TechnipFMC noted that it will target more than $100m in annualised cost reductions for the Surface Technologies unit, primarily to address the sudden decline in North American activity, and $30m in annualised cost reductions to corporate expenses.

TechnipFMC said in a press statement: “TechnipFMC continues to exhibit solid financial strength and liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.2bn at the end of 2019, of which $2.2bn was available for company use outside joint ventures.

“The company’s liquidity is further supported by a revolving credit facility of $2.5bn.”
