively.

Noncontrolling interest.  Noncontrolling interest includes the share of net income and net losses in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by us.

Bookings and backlog.   Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $2,941.4 compared to $3,162.8 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $221.4 or 7.0%. The Company believes that the decrease in bookings is due

41

to (1) delays in major upstream projects by our end-user clients in an effort to address their escalating capital costs relating to those projects and (2) engineering resource constraints being experienced by our end-user clients and their third-party contractors.  In addition, in view of the change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above, our 2013 aftermarket bookings are lower by approximately $23.7 related to the retroactive reduction of the tariffs.  Backlog was $2,849.0 at December 31, 2013, compared to $2,946.0 at December 31, 2012.

New Units

Revenues.  Revenues for this segment were $1,524.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $1,301.6 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $222.5 or 17.1%.  The business impact of oil prices, other macroeconomic conditions and the timing and size of orders on this segment is more fully described above in the Revenues caption in the section titled Year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.  Based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, volumes increased during the year ended December 31, 2013, principally as a result of the timing issues discussed in the section referenced above.  The increase in revenue on extended scope projects, which are accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting, was $175.7 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  An adverse translation impact of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $9.2, resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset the increase in revenues.

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $250.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $215.9 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Gross profit, as a percentage of segment revenues, was 16.4% for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to 16.6% for the year ended December 31, 2012.  We experienced decreased gross profit as a percentage of sales in our new units segment primarily due to a shift in mix during the period, which was substantially offset by better operating leverage on fixed costs. 

Income from operations.  Income from operations was $140.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $117.9 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  As a percentage of segment revenues, income from operations was 9.2% for

42

the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to 9.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Income from operations as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the prior year as a result of the factors discussed above and operating leverage on general and administrative costs.

Bookings and backlog.New units bookings for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $1,331.3 compared to $1,630.0 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company believes that the decrease in bookings is due to (1) delays in major upstream projects by our end-user clients in an effort to address their escalating capital costs relating to those projects and (2) engineering resource constraints being experienced by our end-user clients and their third-party contractors.   Backlog was $2,187.7 at December 31, 2013, compared to $2,370.6 at December 31, 2012.

Aftermarket Parts and Services

Revenues.  Revenues for this segment were $1,508.5 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $1,434.8 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $73.7 or 5.1%. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time, but less so in this segment. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company experienced aftermarket growth in most geographic segments, but particularly in Europe and Latin America, resulting in higher volumes.  In view of the change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above, our 2013 revenues are lower by approximately $23.7 related to the retroactive reduction of the tariffs, which partially offsets the overall increase in revenues.  An adverse translation impact of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $19.3, resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset the increase in revenues. 

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $535.0 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $516.2 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, of 35.5% decreased from 36.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenues declined by approximately 0.9% because of the change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above which was substantially offset by mix, operating leverage and price increases.

Fixed asset impairment of cogeneration facilities.As a result of the change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above, we have closed the operations at our cogeneration facilities in Spain.

The regulation is a clarification of a law that was passed in 2013 as the law did not have sufficient specificity to reasonably estimate the tariff.  Consequently, we believe an impairment triggering event occurred in 2013 and have recorded an impairment charge of $40.0 in 2013 to reduce the value of the property, plant and equipment.  At the time of the acquisition, we did not record any specific intangible assets related to the cogeneration facilities.

Income from operations.  Income from operations was $295.7 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $323.2 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  As a percentage of segment revenues, income from operations decreased to 19.6% for the year ended December 31, 2013, from 22.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The changes in income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of segment revenues resulted principally from the reasons discussed above.  The change in tariffs in the Spanish legislation and the related impairment reduced operating income as a percentage of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, by 1.2% and 2.6%, respectively.

Bookings and backlog.Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $1,610.1, compared to $1,532.8 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The $77.3 or 5.0% increase from December 31, 2012, to December 31, 2013, is principally attributable to booking fifteen months of a large long-term service agreement to provide energy in Brazil in accordance with our bookings policy. The retroactive change in the tariffs reflected in the Spanish regulation discussed above reduced 2013 aftermarket bookings by approximately $23.7, which partially offset the increase in bookings. Backlog was $661.3 at December 31, 2013, compared to $575.4 at December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Liquidity

As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $183.4 and the ability to borrow $653.6 under the $1,160.5 revolving portion of our Amended Credit Facility, as $72.8 was used for outstanding letters of credit and $434.1 of borrowings was outstanding.  In addition to these letters of credit, $264.4 of letters of credit and bank guarantees were outstanding at December 31, 2014, which were issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit.  At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.  Our more significant debt covenants are described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

43

As of December 31, 2014, approximately $174.5 of our cash was held outside of the U.S.  Except for approximately $7.9 of cash held by our Venezuelan subsidiary, there are no legal restrictions regarding repatriation from any of the countries outside of the U.S. where we have cash; however, as of December 31, 2014, approximately $148.7 of our cash is not available for general corporate use in the U.S. because such cumulative earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in foreign countries or foreign markets. Except for earnings of our Indian subsidiary, and certaincurrent earnings of our Luxembourg subsidiary remitted in 2014 and 2013, discussed in Note 10to the consolidated financial statements included herein inItem 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules, we have no other plans to repatriate any of the foreign-based cash or unremitted earnings based on our intended uses of the foreign-based cash and our existing cash and cash equivalents balances in the U.S. If additional foreign funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we will be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes, net of applicable foreign tax credits, to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside the U.S.

Although there can be no assurances, based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, interest payments and other funding requirements for the next 12 months and our long-term future contractual obligations in the U.S. and in foreign countries. 

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $254.8, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $66.8 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in cash provided by operations in the year ended December 31, 2014, is principally the result of a modest reduction in our investment in working capital for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the significant increase in working capital for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Accounts receivable decreased for the year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of timely cash collections from clients.  Accounts payable and accruals decreased for the year ended December 31, 2014, principally as a result of the timing of payments.  Higher customer advances are attributable to a higher percentage of business with large independent oil company clients.  In addition, we made $15.0 of minimum required pension contributions in the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $21.6 in the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with our funding policy.

Net cash used in investing activities was $74.0for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $83.5 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Capital expenditures decreased to$58.0 for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $82.6 for the year ended December 31, 2013.During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we loaned $18.6 to Bethel Holdco, LLC (“Bethel”), which is constructing a CAES facility in Texas, and $2.1 to Gaelectric CAES NI Ltd, a CAES project in its initial stages of development. We also invested an additional $3.5 in Echogen during the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to total additional investments of $13.4 in Bethel, Echogen and Ramgen for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The Bethel loan receivable and the additional investments in Echogen are discussed more fully in Note 3to the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

Net cash used in financing activities was $175.3 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of$232.3 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Included in net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014, are $1,016.0 of borrowings to fund operating cash flows and $1,192.2 of repayments on the Company’s prior credit facility and the Amended Credit Facility.  Additional borrowings on the Amended Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily relate to changes in working capital requirements and our ability to take advantage of favorable interest rates.  Management views the Amended Credit Facility as a cost efficient funding mechanism and uses it as a primary source of funding.

The Company is required to maintain sinking funds associated with certain of its borrowings, generally based on the short-term debt service requirements of such borrowings. Sinking fund requirements totaled $3.3 at December 31, 2014, and have been classified as restricted cash in the current assets section of the consolidated balance sheet.

We provide a range of benefits to employees and retired former employees, including pensions, post-retirement, post-employment and healthcare benefits. We have considered the impact of the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) on our post-retirement medical benefit plans as of December 31, 2014.  Although there are a number of aspects of the PPACA that could affect our plans, none of these provisions have had a measurable impact on our post-retirement medical benefit plan liabilities.

In the aggregate, our pension plans at December 31, 2014, were unfunded by approximately $83.1.  We contributed approximately $15.0and $21.6 to our plans in 2014 and 2013, respectively, and currently project that we will contribute approximately $3.9 to our plans in 2015. 

44

In 2014, the Company amended its U.S. defined benefit pension plans related to lump sum benefit eligibility, and began notifying certain former employees of the Company’s offer to pay those employees’ vested pension benefit in a lump sum.  The Company offered the one-time voluntary lump sum payout in an effort to reduce its long-term pension obligations, administration costs, premiums and ongoing annual pension expense.  The Company made payments during 2014 of approximately $12.9 to former employees who accepted the offer by the deadline.  These payments were funded from existing pension plan assets and reduced the Company’s total qualified pension plan liabilities by $16.5.  Settlement accounting was not required as the total lump sum payments during 2014 were below the minimum settlement accounting thresholds for the plans.

Our total other post-retirement benefit liability of $16.2, consisting primarily of healthcare and life insurance benefits, is not funded and is described in Note 13to the consolidated financial statements included herein inItem 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

The asset allocations of our pension plans by asset category as well as our investment objectives and fair value measurement categorizations are described in Note 12to the consolidated financial statements included herein inItem 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

Contractual Obligations (€ in millions)

The following is a summary of our significant estimated future contractual obligations, including amounts relating to the operating lease mentioned below, by year as of December 31, 2014:

	Payments Due by Period
	Total		2015		2016-2017		2018-2019		Thereafter
Debt obligations	$	1,083.7	$	30.1	$	41.3	$	634.3	$	378.0
Interest		154.4		24.3		48.8		48.8		32.5
Pension and postemployment benefits		273.6		24.4		50.7		54.4		144.1
Operating lease obligations		69.7		18.7		27.4		10.5		13.1
Total	$	1,581.4	$	97.5	$	168.2	$	748.0	$	567.7

On December 28, 2007, the Company executed a lease transaction including a committed line of credit of up to €23.0 (approximately $27.8) that was used to fund construction of a new compressor testing facility (the “Facility”) in close proximity to the Company’s operation in France. The Company began leasing the Facility in January 2010, and is required to pay rent during the initial base term of the lease in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest payable by the lessor on the outstanding principal amount of the debt incurred by the lessor. Interest is determined by reference to the EURIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin. At maturity, the Company may either terminate or, subject to the mutual agreement, extend the lease. The Company may purchase the Facility at any time for the amount of the lessor’s debt outstanding, including upon maturity of the lease. If the lease is terminated, the Company has guaranteed that the lessor will receive at least 80% of the cost of the Facility upon the sale of the Facility. The operating lease contains representations, warranties and covenants typical of such leases. Any event of default could accelerate the Company’s payments under the terms of the lease.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the Facility lease. The interest rate swap and the lease are more fully described in Notes 14 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively, included herein in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

On February 12, 2015, the initial base term of the Company’s lease of the Facility expired and was terminated. On the same day, (i) the Company’s interest rate swap agreement utilized to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease expired, and (ii) the Company purchased the Facility for approximately €23.1 (approximately $26.1).

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this
Form 10-K in Item 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules, includes a summary of significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes what we believe are the critical accounting policies and methods we use:

45

Revenue recognition —We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the product or service has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client, risk of loss has transferred to the client, and either any required client acceptance has been obtained (or such provisions have lapsed) or we have objective evidence that the criteria specified in the client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The amount of revenue related to any contingency is not recognized until the contingency is resolved.

Multiple-element arrangements

A substantial portion of our arrangements are multiple-element revenue arrangements or contracts, where multiple products and/or services are involved. Products involved in multiple-element arrangements may include centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, power turbines, power recovery expanders, reciprocating compressors, steam turbines and engines. Our typical arrangement includes one of our classes of compressors and a driver (e.g., a motor, turbine or an engine).  In addition to our products, we perform installation and commissioning, training, and other services, and we purchase any number of standard or engineered items from third parties (“buyouts”) that support the application in which our equipment is being used.  Generally, buyouts, installation and commissioning, training and each of our products listed above are considered separate deliverables for a number of reasons, including the following:

· Clients would purchase each of those products or services apart from other products or services;

· The products and services being provided are at the request of the client and for the client’s sole benefit, apart from any other product or service in the transaction;

· The other deliverables can be performed without the service or product in question being performed or delivered;

· Contractual payments are typically tied to the delivery or performance of the specific product or service;

· The skills or equipment required to perform the services are readily available in the marketplace; and

· Clients attribute significant value to each product or service.

These contracts generally can take fifteen months or more to complete, but occasionally may take longer.  The timing between the first deliverable and the last deliverable is generally three to twelve months, and services are typically delivered last.     

Because the aforementioned separate deliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis, they are typically considered separate units of accounting.  The entire contract value is allocated to each unit of accounting. Revenue allocated to products is recognized upon delivery, while revenue allocated to services is recognized when the service is performed.  We use the selling price hierarchy described below to determine how to separate multiple-element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting:

· Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).

· Third-party evidence (“TPE”), if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available.

· Estimated selling price (“ESP”), determined in the same manner as that used to determine the price at which we sell the deliverables on a stand-alone basis, if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available.

In substantially all of our multi-element arrangements, we use ESP to allocate arrangement consideration. We determine ESP based on our normal pricing and discounting practices. In determining ESP, we apply significant judgment as we weigh a variety of factors, based on the facts of the arrangement. We typically arrive at an ESP by considering client and entity-specific factors such as existing pricing, price discounts, geographies, competition, internal costs and profitability objectives.

Our sales arrangements do not include a general right of return of the delivered unit(s).  In certain cases, the cancellation terms of a contract provide us with the opportunity to bill for certain incurred costs and penalties.

If it is determined that the separate deliverables do not have value on a stand-alone basis, the entire arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting, which results in revenue being recognized when the last unit is delivered based on the revenue recognition policy described above.

It is uncommon for the Company to have material contract scope adjustments that impact the selling price for specific units of accounting that would result in material changes in the allocation of the selling price.  In the event of such an

46

adjustment, we apply the change in the allocation of the selling price to the units of accounting that are not yet delivered.  As our business and offerings evolve over time, our pricing practices may be required to be modified accordingly, which could result in changes in selling prices in subsequent periods.  Historically, there have been no material impacts, nor do we currently expect material impacts in the next twelve months, on our revenue recognition due to changes in our VSOE, TPE or ESP.

Percentage of completion contracts

We also enter into certainlarge contracts with expanded construction-type scope and risk.  These contractual arrangements have a scope of activity that differs in substance from the scope of deliverables found in our traditional sales arrangements. Revenue from these contracts is recognized as contract performance progresses using the percentage of completion method. We estimate the progress towards completion to determine the amount of revenue and profit to be recognized in each reporting period, based upon estimates of the total labor cost and labor converted material cost to complete the project; estimates of the project schedule and completion date; estimates of the extent of progress toward completion; and amounts of any probable claims and change orders included in revenue. Progress is generally based upon a labor dollars approach but we also use alternative methods including cost to cost, depending on the type of arrangement.

At the outset of each contract, we prepare a detailed analysis of our estimated cost to complete the project. Risks relating to service delivery, usage, productivity and other factors are considered in the estimation process. Our project personnel periodically evaluate the estimated costs, claims, change orders and percentage of completion at the project level. The recording of profits and losses on contracts requires an estimate of the total profit or loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of total contract value, change orders and claims, less costs incurred and estimated costs to complete. Our contracts often contain provisions for liquidated damages should we not meet certain performance requirements, including completion of the project in accordance with a scheduled timeline. We generally include an estimate of liquidated damages as a reduction of revenue when it is deemed probable that they will be paid. Profits are recorded based upon the product of estimated contract profit at completion times the current percentage of completion for the contract.

At least quarterly, significant projects are reviewed in detail by senior management. There are many factors that impact future costs, including but not limited to weather, inflation, labor and community disruptions, timely availability of materials, productivity and other factors as outlined in Item 1ARisk Factors, in this Form 10-K. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future reported earnings.

We estimate the future costs and estimated gross profit that will be incurred related to sales arrangements to determine whether any arrangement will result in a loss. These costs include material, labor and overhead. Factors influencing these future costs include the availability of materials and skilled laborers.

We record provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are identified.  The cumulative effects of revisions to contract revenue and estimated completion costs are recorded in the accounting period in which the amounts become evident and can be reasonably estimated.  These revisions can include such items as the effects of change orders and claims, warranty claims, liquidated damages or other contractual penalties, adjustments for audit findings on U.S. government contracts and contract closeout settlements.  During 2014, 2013 and 2012, we did not record any material provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts.

Inventories — We purchase materials for the manufacture of components for use in both our new units and aftermarket parts and services segments. The decision to purchase a set quantity of a particular item is influenced by several factors including: current and projected cost; future estimated availability; existing and projected contracts to produce certain items; and the estimated needs for our aftermarket parts and services business. We value our inventory at the lower of cost (generally, first-in first-out or average) or market value. We estimate the net realizable value of our inventories and establish reserves to reduce the carrying amount of these inventories to the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) as necessary.

Income taxes — Our effective tax rate is based on income before income taxes and the tax rates applicable to that income in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. An estimated effective tax rate for the year is applied to the Company’s quarterly operating results. In the event that there is a significant unusual or discrete item recognized, or expected to be recognized, in the Company’s quarterly operating results, the tax attributable to that item is separately calculated and recorded at the same time as the unusual or discrete item. We consider the resolution of prior tax matters to be such items. Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. We establish tax accruals for uncertain tax positions if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will not be sustained upon examination through any appeals and litigation processes based on the technical merits of the position at the largest amount of benefit

47

that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We adjust these accruals in light of changing facts and circumstances.

Tax regulations may require items of income and expense to be included in the tax return that are not reflected in the current year’s consolidated financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on the tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as depreciation expense, which is recognized over different periods in the income tax return and the consolidated financial statements. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as tax deductions or credits in the tax return in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that the amount of expected future taxable income will not support the use of the deduction or credit. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for which the related tax payment has been deferred or an expense for which we have already taken a deduction on the income tax return, but has not yet been recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the effective tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements may be different than the tax rate reported in income tax returns.

Employee benefit plans — We provide a range of benefits to employees and retired former employees, including pensions, post-retirement, postemployment and healthcare benefits. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, employee mortality and turnover rates, and healthcare cost trend rates. Independent actuaries perform the required calculations to determine expense in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally accumulated and amortized over future periods. We review our actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and make modifications to the assumptions based on then current rates and trends if appropriate to do so. The discount rate, the rate of compensation increase and the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are determined as of the measurement date. The discount rate reflects a rate at which pension benefits could be effectively settled. The discount rate is established and based primarily on the yields of high quality fixed-income investments available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension and post-retirement benefits. We also review the yields reported by Moody’s on AA corporate bonds as of the measurement date. The rate of compensation increase is dependent on expected future compensation levels. The expected long-term rates of return are projected to be the rates of return to be earned over the period until the benefits are paid. Accordingly, the long-term rates of return should reflect the rates of return on present investments, expected contributions to be received during the current year and on reinvestments over the period. The rates of return utilized reflect the expected rates of return during the periods for which the payment of benefits is deferred. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used is based on what is realistically achievable based on the types of assets held by the plans and the plan’s investment policy. We review each plan and its returns and asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording our obligations under our plans are reasonable based on input from our actuaries, outside investment advisors and information as to assumptions used by plan sponsors.

A 1% change in the medical cost trend rate assumed for post-retirement benefits would have the following effects for the year ended and as of December 31, 2014:  

	1% Increase		1% Decrease
Effect on total post-retirement benefit expense	$	0.1	$	(0.1)
Effect on post-retirement benefit liability		1.4		(1.2)

Commitments and contingencies — We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including environmental matters, arising in the normal course of business. We have recorded reserves in the consolidated financial statements related to these matters which are developed based on consultation with legal counsel and internal and external consultants and engineers, depending on the nature of the reserve. We provide for environmental accruals when, in conjunction with our internal and external counsel, we determine that a liability is both probable and reasonably estimable. Factors that affect the recorded amount of any liability in the future include: our participation percentage due to a settlement by, or bankruptcy of, other potentially responsible parties; a change in the environmental laws requiring more stringent requirements; a change in the estimate of future costs that will be incurred to remediate the site; and changes in technology related to environmental remediation. We have property and casualty insurance to cover such liabilities, but there is no guarantee that the coverage will be sufficient.

We have accrued liabilities for product liability claims, workers’ compensation matters and product warranty issues. We have recorded liabilities in our consolidated financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical, anticipated experience data and the judgment of counsel depending on the

48

nature of the accrued liability. We believe our estimated liabilities are reasonable. If the level of claims changes or if the cost to provide the benefits related to these claims should change, our estimate of the underlying liability may change.

Goodwill, other intangible assets and fixed assets — We have significant goodwill, other intangible assets  and fixed assets on our consolidated balance sheet. The valuation and classification of these assets and the assignment of depreciation and amortization lives involves significant judgments and the use of estimates. The testing of these assets under established accounting guidelines for impairment also requires significant use of judgment and assumptions, particularly as it relates to the identification of reporting units and the determination of fair market value. We believe that our estimates and assumptions used are reasonable. Changes in business conditions could potentially require future adjustments to these valuations.

The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test described below.  If the Company believes that, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed.  Qualitative indicators including deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, or a sustained decrease in share price, among other things, may trigger the need for a quantitative impairment test of goodwill for a reporting unit.

The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment is performed at August 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired.  For instance, a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below book value, a significant change in business climate, as well as the qualitative indicators referenced above, may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill for one or all of its reporting units.

The Company chose not to perform a qualitative analysis, but rather utilized a quantitative impairment test for its reporting units.  The first step of the quantitative test involves comparing the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units with its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed.  The second step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of its goodwill.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding charge to operating expense.

In the quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units by weighting the results from the income approach(discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (guideline public company method).  Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions.  Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, weighted average costs of capital, future market conditions and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry, among others.  The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in its impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated.  Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted to present value using risk-adjusted industry discount rates, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Cash flow projections are derived from operating forecasts, which are evaluated by management.  Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur, along with a terminal value derived from the reporting unit’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Under the guideline public company method, the Company determines fair value based on earnings multiples from publicly traded companies within our industry with economic prospects similar to each reporting unit. The selected multiples consider each reporting unit’s relative growth, profitability, size and risk relative to the selected guideline public companies.

The following table presents the significant estimates used by management in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units at August 31, 2014:

Years of cash flows before terminal value	5
Terminal growth rate	2.4%
Weighted average cost of capital	9.5%

Management also considered the sensitivity of its fair value estimates to changes in certain valuation assumptions and, after giving consideration to at least a 10% decrease in the fair value of the Company’s new units reporting unit, the results

49

of the assessment did not change.  However, circumstances such as market declines, unfavorable economic conditions, or other factors could impact the valuation of goodwill in future periods.

As a result of the decline in oil prices during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company evaluated the likelihood that goodwill had fallen below the carrying value of any of its reporting units.  Due to the offer price in the proposed merger with Siemens, described further in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, included herein inItem 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units is greater than their carrying value.

The Company amortizes its other intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, included herein inItem 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules,  for additional details regarding the components and estimated useful lives of intangible assets.

The preparation of all financial statements includes the use of estimates and assumptions that affect a number of amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. If actual amounts are ultimately different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which the actual amounts become known or better estimates can be made.

New Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted or is required to adopt certain new accounting standards which are described in Note 2, New Accounting Standards to the consolidated financial statements, none of which have had, or are expected to have, a material effect on the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ($ in millions)

Our results of operations are affected by fluctuations in the value of local currencies in which we transact business. The most significant exposures are to the euro, and to a lesser extent, the Brazilian real, the Indian rupee, the Norwegian krone and the British pound.  Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. consolidated entities that use the local currency as the functional currency are translated at period-end exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated using weighted average-for-the-period exchange rates.  The effect on our results of operations of fluctuations in currency exchange rates depends on various currency exchange rates and the magnitude of the transactions completed in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Generally, a weakening of the U.S. dollar improves our reported results when the local currency financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar impacts our results negatively.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss were $(123.2), primarily due to the weakening of the euro of approximately 12.0%. An adverse hypothetical 1% change in the exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2014, would result in a translation impact on revenues and operating income by approximately $13.8 and $1.7, respectively.

