In summary, 2020 has been a challenging year due to continued downturn in the markets which has increased the pressure on earnings and utilisation. In addition, the COVID-19 virus has continued to impact operations. The Group has secured new contracts with a total value of approximately NOK 6.1 billion the last 12 months, and in the 4th quarter new contracts with a value of NOK 1.6 billion have been secured.
The restructuring of the Group's debt is ongoing and standstill agreements have been agreed until the 30th of April with the majority of the secured lenders and until the 31st of March with the bondholders. BNDES has extended the standstill agreement for the majority of the facilities until the 10th of June. The Group is dependent on continued standstill agreements with its creditors until a long-term financial solution is agreed to maintain as going concern.
The Group achieved an EBITDA (management reporting) of NOK 606 million (NOK 805 million) in 4th quarter, and an EBIT of NOK -335 million (NOK 98 million). EBITDA for the full year was NOK 2,990 million (NOK 2,861 million), and an EBIT of NOK -1,771 million (total impairments for the year was NOK 3,665 million).
The owned fleet utilisation in 4th quarter was 68% (83%):
• 77% (79%) Subsea fleet, 59% (77%) AHTS fleet, 56% (94%) PSV fleet.
The total fleet includes 62 vessels (9 vessels on management):
• 18 AHTSs (7), 15 PSVs (1), 29 Subsea vessels (1), 70 ROVs.
General operational comments in Q4:
12 vessels in lay-up (4 on management) by end of the quarter, versus 13 in lay-up by end of previous quarter.
The Group's current backlog is NOK 15.3 billion:

The main part of the Group's PSV and AHTS fleet operates on firm contracts or in the spot market, while the Subsea fleet is partly utilised on term contracts or on subsea IMR (Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair) project contracts. The majority of the 12 vessels in lay-up are within the PSV segment.
The PSV fleet includes 15 vessels, of which one vessel is owned via a minority share. The majority of the fleet operates in the North Sea market and on term contracts and five vessels have been in lay-up the entire period. Two vessels have operated in Australia, of which one contract finished in November. Skandi Aukra started a 2+2-year contract in December and Skandi Kvitsøy was awarded a 1+2x1-year contract in January, both in the North Sea. Skandi Buchan was sold in December and delivered to new owners in January. The average utilisation for the owned PSV fleet has been 56% versus 94% in the 4th quarter 2019.
The AHTS fleet includes 18 vessels with six vessels on management and one vessel owned via a minority share. By year end, five vessels were in lay-up of which one vessel is owned by the Group. One vessel held on management was sold and delivered to new owners in December, and one vessel has been prepared for recycling. Two vessels in Brazil were reactivated from lay-up during December for contracts with start up in the 1st quarter 2021. The average utilisation for the Group's owned AHTS fleet was 59% versus 77% in the 4th quarter 2019.
Nine vessels are operating in Brazil. All vessels are built in Brazil and are owned by the subsidiary Norskan Offshore Ltda. Petrobras is the main client. Skandi Rio and Skandi Botafogo have started to mobilise on new contracts with estimated start up in the 1st quarter 2021. Skandi Rio has been awarded a 3+1-year contract with Petrobras and Skandi Botafogo will replace Skandi Rio on the PIDF project for DOF Subsea Brasil, keeping her busy until Q1 2022.
The North Sea spot market has been impacted by reduced activity. The utilisation rate in this region has been 51% and high volatility in rates.
By year end, the Group operated a fleet of 29 Subsea vessels, including one vessel hired in from external owners. The majority of the fleet is owned by the subsidiary DOF Subsea AS.
The revenues from the subsea operation include revenues from subsea IMR project contracts and time charter contracts, mainly performed by DOF Subsea. The revenues from the subsea IMR contracts during the 4th quarter amounted to NOK 756 million (NOK 825 million). The Group's subsea IMR activities are operated from the Atlantic region, the Asia-Pacific region, the North America region, and the South America (Brazil) region. The overall utilisation of the owned Subsea fleet was 77% in the 4th quarter versus 79% in the 4th quarter last year. One vessel, Skandi Hav (built 1983) has been recycled in the quarter. By year end two vessels were in lay-up, of which one has mobilised for operation in 1st quarter.
The average utilisation rate for the owned Subsea IMR/ Project fleet has been 64% (77%) in the 4th quarter. During the 4th quarter, the Asia-Pacific region has conducted IMR and construction work for Shell in the Philippines and in Australia. The region has further completed a saturation diving and riser installation project in Vietnam and a subsea equipment remediation project in South Korea. In the Atlantic region, the Group has executed a FPSO IMR campaign in Equatorial Guinea, a pipeline survey in the Mediterranean, a survey and AUV project in West Africa, multiple decommission projects and RSV services in the North Sea. In the North America region, the Group has conducted IMR and installation work for Husky Energy, RSV services for Shearwater in the Gulf of Mexico and decommission work for Encana. In the Brazil region, the mobilisation has commenced for the Service and Inspection contracts (PIDF) for Petrobras awarded last quarter. The Group has also been awarded a significant IMR service contract in the region, utilising the Skandi Salvador, also for Petrobras.
In the term chartering segment, the Skandi Africa commenced the 2-year contract extension in direct continuation of the former contract. The six PLSVs owned by the DOFCON JV have operated on firm contracts in the entire period with 98% utilisation.
P&L 4TH QUARTER
| (MNOK) | Q4 2020 | Q4 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Operating income | 1 343 | 1 624 |
| EBITDA EBIT Net financial costs Profit (loss) |
504 -383 704 238 |
519 44 -325 -512 |
During the 4th quarter, the Group achieved an operating revenue of NOK 1,343 million (NOK 1,624 million) and an operating result before depreciation and impairment (EBITDA) of NOK 504 million (NOK 519 million). The EBITDA is impacted by reduced utilisation of the fleet compared to the 4th quarter previous year, which is mitigated by positive results from the JVs. The results from the JVs are NOK 163 million (NOK 5 million) and mainly represent net result in the DOFCON JV. The results from the DOF Deepwater JV have not been included since the shares were sold in October after the restructuring of this company in 3rd quarter.
The Group's operating result (EBIT) is NOK -383 million (NOK 44 million) and include impairments of NOK -687 million (NOK -213 million). The basis for the impairments is fair market values from two independent brokers and value-in-use calculations. The fair market values for the Group's fleet have dropped this quarter. The main part of impairments booked in the quarter is within the subsea segment. A continuing weak market will increase the risk of reduced earnings and asset values, hence further impairment of assets could be expected. The Group's assets are further sensitive to the USD/NOK rate.
The financial result is positive by NOK 704 million (NOK -325 million). Net interest costs were NOK -263 million (NOK -245 million) and net profit on currency and financial instruments were NOK 966 million (NOK -81 million). Both NOK and BRL have strengthened towards USD in the period, hence unrealised gain from currencies represent NOK 1,010 million (NOK -75 million) in the quarter. The Group's operations in Brazil are based on firm charter contracts where the USD revenue is secured with debt in corresponding currency, and the BRL revenue covers the operational costs, hence, the Group's cash exposure on FX fluctuations has been limited in this region. However, the significant weakened BRL to USD has year to date resulted in an accumulated currency loss (unrealised) of NOK 1.4 billion.
Net result before tax, in the 4th quarter, is NOK 238 million (NOK -512 million).

