Update on financial situation

  • The process with the lenders to agree a sustainable financial solution continues in a constructive manner with a majority of lenders providing their support to the Company and process while retaining their rights.
  • While the process is ongoing, the company will continue to defer making payments of scheduled instalments and interests under its USD 1,300 million and USD 144 million facilities. Similarly, payment of the final instalment owed and due under the seller credit to Cosco for the Safe Notos remains as reported on 14 April 2020 subject to ongoing discussions with Cosco and lenders.
  • Prosafe aims to complete the refinancing process as soon as possible and will revert with further information in due course. Although it is unclear what a final solution may look like, it is anticipated that there will be a significant equitization of debt which is likely to result in minimal or no recovery for current shareholders.
  • Pending outcome of the process, the company continues to operate on a business-as usual basis to protect and create value through challenging market conditions.

  • Despite lower average day rates, reported EBITDA was positive by approximately USD 1 million (USD 6 million negative) due to good cost performance
  • Underlying EBITDA adjusted for one-offs was USD 2.8 million (USD 0.4 million negative). One-off costs in 2020 were mainly related to Westcon court case
  • Lower depreciation due to the lower carrying value of assets following the impairments in Q1 2020

OUTLOOK

The company believes that there will be a need for accommodation vessels and a gradual move towards a sustainable market. The company is, however, of the opinion that the supply side in the industry is too fragmented and in need of significant reduction of the fleet. Meaningful consolidation and continued scrapping are needed to contribute to a faster normalization of the return in our industry. In this perspective, Prosafe will continue to be active in further consolidation of the offshore accommodation industry to protect and create value.
