Heurtey Petrochem : 2017 Revenues

Press Release

2017 revenues: €236 million

Order book at 31 December 2017: €177 million

Rueil, 15 February 2018 at 5.40 pm

Heurtey Petrochem has announced consolidated revenues of €236 million* in 2017, down 26% compared to 2016. Due to lower progress on some projects, the posted revenues are slightly below the latest announced guidance at €250 million.

The Gas segment accounted for 31% of revenues, while the Furnaces segment represented 69% (31% in refining, 16% in petrochemicals and 22% in hydrogen). The regional breakdown was 26% from the Americas, 37% from Asia-Oceania, 30% from the Middle East and Africa and 7% from Europe and Russia.

In a difficult market environment, the Group recorded €144 million in orders in 2017 and therefore its order book amounts to €177 million at 31 December 2017. Considering the political and economic situation in Venezuela, the Group has decided to remove from its order book the amount of €107 million related to the contracts signed in this country on hold for several years.

The Gas segment accounted for 48% of the order book and the Furnaces segment for 52% (26% for refining, 15% for hydrogen and 11% for petrochemicals).

The Americas account for 40% of the order book, Asia/Oceania 41%, Middle East/Africa 14%, and Europe/Russia 5%.

As previously announced, due on the one hand, to cost overruns recently recorded on construction activities for contracts in completion and, on the other hand, to the set-up of provisions to complete the projects, the Group anticipates a current operating income close to -15% of revenues.
