CEO STATEMENT

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact the global offshore industry and Viking Supply Ships during the fourth quarter. Revenue for the fourth quarter was MSEK 56 (156), EBITDA was MSEK -32 (63), and the net result was MSEK -45 (55). Year-to-date, revenue was MSEK 286 (504), while EBITDA was MSEK -101 (114), and the net result was MSEK -191, down from MSEK 52 in 2019.

Significant lower activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic combined with general lower seasonal activity has had a significant negative effect on the Groups earnings both in the fourth quarter and in 2020 as a whole.

Consequently, both rates and utilization decreased for the vessels operating in the North Sea spot market during the fourth quarter. As the short term market outlook is highly uncertain, combined with the preparation for manning up the two new PSVs, the Group decided to put Loke Viking in warm lay-up towards the end of the quarter. The Group currently has 2 of 4 AHTS vessels in operation.

Shortly after the quarter, the Group took delivery of the first of two iceclassed PSVs under construction at Remontowa Shipyard in Poland. The vessels, which are owned in partnership with Borealis Maritime, are with their dual-fuel and hybrid capabilities among the most environmentally friendly PSVs in the global market. The Group is certain that the vessels will be a successful addition to the global fleet of high specification and environmentally friendly PSVs. Coey Viking was delivered from the yard in mid-January and was fixed on a term contract with Wintershall prior to delivery. The vessel is expected to commence the contract upon arrival in the North Sea during February. The second vessel, named Cooper Viking, will be delivered from the yard during March.

OUTLOOK

During and shortly after the fourth quarter, several vaccine candidates for COVID-19 have been approved around the world. This has brought some optimism that the world may revert to a more normalized situation. However the global economy will be significantly impacted throughout at least the first half of the year.

As a result of increased optimism, the oil price has shown clear signs of improvement during the fourth quarter and is currently around USD 55-60 per barrel. At this point it is, however, challenging to predict the pace and strength of a general market recovery and for the OSV industry in particular. Although the Group has a sound financial position due to a clean balance sheet with no interest-bearing debt, it should be noted that the Group has had a negative cash flow throughout 2020 and if the measures to preserve cash are not sufficient, there is a risk that the company will need to take further measures to strengthen its liquidity during 2021.

The rig-count in the North Sea region is expected to see a modest increase throughout 2021, but with the uncertain pandemic development it is difficult to predict to which degree this will result in increased rates and utilization.

The Group will continue to focus on obtaining long term contracts for its vessels and will focus on its unique competence within the harsh environment and arctic markets to navigate through the downturn. By the end of the quarter, the Group employed a new CCO with extensive track record from these regions. This strategic hire will further strengthen our focus and strategic ambitions for the Arctic region.

ICE-CLASSED ANCHOR HANDLING TUG SUPPLY VESSELS (AHTS)

Total AHTS revenue was MSEK 14 (115) in Q4 and EBITDA was MSEK -31 (64).

During Q4, three vessels have been operating in the North Sea spot market, with one vessel being laid up during the quarter. Towards the end of the quarter, Loke Viking was put in warm lay-up, leaving two active vessels to operate in the North Sea throughout the winter.

The activity within the segment has been significantly impacted by the reduced oil price and global pandemic situation during 2020. The income has remained at unsatisfactory levels throughout the quarter.

ICE MANAGEMENT, SERVICES AND SHIP MANAGEMENT

Total Ice Management, Services and Ship Management revenue was MSEK 42 (41) in Q4. Total EBITDA was MSEK -1 (-1).

The segment is responsible for new build supervision of the two PSVs which the Group has part-ownership in. The construction is going according to schedule and the first vessel was delivered from the yard shortly after the end of the quarter. The Group has taken over the commercial and operational management of the vessel, while at the same time continuing to supervise the construction of the second vessel which is assumed to be delivered in March.

The other operations within the Ice Management, Services and Ship Management segment proceeded as planned throughout the quarter.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For information about the previously owned ordinary AHTS vessel Odin Viking, see note 5, "Discontinued operation and assets held for sale".

