ITEM 1.	BUSINESS	
 
General Development of Business
 
Information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from Note 1 and Note 4 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on pages 58, and 62 through 64, respectively, of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders.
 
Financial Information About Segments
 
Information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from Note 21 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on pages 85 through 88 of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders.
 
Narrative Description of Business
 
The Company is a global leader providing mission-critical solutions, based on innovative, industry-leading technologies, for the energy, food processing, and air transportation industries. The Company designs, manufactures and services sophisticated machinery and systems for its customers through its Energy Systems (comprising Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems), FoodTech and Airport Systems business segments.
 
Information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from pages 10 through 29 of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders.
 
Principal Products
 
Information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled “Strategic Outlook” on pages 28 and 29 of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders and from Note 21 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on page 86 of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders.
 
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
 
The Company purchases carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and steel castings and forgings both domestically and internationally.
 
The Company does not use single source suppliers for the majority of its raw material purchases and believes the available supplies of raw materials are adequate. Moreover, raw materials essential to the Company’s businesses are generally readily available.
 
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
 
The Company owns a number of U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks and licenses that are cumulatively important to its businesses. The Company has approximately 2,000 issued patents and pending patent applications worldwide. Further, the Company licenses certain intellectual property rights to or from third parties. The Company also owns numerous U.S. and foreign trademarks and trade names and has approximately 800 registrations and pending applications in the United States and abroad. The Company does not believe that the loss of any one or group of related patents, trademarks or licenses would have a material adverse effect on the overall business of the Company.
 
2

Seasonality
 
Airport Systems’ sales of deicers are usually greater in the fourth quarter of each year, as customers prepare for severe winter weather. In addition, due to the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable production, sales of certain FoodTech products are typically greater in the second and fourth quarters of each year.
 
Energy Processing Systems’ sales are typically higher in the second half of the fiscal year, primarily attributable to increased seasonal demand for loading systems and measurement solutions.
 
Order Backlog
 
Information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled “Inbound Orders and Order Backlog” on page 41 of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders.
 
Competitive Conditions
 
The Company markets its products primarily through its own technically-oriented sales organization and, in some cases, through independent distributors and sales representatives. The Company conducts business worldwide in more than 100 countries. Energy Production Systems competes with other companies that supply subsea systems and floating production products and with smaller companies that are focused on a specific application, technology or geographical area in the Company’s other product areas. Energy Processing Systems competes with a number of companies in the measurement and transportation industry, some of whom have access to greater resources. FoodTech and Airport Systems compete with a variety of local and regional companies typically focused on a specific application, technology or geographic area, and with a few large multinational companies.
 
The Company competes by leveraging its industry experience to provide advanced technology, integrated systems, high product quality and reliability and quality aftermarket service. The Energy Systems businesses differentiate themselves by the depth of their industry experience, engineering and design capabilities, product performance, integrated systems, global manufacturing capability, quality, reliability, service and price. FoodTech and Airport Systems differentiate themselves on many of the same bases as the Energy Systems businesses – the depth of their industry experience, engineering and design capabilities, product performance, integrated systems, quality, reliability, service and price and, in the food processing industry in particular, on the basis of yield and hygiene.
 
Research and Development
 
Information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from Note 21 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on page 88 of the 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had approximately 8,600 full-time employees. Approximately 4,100 were located in the United States, and approximately 4,500 were located in other countries. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

ITEM 3.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS	
 
The Company and FMC Corporation are named defendants in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies, which contains key provision relating to the 2001 spin-off of the Company from FMC Corporation, FMC Corporation is required to indemnify the Company for certain claims made prior to the spin-off, as well as for other claims related to discontinued operations. The Company expects that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for the majority of these claims. Certain claims have been asserted subsequent to the spin-off; and while the ultimate responsibility for these claims cannot yet be determined due to lack of identification of the products or premises involved, the Company also expects that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for a majority of these claims.
 
In February 2003, the Company initiated court action in the Judicial District Court in Harris County, Texas, against ABB Lummus Global, Inc., seeking recovery of scheduled payments owed and compensatory, punitive and other damages. A trial is currently scheduled to begin in October 2004.
 
In August 2002, the Company initiated court action in the United Kingdom to confirm that certain components of its subsea production systems’ designs do not conflict with a patent issued to Cooper Cameron Corporation in Europe. In response, Cooper Cameron Corporation initiated court action alleging infringement of certain of its U.K. patents. In March 2004, the Company and Cooper Cameron Corporation resolved all claims and disputes related to this litigation. The terms of the settlement include a cross-license of patents between the Company and Cooper Cameron Corporation.
 
While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Exhibit 10.12
 
ISSUING AND PAYING AGENCY AGREEMENT
 
This Agreement is made as of the 3rd day of January, 2004 by and between FMC Technologies, Inc. (the “Issuer”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the  “Agent” ).
 
WHEREAS, at Issuer’s request, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) has agreed to act as Agent for Issuer as of the date hereof specified herein in connection with one or more “Commercial Paper Programs” (as that term is defined in this Agreement) established by the Issuer from time to time; and
 
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Bank shall act as Agent for a Commercial Paper Program.
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms and conditions provided for in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.	APPOINTMENT AND ACCEPTANCE	
 
The Issuer hereby appoints Agent as its issuing and paying agent in connection with the issuance from time to time and payment of certain short-term promissory notes of the Issuer (the  “Notes” ) in connection with Commercial Paper Programs established by the Issuer, as more fully described herein, and Agent agrees to act as such agent upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
 
2.	COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAMS	
 
The Issuer may establish one or more commercial paper programs (a “Commercial Paper Program”) for the issuance of Notes under this Agreement by delivering to Agent a completed program schedule (the  “Program Schedule” ), with respect to  each  such program. Agent has given the Issuer a copy of the current form of Program Schedule and the Issuer shall complete and return its first Program Schedule to Agent prior to or simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. In the event that any of the information provided in, or attached to, a Program Schedule shall change, the Issuer shall promptly inform Agent of such change in writing.
 
3.	NOTES	
 
a. All Notes issued by the Issuer under this Agreement pursuant to a Commercial Paper Program shall be promissory notes having a maturity, at the time of issuance and upon any renewal thereof, not exceeding 365 days, and shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as indicated on the Program Schedules, and from applicable state securities laws. The Notes may be placed by dealers (the “Dealers” ) pursuant to Section 4 hereof. The Notes shall be issued in book-entry form as provided in sub-paragraph (b) below.

b. The Notes shall not be issued in physical form, but their aggregate face amount shall be represented by a master note (the “Master Note” ) in the form of Exhibit A executed by the Issuer pursuant to the book-entry commercial paper program of The Depository Trust Company ( “DTC” ). Agent shall maintain the Master Note in safekeeping, in accordance with its customary practices, on behalf of Cede & Co., the registered owner thereof and nominee of DTC. As long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Master Note, the beneficial ownership interest therein shall be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof shall be effected through, entries on the books maintained by DTC and the books of its direct and indirect participants. The Master Note and the Notes shall be subject to DTC’s rules and procedures, as amended from time to time. Agent shall not be liable or responsible for sending transaction statements of any kind to DTC’s participants or the beneficial owners of the Notes, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records of DTC or its participants with respect to such Notes. In connection with DTC’s program, the Issuer understands that as one of the conditions of its participation therein it shall be necessary for the Issuer and Agent to enter into a Letter of Representations, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and for DTC to receive and accept such Letter of Representations. In accordance with DTC’s program, the Issuer shall obtain from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of CUSIP numbers for the Notes, and shall deliver such list to DTC and to Agent. The CUSIP Service Bureau shall bill the Issuer directly for the fee or fees payable for the list of CUSIP numbers for the Notes.
 
4.	AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES	
 
The Issuer shall deliver to Agent a duly adopted corporate resolution from the Issuer’s Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of Notes under each program established pursuant to this Agreement and a certificate of incumbency, with specimen signatures attached, of those officers, employees and agents, including, without limitation, any Dealers of the Issuer authorized to take certain actions with respect to the Notes as provided in this Agreement (each such person is hereinafter referred to as an  “Authorized Representative” ). Until Agent receives any subsequent incumbency certificates of the Issuer, Agent shall be entitled to rely on the last incumbency certificate delivered to it for the purpose of determining the Authorized Representatives.
 
5.	ISSUANCE INSTRUCTIONS TO AGENT; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE FOR NOTES	
 
The Issuer understands that all instructions under this Agreement are to be directed to Agent’s Corporate Trust Operations Department, and may be given in writing or by telephone, provided a written confirmation of such telephonic instructions is delivered to Agent’s Corporate Trust Operations Department by electronic mail, courier, facsimile transmission, tested telex, or some equally prompt means no later than two hours after Agent’s receipt of such telephonic instructions. In the event that a discrepancy exists between a telephonic instruction and a written confirmation, the telephonic instruction will be deemed the controlling and proper instruction. Agent may electronically record any conversations made pursuant to this Agreement, and the Issuer hereby consents to such recordings. All issuance instructions regarding the Notes must be received by 12 noon, Minneapolis, Minnesota time, in order for the Notes to be issued or
 
2

delivered on the same day. Upon receipt of issuance instructions from the Issuer or its Dealers with respect to the Notes, Agent shall transmit such instructions to DTC and direct DTC to cause appropriate entries of the Notes to be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable rules, regulations and procedures for book-entry commercial paper programs. Agent shall assign CUSIP numbers to the Notes to identify the Issuer’s aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in DTC’s system, together with the aggregate unpaid interest (if any) on such Notes. Promptly following DTC’s established settlement time on each issuance date, Agent shall access DTC’s system to verify whether settlement has occurred with respect to the Notes. Prior to the close of business on such business day, Agent shall deposit immediately available funds in the amount of the proceeds due the Issuer (if any) to the Issuer’s account at Agent and designated in the applicable Program Schedule (the  “Account” ),  provided that  Agent has received DTC’s confirmation that the Notes have settled in accordance with DTC’s applicable rules, regulations and procedures. Agent shall have no liability to the Issuer whatsoever if any DTC participant purchasing a Note fails to settle or delays in settling its balance with DTC or if DTC fails to perform in any respect.
 
6.	USE OF SALES PROCEEDS IN ADVANCE OF PAYMENT	
 
Agent shall not be obligated to credit the Issuer’s Account unless and until payment of the purchase price of each Note is received by Agent. From time to time, Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit the Issuer to have use of funds payable with respect to a Note prior to Agent’s receipt of the sales proceeds of such Note. If Agent makes a deposit, payment or transfer of funds on behalf of the Issuer before Agent receives payment for any Note, such deposit, payment or transfer of funds shall represent an advance by Agent to the Issuer to be repaid promptly, and in any event on the same day as it is made, from the proceeds of the sale of such Note, or by the Issuer if such proceeds are not received by Agent.
 
7.	PAYMENT OF MATURED NOTES	
 
On any day when a Note matures or is prepaid, the Issuer shall transmit, or cause to be transmitted, to the Account, prior to 12 noon, Minneapolis, Minnesota time on the same day, an amount of immediately available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate principal amount of such Note and any applicable interest due. Agent shall pay the interest (if any) and principal on a Note to DTC in immediately available funds, which payment shall be by net settlement of Agent’s account at DTC. Agent shall have no obligation under the Agreement to make any payment for which there is not sufficient, available and collected funds in the Account, and Agent may, without liability to the Issuer, refuse to pay any Note that would result in an overdraft to the Account.
 
3

8.	OVERDRAFTS	
 
An overdraft will exist in an Account if Agent, in its sole discretion, (i) permits an advance to be made pursuant to Section 6 and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6, such advance is not repaid in full on the same day as it is made, or (ii) pays a Note pursuant to Section 7 in excess of the available collected balance in such Account. Overdrafts shall be subject to the imposition of interest. The Issuer shall repay any such overdraft no later than the next business day, together with interest on the overdraft at the rate defined as Wells Fargo Bank’s Prime Rate then in effect plus 2% for the Account, computed from and including the date of the overdraft to the date of repayment (but not including the date of repayment).
 
9.	NO PRIOR COURSE OF DEALING	
 
No prior action or course of dealing on the part of Agent with respect to payments of matured Notes shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by the Issuer against Agent in the event that Agent refuses to pay or settle any Notes for which the Issuer has not timely provided funds as required by this Agreement.
 
10.	INFORMATION FURNISHED BY AGENT	
 
Upon the reasonable request of the Issuer, Agent shall promptly provide the Issuer with information with respect to any Note issued and paid hereunder.
 
11.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES	
 
The Issuer represents and warrants that it has the right, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement. The Issuer further represents and warrants that each Note, when issued and distributed upon its instruction pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and shall be issued in a transaction which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities law.
 
12.	DISCLAIMERS	
 
Neither Agent nor its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any act or omission under this Agreement except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. IN NO EVENT SHALL AGENT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION. In no event shall Agent be considered negligent in consequence of complying with DTC’s rules, regulations and procedures. The duties and obligations of Agent, its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement and they shall not be liable
 
4

except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein and no implied covenants shall be read into this Agreement against them. Neither Agent nor its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be required to ascertain whether any issuance or sale of any Notes (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Issuer is a party (whether or not Agent is also a party to such agreement).
 
13.	INDEMNIFICATION	
 
The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by or asserted or assessed against Agent or any of them arising out of Agent or any of them acting as the Issuer’s agent under this Agreement, except for such liability, claim, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. This indemnity will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Results At A Glance
 
FMC Technologies is growing stronger. In 2003, we grew earnings 18 percent over 2002, and since our initial public offering (IPO) in 2001 we have averaged 17 percent growth annually in earnings per share. We continued to generate strong cash flow, which allowed us to reduce our net debt to $193 million at year end while investing $50 million for a controlling interest in CDS Engineering and eliminating $36 million of sale-lease-back obligations. Order backlog grew to a record high of $1.26 billion, primarily from strong subsea order inbound. We improved our global market positions through selective acquisitions, investments in technologies and building on our alliances with major customers.
 
Our track record since our IPO in 2001 shows that we are committed to continuous growth and high returns. We have consistently grown earnings per share. We have paid down debt and increased our return on investment to 14 percent. We have invested in our high-growth subsea portfolio, both internally and through acquisition. And FMC Technologies’ talented team of employees has prepared your company to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Although 2003 was just FMC Technologies’ second full year of operations as a separate company, we are proud of our company and its record of achievements.
 
Growing Stronger Through Improved Financial Results
 
We are extremely pleased with our progress over the past three years and our results in 2003:
 
 	•	Since the formation of FMC Technologies, our growth in earnings per share has been strong: $0.82 in 2001 (pro forma), $0.96 in 2002, before the effect of an accounting change, and $1.13 in 2003. This is a 38 percent increase, compared to a 40 percent decrease in the earnings per share of the Oil Service Index (OSX), an index that includes many of our peer companies.	
 
 	•	Overall revenues in 2003 of $2.3 billion were 11 percent above the prior year. Energy Systems’ revenues increased 17 percent to $1.57 billion. Revenues in FoodTech were up 6 percent and Airport Systems sales were down 9 percent.	
 
 	•	Our strong cash flow generated from operations enabled us to conclude 2003 with debt, net of cash, down to $193 million. Since becoming a separately traded company in 2001, we have reduced our debt by $175 million, including debt allocated to us at the time of our spin-off and the elimination of certain sale-leaseback obligations.	
 
 	•	At year-end 2003, our backlog reached a record high of $1.26 billion, up 9 percent over 2002, with all business segments achieving increased backlog. We have successfully capitalized on the secular growth trend in subsea, which accounted for our greatest backlog increase.	

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	2	 	 	

 	•	In 2003, revenues from our subsea business of $817 million grew 20 percent from 2002 revenues of $680 million – this was the second year of 20 percent or higher revenue growth.	
 
 	•	Subsea orders in 2003 increased $150 million over 2002, resulting in a 41 percent market share in subsea tree inbound orders, as reported by Quest Offshore.	
 
 	•	Since our IPO, we have continued to invest in our energy portfolio through both external acquisition and internal product development.	
 
Strong Stock Performance
 
As measured by our stock price, 2003 was a positive year for FMC Technologies’ investors – including approximately 68 percent of our U.S. employees who own our stock. Our stock was up 14 percent for the year, ahead of the 8 percent increase in the OSX, but trailing the 26 percent increase in the S&P 500 Index.
 
Since our IPO in 2001, our stock is up 16.5 percent compared to a decline of almost 25 percent in the OSX and a decline of 14 percent in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. We are pleased with our stock’s performance relative to our peer group and believe we are positioned to benefit from any recovery in the OSX.
 
Strong Businesses
 
At the core of our success are industry-leading businesses, including our Energy Systems businesses, which accounted for approximately 68 percent of our 2003 total revenue, as well as our FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses. The strength of these businesses is the foundation for our growth. Throughout our history, we have practiced five essential principles that have consistently enabled us to build our industry-leading positions:
 
 	•	Listen to the customer,	
 
 	•	Create solutions,	
 
 	•	Innovate continuously,	
 
 	•	Maximize value, and	
 
 	•	Win with teamwork.	
 
We improved our global market positions in 2003 by maintaining our portfolio of successful businesses, investing in selective acquisitions, developing advanced technologies and continuing the expansion of our alliances with major customers by offering solutions-oriented products and services. Our high market shares in our businesses reflect the application of these principles.
 
Strong Energy Technologies
 
In 2003, we continued to invest in the acquisition and development of technologies that will help build our future. Our technology development is driven by the needs of our customers and our commitment to provide them with the most effective solutions for their challenges.
 
In Energy Production Systems, our High Pressure/High Temperature subsea solution for both the Thunder Horse and Princess projects was an industry technology first, capable of operating under pressures of 15,000 psi and temperatures up to 350ºF. The challenges of supporting projects in ever-increasing water depths will continue to drive additional technology innovations.
 
We acquired a controlling interest in CDS Engineering, headquartered in the Netherlands, which has developed unique separation technology for the oil and gas industry. We believe this technology has the potential to advance our subsea processing capabilities. We are working closely with Statoil and Petrobras to develop our subsea processing technology.
 
We successfully introduced our riserless light well intervention technology developed for Statoil and continued to work on the development of an all-electric subsea production system. Riserless light well interventions are performed from dynamically positioned vessels, providing substantial savings over large, anchored drilling rigs designed for more complex operations. The all-electric subsea system will be simpler to operate than conventional systems, which rely on hydraulics.
 
We also formed a joint venture company, GTL MicroSystems, for the commercial development of gas-to-liquids technology. Our unique approach will enable small volumes of stranded and associated gas reserves to be monetized by converting them to liquid form with a small footprint plant that can be located on floating vessels, such as those operated by our joint venture company, MODEC International LLC.
 
In Energy Processing Systems, we are making a number of technology advancements in our measurement business, particularly with multiphase and ultrasonic metering. Multiphase metering promises to set new standards for operational efficiency, and our highly accurate ultrasonic meters feature advanced electronics for remote operation and diagnostics.

Energy Systems Strength Drives Earnings Growth
 
Since our company’s formation, the driver behind our strength and growth in earnings has been our Energy Systems business – in particular, our subsea business within Energy Production Systems. Our subsea systems business again drove our 2003 results, supplemented by the improved performance of our surface wellhead and fluid control businesses, which benefited from increased drilling activity. Our results reflect successful execution of our strategy of forming alliances with the major oil companies, providing them with the mission-critical technology they need, and working with them to bring technical solutions on-line quickly and reliably.
 
Production and delivery of subsea trees and systems remained at high levels throughout 2003, especially for BP’s Thunder Horse, Shell’s Princess and Kerr-McGee’s Gunnison projects in the Gulf of Mexico, reflecting the continued success of our strategic alliances with these producers. We also provided subsea solutions for ExxonMobil’s Zafiro and Norsk Hydro’s Oseberg-J projects. However, a number of orders for subsea equipment were delayed in 2003 as many large projects, particularly offshore West Africa, experienced delays.
 
In our floating production business in 2003, we participated in the successful completion of projects such as Shell’s Bijupirá and Salema Floating Production, Storage and Offloading project offshore Brazil, the Esso Chad Floating Storage and Offloading project offshore Cameroon, and others. The Sonatrach contract for offloading petroleum in Algeria experienced some delays as the location of the buoys was changed to accommodate our customer’s requests.
 
Oilfield activity levels improved in 2003, which had a positive effect on most of our other Energy Systems businesses, especially surface wellhead in Energy Production Systems and fluid control in Energy Processing Systems, which are driven by rig activity. Rig counts in the United States were up about 24 percent in 2003 from 2002.