We maintain a minimal level of Venezuelan bolivars, consistent with the needs of our local operations.  At December 31, 2014, cash held in Venezuelan Bolivars was approximately $2.2, and is included in the net monetary asset balance of $5.6.

We enter into financial instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on transactions when we deem appropriate.  Net foreign currency losses were $35.9, $15.5 and $1.1 for the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France. The interest rate swap agreement is described further in Note 14,  Financial Instrumentsto the consolidated financial statements included herein in Item 15Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on the evaluation performed, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, was effective. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, as stated in their report, which appears in Item 15 Exhibits, Financial Statements and Schedules of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2014, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION(shown in whole $)

On February 24, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved the establishment of a one-time Executive Retention Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) to promote retention of designated key executive level employees, including certain of the Company’s named executive officers, following and conditioned on the closing of the Merger.  For the participating named executive officers, the Plan provides a maximum cash award opportunity based on the achievement of two metrics.  Metric 1 (Planning) constitutes one-third of the total target bonus opportunity and relates to delivery of detailed action plans by year from 2016-2019, including financial targets to achieve acquisition-related run-rate synergies and costs by 2019, with payout to be determined based on a percentage of target synergies.  Payment for Metric 1, if earned, will be made in the first quarter of 2016.  Metric 2 (Execution) constitutes two-thirds of the total target bonus opportunity, with payout to be determined based on execution of the approved plan and the actual synergies and costs achieved as of December 31, 2016.  Payment for Metric 2, if earned, will be made in the first quarter of 2017.  Metric 2 provides the opportunity for a payout in excess of target, but the total Plan payout cannot exceed 150% of the target bonus opportunity.  The target amounts payable to the named executive officers participating in the Plan are as follows: Christopher Rossi - $876,000 and Jerome Walker - $793,000.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dresser-Rand Group Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, of shareholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dresser-Rand Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.  Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework  (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1.Business Activities

Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Delaware (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Dresser-Rand”), commenced operations on October 30, 2004, when it acquired Dresser-Rand Company and the operations of Dresser-Rand Canada, Inc. and Dresser-Rand GmbH (the “Acquisition”) from Ingersoll Rand Company Limited (“Ingersoll Rand”). The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and servicing of centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, gas and steam turbines, gas expanders, diesel, gas and dual fuel engines and associated control panels.

On September 21, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Siemens Energy, Inc. (“Siemens”) whereby Siemens will acquire the Company (the “Merger”).  The Merger received stockholder approval on November 20, 2014.  The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions including, among others, customary regulatory approvals.

At the time the Merger becomes effective, each outstanding share of Dresser-Rand common stock (excluding any shares held by Siemens, its subsidiaries, Dresser-Rand and dissenting shares in accordance with Delaware law), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of (i) $83.00 per share plus (ii) $0.55 per share on the first of each month until the date of closing beginning on March 1, 2015.

In connection with the acquisition related activities, the Company incurred $15.4 of legal, accounting, fiscal and investment bank transaction related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014.

On September 21, 2014, the board of directors of the Company also adopted a limited duration Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Plan”) and created 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share.  Pursuant to the Plan, the board of directors declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (each a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) on each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on October 2, 2014.  Each Right, once exercisable, will entitle shareholders to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $300 per Right, subject to adjustment.

The Rights are exercisable ten days following a public announcement that certain persons or groups (other than Siemens or any of its affiliates or associates acting pursuant to the Merger Agreement) have acquired beneficial ownership of 10.0% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock or ten business days after the commencement of an offer, that if completed, would result in certain persons or groups having beneficial ownership of 10.0% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (a “flip-in event”).  The Plan provides that the ownership of shareholders that beneficially own 10.0% or more of the Company’s common stock on the date of adoption of the Plan will be grandfathered, but the Rights would become exercisable if at any time any such shareholder increases its ownership percentage by 1.0% or more.  The Rights become exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock at 50.0% of the then-market price of the common stock.  Derivative interests in the Company’s common stock, such as swap arrangements, regardless of whether such arrangements carry with them the right to control voting or disposition of the underlying securities, are also considered beneficial ownership of the underlying common stock for purposes of the Plan.

If a 10.0% or more shareholder of the Company acquires Dresser-Rand, by merger or otherwise, in a transaction where the Company does not survive, the Company’s common stock is changed or exchanged or 50.0% or more of the Company’s assets, cash flow or earnings power is sold or transferred (a “flip-over event”), the Rights become exercisable for shares of the common stock of the company acquiring Dresser-Rand at 50.0% of the then-market price for Dresser-Rand common stock.

Any Rights that are or were beneficially owned by a person who has acquired 10.0% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and who engages in certain transactions or realizes the benefits of certain transactions with the Company will become null and void.  If an offer to acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock is determined to be fair by the board of directors, the transaction will not trigger a flip-in event or a flip-over event.  The Company may also redeem the Rights at $0.01 per Right at any time prior to a flip-in event.  These Rights are set to expire no later than September 22, 2015.

With respect to the audited consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events through February 27, 2015, the date the audited consolidated financial statements were issued.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries or variable interest entities for which the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Fifty percent or less owned companies (which are not variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary), and for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method. Intercompany accounts and transactions among entities included in the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to fair values, allowance for losses on receivables, depreciation and amortization, inventory adjustments related to lower of cost or market, the carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation of assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, product warranties, sales allowances, taxes, pensions, postemployment benefits, stock-based compensation, stage of completion and ultimate profitability for certain long-term revenue contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method, contract losses, penalties, environmental contingencies, product liability, self-insurance programs and other contingencies (including purchase price contingencies).  Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value, as defined in U.S. GAAP, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Recurring Fair Value Measurements —  Fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and customer advance payments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements —Fair value measurements were applied with respect to the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which consists primarily of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, related to purchased businesses in business combinations and impairments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Recurring fair value measurement of financial instruments consist principally of foreign currency derivatives, an interest rate swap and fixed rate long-term debt.

Input levels used for fair value measurements are as follows:

		Input
Description	Disclosure	Level	Level 2 Inputs	Level 3 Inputs
Acquired assets and liabilities	Note 3	Level 3	Not applicable	Level 3 inputs are more fully described in Note 3.
Impairment of long-lived assets	Note 7	Level 3	Not applicable	Level 3 inputs are more fully described in Note 7.
Long-term debt (disclosure only)	Note 11	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active	Not applicable
Financial derivatives	Note 14	Level 2	Quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets	Not applicable

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. The nature of restrictions includes restrictions imposed by financing agreements such as debt service reserves. The Company is required to maintain sinking funds associated with certain of its borrowings, generally based on the short-term debt service requirements of such borrowings. Sinking fund requirements totaled $3.3 and $8.1 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and have been classified as restricted cash in the current assets section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Allowance for Losses on Receivables

The Company establishes an allowance for losses on receivables by applying specified percentages to the adjusted receivable aging categories. The percentage applied against the aging categories increases as the accounts become further past due so that accounts in excess of 360 days past due are initially considered for a 100% reserve. The allowance is further adjusted for specific customer accounts that have aged but collection is determined to be probable and accounts that have become past due but collection is determined to be doubtful due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues as identified by the Company.

Inventories, net

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (generally first-in first-out or average) or market (estimated net realizable value). Cost includes labor, materials and facility overhead. A provision is also recorded for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory. Customer progress payments are credited to inventory and any payments in excess of our related investment in inventory are recorded as customer advance payments in current liabilities. Company progress payments to suppliers are included in work-in-process.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of buildings and improvements range from five years to 40 years; the useful lives of machinery and equipment range from three years to 10 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest costs for qualifying construction and upgrade projects. Capitalized interest costs were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes computer software for internal use following the guidelines established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The amounts capitalized were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with its acquisition by First Reserve in 2004, as well as its acquisitions of other companies.  The Company performs its annual impairment assessment at the reporting unit level for each reporting unit that carries a balance of goodwill.  The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test described below.  If the Company believes that, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed.  Qualitative indicators including deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, or a sustained decrease in share price, among other things, may trigger the need for a quantitative impairment test of goodwill for a reporting unit.

The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment is performed at August 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired.  For instance, a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below book value, a significant change in business climate, as well as the qualitative indicators referenced above, may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill for one or all of its reporting units.

In 2014, the Company chose not to perform a qualitative analysis, but rather utilized a quantitative impairment test for both its reporting units.  The first step of the quantitative test involves comparing the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units with its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed.  The second step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of its goodwill.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding charge to operating expense. 

In the quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units by weighting the results from the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (guideline public company method).  Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions.  Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, weighted-average costs of capital, future market conditions and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry, among others.  The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in its impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated.  Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted to present value using risk-adjusted industry discount rates, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Cash flow projections are derived from operating forecasts, which are evaluated by management.  Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur, along with a terminal value derived from the reporting unit’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Under the guideline public company method, the Company determines fair value based on earnings multiples from publicly traded companies within our industry with economic prospects similar to each reporting unit. The selected multiples consider each reporting unit’s relative growth, profitability, size and risk relative to the selected guideline public companies.

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

The following table presents the significant estimates used by management in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units at August 31, 2014:

Years of cash flows before terminal value	5
Terminal growth rate	2.4%
Weighted average cost of capital	9.5%

Management also considered the sensitivity of its fair value estimates to changes in certain valuation assumptions and, after giving consideration to at least a 10% decrease in the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, the results of the assessment did not change.  However, circumstances such as market declines, unfavorable economic conditions, or other factors could impact the valuation of goodwill in future periods.

As a result of the decline in oil prices during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company evaluated the likelihood that goodwill had fallen below the carrying value of any of its reporting units.  Due to the offer price in the proposed merger with Siemens, described further in Note 1, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units is greater than their carrying value.

The Company amortizes its other intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives. See Note 8 for additional details regarding the components and estimated useful lives of intangible assets.

Income Taxes

The Company determines the consolidated provision for income taxes for its operations on a legal entity, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Deferred taxes are provided for operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are measured by the enacted tax rates expected to apply when temporary differences are settled or realized. A valuation allowance is established on the deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination through any appeal and litigation processes based on the technical merits of the position and, if recognized, are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest on unrecognized tax positions as interest expense and estimated tax penalties as non-operating expenses.

Product Warranty

Warranty accruals are recorded at the time the products are sold and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations that have no significant future economic benefit are expensed. Costs to prepare environmental site evaluations and feasibility studies are accrued when the Company commits to perform them. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The Company determines any required liability based on existing technology without reflecting any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies and discounting. Expenditures that prevent or mitigate environmental contamination that is yet to occur are capitalized.

Revenue Recognition 

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the product or service has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client, risk of loss has transferred to the client, and either any required client acceptance has been obtained (or such provisions have lapsed) or we have objective evidence that the criteria specified in the client

F-12

DRESSER-RAND GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS―  (continued)

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The amount of revenue related to any contingency is not recognized until the contingency is resolved.

Multiple-element arrangements

A substantial portion of our arrangements are multiple-element revenue arrangements or contracts, where multiple products and/or services are involved. Products involved in multiple-element arrangements may include centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, power turbines, power recovery expanders, reciprocating compressors, steam turbines and engines. Our typical arrangement includes one of our classes of compressors and a driver (e.g., a motor, turbine or an engine).  In addition to our products, we perform installation and commissioning, training, and other services, and we purchase any number of standard or engineered items from third parties (“buyouts”) that support the application in which our equipment is being used.  Generally, buyouts, installation and commissioning, training and each of our products listed above are considered separate deliverables for a number of reasons, including the following:

· Clients would purchase each of those products or services apart from other products or services;

· The products and services being provided are at the request of the client and for the client’s sole benefit, apart from any other product or service in the transaction;

· The other deliverables can be performed without the service or product in question being performed or delivered;

· Contractual payments are typically tied to the delivery or performance of the specific product or service;

· The skills or equipment required to perform the services are readily available in the marketplace; and

· Clients attribute significant value to each product or service.

These contracts generally can take fifteen months or more to complete, but occasionally may take longer. The timing between the first deliverable and the last deliverable is generally three to twelve months, and services are typically delivered last.

Because the aforementioned separate deliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis, they are typically considered separate units of accounting. The entire contract value is allocated to each unit of accounting. Revenue allocated to products is recognized upon delivery, while revenue allocated to services is recognized when the service is performed. We use the selling price hierarchy described below to determine how to separate multiple-element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting:

· Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).

· Third-party evidence (“TPE”), if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available.

· Estimated selling price (“ESP”), determined in the same manner as that used to determine the price at which we sell the deliverables on a stand-alone basis if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available.

In substantially all of our multi-element arrangements, we use ESP to allocate arrangement consideration. We determine ESP based on our normal pricing and discounting practices. In determining ESP, we apply significant judgment as we weigh a variety of factors, based on the facts of the arrangement. We typically arrive at an ESP by considering client and entity-specific factors such as existing pricing, price discounts, geographies, competition, internal costs and profitability objectives.

Our sales arrangements do not include a general right of return of the delivered unit(s). In certain cases, the cancellation terms of a contract provide us with the opportunity to bill for certain incurred costs and penalties.

If it is determined that the separate deliverables do not have value on a stand-alone basis, the entire arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting, which results in revenue being recognized when the last unit is delivered based on the revenue recognition policy described above.

It is uncommon for the Company to have material contract scope adjustments that impact the selling price for specific units of accounting that would result in material changes in the allocation of the selling price.  In the event of such an adjustment, we apply the change in the allocation of the selling price to the units of accounting that are not yet delivered.

As our business and offerings evolve over time, our pricing practices may be required to be modified accordingly, which could result in changes in selling prices in subsequent periods.  Historically, there have been no material impacts, nor do we currently expect material impacts in the next twelve months, on our revenue recognition due to changes in our VSOE, TPE or ESP.

Percentage of completion

We also enter into certain large contracts with expanded construction-type scope and risk.  These contractual arrangements have a scope of activity that differs in substance from the scope of deliverables found in our traditional sales agreements.  For these types of contracts, we apply the guidelines of FASB ASC 605-35 —Provision for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts and utilize the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. Non-traditional scope arrangements include activities typically performed by engineering, procurement and construction contractors. Our clients on these projects typically require us to act as a general construction contractor for all or a portion of these projects. These arrangements are often executed in the form of turnkey contracts, where the Company designs, engineers, manufactures, constructs, transports, erects and hands over to the client at the designated destination point the fully commissioned and tested module or facility, which is ready for operation.  Percentage of completion revenue represents approximately 3.5%, 6.5% and 0.8% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized as work on a contract progresses.  For each contractual arrangement that qualifies for the percentage of completion method of accounting, the Company recognizes revenue, cost of sales and gross profit in the amounts that are equivalent to a percentage of the total estimated contract sales value, estimated cost of sales and estimated gross profit to be achieved upon completion of the project.  This percentage is generally determined by dividing the cumulative amount of labor costs and labor converted material costs incurred to date by the sum of the cumulative costs incurred to date plus the estimated remaining costs to be incurred in order to complete the contract.  Preparing these estimates is a process requiring judgment.  Factors influencing these estimates include, but are not limited to, historical performance trends, inflationary trends, productivity and labor disruptions, availability of materials, claims, change orders and other factors.  In the event that the Company experiences changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales and gross profit, they would be recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment that recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s updated percentage of completion.

We apply the percentage of completion method of accounting to agreements when the following conditions exist:

· The costs are reasonably estimable;

· The contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding products and services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement;

· The customer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract; and

· We expect to perform all of our contractual obligations.

Cost of revenue for our construction-type contracts includes contract costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs that are attributable to contract activity.  Generally, we bill our customers based on advance billing terms or completion of certain contract milestones.  Cumulative costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.  Cumulative billings in excess of cumulative costs and estimated earnings recognized to date are included in accounts payable and accruals on the consolidated balance sheet.

We estimate the future costs and estimated gross profit that will be incurred related to sales arrangements to determine whether any arrangement will result in a loss. These costs include material, labor and overhead. Factors influencing these future costs include the availability of materials and skilled laborers. We record provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are identified.

Taxes Imposed on Revenue Transactions

The Company accounts for taxes imposed on specific revenue transactions, e.g., sales, value-added and similar taxes, on a net basis as such taxes are excluded from revenue and costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts billed to clients for shipping and handling are classified as sales of products with the related costs incurred included in cost of sales.

Research and Development and In-Process Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenditures are comprised of salaries, qualifying engineering costs and an allocation of related overhead costs, and are expensed when incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments, post-retirement benefit plan liability adjustments and fair value changes of financial instruments designated as hedges, net of tax, as applicable.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of non-United States (“U.S.”) consolidated entities that use the local currency as the functional currency are translated at year-end exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated using weighted-average-for-the-year exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are included in earnings only upon a sale or transfer which results in a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in earnings as incurred, except for those intercompany balances that are designated as long-term investments.

Inventory, prepaid expenses, warranty liabilities and property balances and related statement of income accounts of non-U.S. entities that use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency are translated using historical exchange rates. The resulting gains and losses are credited or charged to the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Financial Instruments

The Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through its normal operating and financing activities, as well as through the use of financial instruments, principally forward exchange contracts.

The purpose of the Company’s currency hedging activities is to mitigate the economic impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets. To the extent that this is not practicable, the Company may enter into forward exchange contracts. Major exposure areas considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions and forecasted sales and purchases. The Company has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France.

The Company recognizes all derivatives used in hedging activities as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Any properly documented effective portion of a cash flow hedging instrument’s gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and is reclassified to earnings in the period during which the transaction being hedged affects income. Gains or losses subsequently reclassified from stockholders’ equity are classified in accordance with statement of income treatment of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedging instrument’s fair value change is immediately recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Classification in the Consolidated Statement of Income of the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s gain or loss is based on the statement of income classification of the transaction being hedged. If a cash flow hedging instrument does not qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes, the change in the fair value of the derivative is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in other expense, net. Except for the interest rate swap, the derivative financial instruments in existence at December 31, 2014 and 2013, were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The amount of compensation cost recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that has vested at that date.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Any legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may not be within our control is recognized as a liability at the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. U.S. GAAP acknowledges that, in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated if (a) it is evident that the fair value of the obligation is embodied in the acquisition of an asset, (b) an active market exists for the transfer of the obligation or, (c) sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate (1) the settlement date or the range of settlement dates, (2) the method of settlement or potential methods of settlement and (3) the probabilities associated with the range of potential settlement dates and potential settlement methods.

New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. In accordance with the amendments, an entity will measure the obligation as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangements among its co-obligors, and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 also require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). The amendments in ASU 2013-05 resolve the diversity in practice in applying Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation —  Overall, and Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters —  Translation of Financial Statements, when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary within a foreign entity. The amendments in ASU 2013-05 require the reporting entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary resided.  For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment, if significant influence is retained.  Additionally, the amendments clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity; and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (step acquisition). The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if the settlement of the deferred tax asset is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.  In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income and

F-16

expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity, and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application not permitted.  Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The Company is currently evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. The revised consolidation standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted.  The Company is evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted.  Companies may use either a prospective or a retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The Company is evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”). The amendments in ASU 2015-01eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  Companies may use either a prospective or a retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). The amendments in ASU 2015-02 change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in this ASU using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions and Other Investments

Acquisitions

On August 8, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to acquire financial control of Ramgen Power Systems, LLC (“Ramgen”), an entity in which the Company held a42.2%equity interest immediately preceding the acquisition date.  The Asset Purchase Agreement superseded all prior agreements between the Company and Ramgen.  Ramgen was developing compressor technology that applies proven supersonic aircraft technology to ground-based air and gas compressors. 

The Company previously acquired its equity interest in Ramgen through various investments totaling$34.4from 2008 to 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the remaining 57.8% of Ramgen’s assets in a business combination, in exchange for cash of approximately $1.0 and the rights to royalty payments from certain future sales made by the Company (“contingent consideration”). The acquisition gives the Company sole ownership of the supersonic compressor technology and, therefore, control over the continued development and commercialization of the supersonic compressor program.

The purchase of Ramgen resulted in a pre-tax loss to the Company of $11.7, which consisted of two components: (1) a loss of $18.3 on the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held interest, and (2) a gain of $6.6 related to the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration.

Because the business combination was achieved in stages, the Company re-measured its previously held equity interest in Ramgen at its acquisition-date fair value and recognized the resulting loss of $18.3 in other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2014, in the consolidated statement of income. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest of $10.3 was estimated using the cost aggregation approach based upon the underlying fair value of the assets of Ramgen.  Since Ramgen was a private company, the fair value measurement was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”).  The cost approach was applied to the property, plant and equipment based on the type of use, condition, square footage and other similar factors to determine the fair value of assets acquired.  The income approach was applied to the intangible assets using projected results, a market-based discount rate of 25.0% and a market-based royalty rate of 5.0%.  Acquired intangible assets consist of in-process research and development.

The Company believes that there are various factors that resulted in a negotiated purchase price for which the fair value of identifiable assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred.  Prior to the acquisition, Ramgen did not have a commercial function, and Dresser-Rand has a history of bringing new products to market.  There is considerable interest in the product as the Company has experienced significant inquiry volume since 2012.  In parallel with its efforts to gain a significant understanding of the technology, the Company continued to provide funding to Ramgen.  Ramgen would have incurred significant cost and delays in order to identify and engage another partner, arrange new funding, and commercialize the product.  Finally, there were certain protective provisions in the joint venture agreements which were negotiated in good faith, limiting the parties’ ability to sell shares, subcontract rights, or sell the technology without the other party’s consent.

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

The recorded amounts of the net assets acquired are as follows:

	August 8, 2014
Property, plant and equipment	$	10.0
Intangible assets		14.4
Deferred tax liabilities, net		(3.9)
Net assets acquired		20.5
Fair value of previous equity interest		(10.3)
Fair value of consideration:
Cash		(1.0)
Contingent consideration (non-cash)		(2.6)
Value of net assets acquired in excess of fair value of consideration	$	6.6

Acquired intangible assets consist of in-process research and development.

The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay royalties to Ramgen based on future sales related to the purchased products and technology for fifteen years upon commercialization.  The maximum amount payable shall not exceed $44.5.  The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on projected sales related to the purchased products and technology. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820.  The income approach was applied to the contingent consideration using projected results, an estimated discount rate of 25.0% and contractually negotiated royalty rates of 1.0% to 2.0%.

Consequently, the Company reassessed the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired in the Ramgen acquisition and concluded that all acquired assets were recognized and that the valuation procedures and resulting measures were appropriate.  As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration paid as a gain of $6.6 in other expense, net in the consolidated statement of income.

On January 4, 2012, the Company acquired Synchrony, Inc. (“Synchrony”), a technology development company with a portfolio of technologies and products including active magnetic bearings, low power, high speed motors and generators, and power electronics for clean, efficient and reliable rotating machinery.  Founded in 1993, Synchrony is headquartered in Roanoke County, Virginia, where it operates an ISO 9001 certified production facility, in-house test cells for high-speed machinery, a model shop for prototype fabrication and assembly and an on-site software integration laboratory.  Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired Synchrony for approximately $48.8, net of cash acquired, at which time Synchrony became a 100%-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company.  The acquisition gives the Company the ability to integrate Synchrony’s active magnetic bearing capability into its product development process and to offer oil-free solutions in high speed rotating equipment applications, the benefits of which include reduced footprint and weight of the application and more environmentally-friendly applications. The agreement included the potential for additional contingent consideration of up to a maximum of $10.0based on technical milestones and business performance.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had made all contractually required contingent consideration payments totaling $4.7 to the sellers of Synchrony.

