    Jamie Franklin's questions to Cadeler (CDLR) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Jamie Franklin from Jefferies asked about the 2025 guidance, seeking clarity on the key variables to reach the upper end of the range and the delivery timeline assumptions for the remaining newbuilds, given recent early deliveries.

    Jamie Franklin's questions to TENARIS (TS) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jamie Franklin requested a quantification of the progress made on the $200 million cost-saving program targeted for H1 2025. He also asked for elaboration on the sales decline in South America, specifically regarding lower prices mentioned for Argentina.

    Answer

    Chairman and CEO Paolo Rocca confirmed that the company has already captured more than half of the planned $200 million in savings and is on track to meet the goal by the end of Q2. Regarding Argentina, he explained the lower average price was due to a product mix shift toward lower-priced welded line pipe projects. He noted that OCTG prices, which are largely tied to the Pipe Logix index, are expected to follow that benchmark.

    Jamie Franklin's questions to Technip Energies (THNPY) leadership

    Jamie Franklin's questions to Technip Energies (THNPY) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jamie Franklin asked about the expected revenue profile for the Project Delivery segment for the rest of the year, noting that the Q1 run-rate already puts the company on track to meet the high end of its increased guidance.

    Answer

    CEO Arnaud Pieton explained that while project work isn't typically seasonal, there can be a slight slowdown in progress during the summer in the Middle East, where several major construction projects are located. For safety reasons during high temperatures, work shifts to night, which can sometimes result in less weekly progress compared to day shifts. This factor is built into their planning and could temper the run-rate in subsequent quarters.

    Jamie Franklin's questions to Technip Energies (THNPY) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jamie Franklin pointed out that run-rating the Q1 Project Delivery revenue already reaches the high end of the new guidance and asked if there were specific reasons to expect a decline in revenue in subsequent quarters.

    Answer

    CEO Arnaud Pieton explained that while projects typically don't have seasonality, the current portfolio has a high concentration of construction in the Middle East. He noted that progress can slow during the hot summer months due to safety protocols like shifting to night work, which can affect the quarterly revenue phasing. This is factored into the annual plan but can cause quarterly fluctuations.
