market comparable in<strong>for</strong>mation. The only changes in our reporting units' goodwill duringthe periods presented are from business acquisitions, as discussed above, and currencyexchange rate changes. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding goodwill by business segment,see Note 7.Intangible assets, primarily acquired in connection with business combinations, includetrade names, intellectual property and customer relationships and are being amortizedwith a weighted average remaining life of approximately 12 years.Revenue Recognition. We recognize our revenue according to the type of contractinvolved. On a daily basis, we recognize revenue under contracts that provide <strong>for</strong>specific time, material and equipment charges, which we bill periodically, ranging fromweekly to monthly.We account <strong>for</strong> significant fixed-price contracts, which we enter into mainly in our SubseaProducts segment, and to a lesser extent in our Subsea Projects and AdvancedTechnologies segments, using the percentage-of-completion method. In 2011, weaccounted <strong>for</strong> 16% of our revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. Indetermining whether a contract should be accounted <strong>for</strong> using the percentage-ofcompletionmethod, we consider whether:• the customer provides specifications <strong>for</strong> the construction of facilities or productionof goods or <strong>for</strong> the provision of related services;• we can reasonably estimate our progress towards completion and our costs;• the contract includes provisions as to the en<strong>for</strong>ceable rights regarding the goodsor services to be provided, consideration to be received and the manner andterms of payment;• the customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract; and• we can be expected to per<strong>for</strong>m our contractual obligations.Under the percentage-of-completion method, we recognize estimated contract revenuebased on costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs. Changes in theexpected cost of materials and labor, productivity, scheduling and other factors affect thetotal estimated costs. Additionally, external factors, including weather or other factorsoutside of our control, also affect the progress and estimated cost of a project’scompletion and, there<strong>for</strong>e, the timing of income and revenue recognition. We routinelyreview estimates related to our contracts and reflect revisions to profitability in earningsimmediately. If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates an ultimate loss on acontract, we recognize the projected loss in full when we determine it. Although we arecontinually striving to accurately estimate our contract costs and profitability, adjustmentsto overall contract costs could be significant in future periods.We recognize the remainder of our revenue when persuasive evidence of anarrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, price is fixedor determinable and collection is reasonably assured.Revenue in Excess of Amounts Billed is classified as accounts receivable and relates torecoverable costs and accrued profits on contracts in progress. Billings in Excess ofRevenue Recognized on uncompleted contracts are classified in accrued liabilities.2011 Annual Report 35
