Report for Q4 2022

EIDESVIK OFFSHORE ASA HELGA COTGROVE Vestvikvegen 1, 5443 Bømlo, Norway

Message from the CEO

I am pleased to report that Eidesvik has delivered yet another financially strong quarter with revenues of MNOK 433.9, whereof the sale of Viking Neptun accounts for MNOK 269.7.

We continued to deliver operational excellence with a vessel up-time of 96%. I want to take the opportunity to thank the Eidesvik employees for their hard work and dedication. Our performance is a direct result of your focus and efforts.

The market fundamentals improved in all our operating segments, a trend we foresee continuing also in 2023. As in previous quarters, high inflation and limitations in supply chains impact our operating costs.

During the quarter we completed the sale of CSV Viking Neptun. Under the companies' ship management agreement, we continue to manage the vessel for the new owner DEME. The sale of the vessel enabled us to substantially deleverage our balance sheet and position the company for future growth. In this respect, we are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with our financial institutions on a term sheet for refinancing of our debt until February 28, 2026.

With the forecasted increase in investments within oil & gas exploration and production, we see opportunities for growth in the PSV and subsea space. We are also monitoring opportunities in the offshore wind market where we already have a solid footprint.

As part of our growth strategy, we have formed a joint venture with Reach Subsea ASA where Eidesvik will be a majority stakeholder. This entity will own and operate the Subsea IMR vessel Edda Sun upon completion of the planned acquisition of the vessel. The vessel will operate for Reach Subsea on a 6-year time charter under the name Viking Reach.

Looking ahead, we are focused on evaluating opportunities for growing our business and we continue our efforts to identify and implement new climate and environmental technologies that reduce emissions from our fleet.

Highlights

Eidesvik Offshore ASA and its subsidiaries ("Eidesvik" or the "Group") completed the sale of CSV Viking Neptun November 28, 2022.

Eidesvik was awarded a 3-year contract with Equinor Energy AS ("Equinor") for the PSV Viking Avant. The contract commenced in direct continuation of the current contract in December 2022. In addition, Equinor was granted options for further extensions. Furthermore Wintershall Dea declared an option to extend their contract for PSV Viking Princess till June 2023.

The group generated revenue of MNOK 648.8 in 2022 compared to MNOK 587.8 in 2021. The EBITDA was MNOK 224.5 compared to MNOK 178.7 in 2021. Both these numbers are adjusted for the gain on the sale of CSV Viking Neptun of MNOK 269.7.

The sale of the vessel lead to reduction in debt of MNOK 829.3. The remaining excess cash from the proceeds will be used for further debt service.

The seismic fleet are all in lay up at the end of Q4. The assets are held for sale.

Operational update

HSEQ

The safety of employees and operations constitute the foundation of all activities in Eidesvik. The Group had zero lost time incident (LTI) in 2022, continuing the good track record from the year before which also had zero LTIs. The Group reported TRCF (Total Recordable Case Frequency) of 0.53* in 2022. This is in line with the reported TRCF for last year (0.46), which was an alltime low for Eidesvik. The recordable incident was one restricted work case. Eidesvik are continuing the focus towards a negative trend related to first aid accidents.

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

Operations

All vessels within the PSV and offshore wind/subsea segments were on contract during the quarter. The overall utilization in Q4 2022 for this fleet was 96% (89% Q4 2021).

The PSV segment experienced an utilization of 97% in Q4 2022 (91%). Viking Queen was operating in the spot market for most of December.

For the subsea and offshore wind vessels, the utilization was 95% (85%).

All of the seismic vessels were in layup during the quarter, and are being held for sale.

Financial summary

Revenue for Q4 2022 was MNOK 433.9 compared to MNOK 145.7 in Q4 2021 with an EBITDA of MNOK 322.7 compared to MNOK 30.3 in Q4 2021.

Revenue and EBITDA in 2022 was MNOK 918.5 (MNOK 587.8) and MNOK 494.2 (MNOK 178.7).

The revenue and EBITDA for Q4 and the year compared to last year are affected by the sale of CSV Viking Neptun which generated a gain of MNOK 269.7.

Adjusted for the gain the revenue and EBITDA was MNOK 164.2 (MNOK 145.7) and MNOK 53.0 (MNOK 30.3) for Q4 and MNOK 648.8 (MNOK 587.8) and MNOK 224.5 (178.7) for the year. The increase in the adjusted revenue (13%) and adjusted margin (75%) for the quarter compared to 2021 are due to both higher utilisation and improved day rates. For the year the improvement is mainly due to improved day rates.

Operating costs for the quarter were MNOK 111.2 compared to MNOK 115.4 in Q4 2021 driven by increase in payroll cost and a reduction in other operating expenses due to insurance proceeds received in the quarter and some cost reduction due to the sale of Viking Neptun. Operating expenses in 2022 were MNOK 424.3 (MNOK 409.1).

Q4 depreciation was MNOK 40.5 (MNOK 50.2). The lower number is due to vessels held for sale not being depreciated. 2022 depreciation was MNOK 142.9 (MNOK 208.0).

