TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.
All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements include those set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as well as the following:
| |
• | Demand for our systems and services, which is affected by changes in the price of, and demand for, crude oil and natural gas in domestic and international markets; |
| |
• | Potential liabilities arising out of the installation or use of our systems; |
| |
• | U.S. and international laws and regulations, including environmental regulations, that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations; |
| |
• | Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the foreign countries in which we conduct business; |
| |
• | Fluctuations in currency markets worldwide; |
| |
• | Cost overruns that may affect profit realized on our fixed price contracts; |
| |
• | Disruptions in the timely delivery of our backlog and its effect on our future sales, profitability and our relationships with our customers; |
| |
• | The cumulative loss of major contracts or alliances; |
| |
• | Rising costs and availability of raw materials; |
| |
• | Our dependence on the continuing services of key managers and employees and our ability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly-skilled employees for the operation and expansion of our business; |
| |
• | A failure of our information technology infrastructure or any significant breach of security; |
| |
• | Our ability to develop and implement new technologies and services, as well as our ability to protect and maintain critical intellectual property assets; |
| |
• | Deterioration in future expected profitability or cash flows and its effect on our goodwill; |
| |
• | The outcome of uninsured claims and litigation against us; and |
| |
• | Downgrade in the ratings of our debt could restrict our ability to access the debt capital markets. |
We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FMC Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“FMC Technologies”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
On February 25, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock. The stock split was completed in the form of a stock dividend; however, upon issuance of the common stock pursuant to the stock split, an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the additional shares of common stock issued was not reclassified from capital in excess of par value to common stock during the first quarter of 2011. This adjustment was made during the first quarter of 2014. All prior-year amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. This adjustment had no overall effect on total equity and did not impact our overall financial position or results of operations for any period presented.
On April 10, 2012, we executed an intercompany foreign currency transaction in the form of a loan from one subsidiary to another. The loan is considered a long-term investment subject to the foreign currency remeasurement exception under GAAP; however, the interest receivable on the lending subsidiary’s financial statements subject to foreign currency remeasurement was inadvertently recorded with the related intercompany loan and was not remeasured using current foreign currency exchange rates at each quarterly period and recorded in income. Additionally, intercompany interest penalties and related income tax benefits were not recorded by the borrowing subsidiary when such penalties were incurred. As a result, the effect of the correction during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was an $8.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, reduction to net income.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
NOTE 2. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). This update requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the amended guidance, unrecognized tax benefits are netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The updated guidance is applied prospectively, effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of this update concerns presentation and disclosure only as it relates to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of
Disposals of Components of an Entity” issued by the FASB. This update changes the requirements of reporting discontinued operations. Under the amended guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments in this update are effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update concerns presentation and disclosure only as it relates to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. SALE OF MATERIAL HANDLING PRODUCTS
On April 30, 2014, we completed the sale of our equity interests of Technisys, Inc., a Utah corporation, and FMC Technologies Energy Holdings Ltd., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of Hong Kong, and assets primarily representing a product line of our material handling business (“Material Handling Products”) to Syntron Material Handling, LLC, an affiliate of Levine Leichtman Capital Partners Private Capital Solutions II, L.P. Material Handling Products was historically reported in our Energy Infrastructure segment. Net of working capital adjustments, we recognized a pretax gain of $84.3 million on the sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

NOTE 6. DEBT
In September 2004, we entered into agreements for the sale and leaseback of an office building having a net book value of $8.5 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the building was sold for $9.7 million in net proceeds and leased back to us under a 10-year lease. We subleased this property to a third party under a lease agreement that was accounted for as an operating lease. We accounted for the transaction as a financing transaction and amortized the related obligation using an effective annual interest rate of 5.37%. In September 2014, the sale and leaseback expired and resulted in an immaterial noncash gain.

(1) | Committed credit available under our revolving credit facility provided the ability to refinance our commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis. As we have both the ability and intent to refinance these obligations on a long-term basis, our commercial paper borrowings were classified as long-term in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, our commercial paper borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 0.30%. |
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Our income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, reflected effective tax rates of 34.7% and 30.9%, respectively. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to changes in U.S. and foreign tax law effective from 2014 and an unfavorable change in the forecasted country mix of earnings, partially offset by lower charges related to settlements of tax examinations outside the US and the tax impact of the remeasurement of the Multi Phase Meters earn-out consideration in 2013.
Our income tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, reflected effective tax rates of 33.3% and 27.4%, respectively. Excluding a retroactive benefit related to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 recorded in the first quarter of 2013, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 28.9%. The year-over-year increase from this adjusted rate was primarily due to changes in U.S. and foreign tax law effective from 2014 and an unfavorable change in the forecasted country mix of earnings, partially offset by lower charges related to settlements of tax examinations outside the US and the tax impact of the remeasurement of the Multi Phase Meters earn-out consideration in 2013.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to lower tax rates than in the United States. In certain jurisdictions, primarily Singapore and Malaysia, our tax rate is significantly less than the relevant statutory rate due to tax holidays.