Strengthening Economy Stimulates FoodTech’s Business
 
In 2003, our FoodTech business began to benefit from economic recovery in the United States, while experiencing strong demand in Asia and softening conditions in Europe. Meanwhile, we advanced the growth of our food-related equipment businesses in South America.
 
Food companies continued to consolidate during 2003. During the past few years, Pilgrim’s Pride acquired the poultry processing operations of ConAgra, and combinations were completed between IBP and Tyson, General Mills and Pillsbury, and Del Monte and Heinz.
 
Some food companies – especially in the United States – are cautiously proceeding with capital spending programs that they had previously deferred because of industry consolidation and cost containment. In 2003, we slowly began to experience the benefits of their resumption of capital investment activities.
 
Our industry-leading technologies and strong customer relationships have enabled us to work closely with our key customers in developing solutions for their food processing challenges, particularly in the critical area of food safety. This year, we introduced a new suite of control systems and software for processors, which will facilitate more product uniformity, traceability and safety. Our new generation GYRoCOMPACT ®  freezer introduced in late 2002 sets a new industry standard for hygienic design. Food safety remains a key issue for the industry and an opportunity for our FoodTech business to provide innovative solutions through the combination of industry-leading technology, products and services.
 
We also provided poultry, pork, beef and fish processors with highly efficient portioning technology through the introduction of our new, state-of-the-art DSI ™  portioning systems. This has enabled us to expand our customer base for these systems in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Stronger Market Activity Benefits Airport Systems
 
We began to see some bottoming of trends affecting our commercial airline equipment business in 2003, and, as a result, we saw increased order activity for Jetway ®  passenger boarding bridges and ground support equipment. Most of the orders were from overseas airlines, air freight transporters, ground handling companies and municipalities.
 
Our Halvorsen program continued in 2003 but with fewer deliveries than in 2002. In late 2003, the Air Force secured additional Fiscal Year 2004 funding for the Halvorsen loader, and the 2004 order is the first step in taking the Halvorsen program beyond its original 264 units to the revised 618 unit requirement determined by the Air Force in early 2003.
 
During 2003 we continued our efforts to make appropriate adjustments to our product lines and cost structure. We believe we have weathered the bulk of a significant downturn in the airline and air freight industry and are positioned to take advantage of economic conditions as they improve. In 2003, we acquired the RampSnake ®  baggage loading system product line from SAS, parent company of Scandinavian Airlines. This technology targets the growing needs of the discount point-to-point carriers such as Southwest, JetBlue and others utilizing large fleets of narrow-body aircraft.

Our success is ultimately determined by our people and their commitment to customer support, quality, environmental protection and employee safety. Working with our customers and vendors, our employees develop technology, equipment and systems that serve our customers’ requirements. They make our alliances work. They create the solutions that meet customer needs. The job of our management team is to attract and retain talented and loyal team members, and we believe we have been successful in all of our businesses.
 
With our employees, we believe nothing is more important than providing them with a safe place to work. Our safety record is the best in the industry. We have demanding environmental, health and safety requirements in each of our businesses and an aggressive safety audit program. In our businesses, safety results are a key factor in management compensation.
 
We recognize that our reputation for integrity and ethical dealings is our most important asset. Trust is at the center of our relationships with our investors, employees, customers and vendors.
 
[GRAPHIC]

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	6	 	 	

Throughout the organization, our employees are required to annually review and certify their acceptance of our ethics guidelines. These guidelines are available on our Web site. All of our employees have access to computerized training and a third-party administered hotline to report potential ethics violations. Although mindful of the risks presented by an organization with thousands of employees and a global reach, we believe that through leadership, training, vigilance and a strong ethical compass, we can preserve the trust we have worked so hard to earn among all of our stakeholders.
 
With all of our investors, customers and other stakeholders, we also know that we will be judged by our actions, not our words. At the top, our Board of Directors maintains strong Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees composed entirely of outside directors. Our Audit Committee oversees a rigorous financial control process throughout our company. Our Compensation Committee is dedicated to ensuring that our management team’s pay reflects our investors’ interests. The Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee provides oversight and guidance on director qualifications and our corporate governance practices. The charters for these committees and our Corporate Governance Principles are posted on our Web site, and I encourage you to review them.

Outlook For 2004
 
For 2004, we expect improvements in all of our segments. Based on the factors that we currently observe, we believe earnings will improve rather strongly for our Energy Processing Systems segment and slightly for Energy Production Systems, FoodTech and Airport Systems.
 
In Energy Production Systems, our fourth quarter backlog gives us a solid platform for 2004. We should benefit from a full year’s results of our separation systems business. Also, in early 2004 we signed a revised contract with Sonatrach for their oil loading project offshore Algeria, removing uncertainty from the contract’s scope and schedule. We expect a breakeven profit level on this contract. A few large subsea project awards continue to be delayed, and there is uncertainty about the impact that new owners will have on one of our subsea competitors.
 
In Energy Processing Systems, we expect to see increased demand from service companies for WECO®/Chiksan® products. We also anticipate continuing strong demand for marine loading arms used in liquefied natural gas (LNG) loading and unloading, where we have a leading market position.
 
In our FoodTech business, we anticipate the continuing recovery of our North American markets. We also believe this segment will benefit as food handling and food sterilization equipment continue on a positive trend.
 
In Airport Systems, we expect the commercial businesses will continue to benefit from gradual incremental volume improvements.
 
In summary, based on our solid backlog position entering the year, we expect earnings per share in 2004 to be in the vicinity of 10 percent higher than in 2003.
 
Our technology and market positions, combined with the outstanding capabilities of our employees, will continue to serve us well as FMC Technologies enters its third full year of operation as an independent company.

Sincerely,

From the CFO
 
We believe that shareholder value is increased by earning returns from our deployment of capital that exceed our cost of capital. Employing more capital at higher returns creates shareholder value. High returns on capital indicate that a business is well-managed and possesses advantages over its competition.
 
As you will read on the following pages, all of our businesses utilize technology to provide unique solutions to our customers. Additionally, we capitalize on high market shares and customer alliances to increase profits and reduce the capital we employ in our businesses. Also, a relentless attention to detail characterizes the way we manage our businesses – from satisfying customer requirements to managing inventories and supply chains to receiving customer payments.
 
We align our management compensation program with the goal of creating and increasing shareholder value. Our incentive compensation is based on increasing the net contribution from our businesses and growing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). We define net contribution as net income of a business unit, less a charge for the capital used in the business.
 
This methodology is used within each of our businesses to ensure consistent decision-making and incentives. Since our formation, we have been successful in growing our returns on investment, thereby increasing our net contribution. The charts to the right illustrate our progress compared with our peers in the oilfield service industry (OSX) and other industrial companies (S&P 500). During the two-year period presented, our EBITDA has grown significantly more than the S&P 500, while the OSX has declined. At the same time, our return on investment has outperformed both of these indices, delivering greater shareholder value.
 
Our ability to manage the businesses in this manner is based on the generation of timely, accurate financial information. While our company is fairly new, we have inherited a strong financial control culture. That culture begins at the top of the organization and is reinforced by financial control systems and internal audits.
 
In a year when the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation impacted many aspects of U.S. corporations, the finance function was probably impacted the most. During 2003, we spent considerable resources documenting and testing the effectiveness of our internal financial control systems to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The results of our testing procedures indicate that we are compliant with the new regulations. Our commitment to ensuring strong financial controls and credible financial statements is an integral part of our goal of increasing shareholder value.

Our focus is on providing excellent technology in a way that is cost efficient for our customers, with outstanding execution, on-time delivery, great reliability and safety. We keep our alliance partners and long-term customers by continuing to focus on those factors.
 
While we tend to talk a lot about the major producers with whom we have alliances, all our customers are important. Whether a project involves a single tree or the most complex multi-well project with manifolds and sophisticated controls, we apply our capabilities and resources to provide the customer’s solution.
 
Technology is one of our most important competitive strengths. The advancement of our technology is driven by customer needs and requirements. We also have an outstanding safety record, another of our competitive strengths. We are highly regarded throughout the industry for our safety performance, and safety is a very important factor when major producers select a supplier.
 
In 2004, we will continue to focus on the equipment, technology and service needs of our customers. We will execute our projects – deliver on time, provide solid engineering solutions and offer outstanding installation and safety. We will focus on ways to further reduce our costs and will take further steps in our efforts to globalize our engineering capabilities.
 
Following the scheduled SAP implementation in Houston in 2004, all of our major locations will be able to run on one common ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system worldwide. This will allow more standardized approaches in managing our business and will help reduce costs.
 
West Africa is the greatest potential growth area for our subsea business. Operators there have found very prolific offshore wells that are conducive to a subsea solution, with a floating production vessel or Spar serving as the host facility.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	10	 	 	

The primary challenge in West Africa will not be of a technological nature due to water depth. The water depth offshore West Africa is typically 3,000 to 4,000 feet, which is not nearly as great as the depths being encountered in the Gulf of Mexico. Requirements for local sourcing will pose one of the biggest challenges, necessitating that we incorporate more local content, in a cost-competitive manner, into the solutions we provide.

In the West Africa region in 2003, we supplied systems for ExxonMobil’s Zafiro project.
 
energy production systems
 
The creation of innovative technology solutions for increasingly deep and technically challenging subsea environments has provided a significant competitive advantage for our Energy Production Systems business. The ongoing development of large offshore oilfields, coupled with our expertise and technical capabilities in subsea production systems, continues to drive the growth of our energy businesses.
 
The most significant and sophisticated subsea technology delivered by Energy Production Systems in 2003 was the High Pressure/High Temperature (HP/HT) solution developed for BP’s Thunder Horse project and also implemented in Shell’s Princess project. This technology was specifically designed for water depths as great as 10,000 feet. At that depth, production equipment has to be able to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures. Our HP/HT subsea tree is the first vertical subsea tree in the industry designed to handle production pressures of 15,000 psi and temperatures of 350ºF, in ultra-deep waters. Princess is Shell’s first subsea project to employ 15,000 psi-rated equipment.

 	 	11	 	Energy Production Systems	

[GRAPHIC]
 
A number of subsea systems for our North Sea and West Africa projects were supplied from our Dunfermline, Scotland, facilities in 2003.
 
The HP/HT solution we developed and delivered for Thunder Horse included the world’s first 15,000 psi open-water riser system rated to 10,000 feet of water depth. The system was designed to resist material fatigue by dealing with a wide range of changing forces, such as ocean currents, water pressure, vessel motions and wave actions, over long periods of time. Additionally, by employing a highly sophisticated control system, the riser is designed to facilitate multiple operations – completion, well testing, intervention and workover – on a large number of wells in succession, while affording a high degree of safety and protection for the environment.
 
We took another step forward in 2003 to advance our research and development efforts relating to subsea processing with the acquisition of a controlling interest in CDS Engineering. We acquired 55 percent ownership in CDS, with a commitment to purchase the remaining 45 percent in 2009. We believe CDS’ success in oil, gas and water separation technologies, operating on offshore platforms and Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels, is a good addition to our portfolio of capabilities. Further, CDS’ industry-leading separation technologies will complement our subsea processing efforts and should enable us to develop that technology more rapidly.
 
Subsea processing is an emerging technology in the industry, because it offers considerable benefits. First, it can significantly reduce the capital investment required for floating vessels or platforms, since the integration of processing capabilities will not be required. Also, if separation is performed on the seabed, the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid going from the seabed to the surface is alleviated. This allows the well to flow more efficiently, accelerating production and enabling higher recoveries from the subsea reservoir.
 
Revenue
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Energy Production Systems’ 2003 sales of $1.14B grew 21% from 2002, on the strength of the subsea business, which has grown significantly over the past several years.
 
Subsea sales were $494M in 2001 and grew to $817M in 2003, a 65% increase over the two-year period.
 
Our surface wellhead and floating production systems businesses also grew in 2003. Surface wellhead sales grew 20% as rig count increases drove higher activity in the business. Floating production systems sales grew 24%, as we executed several new orders.
 
Operating Profit
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Energy Production Systems’ profit of $66M improved 31% from 2002. Operating margins improved to 5.8% of sales, as margins in both the surface wellhead and subsea businesses improved in 2003. Margins in floating production systems were lower year-over-year, due to the impact of the sales to Sonatrach of $53M at a breakeven level.

A test rig is used at GTL MicroSystems to help develop Gas-To-Liquids technology.
 
Another technology development in which we played a significant role in 2003 is Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI). This technology was developed over a three-year period by FMC Technologies in conjunction with Statoil and Prosafe. In 2003, the reliability and operational success of RLWI was proven through operations on Statoil’s Statfjord North, Asgard and Visund fields in the North Sea. We believe that by enabling intervention into the subsea well from a dynamically positioned vessel, this technology is capable of substantially reducing the cost of subsea intervention over conventional methods. In addition to reducing operating costs, RLWI also extends the producing life of the well and improves recovery rates from subsea fields.
 
Our continuing efforts to develop innovative technologies also led us to form a joint venture company, GTL MicroSystems, with United Kingdom-based Accentus plc, a subsidiary of AEA Technology plc, for the commercial development of Gas-To-Liquids (GTL) technology. We have a majority ownership interest in the joint venture. A significant portion of the world’s natural gas exists in small, stranded reserves or is associated with oil production. These reserves are difficult to exploit economically using current GTL or liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology. However, GTL MicroSystems believes its technology will allow commercial extraction of gas reserves as small as 10 million standard cubic feet per day, which is the equivalent of 1,000 barrels per day, at lower per-barrel capital costs than those of traditional, large-scale plants.
 
We also continued to add to our strategic customer alliances in 2003. In addition to our existing agreements with BP and Shell in the Gulf of Mexico and Norsk Hydro and Statoil in the North Sea, we entered into an alliance with Kerr-McGee for their subsea projects in the Gulf of Mexico and were chosen as a preferred supplier by Woodside Energy, one of the most active subsea producers in the Far East.
 
Inbound Orders / Order Backlog
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Energy Production Systems’ inbound orders were $3M above 2002 levels as the 20% increase in subsea project awards year-over-year exceeded the large inbound in 2002 for the $240M Sonatrach contract.
 
We delivered record subsea inbound of $888M in 2003. Our subsea inbound is 74% of Energy Production Systems’ 2003 inbound orders.
 
Capital Employed
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
All years at December 31.
 
Energy Production Systems’ capital employed increased $59M, primarily as a result of the acquisition of CDS Engineering; however, utilization of that capital improved. Operating working capital improvements were realized in the subsea business. Increases in capital expenditures for internal subsea development and increases in capital associated with the weaker U.S. dollar offset operating working capital reductions.

Our agreement with Woodside Energy – the first of its type in the Australian region – was achieved through an effort involving our team members in Norway, Singapore and Australia. The agreement is for five years, with options for extension. It covers the supply and support of subsea systems, including wellheads, subsea trees, subsea controls, manifolds and flowline tie-in and intervention systems, as well as engineering and life-of-field services. The agreement covers Woodside Energy’s requirements for future subsea oil and gas developments, initially offshore Australia, but with potential for global application. Woodside Energy anticipates the agreement will help them realize significant savings through the standardization of subsea technology for use across a range of offshore projects that are in development.
 
Our initial project under the Woodside Energy preferred supplier agreement was Woodside Energy’s Enfield project, a major development offshore Western Australia. This agreement includes 13 subsea trees, production controls, associated systems and technical services related to installation and startup.
 
West Africa is our largest potential growth area, and in 2003 our subsea and floating production systems businesses received a large order in that region from CNR International. We signed an agreement with CNR International to supply subsea and mooring systems for the Baobab project offshore Ivory Coast. The project includes our supply of 12 subsea trees and associated structures, four manifolds and production control systems, connection systems for flowlines and umbilicals, and an external turret mooring system that will connect the subsea manifolds to an FPSO vessel.
 
Also in the West Africa region, we continued to supply equipment and services to a subsidiary of ExxonMobil for a project offshore Equatorial Guinea. Subsea systems work continues for Mobil Equatorial Guinea’s Zafiro Southern Expansion Area project. Our floating systems business also was chosen last year to supply a mooring system for the Kizomba B project offshore Angola. We also continued to supply equipment and services for extensions from Total’s Girassol field development offshore Angola.
 
In 2003, we continued activities in Brazilian waters as well. We delivered five subsea production manifolds and a pipeline end termination structure for Shell’s Bijupirá and Salema project offshore Brazil. Additionally, our joint venture partner, MODEC International LLC, provided the FPSO for this project on time and on budget. We also continued to supply subsea equipment and services to our

longstanding customer, Petrobras. We supplied Petrobras with drill pipe risers, used in drilling and completion operations, a complement to our traditional subsea systems technology. Petrobras has been one of our major customers since the inception of subsea technology.
 
In the North Sea region, we continued to receive subsea system orders under our frame agreement with Norsk Hydro. We signed an agreement with Norsk Hydro to supply subsea systems and related services for the first phase development of the Ormen Lange field in the North Sea. The Ormen Lange field is the largest undeveloped gas field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Our agreement covers eight subsea trees and related equipment, as well as an option for additional subsea systems for later phases of development. We also signed agreements to supply subsea systems for Norsk Hydro’s Oseberg-J and Oseberg Vestflanken projects in the North Sea. We also formed a company, FieldCare, with Statoil, to provide subsea life-of-field maintenance services in the North Sea region.
 
A number of subsea developments we supplied achieved first oil production in 2003. Shell’s Na Kika, Princess and Habanero projects, as well as Kerr-McGee’s Gunnison project, all in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, produced first oil in 2003. In addition, Shell’s Bijupirá and Salema project, offshore Brazil, achieved first production in the latter part of the year.
 
We also achieved success in 2003 in the market for jack-up rigs operating in shallow water. These are used primarily by the independent oil and gas companies. For these customers, we supplied shallow water subsea trees, designed for about 300 feet or so of water depth. These were employed primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in some international locations.
 
In our surface wellhead business, we supplied well systems for a number of offshore platforms, Spars and Tension Leg Platforms (TLP). The surface wellhead business won an alliance with Anadarko Petroleum for its offshore platform work in the Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, our surface wellhead business supplied the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations, in the United Arab Emirates, under multi-year contracts. We also supplied surface wellheads to Saudi Aramco under a multi-year contract.

In mature markets, our technology separates us from the competition and helps us maintain strong leadership positions. Our market-leading technologies enable us to add value to our customers’ operations. We not only provide performance enhancements, we also provide technology that lowers costs – and we share the benefits with our customers. For example, our fluid control business’ investments in triple step swivel joints and ULT plug valves have created performance characteristics that exceed the competition’s products by a factor of two or three times. The end user of those products gets the benefit of advanced technology and operational longevity at competitive prices – that is a great economic benefit for our customers, which keeps us competitively strong. We offer additional benefits to our customers by combining technologies across our product lines.
 
Growing demand for electricity is providing impetus for the growth of our businesses. Much of the power generation needed to satisfy future demand is expected to be fueled by natural gas, including LNG, and our businesses are involved in making this fuel available. We supply high-pressure fittings and valves for well construction and stimulation, metering systems for the natural gas pipeline infrastructure, and loading systems for LNG terminals. However, power generation demand is expected to exceed available supplies of natural gas, thereby requiring coal as an additional fuel source. That should help increase the market opportunities for our material handling systems, which are used to support coal-fired power generation facilities.
 
As demand for LNG grows, we believe that our leadership position in LNG loading systems technology worldwide should continue to grow, particularly in offshore and constant motion LNG transfer applications. We have the mooring technology in Energy Production Systems’ floating production systems business and the fluid handling components in our loading systems business. The combination of those

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	16	 	 	

gives us an impressive portfolio to support offshore transfer LNG applications.
 
Our overall strategies include executing effectively, maintaining superior technology and carefully managing our business investment, thereby generating acceptable returns and growing our businesses. We will grow by introducing new products, penetrating new markets and investing in those businesses with the highest incremental margins.

energy processing systems
 
Energy Processing Systems consists of four businesses – measurement solutions, loading systems, blending and transfer systems, and fluid control – each of which provides industry-leading technology primarily focused on infrastructure replacement or expansion to support existing or new production and/or refined products. Our market strength is enhanced by the ability to combine various technologies to satisfy the broader scope required by our larger, more sophisticated customers.
 
In measurement solutions, the core business focuses on high accuracy, custody transfer applications utilizing industry-leading metering technologies for both liquid and gas. These technologies, combined with advanced electronic and controls capabilities, position us as one of the leading suppliers of large, sophisticated measurement systems used on pipelines and in terminals around the world.
 
