Guillaume Delaby's questions to Technip Energies (THNPY) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Guillaume Delaby posed two questions about the TPS segment: first, if the strong Q1 margin suggests future margins could significantly exceed the 2028 target once the product mix improves, and second, whether a current slowdown in technology and products could signal a future slowdown in the early-cycle services business.
Answer
CEO Arnaud Pieton and CFO Bruno Vibert addressed this. Pieton agreed that a richer Technology & Products (T&P) mix would improve margins, reinforcing the strategy to invest in this area. Vibert clarified that demand for services and studies remains very strong, dispelling fears of a slowdown. The Q1 top-line dip was attributed to the tail-end of large ethylene projects, while the margin was boosted by their profitable completion and strong services performance.
