HOUSTON, July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FMC Technologies, Inc.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.22, which excludes total Company pre-tax charges of $61 million, or $0.21 per diluted share as detailed in the attached financial schedules.

"Subsea Technologies delivered solid operating margins as we continue to benefit from our execution momentum as well as the savings from our ongoing restructuring activities," said John Gremp, Chairman and CEO of FMC Technologies.

Gremp continued, "Although the timing around the sanctioning of deepwater projects remains uncertain, we continue to focus our strategy on lowering the cost of deepwater development, and I am confident that our merger with Technip will allow us to further improve project economics."
