NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("the Company", "BHH LLC", "we", "us", or "our") and the successor to Baker Hughes Incorporated ("BHI"), is an energy technology company with a diversified portfolio of technologies and services that span the energy and industrial value chain. As of March 31, 2022, General Electric ("GE") owns 4 % of our common units and Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes") owns directly or indirectly 96 % of our common units (collectively, "the Members"). BHH LLC is a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Registrant with separate filing requirements with the SEC and its separate financial information can be obtained from www.sec.gov.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S." and such principles, "U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Annual Report").
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods presented and are not indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BHH LLC and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates which it controls or variable interest entities for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In the Company's financial statements and notes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, all dollar and common unit amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and units, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. Certain columns and rows in our financial statements and notes thereto may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Please refer to "Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to our consolidated financial statements from our 2021 Annual Report for the discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $619 million and $601 million, respectively, of cash held in bank accounts that cannot be readily released, transferred or otherwise converted into a currency that is regularly transacted internationally, due to lack of market liquidity, capital controls or similar monetary or exchange limitations limiting the flow of capital out of the jurisdiction. These funds are available to fund operations and growth in these jurisdictions, and we do not currently anticipate a need to transfer these funds to the U.S.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED
New accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

As of March 31, 2022, we expect to recognize revenue of approximately 53 %, 68 % and 87 % of the total remaining performance obligations within 2 , 5 , and 15 years, respectively, and the remaining thereafter. Contract modifications could affect both the timing to complete as well as the amount to be received as we fulfill the related remaining performance obligations.
NOTE 3. CURRENT RECEIVABLES

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test for each of our reporting units as of July 1 of each fiscal year, in conjunction with our annual strategic planning process. Our reporting units are the same as our four
During the first quarter of 2022, we completed a review to assess whether indicators of impairment existed. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that no indicators existed that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying value. There can be no assurances that future sustained declines in macroeconomic or business conditions affecting our industry will not occur, which could result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are comprised of the following:

For a majority of our borrowings the fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices. Where market prices are not available, we estimate fair values based on valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data adjusted for our non-performance risk.

Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. is a co-obligor, jointly and severally with BHH LLC on our long-term debt securities. This co-obligor is a 100 %-owned finance subsidiary of BHH LLC that was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as a corporate co-obligor of long-term debt securities and has no assets or operations other than those related to its sole purpose. As of March 31, 2022, Baker Hughes Co-Obligor, Inc. is a co-obligor of our long-term debt securities totaling $6,594 million.
Certain Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict BHH LLC's ability to take certain actions, including, but not limited to, the creation of certain liens securing debt, the entry into certain sale-leaseback transactions, and engaging in certain merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions in excess of specified limits. At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $95 million. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate is primarily related to losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances and earnings in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the U.S., partially offset by tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. In addition, since we are a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, any tax benefits associated with U.S. losses are recognized by our Members and not reflected in our tax expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the provision for income taxes was $83 million. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate is primarily related to losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances.
NOTE 11. MEMBERS' EQUITY
COMMON UNITS
The BHH LLC Agreement provides that initially there is one class of common units ("Units"), which are currently held by the Members. If Baker Hughes issues a share of Class A common stock, including in connection with an equity incentive or similar plan, we will also issue a corresponding Unit to Baker Hughes or one of its direct subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we issued 7,730 thousand and 5,522 thousand Units, respectively, to Baker Hughes or one of its direct subsidiaries in connection with the issuance of its Class A common stock. The Members are entitled through their Units to receive distributions on an equal amount of any dividend paid by Baker Hughes to its Class A shareholders.
In 2021, Baker Hughes' Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $2 billion of our Units. We expect to fund the repurchase program from cash generated from operations, and we expect to make Unit repurchases from time to time subject to the Company's capital plan, market conditions, and other factors, including regulatory restrictions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased and canceled 8.1 million Units for a total of $236 million, representing an average price per Unit of $28.96 . This includes 0.4 million Units totaling $11 million that were repurchased in December 2021 but not settled and cancelled until January 2022. At March 31, 2022, we had authorization remaining to repurchase up to approximately $1.3 billion of our Units.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, current receivables, certain investments, accounts payable, short and long-term debt, and derivative financial instruments. Except for long-term debt, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 approximates their carrying value as reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. For further information on the fair value of our debt, see "Note 9. Borrowings."
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
We use derivatives to manage our risks and do not use derivatives for speculation. The table below summarizes the fair value of all derivatives, including hedging instruments and embedded derivatives.

