On February 21, 2007, Technip’s Board of Directors approved the audited full year 2006 consolidated accounts.

Daniel Valot, Chairman and CEO, commented:Ìý“We met and actually exceeded our 2006 financial targets, despite tight market conditions that affected the prices and delivery schedules of our vendors and sub-contractors. Overall, thanks to the strong increase in its operational performance and to a reduction of financial charges, the Group generated net earnings which are more than twice those of 2005.

In this context, the Board of Directors has decided to propose to the General Shareholders Meeting a 14% increase in the annual dividend bringing it to EUR 1.05 per share and to pay an exceptional dividend of EUR 2.10 per share in order to fulfil the commitment made last year to return to our shareholders the cash balance created by the conversion of the convertible bonds.

The markets in which Technip is a leading service provider remain buoyant. In order to cope with a rising demand, Technip continues to grow its workforce, and to expand the capacity of its manufacturing facilities and of its subsea construction and pipelaying assets. Between the summer 2006 and the year 2010, Technip fleet will add five new vessels.

After having stabilized our backlog in 2006, our target for the full year 2007 is to manage its growth by focusing on the most attractive projects. We anticipate moderate revenue growth and further operating income improvement.â€

(4)Concerning long term frame agreement for offshore inspection repair and maintenance, Technip books in its backlog the estimated expected value of these activities for the upcoming year of execution only.

B. PROJECTS, RESOURCES AND ASSETS

In theÌýSURFÌýsegment, ongoing projects are progressing in a satisfactory manner. In Angola, Total’s Dalia field started production on December 13th, 2006 and Technip’s vessel Deep Blue successfully completed the installation work on the Greater Plutonio field on the BP-operated Block 18. In New Zealand, the Pohokura SURF installation was completed.

In theÌýOffshore FacilitiesÌýsegment, 2006 was a very productive year with the topsides floatover installations on the East Area and Amenam II projects in Nigeria, the P52 project in Brazil and the Kikeh project in Malaysia. All of these technically complex operations were successfully performed. As for the Akpo FPSO in Nigeria, the project is progressing as per our expectations: early February 2007, the construction of the hull was completed by Hyundaï, which is now working on the fabrication of the topsides.

In theÌýOnshore-DownstreamÌýsegment, several projects have been completed and delivered to clients in 2006 including the Gonfreville project in France and the NEB project in Abu Dhabi. The start-up of the first industrial scale Gas-To-Liquids plant (GTL) in Qatar which proved to be longer and more complex than expected, was effective in January 2007. In Qatar and Yemen, the construction of the LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) plants is progressing well: at year-end 2006, more than 44,000 workers were busy on the Ras Laffan and Bal Haf sites.

In theÌýIndustriesÌýsegment, projects engineering is progressing well, and the Compiegne (France) biofuel plant was completed.

In order to cope with the rising demand of its services, the Group continued to strengthen:

  • its staff: the total workforce exceeded 22,000 people at the end of 2006, versus 20,900 at the end of 2005 and 19,100 one year earlier,
  • its production capacity by increasing by 50% and 20% respectively its flexible pipe manufacturing capacity in Vitoria, Brazil, and Le Trait, France,
  • its sub-sea pipeline installation and construction assets with the addition of several new vessels.

Pursuing its non-core asset disposal policy, the Group sold its construction yard located in Corpus Christi, Texas at the beginning of 2006.

In February 2007, the Remotely Operated Vehicle construction activity which was managed by two Technip subsidiaries, Perry Slingsby Ltd and Perry Slingsby Inc, was sold. This disposal, for a total price of $ 78 million, generated after $ 10 million goodwill amortization, a pre-tax capital gain of around $ 15 million which will be booked in the 2007 first quarter.

II. FINANCIALS

A. FULL YEAR 2006

1)ÌýRevenues

At EUR 6,926.5 million, 2006ÌýrevenuesÌýwere up 28.8% compared to 2005.

  • SURFÌýrevenues came to EUR 2,209.2 million, up 22.9% compared to 2005, mainly generated by the Dalia UFL and Greater Plutonio (Angola), Fram Ost, Vilje and Brenda (North Sea), Bidao and PDET (Brazil), Agbami (Nigeria), Stybarrow and Pohokura (Oceania) projects.
  • Offshore FacilitiesÌýrevenues were EUR 1,195.5 million, up 18,0% compared to 2005. The main contributors were the Akpo FPSO project in Nigeria, the Tahiti (Gulf of Mexico) and Kikeh (Malaysia) Spar projects and the TPG 500 delivered for the BP-operated Shah Deniz project (Azerbaïdjan).
  • Onshore-DownstreamÌýactivities showed the highest revenue growth thanks to the strong 2005 order intake in this business segment. From EUR 2,318.2 million in 2005, revenues jumped 43.1% to EUR 3,317.8 million in 2006. Close to one third of this revenue was generated by the LNG projects in Qatar and Yemen. Other main contributors were the Horizon heavy oil project in Canada, the three ethylene steam-crackers projects in Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as well as the refinery in Vietnam.
  • In theÌýIndustriesÌýsegment, following the repositioning performed over the last few years, revenues were down 17.4%. Revenues mainly came from two metals and mining projects: Koniambo in New Caledonia, and Sangaredi in Guinea.