Goodwill from the Synchrony acquisition principally resulted from expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business and the Company.  The amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of Synchrony is not deductible for income tax purposes. 

The acquisition price was allocated to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Other Investments

On June 28, 2013, the Company and Apex Compressed Air Energy Storage, LLC (“APEX”) formed Bethel Holdco, LLC (“Bethel”) to develop a 317 megawatt compressed air energy storage (“CAES”) facility to be constructed in the north zone of Texas.  The Company expects to manufacture and supply the compression trains, expansion trains, balance of plant process equipment and installation, commissioning, start-up and on-site testing services to a subsidiary of Bethel, subject to the project reaching full financing.  Although the project is not yet fully financed, management believes that the ability to finance the project will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.   As of December, 31, 2014, the Company had invested a total of$5.0for a5.7% ownership interest in Bethel.  The remaining 94.3% interest is held by APEX.  The Company has certain rights, but no obligations, to make additional capital contributions to Bethel.In connection with its investment in Bethel, the Company received an option tosell all ofitsinitial ownership interests in Bethelto APEX at such time on or after the second anniversary of the CAES facility achieving commercial operation that Bethel has a net positive amount of available cash to distribute to its members for a trailing twelve-month period.  The sale price under the option is the Company’s purchase price for the Bethel interests.On February 14, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Bethel to help fund the construction of the CAES facility.  The Company may loan Bethel an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0, with interest rates ranging from 8.0% to 16.0% per annum.  Loans made under the arrangement mature no later than eight years from the date of issuance.  As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Bethel loan receivable was $19.8, and is included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on its investment in Bethel is limited to amounts invested

(including amounts loaned) plus any amounts the Company may choose to invest in the future.  In determining whether the Company should consolidate Bethel, the Company considered that its board participation, ownership interestand loan would not give the Company the power to direct the activities of Bethel and, consequently, would not result in the Company being the primary beneficiary.  The investment in Bethel is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the amount of the investment recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet is $4.8 at December 31, 2014.  The Company recognized revenues from APEX of $22.4 and $12.6 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a noncontrolling interest in Echogen Power Systems, LLC (“Echogen”), a privately-held technology company that is developing and commercializing power generation systems that harness waste heat for power and cooling applications using a proprietary supercritical carbon dioxide process technology. The Company will pay Echogen a royalty based on future equipment sales in these markets.  Aggregate minimum royalties of $6.0 must be paid in the first five years of commercialization, which has not begun, regardless of the amount of revenues generated, or the license will become non-exclusive.  On March 26, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for exclusive license rights to certain of Echogen’s intellectual property in exchange for $2.5 of cash and the relief of the Company’s obligation to provide certain equipment which was required under the original agreement. These exclusive license rights are represented by the remaining shares of Echogen held by the Company, which will be exchanged for an exclusive license if Echogen’s intellectual property is proven. Additionally, the Company matched other funding of $1.0 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had invested a total of $26.5 for a 33.9% noncontrolling interest in Echogen. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on its investment in Echogen is limited to amounts invested plus any amounts the Company may choose to invest in the future, if any. In determining whether the Company should consolidate Echogen, the Company considered that its board participation and ownership interest would not give the Company the power to direct the activities of Echogen and, consequently, would not result in the Company being the primary beneficiary.  The investment in Echogen is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the amount of the investment recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet is $14.2 at December 31, 2014.

In April 2009, the Company and Al Rushaid Petroleum Investment Company (“ARPIC”) executed a Business Venture Agreement to form a joint venture, Dresser-Rand Arabia LLC (“D-R Arabia”). D-R Arabia was formed to execute manufacturing, repair, and other services, and to provide technical expertise and training in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company and ARPIC each own approximately 50% of D-R Arabia. In determining whether the Company should consolidate D-R Arabia, the Company determined that its ownership, board participation and other related contractual rights would give the Company the ability to direct the activities of D-R Arabia, which would result in the Company being the primary beneficiary. Consequently, D-R Arabia is consolidated in the financial results of the Company.

At December 31, 2014, D-R Arabia has total assets of approximately $56.5 consisting principally of property, plant and equipment, and total liabilities of approximately $84.8, consisting principally of intercompany loans. The assets have been classified accordingly in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and the loans have been eliminated in consolidation. Both parties to the joint venture had signed a resolution committing to provide financial support to D-R Arabia, as needed, to meet the Company’s obligations as they became due through 2014.

4.Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic income per share of common stock by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. We exclude non-vested shares of common stock issued in connection with our stock compensation plans from the calculation of the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding until those shares vest. The calculation of diluted income per share of common stock reflects the potential dilution under the treasury stock method that would occur if options issued under our stock compensation plans are exercised and includes any dilutive effect of non-vested shares of common stock issued. The calculation of diluted income per share of common stock excludes the potential exercise of anti-dilutive options. Following is a reconciliation of net income and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted income per share:

Impairment of Spanish Cogeneration Facilities

The Company has whole or majority ownership of six cogeneration facilities in Spain. The Spanish government published a ministerial order on June 20, 2014, that reflected a reduction in existing tariffs of approximately 38%, which was retroactive to July 2013.

The enacted order was issued in draft form in February 2014 and is an implementation regulation of a law that was passed in 2013.  The 2013 law did not have sufficient specificity to reasonably estimate the change in the tariff without the further order, but did provide that the existing tariffs would be paid on a provisional basis until the order was issued.  Before the initial draft was issued, the Company was not able to ascertain the changes to the tariffs, and therefore did not believe that assets would be impaired. Once the initial draft was issued, the Company determined that operating the cogeneration facilities would not be economical under the reduced tariff level and decided to suspend operations at the facilities.  Because the initial draft related to the 2013 law, the Company recorded the resulting impairment charge of $40.0 in the three months ended December 31, 2013.  The impairment charge solely impacted the aftermarket parts and services segment.

The impaired assets included land, power generation equipment, cogeneration plant equipment and structures. The land was valued using the market approach and the machinery and equipment was valued using the cost approach. The income approach was considered and applied to the total operations, but the income approach was not applied to the individual assets because these assets contribute to earnings jointly with many other economic factors.  No value was placed on the structures because it was determined that buildings would not be necessary for the highest and best use of the land.

The market approach was applied to the land based on discussions with local brokers considering the land’s size, shape, zoning, location, and other similar factors. This methodology was used because comparable land transactions and comparable current listings could not be located. 

The current replacement cost of a typical similar cogeneration facility was the basis used to estimate the replacement cost of the machinery and equipment.  Recoverability adjustments were applied to the current replacement cost based upon production hours since the last overhaul to reduce the estimated fair value accordingly.

The Company has initiated the liquidation process for all six of the cogeneration facilities.  The liquidation of all six facilities is subject to final approval by each of the legal entities’ boards of directors as well as the Spanish government, which is expected to occur in the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Because the Company continues to maintain financial control over these legal entities and the liquidation process is still subject to board and governmental approval, the balance sheets and the results of operations of the cogeneration facilities have been included in the consolidated continuing

operations of the Company for all periods presented. 

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Any legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may not be within our control is recognized as a liability at the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. U.S. GAAP acknowledges that, in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.

We are legally obligated to decommission certain of our cogeneration sites in Brazil and Spain upon site exit.  The Company has not recorded any conditional asset retirement obligations for its cogeneration facilities in Brazil because there is no current active market in which the obligations could be transferred and we do not have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the range of settlement dates and their related probabilities. The Company believes any obligations arising from decommissioning activities in Brazil are immaterial to the financial statements.  In connection with suspension of certain of its cogeneration facilities in Spain, the legal obligation to decommission became reasonably estimable, and the Company recorded a conditional asset retirement obligation related to its Spanish cogeneration facilities in 2014.  The changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations were as follows:

Intangible asset amortization expense was $33.1,$28.9 and $29.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense for each of the subsequent five fiscal years is expected to be as follows: $30.6 in 2015,  $30.0 in 2016,  $29.8 in 2017,  $29.4 in 2018 and $29.1 in 2019.

In-process research and development was acquired in the Ramgen acquisition (see Note 3).  Upon completion of the associated research and development efforts, in-process research and development is reclassified to existing technology and amortized based upon the Company’s estimate of its useful life at that time.

As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $18.6,  $18.7 and $14.3, respectively, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $1.4 of expense related to uncertain tax positions in the consolidated statement of income. We do not anticipate a material change to our uncertain tax positions during 2015. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest on unrecognized tax positions as interest expense and any estimated tax penalties as non-operating expenses. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction follow:

We operate in numerous countries and tax jurisdictions around the world and there is no assurance that future tax audits will not result in significant tax adjustments. Management believes that it has provided adequate estimated liabilities for taxes based on its understanding of the tax laws and regulations in those countries.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $414.5 and $371.1, respectively, were available to offset future taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions. If not utilized, these NOLs will begin to expire in 2015. Also, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, research and experimentation and other tax credits of $28.1 and $30.8, respectively, were available to reduce future foreign income tax liabilities. These tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely. Foreign tax credits as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $13.2 and $4.7, respectively. If not utilized, these credits will begin to expire in 2024.  Valuation allowances as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, of $134.9 and $121.2, respectively, have been recorded against these NOLs and certain other deferred tax assets for which it is more-likely-than-not that the tax benefits will not be realized. Forecasted and historical book earnings, tax deductible goodwill, interest expense related to the acquisition and deferred tax liabilities established as a result of acquisition accounting were all used to determine the amount of valuation allowance necessary to reflect the realizability of the related deferred tax assets.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, is principally due to a change in the mix of foreign earnings and incremental benefits of foreign tax credits. The Company was able to benefit from previously unrecognized foreign tax credits. The total impact of these items reduces the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, by approximately 5.1 percentage points.

On August 8, 2014, the Company acquired Ramgen, an entity in which the Company held an equity interest immediately preceding the acquisition date.  The acquisition of Ramgen is discussed more fully in Note 3.  The net pre-tax loss recognized on the Ramgen acquisition which is included in other expense, net in the consolidated financial statements, reduced the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, by 1.4 percentage points.

This decrease is offset by an increased amount of net operating losses in certain foreign countries, for which we could not record benefits under U.S. GAAP, thus increasing the effective tax rate by approximately 3.3 percentage points. 

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act (“ATRA”) of 2012 was signed into law. Some of the provisions were retroactive to January 1, 2012, including the “look through” exclusion from U.S. federal taxable income of certain interest, dividends, rents, and royalty income of foreign affiliates, as well as the tax benefits of the credits associated with that income and an extension of the research and experimentation credit. Therefore, as required by U.S. GAAP, a $4.4 benefit was reflected in the year ended December 31, 2013 as a discrete event.The look through exemption for foreign earnings provisions and the research and experimentation credit was extended in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The impact of the 2013 retroactive extension of these provisions caused an increase in the 2014 effective tax rate of approximately 1.7 percentage points as compared to the 2013 effective tax rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from current earnings to the U.S. of $14.9, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $7.1. The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, is a benefit of 3.0%. In June 2014, the Company decided to change its assertion with respect to the unremitted earnings of its Indian subsidiary and paid a cash dividend to the U.S. This change in management philosophy was due to the restrictive Indian exchange control laws prohibiting certain business uses of the cash being generated in India. The tax impact of this change in assertion and dividend payment resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $0.8.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from current earnings to the U.S. parent company of$47.5, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $10.6.  The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, was a benefit of 3.4%.  

As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013, the Company recorded a nondeductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Had this amount been deductible, our effective tax rate would have been 0.4% lower for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

Certain foreign subsidiaries are operating under tax holiday arrangements that began expiring during 2014, subject to potential extensions.  For the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, the impact of these tax holiday arrangements lowered income tax expense by $7.6  ($0.10 per diluted share), $9.1  ($0.12 per diluted share) and $2.1  ($0.03 per diluted share), respectively.

Except for earnings of our Indian subsidiary, and certain current earnings of our Luxembourg subsidiary remitted in 2014 and 2013, management has decided to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and, therefore, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided on those foreign earnings. If any indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings are distributed, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits), as well as withholding taxes imposed by certain foreign jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has accumulated undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $431.9.

Amended Credit Facility

On September 30, 2013, the Company and its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Guascor, amended and extended its committed credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders, extending the final maturity date for the credit facility to September 30, 2018, and increasing the $700.0 U.S. dollar revolving credit facility by $400.0 to $1,100.0.

On June 27, 2014, we entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to our committed credit agreement (as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Credit Facility”).  The First Amendment amends certain terms and provisions of our committed credit agreement to incorporate recent changes to the ownership structure of certain legal entities completed by the Company in order to facilitate the Company’s cash management activities.

The Amended Credit Facility is comprised of revolving credit facilities, reflecting a $1,100.0 commitment and a €50.0 commitment, and a term loan facility comprised of tranche A and tranche B term loans denominated in U.S. dollars and euros, respectively. The term loans are subject to amortization in quarterly installments equal to $2.0, with respect to the tranche A term loans, and $3.0, with respect to the tranche B term loans. Any principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan facility is due and payable in full at maturity on September 30, 2018. At December 31, 2014, total outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility amounted to $693.7, of which $434.1 was outstanding under the revolving credit facilities and $259.6 was outstanding under the term loan facility. The Company had issued $72.8 in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014. In addition to these letters of credit, $264.4 of letters of credit and bank guarantees was outstanding at December 31, 2014, which were issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit.

The Amended Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s election, at either (a) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus a LIBOR rate or (b) a rate equal to an

applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus a base rate as defined in the facility.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Amended Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee under the revolving credit facility for unutilized commitments, and fees for outstanding performance and financial letters of credit.  These fee amounts depend on the Company’s leverage ratio and range from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum.

The Amended Credit Facility requires that certain net proceeds related to asset sales, to the extent not reinvested in assets used or useful in the Company’s business within one year, be used to pay down the outstanding balance. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Amended Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs. The Amended Credit Facility contains normal and customary covenants, including the provision of periodic financial information, financial covenants (including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio), and certain other limitations governing, among others, such matters as the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens on assets, make investments, acquisitions or mergers, dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, engage in transactions with affiliates, make amendments to documentation for the Company’s 6 ½% Senior Subordinated Notes that would be materially adverse to lenders and pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock. The Amended Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with the Amended Credit Facility debt covenants at December 31, 2014.

In connection with executing the Amended Credit Facility, the Company incurred fees of $5.1, which are being amortized utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the Amended Credit Facility.  Total deferred financing fees of $2.2 and $3.4 were amortized to earnings for fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Included in interest expense were commitment and letter of credit fees of $1.9,  $2.8 and $4.7 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

12. Pension Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans at U.S. and non-U.S. locations. The U.S. qualified pension plan covers salaried, non-union hourly and certain bargaining unit employees. The benefits are largely frozen, with the exception of those for certain bargaining units, which accumulate according to a flat dollar formula that is not related to future earnings levels. Those employees whose benefits are frozen participate in a defined contribution plan. The defined benefit pension plans sponsored by the Company outside the U.S. are generally not frozen, with future benefits being determined using pensionable earnings and service at the time of determination.

Information regarding our pension plans is as follows as of, and for the years ended, December 31:

The Company develops an assumed discount rate for each plan, where possible, using the yields on high-quality corporate bonds with maturities that match the forecasted cash flow requirements of the plan. In locations where a cash flow matching approach is not feasible, due to a lack of available corporate bond information, alternative methods, such as government bond yield information, are used to determine an appropriate discount rate, taking into account the duration of the plan liabilities.

The net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net pension expense during 2015 is estimated to be $7.1 and $0.6 for the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively.  

Information for pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets is as follows at December 31:

	U.S. Plans				Non-U.S. Plans
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Projected benefit obligation	$	309.7	$	286.1	$	21.8	$	31.1
Accumulated benefit obligation		309.7		286.1		16.2		27.1
Fair value of plan assets		244.5		247.0		1.9		11.2

The Company uses an annual measurement date of December 31. The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are determined as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rates of return are projected to be the rates of return to be earned over the period until the benefits are paid. Accordingly, the long-term rates of return should reflect the rates of return on present investments and expected contributions to be received during the current year and on reinvestments over the period. The rates of return utilized reflect the expected rates of return during the periods for which the payment of benefits is deferred. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used is based on what is realistically achievable based on the types of assets held by the plans and the plans’ investment policy. Historical asset return trends for the larger plans are reviewed over fifteen,  ten and five years. The Company reviews each plan and its historical returns and asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used.

Level 3 assets consist of annuities held as investments within the plan that cover a set amount of liabilities and the effect of changes in the values of the related assets and liabilities are generally offsetting.  Level 3 assets also consist of annuities that require contribution premiums to fund ongoing liabilities as required by foreign governmental regulations.  Annuities are valued using standard actuarial calculations such as discount rates, mortality rates and participant population.

The Company’s investment objectives in managing its defined benefit plan assets are to provide reasonable assurance that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long-term, maximizes the ratio of the plan assets to liabilities, while minimizing the present value of required Company contributions at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory requirements, laws and local regulatory agencies’ requirements. Key investment decisions involving asset allocations, investment manager structure, investment managers, investment advisors and trustees or custodians are reviewed regularly. An asset liability modeling study is used as the basis for aggregated asset allocation decisions and updated approximately every five years or as required. The Company’s current global asset allocation strategy for its pension plans is 60% in equity securities and 40% in debt securities and cash excluding those assets in non-U.S. plans required by regulation to be in insurance contracts or other similar assets. The Company sets upper limits and lower limits of plus or minus 5%. The rebalancing strategy is reviewed quarterly if cash flows are not sufficient to rebalance the plans and appropriate action is taken to bring the plans within the strategic allocation ranges.

The Company’s policy is to contribute to the U.S. qualified plan the amount necessary to maintain benefits under the

F-37

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS―  (continued)

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

Pension Protection Act of 2006, and additional discretionary amounts, up to the limitations imposed by the applicable tax codes. Contributions to the UK pension plans are determined in agreement with the plan trustees. Contributions to funded plans in other countries are based on applicable local funding requirements. The Company currently estimates that it will contribute to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans approximately$0.0 and $3.9, respectively, in 2015.

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company contributed approximately$1.1,$1.1 and $1.0, respectively, to two multiemployer plans that are insignificant to the Company individually and in the aggregate.

U.S. pension benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: $16.9 in 2015, $17.6 in 2016, $18.3 in 2017, $19.0 in 2018, $19.8 in 2019 and $103.3 for the years 2020 to 2024.  Non-U.S. pension benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: $6.3 in 2015, $6.3 in 2016, $6.3 in 2017, $6.8 in 2018, $6.9 in 2019 and $36.5 for the years 2020 to 2024.

Defined Contribution Plans

Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are covered by savings and other defined contribution plans. Employer contributions and costs are determined based on criteria specific to the individual plans and were $17.1,  $18.2 and $16.5 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s costs relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans, insured plans and other non-U.S. benefit plans were approximately  $6.0,  $4.0 and $3.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Certain key employees of the Companyare eligible to participate, on a voluntary basis, in the Dresser-Rand Company Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Retirement Plan (“Non-Qualified Plan”).  On an annual basis, eligible participants elect to defer a percentage of their eligible annual base salary and/or annual incentive payment as contributions to the Non-Qualified Plan and elect the manner in which their account balance be distributed upon termination.  The Company accounts for the deferred compensation arrangements of the Non-Qualified Plan, which are invested in mutual funds and held in a rabbi trust, separately as assets and liabilities of the Company. The assets of the Non-Qualified Plan, which are held in the rabbi trust, are subject to additional risk of loss in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The Company recorded net compensation expense adjustments to the liability of $4.0,  $4.0 and $4.3 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

13.Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions

The Company sponsors post-retirement plans that cover certain eligible U.S. employees that provide for healthcare and life insurance benefits. The post-retirement health plans are generally contributory with the required retiree contributions adjusted annually, while the life insurance plans are fully paid for by the Company. The Company funds the post-retirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis. Healthcare coverage is coordinated with Medicare.

14.  Financial Instruments (€ in millions)

The Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates through its normal operating and financing activities as well as through the use of financial instruments.

The purpose of the Company’s hedging activities is to mitigate the economic impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets.  To the extent that this is not practicable, the Company may enter into forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps.  Major exposure areas considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions, forecast sales and purchases and variable interest rates.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of €18.0 (approximately $21.8) and effectively converts substantially the entire interest component of the lease from a variable rate of interest to a fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.87% per annum. The initial base term of the lease expired in February 2015.  See Note 15 for additional discussion of the lease. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $0.4 and$0.7, respectively, and the related unrealized gain (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was$0.3,  $0.3 and ($0.1), respectively.  The interest rate swap matured in February 2015 and is no longer outstanding.

None of the Company’s other derivative financial instruments are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.  Changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income in other (expense)income, net.

All of the Company’s foreign currency derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements.  These arrangements provide for the option to settle contracts with a given counterparty on a net basis when they settle on the same day and the same currency.  In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event, and do not require the Company to post any cash collateral.  The Company has elected to present the derivative contracts on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company recognizes derivatives in prepaid expenses and other, or accounts payable and accruals, as appropriate, on the consolidated balance sheet and measures them at fair value each reporting period.  As of December 31, 2014, had the Company presented its derivative contracts on a net basis, the assets and liabilities presented in the table below would be offset by $4.0, resulting in net foreign currency exchange contracts assets and liabilities of $6.1 and $29.2, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013, had the Company presented its derivative contracts on a net basis, the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet would not be materially different from the presentation in the table below. 

The following table sets forth the Company’s gross foreign currency exchange contracts that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

	December 31,
	2014		2013
Foreign currency exchange contracts assets	$	10.1	$	5.4
Foreign currency exchange contracts liabilities	$	33.2	$	16.3

The notional amount for the forward exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $498.3 and $546.6, respectively.  The net foreign currency (losses)gains recognized for forward currency contracts were $(14.3), ($14.7) and $7.9 for the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, respectively.

15.Commitments and Contingencies (€ and R$ in millions)

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. We are indemnified by our former owner, Ingersoll Rand, for certain of these matters as part of Ingersoll Rand’s sale of the Company and by the sellers of Guascor for certain of these matters in connection with our acquisition of Guascor in May 2011.  While adverse decisions in certain of these litigation matters, claims and administrative proceedings could have a material effect on a particular period’s results of operations, subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities and the benefit of the indemnitiesfrom Ingersoll Rand and the sellers of Guascor, management believes that any future accruals with respect to these currently known contingencies would not have a material effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Shareholder Litigation

A putative class action lawsuit challenging the proposed merger with Siemens Energy, Inc. was filed on September 24, 2014 on behalf of Dresser-Rand Group Inc. stockholders in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  The action is captioned Soffer v. Volpe et al., C.A. No. 10165-CB (Del. Ch.) (the “Soffer Action”).  The complaint in the Soffer Action alleged that the directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by engaging in a flawed sale process, agreeing to sell the Company for inadequate consideration and agreeing to improper deal protection terms in the Merger Agreement.  In addition, the lawsuit alleged that the Company, Siemens and Dynamo Acquisition Corporation, the Delaware subsidiary formed by Siemens in connection with the transaction, aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duty.  The lawsuit sought, among other things, an injunction barring the merger. On October 21, 2014, plaintiffs amended the

F-41

DRESSER-RAND GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS―  (continued)

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

complaint to allege as additional basis for relief that the directors of the Company engaged in self-dealing because they will benefit from their compensation arrangements and/or the sale of their personal stakes in the Company and that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company on October 9, 2014, fails to provide stockholders with material information about the transaction and/or is materially misleading.  On October 24, 2014, Construction Industry & Laborers Union Local 872 Pension A Trust v. Dresser-Rand Group, Inc., et al, C.A. No. 10285-CB (Del. Ch.) (the “Labor Union Action”) was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  This complaint contained claims and allegations similar to those in the pre-amendment Soffer complaint and sought similar relief on behalf of the same putative class.  The Company believes that the lawsuits are without merit.

