INVESTMENTS

Our income from equity affiliates is included in our Subsea segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our income from equity affiliates was $1.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively. Our income from equity affiliates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

Our major equity method investments are as follows:

Dofcon Brasil AS is an affiliated company in the form of a joint venture between TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea and was founded in 2006. Dofcon Brasil AS is a holding company, which owns and controls TechDof Brasil AS and Dofcon Navegacao Ltda, collectively referred to as “Dofcon.” Dofcon provides Pipe-Laying Support Vessels (PLSVs) for work in oil and gas fields offshore Brazil. Dofcon is considered a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, we have accounted for our 50% investment using the equity method of accounting with results reported in our Subsea segment. In June 2023, Dofcon Brasil declared a $170.0 million dividend. TechnipFMC’s 50% share of this dividend is included in other current assets as of June 30, 2023.

Dofcon and Techdof, two 50%-50% legal entities owned in partnership with DOF Group have debts related to loans on its vessels. During 2022, DOF ASA, the parent company of DOF Subsea, underwent a bankruptcy process that triggered cross default provisions in the credit facilities of certain joint ventures associated with the parent company guarantees provided by itself and its wholly owned subsidiary DOF Subsea. During March 2023, DOF ASA completed the process of restructuring (unrelated and outside of the joint venture) and DOF Services AS is the new holding company of DOF Group. The lenders made no claims under the guarantees and the acceleration clauses within the debt instruments were not enforceable as Dofcon and Techdof obtained waivers or consents from the lenders. Dofcon and Techdof continue to service the credit facilities as per the terms of the agreements. As a result of the restructure within DOF Group, the cross default provisions ceased to exist and therefore waivers and consents are no longer required. Accordingly, TechnipFMC has not recognized a liability related to its guarantees. TechnipFMC and DOF, provide guarantees for the debts and our share of the guarantees was $411.2 million as of June 30, 2023.

TechDof Brasil AS owns and operates the Skandi Buzios vessel. During June 2023, a fire occurred onboard the vessel alongside Porto do Açu in Brazil. The fire was brought under control after efforts by the crew and local authorities and no serious injuries were sustained. TechDof Brasil AS and TechnipFMC are cooperating in the investigation of the fire and its cause, and in the process to get the vessel back in operations. As a result of the incident, the Company did not note any impairment indicators which were other than temporary and thus no impairment has been recorded on the carrying value of our investment.