NOTE 9. PENSION AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
In October 2009, the Board of Directors amended the U.S. Qualified and Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plans (“U.S. Pension Plans”) to freeze participation in the U.S. Pension Plans for all new nonunion employees hired on or after January 1, 2010, and current nonunion employees with less than five years of vesting service as of December 31, 2009 (“frozen participants”). The Company amended the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, and effective June 1, 2014, the assets and liabilities attributable to participants who are (i) either frozen participants or participants that had terminated service and subsequently became re-employed on or after January 1, 2010, and (ii) active employees of FMC Technologies as of June 1, 2014 were transferred from the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan to the FMC Technologies, Inc. Frozen Retirement Plan (“Frozen Plan”). As of June 1, 2014, the benefits under the Frozen Plan were actuarially equivalent to the benefits each participant would have received under the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan. Under the Frozen Plan, participants have the option to accept cash or an annuity upon the Frozen Plan’s termination.
The components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows:

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Amended and Restated FMC Technologies, Inc. Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the “Plan”), we have primarily granted awards in the form of nonvested stock units (also known as restricted stock units in the plan document). We recognize compensation expense and the corresponding tax benefits for awards under the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense for nonvested stock units was $9.5 million and $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $37.3 million and $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we granted the following restricted stock units to employees:
|
| | | | | | |
(Number of restricted stock shares in thousands) | Shares | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share) |
Time-based | 456 |
| | |
Performance-based | 171 |
| * | |
Market-based | 86 |
| * | |
Total granted | 713 |
| | $ | 50.66 |
|
_______________________
|
| |
* | Assumes grant date expected payout |
For current-year performance-based awards, actual payouts may vary from zero to 342 thousand shares, contingent upon our performance relative to a peer group of companies with respect to earnings growth and return on investment for the year ending December 31, 2014. Compensation cost is measured based on the current expected outcome of the performance conditions and may be adjusted until the performance period ends.
For current-year market-based awards, actual payouts may vary from zero to 172 thousand shares, contingent upon our performance relative to the same peer group of companies with respect to total shareholder return (“TSR”) for a three year period ending December 31, 2016. The payout for the TSR metric is determined based on our performance relative to the peer group, however a payout is possible regardless of whether our TSR for the three year period is positive or negative. If our TSR for the three years is not positive, the payout with respect to TSR is limited to the target previously established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Compensation cost for these awards is calculated using the grant date fair market value, as estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, and is not subject to change based on future events.
NOTE 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
There were no cash dividends declared during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions. The types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We hold the following types of derivative instruments:
Foreign exchange rate forward contracts—The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in future cash flows of anticipated purchase or sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. At September 30, 2014, we held the following material positions:
|
| | | | | |
| Notional Amount Bought (Sold) |
(In millions) | | | USD Equivalent |
Australian dollar | 18.7 |
| | 16.3 |
|

|
Swedish krona | 113.6 |
| | 15.7 |
|
U.S. dollar | (996.9 | ) | | (996.9 | ) |
Foreign exchange rate instruments embedded in purchase and sale contracts—The purpose of these instruments is to match offsetting currency payments and receipts for particular projects, or comply with government restrictions on the currency used to purchase goods in certain countries. At September 30, 2014, our portfolio of these instruments included the following material positions:
|
| | | | | |
| Notional Amount Bought (Sold) |
(In millions) | | | USD Equivalent |
Brazilian real | (88.3 | ) | | (36.0 | ) |
Norwegian krone | 71.6 |
| | 11.1 |
|
U.S. dollar | 21.6 |
| | 21.6 |
|
The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business. We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than three years.
Our policy is to hold derivatives only for the purpose of hedging risks and not for trading purposes where the objective is solely to generate profit. Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values or cash flows of the transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivatives. For derivative instruments that qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative, which does not include the time value component of a forward currency rate, is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
The following table of all outstanding derivative instruments is based on estimated fair value amounts that have been determined using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. Refer to Note 13 for further disclosures related to the fair value measurement process. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts that we would realize in a current market exchange and may not be indicative of the gains or losses we may ultimately incur when these contracts settle or mature. |

