Revenue model

1. EPC Contract Revenue: Tecnimont generates revenue primarily through large-scale Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) lump-sum turn-key contracts for industrial plant construction. Revenue is recognized over the project lifecycle spanning 2-5 years typically, with milestone-based billing tied to project progress. Major contracts include USD 8.7 billion Hail and Ghasha project, USD 1.3 billion Argentina fertilizer complex, and USD 2 billion SATORP expansion.
2. Technology Licensing: Through NEXTCHEM subsidiary (including Stamicarbon), Tecnimont licenses proprietary urea and fertilizer technologies to clients. The Argentina project allocates €140 million for urea licensing, Process Design Package (PDP), proprietary equipment, and syngas reformer supply.
3. Integrated Engineering Services: FEED (Front-End Engineering Design), engineering services, and commissioning/start-up services are provided as part of project execution or independently. LNG market entry through Argent LNG project involves FEED and FERC permitting phases.
