CEO STATEMENT

As previous quarters, the financial net result for the third quarter was negatively impacted by low oil price and the COVID-19 situation, which has had a significant adverse effect on the global economic activity and outlook. Revenues for the third quarter was MSEK 100 (159), EBITDA was MSEK 2 (67), and the net result was MSEK -14 (33). Year-to-date, revenue was MSEK 230 (348), while EBITDA was MSEK -69 (51), and the net result was MSEK -146, down from MSEK -3 in the corresponding period in 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to effectively hamper global economic activity and has throughout 2020 had an adverse effect on the global economy. Consequently, the oil companies have reduced their spending for 2020 and 2021 and the number of operating rigs has been reduced both in the North Sea and globally. Although activity in the third quarter improved compared to previous periods, this has still caused a significant negative effect on the Group's earnings.

The Group continues to focus on protecting its employees, both onand off-shore and is actively working together with regulatory bodies and ship-owners associations to ensure that the operations can continue with as little disruption as possible, and at the same time minimizing the risk for crew and personnel involved in the operations. Due to travel restrictions and protective measures such as quarantine, the operating expenses have been negatively impacted throughout the quarter.

The activity within the North Sea increased compared to the previous quarter. As a result, both rates and utilization increased for the vessels operating in the North Sea spot market. During the third quarter, Magne Viking has been operating on a medium-term contract in a harsh environment region, but following the completion of the drilling season, the vessel returned to the North Sea shortly after the end of the third quarter.

During the second quarter, the Group entered into a medium-term contract for Loke Viking with a major oil company in a harsh environment region. The contract was expected to commence in mid-November, with total duration being up till 165 days including options. Unfortunately, the client cancelled this contract prior to commencement.

OUTLOOK

The effect of the COVID-19 situation is likely to continue impacting the global OSV industry in the near and medium -term. A recovery within the industry is subject the global pandemic development, as well as the overall market sentiment within the offshore oil and gas industry. It is, however, expected that the rig activity in the North Sea region will show a slight improvement over the next few quarters, which in a normal situation would imply improved market conditions within the OSV segment compared to the level seen in the first half of 2020. With the recent escalation of a second wave of the pandemic, the situation and economic outlook are highly uncertain, and it is difficult to give an accurate outlook for the long-term development within the segment.

The Group has a sound financial position due to a clean balance sheet with no interest-bearing debt. The Group has also initiated cost reducing measures to preserve cash throughout the market downturn. Note that the company has had negative cash flow for the first nine months of 2020 and if the measures to preserve cash are not sufficient, there is a risk that the company will need to raise new equity during 2021. In the future, the Group will continue to focus on its unique competence within the harsh environment market to navigate through the downturn and maintains a clear ambition to secure term coverage for parts of the fleet. The Group is also prepared to layup additional vessels if the market conditions should deteriorate further.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER

ICE-CLASSED ANCHOR HANDLING TUG SUPPLY VESSELS (AHTS)

Total AHTS revenue was MSEK 56 (126) in Q3 and EBITDA was MSEK 4 (68).

During Q3, two vessels have been operating in the North Sea spot market, with one vessel being laid up during the quarter. Shortly after the end of the third quarter, Magne Viking retuned to the North Sea, following the completion of its medium-term contract with a major oil company in a harsh environment region.

The activity within the segment has been significantly impacted by the reduced oil price and global pandemic situation during 2020. Although the North Sea market has seen some improvement during the third quarter, the income has remained at unsatisfactory levels throughout the quarter.

In the second quarter the Group received termination of the management contract for Defender, which the Group has operated on behalf of its owner. The vessel was returned to its owner during the third quarter.

The segment is also 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 is scheduled to be delivered early next year. Once delivered, the Group will take on the Commercial and Operational management of the vessels.

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 quarter, the Group's equity amounted to MSEK 1,813. The equity decreased during the first nine months by net MSEK 221 due to the loss for the period of MSEK 146 and a negative change in the translation reserve of MSEK 75 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 11.

At the beginning of the year the total cash holdings was MSEK 242. The cash-flow for the nine-month period was negative by MSEK 90, including exchange rate differences of MSEK 11. The total cash holding at the end of the third quarter was MSEK 152.

The gross investments during the nine-month period amounted to MSEK 24 (52), 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

Q3

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 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 30 September 2021. This conclusion is based on Management's assessment of the current outlook for 2020/2021 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 fee

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

Reinvoiced expenses

Q3

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 Ice-classed AHTS vessels in 2020

In Q3 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 1,614. The conclusion is that the calculation of value-in-use of MSEK 1,687 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 three independent shipbrokers, amounts to MSEK 1,474 (ranging from MSEK 1,294 to MSEK 1,618). The Management will continue to closely monitor external developments, which in this context, with the prevailing uncertainty, may affect future impairment tests.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 offshore market is to a high degree dependent on the investment level in the oil industry which in turn is driven by the oil price development on the global market. The recent decline in the offshore market has impacted the Group´s profitability and liquidity. The Group has a clear focus on increasing the number of vessels on term contracts within the offshore operations to mitigate fluctuations in rates and utilization.

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.
