Total Company revenue in the third quarter was $1,733 million. Income from continuing operations attributable to TechnipFMC was $5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. These results included after-tax charges and credits totaling $7.7 million of expense, or $0.02 per share, which included the following (Exhibit 6):

• Impairment and other charges of $3.6 million; and
• Restructuring and other charges of $4.1 million.

Adjusted income from continuing operations was $12.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share (Exhibit 6).

Adjusted EBITDA excludes pre-tax charges and credits. Adjusted EBITDA in the period also included a foreign exchange loss of $14.5 million. When excluding the foreign exchange loss, adjusted EBITDA was $200.1 million.

Doug Pferdehirt, Chair and CEO of TechnipFMC, stated, “Third quarter results reflect continued momentum in financial performance. Total Company revenue of $1.7 billion was a solid achievement given the currency headwind experienced during the period. Adjusted EBITDA was $200 million with a margin of 11.5% when excluding foreign exchange loss. Subsea and Surface Technologies both achieved sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in the period.”

Pferdehirt added, “In Subsea, inbound was $1.4 billion, with year-to-date orders now totaling $5.2 billion, exceeding the level achieved in all of last year. Our Subsea Opportunities list remains at a record level. This strong project pipeline and the active dialogue with our large and expanded customer base give us continued confidence that our full-year Subsea orders will approach $7 billion, up as much as 40 percent versus the prior year. Extending the outlook into 2023, we believe orders over the next five quarters will be at least $9 billion.”

“In Surface Technologies, inbound increased sequentially by approximately 65% to $449 million, representing a book-to-bill of 1.4. The strong order activity benefited from the acceleration of orders from Aramco, which was a significant achievement in the period. A large portion of these awards will result in revenue in future periods, providing us with increased visibility for continued growth in our international revenue in 2023.”

Pferdehirt continued, “We continue to see the potential for strong growth in EBITDA, cash flow and financial returns, as evidenced by our stated objective to achieve more than $1 billion of Subsea EBITDA by 2025. Further demonstrating our confidence in this outlook, we announced a new $400 million share buyback program in July, which we quickly put into action with the repurchase of $50 million of our ordinary shares in the third quarter.”

Pferdehirt concluded, “The next leg of growth in oil and gas will be fueled by offshore and the Middle East. The bold steps we took more than five years ago to create TechnipFMC have resulted in a pure-play technology company that is uniquely levered to both of these markets. Our portfolio of innovative products, solutions and disruptive commercial models has further strengthened our leadership position, and we are now taking full advantage of the market growth that lies ahead.”

1 Backlog as of Sep. 30, 2022 was reduced by a foreign exchange impact of $307 million.
2 Backlog does not capture all revenue potential for Subsea Services.
3 Backlog as of Sep. 30, 2022 does not include total Company non-consolidated backlog of $509 million.

Subsea reported third quarter revenue of $1,415 million, flat sequentially versus the second quarter. Higher project installation activity in Brazil and Guyana was offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange.

Subsea reported an operating profit of $105 million. Sequentially, operating profit benefited primarily from the higher installation activity and improved margins in backlog.

Subsea reported adjusted EBITDA of $183.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4.4 percent when compared to the second quarter. The factors impacting operating profit also drove the sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 60 basis points to 13 percent.

Subsea inbound orders were $1,400.8 million for the quarter. Book-to-bill was 1.0. The following awards were included in the period:

• TotalEnergies Lapa North East Project (Brazil)
  
  Significant* engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract by TotalEnergies for its Lapa North East field in the pre-salt Santos Basin offshore Brazil. TechnipFMC will reconfigure and install umbilicals and flexible pipe in a new configuration that will further secure the production of the field.
  
  *A “significant” contract ranges between $75 million and $250 million.

• Shell Jackdaw Project (United Kingdom)
  
  Significant* EPCI contract by Shell plc for the Jackdaw development, located in the United Kingdom North Sea. The contract covers pipelay for a 30 kilometer tieback from the new Jackdaw platform to Shell’s Shearwater platform, as well as an associated riser, spoolpieces, subsea structures, and umbilicals. The tieback will use pipe-in-pipe technology, which is designed for high pressure, high temperature use.
  
  *A “significant” contract ranges between $75 million and $250 million.

The following award was announced in the period, but not included in third quarter inbound orders:

• ExxonMobil Gas to Energy Project (Guyana)
  
  Significant* contract by ExxonMobil affiliate, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited, for the Gas to Energy Project in Guyana. Subject to final project sanction, TechnipFMC will provide engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of subsea risers and pipelines. The project will connect the production from Liza Destiny and Unity back to shore, delivering associated gas from the field to a gas-fired power plant that will supply electricity to the community. TechnipFMC currently employs more than 85 Guyanese and expects to continue to hire and train additional local staff in support of this award.
  
  *A “significant” contract ranges between $75 million and $250 million; the full contract award will not be included in inbound orders until the project receives final investment decision and government approvals.

Partnership and Alliance Highlights

• TechnipFMC and Halliburton Technology Alliance
  
  TechnipFMC and Halliburton renewed their Technology Alliance after the successful completion of an initial 5-year alliance agreement. The alliance accelerates the development and commercialization of new technologies that deliver integrated production solutions that span subsea and subsurface applications. This includes fiber optic sensing, all-electric subsea field development, riserless well intervention systems and carbon capture and storage solutions and includes the award-winning Odassea™ fiber optic sensing solution for reservoir monitoring and production diagnostics.

Backlog	$1,237.8	$1,113.1	$341.0	11.2%	263.0%

Surface Technologies reported third quarter revenue of $318 million, an increase of 5.1 percent from the second quarter. Revenue growth was strongest outside North America, with particular strength in the Middle East.

Surface Technologies reported operating profit of $19 million. Operating profit increased sequentially primarily due to higher international activity, including the progressive ramp in Middle East volume, and timing of associated costs.

Surface Technologies reported adjusted EBITDA of $40.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 25.9 percent when compared to the second quarter. The factors impacting operating profit also drove the sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 210 basis points to 12.8 percent.

Inbound orders for the quarter were $449.2 million, an increase of 64.1 percent sequentially. Book-to-bill in the period was 1.4. The strong order activity benefited from the acceleration of orders from Aramco, a large portion of which will be consumed in future periods. Backlog ended the period at $1,237.8 million.

____________________

1 Our guidance measures of adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because of the unpredictability of the individual components of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and the variability of items excluded from each such measure. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.
