TechnipFMC (FTI) To Report Q4 Earnings: What's In Store?

 | Feb 20, 2020 09:32PM ET

TechnipFMC plc (NYSE:FTI) is set to release fourth-quarter 2019 results after the closing bell on Wednesday, Feb 26. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is a profit of 42 cents per share on revenues of $3.9 billion.

Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the company’s performance in the December quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at TechnipFMC’s previous quarter performance first.

Highlights of Q3 Earnings & Surprise History

In the last reported quarter, the London-based company missed the consensus mark on weaker-than-expected contribution from two of the company’s three segments – Subsea and Surface Technologies. TechnipFMC reported adjusted earnings of 12 cents a share, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents by a wide margin. The bottom line was also lower than the year-ago earnings of 31 cents a share. Meanwhile, third-quarter revenues came in at $3,335.1 million, lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,561 million but 6% higher than the prior-year figure of $3,143.8 million on improved contribution from the Onshore/Offshore unit.

As far as earnings surprises are concerned, the manufacturer and supplier of products, services and fully integrated technology solutions for the energy industry is on a slippery slope, having underperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four reports, with the average negative surprise being 67.1%.
