NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of TechnipFMC plc and its consolidated subsidiaries (“TechnipFMC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards under GAAP
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which is intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs. Supplier finance programs may also be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance, or structured payables arrangements. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period, and associated roll forward information.
We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2023. We facilitate a supply chain finance program (“SCF”) that is administered by a third-party financial institution which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the SCF bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their outstanding receivable directly with the SCF bank. We are not a party to those agreements and the terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF. We agree to pay the SCF bank based on the original invoice maturity dates and amounts.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within Accounts payable, trade in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF and included in Accounts payable were approximately $112.5 million and $101.8 million, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards under GAAP
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848).” In addition, in January 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” and, in December 2022, issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848” which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 and defers the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. The amendments in these updates apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. We do not anticipate the adoption of these updates to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We assessed ASUs not listed above and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3. REVENUE
The majority of our revenue is from long-term contracts associated with designing and manufacturing products and systems and providing services to customers involved in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas.

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any expected contract losses are recorded in the period in which they become probable.
Contract Assets - Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are generally classified as current.
Contract Liabilities - We sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.
The following table provides information about net contract assets (liabilities) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | March 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 | | $ change | | % change |
Contract assets | $ | 1,221.5 | | | $ | 981.6 | | | $ | 239.9 | | | 24.4 | |
Contract liabilities | (1,172.6) | | | (1,156.4) | | | (16.2) | | | -1.4 | |
Net contract assets (liabilities) | $ | 48.9 | | | $ | (174.8) | | | $ | 223.7 | | | 128.0 | |
The increase in our contract assets from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 was due to the timing of project milestones. The increase in our contract liabilities was driven from an overall portfolio and client mix enabling an acceleration of cash payments in advance.
In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. Any subsequent revenue we recognize increases the contract asset balance. Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $347.7 million and $112.9 million, respectively.
In addition, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in prior periods had unfavorable impacts of $2.6 million and $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, from changes in the estimate of the stage of completion that impacted revenue.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RUPO” or “order backlog”) represent the transaction price for products and services for which we have a material right but work has not been performed. Transaction price of the order backlog includes the base transaction price, variable consideration and changes in transaction price. The transaction price of order backlog related to unfilled, confirmed customer orders is estimated at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to order backlog was $10.6 billion. TechnipFMC expects to recognize revenue on approximately 36.3% of the order backlog through 2023 and 63.7% thereafter.
The following table details the order backlog for each business segment as of March 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total order backlog | $ | 3,845.5 | | | $ | 4,038.7 | | | $ | 2,723.2 | |
NOTE 4. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Management’s determination of our reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and the differences in the products and services we provide, which corresponds to the manner in which our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker, reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. We operate under two reporting segments, Subsea and Surface Technologies:
•Subsea - designs and manufactures products and systems, performs engineering, procurement and project management, and provides services used by oil and gas companies involved in offshore exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas.
•Surface Technologies - designs and manufactures products and systems and provides services used by oil and gas companies involved in land and shallow water exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas; designs, manufactures and supplies technologically advanced high-pressure valves and fittings for oilfield service companies; and also provides flowback and well testing services.
Segment operating profit (loss) is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. Income (loss) from equity method investments is included in computing segment operating profit (loss). The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit (loss): corporate staff expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), income (loss) from investment in Technip Energies, net interest income (expense) associated with corporate debt facilities and income taxes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 we incurred a loss from continuing operations; therefore, the impact of 4.8 million shares from our share-based compensation awards was anti-dilutive.
Weighted average shares of the following share-based compensation awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of shares, where the assumed proceeds exceed the average market price from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of shares, because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

NOTE 6. RECEIVABLES
We manage our receivables portfolios using published default risk as a key credit quality indicator for our loans and receivables. Our loans receivable were related to sales of long-lived assets or businesses, loans to related parties for capital expenditure purposes, or security deposits for lease arrangements.
We manage our held-to-maturity debt securities using published credit ratings as a key credit quality indicator as our held-to-maturity debt securities consist of government bonds.
The table below summarizes the amortized cost basis of financial assets by years of origination and credit quality.

