Consolidated Financial Results as at 31 December 2013

Maire Tecnimont Group’s revenues were €1,656.2 million, down 24.3%. This change reflects the different mix of existing contracts that mainly consist of engineering and procurement services, benefiting from higher margins but lower volumes and low risks and, to a small extent, of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) contracts. Revenues have also been affected by the longer award time by potential clients.

Business profit was €199.1 million, versus negative €68.0 million in 2012. The change reflects the evolution of the higher-profit projects held in the portfolio, driven by the Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals (“OG&P”) BU. The Infrastructures and Civil Engineering (“ICE”) BU also contributed towards the positive result, mainly through the disposal of the stake held in the COCIV Consortium.

The Business Margin is 12.0% versus negative 3.1% in 2012.

G&A costs were €78.7 million, down 13.5%; this is mainly due to the benefits stemming from the ongoing reorganizations.

Research & Development costs were approximately €4.3 million, up €4.1 million. The Group focused its R&D activities on initiatives in high-technology sectors, which are expected to bear positive returns over the next few years.

EBITDA was €116.1 million (7.9% on revenues) versus a negative figure of €159.2 million (-7.3% on revenues) in 2012. This change is mainly due to higher overall business margins and lower G&As.

Amortisation, depreciation, impairment and provisions were €26.1 million and include the write down of about €10 million of the goodwill allocated to the ICE BU.

EBIT was €90.0 million, versus negative €187.4 million as at 31 December 2012.

Net financial income is negative for €40.6 million, showing an improvement of €4.5 million, thanks to the benefits of the refinancing, which has affected the last two quarters of 2013.

Pre-tax income was €50.1 million, and tax provisions were €32.8 million. The effective tax rate as at December 2013 is approximately 65.4% of the pre-tax income; this is influenced by the fact that certain costs and the impairment of the ICE BU goodwill. Net of this one-off effect, the tax rate would have been about 36%. Such a provision has not resulted in a cash outflow, due to the utilization of tax-loss carry forwards.

Group's net profit was €17.3 million, versus a €207.6 million loss as at 31 December 2012.

Net Financial Position ("NFP"), i.e. the net financial debt, was €305.0 million, up €78.8 million. This change was mainly driven by the deconsolidation of the available cash held in the two consortia disposed of in 2013 (COCIV and Metro Copenhagen), together with the physiological reduction of the available cash held in the joint ventures, according to the progress of the projects.

Consolidated shareholders' equity is positive for €35.2 million (negative for €121.8 million as at 31 December 2012). The change is mainly a consequence of the net income of the year, and the capital increase, net of the related accessory charges.

Performance by Business Unit

Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals

Revenues in the OG&P BU, which is the Group's core business, were €1,306.7 million, down 27.8%. This change is due to the different mix of projects held in the portfolio executed during the year.

Business profit was €171.9 million, up 4.2%, leading to a Business margin of 13.2%, up 4.1 percentage points as a consequence of the higher average profitability of existing projects.

EBITDA was €100.7 million, up 10.5%, while EBITDA margin was 7.7%, up 2.7 percentage points.

Energy

The Energy BU revenues were €48.2 million, down €129.3 million. This trend is mainly due to the new strategy of refocusing the business on engineering and procurement services. Consistently,EBITDA was negative for €5.6 million, with a strong improvement compared to the negative €216.5 million in 2012.

Infrastructures and Civil Engineering BU

Revenues of the ICE BU were €301.3 million, up €102.1 million. This change is mainly due to the proceeds from the sale of the stakes held in the COCIV and Metro Copenhagen Consortia, in addition to the greater volumes generated by the Etihad Rail project.

For the same reasons Business profit was €30.5 million, an improvement on 31 December 2012, when it was negative for €24.3 million. The business margin was 10.1%, versus minus 12.2% in 2012.

EBITDA was €21.1 million, (a 7.0% margin) versus minus €33.8 million in 2012 (-17.0% margin). Contributing factors were the sale of the entire stake held in the COCIV and Metro Copenhagen Consortia, together with all related rights and obligations, partially offset by the revision of the completion estimates of some projects, and by provisions for personnel in connection with the reorganisation process still underway.

Backlog

During FY 2013, the Group’s commercial activity generated new awards worth €1,174.1 million,downversus 2012 due to the strategy related to a change in the mix of projects, characterized by higher margins and smaller volumes, in addition to the deferral of awards of certain important projects by some potential clients. However, the Group has already acquired some important projects in the first few months of 2014 (see "Subsequent Events"). It has to be noted that the 2012 awards include €894 million related to the COCIV and Copenhagen Metro projects, which were already under disposal. As at 31 December 2013, the Maire Tecnimont Group’s Backlog was €3,481.8 million, down €1,762.6 million, mainly due to the deconsolidation of the backlog related to the COCIV and Metro Copenhagen projects, for €1,398 million.

As at 31 December 2013, backlog by BU was as follows:

-      OG&P: €2,464.3 million;

-      Energy: €515.2 million;

-      ICE: €502.3 million.

Subsequent Events

On 20 January 2014, Tecnimont S.p.A. signed agreements in connection with the development of engineering works for two fertiliser plants in the Russian Federation, in addition to an agreement for the direct negotiation of the EPC contract for one of the two plants. Both plants are owned by EuroChem Mineral and Chemical Company.

On 30 January 2014, the Group, through the subsidiaries Tecnimont S.p.A., KT - Kinetics Technology S.p.A. and Stamicarbon BV, was awarded, new service contracts and additions for EP, licensing and technology packages for a total value of approximately €96 million.

On 10 February 2014, the Consortium established by some of the Group's subsidiaries (86%) and the Turkish company Ustay A.S. (14%) has been awarded stage II of the Sonara complex expansion project in Cameroon. The total value of the contract amounts to about USD 715 million, of which about USD 612 million pertains to the Maire Tecnimont Group.

On 13 February 2014, the Group launched a placement of an equity linked bond with a term of 5 years, reserved to qualified Italian and foreign investors, for a total nominal amount of €70 million. The placement was successfully completed that same day. On 17 February 2014, the transaction's joint bookrunners exercised their over-allotment option in full. Consequently, the total nominal value of the bonds was increased from €70 million to €80 million. The bonds were issued at par, for a unit nominal value of €100,000; they have a term of 5 years and a fixed annual coupon of 5.75%, payable six-monthly in arrears. The conversion price has been fixed at €2.1898.

On 18 February 2014, Tecnimont USA Inc. and Foster Wheeler USA Corporation signed a collaboration agreement in relation to Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and EPC activities for the development of petrochemical, chemical and fertiliser plants in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.

Outlook

For 2014, the Group expects to maintain positive margins. This result is expected to be mainly driven by the positive trend enjoyed by the OG&P BU, for which new orders are expected, as confirmation of the industrial repositioning and in line with the strategic approach aimed at pursuing lower-risk projects.

In the Energy BU, the Group is currently developing a new commercial strategy aimed at enhancing its core competencies while mainly focusing on engineering services and EP projects, as confirmed by the latest award in the Dominican Republic.

The new strategy of the Group is essentially based on consolidating the traditional EPC business, paying greater attention to the E and EP components, and developing licensing and service activities by exploiting its core competencies. The Group also continues to pursue a cost containment policy consistent with the values already achieved during the year.

Therefore, the Group confirms its re-focusing on the core business.  The previously announced asset disposal plan continues, and further transactions are expected to be completed within the first semester of 2014.
