On October 25, 2011, Technip’s Board of Directors approved the third quarter 2011 consolidated accounts. Chairman and CEO Thierry Pilenko commented: “The third quarter was active for Technip. Our order intake accelerated to over €2.3 billion, reflecting the positive trends in our industry that we highlighted at the first half of 2011. New orders were well spread across Subsea and Onshore/Offshore segments. They contained a mix of medium-sized projects, as in previous quarters, and some larger contributions, notably the Mariscal Sucre field development in Venezuela and an additional milestone on the Prelude FLNG. Despite the volatile economic backdrop, activity in the month of October has remained robust, as illustrated by the recent letter of award received for the charter and operation in Brazil of two Flex-Lay vessels with a top tension capacity of 550 tons.

We announced the proposed acquisition of Global Industries on September 12th. The reaction from clients and internal teams to the prospect of the two companies working together was very encouraging. The preliminary proxy statement was filed in the US as part of the merger process, all technical aspects of the transaction are proceeding as planned and therefore it is possible that we will close the acquisition earlier than expected. Within legal constraints, Technip and Global teams have started to discuss the integration process.

We also maintained our focus on current operations and project delivery, and the performance of our teams is reflected in a good quarter for revenue and profit. Our revenue increased by 12.3% year-on-year, reflecting growth in all our segments. Our Group profit margin was 10.6%, slightly above the level a year ago, with Subsea at 16.9% and Onshore/Offshore just over 7%. We raised our full year profit expectations in July and are therefore able to maintain this positive outlook and to raise slightly our Subsea revenue expectations.

Looking ahead, our clients continue to invest in projects, through both FEED works and larger final investment decisions, and we therefore continue to see opportunities to expand in nearly all our markets. The risks to this outlook remain the same: the strength of competition should not be underestimated, and general economic and widespread political uncertainties will continue to impact the timetable for some projects, notably those which require financing. Nonetheless, the high oil price, combined with an increasing demand for gas, is driving upstream investments, while strategic and regional imperatives support downstream spending.

In this context, we seek to maintain our focus on strong operational performance and sustained and diversified order intake, as well as on organic and external growth underpinned by a solid balance sheet, to deliver value to both customers and shareholders.”

III. OTHER – GLOBAL INDUSTRIES

As announced on September 12, 2011, Technip entered into a merger agreement to acquire Global Industries, Ltd. (“Global”). Upon completion of the merger, Global will become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Technip. The merger is subject to approval by Global’s shareholders who must also approve the amended and restated articles of incorporation, thus removing Global’s current limitation on non-U.S. ownership. Global’s preliminary proxy statement containing important information on the merger was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2011.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the merger cannot be completed until regulatory approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), the Federal Economic Competition Law (“LFCE”) in Mexico and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) have been obtained or applicable waiting periods have been terminated or expired. Pursuant to provisions of the HSR Act, Technip and Global each filed a notification on September 23, 2011. On October 24, 2011, the Federal Trade Commission notified Global and Technip of early termination of the waiting period, therefore satisfying the requirements of the HSR Act and the merger agreement. Technip and Global also submitted an antitrust filing in Mexico pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. The waiting period under the LFCE expired on October 20, 2011, thereby satisfying the closing condition contained in the merger agreement.

The merger is also subject to review by CFIUS. Technip and Global submitted a joint voluntary notice to CFIUS on October 7, 2011. The waiting period during which CFIUS must conclude a preliminary review expires at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on November 9, 2011.

Additional Information:

In connection with the proposed transaction, Global Industries, Ltd. has filed a preliminary proxy statement and other relevant documents with the SEC.

IV. 2011 FULL YEAR OUTLOOK: WITH INCREASED SUBSEA REVENUE1

  • Group revenue around €6,500 - 6,700 million, unchanged
  • Subsea revenue above €2,700 million, formerly around €2,600 - 2,700 million
  • Subsea operating margin4 between 16.5% and 17.0%
  • Onshore/Offshore combined operating margin4 between 6.5% and 7.0%

Notes:

1 At current exchange rates.

2 Operating income from recurring activities before depreciation and amortization.

3 EBITDA divided by revenue.

4 Operating income from recurring activities divided by revenue.

5 As per IFRS, diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to the Parent Company’s Shareholders, restated from 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 bond, 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.
