CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of TechnipFMC plc (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events, market growth, and recovery, growth of our New Energy business and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows, or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook”, and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.
All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements include those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including unpredictable trends in the demand for and price of oil and natural gas; competition and unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in our industry, including ongoing industry consolidation; our inability to develop, implement, and protect new technologies and services and intellectual property related thereto, including new technologies and services for our New Energy business; the cumulative loss of major contracts, customers or alliances and unfavorable credit and commercial terms of certain contracts; disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic, and social conditions of the countries in which we conduct business; the refusal of DTC to act as depository and clearing agency for our shares; the impact of our existing and future indebtedness and the restrictions on our operations by terms of the agreements governing our existing indebtedness; the risks caused by our acquisition and divestiture activities; additional costs or risks from increasing scrutiny and expectations regarding ESG matters; uncertainties related to our investments in New Energy business; the risks caused by fixed-price contracts; our failure to timely deliver our backlog; our reliance on subcontractors, suppliers, and our joint venture partners; a failure or breach of our IT infrastructure or that of our subcontractors, suppliers or joint venture partners, including as a result of cyber-attacks; risks of pirates and maritime conflicts endangering our maritime employees and assets; any delays and cost overruns of new capital asset construction projects for vessels and manufacturing facilities; potential liabilities inherent in the industries in which we operate or have operated; our failure to comply with existing and future laws and regulations, including those related to environmental protection, climate change, health and safety, labor and employment, import/export controls, currency exchange, bribery and corruption, taxation, privacy, data protection and data security; the additional restrictions on dividend payouts or share repurchases as an English public limited company; uninsured claims and litigation against us; tax laws, treaties and regulations and any unfavorable findings by relevant tax authorities; potential departure of our key managers and employees; adverse seasonal, weather, and other climatic conditions; unfavorable currency exchange rates; risk in connection with our defined benefit pension plan commitments; and our inability to obtain sufficient bonding capacity for certain contracts. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

TECHNIPFMC PLC AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of TechnipFMC plc and its consolidated subsidiaries (“TechnipFMC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Issued Accounting Standards under GAAP
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The new guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) regularly provided to (or easily computed from information regularly provided to) the chief operating decision maker and (2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The new standard also allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are used to assess performance and allocate resources. We expect to adopt the new disclosures as required for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in 2025 for interim periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires significant additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be applied prospectively (with retrospective application permitted) and is effective in the 2025 annual period and in 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the related disclosures.
On March 6, 2024, the SEC issued their final rule “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The final rule includes disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management as well as the board and management’s governance of such risks. In addition, the rule includes requirements to disclose the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in the audited financial statements. On April 4, 2024, the SEC stayed its climate disclosure rule to “facilitate the orderly judicial resolution” of pending legal challenges. We are currently evaluating the impact of this rule on our disclosures.
We assessed ASUs and disclosure requirements not listed above and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3. DISPOSAL OF MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS BUSINESS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Disposal of Measurement Solutions business
In November 2023, TechnipFMC announced an agreement to sell the Company’s Measurement Solutions business (the “MSB”) for $205 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments at the closing of the transaction. As part of the Surface Technologies segment, MSB encompasses terminal management solutions and metering products and systems and includes engineering and manufacturing locations in North America and Europe.
We recorded transaction costs associated with the sale of $5.2 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. These transaction costs are included within restructuring, impairment, and other charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income.
On March 11, 2024, we completed the sale of equity interests and assets of MSB for cash proceeds of $186.1 million and recognized a gain on disposal of $75.2 million. The purchase consideration was adjusted for various working capital balances and assumed liabilities as of the transaction closing date.
FMC Technologies (UK) Pension Plan Buy-In
In February 2024, one of the U.K. pension plans entered into a buy-in contract for its pensioners. Under the buy-in contract terms, the responsibility to pay pension benefits still rests with the plan and the obligation is still recorded by the Company.
NOTE 4. REVENUE
The majority of our revenue is from long-term contracts associated with designing and manufacturing products and systems and providing services to customers involved in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas.
Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenues are disaggregated by geographic location and contract types.

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, costs, and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any expected contract losses are recorded in the period in which they become probable.
Contract Assets - Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are generally classified as current.
Contract Liabilities - We sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.

