Technip Energies First Half 2022 Financial Results | Business Wire

2022-07-29 20:34:07 By : Mr. Han Z

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE )--Regulatory News:

Technip Energies (Paris:TE) (the “Company”), a leading Engineering & Technology company for the energy transition, today announces its unaudited financial results for the first half 2022.

Arnaud Pieton, Chief Executive Officer of Technip Energies, commented:

“Our teams’ resolute focus on project execution as well as effective customer and supply chain engagement, in the face of persistent external challenges, continues to yield strong results. This is best evidenced in the quarter by Coral FLNG achieving first gas in Mozambique, a delivery milestone that was in line with the original, pre-pandemic schedule. First half revenue growth was consistent with our full year financial framework and we expect our activity outside of Russia to demonstrate further growth in the second half. Strong execution of our quality backlog is driving profitability above our original guidance, leading to an increase in our full year margin outlook.”

“Regarding Arctic LNG 2 in Russia, in line with the applicable sanctions, we continue to implement an orderly exit from the project. We have suspended the vast majority of the work, and the exit process will likely take several more months due to the contract terms and the inherent size of the project. As previously stated, we do not expect any negative net financial exposure due to our contractual rights and the balance sheet position of the project.”

“In the second quarter, we were awarded key carbon capture projects, including the CCS facilities at Hafslund Oslo Celsio, the world’s largest full-scale waste-to-energy plant with CO2 capture. These awards demonstrate our leadership and the strength of our core expertise and technology approach in a market with considerable medium-to-long-term growth prospects.”

“The momentum in carbon capture also reflects a maturing of our broader energy transition pipeline. This conversion trend is confirmed by recent awards in the renewable fuels and clean hydrogen domains, which have generated more than €500 million of order intake in the first half. We are confident that award momentum will continue and we expect to reach around €1 billion of energy transition orders, excluding LNG, by the end of 2022. Furthermore, many of these awards will add to our backlog in Technology, Products & Services, thereby bolstering the medium-term growth outlook for our highest margin segment.”

“Energy market fundamentals, notably for natural gas, LNG, and renewables remain robust, supporting our strategic offering and medium-term order outlook. Despite ongoing recessionary fears, a significant increase in energy infrastructure investment will be required to satisfy demand and meet energy independence goals. The transition to a low carbon energy system is requiring innovation, technology, and technical expertise, opening a new golden age for engineering, and Technip Energies will continue to play a leading role.”

Order Intake, Backlog and Backlog Scheduling

Adjusted order intake for H1 2022 of €1,608.5 million, equivalent to a book-to-bill of 0.5. Orders in the second quarter included a large EPC contract by Hafslund Oslo Celsio for a world-first carbon capture and storage project at a waste-to-energy plant in Norway, a contract for carbon capture & storage expansion at ExxonMobil’s LaBarge facility in the USA, a pre-FID contract for project design and delivery for Texas LNG in the USA as well as other studies, services contracts and smaller projects. The first quarter included a significant EPCC contract by PETRONAS Chemicals Fertilizer Kedah for a new melamine plant with minimized CO2 footprint, and a FEED for Equinor’ floating offshore wind Firefly project in South Korea. Book-to-bill on a trailing 12 month basis is 0.5.

During H1 2022, approximately €2.0 billion relating to Arctic LNG 2 was removed from total company adjusted backlog, which results from sanctioned work that has been suspended, and is in line with our ongoing orderly exit discussions. This was a significant factor in adjusted backlog decreasing by 23% year-over-year to €13,439.8 million.

Reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS financial measures are provided in Appendix 6.0 and 7.0.

Adjusted Backlog at June 30, 2022, benefited from a foreign exchange impact of €600.0 million.

Adjusted Backlog at June 30, 2022 reflects the removal of €1,962.4 million relating to Arctic LNG 2. €846.6 million associated to Arctic LNG 2 remained in backlog at June 30, 2022.

Adjusted backlog excluding the proportion related to Arctic LNG 2 amounted to €12,593.2 million as of June 30, 2022. The table below provides estimated backlog scheduling as of June 30, 2022.

Financial information is presented under Adjusted IFRS (see Appendix 8.0 for complete definition).

H1 2022 Adjusted Revenue was stable year-over-year at €2.6 billion. Revenues included significantly lower activity on Arctic LNG 2, which contributed €816.6 million of revenue compared to €1,168.0 million in H1 2021. Revenues excluding Arctic LNG 2 increased year-over-year by 24.2% due to the ramp-up of recently awarded LNG and downstream projects.

H1 2022 Adjusted Recurring EBIT was stable at €167.2 million, despite a significantly lower contribution from Arctic LNG 2 of €27.0 million, compared to €40.9 million in H1 2021. Excluding the contribution from Arctic LNG 2, Adjusted Recurring EBIT was €140.2 million, representing year-over-year growth of 10.8%. H1 2022 Adjusted Recurring EBIT margin was in line with the prior year at 6.4% due to solid execution, including a strong contribution from downstream and LNG projects in the latter stages of completion. This was partially offset by earlier stage LNG projects as well as the dilutive impact of Arctic LNG 2. Adjusted Recurring EBIT margin excluding the contribution from Arctic LNG 2 was 7.8%.

Technology, Products & Services (TPS) – Adjusted IFRS

(In € millions, except % and bps)

Financial information is presented under Adjusted IFRS (see Appendix 8.0 for complete definition).

H1 2022 Adjusted Revenue increased year-over-year by 4% to €643.0 million, driven by growth in demand for Process Technology activity including licensing and proprietary equipment (notably for ethylene, and biochemicals, including EPICEROL®) and sustained engineering services and Project Management and Consultancy activity.

H1 2022 Adjusted Recurring EBIT increased year-over-year by 10% to €60.0 million. H1 2022 Adjusted Recurring EBIT margin increased year-over-year by 50 basis points to 9.3%, benefiting from Process Technology licensing and proprietary equipment activity (notably in Sustainable Chemistry) and higher activity levels for advisory services performed by Genesis. This growth was achieved despite higher selling and tendering activity in growth markets.