2)ÌýOperating income

Up 55.9% year-on-year, GroupÌýoperating incomeÌýreached EUR 360.1 million. The operating margin ratio was 5.2%, showing a significant progress compared to the 4.3% level recorded in 2005.

  • The biggest increase came from theÌýSURFÌýactivity, which was penalized in 2005 by a one-off charge. Operating income was EUR 213.5 million, up 79.7% compared to 2005. The operating margin ratio rose up 9.7%, compared to 6.6% a year ago.
  • Offshore FacilitiesÌýoperating income was EUR 83.8 million, three times higher than in 2005. The operating margin ratio was 7.0% compared to 2.7% one year earlier. Excluding the GMF capital gain, the operating margin ratio stood at 5.2%.
  • Onshore-DownstreamÌýoperating income was EUR 73.8 million, a year-on-year decrease of 16.4%. For the full year, the operating margin ratio was 2.2% compared to 3.8% in 2005. This lower performance is due to the fact that a significant part of revenues came from new contracts. Technip’s margin recognition policy recognizes very little margin from new contracts. As these projects progress, the operating margin ratio increases through time and should continue to grow in 2007.
  • In theÌýIndustriesÌýbusinessÌýsegment, operating income was EUR 11.3 million, up 88.3% from the previous year. Operating margin ratio was 5.5%, thus confirming the recovery started in 2005 when operating margin ratio was 2.4%.
  • CorporateÌýshowed a charge of EUR 22.3 million, compared to EUR 9.2 million charge in 2005. This is the result of the one-off cost of the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program (EUR 14.9 million in 2006).

3)ÌýResults

Net financialÌýcharges, EUR 61.5 million were down 30.7% compared to 2005. This is mainly due to the conversion of convertible bonds into equity which took place at the end of March 2006.

Income taxÌýwas EUR 94.1 million compared to EUR 43.5 million in 2005. The nominal tax rate stoods at 31.5% compared to 30.6% a year ago.

As per application of IFRS 3, an exceptional goodwill reduction amounted to EUR 9 million was accounted as a non cash tax charge.

Net incomeÌýwas EUR 200.1 million, an increase of 114.5% compared to 2005.

Fully diluted EPS and E/ADSÌýwere EUR 1.95 (up 75.7%) and USD 2.57 (up 75.7%), respectively (compared to EUR 1.11 and USD 1.32, respectively, one year earlier). Excluding the exceptional goodwill reduction, EPS was EUR 2.03 in 2006 (82.9%).

Full year 2006 net income reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) amounted to EUR 213.3 million.

4)ÌýCash, Capex and Balance Sheet

During the year 2006,Ìýnet cashÌýposition grew from EUR 668.1 million to EUR 1,540.3 million (up 130.5%). This increase in net cash was primarily due to the conversion of the convertible bonds into shares (EUR 598.1 million), cash generated from operations (EUR 352.6 million) which was significantly higher than in 2005 (EUR 275.8 million), and the change in the working capital (EUR 594.2 million). Dividends paid in 2006 came to EUR 141.7 million, including the 2007 dividend down payment paid in December 2006. Share buy-backs amounted to EUR 304.5 million and capital expenditures to EUR 157.2 million.

Shareholders’ÌýequityÌýat December 31, 2006 was EUR 2,401.3 million, up 22.9% compared to December 31, 2005.

B. FOURTH QUARTER 2006

RevenuesÌýwere up 43.2% at EUR 1,982.3 million, compared to EUR 1,384.2 million during the same period in 2005.

Operating incomeÌýincreased 270.7% year-on-year at EUR 113.8 million, and included a charge of EUR 8.5 million related to implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program. Operating margin ratio stood at 5.7%.

Net financial chargesÌýamounted EUR 16.7 million, down compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 (EUR 31.5 million).

Income taxÌýwas a charge of EUR 30.7 million compared to a tax credit of EUR 3.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Net incomeÌýwas EUR 63.0 million, much higher than in 2005 (EUR 1.4 million).

Fully diluted EPS and E/ADSÌýwere EUR 0.58 and USD 0.77 respectively (compared to EUR 0.12 and USD 0.14, respectively, one year earlier).

Fourth quarter 2006 net income reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) amounted to EUR 52.8 million.
