Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(c) Exhibits:

The following are being furnished as exhibits to this report:

Exhibit

Exhibit Title or Description
Exhibit 99.1
  
Press Release of Cameron International Corporation, dated November 1, 2007 -
Cameron Third Quarter Earnings Per Share $1.31; Includes $0.17 Share Gain on Resolution of Tax Matters.
 
 
Exhibit 99.1 to this report contains “non-GAAP financial measures ” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”). A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) is included as an attachment to the press release. The Company believes the presentation of EBITDA is useful to the Company’s investors because EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating the Company’s operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing the Company’s securities and making strategic acquisitions. In addition, EBITDA is a widely used benchmark in the investment community.
 
The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.


SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
