I. Information about Voting

Solicitation of Proxies. The Board of Directors of FMC Technologies, Inc. (“FMC Technologies”) is soliciting proxies for use at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FMC Technologies and any adjournments of that meeting. FMC Technologies first mailed this proxy statement, the accompanying form of proxy and the FMC Technologies Annual Report for 2003 on March 15, 2004.

Agenda Items. The agenda for the Annual Meeting is to:

Re-elect three directors: Asbjørn Larsen, Joseph H. Netherland and James R. Thompson; and

Conduct any other business properly brought before the meeting and any adjournment thereof.

Who Can Vote. You can vote at the Annual Meeting if you are a holder of FMC Technologies common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on the record date. The record date is February 27, 2004. You will have one vote for each share of Common Stock. As of February 27, 2004, there were 66,905,385 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. The shares you may vote include those held directly in your name as a stockholder of record, shares you hold under FMC Technologies’ benefit plans and shares held for you as a beneficial owner through a broker, bank or other nominee.

Different Means of Holding Shares. Many FMC Technologies stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their name. If your shares are registered directly in your name with FMC Technologies’ Transfer Agent, National City Bank, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and FMC Technologies is sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy to the persons appointed by FMC Technologies or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee on how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you bring with you a proxy, executed in your favor, from the stockholder of record. Your broker or nominee is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction card for you to use.

How to Vote. You may vote your shares in one of three ways:

You can attend the Annual Meeting and cast your vote there if you are a stockholder of record on the record date or you have a proxy from the record holder designating you as the proxy.

You can vote by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you do, the individuals named on the card will vote your shares in the way you indicate.

You can provide voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee that is the holder of record of shares of Common Stock that you beneficially own, if you hold your shares in street name (such as through a bank or broker), by the method communicated to you by such bank, broker or other nominee.

Who Counts the Votes. Our Board of Directors will designate individual officers to serve as inspectors of election for the Annual Meeting. The inspectors will determine the number of shares outstanding and the number of shares represented at the meeting. They will also determine the validity of proxies and ballots, count all of the votes and determine the results of the actions taken at the Annual Meeting.

Use of Proxies. Unless you instruct us on the proxy card to vote differently, we plan to vote your signed and returned proxy FOR the re-election of the nominees for the Board of Directors. We do not now know of any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting. If they do, proxy holders will vote the proxies according to their best judgment.

Revoking a Proxy. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. You can revoke a proxy by:

Sending a written notice to the Secretary of FMC Technologies;

Delivering a properly executed, later-dated proxy; or

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

The Quorum Requirement. We need a quorum of stockholders to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting either attend the Annual Meeting in person or are represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not counted as votes “for” or “against” a proposal, but are counted as present and entitled to vote for the purpose of establishing a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner indicates on a particular proposal that the broker does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to that proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

LOGO

Vote Required for Action. Directors are elected by a plurality vote of shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Other actions require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. As a result, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will not affect the outcome of the election of directors, but will have the effect of a “no” vote on matters other than director elections. In accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, a proposal to elect directors is considered to be a “discretionary” item. This means that brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on this matter on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions within the time period specified in the voting instructions submitted by such brokerage firms.

II. Proposal Submitted for Voting

Election of Directors

FMC Technologies has three classes of directors, each class being of as nearly equal size as possible. The term for each class is three years. Class terms expire on a rolling basis, so that one class of directors is elected each year. The term for the nominees for director for the 2004 Annual Meeting will expire at the 2007 Annual Meeting.

Nominees for Director

The nominees for director this year are Asbjørn Larsen, Joseph H. Netherland and James R. Thompson. Information about the nominees, the continuing directors and the Board of Directors is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Board of Directors.” B.A. Bridgewater, a director of FMC Technologies’ former parent, FMC Corporation, since 1979 and a director of FMC Technologies since June 6, 2001, will retire from the Board on April 21, 2004. The Board thanks him for his counsel and service.

