(appended to the final terms)

The global oil and gas industry has faced very significant challenges in the past few years particularly with respect to the pandemic and the Ukraine war. In fact, as depicted in the chart below, the oil price slumped to multi-year lows in 2020 with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which severely dented demand for oil as various economies around the globe were subject to restrictive measures including lockdowns. Subsequently the price of oil recovered as economies reopened and began their journey towards normality and by the end of 2021, oil prices had exceeded the USD 80 level on the back of the pent-up demand.

Brent Oil January 2019 to June 2023
Source: Refinitiv Eikon
Oil prices surged at the beginning of 2022 on the back of the uncertainty created by the start of Russia's war on Ukraine with Brent Oil reaching around the USD140 level for the first time since 2008. Subsequently, oil prices somewhat eased as supply concerns abated in line with western governments' efforts to seek alternative sources whilst the markets adjusted to the grim reality in Ukraine. Although the oil price somewhat normalised by the end of 2022, the spike in the early part of last year led to record profits and cash flows for the International Energy Companies ("IECs") which in turn spurred further investment.

Moreover, investment in upstream activities is expected to increase and reach their highest levels since 2015.1 Such investments are supported by the need to substitute the oil and gas that was previously sourced from Russia2 which is now embargoed through the various sanctions imposed namely by the United States and the European Union. Furthermore, overall demand for oil and gas products across the globe is expected to continue rising (up until 2028 which is the last year of IEA's forecast period), particularly supported by demand across emerging economies. 3 Thus, the global oil and gas industry needs to build-up capacity to ensure that it can adequately serve the demand over the long-term given the long lead time of such projects.
Nonetheless, pitfalls and uncertainties still prevail in this intrinsically volatile industry. One of the main risks relates to the prevailing macro-economic environment whereby the risk of recession is on the increase as various central banks tighten their respective monetary policy (mostly by raising rates) in an attempt to control inflation. In fact, oil prices in 2023 have drifted back towards the USD70 level. On the other hand, earlier this month, Saudi Arabia announced its intention to reduce the country's oil output by 1 million barrels per day with effect from July over and above the output cuts related to the agreement between OPEC+ countries which has been extended up until the end of 2024. Nonetheless, these actions have until now had limited effect on the oil price.
Looking even further into the future, the main challenge of the oil and gas industry is the transition to cleaner energy. Nonetheless, whilst the IECs are investing in this area, oil and gas will remain an important energy source for years to come as the infrastructure required to shift dependency on cleaner energy sources requires significant time and substantial amounts of investment. Moreover, low-carbon producing infrastructure doesn't necessarily have sustainable supply chains and therefore emissions and carbon intensity of building the required infrastructure for cleaner energy must be considered apart from cost considerations as prices for the required materials is rising in the prevailing inflationary environment.4

This sub-segment within ILSS includes the operations of Malta, Cyprus, Morocco and Egypt.
In recent years, the Malta base continued to provide shore base services for the development of offshore Libya projects. Given the ongoing political and hostile environment in Libya, management is confident that the Company will remain the shore base for all oil and gas operations offshore Libya. This is because the Company's base in Malta is seen as a reliable and safe haven for the storage and mobilisation of oil field equipment employed by companies engaged in offshore Libya projects.
Mellitah Oil & Gas B.V. (Libyan Branch) ("MOG"), which is a joint venture between the Libyan National Oil Corporation and Eni North Africa B.V., plans to drill 31 offshore development walls. MedservRegis will be acting as the logistics base for the development of new gas offshore structures for MOG. While technical design is being concluded, drilling will commence by the first half of 2024. In the meantime, ahead of the drilling campaign, oil field equipment and tubulars have already started being received at the Malta base. Furthermore, MOG issued a number of tenders in relation to this large project, which stipulate that Malta will be the base from which such operations need to be carried out.
In March 2020, the Company signed a long-term agreement with Air Liquide Oil & Gas Services Ltd to install and operate a compressed gases filling plant to provide diving and welding gases to the offshore industry in the Mediterranean basin. After obtaining necessary permits, the facility was installed at MedservRegis' base at the Malta Freeport and operations commenced in Q4 2020. Revenue from this agreement in FY2022 was in the region of €0.8 million, which is expected to be the same level achieved in FY2023. Management expects the contribution from this project to improve further once drilling offshore Libya resumes.
Also in 2020, the Company was awarded a contract by Eni to provide logistics marine base and associated services for its oil and gas activities taking place offshore Libya. The term of the contract is three years from 1 January 2021 with the option for Eni to extend for a further year. Moreover, MedservRegis was also awarded a contract by OMV AG (a multinational integrated oil and gas company headquartered in Vienna with operational activities in the onshore Murzuk and Sirte basin of Libya) to provide international freight forwarding services including the transportation of goods and drilling related equipment from global sites to specified locations in Libya through the facilities that MedservRegis has at the Malta Freeport. The framework agreement entered into force on 30 October 2020 and is for a duration of three years with the option to extend for a further two years.
During 2022, MedOps secured itself as a base for a new client which is a chemical manufacturing company that supplies several grades of bitumen, which will use the Malta shore base for transhipment of bitumen with the company's own fleet of tank-containers. MedOps will provide storage and berthing facilities under this

