Group Overview

Highlights for Beerenberg (Beerenberg Holdco II AS consolidated) in the $4th$ quarter of 2016 was

  • Revenue was MNOK 584, an increase of 4% compared to 4th quarter 2015.
  • EBITDA of MNOK 67, up MNOK 11 compared to Q4 2015
  • EBITDA margin was 11,4 % compared to 10% in Q4 2015
  • Estimated order backlog at the end of the quarter was BNOK 10.2
  • Beerenberg has recorded a loss provision related to restructuring of MNOK 5 in the quarter.

Income Statement

In the $4th$ quarter the activity has been high on new build projects with a 4 % increase compared to $4th$ quarter last year. For the full year the revenue is down 13% mainly due to low activity on offshore contracts.

EBITDA in the 4th quarter was MNOK 67, and increase of MNOK 11 from last year. Included in the quarterly result was a provision for restructuring of MNOK 5.

For the year the EBITDA was MNOK 219, down from MNOK 275 in 2015. In addition to lower activity, restructuring provisions and cost related to relocating production facilities to Poland are the main reason for the lower EBITDA.

The profit before tax in the $4th$ quarter was MNOK 35, up from MNOK 10.6 in 4th quarter 2015. In 2015 the result was affected by a provision for relocating the production facilities to Poland. In full year 2016 the loss before tax is MNOK 62. The loss reflects an impairment of intangible assets of MNOK 150 in 3rd quarter 2016.

Balance Sheet

Total assets was MNOK 1 875 at the end of the quarter with an equity ratio of 18,4 %. The reduction in total asset is mainly due to impairment of intangible assets in 3rd quarter 2016.

Working capital was reduced by MNOK 140 in the quarter mainly related to payments on new build projects.

Net interest bearing debt was MNOK 679 compared to MNOK 770 in 4th quarter 2015, mainly related to earnings.

In June 2014 Beerenberg issued a 4 year bond loan of MNOK 1100. In Q4 2016 Beerenberg acquired additional bond with a nominal value of MNOK 92 and held at year end MNOK 187 of own bonds. In January 2017 it acquired an additional MNOK 20 in own bonds and current balance is MNOK 207. The company continues the process of evaluating its options to secure longer term funding beyond the maturity of the bond loan in June 2018.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations was MNOK 177 in 4th quarter and MNOK 175 in 2016. Minor investments offset by minor sale of assets and a tax related refund arrangement (Skattefunn) resulted in a positive cash flow from investment in the quarter of MNOK 1.2.

Order Backlog & Market

The market outlook for Beerenberg remains mixed. The drop in oil-price has re-enforced a number of cut backs related to running Maintenance & Modification contracts which has impacted the activity level. We expect the M&M market to recover and return to growth during 2017. However, the down turn could have a growing impact on the activity level within Greenfield operations in the next 2-3 years.

The tender activity has been on a somewhat lowerlevel in 4th quarter; however there are still significant tenders outstanding. In addition the company has an increasing amount of tenders towards clients in Asia.

There were no major awards during $4th$ quarter 2016. Total order intake of new contracts was MNOK 21 mainly related to product (Benarx) orders, included associated consultancy/engineering services.

The current estimated order backlog (including frameagreements and options) is BNOK 10.2. The estimate reflects current and near term expected activity level including latest new wins and losses.

HSEO

At the end of Q4 2016 Beerenberg had 1344 employees, down 48 from last quarter.

During the 4th quarter of 2016 Beerenberg recorded 2 incidents compared to 0 same period last year.

Total recordable incident frequency (TRIF) was 2,9 measured on last twelve months basis (LTM), compared to 2,97 YTD at the end of 4th quarter 2015

Note 8 - Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In Q3 2016, following the non-renewal of a larger contract an indication of impairment situation of intangible assets was identified, and in accordance with IAS 36 a test for impairment of intangible assets and Goodwill was performed. According to this standard the company shall estimate recoverable amount, and compare this to book values including Goodwill. The group has two cash-generating units (CGU), "Benarx" and "Services". The cash generating units are coinciding with the segments described in Note 6.

Intangible assets and Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing capital employed in the two CGUs against the present value of expected future cash flows of the CGUs (Value in use). Value in use is valued according to level 3 of the valuation hierarchy (IFRS 13).

The result of the test for impairment was a write down in the segment (CGU) Services of MNOK 45 of intangible assets related to customer relations and a further write down of MNOK 105 MNOK of Goodwill, also in Services.

The basis for the impairment test set out certain requirements. The rate of return is set to 10.7 %.

Forecasts approved by the Board of Directors for the next 5 years forms the basis for the test of impairment. The forecasted activity level for the Group and the Segments are expected to return, over the next years, to approximately the same level as 2016. Margins are assumed to remain at similar level as today in the segment Services, while margins are assumed to increase somewhat in the segment Benarx.

Key assumptions for estimated future cash flows are:

  • An increase and stabilization of oil-price on a level higher level than current, with a gradually higher activity level on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

  • The Group maintaining a reasonable market share of expected new developments through amongst other deliveries to new build projects initiated on Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The sensitivities for the impairment test for CGU Services are:

Figures in MNOK Change in assumtion
Required rate of return $-1\%$ point $+1\%$ point
Effect on impairment + 92 MNOK $-77$ MNOK
Operating result $+10%$ $-10%$
Effect on impairment + 83 MNOK $-83$ MNOK
Revenue* $+10%$ $-10%$
Effect on impairment +106 MNOK $-106$ MNOK

* EBITDA margin unchanged

The Group believes that balanced assumptions have been used for testing impairment.

Note 9 - Subsequent events

The group acquired own bonds with a nominal value of MNOK 20 in January 2017.
