9M 2016 Key Messages

  • Business plan targets confirmed: 9M 2016 results, with 5.7% EBITDA margin and positive net result at € 7 mln, mark a substantial improvement compared with 9M 2015 (EBITDA margin 0.2%) and are in line with the targets set out in the Business Plan 2016-2020
  • Total backlog(1) at € 21.8 bln covering ~ 5.2 years of work if compared to 2015 revenues; backlog at € 19.0 bln (€ 11.6 bln in 9M 2015 and € 15.7 bln in FY 2015) with 106 ships in orderbook and soft backlog(2) at € 2.8 bln (€ 8.2 bln in 9M 2015 and € 3.0 bln in FY 2015)
  • Successful implementation of VARD Business Plan: shut down of Vard Niterói yard and increase of the stake in Vard Promar to 95.15% in Brazil, along with the progress of the diversification strategy with the award of 6 expedition cruise vessels; yards in Romania well utilized and now hiring again
  • Contract with the Qatari Ministry of Defense: a true commercial milestone.

(1) One delivered in Q1 2016, one in Q2 2016 and one in Q3 2016

Order intake and backlog – by segment

(1) 1 ATB (Articulated Tug Barge) - articulated unit consisting of a barge and a tug, thus being counted as two vessels in one unit

(2) Sum of backlog and soft backlog

(3) Soft backlog represents the value of existing contract options and letters of intent as well as contracts in advanced negotiation, none of which yet reflected in the order backlog

Comments

  • Consistent growth of backlog across all segments, notably in Shipbuilding
  • Order intake
  • − Shipbuilding: 12 units (2 cruise ships, 7 naval vessels for Qatar Emiri Naval Forces, 1 LCS and 2(1) vessels for petrol-chemical transportation)
  • − Offshore: 27 units (4 expedition cruises for Ponant, 2 expedition cruise vessels for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, 17 module carrier vessels for Topaz, 3 module carrier vessels for Kazmortransflot and 1 fishing vessel for Havfisk)
  • − Equipment, Systems & Services: orders mainly related to Italian Navy's fleet renewal program
  • Backlog and soft backlog
  • − Total backlog(2) covers ~ 5.2 years of work if compared to 2015 revenues
  • − Soft backlog(3) at € 2.8 bln

Backlog deployment – by segment and end market

(1) Articulated Tug Barge (ATB) is an articulated unit consisting of a barge and a tug, thus being counted as two vessels in one unit

(2) Ships with length > 40 m

(3) Offshore business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

Revenues – by segment and end market

  • − Growth of volumes in cruise (13 units under construction vs. 11 in the same period of 2015)
  • − Decrease in other activities primarily due to the lower contribution of repairs and conversions
  • Offshore
  • − Revenue decrease driven by the reduction of activities at VARD yards in Europe and in Brazil, where phasing out of Niterói yard has been completed and key resources were relocated to Promar
  • − Negative effect of NOK/EUR exchange rate (€ 43 mln)
  • Equipment, Systems and Services
  • − Increase of volumes in after sales services for naval vessels, but also in sales of automation systems and other naval equipment

Comments • Shipbuilding
