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

Technip Energies (the “Company”) (Paris:TE) (ISIN:NL0014559478), a leading Engineering & Technology company for the Energy Transition, today announces its unaudited financial results for the first nine months of 2021.

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, on 9M 2021 results and FY 2021 outlook:

“Third quarter revenues confirm a strong year-to-date trajectory, where, despite the ongoing logistical and pandemic-related challenges, we continued to reach notable milestones, including first module deliveries on Arctic LNG2. Overall, we achieved double-digit revenue growth over the prior year, while delivering resilient margins and robust free cash flows”.

“Recent volatility in global commodity markets highlights the need for continued investment in the cleanest traditional fuels, while alternative energy sources are being developed and scaled. Orders in the third quarter consisted mostly of services and studies, notably in the decarbonization domain. Furthermore, we observe growing customer confidence to sanction projects, which should drive continued momentum in 2022”.

“Technip Energies is a trusted partner for technology development, scale-up and integration. We collaborate with our clients to deliver decarbonization and help achieve their net-zero goals. In the third quarter we established several strategic partnerships to develop intellectual property for low-carbon solutions and to drive Energy Transition in key regions for the company. These will deliver business opportunities in the coming years.”

“Recent customer engagement confirms that our four-pillar strategy - consisting of LNG, decarbonization, sustainable chemistry and carbon-free energy solutions - is very well aligned with current and future energy market trends. We believe that our technical differentiation and front-end engagement strategy will allow us to selectively capture those opportunities that will consistently deliver strong financial results to our shareholders in the medium-to-long term.”

Operational and financial review

Backlog, Order Intake and Backlog Scheduling

Adjusted Order Intake for 9M 2021 of €8,404.1 million (Q3 2021: €540.6 million), equating to a book-to-bill of 1.7. Orders in the third quarter consisted mostly of services, studies and smaller projects, including a PEM-based hydrogen project for NTPC. First half orders benefited from a large petrochemical contract with Indian Oil Corporation and two contracts for Neste for development of its Rotterdam Renewables Production Platform in the second quarter, as well as the major award for the Qatar North Field Expansion in the first quarter. Trailing 12-months book-to-bill was 1.7.

Adjusted backlog increased 41% year-on-year to €16,464.2 million, equivalent to 2.7x 2020 Adjusted Revenue.

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

Adjusted Backlog at 9M 2021 benefited from a foreign exchange impact of €254.9 million.

Adjusted Statement of Income

Business highlights

Projects Delivery – Adjusted IFRS

Financial information is presented under adjusted IFRS framework, which records Technip Energies’ proportionate share of equity affiliates and restates the share related to non-controlling interests (see Appendix 9), and excludes restructuring expenses, merger and integration costs, and litigation costs.

9M 2021 Adjusted Revenue increased year-on-year by 11% to €4.0 billion. This growth was achieved despite the challenging backdrop related to the pandemic, which included restrictions in key areas of operation, as well as constraints around logistics. The continued activity increase on Arctic LNG 2, combined with the ramp-up of recently awarded LNG projects, more than offset lower contributions from maturing downstream and petrochemical projects in the Americas, Middle East and India.

9M 2021 Adjusted Recurring EBIT increased year-on-year by 9% to €254.7 million. Adjusted Recurring EBIT margin slightly declined by 10 basis points to 6.4% largely due to growth in revenues from major projects in an early stage and corporate costs that have been more fully allocated to the operating segment. This was partially offset by projects in completion phase in the Middle East and Europe and a lower indirect cost base overall. For 2021, direct expenses relating to COVID-19 were absorbed within Adjusted Recurring EBIT (in 2020 COVID-19 expenses were excluded from Adjusted Recurring EBIT).

APPENDIX 9.0: Definition of Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

Certain parts of this Press Release contain the following non-IFRS financial measures: Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Recurring EBIT, Adjusted Recurring EBITDA, Adjusted net (debt) cash, Adjusted Order Backlog, and Adjusted Order Intake, which are not recognized as measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS and which the Company considers to be APMs. [APMs should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the equivalent measures as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or liquidity].

Each of the APMs is defined below:

• Adjusted Revenue: Adjusted Revenue represents the revenue recorded under IFRS as adjusted according to the method described below. For the periods presented in this Press Release, the Company's proportionate share of joint venture revenue from the following projects was included: the revenue from ENI CORAL FLNG, Yamal LNG and NFE is included at 50%,the revenue from BAPCO Sitra Refinery is included at 36%, the revenue from the in-Russia construction and supervision scope of Arctic LNG 2 is included at 33.3%, the revenue from the joint-venture Rovuma is included at 33.3%, the revenue from Nova Energies is included at 50%. The Company believes that presenting the proportionate share of its joint venture revenue in construction projects carried out in joint arrangements enables management and investors to better evaluate the performance of the Company's core business period-over-period by assisting them in more accurately understanding the activities actually performed by the Company on these projects.
• Adjusted Recurring EBIT: Adjusted Recurring EBIT represents the profit before financial expense, net, and income taxes recorded under IFRS as adjusted to reflect line-by-line for their respective share incorporated construction project entities that are not fully owned by the Company (applying to the method described above under Adjusted Revenue) and restated for the following items that are considered as non-recurring: (i) restructuring expenses, (ii) separation costs associated with the Spin-off transaction, and (iii) significant litigation costs that have arisen outside of the course of business. The Company believes that the exclusion of such expenses or profits from these financial measures enables investors and management to more effectively evaluate the Company's operations and consolidated results of operations period-over-period, and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked to both investors and management by the excluded items.
• Adjusted Recurring EBITDA: Adjusted Recurring EBITDA corresponds to the Adjusted Recurring EBIT as described above after deduction of depreciation and amortization expenses and as adjusted to reflect for their respective share construction project entities that are not fully owned by the Company.
• Adjusted net (debt) cash: Adjusted net (debt) cash reflects cash and cash equivalents, net of debt (including short-term debt and loans due to/due from the TechnipFMC Group), as adjusted according to the method described above under Adjusted Revenue. Management uses this APM to evaluate the Company's capital structure and financial leverage. The Company believes Adjusted net debt (if debtor), or Adjusted net cash (if creditor), is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding the Company's financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in its capital structure.
• Adjusted Order Backlog: Order backlog is calculated as the estimated sales value of unfilled, confirmed customer orders at the relevant reporting date. Adjusted Order Backlog takes into account the Company's proportionate share of order backlog related to equity affiliates (ENI Coral FLNG, BAPCO Sitra Refinery, Arctic LNG 2 for the In-Russia construction and supervision scope, the joint-venture Rovuma, two affiliates of the NFE joint-venture, and the Nova Energies joint-venture) and restates the share of order backlog related to the Company’s non-controlling interest in Yamal LNG. The Company believes that the Adjusted Order Backlog enables management and investors to evaluate the level of the Company's core business forthcoming activities by including its proportionate share in the estimated sales coming from construction projects in joint arrangements.
• Adjusted Order Intake: Order intake corresponds to signed contracts which have come into force during the reporting period. Adjusted Order Intake adds the proportionate share of orders signed related to equity affiliates (ENI Coral FLNG, BAPCO Sitra Refinery, Arctic LNG 2 for the In-Russia construction and supervision scope, the joint-venture Rovuma, two affiliates of the NFE joint-venture, and the Nova Energies joint-venture) and restates the share of order intake attributable to the non-controlling interests in Yamal LNG. This financial measure is closely connected with the Adjusted Order Backlog in the evaluation of the level of the Company's forthcoming activities by presenting its proportionate share of contracts which came into force during the period and that will be performed by the Company.
