Technip Energies Financial Results for the First Nine Months of 2024
TECHNIP ENERGIES 9M 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Strong 9M performance and substantial EPS growth; upgrading full year guidance
Paris, Thursday, October 31, 2024. Technip Energies (the “ Company ”), a leading Engineering & Technology company for the energy transition, today announces its unaudited financial results for the first nine months of 2024.
Arnaud Pieton, Chief Executive Officer of Technip Energies, commented:
“I am delighted to report a highly robust performance by Technip Energies (T.EN) in the first nine months of 2024, evidenced by year-over-year revenue growth of 13%, sustained profitability, and substantial growth in net income. These results demonstrate the strength of our business model and execution, and the impressive dedication of our teams across the globe. As a result, we are raising full year revenue guidance .”
“Our order intake year-to-date is in line with revenue, and we are very confident that orders will exceed revenue on a full-year basis. Our confidence is bolstered by our recent selection for the delivery of large modules for a major offshore project in the Americas. We have also recently secured an important award for Rely, our joint venture for green hydrogen and Power-to-X, to provide services for one of the world's largest green ammonia plants for AM Green in India, and, we celebrated a technology first with an award for our proprietary low-emission cracking ethylene furnace for CPChem in the US.”
“In addition, we secured our position on notable projects that will reinforce and diversify our backlog in 2025 and beyond. This includes our selection by Lake Charles LNG for a major export terminal in the US, as well a front-end engineering design (FEED) award on Rovuma LNG in Mozambique - both projects underscore our continued leadership in modularized LNG trains.”
“Our strategic focus provides for sustained growth and success in promising new industries including blue molecules and carbon capture. In the third quarter, bp awarded T.EN a FEED for its H2Teesside project, which is expected to be one of the UK's largest blue hydrogen production facilities. This reinforces our position in the UK's first decarbonized industrial cluster, where we have also been selected for the NZT Power carbon-capture project, pending final investment decision. These awards are establishing T.EN's early leadership in growth markets.”
“With the completion of our share buyback program and planned cancellation of treasury shares, T.EN will have returned more than €170 million in cash to shareholders during 2024 through dividends and buybacks - roughly equivalent to 4.5% of our market capitalization - a clear and tangible sign of our commitment to shareholder returns.”
“Finally, we are looking forward to engaging with our investor community at our Capital Markets Day on November 21, 2024 and sharing more about our vision for T.EN's bright future.”

Business highlights
Project Delivery – adjusted IFRS
9M 2024 Adjusted revenue increased by 17% year-over-year to €3,495.5 million due to a growing contribution from Qatar NFS and Qatar NFE, as well as higher activity in offshore, partially offset by reduced activity in downstream projects in completion phases.
9M 2024 Adjusted recurring EBITDA increased by 11% to €291.7 million and 9M 2024 Adjusted recurring EBIT increased by 11% year-over-year to €258.3 million.
9M 2024 Adjusted recurring EBITDA / EBIT margin decreased year-over-year by 50 bps / 40 bps to 8.3% / 7.4%, reflecting a re-balancing of the portfolio and growing contributions from earlier phase projects where less margin is recognized. Project execution remains strong across the portfolio.

Technology, Products & Services (TPS) – adjusted IFRS
9M 2024 Adjusted revenue increased year-over-year by 3% to €1,475.3 million, resulting from growth in renewable fuels work and decarbonization services, as well as PMC activities, and other studies and services work across energy and energy derivatives markets. Proprietary equipment volumes, notably for ethylene projects, were broadly sustained at a high level.
9M 2024 Adjusted recurring EBITDA increased year-over-year by 5% to 188.2 million and Adjusted recurring EBIT increased year-over-year by 1% to €139.2 million.
9M 2024 Adjusted recurring EBITDA margin increased by 20 bps to 12.8% benefiting from a favorable mix. Conversely, Adjusted recurring EBIT margin decreased year-over-year by 30 bps to 9.4% due to increased depreciation and amortization expense associated with higher capital investment and growth in services, including the impact of IFRS 16, as well as the impact of higher sales and tendering costs, strategic development costs, and higher spend on research & development.

Corporate and other items
Corporate costs, excluding non-recurring items, were €40.8 million for the first nine months of 2024.
Non-recurring expense amounted to €16.4 million and includes costs incurred relating the set up of new business ventures.
Net financial income of €88.9 million benefited from interest income generated from cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by interest expenses associated with the senior unsecured notes and the mark-to-market valuation impact of investments in traded securities.
Effective tax rate on an adjusted IFRS basis was 30.3% for the first nine months of 2024. This is slightly above the prior 2024 guidance range of 26% - 30%. This is due to the mix effect of reduced earnings from lower tax rate jurisdictions and more earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions. As a result of this, and the potential impact of the French surtax, FY 2024 tax rate guidance has increased to 29% - 33% (previously 26% - 30%).
Depreciation and amortization expense was €82.6 million, of which €52.7 million is related to IFRS 16.
Adjusted net cash at September 30, 2024 was €2.7 billion, which compares to €2.8 billion at December 31, 2023.
Adjusted free cash flow was €191.6 million for the first nine months of 2024. Adjusted free cash flow, excluding the working capital and provisions variance of €168.7 million, was €360.3 million benefiting from strong operational performance and consistently high conversion from Adjusted recurring EBIT at 101%. Free cash flow is stated after capital expenditures of €55.8 million. Adjusted operating cash flow was €247.4 million.
Share buyback
Completion of the share buyback program. On September 30, 2024, the Company announced the completion of it €100 million share buyback program. Between March 5, 2024 and September 27, 2024 a total number of 4,580,640 shares (representing 2.52% of the share capital of the Company) were bought back.
The shares acquired under the share buyback program will be used to 1) reduce the Company's share capital by cancelling treasury shares and 2) to meet the Company's obligations under equity incentive plans.
Liquidity
Adjusted liquidity of €4.2 billion at September 30, 2024 comprised of €3.5 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.
