Press Release

2006 First half and second quarter results

July 27, 2006

PARIS--()--Regulatory News:

 

On July 25, 2007, Technip’s (Paris:TEC) (NYSE:TKP) (ISIN:FR0000131708) Board of Directors approved the second quarter and first half 2007 consolidated accounts.

Thierry Pilenko, Chairman and CEO, commented: “Second quarter results were driven by sustained revenue growth in the SURF and the Onshore-Downstream businesses largely offsetting the expected slowdown in the Offshore Facilities segment.

The high utilization rate of our vessels at 82% confirms that the subsea business remains robust across all regions and contributes to the continuous improvement of the SURF margins. To meet the demand in the subsea market we have completed the extension of our flexible pipes manufacturing capacities in France and Brazil and our fleet extension program is on track. In the Onshore-Downstream segment where many large projects are in the construction phase, our margin ratio is stable compared to the first quarter.

We signed approximately EUR 1.7 billion of new projects in the second quarter and our backlog remains strong at EUR 9.7 billion. Most of the newly acquired backlog consists of small to medium size projects which confirms the depth of the market. Several large project awards have moved into the second half of 2007 or early 2008 and overall large opportunities continue to expand both offshore and onshore.

Our activity is not sensitive to the short term natural gas price variations and we foresee the development of several large, long-term gas related projects.

As previously announced, we will present Technip’s growth strategy during the third week of October.”

B. PROJECTS, ASSETS AND CAPEX

1) Projects

In the SURF business segment, ongoing projects are progressing in a satisfactory manner in all our areas. In shallow as well as deep water, the vessel utilization rates stand at a high level; they average 82% at Group level. The Agbami project is progressing according to the project schedule, with flexible pipes and umbilicals being manufacturing in Le Trait (France) and Duco in Newcastle (UK) respectively. Offshore installation campaign for flowlines and sea structures on PDET project in Brazil is currently being executed by the Deep Blue.

In the Offshore Facilities business segment, the flare structure on the Akpo FPSO in Nigeria was completed during the second quarter 2007, while the construction of the topsides is ongoing in Korea. On the Perdido Spar project for the Gulf of Mexico, engineering and procurement are progressing. On the Tahiti Spar project, Technip has identified metallurgical problems on some mooring shackles. New shackles are under manufacturing, they will replace the identified failing ones. Deep investigations are ongoing in order to identify the root causes of the metallurgical problems.

In the Onshore-Downstream business segment, a large number of projects are currently in construction phase: LNG Train 6 project in Nigeria and Otway Onshore project are in their final stage, while the projects signed in 2005 in Middle-East, Vietnam and Canada are in full execution. Tensions on construction resources remain strong, notably in the Middle-East. Within a market environment which remains favorable, many large-scale projects should be awarded in the year to come.

In the Industries business segment, projects are progressing satisfactorily.

2) Assets and Capex

Flexible manufacturing plants

  • Projects to increase the Group’s flexible pipe production plant capacity by 50% and 20% respectively in Vitoria, Brazil, and Le Trait, France, are completed.
  • New development programs have been decided to expand Vitoria plant’s storage area and for a new large capacity crane, 800 tons, in Le Trait for vessel loading. These programs should be completed in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

Fleet of vessels

  • Acquired in 2006, the Seamec Princess, will be operational, after conversion works, in September 2007 for shallow water indian operations. During second half of 2007, the Skandi Achiever, a new diving support vessel will be delivered to Technip (8 years charter agreement). Another new diving support vessel, which is 50% owned by Technip, will be delivered in 2008 as originally planned. Concerning the new pipelay vessel, based on request for quotation’s answers, the selection of the construction yard should take place during the third quarter 2007.

Overall, capex should amount to EUR 200 million in 2007 (cash impact). Beyond 2007, remaining capex, associated to ongoing vessel and plant development programs amounts to about EUR 500 million.

During second quarter 2007, Group operating income reached EUR 127.9 million, up 51.4% compared to the EUR 84.5 million a year ago. Operating margin ratio stood at 6.9% compared to 5.3%.

5) Results

Net financial charges were EUR 13.5 million, including a EUR 4.8 million negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate variation and from IAS 32/39 on hedging instruments’ fair market value.

Income tax was EUR 32.6 million. The effective tax rate stood at 28.4%.

Net income was EUR 79.6 million, showing a 54.6% increase compared to the second quarter 2006 net income.