The Board of Directors expects that all of the nominees will be able and willing to serve as directors. If any nominee is not available: the proxies may be voted for another person nominated by the current Board of Directors to fill the vacancy; the Board of Directors may decide to leave the vacancy temporarily unfilled; or the size of the Board of Directors may be reduced.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the re-election of Asbjørn Larsen, Joseph H. Netherland and James R. Thompson.

IV. Information about the Board of Directors

Corporate Governance

Our Board of Directors believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to ensure that we maximize stockholder value in a manner that is consistent with legal requirements and the highest standards of integrity. The Board has adopted and adheres to corporate governance principles which the Board and senior management believe promote this purpose, are sound and represent best practices. We continually review these governance practices, the corporate laws of the State of Delaware under which we were incorporated, the rules and listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as best practices recognized by governance authorities.

Meetings

During 2003, the Board of Directors held six regular meetings. All incumbent directors attended at least 75 percent of the total number of meetings of the Board and of all committees on which they served. The Board of Directors has scheduled a meeting in the morning just prior to the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Board encourages its members to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In 2003, seven Directors attended the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors

During 2003, the Board of Directors had two standing committees: an Audit Committee and a Compensation and Organization Committee. The members of the Audit Committee were Mr. Mooney (Chair) and Messrs. Larsen, Ringler and Hamilton – all independent non-employee directors. The Audit Committee held six meetings during 2003. During 2003, the members of the Compensation and Organization Committee were Mr. Bowlin (Chair) and Messrs. Bridgewater, Pattarozzi, and Thompson. The Compensation and Organization Committee held three meetings during 2003.

For 2004, the Board of Directors has expanded and reorganized its committees into three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of these committees operates pursuant to a written charter setting out the functions and responsibilities of the committee which may be reviewed on FMC Technologies’ web site at www.fmctechnologies.com and is also available to stockholders in print upon request. The charter of the Audit Committee is also attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. The following descriptions cover the current membership and functions of the reorganized committees.

LOGO

Audit Committee

The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Mooney (Chair) and Messrs. Larsen, Ringler and Hamilton. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee meet the New York Stock Exchange standard of having accounting or related financial management expertise and meet the Securities and Exchange Commission criteria of an “audit committee financial expert.”

The Board of Directors approved a substantially revised Audit Committee charter in 2003 that incorporated the requirements for audit committees included within new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and the new corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee charter gives the Audit Committee the authority and responsibility for the retention, compensation and oversight of FMC Technologies’ independent auditors and the review and approval in advance of the scope of audit and non-audit assignments and the related fees. The Audit Committee charter also gives this committee broader authority to fulfill its obligations under Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Stock Exchange requirements, including responsibilities associated with FMC Technologies’ external and internal audit staffing and planning, accounting and financial reporting issues, financial and accounting organization and internal controls, auditor independence and approval of non-audit services and “whistle-blower” procedures for reporting questionable accounting and audit practices. At each meeting, Audit Committee members meet privately in separate sessions with representatives of FMC Technologies’ senior management, the independent auditor, and FMC Technologies’ Director of Internal Audit.

Compensation Committee

The current members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Bowlin (Chair) and Messrs. Bridgewater, Pattarozzi and Thompson. The principal duties of the Compensation Committee include setting the compensation for the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, reviewing and approving compensation policies and practices for other executive officers, reviewing and approving major changes in employee benefit plans, reviewing short and long-term incentive plans and equity grants, preparing a report on executive compensation for the annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K and other matters regarding compensation and benefits assigned by the Board.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The current members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Mr. Pattarozzi (Chair) and Messrs. Bowlin, Bridgewater, and Thompson. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee satisfies the independence criteria set forth in the corporate governance listing standards

of the New York Stock Exchange. The principal duties of the Nominating and Governance Committee include identifying and recommending to the Board of Directors qualified nominees for election as directors of FMC Technologies or to fill vacancies on the Board, making recommendations to the Board concerning the structure and membership of other Board committees and making recommendations to the Board of Directors from time to time regarding matters of corporate governance.