On November 10, 2014, the Soffer Action and the Labor Union Action were consolidated under the caption In re Dresser Rand Group, Inc.Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No. 10165-CB (Del. Ch.) (the “Consolidated Case”).  On November 14, 2014, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Consolidated Case in exchange for the Company’s making certain additional disclosures.  Those disclosures were contained in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 17, 2014.  The settlement remains subject to final documentation and court approval.

Guascor Purchase Price Dispute

On May 4, 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guascor pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) for approximately $543.2.  The purchase price was subject to a further adjustment to the extent that net debt (debt minus cash) at the end of business on May 4, 2011, was different from €124.5. Pursuant to the SPA, this adjustment is to be computed on the basis of Spanish generally accepted accounting principles (“SGAAP”).

The Company and the sellers of Guascor (“Sellers”) are in dispute about the amount of the purchase price adjustment set out in the SPA. In some cases, the Sellers and the Company have opposing views as to the amount that should be included in the price adjustment.  In other cases, the Sellers and the Company are in dispute as to whether certain items should be included in the net debt computation.  In accordance with the provisions of the SPA, the parties sought resolution of this dispute under an arbitration in the International Court of Commerce (“ICC”), which has provided its opinion,and now the parties await a ruling from a French court-appointed expert.  Based upon its interpretation of SGAAP, the Company has unresolved disputes totaling approximately $32.7 with the Sellers.

The Company has recorded a receivable from the Sellers for the purchase price adjustment, net of an allowance for the Company’s best estimate of amounts collectible.  This allowance was established by considering, for each disputed item, the Company’s view of its position under SGAAP, uncertainties around the expert’s interpretation of SGAAP, and the collectability of the amounts. As additional information becomes known and disputed items are resolved, changes to the allowance will be recorded directly to earnings.  The final resolution of these amounts could take several months and potentially years if appeals are pursued.  The final amount could be materially different than the net receivable recorded by the Company.  The Company, however, does not believe that the difference could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Painted Post Labor Litigation

In November 2007, Local 313 of IUE-CWA, the union that represents certain employees at the Company’s Painted Post, New York, facility (the “IUE”) made an offer to have its striking members return to work under the terms of the previously expired union agreement.  The Company rejected that offer and locked out these represented employees.  Approximately one week later, after reaching an impasse in negotiations, the Company exercised its right to implement the terms of its last contract offer, ended the lockout, and the employees represented by the IUE agreed to return to work under the implemented terms.  Subsequently, the IUE filed several unfair labor practice (“ULP”) charges against the Company with Region 3 of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), asserting multiple allegations arising from the protracted labor dispute, its termination, contract negotiations and related matters.

Region 3 of the NLRB decided to proceed to complaint on only one-third of the ULP allegations asserted by the IUE, while the remaining claims were dismissed.  Notably, the NLRB found that many of the critical aspects of the Company’s negotiations with the IUE were handled appropriately, including the NLRB’s findings that the union’s strike was not an unfair labor practice strike and the Company’s declaration of impasse and its unilateral implementation of its last offer were lawful. The Company, therefore, continued to operate under a more contemporary and competitive implemented contract offer while contract negotiations with the IUE continued in 2008 and 2009.  In November 2009, a collective bargaining

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS―  (continued)

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

agreement between the IUE and the Company was ratified, which agreement was renegotiated in 2013 and extended to March 2016.

The claims that proceeded to complaint before the NLRB included the Company’s handling of the one week lockout, the negotiation of the recall process used to return employees to the facility after reaching impasse and lifting the lockout, and the termination of two employees who engaged in misconduct on the picket line during the strike.  The trial of this matter took place before a NLRB Administrative Law Judge (the “ALJ”) in Elmira and Painted Post, New York, during the summer of 2009.  On January 29, 2010, the ALJ issued his decision in which he found in favor of the union on some issues and upheld the Company’s position on others.  The Company timely appealed the ALJ’s rulings against the Company to the NLRB in Washington, D.C.  On August 6, 2012, the NLRB affirmed the ALJ’s rulings.  The Company timely appealed the matter to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which stayed the proceedings in July 2013 pending a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on a constitutional issue, in an unrelated case, that is also in controversy in the Company’s appeal.  The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutional matter was decided in June 2014. That decision held that the NLRB that ruled on this and other cases was invalidly appointed by the President and the matters decided by that NLRB were also set aside as invalid. As a result, this matter has been returned to the current and validly appointed NLRB to be reheard in its entirety.  The Company continues to believe it complied with the law and that it will ultimately prevail with respect to these ULP allegations.  The litigation process, including further appeals, could reasonably take one to two years to resolve with finality.  Given the broad scope of possible remedies that may apply pursuant to conflicting case law, the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, if any, at this time.  Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Banco Santos Litigation

In July 2004, Guascor SA and Jaguari Energetica SA, subsidiaries of Guascor (collectively, the “GG Entities”), entered into an agreement (the “BNDES Agreement”) with the Bank of National Economic and Social Development (“BNDES”) for the construction of a hydroelectric dam in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (the “Project”).  Pursuant to the terms of the BNDES Agreement, in August 2004, the GG Entities entered into a separate agreement (the “Banco Santos Agreement”) with Banco Santos, a Brazilian bank previously based in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Pursuant to the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement, Banco Santos and the GG Entities agreed that: (i) in exchange for a fee paid by the GG Entities, Banco Santos would establish a reserve in favor of the GG Entities in the amount of R$3.6 (approximately $1.4) (the “Reserve”) to ensure that funds for a twelve month term would be available (if needed) by the GG Entities to fund their performance obligations under the BNDES Agreement; (ii) the GG Entities would issue twelve banking credit notes (the “Notes”) to Banco Santos (one for each of the twelve months), under which Notes the GG Entities would be obligated to make a payment to Banco Santos if the GG Entities used the applicable portion of the Reserve associated with a Note; and (iii) no portion of the Reserve would be invested by Banco Santos in any high risk investments.  The GG Entities completed the Project in December 2006 and fulfilled their obligations under the BNDES Agreement, without using any portion of the Reserve.  Accordingly, the Company believes that, pursuant to the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement, none of the Notes securing the Reserve became due or payable by the GG Entities to Banco Santos.  

In September 2004, Banco Santos, without the knowledge or consent of the GG Entities, transferred the Reserve to its affiliates, Santos Credit Yield (“SCY”) and Santos Credit Master (“SCM,” and together with SCY, the “BS Affiliates”).  Upon the receipt of the Reserve, the BS Affiliates invested the funds in a high risk investment, resulting in the loss of the entire Reserve.  In addition, concurrently with the transfer of the Reserve, Banco Santos assigned its rights in the Notes to the BS Affiliates.  Shortly after the assignment of the Notes, Banco Santos declared bankruptcy.        

The GG Entities commenced an action (the “Declaratory Action”) in the Civil Courts in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in April 2005 seeking a declaratory judgment that the BS Affiliates were barred from recovering any amounts with regard to the Notes because such Notes were null and void pursuant to the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement.

In December 2010, while the Declaratory Action was still pending, the BS Affiliates filed a separate action (the “BS Action”) in the Sao Paulo Civil Court seeking to recover from the GG Entities the amount of the Reserve.  The Court stayed the BS Action in September 2011 pending a final ruling in the Declaratory Action.  The GG Entities appealed the Court’s denial of their request for declaratory relief, and the Appellate Court ruled in their favor, and the GG Entities were not ordered to pay any amounts.  Banco Santos did not agree with the decision and has appealed to the Supreme Court.

DRESSER-RAND GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS―  (continued)

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

The Company believes that the chances of losing the case in the Supreme Court are remote, based on the factual circumstances and the applicable law, that Banco Santos and the BS Affiliates violated the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement and the payment terms of the Notes, and that the GG Entities should prevail in the final decision of the Declaratory Action and a similar case filed by the BS Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ultimate outcome of these proceedings is pending the Supreme Court’s decision and cannot be ascertained at this time.  The Company estimates that the total aggregate exposure for damages, interest and attorneys’ fees could be up to R$50.9 (approximately $19.2).  Moreover, the Company has an indemnification claim against the sellers of Guascor with regard to this matter.

Italian Value-Added Tax Claim

The Company is in litigation with the Italian tax authorities regarding value-added taxes for tax years 2005-2008 and the application of Italian and European Union laws.  The Company received an adverse judgment from the Italian Tax Court (i.e., the Commissione Tributaria Provinciale Di Genova) in February 2012 for tax years 2005-2006 for approximately €4.3 ($5.2).On March 6, 2014, as requested by the Italian Tax Court with regard to tax years 2007 and 2008, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued an advisory, preliminary ruling, which ruling supported the Company’s position with regard to the value-added tax regulations that no such taxes are owed.  The Company then requested that the Italian Tax Court issue its judgment with regard to tax years 2007 and 2008, which judgment the Company intends to present to the appeals court in connection with its appeal of the Italian Tax Court’s adverse judgment with respect to tax years 2005 and 2006.  On September 24, 2014, the Italian Tax Court issued its judgment with regard to tax years 2007 and 2008 in accordance with European Union recommendations.  The Italian tax authorities had six months to file an appeal.  On November 25, 2014 the Italian tax authorities issued an order reducing the tax.  As a result of this order, the Italian Tax Court has closed the action with respect to tax years 2007 and 2008.Based on the European Union preliminary ruling and the Italian Tax Court judgment for the tax years 2007 and 2008, the Company has requested the withdrawal of the tax authority’s claim with respect to tax years 2005 and 2006.  On February 16, 2015, the Company was informed that the tax authority waived its claim.  The Company is now requesting the Italian Tax Court to confirm the tax authority’s statement through a judgment to close the action with respect to tax years 2005 and 2006.  Upon award of the judgment, the Italian tax authorities will have six months to file an appeal.  The Company believes it has no exposure to this claim.

Lease Commitments

On December 28, 2007, the Company executed a lease transaction including a committed line of credit of up to €23.0 (approximately $27.8) that was used to fund construction of a new compressor testing facility (the “Facility”) in close proximity to the Company’s operation in France. The Company began leasing the Facility in January 2010, and is required to pay rent during the initial base term of the lease in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest payable by the lessor on the outstanding principal amount of the debt incurred by the lessor. Interest is determined by reference to the EURIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% and 2.50%.  At maturity, the Company may either terminate or, subject to the mutual agreement, extend the lease. The Company may purchase the Facility at any time for the amount of the lessor’s debt outstanding, including upon maturity of the lease. If the lease is terminated, the Company has guaranteed that the lessor will receive at least 80% of the cost of the Facility upon the sale of the Facility. The operating lease contains representations, warranties and covenants typical of such leases. Any event of default could accelerate the Company’s payments under the terms of the lease.

On February 12, 2015, the initial base term of the Company’s lease of the Facility expired and was terminated. On the same day, (i) the Company’s interest rate swap agreement utilized to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease expired, and (ii) the Company purchased the Facility for approximately €23.1 (approximately $26.1).

Certain office and warehouse facilities, transportation vehicles and data processing equipment are leased. Total rental expense relating to these leases was approximately $21.8,  $28.9 and $25.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2014, with terms in excess of one year for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $18.7 in 2015,  $15.5 in 2016,  $11.9 in 2017,  $8.5 in 2018,  $2.0 in 2019 and $13.1 thereafter.

17.Incentive Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan enables the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to award incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of common stock, restricted stock, performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and incentive bonuses (which may be paid in cash or stock or a combination thereof), any of which may be performance-based, with vesting and other award provisions, to Company employees (including officers) and other service providers. The Nominating and Governance Committee has similar rights under the 2008 Plan with respect to non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement with Siemens, upon closing the Merger, all unvested incentive stock-based compensation awards will immediately vest and become exercisable, with performance-based shares vesting at a level determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  At that time, all unrecognized stock-based compensation expense will accelerate.  The disclosures and tables below are based on the existing terms of our incentive stock-based compensation awards and do not reflect any impacts of the Merger Agreement with Siemens.The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2008 Plan is 6,000,000. The 2008 Plan is currently the sole plan for providing future grants of equity-based incentive compensation to eligible employees, non-employee directors and service providers. Expense for grants to employees under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the 2005 Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (collectively, the “Pre-existing Compensation Plans”), and the 2008 Plan totaled $25.8 for 2014,  $25.9 for 2013 and $28.4 for 2012. At December 31, 2014,  1,372,462 shares were available for future grants and total unrecognized deferred stock compensation expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 1.17 years for outstanding employee grants was $30.2. The Company currently expects to issue new shares upon exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock units.

The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options and stock appreciation rights granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $14.82,  $21.52 and $21.05, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2014, was approximately $5.3.  The tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options during the year ended December 31, 2014, was $1.6.  The aggregate intrinsic value of options and stock appreciation rights outstanding at December 31, 2014, was $64.6.   The total fair value of options and stock appreciation rights vested during the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $3.9,  $4.6 and $4.9, respectively.

The options and stock appreciation rights granted have a 10 year contract term. Restricted stock, options and stock appreciation rights granted prior to 2010 vest over a four year period. Beginning in 2010, the Company granted restricted stock, options and stock appreciation rights which vest over a three year period, as well as PRSUs. PRSUs vest annually over a three year period to the extent that the percentile rank of the shareholder return of the Company’s stock is at or above the 25th percentile of a selected peer group, with 16.67% vesting if such percentile rank is at this threshold level and up to 50.00% vesting if such percentile rank is at or above the 75th percentile of the selected peer group.

The Company estimates the grant date fair value of PRSUs using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model.  Estimated fair value is determined based on certain input parameters of the Company and the peer group, including the stock price at the beginning of the performance period and on the valuation date, annual expected rate of return over the performance period, annual expected volatility over the performance period and the correlation coefficient of the daily returns.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the

original estimates of fair value made by the Company. The following table presents the weighted-average grant date assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options and stock appreciation rights granted.

Dividend yield	-		-		-

The option term is the number of years that the company estimates that options will be outstanding prior to exercise. Volatility is based on the estimated daily price changes of the Company’s stock over the expected option term. Both of these estimates are based, in part, on similarly situated companies, as well as Company experience.

18.  Significant Clients and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company supplies equipment and services to the oil and gas industry, which is comprised of a relatively small number of consumers. Within any given year, sales can vary greatly due to the large projects that might be underway with any given oil and gas producer. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no one customer comprised more than 10% of sales.

The Company has operations and does business in various countries outside the U.S. It is possible that political instability, foreign currency devaluations or other unanticipated adverse events could materially affect the operations of the Company.At December 31, 2014, approximately 16.8%  of the Company’s net accounts receivable was from Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”).  The outstanding accounts receivable are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars, reducing the

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

risk associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.  Payments of approximately $56.3 were received during the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company believes that, based on this historical experience and discussions with PDVSA, the outstanding balance is ultimately collectible.  Consequently, a provision for bad debts has not been recorded for these accounts receivable.

19.  Other Expense, net

Other expense, net includes the following:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Foreign currency losses	$	(21.6)	$	(0.8)	$	(9.0)

Other miscellaneous income		1.0		4.5		3.2
Total other expense, net	$	(50.7)	$	(16.6)	$	-

Foreign currency losses relate primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.  The net loss from equity investments is primarily related to the acquisition of Ramgen during the year ended December 31, 2014.  The purchase of Ramgen resulted in a net loss to the Company of $11.7, which consisted of two components: (1) a loss on the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held interest of $18.3, and (2) a gain related to the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration of $6.6.  See Note 3,  Acquisitions and Other Investmentsfor additional information.

As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013, the Company recorded a nondeductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

20.Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”)

AOCI and the changes in AOCI by component, net of tax, were as follows:

At December 31, 2014	$	(192.7)	$	(0.1)	$	(71.8)	$	(264.6)

During the year ended December 31, 2014, foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss were $(123.2), primarily due to the weakening of the euro of approximately 12.0%.

21.Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments based on the engineering and production processes, and the products and services provided by each segment, as follows:

1) New units are predominately highly engineered solutions to new requests from clients. New units also include standardized equipment such as engines and single stage steam turbines. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, project management, packaging, testing, sales and administrative support.

F-49

DRESSER-RAND GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS―  (continued)

($ in millions, except per share amounts)

2) Aftermarket parts and services consist of support solutions for the existing population of installed equipment and the operation and maintenance of several types of energy plants. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, project management, installation, commissioning, start-up and other field services, repairs, overhauls, refurbishment, sales and administrative support.

These functions have been defined as the operating segments of the Company because they are the segments (1) that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information is available.

Unallocated amounts represent expenses and assets that cannot be assigned directly to either reportable segment because of their nature.  Unallocated net expenses include certain corporate expenses and research and development expenses.  Assets that are directly assigned to the two reportable segments are trade accounts receivable, net inventories and goodwill.  Unallocated assets include cash, prepaid expenses and other, deferred taxes, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. There are no significant intercompany transactions between our reportable segments.

Segment results for the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012 were as follows:

24.  Subsequent Event (Unaudited)

Restructuring

On February25, 2015, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a series of actions intended to improve operating performance. The Company has announced a planned reduction in workforce of approximately 8%, which covers its world-wide operations, and associated overhead costs from the different support disciplines. The announced actions include reduced overhead through the optimization of the Company’s workforce and non-cash charges (impairment and/or accelerated depreciation and amortization) related to the restructuring  or disposal of certain assets.  The Company currently estimates the overall pre-tax costs of the program at approximately $50.0.  These strategic initiatives originate from the Company’s efforts to identify opportunities to strengthen its value proposition, increase operational efficiencies, and improve financial performance.  We will begin initiating the announced actions in the first quarter of 2015 and expect to complete the actions by the end of 2015.

The amount of the restructuring charge noted above is an estimate, and the actual charges may vary materially based on various factors, including but not limited to the following: the timing of final asset dispositions; level of employee terminations; factors relating to real estate, such as sale proceeds and other related expenses; and changes in management’s assumptions.

DRESSER-RAND GROUP INC.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Award of restricted stock units granted to an employee or a nonemployee director of the Company under the Dresser-Rand Group Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), on or after January 1, 2015, which are evidenced by a Grant Notice or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions. 

1.TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

A.Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the Grantee named in the Grant Notice provided to said Grantee herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of a number of restricted stock units (the “Award”) specified in the Grant Notice.  Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Shares, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time.  For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall, unless the context requires otherwise, include a reference to any Affiliate, as such term is defined in the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined in this document have the meaning given to them in Plan or Grant Notice.

B.In the event there is a conflict between these Standard Terms and Conditions or the applicable Grant Notice and applicable local law, local law shall govern.

2.VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice and shall be forfeitable unless and until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of the Grant Notice and these Standard Terms and Conditions.  After the Grant Date, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Award shall become vested as described in the Grant Notice with respect to that number of restricted stock units as set forth in the Grant Notice.  Notwithstanding anything contained in these Standard Terms and Conditions to the contrary:

A. If the Grantee’s employment or other service terminates by reason of death or Disability before all of the restricted stock units have vested, a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units subject to the next vesting date shall become vested, and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the remaining Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination.  For purposes of this Section 2.A., "pro-rata portion" means a percentage, where the numerator is number of days between (a) the later of the grant date or last vesting

date and (b) the Grantee's termination, and the denominator is the number of days between (y) the later of the grant date or the last vesting date and (z) the final vesting date.

B. Subject to Section 9, if the Grantee's employment or other service terminates due to the Grantee's Retirement (as defined in Section 17.G below), the Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest under the schedule described in the Grant Notice; provided, however, that if the Grantee’s Retirement is less than twelve (12) months after the Grant Date, only the following portion of the Award shall continue to vest under the schedule described in the Grant Notice: (x) the number of restricted stock units granted hereunder, (y) multiplied by a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the number of full days from the Grant Date through the date of Retirement, and (II) the denominator of which is 365.  The remaining Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such Retirement.

C. If the Grantee’s employment or other service terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, any then unvested Restricted Stock Units held by the Grantee shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination.  

3.SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled by the delivery to the Grantee or a designated brokerage firm of one Share per vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as reasonably practicable following the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units, and in all events no later than March 15 of the year following the year of vesting (unless earlier delivery is required by Section 409A of the Code or delivery is deferred pursuant to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, if the Grantee is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the delivery of Shares shall be delayed until the six-month anniversary of the Grantee's separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A).

4.RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER

The Grantee shall have no voting rights or the right to receive any dividends with respect to Common Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such Common Shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

5.CHANGE IN CONTROL

The Restricted Stock Units shall be treated as follows if there is a Change in Control:

A.If the Restricted Stock Units are not continued, assumed or substituted by the Grantee's employer (or an Affiliate of such employer) that engages the Grantee immediately following the Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units shall fully vest upon the occurrence of the Change in Control.  For each Restricted

Stock Unit, the Grantee shall receive (i) the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the Change in Control, (ii) common stock of the successor to the Company with a value equal to the Change in Control Price, or (iii) cash equal to the Change in Control Price, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

B.If the Restricted Stock Units are continued, assumed or substituted  by the Grantee's employer (or an Affiliate of such employer) that engages the Grantee immediately following the Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest as provided in the Grant Notice; provided, however, that if the Grantee’s employment is terminated other than for Serious Misconduct, or the Grantee resigns for Good Reason, in either case within twelve months following the Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units shall fully vest upon such termination or resignation.

For purposes hereof, the Restricted Stock Units shall be considered “assumed” if, following the Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units confer the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Change in Control, (i) the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the Change in Control, or (ii) common stock of the successor to the Company of substantially equivalent economic value to the consideration received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the Change in Control (as determined by the Committee in its discretion).  The Restricted Stock Units will be considered “substituted for” if the successor or acquiror replaces the Restricted Stock Units with equity awards of substantially equivalent economic value measured as of the date the Change in Control occurs (as determined by the Committee in its discretion).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Section 409A of the Code applies to the Restricted Stock Units, any such action shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

6.RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF SHARES

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Grantee or other subsequent transfers by the Grantee of any Common Shares issued in respect of vested Restricted Stock Units, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Grantee and other holders and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

7.INCOME TAXES

The Company shall not deliver shares in respect of any Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Grantee has made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to satisfy applicable withholding tax obligations.  Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, withholding shall be effected by withholding Common Shares issuable in connection with the delivery of the Restricted Stock Units.  The Grantee acknowledges that the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required to be withheld by law in connection with the delivery of the Restricted Stock Units from any amounts payable by it to the Grantee (including, without limitation, future cash wages).