agreement, as well as unloading and storage services for the client's bitumen stocks. The contract is for a period of five years, and is expected to result in annual revenues of €1.5 million.
Eni and TotalEnergies have started drilling again in Block 6. Eni and TotalEnergies are collaborating together on this project with Eni, which holds a participating interest of 50% acting as the operator while TotalEnergies has the remaining 50%. The well was spudded at the beginning of May 2022 and was completed by the end of August 2022. Eni followed this with an additional second well (known as Zeus-1) which activity lasted until December 2022, with demobilisation concluded during the month of January 2023. This contract, set to expire during June 2023, has been renewed for a further 36-month period, with possible extensions of two one-year extensions.
The drilling campaign of ExxonMobil in Block 10 offshore Cyprus started in September 2021, while the drilling was completed by June 2022. The company has subsequently entered into appraisal phase of one of the wells off the coast of Cyprus, in order to assess the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the reservoir and the potentials for development and commercialisation of the discovery. Medserv Cyprus signed a new 3-year contract with ExxonMobil in July 2022, whereby the Cypriot subsidiary will provide storage and related services. ExxonMobil and its partner, QatarEnergy, have exploration rights to blocks 5 and 10 in Cyprus.
In January 2023, Medserv Cyprus signed a new contract with Chevron Cyprus Limited for the provision of operational base support services from the Limassol base with the rig commencing activity in April 2023, which is expected to extend until August 2023, after which, there will be demobilisation.
The contract with IEOC Production B.V. ("IEOC") which commenced in January 2018 and which has been subject to a number of extensions and revisions, is set to expire in December 2024. This contract is for the provision of manpower and lifting equipment to support IEOC's offshore drilling within IEOC's shore base.
The Company secured two contracts (each having a term of 3 years and extendable by a further year) with BP Egypt in 2021 – the first one was awarded in January 2021 whilst the second contract was awarded in May 2021. Similar to the IEOC contract, the BP Egypt contract provides for fixed monthly rates for the provision of equipment and manpower.
Under the scope of the first contract with BP Egypt, the Company performs Integrated Materials Management and Warehousing Services for BP Egypt in Idku. The second contract, which covers an Integrated Facility Management of the West Nile Delta Site in Idku, namely consists of the provision of the management, mobilisation and delivery of all hard and soft facilities management, maintenance and catering services.

In January 2023, Medserv International Limited was awarded a nine-month contract (with possible extensions) by a major IEC in relation to a short drilling campaign offshore Morocco, which is expected to last until October 2023. This new contract does not require any material capital expenditure since the company will be utilising the facilities of local partners in the delivery of this project.
This segment includes the operations of Duqm, Sohar, UAE and Iraq and forms the OCTG segment.
Oman OCTG volumes are on the increase as Petroleum Development Oman ("PDO") intensifies its drilling program from 600 wells drilled annually to over 800 wells to be drilled starting in August 2023 and reach 1,000 wells drilled annually in 2025/2026. As this schedule increases in volume coupled with the current international disruption in the shipping lines calling at Duqm Port, Sumitomo Corporation Middle East ("Sumitomo") are occasionally using Sohar yard for OCTG goods. Consequently, in January 2022, METS Sohar signed a five-year agreement with Sumitomo to provide import product management and storage facilities for 30,000 metric tonnes of OCTG.
During February 2022, Marubeni was awarded a three-year tubing supply contract with Oman Oil in the North. Average materials will be 15,000 metric tonnes per year, and Marubeni used METS Sohar for the OCTG incoming management until customer call-off. The amount of OCTG handling at Duqm in FY2022 is expected to be a record high for the company, while that for FY2023 is expected to be aligned to historic averages.
As a result of these increasing volumes, in April 2023 METS Duqm has signed an additional site of 25,060 sqm in the Port of Duqm for a period of five years renewable for a further period of five years.
In September 2020, METS UAE secured a contract with a global manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes in Abu Dhabi for the supply of tubular handling, equipment, yard and inspection services. The existing contract is for a period of 3 years starting 1 October 2020 until 30 September 2023 and has been recently renewed till 31 December 2025 through a new contract which will reflect inflationary revisions to its existing rates.
In November 2022, METS UAE managed to obtain another machine shop licence which is expected to widen METS UAE's service offering of the machine shop, which can now handle both VAM and Tenaris threaded connections. Furthermore, in December 2022, the company purchased a new CNC machine that will increase the repairing capacity at the Hamriyah workshop following its commissioning (expected in August 2023).

