2021 – CEO STATEMENT
2021 was another year where the COVID-19 pandemic affected the daily lives and operations of our personnel both at sea and on shore. Ensuring the health and safety of our employees during the pandemic, while still maintaining successful operations, was our continued priority. We were able to uphold our operations with no COVID-related downtime in 2021.
The safety of our employees and our operations constitute the foundation of all activities in Eidesvik. We are proud to have reached our goal of zero LTIs in 2021 much thanks to our seafarers' continuous focus on safety, a focus we strive to enhance every day.
Our financial performance has improved considerably in 2021 compared to the previous year. During Q3 we came to an agreement with our financial institutions for refinancing of our debt. With a combination of extension of debt maturities and reduced amortization payments, the agreed terms significantly strengthen the Group's financial position. We highly appreciate the support and confidence our financial institutions are showing us.
In January, 2022, we entered into a MoA with DEME, for the sale of Viking Neptun, following a letter of intent being entered into in December, 2021. The MoA is expected to complete in the 4th Quarter of 2022, post completion of the ongoing contract with Havfram, and the sale will further strengthen our financial position.
Eidesvik have for decades piloted and implemented environmental friendly solutions onboard our vessels to reduce our emissions. 2021 was not an exception, as we continued our work on the European innovation project ShipFC in addition to launching two new groundbreaking technology projects: Project Retrofit together with our client Aker BP and Project Apollo together with technology supplier Wärtsilä.
We also continued the electrification of our fleet with the installation of batteries on board two additional vessels.
Alongside this annual report, we release our first stand-alone ESG report. With this report, we aim to share valuable information on our approach to sustainability and be transparent with our progress. For Eidesvik sustainability is a strategic imperative for generating long-term value, and I am pleased to see that in 2021 we made good progress in this respect.
Our strategy is based on building long-term relationships with our customers. Our frame agreement with Aker BP utilised Viking Lady for the entire year and Viking Prince for most of the year. Furthermore, Viking Lady was awarded a new 3-year contract with Aker BP commencing in January 2022.
Viking Energy, Viking Avant and Viking Queen continued their work for our long-term client Equinor throughout the entire year.
In January 2021, Siemens Gamesa extended the fixed contract for Viking Wind Power (previously named Acergy Viking) from January 2022 to January 2027.
The start of 2022 have seen an ease in COVID-19 restrictions and necessary preventive measures. However, the geopolitical situation has changed dramatically since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We monitor the situation closely.
We have been through some challenging years and the contribution from everyone in the organization during these difficult times have been truly impressive. You have all stood up and made the efforts needed to ensure the safe and efficient execution of our commitments. I am very grateful to be part of such an excellent team and convinced we together are well prepared to take on whatever lies ahead.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2021
Eidesvik Offshore ASA's ("Eidesvik", the "Company" or the "Group") vision is to be a powerhouse for futureoriented shipping and marine operational solutions, and to position the Company at the front end of the development of zero emission shipping solutions. Our main goal is to increase and secure the Company's longterm financial and sustainable value creation, and thereby create the basis for further growth, secure jobs and increased shareholder value. We seek to achieve this by ensuring that our vessels have the highest possible degree of long-term employment on sustainable day rate levels.
Navigating through 2021 has been challenging for the Company's business, however the operational restraints related to Covid-19 were reduced compared to the previous year. As we entered 2022, we saw signs of improvements as the oil price had increased significantly. The geo-political situation in Europe has since changed considerably, pushing oil prices, among a multitude of commodities, to levels that are far above what anyone expected at the end of 2021. Public Policy in Western Europe is at the same time favouring non-Eastern supply, which should bode well for an increase in activity in the markets wherein the Company operates.
There is still however overcapacity in the segments where Eidesvik operates. Thus, a combination of increased activity and phasing out of older vessels will still be necessary in order to improve profitability in the industry. The Company continues to develop our strategic projects for environmentally friendly shipping to ensure we remain competitive in the current market as well as the expected future market.
In light of the negative development of the market and outlook early in 2020, Eidesvik entered into amendments to its credit facilities with all of the Group's financial institutions in June 2020 for the period from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. The Group deferred the instalments on all its credit facilities during said period to the end of 2022, amounting to approximately MNOK 90. Due to receipt of the cash proceeds from the PUT-option mentioned below, the unpaid deferred instalments became due and were paid in March 2021, and the remainder of the deferred instalments were paid according to the original schedule during the first half of 2021.
On August 27, 2021, Eidesvik announced that it had agreed on a term sheet ("Term Sheet") with its financial institutions for refinancing of its debt. With a combination of extension of debt maturities and reduced amortization payments, the agreed terms significantly strengthened the Group's financial position. On September 10, 2021, the final agreements and documentation were in place and the new terms for the Group's financing became effective.
The agreed terms provide mechanisms for extension of final maturities of debt facilities from the end of 2022 to the end of 2023, and there will be no final maturities until year end 2023. The extension is subject to Eidesvik meeting certain financial and operational triggers. Please see note 20 for further information.
THE BUSINESS
Eidesvik Offshore ASA is the parent company of the Eidesvik Group. The Company's purpose, according to its Articles of Association, is to "operate a shipping company and all that relates to this, including owning shares in companies operating similar or related businesses". This objective has been realised through 2021 by operating 16 vessels, with 14 vessels wholly or partly owned by the Eidesvik Group.
We aim to charter the vessels mainly on long-term contracts on sustainable day rate levelsin the Supply, Seismic and Subsea/Wind segments. Because of the weak market, more vessels have been operating on short-term contracts in 2021 compared to previous years. The announcements of the long term contract for Viking Wind Power (previous named Acergy Viking) for Siemens Gamesa in early 2021, and the 3-year contract for Viking Lady for Aker BP, were very welcome. At Year-End 2021, the Company had four seismic vessels in layup.
The sale of Global Seismic Shipping AS ("GSS") was completed on January 8, 2020. As consideration for Eidesvik's shares in GSS, Eidesvik received shares in Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS (Shearwater"). In January 2021, Eidesvik exercised the PUT-option for its shares in Shearwater effectively selling all its shares in Shearwater to CGG SA for a total consideration of USD 30 million in cash. The cash settlement was received in January 2021.
In January 2022, Eidesvik Neptun AS, a subsidiary of Eidesvik entered into a Memorandum of Agreement ("MoA) with Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering NV ("DEME"), for the sale of the CSV Viking Neptun. The
MoA is expected to complete in the 4th Quarter of 2022, post completion of the ongoing contract with Havfram. The sale will considerably strengthen the Company's financial position, and enable us to reinforce the strategic focus on pioneering new emissions-reducing technologies in the fleet.
Eidesvik's continuous work to develop feasible approaches for large-scale CO2 emission reductions in the fleet has commenced with full speed in 2021. In addition to the ongoing ShipFC project, Eidesvik launched three new technology projects within the use of new green fuels during 2021.
The Retrofit Project is a collaboration between Eidesvik and Aker BP, and the Retrofit's mission is to capture emission reductions of 70 percent or more on selected vessels.
As part of the Retrofit project, Eidesvik entered into a MoU with Aker BP and Alma in November 2021. The companies will explore retrofit installation of Alma's ammonia fuel cell technology on two offshore support vessels: Eidesvik-owned Viking Lady and Aker BP-owned NS Frayja currently under Eidesvik's management.
Eidesvik and the technology group Wärtsilä signed a cooperation agreement aimed at converting an offshore supply vessel to operate with ammonia-fuelled combustion engines, including fuel supply and safety system. The "Apollo" project will be the first of its kind ever in the world and has a provisional completion target of 2024.
Eidesvik's activities are managed from the headquarters in Langevåg at Bømlo. The shipping business is organised in accordance with the special tax rules for shipping companies in Norway. The vessels are owned by various ship-owning companies, and Eidesvik AS performs the general and business management functions for these companies.
The Group's wholly-owned subsidiaries had 424 permanent employees at the end of the year, and in addition there were 85 contracted workers. The Company and the industry encourage women to seek a maritime education. We currently have several women in leading positions. As part of an international industry, the employees in the Group represent many nationalities. Our focus is to make all employees, regardless of nationality, gender and cultural background, have equal career opportunities in the Group, and we see nothing to suggest that this is not the case.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
In 2021, the Company has focused on enhancing development of its work on health, safety and the environment. The quality and safety system "Eidesvik Management System" (EMS) certified by DNV. EMS meet requirements of ISM code, ISO standards: 9001-2015, 14001-2015, MLC 2006 and ISPS Code.
Throughout 2021, our EMS are built on "Simplified and improved safety management", and all of our operational vessels are using updated manuals for bridge, deck, engine, galley and crane operations as applicable. We receive very positive feedback from both users and clients. Required revisions considered on an ongoing basis, including new procedures as needed. Good working environments are established at all vessels, with focus on awareness and monitoring of health, safety and environmental aspects identified by Eidesvik.
The management is continuously carrying out awareness work within HSEQ, with a particular focus on the exchange of lessons learned, which facilitates continuous improvement.
Absence due to illness in 2021 was 8.1 %. This is a 18.5% increase from 2020 (6.6 %). The main part of the increase in 2021 is related to Covid-19 restrictions. The Company is maintaining the agreement with NAV on inclusive working life, which aims to follow up on absence due to illness.
The Company had zero lost time incident (LTI) in 2021 - a very well performance. Last year without any LTI was in 2016. This underlines the importance of a continuing strong focus on HSE in all parts of the Company's operations, to ensure all our employees are at same good health when travelling home as they were when they were travelling for work.
To avoid and prevent injuries, the main priorities in 2021 have been:
- Keeping and follow up on Protection Environmental Committee, HSE-QA meetings and safety inspection tours
- Basic safety requirements
- Compliance with the management tool throughout the organisation
- Familiarisation and training
- Focus on the "Safety observation" form of reporting, particularly proactive reports
- "Time out for safety" meetings
- Increased understanding and execution of risk assessments
- "Tool box talks" as a last barrier before any task starts
- "Stop the job" obligations for all
- Continuous focus on safety representatives, safety and environmental work
- Work on board carried out according to the Company's "permit to work system"
External environment
Eidesvik has a targeted environmental focus in its operations. Eidesvik has continued its efforts to develop environmentally friendly and energy efficient vessels.
Our operations at sea are operated in accordance with international and national laws and regulations. To reduce the risk of accidents, we focus on preventive maintenance, as well as manning the vessels with highly qualified personnel. Eidesvik is constantly working to reduce the total emission balance associated with operating our vessels.
The blue:E scheme, the Company's programme for environmentally friendly operations, has continued with the same focus and resource usage in 2021. blue:E is important to the Company's goal of running our business in the most environmentally friendly whilst cost-effective way. Awareness of energy efficiency and its impact on both the environment and costs is increasing, and this focus has become an important part of day-to-day operations.
All vessels in Eidesvik's fleet are approved according to the new IMO requirements for energy efficiency. This is in line with the Company's blue:E initiative.
The ESI (Environmental Ship Index) is recognised by the Norwegian Coastal Administration and many ports as the basis for environmental differentiation of fees/rates. 10 of our vessels are registered in ESI, all with a very favourable environmental profile. This has given us a lot of positive publicity, and shows that it is possible to reduce costs through environmentally responsible choices.
A separate ESG report has been prepared, and an extract of the report is included in the annual report. Please read more about Eidesvik's impact, and our actions for reducing the impact, on the external environment in the extract. The full report is available on the Eidesvik website.
In addition, a separate HSEQ report has been prepared, and is included in the annual report.

