Main highlights in 2020

In 2020 Eidesvik Offshore ASA ("Eidesvik" or the "Group") generated a consolidated EBITDA of MNOK 131.1, compared to MNOK 243.2 in 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. At year end 2020, both "Viking Energy" and "Viking Avant" were on charter with Equinor.

In relation to the five year contract for "Viking Energy", Eidesvik announced a zero emission shipping solution. "Viking Energy" became 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.

During 2020, Eidesvik was awarded several contracts for "Viking Lady" and "Viking Prince" under the Frame Agreement with Aker BP. Both vessels were on charter with Aker BP at year end 2020, and "Viking Lady" is on firm contract until year end 2021. In addition, Aker BP awarded Eidesvik a ship management agreement for two supply vessels in operation on the Norwegian continental shelf.

Results 4th Quarter 2020

The interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The interim accounts of 4th Quarter 2020 and corresponding figures for 2019 have not been audited.

In the 4th Quarter 2020 Eidesvik had consolidated operating income of MNOK 106.9 (MNOK 142.0 in the corresponding period in 2019). Operating result before depreciations (EBITDA) was MNOK 10.0 (MNOK 35.1). Operating result (EBIT) was MNOK -152.7 (MNOK -594.1). Result from joint ventures was MNOK -13.8 (MNOK -0.1). Net financial items were MNOK 124.8 (MNOK 17.3). Result after tax amounted to MNOK -26.0 (MNOK -578.3), whereof a positive effect of MNOK 141.9 was mainly due to NOK strengthening against USD during the Quarter. For further information, refer to Note 11 to the accounts.

Results 2020

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

The Group's consolidated total operating income for 2020 was MNOK 530.8 (total operating income for 2019, was MNOK 681.6, whereof MNOK 38.6 was related to the termination of the contract for "Viking Vanquish"). Operating result before depreciation (EBITDA) was MNOK 131.1 (MNOK 243.2), and operating result (EBIT) was MNOK -202.4 (MNOK -565.3). Result from joint ventures of MNOK -5.2 (MNOK -10.5) are related to operation of the subsea vessel "Seven Viking" (in 2019 the seismic vessels in the Global Seismic Vessels AS group was included until May 31, 2019 (Note 9)). Net financial items were MNOK 67.8 (MNOK -123.4), whereof MNOK 106.7 of financial income is related to the sale of Global Seismic Shipping AS ("GSS") and the associated translation differences in the joint venture. This effect is reversed in Comprehensive Income, and has no effect on Total equity. A positive effect of MNOK 71.0 was mainly due to NOK strengthening against USD. For further information, refer to Note 11 to the accounts.

Result after tax for 2020, amounted to MNOK -132.4 (MNOK -690.3 for 2019), whereof MNOK -123.6 (MNOK -598.9) was the result for the shareholders of the parent. This resulted in earnings per share of NOK -1.99 (NOK -9.64).

Balance sheet and liquidity per December 31, 2020

Current assets at December 31, 2020, was MNOK 877.1 (MNOK 648.9 at December 31, 2019), and cash balance was MNOK 429.2 (MNOK 408.3), whereof MNOK 53.2 is restricted cash and MNOK 14.7 is funding restricted to the ammonia project.

Book equity at December 31, 2020, was MNOK 479.0 (MNOK 729.5 at December 31, 2019), i.e. an equity ratio of 16% (22%). The total booked equity per share at December 31, 2020 was NOK 7.73 (NOK 11.74). The corresponding market quote at Oslo Stock Exchange closed at NOK 3.04 (NOK 5.24). This represents a market capitalization of MNOK 188.9 (MNOK 325.7).

Value in use calculations of the consolidated fleet indicated impairments of the book value per December 31, 2020, and impairments of MNOK 96.7 have been charged to the accounts. An average fair value assessment conducted by two independent brokers, evaluate the consolidated part of the fleet value free of charter to MNOK 2,727 (MNOK 3,473 at December 31, 2019), which indicates an excess value before tax of MNOK 804 (MNOK 819) compared to the book value of the vessels. The Board is aware of the low turnover for the type of vessels Eidesvik owns, and that there is uncertainty regarding the market values in the current market.

Net interest-bearing debt at December 31, 2020, was MNOK 1,980.5 (MNOK 2,087.9 at December 31, 2019). The decrease in net interest–bearing debt is mainly a result of instalments, the effect from USD depreciation against NOK, and an increase in the cash balance.

Cash flow from operating activities per December 31, 2020, amounted to MNOK 254.4 (MNOK 172.0 per December 31, 2019).

Cash flow from investment activities per December 31, 2020, was MNOK -77.5 (MNOK -54.4 per December 31, 2019).

Cash flow from financing activities per December 31, 2020, of MNOK -156.1 (MNOK -224.8 per December 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 in 2020 was MNOK 55.9 (MNOK 68.4 in the corresponding period in 2019), a decrease of MNOK 12.5. This is a result of decrease in revenues and increase in operational costs.