Late in 2021, METS Dubai was awarded a three-year contract for the provision of machining services on a call out basis. Furthermore, during the second half of 2022, METS UAE, jointly with Petrasco, was awarded a 3 year freight forwarding contract by Dubai Petroleum.
For 2023, the company is expected to participate in additional tenders which aim to continue to improve on the margins and volumes of METS UAE.
In 2022, the Iraqi operations of the METS division reported improvements in its revenue and EBITDA of 49% and 81% respectively over FY2021. This improvement results from the increase in machine shop orders as well as higher handling and storage income when compared to FY2021, particularly as the company benefitted from the VAM licence that it has.
During FY2022, the company managed to diversify its client base, which was originally focused primarily on BECL (previously BP Iraq). The contract with BCEL has been renewed in November 2022 for a period of five years – the first of its kind in terms of tenure offered by BCEL to its contractors, which indicate the level of trust that BCEL has in the METS company. The scope of the contract is for the provision of machine shop services, although the extent has also increased upon renewal.
Furthermore, in March 2023, the company participated in a second tender, which was awarded thereto, of BECL for the provision of reclamation and repair of tubing services, which will also be for a term of 5 years.
In addition, METS Iraq has also been awarded a contract by Kuwait Energy Basra Limited (KEBL) which is the operator of Block-9 contract area in the Basra Governate in South Iraq. Such contract entails the provision of inspection and machine shop services for a period of three years.
The Sub-Saharan & East Africa region is represented primarily through the companies operating in Mozambique and Uganda.
Business in Angola is conducted through Regis Management Services Ltd which is based in Mauritius. The main clients of Regis Management Services are Sonangol Integrated Logistics Services Lda ("SONILS") and Angola Environmental Servicos Lda ("AES") with which Regis Management Services has yearly contracts.
Regis Management Services acts as a 'one stop solution' with an emphasis on global procurement and logistics. It procures a wide range of products and services for its clients including personal protection equipment, valves, piping, heavy machinery, computer equipment and pre-engineered steel structures. The company also

contracts staff to its clients and provides technical services. In addition, the company provides comprehensive procurement services from sourcing to delivery as per client requirements.
The economic activity in Angola started to recover in 2022 with rising oil prices and the gradual loosening of output cuts implemented when demand for oil collapsed in 2020. Management anticipates the level of business achieved in FY2022 will be retained in FY2023.
The results of Regis Mozambique were characterised by the standstill in the oil and gas industry that started in the second half of 2022 and remains in place. Oil and gas activity in this African region is expected to resume towards the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.
Regis Uganda Limited ("RUL") provides integrated logistics services as well as all lifting and materials handling in Uganda. The company has a fleet of cranes and forklifts. The Group has invested heavily in Uganda and have a dedicated service base in Kampala, procuring its own fleet and local workforce.
2022 was a year where the company experienced a significant uptick in revenue-generating activities, which included a long-term contract with Vallourec providing OCTG services and activities centred around well development and infrastructure construction in Bullisa. In addition, RUL managed to secure other contracts which spun over to 2023, including:
The nearshore drilling campaign conducted by Suriname's national oil company was successfully completed during 2019. Since then, there were limited services provided by the Group in this region. The Group's business development team continues to actively pursue business opportunities in the region with particular focus on Guyana and Trinidad.

