Group overview
Aker Solutions financials
The company agreed in the fourth quarter to sell its wellintervention services business to EQT for an enterprise value of NOK 4 billion and its mooring and loading systems business to Cargotec for an enterprise value of NOK 1.4 billion. The sale of the businesses was completed in January 2014. Aker Solutions booked a gain of about NOK 2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2014 from the sales.The businesses are classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Income statement
First-quarter consolidated revenue rose to NOK 11,229 million from NOK 10,312 million in the same period a year earlier. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased to NOK 1,047 million in the first quarter, from NOK 767 million a year earlier. The firstquarter EBITDA margin was 9.3 percent, up from 7.4 percent a year earlier. The subsea business, the company's biggest area by sales, increased its revenue to NOK 3,497 million in the quarter from NOK 3,023 million a year earlier. The unit's EBITDA margin rose to 11.5 percent in the quarter from 10.6 percent a year earlier, as continued efforts to improve project execution yielded results.
Fluctuations in the fair value of hedging transactions that did not qualify for hedge accounting led to an accounting loss of NOK 63 million in the quarter, of which a gain of NOK 32 million was booked under EBITDA and a loss of NOK 95 million was booked under financial items.
Pre-tax profit for the quarter rose to NOK 452 million from NOK 339 million a year earlier. Tax expenses for the quarter rose to NOK 146 million from NOK 89 million a year earlier, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 32 percent and 26 percent respectively.
Net profit for the quarter rose to NOK 306 million compared to NOK 250 million last year. Profit from discontinued operations in the quarter was NOK 2,901 million, (including a gain of the sale of the well-intervention services business area and the mooring and loading business area), compared with NOK 19 million in the same period a year earlier. Profit for the period rose to NOK 3,207 million from NOK 269 million a year earlier. Earnings per share were NOK 1.12 and NOK 11.78 (including the gain from the two divested business areas) for the quarter, compared with NOK 1.00 in the same period last year.
Cashflow
Cashflow from operations was negative NOK 758 million in the first quarter, due to an increase in net current operating assets, compared with negative NOK 2,002 million a year

2Basic EPS continuing operations
The Johan Sverdrup project is progressing according to schedule and budget
earlier. Net current operating assets rose to NOK 3,859 million at the end of the quarter from NOK 4,280 million a year earlier and from NOK 2,597 million at the end of 2013. While the cashflow in projects may fluctuate considerably because of large milestone payments, this is normally leveled by the size of the total contract portfolio.
Net cashflow from investing was positive NOK 5,354 million (including proceeds of NOK 5,460 million from sale of businesses), from NOK negative 1,558 million a year earlier. The liquidity reserves were solid at the end of the quarter with cash and bank deposits of NOK 3.5 billion. Undrawn and committed long-term revolving bank credit facilities were NOK 6.0 billion, giving a total liquidity buffer of NOK 9.5 billion.
Balance sheet
The equity ratio was 36.4 percent at the end of the first quarter, compared with 27.4 percent at the end of the same period a year earlier. Gross interest-bearing debt was NOK 7.9 billion at the end of the first quarter, down from NOK 12.3 billion a year earlier. Net interest-bearing debt was NOK 4.1 billion at the end of the quarter, compared with NOK 9.2 billion a year earlier.
Order intake and backlog
The order intake in the first quarter fell to NOK 8.7 billion from NOK 25.0 billion a year earlier. The order backlog at the end of the quarter was NOK 55.6 billion, compared with NOK 68.7 billion a year earlier. Last year's backlog figure includes a Category B rig contract of NOK 11 billion that was cancelled in June 2013. The order intake includes new contracts as well as the expansion of existing contracts. The backlog is based on the value of signed contracts and the estimated value of firm contract periods in framework agreements and service contracts. The estimated value of options is not included.
Market trends and prospects
The underlying global economic outlook will support a strong exploration and production market, with oil and gas demand driven by population growth and wealth development. Increased demand, coupled with declining production at existing fields, drives an industry shift toward more complex and inaccessible reserves, leaving Aker Solutions well positioned for growth. Global spending on offshore exploration and production will flatten in the short term, but at record high levels. Long term spending estimates continue to follow earlier predictions of 8 percent to 10 percent annual growth through 2019, with sweet spots in the FPSO, SURF, subsea and deepwater markets.
