LONDON & PARIS & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2018-- Regulatory News:

TechnipFMC plc (NYSE:FTI) (Paris:FTI) today reported third quarter 2018 results.

Total Company revenue was $3,143.8 million. Net income was $136.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. These results included after-tax charges and credits of $2.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.31.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes charges and credits, was $430.5 million; adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.7 percent. After-tax charges and credits are detailed in the financial schedules.

Other significant pre-tax items impacting the quarter, for which we do not provide guidance, included the following:

• $34.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, of foreign exchange losses included in corporate expense; and
• $93.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, of increased liability payable to joint venture partners included in interest expense.

Summary Financial Statements

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are detailed below and in the financial schedules.

Doug Pferdehirt, CEO of TechnipFMC, stated, “Our third quarter results illustrate the benefit of structural cost savings and strong project delivery. This was most notable within Onshore/Offshore, where execution on key projects such as Yamal LNG has remained robust, leading to further improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin. Subsea continued to display strong operational performance. Surface Technologies results increased modestly versus the prior year despite softening completions activity in North America.”

“Total Company orders once again exceeded revenues, supporting a return to year-over-year growth in backlog. Total Company backlog of $15.2 billion increased 9 percent when compared to the prior-year quarter, with growth occurring in all business segments.”

Pferdehirt continued, “During the quarter, we successfully delivered Train 2 of the Yamal LNG project, approximately six months ahead of schedule. LNG volume shipped to date now exceeds 5 million metric tons, a result achieved due to the project’s accelerated delivery. Construction and commissioning of Train 3 is progressing well and is on track for another early delivery.”

“We also successfully delivered two additional iEPCI™ projects in the third quarter – Trestakk and Visund Nord – both with Equinor on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. On Trestakk, our first awarded iEPCI™ project, we successfully delivered a fully commissioned subsea system utilizing only a single season of marine operations. Visund Nord was delivered in just 21 months from concept selection to first production; this was a new fast-track record for Equinor. An important factor in the success of these projects was the strong collaboration with our partner, Equinor, and the integrated capabilities of TechnipFMC.”

Pferdehirt concluded, “The outlook for our three growth pillars – subsea, unconventionals, and LNG – remains favorable.”

“In Subsea, the recovery that began nearly two years ago continues. Our Subsea book-to-bill has exceeded 1.0 in five of the last six quarters. Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) for large projects continue to increase, supported by considerable improvement in project economics and operator cash flows. The continued increase in FEED activity further supports our favorable outlook. With the industry’s most comprehensive offering and the ability to leverage next generation technologies such as Subsea 2.0™, TechnipFMC is capitalizing on the market evolution towards integrated subsea developments.”

“For U.S. unconventionals, the near-term uncertainty in completion activity will likely prove transitory. We believe that growth in hydrocarbon demand will continue, and the market will ultimately resolve takeaway capacity constraints. In the meantime, growth in drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) continues; the required completions will soon follow.”

“LNG remains one of the fastest growing markets in the oil and gas sector. Demand growth suggests a new wave of LNG projects will need to be sanctioned in 2019 and beyond. Our 50+ years of experience has resulted in the delivery of over 20 percent of the world’s operating capacity. We are well-positioned for this growth opportunity.”

Operational and Financial Highlights – Third Quarter 2018

Subsea

Financial Highlights

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are detailed below and in the financial schedules.

Subsea reported third quarter revenue of $1,209.1 million. Revenue was down 18.2 percent from the prior year as projects in Africa, Europe, and Asia Pacific progressed towards completion, partially offset by increased activity in South America. Subsea revenue continues to be negatively impacted by prior-period declines in inbound orders related to the market downturn.

Subsea reported operating profit of $79.7 million; adjusted EBITDA was $188.5 million with a margin of 15.6 percent. Operating profit declined versus the prior-year quarter primarily due to the anticipated revenue decline and more competitively priced backlog, offset in part by merger synergies and other cost reduction activities. The timing of completion of certain projects continued to benefit margins in the period, although the impact was less pronounced than in the prior-year quarter. These same factors drove the year-over-year decline in adjusted EBITDA.

Vessel utilization rate for the third quarter was 69 percent, down from 71 percent in the second quarter and 70 percent in the prior-year quarter.

Third Quarter Subsea Highlights

• Equinor Trestakk iEPCI™ (Norway)

Delivery of a fully commissioned subsea system to seabed in 22 months, requiring only a single season of marine operations.

• Equinor Visund Nord IOR iEPCI™ (Norway)

Project completion was a new fast-track record for Equinor; 21 months from concept selection to first production.

• Total Kaombo (Angola)

Vessel campaign for FPSO North successfully completed.

Subsea inbound orders for the quarter were $1,553.9 million. The following announced award was included in the period:

• ExxonMobil Liza Phase 2 Project (Guyana)

Award for the engineering of the subsea system for the proposed Liza Phase 2 project. Following engineering and subject to requisite government approvals, project sanction and an authorization to proceed with the next phase, TechnipFMC will then manufacture and deliver the subsea equipment. Delivery would include 30 enhanced vertical deepwater trees and associated tooling, as well as eight manifolds and associated controls and tie-in equipment.

Onshore/Offshore

Financial Highlights

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are detailed below and in the financial schedules.

Onshore/Offshore reported third quarter revenue of $1,532.5 million. Revenue declined 33.6 percent from the prior-year quarter as we moved closer to completion on major projects, primarily Yamal LNG. The anticipated revenue decline was moderately offset by strong growth in our process technologies business.