The Group's reach and involvement has extended across a number of geographical areas over the years. The Group has always enjoyed a good relationship with the larger oil and gas companies, including Eni, ExxonMobil, BP and TotalEnergies.
Furthermore, key clients in the OCTG segment also include Sumitomo and Tenaris. METS UAE holds licences from both Vallourec and Tenaris thereby enabling to handle both VAM and Tenaris threading connections.
While the MedservRegis Group has been invited to participate in international tenders by a number of these companies, the Group is also being asked to collaborate with other logistics companies, including the likes of Petrasco, through joint ventures. Such joint ventures allow the Group to partner with established connected partners of drilling companies which lack management systems and know-how to cater for an offshore drilling project, such as freight forwarding companies, port operators, etc. Such companies would have the facilities available (such as warehousing, berthing facilities, yards, equipment and human resources) which can be used by the Group to support an offshore project. As such, these partners would provide the physical resources, while the MedservRegis Group provides the expertise and its management systems.

*Note: The statement of financial position for the year ending 31 December 2021 and 2022 have been produced taking into account the combination of the Medserv Group and the Regis Group, while the assets listed for FY2020 are of Medserv plc only.
The Group's Property, Plant and Equipment ("PPE"), which includes those assets used in the operations of the Group and the Right of Use Assets, which relate to the recognition of the leases of the Group's bases, namely in Malta, Cyprus, Oman, UAE and Iraq in line with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS 16 – Leases) did not materially change between the end of FY2021 and FY2022, with the marginal declinesrelating primarily to depreciation charges or impairment losses incurred during the year.
The Intangible Assets & Goodwill were first recognised in FY2016 upon the acquisition and consolidation of the METS Group (OCTG segment). The intangible assets acquired in FY2016 consist mainly of acquired customer relationships and were being amortised over a period of ten years. The remaining intangible assets were being amortised over their useful life. Following the completion of the transaction with Regis, the intangible assets and goodwill more than doubled, primarily due to the recognition of goodwill and intangible assets attributable to the ILSS customer contracts, additional value on customer relationships within the OCTG segment over that recognised in FY2016, the synergies expected to be achieved from combining the

operations of both groups, with their skills and technical talent. An impairment assessment is carried out at least annually for the Goodwill and the Brands (comprising of trademarks, tradenames, and related assets) with an indefinite useful life, and whenever there is an indicator of impairment on all intangibles including the customer contacts acquired by the Group.
During FY2022, the Group impaired an amount equivalent to €2.1 million of the value of its intangible assets and goodwill, with the majority relating to customer contracts (€1.6 million). The impairment loss was mainly attributable to the Group's operations in Egypt and is the result of a number of factors acting in combination, namely the increase in the interest rates and the country risk premium leading to a significant increase in the discount rates used in carrying out the impairment assessments coupled with costs increases due to higher inflation and devaluation of the Egyptian pound against foreign currencies. This shortfall in Egypt has further triggered an impairment loss of €0.4 million and €0.2 million for the goodwill and the "Medserv" brand, respectively. The amortisation of the customer contracts during 2022 amounted to €2.1 million.

The share for share transaction with Regis Holdings Limited concluded on 25 June 2021 was considered a reverse acquisition which necessitated the consolidation of Medserv plc into Regis Holdings Limited, as the latter was considered the accounting acquirer in the transaction. As such, the audited financial statements covering FY2021 represented a continuation of Regis Holding Limited's financial statements (which also included a number of business activities which have since been discontinued and do not form part of the merged group). As a result, the income statement for FY2021 was based on a 12-month period of Regis Holdings Limited coupled with only a six-month contribution from Medserv plc (from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021). Therefore, the figures for FY2021 are not comparable to the performance of Medserv plc in FY2020 and to the MedservRegis plc results for FY2022.

A business overview of the Group has been extensively covered in section 2 of this report. The result of the contract awards mentioned therein make up the basis for the results achieved in FY2022 and the forecasts for FY2023.
The Group's total revenues in FY2022 reached €66.9 million, reflecting the improved performance at the Cypriot subsidiary, which increased its contribution towards revenue by 19 percentage points, or €16.7 million in absolute terms in view of the additional scope of works and contracts secured by the company during the year.

