1 Operating income from recurring activities divided by revenue.
2 Operating income from recurring activities before depreciation and amortization.
3 As per IFRS, diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to the Parent Company's Shareholders, restated from financial interest related to dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period, plus the effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares related to the convertible bonds, dilutive stock options and performance shares calculated according to the "Share Purchase Method" (IFRS 2), less treasury shares. In conformity with this method, anti-dilutive stock options are ignored in calculating EPS. Dilutive options are taken into account if the subscription price of the stock options plus the future IFRS 2 charge (i.e. the sum of annual charge to be recorded until the end of the stock option plan) is lower than the average market share price during the period.
4 Recommendation of Technip's Board of Directors to be approved during the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting (AGM) on April 24, 2014.

Thierry Pilenko, Chairman and CEO, commented:

"2013 was a year of both achievements and challenges. In Onshore/Offshore, our 2013 operational performance was overall in line with our objectives. We made good progress in completing major projects such as the Lucius Spar and the Jubail refinery. In Subsea, after 9 months of revenue and profit growth, we had to revise our expectations for the fourth quarter. However, project delivery was good in many areas, notably for example the North Sea. It is important to note that the Group met all its revised financial and operational goals for the fourth quarter.

Throughout the year, we were able to add value to our clients, thanks to our sustained recent investments in people, assets, technology and geographic presence, both organically and by acquisition. Consequently, we were awarded a record level of orders worth €12 billion. These include the first orders for our new Açu flexible pipe plant in Brazil, the Moho Nord project in Congo utilizing our S-Lay fleet, the CP Chem downstream investment in the US and a major project management consultancy assignment in Kuwait, both capitalizing on the Stone and Webster Process Technologies acquisition in 2012.

Our year-end backlog stands at €16.6 billion and is profitable and well diversified by segment, client and geography. Our relatively high level of visibility on our business outlook has enabled us to set out realistic and achievable financial targets for these two years. These targets are reiterated in full today. Accordingly, following the growth in 2013 of our revenues, profit and cashflow, we propose to shareholders a 10% increase in our dividend to €1.85 per share.

Looking forward, our clients' capex continues to increase globally, even if at a more moderate rate than in the past decade. Some themes remain clear in our industry - amongst them the fast depletion of older reservoirs, the abundance of new finds potentially to replace them, a long-term trend towards gas production, the importance of shale oil and gas to the US onshore market. For some years now, larger projects have taken longer to sanction, but recent actual project awards as well as announcements confirm that our clients remain focused on moving most of them forward. More and more, they are engaging their supply chain in the definition and implementation of fit-for-purpose solutions.

Technip is well placed to benefit from its presence in regions such as Brazil, Africa and North America, as well as technology areas such as (F)LNG, where client investment is rising. We are consistently able to help our clients optimize their investments, participating in projects from conceptual, through to FEED and, notably, value-engineering phases. We can offer technology and engineering solutions to make projects, large and small, cost-effective. We see the benefits of our positioning today in our ability to take many projects on the basis of our added-value. For the medium-term, this is manifested in a growing number of long-term alliances with clients and industrial partners, such as Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Sasol, COOEC, Huanqiu and Heerema.

Our focus in the year ahead will be on demonstrating our execution capability, delivering our projects safely and reliably, so as to drive profitable growth over 2014, 2015 and beyond. We will maintain our strategic direction - profitability and diversification in our project portfolio, prudent investment in key assets, development of proprietary technology, and being closer to our clients through local presence and investment. We expect the result to be a reinforcement of our leading position in our industry."

I. PROJECT PORTFOLIO

In fourth quarter 2013, foreign exchange had a negative impact of €131 million on revenue and a negative impact of €9 million on operating income from recurring activities compared to the same period 12 months ago. The euro appreciated strongly against all our main operating currencies compared to a year ago, notably in areas such as the North Sea and Brazil, where we have substantial subsea activity.

4. Group Net Income

Operating income was €207 million in the fourth quarter 2013, versus €237 million a year ago.

Financial result in fourth quarter 2013 included a €25.8 million negative impact from changes in the fair market value of hedging instruments, compared with a €8.7 million negative impact last year.

The variation in Diluted Number of Shares was minimal, being mainly due to stock options granted to Technip's employees, partially offset by stock repurchase programs.

Capital expenditures net of disposals for the fourth quarter 2013 were €100 million compared to €159 million one year ago. This reflects continued investment in assets such as the Açu facility in Brazil, and the impact of the sale of assets such as older vessels.

Shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2013, was €4,174 million compared with €3,962 million as of December 31, 2012, restated.

In October 2013, Technip issued three private placements with long maturities for general corporate purposes (€125 million and €130 million over 10 years, €100 million over 20 years) for an aggregate amount of €355 million.

III. FULL YEAR 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

1. Subsea

Subsea revenue in 2013 reflected a mix of deep and shallow water projects as well as small to very large awards during the year. Most of the regions where Technip operates showed signs of active business, in particular West Africa and Brazil. Operational performance was satisfactory overall in all regions except the Gulf of Mexico which impacted financial performance in Q4.

Subsea EBITDA margin was 19.1% for full year 2013 versus 19.0% in 2012 and operating margin was 14.3% for full year 2013 versus 15.0% in 2012, reflecting the progress of large projects in their early phases, the start-up costs of various assets such as the Deep Energy and Açu manufacturing plant, and the operational performance on projects in the Gulf of Mexico in the last quarter of the year.

Subsea financial performance is set out in the following table:

€ million       FY 2012*       FY 2013       Change
Subsea

4. Group Net Income

Operating income was €845 million in 2013 versus €819 million a year ago.

Financial result in 2013 included a €84.3 million negative impact from interest expenses as well as changes in foreign exchange rates and fair market value of hedging instruments, compared with a €67.3 million negative impact last year.

The variation in diluted number of shares is mainly due to the potential dilution of convertible bonds (OCEANE), capital increase for Technip employees, and share subscription options and performance shares granted to Technip employees, offset by share repurchase programs.
