Regulatory News:
TechnipFMC plc (NYSE: FTI) (Paris: FTI) today announced a
preliminary financial update in advance of the Company’s fourth
quarter 2019 earnings release scheduled for Wednesday, February 26,
2020.
The Company anticipates segment results for the full year 2019
to be as follows:
- Total Company revenues approaching the guidance mid-point of
$13.5 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA margin1 for all segments to meet or exceed
guidance of at least 11.5% for Subsea, 16.5% for Onshore/Offshore,
and 10% for Surface Technologies
- Corporate expense, net1, in-line with guidance of $210 – 215
million, excluding impact of foreign currency fluctuations
The Company expects approximately $2.4 billion of non-cash asset
impairment charges to impact results in the fourth quarter.

Primary driver Reduced marketcapitalization Change in
NorthAmerican outlook
As part of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, the
Company’s market capitalization was compared to our estimate of
fair value for each reporting segment. TechnipFMC’s market
capitalization on its testing date had declined significantly when
compared to the prior-year’s assessment, driven in part by greater
geopolitical uncertainty and lower commodity prices. As a result,
our estimate of business fair value could not be supported by the
market capitalization on the testing date.
In Subsea, the Company expects to record a goodwill impairment
charge of approximately $1.3 billion due to the decline in the
Company’s market capitalization. The charge does not reflect a
change in our outlook for 2020 or the long term.
In Surface Technologies, the Company expects to record a
goodwill impairment charge of approximately $0.7 billion. This
charge reflects a change in our outlook for the North American
market given the challenging near-term environment and reductions
to our regional activities focused on improving the economic
returns of our business.
In Onshore/Offshore, the Company will not incur a goodwill
impairment. An improved business outlook, as evidenced by
significant growth in the Company’s LNG-related backlog, supports
the current level of goodwill attributable to the segment.
Additionally, the Company expects to record other asset
impairment charges totaling approximately $0.4 billion. Most of
these charges will be incurred in the Subsea segment, driven by
continued rationalization of our global footprint as we benefit
from the market’s accelerated adoption of our integrated offering.
The remaining charges will be recorded in Surface Technologies and
relate to our North American operations.
Also in the quarter, the Company expects to record approximately
$50 million of pre-tax charges and credits related to the Company’s
separation, restructuring, and other activities.
These preliminary financial results are subject to completion of
the Company's customary annual closing and financial statement
audit procedures.
1Our guidance measures of adjusted EBITDA margin (excluding
amortization related impact of purchase price accounting, and other
charges) and corporate expense, net (excluding the impact of
foreign currency fluctuations), are both non-GAAP measures for
which we are unable to provide a reconciliation to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking
basis without unreasonable effort, as further described in our
press release of October 23, 2019.