Credit Losses
For contract assets and trade receivables we have elected to calculate an expected credit loss based on loss rates from historical data. We develop loss-rate statistics on the basis of the amount written-off over the life of the financial assets and contract assets and adjust these historical credit loss trends for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment to determine lifetime expected losses.
For loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities at amortized cost, we evaluate whether these securities are considered to have low credit risk at the reporting date using available, reasonable and supportable information.
The table below shows the roll forward of allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 9. INVESTMENTS
Our income from equity affiliates is included in our Subsea segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our income from equity affiliates was $14.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
Our major equity method investments are as follows:
Dofcon Brasil AS - is an affiliated company in the form of a joint venture between TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea and was founded in 2006. Dofcon Brasil AS is a holding company, which owns and controls TechDof Brasil AS and Dofcon Navegacao Ltda, collectively referred to as “Dofcon.” Dofcon provides Pipe-Laying Support Vessels (PLSVs) for work in oil and gas fields offshore Brazil. Dofcon is considered a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, we have accounted for our 50% investment using the equity method of accounting with results reported in our Subsea segment.
Dofcon and Techdof, two 50%-50% legal entities owned in partnership with DOF Group have debts related to loans on its vessels. During 2022, DOF ASA underwent a bankruptcy process that triggered cross default provisions in the credit facilities of certain joint ventures associated with the parent company guarantees provided by itself and its wholly owned subsidiary DOF Subsea. During March 2023, DOF ASA completed the process of restructuring (unrelated and outside of the joint venture) and DOF Services AS is the new holding company of DOF Group. The lenders made no claims under the guarantees and the acceleration clauses within the debt instruments were not enforceable as Dofcon and Techdof obtained waivers or consents from the lenders. Dofcon and Techdof continue to service the credit facilities as per the terms of the agreements. As a result of the restructure within DOF Group, the reason that triggered cross default provisions ceased to exist and therefore waivers and consents are no longer required. Accordingly, TechnipFMC has not recognized a liability related to its guarantees. TechnipFMC and DOF, provide guarantees for the debts and our share of the guarantees was $428.0 million as of March 31, 2023.
Investment in Technip Energies
During 2022, we have fully divested our remaining ownership in Technip Energies.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $28.5 million loss related to our investment in Technip Energies. The amounts recognized include purchase price discounts on the sales of shares and fair value revaluation gains (losses) of our investment.

