1. We note that footnote 10 discloses segment income (loss) from operations
and reconciles
these segment amounts to total income (loss) from operations, in
accordance with ASC

and gross margin
% for Total Energy and the segments Subsea Robotics, Manufactured
Products, Offshore

non-GAAP financial
measures in accordance with Item 10(e)(2) of Regulation S-K. Please also
refer to
Questions 104.03 and 104.04 of the Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations on Non-

Please also expand the
disclosures to provide a clear definition of each of the disclosed
measures and how they
are calculated to provide adequate context for an investor to understand

Exhibit 99.1
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Information, page 68
4. We refer you to the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow on page 10. Please
clarify why you
view Free Cash Flow as a measure of operating performance rather than a
measure of
liquidity. Include your consideration of Question 102.07 of the
Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures. If this is a
liquidity
measure, revise to reconcile to cash flow from operating activities and,
to the extent it
includes cash-based adjustments other than capital expenditures, change
the title to
adjusted free cash flows.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Brian McAllister at 202-551-3341 or Craig Arakawa at

any questions.
