Highlights for Beerenberg (Beerenberg Holdco II AS consolidated) in the 3rd quarter of 2016 was
The revenue in first 9 months of 2016 is down 17% compared to the corresponding period last year. Lower activity, especially within offshore maintenance and modification is the main reason for the decrease.
EBITDA for Q3 was MNOK 55, down from MNOK 75 last year mainly due to lower activity and loss provision for restructuring. Year to date the EBITDA is MNOK 153, down from MNOK 220 last year. In addition to lower activity, cost related to restructuring and relocation of production facilities from Norway to Poland are the main reason for the lower FBITDA
The loss before tax (EBT) in Q3 was MNOK -124 compared to a profit of MNOK 108 last year. The main reason for the loss is restructuring cost and an
impairment of intangible assets of MNOK 150 in the quarter.
Total assets was MNOK 1894 at the end of the quarter with an equity ratio of 16,8 %. The reduction in total asset is mainly due to impairment of intangible assets.
Working capital was reduced by MNOK 3 in the quarter. The increase of MNOK 148 from year end 2015 is mainly related to commercial discussions on a new build project. The working capital situation is expected to improve significantly towards year end. Net interest bearing debt was MNOK 842 compared to MNOK 909 in 3rd quarter 2015.
In June 2014 Beerenberg issued a 4 year bond loan of MNOK 1100. In 03 2016 Beerenberg acquired additional bond with a nominal value of MNOK 40 and now holds MNOK 95 of own bonds. Furthermore, Beerenberg is in the process of evaluating its options to secure longer term funding beyond the maturity of the bond loan in June 2018.
Cash flow from operations was MNOK 56 in Q3 and MNOK -2 in first nine months of 2016. The neutral cash flow for the year is mainly related to the increase in working capital. The working capital situation is expected to improve significantly towards year end
Net investment in the quarter was MNOK 3 mainly related to replacement of equipment.
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 at considerable level also in Q3 and there are a number of new contracts being tendered both within maintenance operations and new build developments.
There were no major awards during the quarter. Total order intake of new contracts was MNOK 35 mainly related to product (Benarx) orders.
The current estimated order backlog (including frameagreements and options) is BNOK 10.7. The estimate reflects current and near term expected activity level including latest new wins and losses
At the end of Q3 2016 Beerenberg had 1392 employees, down 60 from last quarter.
During the 3rd quarter of 2016 Beerenberg recorded 3 incidents compared to 5 corresponding period last year.
Total recordable incident frequency (TRIF) was 2,3 measured on last twelve months basis (LTM), compared to 2,8 YTD at the end of 3rd quarter 2015.
The service segment reports a drop in revenue of 8% q-oq and 21 % for the first nine months of the year. The EBITDA was MNOK 46 in Q3 compared to MNOK 48 in Q3 2015. Included in the EBITDA for Q3 16 was a provision for restructuring of MNOK 10.
The Benarx division (Prefabricated insulation topside and subsea) reports 27% lower revenue in the first nine months of 2016 compared to same period in 2015. In the third quarter the revenue was 54 % down from Q3 2015. The EBITDA margin in Q3 was 12,5 % compared to 17,6% Q3 2015. The margin erosionis mainly related to drop involumes.

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. As of the end of Q3 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 %.
The estimates 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 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.
No events have occurred after the reporting date that are of significant impact when considering the financial position or result in the Group as of 30.09.2016.