We continue to make investments in emerging measurement technologies such as ultrasonic and multiphase flow meters. We are one of a few suppliers of multi-path, ultrasonic flow meters for custody transfer of natural gas. We have

 	 	17	 	Energy Processing Systems	

established a relationship with a subsidiary of Gazprom, the Russian gas producing company, to produce and market these meters to our Russian customers.
 
Traditionally, quantities of produced oil, gas and liquids from a well have to be separated in order to measure them. Multiphase meters simultaneously measure all three. In cooperation with our Norwegian partner, FlowSys, we have begun to make significant progress producing and manufacturing non-radioactive source, multiphase meters for a wide range of applications, replacing traditional separation and test technology. In recent tests on the North Slope of Alaska, the meter outperformed competitive alternatives and is positioned for a broader transition to multiphase technology in 2004.
 
We are the world’s leading supplier of loading systems for marine and truck/railcar applications. Our Chiksan® technology is utilized throughout the world in the most demanding applications, including the loading and offloading of LNG. The heart of the LNG loading system is swivel technology. Our LNG loading arms incorporate the most thoroughly tested swivel technology in the industry, having withstood several million cycles to meet industry standards for loading arms installed in exposed locations. In 2003, we also introduced an advanced emergency release system and hydraulic coupler, designed to help promote reliable and safe loading/offloading operations.
 
In 2003, our loading systems business supplied a number of systems in various locations worldwide. We received major loading system orders for LNG terminals in Norway, the United Kingdom, India and Nigeria. We also supplied loading systems for crude oil pipeline and refinery applications in North America, the Middle East and Russia. Loading systems for integrated projects, incorporating both marine terminals and trucks/railcars, were supplied in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Revenue
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Energy Processing Systems’ 2003 sales of $432M improved 9% over 2002.
 
Sales improvements resulted from increased demand for WECO®/Chiksan® products and measurement solutions and the impact of foreign exchange. While our businesses that cycle with rig count did not respond as quickly as we would have hoped to the rig count improvements in 2003, we expect they will benefit from increased rig activity in 2004.
 
Operating Profit
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Energy Processing Systems’ operating profit of $30M improved 12% over 2002. Operating profit improvements were driven by the demand from service companies and margin improvements in measurement solutions. Overall margins improved in the segment on the strength of our WECO ® /Chiksan ®  product lines.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	18	 	 	

Our blending and transfer business has established a strong position with major lubricant producers, such as ExxonMobil, providing the hardware and controls that compose the core blending package. In 2003, this business moved beyond its lubricant industry focus into gasoline blending and optimization. Initial orders in Romania with Rompetrol and the state-owned oil company, Petrom, have led to numerous additional opportunities in Eastern Europe and Russia. We continue to work closely with the U.S. Trade Development Agency to identify commercial projects that can be supported with funding from U.S. sources.
 
Within blending and transfer, our material handling business provides conveying equipment and systems used primarily in the coal industry. In 2003, we signed an agreement with Bechtel Power Corporation for the design and supply of a coal handling system for a 400-megawatt power plant, adjacent to Tucson Electric Power’s Springerville, Arizona, generating station. The coal handling system, which will be designed to handle Powder River Basin coals as well as local coal, will include unloading, transfer, conveying and crushing equipment as well as dust collection and control systems. Several other projects for coal-fired power plant projects remain active in the U.S. to support growing power generation needs.
 
Our fluid control business is the world’s leading supplier of high-pressure fittings and valves utilized by major oilfield service companies, such as Schlumberger, BJ Services and Halliburton, for well construction and stimulation activities. The business typically tracks closely with variations in active rigs throughout the world. This resulted in solid performance in 2003 and gives the business a positive outlook for 2004. We add value for our fluid control customers with our asset management capabilities, and we are introducing a new asset management software system in 2004. The new software will give us greater ability to extract data for the purpose of helping our fluid control customers manage and more effectively utilize their high-pressure flowline assets. Additionally, our asset management activities give us insight into the equipment use and needs of our fluid control customers.
 
Fluid control also is a leading supplier of high-pressure, compact manifolds used primarily on offshore production facilities where weight and space are at a premium. This portion of the business was active in 2003, including the supply of surface manifold systems for major offshore projects such as Kizomba B in West Africa, Su Tu Den in Vietnam, Kiari and Canteen in Trinidad and P-50 for Petrobras in Brazil.
 
Within fluid control, we expanded our reciprocating pump product line to include models suited for higher pressures and capacities more frequently used in the oil and gas industry. This enabled us to receive orders for a number of projects worldwide, with applications including blowout prevention, closed drain, chemical injection, crude oil transfer, water disposal, glycol injection and methanol systems. Our success in these efforts in 2003 positions us for additional growth in this product line in 2004.
 
Inbound Orders / Order Backlog
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Energy Processing Systems recorded inbound of $459M in 2003, versus 2002 inbound of $400M. The 15% increase is due in large part to increased service company and marine loading arm demand. Our measurement solutions and material handling businesses also recorded increased orders.
 
Backlog of $137M at year-end 2003 was 25% above 2002 year-end levels.
 
Capital Employed
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
All years at December 31.
 
In Energy Processing, the carrying amount of goodwill was reduced by a $98M impairment loss recognized upon adoption of an accounting standard during 2002. In 2003, capital employed increased $12M over 2002 levels, due to the retirement of certain sale-leaseback obligations that increased our fixed assets but reduced overall costs. We saw increases in our operating working capital driven by higher fourth quarter 2003 sales.

Our strategy is to offer our customers solutions, not just equipment. We focus on solving customer problems and providing the service to keep the solutions in place.
 
The food processing industry is predominantly centered in North America and Western Europe. In terms of our growth, a great deal of it will be in Russia, Latin America and Asia.
 
When the economy and our customers do well, our business also prospers. We were affected by the economic downturn in the United States in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, the U.S. economy recovered somewhat, but food processing markets softened in Europe. We believe conditions will improve in 2004.
 
With customers, we typically work in a multi-function, multi-level manner. We get involved with procurement, engineering and other functions with the customers. We help them determine what they need and when they need it to produce an effective solution in a timely manner.
 
Technology is very important to our business. It allows us to provide a differentiated solution, although service can also play a major role. We provide high quality, robust and reliable solutions for our customers’ challenges. Our technology enables customers to have higher yields, more throughput, lower costs, and support for dealing with their food safety issues.
 
Our strategy for 2004 is to redouble our efforts to become our customers’ most valued supplier. In addition, we are developing plans to reduce product costs continuously. This is especially important to our customers who operate within an increasingly competitive business environment. Given FoodTech’s leading market positions and large installed base, our goal is to be the first

We maintain leading positions in processing, freezing and sterilization technologies and an equipment base of over 10,000 installations. Our equipment processes more than 75 percent of the citrus juice globally, freezes over half of the world’s frozen foods and sterilizes nearly half of the world’s in-container sterilized foods.

 	 	21	 	FoodTech	

Our process knowledge, applications expertise and systems capability enable us to provide outstanding service to our customers. In addition, we offer retrofit kits to continuously upgrade and improve the performance of our installed equipment. Our capability of sourcing from multiple locations around the world helps us to respond to the market conditions that affect the industries we serve.
 
We are rapidly strengthening our position in growth markets such as Latin America and Asia by leveraging existing regional positions and the strength of our technical and service resources to transfer technology. For example, we expanded our capability to produce Stein ™  equipment and complete processing lines in Brazil to capitalize on the growth opportunities in that market. Similarly, we are expanding our regional capabilities in sterilization systems to support our regional customers’ needs.
 
Other achievements in Latin America include our receipt of several orders for GYRoCOMPACT® and ADVANTEC™ freezers for fish applications in Chile. Additionally, FMC FoodTech advanced its position in Brazil with batch retort sterilizers designed for beef and tuna exports. Also, Bertin Alimentos, the largest regional beef processor in Brazil, chose FoodTech as the preferred supplier for their new sterilization project, with equipment deliveries scheduled to begin in 2004.
 
We also are a leading solutions provider in the Asia Pacific region with strong positions in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. We have more than 50 fish and seafood installations in Vietnam alone.

Our FoodTech segment was well positioned to perform as the economy improved and industry consolidation slowed. We did not believe the food processing industry would see much growth in 2003; consequently, we anticipated that FoodTech’s performance would be flat.
 
However, our FoodTech business reported higher revenues and operating profit slightly above 2002 performance.
 
FoodTech’s sales in 2003 of $525M increased 6% from 2002, primarily due to favorable currency exchange rates.
 
Operating Profit
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
FoodTech’s operating profit of $44M for 2003 was slightly above the prior year’s. Favorable foreign exchange and the absence of expenses for cost reduction initiatives incurred in 2002 were largely offset by a charge for the divestiture of the U.S. harvester product line and continued competitive pressure on margins.
 
FoodTech’s restructuring efforts, including the divestiture of the U.S. harvester product line, should result in margin improvements in 2004.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	22	 	 	

Consistent with the growth in not-from-concentrate juice consumption, we successfully entered the European market with a six million gallon aseptic tank farm installation in Spain. Based on the success of this initial project, we expect further growth opportunities to develop in Europe.
 
In addition to growing globally, we challenged our research and development staff to improve our existing offerings. Food safety is a cornerstone of our business and a growing concern in the food processing industry. Our 2003 launch of the LINK ™  Line Control and Process Analysis solution reflected our commitment to helping our customers with this concern. LINK ™  Line Control automates the setup of a poultry processing line, which improves efficiency and significantly reduces errors compared to manual methods. This solution enhances product consistency, yield and traceability and furnishes full documentation about each batch process. Furthermore, LINK ™  Process Analysis allows customers to monitor and analyze not only FoodTech equipment but also equipment from other suppliers.
 
We continue to lead the industry in providing advanced filling, closing and sterilization solutions for our food processing customers. In response to customer demands for increased processing line speeds and greater flexibility in food sterilization, FoodTech developed a large-diameter, high-volume rotary pressure sterilizer. This sterilizer offers almost double the in-container capacity, a smaller footprint and reduced operating costs compared to traditional rotary pressure sterilizers. Building on our expertise in aseptic processing and thermal process modeling, we developed breakthrough technology for the aseptic processing of low-acid food products with particulates or products, such as soups or ready-meals, that are currently restricted to only in-container sterilization. The system leverages our AseptiCAL ™  modeling software and aseptic sterilizing technology and meets U.S. Food and Drug Administration processing requirements.
 
Incorporating over 200 improvements to create a new industry benchmark for performance, hygiene and overall operating economy, in 2003 we introduced the new Frigoscandia Equipment GYRoCOMPACT ®  M-series spiral freezer on a global basis. Our customers worldwide are enthusiastic about its features.
 
We continue to expand our meat processing business by focusing on new solutions within our existing customer base and product lines. We developed new portioner application software in response to customer requests for more complex cutting strategies, including fixed-weight, fixed-shape portioning. The product line also introduced a poultry portioner that is twice as accurate and has almost twice the throughput capacity of its predecessor. Additionally, we upgraded our best-selling coating equipment, developed a new oil filter that improves product quality and lowers processing costs and commercialized a new fryer for the international market.
 
Our fresh produce coating and labeling business expanded globally, providing an additional source of growth for our citrus business. The recent addition of individual produce item labeling systems and labels to our fresh produce business has led to penetration of the apple business while further strengthening our position in citrus.

Despite the challenges in the air transportation industry, we have a number of opportunities. Demand for our commercial products – ground handling equipment and boarding bridges – has been slowly regaining strength. Our backlog for these products increased significantly at year-end 2003, versus the prior year. In 2004, we expect these businesses will continue to benefit from incremental volume improvements.
 
We also see a growing opportunity to serve the military market by utilizing our position as the world’s leading supplier of ground support equipment. The Halvorsen loader is just the first example of how civilian know-how can be applied to serve military markets.

The air transportation industry continued to cope with very difficult conditions in 2003. Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. commercial airlines have lost approximately $20 billion. A number of consolidations have taken place, mostly as alliances between commercial airlines. Commercial airlines in the United States are still making limited capital expenditures.
 
Airlines also are coping with their financial problems by doing more and more outsourcing to ground handling companies; consequently, our customer base is changing. In 2003, for the first time, we did not have a single U.S. airline on our top 10 customer list. Our top customers included the U.S. Air Force, air freight transporters, international airlines and ground handling companies.
 
The steps we have taken to lower costs and streamline production processes should position us well for the eventual rebound in the air

transportation business. Meanwhile, we are continuing to provide value for our customers with high quality, reliable ground support equipment and passenger boarding bridges.
 
In more than 200 airports in 40 countries, we provide the standard for passenger boarding bridges, cargo loaders, deicers, push-back tractors and automated guided vehicles. We also provide a wide range of airport services.
 
Our Jetway® passenger boarding bridges lead the industry, with approximately 5,000 bridges in place worldwide. These boarding bridges combine advanced technology with proven reliability to provide a safe, comfortable transition from the aircraft to the terminal. We also supply an array of auxiliary boarding bridge equipment, including preconditioned air, potable water and power conversion systems.
 
Our deicers offer advanced features to overcome the harshest weather effects and challenging operational requirements. Our AirFirst® aircraft deicing system helps airlines and airports avoid the high cost and environmental concerns associated with deicing fluids by considerably reducing the need for them. The system uses a high velocity air discharge to remove large accumulations of snow and frost from aircraft surfaces before fluids are applied. The system’s technology not only helps reduce the volume of deicer fluid needed, it also saves time spent in deicing operations.
 
Technological innovation and proven performance have made our cargo loaders some of the most popular loaders in the world. The latest generation of our reliable, best-selling loader incorporates modular components and a proprietary conveying system that provides outstanding performance in transferring and manipulating cargo containers and pallets.

 	 	25	 	Airport Systems	

Our commercial ground support equipment also includes a full line of conventional and towbarless tractors, self-propelled transporters, transfer decks and passenger steps. We have successfully applied substantial experience with commercial products to equipment that supports military aviation operations.
 
The highlight of 2003 for our Airport Systems business was the increased funding approved for the Air Force’s Halvorsen loader program in 2004. The original Department of Defense budget contained $19.3 million in funding for the Halvorsen loader program, and the approved funding reflected an increase to $37.1 million.
 
During 2003, the Air Force revised their requirement from 264 to 618 Halvorsen loaders, and in December 2003, we received an order for 61 Halvorsen loaders for delivery in 2004, valued at approximately $24.5 million. From the inception of the Halvorsen loader program in 2000 through 2003, the Air Force ordered a total of 306 loaders. The increased funding approved for 2004 will allow the Air Force to continue to order against their increased loader requirements.
 
We also took steps to expand our product offerings in 2003, with the acquisition of the RampSnake® baggage loading system product line from SAS, the parent company of Scandinavian Airlines. The RampSnake ®  system’s automated baggage loader primarily services narrow-body aircraft and has the potential to significantly speed up loading and unloading operations over conventional methods. The system also helps address safety concerns commonly associated with the physical demands of bulk handling of baggage in narrow-body aircraft. With increasing numbers of narrow-body airplanes being employed, the addition of the RampSnake ®  system to our line of industry-leading Commander loaders for wide-body aircraft should position us well to serve all our air transportation customers’ baggage handling equipment needs.
 
Our airport services business is continuing to prove its ability to add value for airport and airline customers. This business offers one-source control and operational simplicity for airport facility and ground support equipment maintenance and adds value through technology, a factory-certified workforce, in-depth aviation experience and a strong safety culture. Recently, one of airport services’ largest customers indicated an interest in adapting elements of our safety culture to their operations.

Entering 2003, we were concerned about the Airport Systems business and the potential impact of commercial airline industry conditions on the segment.
 
As we assumed, Airport Systems’ 2003 sales declined almost 9% from the prior year. The segment showed some improvement in the commercial products business, but those improvements did not completely offset the Halvorsen volume decline.
 
However, we were successful in our efforts to support the U.S. Air Force in obtaining additional funding to continue the Halvorsen loader program in 2004.
 
Operating Profit
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Airport Systems’ 2003 operating profits decreased 22% year-over-year, as we produced fewer Halvorsen loaders. However, improved demand for ground support equipment and passenger boarding bridges gives us some confidence in a slow recovery for this segment. As volumes increase, our cost reduction initiatives and product enhancements are helping to improve the performance of the commercial products.

Increased funding was approved in 2003 for the U.S. Air Force’s Halvorsen loader program for 2004.
 
Inbound Orders / Order Backlog
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
Inbound orders for the full year 2003 were $242M, a 25% increase over 2002 inbound.
 
While we received an order for Halvorsen loaders in the fourth quarter 2003, it was for fewer loaders than the prior-year order. However, our commercial product lines improved markedly.
 
Order backlog in the Airport Systems segment ended the year at $130M, with 78% of the backlog in the commercial market. These orders came primarily from air freight transporters, international airlines and ground handling companies.
 
Capital Employed
 
[GRAPHIC]
 
All years at December 31.
 
In the Airport Systems segment, we reduced operating working capital during 2002 as we efficiently utilized our advance payments to manufacture the increasing number of Halvorsen loaders. The increase in operating working capital at year-end 2003 is mainly the result of higher fourth quarter 2003 sales and, to a lesser extent, the lower volume of Halvorsen loader production for 2004, which reduces the operating working capital benefit from advance payments.

Market Opportunities	  	Strategies for 2004	
 	 	
The Gulf of Mexico was our most active area in the subsea business in 2003. Activity will decline there in 2004, but continued growth offshore Brazil and growth offshore West Africa is expected. We plan to increase our presence there, as well as offshore Australia and other areas of the Far East. The Norwegian sector of the North Sea continues to be active, and we believe the maturing subsea fields there constitute a growing market for well intervention and life-of-field services. We also believe that important opportunities are opening for all-electric subsea control systems and subsea processing. Market opportunities are growing for our surface wellhead business in Eastern Europe and Russia.	  	•      Focus on continuing to execute major, long-term subsea alliance projects
 
•      Implement SAP in Houston in 2004
 
•      Reduce costs, particularly for raw materials, through global sourcing
 
•      Leverage newly acquired separation technology to augment development of subsea processing capabilities
 
•      Further develop innovative technologies, such as all-electric subsea control systems
 
•      Increase presence in growing subsea and surface geographic regions
 
•      Expand intervention services throughout our energy operations	
 	 	
Economic recovery would spur infrastructure expansion and replacement, thereby creating additional opportunities for Energy Processing Systems. The growing demand for LNG supplies and facilities should create significant worldwide market opportunities for our loading systems business. As gas production increases, both in the United States and internationally, opportunities also are expanding for ultrasonic and multiphase metering systems. Additionally, the growing demand for electricity should lead to an increasing need for power generation from coal-fired facilities, which should benefit our material handling systems business. Increases in rig activity and exploration and production spending expand opportunities for our fluid control business. The most prominent new geographic market opportunities for us are expected to be in Eastern Europe, Russia and Kazakhstan, subject to the ability of those countries to support, upgrade or advance their infrastructure.	  	•      Focus on executing effectively, achieving superior quality and carefully managing our investments in the businesses, both in terms of working and fixed capital
 
•      Stress commitment to businesses with the highest incremental margins
 
•      Ensure short-term payback in technology investments we make
 
•      Develop and maintain close relationships with all contact points in the customer supply chain
 
•      Continue to seek opportunities to leverage our product portfolio to achieve synergies among our businesses
 
•      Build on new market initiatives in developing countries	
 	 	
As the economy improves, market opportunities should expand in this business. The greatest opportunities for growth are in Latin America, Asia and Russia. Continuing concerns about food safety are expected to expand market opportunities for our products that help food processors with this important issue.	  	•      Be our customers’ most valued supplier, so they call us first to provide solutions for their challenges
 
•      Use technology advantages to provide customers with higher yields, more throughput, lower costs and assistance with food safety issues
 
•      Leverage our large installed base by providing extensive aftermarket services
 
•      Find innovative ways to reduce product costs on a continuing basis	
 	 	
In the near term, we believe that our best market opportunities in this segment will be in supplying military cargo handling equipment and improving international market share. We anticipate expanding opportunities to serve narrow-body aircraft with our recently acquired RampSnake ® baggage handling product line. Asia and Russia are our most significant geographic growth market opportunities.	  	•      Continue to execute the Halvorsen loader program for the U.S. Air Force while exploring opportunities for expanding our participation in military markets
 
•      Continue to drive down costs
 
•      Grow our service business by providing technical maintenance and support services directly to airports and airlines

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	34	 	 	

Background
 
FMC Technologies, Inc. provides mission-critical solutions, based on innovative, industry-leading technologies, for the energy, food processing and air transportation industries. We design, manufacture and service sophisticated machinery and systems for our customers through our Energy Systems (comprising Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems), FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses.
 
