1) Onerous lease provisions under IAS 17 and IAS 37 were presented as part of EBITDA prior to 1.1.2019
2) Impairment of right-of-use (ROU) assets under IFRS 16 and IAS 36 are presented as part of EBIT from 1.1.2019 onwards. The impairment assessment is different than an onerous lease assessment, hence figures may be different

Alternative Performance Measures
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 the requirements in IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and the figures are not audited.
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. The effects from implementing IFRS 16 Leasing are significant for Aker Solutions, and comparative figures for 2018 are not restated. See further information in note 10 in the 2019 Half-Year report. The effects from IFRS 16 on EBITDA and EBIT per segment are presented in the "special items and IFRS 16 Leasing" section of this report.
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 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.

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.
| NOK million | 4Q 2019 | 4Q 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,898 | 2,473 |
| Credit facility (unused) | 4,400 | 5,000 |
| Liquidity buffer | 6,298 | 7,473 |
Net Current Operating Assets (NCOA) or Working Capital is a measure of the current capital necessary to maintain operations. Working capital includes trade receivables, trade payables, accruals, provisions and current tax assets and liabilities.
| NOK million | 4Q 2019 | 4Q 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Current tax assets | 120 | 109 |
| Inventory | 369 | 326 |
| Trade receivables | 3,182 | 3,236 |
| Customer contract assets | 4,803 | 3,652 |

| Effects from IFRS 161) | (663) | - |
| Net current operating assets (NCOA) ex. IFRS 16 | 119 | (753) |
1) Relate to reclassification of onerous lease provisions and lease accruals for rent-free periods previously reported as part of NCOA. Starting from January 1, 2019 these amounts are reported as part of ROU asset under IFRS 16.

Alternative Performance Measures
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 and other restructuring costs.
Note that net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) has up until 2Q 2019 been reported both including and excluding interest-bearing receivables. Going forward, net interest-bearing debt will not include interestbearing receivables, which is consistent with how the debt covenants are defined. The historical information in the graph "net interest-bearing debt development" has been updated to reflect the change.

| Net interest-bearing debt to EBITDA (leverage ratio) | 0.9 | 0.2 |
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. 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.