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

At the end of the year, the Group's equity amounted to MSEK 1,608. The equity decreased during the year by net MSEK 426 due to the loss for the period of MSEK 191 and a negative change in the translation reserve of MSEK 235 attributable to currency differences on net investments in subsidiaries. Further information can be found in section "Changes in the Group´s shareholders´ equity" on page 10.

At the beginning of the year the total cash holdings was MSEK 242. The cash-flow for the full year was negative by MSEK 118, including exchange rate differences. The total cash holdings at the end of the year was MSEK 124.

The gross investments during the year amounted to MSEK 28 (84), and consisted of capitalized docking expenses and investments in the two PSV's under construction in Poland.

The Annual General Meeting, which was held on April 1, 2020, resolved that no dividend would be distributed for the fiscal year 2019.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

In order for the Group to have sufficient liquidity and equity to get through the challenging market situation, the Group has during the three last years completed comprehensive restructuring programs, including cost reducing efforts which includes lay-up of vessels, bond delisting, renegotiation and subsequent repayment of existing loan facilities and charter agreements, new share issues and sale of vessels. These measures, and the sale of vessels carried out during 2018 and 2019, have significantly improved the Group´s financial position, both by reducing outstanding debts to zero and improved liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant adverse effect on the markets in which the Group operates. This has negatively impacted the Group's earnings and the Group has had a negative cash flow throughout 2020. If the measures to preserve cash are not sufficient, or if the market downturn is prolonged, there is a risk that the company will need to take further measures to strengthen its liquidity during 2021.

The Group continues to operate in highly competitive markets, and the operation is exposed to various operational and financial risks. Viking Supply Ships maintains a positive long-term outlook for the offshore industry and is of the opinion that there will be increasing activity in the arctic and subarctic regions during the next few years. Based on the result expectations, the Group´s strong financial situation, the current risks and a continued belief in securing contracts within the core market segment, the Board of Directors and Management have concluded that both the company and the Group will be able to continue as going concern at least until 31 December 2021. This conclusion is based on Management's assessment of the current outlook for 2021 and the uncertainties and risks described in this report.

2. REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

1) The revenues are entirely attributable to the Ice-classed AHTS segment.

2) The revenues are attributable to the Ice Management, Services and Ship Management segments.

3) The revenues are mainly attributable to the Ship Management segment.

Time charter revenues

Time charter means that the ship owner grants the rights of disposal of the vessel to a charterer for a certain period and within certain agreed frameworks. The scope of the time charter is determined by the contract entered into and may include everything from short periods such as occasional days up to long term contracts that run for several years. Depending on the type of vessel, the agreement also determines if it is goods to be transported, towing or anchor handling to be carried out, as well as in which parts of the world the vessel is to operate. The charterer pays the time charter hire to the ship owner, which is a rental fee to be paid per a certain time unit. The decisive factor is what has been agreed upon, but a usual occurrence is per calendar month and that payment must be made in advance, or per day for shorter contract periods. The time charter parties mean that the Group negotiates a fixed day rate for the vessels, commonly for an unspecified period. Normally, the time period is defined to include a range that specifies the minimum and maximum number of days, which is ultimately determined by the charterer based on the actual time spent in having the work done. The above is also applicable to the cases where RoV equipment is rented out, see below.

ROV charter revenues

In some cases of long-term time charter contracts, the vessels may need to be adapted to the needs of the charters, e.g. equipped for towing or supplemented with ROV (Remote Operated Underwater Vehicle). The costs of such adaptations, or the hiring of supplementary equipment, are normally charters expenses. Otherwise, revenue recognition of leased ROV equipment takes place on the same principles as time charter revenue, as described above.

Mobilisation/demobilisation fees

Terms for mobilization/demobilization fees are included in the time charter party and mean that the vessel must be adapted to charters needs, but may also include that the ship shall be delivered in a special port near the vessels operations areas. The compensation for these adaptations and or delivery of the vessels often consists of a fixed lump sum. Similarly, the demobilization fee is recognized when the vessel is again in "home port" and has been restored from the current charter assignment.

