Executive Overview
We design, manufacture and service technologically sophisticated systems and products for customers in the energy industry. We have manufacturing operations worldwide, strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products, systems and services to our customers. We report the results of operations in the following segments: Subsea Technologies, Surface Technologies and Energy Infrastructure. Management’s determination of the Company’s reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities and corresponds to the manner in which our chief operating decision maker reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment.
A description of our products and services, as well as annual financial data, for each segment can be found in Part I, Item 1, “Business” and Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussions below include the results of each of our segments for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
We focus on economic and industry-specific drivers and key risk factors affecting our business segments as we formulate our strategic plans and make decisions related to allocating capital and human resources. The following discussion provides examples of economic and industry factors and key risks that we consider. The results of our businesses are primarily driven by changes in exploration and production spending by oil and gas companies, which largely depend upon current and anticipated future crude oil and natural gas demand, production volumes, and consequently, commodity prices. Our Subsea Technologies business is primarily affected by trends in deepwater oil and natural gas production. Our Surface Technologies business is primarily affected by trends in land-based and shallow water oil and natural gas production, including trends in shale production. We use crude oil and natural gas prices as an indicator of demand. The level of worldwide production activity influences spending decisions, and we use rig count as an additional indicator of demand. We also focus on key risk factors when determining our overall strategy and making decisions for allocating capital. These factors include risks associated with the global economic outlook, product obsolescence and the competitive environment. We address these risks in our business strategies, which incorporate continuing development of leading edge technologies and cultivating strong customer relationships.
We have developed close working relationships with our customers. Our Subsea Technologies business results reflect our ability to build long-term alliances with oil and natural gas companies that are actively engaged in offshore deepwater development and to provide solutions for their needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. We believe that by working closely with our customers, we enhance our competitive advantage, strengthen our market positions and improve our operating results.
As we evaluate our operating results, we consider business segment performance indicators like segment revenue, operating profit and capital employed, in addition to the level of inbound orders and order backlog. A significant proportion of our revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting. Cash receipts from such arrangements occur at milestones achieved under stated contract terms. Consequently, the timing of revenue recognition is not always highly correlated with the timing of customer payments. We may structure our contracts to receive advance payments that we typically use to fund engineering efforts and
inventory purchases. Working capital (excluding cash) and net (debt) cash are therefore key performance indicators of cash flows.
In each of our segments, we serve customers from around the world. During 2012, approximately 75% of our total sales were generated from non-U.S. locations. We evaluate international markets and pursue
opportunities that fit our technological capabilities and strategies. For example, we have targeted opportunities in West Africa, Brazil, the North Sea and the Asia-Pacific region because of the expected offshore drilling potential in those regions.
Business Outlook
Overall, management remains optimistic about business activity in 2013, despite expectations of slow global economic growth. While expectations of future energy demand remain closely tied to economic activity in major world economies, total world consumption of crude oil and liquid fuels is expected to slightly increase in 2013. As a result, we currently expect crude oil prices to remain at a level that supports strong exploration and production activity, especially in subsea markets.
Our strong subsea project backlog as of December 31, 2012, combined with increasing demand for subsea services related to exploration and production activity, supports our expectations of higher subsea revenue and increasing margins during 2013. These expectations are partly dependent upon our continued ability to
successfully develop and advance the capacity and capabilities of our supply chain. We believe the workforce we added over the past two years, including increased capacity surrounding supply chain management, and the investments in facilities we have made are properly preparing us to take advantage of the expected subsea market growth. To complement this growth, we expect much of our subsea investment to center on expanding our subsea service offerings and processing capabilities. In 2012, there was evidence that pricing in our subsea technologies business was beginning to improve, and with the expected growth in the subsea market, we believe improved pricing will continue through 2013. Overall, we expect market demand to remain strong for our subsea technologies systems and service offerings worldwide.
Regarding our surface technologies portfolio, North American shale activity was strong during the first half of 2012; however, we experienced a slowdown in capital orders as a result of hydraulic fracturing fleets aligning with market demand during the latter half of 2012. Consequently, the downward market shift in North America in the second half of the year had a negative impact on segment profits in 2012 and is expected to continue through 2013. Despite the weakness in the North American market, our international surface wellhead business performed well in 2012 and is expected to continue to improve as a result of increasing international rig counts. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we completed the acquisition of Pure Energy which will allow us to offer an integrated fracturing rental service, consistent with our strategy for continued expansion in the shale markets and is expected to contribute to revenue and profit in 2013.