In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. Any subsequent revenue we recognize increases the contract asset balance. Revenue recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $144.1 million and $90.3 million, respectively, and $992.3 million and $592.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods had a favorable and unfavorable impact of $1.2 million and $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 we had a favorable and unfavorable impact of $18.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no projects with individually material impacts. Certain projects were materially and favorably impacted for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, by $90.7 million, as a result of improved performance in the delivery and was offset by individually immaterial projects with net negative impacts of $72.7 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no projects with individually material impacts.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (or “order backlog”) represent the transaction price for products and services for which we have a material right, but work has not been performed. The transaction price of the order backlog includes the base transaction price, variable consideration, and changes in transaction price. The order backlog table does not include contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The transaction price of order backlog related to unfilled, confirmed customer orders is estimated at each reporting date. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to order backlog was $14.7 billion. TechnipFMC expects to recognize revenue on approximately 12.1 percent of the order backlog through 2024 and 87.9 percent thereafter.

NOTE 5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Management’s determination of our reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and the differences in the products and services we provide, which corresponds to the manner in which our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker, reviews and evaluates operating performance and allocates resources. We operate under two reporting segments, Subsea and Surface Technologies:
•Subsea - designs and manufactures products and systems, performs engineering, procurement, and project management, and provides services used by oil and gas companies involved in offshore exploration and production of oil and natural gas
13
•Surface Technologies - designs and manufactures products and systems and provides services used by oil and gas companies involved in land and shallow water exploration and production of oil and natural gas; designs, manufactures, and supplies technologically advanced high-pressure valves and fittings for oilfield service companies; and also provides flowback and well testing services
Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. Income (loss) from equity method investments is included in segment operating profit. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), net interest income (expense) associated with corporate debt facilities, income taxes, and the non-recurring legal settlement charge.

NOTE 7. RECEIVABLES
We manage our receivables portfolios using published default risk as a key credit quality indicator for our loans and receivables. Our loans receivables and other are related to sales of long-lived assets or businesses, loans to related parties for capital expenditure purposes, or security deposits for lease arrangements.
We manage our held-to-maturity debt securities using published credit ratings as a key credit quality indicator as our held-to-maturity debt securities consist of government bonds.
The table below summarizes the amortized cost basis of financial assets by years of origination and credit quality.

Credit Losses
For contract assets and trade receivables, we have elected to calculate an expected credit loss based on loss rates from historical data. We develop loss-rate statistics on the basis of the amount written-off over the life of the financial assets and contract assets and adjust these historical credit loss trends for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment to determine lifetime expected losses.
For loans receivables and other and held-to-maturity debt securities at amortized cost, we evaluate whether these securities are considered to have low credit risk at the reporting date using available, reasonable, and supportable information.

Credit Facilities and Debt
Revolving Credit Facility - On February 16, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement, which provided for a $1.0 billion three-year senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility, including a $450.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). We incurred $34.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
On April 24, 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment (the “Amendment No. 5”) to the Revolving Credit Facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which increased the commitments available to the Company to $1.25 billion and extended the term to five years from the date of the Amendment No. 5. The Credit Agreement also provides for a $250.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. We incurred $16.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Amendment No. 5. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.
Availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement is reduced by the outstanding letters of credit issued against the facility. As of September 30, 2024, there were no letters of credit outstanding, and our availability under the Credit Agreement was $1.25 billion.
18
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the following rates, plus an applicable margin, depending on currency:
•U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”).
•British pound-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the British pound interbank offered rate.
•Euro-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the Euro interbank offered rate.
After the recent upgrade to Baa3/BBB- by two out of three rating agencies, the rate for Term Benchmark (as defined in the Credit Agreement) loans is 1.50 percent and the rate for base rate loans is 0.50 percent effective from June 28, 2024. The Credit Agreement is subject to customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions, and financial covenants.
Letter of Credit Facility - On April 24, 2023, the Company entered into a new $500 million five-year senior secured performance letters of credit facility (the “Performance LC Credit Agreement”). The commitments under the Performance LC Credit Agreement may be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent. The Performance LC Credit Agreement permits the Company and its subsidiaries to have access to performance letters of credit denominated in a variety of currencies to support the contracting activities with counterparties that require or request a performance or similar guarantee. It contains substantially the same customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions, and financial covenants as the Credit Agreement and benefits from the same guarantees and security as the Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis.
On March 7, 2024, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) upgraded TechnipFMC to investment grade, raising its rating to ‘BBB-’ from ‘BB+’ for both the issuer credit as well as the issue-level ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured notes. On June 27, 2024, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) assigned a first-time investment grade long-term issuer default rating of “BBB-” for TechnipFMC. As a result of the S&P and Fitch investment grade ratings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, the Investment Grade Debt Rating (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and the Performance LC Credit Agreement was released and certain negative covenants no longer apply to the Company.
2021 Notes - On January 29, 2021, we issued $1.0 billion of 6.50 25.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with issuance of the 2021 Notes. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes, which approximates the effective interest method. The outstanding balance of the 2021 Notes as of September 30, 2024 is $202.9 million.
As of September 30, 2024, TechnipFMC was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Bank borrowings - Include term loans issued in connection with financing for certain of our vessels and amounts outstanding under our foreign committed credit lines.
Foreign committed credit - We have committed credit lines at many of our international subsidiaries for immaterial amounts. We utilize these facilities for asset financing and to provide a more efficient daily source of liquidity. The effective interest rates depend upon the local national market.