In accordance with the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has approved revisions to its Governance Principles, which may be viewed on FMC Technologies’ website at www.fmctechnologies.com.

Stockholders may submit recommendations for candidates for election to the Board of Directors for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee by writing to Jeffrey W. Carr, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of FMC Technologies, Inc., 1803 Gears Road, Houston, Texas 77067. A letter making a director candidate recommendation must include the candidate’s name, biographical information and a summary of the candidate’s qualifications. In addition, the letter should be accompanied by information from the nominee that indicates that the nominee is willing to serve as a member of the Board. In order to make a recommendation for the 2005 Annual Meeting, please refer to the timing requirements specified in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Proposals for the 2005 Annual Meeting.” All submissions from stockholders meeting these requirements will be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Nominating and Governance Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications for director nominees that it recommends to the Board but instead periodically advises the Board of the combination of skills, experience, perspective and background that its members believe are required for the effective functioning of the Board considering FMC Technologies’ current business strategies and its regulatory, geographic and market environment. FMC Technologies’ Governance Principles provide that directors should be selected based on integrity, successful business experience, stature in their own fields of endeavor and the diversity of perspectives they bring to the Board, that a majority of FMC Technologies’ non-employee directors should be active or retired senior executives, preferably Chief Executive or Chief Operating Officers of publicly held companies, and that FMC Technologies’ non-employee directors should also be chosen based on recognized experience in FMC Technologies’ lines of business and leadership in areas of government service, academia, finance and international trade. Nominees to be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee for future vacancies on the Board will be selected by the committee from candidates recommended by multiple sources, including business and personal contacts of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee, recommendations by FMC Technologies’ senior management and candidates identified by independent search firms, stockholders and other sources, all of

LOGO

whom will be evaluated based on the same criteria. All of the current nominees for the Board are standing members of the Board that are proposed by the entire Board for re-election.

Director Independence

The Nominating and Governance Committee conducted a review of the independence of the members of the Board of Directors and its Committees and reported its findings to the full Board. Eight of FMC Technologies’ nine directors (including two of the three nominees presently standing for election), excluding only Mr. Netherland, are non-employee directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviewed the commercial relationships (i.e., the purchase and/or sale of products and services) between FMC Technologies and its subsidiaries, affiliates and executive officers with or by companies with whom the non-employee directors are affiliated or employed. Although the Board has not adopted categorical standards of materiality, none of the relationships was deemed to be material. Responses to questionnaires completed by the directors did not indicate any other material relationships (e.g., industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or familial) which would impair the independence of any of the non-employee directors.

Based on the report and recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board has determined that each of its eight non-employee members satisfies the independence criteria set forth in the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, all of the members of the Audit Committee satisfy the enhanced independence criteria required for members of audit committees under regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance listing standards.

The Board will monitor and review, at least annually, commercial, charitable and other relationships that the directors have with FMC Technologies to determine whether a majority of its members continue to remain independent.

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors

The Board of Directors plans to hold executive sessions of its non-employees directors after regularly scheduled Board of Directors meetings. Mr. Bowlin, the Chair of the Compensation Committee, has been selected by the Board of Directors to serve as the presiding chairperson, or presiding non-employee director, for these executive sessions. Interested parties may communicate directly with the Board of Directors or with the presiding non-employee director for an upcoming meeting or the non-employee directors as a group by submitting written correspondence c/o Presiding Non-Employee Director, FMC Technologies, Inc., 1803 Gears Road, Houston, Texas 77067.

Director Compensation

Compensation Plan. In 2001, FMC Technologies adopted a compensation plan for non-employee members of its Board of Directors as a part of the FMC Technologies, Inc. Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (“FMC Technologies Stock Plan”). Pursuant to such compensation plan, each non-employee director has received annual compensation equal to approximately $100,000, which includes an annual retainer, meeting and committee chair fees and restricted stock units as described below.

