FY 2015 Key Highlights

Key Business Highlights

• All time high order intake, thanks to existing and new clients relationships, leading to long-term visibility for the Group
• In Shipbuilding:
• ‒ Relevant agreements with 3 cruise operators, long-established clients (e.g. Carnival, Viking) and new entrants (e.g. Virgin), for a total of 9 ships and, in naval, orders for the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program, progress in Italy of the FREMM program and in US of the LCS program, lead to significant order backlog with deliveries up to 2026
• ‒ Margins impacted by the large number of prototypes acquired during the crisis, simultaneously in the design phase and mainly to be delivered in 2016, that caused in 2015 a significant overload with reduced support available from the subcontractors network
• ‒ Started engineering and production synergies with Vard
• In Offshore:
• ‒ Slower order intake, mainly due to a challenging global Oil & Gas market environment (oil price decline and lower E&P spending)
• ‒ Continuing issues in Brazil, also due to currently difficult political and economic situation
• ‒ Reorganization of Romanian and Norwegian yards to reduce the cost base
• ‒ Started business diversification into new markets and geographies
• In Equipment, Systems and Services: very solid performance

Key Financial Highlights

• Order intake at € 10.1 BN (€ 5.6 BN in FY 2014)
• Group backlog at € 15.7 BN (€ 9.8 BN in FY 2014) and soft backlog at € 3.0 BN (€ 5.0 BN in FY 2014)
• Revenues at € 4.2 BN (€ 4.4 BN in FY 2014), 67% from Shipbuilding and 28% from Offshore and 5% coming from foreign clients
• EBITDA at € (26) MM (€ 297 MM in FY 2014) with EBITDA margin at -0.6%; VARD contribution at € 1 MM
• Profit/(loss) for the period attributable to owners of the parent at € (175) MM (€ 67 MM in FY 2014); VARD contribution at € (37) MM, also impacted by unrealised foreign exchange losses for € (41) MM; the consolidated result before extraordinary and non recurring items at € (141) MM (€ 99 MM in FY 2014)
• Net debt at € 438 MM (€ 44 MM of net cash for FY 2014), reflects the typical working capital dynamics few months before the delivery of 4 cruise ships (in 1H 2016); construction loans at € 1.1 BN, of which € 983 MM related to VARD, and short term debt at € 263 MM, of which € 87 related to VARD

(1) With the aim to provide a meaningful index to measure the Group financial results, the Group adopts an EBITDA definition which normalizes the trend of results over time, and increases the level of comparability of the same results by excluding the impact of non recurring and extraordinary operating items; for the same reason, the Group also monitors Net Income before non recurring and extraordinary items (both operating and financials) (2) Excluding extraordinary and non recurring Items net of tax effect

• Workforce decrease mainly related to ongoing cost cutting program in Romania

(3) Construction loans are accounted for in Net working capital, not Net financial position, as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts

Order intake and backlog – by segment

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

(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 – 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 (excluding 3 RB-M for US Coast Guard delivered in 2015)

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

• Cruise − Visibility of deliveries up to 2022 − Extension of delivery dates agreed with clients, from 2016 to 1H 2017, for 2 cruise ships in order to reach a

better workload balance

• Naval

18

• − Orders for the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program and progress of FREMM and LCS programs extend visibility of deliveries up to 2026, with 9 units scheduled for delivery after 2020
• − Delivery of "Pietro Venuti" submarine and LCS7 rescheduled to 2016
• Offshore(3)
• − Termination of 2 contracts following the filing for insolvency of the client and cancellation by Transpetro of 2 LPG orders (excluded from backlog)
• − Production schedules adjusted due to extension of delivery dates on some projects, resulting in improved workload balance

Revenues – by segment and end market

Comments

• Shipbuilding revenues at € 2.8 BN, increased by 5.3% from FY 2014
• − Higher volumes in cruise partially offset by the effects of cost overruns on work in progress
• − In naval revenues in line with FY 2014
• Offshore revenues at € 1.2 BN, down 24.1% vs. FY 2014 due to reduced activity at some of the European shipyards and negative effect of NOK/EUR exchange rate
• Equipment, Systems and Services revenues at € 226 MM, up 17.7% vs. FY 2014, thanks to the increase of volumes both in after sales services for naval vessels and sale of automation systems

EBITDA(1) by segment

(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 and other non-recurring personnel costs, (ix) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (x) other non recurring items

Profit/(loss) before extraordinary and non recurring items(1)

€ MM	FY 2014	FY 2015
Profit/(loss) for the period A	55	(289)
Extraordinary and non recurring items gross of tax B effect	44	50
Tax effect on extraordinary and non recurring items C	(12)	(13)
Profit/(loss) before extraordinary and A + B + C non recurring items(1)	87	(252)
Attributable to owners of the parent	99	(141)

• Profit/(loss) before extraordinary and non recurring items at € (252) MM, vs. € 87 MM in FY 2014 mainly affected by:
• − Lower EBIT at € (137) MM related to performance in Shipbuilding and Offshore and higher amortization
• − Higher finance expenses (€ 135 MM) including unrealized foreign exchange losses related to VARD for € 41 MM
• − Extraordinary and non recurring costs gross of tax effect at € 50 MM related to asbestos claims (€ 30 MM), costs for restructuring plans and other nonrecurring personnel costs (€ 17 MM) and extraordinary wage guarantee fund costs (€ 3 MM)
• Profit/(loss) for the period at € (289) MM (€ 55 MM in FY 2014), with result attributable to owners of the parent at € (175) MM (€ 67 MM in FY 2014)

Capital expenditures

Net working capital(1)

Breakdown by main components Comments

(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 at the end of FY 2015 increased to € 251 MM, compared to € 69 MM for FY 2014 with:
• ‒ Increase of work in progress (€ +764 MM) and inventories and advances (€ +17 MM) driven by growth of production volumes
• ‒ Increase of construction loans (€ -256 MM)
• ‒ Decrease of trade receivables (€ -50 MM) and increase of trade payables (€ -132 MM)
• ‒ Negative variation of other current assets and liabilities (€ -178 MM) mainly related to changes in fair value of forex derivatives
• Construction loans in FY 2015 at € 1.1 BN, of which € 983 MM related to VARD and € 120 MM related to cruise business

Net financial position(1)

Key financial ratios

Comments

• ROI at -8.6% and ROE at -20.7% for FY 2015 significantly affected by the negative results for the period and not directly comparable to FY 2014
• Net debt / Equity at 0.3x and Gross debt / Equity at 0.7x for FY 2015, increased compared to FY 2014 due to:
• ‒ Equity decrease following the losses in the period
• ‒ Debt increase (both gross and net) related to higher financing requirements resulting from the growth of volumes in cruise business and partly for the construction of several offshore vessels scheduled for delivery in 1H 2016