FMC Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 13, 2000, and was a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation until its initial public offering on June 14, 2001, when we sold 17.0% of our common stock to the public.
 
Through May 31, 2001, FMC Corporation operated the businesses of FMC Technologies as internal units of FMC Corporation through various divisions and subsidiaries, or through investments in unconsolidated affiliates. As of June 1, 2001, FMC Corporation contributed to FMC Technologies substantially all of the assets and liabilities of, and its interests in, the businesses that comprise FMC Technologies, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries (the “Separation”).
 
On December 31, 2001, FMC Corporation distributed its remaining 83.0% ownership of FMC Technologies’ common stock to FMC Corporation’s stockholders in the form of a dividend (the “Distribution”).
 
Executive Overview
 
We design, manufacture and service sophisticated machinery and systems for customers in the energy, food processing and air transportation industries. We focus on the diverse economic and industry-specific drivers in each of these industries as we formulate our strategic plans and make decisions related to allocating capital and human resources. The following provides examples of the kinds of economic and industry factors that we consider.
 
The results of our Energy Systems businesses are driven by changes in exploration and production spending by oil and gas companies, which in part depend on current and anticipated future crude oil and natural gas prices and production volumes. Our Energy Production Systems business results also reflect our ability to build alliances with oil and gas companies that are actively engaged in offshore deepwater development, and provide solutions to their needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. The orders we receive for subsea systems have long lead times; therefore, this business is less affected by short-term commodity price volatility. Our Energy Processing Systems business results reflect the spending by oilfield service companies for equipment and systems that facilitate the measurement and transportation of crude oil and natural gas. The level of production activity worldwide influences spending decisions, and we use rig count to monitor production activity.
 
Our FoodTech business results reflect the level of capital investment being made by our food processing customers, which is primarily driven by our customers’ overall profitability. The level of capital spending is also influenced by changing consumer preferences, conditions in the agricultural sector that affect prices, and public perception of food safety.
 
The results of our Airport Systems business are highly dependent upon the profitability of our customers in the airline and air cargo markets. Their profitability is affected by fluctuations in passenger and freight traffic and the volatility of their operating expenses, including the impact of increased costs related to airline security. In addition, results in our Airport Systems business are also affected by the level of purchases of our Halvorsen loaders by the U.S. Air Force, which depends upon government funding approvals.
 
As we evaluate our operating results, we view our business by segment and consider performance indicators like segment revenues, operating profit and capital employed, in addition to the level of inbound orders and order backlog. As we analyze our financial condition, items of importance include factors that impact our liquidity and capital resources, including operating working capital, net debt and access to capital.

 	 	35	 	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	

Consolidated Results of Operations
 
2003 Compared With 2002
 
Our total revenue for fiscal year 2003 increased 11% to $2.31 billion, as higher sales attributable to Energy Production Systems and, to a lesser extent, Energy Processing Systems and FoodTech, were partially offset by lower sales in Airport Systems. The increase in Energy Production Systems’ revenue was primarily driven by the continued sales growth of subsea systems, which we supply to exploration and production companies for use in major offshore oil and gas producing regions throughout the world. Also, the growth in total revenue was partly attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, particularly for our FoodTech business.
 
Pre-tax income in 2003 increased to $106.6 million ($75.6 million after tax), from 2002 pre-tax income of $90.3 million ($64.1 million after tax) before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The increase in 2003 pre-tax income of $16.3 million was primarily attributable to higher segment operating profit and, to a lesser extent, lower net interest expense, partially offset by an increase in other expense, net.
 
Outlook for 2004
 
We enter 2004 with a solid backlog position and currently anticipate an increase in 2004 operating profit in each of our business segments. However, we have less certainty and see greater variability in outcomes than we have had going into previous years, primarily due to our Energy Production Systems business segment, reflecting the predictability of subsea orders. While we expect the level of profit improvement to vary across our business segments, we estimate that our diluted earnings per share for full year 2004 will increase in the vicinity of 10 percent over 2003.
 
2002 Compared With 2001
 
Our total revenue for fiscal year 2002 increased 7% to $2.07 billion, as higher revenue recognized by Energy Production Systems was the result of increased revenue from sales of subsea systems, reflecting the trend toward offshore development of deepwater oil and gas fields. The increase in revenue was partially offset by lower revenue from our other business segments, the result of difficult market conditions.
 
Before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles in both years, pre-tax income in 2002 increased to $90.3 million ($64.1 million after tax), from pre-tax income in 2001 of $63.5 million ($39.4 million after tax). The increase in 2002 pre-tax income of $26.8 million was primarily attributable to an increase in segment operating profit, reflecting the absence of restructuring and asset impairment charges in 2002, lower amortization expense related to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, and higher profit from our Energy Production Systems business segment. In addition, the increase in 2002 pre-tax income was attributable to lower corporate expense, partially offset by the negative impact of an increase in other expense, net.
 
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
It is management’s view that after-tax profit on a pro forma basis of $0.82 per diluted share is a useful measure of our performance in 2001. It excludes restructuring charges related to initiatives undertaken to lower our cost structure in response to adverse market conditions. It also excludes income tax provisions related to repatriation of offshore earnings and the reorganization of our worldwide entities in anticipation of the Separation from FMC Corporation, and it adds an estimate of interest expense that we might have incurred had we been a stand-alone entity for the entire year of 2001. The following table provides a reconciliation of after-tax profit in 2001 on a pro forma basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income measured on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	36	 	 	

The following provides additional information about the 2001 pro forma adjustments:
 
Restructuring and asset impairment charges — In 2001, we recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges totaling $16.8 million before taxes ($10.4 million after tax), consisting of restructuring charges of $15.5 million and an asset impairment charge of $1.3 million. Our decision to restructure our operations in 2001 was based on the slowing U.S. and global economies and a reduction in airline travel. We lowered our cost structure by reducing headcount in each of our business segments and at our corporate office. Restructuring charges of $5.1 million related to planned reductions in workforce in the Energy Processing Systems businesses; $1.1 million related to planned reductions in workforce in the Energy Production Systems businesses; $5.2 million related to planned reductions in workforce in the FoodTech businesses; $3.7 million related to a planned plant closing and restructuring activities, including planned workforce reductions, in the Airport Systems businesses; and $0.4 million was for other corporate initiatives. The asset impairment charge reflected the write-off of goodwill associated with a FoodTech product line, which we decided not to develop further.
 
Income tax charges — In 2001, we recorded $8.9 million in charges for income taxes associated with the repatriation of offshore earnings and the reorganization of FMC Technologies’ worldwide entities in anticipation of the Separation from FMC Corporation.
 
Pro forma interest expense — For periods prior to June 1, 2001, our results were carved out from the consolidated financial statements of FMC Corporation. For 2001, we calculated pro forma incremental interest expense of $6.3 million before taxes ($4.7 million after tax), representing an estimate of the additional interest expense that we would have incurred prior to the Separation from FMC Corporation had we been a stand-alone entity beginning January 1, 2001. This estimate assumes that we were paying a 6.0% interest rate on debt, and that our debt, net of cash, was $300.5 million.
 
Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles
 
On January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The standards collectively provide for the recognition, amortization and continuing valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141 prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method of accounting for a business combination. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have an impact on our historical financial statements. We completed the goodwill impairment testing that is required upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 during the first quarter of 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, resulted in a loss from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $193.8 million, net of an income tax benefit of $21.2 million, affecting the FoodTech business segment ($117.4 million before taxes; $98.3 million after tax) and the Energy Processing Systems business segment ($97.6 million before taxes; $95.5 million after tax). This loss was not the result of a change in the outlook of the businesses but was due to a change in the method of measuring goodwill impairment as required by the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 142 relating to goodwill amortization resulted in our discontinuing the amortization of goodwill beginning January 1, 2002.
 
Goodwill amortization expense recognized in 2001 was as follows:

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	38	 	 	

Energy Production Systems
 
2003 Compared With 2002
 
Energy Production Systems’ revenue in 2003 reflected the continued increase in sales of subsea systems, with higher volumes primarily attributable to projects located in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico and, to a lesser extent, offshore Brazil. The favorable impact of foreign currency translation also contributed to the increase in revenue. In the surface business, higher revenue was attributable to increased deliveries of land-based systems in North America and deliveries of offshore systems outside of the U.S. Sales in 2003 also reflected an increase for floating production systems, primarily resulting from the Sonatrach project, and a partial year benefit from the acquisition of CDS Engineering (“CDS”).
 
Energy Production Systems’ 2003 operating profit increased compared with 2002 as a result of higher volumes in our subsea business and, to a lesser extent, our surface business, and the partial year benefit of the acquisition of CDS. This increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense, attributable to capital expenditures made in prior periods to support increased sub-sea volumes and to increased amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of CDS. Lower profit recorded by our floating production systems business also offset the improvements in subsea and surface.
 
We have a petroleum loading system project underway between Sonatrach-TRC, the Algerian Oil and Gas Company (“Sonatrach”) and our floating production systems business. During the third quarter of 2003, Sonatrach asked us to evaluate modifications that affected the project’s scope and schedule. After a period of negotiations, we signed a revised contract with Sonatrach in early 2004. The size of the contract was reduced from $240 million to $224 million, and uncertainty was removed from the contract’s scope and schedule; however, from a profit perspective, we expect to break even. At December 31, 2003, the project was approximately 22% complete.
 
2002 Compared With 2001
 
Increased revenue in 2002 was attributable to strong sales of subsea systems and, to a lesser extent, floating production systems, continuing the trend toward offshore development of deepwater oil and gas fields. Subsea customers in 2002 included Shell and BP in the Gulf of Mexico, ExxonMobil offshore West Africa, Petrobras offshore Brazil and Statoil and Norsk Hydro in the North Sea. We saw our sales of floating production equipment recover in 2002, as higher volumes reflected sales to Esso in Chad, Conoco in Vietnam, Techint in Ecuador, and Shell (formerly Enterprise Oil) in Brazil. Our surface sales were relatively flat when compared with 2001, as higher sales of offshore platform surface equipment were offset by the impact of lower rig counts for U.S. land-based exploration and production activity.
 
Increased operating profit in 2002 resulted from our progress on deepwater subsea projects for major oil companies, the recovery of our floating production sales from depressed activity levels in the prior period, and lower operating and amortization expenses. Lower amortization expense was attributable to the implementation of SFAS No. 142. The favorable earnings impact related to strong sales volume of subsea and floating production systems was partially offset by the impact of lower margins in 2002 from projects involving higher engineering content and pass-through billings associated with our role as general contractor.
 
Outlook for 2004
 
Our strong backlog position at year-end 2003 has given us a solid start for the coming year and we expect Energy Production Systems’ profitability to improve slightly in 2004. However, we are starting the year with less visibility than we have had in the past because of issues associated with the contract bid process and delays by oil companies and governments in the awarding and sanctioning of projects in West Africa, an area that we believe has significant growth potential for subsea. Our forecast currently assumes profit contribution from the Sonatrach contract at a break-even level. We anticipate growth to come from higher earnings in the surface wellhead business, floating production systems—from projects other than Sonatrach—and from the benefit of a full year of our 55% ownership interest in CDS, which we acquired in late August 2003.
 
Energy Processing Systems
 
2003 Compared With 2002
 
Compared to 2002, revenue for Energy Processing Systems increased as a result of favorable foreign currency translation and higher sales volumes. Stronger sales of WECO ® /Chiksan ®  equipment in our fluid control business reflected the impact of increased service company demand. Favorable foreign currency translation affected revenue for both measurement solutions and loading systems. In addition, both businesses experienced improved year over year sales volume. Measurement saw stronger demand for metering systems and loading systems, and also benefited from strong demand for liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) solutions.
 
Energy Processing Systems’ higher operating profit is attributable to higher sales volumes in our fluid control business, favorable foreign currency translation, and increased sales of metering systems. The improvement in our fluid control business resulted from increased demand from service companies for WECO ® /Chiksan ®  equipment, partly offset by higher contract reserve adjustments associated with a manifold system project. The increased operating profit in measurement solutions reflects strong demand for metering systems. Most of the increase in sales of loading systems was offset by the impact of pricing pressures in the highly competitive LNG loading arm market.
 
2002 Compared With 2001
 
Slightly lower revenue for Energy Processing Systems in 2002 was primarily attributable to the impact of reduced North American drilling activity on sales of WECO ® /Chiksan ®  equipment. In addition, we experienced lower sales in our bulk conveying and blending and transfer businesses. Partially offsetting the decline in revenue were higher sales of marine loading arms, the result of increased demand for new and upgraded marine loading and unloading facilities worldwide.

 	 	39	 	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	

Higher operating profit was primarily the result of the absence of restructuring charges and the positive impact of lower operating costs attributable to the restructuring programs initiated in 2001. In addition, 2002 operating profit reflected a reduction in amortization expense, due to the implementation of SFAS No. 142. Partially offsetting the increase in profit was the impact of reduced volumes of WECO ® /Chiksan ®  equipment, as land-based oilfield exploration and development spending and infrastructure spending remained at low levels due to continued uncertainty surrounding the economy and energy prices.
 
Outlook for 2004
 
We expect the Energy Processing Systems business to grow earnings in 2004, as a result of increased oilfield activity and higher rig counts. In addition, we expect higher demand for our loading systems and material handling systems, reflecting the increased use of liquefied natural gas and coal to meet the growing demand for electricity.
 
Management has committed to a plan to sell the assets associated with research and development of one type of measurement technology. In the event that a sale is not completed, we are evaluating the impact of alternative strategies.
 
FoodTech
 
2003 Compared With 2002
 
The increase in FoodTech’s revenue primarily reflected the favorable effect of foreign currency translation on sales largely attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and the Swedish krona. To a lesser extent, the increase in sales was attributable to an increase in the volume of protein cooking equipment sold in North America. These favorable effects were partially offset by a significant decrease in sales of freezing equipment, reflecting weaker European economies.
 
Compared with 2002, FoodTech’s operating profit increased slightly due to the net effect of foreign currency translation and a favorable adjustment relating to a foreign sales tax. Most of the revenue increase resulting from foreign currency translation was offset by translation of the corresponding expenses. The increases were further offset by the unfavorable impact of lower sales volumes of freezing equipment in Europe and competitive pressures in the citrus processing business.
 
As we had determined that our U.S. agricultural harvester product line no longer fit the strategic initiatives of our FoodTech business, we divested the product line in 2003, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million.
 
2002 Compared With 2001
 
FoodTech’s decrease in revenue from 2001 reflected reduced sales of cooking and freezing equipment in North America, partially offset by higher sales of food processing and cooking equipment in Asia and, to a lesser extent, increased sales of freezing equipment in Europe and Asia.
 
The decrease in FoodTech’s operating profit resulting from lower sales volumes was more than offset by the absence of restructuring charges and goodwill amortization expense in 2002. In addition, 2002 operating profit reflected reduced expenses in various food processing businesses, the result of restructuring programs initiated in 2001.
 
Outlook for 2004
 
In 2004, we expect some slight improvement in operating profit as North American markets continue to recover, and food handling and food sterilization equipment continue on a positive trend. We expect these gains to be partly offset by increased competitive pressure in the citrus processing business.
 
Airport Systems
 
2003 Compared With 2002
 
Airport Systems’ revenue decreased in 2003 compared with 2002, as weak demand from commercial airlines and airport municipalities continued to negatively affect Airport Systems in 2003. Sales of Jetway ®  passenger boarding bridges and Halvorsen loaders were lower compared with 2002, the latter reflecting a lower level of orders received from the U.S. Air Force. Sales of Halvorsen loaders fluctuate based on the status of government approval of funding and the requirements of the U.S. Air Force. Increased sales of automated guided vehicle systems and the positive impact of foreign currency translation partially offset the decrease in revenue.
 
Airport Systems’ operating profit in 2003 decreased compared with 2002, primarily due to lower volumes of Halvorsen loaders, partially offset by an improvement in profitability from our ground support equipment business. The negative impact of Jetway ®  systems business’ lower volumes in 2003 was partially offset by higher margins, reflecting the benefit of cost cutting initiatives implemented in prior periods.
 
2002 Compared With 2001
 
Airport Systems’ revenue decreased in 2002 compared with 2001, reflecting lower sales of airport ground support equipment and Jetway® passenger boarding bridges, primarily as a result of commercial airlines’ deferral of capital expenditures due to the industry’s financial difficulties. Partially offsetting this decrease were increased sales of Halvorsen loaders to the U.S. Air Force.
 
Higher operating profit for Airport Systems primarily reflected the absence of charges for restructuring programs that we initiated following the events of September 11, 2001, and the resulting lower operating costs realized in 2002. In addition, the favorable impact of increased sales volumes of Halvorsen loaders to the U.S. Air Force was largely offset by reduced sales of commercial airline ground support equipment.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	40	 	 	

Outlook for 2004
 
We are projecting a slight improvement in operating profit for Airport Systems in 2004 as improved profitability in our commercial businesses—Jetway ®  systems and ground support equipment—is expected to more than offset the decline in Halvorsen loader volumes. Compared with a year ago, we have seen an increase in the rate of inbound orders from our overseas commercial airline customers. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the U.S. Air Force received government approval of funding for the purchase of additional Halvorsen loaders; however, the 2004 order level reflects a decrease compared with 2003.

The portion of total order backlog at December 31, 2003, that we project will be recorded as revenue after fiscal year 2004 amounts to approximately $160 million.
 
Higher order backlog for Energy Production Systems at December 31, 2003, was attributable to orders received for subsea systems, including significant projects for Norsk Hydro, Woodside Energy and BP. Order backlog for floating production systems was essentially flat compared with the prior year, as floating production orders received late in 2003 offset lower backlog on the Sonatrach contract at December 31, 2003, compared with December 31, 2002. Order backlog for surface systems was somewhat lower compared with the prior year and consisted primarily of orders from Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Inbound orders for surface systems in North America did not reflect a quick response to increased rig counts and higher drilling activity; however, we are now beginning to see improvements in the North American surface market.
 
Energy Processing Systems’ order backlog increased compared to December 31, 2002, as a result of increased inbound orders in all businesses within the segment. Contributing to the segment’s improved backlog is a significant bulk conveying system order, as well as increased order backlog for measurement systems and marine loading arms. In addition, the order backlog reflects the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.
 
FoodTech’s order backlog at December 31, 2003, was higher compared with December 31, 2002, primarily as a result of the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and a higher level of order backlog for protein cooking equipment and food handling equipment, reflecting recovery in North American markets and a higher level of order backlog from the Asia-Pacific region. These increases were partly offset by the impact of reduced inbound orders for fruit and vegetable processing equipment in 2003 when compared with 2002.
 
Airport Systems’ order backlog at December 31, 2003, was higher compared with December 31, 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in order backlog for ground support equipment and Jetway ®  passenger boarding bridges, reflecting an increase in orders from airport municipalities and overseas commercial airlines. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in the amount of order backlog for Halvorsen loaders.

Other Costs and Expenses
 
Corporate Expense
 
Corporate expense in 2003 increased slightly over 2002, primarily due to higher insurance premiums. Compared with 2001, 2002 corporate expense decreased due to lower corporate staffing levels.
 
In 2004, we anticipate that corporate expense will remain consistent with 2003 levels.
 
Other Expense, Net
 
Other expense, net, consists primarily of LIFO inventory adjustments, expenses related to pension and other employee postretirement benefits, expenses related to the transition to a new payroll and benefit administration service center, foreign currency-related gains and losses, and amortization expense for restricted stock awards.
 
Other expense, net, was higher in 2003 than 2002 largely due to higher pension expense as a result of lower discount rate and asset return assumptions, and the absence of the 2002 gain on the sale of the corporate aircraft.
 
The increase in 2002 in other expense, net, compared with 2001 reflected the absence of foreign currency transaction gains recorded in 2001 and higher LIFO and pension-related expense. In 2002, we recorded a gain of $1.3 million in conjunction with the sale of our corporate aircraft. Other expense, net, in 2002 also reflected a reduction in expense related to the replacement of FMC Corporation restricted stock with FMC Technologies’ restricted stock, which amounted to $2.8 million and $4.2 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
We anticipate that other expense, net, will increase in 2004 due to higher pension expense, the result of a lower discount rate assumption, and increased compensation costs related to restricted stock awards.
 