Derivatives are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position depending on their respective maturity date. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $36 million and $28 million of derivative assets are recorded in "All other current assets" and $1 million and $1 million are recorded in "All other assets" of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $29 million and $39 million of derivative liabilities are recorded in "All other current liabilities" and $38 million and $10 million are recorded in "All other liabilities" of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, respectively.
FORMS OF HEDGING
Cash Flow Hedges
We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, the vast majority of our derivative activity in this category consists of
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC 2022 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 14
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
currency exchange contracts. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in a separate component of equity (referred to as "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", or "AOCI") and are recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs. See "Note 11. Equity" for further information on activity in AOCI for cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was one year
Fair Value Hedges
All of our long-term debt is comprised of fixed rate instruments. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt portfolio and may use interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of fixed rate obligations associated with certain debt. Under these arrangements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500 1,350 3.337
Economic Hedges
These derivatives are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint (and therefore we do not apply hedge accounting to the relationship) but otherwise serve the same economic purpose as other hedging arrangements. Economic hedges are marked to fair value through earnings each period.
The following table summarizes the gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedges in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss):
| Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments | Condensed consolidated statement of income caption | Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||

| Currency exchange contracts | Cost of services sold | ||||||||||
| Commodity derivatives | Cost of goods sold | ||||||||||
Total (2) | $ | $ | |||||||||
(1)Excludes gains of $1 million and $3 million on embedded derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as embedded derivatives are not considered to be hedging instruments in our economic hedges.
(2)The effect on earnings of derivatives not designated as hedges is substantially offset by the change in fair value of the economically hedged items in the current and future periods.
NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES
The notional amount of a derivative is the number of units of the underlying. A substantial majority of the outstanding notional amount of $3.8 billion and $3.9 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is related to hedges of anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currency, commodity purchases, changes in interest rates, and contractual terms in contracts that are considered embedded derivatives and for intercompany borrowings in foreign currencies. We generally disclose derivative notional amounts on a gross basis to indicate the total counterparty risk. Where we have gross purchase and sale derivative contracts for a particular currency, we look to execute these contracts with the same counterparty to reduce our exposure. The notional amount of these
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC 2022 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 15
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
derivative instruments do not generally represent cash amounts exchanged by us and the counterparties, but rather the nominal amount upon which changes in the value of the derivatives are measured.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
Fair values of our derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our agreements) on an individual counterparty basis.

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH GE
Our most significant related party transactions are transactions that we have entered into with our Members and their affiliates. We have continuing involvement with GE primarily through their remaining interest in us, ongoing purchases and sales of products and services, and transition services that they provide. At March 31, 2022, GE's economic interest in us through their ownership of Class B common stock and associated LLC Units was 4 %. At March 31, 2022, GE owned Class A common stock in addition to their Class B common stock, which represents their overall Baker Hughes ownership of 11.4 %.
We had purchases with GE and its affiliates of $144 million and $155 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we sold products and services to GE and its affiliates for $37 million and $49 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We have $180 million and $192 million of accounts payable and $463 million and $480 million of current receivables at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, for goods and services provided by, or to, GE in the ordinary course of business and includes amounts owed to, or from, GE for certain tax matters indemnified pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement. Additionally, the Company has $139 million and $67 million of current receivables at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, from Baker Hughes.
OTHER RELATED PARTIES
We have an aeroderivative joint venture ("Aero JV") we formed with GE in 2019. The Aero JV is jointly controlled by GE and us, each with ownership interest of 50 108 million and $160 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have $59 million and $86 million of accounts payable at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, for goods and services provided by the Aero JV in the ordinary course of business. Sales of products and services and related receivables with the Aero JV were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Because legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters. We record a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on the opinion of management, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.
In January 2013, INEOS and Naphtachimie initiated expertise proceedings in Aix-en-Provence, France arising out of a fire at a chemical plant owned by INEOS in Lavera, France, which resulted in a 15 -day plant shutdown and destruction of a steam turbine, which was part of a compressor train owned by Naphtachimie. The most recent quantification of the alleged damages is €250 million. Two of the Company's subsidiaries (and 17 other companies) were notified to participate in the proceedings. The proceedings are ongoing, and at this time, there is no indication that the Company's subsidiaries were involved in the incident. Although the outcome of the claims remains uncertain, our insurer has accepted coverage and is defending the Company in the expertise proceeding.
On July 31, 2018, International Engineering & Construction S.A. ("IEC") initiated arbitration proceedings in New York administered by the International Center for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") against the Company and its subsidiaries arising out of a series of sales and service contracts entered between IEC and the Company’s subsidiaries for the sale and installation of LNG plants and related power generation equipment in Nigeria ("Contracts"). Prior to the filing of the IEC Arbitration, the Company’s subsidiaries made demands for payment due under the Contracts. On August 15, 2018, the Company’s subsidiaries initiated a separate demand for ICDR
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC 2022 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 18

