Filed August 6, 2018For Securities:FTI

Summary

TechnipFMC plc's (FTI) second quarter 2018 report shows a significant year-over-year revenue decline of 23.0%, attributed to reduced Subsea project activity, particularly in Africa, Asia Pacific, and North America, as well as slower progress on some Onshore/Offshore projects like Yamal LNG. Despite the revenue drop, the company reported an increase in Net Income attributable to TechnipFMC plc to $105.7 million, up from $164.9 million in the prior year's comparable quarter, and a 37.3% increase in net income for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, reaching $200.8 million. The Surface Technologies segment showed robust growth, with revenue up 33.7% for the quarter and 40.9% for the six-month period, driven by the recovery in the North American market and increased demand for pressure control equipment and services. The Onshore/Offshore segment also saw a recovery in operating profit margin, despite a revenue decrease, owing to strong project execution. The company's order backlog increased to $14.9 billion, bolstered by strong inbound orders in Onshore/Offshore and Surface Technologies, indicating a positive outlook for future revenue streams. Financially, TechnipFMC ended the period with a net cash position of $1.7 billion, down from $2.9 billion at the end of 2017, reflecting operational cash usage and investments. The company continues to navigate market volatility but expresses confidence in its liquidity and ability to meet future funding requirements through operations and its credit facility. Management is actively working to remediate previously identified material weaknesses in internal controls.
