The same measurement principles as presented in the Annual Report 2018 have been used preparing this presentation, with the exception of accounting for lease contracts. IFRS 16 (Leasing) has been implemented as of January 1, 2019. A description of the transition effects and accounting principles are included in note 32 of the 2018 Annual Report available at https://akersolutions.com/annual-reports

The effects from implementing IFRS 16 Leasing are significant for Aker Solutions. Comparative figures are not restated. The effects on EBITDA and EBIT are presented in the "special items" section.

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.

EBITDA and EBIT terms are presented as they are used by financial analysts and investors. Special items are excluded from EBITDA and EBIT as alternative measures to provide enhanced insight into the financial development of the business operations and to improve comparability between different periods.

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 are used to compare relative profit between periods. EBITDA margin and EBIT margin are calculated as EBITDA or EBIT divided by revenue.

Net debt to EBITDA (leverage ratio) is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of a company. The ratio shows how many years it would take for a company to pay back its debt, if net debt and EBITDA are held constant. The ratio is one of the debt covenants of the company. The ratio is calculated as net debt (total principal debt outstanding less unrestricted cash) divided by EBITDA excluding certain special items (as defined in loan agreements) for the last twelve month period. If a company has more cash than debt, the ratio can be negative.

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 (as a reminder, the backlog does not include part of the Services business, which is short cycled or book-and-turn in nature, or potential growth or options on existing 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.

IFRS 16 Leasing

Background

The new IFRS 16 Leasing standard is effective from January 1, 2019. The new leasing standard has significantly changed how the company accounts for its lease contracts for land, buildings and machines previously accounted for as operating leases. An on-balance sheet model similar to the financial leases in IAS 17 has been applied to all contracts that contain a lease. Sub-leases covering the major part of the period in the head-lease are classified as financial. According to the company's loan agreements, new accounting principles will not impact the current debt covenants. The company has implement the lease standard using a modified retrospective method with cumulative impact recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative figures are not restated. More information about transition effects and accounting principles for IFRS 16 is available in note 32 in the 2018 Annual Report available at https://akersolutions.com/annual-reports
