Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously reported, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, Baker Hughes, a GE company (the "Company") adopted the new accounting standard for revenue recognition set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the related amendments ("ASC 606"). In addition to the updates related to the new revenue standard, on January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the FASB ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , which changed the income statement presentation of net periodic benefit cost by requiring separation between the service cost component and all other components. The service cost component is presented as an operating expense with other similar compensation costs arising for services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The non operating components are presented outside of income from operations. The Company has also recast the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Financial Position and Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with FASB ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash which the Company adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to present certain previously reported financial statements and other related financial information on a basis consistent with the 2018 financial statements which include the adoption of these new standards. The financial information that is being recast in this Current Report on Form 8-K was originally filed on February 23, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Form 10-K"). See “Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in Exhibit 99.2 of this Current Report for further discussion.

The revised Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and audited consolidated and combined financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

The Company is also filing with this Current Report as Exhibit 99.3 unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statement of income (loss) of Baker Hughes, a GE company for the year ended December 31, 2017. Exhibit 99.3 hereto updates the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for Baker Hughes, a GE company previously filed by the Company with the SEC on December 4, 2017 as Exhibit 99.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K.