The METS subsidiaries were also significant contributors to the Group's revenue, which increased to €23.4 million in FY2022. In terms of reportable segments (as depicted in the below table), 'Integrated Logistics Support Services' ("ILSS") and 'Oil Country Tubular Goods' ("OCTG") were the main contributors in FY2022, which is similar to that for FY2021. The Group reported how in ILSS, it provided services to four international energy companies in FY2022, when compared to a maximum of two in previous years.

| FY2021 | Revenue | 20,233 | 8,177 | 224 | 1,290 | 30,091 |
| EBITDA | 3,029 | 2,763 | 224 | (658) | 5,359 | |
| FY2022 | Revenue | 42,990 | 23,425 | 524 | - | 66,939 |

| EBITDA | 5,720 | 8,263 | 460 | - | 14,443 |
The cost of sales for FY2022 were higher in view of the combination of higher cost base as the Group was not immune to inflationary costs increases, as well as lower-margin contracts, resulting in a gross profit margin of 35% which is 8 percentage points lower than the gross profit margin generated in FY2021. Administrative expenses increased to €12.3 million, reflecting increases in staff complement due to growing pipeline, which however, for reasons mentioned in the introductory part of this section in relation to the reverse acquisition, is not comparable directly with FY2021.
EBITDA stood at €11.4 million for FY2022.

| EBITDA | 5,566 | 5,359 | 11,404 |
| Depreciation | (7,974) | (4,382) | (7,627) |

| Results from operating activities | (5,550) | (7,397) | (941) |
The financial performance in FY2022 was impacted by a depreciation charge of €7.6 million. Furthermore, amortisation of intangible assets of the Group came in at €2.1 million.
Impairments related to PPE were in relation to the PPE at MedOps, Regis Mozambique and Regis Uganda and amounted to €1 million in FY2022 (FY2021: €5.3 million). These impairments are net of an impairment reversal

of €0.5 million following the disposal of the Group's remaining vessel (MV Regis Kaskazi) during FY2022. Impairments to the intangible asset class were €2.1 million for the year under review and were primarily in relation to the customer contracts portion (€1.6 million).
The Group generated a net of €1 million in other income comprising mainly exchange differences arising from operating activities less the reduction in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Group holds a portfolio of equity shares, bonds and other securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss as these are held for trading purposes. These investments represent marketable and listed instruments which are highly liquid and the Group uses the market closing rates for the fair valuation of these instruments. The reduction in the fair value recognised in other income is the result of the declining global market prices during 2022.
The Group accounted for net finance income of €1 million as the foreign exchange gains and interest receivable from banks outweighed the interest charges and other finance costs of the Group. The foreign exchange gains came as a result of the strengthening of the USD against the Euro from 1.1332 as at 31 December 2021 to 1.0667 as at 31 December 2022. Furthermore, the Group sought to reduce its finance costs further during FY2022 by reducing the amount of the outstanding bonds on the Malta Stock Exchange (from €20 million to €13 million) and hedged its position against further increases in interest rates, which have materialised towards the end of FY2022 to date.
Overall, the Group registered a profit for the year of €0.5 million, compared to the net loss of €7.2 million in FY2021.
The updated FY2023 forecasts are based on the following key revenue drivers:

Overall, revenue for FY2023 is expected to be marginally lower than that of FY2022, at €63.8 million, with the below geographical split:


The scope of works in the Mediterranean region is expected to be pivotal for the revenue of FY2023, contributing to 44% thereof. The Middle East remains also an important geographical area for the Group, primarily represented by the METS group of companies and related principally to OCTG, as depicted in the chart below:

In FY2023, gross profit margin is expected to increase again, to 42% due to the improved recoverability on the revenue mix expected to be provided during FY2023. Administrative expenses are expected to be in the same region of those for FY2022, resulting in an improved forecasted EBITDA of €14.4 million and an EBITDA margin of 22.6% (FY2022: 17.0%).
After accounting for the depreciation and amortisation of PPE and Intangible assets respectively, the Group is expected to generate an operating profit of €5.3 million – a significant improvement over the operating loss

of €1 million of FY2022. As finance income cannot be ascertained (in terms of existence or level), the net finance costs are expected to be €4.3 million, resulting in a profit before tax of €1 million. After accounting for tax, profit for the year is expected to amount to €0.9 million, asthe situation in FY2023 is expected to continue to generally register an improvement over the performance achieved in FY2022.
Note on foreign currency risk: the Group is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of the Group companies. The functional currencies of the Group companies are primarily the Euro and US Dollar (USD). As such, any weakening of the USD against the EUR will impact negatively the performance of the Group, while any strengthening of the USD will have a positive impact on the results for the year.

