TechnipFMC plc (NYSE: FTI) (the “Company” or “TechnipFMC”) today reported first-quarter 2025 results.

Total Company revenue in the first quarter was $2,233.6 million. Net income attributable to TechnipFMC was $142 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. These results included after-tax charges and credits totaling $0.9 million of expense (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted net income was $142.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes pre-tax charges and credits, was $343.8 million; adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.4 percent (Exhibit 8).

Included in total Company results was a foreign exchange loss of $12.1 million, or $8.1 million after-tax. When excluding the after-tax impact of foreign exchange loss of $8.1 million, net income was $150.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding foreign exchange, was $355.9 million (Exhibit 8).

Doug Pferdehirt, Chair and CEO of TechnipFMC, remarked, “I’m pleased to share another strong set of financial results to start the year. Our quarterly results clearly demonstrate the unique capabilities of our company and the value we are providing to our clients.”

“Total Company revenue in the period was $2.2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA was $356 million when excluding foreign exchange impacts, an increase of 38 percent compared to the prior year. Free cash flow was $380 million, which, together with our strong cash flow from operations, is a notable achievement in light of our typical seasonality.”

Pferdehirt continued, “Subsea inbound was $2.8 billion, representing a book-to-bill of 1.4x. Orders have now exceeded revenue in eight of the last nine quarters, supported by robust inbound for both integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (iEPCI™) and Subsea 2.0®. In the quarter, we were awarded an iEPCI™ contract from Equinor for the Johan Sverdrup Phase 3 project, as well as an iEPCI™ project from Shell that will include our Subsea 2.0® technology on their greenfield Gato do Mato development offshore Brazil. To further advance the growth of our integrated portfolio, we recently announced a strategic alliance with Cairn Oil & Gas to deliver future deepwater developments offshore India using our iEPCI™ commercial model.”

“Our Subsea Opportunities List now highlights more than $26 billion of inbound opportunities over the next 24 months, when using the midpoint of project values. Putting this into perspective, the value of this list has grown nearly 20 percent over the last twelve months and represents the third consecutive quarterly increase. The opportunity set is also supported by multiple new frontiers, including Guyana, Suriname, Namibia, Mozambique, and Cyprus, all of which present long-term opportunities with development lifecycles that extend well beyond the end of the decade.”

Pferdehirt added, “While commodity prices are a primary variable in our clients’ decisions to move forward on a development, the impact they have on the economic feasibility of a project can differ significantly by region and resource. We continue to believe that offshore will remain a preferred investment of operators, with deepwater attracting a growing share of global capital flows, driven by much-improved economic returns and broad access to these resources. This gives us continued confidence in delivering more than $10 billion of Subsea inbound in 2025.”

Pferdehirt continued, “U.S. land is among the most susceptible regions to lower commodity prices, given its relatively high cost of development. The majority of activity in our Surface Technologies segment is driven by international markets, where we have secured significant inbound through the first four months of the year. Importantly, we estimate 95 percent of our total Company revenue in 2025 will be generated from activity outside of the U.S. land market.”

“Our revenue is derived from diverse sources—which include not just products, but also significant installation and services activities. When thinking about our potential exposure to the recently announced tariffs, it is largely confined to product-related revenue from our operations across U.S. land and the U.S. Gulf. Given our mitigation efforts, we anticipate the impact to total Company adjusted EBITDA to be less than $20 million in 2025.”

Pferdehirt concluded, “In a dynamic environment, we have truly differentiated our Company. We have built a strong backlog totaling $15.8 billion. Our exceptional execution is driving robust free cash flow. And we are growing shareholder distributions—allowing for even more share repurchase at a time when our equity offers a very compelling investment opportunity. Importantly, our outlook for Subsea inbound orders for 2025 is unchanged, and our total Company guidance for adjusted EBITDA also remains unchanged at the midpoint of the range for the full year.”

“We are excited about what lies ahead for us. Our opportunity set is deep and diverse. At the same time, our execution is strong and accelerating, and our business transformation is creating even more value for our clients, our Company, and our shareholders.”

Subsea reported first-quarter revenue of $1,936.2 million, a decrease of 5.5 percent from the fourth quarter. The sequential decline was driven by lower activity in Africa, the North Sea, and the Gulf of America as well as reduced services activity due to typical offshore seasonality, partially offset by higher project activity in Asia Pacific and Brazil.

Subsea reported an operating profit of $247.9 million, an increase of 7.8 percent from the fourth quarter. Operating results increased sequentially due to a $12.6 million reduction in restructuring, impairment and other charges, as well as strong project execution and improved earnings mix from backlog. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by lower services activity and reduced fleet availability due to higher scheduled maintenance in the period. Operating profit margin increased 160 basis points to 12.8 percent.

Subsea reported adjusted EBITDA of $334.9 million, a decrease of 1.1 percent when compared to the fourth quarter. The sequential decline was driven by lower services activity and reduced fleet availability due to higher scheduled maintenance in the period, largely offset by strong project execution. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 80 basis points to 17.3 percent.

Subsea inbound orders were $2.8 billion for the quarter. Book-to-bill was 1.4x. The following awards were included in the period:

• Shell Gato do Mato iEPCI™ project (Brazil)
  
  Major* iEPCI™ contract by Shell for its Gato do Mato greenfield development offshore Brazil. In addition to integrated execution, the project will utilize Subsea 2.0® configure-to-order (CTO) subsea production systems. Combining both offerings will enable streamlined project management through a single interface and accelerate time to first oil.
  
  *A “major” contract is greater than $1 billion.

• Equinor Johan Sverdrup Phase 3 iEPCI™ project (Norway)
  
  Large* iEPCI™ contract by Equinor for its Johan Sverdrup Phase 3 development in the Norwegian North Sea. The Johan Sverdrup field, which originally began production in 2019, is now one of the largest developments in the region. This latest phase will increase production by tying in additional wells to the current infrastructure, which is powered by low-emission resources onshore. This direct award follows an integrated Front End Engineering and Design (iFEED®) study. TechnipFMC will design, manufacture, and install subsea production systems, umbilicals, and rigid pipe that will tie new templates into the existing Johan Sverdrup field center.
  
  *A “large” contract is between $500 million and $1 billion.

Surface Technologies reported first-quarter revenue of $297.4 million, a decrease of 6.9 percent from the fourth quarter. The sequential decline in revenue was driven by project timing in the Middle East, as well as slower project activity in Africa and Asia Pacific. The sequential decrease in international markets was partially offset by higher activity in North America.

Surface Technologies reported operating profit of $30.2 million, a decrease of 17.3 percent versus the fourth quarter. Operating profit decreased sequentially due to lower activity in international markets, partially offset by higher activity in North America. Results were also favorably impacted by a net reduction of $5.1 million of charges and credits. Operating profit margin decreased 120 basis points to 10.2 percent.

Surface Technologies reported adjusted EBITDA of $46.6 million, a decrease of 12.9 percent when compared to the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially due to lower activity in international markets, partially offset by higher activity in North America. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 110 basis points to 15.7 percent.

Inbound orders for the quarter were $303.6 million, a sequential increase of 34.9 percent. Backlog ended the period at $870.4 million.

Corporate expense was $25.8 million.

Foreign exchange loss was $12.1 million.
