1H 2017 Key Messages

  • 1H 2017 results in line with Business Plan 2016-2020 targets: revenues up 1.3% vs 1H 2016 and EBITDA margin at 6.3%, 20% higher than the 5.0% in 1H 2016; Business Plan targets confirmed
  • Total backlog(1) at € 25.5 bln covering ~5.8 years of work if compared to 2016 revenues:
  • Backlog at € 20.4 bln (102 ships) up from € 19.3 bln in 1H 2016 thanks to the conversion of soft backlog into firm orders
  • Soft backlog(2) at € 5.1 bln (€ 2.5 bln in 1H 2016)
  • Extraordinary commercial success with the signing, in the first months of the year, of orders and agreements for a total of 12 cruise ships (including options)
  • Sound operating performance with the delivery of five units:
  • − Three cruise ships from three different shipyards for three different brands: "Viking Sky", "Majestic Princess" and "Silver Muse"
  • − Two naval vessels: FREMM "Rizzo" and submarine "Romeo Romei" for Italian Navy
  • VARD continues to successfully deploy the diversification strategy, also thanks to significant synergies with the cruise business
  • Signed a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 66.66% of the share capital of STX France: an important step towards the consolidation of the European shipbuilding industry. The closing will be subject to customary conditions, as well as the French State's choice not to exercise its preemption right. Fincantieri continues to negotiate with the French State for the finalization of the shareholders' agreement. The creation of value remains an essential condition for the conclusion of the transaction

Order intake and backlog – by segment

  • (1) Sum of backlog and soft backlog
  • (2) 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
  • (3) For comparison purposes, 1H 2016 figures are restated following the redefinition of operating segments. Following the operational reorganization carried out in November 2016, the repair & conversion services, cabins & public areas business, as well as integrated systems business, all previously included in the Shipbuilding segment, have been relocated to the Equipment, Systems & Services segment starting from FY 2016 results.

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
