Building Financial Robustness

Priorities

Build sufficient Financial robustness

Invest in Profitable growth

  • The board of directors deems it prudent to build financial robustness to support Aker Solutions' objectives for strategic development and delivering shareholder value
  • Focus on continued safe operations, cost improvements, predictable project execution, strong capital discipline, healthy margins and increased cash generation
  • With the continued uncertainty related to the pandemic and prioritizing financial robustness, the Board has proposed no dividend payment for 2020

Summary and Outlook

Summary

  • 2020 was an operationally very challenging year due to the restrictions imposed to manage the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Implemented NOK 1.5 billion in overhead cost savings and delivered order intake increase of 31% in 2020
  • Healthy order backlog of NOK 38 billion
  • NOK 76 billion of ongoing tenders, 1/3 relates to Energy Transition (renewables and low-carbon solutions)
  • Outlook for project sanctioning has increased both in traditional oil & gas, following the temporary tax incentives in Norway in particular, as well as related to Energy Transition
  • The high FEED- and tendering activity, combined with leading capabilities, should turn into a number of interesting opportunities where Aker Solutions is well positioned
  • Based on this the merger ambitions remain firm

Outlook

  • 2021 overall revenue at this stage seen at somewhat below the 2020 level
  • 2021 overall underlying EBITDA at this stage seen at around the 5.5% to 6.0% level. This will result in an EBIT level slightly above break-even and a negative EBT. This is not at a satisfactory level and the main priority for the company going forward is to improve margins and cash generation to build financial robustness and improve value creation.
  • Working Capital fluctuates with large project work but is expected to continue to trend around the NOK 0 to 1 billion range going forward
  • Capex and R&D was reduced about 50% in 2020, and is at this stage expected to be further reduced by another 30% in 2021

(Forward-looking statements involve significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience and present expectations or projections)

Alternative Performance Measures

Profit Measures

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.

Special items may not be indicative of the ongoing operating result of cash flows of the company. Profit measures excluding special items are presented as alternative measures to improve comparability of the underlying business performance between the periods.

1) Earnings per share is calculated using Net income, adjusted for non-controlling interests, divided by average number of shares

2) Earnings per share ex. special items is calculated using Net income ex. Special items, adjusted for non-controlling interests, divided by average number of shares

Alternative Performance Measures

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 (available liquidity) is a measure of available cash and is calculated by adding together the cash and cash equivalents and the unused credit facility.

Net interest-bearing 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 interest-bearing debt (total principal debt outstanding less unrestricted cash) divided by EBITDA. If a company has more cash than debt, the ratio can be negative. The leverage ratio for Aker Solutions does not include the effects of IFRS 16 Leasing, as the debt covenants are based on frozen GAAP.

Further, the EBITDA is calculated based on the last four quarter period and it excludes certain special items as defined in the loan agreements, such as restructuring of offices (onerous leases) and other restructuring costs.

Alternative Performance Measures

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 agreed customer contracts in the period in addition to expansion of existing contracts. For construction contracts, the order intake includes the value of agreed contracts and options, and value of agreed change orders and options. It does not include potential options and change orders. For service contracts, the order intake is based on estimated customer revenue in periods that are firm in the contracts.

Order backlog represents the estimated value of remaining work on agreed customer contracts. The order backlog does not include parts of the Services segment, which is short-cycled or book-and-turn in nature. The order backlog does also not include potential growth or value of options in 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.
