TechnipFMC plc Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2020

Filed May 4, 2020For Securities:FTI

Summary

TechnipFMC plc (FTI) reported a significant net loss of $3,256.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, a substantial deterioration from a profit of $20.9 million in the same period last year. This loss was largely driven by a massive goodwill impairment charge of $3,083.4 million across its Subsea and Surface Technologies segments, signaling a sharp reassess of asset values in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and falling oil prices. Revenue, however, saw a modest increase of 7.5% to $3,130.3 million, primarily due to increased project activity in Subsea and Technip Energies. The company's outlook is significantly impacted by the prevailing market conditions, leading to a planned postponement of its separation transaction and aggressive cost-reduction measures. Despite the substantial net loss and significant impairments, the company's liquidity remains a focus, with $4,999.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $588.8 million in net cash as of March 31, 2020. The company is implementing cost-saving initiatives and has reduced its capital expenditure outlook. The planned separation of its Onshore/Offshore segment (now Technip Energies) has been postponed due to market volatility. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to navigate the challenging operating environment, manage its cost structure, and execute on its remaining backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions

The substantial net loss of $3,256.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by significant impairment charges, most notably a $3,083.4 million goodwill impairment recognized in the Subsea and Surface Technologies segments. This reflects a reassessment of asset values due to market conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and declining commodity prices.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused operational impacts including supply chain disruptions, productivity declines, and logistics constraints. It has also led to the postponement of the planned separation of the Onshore/Offshore segment and significant market volatility. In response, the company has implemented aggressive cost-reduction measures and is focused on cash and liquidity preservation.

As of March 31, 2020, TechnipFMC maintained a strong liquidity position with $4,999.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $588.8 million in net cash. The company has access to a $2,500.0 million revolving credit facility with $625.9 million in unused capacity, and expects cash flow from operations to be positive for the full year despite reduced order forecasts.

The company announced on March 15, 2020, the postponement of the planned separation of its Onshore/Offshore segment (now renamed Technip Energies) into an independent company. This decision was made due to market volatility, a sharp decline in commodity prices, and heightened volatility in global equity markets, with the transaction to be reconsidered when markets sufficiently recover.
