REVENUE

Group Overview

Highlights for Beerenberg (Beerenberg Holdco II AS consolidated) in the 1st quarter 2015 was

  • Revenue of MNOK 560
  • EBITDA MNOK 62
  • EBITDA margin was 11,1%

Income Statement

Revenue was MNOK 560 in the 1st quarter, up 8 % from MNOK 518 in the 1st quarter 2014. The activity level in Beerenberg has been stable as increased activity on new build projects has offset the drop in activity in maintenance and modification work.

With an EBITDA of MNOK 62, the EBITDA margin was 11,1 %, down from 12,2 % in 1st quarter last year. Lower margin on maintenance and modification projects partly due to transfer of business from offshore to onshore and loss related to a bankruptcy of a partner explains most of the drop in margin.

The earnings before tax (EBT) was MNOK 27 in the 1st quarter 2015 compared to MNOK 21 for the same period in 2014.

Balance Sheet

Total assets was MNOK 1913 at the end of 1st quarter with an equity ratio of 18, 3%. Changes in total assets are driven by higher working capital requirements on new build projects. The overall trend towards tougher business climate is likely to tie up more working capital.

Net interest bearing debt was MNOK 965. 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 negative MNOK 1 for the first quarter of 2015 due to an increased working capital. Net investments were MNOK 8 of which the majority relates to a new office building.

Order Backlog & Market

The market outlook for Beerenberg remains mixed. The drop in oil-price has re-enforced a number of savings initiatives related to maintenance and modification contracts which has impacted the activity level.

The activity on new build projects are increasing with high tender activity in the 1st quarter of 2015.

Total order intake of MNOK 81 in 1th quarter 2015 (including uncommitted options and frame agreements)

Total order backlog of BNOK 7 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 Q1 2015 Beerenberg had 1600 employees, a reduction of 49 from year end 2014.

In first quarter 2015 Beerenberg recorded 3 incidents compared to 7 same period last year. None of the incidents were according to standard rules and regulations (PTIL/NAV) defined as potentially critical.

Total recordable incident frequency (TRIF) was 3,2 measured on last twelve months basis (LTM). 1st quarter 2015 ended at 2,6 compared to 8,2 1st 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 which consists of advanced insulation topside and subsea remains unchanged.

Services

The Services segment reports an increased revenue q-o-q from MNOK 480 to MNOK 524 for the 1st quarter 2015. The increase in revenue relates to new build projects while there has been a reduction in activity in maintenance and modification. EBITDA was MNOK 44 in 1st quarter, down from MNOK 60 in 1st quarter 2014. Lower margins on maintenance and modification contracts partly due to transfer of business from offshore to onshore in addition to a loss related to a bankruptcy of a partner explains the reduction in earnings.

Benarx

The Benarx division (Prefabricated insulation topside and subsea) continues to grow. Revenue was MNOK 96, a q-og growth of 85 %.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin in the quarter was MNOK 18 $(18,6\%)$ compared to MNOK 3 (6,6%) in $1st$ quarter 2014.