Retainer and Fees. Each non-employee director is paid an annual retainer of $40,000. At least $25,000 of this annual retainer is paid in stock units that are payable in Common Stock upon death or retirement from the Board of Directors. The remainder is paid in quarterly installments in cash or, at the election of the non-employee director, may be deferred and invested in a stock account that will be credited with stock units representing Common Stock at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the stock units, with an initial value equal to the deferred amount. Each non-employee director also receives $1,000 for each Board of Directors’ meeting and Board of Directors’ committee meeting attended, and each director is reimbursed for reasonable incidental expenses. Each non-employee director who chairs a Committee is paid an additional $4,000 per year.

Restricted Stock Units. Each non-employee director receives, on May 1 of each year, a grant of restricted stock units. On May 1, 2003, FMC Technologies granted each director 2,710 restricted stock units with a market value equal to $18.82 on the date of grant. The restricted stock units granted vest at the 2004 Annual Meeting and are payable in Common Stock upon death or retirement from the Board of Directors.

Beginning in 2004, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the compensation paid to non-employee directors. This increase, based on a company-initiated and company-funded market compensation analysis, reflects increasing Board responsibilities. Total annual compensation will now fall between $117,500 and $131,500, depending on specific responsibilities. Although the annual retainer of $40,000 will remain unchanged, each non-employee director will receive $1,500 for each Board of Directors’ meeting attended and $2,000 for each Board of Director’ committee meeting attended, and will receive reimbursement for reasonable incidental expenses. The non-employee chairs of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee will receive an additional $8,000 per year, and the non-employee chair of the Audit Committee will receive an additional $12,000 per year.

Other Compensation. Employees of FMC Technologies do not receive additional compensation for their service as directors. No other remuneration is paid to directors. Directors who are not FMC Technologies employees do not participate in FMC Technologies’ employee benefit plans.

LOGO

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions

In 2003, the members of the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board were Messrs. Bridgewater, Bowlin, Pattarozzi and Thompson, none of whom has ever been an officer or employee of FMC Technologies or any of its subsidiaries. Governor Thompson is Chairman of the law firm of Winston & Strawn, which has provided, and continues to provide, legal services to FMC Technologies. None of the executive officers of FMC Technologies has ever served on the board of directors or on the compensation committee of any other entity that has had executive officers serving as a member of FMC Technologies’ Board of Directors.

V. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Board Of Directors Relationships and Related Party Transactions

In addition to Governor Thompson’s role with Winston & Strawn referenced above under “Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions,” FMC Technologies and certain of its subsidiaries did business in 2003 with certain organizations where FMC Technologies directors now serve, or during 2003 did serve, as officers or directors. In no case have the amounts involved been material in relation to FMC Technologies’ business or, to the knowledge and belief of FMC Technologies’ management, to the businesses of the other organizations or to the individuals concerned. Such transactions were on terms no less favorable to FMC Technologies than were reasonably available from unrelated third parties.

Arrangements between FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation

Through June 14, 2001, FMC Technologies was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation. On June 14, 2001, FMC Technologies completed an initial public offering of 17 percent of its outstanding shares. FMC Corporation retained an 83 percent equity interest in FMC Technologies until December 31, 2001, at which time FMC Corporation completed the separation of FMC Technologies through the tax-free distribution (the “Distribution”) of all of the remaining shares of Common Stock owned by FMC Corporation.

Prior to FMC Technologies’ initial public offering, FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies entered into certain agreements described below for purposes of governing the ongoing relationship between FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies at and after the date of FMC Technologies’ separation from FMC Corporation.

Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains key provisions relating to the separation of FMC Technologies’ businesses from those of FMC Corporation. In general, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies will indemnify the other party and such party’s representatives and affiliates from all liabilities arising from their respective businesses or contracts, as well as liabilities arising from a breach of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, from certain claims made prior to the Distribution, and for claims related to discontinued operations. All indemnification amounts will be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other offsetting amounts recovered by the indemnitee.

