Richard Dawson's questions to Technip Energies NV (THNPY) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Richard Dawson of Berenberg asked about the potential for project completion contingencies to support margins and questioned the reasons for the commercial pipeline decreasing slightly from the previous quarter.
Answer
CEO Arnaud Pieton explained the commercial pipeline's reduction from €75 billion to €70 billion was primarily due to converting major prospects like Net Zero Teesside and CFI into backlog. CFO Bruno Vibert added that the margin impact from the ramp-up of new, early-stage projects currently outweighs the benefit from projects reaching completion, aligning with the full-year guidance.
