For Immediate Release
Singapore, 1 March 2017 – Vard Holdings Limited ("VARD", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), one of the major global designers and shipbuilders of specialized vessels, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2016 ("4Q 2016"), and full year ended 31 December 2016 ("FY 2016").
VARD's order book grew by NOK 411 million over the past quarter, bringing VARD's total to NOK 10.6 billion for the full year, surpassing new order intake for each of the previous two financial years ("FY 2014" and "FY 2015"). No new vessel orders were recorded in 4Q 2016, as the contract for two luxury cruise vessels for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, confirmed in October, was previously accounted for in the preceding period ("3Q 2016"). Nonetheless, new order intake was buoyed by a steady flow of variation orders, repair and conversion works, as well as VARD's success in its diversification into the aquaculture business. Order flow of vessel newbuilding projects has resumed after the end of the quarter with contracts announced for two ferries and one krill fishing vessel, and a Letter of Intent ("LoI") for an expedition cruise vessel.
As at 31 December 2016, the Group had an order book of 41 vessels, of which 35, or 85%, will be of VARD's own design. This translates to a total order book value of NOK 12.6 billion as at 31 December 2016, representing a 24% increase from NOK 10.2 billion in FY 2015.
VARD posted lower revenues of NOK 2.2 billion in 4Q 2016 and NOK 7.9 billion in FY 2016, representing a year-on-year decline of 35% and 30% respectively. This was mainly attributable to lower activity levels at the European yards stemming from the low order intake in 2015, and the shutdown of Vard Niterói in Brazil, where the Group has ceased all shipbuilding activities.
EBITDA before restructuring cost rose to NOK 67 million and NOK 168 million in 4Q 2016 and FY 2016 respectively, versus NOK 35 million and negative NOK 321 million in the corresponding periods the year before. EBITDA margins climbed to 3.1% in 4Q 2016 and 2.1% in FY 2016, as compared to 1.1% and negative 2.8% in 4Q 2015 and FY 2015. The improvement is mainly due to the positive contribution
of some projects under construction in Europe, as well as the loss provisions accrued in FY 2015 related to projects at the Brazilian yards.
Restructuring costs of NOK 29 million and NOK 105 million were recognized during the quarter and full year. These were mainly incurred in relation to termination benefits and statutory payments for temporary lay-offs, and are primarily due to the cessation of operations at Vard Niterói. The impairment of shareholdings in associated ship-owning entities, reflecting the down-turn in the offshore market, impacted FY 2016 results negatively.
Consequently, VARD registered a net loss of NOK 69 million in 4Q 2016 and NOK 197 million in FY 2016, compared to a loss of NOK 170 million in 4Q 2015 and NOK 1.3 billion in FY 2015. Losses of NOK 67 million and NOK 163 million were attributable to equity holders of the Company for 4Q 2016 and FY 2016 respectively. This translates to a cumulative loss per share of 2.29 SGD cents for the full year, as compared to a loss 8.22 SGD cents the year before.
Cash generated from operating activities totalled NOK 617 million and NOK 767 million respectively for 4Q 2016 and FY 2016, as compared to negative NOK 51 million and negative NOK 1.2 billion in the corresponding periods the year before. Cash and cash equivalents stood at NOK 722 million as at 31 December 2016. In terms of borrowings, total current liabilities decreased from NOK 16.5 billion at 31 December 2015 to NOK 10.0 billion at 31 December 2016, following a reduction in construction loans after the successful delivery of 13 vessels during the year. Non-current liabilities increased from NOK 1.4 billion to NOK 1.8 billion during the same period.
Activity at VARD's Norwegian shipyards remains soft, following the delivery of two large OSCVs in 4Q 2016, and another one in early January. Temporary layoffs are used to mitigate the effects of varying capacity utilization until arrival of the first cruise vessel hulls in Norway, while the yards are taking on repair, conversion and upgrading works in the interim. A key contract for two ferries was secured for Vard Brevik, ensuring continued operations at the yard. In contrast, the Group is seeing generally high workload in engineering and procurement for the new projects in the cruise segment. Here, a fruitful cooperation with Fincantieri has been established.
In Romania, the yards enjoy robust activity with utilization secured through 2018. The construction of 13 out of the 20 Modular Carrier Vessels ("MCVs") for Topaz Energy and Marine at Vard Braila and Vard Tulcea is progressing according to plan. The expansion of facilities at Vard Tulcea is also on schedule, with the extension of a launching barge to accommodate vessels up to 210x49 meters newly completed, and preparations for the installation of a new gantry crane well underway. Faced with a rising workload, management focus has turned to ramping up capacity and building the skills and resource base to support VARD's diversification effort also operationally.