Tax Sharing Agreement. FMC Technologies and some of its subsidiaries were historically included in FMC Corporation’s consolidated group for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, and in certain consolidated, combined or unitary groups which include FMC Corporation and some of its subsidiaries for U.S. state and local and foreign income tax purposes. FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement in connection with the separation of FMC Technologies from FMC Corporation.

LOGO

Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the amount of taxes to be paid by FMC Technologies with respect to periods prior to the Distribution are to be determined as if FMC Technologies and each of its subsidiaries filed its own consolidated, combined or unitary tax returns. With respect to any taxable period in which FMC Technologies or any of its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated, combined or unitary tax returns of FMC Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation will make payments between them to reflect the terms of that agreement.

The Tax Sharing Agreement placed certain restrictions upon FMC Technologies regarding the sale of assets, the sale or issuance of additional securities (including securities convertible into stock) or the entry into some types of corporate transactions during a restriction period that continues for 30 months after the Distribution (i.e., June 30, 2004). Management believes that the restrictions under the Tax Sharing Agreement do not place a significant limitation on the Company’s ability to engage in strategic transactions.

Employee Benefits Agreement. FMC Technologies entered into an Employee Benefits Agreement with FMC Corporation that governs FMC Technologies’ employee benefit obligations, including both compensation and benefits, with respect to FMC Technologies’ active employees and retirees and other terminated employees who have performed services for FMC Technologies’ business before or after the separation or whose employee benefit obligations FMC Technologies has otherwise agreed to assume. Under the Employee Benefits Agreement, FMC Technologies assumed and agreed to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in accordance with their respective terms, all obligations to, or relating to, former employees of FMC Corporation or its affiliates who are employed by FMC Technologies and FMC Technologies’ affiliates and specified former employees of FMC Corporation or its affiliates (including retirees) who either were employed in FMC Technologies’ businesses before or after the separation or who otherwise were assigned to FMC Technologies for purposes of allocating employee benefit obligations.

Transition Services Agreement. A Transition Services Agreement governs the provision of support services by FMC Corporation to FMC Technologies and by FMC Technologies to FMC Corporation. By the end of 2002, substantially all transition support services between the companies had ceased, except for a common payroll and benefit administration service center, which the companies discontinued using in 2003.

(1)

We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value these options as of the date granted. The model assumed: an option term of 5 years; a risk-free interest rate of 2.9 percent; an assumed annual volatility of underlying stock of 46.8 percent and no dividends being paid. FMC Technologies made no assumptions regarding restrictions on vesting or the likelihood of vesting.

(2)

The ultimate values of the options will depend on the future market price of the Common Stock, which cannot be forecast with reasonable accuracy. The actual value, if any, an option holder will realize when exercising an option will depend on the excess of the market value of the Common Stock over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised.

Termination and Change of Control Arrangements

Plan and Participants. The Board of Directors adopted an Executive Severance Plan in 2001. Seventeen officers and managers participate in the plan. The participants include all the individuals listed in the Summary Compensation Table.

Benefits. If a change in control (as described below) of FMC Technologies occurs and if, within two years of that change of control, a participant’s employment is terminated without

cause or a participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment because his or her duties, location, salary, compensation or benefits are changed or are reduced, then the participant is generally entitled to benefits from FMC Technologies. In general, those benefits include: (i) a lump sum payment of three, two or one (depending on position) times annual salary and the greater of (a) the highest annualized target total management incentive award granted for any year, and (b) the average of the actual annualized incentive awards paid for the two plan years immediately preceding the executive’s termination; (ii) a payment equal to prorated target bonus for the year of termination; (iii) immediate vesting of long-term incentive awards, restricted stock and stock options; (iv) continuation of medical and other benefits for up to three years; (v) distribution of accrued nonqualified retirement plan benefits; and (vi) up to an additional three years of credited service for purposes of our nonqualified plans. FMC Technologies will compensate the participant for any excise tax liability as a result of payments under the plan. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer can also receive these benefits if they voluntarily terminate their employment with FMC Technologies within the thirteenth month after a change in control of FMC Technologies.