8.NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD

The Grantee represents and warrants that the Restricted Stock Units are being acquired by the Grantee solely for the Grantee’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.  The Grantee further understands, acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise directly or indirectly encumbered or disposed of except to the extent expressly permitted hereby and at all times in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission thereunder, and in compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and non-U.S. securities laws.  Unless permitted by the Committee, the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by the Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

9.RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES

A.By accepting the Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business; (ii) the Company has expended considerable time and resources to develop goodwill with its customers, vendors, and others, and to create, protect, and exploit its Confidential Information (as defined in Section 17.B below); (iii) the Company must continue to prevent the dilution of its goodwill and unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information to avoid irreparable harm to its legitimate business interests; (iv) the Grantee's participation in or direction of the Company's day-to-day operations and strategic planning are an integral part of the Company's continued success and goodwill; (v) in the period between the Grantee's notice to the Committee of the Grantee's Retirement and the date of the Grantee's Retirement (the "Transition Period"), the Grantee will participate in identifying a successor, transitioning his or her responsibilities to and training a successor, and engaging in other transition activities (the "Transition Process"); (vi) given the Grantee's position and responsibilities, including during the Transition Period, he or she necessarily will be relying on and/or creating Confidential Information that belongs to the Company and enhances the Company's goodwill; during the Transition Process will be transmitting Confidential Information to his or her successor; and in carrying out his or her responsibilities, including during the

Transition Process, the Grantee in turn will be relying on the Company's goodwill and the disclosure by the Company to him or her of Confidential Information; (vii) the Grantee will have access to Confidential Information, including concerning the Transition Process, that could be used by any competitor of the Company in a manner that would irreparably harm the Company's competitive position in the marketplace and dilute its goodwill; (viii) the Grantee's engaging in any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period would result in the inevitable disclosure or use of Confidential Information for the Competitor's benefit or to the detriment of the Company; (ix) the Grantee will return to the Company upon Retirement all the Confidential Information, in whatever form or media and all copies thereof, in his or her possession, custody, or control; (x) by giving advance notice of his or her Retirement, the Grantee represents that he or she will not engage in the Restricted Activities; (xi) the Company is relying on such representation in providing the Grantee continuing access to Confidential Information and authorizing him or her to engage in the Transition Process and other activities that will create new and additional Confidential Information during the Transition Period; and (xi) absent the Grantee's agreement to this Section 9, the Company would not authorize the Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and engage in other activities that provide access to or create new and additional Confidential Information in an unfettered fashion; and would not provide for the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

B.The Company, by granting the Restricted Stock Unit, and the Grantee, by accepting the Restricted Stock Unit, thus acknowledge and agree that during the remaining term of the Grantee's employment with the Company, including the Transition Period, the Grantee (i) will receive Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to the Company; (ii) will rely on and/or create Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to the Company; and (iii) will benefit, including without limitation by way of increased earnings and earning capacity, from the goodwill the Company has generated and from the Confidential Information.

C.Accordingly, in consideration of the promises of the Company set out in Section 9.B, the Restricted Stock Unit, and the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2, the Grantee agrees that:

1.He or she will not engage in any of the Restricted Activities (as defined in Section 17.E below) during the Restriction Period (as defined in Section 17.F below);

2.If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this Section 9, then (x) the Restricted Stock Units held by the Grantee that have not been settled shall immediately be forfeited and canceled (regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted Stock Units that have been settled, the Grantee

shall immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Shares associated with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units at the time of vesting;

3.If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this Section 9, the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed and, accordingly, that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including preliminary and permanent injunctions and specific performance, in the event the Grantee engages or threatens to engage in any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this Section 9, without the necessity of posting any bond or proving special damages or irreparable injury; and

4.Neither Section 9.C.2 nor Section 9.C.3 constitute the Company's exclusive remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the Grantee's obligations under this Section 9, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law or equity.

D.By accepting the Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictions contained in this Section 9 are ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, including without limitation the mutual promises and undertakings set out in Section 9.A and B, the Restricted Stock Unit, and the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2; (ii) the Company's promises and undertakings set out in these Standard Terms and Conditions, and in particular Section 9.B, the Grant Notice, and the Plan, and the Grantee's position and responsibilities with the Company and his or her promises and undertakings set out in Section 9.A, give rise to the Company's interest in restricting the Grantee's post-Retirement activities; (iii) such restrictions are designed to enforce the Grantee's promises and undertakings set out in Section 9.A and his or her common-law obligations and duties owed to the Company; (iv) the restrictions are reasonable and necessary, are valid and enforceable, and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the Company's goodwill, Confidential Information, and other legitimate business interests; (v) he or she will immediately notify the Company in writing should he or she believe or be advised that the provisions of this Section 9 are not, or likely are not, valid and enforceable; (vi) he or she will not challenge the enforceability of this Section 9; (vii) absent the Grantee's agreement to this Section 9, the Company would not authorize the Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and engage in other activities that provide access to or create new and additional Confidential Information in an unfettered fashion and would not provide for the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

E.The provisions of Section 2 providing for the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement and this Section 9 are mutually dependent and not

severable, and the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company would not provide for the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2 but for the Grantee's promises set out in and the enforceability of this Section 9.  Accordingly, if Section 9 or any part of it is ever declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Grantee agrees that (x) the Restricted Stock Units held by the Grantee that have not been settled shall immediately be forfeited and canceled (regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted Stock Units that have been settled, the Grantee shall immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Shares associated with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units at the time of vesting; provided that if the scope of the restrictions in this Section 9 as to time, geography, or scope of activities are deemed by court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law, the Grantee and the Company agree that the restrictions so deemed shall be, and are, automatically reformed to the maximum limitation permitted by such law.

Dresser-Rand

2015-2016 Executive Retention Bonus Plan

The Executive Retention Bonus Planis a specially designed plan to promote retention of certain key Dresser-Rand executives (ELT) who will be involved in the Dresser Rand/Siemens integration plan, by providing additional bonusopportunities, and to align/reward certain ELT members to target goals and achieve synergies in connection with the Siemens acquisition.  The Performance Measurement Periods under the Planare December 31, 2015 for Performance Metric 1 and the year ending December 31, 2016 for Performance Metric 2.

Performance is evaluated and payouts are calculated after the end of eachPerformance Measurement Period. Payouts are made according to the Participant’s home country payroll schedule, as further defined in  “Distribution of Awards”.

The target incentive is a value, determined by the CompensationCommittee, which will be individually communicated to each Participant.A Participant’s total aggregate  payout under the Plan may range from 0% to 150% of the target incentive, based on the performance criteria set forth in this document.

The Planis structured as follows:

Metric  1

Performance Metric– Planning(accounts for 1/3 of target incentive award)

Bonus payments shall be made upon achievement of “Metric 1” performance goals as determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each Participant.  Any such payments earned shall be made in February 2016.

Performance achievement forMetric 1 provides a payout range from 0%-100% of target award with an initial threshold of 25% performance achievement.

Metric 1 Payout Curve:

Metric  2

Performance Metric – Execution (accounts for 2/3 of target incentive award)

Bonus payments shall be made upon achievement of “Metric 2” performance goals as determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each Participant.   Any such payments earned shall be made in February 2017.

Performance achievement for Metric 2 provides for a payoutup to 200% of the target award upon approval of results, payable on a scale based on the percentage of total synergies and cost targets, as illustrated below.  Performance for total synergies and costs will be determined relative to target, with a weighting of 66.7% on expected synergies and a weighting of 33.3% on expected target cost and averaged for a final performance result (%).  The range of payout is 0% - 200%  with an initial threshold at 25% of performance achievement.

Period 2 Payout Curves:

End of Plan True-up/Maximum Payout

If Execution (Metric 2) total performance >135%, then the overall plan for both Planning and Execution metrics will pay maximum amounts  (i.e., 150% of target) in February 2017, net of payments made in February 2016.  In no event will the total payout to a Participant under the Plan exceed 150% of target (i.e., the Metric 2 payout would be reduced as necessary so that, when combined with the Metric 1 payout, the aggregate payout does not exceed 150% of target).

Executive Retention Bonus Plan General Administration

Eligibility:

The Executive Retention Bonus Plan is only open to Dresser-Rand Executive Leadership Team (ELT) members, excluding the CEO, CFO and VP & General Counsel, identified asof December 31, 2014.  

Determination of Awards:

Payment calculations will be based on the Participant’s pre-determined and approved incentive target award specified by the Compensation Committee.  Final calculated payments are rounded up to the nearest hundred dollars (USD). All calculations are completed in USD and converted using the D-R foreign exchange rates at the end of each Performance Measurement Period. Non-USD Awards are converted back to local currency after the incentive payment has been rounded.

Recoupment Provision:

Participants are obligated to reimburse to the Company all or such portion of any non-equity based incentive compensation paid under the Plan,that would not have been provided but for such Participant’s intentional misconduct (including, without limitation, knowingly creating a false document) that caused the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws requiring a restatement of any financial results which impact associated metrics.

Dresser-Rand has the right to recoup any and all incentive plan overpayments resulting from situations of, including but not limited to:

· Payout miscalculations;

· Financial inaccuracies;

· Participant ineligibility; and

· Incorrect employee data.  

Termination of Employment:

Unless otherwise determined by the Company and except as may otherwise be provided in a Participant's written agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant's employment terminates for any reason prior to the date on which an Award for a Performance Measurement Period is paid hereunder, such Participant shall forfeit all rights to such Award.

Distribution of Awards:

Following the Performance Measurement Period, each Participant's Award for the Performance Measurement Period will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and the Participant shall be eligible to receive his/herAwardbased on the achievement of the applicable performance criteria.  Awards toeligible Participants will receive their Awards by February 28 following the Performance Measurement Period for US-paid Participants; or by March 28 for Participants not paid from the US.

All amounts payable under the Plan are subject to all applicable tax and other legally-required withholdings.

Plan Termination/Amendment

If the closing of the Siemens transaction does not occur by December 31, 2015, no amounts will be paid under this Plan in any circumstance.  The Plan may be amended by the Compensation Committee prior to the closing of the Siemens transaction, provided that no such amendment shall adversely impact any Participant’s rights hereunder.

General Provisions:

The Executive Retention Bonus Plan does not constitute a contract of employment between any respective Plan Participants and the Company. Acquisitions, divestitures, changes in assignment, changes in accounting procedures or tax law, abnormal deviations to AOP and other income and expenses in financial statements, and/or corrections in historical data during the fiscal year may necessitate adjustments to the goals and/or actual results.  Achievement of performance goals will be audited consistent with the Company’s pre-closing standard practices.

In the event there is conflict between outlined terms and conditions and local law, local law will govern.

I hereby accept the terms and conditions of this Plan:

Restructuring

On February25, 2015, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a series of actions intended to improve operating performance. The Company has announced a planned reduction in workforce of approximately 8%, which covers its world-wide operations, and associated overhead costs from the different support disciplines. The announced actions include reduced overhead through the optimization of the Company’s workforce and non-cash charges (impairment and/or accelerated depreciation and amortization) related to the restructuring  or disposal of certain assets.  The Company currently estimates the overall pre-tax costs of the program at approximately $50.0.  These strategic initiatives originate from the Company’s efforts to identify opportunities to strengthen its value proposition, increase operational efficiencies, and improve financial performance.  We will begin initiating the announced actions in the first quarter of 2015 and expect to complete the actions by the end of 2015.

The amount of the restructuring charge noted above is an estimate, and the actual charges may vary materially based on various factors, including but not limited to the following: the timing of final asset dispositions; level of employee terminations; factors relating to real estate, such as sale proceeds and other related expenses; and changes in management’s assumptions.

Foreign currency losses relate primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.  The net loss from equity investments is primarily related to the acquisition of Ramgen during the year ended December 31, 2014.  The purchase of Ramgen resulted in a net loss to the Company of $11.7, which consisted of two components: (1) a loss on the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held interest of $18.3, and (2) a gain related to the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration of $6.6.  See Note 3,  Acquisitions and Other Investmentsfor additional information.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

21.Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments based on the engineering and production processes, and the products and services provided by each segment, as follows:

1) New units are predominately highly engineered solutions to new requests from clients. New units also include standardized equipment such as engines and single stage steam turbines. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, project management, packaging, testing, sales and administrative support.

2) Aftermarket parts and services consist of support solutions for the existing population of installed equipment and the operation and maintenance of several types of energy plants. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, project management, installation, commissioning, start-up and other field services, repairs, overhauls, refurbishment, sales and administrative support.

These functions have been defined as the operating segments of the Company because they are the segments (1) that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information is available.

Unallocated amounts represent expenses and assets that cannot be assigned directly to either reportable segment because of their nature.  Unallocated net expenses include certain corporate expenses and research and development expenses.  Assets that are directly assigned to the two reportable segments are trade accounts receivable, net inventories and goodwill.  Unallocated assets include cash, prepaid expenses and other, deferred taxes, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. There are no significant intercompany transactions between our reportable segments.

Segment results for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries or variable interest entities for which the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Fifty percent or less owned companies (which are not variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary), and for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method. Intercompany accounts and transactions among entities included in the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to fair values, allowance for losses on receivables, depreciation and amortization, inventory adjustments related to lower of cost or market, the carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation of assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, product warranties, sales allowances, taxes, pensions, postemployment benefits, stock-based compensation, stage of completion and ultimate profitability for certain long-term revenue contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method, contract losses, penalties, environmental contingencies, product liability, self-insurance programs and other contingencies (including purchase price contingencies).  Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value, as defined in U.S. GAAP, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Recurring Fair Value Measurements —  Fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and customer advance payments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements —Fair value measurements were applied with respect to the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which consists primarily of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, related to purchased businesses in business combinations and impairments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Recurring fair value measurement of financial instruments consist principally of foreign currency derivatives, an interest rate swap and fixed rate long-term debt.

Input levels used for fair value measurements are as follows:

		Input
Description	Disclosure	Level	Level 2 Inputs	Level 3 Inputs
Acquired assets and liabilities	Note 3	Level 3	Not applicable	Level 3 inputs are more fully described in Note 3.
Impairment of long-lived assets	Note 7	Level 3	Not applicable	Level 3 inputs are more fully described in Note 7.
Long-term debt (disclosure only)	Note 11	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active	Not applicable
Financial derivatives	Note 14	Level 2	Quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets	Not applicable

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. The nature of restrictions includes restrictions imposed by financing agreements such as debt service reserves. The Company is required to maintain sinking funds associated with certain of its borrowings, generally based on the short-term debt service requirements of such borrowings. Sinking fund requirements totaled $3.3 and $8.1 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and have been classified as restricted cash in the current assets section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Allowance for Losses on Receivables

Allowance for Losses on Receivables

The Company establishes an allowance for losses on receivables by applying specified percentages to the adjusted receivable aging categories. The percentage applied against the aging categories increases as the accounts become further past due so that accounts in excess of 360 days past due are initially considered for a 100% reserve. The allowance is further adjusted for specific customer accounts that have aged but collection is determined to be probable and accounts that have become past due but collection is determined to be doubtful due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues as identified by the Company.

Inventories, net

Inventories, net

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (generally first-in first-out or average) or market (estimated net realizable value). Cost includes labor, materials and facility overhead. A provision is also recorded for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory. Customer progress payments are credited to inventory and any payments in excess of our related investment in inventory are recorded as customer advance payments in current liabilities. Company progress payments to suppliers are included in work-in-process.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of buildings and improvements range from five years to 40 years; the useful lives of machinery and equipment range from three years to 10 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Interest

Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest costs for qualifying construction and upgrade projects. Capitalized interest costs were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Capitalized Software

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes computer software for internal use following the guidelines established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The amounts capitalized were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with its acquisition by First Reserve in 2004, as well as its acquisitions of other companies.  The Company performs its annual impairment assessment at the reporting unit level for each reporting unit that carries a balance of goodwill.  The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test described below.  If the Company believes that, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed.  Qualitative indicators including deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, or a sustained decrease in share price, among other things, may trigger the need for a quantitative impairment test of goodwill for a reporting unit.

The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment is performed at August 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired.  For instance, a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below book value, a significant change in business climate, as well as the qualitative indicators referenced above, may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill for one or all of its reporting units.

In 2014, the Company chose not to perform a qualitative analysis, but rather utilized a quantitative impairment test for both its reporting units.  The first step of the quantitative test involves comparing the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units with its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed.  The second step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of its goodwill.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding charge to operating expense. 

In the quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units by weighting the results from the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (guideline public company method).  Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions.  Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, weighted-average costs of capital, future market conditions and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry, among others.  The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in its impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated.  Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted to present value using risk-adjusted industry discount rates, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Cash flow projections are derived from operating forecasts, which are evaluated by management.  Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur, along with a terminal value derived from the reporting unit’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Under the guideline public company method, the Company determines fair value based on earnings multiples from publicly traded companies within our industry with economic prospects similar to each reporting unit. The selected multiples consider each reporting unit’s relative growth, profitability, size and risk relative to the selected guideline public companies.

The following table presents the significant estimates used by management in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units at August 31, 2014:

Years of cash flows before terminal value	5
Terminal growth rate	2.4%
Weighted average cost of capital	9.5%

Management also considered the sensitivity of its fair value estimates to changes in certain valuation assumptions and, after giving consideration to at least a 10% decrease in the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, the results of the assessment did not change.  However, circumstances such as market declines, unfavorable economic conditions, or other factors could impact the valuation of goodwill in future periods.

As a result of the decline in oil prices during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company evaluated the likelihood that goodwill had fallen below the carrying value of any of its reporting units.  Due to the offer price in the proposed merger with Siemens, described further in Note 1, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units is greater than their carrying value.

The Company amortizes its other intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives. See Note 8 for additional details regarding the components and estimated useful lives of intangible assets.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company determines the consolidated provision for income taxes for its operations on a legal entity, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Deferred taxes are provided for operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are measured by the enacted tax rates expected to apply when temporary differences are settled or realized. A valuation allowance is established on the deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination through any appeal and litigation processes based on the technical merits of the position and, if recognized, are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest on unrecognized tax positions as interest expense and estimated tax penalties as non-operating expenses.

Product Warranty

Product Warranty

Warranty accruals are recorded at the time the products are sold and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available.

Environmental Costs

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations that have no significant future economic benefit are expensed. Costs to prepare environmental site evaluations and feasibility studies are accrued when the Company commits to perform them. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The Company determines any required liability based on existing technology without reflecting any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies and discounting. Expenditures that prevent or mitigate environmental contamination that is yet to occur are capitalized.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition 

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the product or service has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client, risk of loss has transferred to the client, and either any required client acceptance has been obtained (or such provisions have lapsed) or we have objective evidence that the criteria specified in the client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The amount of revenue related to any contingency is not recognized until the contingency is resolved.

Multiple-element arrangements

A substantial portion of our arrangements are multiple-element revenue arrangements or contracts, where multiple products and/or services are involved. Products involved in multiple-element arrangements may include centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, power turbines, power recovery expanders, reciprocating compressors, steam turbines and engines. Our typical arrangement includes one of our classes of compressors and a driver (e.g., a motor, turbine or an engine).  In addition to our products, we perform installation and commissioning, training, and other services, and we purchase any number of standard or engineered items from third parties (“buyouts”) that support the application in which our equipment is being used.  Generally, buyouts, installation and commissioning, training and each of our products listed above are considered separate deliverables for a number of reasons, including the following:

· Clients would purchase each of those products or services apart from other products or services;

· The products and services being provided are at the request of the client and for the client’s sole benefit, apart from any other product or service in the transaction;

· The other deliverables can be performed without the service or product in question being performed or delivered;

· Contractual payments are typically tied to the delivery or performance of the specific product or service;

· The skills or equipment required to perform the services are readily available in the marketplace; and

· Clients attribute significant value to each product or service.

These contracts generally can take fifteen months or more to complete, but occasionally may take longer. The timing between the first deliverable and the last deliverable is generally three to twelve months, and services are typically delivered last.

Because the aforementioned separate deliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis, they are typically considered separate units of accounting. The entire contract value is allocated to each unit of accounting. Revenue allocated to products is recognized upon delivery, while revenue allocated to services is recognized when the service is performed. We use the selling price hierarchy described below to determine how to separate multiple-element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting:

· Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).

· Third-party evidence (“TPE”), if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available.

· Estimated selling price (“ESP”), determined in the same manner as that used to determine the price at which we sell the deliverables on a stand-alone basis if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available.

In substantially all of our multi-element arrangements, we use ESP to allocate arrangement consideration. We determine ESP based on our normal pricing and discounting practices. In determining ESP, we apply significant judgment as we weigh a variety of factors, based on the facts of the arrangement. We typically arrive at an ESP by considering client and entity-specific factors such as existing pricing, price discounts, geographies, competition, internal costs and profitability objectives.

Our sales arrangements do not include a general right of return of the delivered unit(s). In certain cases, the cancellation terms of a contract provide us with the opportunity to bill for certain incurred costs and penalties.

If it is determined that the separate deliverables do not have value on a stand-alone basis, the entire arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting, which results in revenue being recognized when the last unit is delivered based on the revenue recognition policy described above.

It is uncommon for the Company to have material contract scope adjustments that impact the selling price for specific units of accounting that would result in material changes in the allocation of the selling price.  In the event of such an adjustment, we apply the change in the allocation of the selling price to the units of accounting that are not yet delivered.  As our business and offerings evolve over time, our pricing practices may be required to be modified accordingly, which could result in changes in selling prices in subsequent periods.  Historically, there have been no material impacts, nor do we currently expect material impacts in the next twelve months, on our revenue recognition due to changes in our VSOE, TPE or ESP.

Percentage of completion

We also enter into certain large contracts with expanded construction-type scope and risk.  These contractual arrangements have a scope of activity that differs in substance from the scope of deliverables found in our traditional sales agreements.  For these types of contracts, we apply the guidelines of FASB ASC 605-35 —Provision for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts and utilize the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. Non-traditional scope arrangements include activities typically performed by engineering, procurement and construction contractors. Our clients on these projects typically require us to act as a general construction contractor for all or a portion of these projects. These arrangements are often executed in the form of turnkey contracts, where the Company designs, engineers, manufactures, constructs, transports, erects and hands over to the client at the designated destination point the fully commissioned and tested module or facility, which is ready for operation.  Percentage of completion revenue represents approximately 3.5%,6.5% and 0.8% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized as work on a contract progresses.  For each contractual arrangement that qualifies for the percentage of completion method of accounting, the Company recognizes revenue, cost of sales and gross profit in the amounts that are equivalent to a percentage of the total estimated contract sales value, estimated cost of sales and estimated gross profit to be achieved upon completion of the project.  This percentage is generally determined by dividing the cumulative amount of labor costs and labor converted material costs incurred to date by the sum of the cumulative costs incurred to date plus the estimated remaining costs to be incurred in order to complete the contract.  Preparing these estimates is a process requiring judgment.  Factors influencing these estimates include, but are not limited to, historical performance trends, inflationary trends, productivity and labor disruptions, availability of materials, claims, change orders and other factors.  In the event that the Company experiences changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales and gross profit, they would be recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment that recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s updated percentage of completion.

We apply the percentage of completion method of accounting to agreements when the following conditions exist:

· The costs are reasonably estimable;

· The contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding products and services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement;

· The customer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract; and

· We expect to perform all of our contractual obligations.

Cost of revenue for our construction-type contracts includes contract costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs that are attributable to contract activity.  Generally, we bill our customers based on advance billing terms or completion of certain contract milestones.  Cumulative costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.  Cumulative billings in excess of cumulative costs and estimated earnings recognized to date are included in accounts payable and accruals on the consolidated balance sheet.

We estimate the future costs and estimated gross profit that will be incurred related to sales arrangements to determine whether any arrangement will result in a loss. These costs include material, labor and overhead. Factors influencing these future costs include the availability of materials and skilled laborers. We record provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are identified.

