Backlog deployment

Improved visibility up to 2029 in the Naval and 13 new units acquired in the Offshore & Specialized Vessels

FY 2020: 19 units delivered, 18 new units, 97 ships in backlog and 116 ships including soft backlog

(1) Articulated Tug Barge (ATB) is an articulated unit consisting of a barge and a tug, thus being counted as two vessels in one unit

(2) Offshore & Specialized Vessels business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Order intake and backlog

Strong contribution from the Naval and significant recovery of the Offshore on Y/Y comparison

Order intake at €4.5 bn

  • ~ €1.3 bn order for 2 submarines for the Italian Navy; ~US\$800 mln for the first FFG(X) frigate
  • Offshore order intake ~3x FY2019

Robust soft backlog at €7.9 bn thanks to the long-term strategy of internationalization and diversification

Total backlog at €35.7 bn, approximately 6.1x 2019 revenues

(1) Total backlog is the sum of backlog and soft backlog

(2) Restated following the redefinition of operating segments

(3) Order intake/revenues

(4) Soft backlog represents the value of existing contract options and letters of intent as well as contracts in advanced negotiation, none of which yet reflected in the order backlog

Revenues

Steady top line YoY despite the effect of €1,055 mln Covid-19 related shortfall in revenue

Revenues breakdown by segment(1)

(1) Breakdown calculated before eliminations

(2) Restated following the reallocation of VARD Electro from the Offshore to the Shipbuilding segment

Steady top line YoY (+0.5%) including the effect of €690 mln pass-through activities (Naval), despite Covid-19 related revenue shortfall of €1,055 mln (~3.2 mln shortfall in production hours)

Revenue shortfall to be recovered in 2021- 2022

  • Shipbuilding: €909 mln COVID-19 related revenue shortfall and €41 mln negative EUR/NOK conversion
  • Offshore & Specialized Vessels revenues up 19.0% YoY despite €26 mln negative effect from EUR/NOK conversion
  • Equipment, Systems & Services: €222 mln COVID-19 related revenue shortfall

EBITDA Robust EBITDA despite €80 mln COVID-19 related EBITDA shortfall

EBITDA breakdown by segment(1)

€ mln

EBITDA margin at 6.1% excluding pass-through activities

  • €58 mln lost EBITDA contribution from Shipbuilding due to Covid-19
  • Offshore & Specialized Vessels nearly at breakeven
  • €22 mln lost EBITDA contribution from Equipment, Systems & Services due to Covid-19

EBITDA Margin as % of total revenues

  • Shipbuilding Offshore & Specialized Vessels Equipment, Systems & Services Other activities and Eliminations
  • (1) EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. The Company defines EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period before (i) income taxes, (ii) share of profit/(loss) from equity investments, (iii) income/expense from investments, (iv) finance costs, (v) finance income, (vi) depreciation and amortization (vii) expenses for corporate restructuring, (viii) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (ix) other non recurring items

(2) Restated following the reallocation of VARD Electro from Offshore to Shipbuilding

Beyond COVID-19: our route towards recovery 2020 performance by quarter

  • First half was heavily impacted by COVID-19
  • COVID-19 related extraordinary costs have reduced throughout the year, with a clear path towards operational normalisation

Net result

Impact from COVID-19 extraordinary costs, including reduced operating leverage after production halt

FY 2020 net result and adjusted net result(1)

FY 2019 net result and adjusted net result(1)

Attributable to owners of the parent Attributable to non-controlling interests Adjusted net income margin

(1) Net result before extraordinary and non-recurring items

Extraordinary and non-recurring items include:

  • €196 mln COVID-19 related costs
  • €52 mln asbestos-related litigations

Negative minorities at €(5) mln in FY 2020 versus negative minorities at €(7) mln in FY 2019

Capex

Preserving our long-term capex program for enhancing technological innovation and scale up of US operations

  • Adjusting production capacity at Italian yards
  • Improving general safety and environmental conditions
  • Improving efficiency at Romanian shipyards
  • Scale up of US operations for the FFG(X) program

Net working capital and net financial position

Improved quality of total debt q/q with greater reliance on construction loans

  • Net financial position impacted by the postponed cash-in of cruise ship installments agreed with the shipowners (~ €450 mln)
  • ~ €360 mln q/q improvement of net financial position with greater reliance on construction loans
  • Adequate liquidy position thanks to 2 cruise ships delivered in 4Q and €1.15 bn loan guaranteed by SACE
  • No financial covenants

(1) Construction loans are committed working capital financing facilities, treated as part of Net working capital, not in Net debt, as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts

OUTLOOK

Focus on cruise

More efficient and eco-friendly fleets will make shipbuilding demand thrive

U P D A T E O N O P E R A T I O N S

  • EU operations partially resumed, while US operations still voluntarily suspended
  • The success of vaccination programs is key to industry recovery, with a phased-in return expected from 2H 2021
  • All the major shipowners have confirmed that 2021 bookings remain within the historical range despite minimal advertising campaigns

C R U I S E S E N T I M E N T (1)

  • 74% of cruisers are likely to cruise in the next few years
  • 2 out of 3 cruisers are willing to cruise within a year
  • 58% of international vacationers who have never cruised are likely to cruise in the next few years
  • ~40-45%(2) of customers have opted for future cruise credits as opposed to cash refunds
  • Secular growth trend is still intact with expected strong pent-up demand in the aftermath of the pandemic

E N V I S A G I N G A N I N D U S T R Y P O S T - P A N D E M I C S C E N A R I O

  • Disposal of older and less efficient vessels to capitalize on pent-up demand and compliance with stricter environmental regulations will drive demand for new orders in the medium-term
  • Technological innovation may thrive in response to enhanced health and safety protocols and medical facilities required onboard

(1) CLIA-Qualtrics Survey December 2020-4,000 International vacationers each, eight countries, U.S, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain (2) Public sources from major shipowners

2021 Company outlook (1/2)

S H I P B U I L D I N G

  • Programmed production ramp-up in order to catch-up with the revenue shortfall in 2020
  • Cruise: 5 ships to be delivered from Italy and 2 from Norway
  • Naval: 5 vessels to be delivered from Italy and 3 from the US. Kick-off of the preliminary operations for the FFG(X) program

O F F S H O R E & S P E C I A L I Z E D V E S S E L S

  • Orders in line with 2020, with significant intake expected from wind offshore and fishery
  • 4 vessels to be delivered in 2021, while pursuing margin recovery also through the diversification strategy

E Q U I P M E N T, S Y S T E M S , A N D S E R V I C E S

Execution of the backlog, with strong focus on after-sale services (contracts for the Italian and the Qatari Navy); complete accommodation (cabins, bathrooms, and public halls); electronics, systems, and software (naval defence systems; monitoring and safety of critical infrastructures); and infrastructures (steel infrastructures, ports, and healthcare facilities)