We recognized losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million on cash flow hedges for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and losses of $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur or would not occur by the originally specified time period. Cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, net of tax, resulted in an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $22.1 million and gain of $31.9 million at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. We expect to transfer an approximate $0.3 million loss from accumulated OCI to earnings during the next 12 months when the anticipated transactions actually occur.
The following tables present the impact of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships and their location within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Investments—The fair value measurement of our equity securities, fixed income and other investment assets is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets. Our stable value fund and money market fund are valued at the net asset value of the shares held at the end of the quarter, which is based on the fair value of the underlying investments using information reported by the investment advisor at quarter-end.
Derivative financial instruments—We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used. Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available are approximated by using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size and with the same credit rating.
At the present time, we have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position.
See Note 12 for additional disclosure related to derivative financial instruments.
Multi Phase Meters contingent earn-out consideration—We determined the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration using a discounted cash flow model. The key assumptions used in applying the income approach were the expected profitability and debt, net of cash, of the acquired company during the earn-out period and the discount rate which approximates our debt credit rating. The fair value measurement was based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. Changes in the value of the contingent earn-out consideration were recorded as cost of service and other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Changes in the fair value of our Level 3 contingent earn-out consideration obligation were as follows:

|
Fair value of debt—The fair value, based on Level 1 quoted market rates, of our 2.00% Notes due 2017 and 3.45% Notes due 2022 (collectively, “Senior Notes”) was approximately $794.7 million at September 30, 2014 and approximately $767.6 million at December 31, 2013, as compared to the $800.0 million face value of the debt, net of issue discounts, recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other fair value disclosures—The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, commercial paper, debt associated with our term loan, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.
Credit risk—By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments. We mitigate credit risk on derivative contracts by executing contracts only with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement which permits the net settlement of gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities.
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. The majority of these financial instruments represent guarantees of our future performance. Additionally, we were the named guarantor on certain letters of credit and performance bonds issued by our former subsidiary, John Bean Technologies Corporation (“JBT”). Pursuant to the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated July 31, 2008, between FMC Technologies and JBT (the “JBT Separation and Distribution Agreement”), we are fully indemnified by JBT with respect to certain residual obligations.
In August 2014, FMC Technologies entered into an arrangement to guarantee the debt obligations under a revolving credit facility of FMC Technologies Offshore, LLC (“FTO Services”), our joint venture with Edison Chouest Offshore LLC. Under the terms of the guarantee, FMC Technologies and Edison Chouest Offshore LLC jointly and severally guaranteed amounts under the revolving credit facility with a maximum potential amount of future payments of $40.0 million that would become payable if FTO Services defaults in payment under the terms of the revolving credit facility. The approximate term of the guarantee is two years. The liability recognized at inception for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor was not material, and we expect our future performance under the guarantee to be remote.
Management does not expect any of these financial instruments to result in losses that, if incurred, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Contingent liabilities associated with legal matters—We are involved in various pending or potential legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated May 31, 2001, between FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies, FMC Corporation is required to indemnify us for certain claims made prior to our spin-off from FMC Corporation, as well as for other claims related to discontinued operations. Under the JBT Separation and Distribution Agreement, JBT is required to indemnify us for certain claims made prior to the spin-off of our Airport and FoodTech businesses, as well as for certain other claims related to JBT products or business operations. We expect that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for a majority of these claims initiated subsequent to the spin-off, and that JBT will bear most, if not substantially all, of any responsibility for certain other claims initiated subsequent to the spin-off.
Contingent liabilities associated with liquidated damages—Some of our contracts contain penalty provisions that require us to pay liquidated damages if we are responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which our customers may make claims against us for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of our performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management believes we have appropriately accrued for probable liquidated damages at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Outlook
As the worldwide economy continues to grow, management believes the long-term fundamentals of the global oil and gas market remain solid. While expectations of future energy demand remain closely tied to economic activity in major world economies, total world consumption of crude oil and gas is expected to increase in 2014 and 2015. Oil markets have experienced recent disruptions, but management believes demand for oil will outpace supply in the long-term. Absent any unexpected events related to the geopolitical circumstances in key oil-producing regions, we expect current level crude oil prices to continue to support exploration and production activity.
Our strong subsea project backlog as of September 30, 2014, combined with continued demand for subsea systems and services related to production activity, supports our expectations of improved results. Our mix of projects in subsea backlog remains strong, and as a result, we continue to expect margin improvement in 2014 to exceed 2013. Our customers continue to focus on field development costs and lead times and are seeking solutions from subsea suppliers that will improve their productivity and return on investment. We have standardized many technologies of subsea development and believe this standardization will help our customers, specifically our frame agreement customers, achieve high returns on some of the most challenging deepwater projects and accelerate first oil production. Our comprehensive portfolio of subsea products and technology, along with our valued customer alliances, position us to implement an integrated subsea standard which will assist our customers’ subsea developments. Our subsea services business will support the growing installed base of subsea wells, ageing subsea fields, and future offshore developments.
Regarding our surface technologies portfolio, the improved operational results we realized in the first nine months of 2014 were the result of North American surface technologies orders recovering from the slowdown that began in 2012 and that continued into mid 2013. Specifically, our North American fluid control business is now receiving its strongest levels of capital orders since 2012, and we believe this trend will continue in the fourth quarter of 2014 and improve our operational performance for the full year. We continue to integrate our North American surface wellhead and completion services businesses to strengthen our market presence and service offerings which we believe will bring increased value to our customers. Additionally, our international surface wellhead business continues to deliver strong operational results from continued strength in international markets which we expect to continue for the remainder of the year.