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
arbitration against IEC for claims of additional costs and amounts due under the Contracts. On October 10, 2018, IEC filed a Petition to Compel Arbitration in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company seeking to compel non-signatory Baker Hughes entities to participate in the arbitration filed by IEC. The complaint is captioned International Engineering & Construction S.A. et al. v. Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC, et al. No. 18-cv-09241 ("S.D.N.Y 2018"); this action was dismissed by the Court on August 13, 2019. In the arbitration, IEC alleges breach of contract and other claims against the Company and its subsidiaries and seeks recovery of alleged compensatory damages, in addition to reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and arbitration costs. On March 15, 2019, IEC amended its request for arbitration to alleged damages of $591 million of lost profits plus unspecified additional costs based on alleged non-performance of the contracts in dispute. The arbitration hearing was held from December 9, 2019 to December 20, 2019. On March 3, 2020, IEC amended their damages claim to $700 million of alleged loss cash flow or, in the alternative, $244.9 million of lost profits and various costs based on alleged non-performance of the contracts in dispute, and in addition $4.8 million of liquidated damages, $58.6 million in take-or-pay costs of feed gas, and unspecified additional costs of rectification and take-or-pay future obligations, plus unspecified interest and attorneys' fees. On May 3, 2020, the arbitration panel dismissed IEC's request for take-or-pay damages. On May 29, 2020, IEC quantified their claim for legal fees at $14.2 million and reduced their alternative claim from $244.9 million to approximately $235 million. The Company and its subsidiaries have contested IEC’s claims and are pursuing claims for compensation under the contracts. On October 31, 2020, the ICDR notified the arbitration panel’s final award, which dismissed the majority of IEC’s claims and awarded a portion of the Company’s claims. On January 27, 2021, IEC filed a petition to vacate the arbitral award in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. On March 5, 2021, the Company filed a petition to confirm the arbitral award, and on March 8, 2021, the Company removed the matter to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On November 16, 2021, the court granted the Company's petition to confirm the award and denied IEC's petition to vacate. On February 3, 2022, IEC initiated another arbitration proceeding in New York administered by the ICDR against certain of the Company’s subsidiaries arising out of the same project which formed the basis of the first arbitration. On March 25, 2022, the Company's subsidiaries initiated a separate demand for ICDR arbitration against IEC for claims of additional costs and amounts due. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this proceeding.
On March 15, 2019 and March 18, 2019, the City of Riviera Beach Pension Fund and Richard Schippnick, respectively, filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery shareholder derivative lawsuits for and on Baker Hughes' behalf against GE, the then-current members of the Board of Directors of Baker Hughes and Baker Hughes as a nominal defendant, related to the decision to (i) terminate the contractual prohibition barring GE from selling any of Baker Hughes' shares before July 3, 2019; (ii) repurchase $1.5 billion in Baker Hughes' stock from GE; (iii) permit GE to sell approximately $2.5 billion in Baker Hughes' stock through a secondary offering; and (iv) enter into a series of other agreements and amendments that will govern the ongoing relationship between Baker Hughes and GE (collectively, the “2018 Transactions”). The complaints in both lawsuits allege, among other things, that GE, as Baker Hughes' controlling stockholder, and the members of Baker Hughes' Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by entering into the 2018 Transactions. The relief sought in the complaints includes a request for a declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties, that GE was unjustly enriched, disgorgement of profits, an award of damages sustained by Baker Hughes, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On March 21, 2019, the Chancery Court entered an order consolidating the Schippnick and City of Riviera Beach complaints under consolidated C.A. No. 2019-0201-AGB, styled in re Baker Hughes, a GE company derivative litigation. On May 10, 2019, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against the members of Baker Hughes' Conflicts Committee, and on May 15, 2019, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against former Baker Hughes director Martin Craighead. On June 7, 2019, the defendants and nominal defendant filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the ground that the derivative plaintiffs failed to make a demand on Baker Hughes' Board of Directors to pursue the claims itself, and GE and Baker Hughes' Board of Directors filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim on which relief can be granted. The Chancery Court denied the motions on October 8, 2019, except granted GE’s motion to dismiss the unjust enrichment claim against it. On October 31, 2019, Baker Hughes' Board of Directors designated a Special Litigation Committee and empowered it with full authority to investigate and evaluate the allegations and issues raised in the derivative litigation. The Special Litigation Committee filed a motion to stay the derivative litigation during its investigation. On December 3, 2019, the Chancery Court granted the motion and stayed the derivative litigation until June 1, 2020. On May 20, 2020, the Chancery Court granted an extension of the stay to October 1, 2020, and on September 29, 2020, the Court granted a further extension of the stay to October 15, 2020. On October 13, 2020, the Special
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC 2022 First Quarter Form 10-Q | 19