Of the Group's total balance of NOK 18,993 million (NOK 23,464 million), vessels and subsea equipment amount to NOK 12,844 million (NOK 17,765 million). Six vessels are owned via the DOFCON JV and the book value is NOK 2,336 (NOK 1,806 including the DDW JV). Due to continued challenging markets and an unsustainable financial position for the Group, the values of the Group's assets have dropped substantially. Hence, depreciation and impairments represent the main difference in booked tangible assets from 2019 to 2020. The Group's equity is lost and negative with NOK -898 million (NOK 3,451 million).
Cash flow from Q4 2020

The operational cash flow after payment of interest and taxes, in the 4th quarter, was NOK 213 million (NOK 375 million), and net cash flow from investing activities was NOK -7 million (NOK 20 million). The net cash flow from financing activities was NOK -238 million (NOK -322 million). The Group (excluding the JVs) has not paid any instalments or interest to the vast majority of the secured lenders and the bondholders due to the standstill agreements. Cash served as security for outstanding debt are presented net of debt to credit institution with NOK 145 million.
The Group revenue, YTD December, was NOK 6,212 million (NOK 6,276 million) and EBITDA was NOK 2,105 million (NOK 1,815 million). The EBITDA has been positively impacted by a strong USD towards NOK and BRL, termination fees of NOK 110 million on cancelled contracts, and improved profit from the JVs (NOK 171 million in 2020 versus NOK 52 million in 2019. Operating profit (EBIT) was NOK -2,010 million (NOK -387 million). Total impairments amount to NOK 3,258 million (NOK 1,130 million). Net financial result is NOK -2,797 million (NOK -1,909 million). High volatility in USD has impacted the financial costs negatively and total loss on currencies (realised and unrealised) represent NOK -1,747 million (NOK -1,099 million). Net loss for 2020 is NOK -4,959 million.
The operational cash flow for 2020 was NOK 1,445 million (NOK 919 million). Cash flow investment activities was NOK -3 million (NOK -1 million) and financing activities NOK -423 million (NOK -1,422 million).
The Group's total interest-bearing debt comprise secured debt of NOK 15,701 million and unsecured debt/bonds NOK 2,554 million.
The restructuring of the Group's long-term debt is ongoing and standstill agreements have been agreed until the 30th of April 2021 with 91% of the secured lenders within the DOF ASA Group (excl. DOF Subsea Group) and 88% of the secured lenders within the DOF Subsea Group. The standstill agreements do not include the JVs (DOFCON). The DOF Subsea standstill agreements further assume payment of principal and interest of a NOK 100 million credit facility provided by certain lenders in March 2020. The relevant Group companies have imposed unilateral standstill to the secured lenders not participating in the standstill agreements. One of the DOF Subsea secured lenders has requested repayment of approximately USD 47 million and has enforced account pledge on the earnings account for the relevant vessel. Another secured lender has enforced account pledge for one loan facility in DOF Subsea. The bondholders in DOFSUB07, DOFSUB08 and DOFSUB09 have further accepted a standstill until the 31st of March. An Ad-hoc group of bondholders can extend the standstill until the 30th of June.
BNDES has extended the standstill of the majority of the facilities in Norskan Offshore Ltda. and one facility in DOF Subsea Brasil until the 10th of June 2021. As previously reported BNDES has approved a 4-year restructuring agreement with the two Brazilian subsidiaries including soft amortisation until end 2023. The DOFCON JV has not applied for a general standstill, but has applied for use of grace periods, where applicable, under its loan facilities in Brazil.
21 000 Total interest bearing debt 31.12.2019 - 31.12.2020