Reinvoiced expenses

It is common for shipping companies to take care of operations, maintenance, HSEQ work and staffing on behalf of other shipping companies. It can be compared to property management. It is a wide range of options within ship management, from where the manager runs the entire operation of the vessel including staffing where the seamen are employed by the manager, to individual parts of the above mentioned areas or where only key personnel are provided by the manager. The Group has contract for the operation, maintenance and staffing of the Swedish Maritime Administration's five icebreakers. This means that personnel costs and operating costs for the vessels including bunker oil, lubricating oil, repairs and maintenance of the vessels, classification costs, etc., are invoiced at cost to the client.

3. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets are recognized at cost or after deductions for accumulated depreciation according to plan and possible impairment. Straight-line amortization according to plan is applied.

Impairment test

At each reporting date the accounts are assessed whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, estimates of the asset's recoverable amount are done. The recoverable amount is the highest of the fair market value of the asset, less cost to sell, and the net present value (NPV) of future estimated cash flow from the employment of the asset ("value in use").

The operations are conducted with advanced AHTS vessels; Loke Viking, Njord Viking, Magne Viking and Brage Viking, which all hold high ice-class and extensive possibilities to operate in various conditions. These four are a group of sister-vessels delivered from the construction shipyard between June 2010 and January 2012, but with some differences in equipment level. The market experience from the previous years, and the current market situation, prove that the vessels with occasional exceptions can all be used for the same kind of operations and are thus deemed interchangeable. Which vessel to be nominated for a certain contract is in principle determined by factors such as availability, geographic position relative to operation area and time for crew-change. Each vessel generates its own cash streams, but the company's customers could still have used another vessel from the actual fleet type. Based on this the Management has deemed it appropriate to consider the group of iceclassed AHTS vessels seen as a separate cash generating unit. As a result, impairment tests are performed on a portfolio level rather than on individual vessels. If a change in the customers requirements occurs that affects the earnings capacity of individual vessels in relation to the sister vessels, this assessment could be reconsidered.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation and in the assessment of owned vessels, for 2020 are as follows:

The cash flows are based on current tonnage.
Estimates of fixture rates, utilization and contract coverage as well as estimated residual values are based on Management's extensive experience and knowledge of the market.
Operating expenses and dry dock costs are estimated based on Management's experience and knowledge of the market as well as plans and initiatives outlined in the operating budgets.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to discount the forecasted cash flows was 8.4% (2019: 9.0%). The pre- and post-tax discount factor is the same due to tonnage taxation.

As indication of fair market value, valuations of owned vessels are obtained from independent shipbrokers on a quarterly basis.

Conclusion Impairment test AHTS vessels with ice-class in 2020

In Q4 2020 the Management evaluated the AHTS fleet and concluded that the AHTS vessels are not to be impaired. At balance-day the recoverable amount has been calculated and compared to the book value of MSEK 1,458. The conclusion is that the calculation of value-in-use of MSEK 1,528 is considered being the recoverable amount. The fair value for the fleet, less cost to sell, based on an assessment of average external vessel valuations from two independent shipbrokers, amounts to MSEK 1,345 (ranging from MSEK 1,187 to

MSEK 1,458). Due to the global pandemic situation, there is currently an increased uncertainty surrounding the future market development.

8. OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RISK

The Group operates in highly competitive markets and is exposed to various operational and financial risk factors. The financial risk is mainly related to liquidity risk, funding risk and currency risk. The Group works actively to identify, assess and manage these risks.

The main operational risk factors relate to the overall macroeconomic market conditions, degree of competition, flow of goods in prioritized market segments and finally the overall balance of supply and demand of vessels, affecting rates and profit margins. The objective of the overall risk management policy of the Group is to ensure a balanced risk and return relationship.

The foreign exchange risk is primarily reduced by matching the exposure to revenues in various currencies with costs in the corresponding currency. In the same manner, assets in a certain currency are primarily matched with liabilities in the same currency.