PROFIT & LOSS, BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL RISK
The consolidated accounts have been submitted in accordance with IFRS, as approved by the EU. The Company accounts for the parent company Eidesvik Offshore ASA are submitted in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.
Profit & loss
Consolidated operating income for Eidesvik in 2021 is MNOK 587.8 (MNOK 530.8 in 2020), of which MNOK 12.4 is related to a reversal of previous impairment on repayments received from Oceanic Seismic Vessels AS (MNOK 20.3).
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for 2021 were MNOK 178.7 (MNOK 131.1 in 2020). Depreciation and amortisation totalled MNOK 64.2 in 2021 (MNOK 328.3), whereof MNOK 220.7 was related to the reversed impairments on Viking Neptun. Profits from joint ventures were MNOK -5.9 (MNOK -5.2). This gives a total operating result of MNOK 108.6 in 2021 (MNOK -202.4).
Due to observed impairment indicators, the vessels' book values were tested for impairment per December 31, 2021. Based on these tests, impairments of MNOK 76.9 related to four vessels have been recorded to the accounts in 2021, compared to impairments of MNOK 120.7 related to eight vesselsin 2020. This covered vessels in two of three segments where the Company owns vessels.
The net financial result of MNOK -77.9 in 2021 (MNOK 67.8 in 2020) includes financial income of MNOK 10.5 (MNOK 116.1, whereof MNOK 106.7 of financial income was related to the sale of GSS and the associated translation differences in the joint venture – the effect was reversed in Comprehensive Income, and had no effect on the Total equity). Financial and interest expenses were MNOK -50.8 (MNOK -119.3), and the net gain/loss on currency and derivatives was MNOK -37.6 (MNOK 71.0).
Profit/loss after tax was MNOK 30.7 in 2021 (MNOK -132.4 in 2020) and total comprehensive income was MNOK 40.6 (MNOK -220.5).
Taken in the effect of the reversed impairments of MNOK 220.7, the results reflect that the market for the Company's services continued to be challenging also in 2021.
For the parent company Eidesvik Offshore ASA, the profit/loss after tax was MNOK -6.5 (MNOK -12.7).
Balance sheet
The consolidated book equity is MNOK 521.1 per December 31, 2021 (MNOK 480.5 per December 31, 2020). This is 19% (16%) of the Group's total capital. For the parent company, Eidesvik Offshore ASA, the equity is MNOK 470.8 (MNOK 477.3).
Vessels account for MNOK 1,931.0 (whereof MNOK 1,022.5 is classified as Assets held for sale), an increase of MNOK 8.1. The increase is primarily due to reversed impairments on Viking Neptun. Current assets decreased by MNOK 346.1, mainly due to the sale of the Shearwater shares in January 2021 and debt repayments. Total assets are MNOK 2,750.6 (MNOK 3,097.1), a reduction of MNOK 346.5.
Impairment tests are performed on individual cash generating entities (vessels) when indications of impairment are identified. At December 31, 2021, indicators of impairment were still present and the Group's assessment of impairment was updated. The value in use calculations of the consolidated fleet concluded with impairment charges of MNOK 76.9 per December 31, 2021 (MNOK 120.7 per December 31, 2021). Refer to note 12 for further information.
An average of fair value assessments conducted by two independent brokers, values the consolidated part of the fleet free of charters to NOK 2,812 million per December 31, 2021 (MNOK 2,727 per December 31, 2020), which would indicate an excess value before tax of MNOK 881 (MNOK 804) compared to the book value of the vessels (the book values are tested against value in use calculations). The Board is aware of the low turnover for the type of vessels Eidesvik owns, and that there is significant uncertainty regarding the vessels' actual market values in the current market.
The Group's non-current liabilities are MNOK 1,095.3 per December 31, 2021 (MNOK 2,267.4 per December 31, 2020). The decrease is mainly a result of instalments and the reclassification from non-current liabilities to liabilities related to assets held for sale of MNOK 840.7 (MNOK 0). Current liabilities are MNOK 293.5 (MNOK 349.2).
The parent company's assets are MNOK 646.0 per December 31, 2021 (MNOK 649.5 per December 31, 2020). The company's assets consist mainly of investments in and loans to subsidiaries, financial investments and cash. The company has liabilities of MNOK 175.2 (MNOK 172.1). This consists of non-current liabilities of MNOK 165.0 (MNOK 171.3) and current liabilities of MNOK 10.2 (MNOK 0.9). The company's equity is MNOK 470.8 (MNOK 477.3), which gives an equity ratio of 73% (73%).
Cash flow
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from MNOK 429.2 December 31, 2020, to MNOK 330.4 December 31, 2021, whereof MNOK 9.4 is restricted cash and MNOK 17.9 is funding restricted to the ShipFC ammonia project.
Net cash flow from operating activities for 2021 was MNOK 151.3 (MNOK 247.5).
Net cash flow from investment activities of MNOK 228.5 (MNOK -77.5) was mainly due to investments and periodic maintenance on existing vessels, payment of long-term receivables and sale of the shares in Shearwater.
The Group has a negative cash flow from financing activities of MNOK -480.8 (MNOK -156.1). This is mainly related to paid instalments and interests.
The parent company has cash and cash equivalents of MNOK 138.2 (MNOK 34.4). This is an increase of MNOK 103.8.
Profit allocation
The Board proposes that the loss for the year of MNOK -6.5 for Eidesvik Offshore ASA is transferred from other equity.
Going concern
During 2021, the oil price increased to levels around the pre-pandemic level, and the levels have further increased in 2022 due to the major requirement for stable energy supplies. The demand side for all of the Groups segments is expected to increase over the coming years. The oversupply of vessels is however still significant, and will need to decrease for day rates to improve to levels which are sustainable over time for our industry.
In 2021, the Group entered into an agreement with all of the financial institutions. With a combination of extension of debt maturities and reduced amortization payments, the agreed terms significantly strengthened the Group's financial position. In addition, the Group's liquidity position will further improve from the completion of the sale of Viking Neptun.
Based on this, the Group's contract backlog, and the forecast for the next 12 months including the high probability of the Company qualifying for an extension of final maturities of debt facilities to the end of 2023, the Board is of the opinion that the conditions for a going concern are present, and the financial statements have been prepared based on this assumption.
Financial risk
Currency risk
In 2021, Eidesvik had itsrevenues in NOK, USD and EUR. Operating costs are mainly in NOK. Eidesvik is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates between NOK and the other currencies. In order to mitigate the risk, cash flow hedges have been established by having parts of the Group's long-term financing in USD. Forward contracts are also made where parts of the operational income in USD and EUR are presold with settlement in NOK.
Credit risk
Eidesvik's customers are mainly solid companies with good solvency. The risk that the counterparties do not have the financial capacity to fulfil their obligations is considered low.
Liquidity risk
The liquidity position is assessed as satisfactory for the next 12 months considering the agreed refinancing in 3rd Quarter 2021, and also the expected improved liquidity position after completion of the sale of Viking Neptun.
Other risks
Eidesvik is exposed to other risks, as market and operational risks, including cyber security risk. In addition, the Company experience increase in both expenses and lead time from suppliers, primarily as a consequence of the geopolitical situation related to the war in Ukraine.
Please see Note 3 for further information.
FRAMEWORK CONDITIONS
Access to and development of highly qualified personnel are vital to ensuring good operation and delivery of an optimum product, helping our customers to a better overall result. In order to ensure that Norwegian maritime competence is also developed and utilised in the future, the industry is dependent on stable and predictable framework conditions. The availability of training positions is vital to building up expertise over time, even in a cyclical industry.
Eidesvik currently employs both Norwegian and international crew on board its vessels.
The entire petro maritime cluster, oil companies, shipping firms, shipyards and other oil service companies, will depend on building up maritime competence in the future.
Legislation on net pay schemes is a positive move on the part of the political authorities. However, Eidesvik believes that net pay schemes should be further reinforced.
Historically, the Company has been at the forefront of increasing the recruitment of Norwegian seamen. Considerable resources have been allocated to this work through initiatives to increase the incentives for young
people to choose a maritime education. The Company cooperates in various forums to strengthen and enhance Norwegian maritime competence. At the same time, the industry is experiencing increasing international competition, not least when it comes to expertise and costs. It is important for further investment in Norwegian maritime competence in the future that the framework conditions should be organised in such a way as to make it attractive for the industry to build up Norwegian maritime competence over time.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Company's core values and ethical policy are set out in "Ethical guidelines and core values for Eidesvik Offshore ASA", and its social responsibility policy is covered by the "Human rights policy" and "Environmental policy". These state that the work of achieving the business goals must be carried out to high ethical standard and in a manner calculated to safeguard the environment and society. This means that we should act with respect and honesty towards customers, suppliers, employees, authorities, owners and society, and that the Company and the individual should comply with relevant legislation. The policy states that the Company and the individual employee should refrain from all forms of corruption, and sets out how the Company's employees should act if they are offered gifts or other benefits because of their employment.
It is further stated that the Company and all employees must comply with all recognised rules for human rights, including refraining from all forms of discrimination.
No breaches of the Company's ethical policies were recorded in 2021.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND OUTLOOK
Eidesvik owns and operates vessels in the three segments of Supply, Subsea/Wind and Seismic.
Supply
At year end 2021, Eidesvik operated 8 large supply vessels. Out of the supply vessels, 5 run on LNG, and all 8 have batteries and hybrid solutions installed. Batteries and hybrid solutions were installed on board the 8th vessel, Viking Prince, in January 2022.
Viking Lady was on contract with Aker BP under the frame agreement the entire year, and commenced a 3-year contract for Aker BP in January 2022 which was awarded in 3rd Quarter 2021.
Viking Prince was on contract with Aker BP for most of 2021, and in January 2022 batteries and hybrid solutions were installed on board the vessel. In the 1st Quarter 2022, Viking Prince worked for Aker BP as a substitute vessel during Viking Lady's docking, and in the spot market. In March 2022, Eidesvik received a 6 months firm contract for the vessel with Equinor, with further options for extensions. Commencement was April 2022.
Viking Avant was on charter to Equinor entire 2021, and will continue on this charter until year end 2022.
Viking Queen worked for Equinor for most of 2021, and is on contract with Equinor to May 2022, with options for extensions.
Viking Energy worked for Equinor entire 2021, as it has done since the vessel was delivered in 2003. The firm contract for the vessel is to April 2025.
Viking Princess worked for Wintershall entire 2021. Wintershall declared options to extend the contract to January 2023, and has further options for extensions.
The effects of the combination of Covid-19 and the low oil-prices, which hit the market severely in 2020, continued throughout 2021. Although we saw a decent increase in number of fixtures during the last three quarters of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, the increase in demand was to some extent offset with vessels taken out of lay-up. Hence, vessel utilization and rate levels were overall below sustainable levels, although improved compared to in 2020.
We expect market improvements in the year to come driven by increase in rig activity both for exploration and development on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The Norwegian authorities' support package for the oil and gas industry will have a positive impact on the activity levels with gradual market improvements from 2022.
Operators' preference for large and environmental friendly supply vessels are beneficial drivers for the Company's supply fleet.
Subsea/Wind
Eidesvik currently has 4 vessels in the Subsea/Wind segment, of which one is owned in a JV with Subsea 7 (50/50).
Viking Neptun started 2021 working for DEME Offshore in the offshore wind market, and commenced a contract for Havfram in April 2021. Viking Neptun worked for Havfram until December 2021, before commencing a firm contract for Havfram for approximately 9 months in the start of January 2022.
On January 12, 2022, Eidesvik Neptun AS, a subsidiary of Eidesvik, entered into a MoA with DEME, for the sale of Viking Neptun, following a letter of intent being entered into between DEME and Eidesvik on December 23, 2021. The MoA is expected to complete in the 4th Quarter of 2022, post completion of the ongoing contract with Havfram.
Viking Wind Power has been contracted to Siemens Gamesa all year, which extended the fixed contract in January 2021 from January 2022 to January 2027. Viking Wind Power has in the 1st Quarter 2022 been through installation of batteries and hybrid solutions, docking, and a major conversion towards the offshore wind market.
Subsea Viking worked for Seabed Geosolutions the entire year, and was most of the year offshore Brazil. In December 2021, the vessel entered into a stand-by contract, and will in April 2022 commence a firm contract for PXGEO for 100 days, with further options for extensions.
Seven Viking is on contract for Subsea 7 to 2025 with a 1-year option thereafter.
The activity in the subsea market remained affected by COVID-19 and oil prices that remained low in 2020 and the first half of 2021. As a result, projects have been deferred over the last couple of years. The overall utilization level in 2021 was in line with 2020 with a slight improvement towards the end of the year. In the second half of 2021 we experienced an increase in tender activities for long term contracts. We expect that to continue and the market to improve from 2022 and onwards.
The wind market experiences a growing demand for vessels as new offshore windmill parks are developed and commissioned.
Seismic
Within this segment, Eidesvik owned 4 vessels 100% at year end, whereof all were in layup.
Veritas Viking was taken out of layup in 2nd Quarter 2021, and commenced a bareboat contract for approximately five months in June 2021. The vessel has thereafter been in layup. In March 2022, Eidesvik received a firm bareboat contract with commencement in April 2022 for Veritas Viking for 100 days, with further options for extensions
Vantage, Viking Vision and Viking Vanquish have been in layup throughout the year.
By year end 2021 we experienced increased tender activities in the ocean bottom seismic segment which may indicate that the activity level will increase for this segment as well.

