TechnipFMC plc (NYSE: FTI) (Paris: FTI) today reported second quarter 2021 results.

Summary Financial Results from Continuing Operations

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in financial schedules.

Total Company revenue in the second quarter was $1,668.8 million. Loss from continuing operations attributable to TechnipFMC was $174.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.

After-tax charges and credits totaled $148.7 million of charges, or $0.33 per diluted share. Reported results included a loss from the Company’s equity investment in Technip Energies of $146.8 million primarily related to the change in market value in the quarter.

Adjusted loss from continuing operations was $26 million, or $0.06 per diluted share (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes pre-tax charges and credits, was $144.3 million; adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.6 percent (Exhibit 8). Included in adjusted EBITDA was a foreign exchange loss of $10.7 million.

Doug Pferdehirt, Chairman and CEO of TechnipFMC, stated, “Second quarter results reflect another strong quarter for our Company. Total Company revenue improved sequentially to $1.7 billion, with both Subsea and Surface Technologies segments reporting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11 percent.”

Pferdehirt added, “In Subsea, we demonstrated our ability to continue winning, with inbound totaling $1.3 billion for the quarter. The order strength in the first half of the year has been indicative of the continued market progression we outlined last year. Year-to-date, we have announced ten awards, of which 50 percent will be executed as integrated projects. This included the addition of two new iEPCI™ clients in the quarter.”

“In Surface Technologies, inbound orders increased 32 percent from the first quarter driven by our international business where well completion activity continued to recover from the prior year decline. International growth was driven by the Middle East, the North Sea and China. Orders in the Americas also increased, reflecting continued momentum in completion and drilling activity and the success of our iComplete™ offering.”

Pferdehirt continued, “We have increased our full-year expectations for both operating segments given our strong year-to-date results and continued improvement in the broader market outlook. Subsea inbound orders of $2.8 billion in the first half of the year were strong. We continue to see a healthy list of prospects and remain very confident in our full-year guidance for Subsea orders of more than $4 billion. Furthermore, growth in 2022 is supported by an increasing set of opportunities. When using the midpoint value of our Subsea Opportunity List, the project award potential has increased by nearly 20 percent to $17 billion over the next 24 months.”

“Looking beyond the traditional market, we believe that offshore will continue to play a meaningful role in the total energy mix. We are building partnerships in support of new energy, leveraging our differentiated technologies, and capitalizing on our integrated project execution and expertise as the subsea architect.”

“We are making steady progress in our partnerships focused on wind and wave opportunities. The market momentum for wind development continues to support increased investment in this abundant source of renewable energy. And when combined with wave technology, we can generate even greater energy output and reduced intermittency utilizing integrated offshore solutions.”

Pferdehirt added, “Our Deep Purple™ solution is centered around technology development and integration capabilities that convert this renewable energy into hydrogen, enabling economies of scale that were previously unattainable by offshore renewables projects. An example of this is our recently announced partnership with Portuguese energy utility EDP, as well as several notable research partners, in a concept study for the development of green hydrogen production from offshore wind power through a project called BEHYOND.”

Pferdehirt concluded, “Our success is driven by our core competencies, having pioneered and delivered next generation subsea technologies and the industry’s only fully integrated commercial model. We are demonstrating that these unique capabilities are completely transferable to the renewable energy space, giving us confidence in our ability to extend our leadership in subsea to the development of new and novel energy resources offshore.”

2021 Full-Year Financial Guidance¹

The Company’s full-year guidance for 2021 can be found in the table below.

Updates to the Company’s full-year guidance for 2021 are as follows:

• Subsea revenue in a range of $5.2 - 5.5 billion, which increased from the previous guidance range of $5.0 - 5.4 billion.
• Surface Technologies EBITDA margin in a range of 10 - 12% (excluding charges and credits), which increased from the previous guidance range of 8 - 11%.

• Tax provision, as reported, in a range of $85 - 95 million, which increased from the previous guidance range of $70 - 80 million.

All segment guidance assumes no further material degradation from COVID-19-related impacts. Guidance is based on continuing operations and thus excludes the impact of Technip Energies, which is reported as discontinued operations.

¹Our guidance measures adjusted EBITDA margin, corporate expense, net, net interest expense and free cash flow 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 second quarter 2021 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 2020 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.
