Group Overview

Highlights for Beerenberg (Beerenberg Holdco II AS consolidated) in the 2nd quarter 2015 was

  • Revenue of MNOK 632, in line with Q2 2014 $\bullet$ due to increase in activity on newbuild projects.
  • EBITDA MNOK 82 up MNOK 2 from 02 2014.
  • EBITDA margin was 13% compared to 12,9% $q$ -o-q

Income Statement

The activity level in 2nd quarter 2015 was in line with last year. The reduced activity level on maintenance and modification was offset by increased activity on new build projects.

The EBITDA was MNOK 82, up MNOK 2 from 2nd quarter last year mainly due to product mix.

The earnings before tax (EBT) was MNOK 43, up from a loss of MNOK 6 last year. In 2nd quarter 2014 Beerenberg refinanced its business and cost related to the previous loans where expensed.

Balance Sheet

Total assets was MNOK 1966 at the end of 2nd quarter with an equity ratio of 19,5%.

Changes in total assets are driven by higher working capital requirements on new build projects. The build up of working capital over the last 3 quarters is expected to stabilize at the current level. Beerenberg has not utilized its drawing facilities at the end of 2nd quarter. The overall trend towards tougher business climate is expected to require more working capital.

Net interest bearing debt was MNOK 983 compared to MNOK 1024 in 2nd quarter 2014. Most of Beerenberg debt is long term as a result of the issuing of a senior secured bond in 2nd quarter 2014.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations was MNOK 5 for the 2nd quarter of 2015. Further increase in working capital is the main reason.

Net investments were MNOK 4 of which the majority relates to equipment.

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 maintenance and modification contracts which has impacted the activity level. In the 2nd quarter a major customer initiated a rebid process. The outcome of this process is likely to be known 2nd half of 2015.

The activity on new build projects are increasing with high tender activity so far in 2015. A number of the tenders is expected to be decided in the 2nd half of 2015.

Total order intake of MNOK 106 in 2nd quarter 2015 (including uncommitted options and frame agreements)

Total order backlog of BNOK 6,6 includes uncommitted options and frame agreement. The estimated backlog is company's best estimate based on historical utilization and has been adjusted for the lower activity level on offshore work.

HSEQ

At the end of Q2 2015 Beerenberg had 1587 employees, a slight reduction from last quarter.

During the 2nd quarter 2015 Beerenberg recorded 1 incident compared to 6 same period last year.

Total recordable incident frequency (TRIF) was 2,3 measured on last twelve months basis (LTM). 2nd quarter 2015 ended at 1,7 YTD compared to 7,5 YTD at the end of 2nd quarter 2014.

Business Segments

From December 2014 Beerenberg has changed its organization to optimize and focus its business. As a consequence it has merged the former Cold Work Concepts and Maintenance and modification division into one segment, Services. The Benarx division consists of advanced insulation topside and subsea.

Services

The Services segment reports an increased revenue g-o-g from MNOK 573 to MNOK 603 for the 2nd quarter 2015. The increase in revenue relates to new build projects partially offset by reduction in activity in maintenance and modification. EBITDA was MNOK 58, down from MNOK 75 in 2nd quarter 2014. The reduction in margin relate to product mix and lower margin on maintenance and modification work.

Benarx

The Benarx division (Prefabricated insulation topside and subsea) continues to grow. Revenue was MNOK 129, a qo-g growth of 90 %. EBITDA and EBITDA margin in the quarter was MNOK 24 (18,8 %) compared to MNOK 5 (7,5 %) in 2nd quarter 2014.