HSEQ REPORT FOR 2021
INTRODUCTION
The quality and safety system "Eidesvik Management System" is certified by DNV to meet the requirements of the ISM Code, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, MLC 2006 and the ISPS Code.
Throughout 2021, our EMS are built on "Simplified and improved safety management", and all of our operational vessels are using updated manuals for bridge, deck, engine, galley and crane operations as applicable. We receive very positive feedback from both users and clients. Required revisions considered on an ongoing basis, including new procedures as needed. Good working environments are established at all vessels, with focus on awareness and monitoring of health, safety and environmental aspects identified by Eidesvik.
Eidesvik has prepared an annual HSEQ program that specifically addresses future focus areas, including "Key Performance Indicators" ("KPIs"). The KPIs are communicated to all vessels and departments, and posted in public areas both on vessels and at office. Eidesvik focuses on a strong commitment to the HSEQ program in order to achieve the goals within the various areas. The guiding documents are continuously evaluated in order to ensure optimal and functioning operating procedures for the employees both offshore and onshore.
The Company had zero lost time incident (LTI) in 2021 - a very well performance. Last year with any LTI was in 2016. This underlines the importance of a continuing strong focus on HSE in all parts of the Company's operations, to ensure all our employees are at same good health when travelling home for leave as they were when joining.

The statistic below illustrates the number of personal injuries per million working hours over the last 5 years.

Emphasising the analysis of causal relations and underlying causes are important as a basis for lessons learned to other vessels within Eidesvik. Focusing on operations and compliance with the EMS are important accompanying measures. In addition to preventing injuries, we also focus on the following actions:
- Focus on "safety observations" reporting method, especially proactive reports. This has contributed to an increase in reporting. Reports are reviewed at safety meetings on board. In 2021, 4,434 "safety observations" were reported; whereof 52% was proactive. This constitutes a large percentage of the total number of reports in the HSEQ field.
- Extensive use of risk analysis. All vessels and office are analysing tasks/jobs to avoid accidents/ injuries, and any hazards are highlighted and actions are implemented to reduce and/or remove the hazards. In 2021, 883 new and/or revised risk analysis were done.
- By holding "Tool Box Talk" meetings ("TBT"), this help us to avoid accidents and injuries. The people executing the jobs are also doing the planning and receive information on potential hazards in connection with the job. Total number of TBT in 2021 was 20,154.
- Work on board is performed according to a "Permit to Work" system ("PTW"). This help us to avoid accidents and injuries. Everyone needs to obtain permission from the vessel's management before performing jobs that could cause a risk to personnel, environment and vessel.
INCIDENT REPORTING
In 2021, 600 incident reports in all categories were logged. In addition, 618 document of change requests were submitted from vessels and from the office. The office issued 37 experience feedback reports to vessels and office. The incident, near miss, improvement suggestion, document of change request, and improvement suggestions and lesson learned reports are a positive foundation for learning and implementing specific actions to avoid reoccurrences. A strong and healthy culture for reporting enables the organisation to identify developments and trends within specific operations or tasks. This is used to improve areas in order to prevent incidents from recurring. Reporting of incidents has a preventive effect, and the Company has a strong focus on this.
QUALITY
Our goal is to provide services of a quality that exceeds the customer's expectations, and we follow up on surveys of customer satisfaction from every vessel and crew. Quality is to do the job right first time.
WORK ENVIRONMENT ACTIONS
Please read about Eidesvik's work environment actionsin the extractto the ESG report. The full report is available on the Eidesvik website.
SICK LEAVE
Absence due to illness in 2021 was 8.1%. This is an increase of 18.5% from 2020 (6.6%). The main part of the increase in 2021 is related to Covid-19 restrictions.
Eidesvik has high focus on preventive actions and closer follow-up from company and management in order to increase attendance at work. Employees have also been enabled to subscribe to private health services, as well as cover for physiotherapy. Eidesvik's occupational health service is an important support in these efforts.

SUSTAINABILITY AT EIDESVIK
Eidesvik works proactively to ensure that ESG is included in all its operations. The company has established policies and procedures to ensure a consistent ESG management and risk mitigation.
Sustainability is anchored with the Board of Directors (BoD) and the Executive Management Team. The CEO, together with the Executive Management Team, has the overall responsibility for the integration of sustainability into Eidesvik's operations, to set priorities, targets and drive implementation, and for including sustainability in core processes related to strategy, planning and risk management.
Eidesvik prioritizes the areas within ESG that are most material to its industry, and where the company can have the most significant impact. Eidesvik's priorities are also guided by those topics that can have a financial impact on our operations. Overall, Eidesvik's sustainability work is focused on the following priorities:
- Be a safe and fair employer
- Reduce our emissions
- Contribute to the energy transition
- Be a responsible partner
The priority areas are based on a materiality assessment that was conducted in 2021, which included stakeholder dialogue with employees, suppliers, customers, selected associations, and investors. Following the materiality assessment, Eidesvik involved all areas of operations to define KPIs related to the material sustainability topics. The company will start reporting on these KPIs from 2022.
In a broader perspective Eidesvik aims to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"), and the company has prioritized five SDGs to which it can contribute the most:
- SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth
- SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
- SDG 13 Climate Action
- SDG 14 Life below water
- SDG 17 Partnership for the goals