Net Interest Expense
 
Net interest expense (interest expense related to external debt financing less interest income earned on cash equivalents and marketable securities) decreased in 2003 compared with 2002, primarily resulting from lower average debt levels as well as lower interest rates during 2003. Lower interest rates were partly attributable to our use of commercial paper as a short-term funding source beginning in the first quarter of 2003 as well as the maturity in 2003 of interest rate swaps which held higher fixed interest rates. New interest rate swaps fixed the effective annual interest rate on $150.0 million of our commercial paper at an average all-in rate of 2.9% beginning in the second quarter of 2003.
 
Net interest expense recorded in 2002 was favorably impacted by lower debt levels, the result of our strong cash flow from operations, and the declining interest rate environment during 2002. Interest expense incurred in 2001 was primarily related to the credit facilities obtained in June 2001 to establish our stand-alone capital structure. Prior to June 2001, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation; consequently, net interest expense in 2001 was not necessarily representative of what the expense would have been had FMC Technologies been a separate, stand-alone entity for the entire year. We estimate that had we been a stand-alone company for full year 2001, our net interest expense would have increased by $6.3 million.
 
In 2004, we expect net interest expense to be essentially level with 2003, reflecting higher average debt levels offset by lower interest rates.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2003, was $31.0 million on pre-tax income of $106.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29%. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $26.2 million on pre-tax income of $90.3 million before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29%.
 
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2001, was $24.1 million on pre-tax income of $63.5 million before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38%. However, 2001 income tax expense included a provision of $8.9 million associated with repatriation of offshore earnings and the reorganization of our worldwide entities in anticipation of our separation from FMC Corporation. In addition, during 2001 we incurred restructuring and asset impairment charges, and excluding the effects of these 2001 pro forma adjustments (Consolidated Results of Operations — Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures), our adjusted 2001 effective tax rate was 27%.
 
The differences between the effective tax rates for these periods and the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate relate primarily to differing foreign tax rates, taxes on intercompany dividends and deemed dividends for tax purposes, qualifying foreign trade income and non-deductible expenses.
 
We anticipate that our effective tax rate for 2004 will be at or slightly above 29%. A change in the 2004 rate over the 2003 rate may result from changes in the mix of domestic and foreign taxable income in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At December 31, 2003, our net debt was $192.5 million, compared with net debt of $202.5 million at December 31, 2002. Net debt includes short and long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. We reduced our net debt during 2003 with cash provided by operating activities, which was more than sufficient to offset the increase in debt related to the CDS acquisition and the retirement of off-balance sheet obligations, which increased borrowings by approximately $50 million and $36 million, respectively. In addition, in 2003, we contributed $18 million to our pension plans.
 
Cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, were as follows:

Operating Cash Flows
 
Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2003, was higher compared with the same period in 2002, reflecting an increase in net income and an increase in cash from advance payments primarily from our Energy Production Systems customers. This was offset by the impact of an increase in accounts receivable in 2003. Components of our operating working capital balances vary significantly depending on the payment terms and timing of delivery on key contracts. Operating working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities, adjusted to exclude cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and income tax balances. At December 31, 2003, operating working capital was $158.0 million, essentially level with operating working capital of $159.2 million at December 31, 2002.
 
Investing Cash Flows
 
Compared to 2002, the increase in cash required by investing activities in 2003 reflects cash paid for acquisitions, primarily the payment of $44.2 million for a majority ownership interest in CDS. Also in 2003, we retired $35.9 million in sale-leaseback obligations and replaced the obligations with lower cost balance sheet debt. In 2002, investing cash flows reflect the retirement of sale-leaseback obligations relating to our corporate aircraft, offset by proceeds from its subsequent sale.
 
Cash required by investing activities was essentially flat in 2002 compared with 2001. Cash outflows in 2002 and 2001 were related to capital expenditures primarily for our expanding Energy Production Systems business to support increased subsea volumes.
 
Financing Cash Flows
 
During 2003, our financing cash flows reflected the repayment of short and long-term debt, which was replaced with borrowings under our newly established commercial paper program. This allowed us to substantially lower the interest cost on our debt. In the second quarter of 2003, we entered into interest rate swaps that fixed the effective annual interest rate on $150.0 million of our commercial paper at an average all-in rate of 2.9% for five years.

Debt and Liquidity
 
Total borrowings at December 31, 2003 and 2002, comprised the following:

Our committed five-year revolving credit facility provides the ability to refinance our commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis; therefore, at December 31, 2003, we classified our commercial paper as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets.
 
Under the commercial paper program, and subject to available capacity under our committed revolving credit facilities, we have the ability to access up to $400.0 million of short-term financing through our commercial paper dealers. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investor Services assigned their “A-2” and Prime-2 (“P-2”) commercial paper ratings, respectively, to our program. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services defines an A-2 rating as follows, “A short-term obligation rated ‘A-2’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories (A-1). However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.” There is only one Standard & Poor’s rating category higher than A-2. Moody’s Investor Services defines their “P-2” rating as follows, “Issuers rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay senior short-term debt obligations.”
 
Our uncommitted credit includes domestic money-market facilities and international lines of credit. Borrowings under these uncommitted facilities totaled $5.1 million and $16.0 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
We also have an uncommitted credit agreement with MODEC International LLC, a 37.5%-owned joint venture, whereby MODEC International LLC loans its excess cash to us. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the interest rate is based on the monthly weighted-average interest rate we pay on our domestic credit facilities and commercial paper, which was 1.3% and 2.2% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Borrowings from MODEC International LLC amounted to $15.2 million and $23.4 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
MODEC, Inc., the parent of our joint venture partner in MODEC International LLC, completed an initial public offering of approximately 11% of its common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in July 2003. Beginning in May 2004, we will have an annual right during the 120-day period following the issuance of the annual report of MODEC, Inc., to convert all or a portion of our joint venture interest in MODEC International LLC into shares of common stock of MODEC, Inc., or, at MODEC, Inc.’s option, a combination of cash and common stock with total equivalent value. The conversion right expires on December 31, 2020. The number of shares of MODEC, Inc. obtainable upon any such conversion is determined pursuant to a formula based on the relative contribution of the operating results of MODEC International LLC to the income of MODEC, Inc., for the two fiscal years preceding such conversion. We have no current plans to convert our joint venture interest in MODEC International LLC and there can be no assurance as to the timing or terms of any such conversion.

(a)	The five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility allows us to obtain a total of $100.0 million in standby letters of credit. Our available capacity is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit associated with this facility.	
 
(b)	The 364-day $150.0 million revolving credit facility contains an option to convert any outstanding borrowings at maturity to a term loan of not more than one year.	
 
(c)	We are currently pursuing a second five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility that would replace this 364-day $150.0 million revolving credit facility upon maturity.	
 
(d)	Outstanding commercial paper may not exceed the unused portion of the revolving credit facilities. Therefore, the outstanding balance of commercial paper combined with the debt outstanding under the revolving credit facilities and the amount in standby letters of credit was limited to $400.0 million at December 31, 2003.	
 
Our committed credit facilities carry effective annual interest rates of 100 basis points above the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate.
 
We had $50.0 million and $175.0 million outstanding under our five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2003, we had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in June 2004 related to $50.0 million of the long-term borrowings that fixed the interest rate thereon at 5.92%. We also have interest rate swaps related to $150.0 million of our commercial paper borrowings. The effect of these interest rate swaps, which mature in June 2008, is to fix the effective annual interest rate on these borrowings at 2.9%. At December 31, 2002, we had interest rate swap agreements related to $150.0 million of long-term debt, the effect of which fixed the interest rate on these borrowings at an average rate of 5.37%. During the second quarter of 2003, a $50.0 million interest rate swap related to the committed five-year revolving credit facility matured. In addition, during the second quarter of 2003, we elected to terminate a second $50.0 million interest rate swap, which had an original maturity in September 2003, related to these long-term borrowings.
 
Outlook for 2004
 
During 2004, we anticipate that our average debt levels will increase as a result of an increase in working capital requirements, primarily associated with the terms and timing of delivery on the Sonatrach contract. However, by year-end 2004, we expect net debt to be lower by $20 to $30 million compared with year-end 2003, unless we incur additional acquisition-related debt.
 
We plan to meet our cash requirements in 2004 with cash generated from operations and our available credit facilities. We are currently pursuing a second five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility that would replace our 364-day $150.0 million revolving credit facility upon its maturity in April 2004.
 
We forecast that our 2004 capital spending will be approximately $60 million. This reflects a reduction in projected capital spending for Energy Production Systems after several years of higher capital spending levels needed to support increased subsea volume. During 2003, we entered into an agreement to sell real estate for approximately $10 million. The sale is expected to close in 2004, pending the completion of property improvements.
 
We expect to contribute approximately $17 million to our pension plans in 2004. Of this amount, $15 million will be contributed to the domestic qualified pension plan, which does not have a minimum funding requirement for 2004. The remaining $2 million will be contributed to the U.K. qualified pension plan and the domestic non-qualified pension plan.
 
We continue to evaluate acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

(a)	Our available long-term debt is dependent upon our compliance with debt covenants, including negative covenants related to liens, and financial covenants related to consolidated tangible net worth, debt to earnings and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2003; however, any violation of debt covenants, event of default, or change in our credit rating could have a material impact on our ability to maintain our committed financing arrangements.	
 
(b)	In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements with our suppliers to purchase raw materials or services. These agreements include a requirement that our supplier provide products or services to our specifications and require us to make a firm purchase commitment to our supplier. As these commitments are associated with purchases made to fulfill our customers’ orders, substantially all of the costs associated with these agreements will ultimately be reflected in cost of sales and services on our consolidated statements of income.	
 
(c)	Other long-term obligations consist of amounts owed associated with an acquisition made in our Airport Systems business segment in 2003. In addition to the contractual obligations listed in the table above, we also have a commitment to acquire the remaining ownership interest in CDS in 2009 at a purchase price of approximately 6.5 times the average of 45% of CDS’ 2007 and 2008 earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

As collateral for our performance on certain sales contracts or as part of our agreements with insurance companies, we were contingently liable under letters of credit, surety bonds and other bank guarantees. In order to obtain these financial instruments, we pay fees to various financial institutions in amounts competitively determined in the marketplace. Our ability to generate revenue from certain contracts is dependent upon our ability to obtain these off-balance sheet financial instruments. These off-balance sheet financial instruments may be renewed, revised or released based on

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	46	 	 	

changes in the underlying commitment. Historically, our commercial commitments have not been drawn upon to a material extent; consequently, management believes it is not likely that there will be claims against these commitments that will have a negative impact on our key financial ratios or our ability to obtain financing.
 
At December 31, 2003, FMC Corporation’s contingent obligations related to our direct obligations amounted to $2.9 million and consisted primarily of guarantees of our performance of the terms of sales contracts. In early 2004, FMC Corporation’s contingent obligations related to our direct obligations were reduced to $0.1 million. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement (“SDA”), we indemnify FMC Corporation and FMC Corporation indemnifies us from all liabilities arising from the respective businesses or contracts of the companies, from liabilities arising from the breach of the SDA, from certain claims made prior to our spin-off from FMC Corporation, and for claims related to discontinued operations.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments and Market Risk
 
We are subject to financial market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In order to manage and mitigate our exposure to these risks, we may use derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes where the objective is to generate profits. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, our derivative holdings consisted of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements.
 
When we sell or purchase products or services, transactions are frequently denominated in currencies other than the particular operation’s functional currency. We mitigate our exposure to variability in foreign currency exchange rates when possible through the use of natural hedges, whereby purchases and sales in the same foreign currency and with similar maturity dates, offset one another. Additionally, we initiate hedging activities, by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts with third parties, when natural hedges are not available. The maturity dates and currencies of the exchange contracts that provide hedge coverage are synchronized with those of the underlying purchase or sale commitment, and the amount of hedge coverage related to each underlying transaction does not exceed the amount of the underlying purchase or sale commitment. At December 31, 2003, our net foreign currency market exposures were primarily in the Norwegian krone, the Swedish krona, the British pound, the Singapore dollar, the Japanese yen, the Brazilian real and the euro. At December 31, 2002, our net foreign currency market exposures were primarily in the Norwegian krone, the euro, the Brazilian real, the Japanese yen, the Swedish krona and the British pound.
 
We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact on earnings of an immediate 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates to which we have exposure. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar, and all other variables are held constant. Our sensitivity analysis indicated that such a fluctuation in currency exchange rates would not materially affect our consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows at either December 31, 2003, or December 31, 2002. We believe that our hedging activities have been effective in reducing our risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
 
Our debt instruments subject us to market risk associated with movements in interest rates. During 2001, we entered into three floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on $150.0 million of the variable rate debt outstanding under our committed five-year revolving credit facility. Each contract had a notional value of $50.0 million. During 2003, one interest rate swap matured and we elected to terminate another interest rate swap that had an original maturity of September 2003. The remaining interest rate swap matures in June 2004.
 
In June 2003, we entered into three floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps related to $150.0 million of our commercial paper borrowings. The effect of these interest rate swaps is to fix the effective annual interest rate on these borrowings at an average rate of 2.9%. These interest rate swaps mature in June 2008. The swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges and their fair value is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
We prepare the consolidated financial statements of FMC Technologies in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, our management re-evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions for reasonableness because of the critical impact that these factors have on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure.
 
Revenue Recognition Using the Percentage of Completion Method of Accounting
 
We record revenue on construction-type manufacturing and assembly projects using the percentage of completion method, where revenue is recorded as work progresses on each contract. There are several acceptable methods of measuring progress toward completion. Most frequently, we use the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs to measure this progress; however, there are also types of contracts where we consistently apply the ratio of units delivered to date — or units of work performed — as a percentage of total units because we have determined that these methods provide a more accurate measure of progress toward completion.
 
Total estimated contract cost is a critical accounting estimate because it can materially affect net income and it requires us to make judgments about matters that are uncertain.

 	 	47	 	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	

Revenue recorded using the percentage of completion method amounted to $804.3 million, $678.9 million and $590.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Management estimates that during 2003, $97.9 million of revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method was associated with contracts that were completed during the year.
 
We use the percentage of completion method most frequently in our Energy Production Systems business segment, primarily for subsea petroleum exploration equipment projects that involve the design, engineering, manufacturing and assembly of complex, customer-specific systems. The systems are not built from standard bills of material and typically require extended periods of time to construct.
 
We execute contracts with our customers that clearly describe the equipment, systems and/or services that we will provide and the amount of consideration we will receive. After analyzing the drawings and specifications of the contract requirements, our project engineers estimate total contract costs based on their experience with similar projects and then adjust these estimates for specific risks associated with each project, such as technical risks associated with a new design. Costs associated with specific risks are estimated by assessing the probability that conditions will arise that will affect our total cost to complete the project. After work on a project begins, assumptions that form the basis for our calculation of total project cost are examined on a monthly basis and our estimates are updated to reflect new information as it becomes available.
 
It is reasonably possible that we could have used different estimates of total contract costs in our calculation of revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method. If we had used a different estimate of total contract costs for each contract in progress at December 31, 2003, a 1% increase or decrease in the estimated margin earned on each contract would have increased or decreased total revenue and pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2003, by $7.7 million.
 
Inventory Valuation
 
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In order to determine net realizable value, we evaluate each component of inventory on a regular basis to determine whether it is excess or obsolete. We record the decline in the carrying value of estimated excess or obsolete inventory as a reduction of inventory and as an expense included in cost of sales in the period it is identified. Our estimate of excess and obsolete inventory is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period. In addition, it requires management to make judgments about the future demand for inventory.
 
In order to quantify excess or obsolete inventory, we begin by preparing a candidate listing of the components of inventory that have not demonstrated usage within the most recent two-year period. This list is then reviewed with sales, production and materials management personnel to determine whether this list of potential excess or obsolete inventory items is accurate. Management considers as part of this evaluation whether there has been a change in the market for finished goods, whether there will be future demand for on-hand inventory items and whether there are components of inventory that incorporate obsolete technology.
 
It is reasonably possible that we could have used different assumptions about future sales when estimating excess or obsolete inventory. Had we assumed that future sales would be 10% higher or lower than those used in our forecast, the effect on our estimate of excess or obsolete inventory and pre-tax income would have been an increase or decrease of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
Accounting for Income Taxes
 
In determining our current income tax provision we assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. When we maintain deferred tax assets we must assess the likelihood that these assets will be recovered through adjustments to future taxable income. To the extent we believe recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. We record an allowance reducing the asset to a value we believe will be recoverable based on our expectation of future taxable income. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period as it requires management to make assumptions about our future income over the lives of the deferred tax assets, and the impact of increasing or decreasing the valuation allowance is potentially material to our results of operations.
 
Forecasting future income requires us to use a significant amount of judgment. In estimating future income, we use our internal operating budgets and long-range planning projections. We develop our budgets and long-range projections based on recent results, trends, economic and industry forecasts influencing our segments’ performance, our backlog, planned timing of new product launches, and customer sales commitments. Significant changes in the expected realizability of the deferred tax asset would require that we provide an additional valuation allowance against the gross value of our total deferred tax assets.
 
As of December 31, 2003, we estimated that it is not likely that we will have future taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we have cumulative net operating losses and, therefore, provided a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2003, we estimated that it is more likely than not that we will have future taxable income in the United States to utilize our deferred tax assets. Therefore, we have not provided a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets.
 
With respect to deferred tax assets in our domestic businesses, it is reasonably possible we could have used a different estimate of future taxable income in determining the need for a valuation allowance. If our estimate of future taxable income was 25% lower than the estimate used, we would still generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets.

Retirement Benefits
 
We provide most of our employees with certain retirement (pension) and postretirement (health care and life insurance) benefits. In order to measure the expense and obligations associated with these retirement benefits, management must make a variety of estimates, including discount rates used to value certain liabilities, expected return on plan assets set aside to fund these costs, rate of compensation increase, employee turnover rates, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. These accounting estimates bear the risk of change due to the uncertainty attached to the estimate as well as the fact that these estimates are difficult to measure. Different estimates used by management could result in our recognizing different amounts of expense over different periods of time.
 
We use third-party specialists to assist management in evaluating our assumptions as well as appropriately measuring the costs and obligations associated with these retirement benefits. The discount rate and expected return on plan assets are based primarily on investment yields available and the historical performance of our plan assets. They are critical accounting estimates because they are subject to management’s judgment and can materially affect net income.
 
The discount rate used effects the periodic recognition of the interest cost component of net periodic pension cost. It is based on rates at which the pension benefit obligation could effectively be settled on a present value basis. We develop the assumed weighted-average discount rate utilizing investment yields available at our determination date based on AA-rated corporate long-term bonds. Significant changes in the discount rate, such as those caused by changes in the yield curve, the mix of bonds available in the market, the duration of selected bonds, and the timing of expected benefit payments may result in volatility in pension expense and minimum pension liabilities. We lowered the discount rate in 2003 from 6.75% to 6.25% as a result of lower available yields on AA-rated corporate long-term bonds.
 
It is reasonably possible that we could have used a different estimate for the weighted-average discount rate in calculating annual pension expense. Holding other assumptions constant, for every 1% reduction in the discount rate, annual pension expense would increase by approximately $9.9 million before taxes. Holding other assumptions constant, for every 1% increase in the discount rate, annual pension expense would decrease by approximately $8.7 million before taxes.
 
On trailing 5-year and trailing 10-year bases, our actual returns on plan assets have exceeded the fiscal 2003 estimated long-term rate of return of 8.75%. This rate was adjusted in 2003 from the previous estimate of 9.25% due to the expectation that more modest returns will be obtained in the near future. The expected return on plan assets is recognized as part of the net periodic pension cost. The difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets is amortized over the expected remaining service life of employees, so there is a lag time between the market’s performance and its impact on plan results.
 
