PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
Technip Energies (Paris:TE) (ISIN:NL0014559478) (the “Company”), a leading Engineering & Technology company for the energy transition, today announces its unaudited financial results for full year 2022.
Arnaud Pieton, Chief Executive Officer of Technip Energies, commented:
“Our differentiated hybrid model with its complementary long and short cycle business segments continues to yield strong results. Thanks to the extraordinary commitment of our teams to deliver excellence in execution despite external challenges, we achieved year-over-year margin expansion, substantial earnings growth and consistent underlying free cash flow generation. Based on the strength of these results and our confidence in the outlook, we propose a 16% dividend increase for FY 2022.”
“Our commercial strategy for Technology, Products & Services delivered outstanding segment backlog growth that exceeded 60% year-over-year, driven by notable awards in ethylene, renewable fuels, and continued momentum in project management consultancy. This supports our medium-term objective to reach €2 billion in revenue for TPS, our highest margin segment.”
“Energy transition momentum continued to strengthen through increased demand and enhanced policy support, particularly in the US and Europe. During the year, we extended our early leadership in these fast-growing markets with €1 billion of secured orders across several domains including carbon capture, clean hydrogen and sustainable chemistry. This represents a pivotal milestone for T.EN as we implement our strategy with targeted investments, impactful R&D and promising partnerships towards building our future core.”
“We expect the global gas and LNG markets to remain strong in 2023 and beyond underpinned by further demand growth in Europe and recovering demand from China. Our very active early engagement portfolio across geographies confirms our leading position, and the development of our new modularized mid-scale LNG solutions will enable accelerated time-to-market and decarbonized LNG production.”
“These supportive macro tailwinds allow us to anticipate positive momentum in Project Delivery orders over the next two years, with similar trends continuing in TPS. As such, Technip Energies is, in the medium-term, well positioned to deliver material revenue growth across both business segments, while sustaining attractive levels of profitability.”
“To deliver our ambition, we continue to invest in our people, promote diversity and inclusion, and reduce our carbon footprint. We have strengthened our ESG roadmap with focus on impact-driven targets, reinforcing our commitment to creating positive change. We are delighted that our progress to date is being recognized through improved ESG ratings, including an AAA rating with MSCI, and we are committed to continuous improvement on our sustainability path.”
“Our front-runner spirit and culture of innovation are shaping an exciting future for Technip Energies as we evolve from a project company with technology towards a technology and solutions company with strong project capabilities. Throughout this journey, we will retain our discipline and selectivity to deliver sustained value to our shareholders.”

Corporate and other items
Corporate costs, excluding non-recurring items, were €74.8 million for the full year 2022. This included an exceptional bonus granted to all employees excluding senior levels of management, totaling €30 million, as well as a negative foreign exchange impact of €8.4 million. This also reflected a normalization of corporate costs in 2022 following the spin-off in 2021 where corporate costs totaled €30.3 million.
Non-recurring expense amounted to €1.4 million mainly related to impairment on leased offices and severance costs, which were largely offset by releases of provisions for which risks expired.
Net financial income of €15.5 million was positively impacted by interest income from cash on deposit which benefited from higher rates of interest, partially offset by interest expenses associated with the senior unsecured notes.
Effective tax rate on an adjusted IFRS basis was 28.3% for the full year 2022, in line with the low end of 2022 guidance of 28% – 32%. Year-over-year, the tax rate has reduced by 140 bps, benefiting from the lower rate of French corporation tax and a more favorable mix of earnings in lower tax jurisdictions.
Depreciation and amortization expense was €109.1 million, of which €70.1 million is related to IFRS 16.
Adjusted net cash at December 31, 2022 was €3.1 billion, broadly in line with the position at December 31, 2021 of €3.1 billion.
Adjusted free cash flow was €85.9 million for the full year 2022. Adjusted free cash flow, excluding the working capital variance of €334.3 million, was €420.2 million benefiting from strong operational performance and consistently high conversion from adjusted recurring EBIT. Free cash flow is stated after capital expenditures, net, of €46.8 million. Adjusted operating cash flow was €132.7 million.
Liquidity and credit rating information
Adjusted liquidity of €4.5 billion at December 31, 2022 comprised of €3.8 billion of cash and €750 million of liquidity provided by the Company’s undrawn revolving credit facility, offset by €80 million of outstanding commercial paper. The Company’s revolving credit facility is available for general use and serves as a backstop for the Company’s commercial paper program. In December 2022, the Company successfully extended the revolving credit facility by one year to February 13, 2026.
Dividend
In line with the Company’s dividend policy, the Board of Directors will propose at the Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 10, 2023, the distribution of a cash dividend of €0.52 per share for the 2022 financial year. If distribution of the cash dividend is approved, the ex-dividend date will be May 22, 2023, the record date for the dividend will be May 23, 2023, and the dividend will be paid on May 24, 2023.
Other
The Company announced on November 14, 2022, that it intended to terminate the registration of its Ordinary Shares, par value €0.01 per share, and its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For this purpose, the Company filed with the SEC a certification under Form 15F on November 14, 2022.