Capital constraints for oil companies will moderate short-term growth, as the industry looks to increased capital discipline and cost optimization to reach a more sustainable cash position after four consecutive years of double-digit spending growth. Customers' reactions to these capital constraints are varied and while Aker Solutions' revenue growth aspirations continue to be supported, an increased focus on financial performance is key. As customers' investment decisions are canceled or delayed, demand for more cost-effective solutions will likely lead to aggressive bidding for large baseline projects.
Tender activity for Aker Solutions was robust in the first quarter, and there was growing demand for the company's key competencies, including conceptual and front-end engineering and design studies for offshore fields under development.
The company expects strong growth in subsea spending, creating substantial opportunities for the subsea, umbilicals, and process systems business areas. We are tendering for subsea contracts in the North Sea, Brazil, Asia Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Africa, and for umbilicals contracts in the North Sea, Asia Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Africa. New developments in key markets create interesting prospects for
the engineering business area. Aging facilities in the North Sea and other markets offer opportunities for Aker Solutions' maintenance, modifications and operations business area. Uncertainty has increased in this segment in Norway as high capital investment concepts are postponed and revisited. However, incoming opportunities and investments should drive positive sentiments after 2015.
Regions
The North Sea is Aker Solutions' single largest market and recent large offshore UK and Norway discoveries have led to several new field developments. Investment levels are expected to remain high, with significant purchases by new market entrants.
Brazil is set to become the single largest offshore exploration and production market over the next five years, with the majority of expenditures devoted to pre-salt developments, yet a continued focus on maintaining production levels at mature fields. Aker Solutions' deepwater technology and strong local content will position the company for continued growth in this market.
Activity offshore North America is picking up, with spending increases in the US and Canada, and Mexico opening its oil and gas sector to private foreign investment. New developments in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Canada require diverse technologies and offer opportunities for our subsea products portfolio. Maintenance and modification spending in Atlantic Canada is expected to increase, and we are positioned to win more contracts in this sector.
The deepwater markets in Angola and West of Africa will continue to provide opportunities for field developments and lifecycle services. Emerging business growth in East Africa offers opportunities for front-end engineering studies as well as subsea and process systems product deliveries in this region.
The Asia Pacific market remains focused on natural gas, with several large project opportunities in the region. Aker Solutions is positioned to win drilling equipment orders from shipyards in Singapore, China and South Korea, and will benefit from expected spending increases in maintenance and modifications in the region.
Strategic developments
Aker Solutions completed the sale of its well-intervention services business area to EQT in January 2014. The unit was sold for an enterprise value of NOK 4 billion and the agreement includes an earn-out provision where Aker Solutions will receive 25 percent of any internal rate of return exceeding 12 percent a year on EQT's equity investment. Aker Solutions booked a gain before any earn-out of about NOK 1.85 billion in the first quarter 2014 from the transaction.
The company in January also completed the sale of its mooring and loading systems business area to Cargotec for an enterprise value of NOK 1.4 billion. Aker Solutions booked a gain of about NOK 1.05 billion in the first quarter of 2014 from the sale.
Health, Safety and Environment
Aker Solutions had 14 total recordable injuries (TRI) in the first quarter of 2014, four of which resulted in lost time on operations. Most were hand and foot injuries from material handling as well as falls.
This resulted in a lost time injury frequency (LTIF) of 0.29 in the first quarter compared with 0.37 in the previous quarter. The frequency of total recordable incidents (TRIF) decreased to 1.03 in the first quarter, from 1.75 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Both frequencies are based on one million worked hours.
Aker Solutions made good progress in the first quarter in rolling out HSE initiatives, including an updated version of the Just Rules program; including new rules for Pressure testing and Tools and equipment, completing a security risk assessment on behalf of our operations in the Republic of Congo and finalizing the Travel security process. The Security strategy for 2014 -2018 is released for review and approval, and a new Lessons Learned film is ready for launch in the coming weeks.
