Key factors supporting T.EN’s financial guidance, framework and outlook

Strong market growth and business diversification 

Energy (e.g. LNG) and energy derivatives (e.g. ethylene) markets will continue to grow at long-term historical rates (i.e. GDP+) through to 2040 supported by structural megatrends – rising population, urbanization and economic growth – and the need to bridge economic prosperity and sustainability. At the same time, decarbonization (e.g. carbon capture, clean hydrogen, sustainable fuels) and circularity markets will mature, scale and accelerate with strong double digit compound annual growth through to 2040. T.EN’s core competences in process engineering, technology integration and scale-up, and project execution are also attracting new customer profiles beyond the traditional energy domain, notably in hard-to-abate sectors including power, aviation, and cement. In aggregate, T.EN’s addressable market is inexorably expanding in the near-to-medium term and accelerating in the long-term.    

Attractive commercial opportunity set 

T.EN’s commercial pipeline of more than €75 billion through to the end of 2026 is well balanced by market and geography and further supports business expansion and diversification. About two thirds of the pipeline is within established energy and energy derivatives markets, with one-third dedicated to decarbonization markets. The opportunity set for decarbonization has grown substantially since 2021, and while these markets are maturing at different paces and in different geographies, it is significant that T.EN now has a €20 billion-plus pipeline across carbon capture, blue molecules, green molecules, and sustainable aviation fuel – with each market representing multi-billion-euro opportunities. As a decarbonization leader, T.EN brings the flexibility and selectivity to capitalize on the richness of this pipeline and thrive in these markets.  

Complementary growth engines power 2028 financial framework: uncapping Project Delivery, sustaining TPS momentum  

Project Delivery: this segment provides an extremely robust baseload of activity and cash flows derived from a de-risked and dynamic portfolio. Today, T.EN uncaps the growth opportunity with a 2028 Project Delivery revenue target of more than €6 billion, delivering controlled growth in an expanding market while staying true to its selectivity principles and discipline. The quality of T.EN’s backlog and opportunity set combined with its strong execution and efficiency gains support further expansion of its best-in-class EBITDA margin to ~8.5%.  

TPS: for its short-cycle, margin-accretive segment, T.EN is strengthening its capabilities, upskilling and growing its workforce, and innovating to expand its technology and product offerings. TPS revenue of more than €2.6bn in 2028 will have an accretive mix drawing on higher Technology & Product content, driving EBITDA margins to ~14.5%. 

Capital allocation 

The strength of the Company’s balance sheet, with more than €1 billion of available firepower (adjusted for project-associated cash), coupled with sustainable free cash flow generation, underpins T.EN’s commitment to a disciplined and effective capital allocation that prioritizes shareholder returns and accretive investments while maintaining its investment grade balance sheet. 

The Company’s priorities are: 

1) Dividends: to payout a minimum range of 25% – 35% of free cash flow, excluding working capital, with growth aligned to its earnings trajectory; and  

2) Value accretive investments: to allocate free cash flowto enhance differentiation and capture more value through TPS-focused M&A and investment in adjacent business models. For example, Reju – a Technip Energies company focused on materials regeneration – has the potential to generate annual revenue of €2 billion-plus within 10 years. 

Subject to investment opportunities and market conditions, supplemental shareholder returns will be considered, including share buybacks. 

* Free cash flow is stated excluding working capital and post IFRS 16 lease repayment. 

Technip Energies is a global technology and engineering powerhouse. With leadership positions in LNG, hydrogen, ethylene, sustainable chemistry, and CO2 management, we are contributing to the development of critical markets such as energy, energy derivatives, decarbonization, and circularity. Our complementary business segments, Technology, Products and Services (TPS) and Project Delivery, turn innovation into scalable and industrial reality. 

Through collaboration and excellence in execution, our 17,000+ employees across 34 countries are fully committed to bridging prosperity with sustainability for a world designed to last.