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The shipping industry may have negative implication for both human and ecosystem health in the form of emissions, pollution, spills and discharges. The company's ability to manage these risks and to mitigate the negative environmental impact is critical not only for the environment, but for Eidesvik's business.
Eidesvik strives to be a powerhouse for future oriented shipping and marine operational solutions, and to position the company at the forefront of the development of zero-emission shipping solutions. To reach this goal, the company is actively engaged in both reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its fleet, and to contribute with the development of new technology that will reduce emissions across the industry.
The ambition is to have a climate neutral fleet by 2050 and to reduce emissions by 50% in 2030, compared to a 2008 baseline. In 2021, Eidesvik's emissions totalled 97 082 metric tonnes CO2. While this is an increase from the previous year due to increased activity, we are seeing a decline in emission intensity indicators. Overall, the CO2 emissions per nautical mile has decreased from 0.426 tonnes CO2/nautical mile in 2020 to 0.324 in 2021. The CO2 emissions per operational day has decreased from 34.78 tonnes CO2/operational day in 2020 to 29.83
1 The largest spill of 4m3 was spillage of water-based mud. This incident was related to a broken mudhouse during discharging to rig. The other spills were caused by leaking hydraulic oil during ROV operations (couplings).
2 The number of Total Reportable Cases per million Exposure Hours worked during the period (excluding first aid)
in 2021. Eidesvik aims to reduce this year by year. Due to the scope of operations for offshore vessels, the GHG emissions intensity indicators used by the IMO, such as the AER, are not considered suitable, and Eidesvik has chosen to monitor CO2 emissions per nautical mile and per operational day as these better reflect the development.
Emissions from Eidesvik's vessels are directly linked to energy efficiency, and the focus is on:
- The Eidesvik Energy Efficiency Programme blue:E (EEEP) a set of measures to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions has been defined and implemented on each vessel.
- Retrofitting installing battery hybrid systems and shore-based power systems on our existing fleet
- o 83% of our vessels in operations have battery hybrid systems installed
- o 64% of our vessels in operation can utilise shore-based power
- Research and development of new technologies and use of new green fuels
Eidesvik's continuous work to develop feasible approaches for large-scale CO2 emission reductions in our fleet has commenced with full speed in 2021. During the year, we launched three new technology projects within the use of new green fuels.
The Retrofit Project: Aker BP & Eidesvik - Eidesvik and E&P company Aker BP launched the ambitious joint technology project "Retrofit" in mid-2021. Retrofit's mission is to capture emission reductions of 70 percent or more on selected vessels. The work to map available new technologies from a cost-benefit perspective is now well under way. The project is based on the belief that large emissions reduction can be achieved, as well as save CapEX, by prolonging the lifetime of existing vessels with new green technologies.
Apollo Project - In October 2021, Eidesvik and the technology group Wärtsilä signed a cooperation agreement aimed at converting an offshore supply vessel to operate with ammoniafuelled combustion engines, including fuel supply and safety system. The "Apollo" project will be the first of its kind ever in the world and has a provisional completion target of 2024. The supply vessel considered for the retrofit currently has Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines operating primarily with LNG fuel. The conversion will allow the vessel to operate with a 70 percent ammonia blend, cutting its CO2 emissions by 70 %.
Ammonia Fuel Cell Project - As part of the Retrofit project, Eidesvik entered into a MoU with Aker BP and Alma in November 2021 to explore opportunities for utilising Alma's fuel cell technology to accelerate the move to zero emissions shipping. Specifically, the companies will explore retrofit installation of Alma's ammonia fuel cell technology on two offshore support vessels: Eidesvik-owned Viking Lady and Aker BP-owned NS Frayja currently under Eidesvik's management.
Eidesvik recognizes that climate changes can have risks on the company business strategy. This is why Eidesvik in 2021 conducted a climate risk review in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Please see the 2021 ESG report for the full review.
Efforts go beyond focusing on carbon emissions. The company aims to minimize any forms of pollution to air and sea. Eidesvik complies with all laws and regulations related to waste management and air pollution, and the company has established a plan to be compliant with the Ballast Water Management Convention. Eidesvik uses
LNG and low-sulfur emissions to fuel its vessels, which result in less emissions of SOx, NOx and PM. The aim is to have zero spills, and the company has systems in place to mitigate the risks of such events happening. If spills do happen, the incidents are reviewed so that the organization can learn from them.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Safety is Eidesvik's number one priority. The company's personnel often operate under challenging conditions, particularly when working on board our vessels. This requires the highest levels of diligence to ensure that our crew return home safe. Eidesvik works systematically with health and safety to mitigate risks that can expose our employees to injuries or health related challenges. The Executive Management Team is focused on incident reporting, training, awareness work and sharing best practice across the fleet to prevent incidents from happening. Our quality and safety system "Eidesvik Management System" (EMS) is certified by DNV GL and meets the requirements of the ISM code, ISO standards: 9001-2015, 14001-2015, MLC 2006 and ISPS Code.
Eidesvik's Lost time incident rate (LTI) was 0 in 2021. Absence due to illness was 8.1%. Eidesvik is focused on preventive actions, both related to the physical and psycho-social working environment, and closer follow-up from the company and management to increase attendance at work.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Eidesvik believes that creating a diverse and inclusive working environment where all employees feel valued and have equal career opportunities is not only the right thing to do, but also financially beneficial for the company.
Eidesvik's priorities in this area include:
- High focus on retaining and developing employees.
- Ensure high quality leadership in all levels of the organization.
- Securing an inclusive and safe working environment for all.
- Maintaining a dynamic apprentice program through the availability of a wide range of trainee and cadet positions.
- Supporting competence development through a combination of formal training, on the job training and own initiative.
Eidesvik uses the Employee Net Promoter Score as a measure for employee wellbeing. The aim is a score above 30. In 2021, the score achieved was 37, a slight increase from 34 in 2020. Eidesvik aims to give all employees the opportunity to participate in annual performance and career development reviews. In 2021, 70% of employees completed such reviews. Eidesvik is focused on career development and aimsto recruit internally/by promotions whenever possible.
EQUALITY AND INCLUSION
Eidesvik considers it a competitive advantage to have a diverse team, and does not discriminate based on race, caste, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, union membership or political affiliation. In 2021, Eidesvik experienced zero breaches of the Human Resources Policy on gender, age and ethnicity.
At the end of 2021, Eidesvik employed 471 people, females accounted for 13% (61). The male domination of the shipping industry is reflected in these figures. At the Executive Management level 20% were female and at Management level 48% were female in 2021. No employees at Eidesvik are employed on a part-time or temporary basis.
Eidesvik analyses the gender pay gaps of its employees. A salary comparison of employees at all levels shows that women's income was 79% to that of men's in 2021.
Eidesvik has guidelines in place for salary placement and salary adjustment, which is outlined in the company's Employee Handbook, which is based on our HR policy and Code of Conduct. Eidesvik determines each employee's salary individually after a fair judgement of the persons' qualifications, including competence, performance, results and responsibility.
The majority of Eidesvik's employees are seafarers. All seafarers are covered by collective bargaining agreements between the Norwegian Shipowners' Association and the seafarer's unions, who set wage agreements that a company cannot deviate from. These agreements ensure equal treatment in relation to wages and working conditions.
Onshore employees have been divided into "Management" and "Other employees". For Managers, women's income was 89% to that of men's in 2021. The group "Other employees" consists of job categories with large variations in competence requirements, pay levels and differences regarding what positions are held by women and men, such as technical specialists and administrative positions. Technical specialists have substantial specialized competence and experience, and thus have a higher pay compared to administrative positions. These positions are typically held by individuals with experience as seafarers at management level, whereof the majority are men. The majority of administrative positions in Eidesvik are held by women.
| Group | Total number of | Females | Men | Ratio of basic salary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| employees | of women to men | |||
| Management | 21 | 10 | 11 | 89% |
| Other employees | 28 | 12 | 16 | 65% |
Table: Gender pay gap ratio for onshore employees
1 female and 2 men have taken parental leave in 2021. The average number of weeks for females was 52 weeks, while for men this figure was 9.5 weeks.
A full description of the Company's work with equality and inclusion can be found in the 2021 ESG report.
LABOUR CONDITIONS AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Eidesvik aims to carry out its business in a way that supports and respects the protection of international proclaimed human rights. We do not engage in, or support the use of, child labour, and support the elimination of all forms of forced labour, as outlined in Eidesvik's Code of Conduct. Eidesvik has measures in place to ensure that all our employees, onshore and offshore, are working under conditions that meet the requirements set out in the International Labour Conventions and the Maritime Labour Conventions. Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining is respected and outlined in the Code of Conduct. In 2021, Eidesvik did not conduct operations in countries with heightened risk of human rights violations.
In 2022, Eidesvik will focus on implementing measures to ensure compliance with the Norwegian Transparency Law that comes into force in July this year. This includes the development of a Supplier Code of Conduct, which will incorporate human rights and other topics related to business ethics and environmental issues.
BUSINESS ETHICS AND ANTI-CORRUPTION
Eidesvik is committed to operating with the highest ethical standards in all its operations. The Code of Conduct is the main governing document outlining our principles, rules and expectations regarding ethical business practices. Eidesvik conducts its business in compliance with all anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations including, but not limited to, the UK Bribery Act 2010, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977, the Norwegian Penalty code section 276 a – 276 c and other legislation applicable to our industry.