HSE performance indicators

Aker Solutions completed the sale of its well-intervention services business and its mooring and loading systems business for a total of NOK 5.5 billion
for the Johan Sverdrup project in London is progressing as planned. The overall capacity utilization has improved, while there is still spare capacity in the United States due to lack of new projects. The tender activity is high in most markets.
Product Solutions
Product Solutions consists of the business areas Subsea (SUB), Drilling Technologies (DRT), Umbilicals (UMB) and Process Systems (PRS).
Subsea (SUB)
High offshore activity in Subsea lifted revenue to NOK 3.5 billion in the quarter from NOK 3.0 billion a year earlier. The EBITDA margin improved to 11.5 percent in the quarter from 10.6 percent a year earlier. Subsea secured NOK 3.9 billion in orders in the quarter, compared with NOK 17.8 billion a year earlier, mainly driven by product sales, expansions of ongoing projects and service orders. The backlog at the end of the quarter was NOK 22.1 billion. Market activity remains robust.
Drilling Technologies (DRT)
Drilling Technology sales rose 7 percent to NOK 2.5 billion in the quarter from a year earlier. The EBITDA margin narrowed to 9.1 percent from 10.0 percent amid weak execution and progress on some projects. Drilling secured NOK 1.9 billion in orders in the quarter, up from NOK 889 million a year earlier. Sales of single equipment were satisfactory. The aftermarket is still positive, as the installed base is aging and the company expects this market to stay strong throughout
the year. The execution of riser projects is progressing well. The drilling market is currently burdend by oversupply of available drilling rigs which is negatively affecting rig newbuild activity in the short term.Tender activity is high for delivery two to three years ahead, especially in the jack-up market, but closing of orders is taking longer.
Umbilicals (UMB)
The Umbilicals business generated revenue of NOK 607 million in the quarter, an increase of 53 percent from NOK 397 million a year earlier. The EBITDA margin improved to 8.2 percent, from negative 15.9 percent a year earlier. The

unit won new equipment orders both at its U.S. plant and at the Norwegian plant. Capacity utilization was high at the two umbilical factories in Norway and the United States, which together delivered four umbilical systems in the quarter. The business continued to focus on performance and predictability.
Process Systems (PRS)
Process Systems generated revenue of NOK 535 million in the quarter, an increase of 23 percent compared to last year. The increase was helped by strong demand in Norway, Americas and the Asia Pacific region. The order intake increased to NOK 245 million, from NOK 169 million in the year-earlier period. PRS is still facing delays in projectawards in certain regions leading to a risk of capacity costs in affected regions. The EBITDA margin was 5.0 percent in the quarter, compared with 7.3 percent a year earlier.
Field Life Solutions
Field Life Solutions consists of the business areas Maintenance, Modifications and Operations (MMO) and Oilfield Services and Marine Assets (OMA).

business area fell to NOK 2.8 billion in the quarter from NOK 2.9 billion a year earlier. Reduced volume in Norway was partly offset by increased volume from the UK and Brunei. The EBITDA and EBITDA margin were affected by a slowdown on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The order intake of NOK 1.4 billion came mainly from growth in existing projects. Tender activity is ongoing for Maintenance and Modification frame agreements both in Norway and the international markets. A program to improve competitiveness was launched, aiming to improve quality and reduce costs.
Oilfield Services & Marine Assets (OMA)
Sales in the Oilfield Services and Marine Assets business rose to NOK 394 million in the first quarter from NOK 105 million a year earlier. EBITDA was NOK 41 million, compared with negative NOK 54 million in the same period a year ago. The Skandi Aker vessel started a two-year contract in September 2013 with Total in Angola. The revenue utilization in the first quarter was somewhat below target, due to some one-off costs related to maintenence and repair. The second quarter is expected to be negatively affected by down time due to the same issues. It is expected that the revenue utilization will gradually improve over the next quarters. We have assumed that there would be certain start-up issues related to the Skandi Aker operations in Angola, however, it has taken longer than expected to achieve a revenue utilization in line with our target. The Aker Wayfarer vessel completed work for Wellstream Brazil in February and started a six month contract with Subsea 7. The Skandi
Santos vessel continued its long-term engagement with Petrobras. Petrobras recognized Skandi Santos' continued high performance by awarding the vessel the 2013 Petrobras Operational and Safety Excellence Award.

