Edda Wind ASA – 1st Quarter Report 2023

Letter from

the CEO Edda Wind signed a contract for additional four

CSOVs with the Vard Group 3rd March. A capital increase of about NOK 1.2 billion was successfully closed at the same date and will cover the equity portion for these vessels. The company is now building up a fleet of 14 vessels and will become the leading company in the segments we operate.

The company has a backlog of EUR 422 million, still with several newbuilds uncommitted and able to secure work in a market with great demand for this type of vessels with expectations for attractive dayrates.

The first CSOV Edda Breeze and the first SOV Edda Brint of the newbuilding series were both delivered on contract at the end of March. We have earlier reported delays in delivery of the gangway systems for the vessels and it is therefore an important milestone to finally see them go on hire. The fixed period of the contracts are until 2032 with Ocean Breeze and until 2037 with Vestas respectively. Three more vessels will be completed and put into operation during 2023.

Edda Passat has successfully carried out scheduled 5-yearly drydocking during the quarter before returning to the Ørsted contract.

The chartered-in frontrunner vessel in the Ocean Breeze contract, Edda Fjord, was redelivered to Østensjø when replaced by Edda Breeze.

Edda Wind has started recruitment for additional personnel to ensure that the onshore organisation is dimensioned for the growing fleet and in line with the increased activity in general.

We are grateful to all stakeholders who have, and continues to, show confidence in Edda Wind and our business model.

Overview

Report Management Statements Financial

Operations

Edda Wind ASA and subsidiaries ("The Group") is a pure-play offshore wind service provider.

Currently, the Group owns and operates three purpose-built SOVs and one CSOV and has nine CSOVs and one SOV under construction.

Edda Passat and Edda Mistral operates in the North Sea on charters for Ørsted on Race Bank and Hornsea 1 windfarms on contracts with firm period expiring March and October 2024 respectively.

On 31 March 2023 Edda Breeze commenced the contract with Ocean Breeze Energy, replacing the frontrunner, and will operate at Bard Offshore 1 windfarm north of Germany on a firm period up to April 2032 plus options. Bard Offshore 1 windfarm has 80 wind turbine generators for a total of 400-megawatt capacity and has been in operation since 2013.

On 29 March 2023 Edda Brint commenced its long-term contract with Vestas with a firm period up to May 2037 working on the 1.1 gigawatt capacity Seagreen Offshore Windfarm on the east coast of Scotland. The 114 turbines will provide enough green energy to power more than 1.6 million homes. The gangway system on board Edda Brint is not yet fully commissioned, and Edda Brint will work on a reduced day rate for some weeks until final commissioning is completed.

All vessels had near full utilisation throughout the quarter with no unscheduled downtime and zero injuries.

On 2 March 2023 the Group announced a capital raise of NOK 1.2 billion to part-finance a new contract for four CSOVs ordered at Vard for delivery Q1 2025 to Q1 2026. With this order Edda Wind is firmly positioned as the leading provider of service vessels for the growing offshore wind market.

Group consolidated results Q1 2023

Total operating income for Q1 2023 was EUR 6,893 thousand compared to EUR 6,769 thousand in Q1 2022. The increase in operating income is primarily related to a compensation received from Colombo Dockyard PLC, offset by reduced revenue as result of a planned docking stay for one of the vessels.

Operating expenses before depreciation was in Q1 2023 EUR 6,220 thousand compared to EUR 4,864 thousand in Q1 2022. The increase is mainly due to EUR 1,220 thousand in increased charter hire for the chartered-in frontrunner vessel, which was redelivered to vessel owner in end of March.

The Group had an EBITDA of EUR 673 thousand in Q1 2023, versus EUR 1,904 thousand in Q1 2022.

Net financial result in Q1 2023 was EUR (333) thousand, compared to EUR (306) thousand in the same quarter last year. The change is mainly due to increased net interest cost and realised loss on financial derivatives, offset by net currency gains.

Profit before tax was EUR (433) thousand in Q1 2023, versus EUR 782 thousand in Q1 2022.

Capital structure and financing

Cash and cash equivalents ended at EUR 136,843 thousand at 31 March 2023, up from EUR 45,021 thousand at 31 December 2022. Following the private placement performed in March 2023.