Credit Facilities and Debt
Revolving Credit Facility - On February 16, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a $1.0 billion three-year senior secured multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility, including a $450.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. We incurred $34.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by the outstanding letters of credit issued against the facility. As of March 31, 2023, there were $45.4 million of letters of credit outstanding, and our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $954.6 million.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the following rates, plus an applicable margin, depending on currency:
•U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the London interbank offered rate (“Adjusted LIBOR”); and
•Euro-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the Euro interbank offered rate.
The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% for Eurocurrency loans and 1.50% to 2.50% for base rate loans, depending on a total leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions and financial covenants.
2021 Notes - On January 29, 2021, we issued $1.0 billion of 6.50% senior notes due 2026 (the “2021 Notes”). The interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and non-U.S. subsidiaries in Brazil, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore and the United Kingdom. We incurred $25.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with issuance of the 2021 Notes. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes, which approximates the effective interest method.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Bank borrowings - Include term loans issued in connection with financing for certain of our vessels and amounts outstanding under our foreign committed credit lines.
Foreign committed credit - We have committed credit lines at many of our international subsidiaries for immaterial amounts. We utilize these facilities for asset financing and to provide a more efficient daily source of liquidity. The effective interest rates depend upon the local national market.
NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In July 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under our share repurchase program. Pursuant to this share repurchase program, we repurchased $50.0 million of ordinary shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and an aggregate amount of $150.2 million of ordinary shares through March 31, 2023. Based upon the remaining repurchase authority of $249.8 million and the closing stock price as of March 31, 2023, approximately 18.3 million ordinary shares could be subject to repurchase. All repurchased shares were immediately cancelled.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Contingent liabilities associated with guarantees - In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees with financial institutions for the benefit of our customers, vendors and other parties. The majority of these financial instruments expire within five years. Management does not expect any of these financial instruments to result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees made by our consolidated subsidiaries consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | March 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Financial guarantees (a) | $ | 220.0 | | | $ | 170.2 | |
Performance guarantees (b) | 1,460.2 | | | 1,458.2 | |
Maximum potential undiscounted payments | $ | 1,680.2 | | | $ | 1,628.4 | |
(a)Financial guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying agreement that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the guaranteed party. These tend to be drawn down only if there is a failure to fulfill our financial obligations.
(b)Performance guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under a non-financial obligating agreement. Events that trigger payment are performance-related, such as failure to ship a product or provide a service.
We believe the ultimate resolution of our known contingencies will not materially adversely affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Contingent liabilities associated with legal and tax matters - We are involved in various pending or potential legal and tax actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. These actions and disputes can involve our agents, suppliers, clients and venture partners, and can include claims related to payment of fees, service quality and ownership arrangements, including certain put or call options. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, we believe that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On March 28, 2016, FMC Technologies received an inquiry from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to the DOJ's investigation of whether certain services Unaoil S.A.M. provided to its clients, including FMC Technologies, violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). On March 29, 2016, Technip S.A. also received an inquiry from the DOJ related to Unaoil. We cooperated with the DOJ's investigations and, with regard to FMC Technologies, a related investigation by the SEC.
In late 2016, Technip S.A. was contacted by the DOJ regarding its investigation of offshore platform projects awarded between 2003 and 2007, performed in Brazil by a joint venture company in which Technip S.A. was a minority participant, and also raised with the DOJ certain other projects performed by Technip S.A. subsidiaries in Brazil between 2002 and 2013. The DOJ also inquired about projects in Ghana and Equatorial Guinea that were awarded to Technip S.A. subsidiaries in 2008 and 2009, respectively. We cooperated with the DOJ in its investigation into potential violations of the FCPA in connection with these projects. We contacted and cooperated with the Brazilian authorities (Federal Prosecution Service (“MPF”), the Comptroller General of Brazil (“CGU”) and the Attorney General of Brazil (“AGU”)) with their investigation concerning the projects in Brazil and have also contacted and are cooperating with French authorities (the Parquet National Financier (“PNF”)) with their investigation about these existing matters.
On June 25, 2019, we announced a global resolution to pay a total of $301.3 million to the DOJ, the SEC, the MPF and the CGU/AGU to resolve these anti-corruption investigations. We were not required to have a monitor and, instead, provided reports on our anti-corruption program to the Brazilian and U.S. authorities for two and three years, respectively.
As part of this resolution, we entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with the DOJ related to charges of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil and with Unaoil. In addition, Technip USA, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary, pled guilty to 1 count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil. We also provided the DOJ reports on our anti-corruption program during the term of the DPA.
In Brazil, on June 25, 2019 our subsidiaries Technip Brasil - Engenharia, Instalações E Apoio Marítimo Ltda. and Flexibrás Tubos Flexíveis Ltda. entered into leniency agreements with both the MPF and the CGU/AGU. We made, as part of those agreements, certain enhancements to the compliance programs in Brazil during the two-year self-reporting period, which aligned with our commitment to cooperation and transparency with the compliance community in Brazil and globally.
In September 2019, the SEC approved our previously disclosed agreement in principle with the SEC Staff and issued an Administrative Order, pursuant to which we paid the SEC $5.1 million, which was included in the global resolution of $301.3 million.
On December 8, 2022, the Company received notice of the official release from all obligations and charges by CGU, having successfully completed all of the self-reporting requirements in the leniency agreements and the case was closed. On December 27, 2022, the DOJ filed a Motion to Dismiss the charges against TechnipFMC related to conspiracy to violate the FCPA, noting to the Court that the Company had fully met and completed all of its obligations under the DPA. The Dismissal Order was signed by the Court on January 4, 2023, thereby closing the case. All obligations to regulatory authorities related to the enforcement matters in the United States and Brazil have been completed and the Company has been unconditionally released by both jurisdictions.
To date, the investigation by the PNF related to historical projects in Equatorial Guinea and Ghana has not reached a resolution. We remain committed to finding a resolution with the PNF and will maintain a $70.0 million provision related to this investigation. Additionally, the PNF informed us that it is reviewing other historical projects in Angola. We are not aware of any evidence that would support a finding of liability with respect to these Angola projects, or whether the PNF would seek to impose any additional penalty. As we continue our discussions with PNF towards a potential resolution of all of these matters, the amount of a settlement could exceed this provision.
There is no certainty that a settlement with PNF will be reached or that the settlement will not exceed current accruals. The PNF has a broad range of potential sanctions under anti-corruption laws and regulations that it may seek to impose in appropriate circumstances including, but not limited to, fines, penalties, confiscations and modifications to business practices and compliance programs. Any of these measures, if applicable to us, as well as potential customer reaction to such measures, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we cannot reach a resolution with the PNF, we could be subject to criminal proceedings in France, the outcome of which cannot be predicted.
Contingent liabilities associated with liquidated damages - Some of our contracts contain provisions that require us to pay liquidated damages if we are responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which our customers may make claims against us for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of our performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management believes we have appropriately recognized probable liquidated damages at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 reflected effective tax rates of 82.7% and (491.4)%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the change in geographical profit mix year over year.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.
NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For purposes of mitigating the effect of changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions and recorded assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is to hold derivatives only for the purpose of hedging risks associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business, and not for speculative purposes.
Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values or cash flows of the transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivatives. For derivative instruments that qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative, which does not include the time value component of a forward currency rate, is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, any change in the fair value of those instruments is reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs. Cash flows related to derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges are classified consistently with the cash flows of the associated hedged item.
We hold the following types of derivative instruments:
Foreign exchange rate forward contracts - The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in future cash flows of anticipated purchase or sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies and recorded assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, we held the following material net positions:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | |
Foreign exchange rate instruments embedded in purchase and sale contracts - The purpose of these instruments is to match offsetting currency payments and receipts for particular projects or comply with government restrictions on the currency used to purchase goods in certain countries. As of March 31, 2023, our portfolio of these instruments included the following material net positions:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Net Notional Amount Bought (Sold) |
(In millions) | | | USD Equivalent |
Brazilian real | 88.6 | | | 17.4 | |