Change in Control. In general, the following transactions are considered as changes in control under the plan: (i) a third party’s acquisition of 20 percent or more of Common Stock; (ii) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors; (iii) completion of specified mergers, business combinations or asset purchases or sales (unless after the transaction (a) the stockholders of FMC Technologies prior to the transaction own more than 60 percent of the resulting entity, (b) members of the FMC Technologies’ Board of Directors before the transaction constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the resulting entity, and (c) no person owns 20 percent or more of the outstanding Common Stock or voting securities); or (iv) the complete liquidation or dissolution of FMC Technologies.

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

Goals. FMC Technologies’ executive compensation program is designed to align total compensation with stockholder interests. The program:

Provides incentives and rewards executives for sound business management and improvement in stockholder value.

Balances its components so that both short- and longer-term operating and strategic objectives are recognized.

Requires achieving objectives within a “high-performance” environment to be rewarded.

Is intended to attract, motivate and retain executives necessary for the long-term success of FMC Technologies.

LOGO

The program consists of three different compensation components: base salary; variable cash incentive awards; and long-term incentive awards (stock options and restricted stock).

Base salary. FMC Technologies uses external surveys to set competitive compensation levels (salary ranges) for its executives. In order to obtain the most relevant survey data for review, the surveys include comparable companies in the industries in which FMC Technologies competes.

Salary ranges for FMC Technologies executives are established based on similar positions in other companies of comparable size and complexity. Generally, FMC Technologies sets its competitive salary midpoint for an executive officer at the median level compared with the companies surveyed. Performance levels within the ranges are delineated to recognize different levels of performance ranging from “needs improvement” to “exceptional”. As a result, although nominally targeted to fall at or near the 50th percentile of such comparable organizations, compensation may range anywhere within the salary bracket based on performance.

Starting placement in a salary range is a function of an employee’s skills, experience, expertise and anticipated job performance. Each year performance is evaluated against mutually agreed-upon objectives and performance standards that may, in part, be subjective; a performance rating is established; and a salary increase may be granted. Performance factors used may include timely responses to downturns in major markets, setting strategic direction, making key management changes, divesting businesses and acquiring new businesses, continuing to improve operating efficiency, and developing people and management capabilities. The relative importance of each of these factors varies based on the strategic thrust and operating requirements of each of the businesses.

Mr. Netherland last received a base salary increase in June 2003 of 5.0% that placed him at 104.4% of his grade midpoint. His salary will be reviewed in June 2004 using the performance factors listed above.

Management Incentive Awards. Management Incentive Awards under the FMC Technologies Stock Plan provide for annual cash incentives for achievement of both annual performance incentive (“API”) targets and business performance incentive (“BPI”) targets. The Committee oversees the FMC Technologies Stock Plan objectives and design as well as the setting of performance targets and approval awards. Participation in the plan is based on the opportunity to influence performance and growth at FMC Technologies, position level, competitive practice for similar positions, performance and potential. Achieving high standards of business and individual performance is rewarded financially, and significant compensation is at risk if these high standards are not met. For participating managers, target incentives vary from 20% to 90% of base salary. BPI

payments can range from 0 to 3 times target incentive. In 2003 the BPI was based on improvement in Net Contribution (50%) and EBITDA growth (50%), as defined in the FMC Technologies Stock Plan.

In 2003, the API represented 30% of the total target incentive and the BPI represented 70% of the total target incentive for all participants. The API is less quantitative than the BPI. The API varies with individual performance and can range from 0 to 2 times the target percentage. It is awarded based on achieving annual objectives set for the individual’s most important business responsibilities. For Mr. Netherland in 2003, these included such wide-ranging objectives as increased earnings and returns on investment, management of FMC Technologies’ portfolio of businesses, improved operating performance and market position, leadership and people development, safety performance, and communications with employees. Mr. Netherland’s combined BPI and API payment for 2003, shown as Bonus in the Summary Compensation Table, was $988,591.