NOTE 13. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On July 26, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The Company intends to pay dividends on a quarterly basis, and this dividend represents $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. The cash dividend paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $21.5 million and $64.7 million, respectively.
As an English public limited company, we are required under U.K. law to have available “distributable reserves” to conduct share repurchases or pay dividends to shareholders. Distributable reserves are a statutory requirement and are not linked to a GAAP reported amount (e.g., retained earnings). The declaration and payment of dividends require the authorization of our Board of Directors, provided that such dividends on issued share capital may be paid only out of our “distributable reserves” on our statutory balance sheet. Therefore, we are not permitted to pay dividends out of share capital, which includes share premium.
In July 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under our share repurchase program. On July 26, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchase of up to $400.0 million, and the Company’s total share repurchase authorization was increased to $800.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under our share repurchase program. Pursuant to this share repurchase program, we repurchased $80.0 million and $330.1 million, respectively, of ordinary shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Based upon the remaining repurchase authority of $164.6 million and the closing stock price as of September 30, 2024, approximately 6.3 million ordinary shares could be subject to repurchase. Since the initial share repurchase authorization in July 2022, we have purchased an aggregate amount of $635.4 million of ordinary shares through September 30, 2024. All repurchased shares were immediately cancelled.

NOTE 14. SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM OBLIGATIONS
We facilitate a supply chain finance program (“SCF”) that is administered by a third-party financial institution, which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the SCF bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their outstanding receivable(s) directly with the SCF bank. We are not a party to those agreements, and the terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF. We agree to pay the SCF bank based on the original invoice amounts and maturity dates as consistent with our accounts payables.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within accounts payable, trade in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF were $103.5 million and $132.9 million, respectively.
NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Contingent liabilities associated with guarantees - In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, and other guarantees with financial institutions for the benefit of our customers, vendors, and other parties. The majority of these financial instruments expire within five years . Management does not expect any of these financial instruments to result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees made by our consolidated subsidiaries consisted of the following:

Financial guarantees(a) | $ | $ | |||||||||
Performance guarantees(b) | |||||||||||
| Maximum potential undiscounted payments | $ | $ | |||||||||
(a)Financial guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying agreement that is related to an asset, a liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party. These tend to be drawn down only if there is a failure to fulfill our financial obligations.
(b)Performance guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under a non-financial obligating agreement. Events that trigger payment are performance-related, such as failure to ship a product or provide a service.
We believe the ultimate resolution of our known contingencies will not materially adversely affect our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Contingent liabilities associated with legal and tax matters - We are involved in various pending or potential legal and tax actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. These actions and disputes can involve our agents, suppliers, clients, and venture partners, and can include claims related to payment of fees, service quality, and ownership arrangements, including certain put or call options. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, we believe that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company has resolved an anti-corruption investigation by French authorities (the Parquet National Financier (“PNF”)). On June 22, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Technip UK Limited, along with Technip Energies SAS, a subsidiary of Technip Energies NV, reached a resolution with the PNF of all outstanding matters, including its investigations into historical projects in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Angola. The resolution took the form of a convention judiciaire d'interet public (“CJIP”), which does not involve any admission of liability or guilt.
Under the terms of the CJIP, Technip UK and Technip Energies France will pay a public interest fine of €154.8 million and €54.1 million, respectively, for a total of €208.9 million. Under the companies’ separation agreements, TechnipFMC is responsible for €179.45 million to be paid in installments through July 2024, and Technip Energies is responsible for the remaining €29.45 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded an incremental liability of $126.5 million. After making all scheduled installment payments of €24.7 million, €51.6 million, €51.6 million, and €51.6 million on July 13, 2023, January 15, 2024, April 8, 2024, and July 10, 2024, respectively, we have no further outstanding balance as of September 30, 2024.
TechnipFMC fully cooperated with the PNF and was not required to retain a monitor. The CJIP received final approval by the President of the Tribunal Judiciaire of Paris at a hearing on June 28, 2023.
All obligations to PNF related to the enforcement matters in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Angola have been completed and the Company has been unconditionally released by PNF.
Contingent liabilities associated with liquidated damages - Some of our contracts contain provisions that require us to pay liquidated damages if we are responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which our customers may make claims against us for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of our performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management believes we have appropriately recognized probable liquidated damages as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 reflected effective tax rates of (2.2 ) percent and 17.2 percent, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 14.1 percent and 95.1 percent, respectively, The change in the effective tax rate was largely due to the release of a valuation allowance in the United States with a positive net tax discrete benefit of $60.6 million, the change in geographical profit mix year-over-year and tax adjustments related to the reassessment of prior year tax accruals. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined it was more likely than not the Company would be able to realize the benefit of a portion of the deferred tax assets in the United States, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance. In reaching this determination, the Company considered the growing trend of profitability over the last three years in the United States, as well as expectations regarding the generation of future taxable income and the sources of future taxable income.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.
NOTE 17. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For purposes of mitigating the effect of changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions and recorded assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is to hold derivatives only for the purpose of hedging risks associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business, and not for speculative purposes.
Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values or cash flows of the transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivatives. For derivative instruments that qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative, which does not include the time value component of a forward currency rate, is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, any change in the fair value of those instruments is reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.
We hold the following types of derivative instruments:
Foreign exchange rate forward contracts - The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in future cash flows of anticipated purchase or sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies and recorded assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, we held the following material net positions:

Cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, net of tax, which qualify for hedge accounting, resulted in accumulated other comprehensive gains (losses) of $(7.4 ) million and $19.5 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We expect to transfer an approximate $21.7 million gain from accumulated OCI to earnings during the next 12 months when the anticipated transactions actually occur. All anticipated transactions currently being hedged are expected to occur by the second half of 2027.

Balance Sheet Offsetting - We execute derivative contracts with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits net settlement of the gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities. Each instrument is accounted for individually, and assets and liabilities are not offset. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no collateralized derivative contracts.

Equity securities - The fair value measurement of our traded securities is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets.
Money market and stable value funds - These funds are valued at the net asset value of the shares held at the end of the quarter, which is based on the fair value of the underlying investments using information reported by our investment advisor at quarter-end. These funds include fixed income and other investments measured at fair value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments - We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used. Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated by using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size, and with the same credit rating.
We currently have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position. See Note 17 for further details.
Other fair value disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, debt associated with our bank borrowings, credit facilities, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.
Fair value of debt - We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate debt using observable market data, which results in a Level 2 fair value measurement. The estimated fair value of our private placement notes and senior notes was $693.9 million and $683.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Credit risk - By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments. We mitigate credit risk on
27
derivative contracts by executing contracts only with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits the net settlement of gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities.
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 23, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on December 4, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on November 19, 2024. The ex-dividend date is November 19, 2024.
The Board of Directors also authorized additional share repurchase of up to $1.0 billion. Together with the existing program, the Company’s remaining authorization allows for repurchases up to $1.2 billion, representing more than 10 % of the Company’s outstanding shares as of October 23, 2024.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Overall Outlook - The global economy remains resilient despite prevailing headwinds. Some central banks have lowered interest rates in response to softening inflation, but they remain diligent in their efforts to balance price stability with economic growth. These factors are expected to support sustained growth in energy demand.
Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have further highlighted the need for greater energy security across the globe. As a result, the energy industry has accelerated its efforts to address the essential need for hydrocarbons today to ensure the continuity of affordable energy while also playing an essential role in the energy transition.
The price of oil has been supported by regional geopolitical tensions and more disciplined capital spend spending within the industry, particularly among OPEC+ countries. These nations are prioritizing production levels that foster both economic growth and energy investment, as evident by OPEC maintaining voluntary reductions to existing production into 2025. Additionally, a prolonged period of underinvestment has also contributed to a supply deficit, requiring increased upstream spending and reinforcing a positive long-term outlook for oil and natural gas prices.
We see continued strength ahead, driven by the resiliency and durability of the current market. The demand for energy will continue to grow. However, we believe the market’s evolution will differ from the past, driven by three major trends. First, a shift in capital flows, which we believe will largely be directed to the offshore and Middle East markets. Second, an increased role for new technologies to drive further innovation and market expansion, particularly in the offshore market. And third, an expanded role for subsea services, driven by the needs of growing and aging infrastructure. These trends allow TechnipFMC to leverage our full suite of integrated solutions, differentiated technologies, and the industry’s most comprehensive subsea services offering.
Client discussions remain focused on project activity that extends beyond 2025 as they look to secure capacity for future phases of their offshore developments towards the end of the decade. There is also momentum in new offshore frontiers, which are likely to yield additional inbound well beyond the orders we are discussing today.
While we are confident that conventional resources will remain a large part of the energy mix for an extended period, we are also committed to the energy transition. Here, we believe that offshore will play a meaningful role in the transition to renewable energy resources and reduction of carbon emissions. We are making real progress through our three main pillars of greenhouse gas removal, offshore floating renewables, and hydrogen solutions. We have also been successful in building on our partnerships and alliances to further position ourselves as the leading architect for offshore energy.
Our leadership in subsea processing, technology innovation, and integrated solutions was recognized at the beginning of the year with the award of the Mero 3 HISEP® project, which is the first iEPCI™ (“iEPCI”) contract ever awarded by Petrobras. The significance of this project for the subsea industry cannot be overstated. This will be the first project to use subsea processing to capture CO2 rich dense gases directly from the well stream for injection back into the reservoir, with all of the infrastructure residing on the seafloor.
