On July 24, 2017, FTI filed a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announcing that it would restate certain unaudited interim condensed consolidated U.S. GAAP financial statements. Specifically, FTI determined that it would restate financial statements for March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, previously filed with the SEC on May 4, 2017. The Company explained such financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of material errors.
More specifically, “net income attributable to the Company in the quarter ending March 31, 2017 was overstated by $209.5 million ($0.45 per share).”
This news drove the price of FTI shares down on unusually heavy volume on July 25, 2017.
On August 4, 2017, FTI amended Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017. Defendants reduced previously reported net income attributable to TechnipFMC from $190.8 million to a net loss of $18.7 million for that period.
“We’re focused on the magnitude of management’s improper accounting that, as corrected, wipes out previously reported Q1 2017 net income,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
