HOUSTON, February 14, 2011 – FMC Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FTI) today reported fourth quarter 2010 revenue of $1.1 billion and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.82. The diluted earnings per share were affected by a combination of tax items that resulted in a net benefit of $0.13 per diluted share.

Backlog for the Company reached $4.2 billion including subsea systems backlog of $3.6 billion. Subsea systems recorded its fourth consecutive quarterly backlog increase.
Full Year 2010 Results
Total Company revenue for 2010 was $4.1 billion, and total Company operating profit increased two percent to a record $633.4 million. The full year 2010 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $3.06.
“We are pleased to report our eighth consecutive year of earnings growth,” said Peter D.

Our estimate for 2011 diluted earnings per share is $3.20 to $3.40.”

Review of Operations – Fourth Quarter 2010
Energy Production Systems

Energy Production Systems’ operating profit of $105.5 million decreased 20 percent from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower volume in subsea systems.

Backlog for Energy Production Systems was $3.9 billion, including $3.6 billion in subsea systems at the end of the fourth quarter.
Energy Processing Systems
Energy Processing Systems’ fourth quarter revenue of $222.9 million was 26 percent higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase came mainly from the fluid control business, which had record revenue in the quarter.
Energy Processing Systems had record operating profit of $43.5 million in the fourth quarter, up 111 percent from the prior-year quarter. The increase was mainly driven by higher volume in the fluid control business resulting from strong North American pressure pumping activity.
Energy Processing Systems’ inbound orders were a record $255.8 million in the fourth quarter led by strong fluid control and measurement solutions orders. Backlog for the segment finished the quarter at $296.0 million.