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Litigation Committee filed its report with the Court. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims.
On August 13, 2019, Tri-State Joint Fund filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, a shareholder class action lawsuit for and on the behalf of itself and all similarly situated public stockholders of Baker Hughes Incorporated ("BHI") against the General Electric Company ("GE"), the former members of the Board of Directors of BHI, and certain former BHI Officers alleging breaches of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting, and other claims in connection with the combination of BHI and the oil and gas business ("GE O&G") of GE ("the Transactions"). On October 28, 2019, City of Providence filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery a shareholder class action lawsuit for and on behalf of itself and all similarly situated public shareholders of BHI against GE, the former members of the Board of Directors of BHI, and certain former BHI Officers alleging substantially the same claims in connection with the Transactions. The relief sought in these complaints include a request for a declaration that Defendants breached their fiduciary duties, an award of damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The lawsuits have been consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint on December 17, 2019 against certain former BHI officers alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and against GE for aiding and abetting those breaches. The December 2019 complaint omitted the former members of the Board of Directors of BHI, except for Mr. Craighead who also served as President and CEO of BHI. Mr. Craighead and Ms. Ross, who served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of BHI, remain named in the December 2019 complaint along with GE. The relief sought in the consolidated complaint includes a declaration that the former BHI officers breached their fiduciary duties and that GE aided and abetted those breaches, an award of damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On or around February 12, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that the complaint failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted. On or around October 27, 2020, the Chancery Court granted GE’s motion to dismiss, and granted in part the motion to dismiss filed by Mr. Craighead and Ms. Ross, thereby dismissing all of the claims against GE and Ms. Ross, and all but one of the claims against Mr. Craighead. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of the remaining claim.
On December 11, 2019, BMC Software, Inc. (“BMC”) filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of Texas against Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC alleging trademark infringement, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment, arising out of the Company’s use of its new logo and affiliated branding. On January 1, 2020, BMC amended its complaint to add Baker Hughes Company. The relief sought in the complaint includes a request for injunctive relief, an award of damages (including punitive damages), pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims.
In December 2020, Baker Hughes received notice that the SEC is conducting a formal investigation that Baker Hughes understands is related to its books and records and internal controls regarding sales of its products and services in projects impacted by U.S. sanctions. Baker Hughes is cooperating with the SEC and providing requested information. Baker Hughes has also initiated an internal review with the assistance of external legal counsel regarding internal controls and compliance related to U.S. sanctions requirements. While Baker Hughes' review remains ongoing, in September 2021, Baker Hughes voluntarily informed the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") that non-U.S. Baker Hughes affiliates in two foreign countries appear to have received payments, involving U.S. touchpoints, that are subject to debt restrictions pursuant to applicable U.S. sanctions laws. In February 2022, OFAC informed Baker Hughes that it has issued a cautionary letter and that it will not pursue a civil monetary penalty or further enforcement action. The cautionary letter reflects OFAC’s final enforcement response to Baker Hughes' voluntary self-disclosure. Baker Hughes provided copies of its correspondence with OFAC to the SEC. As the SEC investigation is ongoing, Baker Hughes cannot anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of the SEC investigation or review, financial or otherwise.
We insure against risks arising from our business to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending or future legal proceedings or other claims. Most of our insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is our policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation.

In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, letters of credit and other bank issued guarantees. We also provide guarantees to GE Capital on behalf of a customer who has entered into financing arrangements with GE Capital. Total off-balance sheet arrangements were approximately $4.5 billion at March 31, 2022. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. As of March 31, 2022, none of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We sometimes enter into consortium or similar arrangements for certain projects primarily in our Oilfield Equipment segment. Under such arrangements, each party is responsible for performing a certain scope of work within the total scope of the contracted work, and the obligations expire when all contractual obligations are completed.
