Report for Q3 2023

REV

Vestvikvegen 1, 5443 Bømlo, Norway

Message from the CEO

The third quarter was yet another strong quarter for Eidesvik Offshore. We are pleased to report continued improvements in both financial and operational parameters in the quarter. Revenue was NOK 204.6 million and EBITDA ended at NOK 105.2 million. Freight revenue and EBITDA margin at 50% (excluding sales gains) are both at a level not seen for many years. Current market improvements are visible in all segments and paying off in our contract portfolio.

Our fleet utilisation in the period was high at 98%. We contribute this to our competent crew and our stringent maintenance philosophy which ensures our vessels are kept in excellent condition. Together we have delivered our services to the high operational standard we are known for and with safety at the core of our actions. We had zero LTIs in the quarter.

During Q3 we announced that Wintershall Dea has declared an option to extend the contract for the supply vessel Viking Queen. The contract extension was awarded at current attractive market conditions.

We are soon entering the winter season and I encourage all our crews to look after each other under the rough conditions that this season can offer. Winter usually comes with lower activity in the North Sea. For Eidesvik however, seasonal variations will not affect our revenues as all our vessels are currently on solid long-term contracts.

The macro-outlook in all our operating segments remains strong and these favorable market conditions will generate new opportunities for the company. We are continuously reviewing possibilities to expand and strengthen our business, and we do have the capacity to do so. However, we are adamant that new business cases in Eidesvik must rest on two pillars: Long-term contracts with clients that fit our strategy; and long recurring cashflows at healthy multiples. Our discipline in selecting the right clients and projects got us through the industry downturn with all our values intact, and it is this exact strategy that enables us to focus on growth prospects today. We are in it for the long run here at Eidesvik, with our focus set on long-term value creation.

Highlights

Eidesvik Offshore ASA and its subsidiaries ("Eidesvik", the "Group" or the "Company") continue to deliver both operationally and financially with revenue of NOK 204.6 million and EBITDA margin of 51.4% for the quarter. Utilisation was a stellar 98% (97%).

The two remaining seismic vessels, where a contract for sale was entered into in Q2 2023, were delivered to its new owners in August.

Wintershall Dea and OMV declared an option to extend the contract for the supply vessel Viking Queen. The contract extension runs from May 2024 in direct continuation of the current contract, extending the firm period to October 2025.

Quarterly freight revenue and EBITDA margin adjusted for sales gains of 50% is a revenue and margin percentage not achieved in close to seven years for the Company.

The Group's current NIBD/EBITDA (adjusted, last twelve months) is 1.5 (excluding IFRS 16).

Operational update

HSEQ

The safety of employees and operations constitute the foundation of all activities in Eidesvik. The Group had no Lost Time Incidents (LTI) in Q3 2023. Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) is 0.65* YTD 2023. This is due to the LTI previously reported in Q1 this year. The Company is continuing its focus towards first aid incidents, and the number of cases YTD 2023 indicates a decrease in such incidents.

* The number of Total Reportable Cases per million Exposure Hours worked during the period (excluding first aid).

Operations

The overall utilisation for the fleet in Q3 2023 was 98% (97% in Q3 2022).

The supply segment had a utilisation of 100% in Q3 2023 (96%).

For the subsea & offshore wind vessels, the utilisation was 96% (98%).

All vessels are on long-term contracts.

Financial summary

All financial numbers are in NOK unless stated otherwise.

Revenue for Q3 2023 was NOK 204.6 million compared to 190.4 million in Q3 2022 with an EBITDA of NOK 105.2 million compared to 91.0 million in Q3 2022. Revenue and EBITDA YTD 2023 was NOK 578.6 million and NOK 261.7 million (484.6 million and 171.5 million).

The revenue and EBITDA margin increased 7% and 15.6 % respectively compared to Q3 2022. YTD revenue and EBITDA increased 19.6 % and 52.6 % compared to 2022.

Number of owned vessels (100% or partially) in the quarter was 10 (14, whereof 4 in layup per Q3 2022).

In the supply segment revenue increased from NOK 81.8 million to 104.9 million, an increase of more than 28% due to improved rates and increased utilisation. In subsea & offshore wind revenue was NOK 98.4 million vs 105.6 million with improved day rates, favourable forex development and the addition of the vessel Viking Reach making

up a substantial part of the reduced revenue due to the sale of the vessel Viking Neptun.

EBITDA for Q3 of NOK 105.2 million, is up from Q3 2022 (91.0 million). Strong margin improvement in supply which is up from 37.2% to 49.4% and the addition of the vessel Viking Reach more than makes up for the reduction in EBITDA contribution due to the sale of Viking Neptun.

Operating expenses for the quarter were NOK 99.5 million compared to 99.5 million in Q3 2022 and 317.8 million YTD (313.2 million). Personnel expense increased due to increase in salaries and increase in crew on certain vessels, while other operating expenses saw a reduction due to the sale of Viking Neptun and seismic vessels and a decrease in SG&A expenses for the quarter.