Note: The FY2021 statement of cash flows comprises the first six months of operations of Regis Holdings Limited as well as a six-month contribution (July to December 2021) from MedservRegis plc.

The statement of cash flows for FY2021 was based on a 12-month period of Regis Holdings Limited coupled with only a six-month contribution from Medserv plc (from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021), thus the movement in cash flows in FY2021 are not comparable to those of Medserv plc in FY2020 as presented above. For this reason, the opening cash balance of FY2021 does not tally with the closing cash balance of FY2020.
The Group generated net cash from operating activities of €20 million, evidence of the improved operations of the Group during the said year.
During FY2022, the Group received proceeds in relation to related party loan repayments, which were originally extended by Regis (prior to the business combination transaction) to related parties, to the tune of €4.4 million. In addition, during the year the Group received €1.6 million from the disposal of PPE and a further €1.3 million from the sale of financial assets. Net of additions to PPE, capex and purchase of additional financial assets, the Group's net cash from investing activities amounted to €3.5 million.
In terms of financing activities, during FY2022 the Group made a payment of circa €7 million to pay part of the outstanding bonds listed on the Malta Stock Exchange, with the remaining balance of €13 million being refinanced during the year. Other financing activities in FY2022 included the servicing of the bonds' interest and bank borrowings' interest and principal repayments, as well as the additional drawdown of bank loans, which led to a net cash outflow position of €11.2 million.

Currency exchange fluctuations were at €2.7 million in FY2022, reducing the closing cash position of the Group to €18.7 million, net of bank overdraft facilities.
The cash flow forecasts for FY2023 anticipates net cash from operating activities to reach €16.3 million in FY2023, as the momentum of FY2022 is expected to improve also in FY2023 in terms of drilling and exploratory activities, which generate demand for both ILSS and OCTG services.
Investing activities for the year include further acquisition of PPE and the expansion of the machine shop business in UAE, as well as other investments in Uganda (related to the setting up of a base), heavy-lifting equipment in Cyprus and optimisation of the present storage facilities in Malta ahead of the upcoming drilling campaign.
The cash flow used in financing activities reflect interest payments on both the bonds and bank loans, partial repayment of the principal of bank borrowings and payment of lease liabilities for the year.

Note: The statement of financial position for the year ending 31 December 2021 has been produced taking into account the combination of the Medserv Group and the Regis Group.

The Group's total asset base expanded marginally to €151.7 million (from €150.8 million a year earlier). The non-current assets of the Group decreased by approximately €14 million, reflecting the impairments and depreciation charges as explained above, as well as the repayment of the related party loan. Meanwhile, current assets increased by approximately €18 million as the additional activity of the Group led to increased cash balances as well as a build-up in short-term trade debtors within the balance of receivables.
On the funding side, the non-current liabilities have declined by circa €5 million, which is primarily made up of the lower bond outstanding amount, partly net off through new bank borrowings, as may also be seen in the debt and cash structure below.
During FY2022, the Group repaid €7 million of the then-outstanding bonds, and by the end of the year was working on the refinancing of the remaining €13 million (which were subsequently listed on 7 January 2023). Total debt, including lease liabilities, stood at the same level of FY2021, as short-term borrowings also increased, in line with the Group's growing operational activities. When accounting for the €19.5 million cash balances at the end of FY2022, net debt for the year was nearly €53.4 million (FY2021: €60.3 million).

| Net Debt | 70,837 | 60,276 | 53,442 | 40,504 |

Similarly, current liabilities increased on the back of higher trade creditors from €4.4 million in FY2021 to €8.4 million by the end of FY2022 and are reflected in the statement of financial position together with other payables and employee benefits.
Equity was adversely affected by foreign exchange fluctuations, net of the increase in retained earnings reflecting the profit for the year, which contracted the balance for the end of the year to €60.4 million from €62.8 million a year earlier.
Total assets for FY2023 are expected to decline by 4% to €144.9 million. The change in the non-current assets is driven primarily by the depreciation and amortisation charges. As the Group's contracts continue to pick up, cash balances are expected to improve accordingly.
The funding structure is expected to remain in line with FY2022, albeit noticing a decline in total borrowings as the Group is expected to repay most of its short-term borrowings and some of the longer-term borrowings. Coupled with the substantial increase in cash balances, net debt is expected to be positively affected and will go down to €40.5 million from €53.4 million as at end of FY2022.
Equity is also expected to be positively impacted by the profit expected for the year excluding any foreign exchange movements which cannot be ascertained at this point in time.

