Update on financial situation

  • After several years of low activity across the industry and an unsustainable debt level, the company has been engaged in process with its lenders since end of 2019 to ensure sufficient financial flexibility for the longer term
  • The process with the lenders to agree a sustainable financial solution is constructive and progressing, and the company has received continued support from a majority of lenders across the loan facilities while lenders reserve their rights
  • While the process is ongoing, the company will continue to defer making payments of scheduled instalments and interests under both facilities. Similarly, payment of the final instalment owed and due under the seller credit to Cosco for the Safe Notos, remains as first time reported on 13 February subject to ongoing discussions with lenders
  • 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
  • Prosafe expects to complete the refinancing process in the second half of 2020 and will revert with further information in due course

  • Low fleet utilisation at 6.5% (Q2 2019: 71.6%) due to commercial developments driven by Covid-19 and oil price collapse
  • Lower operating revenues due to low utilisation
  • Reported EBITDA of USD 10 million negative
  • Q2 2019 underlying operating expenses, adjusted by a oneoff reversal of accrued lay up costs for the Safe Eurus of USD 19 million, were USD 41 million. As such, operating expenses in Q2 2020 were significantly lower (USD 26 million) compared to the same quarter last year, not only driven by lower activity, but also by significant cost initiatives. For example:
    • Off-hire CPD: 2020 costs were 30-40% lower than 2019
    • SG&A: 2020 level excl. one-offs was approx. 30% lower vs. 2019
  • Lower depreciation due to the lower carrying value of assets following the impairments in Q3 2019 and Q1 2020
  • Lower other financial costs were mainly due to lower negative effect from fair value of derivatives

  • Total assets of USD 615 million, significantly reduced from the same quarter last year mainly due to the impairments carried out in Q3 2019 and Q1 2020
  • Liquidity reserve per Q2 2020 of USD 178 million, down by USD 63 million from Q2 2019 , largely due to the payment of the final Safe Eurus instalment to the yard of USD 50 million.
  • Net interest-bearing debt increased mainly due to taking delivery of the Safe Eurus last year plus termination of two swaps in the current quarter, partially offset by a one-off positive adjustment of USD 28.7 million related to amortised cost of interest bearing debts resulting from lenders re-electing PIK margin instead of warrants at Q4 last year
  • Book equity was USD 899 million negative by end Q2 2020. However, the company anticipates that an agreement with lenders regarding sufficient financial flexibility for the longer term will improve the balance sheet significantly
