Thierry Pilenko, Chairman and CEO, commented: “In the first quarter we grew revenue in both our segments, reflecting the strong project awards over the last two years. Subsea performance reflected the early phases of recently won large contracts, the absence of major projects completing and some disruptions to offshore operations including for weather. In Onshore/Offshore there was steady progress on projects, including those in later phases such as the Lucius Spar and the Jubail refinery.

We also made significant progress on our Capex program, with the delivery of the Deep Orient to her first project and the start of sea trials for the Deep Energy. We started to cut steel on the first 550-ton pipelay vessel for Petrobras, and we signed the project financing for these vessels. Construction of Technip’s second flexible pipe manufacturing plant in Açu, Brazil, is advancing and employees are training at our existing plant in Vitória.

Order intake was strong in Subsea, as the West African market saw some long-awaited projects sanctioned. Technip has also its first orders for technology-rich flexible pipes for the Sapinhoa and Lula Nordeste Pre-salt developments. Technip continues to differentiate through commitment in the early stages of projects across the Group by bringing expertise notably for downstream petrochemicals in North America. We won a number of important FEED contracts in the quarter such as The Mosaic fertilizer plant. Our early-stage involvement in the Yamal LNG project highlights many of our key strengths: technology, project execution track record in frontier areas, in-country partnerships. Whilst there has been more volatility in underlying commodity prices during the last few weeks, we continue to see good opportunities for new orders in all our regions, even if the timing of individual awards remains uncertain.

The next few months are important in terms of operations. In Subsea, we continue to ramp-up our newer projects notably into procurement, and are in the critical phases of 2013 subsea projects notably in Venezuela, the North Sea, Mexico and Australia. In the Onshore/Offshore segment, the Lucius Spar is set to sail-away to the Gulf of Mexico.

With all the above in mind, we maintain the full year objectives we set out in mid-February.”

I. PORTFOLIO OF PROJECTS

1. First Quarter 2013 Order Intake

During first quarter 2013, Technip’s order intake was €2,906 million. The breakdown by business segment was as follows:

Order Intake (€ million)   1Q 2012   1Q 2013
Subsea   1,860.3   1,925.6
Onshore/Offshore 1,449.4 980.2
Total   3,309.7   2,905.8
 

Subsea order intake included a major EPCI contract for Moho Nord which combines two field developments offshore Congo boosting Technip’s activities in West Africa. Technip’s S-Lay vessel G1200 will in particular be deployed. Several small and medium-sized contracts also contributed including the Malikai project in Malaysia with the G1201 vessel and the Gannet reinstatement project in the UK North Sea, implementing our pipe-in-pipe solution. The flexible pipe supply for Sapinhoa & Lula Nordeste demonstrates that pre-salt developments can benefit from Technip’s innovative solutions and manufacturing capabilities in Brazil.

Onshore/Offshore order intake for the quarter included two projects in India: the Heera Redevelopment platform to be installed offshore Mumbai, using Technip’s proprietary Unideck® integrated deck installation system and an EPCm contract to design and build a world-scale PTA plant for JBF Petrochemicals. In Asia Pacific, Shell’s Prelude Floating LNG, to be situated off the north west coast of Australia, also contributed to the order intake through the progressive conversion into lump sum. In the UAE, a revamp project for a flare modification for Adma Opco, confirms our will to participate to complex projects.

The main contracts announced since January 2013 and their approximate value, if publicly disclosed, are listed in annex IV (b).

2. Backlog by Geographical Areas

At the end of first quarter 2013, Technip’s backlog was €14,778 million compared with €14,251 million at the end of 2012, driven by order intake partially offset by currency movements.

This backlog remains diversified in terms of project types, sizes, technologies and geographical areas as set-out in the table below:

Backlog   December 31,   March 31,   Change
(€ million)   2012   2013  
Europe, Russia, Central Asia 4,339.4 4,094.5 (5.6)%
Africa 1,207.4 2,346.1 1.9x
Middle East 1,577.9 1,436.5 (9.0)%
Asia Pacific 3,029.5 3,203.8 5.8%
Americas 4,096.4 3,697.1 (9.7)%
Total   14,250.6   14,778.0   3.7%
 

3. Backlog Scheduling

Approximately 41% of the backlog is scheduled for execution in 2013.

Backlog Estimated Scheduling as of March 31, 2013 (€ million)   Subsea   Onshore/Offshore   Group
2013 (9 months)   2,784.8   3,252.9   6,037.7

II. FIRST QUARTER 2013 OPERATIONAL & FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

1. Subsea

Subsea main operations for the quarter were as follows:

  • In the North Sea, offshore operations progressed on several projects notably on Nexen Golden Eagle and Lundin Brynhild. Other projects such as Greater Stella and Goliat are also moving forward. Engineering ramped-up on the recently announced Gannet and Juliet projects. Quad 204 and Bøyla moved into their engineering and procurement phases (as previously disclosed, these multi-year projects will generate revenue without margin, before offshore operations in 2014 and beyond),
  • In the Americas, the Deep Blue and Deep Pioneer vessels were in Brazil for the BC-10 phase 2 operations. Start-up costs for the new flexible pipe plant in Açu, Brazil, mainly associated with training new employees were taken as operating costs. Meanwhile, the Vitória plant continued to supply flexible pipes for many projects. In the Gulf of Mexico, offshore operations continued in Mexico, where weather conditions slowed pipelay operations,
  • In Africa, offshore phase continued for CoGa project and works were finalized on Jubilee 1A. Engineering team mobilization started for the recently announced Moho Nord development,
  • In Asia Pacific, large bore pipes installation with the G1201 vessel started for the Liwan gas platform. Wheatstone and Panyu developments progressed as well, and engineering started for Malikai subsea scope.