Q3 depreciation was NOK 39.9 million (35.1 million). Depreciation YTD was NOK 112.4 million (102.4 million). Increased depreciation is driven by reversal of previous impairment and additional capex on the vessels.

Operating profit before other income and expenses for Q3 was NOK 65.3 million (265.1 million). YTD operating profit was NOK 481.4 million (278.3 million). Q3/YTD 2022 is impacted by reversal of previous impairment of NOK 209,2 million and YTD 2023 is impacted by reversal of previous impairment of NOK 332 million.

Joint ventures had a loss of NOK 3.6 million for the quarter (-2.3 million) and YTD NOK - 15.5 million (-6.0 million). The increased loss YTD is due to the vessel Seven Viking having its 10- year class renewal in Q1, an unscheduled repair in Q3 and increased depreciation and interest rates.

Net financial income and expenses for Q3 was NOK -10.7 million (-100.0 million). YTD net financial income and expenses was NOK -32.6 million (-219.9 million). 2022 was affected by material disagio due to substantial debt in USD in 2022. Interest expenses are reduced due to material reduction in debt in connection with the sale of Viking Neptun.

Profit after tax for Q3 was NOK 51.0 million (162.8 million). Profit YTD was 433.4 million (52.4 million). See above in regard to the reversal of impairment both for 2022 and 2023.

Balance sheet and liquidity Q3 2023

Total current assets per September 30, 2023, were NOK 641.5 million (910.3 million per December 31, 2022), whereof cash balance was NOK 386.5 million (655.6 million). The main reason for the reduction in cash is prepayment of debt in connection with the refinancing completed late Q1 2023. NOK 84.3 million is restricted cash and funding restricted for use towards Eidesvik's joint development projects with multiple partners for the development of green ammonia as a fuel source.

Non-current assets were NOK 1 899.3 million on September 30, 2023, compared to 1,348.1 million at year end 2022. The increase is due to the addition of the vessel Viking Reach and reversal of impairment in Q2, 2023.

Equity on September 30, 2023, was NOK 1 518.3 million (928.0 million on December 31, 2022), i.e., an equity ratio of 59.8% (39.7%).

Net interest-bearing debt on September 30, 2023, was NOK 431.5 million (541.7 million on December 31, 2022).

Cash flow from operating activities per September 30, 2023, amounted to NOK 184.8 million (101.7 million per September 2022).

Cash flow from investment activities per September 30, 2023, was NOK -172.6 million (-46.3 million) mainly due to investment in the entity Eidesvik Reach which owns the vessel Viking Reach and docking capex, reduced with sale of the four seismic vessels and other equipment.

Cash flow from financing activities per September 30, 2023, was NOK -281.3 million (-175.3 million). This is a combination of capital raise, prepayment of debt in connection with refinancing and sale

of seismic vessels, and return of capital to minority shareholders because of the sale of Viking Neptun.

Market and outlook

The macro-outlook in our operating markets remains healthy with increased investments in both O&G and offshore wind in the coming years. Global increased E&P spendings, very high tendering activity in combination with supply chain discipline is a healthy backdrop for vessel owners.

Supply market

The drivers for the PSV market continue to be strong with a high oil price, tight oil supply and with rig demand expected to increase the coming years. PSV demand continues to improve, and the Norwegian Continental shelf was close to sold out for vessel capacity most of the quarter. Other regions also report equally or higher utilisation and rates similar to the North Sea region. Spendings on upstream activity is increasing and demand for PSVs will be positively affected. A disciplined supply chain with low (to zero) newbuilding activity and with the current PSV fleet already experiencing high utilisation levels we foresee a very tight market for PSVs going forward.

Subsea & offshore wind market

The main subsea entrepreneur companies increase their EBITDA margin estimates and report of high tender activity and strong backlog increase YoY. Utilisation levels for the global offshore construction fleet is currently above 90%, however we note that long term vessel commitments are still linked to the subsea companies secured backlog. Our clients report book to bill above 1 with free cash flows steadily increasing. We believe both contract durations and rate levels are set to increase for vessel owners in the coming years. The subsea space will encounter multiple opportunities for vessel owners in all operating areas from SURF to IMR and survey vessels and we maintain our positive outlook for this segment.

The renewable market has experienced project delays and cancellations with project owners and developers performing writedowns on their contract portfolios. Vessels such as SOV/CSOV has a substantial new build program with vessels built on speculation. This combined with the recent announced delays in development in the segments can have a consequence for short to medium term vessel utilisation and rate levels. We believe this is a temporary market cooldown as FIDs (funding investment decision) increase YoY, more vessel years are committed YoY and government targets for installed capacity are still on the rise. We foresee a shortage for asset in most parts of the renewable supply chain towards 2030.

Subsequent events

Wintershall Dea has declared an option to extend the contract for the supply vessel Viking Princess. The contract extension runs from January 2024 in direct continuation of the current contract, extending the firm period to January 2025.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Note 1 - Basis for preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with recognition, measurement and presentation principles consistent with International Financing Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") for interim reporting under the

International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not include all of the information and notes required by IFRS for a complete set of consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statement.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for 2022.