Note 2 - Accounting principles
The most important accounting principles used in the preparation of the consolidated accounts are described below. These principles are applied in the same way in all periods presented, unless otherwise stated in the description.
2.1 Main principles
The consolidated accounts of the Eidesvik Offshore Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated accounts have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost principle, however, it has been modified for the following: financial derivatives and financial assets classified as "fair value through the profit and loss account", which have been valuated at fair value.
An asset is presented as short-term if it is expected to be realised within twelve months of the balance sheet date as part of ordinary operations, if it is an asset owned with purchase and sale as its main purpose, or if it is cash or cash equivalents.
Debt is presented as short-term if there is no unconditional right to postpone payment at least twelve months from the balance sheet date, or it is a debt with purchase and sale as its main purpose. Long-term debt is reclassified as short-term debt when there are 12 months left to maturity. The same applies to the first year's repayment on long-term debt maturing within twelve months from the balance sheet date.
The accounts are prepared in accordance with IFRS. This means that the management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, debt, income, expenses, and information on potential liabilities.
Cash flow statements are prepared according to the direct method.
2.2 Principles of consolidation
The consolidated accounts include parent company Eidesvik Offshore ASA and companies controlled by Eidesvik Offshore ASA. Control is obtained when the Group is exposed to, or is entitled to, variable return resulting from the Group's involvement, and the Group is able to influence the return through its influence in the Company.
a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities where the Group has controlling influence on the entity's financial and operational strategy, normally through owning more than half the voting capital. When determining whether there is controlling influence, one includes the effect of potential voting rights which can be exercised or converted on the balance sheet date. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the time control is transferred to the Group, and are excluded from consolidation when control ceases. Stocks and shares in subsidiaries are recorded at cost, and eliminated against the equity of the subsidiary at the time of takeover or establishment.
b) Joint ventures
A joint arrangement is either a joint operation or a joint venture. Companies where the Group has joint control with another party, are defined as joint ventures, as it has rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint ventures exist if there is 50/50 ownership, or if it is otherwise regulated so that the parties have joint control. Investments in joint ventures are recognised in accordance with the equity method. The Group does not capitalise its share of deficits if this means that the capitalised value of the investment will be negative (including unhedged receivables on the entity), unless the Group has assumed liabilities or provided guarantees for the joint venture's liabilities.
c) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests' (minority interests) share of the equity is shown on a separate line in the Group's equity. Non-controlling interests include the minority share of the capitalised value of subsidiaries, including the share of identifiable added value at the time of acquisition of a subsidiary.
2.3 Segment Information
Segments are reported in the same way as for reporting to the Company's supreme decision maker. The Board is defined as the Company's supreme decision maker, and is responsible for allocating resources and assessment of earnings in the various segments. The Group's reporting format is associated with business areas, secondary information associated with geographical areas is not used, as this does not make sense strategically. The three primary operating segments are divided into Supply vessels (PSV), Subsea/Wind, and Seismic. In addition to this, other activities, which includes, among other things, vessels under construction, is placed in a separate segment.
As the joint ventures are significant with regard to the core activities, gross figures from underlying companies are included in segment information.
2.4 Conversion of foreign currencies
a) Functional currency and presentation currency
The accounts of the individual entities in the Group are measured in the currency mainly used in the economic area where the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated accounts are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is both the functional currency and the presentation currency of the parent company. In order to calculate the share of profit from joint ventures, balance sheet figures in a different currency are translated at the exchange rate of the balance sheet date, while profit and loss items are translated at the quarterly average exchange rate. Translation differences are recognised as other income or costs directly in the equity.
b) Transactions and balance sheet items
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the transaction exchange rate. Currency gain and loss occurring when paying such transactions, and when translating monetary items (assets and liabilities) in foreign currencies at year end on the balance sheet date, are recognised. Monetary items and liabilities in other currencies are translated at the exchange rate of the balance sheet date.
Currency gains and losses are included in the income statement as "Net currency gain/loss".
2.5 Vessels, depreciation and other fixed assets
Vessels and other fixed assets are recognised at historical cost minus accumulated depreciation and impairments. Each part of the asset that has material share of the total cost is depreciated separately and linearly over the useful life of the asset. Components with the same useful life are depreciated as one component. The depreciation period and method are evaluated at each balance sheet date to ensure that the method and the period used correspond with the financial realities for the asset. The same applies to scrap value, which is subject to an annual assessment.
| Estimated useful life: | |
|---|---|
| Vessels | 15-30 years |
| Property/fixtures | 5-20 years |
| Equipment | 3-5 years |
| Periodic maintenance | 30-60 months |
| Port facilities | N/A |
At the time of delivery for new vessels, an amount corresponding to the expected cost at the first ordinary classification/periodic maintenance is separated. This amount is depreciated over the period until the next docking date. Costs associated with subsequent periodic maintenance are capitalised and depreciated until the next periodic maintenance, generally over 30–60 months. Costs of ongoing maintenance and minor repairs and maintenance are expensed as they incur.
2.6 Assets held for sale
Non-current assets held for sale consist of vessels that have been decided to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise. Noncurrent assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and their fair value less costs of disposal. Any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value less cost of disposal is recognized as an impairment loss. Depreciation of such assets is discontinued as from their classification as held for sale.
Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i) Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straightline basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the assets, as follows:
| Buildings | 0,5-32 years |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | 8-17 months |
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of lowvalue assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a lessor
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
2.6 Impairment of fixed assets
The book value of tangible fixed assets is assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that book value cannot be recovered. If such indications are discovered, and the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired to the recoverable amount, which for tangible fixed assets is the higher of expected net sales price and value in use. Value in use is calculated as the present value of future cash flows. If the reason for the impairment lapses at a later time, and the lapse can be tied to an event taking place after the impairment is recognised, the previous impairment is reversed.
2.7 Sale of vessels
Profit or loss on the sale of vessels is recorded on the line of other income.
2.8 New builds
Vessels under construction are capitalised as instalments are paid, along with costs directly associated with the construction, such as supervision, other construction costs and interest on external financing during the construction period. The capitalised value is reclassified to vessels when the vessel is delivered from the shipyard and is ready for use. Depreciation of vessels starts on the same date.
2.9 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. Fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) is not relevant for the Group.
The Group uses derivatives such as currency contracts and interest swaps to reduce the risk associated with currency and interest rate fluctuations. The derivatives are presented as an asset with a positive value or a liability with a negative value.
a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired primarily to make a profit from short-term price fluctuations, or if the management chooses to classify it in this category. Derivatives are also classified as 'held for trading'. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or if they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Profit or loss from changes in fair value of assets classified as "financial assets at fair value through profit and loss", including interest income and dividends, is included in the income statement under "change in value, derivatives" in the period where they occur.
b) Financial assets at amortised cost
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are "solely payments of principal and interest" ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments that are not traded on an active market. They are classified as current assets, unless they mature more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. In such cases, they are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classified as accounts receivable and other receivables on the balance sheet.
Ordinary acquisitions and sales of investments are recognised at the date of the transaction. All financial assets that are not recognised at fair value through profit and loss are initially recorded at fair value plus transaction costs. The exception is accounts receivable, which are recognised for the first time at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, ref. IFRS 9.1.5.3. Financial assets recognised at fair value through profit and loss are recognised on acquisition at fair value and transaction costs are posted to expenses. Investments are removed from the balance sheet when the entitlement to cash flows from the investments cease, or when such entitlement is transferred and the Group has basically transferred all risk and all potential profit from ownership. Financial assets available for sale and financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss account are valuated at fair value after the first recognition. Loans and receivables are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
2.10 Derivatives and hedging
The Group does not use accounting hedging, and none of the Group's derivatives are designated hedging instruments. The Group recognises derivatives at fair value with value changes through profit/loss. The purpose of the derivatives is to secure the Group's cash flow against fluctuations in interest and exchange rates. Refer to Note 23 for an overview of the Group's derivatives at 31.12.2021.
2.11 Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are measured the first time at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15. For subsequent measurements, accounts receivable is assessed at amortised cost determined by using the effective interest method, less provision for expected loss. The Group has chosen to apply the practical simplification approach to calculate losses on accounts receivable. The group has established a provision model that is based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The group has historical had minor losses on trade receivables. See Notes 3 and 14.
2.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits, and other short-term and easily negotiable investments with a maximum of three months' original maturity and overdraft facilities. In the balance sheet, overdraft facilities are included in loans under short-term liabilities.
2.13 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as share capital.
Expenses directly associated with issuing new shares or options with tax deductions, are recorded as reduction in received consideration in equity (premium on shares).
2.14 Accounts payable
Payables are measured at fair value at the first recognition. For subsequent measurements, payables are assessed at amortised cost determined by using the effective interest method.
2.15 Loans
Loans are recognised at the accrued amount when the loan is disbursed, less transaction costs. In subsequent periods, loans are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the disbursed loan amount (minus transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised over the term of the loan.
When loans are renegotiated, a view is taken as to whether the renegotiated loan should be treated as a continuation of the old loan or as a new loan (IFRS 9.3.3.1-9.3.3.3). The main rule of IFRS 9.3.3.1 is that a financial liability should only be derecognised in cases where the liabilities specified in the contract have been discharged, cancelled or expired. When a company has its debts renegotiated without a change of lender, however, the old loan is derecognised and a new loan recognised if the renegotiation involves significant changes in the conditions related to the debt. If there are no significant changes, the difference between the present value of the modified cash flow and the original amortised cost is recognised through profit/loss (see Note 8).
2.16 Pension liabilities, bonus schemes and other compensation schemes for employees
a) Pension liabilities
The companies in the Group have different pension schemes. Pension schemes are mainly financed through payments to insurance companies or pension funds. The Group's pension schemes are a defined contribution scheme and defined benefit plans. A defined benefit plan is typically a pension scheme which defines a pension payment an employee will receive on retirement. Pension payments normally depend on several factors, such as age, number of years in the company, and salary.
The recognised liability associated with defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefits on the balance sheet date minus the fair value of the pension funds (in cases where the scheme is hedged). The pension liability is calculated annually by an independent actuary using a linear accrual method. The present value of the defined benefits is determined by discounting estimated future disbursements based on the interest on corporate bonds with high credit rating using OMF interest rates.
Changes in benefits from the pension plan are recorded as income or charged to expenses on an ongoing basis, unless the rights under the new pension scheme are conditional on the employee remaining in service for a specified period in the vesting period. In this case the cost associated with the changed benefit is amortised on a linear basis over the vesting period.
b) Bonus agreements and severance pay
In some cases, employment agreements are made which give the right to bonus in relation to fulfilment of defined financial and non-financial criteria, as well as agreements which give the right to severance pay if the employer terminates the employment. The Group raises provisions in cases where there is a formal obligation to make disbursements.
2.17 Provisions
The Group raises provisions for environmental improvements and legal requirements when: There is a statutory or self-imposed obligation arising from previous events, there is a strong likelihood that the obligation will have to be met in the form of a transfer of financial resources, and the size of the obligation can be estimated with a sufficient degree of reliability.
In cases where there is more than one obligation of the same nature, the probability of the obligation having to be met will be determined by assessing the group as a whole. Provisions for the Group are raised even though the probability of settlement with regard to the individual elements in the group is low.
Provisions are measured at present value of expected disbursements to fulfil the obligation. A discount rate before tax is used which reflects the current market situation and risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the obligation due to changes in time value is recorded as interest expenses.
2.18 Income and expense recognition principles
Income from the sale of goods and services is measured at fair value, net of commission, rebates and discounts. Intragroup sales are eliminated. Income is recognised as follows:
a) Sale of services
Except for the seismic fleet, most of the Group's vessels have been contracted on time charters (TC) throughout the year. This means that the charter is agreed as a lease of a vessel with crew. The charterer decides (within agreed limitations) how the vessel is to be used. The time charter lapses in periods when the vessel is not operational (is "off hire"), e.g. during repairs. The shipping company pays for the crew, supplies, insurance, repairs, administration, etc., while the charterer pays the "voyage-dependent" expenses such as bunkers, port fees and expenses for loading and unloading.
In addition to leasing the vessel, there may be agreements for additional services in the form of hiring extra crew, sale of provisions and coverage of other operating expenses.
Lease income for leasing vessels is recognised on a linear basis through the lease period. The lease period starts from the date when the vessel is at the lessee's disposal, and ends with its agreed return.
Lease of crew and payments to cover other operating expenses are recognised on a linear basis through the contract period
When a contract is cancelled, the remaining contract is recorded as income when the vessel is returned.
b) Interest income
Interest income is recognised proportionally over time in accordance with the effective interest method. When receivables are written down, the capitalised value is reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate. After impairment, the interest income is recognised on the basis of the original effective interest rate.
c) Dividend income
36
Dividend income is recognised when this has been determined by the General Meeting.
2.19 Public subsidies
Subsidies from the net pay scheme and the reimbursement scheme for seamen are recorded as a cost reduction (under "payroll expenses").
2.20 Dividends
Disbursements of dividends to the Company's shareholders are classified as debt from the date when the dividend is determined by the General Meeting.
2.21 Events after the balance sheet date
New information after the balance sheet date on the Company's financial position on that date has been considered in the annual accounts. Subsequent events that do not affect the Company's financial position on the balance sheet date, but will affect it in the future, are reported if they are significant.
2.22 Earnings per share accruing to the parent company's shareholders
The calculation of earnings per share is based on the majority share of net profit, using the weighted average outstanding number of shares through the year. The diluted earnings per share are based on the majority share of the net profit using the average outstanding number of shares and outstanding options.
2.23 Taxes
Taxes are expensed as they are incurred. The tax costs consist of tax payable and the change in deferred taxes. Deferred tax/deferred tax assets are calculated by the liability method. Deferred tax/deferred tax assets are calculated based on tax rates and tax legislation which has been adopted (or adopted for all practical purposes) on the balance sheet date, and which is assumed to be used when the deferred tax is settled. Deferred tax/deferred tax assets are calculated per tax area and is presented gross in the balance sheet.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is likely that there will be taxable income in the future, and that the temporary differences can be deducted from this income.
The parent company and some other companies in the Group are subject to ordinary taxation. Several companies in the Group are subject to tonnage tax, classified as an operating expense and not in accordance with IAS 12
Taxes abroad are recorded in the periods in which they are incurred. To the extent that tax is calculated on the basis of income, this is classified as an income reduction and presented together with operating income. Taxes abroad calculated on the basis of net profit are classified as tax costs.
2.24 Discontinued operations – assets and liabilities held for sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as 'held for sale' when the capitalised amount is mainly realised through a sales transaction, and a sale is considered highly likely. They are measured at the lower of capitalised value and fair value minus sales costs.
2.25 Changes in accounting policies
The accounting principles applied are consistent with the principles used in previous periods.
2.26 Significant accounting estimates and matters associated with uncertainty in estimates
Preparing accounts in accordance with applicable standards and practice requires the management to prepare estimates and make assessments that affect recorded assets and liabilities as well as information on contingent assets and latent obligations on the reporting date, including income and expenses for the reported period. The final outcomes may differ from the estimates. Some amounts included in or affecting the accounts and associated notes require estimates, which in turn mean that the Group has to make assessments with regard to values and matters which are not known at the time of preparing the accounts. A significant "accounting estimate" could be defined as an estimate which is important to giving a true picture of the Group's financial position, but is also the result of difficult, subjective and complex assessments made by the management. Such estimates are often uncertain by nature. The management reviews such estimates on an ongoing basis, based on both history and experience, but also from consultations with experts, trend analyses, and other methods which are considered relevant for each estimate. Estimates and assessments that could have a significant effect on the accounts are described below.
a) Vessels
- Economic life/useful life
The level of depreciation depends on the estimated economic life of the vessels. The estimate is based on history and experience related to the vessels which are included in the Group. The Group's main strategy is to keep the vessels until they are scrapped. However, there are ongoing evaluations where the main strategy can be deviated from when financial conditions dictate. The estimate is reviewed each year. A change in the estimate will affect depreciation in future periods.
- Residual value at the end of economic life
The level of depreciation depends on the estimated residual value on the balance sheet date. Expected residual value is based on the knowledge of scrap values for vessels. The scrap value is dependent on steel prices. The estimate of scrap value is subject to annual review.
- Impairment
On the balance sheet date, the Group has made an assessment of whether there are indications that vessels may need to be impaired. When such indications exist, the recoverable amount for the vessel is estimated, and the value of the vessel is written down to the recoverable amount.
Refer to Note 12 for more details on the principles that have been applied.
b) Leases
Operational lease requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value assets.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the Group as lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straightline basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
c) Pension liabilities
Determination of the liabilities under defined benefit plans is a complex area because it requires estimates for both actuarial and financial assumptions. The liabilities are also measured on the basis of present value because the benefit will be paid many years in the future. The Group's assumptions are based on recommended assumptions from the Norwegian Accounting Foundation for the Norwegian schemes. The calculation of the pension liabilities is mainly influenced by the assumed discount rate.
d) Acquisition of assets
When several assets are acquired together, their individual cost must be determined. The Group uses valuation methods and assessments from third parties to determine the fair value of each identified asset, and allocates the total cost in relation to the individual values.
e) Joint ventures
The Company has the following joint ventures:
| Eidesvik Seven AS | Bømlo | 50% |
|---|---|---|
| Eidesvik Seven Chartering AS | Bømlo | 50% |
These are recorded by the equity method. In
f) Long-term receivables
Under other non-current receivables, EIOF recorded in 2017 a receivable of MUSD 27.5 (total MNOK 235). The 2017 accounts assumed that the receivables from Global Seismic Shipping AS had a value of 45% of par. Consequently, in the accounts as at December 31, 2017, these receivables were written down by 55%. No changes have been made to this as at December 31, 2021.
If the reason for the impairment lapses at a later time, and the lapse can be tied to an event taking place after the impairment is recognised, the previous impairment is reversed. This evaluation has to be made each quarter based on an overall assessment. Refer to Note 7 for a more detailed description/analysis.
As the repayments are repaid, the impaired part of the payment will be recorded as income. Any reversal will be recorded as other financial income.
g) Climate risk
Eidesvik is considered to be exposed to climate related risks which can affect the future cash flow estimates. Climate changes as harder weather and increasing sea level are considered to have low effect as Eidesvik's vessels are built for a rough climate. Both CO2-taxes and the transition from fossil energy towards renewable increases the risk for the Eidesvik fleet.
Eidesvik has been a pioneer to adopt new technology that reduces emissions, and has multiple world records of being the first to adopt new technologies. Please read Eidesvik's ESG report for information of the many major emission reducing projects that Eidesvik is part of (available on the Company's website). By the end of 1st Quarter 2022, Eidesvik operates 11 vessels with batteries and hybrid solutions, out of total 12 vessels in operation. In the impairment assessment, climate risk effects are including in the forecasted cash flow estimates.
Note 3 - Financial risk management
Financial risk
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial market risk factors through its activities. Financial market risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and charter rates will affect the value of the Group's assets, liabilities and future cash flows.
The Group's overall risk management plan focuses on the unpredictability of the capital markets and seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. Elements included in the management of financial risk are the contract length on charters, use of currency and interest-bearing instruments, and debt in the same currency as expected payments of charter income. The main focus for the management of currency and interest rate risk is to hedge future cash flows. The hedge positions for the cash flows are recorded at fair value with value changes through profit/loss. This exposes the accounts to fluctuations in the value of the hedging instruments for the cash flow. In Eidesvik Offshore ASA, risk management of the revenues reported in the accounts is subordinate to risk management of the cash flows.
The Group's risk management is handled by management according to guidelines from the Board.
a) Market risk
(i) Currency risk (see also Note 23)
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates for several currencies. Currency risk arises from future transactions, and relates to booked assets and liabilities.
To manage the currency risk from future commercial transactions and booked assets and liabilities, the Group uses currency derivatives. The Group also, to a certain extent, have loans in the same currency as expected future income.
The Group is particularly exposed to fluctuations in USD, as it has considerable charter income but low operating costs in this currency. It seeks to reduce fluctuations with loans and currency forward contracts in the same currency. At December 31, 2021, the Group's long-term liabilities were divided between 45% NOK and 55% USD. At December 31, 2020 it was 44% NOK and 56% USD.
The Company's exposure to USD on the balance sheet date is shown in table below. The table below shows estimated change in net profit before tax in million NOK if the USD rate against NOK had been 50 øre higher/lower at December 31, 2021. The table does not reflect potential effects on impairment regarding value in use for vessels with income in USD.
| +50 øre | -50 øre | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating profit before profit from associates and joint ventures | 0,0 | 0,0 |
| Profit from joint ventures | 0,0 | 0,0 |
| Net financial income excluding agio/disagio on long-term debt | 0,0 | 0,0 |
| Agio/disagio | -50,8 | 50,8 |
| Profit/loss for the year | -50,8 | 50,8 |
| Translation difference, shares | 0,0 | 0,0 |
| Total comprehensive income | -50,8 | 50,8 |
(ii) Interest rate risk (see also Note 23)
The Group's interest rate risk is related to long-term loans and deposits of surplus liquidity. Loans with floating interest rates involve a risk for the Group's cash flow. Fixed rate loans exposes the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The interest rate risk is managed by use of interest derivatives (swaps and caps) within guidelines from the Board.
The effect of a change in interest rates is simulated in order to support decisions on fixed rate contracts. The simulation illustrates the cash effect of a change in interest rate based on the size of the loan and the level of current interest rate hedging. An increase of 1 percentage point in the interest rate, all else being equal, would reduce net profit before tax by approximately MNOK 12. The Group's loans are recorded at amortised cost, and thus no change in value will occur from interest rate fluctuations.
(b) Credit risk
The Group has a concentration risk as charter contracts are signed with relatively few customers. Eidesvik's customers are mainly solid companies with good solvency. The risk of counterparties not having the financial capacity to fulfil their obligations is considered relatively low. Overdue receivables are followed up monthly. The Group has chosen to apply the practical simplification rule to calculate losses on accounts receivable. Loss provisions are raised based on historical data, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
The following table categorises the Group's receivables according to the risk of non-recovery of outstanding amounts:
| Accounts receivable | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | 120 800 | 84 453 |
| Group 2 | 8 681 | 11 914 |
| Group 3 | 1 462 | 5 049 |
| Total | 130 942 | 101 416 |
Group 1: Established customer relationship, good solvency/willingness
Group 2: New customers, possibly slow recovery
Group 3: Established customer relationship, weaker solvency/willingness
The Group has significant long-term receivables from a company in the Global Seismic Shipping AS group that was sold in January 2020. These receivables are posted in the accounts at a significantly lower value due to provisions for counterparty risk from the company's charterer. The recorded value of the receivables was measured for revenue recognition in 2017 at less than the nominal value. This was in accordance with observable sales of securities issued by the same counterparty. The credit risk on the receivables is considered to be lower, and indications of changes in the valuation of these are assessed continuously. The impairment of the long-term receivables has been reversed to reflect the repayments received. See Notes 5 and 13 for further information.
Maximum risk exposure is represented by the capitalised value of the financial assets, including derivatives, on the balance sheet. As the counterparties in derivatives trading are large well-known banks, the credit risk associated with derivatives is considered low.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group aims to manage the cash flow from operations by focusing on long-term charters with little price volatility. Surplus liquidity is mainly placed in ordinary bank deposits.
The Group monitors the risk of a lack of available capital through liquidity budgets for subsequent years, as well as a monthly 24-month liquidity forecasts. Longer term liquidity forecasts are prepared several times per year.
The current liquidity position of the Group is satisfactory for the next 12 months considering the agreed refinancing in 3rd Quarter 2021.