Operations in Vietnam remain stable amid good yard utilization, with work on the seven MCVs under construction at the yard in Vung Tau progressing according to plan. The yard continues to work closely with Vard Tulcea and Vard Braila in sharing best practices and through joint management of this project. The OSCV built for Farstad at the yard has been transferred to Norway for installation of an offshore crane, with delivery of the vessel now imminent.

In Brazil, operations are improving, though the operating landscape remains challenging. Work at the yard in relation to the remaining two Liquefied Petroleum Gas ("LPG") carriers for Transpetro and two Pipe-lay Support Vessels ("PLSVs") for DOF and Technip is in progress. Following the decision to focus all Brazilian shipbuilding activities at Vard Promar, VARD completed a major rightsizing process during the quarter. Total headcount for the Brazilian operations has been trimmed to about 1,500, with a new Senior Vice President appointed to oversee sales and external relations to key stakeholders in Brazil.
In the equipment and solutions business, VARD's subsidiaries continue to develop new project opportunities in various market segments and geographies. SEAONICS recently secured a contract for a complete package of electrically-driven trawl winches and cranes for a trawler to be built for a Greenlandic client in Spain. Vard Marine was recognized for its capabilities when its design for a new Hydrographic/Oceanographic Survey vessel project for the South African Navy was selected together with the preferred bidder, Southern African Shipyards. In the aquaculture business, VARD broadened its product and service portfolio during the quarter, while aligning operations with the recently-acquired industry solution provider, Storvik Aqua. New contracts were secured for several projects, including one fish feed barge, one treatment vessel, and one fish farm operation platform, in addition to several small service vessels.
VARD continues to leverage on its strong industry reputation and core competencies to tap on opportunities in new markets. In 2016, the Group has seen success in its diversification efforts, making healthy headway into the market for expedition cruise vessels, with a total of six such vessels contracted during the year and one LoI for an additional vessel signed in early 2017. New project opportunities also arise from the fisheries and aquaculture segments. The Group's business diversification also includes repair, conversion and maintenance contracts, and the sale of equipment and solutions, including ship designs.
With the first cruise vessels contracted as part of VARD's new strategy now moving into the production stage, the Group focuses on developing the organization with new skills and resources to support the diversification effort also in operations. Strong cooperation with Fincantieri serves as a source of knowhow transfer in the cruise segment.
In the offshore oil & gas market, few newbuilding projects are currently being launched. For now, the Group remains focused on the delivery of its current order book, and on reducing the risks still inherent to the existing offshore project portfolio.
Roy Reite, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of VARD, commented, "We are grateful for the success we have seen in our diversification efforts, but we do not take our achievements for granted. In 2017, we remain sharply focused on laying the path for new business development to keep activities at our yards stable. We are fine-tuning our organizational structure to support our new business aspirations, with the objective of maintaining VARD's strong position as a provider of innovative, customized solutions to the global maritime industry ."

Revenues for 4Q 2016 were NOK 2.15 billion, down from NOK 3.32 billion in 4Q 2015. Revenues for FY2016 were NOK 7.89 billion, down 30% compared to FY2015. The reduction is caused by reduced activity especially at the European yards stemming from the low order intake in 2015 but also the effects of the previously announced cancellation of the vessel under construction for REM as well as the reclassification to inventory of the vessel previously under construction for Harkand, and the cessation of operations in Vard Niterói during the third quarter. The reduction is both related to own and subcontractor production.
EBITDA before restructuring cost was NOK 67 million for 4Q 2016 (4Q 2015: NOK 35 million) and NOK 168 million for FY2016 (FY2015: NOK 321 million negative). The EBITDA margin was increased from 1.1% in 4Q 2015 to 3.1% in 4Q 2016, while in FY2016 turned to positive 2.1% from 2.8% negative in FY2015. The improvement reported in FY2016 compared to FY2015 is primarily due the positive contribution of certain projects under construction in Europe as well as to the loss provisions accrued in 3Q 2015 related to projects at the Brazilian yards.
Following the delivery of two large OSCVs during 4Q 2016 and another one just after the quarter, the activity level at the Norwegian yards is reduced, with medium to low utilization partially mitigated by temporary layoffs at several of the yards. Repair, conversion and upgrade work is being taken on to support the activity level. In the areas of engineering and procurement for new projects within the cruise segment, the workload is generally high. In the area of basic design, a good cooperation with Fincantieri has been established.