In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emission intensity, HISEP® technologies will increase production capacity by debottlenecking the gas processing plant that currently resides on the floating production storage and offloading unit (“FPSO”). By moving the gas processing entirely to the seafloor, future FPSO and topside designs can be further simplified, driving significant improvement in project economics. With the award of the Mero 3 HISEP® project, our New Energy business has now achieved more than $1 billion of inbound orders - nearly two years earlier than previously anticipated.
In March, we were selected to deliver the first all-electric subsea iEPCI for carbon capture and storage from the Northern Endurance Partnership (“NEP”). The partnership, which is a joint venture between bp, Equinor, and TotalEnergies, is building CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure for carbon capture projects in the U.K.’s East Coast Cluster. Our all-electric solution will collect and feed the pressurized gas into an aquifer for permanent storage. The NEP project demonstrates our ability to leverage our unique combination of innovative technologies and integrated execution as we continue to further refine our positioning and mature our offering, particularly in carbon transportation and storage.
29
Subsea - Innovative approaches to subsea projects, like our iEPCI solution, have improved project economics through more efficient design and installation of the entire subsea field architecture. Our integrated commercial model, iEPCI, brought together the complementary work scopes of the subsea production system (“SPS”) with the subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (“SURF”), and installation vessels. iEPCI created a new market and helped expand the deepwater opportunity set for our clients and has grown to represent nearly one-third of the addressable subsea market.
As the subsea industry continues to evolve, we are driving simplification, standardization, and industrialization to reduce cycle times and further reduce costs. An example of this is Subsea 2.0®, our pre-engineered configurable product offering. This technology provides simplification of unique project requirements by leveraging a configure-to-order (“CTO”) model that further improves the economics of our customers’ projects while driving greater efficiencies for TechnipFMC.
With CTO, we have designed an architecture, process, culture, and tools that are scalable and, more importantly, are transformational to the future of our company. CTO has allowed us to redefine our sourcing strategy and transform our manufacturing flow, resulting in up to 25 percent lower product cost and a shortened 12-month delivery time for subsea production equipment - savings that are both real and sustainable. This has paved the way for other products to adopt a similar operating model, enabling an enterprise-wide way of working.
Given the significant improvement in project economics, many offshore discoveries can be developed economically well below today’s oil prices. We believe these changes are fundamental and sustainable, as a result of new business models and technology pioneered by our company.
There is also exploration activity occurring in new offshore frontiers. In Suriname, five major discoveries have been made through the successful appraisal of multiple blocks, with confirmed combined recoverable resources of approximately 700 million barrels of oil. In October, TotalEnergies and partners reached a final investment decision for the first oil development in Block 58. In Namibia, there has also been a major discovery with multiple operators beginning their drilling campaigns. We believe additional countries will become producers of deepwater resources during this decade.
Offshore development is likely to remain a significant part of many of our customers’ portfolios. We estimate over 35 MMBD of new oil production will be required by 2040 to meet future energy demand, including approximately 10 MMBD of new deepwater production.
Our Subsea inbound orders grew to $9.7 billion in 2023, an increase of 45 percent versus the prior year. The robust inbound benefited from a record level of iEPCI projects, and when including all other direct awards and Subsea Services, the combination represented more than 70 percent of total segment orders. The strong order activity has continued, with $7.7 billion of orders in the current year increasing backlog to $13.7 billion as of September 30, 2024 - a record level for TechnipFMC. We are well positioned for Subsea inbound to approach $10 billion for the full year, giving us confidence in achieving $30 billion in Subsea orders over the three-year period ending 2025.
Surface Technologies - International markets comprise a significant portion of segment revenue, representing over 60 percent of the total in the first nine months of the year. We continue to benefit from our exposure to the North Sea, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. TechnipFMC’s unique capabilities in these markets, which demand higher specification equipment, global services, and local content, provide a platform for us to extend our leadership positions.
Drilling activity in international markets is less cyclical than in North America, as most activities are undertaken by national oil companies that tend to maintain a longer-term view that exhibits less variability in capital spend. This trend is most evident in the Middle East where we expect to continue benefiting from our exposure to the region, particularly in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, driven by our clients’ continued investment in long-term production growth. The completion of our new, state-of-the-art facility in Saudi Arabia and the qualification of our product portfolio are favorably impacting our company today and represent a differentiated growth opportunity for TechnipFMC.
The shift to renewable energy resources will take time. During this transition, we believe that natural gas will provide a bridge between current conventional energy supply and future renewable energy supply. The transition is expected to drive growth in the surface market, led by large natural gas projects in the Middle East. We also expect
30
North America to play an important role in meeting increased natural gas demand, due in part to sanctions placed upon Russian supply.