Risk management of capital
A primary goal for the Group is to secure long-term financing of its assets. In light of the negative development of the market and outlook early in 2020, Eidesvik entered into amendments to its credit facilities with all of the Group's financial institutions in June 2020 for the period from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. The Group deferred the instalments on all its credit facilities during said period to the end of 2022, amounting to approximately MNOK 90. Due to receipt of the cash proceeds from the PUT-option mentioned below, the unpaid deferred instalments became due and were paid in March 2021, and the remainder of the deferred instalments were paid according to the original schedule during the first half of 2021.
On August 27, 2021, Eidesvik announced that it had agreed on a term sheet ("Term Sheet") with its financial institutions for refinancing of its debt. With a combination of extension of debt maturities and reduced amortization payments, the agreed terms significantly strengthened the Group's financial position. On September 10, 2021, the final agreements and documentation were in place and the new terms for the Group's financing became effective.
The agreed terms provide mechanisms for extension of final maturities of debt facilities from the end of 2022 to the end of 2023, and there will be no final maturities until year end 2023. The extension is subject to Eidesvik meeting certain financial and operational triggers. Please see note 20 for further information.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic generally increased several financial risks in 2020. Fortunately, most of these risks returned to more normalized levels during 2021.
Currency risk: The volatility in the currency market were more stable in 2021.
Credit risk: Eidesvik's customers are mainly solid companies with good solvency, which limits the increase in credit risk. Liquidity risk: The market uncertainty returned to more normalized levels, and Eidesvik managed in 2021 to secure several
Other risks
Eidesvik is exposed to other risks, as market and operational risks, including cyber security risk. In addition, the Company experience increase in both expenses and lead time from suppliers, primarily as a consequence of the geopolitical situation related to war in Ukraine.
Assessment of fair value
contracts.
IFRS 7 requires financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet date to be presented by level, with the following level classification for measuring fair value:
- 1) Quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (level 1)
- 2) Valuation based on other observable factors, either directly (price) or indirectly (derived from prices) other than the quoted price (used in level 1) for the asset or liability (level 2)
- 3) Valuation based on factors not taken from observable markets (non-observable assumptions) (level 3)
The following balance sheet items represent financial instruments at fair value:
| Balance sheet item: | Level |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1 |
| Derivatives | 2 |
| Financial investments | 2 |
Derivatives are recognised on the basis of valuations from the counterparty (mark to market).
Debts to credit institutions with floating interest rates are recognised at amortised cost, and are valued at approximate fair value. Fixed-rate loans (CIRR) are recorded at amortised cost, and the estimated value is described in Note 23. The fair value of fixed-rate loans is calculated by discounting the difference between the fixed rate and the market rate at December 31, 2021, with a duration equal to the term of the loan.
Cost is considered equivalent to fair value for the equity investments discussed in Note 21.
Note 4 - Segment information
The Group's activities are divided into strategic operating segments according to the nature of the vessels' activities. The various operating segments offer different shipping services, address partially different customer groups, and have different risk profiles. The Group is divided into the following operating segments:
a. Seismic
- b. Subsea/Offshore Wind
- c. Supply
- d. Other
The Seismic segment delivers shipping services to customers who produce seismic data, and the market has traditionally been characterised by relatively long contracts. Over the last few years this has changed to shorter term contracts for specific projects. The vessels belonging to this segment are not bound to particular geographical areas, but operate all over the world according to the customers' needs.
The Subsea/Offshore Wind segment delivers shipping services for subsea work for the oil industry. The vessels are specially adapted to tasks such as subsea inspection, maintenance, repairs and construction. Several of the Company's subsea vessels meet the requirements in the Offshore Wind market, and one vessel is currently chartered in this market.
The Supply segment delivers services to the offshore oil industry. The vessels deliver supplies to rigs, and function as part of the rig's emergency preparedness.
Transactions between segments are eliminated. These are mainly administration costs that are charged to each segment.
Long-term financial items in the Group are not allocated, as the Group's liabilities are mainly included in fleet facilities.
Short-term liabilities are allocated to the segments where possible. Items that do not belong to any of the segments is recorded under "Other".
Segment performance is assessed on the basis of operating profit, and is consistently measured against operating profit in the consolidated financial accounts.
The effect of applying IFRS 15 to the Group's revenues from contracts with customers is described in Note 2.

