Led by subsea systems, the first quarter operating profit in Energy Production
Systems increased 10 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Operating profit in Energy Processing Systems was down 27 percent due mainly
to the rapid decrease in North American pressure pumping activity. Overall,
operating profit for the company was flat compared to the prior-year quarter.

"Given the current economic conditions in our industry including the
significant decline in North American land activity, we are very encouraged by
our first quarter results," said Peter D. Kinnear, Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to operate in an uncertain
macroeconomic environment, but we benefit from $3.4 billion in backlog.
However, given the weakness in North America, we are narrowing our estimate of
2009 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to a range of $2.40
to $2.50."

Energy Production Systems
Energy Production Systems' first quarter revenue of $872.3 million increased 2
percent over the prior-year quarter due to increased subsea systems sales.
Revenue for subsea systems was $716 million for the quarter, up 2 percent from
the prior-year quarter. Surface wellhead revenue was comparable to the first
quarter of 2008.

Energy Production Systems' operating profit of $104.4 million increased 10
percent over the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to higher volume
and operating margin in subsea systems.

Energy Production Systems' inbound orders for the first quarter of 2009 were
$614.3 million, including subsea systems orders of $481 million. Backlog for
Energy Production Systems was $3.1 billion and included $2.7 billion in subsea
backlog at the end of the first quarter.

Energy Processing Systems
Energy Processing Systems' first quarter revenue of $181.0 million was 11
percent lower than the prior-year quarter. The revenue decrease came
primarily from the fluid control business, which was significantly impacted by
the reduction in North American pressure pumping activity.

Energy Processing Systems' first quarter operating profit of $28.5 million was
down 27 percent from the prior-year quarter, again, primarily from the impact
of decreased North American pressure pumping activity on the fluid control
business.

Energy Processing Systems' inbound orders were $146.5 million for the first
quarter and backlog was $278.7 million.

Corporate Items
Corporate expense in the first quarter of 2009 was $6.8 million, a decrease of
$2.1 million from the prior-year quarter due in part to lower professional
service expenses.

Other expense, net, was $25.0 million, an increase of $0.7 million from the
prior-year quarter. Significant items in the quarter included the
acceleration of stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with
accounting standards and foreign exchange losses, which resulted in expenses
of $5.7 and $7.3 million, respectively.

The company ended the quarter with net debt of $82.3 million. Net interest
expense was $2.1 million in the quarter.

The company repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock in the quarter for
$43.5 million and now has 8.1 million shares remaining in its stock repurchase
authorization.

Depreciation and amortization for the first quarter was $19.3 million, up
slightly from the previous quarter. Capital expenditures during the first
quarter totaled $25.4 million.

The company recorded an effective tax rate of 28.0 percent for the first
quarter.

Summary and Outlook
FMC Technologies reported diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations of $0.56, up 8 percent from the prior-year quarter. Energy
Production Systems' operating profits were up 10 percent over the first
quarter of 2008. The total company backlog was $3.4 billion at the end of the
quarter.

The company narrowed its estimate for 2009 diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations to a range of $2.40 to $2.50.

(1) We have corrected an immaterial error for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 by adjusting cash paid from operating activities to
financing activities. The correction relates to the minimum tax
withholding paid to taxing authorities on behalf of employees for share-
based compensation awards that is required to be classified as a
financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The correction
increased cash provided by operating activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 by $16.3 million with an offsetting decrease of
$16.3 million in cash required by financing activities. The correction
of error does not impact the net change in cash and cash equivalents and
is not material to our previously reported Statement of Cash Flow.
