TechnipFMC plc reported a strong third quarter and first nine months of 2024, with significant year-over-year revenue and net income growth.
Total revenue for the third quarter increased by 14.2% to $2.35 billiona, and for the first nine months, it rose 16.9% to $6.72 billion. This growth was primarily driven by the Subsea segment, which saw substantial revenue and operating profit increases due to strong backlog conversion and favorable project mix, including significant contributions from iEPCI projects. The company's net income attributable to TechnipFMC plc for the third quarter surged to $274.6 million from $90.0 million in the prior year, while for the nine-month period, net income reached $618.2 million, a dramatic increase from $3.2 million in 2023.
This profitability improvement was bolstered by the gain on the disposal of the Measurement Solutions business and a significant release of a valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets. Looking ahead, TechnipFMC anticipates continued strength in the energy market, with a strategic focus on offshore and Middle East opportunities, driven by evolving market trends such as shifting capital flows and the increasing role of new technologies.
The company maintains a robust order backlog, particularly in its Subsea segment, providing good visibility for future revenue and profitability. Furthermore, TechnipFMC continues its commitment to shareholder returns through dividends and substantial share repurchase programs.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main drivers behind TechnipFMC's revenue and profit growth in the first nine months of 2024?
The primary drivers for revenue and profit growth are the strong performance of the Subsea segment, fueled by increasing energy demand, upstream spending, and successful conversion of a robust backlog, particularly through iEPCI projects. Favorable activity mix and higher volumes in Subsea have significantly boosted profitability. Additionally, the nine-month results benefited from a gain on the disposal of the Measurement Solutions business and a significant release of a valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets, which positively impacted net income.
How is the Subsea segment performing compared to the Surface Technologies segment?
The Subsea segment is outperforming the Surface Technologies segment. Subsea revenue increased by 22.4% in the first nine months of 2024, with operating profit growing by 81.7%. In contrast, Surface Technologies revenue decreased by 8.5% over the same period, though its operating profit saw a substantial increase of 106.0% year-over-year, largely due to the gain on the sale of the Measurement Solutions business and improved operating performance in international markets.
What is the outlook for TechnipFMC based on its order backlog and market commentary?
The outlook is positive, supported by a strong order backlog of $14.7 billion as of September 30, 2024, especially in the Subsea segment. Management sees continued strength in the global energy market, driven by resilience, growing energy demand, and geopolitical factors supporting energy security. Key trends include a shift in capital flows to offshore and Middle East markets, the increasing role of new technologies, and growth in subsea services. The company expects to leverage these trends to drive future growth.
How is the company managing its debt and liquidity, and what has been the impact of recent credit rating changes?
TechnipFMC is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet with sufficient liquidity. Net debt was $129.2 million as of September 30, 2024. The company has a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility with no outstanding letters of credit as of the reporting date. Recent upgrades to investment grade ratings from S&P and Fitch provide enhanced financial flexibility, have led to the release of collateral, and removed certain restrictive covenants, which is a positive development for the company's capital structure and access to capital.