Information on large customers
The majority of the Group's income is earned from a small number of large customers. The table below shows the total operating income from all customers representing more than 10% of the Group's operating income. The amounts are distributed by segments.

Secondary segments are not reported. The Seismic, Subsea/Offshore Wind and Supply business segments are the only groups reported internally. Although the vessels in the Seismic and Subsea/Offshore Wind segments operate in various parts of the world, this is mainly a
consequence of the customer's preferred areas of operation, not necessarily a decision on a geographical focus area. Presenting geographical areas for these segments is considered misleading. For the Supply segment, all operations in 2020 and 2021 are in just one geographical area defined as Europe. Secondary segmentations is therefore omitted. The performance obligations for time charter income is satisfied over time, hence the group have not any contract assets or contract liabilities, as of December 31, 2021.

(*) right-of-use assets TNOK 50 502 and depreciation TNOK 4 707 is not included in the table above. Refer to note 22 IFRS 16, Lease.
Please refer to Note 20 for information on mortgaged assets.
Refer to Note 2, point 2.5, for details of depreciation periods for vessels and lumping together of components.
The company has in Q1 2022 entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for sale of Viking Neptun. The asset is classified as held-for-sale in the consolidated statement of financial position. Further two seismic vessels are classified as held-for-sale. Refer to note 20 for Liabilities related to Assets held for sale.
The PSV Viking Athene was sold in April 2021, and sale generated a gain of MNOK 1.9.
Property/port facilities include plots/land valued at MNOK 17.9 (MNOK 18.2) which are not depreciated.
Impairment tests are performed on individual cash generating entities (vessels) when indications of impairment are identified. Due to observed impairment indicators, the vessels' book values were tested for impairment per December 31, 2021. Based on these tests, impairments of MNOK 76.9 related to eight vessels were charged to the accounts.
The Group monitors the presence of impairment indicators during the periodical financial reporting, and thus may update its assessments of impairments to reflect further changes in the underlying market assumptions.
Broker estimates are not used as an approximate sales value on the balance sheet date as there are few observed sales of the type of vessels the Company owns. In the assessment of value in use, expected future cash flows are used, discounted to net present value using a discount rate after taxes reflecting the market-based time value of money, as well as risk specific to the asset. The discount rate is derived from a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for market players. The WACC used in the calculation as of April 27, 2022 is in the range of 8.9% to 9.1%, depending on currency for each vessel, with a weighted average of 9%. This takes into account that the Group's business is mainly within the tonnage tax system, and the calculated WACC is assumed to apply both before and after tax. Future cash flows are estimated on the basis of estimated remaining useful life, which may exceed 5 years. The cash flows used in the impairment tests for 2021 are based on and reconciled against the financial forecasts which the Group uses for internal planning purposes as well as present to its lenders. The capital structure used in the weighted average cost of capital is based on an assumed capital structure in comparable companies with similar assets in a normal situation. Equity cost is based on the expected required rate of return for the Company's investors. Debt costs are based on the terms of the Group's loan agreements, which is marginally above the Company's weighted average for all interest-bearing liabilities. The beta factors are evaluated quarterly when deemed necessary, and otherwise at least annually, on the basis of publicly available market data for identified comparable companies and the main index on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Other important elements in estimated cash flows are the long-term inflation rate, the contract situation (order reserve), the utilisation rate, ordinary operating expenses, periodic maintenance (docking), charter rates, and exchange rates.
In 2021, the Seismic segment had an impairment charge of MNOK 48.6 (recoverable amount MNOK 129.2), the Subsea segment MNOK -192.4 (MNOK 1,351.7). In 2020, impairment of MNOK 154 were charged.
There is significant uncertainty associated with the assumptions for the value in use calculations. The calculation is based on market prospects which are weak in all three segments in the short and medium term. On a general view, it is considered that the seismic survey market will see a few years after the balance sheet date where layups or reduced rates must be expected for the vessels that are not on fixed contracts. The same considerations apply to the subsea and supply markets.
The expected future earnings used in the calculations are implicitly adjusted for utilisation rate adapted to this general market view. Therefore, sensitivity calculations have also been performed for the value in use calculations and the impaired amounts, in order to highlight the uncertainty in the calculations.
If the earnings or utilisation rate for the entire fleet are assumed to be reduced by 5%, the impairment would increase by MNOK 7.7 and cover five vessels. If the WACC assumed had increased to 10%, the impairment charge would have increased by MNOK 3.0 and included four vessels.

