Our effective tax rate on continuing operations was 23.5% for 2013 and 32.3% for 2012 and 2011. The 2013 effective
tax rate on continuing operations was positively impacted by several items during the year, including federal tax benefits of
approximately $50 million due to the reinstatement of certain tax benefits and credits related to the first quarter enactment of
the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Also contributing to the lower tax rate in 2013 was a $1.0 billion loss contingency
related to the Macondo well incident, which was tax-effected at the United States statutory rate, as well as some favorable tax
items in Latin America in the fourth quarter. Additionally, our effective tax rate was positively impacted by lower tax rates in
certain foreign jurisdictions, as we continue to reposition our technology, supply chain, and manufacturing infrastructure to
more effectively serve our customers internationally.
We have not provided United States income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 because we intend to permanently reinvest such earnings outside the United
States. If these foreign earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the related United States tax liability may be reduced by
any foreign income taxes previously paid on these earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative amount of earnings upon
which United States income taxes have not been provided is approximately $6.1 billion. It is not practicable to estimate the
amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings at this time.