_______________________
Revenue increased by $252.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the prior-year quarter. Revenue in the third quarter of 2014 included a $17.3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of the strong backlog entering 2014 and volume growth in our subsea services, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, led to increased Subsea Technologies revenue year-over-year. Surface Technologies posted higher revenue during the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased sales of conventional wellhead systems in our international surface wellhead businesses and increased demand for our well service pumps and flowline products in our fluid control business.
Gross profit (revenue less cost of sales) increased as a percentage of sales to 25.1% in the third quarter of 2014, from 21.5% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to our Western Region subsea business from higher margin project backlog conversion and higher volumes in subsea services, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, and operational improvements and execution in our Eastern Region subsea business. Additionally, Surface Technologies posted higher gross profit due to increased sales of conventional wellhead systems in our international surface wellhead business and increased demand for our well service pumps and flowline products in our fluid control business.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $4.9 million year-over-year, resulting from higher commission expenses, expenses related to organizational changes and bonus expenses.
Other income (expense), net during the third quarter of 2014 included an unrealized foreign currency loss of $20.9 million related to a remeasurement of an intercompany transaction.
Our income tax provisions for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 reflected effective tax rates of 34.7% and 30.9%, respectively. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to changes in U.S. and foreign tax law effective from 2014 and an unfavorable change in the forecasted country mix of earnings, partially offset by lower charges related to the settlements of tax examinations outside the US and the tax impact of the remeasurement of the Multi Phase Meters earn-out consideration in 2013. Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings since our foreign earnings are generally subject to lower tax rates than in the United States. In certain jurisdictions, primarily Singapore and Malaysia, our tax rate is significantly less than the relevant statutory rate due to tax holidays. The cumulative balance of foreign earnings for which no provision for U.S. income taxes has been recorded was $1,629 million at September 30, 2014. We would need to accrue and pay U.S. tax on such undistributed earnings if these funds were repatriated. We have no current intention to repatriate these earnings.

_______________________
Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, interest income and expense associated with corporate investments and debt, income taxes and other revenue and other expense, net.
Subsea Technologies
Subsea Technologies revenue increased $180.5 million year-over-year. Revenue for the third quarter of 2014 included a $9.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, total revenue increased by $189.7 million year-over-year. Subsea Technologies revenue is primarily impacted by the amount of beginning backlog entering the period and the rates of backlog conversion. Our subsea revenue increase year-over-year was led by our Western Region business from project backlog conversion as well as increased volumes in subsea services, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico.
Subsea Technologies operating profit in the third quarter of 2014 totaled $204.4 million, or 15.7% of revenue, compared to the prior-year quarter’s operating profit as a percentage of revenue of 10.8%. The margin improvement was primarily driven by our Western Region subsea business from higher margin project backlog conversion and higher volumes in subsea services particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and from operational improvements and execution in our Eastern Region subsea business. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2014 included a $1.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Surface Technologies
Surface Technologies revenue increased $100.1 million year-over-year. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by our international surface wellhead business due to conventional wellhead system sales and our fluid control business from increased demand for our well service pumps and flowline products in the third quarter of 2014.
Surface Technologies operating profit in the third quarter of 2014 totaled $109.5 million, or 19.7% of revenue, compared to the prior-year quarter’s operating profit as a percentage of revenue of 16.3%. The margin improvement was primarily driven by the following:
| |
• | Surface Wellhead - 1.6 percentage point increase due to strong sales growth in international markets; |
| |
• | Fluid Control - 0.9 percentage point increase due to increased volumes in our well service pumps and flowline products resulting from improvements in the North American shale markets; and |
| |
• | Completion Services - 0.8 percentage point increase due to increased wireline and flowback volumes from improvements in the North American shale markets. |
Energy Infrastructure
Energy Infrastructure revenue decreased $27.5 million year-over-year. The decrease was driven by the sale of our Material Handling Products business early in the second quarter of 2014 and the correction of operating results from prior quarters in the year in our automation and control business.
Energy Infrastructure operating profit in the third quarter of 2014 totaled $5.1 million, or 4.1% of revenue, compared to the prior-year quarter’s operating profit as a percentage of revenue of 11.8%. The margin decline was primarily driven by the following:

| |
• | Material Handling - 1.1 percentage point decrease as a result of the sale of our Material Handling Products business early in the second quarter of 2014; and |
