1 Operating income from recurring activities after Income/(Loss) of Equity Affiliates.
2 Operating income from recurring activities after Income/(Loss) of Equity Affiliates before depreciation and amortization.
3 Operating income from recurring activities after Income/(Loss) of Equity Affiliates, divided by revenue.
4 As per IFRS, diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to the Parent Company’s Shareholders, restated for financial interest related to dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period, plus the effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares related to the convertible bonds, dilutive stock options and performance shares calculated according to the “Share Purchase Method” (IFRS 2), less treasury shares. In conformity with this method, anti-dilutive stock options are ignored in calculating EPS. Dilutive options are taken into account if the subscription price of the stock options plus the future IFRS 2 charge (i.e. the sum of annual charge to be recorded until the end of the stock option plan) is lower than the average market share price during the period.

Thierry Pilenko, Chairman and CEO, commented: “The third quarter showed solid delivery against our objectives, with business won across our segments and geographies. We can report a quarter of sales and profit growth, strong order intake, momentum in our cost reduction and good cash generation.

Third quarter performance

Subsea delivered revenue growth of 24%, with profitability at 14.3%. Project activity was good across our regions, in line with normal seasonality. The Deep Blue completed its planned maintenance and returned to new projects in the US Gulf of Mexico. The summer offshore campaign in the North Sea moved forward satisfactorily and in Angola installation progressed well on Block 15/06. Fleet optimization actions taken over the last 18 months resulted in a high level of utilization – 86% compared to 75% a year ago. The Açu flexible pipe plant in Brazil ramped up well this quarter.

Subsea order intake in the third quarter was robust and diversified, including Kodiak in the US Gulf of Mexico, Edradour and Kraken in the North Sea, and Bangka in Indonesia. We continue to see a busy bidding pipeline.

For the Onshore/Offshore segment we delivered revenue growth of 13% and €70 million of operating profit. We continued to mobilize well on the Yamal project in Russia, and first steel was cut on modules in China. Construction was nearly complete for the Burgas refinery in Bulgaria, while the Heidelberg Spar sailed away for the US Gulf of Mexico.

We grew our Project Management Consultancy (PMC) business winning the RAPID PMC contract in Malaysia. PMC gives us long-term visibility with a good risk/reward profile. We continue to win projects, notably in the flourishing North American market, based around our technology footprint.

Our net cash position improved compared to end-June, to €747 million, reflecting both project progress and our solid order intake.

We maintained our focus on costs. SG&A was €21 million lower in the quarter and €43 million lower year-to-date, reflecting restructuring and reorganisation initiatives, lower start-up costs and the divestment of non-core activities. In the third quarter, we completed the divestment of our Indian diving business. Capex fell to €77 million compared to €157 million a year ago, as the investment in Açu was almost completed. We continue to invest modestly in key areas such as flexible pipes in Le Trait, France.

Outlook and strategy

Our full year guidance is unchanged compared to what we said in July. Looking further ahead, although there remain reasons to be cautious (such as the lower oil price and the factors we highlighted in the second quarter), we expect to build on the opportunities that we see for Technip to expand its leadership:

  • The ability to work early with our clients across our activities to devise a project approach that meets their needs to reduce cost and complexity in their projects, as evidenced by the Juniper award,
  • The continued attraction of North America as a region of upstream (LNG) and downstream growth (refining and petrochemical), as evidenced by our technology awards such as ASCENT and Sasol,
  • The success of the PMC service capabilities acquired with Stone & Webster, as highlighted by our involvement for the RAPID project in Malaysia, and
  • The strong demand in Brazil for high-end flexible pipes driven by the planned arrival of FPSOs for the pre-salt fields.

To conclude, our solid backlog of €19.3 billion to which a growing number of reimbursable and long-term service and charter contracts can be added, gives us good visibility. We will maintain our focus on excellence in project execution, on our capital and cost discipline, on cash flow and return on capital. This will enable us to pursue our strategy of providing sustainable growth and predictable dividends for our shareholders, whilst broadening Technip’s industry leadership in oil services to better serve our clients.”

In the third quarter of 2014, compared to a year ago, the estimated translation impact from foreign exchange was negative €17 million on revenue and positive €4 million on operating income from recurring activities after income/(loss) of equity affiliates.

4. Non-Current Items and Group Net Income

Operating income including non-current items was €208 million in the third quarter 2014, versus €220 million a year ago, restated*. Non-current items of €33.8 million reflect mainly the sale of India diving business and, upon completion of current commitments expected to be before the end of 2014, the closure of the Offshore Wind business.

Financial result in the third quarter of 2014 included €17.8 million of interest expense on long-term debt and a €4.8 million positive impact from changes in foreign exchange rates and fair market value of hedging instruments (compared with a €11.4 million negative impact in the third quarter of 2013, restated*).

The variation in Diluted Number of Shares is mainly due to performance shares granted to Technip employees, more than offset by share repurchases.

III. OBJECTIVES UNCHANGED FOR 2014 AND 2015

  • Subsea 2014: Revenue between €4.6 and €4.9 billion, operating margin of at least 12%
  • Subsea 2015: Revenue well above €5 billion, operating margin between 15% and 17%
  • Onshore/Offshore 20141: Revenue between €5.55 and €5.80 billion, base case operating margin 5% to 6%
  • Onshore/Offshore 2015: Revenue around €6 billion with stable operating margin versus 2014

1 Our base case outlook implies a 5% to 6% margin for the full year 2014. There are three factors impacting our margin outlook – the continued impact of the mobilization on Yamal LNG, the expected impacts of the behavior of our customers and the risks to our business of interruptions caused by geopolitics including sanctions. If our assumptions on these issues were to prove insufficiently cautious, we estimate our margin to be about a percentage point less this year.
