Prosafe SE: First quarter 2018 results - Good operating performance and Safe Caledonia was awarded a five-month contract

Prosafe SE: First quarter 2018 results - Good operating performance and Safe Caledonia was awarded a five-month contract

EBITDA for the first quarter amounted to USD 49.2 million (USD 32.8 million).

This improvement has been achieved despite lower utilisation of the vessels and

mainly due to lower operating expenses and revenue effects from IFRS 15 (USD

8.7 million).  Cash flow from operations was USD 51.3 million (USD 73.8

million).

Jesper Kragh Andresen, Prosafe's CEO states, "Despite the continued challenging

market conditions, we are pleased to announce a continuation of our good

operational performance. During the quarter we were awarded an important five-

month contract by BP for the Safe Caledonia at the Clair Ridge platform West for

Shetland. Indications remain that the general demand for accommodation services

will gradually pick up from 2019. Meanwhile, we continue our efforts on cost

efficiencies and business improvement so to ensure the company is well placed

before the market upturn and for any opportunities that may present themselves

to the industry".
