Material Changes vs. Prior Period

Outlook, Guidance, and Risks
- Business Outlook: Management expects moderate global economic growth in 2026. The long-term outlook for oil and gas remains positive, with a shift toward offshore deepwater opportunities in the Gulf of America, North Sea, and West Africa. The company is leveraging its "Subsea 2.0" and "iEPCI" models to reduce cycle times and costs.
- Order Backlog: Total backlog stands at $16.44 billion. Subsea backlog is $15.83 billion, and Surface Technologies backlog is $606.8 million. Approximately 24.6% of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations are expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2026.
- Credit Ratings: In June 2026, both Fitch and S&P upgraded TechnipFMC's credit rating to 'BBB' (from 'BBB-') with a stable outlook, reflecting improved financial strength.
- Risks: Key risks include geopolitical conflicts (specifically in the Middle East), commodity price volatility, supply chain disruptions, and the execution risks associated with large-scale fixed-price contracts. The company notes that regional conflicts could impact project timing and costs.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Backlog Conversion: Verify the sustainability of the 17.4% higher backlog conversion rate driving current revenue growth.
- Subsea Margins: Confirm if the 19.6% operating margin in Subsea is sustainable given the mix of iEPCI and SPS supply activities.
- Surface Technologies Volatility: Monitor the impact of Middle East regional conflicts on Surface Technologies revenue, which saw a $40.1M decline in Q2.
- Share Repurchase Runway: Assess the remaining $1.5 billion repurchase authorization against current share prices and cash flow generation.
- Working Capital: Review the increase in trade receivables and contract assets, which contributed to a $436M outflow in operating cash flows YTD.