The following set of ratios have been computed by Rizzo Farrugia & Co (Stockbrokers) Ltd using the figures extracted from annual reports and management information.
Note: where the ratios were non-computable because of a negative return or a negative result, the ratio has been recorded as 'n/a' or excluded from the list of ratios presented in view of negative returns in all years under review.
Since the FY2021 income statement comprise the twelve-month operations of Regis Holdings Limited as well as the six-month operations of Medserv plc, the profitability ratios of FY2021 are not fully comparable to the ratios of FY2020, which were compiled from the income statement of Medserv plc on a stand-alone basis.
The below is a set of ratios prepared to assist in measuring the Company's ability to generate profitable sales from its assets.

As the Group registered a better performance in FY2022, most of the profitability ratios improved. The Group had high charges of depreciation and amortisation and during FY2022, it also had significant impairment

charges, which are reflected in the ratios above. In fact, whilst EBITDA margin was positive, the operating profit margin was still negative once the depreciation, amortisation and impairments were deducted. In FY2022, the Group also recorded finance income higher than finance costs, which led to a marginal profit position, as reflected also in the ratios reported above.
For FY2023, the ratios are expected to further advance in line with the forecasted improvement in the Group's performance as explained in further detail in the sections above.
The below is a set of ratios prepared to assist in measuring the Company's ability to meet its short-term obligations.

The additional activity of the Group led to an increase in both trade receivables and cash balances, which boosted the liquidity ratios of the Group as can be seen from the figures reported above. The Group also is expected to further sustain its liquidity position and thus such ratios are anticipated to improve further in FY2023.

As operations picked up substantially in FY2022, the Group registered positive results which have affected its key solvency metrics accordingly. As discussed earlier, the Group refinanced its €20 million bond, after a partial repayment of €7 million during FY2022. The Group also increased its short-term borrowings in FY2022, which however is expected to decline yet again in FY2023, as the increased level of activity is expected to generate additional cashflows that may be applied to repay some of the Group's outstanding borrowings. This is reflected in the solvency ratios as seen above, whereby the Group reported a lower net debt to EBITDA from 12.73x in FY2020 to 4.69x in FY2022, which is expected to decline even further in FY2023 to 2.8x.
Since the company did not register a net profit in FY2020 and FY2021, the Earnings Per Share ratio cannot be computed. Similarly, the Group did not declare any dividends during the years under review and as such, the computation of the Dividend Cover ratio is not possible.

For FY2023, the Company is expected to return a profit, and the ratio computations for the said forward looking period are included in the table above.

The provision of specialised services in Cyprus during the drilling campaign in FY2022 increased revenue more than that anticipated in the FY2022 forecasts presented in the FAS published in November 2022 (the "2022 FAS"), albeit at low margins, thereby leading also to higher cost of sales than were originally forecast. In addition, the increased volumes at Duqm also led to higher revenues than forecast in the 2022 FAS. Administrative expenses in FY2022 were higher than originally anticipated, as a result of inflationary pressures and increased personnel costs. Depreciation charge was also higher in view of the increase in PPE, while interest income that was recorded in FY2022 was in relation to foreign exchange gains, which, by their nature, cannot be forecast. The effects of these variances led to variations in the results obtained in FY2022, accordingly.
The 2022 FAS included FY2023 projections in line with the requirements of the MFSA Listing Policies. The said projections did not include the Morocco contract that was announced in January this year. Furthermore, FY2023 was projected to include activity at Duqm based on the then-historical averages. However, following the record volume of incoming tonnages handled during FY2022 and the outlook in Oman, the forecasts for FY2023 have been adjusted to reflect the projected volumes accordingly. Management have also adjusted the forecast revenue for Angola, which has seen a recovery in FY2022 and is also picking up. Meanwhile, drilling activity offshore Cyprus necessitated a downward adjustment to the projections made in the 2022 FAS for this region. This, however, was largely offset by the pickup of activity in Malta and the improvements from the machine shops in UAE and Iraq.
The variance in the administrative expenses was necessary to reflect the levels experienced in FY2022, while the amortisation charge on the intangible assets has been reduced to reflect the impairments sustained in FY2022. These adjustments to the FY2023 forecasts led to an update of the results expected for the year.