Revenue
Revenue increased $291.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Subsea revenue increased by $319.8 million, primarily driven by a 49.6 percent higher backlog as of December 31, 2023, when compared to December 31, 2022, which resulted in increased revenue from higher iEPCI, supply of flexible pipe and installation activities particularly in the United Kingdom, Australia, Angola, and Guyana. Surface Technologies revenue decreased by $28.3 million, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower drilling and completion activity in Europe, North America and the sale of MSB during the three months ended March 31, 2024 by $52.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by $23.9 million of revenue growth from higher equipment delivery across the rest of the world, with the majority of the increase occurring in the Middle East.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to $493.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $366.9 million in the prior year period. Subsea gross profit increased year-over-year by $124.6 million, of which $55.7 million was due to volume increase and $68.9 million due to favorable activity mix. Surface Technologies gross profit decreased year-over-year by $0.6 million, primarily due to lower drilling and completion activity in Europe, North America and the sale of MSB in the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulting in a decrease of $11.7 million, partially offset by $6.9 million of higher profitability from continued growth in the Middle East and an additional $4.2 million increase from other operating locations such as Asia Pacific and Latin America.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.6 million year-over-year, driven by higher employee costs in support of increased business activities.
32
Other Expense, Net
Other income (expense), net, includes gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities, gains and losses on sales of property, plant and equipment, and non-operating gains and losses. The $34.2 million year-over-year decrease in net expense was driven by the decrease in foreign currency loss of $43.3 million, primarily related to the net impact of hedging positions year-over-year. This decrease was partially offset by a net decrease in miscellaneous other net non-operating charges.
Income from Equity Affiliates
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income from equity method affiliates of $8.4 million and $20.6 million, respectively. The year-over-year decline was driven by a decrease in operational activity of our joint ventures.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense of $15.9 million decreased by $10.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the net decrease in outstanding debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 reflected effective tax rates of (2.2) percent and 17.2 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was largely due to the release of a valuation allowance in the United States with a positive net tax discrete benefit of $60.6 million, the change in geographical profit mix year-over-year and tax adjustments related to the reassessment of prior year tax accruals. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined it was more likely than not the Company would be able to realize the benefit of a portion of the deferred tax assets in the United States, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than those of the United Kingdom.

Revenue
Revenue increased by $969.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Subsea revenue increased by $1,057.7 million, driven by conversion of increased backlog, which was 49.6 percent higher as of December 31, 2023, when compared to December 31, 2022, and resulted in increased revenue from higher installation, iEPCI, supply of flexible pipe and services activities particularly in Angola, the United States, Guyana, Australia, Brazil and the United Kingdom. Surface Technologies revenue decreased by $88.2 million, compared to the same period in 2023. The decline was primarily due to lower drilling and completion activity in Europe, North America and the sale of MSB during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which collectively decreased revenues by $139.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by a $51.4 million of revenue growth from higher equipment delivery across the rest of the world, with the majority of the increase occurring in the Middle East.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to $1,336.1 million in 2024 compared to $920.5 million in 2023. Subsea gross profit increased year-over-year by $403.1 million, of which $183.0 million was due to volume increase and $220.1 million due to favorable activity mix. Surface Technologies gross profit decreased by $3.5 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower drilling and completion activity in Europe, North America and the sale of MSB in the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulting in a decrease of $33.6 million, partially offset by $30.1 million of higher profitability from growth and higher operational leverage and efficiency across international markets such as Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $34.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, driven by higher employee costs in support of increased business activities.
34
Other Expense, Net
Other income (expense), net, includes gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities, gains and losses on sales of property, plant and equipment, and non-operating gains and losses. The net decrease in expense of $161.4 million was driven by the $126.5 million non-recurring legal settlement charge recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Foreign currency loss decreased by $67.3 million, due to exposures to certain currencies with limited derivative hedging markets such as Angolan kwanza and the net impact of hedging positions during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These decreases are partially offset by a net increase in miscellaneous other non-operating charges.
Gain on disposal of Measurement Solutions business
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain of $75.2 million from the sale of equity interests and assets of MSB.
Income from Equity Affiliates
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income from equity method affiliates of $12.4 million and $35.9 million, respectively. The year-over-year decline was driven by a decrease in operational activity of our joint ventures.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense of $50.0 million decreased by $25.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a net reduction in outstanding debt and higher interest income.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 reflected effective tax rates of 14.1 percent and 95.1 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was largely due to the release of a valuation allowance in the United States with a positive net tax discrete benefit of $60.6 million, the change in geographical profit mix year-over-year and tax adjustments related to the reassessment of prior year tax accruals. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined it was more likely than not the Company would be able to realize the benefit of a portion of the deferred tax assets in the United States, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.

