TechnipFMC Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

• Subsea inbound orders of $2.8 billion; book-to-bill of 1.4x
• Total Company backlog reached new record of $13.9 billion
• Cash flow from operations of $231 million; free cash flow of $180 million
• Full-year financial guidance increased to reflect strong operational performance

TechnipFMC plc (NYSE:FTI) (the "Company" or "TechnipFMC") today reported second quarter 2024 results.

Total Company revenue in the second quarter was $2,325.6 million. Net income attributable to TechnipFMC was $186.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. These results included after-tax charges and credits totaling $2.4 million of expense, or $0.01 per share (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted net income was $188.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes pre-tax charges and credits, was $361.4 million; adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.5 percent (Exhibit 8).

Included in total Company results was a foreign exchange loss of $17.7 million, or $17.8 million after-tax. When excluding the after-tax impact of foreign exchange, net income was $204.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding foreign exchange, was $379.1 million (Exhibit 7).

Doug Pferdehirt, Chair and CEO of TechnipFMC, stated, "Our quarterly results reflect strong operational performance throughout the Company. Revenue was $2.3 billion with adjusted EBITDA of $379 million when excluding foreign exchange impacts."

"Results were particularly strong in Subsea, where operating profit margin improved 480 basis points sequentially to 13.8 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 370 basis points sequentially to 17.7 percent – a level of performance we expect to continue in the third quarter. Given the strength of our execution, we now expect Subsea adjusted EBITDA margin to exceed the high-end of our guidance for the full year."

Pferdehirt continued, "Subsea inbound orders were $2.8 billion, representing a book-to-bill of 1.4. Partner collaboration and longstanding relationships were key drivers of our success in the quarter. Inbound included iEPCI™ projects for Woodside's Xena Phase 3 and Energean's Katlan development, both repeat clients of our integrated model. We were also awarded over 100 kilometers of flexible pipe from Petrobras, which is incremental to the volume associated with our existing frame agreements."

"Further expansion in Guyana also contributed significantly to inbound with the award of the Whiptail project. This is the sixth project sanctioned by ExxonMobil in the Stabroek Block in just seven years. We are honored to have been awarded the subsea production systems for all of these projects."

Pferdehirt added, "Through our success in Guyana, we have established a strong reputation for meeting the accelerated schedule requirements of an emerging basin. Importantly, it is our strategic commitment to the region and its people, collaboration with our global and local partners, and innovative mindset that have created a winning playbook for the development of our business in Guyana. This formula will also be utilized in new frontiers, including Suriname and Namibia."

"At quarter end, total Company backlog was $13.9 billion, a record level for TechnipFMC, with orders exceeding revenue in 10 of the last 11 quarters. We are well positioned for Subsea orders to approach $10 billion for the year, also giving us continued confidence in achieving $30 billion in orders over the three-year period ending 2025. We expect this activity will drive further growth in backlog."

"In Surface Technologies, we also demonstrated solid performance. We are seeing tangible benefits from the targeted actions taken to optimize our business in the Americas. In the Middle East, the growth we anticipated is now occurring, allowing us to further utilize our new in-country capacity."

Pferdehirt concluded, "The strong financial performance in the period clearly demonstrates the solid momentum we are experiencing in our execution. Our success reflects the bold steps we took to create a new business model that reshaped the subsea industry and to deliver innovative technologies that further improve project economics. These actions continue to provide sustainable differentiation for TechnipFMC, driving results higher than what could be achieved through a market recovery alone."

"We are confident that our strong execution and competitive differentiation, when combined with the proven success of our subsea playbook, will allow us to capitalize on the expanding opportunities that extend beyond the decade."

Operational and Financial Highlights

Subsea reported second quarter revenue of $2,009.1 million, an increase of 15.8 percent from the first quarter. The sequential revenue improvement was largely driven by increased iEPCI™ project activity in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Services revenue also increased primarily due to seasonal improvement.

Subsea reported an operating profit of $277.7 million, an increase of 77.3 percent from the first quarter. Operating results increased sequentially due to strong execution, improved earnings mix from backlog, and higher project and services activity. Operating profit margin increased 480 basis points to 13.8 percent.

Subsea reported adjusted EBITDA of $356.5 million, an increase of 47.1 percent when compared to the first quarter. The factors impacting operating profit also drove the sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 370 basis points to 17.7 percent.

Surface Technologies reported second quarter revenue of $316.5 million, an increase of 3 percent from the first quarter. The sequential revenue improvement was primarily driven by increased activity in the Middle East, largely offset by the absence of revenue from the Measurement Solutions business disposed of in March of 2024.

Surface Technologies reported operating profit of $30.6 million, a decrease of 70.4 percent versus the first quarter. Operating profit in the prior quarter benefited from a $75.2 million gain on the disposal of the Measurement Solutions business. Excluding the gain on the disposal, operating profit increased $2.4 million sequentially. The increase was primarily due to higher volume in the Middle East, largely offset by the absence of operating profit from Measurement Solutions.

Surface Technologies reported adjusted EBITDA of $46 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.1 percent when compared to the first quarter. The improvement was driven by higher volume in the Middle East, largely offset by the absence of Measurement Solutions. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 100 basis points sequentially to 14.5 percent.

Inbound orders for the quarter were $254.2 million, a sequential decrease of 31.4 percent. Backlog ended the period at $972.9 million.

On June 27, 2024, Fitch Ratings assigned a first-time Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of ‘BBB-' with a Stable Outlook to the Company and its subsidiary, FMC Technologies Inc. Fitch Ratings also assigned ‘BBB-' ratings to the Company's revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes. This follows a rating upgrade in early March by S&P Global Ratings, which elevated both the issuer credit and the issue-level ratings on the Company's senior unsecured notes to investment grade (‘BBB-').

With investment grade ratings from two credit rating agencies, the Company will benefit from lower interest rates and fees and eliminate all collateral requirements for its $1.25 billion Revolving Credit Facility and $500 million Letter of Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company will gain access to the lower-cost investment grade bond market for future term debt needs.

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the second quarter 2024 Earnings Release also includes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and describes performance on a year-over-year or sequential basis. Net income attributable to TechnipFMC plc, excluding charges and credits, as well as measures derived from it (including Diluted EPS, excluding charges and credits; Earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding charges and credits ("Adjusted EBITDA"); and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding foreign exchange gains or losses, net; Adjusted EBITDA margin; Adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding foreign exchange, net); Corporate expense, excluding charges and credits; Foreign exchange, net and other, excluding charges and credits; and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a gross basis and the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is separately presented in the applicable reconciliation table. Estimates of the tax effect of each adjustment is calculated item by item, by reviewing the relevant jurisdictional tax rate to the pretax non-GAAP amounts, analyzing the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded, the need of application of a specific tax rate, history of non-GAAP taxable income positions (i.e. net operating loss carryforwards) and concluding on the valuation allowance positions.

Management believes that the exclusion of charges, credits and foreign exchange impacts from these financial measures provides a useful perspective on the Company's underlying business results and operating trends, and a means to evaluate TechnipFMC's operations and consolidated results of operations period-over-period. These measures are also used by management as performance measures in determining certain incentive compensation. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered by investors in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of the most comparable financial measures under GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures.
