Eidesvik Offshore ASA Report for 1 st Quarter 2020

Highlights in 1st Quarter 2020

In 1st Quarter 2020 Eidesvik Offshore ASA («Eidesvik» or the «Group») generated a consolidated EBITDA of MNOK 28.2 (including a positive actuarial effect of MNOK 6.9), compared to MNOK 48.6 in 1st Quarter 2019.

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 (the "Consideration Shares").

Equinor Energy AS («Equinor») awarded Eidesvik a five year contract for «Viking Energy», plus options for extensions in Equinor's favor. The new contract will commence in direct continuation of the current contract ending April 2020.

In relation to the five year contract for «Viking Energy», Eidesvik announced a zero emission shipping solution. «Viking Energy» will be part of a full scale research program using fuel cell technology in combination with ammonia aiming for a zero emission propulsion solution. Equinor and Eidesvik are the main pillars in the industry cooperation together with Wartsila Norway AS, Wartsila Gas Solutions AS, Prototech AS and NCE Maritime Clean Tech. The five year research project receives support from EU and aims to have 2MW fuel cell capacity installed onboard «Viking Energy» in 2024.

Eidesvik was awarded a new contract by Equinor for the PSV «Viking Queen». The new contract commenced in direct continuation of the existing contract in end February 2020. The firm period of the new contract is 8 months, with options for further extensions.

Eidesvik was awarded new contracts under the Master Time Charter Agreement with Seabed Geosolutions for the seismic source vessel «Vantage» and the node-handling vessel «Subsea Viking». The new contracts were planned to commence in direct continuation of the existing contracts.

Aker BP awarded Eidesvik a contract for Viking Lady under the framework agreement between the parties. The firm period is six months and commenced in direct continuation of the existing contract in start of March 2020.

Eidesvik received in March 2020 notice of early redelivery of «Viking Princess», and the vessel was redelivered in April 2020.

Subsequent events

The contract mentioned above for «Vantage» was cancelled in the start of April 2020. By the end of April 2020 the contract mentioned above for «Subsea Viking» was amended to a stand-by period limited to April 2021 for the vessel, pending commencement of operations as planned for under the original contract.

Results 1st Quarter 2020

The interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The interim accounts of 1st Quarter 2020 and corresponding figures for 2019 have not been audited.

In the 1st Quarter 2020 Eidesvik had consolidated operating income of MNOK 136.8 (MNOK 153.8 in the corresponding period in 2019). Operating result before depreciations (EBITDA) was MNOK 28.2 (MNOK 48.6), and operating result (EBIT) was MNOK -18.9 (MNOK -20.1). Result from joint ventures was MNOK 2.5 (MNOK -14.0). Net financial items were MNOK -160.2 (MNOK -29.6), whereof MNOK

106.7 of financial income was related to the sale of GSS and the associated translation differences in the joint venture. This effect is reversed in Comprehensive Income, and has no effect on Total equity. Result after tax amounted to MNOK -179.2 (MNOK -49.7), whereof a negative effect of MNOK -222.4 was due to NOK weakening against USD, EUR and GBP, though partly offset by the above mentioned MNOK 106.7 in translation differences. For further information, refer to Note 11 to the accounts.

Balance sheet and liquidity per March 31, 2020

Current assets at March 31, 2020, was MNOK 963.2 (MNOK 658.0 at March 31, 2019), and cash balance was MNOK 380.5 (MNOK 443.2), whereof MNOK 59.4 is restricted cash.

Book equity at March 31, 2020, was MNOK 495.4 (MNOK 1,372.0 at March 31, 2019), i.e. an equity ratio of 15% (34%). The total booked equity per share at March 31, 2020 was NOK 7.97 (NOK 22.08). The corresponding market quote at Oslo Stock Exchange closed at NOK 3.48 (NOK 5.60). This represents a market capitalization of MNOK 216.3 (MNOK 348.0).

Due to observed impairment indicators, the vessels' book values have been tested for impairment per March 31, 2020. Based on these tests, no impairments have been charged to the accounts.

Net interest-bearing debt at March 31, 2020, was MNOK 2,356.5 (MNOK 2,096.0 at March 31, 2019). The increase in net interest–bearing debt is mainly a result of the effect from USD appreciation against NOK, and a decrease in the cash balance.

Cash flow from operating activities per March 31, 2020, amounted to MNOK 51.5 (MNOK 12.5 per March 31, 2019).

