Eidesvik Offshore ASA

Report for Q1 2023

Vestvikvegen 1, 5443 Bømlo, Norway

Message from the CEO

Eidesvik is pleased to report a solid start to 2023. Revenues in Q1 was NOK 133.5 million and EBITDA ended at NOK 27.8 million, which is a substantial improvement from Q1, 2022.

The market continues to strengthen in all our operating segments. Vessel availability is rapidly decreasing globally, and we see increased day rates and utilization levels. During the quarter, we substantially grew our backlog, and the consolidated backlog of the company is now NOK 2.1 billion.

Some vital milestones were also reached in the period. We completed the refinancing of the company with our traditional bank institutions until February 2026. Furthermore, in line with our growth strategy we established a new entity together with Reach Subsea ASA. This company acquired subsea vessel Viking Reach and we raised NOK 130 million in a private placement to fund our part of the vessel. Viking Reach is now mobilized and in full operation for our partner and client Reach Subsea.

During the quarter, we performed two scheduled dockings and overall fleet operations delivered according to schedule and targets. High inflation and constraints in the supply chain continues to impact our cost levels and we maintain a stringent focus on cost and supply control.

We have had one lost time injury (LTI) which shows that we can never rest in our efforts to eliminate potential unsafe situations. Safety is a 24/7 concern that will always be our highest priority.

A strategic commitment to sustainability plays an important role in our ability to serve our customers. In our Sustainability Report for 2022, we proudly report positive developments in our key performance indicators. Among the many highlights are a reduction in CO2 emissions per operational day of 26.5% compared to 2021 and the installation of battery hybrid solutions in two additional vessels. Alongside our Sustainability Report we have also published our first account of our human rights due diligence process under the Norwegian Transparency Act.

The solid results at the beginning of the year position us very well to achieve our strategy and our goals for 2023. I am proud of the commitment and clear direction we have and would like to thank all our employees for their valued efforts.

Highlights

Eidesvik Offshore ASA and its subsidiaries ("Eidesvik", the "Group" or the "Company") completed the refinancing of the Group and signed a new loan agreement with its bank group. The new financing expires February 28, 2026. With this new loan agreement Eidesvik is no longer considered by the banks to fall within their restructuring cases. The Group has continued to pay all its obligations through a challenging period and also now reduced its debt substantially.

The Company established an entity together with Reach Subsea ASA where Eidesvik has the controlling interest. This entity acquired the IMR vessel Edda Sun, now named Viking Reach. The vessel entered into a 6- year contract with Reach Subsea ASA on April 1, 2023. The Group is excited about this collaboration with Reach Subsea reflecting a new business model for the group.

Eidesvik executed a private placement in the quarter raising gross NOK 130 million in connection with the financing of acquisition of Viking Reach. The capital raise was materially oversubscribed confirming strong investment interest in Eidesvik. A subsequent offering for existing shareholders who did not get to participate in the private placement is considered as per the stock exchange notice dated 03.03.2023.

The Group generated revenue of NOK 133.5 million in 2023 compared to NOK 109.1 million in 2022. The EBITDA was NOK 27.8 million compared to NOK 5.4 million in 2022.

The seismic vessel Viking Vanquish was sold in March 2023. The vessel was classified as held for sale.

The PSV Viking Queen was awarded a term contract with Wintershall Dea for 12 months plus options. The contract commenced in Q2 2023. Wintershall Dea also declared an option till January 2024 for the PSV Viking Princess.

Operational update

HSEQ

The safety of employees and operations constitute the foundation of all activities in Eidesvik. The Group reported one lost time incident (LTI) in the quarter (sprained an ancle while working on deck). The Group reported TRCF (Total Recordable Case Frequency) of 2.11* in Q1 2023. The recordable incident was the LTI. Eidesvik are continuing the focus towards the negative trend in 2022 related to first aid accidents, and the number of cases for the quarter indicates a decrease in such accidents.

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

Operations

The overall utilization for the PSV and offshore wind/subsea fleet in Q1 2023 was 81% (86% Q1 2022).

The PSV segment experienced a utilization of 85% in Q1 2023 (88%). Viking Queen has operated in the spot market in the quarter in addition to having been in for scheduled docking.

For the subsea and offshore wind vessels, the utilization was 73% (84%). Seven Viking

has been for its 10 year classification in the quarter. Viking Reach joined the fleet in mid March and entered into a time charter from start of April.

All of the seismic vessels were in layup during the quarter, and Viking Vanquish was sold and delivered to the new owner in March. The remaining three seismic vessels are being held for sale.