Significant events after the quarter's end
In April 2014, Aker Solutions won a contract worth more than USD 300 million from Petrobras to supply eight manifolds that alternately inject water and gas to increase oil recovery from Brazil's deepwater offshore fields.The subsea manifolds, designed for water depths of 2,500 meters, will be installed by Petrobras and its partners in deepwater pre-salt field developments. The units have a design life of 30 years and the first is scheduled to be delivered in 2016. The order will be executed by Aker Solutions' Brazilian subsea division. The unit last year began work to double its subsea equipment manufacturing capacity at a plant in Curitiba by 2015.
In April 2014, Aker Solutions also won a contract worth NOK 14 billion from Total to provide a subsea production system for the Kaombo Block 32 development in Angola. Aker Solutions will deliver 20 subsea manifolds and 65 vertical subsea wellsets. The order also includes associated controls as well as work-over and tie-in systems. The first deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter of 2015. Kaombo, one of the world's largest subsea developments, is located in block 32 about 150 kilometers off the coast of Angola.
In April 2014, Aker Solutions ASA and Baker Hughes Incorporated agreed to form an alliance to develop technology for production solutions that will boost output, increase recovery rates and reduce costs for subsea fields. The non-incorporated alliance will combine Aker Solutions' strengths in subsea production and processing systems with Baker Hughes' expertise in well completions and artificial-lift technology to deliver reliable, integrated in-well and subsea production solutions that will help mitigate risk, accelerate output and extend the life of subsea fields. The alliance team will also focus on advancing the industry's well-intervention capabilities to further optimize efficiency and reduce risks in subsea developments. The structure of the alliance provides the flexibility for each company to offer any products and services to design the best solution for customers' production challenges.
Aker Solutions on April 30 announced it will split into two companies to speed up a streamlining process that will more fully realize the industrial and return potential of all its business areas. The Subsea, Umbilicals, Engineering and Maintenance, Modifications and Operations (MMO) areas will form a new company under the Aker Solutions name. The other units, including Drilling Technologies, Aker Oilfield Services and Process Systems, will be developed
independently as part of a new oil-services investment company to maximize their value and potential. The split is scheduled to take place at the end of September and both companies will be listed on the Oslo stock exchange.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Operational risk is the ability to deliver existing contracts at the agreed time, quality, functionality and cost. Delivering projects and equipment in accordance with the contract terms and the anticipated cost framework represents a substantial risk element, which will be the most significant factor affecting Aker Solutions' financial performance. Results also depend on costs, both Aker Solutions' own and those charged by suppliers, and on interest expenses, exchange rates and customers' ability to pay.
Aker Solutions also frequently engages in mergers and acquisitions and other transactions that could expose the company to financial and other non-operational risks such as warranty claims and price-adjustment mechanisms. Aker Solutions has established guidelines and systems to manage its exposure to the financial markets. These systems cover, among other issues, currency, interest rate, tax, counterparty and liquidity risks.
Aker Solutions works systematically to manage risk in all its business areas and has extensive systems and procedures in place for this. The annual report for 2013 provides more information on risks and uncertainties

Notes
Note 1 - General
Aker Solutions ASA (the company) is a company domiciled in Norway. The consolidated financial statements of Aker Solutions ASA comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the group) and the group's interests in associates and jointly controlled entities and assets.
Note 2 - Basis for preparation
Aker Solutions' interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the European Union and their interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.
The interim report does not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the group for 2013. Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013. The following changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2014.
Changes in accounting policies
The group has adopted the following new standards, with a date of initial application 1 January 2014.
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
None of these standards have materially impacted Aker Solutions financial statements upon implementation and prior year have not been restated.
The annual report for 2013 is available on www.akersolutions.com.
Note 3 - Judgments, estimates and assumptions
In applying the accounting policies, management makes judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revision to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In preparing these interim financial statement, the significant judgments made by management in applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of uncertainty in the estimates were consistent with those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 December 2013.
