OREANDA-NEWS. April 27, 2016. FMC Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FTI) today reported first quarter 2016 revenue of \\$1.2 billion, down 29 percent from the prior-year quarter. The decline was driven by lower activity and the negative impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar. Diluted earnings per share were \\$0.09, which includes total Company pre-tax impairment and other charges, restructuring and other severance charges, and inventory write-downs of \\$47.6 million, or \\$0.13 per diluted share.

"Subsea Technologies delivered operating margins of 13.1 percent, excluding charges, as we benefited from solid execution and restructuring savings," said

John Gremp, Chairman and CEO of FMC Technologies.

Total inbound orders were \\$671.6 million, including \\$345.9 million in Subsea Technologies orders. Backlog for the Company was \\$4 billion, including Subsea Technologies backlog of \\$3.4 billion.          

"While operators' reduced capital spending continues to delay large deepwater projects, we believe that our subsea service orders will remain fairly resilient in 2016," added Gremp.

Review of Operations - First Quarter 2016

Subsea Technologies
Subsea Technologies first quarter revenue was \\$864 million, down 25 percent from the prior-year quarter. After excluding the \\$57 million of negative impact due to the strong U.S. dollar, total revenue was down 20 percent year-over-year.

Subsea Technologies operating profit decreased 35 percent from the prior-year quarter to \\$109.5 million. Operating results include an \\$8 million negative impact related to the strong U.S. dollar. The segment results also include \\$3.7 million of charges. Total operating profit, excluding foreign currency impact and charges in both periods, was down approximately 28 percent year-over-year, primarily due to the decline in subsea revenues.  

Subsea Technologies operating margins were 13.1 percent, excluding charges.

Subsea Technologies inbound orders for the first quarter were \\$345.9 million. Backlog was \\$3.4 billion.

Surface Technologies
Surface Technologies first quarter revenue was \\$265.5 million, down 41 percent from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the significant decline in North American land activity.

Surface Technologies reported an operating loss of \\$28.6 million, which includes charges of \\$41.8 million. Adjusted operating results were down 81 percent from the prior-year quarter, when excluding charges in both periods, primarily driven by the severe North American activity decline and less favorable pricing.

Energy Infrastructure
Energy Infrastructure first quarter revenue was \\$84.1 million, down 17 percent from the prior-year quarter. The revenue decline was primarily due to lower market activity in our measurement solutions business.

Energy Infrastructure inbound orders for the first quarter were \\$73.8 million and backlog was \\$157.7 million.

Corporate Items
Corporate expense in the first quarter was \\$14.3 million, a decrease of \\$2 million from the prior-year quarter. Other revenue and other expense, net, increased \\$3.6 million from the prior-year quarter to \\$30 million of expense, due largely to the strength of the U.S. dollar. 

The Company ended the quarter with net debt of \\$209.6 million, down \\$30.2 million sequentially, due to strong operating cash flow. Net interest expense was \\$7.5 million in the quarter.

The Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock at an average cost of \\$25.58 per share in the quarter.