Investment in newbuildings was EUR 145,441 thousand at 31 March 2023, down from EUR 223,082 thousand at 31 December 2022. The decrease is due to the reclassification of Edda Breeze and Edda Brint from "newbuildings" to "vessels" as the vessels were ready for use in late March 2023, offset by payments in relation to the ten newbuildings on order. Investment in vessels increased from EUR 66,714 thousand to EUR 170,429 thousand during the quarter due to the reclassification of Edda Brint and Edda Breeze, less depreciation.

Total interest-bearing debt was EUR 170,736 thousand at 31 March 2023, up from EUR 156,964 thousand at 31 December 2022. The increase is due to drawdowns on the debt facilities to finance the newbuildings. In February 2023 Edda Wind entered into a green loan facility agreement for the preand post-delivery financing of three vessels under construction at Gondan shipyard in Spain. The facility, which is with Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Eksfin Norge and Sparebanken Vest, is for minimum EUR 100 million and maximum EUR 120 million, with a term of six years from delivery and a blended profile of 12 and 15 years.

Total equity was EUR 288,199 thousand at the end of Q1 2023, up from EUR 183,680 thousand at the end of Q4 2022. The increase is primarily due to capital raised in the private placement performed in March 2023, offset by the operating loss for the quarter.

Outlook

The ongoing restructuring of the world's energy systems in a greener direction has continued and strengthened throughout the quarter. This is a megatrend that will contribute to shaping the world for decades to come. The leading analytical environments within offshore wind estimate a continued significant growth in energy generation capacity from offshore wind turbines. This will naturally be accompanied by a growth in the number of wind turbines installed and in operation. As a consequence, it is estimated that in excess of 250 C/SOVs will be needed to assist with commissioning and operation of these; a number that compares favourably with the existing fleet size of less than 60 vessels, including vessels under construction. Subsea tonnage, which has been filling the gap between supply and demand until now, is continuing to migrate back to oil & gas markets, as demand and day rates achieved in these markets have strengthened significantly over the last year. For Edda Wind, as the leading shipowner and operation within the C/SOV market, this continues to be an opportunity for growth in what is expected to be a market with increasing day rates.

The newbuilding programme

The Group has ten vessels under construction, one SOV and nine CSOVs – including Edda Boreas which was delivered from the shipyard on 9 February 2023 and currently is in process of installing the gangway system.

The SOV and CSOV newbuilds are sister-vessels with the same main components and technology, which will offer benefits in relation to operation, crew training and spares. Quoted prices for similar vessels have increased significantly during the last year meaning that the current fleet has been ordered at an opportune time and at attractive prices. All the newbuilding contracts are based on firm yard prices.

We still see some inflation and shortages impacting the supply chains, however, there are signs that suppliers are now able to mitigate this impact going forward.

Edda Boreas (C490) is expected to be ready for operation in Q2 2023, with NB-C416 and NB C-491 during Q4 2023.

Subsequent events

The Group has not had any major events after the balance date that affect the accounts.

The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statement are presented in Euros, which is also the parent company's functional currency. For each entity within the Group, the Group has determined the functional currency based on the primary economic environment of which the entity operates. Items included in the financial statements are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency for the Group's entities are EUR, GBP and NOK.

The interim financial report is prepared on the assumption of a going concern.

Basic policies

Notes

(EUR 1,000)

Note 2 Revenue from contracts with customers

Operating income

The Group's revenue mainly derives from offering vessels and maritime personnel to the offshore wind sector under long-term chartering agreements. Under these agreements the Group delivers a vessel, including crew, to the customer. The customer determines, within the contractual limits, how the vessel is to be utilised. The Group is remunerated at an agreed daily rate for use of vessel, equipment, crew and other resources or services utilised under the contract. The Group's contracts also include victualling covering meals and bedding provided to customer personnel on board the vessel. The Group's revenue is split into a service element and lease element. The revenue is mainly recognised over time as the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

The Group also provides management services to companies outside of the Group. Remuneration for management services is classified as other operating income and recognised over time as performance obligation is satisfied over time.

The Group has one reportable segment being the Offshore Wind segment.