There are no impairment or reversal of impairment in the quarter compared to net reversal in Q4 2021 of MNOK 206. Net reversal of impairment for 2022 is MNOK 209.2 (MNOK 143.8).

Operating profit before other income and expenses for Q4 was MNOK 282.2 (MNOK 186.1). 2022 operating profit was MNOK 560.5 (MNOK 114.5).

The joint ventures had a loss of MNOK 3.6 for the quarter (MNOK -3.1). For 2022 the loss was MNOK 9.6 (MNOK -5.9). The increased loss is mainly due to increased interest cost and increase in crew cost for the year due to the reintroduction of the ceiling on the net salary scheme for seamen. The result from associated companies was MNOK 0.5, both for the quarter and for the year (MNOK 0.9).

The net financial income and expenses for Q4 was MNOK -25.5 (MNOK 4.3). The loss is due to the development in interest rates, leading to increased interest expenses, and a negative change in market value on the interest hedges for the quarter. For the full year, the net number was MNOK -28.3 (MNOK -40.3), strongly affected by the increase in market value on the interest hedges, which offset the increased interest expenses.

The currency gain for the quarter of MNOK 100.7 (MNOK -3.3) is due to the development of NOK vs USD related to the portion of debt in USD. Currency loss for the year was MNOK 116.4 (MNOK -37.6) due to the movement in USD against NOK for the year, and the realized disagio related to the delivery for Viking Neptun and the corresponding repayment of debt. The USD debt is reduced materially with the sale of Viking Neptun.

Profit after tax for Q4 and the year ended at MNOK 354.4 (MNOK 184.1) and MNOK 406.7 (MNOK 30.7) respectively.

Balance sheet and liquidity Q4 2022

Total current assets per December 31, 2022 were MNOK 910.3 (MNOK 531.2 per December 31, 2021), and cash balance was MNOK 665.7 (MNOK 330.4), where MNOK 79.8 is restricted cash and funding restricted for use towards the ShipFC ammonia project. Ship FC is Eidesvik's joint development project with Equinor and Wärtsilä among others for the development of green ammonia as a fuel source.

Assets held for sale at year end was MNOK 80.7 (MNOK 1,022.5 on December 31, 2021). All seismic vessels are now held for

sale, the CSV Viking Neptun was sold in the quarter. Please see note 7 for further details.

Fixed assets were MNOK 1,348.1 at December 31, 2022 compared to MNOK 1,196.9 at year end 2021. The increase is due to reversal of previous impairment.

Value in use calculations of the consolidated fleet indicated no impairments of the book value per December 31, 2022.

Broker values are used to support the assessment and decisions made by value in use calculations. Average broker value conducted by two independent brokers evaluate the consolidated part of the fleet value free of charter to MNOK 1,809 (MNOK 1,710 at December 31, 2021, adjusted for Viking Neptun) which indicates an excess value before tax of MNOK 665 (MNOK 738, adjusted for Viking Neptun) compared to the book value of the vessels.

Equity on December 31 2022, was MNOK 928.0 (MNOK 521.1 on December 31, 2021), i.e., an equity ratio of 40% (19%).

Net interest-bearing debt on December 31, 2022, was MNOK 531.6 (MNOK 1,695.6 on December 31, 2021). The decrease is due to the repayment of debt in connection with the sale of CSV Viking Neptun and installments.

Eidesvik has agreed a term sheet with its financial institutions that is credit approved for refinancing of its debt. The new debt will mature on February 28, 2026. With a prepayment of MNOK 410 from available cash on hand the debt will be materially reduced and the Company's financial position will be significantly strengthened. The Company and its financial institutions are working on completing final documentation and expect to have final agreements in place during March 2023.

Upon signing final documentation, the debt prepayment of MNOK 410 will be made. Debt amortization will be MNOK 42.5 for 2023 and MNOK 85 per year thereafter.

Cash flow from operating activities per December 31, 2022, amounted to MNOK 225.6 (MNOK 177.1 per December 31, 2021).

Cash flow from investment activities per December 31, 2022, was MNOK 1,171.4 (MNOK 228.5 per December 31, 2021). This is due to the sale of CSV Viking Neptun.

Cash flow from financing activities per December 31, 2022, of MNOK -1,061.8 (MNOK -504.4 per December 31, 2021) consisted of payments of interest and installments on secured debt and repayment of the debt related to CSV Viking Neptun.

Market and outlook

GENERAL MARKET

Rystad Energy published that they expect the global market for oil and gas contractors to rise to a peak of \$ 1 trillion in 2025. They further expect that oilfield suppliers will be able to expand the market from 2025 into the wider energy market. In 2023 oil and gas investments are expected to grow 13% and a 10% for low carbon investments.

PSV

The North Sea term market was active last quarter of the year with multiple long-term contracts concluded. Charterers are notably securing vessel capacity for their future operations.

The high number of term fixtures reduced some of the Charterer's exposure towards the spot market. In combination with the ordinary seasonal variations, the consequence has been that the spot-rate level in Q4-2022 has dropped significantly below the term level, and below the level in 4th quarter of 2021.

The fundamental activity drivers for this segment are robust and with the lack of current newbuilding placements and the cost of a new built vessel, we foresee healthy growth in rates going forward.