Equity Awards. The FMC Technologies Stock Plan is designed to link closely the long-term reward of executives with increases in stockholder value. The 2001 approval of the FMC Technologies Stock Plan provides the Committee with broad discretion to select the appropriate types of rewards. Currently there are annual long-term incentive awards of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock granted to management employees for whom market data indicate equity grants as part of total compensation. The award vesting period for the options and restricted stock awarded through this program is three years. All stock options have a term of ten years, and the exercise price is the fair market value of common stock on the date of the grant. The FMC Technologies Stock Plan also provides for Management Incentive Awards in the form of restricted stock grants, which are awarded very selectively to key senior management personnel and high potential managers for retention purposes under a key manager restricted stock program. Key manager restricted stock vests after four years.

To determine the number of options and/or restricted stock granted to an executive, we establish an award level based on the executive’s salary grade while considering performance, potential and industry practices as provided by an independent, outside compensation consultant. The total number of awards granted is managed in a manner consistent with FMC Technologies’ guidelines on annual run rates and dilution. Mr. Netherland’s long-term incentive award for 2003 was 150,000 options and 33,200 shares of restricted stock. In 2003, Mr. Netherland also received a grant of 65,000 restricted stock shares under FMC Technologies’ key manager restricted stock program.

Section 162(m) Deductibility. The Committee continues to consider the $1 million cap on tax deductible compensation and has been advised that stock option grants made through the end of 2003 meet the requirements for deductibility. Certain other compensation paid pursuant to the FMC Technologies Stock Plan, approved in 2001, may not meet all

LOGO

requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, unless the amounts involved become material, the Committee believes that it is more important to preserve its flexibility under the plan to formulate appropriate incentive awards.

Stock Retention Policy. FMC Technologies has established guidelines setting expectations for the ownership of FMC Technologies stock by its corporate officers and non-employee directors. The guidelines for stock retention for officers are based on a multiple of two and one-half to five times the employee’s total compensation midpoint. For non-employee directors, the guidelines are based on a multiple of five times the director’s annual retainer. All corporate officers and non-employee directors governed by this policy, including all those named in this proxy statement, meet or exceed their respective stock retention guidelines.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

FMC Technologies has undertaken responsibility for preparing and filing the stock ownership forms required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of its officers and directors. Based on a review of forms filed and information provided by officers and directors to FMC Technologies, FMC Technologies believes that all Section 16(a) reporting requirements were fully met during 2003, except that late Form 4 filings were filed on February 14, 2003 for each reporting officer relating to sales of Common Stock to satisfy withholding tax obligations on vested restricted stock grants and late Form 4 filings were filed on June 14, 2003 for each reporting officer relating to investments of deferred compensation and matching grants by FMC Technologies under FMC Technologies’ Non-Qualified Savings Plan in 2002 and 2003.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee Report that follows shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by FMC Technologies under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, notwithstanding any general statement contained in any such filing incorporating this proxy statement by reference, except to the extent FMC Technologies incorporates such Report by specific reference.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has:

Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management;

Discussed with KPMG LLP, FMC Technologies’ independent public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and

Received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and has discussed with KPMG LLP its independence.

In reliance upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in FMC Technologies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The preceding report has been furnished by the following members of the Audit Committee: Mr. Mooney (Chair), Messrs. Larsen, Ringler and Hamilton.

Relationship with Independent Public Accountants

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reappointed KPMG LLP as FMC Technologies’ independent public accountants for 2004. KPMG LLP has served as the independent public accountants for FMC Technologies since its inception. During 2002 and 2003, the Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP. During 2003 and 2002, KPMG LLP’s fees were as follows:


	(000s)
	2003		2002
Audit Fees (1)	$	1,736	$	1,381
Audit Related Fees (2)		125		85
Tax Fees (3)		779		666
All Other Fees (4)		676		418

Total	$	3,316	$	2,550

(1)

Audit Fees consist of fees for the annual audit of FMC Technologies’ consolidated financial statements (including foreign statutory audits) and quarterly reviews of interim financial statements in FMC Technologies’ Form 10-Q reports.

