General
Basis for Preparation
This presentation provides financial highlights for the quarter for Aker Solutions, a Norwegian limited company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The financial information is not reported according to requirements in IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and the figures are not audited.
The same measurement principles as presented in the Annual Report 2017 have been used preparing this presentation, with the exception of customer contracts and financial instruments. IFRS 15 (Revenue from Customer Contracts) and IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) have been implemented as of January 1, 2018. A description of the major changes and the transition effects are included in note 4 and 13 in the half-year report 2018 available on www.akersolutions.com. The company has used the modified implementation method, hence the cumulative impact has been recognized in retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Comparative figures are not restated.
Alternative Performance Measures
Aker Solutions discloses alternative performance measures in addition to those normally required by IFRS as such performance measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. Alternative performance measures are meant to provide an enhanced insight into the operations, financing and future prospects of the company.
Profit Measures
EBITDA is short for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA corresponds to the "operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment" in the consolidated income statement in the annual report.
EBIT is short for earnings before interest and taxes. EBIT corresponds to "operating income" in the consolidated income statement in the annual report.
Margins such as EBITDA margin and EBIT margin is used to compare relative profit between periods. EBITDA margin and EBIT margin are calculated as EBITDA or EBIT divided by revenue.
Special items may not be indicative of the ongoing operating result of cash flows of the company. Profit measure excluding special items is presented as an alternative measures to improve comparability of the underlying business performance between the periods.

Financing Measures
Alternative financing and equity measures are presented as they are indicators of the company's ability to obtain financing and service its debts.
Liquidity buffer is a measure of available cash and is calculated by adding together the cash and cash equivalents and the unused credit facility.
| NOK million | 4Q 2018 | 4Q 2017 |

| Cash and cash equivalents | 2,473 | 1,978 |
| Credit facility (unused) | 5,000 | 3,750 |

Gross Debt and Net Interest-Bearing Debt are measures that shows the overall debt situation. Net debt is calculated by netting the value of a company's liabilities and debts with its cash and other similar short-term financial assets.
Net debt leverage is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of a company. It is calculated as net debt (total principal debt outstanding less unrestricted cash) divided by EBITDA ex. special items for the last twelve month period.

General
Order Intake Measures
Order intake, order backlog and book-to-bill ratios are presented as alternative performance measures, as they are indicators of the company's revenues and operations in the future.
Order intake includes new signed contracts in the period in addition to expansion of existing contracts. For construction contracts, the order intake is based on the signed contract value excluding potential options and change orders. For service contracts, the order intake is based on the estimated value of firm periods in the contracts.
Order backlog represents the estimated value of remaining work on signed contracts.
Book-to-bill ratio is calculated as order intake divided by revenue in the period. A book-to-bill ratio higher than 1 means that the company has secured more contracts in the period than what has been executed in the same period.

New Leasing Standard (IFRS 16)
The new IFRS 16 Leasing standard is effective from January 1, 2019. An on-balance sheet model similar to the current financial leases accounting will be applied to all contracts that contain a lease. The new leasing standard will significantly change how the company accounts for its lease contracts for land, buildings and machines currently accounted for as operating leases. The company will use the exemption in the standard to exclude leases shorter than twelve months and low value leases such as computers and office equipment. The right-of-use asset for selected leases will be measured as if IFRS 16 had always been applied. The company will implement the lease standard using a modified method with cumulative impact recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative figures will not be restated.
The EBITDA will be significantly impacted by the new leasing standard, as well as the balance sheet from introducing the lease liability and right-of-use asset. According to the company's loan agreements, new accounting principles will not impact the debt covenants.
A high-level preliminary estimate is given below based on current lease contracts. The actual impact upon implementation may change as a result of changed interest rates, signing of new lease contracts, re-assessment of renewal options, re-assessment of onerous leases and use of certain implementation options in the standard. The impact may also change if new information and guidance becomes known before the group presents its first consolidated financial statements using the new standards.
- Balance sheet: lease liability will increase by NOK 5-6 billion, and right-of-use asset (and sub-lease receivable) will increase by NOK 4.5-5.5 billion. The difference will impact equity
- Operating expense: annual lease expense (and lease revenue for sub-leases) will be reduced, increasing EBITDA in the range of NOK 600-800 million
- Depreciation: annual depreciation of leased assets will increase in the range of NOK 500-700 million
- Interest expense: annual interest expense related to the lease liability will increase by NOK 150-300 million