Cash flow from investment activities per March 31, 2020, was MNOK -22.6 (MNOK -9.7 per March 31, 2019).

Cash flow from financing activities per March 31, 2020, of MNOK -56.6 (MNOK -75.3 per March 31, 2019) consisted of payments of interest and installments on secured debt.

Variation in the operation of vessels in 2020 compared to 2019

Supply

The supply segment's EBITDA per March 31, 2020, was MNOK 22.0 (MNOK 5.2 in the corresponding period in 2019), an increase of MNOK 16.8. This is mainly a result of increases in utilization and day rates. In addition, «Viking Athene» was in operation in the Quarter versus in lay up in the same period in 2019.

Subsea

The subsea/offshore wind segment including shares of Joint Venture's EBITDA per March 31, 2020, was MNOK 9.1 (MNOK 32.3 in the corresponding period in 2019), a decrease of MNOK 23.2. The decrease is mainly a result of the low activity for «Viking Neptun» in the Quarter. The consolidated part of the segment had per March 31, 2020, an EBITDA of MNOK -0.4 (MNOK 22.3).

Seismic

The seismic segment's EBITDA per March 31, 2020, was MNOK 3.9 (MNOK 65.7 including shares of Joint Venture in the corresponding period in 2019), a decrease of MNOK 61.8. The decrease is mainly related to «Veritas Viking» being in warm lay up in the Quarter (in operation in the same period in 2019), lower income for «Vantage», and the sale of the JV GSS. The consolidated part of the segment had per March 31, 2020, an EBITDA of MNOK 3.9 (MNOK 29.1).

Financing

The recent World-wide outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, in combination with an unprecedented decline in demand for oil and thus dramatic drop in oil prices, have led oil companies to implement cost and capex saving measures that reduce demand for oil services. In light of the recent negative development of the market and outlook, the Group will initiate processesin order to protect its liquidity and financial position both short term and longer term.

Market and future outlook

PSV Market

The combination of COVID-19 and a significant decline in oil prices has resulted in a sharp market decline for PSVs. Operators reduce capex spending with cutbacks on drilling activity and an increased focus on opex reductions. This have already resulted in a number of rig cancellations with negative consequences for vessel utilization and day rate levels. Vessel owners are laying up tonnage and, again we expect challenging times ahead both in the short and medium term perspective. Medium term outlook is subject to change depending on the effect of the Norwegian Government's support package for the Norwegian Oil & Gas industry.

Subsea Market

The significant decline in oil prices has had severe impact on the subsea market as well. Oil and Gas Companies' capex cuts and opex reductions are leading to subsea projects delays and cancellations for both brownfield and greenfield projects World-wide. The subsea field-development companies prepare for a dramatic drop in expected activity level and also a significantly lower backlog building in the year ahead. We expect a reduction in vessel demand for both IMR and SURF vessels in the shorter term, and with significant uncertainty for demand medium to long term.

Seismic Market

The significant decline in oil prices has led to operators postponing or cancelling several seismic projects that were both planned and very near commencement in 2020. There has been a significant decline in new tenders from March, and consequently we expect a challenging market for seismic vessels short term.

Due to the high uncertainty in all markets wherein the Group operates, Eidesvik has decided to initiate processes to align the organization and adjust capacity to reflect the current market environment.

Notes to the accounts

Note 1 - Accounting principles

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

There are no changes in accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements compared with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 2 - Financial risk

Interest and foreign exchange risk

The Group has its income mainly in NOK, USD and EUR, while the material operating expenses are in NOK. Therefore, the Group is considerably exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate of USD/NOK and EUR/NOK. To reduce this risk a considerable share of the Group's debt is drawn in USD, and parts of the liquidity surplus in foreign exchange is sold forward. One of the joint ventures have USD as functional currency. This implies that fluctuations in USD also results in accounted fluctuations as these assets have to be converted to NOK before recognized in the Group's accounts. Currency translation adjustments have to be recorded as the Group uses the equity method for recognizing these activities in the accounts. In the period following the balance date a weaker foreign exchange rate will result in reported foreign exchange gains related to debt and forward contracts in

foreign exchange, but will also result in reduced value of long term charterparties in USD (not recognized in the accounts).