The portion of debt secured with fixed rate of interest is approximately 59% of total debt and includes the debt with fixed interest in BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank).
The Company is guarantor for the debt in Iceman AS, in total NOK 425 million, where approximately 50% of the DOF guarantee is counter guaranteed by other shareholders in Iceman AS. The company has agreed a standstill period with the banks including deferral of interest and instalments until the 15th of March, and a long-term refinancing solution is currently under discussion with the lenders.
The Group's financial position is not sustainable, and a long-term financial solution is necessary to continue as going concern. Due to the ongoing debt restructuring of the Group, the vast majority of the Group's securedand unsecured debt are classified as current debt. This classification is based on that standstill agreements for debt service with the banks and bondholders are less than 12 months.
The Group will continue the dialogue with its creditors to secure a long-term financial solution for the Group. Various debt restructuring proposals have been discussed with the secured lenders and the bondholders. The proposals include comprehensive restructuring of the Group's balance sheet, including conversion of debt.
By the end of December, the total share capital was NOK 309 million divided into 309 million shares. The main shareholder Møgster Offshore AS controls 32.37% of the Company and 31.60% on a fully diluted basis.
The Group employed as of the 31st of December 3,126 employees including hired staff, which is a slight decrease since the previous quarter. Total offshore personnel are 2,421 and 705 persons are employed onshore of which the majority are engaged within the subsea segment.
There were no significant HSEQ issues identified in 4th quarter. The operations have continued to be challenging since the outbreak of COVID-19. Still, the Group has been able to protect its employees, executing the projects, and operating the vessels at close to normal throughout the year. However, the COVID-19 costs for the Group has in 2020 been significant and represent approximately NOK 100 million. Regarding environmental issues the Group received the A-score in the Carbon Disclosure Project 2019, which is an improvement from previous year and the next to the highest achievable score.
On the 29th of January the Group agreed to extend the standstill agreements with the secured lenders representing in total 91% of the secured debt of DOF ASA and its subsidiaries and in total 88% of the secured debt of companies within the DOF Subsea AS Group (excluding the DOFCON JV and DOF Subsea Brasil Servicos Ltda).
The stand-still from BNDES to Norskan Offshore Ltda. has been extended to 10th June 2021, except in respect of certain loan facilities which are not eligible for further stand-still periods as the maximum stand-still periods under applicable regulations have been exhausted. The other secured lenders have accepted that Norskan Offshore Ltda. services interest and amortisations under these facilities.
In a bondholder meeting on the 1st of February a proposal to extend the standstill period until the 31st of March received 99.17%, 100% and 100% of the votes in DOFSUB07, DOFSUB08, and DOFSUB09. The Approval includes that the Ad-hoc group of bondholders has the option to extend the standstill period until the 30th of June 2021.
The markets have continued to be challenging throughout the year. Still, the Group has managed to secure several contracts during the 2nd half of 2020 and maintained the utilisation of its owned fleet at 73% through the year, but the rate levels are still not at sufficient levels to serve the Group's total debt. The majority of the Group's high-end assets are committed on firm contracts and represent the largest value of the Group's backlog.
The continuing weak markets have increased the financial risk of the Group, and the Board of Directors expects the market conditions to remain challenging. The timing of a recovery is highly uncertain, and future earnings and asset values are difficult to forecast, hence further impairments of assets could be expected.
The 4th quarter financial report is prepared on the assumption of going concern. However, the Group's financial position is not sustainable as the equity is negative. and standstill agreements with the majority of the Group's creditors have continued since June 2020. Continuing weak markets will increase the risk of reduced earnings and further strain the Group's financial position. If a robust long-term refinancing solution is not achieved and the Group cannot be treated as a going concern, the valuation of the Group's assets will be further revised and will result in significant impairments of the Group's assets.
As mentioned above the Group has entered into standstill agreements with the majority of its creditors, including temporary deferral of payment of interest and instalments. Debt restructuring proposals have been presented and discussed with the secured lenders and bondholders, but a final solution is not yet in place. The proposals currently discussed include a comprehensive restructuring of the Group's balance sheet including conversion of debt, which again will have a significant adverse effect for the current holders of the equity. The Group is dependent on continued standstill agreements with its creditors until a long-term financial solution is agreed to maintain as going concern.

