Order intake and backlog Breakdown by segment

Total backlog at € 31.8 bln, ~ 5.5 times 2019 revenues

• Order intake for the quarter € 0.3 bln

(1) Sum of backlog and soft backlog

(2) 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

Backlog deployment Breakdown by segment and end market

(1) Ships with length > 40 m; 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 business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

Revenues

  • Revenues down 4.5% YOY at € 1,307
  • -20% production volumes YOY with estimated loss of ~ € 190 mln
  • Shipbuilding revenues up 1.3% vs Q1 2019 despite suspension of Italian operations
  • − Offshore & Specialized Vessels revenues down 37.9% YOY due to scarcity of orders in the core market and negative effect of EUR/NOK conversion (~ € 8 mln)
  • Equipment, Systems & Services revenues up 20.6% vs Q1 2019, thanks also to the positive contribution of the reconstruction of the bridge over the Polcevera river

(1) Breakdown calculated on total revenues before eliminations

(2) Restated following the dismissal of small fishery and aquaculture support vessels business (VARD Aukra) and the aggregation of Vard Electro into the Shipbuilding segment (ex Offshore)

EBITDA

  • EBITDA at € 72 mln (€ 92 mln in Q1 2019), EBITDA margin at 5.5% (6.7% in Q1 2019)
  • Suspension of activities led to estimated shortfall in EBITDA of ~ € 15 mln
  • − Shipbuilding profitability affected by the suspension of Italian production activities in March
  • − Offshore and Specialized Vessels margin break-even, following the revision of costs at completion for several projects in 2019
  • Reduced margin of the Equipment, Systems & Services segment due to low-profitability but strategicallyrelevant projects
  • €23 mln Covid-related extraordinary costs

(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 dismissal of small fishery and aquaculture support vessels business (VARD Aukra) and the aggregation of Vard Electro into the Shipbuilding segment (ex Offshore)

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

  • Net working capital changes due to:
  • − Reduction of Work in Progress (-948 mln Q/Q) related to the cash-in of the final payment for the cruise ships delivered in the quarter
  • − Increase of trade receivables (+301 mln Q/Q) related to the final installment of a cruise ship to be delivered in 2020
  • − Decreased trade payables (-165 mln Q/Q)
  • Construction loans at € 693 mln (€ 811 in FY 2019)
  • Net debt levels mirror Net Working Capital changes

Cruise Industry Outlook

Consequences of the crisis

  • 2020: a challenging year for shipowners and shipbuilders
  • Cruise operators have withdrawn their guidance as the industry backlash is yet hardly quantifiable

Mitigants

Industry recovery…

…ensuring passenger safety

  • Cruise operators are trying to weather the crisis and preserve going-concern
  • i. by improving their liquidity positions (applying for debt holiday schemes by ECA agencies)
  • ii. by securing additional funding instruments
  • Diverging opinions about market recovery but a «measured comeback» starting from Q3 appears to be the base case scenario (also conditional to the easing of Government restrictions)1

«People want to travel. Europe must now gradually open up. Summer holidays are possible responsibly and with clear rules. We will reinvent the holiday in 2020»2 (F. Joussen, CEO of TUI Group)

• Cruise operators have offered flexible cancellation policies but vouchers are popular (76% - UBS report3 )

«The booked position for 2021 is within historical ranges when compared to same time last year with 2021 prices up mid single digits compared to 2020»4 (Royal Caribbean: Corporate press release)

• Ensuring passengers safety will be key to industry recovery:

«If the cruise lines do a good job, a cruise ship could be among the safest places to be anywhere»5 (F. Del Rio, CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line)

  • We are working with the main cruise operators to implement onboard cruise ships innovative technological solutions, aimed at ensuring continuous sanitation of the vessels against bacteria and viruses
  • Repeat cruisers (~55% of total cruise passengers) are more likely to go back on a cruise ship: the real challenge for cruise operators will be attracting new customers6

2020 Company Outlook

COVID-19
Yet too early to assess the full brunt of the effect of the pandemic
Full-year results likely to be impacted by:

Lower production volumes and related operating inefficiencies (e.g. reduced operating leverage, sub
optimal utilization rate of yards)

Extra costs related to:

Ensuring the health and safety
of
our employees
(e.g. PPE, thermo-scanning devices, etc.)

Managing late
deliveries
Safeguarding
backlog

Negotiations
in progress with ship owners to arrange new delivery schedules.
New delivery plans will also take into account suppliers' and subcontractors' effective
availabilities%
Efforts
towards
diversification
Increased commitment to ensure new opportunities (e.g. in the electronic & software system), aimed at
improving business diversification and market visibility in order to successfully weather sector-specific
cyclical lows