It is reasonably possible that we could have used a different estimate for the rate of return on plan assets in calculating pension expense. Holding other assumptions constant, for every 1% reduction in the expected rate of return on plan assets, annual pension expense would increase by approximately $4.3 million before taxes.
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners), whether they were previously held and used or newly acquired, and it also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. We implemented the provisions of SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” was issued. This Statement revises accounting for specified employee and contract terminations that are part of restructuring activities, but excludes restructuring activities related to operations acquired in a business combination. The Statement requires exit or disposal costs to be recorded when they are incurred, rather than at the date a formal exit plan is adopted, and can be measured at fair value. The provisions of this Statement were effective for activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We applied this Statement in accounting for restructuring activities initiated in 2003, and its implementation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2002, SFAS No. 148 was issued amending SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employment compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We intend to transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation beginning January 1, 2004. SFAS No. 148 provides two alternatives to effect the transition in 2004. In order to present information comparably, we have chosen the retroactive restatement option for transition as opposed to the modified prospective alternative. Retroactive restatement requires that compensation expense be recognized using the fair value method for all awards granted, modified, or settled for all periods presented in the basic financial statements as if the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted on its effective date. Compensation expense, net of tax, expected to be reflected in our restated financial statements as a result of the transition has been disclosed in accordance with SFAS No. 123. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 148 to have an impact on our results of operations that is materially different from the impact on our historical results of operations disclosed in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

 	 	49	 	Management’s Discussion and Analysis	

In December 2003, FASB Statement No. 132 (revised), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” was issued. Statement 132 (revised) prescribes employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans; it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. The Statement retains and revises the disclosure requirements contained in the original Statement 132. It also requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The Statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. We incorporated the disclosure requirements of Statement 132 (revised) in our 2003 consolidated financial statements.
 
On December 8, 2003, President Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”). The Act expands Medicare, primarily by adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligible participants starting in 2006. The Act provides employers currently sponsoring prescription drug programs for Medicare-eligible participants with a range of options for coordinating with the new government-sponsored program to potentially reduce program cost. These options include supplementing the government program on a secondary payer basis or accepting a direct subsidy from the government to support a portion of the cost of the employer’s program. In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.” The FSP requires that a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides prescription drug benefits disclose the existence of the Act, the fact that any measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or net periodic postretirement benefit cost do not reflect the effects of the Act on the plan, and any additional information that the sponsor has and believes is appropriate for the reader to understand the Act’s possible economic consequences for the sponsor, including whether the sponsor intends to amend the plan in light of the new legislation. We have chosen to defer recognition of the potential effects of the Act in 2003. Therefore, the retiree health obligations and costs reported in our consolidated financial statements do not yet reflect any potential impact of the Act. Specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the government subsidy is pending and that guidance, when issued, could require us to change previously reported information. In the months ahead, we intend to review our retiree health care strategy in light of the Act. As part of that review, we may consider amending our retiree health program to coordinate with the new Medicare prescription drug program or to receive the direct subsidy from the government.
 
In November 2002, FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34,” was issued. This Interpretation enhances the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation were applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and the disclosure requirements were effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. We made the applicable disclosures for our significant guarantees outstanding beginning with the year ended December 31, 2002. The recognition provisions of this statement were implemented in 2003 and did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” (“EITF 00-21”), regarding when a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting, and, if so, how consideration should be allocated. We have adopted EITF No. 00-21 for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The implementation did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. NATURE, FORMATION AND ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS
 
FMC Technologies, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries (“FMC Technologies” or the “Company”) is a global leader providing mission-critical solutions, based on innovative, industry-leading technologies, for the energy, food processing and air transportation industries. The Company designs, manufactures and services sophisticated machinery and systems for its customers through its Energy Systems (comprising Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems), FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses.
 
FMC Technologies was incorporated in Delaware on November 13, 2000, and was a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation until its initial public offering on June 14, 2001, when it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and sold 17.0% of its common stock to the public.
 
Through May 31, 2001, FMC Corporation operated the businesses of FMC Technologies as internal units of FMC Corporation through various divisions and subsidiaries, or through investments in unconsolidated affiliates. As of June 1, 2001, FMC Corporation contributed to FMC Technologies substantially all of the assets and liabilities of, and its interests in, the businesses that comprise FMC Technologies (the “Separation”).
 
FMC Technologies’ financial statements for periods prior to the Separation were carved out from the consolidated financial statements of FMC Corporation using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the transferred businesses and gave effect to certain allocations of expenses from FMC Corporation. These allocations, however, are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if FMC Technologies had operated as a separate entity in the past or of the costs the Company would expect to incur in periods subsequent to the Separation.
 
On December 31, 2001, FMC Corporation distributed its remaining 83.0% ownership of FMC Technologies’ common stock to FMC Corporation’s shareholders in the form of a dividend (the “Distribution”).
 
NOTE 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that it believes to be relevant under the circumstances. In particular, judgment is used in areas such as revenue recognition using the percentage of completion method of accounting, making estimates associated with the valuation of inventory and income tax assets, and accounting for retirement benefits and contingencies.
 
Principles of consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FMC Technologies and its majority-owned subsidiaries and affiliates. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Reclassifications — Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
 
Revenue recognition — Revenue from equipment sales is recognized either upon transfer of title to the customer (which is upon shipment or when customer-specific acceptance requirements are met) or under the percentage of completion method.
 
The percentage of completion method of accounting is used for construction-type manufacturing and assembly projects that involve significant design and engineering effort in order to satisfy detailed customer-supplied specifications. Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. The Company primarily applies the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs to measure this ratio; however, there are certain types of contracts where it consistently applies the ratio of units delivered to date — or units of work performed — as a percentage of total units, because it has been determined that these methods provide a more accurate measure of progress toward completion. If it is not possible to form a reliable estimate of progress toward completion, no revenues or costs are recognized until the project is complete or substantially complete. Any expected losses on construction-type contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period the losses become probable.
 
Modifications to construction-type contracts, referred to as “change orders,” effectively change the provisions of the original contract, and may, for example, alter the specifications or design, method or manner of performance, equipment, materials, sites, and/or period for completion of the work. If a change order represents a firm price commitment from a customer, the Company accounts for the revised estimate as if it had been included in the original estimate, effectively recognizing the pro rata impact of the new estimate on its calculation of progress toward completion in the period in which the firm commitment is received. If a change order is unpriced: (1) the Company includes the costs of contract performance in its calculation of progress toward completion in the period in which the costs are incurred or become probable; and (2) the Company includes the revenue related to the change order in its calculation of progress toward completion in the period in which it can be reliably estimated and realization is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. The assessment of realization may be based upon the Company’s previous experience with the customer or based upon the Company receiving a firm price commitment from the customer.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	58	 	 	

Revenue recorded relating to construction-type contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method amounted to $804.3 million, $678.9 million and $590.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During 2003, $97.9 million of revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method was associated with contracts that were completed during the year.
 
Service revenue is recognized as the service is provided.
 
Cash equivalents — The Company considers investments in all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Trade receivables — Prior to the Separation (Note 1), FMC Corporation entered into an accounts receivable financing facility under which trade receivables were sold without recourse through FMC Corporation’s wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. Certain of the trade receivables generated by the businesses ultimately contributed to FMC Technologies were sold as part of the facility. The Company discontinued the practice of financing trade receivables and terminated its participation in this facility during the first quarter of 2001. Upon withdrawal from the facility, the Company repurchased its outstanding trade receivables for $38.0 million in cash. The Company accounted for the sales of receivables in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 125, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,” through the date of termination of this facility.
 
Amounts included in trade receivables representing revenue in excess of billings on contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method amounted to $146.7 million and $87.8 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products prior to sale, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to distribute. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for all domestic inventories, except certain inventories relating to construction-type contracts, which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by the portion of these costs identified with revenue recognized. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine the cost for all other inventories.
 
Impairment of long-lived and intangible assets — Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment; identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization; capitalized software costs; and investments are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” A long-lived asset is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
 
Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.
 
Investments — Investments in the common stock of affiliated companies in which FMC Technologies’ ownership interest is 50% or less and in which FMC Technologies exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method after eliminating the effects of any material intercompany transactions. All other investments are carried at fair value or at cost, as appropriate.
 
Property, plant and equipment — Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements – 20 years, buildings – 20 to 50 years, and machinery and equipment – 3 to 18 years). Gains and losses are reflected in income upon the sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized.
 
Capitalized interest — Interest costs associated with the construction of certain long-lived assets are capitalized as part of the costs of those assets and are being amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Capitalized interest costs totaled $1.3 million, $2.5 million and $2.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
Capitalized software costs — Other assets include the capitalized cost of internal use software (including Internet web sites) totaling $10.2 million and $9.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These software costs include internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For internal use software, the useful lives range from three to seven years. For Internet web site costs, the estimated useful lives do not exceed three years.
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets — SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” eliminates the amortization of goodwill and acquired intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives. Goodwill and acquired intangible assets not subject to amortization are required to be tested for impairment on an annual basis (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002, and upon adoption, discontinued the amortization of goodwill and recorded a goodwill impairment loss amounting to $215.0 million before taxes ($193.8 million after tax). This loss was not the result of a change in the outlook of the businesses but was due to a change in the method of measuring goodwill impairment as required by the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company has established October 31 as the date of its annual test for impairment of goodwill. The Company’s acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7 to 40 years. None of the Company’s acquired intangible assets have been deemed to have indefinite lives.

 	 	59	 	Financial Statements	

Advance payments — Amounts advanced by customers as deposits on orders not yet billed and progress payments on construction-type contracts are classified as advance payments.
 
Reserve for discontinued operations — Reserves related to personal injury and product liability claims associated with the Company’s discontinued operations are recorded based on an actuarially-determined estimate of liabilities. The Company evaluates the estimate of these liabilities on a regular basis, and makes adjustments to the recorded liability balance to reflect current information regarding the estimated amount of future payments to be made on both reported claims and incurred but unreported claims. On an annual basis, the Company engages an actuary to prepare an estimate of the liability for these claims. The actuarial estimate of the liability is based upon the estimated number of pieces of equipment in use and the expected loss rate per unit and considers such factors as historical claim and settlement experience by year, recent trends in the number of claims and the cost of settlements, and available stop-loss insurance coverage. Actual settlements of self-insured product liabilities may be more or less than the liability estimated by the Company and the actuary.
 
Income taxes — Current income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable in the same year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
 
A valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
 
Income taxes are not provided on the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management’s intention that such earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided on such earnings in the year in which the decision is made to repatriate the earnings.
 
Stock-based employee compensation — The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan (Note 13). The Company currently accounts for awards made under this plan using the intrinsic value based method prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No employee compensation cost related to common stock options is reflected in net income (loss), as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost included in net income (loss) is related to restricted stock awards granted, which is recognized over the vesting period. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share assuming the Company had applied the fair value based method prescribed under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to common stock options:

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	60	 	 	

When compared with previously reported pro forma results, the 2002 and 2001 pro forma results include adjustments to the expense of certain stock options.
 
The 2001 pro forma results include the pro forma expense associated with options awarded by FMC Corporation, which were replaced on January 1, 2002, with options to purchase FMC Technologies’ common stock.
 
The Company intends to transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation beginning in 2004. SFAS No. 148 provides two alternatives to effect the transition in 2004. In order to present information comparably, the Company intends to choose the retroactive restatement option for transition rather than the modified prospective alternative. Retroactive restatement requires that compensation expense be recognized using the fair value method for all awards granted, modified or settled for all periods presented in the basic financial statements as if the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted on its effective date. As such, following the transition, the Company’s primary financial statements will reflect compensation expense, net of tax, as set forth in the table above.
 
Common stock held in employee benefit trust — Shares of the Company’s common stock are purchased by the plan administrator of the FMC Technologies, Inc. Non-Qualified Savings and Investment Plan and placed in a trust owned by the Company. Purchased shares are recorded at cost and classified as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Earnings per common share (“EPS”) — Basic EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution of earnings which could have occurred if additional shares were issued for stock option exercises and restricted stock under the treasury stock method.
 
Foreign currency translation — Assets and liabilities of foreign operations in non-highly inflationary countries are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated. For operations in highly inflationary countries and where the local currency is not the functional currency, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and other non-current assets are converted to U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates, and all gains or losses from conversion are included in net income. Foreign currency effects on cash and cash equivalents and debt in hyperinflationary economies are included in interest income or expense.
 
Derivative financial instruments and foreign currency transactions — On January 1, 2001, the Company implemented, on a prospective basis, SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138 (collectively, “SFAS No. 133”). SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments to be recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge and on the type of hedging transaction. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, the Company recorded first quarter 2001 losses from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $4.7 million, net of an income tax benefit of $2.9 million, in the consolidated statement of income, and $1.3 million, net of an income tax benefit of $0.9 million, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the underlying transactions. The 2001 cash outflow related to contracts settled as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 of $3.8 million is reported separately in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
The Company recognizes all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the maturity of the derivative instrument. Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings, at which time any deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in earnings on the same line as the hedged item. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative used as a cash flow hedge is recorded in earnings as incurred. The Company also uses forward contracts to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities. These contracts are not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133; therefore, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in earnings as they occur and offset gains or losses on the related asset or liability.
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements — In November 2002, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34,” was issued. This Interpretation enhances the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation were applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and the disclosure requirements were effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company incorporated the applicable disclosures for its significant guarantees outstanding beginning with the year ended December 31, 2002. The recognition provisions of this Interpretation were implemented in 2003 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
 
In December 2003, SFAS No. 132 (revised), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” was issued. SFAS No. 132 (revised) prescribes employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans; it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. The statement retains and revises the disclosure requirements contained in the original SFAS No. 132. It also requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company’s disclosures in Note 12 incorporate the requirements of SFAS No. 132 (revised).

 	 	61	 	Financial Statements	

In November 2002, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus regarding when a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting, and, if so, how consideration should be allocated. The new guidance, EITF Abstract No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” applies to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. While the conclusions in this consensus will not have an impact on the total amount of revenue recorded under an arrangement, they may have some impact on the timing of revenue recognition. Implementation of the provisions of this consensus did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
 
The following schedule reconciles the weighted-average number of shares used to calculate basic EPS, with the weighted-average number of shares used to calculate diluted EPS:

All options outstanding at December 31, 2003, which totaled 5.9 million, were dilutive and therefore were included in the EPS calculation for the year ended December 31, 2003. Options to purchase 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding at both December 31, 2002 and 2001, but were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the options’ exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.
 
The Company’s EPS calculations for 2001 give effect to the 65.0 million common shares issued pursuant to the Separation (Note 1), as if they were issued and outstanding on January 1, 2001.
 
NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, DIVESTITURES AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
 
Business combinations
 
CDS Engineering — On August 20, 2003, the Company acquired a 55% ownership interest in CDS Engineering and associated assets (“CDS”) for $50.0 million, and committed to purchase the remaining 45% ownership interest in CDS in 2009 at a purchase price of approximately 6.5 times the average of 45% of CDS’ 2007 and 2008 earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Headquartered in the Netherlands, CDS is an industry leader in gas and liquids separation technology and equipment for surface applications, both onshore and offshore. The Company believes that significant growth potential will be realized from incorporating CDS’ processing technology and experience with the Company’s broad customer base. In addition, combining the acquired technology of CDS with the Company’s existing expertise in subsea systems could lead to the development of subsea separation systems. CDS is included in the Energy Production Systems business segment.
 
Net cash paid for the purchase of CDS was $44.2 million, which included acquisition-related costs of $0.7 million. The total acquisition cost of $50.0 million reflected net cash paid plus long-term debt assumed of $6.9 million, less an adjustment of $1.1 million, reflecting the minority interest in cash and long-term debt. The cash payment was funded through borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facilities. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a purchase and included the results of operations of the acquired business in its consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	62

All of the acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are subject to amortization, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 22 years.
 
Goodwill, which has been allocated to the Energy Production Systems business segment, is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
 
RampSnake® — On November 26, 2003, the Company acquired 100% ownership of RampSnake A/S (“RampSnake”) from SAS, parent company of Scandinavian Airlines, for $5.2 million. Incorporated under the laws of Denmark, RampSnake has developed a baggage loading and unloading product for narrow-body aircraft. The acquisition of RampSnake is expected to complement the Company’s existing aircraft loader product line, whose primary application has been in the wide-body aircraft market. RampSnake is included in the Airport Systems business segment.
 
The purchase price for RampSnake of $5.2 million included acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million. The Company paid $2.0 million to the seller on November 26, 2003, the closing date of the transaction. The cash payment was funded through borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facilities. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the remaining purchase price of $3.0 million is payable to the seller in two installments: $2.0 million due on November 26, 2004, and $1.0 million due on November 26, 2005, and is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s December 31, 2003, consolidated balance sheet. The Company included the results of operations of the acquired business in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition.
 
The estimated fair value of current assets recorded at the acquisition date was $0.8 million. Goodwill relating to this transaction totaled $4.4 million, of which $2.2 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has not finalized the valuation of certain assets; therefore, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement.

 	 	63	 	Financial Statements	

Had the acquisitions of CDS and RampSnake occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, the Company’s earnings per share would not have been significantly different from the amounts reported. Accordingly, pro forma financial information has not been provided.
 
Divestiture
 
During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company divested FoodTech’s U.S. agricultural harvester machinery product line. Management had determined that the product line did not fit within FoodTech’s business strategy. In conjunction with the divestiture, the Company sold assets (excluding real estate) and recorded certain costs related to restructuring and impairment (Note 5). The total pre-tax impact on 2003 income was a loss of $1.2 million, which was included in cost of sales and services on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.
 
Had the divestiture occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, the Company’s earnings per share would not have been significantly different from the amounts reported. Accordingly, pro forma financial information has not been provided.
 
Assets held for sale
 
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, assets held for sale included $2.5 million (representing assets of $2.9 million and liabilities of $0.4 million) associated with research and development activities for one type of measurement technology included in the Energy Processing Systems business segment. In the fourth quarter of 2002, management committed to a plan to sell this asset group. Circumstances during 2003 extended the period of time that management had originally estimated would be required to complete the sale. Management is continuing with a plan to sell the asset group in 2004.
 
At December 31, 2003, assets held for sale also included $0.6 million, representing real estate related to, but not included in, the divestiture of FoodTech’s U.S. agricultural harvester machinery product line.
 
NOTE 5. ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
 
The Company recorded asset impairment and restructuring charges totaling $3.4 million before taxes ($2.1 million after tax) and $16.8 million before taxes ($10.4 million after tax), during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2001, respectively. These amounts are included in cost of sales and services in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded asset impairment and restructuring charges of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Asset impairment charges included $1.0 million related to real estate associated with the divestiture of a FoodTech product line (Note 4). In addition, $0.8 million in asset impairment charges related to the write-down of a long-lived asset in the Energy Production Systems business segment. Restructuring charges, also associated with the divestiture of a FoodTech product line, consisted of $1.1 million related to a reduction in workforce and $0.5 million related to contract termination and other costs. The Company expects to complete the spending associated with this restructuring program during the second quarter of 2004.
 
During 2001, the Company recorded asset impairment and restructuring charges of $1.3 million and $15.5 million, respectively. The asset impairment charge of $1.3 million reflected the write-off of goodwill associated with a FoodTech product line, which management decided not to develop further. The Company’s 2001 restructuring focused on lowering its cost structure in response to the slowing U.S. and global economies and the reduction in airline travel. Headcount was reduced in each of the Company’s business segments and at its corporate office. This resulted in a total of $15.5 million in restructuring charges, of which $5.1 million related to planned reductions in workforce in the Energy Processing Systems businesses; $1.1 million related to reductions in workforce in the Energy Production Systems businesses; $5.2 million related to reductions in workforce in the FoodTech businesses; $3.7 million related to a planned plant closing and restructuring activities in the Airport Systems businesses; and $0.4 million was for other corporate initiatives. At December 31, 2002, restructuring reserves relating to the 2001 programs were not material. During 2003, the 2001 restructuring programs were completed.

Inventories accounted for under the LIFO method totaled $84.9 million and $78.6 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The current replacement costs of LIFO inventories exceeded their recorded values by $86.7 million and $83.7 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2002 and 2001, the Company reduced certain LIFO inventories which were carried at costs lower than the current replacement costs. The result was a decrease in cost of sales and services by approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no reductions of LIFO inventory in 2003.
 
NOTE 7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

	 	 	2002

	 	
Land and land improvements	  	$	18.5	 	 	$	18.0

Property, plant and equipment, net	  	$	327.9	 	 	$	306.1	 	

	

	

	 	

	

	

	
 
Depreciation expense was $48.2 million, $40.1 million and $37.7 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
In March 2003, the Company elected to pay $35.9 million to repurchase equipment and terminate certain sale-leaseback obligations. The effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was an increase in property, plant and equipment of $15.0 million and a reversal of the $20.9 million in non-amortizing credits recognized in connection with the original transaction, which were included in other liabilities. Termination of these sale-leaseback obligations did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
 
During 2003, one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries implemented a functional currency change which resulted in a $12.4 million reduction in property, plant and equipment, net, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
NOTE 8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired individually or as part of a group of other assets not constituting a business. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the subsequent accounting for and continuing valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets.
 