In Romania, yard utilization is secured through 2018. Hull construction on VARD's first own cruise vessel projects has started, while the Module Carrier Vessel (MCV) project is progressing according to plan. Of the previously announced expansion of facilities at Vard Tulcea, the extension of the launching barge to accommodate vessels up to 210x49 meters has been completed. Preparations are ongoing for the installation of the new gantry crane in 2Q 2017. Management focus is now on ramping up capacity to handle the increasing workload. New skills and resources are required to support the diversification in operations, in particular in relation to the cruise segment.
The Vietnam yard continues to see stable operations and good utilization. The MCV project is progressing according to plan, and the yard in Vung Tau is cooperating closely with the yards in Romania through joint project management and sharing of best practices. Delivery of the OSCV for Farstad built in Vietnam is imminent following the transfer of the vessel to Norway for installation of the offshore crane.
Operations in Brazil are improving, but still considered challenging. A major rightsizing process has been completed; currently approximately 1500 employees work at the yard. Two PLSVs for Dofcon Navegação (DOF and Technip) and two LPG carriers for Transpetro are under construction. The focus is now on securing new work for the yard to maintain stable operations as work progresses on current projects. A new Senior Vice President for Brazil has been employed to oversee sales and external relations to key stakeholders.
In the Equipment & Solutions business, Vard Group companies continue to develop project opportunities in various market segments and geographies. After the end of the quarter, Seaonics secured a contract for a complete package of electrically driven trawl winches and cranes for a trawler to be built for a Greenland-based client in Spain. A Vard Marine design was selected with the preferred bidder Southern African Shipyards on the new Hydrographic/Oceanographic Survey vessel project for the South African Navy.
In the Aquaculture business area, the product and services portfolio is expanding. During 4Q 2016, VARD was awarded contracts for one fish feed barge, one treatment vessel, one fish farm operation platform as well as several small service vessels. Operations are being aligned with the recently acquired technology provider Storvik Aqua for further development of systems and solutions for this new market segment.
Restructuring cost of NOK 29 million in the quarter and NOK 105 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 are related to termination benefits and statutory payments for temporary redundancies, and are mainly due to the closure of the Niterói shipyard.

(All amounts in NOK millions unless otherwise stated)
Total non-current assets are stable when comparing 31 December 2016 with 31 December 2015.
Total current assets have decreased from NOK 17.14 billion as of 31 December 2015 to NOK 9.63 billion as of 31 December 2016. NOK 6.86 billion of the reduction is due to a decrease of Construction WIP in excess of prepayments. Such decrease is generated by the deliveries, and in particular the delivery of the high value complex OSCV projects in the twelve month period, as well as the cancellation of the vessel under construction for Rem Offshore, and the reclassification to inventory of the vessel originally under construction for Harkand.
Total equity attributable to equity holders of the Company decreased from NOK 3.80 billion to 2.27 billion when comparing 31 December 2016 with 31 December 2015 of which NOK 1.09 billion is related to the increase in ownership stake in Vard Promar from 50.5% to 95.15%. The increase in shareholdings results from a capital increase of BRL 532 million in Promar that, not being underwritten by minorities, is entirely taken up by Vard Group AS trough the conversion of shareholder loans into newly issued equity, with no cash consideration. As part of the overall agreement between VARD and its long term partner in Brazil, PJMR Empreendimentos Ltda. ("PJMR"), and providing for an amicable termination of the partnership, the parties have agreed (i) a consideration of BRL 6 million (NOK 16 million) to terminate the shareholders agreement and for the assignment of the preemptive rights that was satisfied in cash and (ii) put and call options for PJMR's remaining 4.85% shareholding in Vard Promar. Hence, from the date of the agreement the remaining non-controlling interest in Vard Promar has been derecognized from equity.
Total non-current liabilities have increased by 30% from NOK 1.41 billion as of 31 December 2015 to NOK 1.84 billion as of 31 December 2016, primarily due to the slot reservation fee received from FINCANTIERI related to the multi-year program with FINCANTIERI entered into during 1Q 2016.
Total current liabilities have decreased from NOK 16.53 billion end of 31 December 2015 to NOK 9.37 billion end of 31 December 2016. The reduction is mainly caused by (i) a reduction of construction loans as a consequence of the vessel deliveries mentioned above, (ii) a reduction of trade payables due to the lower production volumes compared to the previous year, and (iii) by a decrease of the fair value of the current derivatives following the delivery of two vessels with contracts denominated in USD as well as the strengthening of the NOK vs USD. The reduction of the loans and borrowings, current, is partially offset by an increase of the prepayments from clients in excess of construction WIP.