The established entity formed together with Reach Subsea ASA, where Eidesvik holds 50.1% of the shares, is consolidated as a subsidiary in the accounts. Eidesvik has the controlling interest and influence in this entity.

The presentation currency of the Group is Norwegian kroner (NOK).

Note 2 – Financial risk

The Group has its income mainly in NOK, EUR and USD, while the material operating expenses are in NOK. Therefore, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate of EUR/NOK and USD/NOK.

The Group has debt in NOK and USD and is exposed to changes in interest rate levels. The Group's interest rate risk is managed through interest cap derivatives. The share of loans with interest cap is 50% for NOK loans and 0% for USD loans per September 30, 2023.

The current liquidity position of the Group is satisfactory.

For further information, reference is made to the 2022 annual accounts Note 3.

Note 3 - Seasonal variations

The interim accounts may be moderately influenced by seasonal variations. Reference is made to the chapter "Market and future outlook" and the "Contract status".

All of the Group's vessels are on long term contracts, which reduces the Group's exposure for seasonal variations going forward.

Note 4 - Special transactions

Gain on sale in Q3 2023 is related to the sales of Veritas Viking and Vantage.

Other revenues in Q3 2023 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 2022 for further details.

Note 5 – Estimates

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

Note 6 – Impairment/reversal of impairment

Impairment tests are performed on individual cash generating units (vessels) when indications of impairment or reversal of previous impairments are identified. Due to observed indicators, such as improved market conditions and change in market interest rates, the vessels' book values have been tested for impairment and reversal of previous impairments per September 30, 2023.

Based on these tests, Eidesvik has not recognized need for further impairment or reversal of previous impairment.

The Group monitors the presence of indicators for impairment and reversal of previous impairment 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. For the assessment of value in use, expected future cash flows are used, discounted to net present value using a discount rate before 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 average WACC used in the calculations per September 30, 2023, is 10.6%. 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. 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 Group's investors. Debt costs are based on the risk-free interest rate, plus a premium equivalent to the difference between risk-free rate and market rates. 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.

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 2023 are based on and reconciled against the financial forecasts which the Group uses for internal planning purposes as well as present to its lenders. Important elements in estimated cash flows are the contract situation (order backlog), the utilisation rate, ordinary operating expenses, periodic maintenance (docking), charter rates, the long-term inflation rate, and exchange rates.

CLIMATE-RELATED MATTERS

The Group constantly monitors the latest regulatory changes in relation to climate-related matters.

The Group has already invested in hybrid battery solutions for the majority of its fleet. For further green fuels and technologies to reduce CO2 emission for the fleet the Group continues to investigate this together with our customers, suppliers and also follow up on possibilities for public funding. Forecast for the vessels include green investments to the extent relevant and are therefore included in assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment. The investments done by the Group so far with focus on reduction in CO2 has historically contributed to securing long term contracts for the vessels in particular in periods where there has been excess capacity in the market. Higher fuel price due to CO2 levels or the cost of green fuels will for the most part be forwarded to the customer, hence there is limited impact in the Group's OPEX short term.

For the Group's long term sustainability goals of 50% reduction in CO2 in 2030, and climate neutral in 2050 to be met, both newbuild programs and new technology has to be implemented and yield appropriate returns. Long term investments are evaluated on this basis.

In the current market, with the existing fleet in the industry, current new build plans and commercial maturity of new emission technology there is no impact on residual values or useful life of the Group's existing vessels.

All the Group's vessels comply with current environmental requirements.

For further information about the tests and other estimates, reference is made to the 2022 annual accounts Note 12.

Eidesvik acquired the vessel Viking Reach (previously named Edda Sun) in Q1 2023 in the established entity formed together with Reach Subsea ASA.

All four seismic vessels are sold. Viking Vanquish was delivered in Q1 2023, Viking Vision in Q2 2023, and Veritas Viking and Vantage in Q3 2023.

In determining whether the decisions of sale of the seismic vessels were assessed as discontinued operations or asset held for sale, the Group has concluded that the seismic operations were not a major line of business. The assessment made was based on the fact that the seismic operation's representative share of the Group's total revenue was not viewed as significant (4% for 2022). Consistently discontinued operations was not applicable, and the vessels were classified as asset held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5.

Depreciations of right-of-use assets are not included in the table above.

Note 9 - 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 straightline basis. There is no Time Charter revenue when the vessels are off-hire.

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.
  • Utilisation: 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 cash and cash equivalents. The use of term "net debt" does not necessarily mean cash included in the calculation is available to settle debt if included in the term. Reference is made to Note 12.
  • EBITDA: Operating result (earnings) before depreciation, impairment, amortization, result from join ventures and associated companies, 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 amortized costs related to investments. EBITDA is also important in evaluating performance relative to competitors. See table below for matching to the accounts.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for Gain/loss on sale and Other income.
  • EBITDA margin: EBITDA divided on Total operating revenue.
  • 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.