SUBSEA & WIND MARKET

The subsea market continues to improve with vessels previously operating in offshore wind returning to the segment due to the rate differential. We see increased day rates and utilization levels year on year with several long-term contracts for subsea vessels concluded globally.

The Norwegian continental shelf is expected to be the most active subsea region in the coming years, and in December 2022 Aker BP submitted ten PDOs in this region.

The offshore wind market is still experiencing challenges with sufficient returns, however, orders for newbuilt vessels continues to be placed as the market continues to grow.

The activity level slowed down during the 4th quarter as seasonal campaigns came to an end, however, this is increasing again as Charterers have started to secure vessel capacity for the 2023 season. The combination of market growth and competition for vessels with the traditional O&G market will positively affect vessels rates in this segment in the coming years.

Subsequent events

Eidesvik has agreed a term sheet with its financial institutions that is credit approved for refinancing of its debt. The new debt will mature on February 28, 2026. With a prepayment of MNOK 410 from available cash on hand the debt will be materially reduced and the Company's financial position will be significantly strengthened. The Company and its financial institutions are working on completing final documentation and expect to have final agreements in place during March 2023.

Upon signing final documentation, the debt prepayment of MNOK 410 will be made. Debt amortization will be MNOK 42.5 for 2023 and MNOK 85 per year thereafter.

Eidesvik is pleased to announce that it has formed a joint venture with Reach Subsea ASA ("Reach"). The joint venture will own and operate the Subsea IMR vessel Edda Sun upon completion of the planned acquisition of the vessel. Eidesvik will own 50.1% of the new entity. The joint venture will be financed by equity from both parties and around MNOK 150 of bank financing.

The vessel will commence on a 6-year time charter with Reach in the start of Q2. Going forward the vessel will be operated by Eidesvik under its new name Viking Reach.

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, and fixed-rate loans. The share of loans with interest cap or fixed interest is 70% for NOK loans and 158% for USD loans per December 31, 2022.

The current liquidity position of the Group is satisfactory, particularly taking into account the improved liquidity position after completion of the sale of Viking Neptun. Eidesvik has agreed a term sheet with its financial institutions that is credit approved for refinancing of its debt. The new debt will mature on February 28, 2026. With a prepayment of MNOK 410 from available cash on hand the debt with be materially reduced and the Company's financial position will be significantly strengthened. The Company and its financial institutions are working on completing final documentation and expect to have final agreements in place during March 2023.

Upon signing final documentation, the debt prepayment of MNOK 410 will be made. Debt amortization will be MNOK 42.5 for 2023 and MNOK 85 per year thereafter.

For further information, reference is made to the 2021 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

Other revenues are mainly related to the gain on sale of Viking Neptun (MNOK 269.7), and reversal of previous write-down of paid installments on receivables from Oceanic Seismic Vessels AS. See Note 5 in the Annual Accounts for 2021 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 December 31, 2022.

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 Group

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 December 31, 2022, is 9.2%. 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 decrease in WACC from Q3 2022 is mainly related to the decrease in the longer market interest rates.

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 Q4 2022 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 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 is a pioneer in adoption of new technologies 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 Group's website). 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.

For further information about the tests and other estimates, reference is made to the 2021 annual accounts Note 12.

Eidesvik sold the vessel Viking Neptun in Q4 2022.

The Group have previously held two vessels in the Seismic operation for sale. In Q4 2022, Eidesvik made the decision to also hold the other two vessels for sale, hence all the Group's seisimic vessels are currently held for sale.

In determining whether the decisions of sale of the vessels are assessed as discontinued operations or asset held for sale, the Group have concluded that the seismic operations is 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 four 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 8 - Long-term debt drawn

No new long-term debt was drawn during Q4 2022. The Group's debt was refinanced in Q3 2021 with final maturity December 31, 2023. The Group is in line with all covenants.

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.

Note 15 - Subsequent events

Eidesvik has agreed a term sheet with its financial institutions that is credit approved for refinancing of its debt. The new debt will mature on February 28, 2026. With a prepayment of MNOK 410 from available cash on hand the debt will be materially reduced and the Company's financial position will be significantly strengthened. The Company and its financial institutions are working on completing final documentation and expect to have final agreements in place during March 2023.

Upon signing final documentation, the debt prepayment of MNOK 410 will be made. Debt amortization will be MNOK 42.5 for 2023 and MNOK 85 per year thereafter.

Eidesvik is pleased to announce that it has formed a joint venture with Reach Subsea ASA ("Reach"). The joint venture will own and operate the Subsea IMR vessel Edda Sun upon completion of the planned acquisition of the vessel. Eidesvik will own 50.1% of the new entity. The joint venture will be financed by equity from both parties and around MNOK 150 of bank financing.

The vessel will commence on a 6-year time charter with Reach in the start of Q2. Going forward the vessel will be operated by Eidesvik under its new name Viking Reach.

No other events have occurred after the balance sheet date with significant impact on the interim financial statements for Q4 2022.

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 13.
  • EBITDA: Operating result (earnings) before depreciation, impairment, amortization, 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.
  • 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.