Depreciations and amortizations for the quarter and for the full year 2016 are somewhat lower when compared with 4Q 2015 and FY2015 due to lower investment levels in 2015 and 2016 compared to historical average. The impairment charges of NOK 23 million in 4Q 2015 and NOK 28 million in FY2015 relate to assets in Vard Niterói.
As a consequence of the items discussed above, the operating loss is equal to NOK 14 million for 4Q 2016 and NOK 142 million for the full year, recovering from a loss of NOK 67 million for 4Q 2015 and NOK 633 million for year ended 31 December 2015.
The net financial items went from NOK 92 million negative in 4Q 2015 to NOK 3 million negative in 4Q 2016 and from NOK 571 million negative for full year 2015 to NOK 41 million positive for the year ended 31 December 2016. The impairment of the shareholding in Rem Offshore ASA and the losses on firm commitment derivatives following the reclassification to inventory of the vessel originally under construction for Harkand, have been more than offset by the unrealized foreign exchange gains recorded in 2016. Share of results of associates were NOK 58 million negative in FY2016 due to the negative impact of impairments in associated ship-owning entities reflecting the down-turn in the offshore market.
Income tax expense was NOK 12 million in 4Q 2016 and NOK 38 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, compared to NOK 7 million and NOK 88 million in the corresponding periods last year. The effective tax rate is still relatively high because no deferred tax asset has been recognized related to entities generating losses in Brazil.
Because of the aforementioned reasons, the loss for the period was NOK 69 million in 4Q 2016 and NOK 197 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, compared to a loss of NOK 170 million in 4Q 2015 and NOK 1.29 billion for the year ended 31 December 2015.

(a) Current financial period reported on:
(b) Corresponding period of preceding financial year:
Cash flows from operating activities were NOK 617 million positive in 4Q 2016 compared to NOK 51 million negative in 4Q 2015. For FY2016 cash flows from operating activities were NOK 767 million positive, compared to NOK 1.18 billion negative in the corresponding period in 2015. Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in working capital. The positive cash flow in the quarter is mainly driven by the delivery of the OSCV Normand Maximus. On a year to date basis the cash flow from operating activities remains also positive thanks to vessel deliveries and instalments and fees received on other projects during the period.
Any dividend declared for the current financial period reported on? No
Cash flows used in investing activities were NOK 151 million in 4Q 2016, compared to NOK 66 million in the corresponding period of 2015. Cash flows used in investing activities were NOK 314 million in FY2016, compared to NOK 311 million in the corresponding period of 2015.
(c) Date payable Not applicable
Cash flows from financing activities were NOK 288 million negative in 4Q 2016, compared to NOK 8 million negative in 4Q 2015. Cash flows from financing activities were NOK 587 million negative in FY2016, compared to NOK 219 million positive in FY2015. The Group has not obtained any new loans during the quarter. NOK 205 million of the repayments during the fourth quarter relate to instalments paid on non-current loans.
Because of the aforementioned reasons, the cash and cash equivalents at the end of financial period are equal to NOK 722 million for the period ended 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: NOK 919 million).
The financial results for FY2016 are in line with the forecast statement provided in the report for 4Q and FY2015.
No Any dividend declared for the corresponding period of the immediately preceding financial year?
At the end of 2016, the order book value amounted to NOK 12.65 billion, significantly higher compared to NOK 10.23 billion at the end of 2015. New order intake during the quarter was equal to NOK 0.4 billion. Aggregate order value at the end of the quarter was NOK 21.98 billion, and the order book comprised 41 vessels, of which 35 will be of VARD's own design.
With a significant number of new orders secured in 2016 and the first cruise vessels moving into the production stage, VARD is in the midst of implementing its diversification strategy. As communicated earlier, new project opportunities continue to arise primarily from non-offshore market segments, including expedition cruise and fisheries. The business diversification also includes an increased share of repair, conversion and maintenance contracts, equipment and solutions, and aquaculture business. In the offshore sector, demand for newbuild projects is currently very limited; here, the focus is on the delivery of the existing order book and on reducing the significant counterparty risk still remaining in the project portfolio. The market entry into new segments is accompanied by organizational development initiatives supporting the diversification effort. In the cruise segment, VARD benefits from know-how transfer through continued cooperation with Fincantieri.
Yard utilization in Romania and Vietnam is secured for the near term as a result of the new orders acquired in 2016. The yards in Norway are still undergoing a phase of low utilization until the arrival of first cruise vessel hulls. At the Brevik yard, a recent contract for two ferries ensures the continuation of operations. Operations in Brazil are still considered challenging.