As per IFRS, the Earnings Per Share or EPS (diluted Earnings per Share) is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to Parent Company’s Shareholders by, the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period, plus the effect of dilutive stock options calculated according to the “Share Purchase Method” (IFRS 2), plus the average number of weighed attributed performance shares, less treasury shares. In conformity with this method, anti dilutive stock options are ignored in calculating EPS. Dilutive options are taken into account if the subscription price of the stock options plus the future IFRS 2 charge (i.e. the sum of annual charges to be recorded until the end of the plan of stock option) is lower than the share average market price during the period. For the second quarter 2007 this number of shares on a fully diluted basis stands at 105,510,784. Applying the same calculation method to the second quarter 2006, 110,465,787 shares are retained instead of the 108,863,692 shares actually computed for the EPS calculation one year ago.

Fully diluted EPS and E/ADS increased by 61.8% to EUR 0.75 and USD 1.02 compared to EUR 0.47 and USD 0.63, respectively, one year earlier according to this new dilution calculation.

Second quarter 2007 net income reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) amounted to EUR 79.9 million.

B. FIRST HALF 2007

1) Revenues

At EUR 3,619.3 million, first half 2007 Group revenues were up 14.4% compared to the first half 2006.

2) Operating Income from Recurring Activities

Group operating income from recurring activities reached EUR 236.0 million, up 111.5% compared to the first half 2006. The associated margin ratio was 6.5%, up 300 basis points compared to the 3.5% level recorded in the first half 2006. Operating income from recurring activities excludes income from the sale of activities managed by PSSL and PSSI in the SURF segment and GMF in the Offshore Facilities segment during first quarters 2007 and 2006 respectively as well as those from the sale of several assets in Onshore-Downstream segment during second quarter 2006.

3) Income from Activity Disposal

During the first half 2007, income from activity disposal amounted to EUR 14.4 million (Sale of PSSL and PSSI in the SURF segment) after an EUR 8.0 million goodwill reversal.

During the first half 2006, income from activity disposal amounted to EUR 26.9 million (sale of GMF assets in the Offshore Facilities segment in first quarter and several assets in Onshore-Downstream in second quarter).

4) Operating Income

During the first half 2007, Group operating income reached EUR 250.4 million, up 80.8% compared to the EUR 138.5 million a year ago. Operating margin ratio stood at 6.9% compared to 4.4%.

5) Results

Net financial charges were EUR 34.1 million including a EUR 13.0 million negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate variation and from IAS 32/39 on hedging instruments’ fair market value.

Income tax was EUR 59.4 million. The effective tax rate stood at 28.2% compared to 36.4% one year ago: as per application of IFRS 3, an extraordinary goodwill reduction of EUR 2.5 million was accounted as a non-cash tax charge.

Tax on income from activity disposal amounted to EUR 7.2 million during first half 2007, compared to EUR 1.9 million for the first half 2006.

Net income was EUR 147.7 million, showing a significant 92.3 % increase compared to the first half 2006 net income.

As per IFRS, the Earnings Per Share or EPS (diluted Earnings per Share) is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to Parent Company’s Shareholders by, the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period, plus the effect of dilutive stock options calculated according to the “Share Purchase Method” (IFRS 2), plus the average number of weighed attributed performance shares, less treasury shares. In conformity with this method, anti dilutive stock options are ignored in calculating EPS. Dilutive options are taken into account if the subscription price of the stock options plus the future IFRS 2 charge (i.e. the sum of annual charge to be recorded until the end of the plan of stock option) is lower than the share average market price during the period. For the first half 2007 this number of shares on a fully diluted basis stands at 104,971,742. Applying the same calculation method to the first half 2006, 111,735,582 shares are retained instead of the 108,863,692 shares actually computed for the EPS calculation one year ago.

Fully diluted EPS and E/ADS increased 99.8% to EUR 1.41 and USD 1.90 compared to EUR 0.70 and USD 0.95 respectively, one year ago according to this new dilution calculation.

First half 2007 net income reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) amounted to EUR 154.2 million.

6) Cash and Balance Sheet

During the first half 2007, the net cash position was almost stable at EUR 1,502.1 million compared to EUR 1,540.3 million. This was primarily due to the change in working capital (EUR 115.4 million), cash generated from operations (EUR 204.6 million) and proceeds from PSSL and PSSI disposal (EUR 66.1 million); dividend payment amounted to EUR 274.7 million, share buy-backs to EUR 86.2 million and capital expenditures to EUR 65.8 million.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30th, 2007 was EUR 2,216.9 million, compared to EUR 2,401.3 million at December 31st, 2006. This reduction is mainly due to the dividend payment which occurred on May 3rd, 2007 for an amount of EUR 274.7 million.

III. DELISTING OF ADS FROM NYSE AND DEREGISTRATION WITH THE SEC

On July 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of Technip approved management’s recommendation to apply for voluntary delisting of its American Depositary Shares (ADS) from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and voluntary deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