The Group has debt in USD and NOK and is exposed to changes in interest rate levels. The Group's interest rate risk is managed through interest swap derivatives and fixed-rate loans. As a consequence of this, the financial risk of high interest payments is reduced. The following Quarters an increased interest level will result in increased interest expenses, but will also result in increased market value of fixed interest loans. The share of loans with fixed interest is 33% for NOK loans and 30% for USD loans per March 31, 2020. The Group has an interest swap agreement with forward start in June 2020. Consequently, the share of loans with fixed interest per June 2020 is estimated to be 33% for NOK loans and 43% for USD loans.

Market risk

For 2nd Quarter of 2020 contract coverage for all consolidated vessels and the JV vessel «Seven Viking» (incl. 3 vessels in lay up) is approx. 65%, and for the rest of 2020 the coverage is approx. 52%.

Newbuild risk

The Group has per March 31, 2020, no vessels under construction.

Credit risk

The Group's customers are mainly relatively solid companies with ability to meet contractual commitments. For most contract parties the risk for not fulfilling their commitments is considered relatively low.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity postition is assessed as satisfactory for the next 12 months.

Note 3 - Seasonal variations

The interrim accounts are moderately influenced by seasonal variations. Reference is made to the chapter «Market and future outlook» and the «Contract status».

Note 4 - Special transactions

Other revenues of MNOK 7.1 are related to reversal of prevoius write-down of paid installments on receivables from Oceanic Seismic Vessels AS. See Note 5 in the Annual Accounts for 2019 for further details.

Note 5 - Estimates

No changes in estimates materially influencing the interim results or balance have occured.

Due to observed impairment indicators, the vessels' book values have been tested for impairment per March 31, 2020. Based on these tests, no impairments have been charged to the accounts. For further information about the tests and other estimates, reference is made to the 2019 annual accounts Note 12.

Note 6 - Long-term debt drawn

No new long-term debt was drawn during the 1st Quarter of 2020. The Group's debt was restructured in the 1st Quarter 2018 with amendments in the instalment plan. Reference is made to Note 15 for further information.

Note 7 - Dividends

No dividend has been paid in 2020 (2019: 0) in accordance with the covenants of the financial restructuring.

Note 8 - Operating Segments

Time Charter revenue is based on contracts where the Group delivers a vessel including crew, to a client. The charterer determines, within the contractual limits, how the vessel is to be utilized. A Time Charter contract consists of a Bareboat component and a service component. The Bareboat period starts from the time the vessel is made available to the customer and expires on the agreed return date. The Bareboat component will normally be within the range 20-80% of the total contract value. The Bareboat component is within the scope of IFRS 16. Both the service and the Bareboat are recognized as revenue over the lease period on a straight-line basis. There is no Time Charter revenue when the vessels are off-hire.

Note 15 - The financial restructuring

In the 1st Quarter of 2018, the Group agreed on an amendment to its loan agreements with its lenders to reduce amortisation of its secured loans to facilitate for a runway through 2022. A condition for the financial restructuring was, amongst others, that the Group obtained at least MNOK 120 in new equity and that the Group's MNOK 30 shareholder loan was converted to equity. In addition, a subsequent offer of MNOK 30 was fulfilled and completed in 1st Quarter 2018.

Summary of the restructuring

Amortization:

  • 72.5% reduction in amortizations until June 30, 2021 (compared to original amortization schedule)
  • Certain repayments up-front: 75% of the proceeds from sale of tradeable CGG bonds was applied to reduce secured debt (remaining 25% to be applied for instalments in 2018-2020)
  • Cash sweep:
  • o Cash in the cash sweep calculations exceeding the following thresholds will be swept:
    • MNOK 490 per year-end 2018
    • MNOK 350 per year-end 2019
    • MNOK 245 at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022

Interest rates:

• No amendments

Financial covenants:

  • Minimum free liquidity of NOK 125 million
  • Positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities and 50% of short-term portion of longterm liabilities, excluding balloons)
  • Loan to value:
  • o Suspended through 2021
  • o Thereafter (2022) maximum 100% per vessel

Other covenants

  • Change of control: If Eidesvik Invest AS or the Eidesvik family controls less than 33.4% of the shares and votes in the Group, or
  • Someone other than Eidesvik Invest AS gains negative control in the Group

Consequences of the financial restructuring

The revised debt maturity plan and strengthened liquidity position provided the Group with ability to withstand a weaker market for a prolonged period, and the financial covenants was structured in a manner which had lower risk of not being in compliance with them.

Recent developments in the energy markets have increased uncertainty in all our market segments and it is currently too early to have a clear view on the longer term market development. Due to this increased uncertainty, the Group is considering to initiate processes in order to protect its liquidity and financial position both short term and longer term.
