## Customers

Customers are primarily oil and gas operators that develop offshore and onshore fields, including major integrated oil companies, national oil companies, and independent exploration and production companies. The company also sells to oil and gas service companies and works through alliances and direct awards on large capital projects where integrated delivery and execution certainty matter most.

- **Major integrated oil companies** (primary) — Buy subsea systems, SURF, and integrated project execution for large offshore developments.
- **National oil companies** (primary) — Buy offshore and Middle East project solutions for long-cycle field development.
- **Independent exploration and production companies** (secondary) — Buy equipment and services for field development where capital efficiency matters.
- **Oil and gas service companies** (secondary) — Buy surface production and pressure control equipment for wellsite operations.

- Major integrated oil companies buying subsea and surface systems
- National oil companies seeking long-cycle offshore development support
- Independent E&P companies needing field development and equipment
- Oil and gas service companies purchasing surface equipment and controls
- Operators that value integrated project delivery and lifecycle support

## Geography

TechnipFMC serves a global customer base, with subsea activity spanning Brazil, Norway, Nigeria, Israel, the United States, Angola, and the Middle East. The company’s business is especially tied to offshore and deepwater markets, while its surface technologies business is more exposed to North America and selected international onshore markets.

- **Brazil** (0%) — Named as a major contributor to subsea revenue growth, but no total share disclosed.
- **Norway** (0%) — Named as a major contributor to subsea revenue growth, but no total share disclosed.
- **Nigeria** (0%) — Named as a major contributor to subsea revenue growth, but no total share disclosed.
- **Israel** (0%) — Named as a major contributor to subsea revenue growth, but no total share disclosed.
- **United States** (0%) — Mentioned as a market where project completion reduced subsea revenue; surface U.S. land is a small share.
- **Angola** (0%) — Mentioned in subsea project completion activity; no total share disclosed.
- **Middle East** (0%) — Important growth market, especially UAE and Saudi Arabia; no total share disclosed.

- Brazil is a major subsea market and a key source of project activity
- Norway and Nigeria are important offshore subsea revenue contributors
- Israel and Angola appear in project-driven subsea activity
- Middle East growth is tied to UAE and Saudi Arabia ramp-up
- U.S. land is a smaller part of company revenue than offshore markets

## Strategy

TechnipFMC’s strategy centers on integrated subsea delivery, proprietary technology, and lifecycle services that improve project economics for offshore developments. It also emphasizes decarbonization, digital/automation tools, and expansion in less cyclical international markets such as the Middle East, where national oil companies support longer-duration investment cycles.

- **Deepen integrated subsea leadership** (medium-term) — The iEPCI model combines multiple work scopes and can improve customer economics and execution certainty.
- **Expand in international offshore and Middle East markets** (medium-term) — These markets are less cyclical and are supported by national oil company investment horizons.
- **Increase digital, automation, and decarbonization content** (long-term) — Technology differentiation supports customer value, lower operating cost, and lower carbon intensity.

- Expand integrated subsea awards through iEPCI™ and direct awards
- Use proprietary technology to improve project economics and execution
- Grow in the Middle East and other international markets
- Support decarbonization through lower-carbon field development solutions
- Apply digital and automation tools to reduce cost and downtime

## Risks

Demand is tied to oil and gas spending, so lower commodity prices or delayed upstream investment can reduce project awards and equipment demand. The business also faces execution, supply chain, cyber, contract, geopolitical, and regulatory risks because it delivers complex offshore projects across many countries and often under fixed-price or long-cycle contracts.

- **Oil and gas spending cyclicality** [high] — Orders depend on upstream investment and commodity prices, which move with the energy cycle.
- **Fixed-price contract execution** [high] — Complex offshore projects can suffer cost overruns, delays, or scope changes.
- **Cybersecurity and IT disruption** [high] — The company relies on digital systems, remote work, and connected project execution.
- **Geopolitical and regulatory exposure** [medium] — Operations span multiple jurisdictions and offshore regions with sanctions and conflict risk.
- **Supplier and subcontractor dependence** [medium] — Large projects rely on third parties and joint venture partners for timely delivery.

- Oil and gas capex cycles drive demand for subsea and surface equipment
- Fixed-price projects can lose money if costs or schedules slip
- Project delays can hurt backlog conversion and customer relationships
- Cyberattacks or IT failures can disrupt operations and sensitive data
- Geopolitical and maritime risks affect offshore assets and personnel
- Debt, ratings, and liquidity matter in a capital-intensive business

## Accounting

Revenue recognition is a key judgment area because the company executes large, multi-year projects and services contracts that may recognize revenue over time. Investors should also watch estimates for income taxes, uncertain tax positions, pensions, and any impairment or restructuring-related charges, since these can move reported earnings and balance-sheet values materially.

- **Revenue recognition on long-term contracts** — Can shift revenue and margin timing across quarters and years
- **Seasonality in offshore activity** — Quarterly revenue and operating profit can be uneven
- **Income taxes and uncertain tax positions** — Can materially affect tax expense and deferred tax assets
- **Pension and post-retirement assumptions** — Changes can alter liabilities and pension expense

- Over-time revenue recognition on long-cycle project contracts
- Cost-to-complete estimates affect project margins and timing
- Seasonality in offshore activity affects quarterly comparability
- Income tax judgments and valuation allowances can change materially
- Pension assumptions affect liabilities and periodic expense