Onshore/Offshore reported operating profit of $243.4 million. Despite lower revenue, operating profit increased 17.9 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Operating results benefited from several factors in the quarter, including a bonus on Yamal LNG due to provisional acceptance of Train 2, a financial gain on the sale of an offshore yard, a reduction in restructuring and other severance charges, and strong project execution.

Onshore/Offshore reported adjusted EBITDA of $227.3 million, which reflected a 7.1 percent decline versus the prior-year quarter despite a revenue decline of 33.6 percent for the same period. Partially offsetting the negative impact of the anticipated revenue decline were the bonus on Yamal LNG and strong project execution. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 423 basis points from the prior-year results to 14.8 percent.

Third Quarter Onshore/Offshore Highlights

• Yamal LNG (Russia)

Train 2 delivered ahead of schedule, reaching nameplate capacity just 17 days after first drop; construction and commissioning of Train 3 progressing well and is on-track for early delivery.

• ENI Coral South FLNG (Mozambique)

First steel cut for hull in September.

• Martin Linge (Norway)

Successful offshore lifting campaign with four heavy lifts (Process, Utility, Flare, and Living Quarter modules) in four days; offshore campaign for modules hook-up and commissioning started.

Onshore/Offshore inbound orders for the quarter were $1,666.1 million. The following announced award was included in the period:

• Long Son Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. Olefins Plant (Vietnam)

Large* award for the licensing, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and start-up of Vietnam’s first olefins plant on Long Son Island, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. The plant will include proprietary licensed units and will be based on TechnipFMC’s proprietary ethylene technology. TechnipFMC is executing the project in a consortium with SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. of South Korea.

* A “large” award ranges between $500 million and $1 billion (TechnipFMC share).

Surface Technologies

Financial Highlights

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are detailed below and in the financial schedules.

Surface Technologies reported third quarter revenue of $402.2 million. Revenue increased 13.6 percent from the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by higher activity in North America; growth in wellhead product sales and measurement systems was partially offset by reduced hydraulic fracturing flowline sales.

Surface Technologies reported operating profit of $51.9 million; adjusted EBITDA was $72.5 million. Operating profit increased versus the prior-year quarter as product mix outside the Americas more than offset the impact of reduced flowline sales in North America. These same factors drove a year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18 percent decreased 209 basis points from the prior-year results.

Inbound orders for the quarter of $427.2 million increased by 29.8 percent over the prior year. Backlog was $455.8 million. Given the short-cycle nature of the business, most orders are quickly converted into sales revenue; longer contracts are typically converted within twelve months.

Corporate and Other Items

Corporate expense in the third quarter was $68.1 million. Excluding charges and credits of $9.7 million associated with the merger as well as restructuring and other severance charges, corporate expense was $58.4 million; this included $34.4 million of foreign exchange losses.

Net interest expense was $106 million in the quarter, which included an increase in the liability payable to joint venture partners of $93.2 million.

The Company recorded a tax provision during the quarter of $66.7 million. Excluding the impact of discrete items, the effective tax rate was 32.2 percent.

Total depreciation and amortization for the quarter was $142 million, including depreciation and amortization related to purchase price accounting for the merger of $23.3 million.

Capital expenditures were $120.4 million during the quarter.

The Company repurchased 4.6 million shares during the quarter for total consideration of $142.2 million. Since inception of the repurchase program in October 2017, the Company has repurchased 14.4 million shares for total consideration of $442.7 million. The Company remains committed to completing the full authorization of $500 million in ordinary shares by the end of 2018.

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 billion; net cash was $1.5 billion.

2018 Guidance¹

Updates to the Company’s full-year guidance for 2018 are included in the revised table below and detailed on the following page:

Updates to the Company’s full-year guidance for 2018 are detailed below:

• Onshore/Offshore revenue in a range of $5.8 – 6.1 billion, increased from the previous guidance range of $5.6 – 5.9 billion.
• Onshore/Offshore EBITDA margin of at least 13% (excluding charges and credits), increased from the previous guidance of at least 12% (excluding charges and credits).
• Surface Technologies EBITDA margin of at least 16% (excluding charges and credits), reduced from the previous guidance of at least 17.5% (excluding charges and credits).
• Net interest expense of approximately $10 – 12 million per quarter (excluding the impact of revaluation of partners’ redeemable financial liability), reduced from the previous guidance of approximately $20 – 22 million per quarter (excluding the impact of revaluation of partners’ redeemable financial liability).

¹ Our guidance measures adjusted EBITDA margin, corporate expense, net (excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations), net interest expense excluding the impact of revaluation of partners’ redeemable financial liability, and tax rate (excluding the impact of discrete items) are non-GAAP financial measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because of the unpredictability of the individual components of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and the variability of items excluded from each such measure. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

Charges and Credits

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the third quarter 2018 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 basis against 2017 results and measures. Net income, excluding charges and credits, as well as measures derived from it (including Diluted EPS, excluding charges and credits; Income before net interest expense and taxes, excluding charges and credits ("Adjusted Operating profit"); Depreciation and amortization, excluding charges and credits; Earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding charges and credits ("Adjusted EBITDA"); and net cash) are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the exclusion of charges and credits from these financial measures enables investors and management to more effectively evaluate TechnipFMC's operations and consolidated results of operations period-over-period, and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked or misleading to both investors and management by the excluded items. 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.