Note 1 General
DOF ASA (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") own and operate a fleet of PSV, AHTS, subsea vessels and service companies offering services to the subsea market worldwide.
The Company is a public limited company, which is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The head office is located at Storebø in the municipality of Austevoll, Norway.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved for issue on the 24th of February 2021. These condensed interim financial statements have not been audited.
This Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The Financial Report does not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report for 2019.
The Financial Report are prepared on the assumption of a going concern. However, the Group's financial situation is not sustainable as the equity is negative and standstill agreements with the majority of the Group's creditors have continued since June 2020. The continuing weak markets have increased the financial risk of the Group, and the Board of Directors expects the marked conditions to remain challenging. The timing of a recovery is highly uncertain. A continuing weak market will increase the risk of lower earnings for the Group and further strain the Group's financial position. If a robust long-term refinancing solution is not achieved and the Group cannot be treated as a going concern, the valuation of the Group's assets will be further revised and will result in significantly impairments of the Group's assets.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended the 31st of December 2019, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the provision for income taxes.
The reporting below is presented according to internal management reporting, based on the proportional consolidation method of accounting of jointly controlled companies. The bridge between the management reporting and the figures reported in the financial statement is presented below.

Continued challenging market combined with the Groups refinancing process have increased the risk of not being able to give group contribution within the Group to reduce payable tax to Norway. Purpose of giving group contribution between companies in the Group is to offset taxable profit towards taxable loss carry forward within the Group. Change in tax assumptions has led to increased tax payable of NOK 25 million and deferred tax liability of NOK 57 million at year end 2020.

Net booked value of right-of-use assets at the 31st of December 2020 consists of property with NOK 256 million (NOK 280 million) and operating equipment with NOK 8 million (NOK 12 million).
The fair market values have dropped due the significant drop in oil price and expected weaker markets going forward. In addition, all value in use calculation have been recalculated. The market conditions are expected to remain challenging, and the timing of market recovery remains uncertain. A continuing weak market and high volatility in currencies may increase the risk for further impairment of the Group's assets going forward.
Impairment tests performed for Q4 2020 have resulted in an impairment of vessels and equipment of NOK 687 million in the 4th quarter 2020 and NOK 3,258 million in total year 2020. No impairment has been done in the joint ventures in the 4th quarter 2020 and in 2020 total impairments represent NOK 406 million. In addition vessels in associates are impaired with NOK 21 million in Q4 2020 and NOK 51 million in total year 2020.
The markets within oil service are still challenging, and the timing of a recovery remains uncertain. A continuing weak market will further increase the risk of lower earnings for the Group and put more pressure on the Group's liquidity position. If a robust long-term refinancing solution is not achieved and the Group cannot be treated as a going concern, the valuation of the Group's assets will be further revised and may result in significantly impairments of the Group's assets.
The valuation of the vessels are sensitive for changes in WACC, earnings and USD/NOK rate. The Group has applied a nominal WACC after tax in the range of 8.4 - 9.3 %. Negative changes in WACC with 50 basis points will result in an additional impairment of the vessels with approximately NOK 324 million.

Note 11 Contingency
After a saturation dive campaign in Australia in 2017, some of the divers have been diagnosed with potential long-term health effects with various symptoms. The situation continues to be monitored, and the Group has engaged a team of globally recognised experts and has offered specialist medical support to the divers.
The incident has been under investigation by NOPSEMA since 2018 and the Group received a Prosecution Notice as a result of NOPSEMA's investigation in Q2 2020. The Group has engaged an external law firm to act on behalf of the Group for the defense of the charges by the prosecutor. Based on facts and circumstances it is the Group`s view that it is more likely than not that there will be no future cash outflow related to the dive campaign in 2017. No provision related to the dive campaign is included in the Group's accounts as of 31st of December 2020.
There is always a risk that changes in interpretations of facts and circumstances will be interpreted to the detriment of the Group. Such changes might result in future cash outflow for the Group.
For further information about contingencies, see Annual Report for 2019.
