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

Total Company revenue in the third quarter was $2,348.4 million. Net income attributable to TechnipFMC was $274.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. These results included after-tax charges and credits totaling $5.9 million of expense, or $0.01 per share (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted net income was $280.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share (Exhibit 6). Adjusted net income included the following items:

• A discrete non-cash, positive net tax benefit of $60.6 million due to the release of a valuation allowance resulting from the Company's assessment of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets and future projections of taxable income; and
• Foreign exchange loss of $8.4 million after-tax, or $3.1 million before-tax.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes pre-tax charges and credits, was $386.1 million; adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4% (Exhibit 8).

When excluding the after-tax impact of foreign exchange of $8.4 million, net income was $283 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding foreign exchange of $3.1 million, was $389.2 million (Exhibit 8).

Shareholder Distribution Update

On October 23, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchases of up to $1 billion. Together with the existing program, the Company is now authorized to repurchase shares of up to $1.2 billion, representing more than 10 percent of the Company's outstanding shares at yesterday's closing price.

Since the initial share repurchase authorization in July 2022, the Company has returned more than $740 million to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends.

Doug Pferdehirt, Chair and CEO of TechnipFMC, stated, "The TechnipFMC team continues to demonstrate solid execution, which is reflected in our strong quarterly results. Revenue was $2.3 billion with adjusted EBITDA of $389 million, when excluding foreign exchange impacts. These results were supported by our relentless focus on industrialization and standardization, as well as integrated business models, all of which are allowing us to execute more efficiently with greater certainty of outcome and repeatability of success."

Pferdehirt continued, "Total company inbound was $2.8 billion, driving backlog to a new record level of $14.7 billion. Subsea inbound orders were $2.5 billion, representing a book-to-bill of 1.2. Inbound continues to be supported by differentiated orders, with our unique iEPCI™ offering, technology leadership, and extensive Subsea Services capabilities all helping to drive our Subsea backlog to $13.7 billion."

"In Surface Technologies, robust execution on key customer projects in the Middle East was a major contributor to the solid quarterly results. The completion of our new, state-of-the-art facility in Saudi Arabia and the qualification of our product portfolio are favorably impacting our company today and represent a differentiated growth opportunity for TechnipFMC."

Pferdehirt added, "Turning to our outlook, we remain very confident in the sustainability of the market backdrop, which is reflected in the continued strength of our Subsea Opportunities List. In 2025, we see an even more diversified mix of opportunities, which includes more Subsea 2.0^® equipment and iEPCI™ projects than we expect to inbound in the current year. When also factoring in the continued growth we expect from Subsea Services, it is clear why we remain so confident in achieving our Subsea inbound guidance of $30 billion of orders over the 3-year period ending 2025."

"Looking beyond 2025, there is a significant presence of projects on our Subsea Opportunities List that are likely to be sanctioned in 2026, which notably includes new frontiers. Additionally, the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) pipeline for subsea developments remains at a record level, many of which are for projects advancing toward final investment decision in the latter half of the decade. The combination of these factors provides TechnipFMC increased visibility and greater confidence in a multi-year project pipeline."

Pferdehirt concluded, "Our confidence in our execution and outlook is reflected in the updated Subsea guidance for 2025, which underscores our expectations for even greater improvement in our financial results. This supports our strong capital allocation policy and the $1 billion increase to our share repurchase authorization announced yesterday. At the same time, we increased our distribution target for 2024, with a goal to nearly double shareholder distributions when compared to the prior year."

"We will continue to drive TechnipFMC forward with conviction, validated by the uniqueness of our business, intimacy of our customer relationships, and strength of our backlog."

Operational and Financial Highlights

Subsea reported third quarter revenue of $2,028.1 million, an increase of 0.9 percent from the second quarter. Higher project activity in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Canada was largely offset by lower activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Norway following the completion of significant project milestones in the second quarter. The increased project activity included higher revenue from flexible pipe in Brazil. Subsea Services activity improved modestly in the period.

Subsea reported an operating profit of $288.8 million, an increase of 4 percent from the second quarter. Operating results increased sequentially due to improved earnings mix from backlog and strong project execution in the quarter. Operating profit margin increased 40 basis points to 14.2 percent.

Subsea reported adjusted EBITDA of $371 million, an increase of 4.1 percent when compared to the second quarter. The factors impacting operating profit also drove the sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 60 basis points to 18.3 percent.

Subsea inbound orders were $2.5 billion for the quarter. Book-to-bill was 1.2x. The following awards were included in the period:

• Petrobras Flexible Pipe and Subsea Production Systems contracts (Brazil)

  *A "substantial" contract is between $250 million and $500 million.

Surface Technologies reported third quarter revenue of $320.3 million, an increase of 1.2 percent from the second quarter. The sequential revenue improvement was primarily driven by increased project and services activity in the Middle East, partially offset by lower wellhead equipment revenue in North America.

Surface Technologies reported operating profit of $33.7 million, an increase of 10.1 percent versus the second quarter. Operating profit increased sequentially due to higher project and services activity in the Middle East and improved execution, partially offset by lower wellhead equipment revenue in North America and a $1.2 million increase in restructuring, impairment and other charges in the period.

Surface Technologies reported adjusted EBITDA of $49.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.7 percent when compared to the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially due to higher project and services activity in the Middle East and improved execution, partially offset by lower wellhead equipment revenue in North America.