Amounts billed to clients for shipping and handling are classified as sales of products with the related costs incurred included in cost of sales.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development and In-Process Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenditures are comprised of salaries, qualifying engineering costs and an allocation of related overhead costs, and are expensed when incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments, post-retirement benefit plan liability adjustments and fair value changes of financial instruments designated as hedges, net of tax, as applicable.

Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of non-United States (“U.S.”) consolidated entities that use the local currency as the functional currency are translated at year-end exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated using weighted-average-for-the-year exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are included in earnings only upon a sale or transfer which results in a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in earnings as incurred, except for those intercompany balances that are designated as long-term investments.

Inventory, prepaid expenses, warranty liabilities and property balances and related statement of income accounts of non-U.S. entities that use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency are translated using historical exchange rates. The resulting gains and losses are credited or charged to the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through its normal operating and financing activities, as well as through the use of financial instruments, principally forward exchange contracts.

The purpose of the Company’s currency hedging activities is to mitigate the economic impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets. To the extent that this is not practicable, the Company may enter into forward exchange contracts. Major exposure areas considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions and forecasted sales and purchases. The Company has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France.

The Company recognizes all derivatives used in hedging activities as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Any properly documented effective portion of a cash flow hedging instrument’s gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and is reclassified to earnings in the period during which the transaction being hedged affects income. Gains or losses subsequently reclassified from stockholders’ equity are classified in accordance with statement of income treatment of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedging instrument’s fair value change is immediately recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Classification in the Consolidated Statement of Income of the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s gain or loss is based on the statement of income classification of the transaction being hedged. If a cash flow hedging instrument does not qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes, the change in the fair value of the derivative is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in other expense, net. Except for the interest rate swap, the derivative financial instruments in existence at December 31, 2014 and 2013, were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The amount of compensation cost recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that has vested at that date.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Any legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may not be within our control is recognized as a liability at the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. U.S. GAAP acknowledges that, in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated if (a) it is evident that the fair value of the obligation is embodied in the acquisition of an asset, (b) an active market exists for the transfer of the obligation or, (c) sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate (1) the settlement date or the range of settlement dates, (2) the method of settlement or potential methods of settlement and (3) the probabilities associated with the range of potential settlement dates and potential settlement methods.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. In accordance with the amendments, an entity will measure the obligation as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangements among its co-obligors, and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 also require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). The amendments in ASU 2013-05 resolve the diversity in practice in applying Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation —  Overall, and Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters —  Translation of Financial Statements, when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary within a foreign entity. The amendments in ASU 2013-05 require the reporting entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary resided.  For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment, if significant influence is retained.  Additionally, the amendments clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity; and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (step acquisition). The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if the settlement of the deferred tax asset is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.  In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity, and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application not permitted.  Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The Company is currently evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. The revised consolidation standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted.  The Company is evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted.  Companies may use either a prospective or a retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The Company is evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”). The amendments in ASU 2015-01eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  Companies may use either a prospective or a retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). The amendments in ASU 2015-02 change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in this ASU using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Post-Retiements Benefits Other Than Pensions [Abstract]

Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

13.Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions

The Company sponsors post-retirement plans that cover certain eligible U.S. employees that provide for healthcare and life insurance benefits. The post-retirement health plans are generally contributory with the required retiree contributions adjusted annually, while the life insurance plans are fully paid for by the Company. The Company funds the post-retirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis. Healthcare coverage is coordinated with Medicare.

The post-retirement medical and life benefit coverage has been eliminated for certain future retirees, with the exception of some grandfathered employees.

Summary information on the Company’s plans was as follows:

	December 31,
	2014		2013
Change in benefit obligations:
Benefit obligation at beginning of the period	$	16.4	$	19.6
Interest cost		0.7		0.8
Benefits paid		(0.8)		(0.6)
Actuarial gains		(0.1)		(3.4)
Unfunded benefit obligation at end of the period and consolidated balance sheet liability	$	16.2	$	16.4
Amounts recognized in the balance sheet:
Current liabilities	$	1.2	$	1.3
Noncurrent liabilities		15.0		15.1
Total consolidated balance sheet liability	$	16.2	$	16.4
Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income:
Cumulative net actuarial loss	$	1.8	$	1.9
Cumulative net prior service credit		(0.6)		(0.6)
Total	$	1.2	$	1.3

The net actuarial loss and prior service credit for the post-retirement benefit plans other than pensions that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net post-retirement benefit income during 2015 is estimated to be less than $0.1.

Benefit payments for post-retirement benefits are expected to be paid as follows: $1.2 in 2015, $1.2 in 2016, $1.0 in 2017, $1.0 in 2018, $0.9 in 2019 and $4.3 in the aggregate for the years 2020 to 2024.

The components of the net post-retirement benefit expense (income) and amounts recognized in other comprehensive loss (income) were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Net post-retirement benefits expense (income)

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. We are indemnified by our former owner, Ingersoll Rand, for certain of these matters as part of Ingersoll Rand’s sale of the Company and by the sellers of Guascor for certain of these matters in connection with our acquisition of Guascor in May 2011.  While adverse decisions in certain of these litigation matters, claims and administrative proceedings could have a material effect on a particular period’s results of operations, subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities and the benefit of the indemnitiesfrom Ingersoll Rand and the sellers of Guascor, management believes that any future accruals with respect to these currently known contingencies would not have a material effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Shareholder Litigation

A putative class action lawsuit challenging the proposed merger with Siemens Energy, Inc. was filed on September 24, 2014 on behalf of Dresser-Rand Group Inc. stockholders in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  The action is captioned Soffer v. Volpe et al., C.A. No. 10165-CB (Del. Ch.) (the “Soffer Action”).  The complaint in the Soffer Action alleged that the directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by engaging in a flawed sale process, agreeing to sell the Company for inadequate consideration and agreeing to improper deal protection terms in the Merger Agreement.  In addition, the lawsuit alleged that the Company, Siemens and Dynamo Acquisition Corporation, the Delaware subsidiary formed by Siemens in connection with the transaction, aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duty.  The lawsuit sought, among other things, an injunction barring the merger. On October 21, 2014, plaintiffs amended the complaint to allege as additional basis for relief that the directors of the Company engaged in self-dealing because they will benefit from their compensation arrangements and/or the sale of their personal stakes in the Company and that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company on October 9, 2014, fails to provide stockholders with material information about the transaction and/or is materially misleading.  On October 24, 2014, Construction Industry & Laborers Union Local 872 Pension A Trust v. Dresser-Rand Group, Inc., et al, C.A. No. 10285-CB (Del. Ch.) (the “Labor Union Action”) was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  This complaint contained claims and allegations similar to those in the pre-amendment Soffer complaint and sought similar relief on behalf of the same putative class.  The Company believes that the lawsuits are without merit.

On November 10, 2014, the Soffer Action and the Labor Union Action were consolidated under the caption In re Dresser Rand Group, Inc.Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No. 10165-CB (Del. Ch.) (the “Consolidated Case”).  On November 14, 2014, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Consolidated Case in exchange for the Company’s making certain additional disclosures.  Those disclosures were contained in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 17, 2014.  The settlement remains subject to final documentation and court approval.

Guascor Purchase Price Dispute

On May 4, 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guascor pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) for approximately $543.2.  The purchase price was subject to a further adjustment to the extent that net debt (debt minus cash) at the end of business on May 4, 2011, was different from €124.5. Pursuant to the SPA, this adjustment is to be computed on the basis of Spanish generally accepted accounting principles (“SGAAP”).

The Company and the sellers of Guascor (“Sellers”) are in dispute about the amount of the purchase price adjustment set out in the SPA. In some cases, the Sellers and the Company have opposing views as to the amount that should be included in the price adjustment.  In other cases, the Sellers and the Company are in dispute as to whether certain items should be included in the net debt computation.  In accordance with the provisions of the SPA, the parties sought resolution of this dispute under an arbitration in the International Court of Commerce (“ICC”), which has provided its opinion, and now the parties await a ruling from a French court-appointed expert.  Based upon its interpretation of SGAAP, the Company has unresolved disputes totaling approximately $32.7 with the Sellers.

The Company has recorded a receivable from the Sellers for the purchase price adjustment, net of an allowance for the Company’s best estimate of amounts collectible.  This allowance was established by considering, for each disputed item, the Company’s view of its position under SGAAP, uncertainties around the expert’s interpretation of SGAAP, and the collectability of the amounts. As additional information becomes known and disputed items are resolved, changes to the allowance will be recorded directly to earnings.  The final resolution of these amounts could take several months and potentially years if appeals are pursued.  The final amount could be materially different than the net receivable recorded by the Company.  The Company, however, does not believe that the difference could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Painted Post Labor Litigation

In November 2007, Local 313 of IUE-CWA, the union that represents certain employees at the Company’s Painted Post, New York, facility (the “IUE”) made an offer to have its striking members return to work under the terms of the previously expired union agreement.  The Company rejected that offer and locked out these represented employees.  Approximately one week later, after reaching an impasse in negotiations, the Company exercised its right to implement the terms of its last contract offer, ended the lockout, and the employees represented by the IUE agreed to return to work under the implemented terms.  Subsequently, the IUE filed several unfair labor practice (“ULP”) charges against the Company with Region 3 of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), asserting multiple allegations arising from the protracted labor dispute, its termination, contract negotiations and related matters.

Region 3 of the NLRB decided to proceed to complaint on only one-third of the ULP allegations asserted by the IUE, while the remaining claims were dismissed.  Notably, the NLRB found that many of the critical aspects of the Company’s negotiations with the IUE were handled appropriately, including the NLRB’s findings that the union’s strike was not an unfair labor practice strike and the Company’s declaration of impasse and its unilateral implementation of its last offer were lawful. The Company, therefore, continued to operate under a more contemporary and competitive implemented contract offer while contract negotiations with the IUE continued in 2008 and 2009.  In November 2009, a collective bargaining agreement between the IUE and the Company was ratified, which agreement was renegotiated in 2013 and extended to March 2016.

The claims that proceeded to complaint before the NLRB included the Company’s handling of the one week lockout, the negotiation of the recall process used to return employees to the facility after reaching impasse and lifting the lockout, and the termination of two employees who engaged in misconduct on the picket line during the strike.  The trial of this matter took place before a NLRB Administrative Law Judge (the “ALJ”) in Elmira and Painted Post, New York, during the summer of 2009.  On January 29, 2010, the ALJ issued his decision in which he found in favor of the union on some issues and upheld the Company’s position on others.  The Company timely appealed the ALJ’s rulings against the Company to the NLRB in Washington, D.C.  On August 6, 2012, the NLRB affirmed the ALJ’s rulings.  The Company timely appealed the matter to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which stayed the proceedings in July 2013 pending a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on a constitutional issue, in an unrelated case, that is also in controversy in the Company’s appeal.  The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutional matter was decided in June 2014. That decision held that the NLRB that ruled on this and other cases was invalidly appointed by the President and the matters decided by that NLRB were also set aside as invalid. As a result, this matter has been returned to the current and validly appointed NLRB to be reheard in its entirety.  The Company continues to believe it complied with the law and that it will ultimately prevail with respect to these ULP allegations.  The litigation process, including further appeals, could reasonably take one to two years to resolve with finality.  Given the broad scope of possible remedies that may apply pursuant to conflicting case law, the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, if any, at this time.  Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Banco Santos Litigation

In July 2004, Guascor SA and Jaguari Energetica SA, subsidiaries of Guascor (collectively, the “GG Entities”), entered into an agreement (the “BNDES Agreement”) with the Bank of National Economic and Social Development (“BNDES”) for the construction of a hydroelectric dam in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (the “Project”).  Pursuant to the terms of the BNDES Agreement, in August 2004, the GG Entities entered into a separate agreement (the “Banco Santos Agreement”) with Banco Santos, a Brazilian bank previously based in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Pursuant to the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement, Banco Santos and the GG Entities agreed that: (i) in exchange for a fee paid by the GG Entities, Banco Santos would establish a reserve in favor of the GG Entities in the amount of R$3.6 (approximately $1.4) (the “Reserve”) to ensure that funds for a twelve month term would be available (if needed) by the GG Entities to fund their performance obligations under the BNDES Agreement; (ii) the GG Entities would issue twelve banking credit notes (the “Notes”) to Banco Santos (one for each of the twelve months), under which Notes the GG Entities would be obligated to make a payment to Banco Santos if the GG Entities used the applicable portion of the Reserve associated with a Note; and (iii) no portion of the Reserve would be invested by Banco Santos in any high risk investments.  The GG Entities completed the Project in December 2006 and fulfilled their obligations under the BNDES Agreement, without using any portion of the Reserve.  Accordingly, the Company believes that, pursuant to the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement, none of the Notes securing the Reserve became due or payable by the GG Entities to Banco Santos.  

In September 2004, Banco Santos, without the knowledge or consent of the GG Entities, transferred the Reserve to its affiliates, Santos Credit Yield (“SCY”) and Santos Credit Master (“SCM,” and together with SCY, the “BS Affiliates”).  Upon the receipt of the Reserve, the BS Affiliates invested the funds in a high risk investment, resulting in the loss of the entire Reserve.  In addition, concurrently with the transfer of the Reserve, Banco Santos assigned its rights in the Notes to the BS Affiliates.  Shortly after the assignment of the Notes, Banco Santos declared bankruptcy.        

The GG Entities commenced an action (the “Declaratory Action”) in the Civil Courts in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in April 2005 seeking a declaratory judgment that the BS Affiliates were barred from recovering any amounts with regard to the Notes because such Notes were null and void pursuant to the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement.

In December 2010, while the Declaratory Action was still pending, the BS Affiliates filed a separate action (the “BS Action”) in the Sao Paulo Civil Court seeking to recover from the GG Entities the amount of the Reserve.  The Court stayed the BS Action in September 2011 pending a final ruling in the Declaratory Action.  The GG Entities appealed the Court’s denial of their request for declaratory relief, and the Appellate Court ruled in their favor, and the GG Entities were not ordered to pay any amounts.  Banco Santos did not agree with the decision and has appealed to the Supreme Court.

The Company believes that the chances of losing the case in the Supreme Court are remote, based on the factual circumstances and the applicable law, that Banco Santos and the BS Affiliates violated the terms of the Banco Santos Agreement and the payment terms of the Notes, and that the GG Entities should prevail in the final decision of the Declaratory Action and a similar case filed by the BS Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ultimate outcome of these proceedings is pending the Supreme Court’s decision and cannot be ascertained at this time.  The Company estimates that the total aggregate exposure for damages, interest and attorneys’ fees could be up to R$50.9 (approximately $19.2).  Moreover, the Company has an indemnification claim against the sellers of Guascor with regard to this matter.

Italian Value-Added Tax Claim

The Company is in litigation with the Italian tax authorities regarding value-added taxes for tax years 2005-2008 and the application of Italian and European Union laws.  The Company received an adverse judgment from the Italian Tax Court (i.e., the Commissione Tributaria Provinciale Di Genova) in February 2012 for tax years 2005-2006 for approximately €4.3 ($5.2).On March 6, 2014, as requested by the Italian Tax Court with regard to tax years 2007 and 2008, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued an advisory, preliminary ruling, which ruling supported the Company’s position with regard to the value-added tax regulations that no such taxes are owed.  The Company then requested that the Italian Tax Court issue its judgment with regard to tax years 2007 and 2008, which judgment the Company intends to present to the appeals court in connection with its appeal of the Italian Tax Court’s adverse judgment with respect to tax years 2005 and 2006.  On September 24, 2014, the Italian Tax Court issued its judgment with regard to tax years 2007 and 2008 in accordance with European Union recommendations.  The Italian tax authorities had six months to file an appeal.  On November 25, 2014 the Italian tax authorities issued an order reducing the tax.  As a result of this order, the Italian Tax Court has closed the action with respect to tax years 2007 and 2008.  Based on the European Union preliminary ruling and the Italian Tax Court judgment for the tax years 2007 and 2008, the Company has requested the withdrawal of the tax authority’s claim with respect to tax years 2005 and 2006.  On February 16, 2015, the Company was informed that the tax authority waived its claim.  The Company is now requesting the Italian Tax Court to confirm the tax authority’s statement through a judgment to close the action with respect to tax years 2005 and 2006.  Upon award of the judgment, the Italian tax authorities will have six months to file an appeal.  The Company believes it has no exposure to this claim.

Lease Commitments

On December 28, 2007, the Company executed a lease transaction including a committed line of credit of up to €23.0 (approximately $27.8) that was used to fund construction of a new compressor testing facility (the “Facility”) in close proximity to the Company’s operation in France. The Company began leasing the Facility in January 2010, and is required to pay rent during the initial base term of the lease in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest payable by the lessor on the outstanding principal amount of the debt incurred by the lessor. Interest is determined by reference to the EURIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% and 2.50%. At maturity, the Company may either terminate or, subject to the mutual agreement, extend the lease. The Company may purchase the Facility at any time for the amount of the lessor’s debt outstanding, including upon maturity of the lease. If the lease is terminated, the Company has guaranteed that the lessor will receive at least 80% of the cost of the Facility upon the sale of the Facility. The operating lease contains representations, warranties and covenants typical of such leases. Any event of default could accelerate the Company’s payments under the terms of the lease. 

On February 12, 2015, the initial base term of the Company’s lease of the Facility expired and was terminated. On the same day, (i) the Company’s interest rate swap agreement utilized to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease expired, and (ii) the Company purchased the Facility for approximately €23.1 (approximately $26.1).

Certain office and warehouse facilities, transportation vehicles and data processing equipment are leased. Total rental expense relating to these leases was approximately $21.8,  $28.9 and $25.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2014, with terms in excess of one year for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $18.7 in 2015, $15.5 in 2016, $11.9 in 2017, $8.5 in 2018, $2.0 in 2019 and $13.1 thereafter.

3. Acquisitions and Other Investments

Acquisitions

On August 8, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to acquire financial control of Ramgen Power Systems, LLC (“Ramgen”), an entity in which the Company held a42.2%equity interest immediately preceding the acquisition date.  The Asset Purchase Agreement superseded all prior agreements between the Company and Ramgen.  Ramgen was developing compressor technology that applies proven supersonic aircraft technology to ground-based air and gas compressors. 

The Company previously acquired its equity interest in Ramgen through various investments totaling$34.4from 2008 to 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the remaining 57.8% of Ramgen’s assets in a business combination, in exchange for cash of approximately $1.0 and the rights to royalty payments from certain future sales made by the Company (“contingent consideration”). The acquisition gives the Company sole ownership of the supersonic compressor technology and, therefore, control over the continued development and commercialization of the supersonic compressor program.

The purchase of Ramgen resulted in a pre-tax loss to the Company of $11.7, which consisted of two components: (1) a loss of $18.3 on the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held interest, and (2) a gain of $6.6 related to the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration.

Because the business combination was achieved in stages, the Company re-measured its previously held equity interest in Ramgen at its acquisition-date fair value and recognized the resulting loss of $18.3 in other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2014, in the consolidated statement of income. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest of $10.3 was estimated using the cost aggregation approach based upon the underlying fair value of the assets of Ramgen.  Since Ramgen was a private company, the fair value measurement was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”).  The cost approach was applied to the property, plant and equipment based on the type of use, condition, square footage and other similar factors to determine the fair value of assets acquired.  The income approach was applied to the intangible assets using projected results, a market-based discount rate of 25.0% and a market-based royalty rate of 5.0%.  Acquired intangible assets consist of in-process research and development.

The Company believes that there are various factors that resulted in a negotiated purchase price for which the fair value of identifiable assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred.  Prior to the acquisition, Ramgen did not have a commercial function, and Dresser-Rand has a history of bringing new products to market.  There is considerable interest in the product as the Company has experienced significant inquiry volume since 2012.  In parallel with its efforts to gain a significant understanding of the technology, the Company continued to provide funding to Ramgen.  Ramgen would have incurred significant cost and delays in order to identify and engage another partner, arrange new funding, and commercialize the product.  Finally, there were certain protective provisions in the joint venture agreements which were negotiated in good faith, limiting the parties’ ability to sell shares, subcontract rights, or sell the technology without the other party’s consent.

The recorded amounts of the net assets acquired are as follows:

	August 8, 2014
Property, plant and equipment	$	10.0
Intangible assets		14.4
Deferred tax liabilities, net		(3.9)
Net assets acquired		20.5
Fair value of previous equity interest		(10.3)
Fair value of consideration:
Cash		(1.0)
Contingent consideration (non-cash)		(2.6)
Value of net assets acquired in excess of fair value of consideration	$	6.6

Acquired intangible assets consist of in-process research and development.

The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay royalties to Ramgen based on future sales related to the purchased products and technology for fifteen years upon commercialization.  The maximum amount payable shall not exceed $44.5.  The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on projected sales related to the purchased products and technology. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820.  The income approach was applied to the contingent consideration using projected results, an estimated discount rate of 25.0% and contractually negotiated royalty rates of 1.0% to 2.0%.

Consequently, the Company reassessed the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired in the Ramgen acquisition and concluded that all acquired assets were recognized and that the valuation procedures and resulting measures were appropriate.  As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the assets acquired in excess of the fair value of the consideration paid as a gain of $6.6 in other expense, net in the consolidated statement of income.

On January 4, 2012, the Company acquired Synchrony, Inc. (“Synchrony”), a technology development company with a portfolio of technologies and products including active magnetic bearings, low power, high speed motors and generators, and power electronics for clean, efficient and reliable rotating machinery.  Founded in 1993, Synchrony is headquartered in Roanoke County, Virginia, where it operates an ISO 9001 certified production facility, in-house test cells for high-speed machinery, a model shop for prototype fabrication and assembly and an on-site software integration laboratory.  Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired Synchrony for approximately $48.8, net of cash acquired, at which time Synchrony became a 100%-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company.  The acquisition gives the Company the ability to integrate Synchrony’s active magnetic bearing capability into its product development process and to offer oil-free solutions in high speed rotating equipment applications, the benefits of which include reduced footprint and weight of the application and more environmentally-friendly applications. The agreement included the potential for additional contingent consideration of up to a maximum of $10.0based on technical milestones and business performance.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had made all contractually required contingent consideration payments totaling $4.7 to the sellers of Synchrony.

Goodwill from the Synchrony acquisition principally resulted from expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business and the Company.  The amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of Synchrony is not deductible for income tax purposes. 

The acquisition price was allocated to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Pro forma financial information for the Ramgen and Synchrony acquisitions has not been presented because the effect on our financial results was not considered material. The financial results of Ramgen have been included in our consolidated financial results from the date of acquisition. Since the activities of Ramgen are principally research and development activities, the financial results of Ramgen have remained unallocated and have not been incorporated into the Company’s existing new units and aftermarket parts and services segments.The financial results of Synchrony have been included in our consolidated financial results from the date of acquisition and have been incorporated into the Company’s existing new units and aftermarket parts and services segments.

