"Our order intake year-to-date is in line with revenue, and we are very confident that orders will exceed revenue on a full-year basis. Our confidence is bolstered by our recent selection for the delivery of large modules for a major offshore project in the Americas. We have also recently secured an important award for Rely, our joint venture for green hydrogen and Power-to-X, to provide services for one of the world's largest green ammonia plants for AM Green in India, and, we celebrated a technology first with an award for our proprietary low-emission cracking ethylene furnace for CPChem in the US.”

"In addition, we secured our position on notable projects that will reinforce and diversify our backlog in 2025 and beyond. This includes our selection by Lake Charles LNG for a major export terminal in the US, as well a front-end engineering design (FEED) award on Rovuma LNG in Mozambique - both projects underscore our continued leadership in modularized LNG trains.”

"Our strategic focus provides for sustained growth and success in promising new industries including blue molecules and carbon capture. In the third quarter, bp awarded T.EN a FEED for its H2Teesside project, which is expected to be one of the UK's largest blue hydrogen production facilities. This reinforces our position in the UK's first decarbonized industrial cluster, where we have also been selected for the NZT Power carbon-capture project, pending final investment decision. These awards are establishing T.EN's early leadership in growth markets.”

"With the completion of our share buyback program and planned cancellation of treasury shares, T.EN will have returned more than €170 million in cash to shareholders during 2024 through dividends and buybacks - roughly equivalent to 4.5% of our market capitalization - a clear and tangible sign of our commitment to shareholder returns.”

"Finally, we are looking forward to engaging with our investor community at our Capital Markets Day on November 21, 2024 and sharing more about our vision for T.EN's bright future.”

Technip Energies awarded a proprietary equipment contract by Chevron Phillips Chemical for the first complete implementation of the low-CO2 cracking furnace technology (USA)

  • Technip Energies has been awarded an Engineering and Procurement contract by Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) for the supply of a proprietary Low Emission Cracking Furnace in an existing olefins unit at its facility in Sweeny, Texas. This low-emission design is cost-effective and will reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by approximately 30 %. Technip Energies' patented design of the Low Emission Cracking Furnace focuses on improving fuel efficiency using a novel heat recovery scheme, which includes combustion air preheat and a first-of-its-kind gas-to-gas primary feed effluent exchanger. The project also electrifies a major compressor driver, and because the low emission furnace will be capable of using hydrogen as fuel, the project enables immediate and future reductions to the existing unit's carbon intensity.

Technip Energies to design groundbreaking low-carbon hydrogen facility for bp (United Kingdom)

  • Technip Energies has been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by bp for the H2Teesside project in the North East of the United Kingdom. H2Teesside is expected to be one of the UK's largest low-carbon hydrogen production facilities - fully integrated with carbon capture technology. The project is targeting 1.2 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production, which equates to more than 10% of the UK's 2030 hydrogen production target. As part of the FEED study, Technip Energies will deliver a comprehensive design utilizing their in-house expertise and global best practices to design large scale project, integrating hydrogen and carbon capture technologies. In the perspective of a 2025 final investment decision, the next step for Technip Energies, if selected, will be to provide the full Engineering Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) package for the project.

Rely awarded a contract by AM Green to engineer and deliver India's Largest* Green Ammonia complex in Kakinada (India)

  • Rely has been awarded an EPsCm contract by AM Green India Pvt Ltd. for its 2 x 1500 tons per day (TPD) Green Ammonia Complex at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Corporate and other items

Corporate costs, excluding non-recurring items, were €40.8 million for the first nine months of 2024.

Non-recurring expense amounted to €16.4 million and includes costs incurred relating the set up of new business ventures.

Net financial income of €88.9 million benefited from interest income generated from cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by interest expenses associated with the senior unsecured notes and the mark-to-market valuation impact of investments in traded securities.

Effective tax rate on an adjusted IFRS basis was 30.3% for the first nine months of 2024. This is slightly above the prior 2024 guidance range of 26% - 30%. This is due to the mix effect of reduced earnings from lower tax rate jurisdictions and more earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions. As a result of this, and the potential impact of the French surtax, FY 2024 tax rate guidance has increased to 29% - 33% (previously 26% - 30%).

Depreciation and amortization expense was €82.6 million, of which €52.7 million is related to IFRS 16.

Adjusted net cash at September 30, 2024 was €2.7 billion, which compares to €2.8 billion at December 31, 2023.

Adjusted free cash flow was €191.6 million for the first nine months of 2024. Adjusted free cash flow, excluding the working capital and provisions variance of €168.7 million, was €360.3 million benefiting from strong operational performance and consistently high conversion from Adjusted recurring EBIT at 101%. Free cash flow is stated after capital expenditures of €55.8 million. Adjusted operating cash flow was €247.4 million.

Share buyback

Completion of the share buyback program. On September 30, 2024, the Company announced the completion of it €100 million share buyback program. Between March 5, 2024 and September 27, 2024 a total number of 4,580,640 shares (representing 2.52% of the share capital of the Company) were bought back.

The shares acquired under the share buyback program will be used to 1) reduce the Company's share capital by cancelling treasury shares and 2) to meet the Company's obligations under equity incentive plans.

Liquidity

Adjusted liquidity of €4.2 billion at September 30, 2024 comprised of €3.5 billion of cash and €750 million of liquidity provided by the Company's undrawn revolving credit facility, offset by €80 million of outstanding commercial paper. The Company's revolving credit facility is available for general use and serves as a backstop for the Company's commercial paper program.
