First quarter 2017

Highlights

(Figures in brackets relate to the fourth quarter 2016. The figures are unaudited.)

  • In the first quarter, Sevan Marine entered into a long term framework agreement with ExxonMobil for the provision of services and the use of Sevan Marine's cylindrical hull technology. The first work order under this agreement has been issued.
  • Operating revenue for continued operations in the first quarter 2017 was NOK 12.1 million, down from NOK 18.3 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The decline was largely due to a reduction in study activity in the quarter.
  • Sevan Marine continued to reduce its cost base in line with the reduction in the activity level. A further restructuring charge of NOK 3.7 million affected this quarter's earnings and EBITDA for continued operations was negative NOK 16.7 million.
  • Sevan Marine is in a solid financial position. It has no interest bearing debt, is in a net cash position of NOK 152.3 million and has an equity ratio of 66 percent. Sevan Marine reached a settlement with Teekay regarding the Piranema ANP environmental fine dating back to 2011. This led to a cash payment of NOK 25.3 million and a positive NOK 6.4 million financial gain in the quarter.
  • Sevan Marine expects a closing of the sale of its 51% stake in KANFA to TechnipFMC during the second quarter 2017 with insignificant impact on the financial results. The Topside and Process Technology segment is reported as discontinued operations in the quarter.

Operational review

Work on existing projects

Sevan Marine delivered some 7,500 (12,000) engineering hours in the quarter, driven by work on the Goliat, Dana Western Isles, UK sector and drilling related projects.

Sevan Marine continued to provide engineering support for the UK Continental Shelf project in the quarter. Payments under the License Agreement remain subject to the field developers' final investment decision and start of construction of the unit.

The first work order under the ExxonMobil framework agreement was issued in the quarter. The work involves a continuation of the FLNG study for a specific FLNG field development. The current work order is for approximately 5,000 hours of engineering to be completed during 2017.

Sevan Marine continued to provide engineering support services for the Dana Western Isles project on the UK Continental Shelf. Sevan Marine is entitled to a variable license fee linked to production with respect to the Western Isles project. The unit has now been successfully transported from China to Rotterdam. The operator has announced that they expect the FPSO to be installed at the field in late 2017.

Prospective projects and studies

Sevan Marine's affiliated company HiLoad LNG continued the marketing and development of both the HiLoad LNG offloading system for FLNG and the Floating Regas Dock ("FRD") for small scale regasification projects.

With respect to the FRD, HiLoad LNG announced in April a cooperation with Flour Corporation for the development of the FRD regas technology. FRD continues to attract market interest and HiLoad LNG is optimistic that additional FRD-related work can be won in the coming quarters. FRD is a cost effective alternative to standard floating, storage and regasification unit ("FSRU") solutions, particularly for small scale regasification projects.

Progress on new developments

Sevan Marine has continued to work on new developments based on the cylindrical hull technology and expertise. This includes work on a new mid-water drilling application, work on a floating power distribution hub, work on a new fish farming concept and further work on the ultra-deepwater application using steel catenary risers (SCRs).

Sevan Marine looks to continue developing new applications for its cylindrical hull technology and related concepts with the objective of delivering cost effective solutions to the market.

Financial review

Sevan Marine has changed the functional and presentation currency to Norwegian Krone (NOK) from USD. The company has done a reassessment of the functional and presentation currency based on the relevant IFRS accounting standards and has concluded that the functional and presentation currency shall be changed to NOK from USD with effect from January 2017. The rationale for this change is that the vast majority of the company's revenue, cost and assets are based in NOK. All financial figures, including comparable figures, are now presented in NOK.

Results for the quarter

Operating revenue for continued operations for the first quarter 2017 was NOK 12.1 million, down from NOK 18.3 million last quarter. EBITDA was negative NOK 16.7 million (negative NOK 16.0 million) and net loss was NOK 11.9. million (loss of NOK 9.7 million). EBITDA was negatively impacted by further restructuring costs of NOK 3.7 million related to severance pay and retirement benefit changes. The net loss was positively impacted by the agreement regarding the Piranema ANP environmental fine which led to a positive reversal of accruals of NOK 6.4 million. In addition the net loss was negatively impacted by a currency loss on USD holdings of NOK 2.0 million.