On June 28, 2013, the Company and Apex Compressed Air Energy Storage, LLC (“APEX”) formed Bethel Holdco, LLC (“Bethel”) to develop a 317 megawatt compressed air energy storage (“CAES”) facility to be constructed in the north zone of Texas.  The Company expects to manufacture and supply the compression trains, expansion trains, balance of plant process equipment and installation, commissioning, start-up and on-site testing services to a subsidiary of Bethel, subject to the project reaching full financing.  Although the project is not yet fully financed, management believes that the ability to finance the project will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.   As of December, 31, 2014, the Company had invested a total of$5.0for a5.7% ownership interest in Bethel.  The remaining 94.3% interest is held by APEX.  The Company has certain rights, but no obligations, to make additional capital contributions to Bethel.In connection with its investment in Bethel, the Company received an option tosell all ofitsinitial ownership interests in Bethelto APEX at such time on or after the second anniversary of the CAES facility achieving commercial operation that Bethel has a net positive amount of available cash to distribute to its members for a trailing twelve-month period.  The sale price under the option is the Company’s purchase price for the Bethel interests.On February 14, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Bethel to help fund the construction of the CAES facility.  The Company may loan Bethel an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0, with interest rates ranging from 8.0% to 16.0% per annum.  Loans made under the arrangement mature no later than eight years from the date of issuance.  As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Bethel loan receivable was $19.8, and is included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on its investment in Bethel is limited to amounts invested (including amounts loaned) plus any amounts the Company may choose to invest in the future.  In determining whether the Company should consolidate Bethel, the Company considered that its board participation, ownership interestand loan would not give the Company the power to direct the activities of Bethel and, consequently, would not result in the Company being the primary beneficiary.  The investment in Bethel is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the amount of the investment recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet is $4.8 at December 31, 2014.  The Company recognized revenues from APEX of $22.4 and $12.6 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a noncontrolling interest in Echogen Power Systems, LLC (“Echogen”), a privately-held technology company that is developing and commercializing power generation systems that harness waste heat for power and cooling applications using a proprietary supercritical carbon dioxide process technology. The Company will pay Echogen a royalty based on future equipment sales in these markets.  Aggregate minimum royalties of $6.0 must be paid in the first five years of commercialization, which has not begun, regardless of the amount of revenues generated, or the license will become non-exclusive.  On March 26, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for exclusive license rights to certain of Echogen’s intellectual property in exchange for $2.5 of cash and the relief of the Company’s obligation to provide certain equipment which was required under the original agreement. These exclusive license rights are represented by the remaining shares of Echogen held by the Company, which will be exchanged for an exclusive license if Echogen’s intellectual property is proven. Additionally, the Company matched other funding of $1.0 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had invested a total of $26.5 for a 33.9% noncontrolling interest in Echogen. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on its investment in Echogen is limited to amounts invested plus any amounts the Company may choose to invest in the future, if any. In determining whether the Company should consolidate Echogen, the Company considered that its board participation and ownership interest would not give the Company the power to direct the activities of Echogen and, consequently, would not result in the Company being the primary beneficiary.  The investment in Echogen is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the amount of the investment recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet is $14.2 at December 31, 2014.

In April 2009, the Company and Al Rushaid Petroleum Investment Company (“ARPIC”) executed a Business Venture Agreement to form a joint venture, Dresser-Rand Arabia LLC (“D-R Arabia”). D-R Arabia was formed to execute manufacturing, repair, and other services, and to provide technical expertise and training in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company and ARPIC each own approximately 50% of D-R Arabia. In determining whether the Company should consolidate D-R Arabia, the Company determined that its ownership, board participation and other related contractual rights would give the Company the ability to direct the activities of D-R Arabia, which would result in the Company being the primary beneficiary. Consequently, D-R Arabia is consolidated in the financial results of the Company.

At December 31, 2014, D-R Arabia has total assets of approximately $56.5 consisting principally of property, plant and equipment, and total liabilities of approximately $84.8, consisting principally of intercompany loans. The assets have been classified accordingly in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and the loans have been eliminated in consolidation. Both parties to the joint venture had signed a resolution committing to provide financial support to D-R Arabia, as needed, to meet the Company’s obligations as they became due through 2014.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries or variable interest entities for which the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Fifty percent or less owned companies (which are not variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary), and for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method. Intercompany accounts and transactions among entities included in the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to fair values, allowance for losses on receivables, depreciation and amortization, inventory adjustments related to lower of cost or market, the carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation of assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, product warranties, sales allowances, taxes, pensions, postemployment benefits, stock-based compensation, stage of completion and ultimate profitability for certain long-term revenue contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method, contract losses, penalties, environmental contingencies, product liability, self-insurance programs and other contingencies (including purchase price contingencies).  Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value, as defined in U.S. GAAP, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Recurring Fair Value Measurements —  Fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and customer advance payments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements —Fair value measurements were applied with respect to the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which consists primarily of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, related to purchased businesses in business combinations and impairments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Recurring fair value measurement of financial instruments consist principally of foreign currency derivatives, an interest rate swap and fixed rate long-term debt.

Input levels used for fair value measurements are as follows:

		Input
Description	Disclosure	Level	Level 2 Inputs	Level 3 Inputs
Acquired assets and liabilities	Note 3	Level 3	Not applicable	Level 3 inputs are more fully described in Note 3.
Impairment of long-lived assets	Note 7	Level 3	Not applicable	Level 3 inputs are more fully described in Note 7.
Long-term debt (disclosure only)	Note 11	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active	Not applicable
Financial derivatives	Note 14	Level 2	Quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets	Not applicable

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. The nature of restrictions includes restrictions imposed by financing agreements such as debt service reserves. The Company is required to maintain sinking funds associated with certain of its borrowings, generally based on the short-term debt service requirements of such borrowings. Sinking fund requirements totaled $3.3 and $8.1 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and have been classified as restricted cash in the current assets section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Allowance for Losses on Receivables

The Company establishes an allowance for losses on receivables by applying specified percentages to the adjusted receivable aging categories. The percentage applied against the aging categories increases as the accounts become further past due so that accounts in excess of 360 days past due are initially considered for a 100% reserve. The allowance is further adjusted for specific customer accounts that have aged but collection is determined to be probable and accounts that have become past due but collection is determined to be doubtful due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues as identified by the Company.

Inventories, net

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (generally first-in first-out or average) or market (estimated net realizable value). Cost includes labor, materials and facility overhead. A provision is also recorded for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory. Customer progress payments are credited to inventory and any payments in excess of our related investment in inventory are recorded as customer advance payments in current liabilities. Company progress payments to suppliers are included in work-in-process.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of buildings and improvements range from five years to 40 years; the useful lives of machinery and equipment range from three years to 10 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest costs for qualifying construction and upgrade projects. Capitalized interest costs were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes computer software for internal use following the guidelines established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The amounts capitalized were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with its acquisition by First Reserve in 2004, as well as its acquisitions of other companies.  The Company performs its annual impairment assessment at the reporting unit level for each reporting unit that carries a balance of goodwill.  The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test described below.  If the Company believes that, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed.  Qualitative indicators including deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, or a sustained decrease in share price, among other things, may trigger the need for a quantitative impairment test of goodwill for a reporting unit.

The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment is performed at August 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired.  For instance, a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below book value, a significant change in business climate, as well as the qualitative indicators referenced above, may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill for one or all of its reporting units.

In 2014, the Company chose not to perform a qualitative analysis, but rather utilized a quantitative impairment test for both its reporting units.  The first step of the quantitative test involves comparing the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units with its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed.  The second step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of its goodwill.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding charge to operating expense. 

In the quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units by weighting the results from the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (guideline public company method).  Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions.  Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, weighted-average costs of capital, future market conditions and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry, among others.  The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in its impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated.  Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted to present value using risk-adjusted industry discount rates, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Cash flow projections are derived from operating forecasts, which are evaluated by management.  Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur, along with a terminal value derived from the reporting unit’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Under the guideline public company method, the Company determines fair value based on earnings multiples from publicly traded companies within our industry with economic prospects similar to each reporting unit. The selected multiples consider each reporting unit’s relative growth, profitability, size and risk relative to the selected guideline public companies.

The following table presents the significant estimates used by management in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units at August 31, 2014:

Years of cash flows before terminal value	5
Terminal growth rate	2.4%
Weighted average cost of capital	9.5%

Management also considered the sensitivity of its fair value estimates to changes in certain valuation assumptions and, after giving consideration to at least a 10% decrease in the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, the results of the assessment did not change.  However, circumstances such as market declines, unfavorable economic conditions, or other factors could impact the valuation of goodwill in future periods.

As a result of the decline in oil prices during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company evaluated the likelihood that goodwill had fallen below the carrying value of any of its reporting units.  Due to the offer price in the proposed merger with Siemens, described further in Note 1, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units is greater than their carrying value.

The Company amortizes its other intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives. See Note 8 for additional details regarding the components and estimated useful lives of intangible assets.

Income Taxes

The Company determines the consolidated provision for income taxes for its operations on a legal entity, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Deferred taxes are provided for operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are measured by the enacted tax rates expected to apply when temporary differences are settled or realized. A valuation allowance is established on the deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination through any appeal and litigation processes based on the technical merits of the position and, if recognized, are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest on unrecognized tax positions as interest expense and estimated tax penalties as non-operating expenses.

Product Warranty

Warranty accruals are recorded at the time the products are sold and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations that have no significant future economic benefit are expensed. Costs to prepare environmental site evaluations and feasibility studies are accrued when the Company commits to perform them. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The Company determines any required liability based on existing technology without reflecting any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies and discounting. Expenditures that prevent or mitigate environmental contamination that is yet to occur are capitalized.

Revenue Recognition 

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the product or service has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client, risk of loss has transferred to the client, and either any required client acceptance has been obtained (or such provisions have lapsed) or we have objective evidence that the criteria specified in the client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The amount of revenue related to any contingency is not recognized until the contingency is resolved.

Multiple-element arrangements

A substantial portion of our arrangements are multiple-element revenue arrangements or contracts, where multiple products and/or services are involved. Products involved in multiple-element arrangements may include centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, power turbines, power recovery expanders, reciprocating compressors, steam turbines and engines. Our typical arrangement includes one of our classes of compressors and a driver (e.g., a motor, turbine or an engine).  In addition to our products, we perform installation and commissioning, training, and other services, and we purchase any number of standard or engineered items from third parties (“buyouts”) that support the application in which our equipment is being used.  Generally, buyouts, installation and commissioning, training and each of our products listed above are considered separate deliverables for a number of reasons, including the following:

· Clients would purchase each of those products or services apart from other products or services;

· The products and services being provided are at the request of the client and for the client’s sole benefit, apart from any other product or service in the transaction;

· The other deliverables can be performed without the service or product in question being performed or delivered;

· Contractual payments are typically tied to the delivery or performance of the specific product or service;

· The skills or equipment required to perform the services are readily available in the marketplace; and

· Clients attribute significant value to each product or service.

These contracts generally can take fifteen months or more to complete, but occasionally may take longer. The timing between the first deliverable and the last deliverable is generally three to twelve months, and services are typically delivered last.

Because the aforementioned separate deliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis, they are typically considered separate units of accounting. The entire contract value is allocated to each unit of accounting. Revenue allocated to products is recognized upon delivery, while revenue allocated to services is recognized when the service is performed. We use the selling price hierarchy described below to determine how to separate multiple-element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting:

· Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).

· Third-party evidence (“TPE”), if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available.

· Estimated selling price (“ESP”), determined in the same manner as that used to determine the price at which we sell the deliverables on a stand-alone basis if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available.

In substantially all of our multi-element arrangements, we use ESP to allocate arrangement consideration. We determine ESP based on our normal pricing and discounting practices. In determining ESP, we apply significant judgment as we weigh a variety of factors, based on the facts of the arrangement. We typically arrive at an ESP by considering client and entity-specific factors such as existing pricing, price discounts, geographies, competition, internal costs and profitability objectives.

Our sales arrangements do not include a general right of return of the delivered unit(s). In certain cases, the cancellation terms of a contract provide us with the opportunity to bill for certain incurred costs and penalties.

If it is determined that the separate deliverables do not have value on a stand-alone basis, the entire arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting, which results in revenue being recognized when the last unit is delivered based on the revenue recognition policy described above.

It is uncommon for the Company to have material contract scope adjustments that impact the selling price for specific units of accounting that would result in material changes in the allocation of the selling price.  In the event of such an adjustment, we apply the change in the allocation of the selling price to the units of accounting that are not yet delivered.  As our business and offerings evolve over time, our pricing practices may be required to be modified accordingly, which could result in changes in selling prices in subsequent periods.  Historically, there have been no material impacts, nor do we currently expect material impacts in the next twelve months, on our revenue recognition due to changes in our VSOE, TPE or ESP.

Percentage of completion

We also enter into certain large contracts with expanded construction-type scope and risk.  These contractual arrangements have a scope of activity that differs in substance from the scope of deliverables found in our traditional sales agreements.  For these types of contracts, we apply the guidelines of FASB ASC 605-35 —Provision for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts and utilize the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. Non-traditional scope arrangements include activities typically performed by engineering, procurement and construction contractors. Our clients on these projects typically require us to act as a general construction contractor for all or a portion of these projects. These arrangements are often executed in the form of turnkey contracts, where the Company designs, engineers, manufactures, constructs, transports, erects and hands over to the client at the designated destination point the fully commissioned and tested module or facility, which is ready for operation.  Percentage of completion revenue represents approximately 3.5%,6.5% and 0.8% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized as work on a contract progresses.  For each contractual arrangement that qualifies for the percentage of completion method of accounting, the Company recognizes revenue, cost of sales and gross profit in the amounts that are equivalent to a percentage of the total estimated contract sales value, estimated cost of sales and estimated gross profit to be achieved upon completion of the project.  This percentage is generally determined by dividing the cumulative amount of labor costs and labor converted material costs incurred to date by the sum of the cumulative costs incurred to date plus the estimated remaining costs to be incurred in order to complete the contract.  Preparing these estimates is a process requiring judgment.  Factors influencing these estimates include, but are not limited to, historical performance trends, inflationary trends, productivity and labor disruptions, availability of materials, claims, change orders and other factors.  In the event that the Company experiences changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales and gross profit, they would be recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment that recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s updated percentage of completion.

We apply the percentage of completion method of accounting to agreements when the following conditions exist:

· The costs are reasonably estimable;

· The contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding products and services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement;

· The customer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract; and

· We expect to perform all of our contractual obligations.

Cost of revenue for our construction-type contracts includes contract costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs that are attributable to contract activity.  Generally, we bill our customers based on advance billing terms or completion of certain contract milestones.  Cumulative costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.  Cumulative billings in excess of cumulative costs and estimated earnings recognized to date are included in accounts payable and accruals on the consolidated balance sheet.

We estimate the future costs and estimated gross profit that will be incurred related to sales arrangements to determine whether any arrangement will result in a loss. These costs include material, labor and overhead. Factors influencing these future costs include the availability of materials and skilled laborers. We record provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are identified.

Taxes Imposed on Revenue Transactions

The Company accounts for taxes imposed on specific revenue transactions, e.g., sales, value-added and similar taxes, on a net basis as such taxes are excluded from revenue and costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts billed to clients for shipping and handling are classified as sales of products with the related costs incurred included in cost of sales.

Research and Development and In-Process Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenditures are comprised of salaries, qualifying engineering costs and an allocation of related overhead costs, and are expensed when incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments, post-retirement benefit plan liability adjustments and fair value changes of financial instruments designated as hedges, net of tax, as applicable.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of non-United States (“U.S.”) consolidated entities that use the local currency as the functional currency are translated at year-end exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated using weighted-average-for-the-year exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are included in earnings only upon a sale or transfer which results in a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in earnings as incurred, except for those intercompany balances that are designated as long-term investments.

Inventory, prepaid expenses, warranty liabilities and property balances and related statement of income accounts of non-U.S. entities that use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency are translated using historical exchange rates. The resulting gains and losses are credited or charged to the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Financial Instruments

The Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through its normal operating and financing activities, as well as through the use of financial instruments, principally forward exchange contracts.

The purpose of the Company’s currency hedging activities is to mitigate the economic impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets. To the extent that this is not practicable, the Company may enter into forward exchange contracts. Major exposure areas considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions and forecasted sales and purchases. The Company has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France.

The Company recognizes all derivatives used in hedging activities as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Any properly documented effective portion of a cash flow hedging instrument’s gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and is reclassified to earnings in the period during which the transaction being hedged affects income. Gains or losses subsequently reclassified from stockholders’ equity are classified in accordance with statement of income treatment of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedging instrument’s fair value change is immediately recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Classification in the Consolidated Statement of Income of the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s gain or loss is based on the statement of income classification of the transaction being hedged. If a cash flow hedging instrument does not qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes, the change in the fair value of the derivative is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in other expense, net. Except for the interest rate swap, the derivative financial instruments in existence at December 31, 2014 and 2013, were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The amount of compensation cost recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that has vested at that date.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Any legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may not be within our control is recognized as a liability at the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. U.S. GAAP acknowledges that, in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated if (a) it is evident that the fair value of the obligation is embodied in the acquisition of an asset, (b) an active market exists for the transfer of the obligation or, (c) sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate (1) the settlement date or the range of settlement dates, (2) the method of settlement or potential methods of settlement and (3) the probabilities associated with the range of potential settlement dates and potential settlement methods.

New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. In accordance with the amendments, an entity will measure the obligation as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangements among its co-obligors, and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 also require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). The amendments in ASU 2013-05 resolve the diversity in practice in applying Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation —  Overall, and Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters —  Translation of Financial Statements, when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary within a foreign entity. The amendments in ASU 2013-05 require the reporting entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary resided.  For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment, if significant influence is retained.  Additionally, the amendments clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity; and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (step acquisition). The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if the settlement of the deferred tax asset is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.  In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity, and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application not permitted.  Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The Company is currently evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. The revised consolidation standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted.  The Company is evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted.  Companies may use either a prospective or a retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The Company is evaluating the new pronouncement to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”). The amendments in ASU 2015-01eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  Companies may use either a prospective or a retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and the Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use.  The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). The amendments in ASU 2015-02 change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in this ASU using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

14.  Financial Instruments (€ in millions)

The Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates through its normal operating and financing activities as well as through the use of financial instruments.

The purpose of the Company’s hedging activities is to mitigate the economic impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets.  To the extent that this is not practicable, the Company may enter into forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps.  Major exposure areas considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions, forecast sales and purchases and variable interest rates.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of €18.0 (approximately $21.8) and effectively converts substantially the entire interest component of the lease from a variable rate of interest to a fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.87% per annum. The initial base term of the lease expired in February 2015.  See Note 15 for additional discussion of the lease. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $0.4 and$0.7, respectively, and the related unrealized gain (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was$0.3,  $0.3 and ($0.1), respectively.  The interest rate swap matured in February 2015 and is no longer outstanding.

None of the Company’s other derivative financial instruments are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.  Changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income in other (expense)income, net.

All of the Company’s foreign currency derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements.  These arrangements provide for the option to settle contracts with a given counterparty on a net basis when they settle on the same day and the same currency.  In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event, and do not require the Company to post any cash collateral.  The Company has elected to present the derivative contracts on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company recognizes derivatives in prepaid expenses and other, or accounts payable and accruals, as appropriate, on the consolidated balance sheet and measures them at fair value each reporting period.  As of December 31, 2014, had the Company presented its derivative contracts on a net basis, the assets and liabilities presented in the table below would be offset by $4.0, resulting in net foreign currency exchange contracts assets and liabilities of $6.1 and $29.2, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013, had the Company presented its derivative contracts on a net basis, the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet would not be materially different from the presentation in the table below. 

The following table sets forth the Company’s gross foreign currency exchange contracts that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

	December 31,
	2014		2013
Foreign currency exchange contracts assets	$	10.1	$	5.4
Foreign currency exchange contracts liabilities	$	33.2	$	16.3

The notional amount for the forward exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $498.3 and $546.6, respectively.  The net foreign currency (losses)gains recognized for forward currency contracts were $(14.3),  ($14.7) and $7.9 for the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes

10.Income taxes

Income before income taxes was generated within the following jurisdictions:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
United States	$	54.1	$	98.7	$	92.5
Foreign		131.5		158.8		183.2
Total	$	185.6	$	257.5	$	275.7

The provision for income taxes was as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Current tax expense
United States	$	26.5	$	10.6	$	30.7

Total deferred		(36.5)		3.8		8.6
Total provision for income taxes	$	61.2	$	88.2	$	92.8

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount determined by applying the U.S. statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes as a result of the following differences:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
U.S. statutory rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Beginning balance	$	18.7	$	14.3	$	13.8
Increases based on tax positions related to current year		3.2		3.5		0.8

Settlements		-		(1.2)		(1.6)
Lapse in statute of limitations		(1.1)		(0.5)		(0.2)
Foreign currency adjustments		(1.4)		0.5		0.2
Ending balance	$	18.6	$	18.7	$	14.3

As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $18.6,  $18.7 and $14.3, respectively, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $1.4 of expense related to uncertain tax positions in the consolidated statement of income. We do not anticipate a material change to our uncertain tax positions during 2015. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest on unrecognized tax positions as interest expense and any estimated tax penalties as non-operating expenses. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction follow:

Jurisdiction	Open Years
Brazil	2009 - 2014
Canada	2009 - 2014

We operate in numerous countries and tax jurisdictions around the world and there is no assurance that future tax audits will not result in significant tax adjustments. Management believes that it has provided adequate estimated liabilities for taxes based on its understanding of the tax laws and regulations in those countries.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $414.5 and $371.1, respectively, were available to offset future taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions. If not utilized, these NOLs will begin to expire in 2015. Also, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, research and experimentation and other tax credits of $28.1 and $30.8, respectively, were available to reduce future foreign income tax liabilities. These tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely. Foreign tax credits as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $13.2 and $4.7, respectively. If not utilized, these credits will begin to expire in 2024.  Valuation allowances as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, of $134.9 and $121.2, respectively, have been recorded against these NOLs and certain other deferred tax assets for which it is more-likely-than-not that the tax benefits will not be realized. Forecasted and historical book earnings, tax deductible goodwill, interest expense related to the acquisition and deferred tax liabilities established as a result of acquisition accounting were all used to determine the amount of valuation allowance necessary to reflect the realizability of the related deferred tax assets.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, is principally due to a change in the mix of foreign earnings and incremental benefits of foreign tax credits. The Company was able to benefit from previously unrecognized foreign tax credits. The total impact of these items reduces the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, by approximately 5.1 percentage points.

On August 8, 2014, the Company acquired Ramgen, an entity in which the Company held an equity interest immediately preceding the acquisition date.  The acquisition of Ramgen is discussed more fully in Note 3.  The net pre-tax loss recognized on the Ramgen acquisition which is included in other expense, net in the consolidated financial statements, reduced the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, by 1.4 percentage points.

This decrease is offset by an increased amount of net operating losses in certain foreign countries, for which we could not record benefits under U.S. GAAP, thus increasing the effective tax rate by approximately 3.3 percentage points. 

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act (“ATRA”) of 2012 was signed into law. Some of the provisions were retroactive to January 1, 2012, including the “look through” exclusion from U.S. federal taxable income of certain interest, dividends, rents, and royalty income of foreign affiliates, as well as the tax benefits of the credits associated with that income and an extension of the research and experimentation credit. Therefore, as required by U.S. GAAP, a $4.4 benefit was reflected in the year ended December 31, 2013 as a discrete event.The look through exemption for foreign earnings provisions and the research and experimentation credit was extended in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The impact of the 2013 retroactive extension of these provisions caused an increase in the 2014 effective tax rate of approximately 1.7 percentage points as compared to the 2013 effective tax rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from current earnings to the U.S. of $14.9, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $7.1. The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, is a benefit of 3.0%. In June 2014, the Company decided to change its assertion with respect to the unremitted earnings of its Indian subsidiary and paid a cash dividend to the U.S. This change in management philosophy was due to the restrictive Indian exchange control laws prohibiting certain business uses of the cash being generated in India. The tax impact of this change in assertion and dividend payment resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $0.8.  

