Q&A highlights

Q: On the share repurchase authorization and cash return in '26, how are you thinking about it?

A: We are pleased with free cash flow generation this year. We recommit to returning at least 70% of free cash flow to shareholders, similar to 2025. When normalizing for working capital, free cash flow conversion from EBITDA is approaching ~55%.

Q: On Subsea award intake and working capital expectations, any updates?

A: There are still more awards to be announced. Regarding working capital, we had an exceptional year, and we will typically start with a neutral position when guiding forward.

Q: On Subsea margin guide for 2026 and Subsea 2.0 percentage, how much of revenue is expected to be Subsea 2.0?

A: Approaching 40% of capacity is working on Subsea 2.0, inbound levels of Subsea 2.0 have exceeded 50% and are expected to grow as a percentage of total orders next year.

Q: On Surface Technologies outlook for 2026 and electric Subsea infrastructure opportunity?

A: Surface Technologies outlook is less certain, but we are positioned with the right customers and technology. Electric Subsea infrastructure is progressing, with applications in carbon capture and storage, brownfield tiebacks, and retrofitting hydraulic trees with electric actuation.

Q: On order intake cycles and resourcing, your perspective?

A: We are not experiencing slowdowns in order intake, with 80% of business direct awarded. We are confident in resourcing as we focus on execution and reducing cycle time, being able to do more with the same.