Leasing

In April 2021, the Group entered into a 12-month lease for the OSV vessel Edda Fjord from the related party West Supply VIII AS. The lease is in scope for IFRS 16, however, the Group elected to apply the recognition exemption for short-term leases and as such recognised the lease payments as an expense over the lease period. The vessel has been operating as frontrunner for Edda Breeze, and the lease was extended several times until Edda Breeze was delivered to the client on 31 March 2023. The lease of Edda Fjord was terminated on 30 March 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, the Group recognised a lease expense of EUR 2,973 thousand (2022: EUR 1,796 thousand).

On 28 July 2022 Edda Wind entered into an agreement with Colombo Dockyard PLC for the cancellation of two newbuilding contracts signed 31 January 2022. Under this agreement, Edda Wind will receive a compensation in excess of incurred project cost. EUR 500 thousand has been recognised during Q1 2023. The remaining agreed compensation is recognised as other operating income when payment is received.

Periodic maintenance Equipment Newbuildings

The depreciation schedule for vessels is 30 years straight-line depreciation. For periodic maintenance, the depreciation is set to five years based on time expected until next maintenance.

Vessels under construction ("newbuildings") are capitalised based on instalments paid to the shipyard and other costs directly attributable to the construction, including borrowing costs during the construction period. Capitalised cost for vessels under construction is reclassified to vessels when the vessel is delivered and ready for use. Vessels under construction are not subject to depreciation until the vessels are ready for use.

Impairment assessment

The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. As of 31 March 2023, the market capitalisation of the Group was below the book value of its equity. As a result, the Group performed an impairment test at the end of the first quarter of 2023 for each of its operational SOVs and newbuilds expected to be delivered in 2023.

As part of the assessment of vessel value, the Group has obtained broker values. When comparing broker values to book values, a substantial headroom is identified. To further support the broker values, the Group has performed an impairment test through a value in use calculation. Cash flows are estimated throughout the useful time of the vessels. The estimates for 2023 reflect the current market conditions. The Group has used a discount rate in the interval of 8.5%-10.0% for cash flows denominated in EUR and GBP. This is also an assumption when performing the impairment assessment. The recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount in the value-in-use calculation and thus the impairment test did not reveal any need for impairment.

Note 5 Fair value financial liabilities

The table below shows the Group's financial derivatives measured at fair value.

Financial liabilities at fair value 31.03.2023 31.12.2022
Financial liabilities/(financial assets) measured at fair value at 01.01 (71) 91
Changes in fair value through the income statement (+loss/-profit) (162)
Derecognition of interest swap due to expiration 71
Total financial liabilities/(financial assets) measured at fair value (71)

The Group's financial liabilities measured at fair value consists of an interest rate swap for a portion of the Group's interest-bearing debt to financial institutions in order to mitigate risk related to interest rate, as well as an outright foreign exchange contract. The interest swap expired in February 2023.

The fair value of financial instruments nominated in other currencies than EUR is determined based on the currency exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The financial instruments are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) and are based on level 2 inputs, consisting of third-party quotes. These quotes use observable market rates for price discovery. Specific valuation techniques used by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial derivatives include quoted market prices for similar derivatives, and calculations of the net present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.

The Group does not hold fair value financial assets or liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3).

All other financial assets and liabilities held by the Group are measured at amortised cost.

Note 11 Other circumstances

The delivery of Edda Breeze and Edda Brint to clients were postponed until end of March due to delayed delivery of the gangway systems. Following the delay, Edda Wind incurred liquidated damages for both vessels until delivery. As at 31 March 2023, Edda Wind has incurred a total of EUR 6.2 million in liquidated damages. The amount has been capitalised as other non-current assets and is recognised in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the contract period from the date the vessels were delivered to the clients.

The Group has also incurred additional ready-for-use costs due to prolonged construction periods. During Q1, the Group capitalised EUR 3.5 million in ready-for-use costs on Edda Breeze and Edda Brint, excluding yard instalments and ENOVA contributions.

In relation to one of the newbuildings, the Group has assumed payment obligations and purchased certain equipment directly in order to avoid delays in delivery. During first quarter of 2023, the obligation was reduced from EUR 2.4 million to EUR 0.6 million. The Group will be compensated for the assumed obligations through a loan agreement in the net amount of EUR 2.4 million paid over two years. As of 31 March 2023, the loan amount was EUR 2.1 million.