Subsea revenue increased $319.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, driven by increased backlog in 2023 related to higher energy demand and upstream spending, further aided by our unique commercial offerings. Of the increase in revenue, $89.9 million was from the United Kingdom, $88.0 million from Australia, $78.7 million from Angola and $78.0 million from Guyana, driven by higher iEPCI, supply of flexible pipe and installation activities. The increased revenue in these geographies was modestly offset by a net $26.5 million decrease from the rest of the world, primarily from lower activity as projects reached completion.
Subsea operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by $111.1 million, of which $68.9 million was the result of a favorable activity mix and $55.7 million from higher volume, partially offset by a $13.5 million increase in operating expense related to the higher activity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Most of our cash is managed centrally and flows through bank accounts controlled and maintained by TechnipFMC globally in various jurisdictions to best meet the liquidity needs of our global operations.
Net Debt - Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure reflecting cash and cash equivalents, net of debt. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe net debt is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in our capital structure. Net debt should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash and cash equivalents as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity.

Cash Flows
Operating cash flows - Operating activities provided $382.1 million of cash during nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $8.1 million cash used in operating cash flows during the same period in 2023. The increase of $390.2 million in cash from operating activities was primarily due to increased profitability during nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. It was also due to timing differences on project milestones, payments to vendors for inventory, and fluctuations in derivative assets and liabilities that require cash settlement.
Investing cash flows - Investing activities provided $36.7 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $63.5 million cash used in investing cash flows during the same period in 2023. The increase of $100.2 million in cash from investing activities was primarily due to $186.1 million in proceeds received from the sale of MSB, which was partially offset by a decrease of $69.8 million from proceeds of sale of other assets as compared to the same period in 2023.
Financing cash flows - Financing activities used $522.5 million and $276.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $245.8 million in cash used by financing activities was primarily due to an increase of $180.0 million in share repurchases, an increase in dividends paid of $42.9 million, and an increase of payments related to taxes withheld on share-based compensation of $32.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Debt and Liquidity
We are committed to maintaining a capital structure that provides sufficient cash resources to support future operating and investment plans. We maintain a level of liquidity sufficient to allow us to meet our cash needs in both the short term and long term.
Availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by the outstanding letters of credit issued against the facility. As of September 30, 2024, there were no letters of credit outstanding, and our availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1,250.0 million.
Credit Ratings - Our credit ratings with Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) are BBB- for our long-term unsecured, guaranteed debt (2021 Notes) and BBB- for our 2012 and 2020 long-term unsecured debt (the 2012 and 2020 Private Placement Notes). Our credit rating with Moody’s is Ba1 for our long-term unsecured, guaranteed debt. See Note 12 for further details regarding our debt.
On March 7, 2024, S&P upgraded TechnipFMC to investment grade, raising its rating to ‘BBB-’ from ‘BB+’ for both the issuer credit as well as the issue-level ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured notes. On June 27, 2024, Fitch assigned a first-time investment grade long-term issuer default rating of “BBB-” to TechnipFMC. As a result of the S&P and Fitch investment grade ratings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, the Investment Grade Debt Rating (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and the Performance LC Credit Agreement was released and certain negative covenants no longer apply to the Company.

