General

Basis of preparations

This presentation provides consolidated financial highlights for the quarter of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial information is not reported according to requirements in IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and the figures are not audited.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this presentation are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the last annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the adoption of new standard IFRS 16 Leases have been implemented as of 1 January 2019. A description of the major changes and the effects are included in note 2 (standards issued but not yet effective) on page 37 in the AqualisBraemar' annual report 2018 available on www.aqualisbraemar.com. The Company has applied the simplified transition approach and comparative amounts are not restated for the year prior to first adoption.

The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

AqualisBraemar discloses APMs in addition to those normally required by IFRS. APMs are meant to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing and future prospects of the company. Certain items may not be indicative of the ongoing operating result of the company and are excluded from the alternate profit measures. Profit measures excluding those adjustment items are presented as an alternative measures to improve comparability of the underlying business performance between the periods. The Company has defined and explained the purpose of the following APMs:

Adjusted EBITDA which excludes depreciation, amortisation and impairments, share of net profit (loss) from associates, transaction costs related to acquisitions, restructuring and integration costs is a useful measure because it provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to fund capital expenditures and provides a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with that of other companies. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures from other companies.

Adjusted EBIT which excludes amortisation and impairments, share of net profit (loss) from associates, transaction costs related to acquisitions, restructuring and integration costs is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the profitability of the Company's operating activities for the period without regard to significant events and/ or decisions in the period that are expected to occur less frequently.

Adjusted profit (loss) after taxes which excludes amortisation and impairments, share of net profit (loss) from associates, transaction costs related to acquisitions, restructuring and integration costs and certain finance income is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the profitability of the Company's operating activities for the period without regard to significant events and/or decisions in the period that are expected to occur less frequently.

Order backlog is defined as the aggregate value of future work on signed customer contracts or letters of award. Aqualis' services are shifting towards "call out contracts" which are driven by day-to-day operational requirements. An estimate for backlog on "call out contacts" are only included in the order backlog when reliable estimates are available. Management believes that the order backlog is a useful measure in that it provides an indication of the amount of customer backlog and committed activity in the coming periods.

Working capital is a measure of the current capital tied up in operations. The amount of working capital will normally be dependent on the revenues earned over the past quarters. Working capital includes trade receivables and other current assets, trade payables, current tax payable and other current liabilities. Working capital may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures from other companies. Working capital ratio provides an indication of the working capital tied up relative to the average quarterly revenue over the past two quarters.
