Item 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 31, 2008, Cameron issued a press release announcing its results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007.  The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this item.


Item 9.01.    Financial Statements and Exhibits

(c)  Exhibits:

The following are being furnished as exhibits to this report:

Exhibit
Number
  
Exhibit Title or Description
     
 
Press Release of Cameron International Corporation, dated January 31, 2008 – Cameron Fourth Quarter Earnings Total $0.54 per share; Revenues Up 25 Percent, Orders and Backlog Reach New Highs
 
 
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.