Goodwill — During 2002, the carrying amount of goodwill reflected the impairment loss recognized upon adoption of the new accounting standard. The reported pre-tax impairment loss of $215.0 million ($193.8 million after tax) related to FoodTech ($117.4 million before taxes; $98.3 million after tax) and Energy Processing Systems ($97.6 million before taxes; $95.5 million after tax). The after-tax impairment loss was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
 
The impairment loss was calculated at the reporting unit level, and represents the excess of the carrying value of reporting unit goodwill over its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined by a two-step process. The first compared the fair value of the reporting unit (measured as the present value of expected future cash flows) to its carrying amount. Then, a second step was performed if the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. In this case, the fair value of the reporting unit was allocated to its assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of goodwill, which was used to measure the impairment loss. All of the Company’s reporting units were tested for impairment during the first quarter of 2002 in conjunction with the implementation of SFAS No. 142.

 	 	65	 	Financial Statements	

Annual testing for impairment performed subsequent to the implementation of SFAS No. 142 has not resulted in the recognition of any additional goodwill impairment losses.
 
Goodwill by business segment was as follows:

Total goodwill	  	$	118.2	  	$	83.6	

	

	  	

	

	
 
The change in the carrying value of goodwill in 2003 was related to the impact of business combinations (Note 4) and foreign currency translation.
 
The adoption of SFAS No. 142’s provisions relating to goodwill amortization resulted in the Company discontinuing the amortization of goodwill beginning January 1, 2002. Goodwill amortization expense recognized in 2001 was as follows:

NOTE 9. DEBT
 
Committed credit — During 2001, the Company obtained a five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on April 26, 2006. In April 2003, the Company renewed its 364-day $150.0 million revolving credit facility. Among other restrictions, the terms of these credit agreements include negative covenants related to liens, and financial covenants related to consolidated tangible net worth, debt to earnings ratios and interest coverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with all of these covenants as of December 31, 2003. Both of the revolving credit facilities carry an effective interest rate of 100 basis points above the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and together they provide the Company with an aggregate of $400.0 million in committed credit. One-month LIBOR was 1.12% at December 31, 2003.
 
Available capacity under the five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit associated with this facility, which totaled $21.4 million as of December 31, 2003. Unused capacity under both revolving credit facilities at December 31, 2003, totaled $328.6 million, consisting of $178.6 million under the five-year $250.0 million revolving credit facility and all of the 364-day $150.0 million revolving credit facility.
 
Uncommitted credit — The Company has uncommitted credit, consisting of two domestic money-market credit facilities totaling $20.0 million at December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company has uncommitted credit lines at many of its international subsidiaries for immaterial amounts. The Company utilizes these facilities to provide a more efficient daily source of liquidity. The effective interest rates depend upon the local national market. For the domestic credit facilities, rates are approximately 100 basis points over the prevailing Federal funds rate traded in the money markets. At December 31, 2003, $5.0 million was outstanding under the domestic uncommitted credit facilities.
 
Commercial paper — The Company initiated a commercial paper program in the first quarter of 2003 to provide an alternative vehicle for meeting short-term funding requirements. Under this program and subject to available capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facilities, the Company has the ability to access up to $400.0 million of short-term financing through its commercial paper dealers.
 
Short-term debt — Short-term debt consisted of the following:

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	68	 	 	

Borrowings under the 364-day revolving committed credit facility carried an effective interest rate of 2.3% at December 31, 2002. Borrowings under the domestic uncommitted credit facilities carried effective interest rates of 1.7% and 2.3% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Borrowings under foreign uncommitted credit facilities carried effective interest rates of 6.5% and 7.6% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
The Company has an uncommitted credit agreement with MODEC International LLC, a 37.5%-owned joint venture, whereby MODEC International LLC loans its excess cash to the Company. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, short-term debt included $15.2 million and $23.4 million, respectively, of borrowings from MODEC International LLC. Under terms of the credit agreement, the interest rate is based on the monthly weighted-average interest rate the Company pays on its domestic credit facilities and commercial paper, which was 1.3% and 2.2% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

(1)	Committed credit available under the five-year revolving credit facility provides the ability to refinance the Company’s commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis; therefore, at December 31, 2003, the Company’s total commercial paper outstanding was classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheet.	
 
Maturities of total long-term debt as of December 31, 2003, are payable as follows: $0.1 million in 2004, $0.1 million in 2005, $200.2 million in 2006, $0.1 million in 2007, $0.1 million in 2008 and $0.6 million thereafter.
 
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement maturing in June 2004, related to $50.0 million of its long-term borrowings, that fixes the interest rate thereon at 5.92%. The interest rate swap is accounted for as a cash flow hedge, and its fair value is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on the December 31, 2003 and 2002 consolidated balance sheets. The Company also has interest rate swaps related to $150.0 million of its commercial paper borrowings. The effect of these interest rate swaps is to fix the effective annual interest rate of these borrowings at 2.9%. The swaps mature in June 2008, are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and are included at fair value in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003.

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amount of net deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance included the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
Included in the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 31, 2003, are foreign tax credit carryforwards, which, if not utilized, will expire no later than 2008 and domestic net operating loss carryforwards, which, if not utilized, will expire no later than 2023. Also included in deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards attributable to foreign entities. Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to utilize certain operating loss carryforwards before expiration; therefore, the Company has established a valuation allowance with regard to the related deferred tax assets. Realization of the Company’s remaining net deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of domestic taxable income. Based on long-term forecasts of operating results, management believes that it is more likely than not that domestic earnings over this period will support this level of domestic taxable income. In its analysis, management has considered the effect of foreign deemed dividends and other expected adjustments to domestic earnings that are required in determining domestic taxable income. Foreign earnings taxable to the Company as dividends were $30.3 million, $24.9 million and $153.9 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The cumulative balance of these undistributed earnings was $509.1 million at December 31, 2003. It is not practicable to determine the amount of applicable taxes that would be incurred if any of such earnings were repatriated.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	72	 	 	

FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement in connection with the Separation (Note 1). For tax years prior to 2002, the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries were included in the federal consolidated and certain state and foreign tax returns of FMC Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are liable for all taxes for all periods prior to the Separation which are related to its operations, computed as if the Company and its subsidiaries were a separate group filing its own tax returns for such periods. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides that the Company and FMC Corporation will make payments between them as appropriate in order to properly allocate the group’s tax liabilities for pre-Separation periods.
 
The Company’s income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2001, included $8.9 million in charges associated with the Separation. Of this amount, $4.2 million was incurred as a result of restructuring transactions related to the Company’s reorganization of its worldwide group and $4.7 million was incurred on the repatriation of $126.4 million of the Company’s foreign earnings in connection with the Separation (Note 1). Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement between the Company and FMC Corporation, FMC Corporation assumed liability for certain additional tax charges related to this repatriation.
 
The Tax Sharing Agreement placed certain restrictions upon FMC Technologies regarding the sale of assets, the sale or issuance of additional securities (including securities convertible into stock) or the entry into some types of corporate transactions during a restriction period that continues for 30 months after the Distribution (i.e., through June 30, 2004). Management believes that the restrictions under the Tax Sharing Agreement do not place a significant limitation on the Company’s ability to engage in strategic transactions.
 
FMC Corporation’s federal income tax returns for years through 1999 have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and are closed for federal income tax purposes. As a result of these examinations, the Company paid $4.2 million to FMC Corporation in 2002 pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement. Management believes that adequate provision for income taxes has been made for remaining open tax years.
 
NOTE 11. RESERVE FOR DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
The reserve for discontinued operations represents the Company’s self-insured product liabilities associated with equipment manufactured by FMC Corporation’s discontinued machinery businesses. Under the terms of the Separation (Note 1), the Company assumed product liabilities associated with certain businesses, including the construction equipment, power control, beverage equipment and marine and rail divisions. In addition to product liability, the reserve includes estimated costs for claims administration and insurance coverage. The reserve for discontinued operations amounted to $12.9 million and $18.1 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
There were no increases to the reserve during the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. Payments related to discontinued operations, primarily related to product liability claims associated with cranes that had been manufactured by the construction equipment group, amounted to $5.2 million, $5.3 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
The Company believes its existing reserves, based on the most current estimate of potential loss, are adequate. However, it is possible that the ultimate settlement cost of all discontinued operations’ claim liabilities could differ materially from the recorded reserve. Management cannot predict with certainty the timing of cash flows for settlements and costs in 2004 or in future years.
 
The Company maintains insurance coverage limiting its exposure to $2.75 million for any individual product liability claim.
 
NOTE 12. PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
 
The Company has funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans that together cover substantially all of its U.S. employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Foreign-based employees are eligible to participate in Company-sponsored or government-sponsored benefit plans to which the Company contributes. One of the foreign defined benefit pension plans sponsored by the Company provides for employee contributions; the remaining plans are noncontributory.
 
The Company has other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. The postretirement health care plans are contributory; the postretirement life insurance plans are noncontributory.
 
Effective at various dates in 2001, all benefit obligations, including the Company’s postretirement health care and life insurance obligations, were legally separated from those of FMC Corporation and separate plans were established by the Company. As a result, the Company’s benefit plans assumed the assets and liabilities associated with benefits for FMC Technologies’ employees and the terminated vested employees and retirees of FMC Corporation’s machinery businesses.
 
The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the majority of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
 
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company’s benefit obligation under the postretirement health care plan was fully capped at the 2002 benefit level, which resulted in a reduction in the benefit obligation and annual benefit cost of $1.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition, in September 2002, the Company announced changes to other postretirement benefits effective January 1, 2003. These changes resulted in a reduction in the benefit obligation and annual benefit cost of $7.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

(1)	Effective May 1, 2001, the Company’s U.S. pension obligations were separated from FMC Corporation’s qualified pension plans and, effective November 1, 2001, a separate trust was established for custody and investment of these assets. The initial allocation of assets and obligations between the Company’s and FMC Corporation’s plans and trusts was based on estimates. Interim adjustments to these allocations are in accordance with the Separation and Distribution Agreement (Note 17) and with applicable ERISA guidelines and are defined as “spin-off adjustments.” The final allocation of obligations was determined and completed during 2002.

The change in the discount rate used in determining U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, from 6.75% in 2002 to 6.25% in 2003, increased the projected benefit obligation by $29.9 million.
 
The change in the discount rate used in determining U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, from 7.00% in 2001 to 6.75% in 2002, increased the projected benefit obligation by $12.8 million.
 
The expected rate of return on plan assets is a critical accounting estimate because of its potential variability and significant impact on the amounts reported. The Company’s estimate is based primarily on the historical performance of plan assets. On trailing five-year and trailing ten-year bases, actual returns on plan assets have exceeded the fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004 expected rate of return of 8.75%.

The Company’s pension investment strategy emphasizes maximizing returns, consistent with ensuring that sufficient assets are available to meet liabilities, and minimizing corporate cash contributions. Investment managers are retained to invest 100% of discretionary funds and are provided a high level of freedom in asset allocation. Targets include: generating returns exceeding the change in the S&P 500 index by 200 basis points, net of fees; performing in the top quartile of all large U.S. pension plans; and obtaining an absolute rate of return at least equal to the discount rate used to value plan liabilities.
 
The Company expects to contribute approximately $17 million to its pension plans in 2004. Of this amount, $15 million will be contributed to the U.S. qualified pension plan, which does not have minimum funding requirements for 2004. The entire contribution will be made at management’s discretion. The remaining $2 million will be contributed to the U.K. qualified pension plan and the U.S. non-qualified pension plan. All of the contributions are expected to be in the form of cash. In 2003 and 2002, the Company contributed $18.6 million and $34.6 million to the pension plans, respectively, which included $15.0 million and $32.2 million, respectively, to the domestic qualified pension plan.

Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees eligible to receive benefits under the plan.
 
In 2003, the expected rate of return on plan assets was reduced from 9.25% to 8.75% to reflect current market conditions. This change increased the 2003 net annual benefit cost by $1.9 million.
 
For measurement purposes, 8.5% and 10.0% increases in the per capita cost of health care benefits for pre-age 65 retirees and post-age 65 retirees are assumed for 2004. The rates of increase are forecast to decrease gradually to 6.0% in 2009 and remain at that level thereafter.
 
Assumed health care cost trend rates will not have an effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement health care plan since the Company’s benefit obligation under the plan was fully capped at the 2002 benefit level. A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a significant effect on total service and interest costs or on the Company’s postretirement health care obligation under this plan.
 
On December 8, 2003, President Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”). The Act expands Medicare, primarily by adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligible participants starting in 2006. The Act provides employers currently sponsoring prescription drug programs for Medicare-eligible participants with a range of options for coordinating with the new government-sponsored program to potentially reduce program cost. These options include supplementing the government program on a secondary payor basis or accepting a direct subsidy from the government to support a portion of the cost of the employer’s program.
 
The Company has chosen to defer recognition of the potential effects of the Act in 2003. Therefore, the retiree health obligations and costs reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not yet reflect any potential impact of the Act. Specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the government subsidy is pending and that guidance, when issued, could require the Company to change previously reported information.
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” for its pension plans covering employees in the United Kingdom and Canada; and for one pension plan in Germany. Pension expense measured in compliance with SFAS No. 87 for other non-U.S. pension plans is not materially different from the locally reported pension expense. The cost of providing pension benefits for foreign employees was $7.4 million in 2003, $5.5 million in 2002 and $4.2 million in 2001.
 
On September 28, 2001, the Company’s employees’ assets were separated from the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan and transferred to the Company’s newly established plan, FMC Technologies, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan, a qualified salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. In 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized expense of $8.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively, for matching contributions to this plan. In 2001, the Company recognized expense of $7.9 million, reflecting FMC Technologies’ share of matching contributions to the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan.
 
NOTE 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The FMC Technologies, Inc. Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the “Plan”), approved on February 16, 2001, provides certain incentives and awards to officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or its affiliates. The Plan allows the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to make various types of awards to non-employee directors and the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board to make various types of awards to other eligible individuals.
 
Awards include management incentive awards, common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units. All awards are subject to the Plan’s provisions.

 	 	77	 	Financial Statements	

Under the Plan, an aggregate of 12.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to participants in the Plan, subject to a maximum of 8.0 million shares for grants of restricted stock, common stock and stock units. These shares are in addition to shares previously granted by FMC Corporation and converted into approximately 4.5 million potentially issuable shares of the Company’s common stock. At December 31, 2003, approximately 8.2 million shares were available for future grant under the Plan.
 
Management incentive awards may be awards of cash, common stock options, restricted stock or a combination thereof. Grants of common stock options may be incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. Under the plan, the exercise price for options cannot be less than the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options generally vest over a period of one to four years and expire not later than 10 years after the grant date. Restricted stock grants specify any applicable performance goals, the time and rate of vesting and such other provisions as determined by the Committee.
 
Awards to non-employee directors currently consist of nonqualified common stock options, restricted stock or stock units. Common stock options awarded to non-employee directors prior to the Plan’s adoption consisted of approximately 17,000 vested unexercised options at December 31, 2003, and are exercisable upon each director’s retirement from the Board. Restricted stock awarded to non-employee directors subsequent to 1999 totaled approximately 65,000 shares at December 31, 2003. Restricted stock vests one year from the date of award, but cannot be distributed to a director until his or her retirement from the Board. The Plan also provides that $25,000 of each non-employee director’s annual retainer of $40,000 will be paid in the form of stock units. Each non-employee director may also elect to have the remaining annual retainer, currently $15,000, paid in the form of stock units. Stock units accrued under this portion of the Plan totaled approximately 65,000 units at December 31, 2003.

Prior to adoption of the Plan, certain employees of the Company and certain employees of FMC Corporation who provided services to the Company were granted restricted stock under the incentive compensation plans of FMC Corporation. In conjunction with the Separation (Note 1), all restricted stock issued by FMC Corporation to employees of the Company was cancelled, and new restricted stock was issued by the Company at an equivalent value and with an identical vesting date. Under the Company’s and its predecessor’s plans, the Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants of $3.5 million, $5.1 million and $8.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 15. FOREIGN CURRENCY
 
The Company mitigates a substantial portion of its transactional exposure to variability in foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedges with third parties. In 2003, foreign currency transactional exposures were most affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the Norwegian krone, the Swedish krona, and the Brazilian real. In 2002, foreign currency transactional exposures were most affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Norwegian krone, the Swedish krona, the euro, and the British pound, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real. Foreign currency exposures in 2001 were affected primarily by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Swedish krona, the Japanese yen, the euro, and the Brazilian real. The aggregate foreign currency transaction gain, net of gains or losses on forward exchange contracts, included in determining net income was $0.9 million, $1.6 million and $8.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
During 2003, the Company’s earnings were positively affected by earnings denominated in foreign currencies due to the translation of the Company’s foreign currency-denominated sales, partly offset by the effect of paying certain local operating costs in the same foreign currencies. This positive translation impact was the result of the U.S. dollar weakening against many foreign currencies, primarily the euro, the Norwegian krone and the Swedish krona. The Company’s 2002 earnings were also positively affected by the earnings denominated in foreign currencies due to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Norwegian krone, the Swedish krona, the euro, and the British pound. There was no significant impact on the Company’s 2001 earnings as a direct result of sales or expenses denominated in foreign currencies.
 
The foreign currency translation adjustment, resulting from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation gain (loss) was $26.1 million, $32.1 million and $(31.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Included in the foreign currency translation gain in 2003 was a $12.8 million loss related to the cumulative effect of a change in functional currency of a foreign subsidiary, of which $12.4 million represented a reduction in property, plant and equipment, net.
 
NOTE 16. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
 
Derivative financial instruments — The Company uses derivative instruments to manage certain of its foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Company policy allows for the use of derivative financial instruments only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes where the objective is to generate profits. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, derivative financial instruments consisted primarily of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts.
 
With respect to foreign currency exchange rate risk, the Company’s objective is to limit potential volatility in functional currency based earnings or cash flows from adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements. The Company’s foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency, primarily anticipated purchases of raw materials or services and sales of finished product, and the settlement of receivables and payables. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the Brazilian real, the British pound, the euro, the Japanese yen, the Norwegian krone, the Singapore dollar, the Swedish krona, and the U.S. dollar.
 
Except in certain emerging markets where local trading is more efficient, derivative contracts are executed centrally from the corporate office. For anticipated transactions, the Company enters into external derivative contracts which individually correlate with each exposure in terms of currency and maturity, and the amount of the contract does not exceed the amount of the exposure being hedged. For foreign currency exposures recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, such as accounts receivable or payable, the Company evaluates and monitors consolidated net exposures, and ensures that external derivative financial instruments correlate with that net exposure in all material respects.
 
With respect to interest rate risk, the Company’s objective is to limit its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates related to debt. To meet this objective, management enters into interest rate swap agreements, which either change the variable cash flows on debt obligations to fixed cash flows or vice versa. The Company continually assesses interest rate cash flow risk by monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows attributable to the Company’s outstanding or forecasted debt obligations.

At December 31, 2003, the net deferred hedging gain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $5.6 million, of which a net gain of $4.9 million is expected to be recognized in earnings during the twelve months ending December 31, 2004, at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized, and a net gain of $0.7 million is expected to be recognized at various times from January 1, 2005, through November 30, 2012. At December 31, 2002, the net deferred hedging gain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $3.9 million.
 
Hedge ineffectiveness and the portion of derivative gains or losses excluded from assessments of hedge effectiveness related to the Company’s outstanding cash flow hedges, and which were recorded in earnings during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, were net gains of approximately $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
 
Fair value disclosures — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, short and long-term debt, as well as the amounts included in investments, current liabilities and other liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.
 
NOTE 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
FMC Corporation — FMC Technologies was a subsidiary of FMC Corporation until the Distribution of FMC Technologies’ common stock by FMC Corporation on December 31, 2001 (Note 1).
 
FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation entered into certain agreements which define key provisions related to the Separation (Note 1) and the ongoing relationship between the two companies after the Separation. These agreements included a Transition Services Agreement, a Separation and Distribution Agreement, and a Tax Sharing Agreement.
 
