Definitions of a Business Unit (BU) / Regional Business Unit (RBU) Regional Business Unit and Business Unit – Definition Follows the strategy determined by the Global Business Units Represents the Company (one per geographic area, the ‘Regional Business Unit’) towards clients, local communities and government agencies within the relevant geographic area (where there is more than one Business Unit within a geographic area, the Regional Business Unit will be identified for this role) Reports to one Global Business Units either directly or through a Regional Business Unit Wins business and executes business in the field in accordance with delegations of authority from the Global Business Units and Functions Is responsible (including hierarchically) for all activities of TechnipFMC in a geographic area (i.e. projects, services, functions etc.) unless specified otherwise One selected Business Unit, the ‘Regional Business Unit’, per given geographic area (unless otherwise specified) provides shared support functions to all Business Units and activities1 within a geographic area and also receives services from e.g. GBS, in both cases on a mutually agreed basis Applies the principles and standards defined by Global Business Units, Functions and Products Is the P&L unit followed by the Global Business Unit heads Manages people, sites and entities in a geographic area unless specified otherwise A Business Unit is throughout these slides the unit used within TechnipFMC to cover a geographic area. Therefore a Business Unit will generally cover multiple countries. However, a geographic area can have more than one Business Unit covering it. This note has been written with the proposed TechnipFMC Business Unit organization in mind, where some territories (e.g. APAC) are covered by a Business Unit covering more than one Global Business Unit and some territories (e.g. USA) are covered by multiple Business Units 1) i.e. the default rule is that a Business Unit (the Regional Business Unit) within a geographic area will provide functional services to other Business Units operating in that area.

Speaker Notes - New business and regional structure for TechnipFMC

 

 

Earlier this month, we announced the future business and regional structure that will define the organization of TechnipFMC. This new structure will be implemented following the close of our planned merger.

The following communication should be read in conjunction with the accompanying slide deck. It provides further information about:

 

Global Business Units

 

Global Products

 

Business Units

 

Regional Business Units

Global Business Units (GBUs)

As previously announced, the combined company will have four Global Business Units (GBUs):

 

1.   Surface Technologies led by Richard Alabaster, President Surface Technologies
2.   Subsea Services led by Barry Glickman, President Subsea Services
3.   Subsea Projects led by Hallvard Hasselknippe, President Subsea Projects
4.   Onshore/Offshore led by Nello Uccelletti, President Onshore Offshore

A Global Business Unit:

 

  Sets and directs the strategy for the GBU worldwide
  Delivers a set of objectives including a GBU profit and loss (P&L) center
  Delegates, monitors and controls the business, and risks
  Prioritizes and allocates resources including people and assets
  Sets standards for processes and procedures applicable to the GBU
  Manages key talent and resources company-wide
  Acts as the final arbiter of conflicts

Global Products

The new organization will also have a Global Products Group which will serve the GBUs. The Global Products Group will be led by Julian Waldron, President Global Products. Initially, this group will be structured as product lines supporting the Subsea Projects GBUs. All manufacturing sites within the Subsea Projects GBUs will report to Global Products whilst maintaining their close regional ties.

Business Units (BUs)

A Business Unit is a P&L unit supporting the GBU. It follows the strategy determined by the GBU and is responsible (including hierarchically) for all activities of a GBU in a geographic area (i.e. projects, services, functions, etc.) unless specified otherwise.

BUs and GBUs will operate in a matrix model enabling shared services across BUs. Support functions are shared across BUs unless it is absolutely necessary or more cost efficient to do otherwise.

LOGO    LOGO

 

There are 13 strong and empowered BUs supporting each of the 4 GBUs:

The Surface Technologies GBU includes the following two Business Units:

 

  1. Americas led by Alf Melin including North America, Latin America and Caribbean, Measurement Americas, Loading Systems America, etc.

 

  2. International led by Graham Horn including Europe and CIS, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Rest of Middle East, Measurement International, Loading Systems International, etc.

The Subsea Services GBU includes the following four Business Units:

 

  3. North America led by Jeff Mathews including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Africa

 

  4. South America led by Jose Renato including South and Central America (excluding Trinidad).

 

  5. Europe, Africa, Middle East led by Ove Magne Kallestad including Europe and Russia

 

  6. Asia Pacific led by Michelle Kinnes including Asia, India, Middle East and Australia

The Subsea Projects GBU includes the following four Business Units:

 

  7. North America led by Jon Landes including the US, Canada, Venezuela, Columbia, Caribbean Islands

 

  8. South America led by Nelson Leite including Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname and Fr. Guyana

 

  9. Europe, Africa, Middle East led by Knut Boe including Europe, Russia and Africa

 

  10. Asia Pacific led by Arnaud Piéton including Asia, India, Middle East and Australia

The Onshore/Offshore GBU includes the following three Business Units:

 

  11. North America led by Harvey Vigneault including the US, Canada, Central America & Caribbean, Asia (customer-centric), North Sea (customer-centric)

 

  12. Europe, Africa, Middle East led by Marco Villa including Europe, Russia, Middle East, India, Africa, Latin America

 

  13. Asia Pacific led by Arnaud Piéton including Asia and Australia

Regional Business Units

Among the 13 GBUs, five are Regional Business Units (RBUs) which will manage the shared services for a specific set of countries within a geographic area:

 

1. North America (NAM) led by Jon Landes – Subsea Projects for primarily North American countries including United States, Mexico, Canada

 

2


LOGO    LOGO

 

 

 

2. South America (SAM) led by Nelson Leite – Subsea Projects for primarily South American countries including Brazil and Argentina

 

3. Asia Pacific (APAC) led by Arnaud Piéton – Subsea Projects and Onshore Offshore for primarily Asia-Pacific countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia

 

4. Europe/Africa/Middle East (EAM) led by Knut Boe – Subsea Projects for selected EAM countries like Norway, UK and Angola

 

5. Europe/Africa/Middle East (EAM) led by Marco Villa– Onshore/Offshore for a set of other EAM countries like France, Italy and North Africa

The countries covered by the RBU for shared services and local representation purposes are different from the business coverage by the BU.

The RBU represents the company for a given geographic area toward local communities and government agencies within a relevant geography. It also provides shared services to all activities within a geographic area and also receives services from Global Business Services (GBS), in both cases on a mutually agreed basis. The guiding principle is that the RBU within a geographic area will provide functional services to other BUs operating in the same area.
