Arnaud Pieton, Chief Executive Officer of Technip Energies, stated, “​Technip Energies is a leading engineering and technology company for the energy transition. We have world leading market positions in LNG, ethylene and hydrogen, and we are central to powerful energy transition themes – from decarbonization to carbon-free solutions – to meet today’s and tomorrow’s energy challenges. We have growing positions on break-through technologies in green hydrogen, sustainable chemistry and CO₂ management. Today, our extensive backlog and a breadth of commercial opportunities provide strong revenue visibility and medium-term margin expansion potential. Our asset light business and strong balance sheet provide a solid platform to support our growth ambitions and high return-on-invested capital through the cycle. Ultimately, we aim to be the reference investment platform for the Energy Transition.”

Technip Energies is one of the world’s largest Engineering and Technology (E&T) companies. With its broad offering of project capabilities, technologies, products and services, the Company is ideally positioned to accelerate the Energy Transition. The Company has over 15,000 employees globally across 34 countries and can point to over 60 years of successful operations. Technip Energies, which is incorporated in the Netherlands, will be headquartered in Paris. The Company will have its shares listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange under the ticker “TE” with American depositary receipts (“ADRs”). Based on the 12 months to June 20, 2020, Technip Energies is a €6 billion revenue company supported by a significant €13.2 billion backlog as of June 30, 2020.

A compelling investment proposition

Our value proposition is characterized by the following:

Pioneering downstream and gas evolution. Technip Energies has a competitive and differentiated offering to address significant market opportunities in LNG and gas monetization, offshore and downstream. The Company is a partner of choice globally, with a 50-year track record and leading positions in the attractive markets of LNG and ethylene. The Company sees robust long-term demand for gas and downstream, with both LNG and downstream playing a critical role in the energy transition. The Company’s innovations around decarbonization and efficiency are enabling sustainable solutions for greenfield and revamp projects.

Accelerating the energy transition. Technip Energies, with its process engineering and process technology capabilities, is focused on accelerating the energy transition. The Company possesses an extensive and evolving proprietary technology portfolio and has significant expertise in technology integration and scale-up. It intends to leverage its pioneering mindset to remain at the forefront as the market evolves towards new energy chains. The structural market shift towards hydrogen, sustainable chemistry and low-carbon infrastructures is viewed by the Company as a significant opportunity.

Leveraging capabilities to expand opportunity set. Technip Energies is expanding into new growth areas in services, energy transition and other selected industries. Technip Energies has expanded its advisory and high-value services through Genesis and its project management consultancy offering. Through applying its core skills and capabilities in energy molecule transformation, the Company is able to integrate offshore, hydrogen process and architecture design to unlock new energy possibilities. Further, it will selectively expand into other industries such as Life Sciences and Agritech, primarily with a services value proposition.

Providing outstanding delivery. Technip Energies’ global team of ~15,000 professionals consist of industry-leading engineering, technical and project management expertise. This highly talented workforce supports a value proposition underpinned by strong project execution, a leading process technology portfolio and robust risk management processes. The Company’s track-record includes many of the world's largest and most iconic energy projects, clearly demonstrating its front-runner spirit. The Company is enhancing its project execution capabilities by integrating digital into its project processes and believes that a digital transformation of Technip Energies will drive internal efficiencies and enhance its services offering.

Offering financial strength and stability. Technip Energies will illustrate its financial strengths and demonstrate a solid foundation for sustainable shareholder returns. Being largely a backlog-based business, the Company has strong top-line and margin visibility. Its contracting model supports an early cash conversion of earnings. These factors combined with an asset light business and strong balance sheet provide the platform for high returns on invested capital and support a long-term dividend policy target.

ESG – Our pledge for a better tomorrow. Technip Energies aims to be recognized as a reference ESG company through strong ESG principles, business alignment to the energy transition and integration of a sustainability strategy throughout its processes and business development. Technip Energies intends to propose its sustainability strategy within its first year as an independent company, and thereafter issue a yearly sustainability report with scorecard. As a best practice, the Company intends to support the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact as well as the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