Fair value amounts for all outstanding derivative instruments have been determined using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. See Note 16 for further details. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange and may not be indicative of the gains or losses we may ultimately incur when these contracts are settled.
The following table presents the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, net of tax, which qualify for hedge accounting, resulted in accumulated other comprehensive losses of $23.1 million and $18.5 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We expect to transfer an approximate $13.0 million loss from accumulated OCI to earnings during the next 12 months when the anticipated transactions actually occur. All anticipated transactions currently being hedged are expected to occur by the second half of 2025.

Balance Sheet Offsetting - We execute derivative contracts with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits net settlement of the gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities. Each instrument is accounted for individually and assets and liabilities are not offset. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no collateralized derivative contracts. The following tables present both gross information and net information of recognized derivative instruments:

Equity securities - The fair value measurement of our traded securities is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets.
Money market and stable value funds - These funds are valued at the net asset value of the shares held at the end of the quarter, which is based on the fair value of the underlying investments using information reported by our investment advisor at quarter-end. These funds include fixed income and other investments measured at fair value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-maturity debt securities - Held-to-maturity debt securities consist of government bonds. These investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Derivative financial instruments - We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used. Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated by using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size and with the same credit rating.
We currently have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position. See Note 15 for further details. Other fair value disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, debt associated with our bank borrowings, credit facilities, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.
Fair value of debt - We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate debt using observable market data, which results in a Level 2 fair value measurement. The estimated fair value of our private placement notes and senior notes was $930.6 million and $916.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Credit risk - By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments. We mitigate credit risk on derivative contracts by executing contracts only with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits the net settlement of gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities.
NOTE 17. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 16, 2021, we completed our separation of the Technip Energies business segment. The transaction was structured as a spin-off (the “Spin-off”), which occurred by way of a pro rata dividend (the “Distribution”) to our shareholders of 50.1% of the outstanding shares in Technip Energies N.V. Each of our shareholders received one ordinary share of Technip Energies N.V. for every five ordinary shares of TechnipFMC held at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the record date, February 17, 2021.
In connection with the Spin-off, TechnipFMC and Technip Energies entered into a separation and distribution agreement, as well as various other agreements, including, among others, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a transition services agreement and certain agreements relating to intellectual property. These agreements provide for the allocation between TechnipFMC and Technip Energies of assets, employees, taxes, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Spin-off.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $19.4 million in income tax expense from discontinued operations related to a change in estimate in the French tax group.
NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 24, 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment (the “Amendment No. 5”) to the Revolving Credit Facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated February 16, 2021, which increases the commitments available to the Company under the Credit Agreement to $1.25 billion and extends the term to five years from the date of the Amendment No. 5. The Credit Agreement also provides for a $250.0 million letter of credit sub-facility.
On April 24, 2023, the Company also entered into a new $500 million five-year senior secured performance letters of credit facility (the “Performance LC Credit Agreement”). The commitments under the Performance LC Credit Agreement may be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent related to the increase in commitments. The Performance LC Credit Agreement permits the Company and its subsidiaries to have access to performance letters of credit denominated in a variety of currencies to support the contracting activities of the Company and its subsidiaries with counterparties that require or request a performance guarantee or similar. It contains substantially the same customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions and financial covenants as the Credit Agreement and benefits from the same guarantees and security as the Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis.