Subsea

The subsea/offshore wind segment including shares of Joint Venture's EBITDA in 2020 was MNOK 114.1 (MNOK 115.6 in the corresponding period in 2019), a decrease of MNOK 1.4. The consolidated part of the segment had in 2020 an EBITDA of MNOK 76.3 (MNOK 75.3).

Seismic

The seismic segment's EBITDA in 2020 was MNOK 4.1 (MNOK 114.0 in the corresponding period in 2019, whereof MNOK 38.6 was related to the termination of the contract for "Viking Vanquish"), a decrease of MNOK 109.8. The decrease is mainly related to the termination fee for "Viking Vanquish" in 2019, "Veritas Viking" being in lay up (in operation in 2019) and lower income for "Vantage" (lay up from end of April 2020, versus in operation in 2019). The segment's EBITDA including shares of Joint Venture in the corresponding period in 2019 was MNOK 175.2. The Joint Venture was sold in January 2020.

Financing

The World-wide outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, in combination with the unprecedented decline in demand for oil and thus dramatic drop in oil prices, led oil companies to implement cost and capex saving measures that reduced demand for oil services. In light of the negative development of the

market and outlook early 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. As a consequence of the cash settlement of MUSD 30 in January 2021 from the exercise of the Shearwater PUT-option, the deferred instalments become due during the first half of 2021.

Eidesvik has started negotiations with its lenders aiming to secure a robust balance sheet and liquidity based on the current market and market outlook. It is still too early to predict the outcome of the negotiations with the lenders. The Board is optimistic that an agreement can be reached giving support to its going-concern considerations for the Group.

Market and future outlook

Navigating through 2020 with the combination of an Oil & Gas market collapse and increased operational complexity due to covid 19 have been challenging for all of the Groups segments. As we enter 2021, we see signs of improvements as the oil price has returned to pre pandemic levels and the Covid-19 vaccine will ease on the current operational restraints.

PSV Market

The North Sea PSV fleet experienced yet another quarter of weak term demand, with an average drop in rate levels of 35 % for large PSVs (900m2+) year on year. This had a negative impact on the spot market resulting in rate levels below operational expenses and related utilization levels. Upcoming requirements are mainly towards existing tonnage and are not likely to increase overall vessel demand in the near term picture. Our long term outlook is more positive as vessel scrapping, in combination with few new builds entering the market, are expected to reduce oversupply. This will likely lead to a market improvement for large and environmentally friendly PSVs.

Subsea Market

Short term the subsea activity levels remain uncertain, as the execution phases for deferred projects are still unknown. We expect the active Renewable market to partly offset vessel utilization levels in the years ahead. Our medium to long term outlook for this segment remains positive with solid and diversified order intake opportunities for the oil service companies, both in the O&G and Renewable offshore markets.

Seismic Market

The tendering activity for source vessels increased in Q4 2020, however the source vessel market remains very competitive for suppliers. We expect increased tender activity over the coming months.

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. The financial investments are valued in USD. 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. 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 charter parties 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 and cap 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 interest swap or fixed interest is 33% for NOK loans and 43% for USD loans per December 31, 2020. Including cap agreements, the Group's share of loans with interest swap/cap or fixed interest per December 31, 2020, is 61% for NOK loans and 76% for USD loans.

Market risk

For 1st Quarter of 2021 contract coverage for all consolidated vessels and the JV vessel "Seven Viking" (incl. 5 vessels in lay up) is approx. 55%, and for 2021 the coverage is approx. 50%.

Newbuild risk

The Group has per December 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 current liquidity position of the Group is satisfactory, particularly taking into account the settlement of MUSD 30 from the sale of the shares in Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS. The Group's current projections of cash flow indicate that a revised agreement with its lenders will have to be in place within a period of 12 months.

Note 3 - Seasonal variations

The interim 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 20.3 are related to reversal of previous 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

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

The World-wide outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, in combination with the 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 negative development of the market and outlook, on June 30, 2020, Eidesvik agreed to amendments to its credit facilities with all of the Group's financial institutions for the period from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. The Group will defer the instalments on all its credit facilities during said period to the end of 2022, amounting to approximately MNOK 90. Interest will be paid as normal during the period. On certain terms, the Group may still pay the deferred instalments should the Group's liquidity position during the first half of 2021 be better than presumed.

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

Consequences of the financial restructuring and the amendments in 2nd Quarter 2020

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 wasstructured in a manner which had lower risk of not being in compliance with them.

Note 16 - Subsequent events

On January 8, 2021, Eidesvik exercised the PUT-option for its shares in Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS ("Shearwater") effectively selling all its shares in Shearwater to CGG SA for a total consideration of USD 30 million in cash. As a consequence of receipt of the cash settlement of MUSD 30 in January 2021, the deferred instalments from the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021 become due during the first half of 2021.

Eidesvik has started negotiations with its lenders aiming to secure a robust balance sheet and liquidity based on the current market and market outlook. It is still too early to predict the outcome of the negotiations with the lenders. The Board is optimistic that an agreement can be reached giving support to its going-concern considerations for the Group.

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.

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.