Overall Group vessel utilization rate for the first quarter 2013 was 72%, compared with 62% in the first quarter 2012. The utilization was more balanced between vessels this quarter, with good utilization of the G1200 and G1201 for example.

Subsea financial performance is set out in the following table:

€ million   1Q 2012   1Q 2013   Change

Petronas FLNG1 activities progressed as well. In Australia, detailed design for Wheatstone gas processing platform continued and Prelude FLNG works were carried forward,
  • In the Americas, Spars construction continued at our yard in Pori, Finland, with Lucius due to sail-away shortly. FEED studies across the USA progressed for several petrochemical facilities such as an ammonia plant in Louisiana and an ethylene unit in Freeport, Texas. Engineering and procurement were initiated for the Westlake ethylene plant in Kentucky. In Mexico, engineering, procurement and construction for Ethylene XXI project continued,
  • Elsewhere, works on Burgas refinery in Bulgaria continued, in India mobilization started for onshore and offshore projects such as JBF’s PTA plant and Heera Redevelopment platform. In the North Sea, procurement activities started for the Aasta Hansteen Spar, while mobilization for Martin Linge platform was initiated.

Onshore/Offshore financial performance is set out in the following table:

€ million   1Q 2012   1Q 2013   Change
Onshore/Offshore      
Revenue 974.2 1,093.2 12.2%
Operating Income From Recurring Activities 64.1 74.1 15.6%
Operating Margin   6.6%   6.8%   20bp
 

3. Group

Technip Group’s Operating Income From Recurring Activities including Corporate charges as detailed in annex I (c) is set out in the following table:

€ million   1Q 2012   1Q 2013   Change
Group      
Revenue 1,765.3 2,015.8 14.2%
Operating Income From Recurring Activities 165.2 173.5 5.0%
Operating Margin   9.4%   8.6%   (75)bp
 

In first quarter 2013, foreign exchange had a negative impact estimated at €45 million on revenue and a negative impact estimated at €6 million on operating income from recurring activities.

4. Group Net Income

Operating income was €174 million in first quarter 2013 versus €165 million a year ago.

Financial result in first quarter 2013 included a €1.4 million positive impact from changes in foreign exchange rates and fair market value of hedging instruments, compared with a €1 million negative impact in first quarter 2012.

The slight variation in Diluted Number of Shares is mainly due to stock options granted to Technip’s employees.

€ million, except Diluted Earnings per Share, and Diluted Number of Shares   1Q 2012   1Q 2013   Change
Operating Income   165.2   173.5   5.0%
Financial Result (7.2) (8.3) 15.3%
Share of Income / (Loss) of Equity Affiliates - 0.2 nm
Income Tax Expense (45.1) (48.5) 7.5%

5. Cash Flow and Statement of Financial Position

As of March 31, 2013, Group had net debt of €91 million compared to €183 million of net cash at end of December 2012.

€ million    
Net Cash Position as of December 31, 2012   183.2
Net Cash Generated from / (Used in) Operating Activities (140.0)
of which:
Cash Generated from / (Used in) Operations 215.1
Change in Working Capital Requirements (355.1)
Capital Expenditures (110.7)
Other including FX Impacts (23.4)
Net Cash Position as of March 31, 2013   (90.9)
 

Working capital requirements increased by €355 million during the quarter, explained primarily by the use of advance payments to progress projects, notably those in the middle and later periods of execution, whereas the new orders taken in the first quarter will only generate cash advances in later periods. Given the above, the net construction contract balance fell from €419 million to €156 million during the quarter.

Capital expenditures for first quarter 2013 were €111 million compared to €96 million one year ago. Total capital expenditures for 2013 are expected to be at similar level as 2012.

Concerning financial debt, the Group signed the project financing with a consortium of banks for the two 550-tonne pipelay support vessels being constructed with Odebrecht Oil and Gas for charter in Brazil. The Group also disposed a portion of its shareholding in the US company GIFI.

Shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2013, was €4,064 million compared with €3,962 million as of December 31, 2012, restated*.

III. FULL YEAR 2013 OBJECTIVES MAINTAINED

  • Group revenue growing 11% to 16% to between €9.1 and €9.5 billion
  • Subsea revenue growing to between €4.3 and 4.6 billion, with operating margin around 15%
  • Onshore/Offshore revenue growing to between €4.7 and €5.1 billion, with operating margin between 6% and 7%

1 Operating income from recurring activities divided by revenue.

2 Based on the year-to-date average exchange rates.

3 Operating income from recurring activities before depreciation and amortization.

4 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 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.