Discontinued operating revenue for the first quarter 2017 was NOK 28.8 million (NOK 11.6 million). EBITDA was negative NOK 1.8 million (positive NOK 1.5 million) and net loss was NOK 2.5 million (loss of NOK 1.3 million). EBITDA was negatively impacted by reduced margin contribution from projects.

Cash Flow

As of 31 March 2017, cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 152.3 million for continued operations (NOK 213.9 million). The negative cash flow in the quarter of NOK 61.6 million is largely impacted by payment of the Piranema ANP environmental fine of NOK 25.3 million and restructuring payments (severance and legal) of NOK 18.1 million.

For discontinued operations, cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 23.7 million (NOK 12.0 million) with a positive cash flow in the quarter of NOK 11.8 million.

Financial position

The equity ratio was 66 percent as of 31 March 2017.

Balance sheet composition 31 March, 2017

Logitel Offshore

We refer to the earnings release in the second quarter of 2016 and comments made regarding the circumstances surrounding the legality and potential claims in relation to the Logitel Offshore Agreements. Sevan Marine is dedicated to seeking the best outcome for the company and its shareholders.

In this regard, Sevan Marine has commenced legal action against Logitel Offshore Pte Ltd claiming payment of approximately USD 60 million in relation to the Logitel loan, and in parallel has commenced arbitration against both Logitel Offshore Pte Ltd and Teekay Offshore Partners LP claiming payment of an amount of approximately USD 10 million in relation to the Fourpartite Agreement. Initial court and arbitration hearings related to these matters have been scheduled for the autumn of 2017. Sevan Marine reserves the right to, at any time, pursue other involved parties. Agreements suspending time-bar limitations have been entered into with such involved parties.

Risk and uncertainty factors

Sevan Marine is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The company's overall risk management program focuses on the uncertainty of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the company's financial performance.

Sevan Marine's major customers are typically oil companies with a strong financial basis, but, as with suppliers and customers in general, there is a risk that unforeseen financial difficulties on the counterparty's side may arise which could have material adverse effects on the financial condition, the cash flows and/or the prospects of Sevan Marine.

The exposure to the oil and gas market also means that the company is subject to the market risk of declining work and price pressure. The company is also subject to field development and reservoir risk in situations where the license fee is tied to production.

The outcome of the Logitel situation, any potential recovery of value and the timing of such recovery remains uncertain. As such, there remains material uncertainty regarding both the amount and timing of any payments in relation to the Logitel agreements.

Sevan Marine continues to challenge the decision by the Norwegian tax authorities (Skatt Sør) regarding the adjustment of the 2012 tax return which led to an additional tax charge of NOK 40.9 million and tax payment of NOK 31.7 million in 2016. The outcome of this matter together with any potential recovery of tax already paid or payment of any potential penalty tax already accrued for remains uncertain.

As announced, the Board received in October 2015 the external investigation report regarding allegations of possible improper conduct related to historical contracts with Petrobras in Brazil from Advokatfirmaet Selmer DA ("Selmer"). Sevan Marine provided the report to the Norwegian authority for investigation and prosecution of economic and environmental crime ("ØKOKRIM"). Sevan Marine has made no payments and had no interaction with the agent in question or any of his companies since the IPO of drilling activities and restructuring of Sevan Marine ASA in 2011. Sevan Marine is cooperating fully with relevant authorities in the various jurisdictions involved (Norway, Brazil, US and UK). Sevan Marine adheres to the strictest of compliance and ethical standards and continues to take this matter very seriously. Sevan Marine ASA has to date not been charged by any of the authorities involved.

Outlook

Sevan Marine continues to operate in a challenging market where many of its key prospects have been delayed over the past years. There has been an improvement in market sentiment. Despite this, 2017 will remain a challenging year with estimated negative profits and cash flow.

Sevan Marine remains optimistic that additional study work can be won in 2017 and 2018 for FPSO, FLNG and HiLoad FRD applications. With prospective licenses from both the Western Isles project and UK Continental Shelf project, late 2017 and 2018 should show improved results.

Sevan Marine remains confident that given its unique cost effective solutions, the increased market interest, its solid cash position and strong balance sheet that it has the resources and ability to successfully weather the current slowdown in activity and to regain profitability.
