Order intake and backlog – by segment

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

(2) Sum of backlog and soft backlog

(3) 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

Comments

• Consistent growth of backlog across all segments, notably in Shipbuilding
• Order intake
• − Shipbuilding: 12 units (2 cruise ships, 7 naval vessels for Qatar Emiri Naval Forces, 1 LCS and 2(1) vessels for petrol-chemical transportation)
• − Offshore: 20 units (4 small-sized cruise vessels for Ponant, 15 module carrier vessels for Topaz and 1 fishing vessel for Havfisk); Q2 2016 is the best quarter in terms of order acquisition since 2013
• − Equipment, Systems & Services: orders mainly related to Italian Navy's fleet renewal program
• Backlog and soft backlog
• − Total backlog(2) covers ~ 5.2 years of work if compared to 2015 revenues
• − Soft backlog(3) includes also Vard's LOI with an undisclosed client for 2 small-sized cruise vessels

Backlog deployment – by segment and end market

(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) Ships with length > 40 m

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

Revenues – by segment and end market

(1) Breakdown calculated on total revenues before eliminations

Comments

• Shipbuilding
• − Growth of volumes in cruise (13 units under construction) now representing 44% of total Group revenues
• − Decrease in other activities primarily due to the lower contribution of repairs and conversions
• Offshore
• − Revenue decrease driven by the reduction of activities at VARD yards: in Europe, affected by order slowdown experienced in recent quarters pending the start of production of small-sized cruise ships, and in Brazil where phasing out of Niterói yard has been completed
• − Negative effect of NOK/EUR exchange rate
• Equipment, Systems and Services
• − Increase of volumes both in after sales services for naval vessels and sale of automation systems

EBITDA(1) by segment

EBITDA and EBITDA margin Comments

(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) extraordinary wages guarantee fund – Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria, (viii) expenses for corporate restructuring, (ix) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (x) other non recurring items

• Turning point vs. negative EBITDA of 2H 2015 caused by extra costs on cruise ships in delivery in 2016
• Shipbuilding
• − Gradual margin recovery with the delivery of highly complex prototypes (3 already delivered out of 4 scheduled for 2016)
• − Potential benefits over the coming semesters from the increase in naval volumes and the strategic initiatives currently being finalized
• Offshore
• − De-risking of activities in Brazil continues in line with business plan forecasts, with the delivery of 3 vessels and phasing out of Niterói yard
• − Margins in Europe affected by order slowdown started in Q4 2014 pending the effects of the diversification strategy
• Equipment, Systems & Services
• − Continuing positive trend in all business areas