The nominal value as at December 31, 2021, was MUSD 12.60 (MUSD 16.55 as at December 31, 2020), but the value recognised in the accounts is substantially lower due to provisions for counterparty risk with the company's charterer. In 2021 repayments were paid in accordance with the agreed plan, and write-downs on the payments received were reversed (see Note 5 and Note 8).

Risk assessment
Through the defined benefit schemes, the Group is affected by a number of risks arising from uncertainty in assumptions and future developments.
The key risks are described here:
Life expectancy
The Group has undertaken to pay pensions to the employees for the remainder of their lives. So an increase in life expectancy among the members will lead to an increase in the liability for the Company.
Return risk
The Group is affected by a reduction in the actual return on the pension funds. This will lead to an increase in the liability for the Company, as the return on the funds will not be sufficient to meet the obligation.
Inflation and wage increase risk
The Group's pension liability carries risk associated with both inflation and wage growth, although wage development is closely linked to inflation. Higher inflation and wage growth than assumed in the pension estimates will lead to a larger liability for the Group

The refinancing
On August 27, 2021, Eidesvik announced that it had agreed on a term sheet ("Term Sheet") with its financial institutions for refinancing of its debt. On September 10, 2021, the final agreements and documentation were in place and the new terms for the Group's financing became effective. The agreed terms provide mechanisms for extension of final maturities of debt facilities from the end of 2022 to the end of 2023, and there will be no final maturities until year end 2023. The extension is subject to Eidesvik meeting certain financial and operational triggers.
Summary of the refinancing
Amortization:

- NOK 100 million in up-front prepayment from corporate cash was made on the date of signing and final documentation. This was distributed pro-rata to the financial institutions based on outstanding debt per Q2 2021, after facility prepayment.
- In 2022, scheduled amortization amounts to approximately NOK 112 million, in total for the Group.
- In H1 2023, scheduled amortization amounts to approximately NOK 8 million in total for the Group. Depending on market conditions related to one vessel, additional NOK 24 million may become payable as fixed amortization and distributed pro-rata among the financial institutions during H1 2023 based on the outstanding debt under each facility per January 1, 2023.
- In H2 2023, scheduled amortization amounts to approximately NOK 72 million in total for the Group.
Cash Sweep:
During the refinancing period, all excess cash above certain threshold levels with respect to each facilities agreement shall be applied towards repayment of the outstanding debt under that facilities agreement, in inverse order of maturity. Excess cash will be measured semi-annualy.
• Per December 31, 2021, cash sweep of MNOK 16.1 was calculated and was paid in March 2022.
Interest rates:
• No amendments
Financial covenants:

Note 22 - Leases
(NOK thousands)
Right-of-use assets
IFRS 16 "Leases" sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements for both parties to a lease contract. IFRS 16 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Group adopted IFRS 16 on the effective date using a modified retrospective approach and will not restate comparative information.
The Group is both a lessor, as it charters vessels to customers, and a lessee. The new requirements result in significant changes to the accounting model applied by lessees and will primarily affect the Group's accounting for the operating leases as a lessee. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.
To determine whether a contract contains a lease, it is considered whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. This is for the Group considered to only be the case for office leases and vehicles. The Group has long term lease agreements on office premises and vehicles that will be affected by implementation of IFRS 16. For the Group, these lease commitments will result in the recognition of an asset (right-of-use) and a lease liability. The rental period is calculated based on the duration of the agreement plus any option periods if these with reasonable certainty will be exercised. Joint expenses etc. are not recognised in the lease liability for the rental contracts.
As permitted by IFRS 16, the Group chose to measure the right-of-use asset equal to the amount of the liability at the implementation date. The future payments under each lease arrangement have been discounted using the incremental borrowing rate applicable to the leased assets in order to calculate the lease liability recognized on the date of adoption.
The Group has used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases:
- Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term
- Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application
The liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 5.0%. As of January 1, 2019, the implementation effects were as following:
- Right-of-use assets in the statement of financial position increased by MNOK 64.4
- Lease liability in the statement of financial position increased by MNOK 64.4
- Effect on equity amounted to 0

At December 31, 2021, 71% (69%) of the Group's loans were at fixed interest or swap/cap.
The Group has two fixed-interest loans in NOK with a maturity of 12 years originally (CIRR), which are recorded at amortised cost in the balance sheet. If these loans were to be refinanced today with a new margin and money market rate, and retained the same repayment profile, the net present value of the difference between the current interest payments and the refinanced interest payments would be MNOK 8.3 (level 2, see Note 3). If these loans were recorded at fair value, they would have been reported correspondingly higher.
See Note 20 for information on long-term loans.
Other information
No financial assets have been reclassified such that the valuation method has been changed from amortised cost to fair value, or vice versa.
For assessment of fair value (MTM), see Note 3.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS – PARENT COMPANY
Accounting principles
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act of 1998 and generally accepted accounting principles.
Classification and valuation of balance sheet items
Current assets and short-term liabilities include items maturing within one year after the balance sheet date. Other items are classified as fixed assets/long-term liabilities.
Current assets are valuated at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are capitalised at nominal value at the time of establishment.
Non-current assets are valued at acquisition cost, but depreciated to fair value if the impairment in value is not expected to be transient. Long-term liabilities are capitalised at nominal value at the time of establishment.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable and other receivables are listed in the balance sheet at fair value after deduction of provisions for expected loss. Provisions for loss are made on the basis of individual assessments of individual receivables. An unspecified provision is also made for other accounts receivable in order to cover presumed loss.
Currency
Monetary items in foreign currency are valued according to the exchange rate at the end of the accounting year.
Subsidiaries/associated companies
Subsidiaries and associated companies are valued according to the cost method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at acquisition cost for the shares, unless write-downs have been necessary. Group contributions to subsidiaries, with taxes deducted, are listed as increased cost for shares. Dividends/group contributions are recorded in the same year as the provision is made in the subsidiary/associated company. When a dividend/group contribution substantially exceeds the share of retained profits after the acquisition, the excess amount is treated as a repayment of invested capital, and is deducted from the value of the investment in the balance sheet.
For loans to subsidiaries, refer to Note 6.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Maintenance of fixed assets is expensed on an ongoing basis under operating costs, while upgrades or improvements are added to the cost of the asset and depreciated in step with the asset. The distinction between maintenance and upgrades is calculated in relation to the condition of the asset when it was acquired.
Tax
The tax costs in the income statement include both tax payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets are calculated at 22% on the basis of the temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and losses carried forward for tax purposes at the end of the accounting year. Temporary differences that increase and decrease taxes and that reverse or may reverse during the same period are offset and netted off.
Pension liabilities
The Company finances its pension liabilities to the employees through a group pension scheme. Accounting is done in line with the NRS 6 accounting standard for pension costs. Pension liabilities are calculated as the present value of future pension benefits considered to be incurred on the balance sheet date, based on the fact that employees acquire their pension rights evenly throughout their working lives. Pension funds are valued at fair value and are netted against the pension liabilities for each pension scheme. Net pension funds are presented as long-term receivables under financial assets. The net pension cost for the period is included in payroll and social security costs, and consists of the pension entitlements for the period, interest costs on the calculated pension liabilities, expected returns on the pension funds, recorded effects of changes in estimates and pension plans, recorded effects of discrepancies between actual and expected returns, and accrued payroll tax. The effects of changes in pension plans are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the direct method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, and other short-term liquid placements which can be converted to known cash amounts immediately and without significant risk of bankruptcy and which mature in less than three months from the date of acquisition.
Note 1 – Bank deposits
Of the MNOK 138.206 (MNOK 34.4) in bank deposits, restricted tax funds represent MNOK 0.4 (MNOK 0.2).

Appendix 1 – Alternative performance measures definitions
The Group's financial information is prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In addition, the Group discloses alternative performance measures as a supplement to the financial statement prepared in accordance with IFRS. Such performance measures are used to provide better insight into the operating performance, financing and future prospects of the Group and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties.
The definitions of these measures are as follows:
- Contract coverage: Number of future sold days compared with total actual available days (incl. vessels in layup), excluding options.
- Backlog: Sum of undiscounted revenue related to secured contracts in the future.
- Utilization: Actual days with revenue divided by total actual available days.
- Equity Ratio: Equity divided by total assets
- Net interest bearing debt: Interest bearing debt less current and non-current interest bearing receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The use of term "net debt" does not necessarily mean cash included in the calculation are available to settle debt if included in the term. Reference is made to Note 12.
- EBITDA: Operating result (earnings) before depreciation, impairment, amortisation, net financial costs and taxes is a key financial parameter. The term is useful for assessing the profitability of operations, as it is based on variable costs and excludes depreciation, impairment and amortised costs related to investments. EBITDA is also important in evaluating performance relative to competitors. See table below for matching to the accounts.
- EBIT: Operating result (earnings) before net financial costs and taxes. See table below for matching to the accounts.
- Working capital: Current assets less short-term liabilities.
- Minimum market value clause: Booked value of an asset shall not be lower than a given ratio compared to outstanding debt on the same asset.
