Order intake and backlog – by segment

(1) 1 ATB (Articulated Tug Barge) unit - 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

  • Confirmed ability to continuously convert commercial negotiations into contracts
  • Order intake
  • − Shipbuilding: 4 units (1 cruise ship, 1 naval vessel and 2(1) vessels for petrolchemical transportation)
  • − Offshore: 1 fishing vessel for Havfisk
    • Globally deteriorated market environment due to oil price decline
    • Persisting political and economic issues in Brazil
    • International geo-political situation limits access to some markets
  • − Equipment, Systems & Services: orders mainly related to Italian Navy's fleet renewal program
  • Backlog and soft backlog
  • − Total backlog(2) covers ~4.6 years of work if compared to 2015 revenues
  • − Soft backlog(3) includes also the order for Princess Cruises finalized on 2 April 2016, 4 small-sized luxury cruise vessels for Ponant (LOI VARD) and the contract with Topaz

Revenues – by segment and end market

(1) Breakdown calculated on total revenues before eliminations

Comments

  • Shipbuilding
  • − Higher volumes in cruise (with 11 units under construction)
  • − Full start of production of the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program expected in late 2016
  • Offshore
  • − Revenue decrease driven by the reduction of activities following the decline in orders, already beginning in Q4 2014
  • − Negative effect of NOK/EUR exchange rate

  • Net working capital at the end of Q1 2016 decreased to € 154 mln, compared to € 251 mln in FY 2015 due to
  • ‒ Delivery of two cruise ships during the quarter which more than compensated the increase in cruise revenues
  • ‒ Reduction of volumes at VARD shipyards
  • ‒ Positive variation of other current assets and liabilities (€ +112 mln) mainly related to changes in fair value of forex hedging derivatives
  • Construction loans at € 1.1 bln, of which € 951 mln related to VARD and € 147 mln related to Fincantieri
