The financial net result was impacted by lower revenue and weaker development of financial items. Revenue decreased to MSEK 70 (78) for the quarter. EBITDA is negative for the quarter at MSEK -37 (-22). Due to net financial items of MSEK -20 (positive 25), the net result was MSEK -78, which is MSEK 61 worse than corresponding quarter in 2019.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Group has implemented operational procedures to reduce the risk for contamination and keep our employees safe. Consequently, visits between the vessels are restricted and external visitors reduced to an absolute minimum. We are working closely with the authorities, unions and the Norwegian Shipowners Association to find the best possible solutions for our clients, suppliers and employees.

The North Sea spot market has been significantly impacted by the escalating COVID-19 situation and collapse in the oil price. Consequently, several rigs have been suspended prior to contract expiry. The adverse economic effect of the pandemic has also caused most oil and gas companies to reduce their planned spending for exploration and development, which has had and is expected to continue to have a negative effect on the OSV segment.

The Group has worked hard to keep the vessels operational, and at the same time maintain the safety and well-being of our crew and employees. To mitigate operational risk and as a cost reducing measure, the Group has after the end of the quarter decided to lay-up Loke Viking temporarily. Part of the crew will be laid off according to the Norwegian lay-off rules, while those on temporary contracts will not be extended. The Group has a clear ambition to get the vessel back in operation as soon as possible but find this to be a necessary measure until the market shows a better visibility.

After the end of the quarter, the Group has entered into a contract for Magne Viking with a major oil company. The vessel will operate in a harsh environment region for a duration of 80 days firm, as well as a further 80 days optional period. Commencement is expected to be mid-June. The contract clearly demonstrates the advantages with a fleet consisting of high ice-classed vessels.

OUTLOOK

In early March 2020, the price war between Russia and OPEC lead to a disintegration of the cooperation within OPEC+, causing the Brent price to collapse. The significantly reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 lock-down has put further pressure on the oil price, and although OPEC+ has now implemented mitigating measures it is still significant uncertainty in the market. Oil companies have so far reduced their capex budgets significantly for 2020 and 2021, which will likely reduce the demand for OSVs in the short and medium term. The Group expects that this will have a negative effect on both rates and utilization in the North Sea for the next 18-24 months, but the uncertainty is currently high, and it is thus challenging to give a detailed outlook.

A long-term recovery within the OSV segment is subject the global pandemic development, as well as the overall market sentiment within the offshore oil and gas industry. It is expected that large parts of the industry will need to go through another round of financial restructuring and an ultimate recovery will also depend on vessels being scrapped or laid up.

The Group has a sound financial position as it is debt free and has also initiated cost reducing measures to mitigate the current situation. Although the market is expected to be very challenging, the Group is working hard to secure term contracts for the fleet going forward.

FIRST QUARTER

Total revenue was MSEK 70 (78)
EBITDA was MSEK -37 (-22)
Result after tax was MSEK -78 (-17)
Result after tax per share was SEK -8.4 (-1.8)

SUMMARY OF EVENTS IN Q1

EBITDA for Q1 was MSEK -37 (-22).
The average fixture rate in Q1 was USD 31,300 (41,800) and the average utilization was 31% (35).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The COVID-19 situation has given significant operational impact for all shipowners, with especially travel restrictions and quarantine regulations making daily operations more challenging. In addition, the market activity is impacted as several rigs have been suspended due to the situation. The reduced demand for oil has also created a significant uncertainty for the future market outlook within the OSV industry. As a result of these factors, VSS decided to put Loke Viking in temporary lay-up after the end of the quarter.
After the end of the quarter, the Group has entered into a medium-term contract for Magne Viking with a major oil company in a harsh environment region. The vessel is expected to commence the contract in Mid-June, and the duration is 80 days firm + 80 days optional period.
After the end of the quarter, Geir Karlsen was appointed Chief Operational Officer in the Group. He will be overall responsible for all operations within the Group and take part in the senior management team.

RESULTS AND FINANCE

RESULTS YEAR TO DATE 2020

Total revenue for the Group was MSEK 70 (78).

The Group's EBITDA was MSEK -37 (-22).

Net financial items were MSEK -20 (25). The amount includes negative exchange differences of MSEK 22 due to extraordinary currency fluctuations during March.

The Group's result after tax was MSEK -78 (-17).

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER

ANCHOR HANDLING TUG SUPPLY VESSELS (AHTS)

Total AHTS revenue was MSEK 28 (36) in Q1 and EBITDA was MSEK -35 (-19).

During Q1, four vessels have been operating in the North Sea spot market.

The activity in the beginning of the quarter was, as expected, reduced due to seasonal variations. The North Sea market normally sees increased activity towards the spring, but due to significant impact from the COVID-19 situation, this did not materialize in 2020. As a result, both rates and utilization has remained at unsatisfactory levels throughout the quarter.

AHTS Q1	Fixture rates (USD)	Utilization (%)
AHTS vessels on term charters	- (-)	- (-)
AHTS vessels in the spot market	31,300 (41,800)	31 (35)
Total AHTS fleet	31,300 (41,800)	31 (35)

1) Oil major, 80 days firm + 80 days optional period. Figures in the tables are as of 15 May 2020.

SERVICES AND SHIP MANAGEMENT

Total Services and Ship Management revenue was MSEK 42 (42) in Q1. Total EBITDA was MSEK -2 (-3).

Defender, the vessel the Group operates on behalf of Vard, entered in November into a contract with Total DK for a duration of 6 months plus options and has operated as planned throughout the 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.

The other operations within the ship-management and services segment proceeded as planned throughout the quarter.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For information about the previously owned ordinary AHTS vessel Odin Viking, see note 4, 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 2,082. The equity increased during the year by net MSEK 48 due to the loss for the period of MSEK 78 and a positive change in the translation reserve of MSEK 126 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 9.

The gross investments during the quarter amounted to MSEK 13 (43), and consisted of capitalized docking expenses.

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 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 March 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

TOTAL	70	78	504

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

2) The revenues are attributable to the 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, eg 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.

Mobilization/demobilization 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 Q1 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 1,827. The conclusion is that the calculation of value-in-use of MSEK 1,843 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 1,741 (ranging from MSEK 1,552 to MSEK 1,891).

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The segment information about continuing operations is presented in three segments:

The segment AHTS with ice-class comprise 4 offshore vessels that are equipped for and have the capacity to operate in areas with harsh environment. All vessels are also equipped and classed to operate in Arctic areas.
The segment Services provides ice management services and logistical support in the Arctic regions.
The segment Ship Management is involved in commercial management of five icebreakers owned by the Swedish Maritime Administration and one PSV vessel owned by an external ship-owner.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATION AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

It was during 2018 decided to sell Odin Viking, the only vessel held by the Group without ice-class. The sale of the vessel was concluded during 2019. IFRS 5 Assets held for sale and discontinued operation has been applied, which means that the vessel after the decision is reported as a one-line item in the consolidated profit and loss statements. Assets and liabilities related to the segments are also presented in two rows in the consolidated balance sheet. The consolidated cash flow statement is presented including the segments, but with additional information about cash-flow from current operation and investing- and financing activities of the discontinued segments. Comparative figures for prior periods are also presented in accordance with this classification in the consolidated profit and loss statement and cash-flow statement.

Discontinued operations are in accordance with IFRS 5 measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

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.