During the year ended December 31, 2013, our Luxembourg subsidiary paid a dividend from current earnings to the U.S. parent company of$47.5, generating U.S. foreign tax credits in excess of the statutory U.S. tax rate of approximately $10.6.  The impact of these credits and related reserves on the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, was a benefit of 3.4%.  

As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on February 8, 2013, the Company recorded a nondeductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $3.1 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Had this amount been deductible, our effective tax rate would have been 0.4% lower for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

Certain foreign subsidiaries are operating under tax holiday arrangements that began expiring during 2014, subject to potential extensions.  For the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, the impact of these tax holiday arrangements lowered income tax expense by $7.6  ($0.10 per diluted share), $9.1  ($0.12 per diluted share) and $2.1  ($0.03 per diluted share), respectively.

Except for earnings of our Indian subsidiary, and certain current earnings of our Luxembourg subsidiary remitted in 2014 and 2013, management has decided to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and, therefore, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided on those foreign earnings. If any indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings are distributed, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits), as well as withholding taxes imposed by certain foreign jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has accumulated undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $431.9.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

4.Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic income per share of common stock by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. We exclude non-vested shares of common stock issued in connection with our stock compensation plans from the calculation of the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding until those shares vest. The calculation of diluted income per share of common stock reflects the potential dilution under the treasury stock method that would occur if options issued under our stock compensation plans are exercised and includes any dilutive effect of non-vested shares of common stock issued. The calculation of diluted income per share of common stock excludes the potential exercise of anti-dilutive options. Following is a reconciliation of net income and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted income per share:

Impairment of Spanish Cogeneration Facilities

The Company has whole or majority ownership of six cogeneration facilities in Spain. The Spanish government published a ministerial order on June 20, 2014, that reflected a reduction in existing tariffs of approximately 38%, which was retroactive to July 2013.

The enacted order was issued in draft form in February 2014 and is an implementation regulation of a law that was passed in 2013.  The 2013 law did not have sufficient specificity to reasonably estimate the change in the tariff without the further order, but did provide that the existing tariffs would be paid on a provisional basis until the order was issued.  Before the initial draft was issued, the Company was not able to ascertain the changes to the tariffs, and therefore did not believe that assets would be impaired. Once the initial draft was issued, the Company determined that operating the cogeneration facilities would not be economical under the reduced tariff level and decided to suspend operations at the facilities.  Because the initial draft related to the 2013 law, the Company recorded the resulting impairment charge of $40.0 in the three months ended December 31, 2013.  The impairment charge solely impacted the aftermarket parts and services segment.

The impaired assets included land, power generation equipment, cogeneration plant equipment and structures. The land was valued using the market approach and the machinery and equipment was valued using the cost approach. The income approach was considered and applied to the total operations, but the income approach was not applied to the individual assets because these assets contribute to earnings jointly with many other economic factors.  No value was placed on the structures because it was determined that buildings would not be necessary for the highest and best use of the land.

The market approach was applied to the land based on discussions with local brokers considering the land’s size, shape, zoning, location, and other similar factors. This methodology was used because comparable land transactions and comparable current listings could not be located. 

The current replacement cost of a typical similar cogeneration facility was the basis used to estimate the replacement cost of the machinery and equipment.  Recoverability adjustments were applied to the current replacement cost based upon production hours since the last overhaul to reduce the estimated fair value accordingly.

The Company has initiated the liquidation process for all six of the cogeneration facilities.  The liquidation of all six facilities is subject to final approval by each of the legal entities’ boards of directors as well as the Spanish government, which is expected to occur in the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Because the Company continues to maintain financial control over these legal entities and the liquidation process is still subject to board and governmental approval, the balance sheets and the results of operations of the cogeneration facilities have been included in the consolidated continuing operations of the Company for all periods presented. 

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Any legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may not be within our control is recognized as a liability at the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. U.S. GAAP acknowledges that, in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.

We are legally obligated to decommission certain of our cogeneration sites in Brazil and Spain upon site exit.  The Company has not recorded any conditional asset retirement obligations for its cogeneration facilities in Brazil because there is no current active market in which the obligations could be transferred and we do not have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the range of settlement dates and their related probabilities. The Company believes any obligations arising from decommissioning activities in Brazil are immaterial to the financial statements.  In connection with suspension of certain of its cogeneration facilities in Spain, the legal obligation to decommission became reasonably estimable, and the Company recorded a conditional asset retirement obligation related to its Spanish cogeneration facilities in 2014.  The changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations were as follows:

Pension Plans

12. Pension Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans at U.S. and non-U.S. locations. The U.S. qualified pension plan covers salaried, non-union hourly and certain bargaining unit employees. The benefits are largely frozen, with the exception of those for certain bargaining units, which accumulate according to a flat dollar formula that is not related to future earnings levels. Those employees whose benefits are frozen participate in a defined contribution plan. The defined benefit pension plans sponsored by the Company outside the U.S. are generally not frozen, with future benefits being determined using pensionable earnings and service at the time of determination.

Information regarding our pension plans is as follows as of, and for the years ended, December 31:

In 2014, the Company amended its U.S. defined benefit pension plans related to lump sum benefit eligibility, and began notifying certain former employees of the Company’s offer to pay those employees’ vested pension benefit in a lump sum.  The Company offered the one-time voluntary lump sum payout in an effort to reduce its long-term pension obligations and ongoing annual pension expense.  The Company made payments during 2014 of approximately $12.9 to former employees who accepted the offer by the deadline.  These payments were funded from existing pension plan assets and reduced the Company’s total qualified pension plan liabilities by $16.5.  Settlement accounting was not required as the total lump sum payments during 2014 were below the minimum settlement accounting thresholds for the plans.

In 2013, the Company amended its Norwegian defined benefit pension plan to discontinue the benefits, which resulted in a curtailment, and concurrently converted the plan to a defined contribution plan, that was considered a plan settlement.  As a result, the Company recognized a $3.6 gain in the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The components of the net pension expense and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income include the following for the years ended December 31:

	U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans

The weighted-average assumptions used for benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost is as follows as of, and for the years ended, December 31:

	U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans
	2014		2013		2012		2014		2013		2012
Weighted-average assumptions
used for benefit obligations:
Discount rate	3.90	%	4.70	%	3.80	%	3.26	%	4.07	%	4.15	%
Rate of compensation increase	0.13	%	0.13	%	0.13	%	2.16	%	2.58	%	2.51	%
Weighted-average assumptions
used for net periodic pension cost:
Discount rate	4.70	%	3.80	%	4.60	%	4.07	%	4.15	%	4.76	%
Rate of compensation increase	0.13	%	0.13	%	0.15	%	2.58	%	2.51	%	2.69	%
Expected return on plan assets	7.50	%	7.50	%	7.50	%	5.64	%	5.44	%	6.09	%

The Company develops an assumed discount rate for each plan, where possible, using the yields on high-quality corporate bonds with maturities that match the forecasted cash flow requirements of the plan. In locations where a cash flow matching approach is not feasible, due to a lack of available corporate bond information, alternative methods, such as government bond yield information, are used to determine an appropriate discount rate, taking into account the duration of the plan liabilities.

The net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net pension expense during 2015 is estimated to be $7.1 and $0.6 for the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively.  

Information for pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets is as follows at December 31:

	U.S. Plans				Non-U.S. Plans
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Projected benefit obligation	$	309.7	$	286.1	$	21.8	$	31.1
Accumulated benefit obligation		309.7		286.1		16.2		27.1
Fair value of plan assets		244.5		247.0		1.9		11.2

The Company uses an annual measurement date of December 31. The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are determined as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rates of return are projected to be the rates of return to be earned over the period until the benefits are paid. Accordingly, the long-term rates of return should reflect the rates of return on present investments and expected contributions to be received during the current year and on reinvestments over the period. The rates of return utilized reflect the expected rates of return during the periods for which the payment of benefits is deferred. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used is based on what is realistically achievable based on the types of assets held by the plans and the plans’ investment policy. Historical asset return trends for the larger plans are reviewed over fifteen,  ten and five years. The Company reviews each plan and its historical returns and asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used.

(1)U.S. Fixed Income: Includes investments in the broad fixed income market such as government and agency bonds, mortgage bonds, and corporate bonds. Duration of the bonds may range from short (e.g., three months or less) to very long (e.g., 12 years or longer). Credit quality of U.S. Fixed Income is generally high quality in nature (e.g., AAA to BBB) but can also include lower quality or high yield bonds (e.g., BB or lower). Common indices are the Barclays Aggregate and Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Index.

(2)Global Asset Allocations: Broadly diversified strategy where investment managers have the capacity to invest in multiple asset classes and the ability to alter asset class allocations with agreed tolerances. In some cases, there are no common indices for the assets in this asset class and typically a blended index of equities and fixed income is utilized, ex. 60% S&P 500/40% Barclays Aggregate.

Non-U.S. Plans

The asset allocations of the Company’s non-U.S. pension plans by asset category are as follows:

Level 3 assets consist of annuities held as investments within the plan that cover a set amount of liabilities and the effect of changes in the values of the related assets and liabilities are generally offsetting.  Level 3 assets also consist of annuities that require contribution premiums to fund ongoing liabilities as required by foreign governmental regulations.  Annuities are valued using standard actuarial calculations such as discount rates, mortality rates and participant population.

The Company’s investment objectives in managing its defined benefit plan assets are to provide reasonable assurance that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long-term, maximizes the ratio of the plan assets to liabilities, while minimizing the present value of required Company contributions at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory requirements, laws and local regulatory agencies’ requirements. Key investment decisions involving asset allocations, investment manager structure, investment managers, investment advisors and trustees or custodians are reviewed regularly. An asset liability modeling study is used as the basis for aggregated asset allocation decisions and updated approximately every five years or as required. The Company’s current global asset allocation strategy for its pension plans is 60% in equity securities and 40% in debt securities and cash excluding those assets in non-U.S. plans required by regulation to be in insurance contracts or other similar assets. The Company sets upper limits and lower limits of plus or minus 5%. The rebalancing strategy is reviewed quarterly if cash flows are not sufficient to rebalance the plans and appropriate action is taken to bring the plans within the strategic allocation ranges.

The Company’s policy is to contribute to the U.S. qualified plan the amount necessary to maintain benefits under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and additional discretionary amounts, up to the limitations imposed by the applicable tax codes. Contributions to the UK pension plans are determined in agreement with the plan trustees. Contributions to funded plans in other countries are based on applicable local funding requirements. The Company currently estimates that it will contribute to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans approximately$0.0 and $3.9, respectively, in 2015.

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company contributed approximately$1.1,$1.1 and $1.0, respectively, to two multiemployer plans that are insignificant to the Company individually and in the aggregate.

U.S. pension benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: $16.9 in 2015, $17.6 in 2016, $18.3 in 2017, $19.0 in 2018, $19.8 in 2019 and $103.3 for the years 2020 to 2024.  Non-U.S. pension benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: $6.3 in 2015, $6.3 in 2016, $6.3 in 2017, $6.8 in 2018, $6.9 in 2019 and $36.5 for the years 2020 to 2024.

Defined Contribution Plans

Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are covered by savings and other defined contribution plans. Employer contributions and costs are determined based on criteria specific to the individual plans and were $17.1,  $18.2 and $16.5 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s costs relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans, insured plans and other non-U.S. benefit plans were approximately  $6.0,  $4.0 and $3.4 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Certain key employees of the Companyare eligible to participate, on a voluntary basis, in the Dresser-Rand Company Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Retirement Plan (“Non-Qualified Plan”).  On an annual basis, eligible participants elect to defer a percentage of their eligible annual base salary and/or annual incentive payment as contributions to the Non-Qualified Plan and elect the manner in which their account balance be distributed upon termination.  The Company accounts for the deferred compensation arrangements of the Non-Qualified Plan, which are invested in mutual funds and held in a rabbi trust, separately as assets and liabilities of the Company. The assets of the Non-Qualified Plan, which are held in the rabbi trust, are subject to additional risk of loss in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The Company recorded net compensation expense adjustments to the liability of $4.0,  $4.0 and $4.3 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Incentive Stock-Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]

Incentive Stock-Based Compensation Plans

17.Incentive Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan enables the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to award incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of common stock, restricted stock, performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and incentive bonuses (which may be paid in cash or stock or a combination thereof), any of which may be performance-based, with vesting and other award provisions, to Company employees (including officers) and other service providers. The Nominating and Governance Committee has similar rights under the 2008 Plan with respect to non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement with Siemens, upon closing the Merger, all unvested incentive stock-based compensation awards will immediately vest and become exercisable, with performance-based shares vesting at a level determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  At that time, all unrecognized stock-based compensation expense will accelerate.  The disclosures and tables below are based on the existing terms of our incentive stock-based compensation awards and do not reflect any impacts of the Merger Agreement with Siemens. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2008 Plan is 6,000,000. The 2008 Plan is currently the sole plan for providing future grants of equity-based incentive compensation to eligible employees, non-employee directors and service providers. Expense for grants to employees under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the 2005 Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (collectively, the “Pre-existing Compensation Plans”), and the 2008 Plan totaled $25.8 for 2014, $25.9 for 2013 and $28.4 for 2012. At December 31, 2014, 1,372,462 shares were available for future grants and total unrecognized deferred stock compensation expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 1.17 years for outstanding employee grants was $30.2. The Company currently expects to issue new shares upon exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock units.

The following table summarizes option and stock appreciation right activity during 2014, 2013 and 2012:

Exercisable December 31, 2014	1,106,160	$	32.77

The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options and stock appreciation rights granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $14.82,  $21.52 and $21.05, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2014, was approximately $5.3. The tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options during the year ended December 31, 2014, was $1.6. The aggregate intrinsic value of options and stock appreciation rights outstanding at December 31, 2014, was $64.6.  The total fair value of options and stock appreciation rights vested during the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $3.9,  $4.6 and $4.9, respectively.

The options and stock appreciation rights granted have a 10 year contract term. Restricted stock, options and stock appreciation rights granted prior to 2010 vest over a four year period. Beginning in 2010, the Company granted restricted stock, options and stock appreciation rights which vest over a three year period, as well as PRSUs. PRSUs vest annually over a three year period to the extent that the percentile rank of the shareholder return of the Company’s stock is at or above the 25th percentile of a selected peer group, with 16.67% vesting if such percentile rank is at this threshold level and up to 50.00% vesting if such percentile rank is at or above the 75th percentile of the selected peer group.

The Company estimates the grant date fair value of PRSUs using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model.  Estimated fair value is determined based on certain input parameters of the Company and the peer group, including the stock price at the beginning of the performance period and on the valuation date, annual expected rate of return over the performance period, annual expected volatility over the performance period and the correlation coefficient of the daily returns.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company. The following table presents the weighted-average grant date assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options and stock appreciation rights granted.

	2014		2013		2012
Option term  (years)	3.9		5.0		5.0
Volatility	29.1	%	38.4	%	45.4	%
Risk-free interest rate (zero coupon U.S. Treasury note)	1.12	%	0.92	%	0.81	%
Dividend yield	-		-		-

The option term is the number of years that the company estimates that options will be outstanding prior to exercise. Volatility is based on the estimated daily price changes of the Company’s stock over the expected option term. Both of these estimates are based, in part, on similarly situated companies, as well as Company experience.

The following table summarizes employee shares, share units and PRSU activity during 2014, 2013 and 2012, and grant date fair values:

The total fair value of restricted stock awards which vested during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $17.0,  $51.9 and $25.1, respectively.

The Company also grants shares to non-employee Directors. Shares granted to non-employee Directors after fiscal year 2008 vest after a one year period. Shares granted to non-employee Directors after 2012 vest immediately. The total fair value of the15,736 shares granted in 2014 at the respective grant dates was $0.9, the 13,972 shares granted in 2013 at the respective grant dates was $0.8 and the 15,459 shares granted in 2012 at the respective grant dates was $0.8.

Business Activities

1.Business Activities

Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Delaware (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Dresser-Rand”), commenced operations on October 30, 2004, when it acquired Dresser-Rand Company and the operations of Dresser-Rand Canada, Inc. and Dresser-Rand GmbH (the “Acquisition”) from Ingersoll Rand Company Limited (“Ingersoll Rand”). The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and servicing of centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, gas and steam turbines, gas expanders, diesel, gas and dual fuel engines and associated control panels.

On September 21, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Siemens Energy, Inc. (“Siemens”) whereby Siemens will acquire the Company (the “Merger”).  The Merger received stockholder approval on November 20, 2014.  The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions including, among others, customary regulatory approvals.

At the time the Merger becomes effective, each outstanding share of Dresser-Rand common stock (excluding any shares held by Siemens, its subsidiaries, Dresser-Rand and dissenting shares in accordance with Delaware law), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of (i) $83.00 per share plus (ii) $0.55 per share on the first of each month until the date of closing beginning on March 1, 2015.

In connection with the acquisition related activities, the Company incurred $15.4 of legal, accounting, fiscal and investment bank transaction related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014.

On September 21, 2014, the board of directors of the Company also adopted a limited duration Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Plan”) and created 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share.  Pursuant to the Plan, the board of directors declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (each a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) on each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on October 2, 2014.  Each Right, once exercisable, will entitle shareholders to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $300 per Right, subject to adjustment.

The Rights are exercisable ten days following a public announcement that certain persons or groups (other than Siemens or any of its affiliates or associates acting pursuant to the Merger Agreement) have acquired beneficial ownership of 10.0% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock or ten business days after the commencement of an offer, that if completed, would result in certain persons or groups having beneficial ownership of 10.0% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (a “flip-in event”).  The Plan provides that the ownership of shareholders that beneficially own 10.0% or more of the Company’s common stock on the date of adoption of the Plan will be grandfathered, but the Rights would become exercisable if at any time any such shareholder increases its ownership percentage by 1.0% or more.  The Rights become exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock at 50.0% of the then-market price of the common stock.  Derivative interests in the Company’s common stock, such as swap arrangements, regardless of whether such arrangements carry with them the right to control voting or disposition of the underlying securities, are also considered beneficial ownership of the underlying common stock for purposes of the Plan.

If a 10.0% or more shareholder of the Company acquires Dresser-Rand, by merger or otherwise, in a transaction where the Company does not survive, the Company’s common stock is changed or exchanged or 50.0% or more of the Company’s assets, cash flow or earnings power is sold or transferred (a “flip-over event”), the Rights become exercisable for shares of the common stock of the company acquiring Dresser-Rand at 50.0% of the then-market price for Dresser-Rand common stock.

Any Rights that are or were beneficially owned by a person who has acquired 10.0% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and who engages in certain transactions or realizes the benefits of certain transactions with the Company will become null and void.  If an offer to acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock is determined to be fair by the board of directors, the transaction will not trigger a flip-in event or a flip-over event.  The Company may also redeem the Rights at $0.01 per Right at any time prior to a flip-in event.  These Rights are set to expire no later than September 22, 2015.

With respect to the audited consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events through February 27, 2015, the date the audited consolidated financial statements were issued.

Significant Concentration Of Credit Risk [Abstract]

Significant Concentration Of Credit Risk

18.  Significant Clients and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company supplies equipment and services to the oil and gas industry, which is comprised of a relatively small number of consumers. Within any given year, sales can vary greatly due to the large projects that might be underway with any given oil and gas producer. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no one customer comprised more than 10% of sales.

The Company has operations and does business in various countries outside the U.S. It is possible that political instability, foreign currency devaluations or other unanticipated adverse events could materially affect the operations of the Company.At December 31, 2014, approximately 16.8%of the Company’s net accounts receivable was from Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”).  The outstanding accounts receivable are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars, reducing the risk associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.  Payments of approximately $56.3 were received during the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company believes that, based on this historical experience and discussions with PDVSA, the outstanding balance is ultimately collectible.  Consequently, a provision for bad debts has not been recorded for these accounts receivable.

Amended Credit Facility

On September 30, 2013, the Company and its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Guascor, amended and extended its committed credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders, extending the final maturity date for the credit facility to September 30, 2018, and increasing the $700.0 U.S. dollar revolving credit facility by $400.0 to $1,100.0.

On June 27, 2014, we entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to our committed credit agreement (as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Credit Facility”).  The First Amendment amends certain terms and provisions of our committed credit agreement to incorporate recent changes to the ownership structure of certain legal entities completed by the Company in order to facilitate the Company’s cash management activities.

The Amended Credit Facility is comprised of revolving credit facilities, reflecting a $1,100.0 commitment and a €50.0 commitment, and a term loan facility comprised of tranche A and tranche B term loans denominated in U.S. dollars and euros, respectively. The term loans are subject to amortization in quarterly installments equal to $2.0, with respect to the tranche A term loans, and $3.0, with respect to the tranche B term loans. Any principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan facility is due and payable in full at maturity on September 30, 2018. At December 31, 2014, total outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility amounted to $693.7, of which $434.1 was outstanding under the revolving credit facilities and $259.6 was outstanding under the term loan facility. The Company had issued $72.8 in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014. In addition to these letters of credit, $264.4 of letters of credit and bank guarantees was outstanding at December 31, 2014, which were issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit.

The Amended Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s election, at either (a) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus a LIBOR rate or (b) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus a base rate as defined in the facility.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Amended Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee under the revolving credit facility for unutilized commitments, and fees for outstanding performance and financial letters of credit.  These fee amounts depend on the Company’s leverage ratio and range from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum.

The Amended Credit Facility requires that certain net proceeds related to asset sales, to the extent not reinvested in assets used or useful in the Company’s business within one year, be used to pay down the outstanding balance. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Amended Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs. The Amended Credit Facility contains normal and customary covenants, including the provision of periodic financial information, financial covenants (including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio), and certain other limitations governing, among others, such matters as the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens on assets, make investments, acquisitions or mergers, dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, engage in transactions with affiliates, make amendments to documentation for the Company’s 6 ½% Senior Subordinated Notes that would be materially adverse to lenders and pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock. The Amended Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with the Amended Credit Facility debt covenants at December 31, 2014.

In connection with executing the Amended Credit Facility, the Company incurred fees of $5.1, which are being amortized utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the Amended Credit Facility.  Total deferred financing fees of $2.2 and $3.4 were amortized to earnings for fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Included in interest expense were commitment and letter of credit fees of $1.9,  $2.8 and $4.7 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Bank Overdraft Facility

The Company is party to bank overdraft facilities totaling $20.0 that bear interest at a maximum of the bank’s base rate, plus 2.5% per annum.

Senior Subordinated Notes

The Company has issued $375.0 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6 1/₂% per annum. The 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes mature on May 1, 2021. The Company may redeem any of the 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes beginning on May 1, 2016, at a redemption price of 103.250% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption price will decline each year after 2016 and will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, beginning on May 1, 2019. Prior to May 1, 2016, the Company may redeem the 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued interest.

The 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and rank junior to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes contain customary covenants including certain limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock, redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and effect consolidations or mergers. The Company was in compliance with the 6 1/₂% Senior Subordinated Notes debt covenants at December 31, 2014.

The carrying and fair values of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes were as follows:

	December 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value		Value		Value
6½% senior subordinated notes due May 2021	$	375.0	$	401.7	$	375.0	$	400.5

The carrying values of all of the Company’s other long-term debt materially approximate their fair values.