The Transition Services Agreement governed the provision of support services between the companies during the period subsequent to the Separation. The support services included accounting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, information technology, cash management, risk management, real estate management and other corporate and infrastructure services. By the end of 2002, substantially all transition services between the companies had ceased, except for a common payroll and benefit administration service center, which the companies discontinued using in 2003.
 
The Separation and Distribution Agreement (“SDA”) outlined the conditions of the Separation. In conjunction with the Separation, FMC Technologies remitted $480.1 million to FMC Corporation in exchange for the assets contributed by FMC Corporation to FMC Technologies. The $480.1 million payment was funded with proceeds from $280.9 million of borrowings under revolving debt facilities and $207.2 million from FMC Technologies’ initial public offering, net of $8.0 million used to cover the expenses of the initial public offering.
 
The SDA also defined a “true-up” process to identify any required adjustments to the original allocation of assets and liabilities between the two companies at the Separation. As part of the true-up process, an assumption was made that FMC Technologies began operating as an independent entity on January 1, 2001, with debt, net of cash, of $300.5 million after repurchasing $38.0 million of accounts receivable previously sold in connection with FMC Corporation’s accounts receivable financing program. Adjustments related to the true-up process are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as increases or decreases in the applicable assets or liabilities with an offset to capital in excess of par value of common stock. Settlement of assets and liabilities arising from transactions with FMC Corporation relating to periods prior to June 1, 2001, were reflected as net equity contributions from FMC Corporation.
 
During 2001, the Company paid $23.0 million to FMC Corporation relating to the true-up process and the settlement of outstanding amounts owed for transition services. During 2002, the Company paid $4.4 million to FMC Corporation and received $4.7 million from FMC Corporation related to the true-up process. The $4.7 million received in 2002 was recorded on the balance sheet in 2001.

FMC Technologies, Inc. 2003 Annual Report	 	82	 	 	

The Tax Sharing Agreement (Note 10) provided that FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation would make payments between them as appropriate in order to properly allocate tax liabilities for pre-Separation periods. During 2002, the Company paid $4.2 million to FMC Corporation relating to income tax liabilities for pre-Separation periods.
 
Prior to the establishment of FMC Technologies’ employee benefit plans in 2001 (Note 12), the Company made contributions to FMC Corporation’s benefit plans or reimbursed FMC Corporation for the costs of benefits it provided to the Company’s employees. These contributions and reimbursements totaled $10.5 million in 2001.
 
Prior to the Separation, FMC Corporation was the guarantor for certain obligations related to the businesses of FMC Technologies, including debt, surety bonds, performance guarantees, and letters of credit. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, FMC Corporation’s contingent obligations on behalf of FMC Technologies amounted to $2.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of guarantees for FMC Technologies’ performance on sales contracts. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, FMC Corporation’s contingent obligations on behalf of FMC Technologies were reduced to $0.1 million. As parties to the SDA, FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies each indemnify the other party from liabilities arising from their respective businesses or contracts, from liabilities arising from breach of the SDA, from certain claims made prior to the spin-off of the Company from FMC Corporation, and for claims related to discontinued operations (Note 20).
 
MODEC International LLC and MODEC, Inc. — The Company has an uncommitted credit agreement with MODEC International LLC, a 37.5%-owned joint venture, whereby MODEC International LLC loans its excess cash to the Company (Note 9).
 
MODEC, Inc., the parent of the Company’s joint venture partner in MODEC International LLC, completed an initial public offering of approximately 11% of its common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in July 2003. Beginning in May 2004, the Company will have an annual right during the 120-day period following the issuance of the annual report of MODEC, Inc. to convert all or a portion of its joint venture interest in MODEC International LLC into shares of common stock of MODEC, Inc., or, at MODEC, Inc.’s option, a combination of cash and common stock with total equivalent value. The conversion right expires on December 31, 2020. The number of shares of MODEC, Inc. obtainable upon any such conversion is determined pursuant to a formula based on the relative contribution of the operating results of MODEC International LLC to the income of MODEC, Inc., for the two fiscal years preceding such conversion. The Company has no current plans to convert its joint venture interest in MODEC International LLC and there can be no assurance as to the timing or terms of any such conversion.
 
NOTE 18. WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company provides for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized and when additional specific obligations are identified. The obligation reflected in the consolidated balance sheets is based on historical experience by product, and considers failure rates and the related costs incurred in correcting a product failure. The Company believes its methodology provides a reasonable estimate of its liability. Warranty cost and accrual information is as follows:

NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
Commitments — The Company leases office space, manufacturing facilities and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment. Leases of real estate generally provide for payment of property taxes, insurance and repairs by the Company. Substantially all leases are classified as operating leases for accounting purposes. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to $30.8 million, $28.5 million and $32.1 million, in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
Minimum future rental payments under noncancelable leases amounted to approximately $118.5 million as of December 31, 2003, and are payable as follows: $24.8 million in 2004, $20.9 million in 2005, $14.7 million in 2006, $11.8 million in 2007, $10.4 million in 2008 and $35.9 million thereafter.
 
Under the terms of the CDS acquisition (Note 4), the Company committed to purchase the remaining 45% ownership interest in CDS in 2009 at a purchase price of approximately 6.5 times the average of 45% of CDS’ 2007 and 2008 earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company intends to account for the purchase of the remaining 45% ownership interest in CDS under the purchase method.

 	 	83	 	Financial Statements	

Under the terms of the RampSnake purchase agreement (Note 4), $3.0 million of the purchase price is payable to the seller in two remaining installments: $2.0 million due on November 26, 2004, and $1.0 million due on November 26, 2005. These amounts are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s December 31, 2003, consolidated balance sheet.
 
Contingent liabilities — In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company issues standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled approximately $374 million at December 31, 2003, represented guarantees of the Company’s future performance. The Company had also provided approximately $18 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure existing financial obligations of the Company. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years, at which time the Company expects to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. At December 31, 2003, the Company also had guarantees relating to third party financial obligations of approximately $6 million.
 
The Company has guaranteed the debt of one of its customers. This guarantee expires in May 2006. At December 31, 2003, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to make under this guarantee is $2.7 million. Should the Company be required to make any payments under this guarantee, it may rely upon its security interest (consisting of a second mortgage) in certain of the customer’s real estate to satisfy the guarantee. Management believes that proceeds from foreclosure are likely to cover a substantial portion of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under the guarantee. Any deficiency payment required is not likely to be material to the Company’s results of operations.
 
FMC Corporation was the guarantor for certain obligations related to the businesses of FMC Technologies (Note 17).
 
The Company was primarily liable for an Industrial Development Revenue Bond payable to Franklin County, Ohio, until the obligations under the bond were assigned to a third party when the Company sold the land securing the bond. At December 31, 2003, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to make under this bond is $5.4 million through final maturity in October 2009. Should the Company be required to make any payments under the bond, it may recover the property from the current owner, sell the property and use the proceeds to satisfy its payments under the bond. Management believes that proceeds from the sale of the property would cover a substantial portion of the potential future payments required.
 
At December 31, 2003, the Company was in the process of negotiating contract change orders associated with a petroleum loading system contract between Sonatrach – TRC, the Algerian Oil and Gas Company (“Sonatrach”) and the floating production systems business, which is part of Energy Production Systems. During the third quarter of 2003, Sonatrach asked the Company to evaluate a change in buoy locations. Management made an assessment of these scope changes on the project’s cost and schedule, and submitted change orders to Sonatrach. The Company has recognized revenue on this contract to the extent of actual costs incurred.
 
The Company’s management believes that the ultimate resolution of its known contingencies will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
The Company has certain other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Contingent matters associated with the Company’s discontinued operations are discussed in Note 11, while legal proceedings are discussed in Note 20.
 
NOTE 20. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company and FMC Corporation are named defendants in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. Under the SDA (Note 17), FMC Corporation is required to indemnify the Company for certain claims made prior to the spin-off of the Company from FMC Corporation, as well as for other claims related to discontinued operations. The Company expects that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for the majority of these claims. Certain claims have been asserted subsequent to the spin-off; and while the ultimate responsibility for these claims cannot yet be determined due to lack of identification of the products or premises involved, the Company also expects that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for a majority of these claims.
 
In February 2003, the Company initiated court action in the Judicial District Court in Harris County, Texas, against ABB Lummus Global, Inc., seeking recovery of scheduled payments owed and compensatory, punitive and other damages. A trial is currently scheduled to begin in April 2004.
 
In August 2002, the Company initiated court action in the United Kingdom to confirm that certain components of its subsea production systems’ designs do not conflict with a patent issued to Cooper Cameron Corporation (“Cooper Cameron”) in Europe. In response, Cooper Cameron initiated court action alleging infringement of certain of its U.K. patents. A trial of these claims before a specialized patent judge is currently scheduled to occur in March 2004. In January 2004, Cooper Cameron filed an action in Federal District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of two United States patents that correspond to the U.K. patents at issue in the pending action in the United Kingdom.
 
While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 21. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
The Company’s determination of its four reportable segments was made on the basis of its strategic business units and the commonalities among the products and services within each segment, and corresponds to the manner in which the Company’s management reviews and evaluates operating performance. The Company has combined certain similar operating segments that meet applicable criteria established under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”
 
Total revenue by segment includes intersegment sales, which are made at prices approximating those that the selling entity is able to obtain on external sales. Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, net interest income (expense) associated with corporate debt facilities and investments, income taxes, and other expense, net.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of FMC Technologies, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FMC Technologies, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FMC Technologies, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” as of January 1, 2002.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The consolidated financial statements and related information have been prepared by FMC Technologies, Inc.’s management, who are responsible for the integrity and objectivity of that information. Where appropriate, they reflect estimates based on judgments of management. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Financial information included elsewhere in this annual report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements.
 
FMC Technologies, Inc. maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting and over safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition which is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of financial records and the safeguarding of such assets. The system is maintained by the selection and training of qualified personnel, by establishing and communicating sound accounting and business policies, and by an internal auditing program that evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of such internal controls, policies and procedures.
 
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of independent directors, meets regularly with management, with the Company’s internal auditors, and with the independent auditors to discuss their evaluation of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting and to carry out the Audit Committee’s oversight role with respect to auditing, internal controls, and financial reporting matters. Both the independent auditors and the internal auditors meet privately with, and have direct access to, the Audit Committee to discuss the results of their audits.
 
The Company’s independent auditors have been engaged to render an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. They review and make appropriate tests of the data included in the financial statements. As independent auditors, they also provide an objective, outside review of management’s performance in reporting operating results and financial condition.

(1)	Earnings per share and common stock prices have not been presented for years prior to 2001, the year of our spin-off from FMC Corporation.	
 
(2)	The calculation of average shares in 2001 gives effect to the issuance of 65.0 million common shares as if they were issued and outstanding on January 1, 2001.	
 
(3)	We believe EBITDA growth is a useful measure for evaluating our operating performance, because it is a good indicator of growth in shareholder value and it is a widely used benchmark in the investment community. For these reasons, EBITDA is also used as a performance measure in our incentive compensation program.	
 
(4)	Return on Investment (ROI) is calculated as income before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles plus after-tax interest expense as a percentage of total average debt and equity. The calculation of 2001 ROI uses after-tax profit on a pro forma basis, a non-GAAP measure, which is reconciled below to income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, the most comparable GAAP measure:

After-tax profit (non-GAAP measure)	  	$	54.0	 	
Less: Restructuring and asset impairment charges, net of income taxes	  	 	(10.4	)	
Less: Income tax charges related to the Separation from FMC Corporation	  	 	(8.9	)	
Plus: Pro forma interest expense, net of income taxes	  	 	4.7

It is our view that after-tax profit on a pro forma basis of $54.0 million is a useful measure of our performance in 2001, because it excludes restructuring charges related to initiatives undertaken to lower our cost structure in response to adverse market conditions. It also excludes income tax provisions related to repatriation of offshore earnings and the reorganization of our worldwide entities in anticipation of our separation from FMC Corporation, and it adds an estimate of interest expense that we might have incurred had we been a stand-alone entity for the entire year of 2001.
 
(5)	Net debt consists of short-term debt, long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.	
 
(6)	For periods prior to June 14, 2001, the date of our initial public offering, stockholders’ equity was comprised of FMC Corporation’s net investment and accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss.	
 
(7)	We view segment operating capital employed, which consists of assets, net of liabilities, as the primary measure of segment capital. Segment operating capital employed excludes debt, pension liabilities, income taxes and LIFO reserves.	
 
(8)	Operating working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities, adjusted to exclude cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and income tax balances.	
 
(9)	Order backlog is calculated as the estimated sales value of unfilled, confirmed customer orders at the reporting date.

Exhibit 14.1
 
FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
INCLUDING PROVISIONS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND FINANCIAL OFFICERS
 
PURPOSE
 
The Board of Directors of FMC Technologies, Inc. has adopted this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics pursuant to applicable laws, regulations and listing requirements. The Code applies to directors, and employees of the Company. In addition, in connection with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Code imposes certain additional obligations on the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote (i) honest and ethical conduct, (ii) avoidance of conflicts of interests, (iii) full, fair, accurate recordkeeping and timely and understandable disclosure in SEC filings, (iv) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, (v) prompt internal reporting to the Board or the Board committee overseeing the Code of violations of the Code and (vi) accountability for adherence to the Code.
 
The Board or the Board Committee will promptly disclose waivers of the Code as required by applicable law, including the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Any FMC Technologies Person who violates the standards in the Code will be subject to disciplinary action. Disciplinary action may include loss of pay, termination of employment, referral for criminal prosecution and reimbursement to the Company any losses or damages resulting from the violation. If an FMC Technologies Person is in a situation which he or she believes may violate or lead to a violation of the Code, such FMC Technologies Person should contact his or her manager, supervisor or local human resources representative, the lawyer responsible for his or her business, the General Counsel or a member of the Board or the Board Committee as soon as possible. Each FMC Technologies Person is expected to conduct his or her affairs with uncompromising honesty and integrity. Each FMC Technologies Person is required to adhere to the highest standards regardless of local custom. An FMC Technologies Person is expected to be honest and ethical in dealing with all employees of the Company and the Company’s clients, vendors and third parties. The actions of an FMC Technologies Person must be free from illegal behavior including, without limitation, discrimination, libel, slander or harassment.
 
The Company expects all of FMC Technologies Persons to act in accordance with the highest standards of personal and professional integrity in aspects of their activities, to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, to deter wrongdoing and abide by the Code and other policies and procedures adopted by the Company that govern the conduct of its employees. The Company has provided its employees with interpretative guidelines and supplemental information to facilitate employees understanding of the Code and its application to their job functions in the FMC Technologies Commitment to Ethics that is applicable to all Company employees and available on the Company’s intranet.
 
I.	ETHICAL BEHAVIORAND FAIR DEALING	
 
Each FMC Technologies Person is expected to conduct his or her affairs with uncompromising honesty and integrity. Each FMC Technologies Person is required to adhere to the highest standards regardless of local custom. An FMC Technologies Person is expected to be honest and ethical in dealing with all employees of the Company and the Company’s clients, vendors and third parties. The actions of an FMC Technologies Person must be free from illegal behavior including, without limitation, discrimination, libel, slander or harassment. No FMC Technologies Person should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair dealing or practice.

II.	CONFLICTSOF INTEREST	
 
Each FMC Technologies Person is expected to avoid engaging in activities that conflict with, or have the appearance of conflicting with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
 
Section II of the Code applies not only to each FMC Technologies Person but also to each immediate family member of an FMC Technologies Person, any trust in which an FMC Technologies Person has a beneficial interest and over which such FMC Technologies Person can exercise or influence decision making, and any person with whom an FMC Technologies Person has a substantial business relationship. For purposes of the Code, an Immediate Family Member includes an FMC Technologies Person’s spouse, parents, children, sibling, parents-in-law, children-in-law, siblings-in-law and anyone who shares such FMC Technologies Person’s home.
 
Any personal activities or interests of an FMC Technologies Person or any Interested Party that could negatively influence, or which could have the appearance of negatively influencing, the judgment of such FMC Technologies Person, or the decisions or actions of such FMC Technologies Person, must be disclosed to an Ethics Reporting Resource. Reports concerning conflicts of interest made to an Ethics Reporting Resource other than the Board or the Board Committee will be reported to the Board or the Board Committee, who will determine if there is a conflict and, if so, how to resolve the conflict without compromising the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Prompt and full disclosure is always the correct first step towards identifying and resolving any potential conflict of interest.
 
In certain limited cases, activities giving rise to a potential conflict of interest may be permitted if the Board or the Board Committee determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such potential conflict of interest is not likely to be harmful to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
 
III.	CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES	
 
Each FMC Technologies Person owes a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. Consequently, each FMC Technologies Person is prohibited from taking for themselves personally (including for the benefit of family members or friends) business opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position without the consent of the Board or the Board Committee. No FMC Technologies Person may use corporate property, information, or position for improper personal gain (including for the gain of an Interested Party), and may not compete with the Company directly or indirectly.
 
In the event an FMC Technologies Person offers an opportunity to the Board, and the Board rejects such opportunity, then that FMC Technologies Person is no longer prohibited by the Company from taking advantage of such opportunity.
 
IV.	CONFIDENTIALITY	
 
FMC Technologies Persons should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed.
 
V.	PROTECTIONAND PROPER USEOF COMPANY ASSETS	
 
All FMC Technologies Persons should protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Furthermore, Company equipment should not be used for non-Company business, though incidental personal use may be permitted. It is important to remember that theft, carelessness, and waste of the Company’s assets have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability. Accordingly, any suspected incident of fraud, theft or misuse should be immediately reported for investigation.

VI.	COMPLIANCEWITH LAWS, RULESAND REGULATIONS	
 
The business of the Company is to be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and in accordance with the highest ethical standards of business conduct. Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which the ethical standards of the Company are built. Each FMC Technologies Person must respect and obey the laws of the United States and the states and other jurisdictions in which we operate. If an applicable law conflicts with a policy in the Code, an FMC Technologies Person must comply with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with the Code, an FMC Technologies Person must comply with the Code.
 
VII.	FULL, FAIR, ACCURATE RECORD KEEPINGAND DISCLOSURE	
 
All of the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must promptly, completely and accurately reflect the Company’s assets, liabilities and transactions and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s system of internal controls. The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions. Unrecorded or “off the books” liabilities, funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. In addition, no undisclosed or unrecorded fund or asset shall be maintained for any purpose and no transaction shall be carried out in a manner such that the substance of the transaction is obscured or recorded improperly. If a material mistake in any information previously disclosed in the Company’s public filings is discovered, such mistake should immediately be brought to the attention of the Board or the Board Committee and, if applicable, the Company’s auditors and legal advisors.
 
Records should always be retained or destroyed according to the Company’s record retention policies. In accordance with those policies, in the event of litigation or governmental investigation, please consult the Company’s legal advisors.
 
Pursuant to this policy, and in connection with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Code specifically requires that the Company’s Financial Professionals oversee, manage and accept responsibility for these requirements. To the extent practicable, each Executive Financial Professional shall read each Securities and Exchange Commission report and press release prior to the time it is filed, furnished or issued to the Securities and Exchange Commission or released to the public, as applicable. Any inaccuracy or material misstatement in, or the omission of any information necessary to make the statements made not misleading from, any Securities and Exchange Commission filing or press release shall be immediately disclosed to the Board or the Board Committee and, if applicable, to the Company’s auditors and legal advisors. If an Executive Financial Professional has any concerns with accounting or auditing matters, they should report them to the Board and the Company’s independent auditors. To the extent the matter has been reported to the Board and remains unresolved, the Executive Financial Professional should report such matter to the Company’s legal advisors
 
IX.	WAIVERSOFTHE CODE	
 
A waiver of the Code may be made only by the Board or the Board Committee and will be promptly disclosed as required by law, including the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and listing authority.
 
X.	REPORTINGANYVIOLATIONSOFTHECODE	
 
If any FMC Technologies Person becomes aware of a violation of the Code or alleged violation raised by an employee of the Company, that FMC Technologies Person should report the matter immediately to an Ethics Reporting Resource, the Board or the Board Committee. To the extent the matter has been reported and remains unresolved, the FMC Technologies Person should report the matter to the Company’s legal advisors. It is the policy of the Company not to allow retaliation for violation allegations made in good faith by employees of the Company. FMC Technologies Persons are expected to cooperate in investigations concerning violations of the Code.