On February 20, 2024, April 23, 2024 and July 23, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The cash dividends of $0.05 per share were paid on March 28, 2024, June 5, 2024, and September 4, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on March 19, 2024, May 21, 2024, and August 20, 2024, respectively. The cash dividends paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $21.5 million and $64.7 million, respectively. We intend to pay dividends on a quarterly basis, and these dividends represent $0.20 per share on an annualized basis.
On October 23, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on December 4, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on November 19, 2024. The ex-dividend date is November 19, 2024.
On July 26, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase of up to $400.0 million. Together with the then existing program, our total share repurchase authorization was increased to $800.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under our share repurchase program. Pursuant to this share repurchase program, we repurchased $330.1 million of ordinary shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Board of Directors also authorized additional share repurchase of up to $1.0 billion on October 23, 2024. Together with the existing program, the Company’s remaining authorization allows for repurchases up to $1.2 billion, representing more than 10 % of the Company’s outstanding shares as of October 23, 2024.
Since the initial share repurchase authorization in July 2022, we have purchased an aggregate amount of $635.4 million of ordinary shares through September 30, 2024. Based upon the remaining repurchase authority of $164.6 million and the closing stock price as of September 30, 2024, approximately 6.3 million ordinary shares could be subject to repurchase. All shares repurchased were immediately cancelled.
Credit Risk Analysis
For the purposes of mitigating the effect of the changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities reflect the fair value of the instruments, including the values associated with counterparty risk. These values must also take into account our credit standing, thus including the valuation of the derivative instrument and the value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract. Adjustments to our derivative assets and liabilities related to credit risk were not material for any period presented.
The income approach was used as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used.
Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size, and with the same credit rating. See Notes 17 and 18 for further details.
At this time, we have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position.
Financial Position Outlook
We are committed to a strong balance sheet. We continue to maintain sufficient liquidity to support the needs of the business through growth, cyclicality, and unforeseen events. We continue to maintain and drive sustainable leverage to preserve access to capital throughout the cycle. Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed to match market demand and activity levels. Projected capital expenditures do not include all contingent capital that may be needed to respond to contract awards. In maintaining our commitment to sustainable leverage and liquidity, we expect to be able to continue to generate cash flow available for investment in growth and distribution to shareholders through the business cycle.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes to our identified critical accounting estimates.
OTHER MATTERS
On June 25, 2019, we announced a global resolution to pay a total of $301.3 million to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the SEC, and Brazilian authorities (Federal Prosecution Service (“MPF”)) and the Comptroller General of Brazil (“CGU”) and the Attorney General of Brazil (“AGU”) to resolve these anti-corruption investigations related to historic conduct by Technip S.A. in Brazil and historic conduct by FMC Technologies concerning services provided by a vendor, Unaoil S.A.M. We were not required to have a monitor and instead, provided reports on our anti-corruption program to the Brazilian and U.S. authorities for two and three years, respectively.
As part of this resolution, we entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with the DOJ related to charges of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil and with Unaoil. In addition, Technip USA, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil. We also consented to the entry of an Administrative Order issued by the SEC related to Unaoil.
In Brazil, on June 25, 2019, our subsidiaries Technip Brasil - Engenharia, Instalações E Apoio Marítimo Ltda., and Flexibrás Tubos Flexíveis Ltda. entered into leniency agreements with both the MPF and the CGU/AGU. We made, as part of those agreements, certain enhancements to the compliance programs in Brazil during the two-year self-reporting period, which aligned with our commitment to cooperation and transparency with the compliance community in Brazil and globally.
On December 8, 2022, the Company received notice of the official release from all obligations and charges by CGU, having successfully completed all of the self-reporting requirements in the leniency agreements and the case was closed. On December 27, 2022, the DOJ filed a Motion to Dismiss the charges against TechnipFMC related to conspiracy to violate the FCPA, noting to the Court that the Company had fully met and completed all of its obligations under the DPA. The Dismissal Order was signed by the Court on January 4, 2023, thereby closing the case. All obligations to regulatory authorities related to the enforcement matters in the United States and Brazil have been completed and the Company has been unconditionally released by both jurisdictions.
As previously disclosed, we have also resolved an anti-corruption investigation by French authorities (the Parquet National Financier (“PNF”)). On June 22, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Technip UK Limited, along with Technip Energies SAS, a subsidiary of Technip Energies NV, reached a resolution with the PNF of all outstanding matters, including its investigations into historical projects in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Angola. The resolution took the form of a convention judiciaire d'interet public (“CJIP”), which does not involve any admission of liability or guilt.
Under the terms of the CJIP, Technip UK, and Technip Energies France will pay a public interest fine of €154.8 million and €54.1 million, respectively, for a total of €208.9 million. Under the companies’ separation agreements, TechnipFMC is responsible for €179.45 million to be paid in installments through July 2024, and Technip Energies is responsible for the remaining €29.45 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded an incremental liability of $126.5 million. After making all scheduled installment payments of €24.7 million, €51.6 million, €51.6 million, and €51.6 million on July 13, 2023, January 15, 2024, April 8, 2024, and July 10, 2024, respectively, we have no further outstanding balance as of September 30, 2024.
TechnipFMC fully cooperated with the PNF and was not required to retain a monitor. The CJIP received final approval by the President of the Tribunal Judiciaire of Paris at a hearing on June 28, 2023.
All obligations to PNF related to the enforcement matters in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Angola have been completed and the Company has been unconditionally released by PNF.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various pending or potential legal actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. These actions and disputes can involve our agents, suppliers, clients, and joint venture partners and can include claims related to payment of fees, service quality, and ownership arrangements, including certain put or call options. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes or updates to our risk factors that were previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