Financial summary

All financial numbers are in NOK unless stated otherwise

Revenue for Q1 2023 was NOK 133.5 million compared to 109.1 million in Q1 2022 with an EBITDA of 27.8 million compared to 5.4 million in Q1 2022.

The increase in revenue (22.4%) and EBITDA margin (322%) for the quarter compared to 2022 are due to improved day rates in both segments, increased utilisation and positive currency effects in subsea/wind.

Operating expenses for the quarter were NOK 105.7 million compared to 103.7 million in Q1 2022. Although payroll expenses are reduced because of the sale of Viking Neptun, legal and advisory expenses related to refinancing and the acquisition of Viking Reach outweighed this in other operating expenses.

Q1 depreciation was NOK 32.7 million (32.2 million).

There are no impairment or reversal of impairment in the quarter (0).

Operating profit before other income and expenses for Q1 was a loss of NOK 4.9 million (-26.8 million).

The joint ventures had a loss of NOK 8.9 million for the quarter (-2.6 million). The increased loss is due to the vessel Viking Seven being in for its 10- year classification in the quarter.

The net financial income and expenses for Q1 was NOK -6.9 million (11.2 million). The movement is due to increase in interest rates and Q1 2022 having a material gain due to mark to market valuation of interest derivates.

The currency loss for the quarter of NOK 4.3 million (8.6 million gain) is due to the development of NOK vs USD.

Loss after tax for Q1 ended at NOK -25.1 million (-9.6 million).

Balance sheet and liquidity Q1 2023

Total current assets per March 31, 2023, were NOK 623.3 million (910.3 million per December 31, 2022), whereof cash balance was 332.3 million (655.6 million). The main reason for the reduction in cash is due to prepayment of debt in connection with the refinancing. 65.2 million is restricted cash and funding restricted for use towards the ShipFC ammonia project. Ship FC is Eidesvik's joint development project with multiple partners for the development of green ammonia as a fuel source.

Assets held for sale at the end of the quarter was NOK 49 million (80.7 million on December 31, 2022). Assets held for sale are three remaining seismic vessels.

Non-current assets were NOK 1,614 million at March 31, 2023 compared to 1,348.1 million at year end 2022. The increase is due to the addition of the vessel Viking Reach.

Equity on March 31,2023 was NOK 1,122.7 million (928.1 million on December 31, 2022), i.e., an equity ratio of 49% (40%).

Net interest-bearing debt on March 31, 2023, was NOK 601.2 million (541.6 million on December 31, 2022).

Cash flow from operating activities per March 31, 2023, amounted to NOK 39.7 million (3.0 million per March 31, 2022).

Cash flow from investment activities per March 31, 2023, was NOK -294.4 million (- 65.0 million per March 31, 2022) mainly

consisted of purchase of the vessel Viking Reach.

Cash flow from financing activities per March 31, 2023, of NOK -68.6 million (-65.3 million per March 31, 2022) reflects the refinancing of debt, and the financing of Viking Reach.

Market and outlook

PSV market

Towards the end of 2022, the shortage of vessels availability for medium and long term became more visible, and as a result the customers continued to secure vessels on term charters in Q1 2023.

A seasonal slowdown in activity left the spot market with overcapacity in the beginning of 2023. As a result, the spot rates dropped to a level well below the term rates.

We predict a strong market this summer with shortage of PSVs in the Norwegian sector, driving rates and utilization.

All drivers for the PSV market are robust, and the supply side is significantly tightening. Our market outlook is positive both short, medium and long term.

Subsea & Wind market

We continue to see strong improvement in the subsea market. Vessel availability is limited and with the increasing activity ongoing and scheduled within the space, we foresee premium rates for subsea tonnage for years to come.

The high demand for vessels in the subsea market impacts vessel availability in offshore wind and drives rate levels here as well.

We continue to see placement of newbuild tonnage in offshore wind also without contracts secured. It is likely that contracts will be in place by the time these vessels enter the market, as the activity continues to grow year on year.

Subsequent events

The new share capital from the private placement was registered on April 3, 2023.

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 newly 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, 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.

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 cap derivatives. The share of loans with interest cap is 41% for NOK loans and 0% for USD loans per March 31, 2023.

The current liquidity position of the Group is satisfactory, particularly taking into account the completed refinancing in Q1 2023.

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

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

Gain on sale in Q1 2023 is related to the sale of Viking Vanquish.

Other revenues are mainly 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 March 31, 2023.

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

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. 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 March 31, 2023, is 9.8%. 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 long-term inflation rate, the contract situation (order backlog), the utilization rate, ordinary operating expenses, periodic maintenance (docking), charter rates, 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.

The seismic vessel Viking Vanquish was sold in Q1 2023. The remaining three seismic vessels are currently held for sale.

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

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.