(2)

Audit Related Fees were primarily associated with benefit plan audits and assistance with due diligence of potential acquisitions.

(3)

Tax Fees consist of fees for compliance, consultation and planning with respect to various domestic and foreign corporate tax matters.

(4)

All Other Fees included fees for tax and other compliance services for expatriates and consultation regarding financial reporting controls.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors considered the effect of KPMG LLP’s non-audit services in assessing the independence of such accountants and concluded that the provision of such services by KPMG LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews all relationships between KPMG LLP and FMC Technologies, including the provision of non-audit services, which may relate to the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee’s approval will be required to retain KPMG LLP for any permitted non-audit services and for the fees payable for such services. 100% of the services summarized in the table above not constituting Audit Fees were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in 2003.

FMC Technologies has been advised by KPMG LLP that it will have a representative in attendance at the Annual Meeting. The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires and also will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Code of Ethics

FMC Technologies’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is applicable to

all of its employees and directors, may be found on FMC Technologies’ website at www.fmctechnologies.com and is also available to stockholders in print upon request.

FMC Technologies has established a hotline for employees to report violations of the

ethics policy or complaints regarding accounting and auditing practices on an anonymous basis. Reports of possible violations of financial or accounting policies made to the hotline are directed to FMC Technologies’ Director of Internal Audit and the chair of the Audit Committee.

Proposals for the 2005 Annual Meeting

Stockholders may make proposals to be considered at the 2005 Annual Meeting. To be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2005 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be received not later than November 16, 2004, at FMC Technologies’ principal executive offices, 1803 Gears Road, Houston, Texas 77067, Attn: Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

FMC Technologies’ By-Laws provide that no business may be brought before an annual meeting unless: specified in the notice of meeting; otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or brought by a stockholder who has delivered notice to FMC Technologies (containing certain information specified in the By-Laws) not less than 60 nor more than 90 days before the date of the meeting. If FMC Technologies provides less than 70 days’ notice or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting, then a stockholder may bring business before that meeting if FMC Technologies receives notice from that stockholder within 10 days of FMC Technologies’ notice or public disclosure. A copy of the full text of the By-Law provisions discussed above may be obtained by writing to the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, FMC Technologies, Inc., 1803 Gears Road, Houston, Texas 77067.

Stockholders Sharing an Address

In accordance with notices sent to beneficial owners of FMC Technologies Common Stock sharing a single address, we are sending only one Annual Report of Stockholders, Form 10-K and Proxy Statement to that address unless we receive contrary instructions from any beneficial owner at that address. This “householding” practice reduces our printing and postage costs. However, if a beneficial owner at such an address wishes to receive separate Annual Reports to Stockholders, Form 10-Ks or Proxy Statements this year or in the future, he or she may contact our Transfer Agent, National City Bank, by mail at Corporate Trust Operations, P.O. Box 92301, Cleveland, Ohio 44193-0900, by

telephone at (800) 622-6757, by facsimile at (216) 257-8508 or by e-mail at shareholder.inquiries@nationalcity.com. If you are a stockholder of record receiving multiple copies, you can request householding by contacting us in the same manner.

If you own your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you can request householding by contacting the nominee.

Expenses Relating to this Proxy Solicitation

FMC Technologies will pay all expenses relating to this proxy solicitation. In addition to this solicitation by mail, FMC Technologies’ officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies by telephone or personal call without extra compensation for that activity. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, FMC Technologies will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners of Common Stock and obtaining the proxies of those owners. FMC Technologies has retained Georgeson Shareholder of Carlstadt, New Jersey to assist in the solicitation of proxies. FMC Technologies will pay the cost of such assistance, which is estimated to be $8,000, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket fees and expenses.
