1H 2015 Key Highlights
Key Business Highlights
- Significant order intake leading to an all-time high backlog at € 12.0 BN, together with an important soft backlog(1) of € 7.2 BN at the end of 1H 2015, totalling € 19.2 BN, guarantees long-term visibility on Group revenues
- Shipbuilding segment
- ‒ In Cruise, signing of two strategic agreements with Carnival Corporation & plc and Virgin Cruises for the construction of 5 ships and additional options and 3 innovative cruise ships respectively
- ‒ In Naval, acquisition of the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program (6 Multipurpose Offshore Patrol Ship units, 1 Logistic Support Ship unit and 1 Multipurpose Amphibious unit) and the continuation of both FREMM (2 units) and LCS programs (2 units(2))
- Offshore segment
- ‒ Very low order intake with only one new order in a still very challenging market environment in the short term, but with opportunities in some specialized segments
- ‒ Still weak operating performance of Brazilian shipyards coupled with initial decline of activity levels at some European shipyards
- ‒ In this context, VARD enhances its focus on efficiency measures, increase of flexibility and cost cutting initiatives also through the start of workforce reduction program in Europe
(1) Soft backlog represents the value of existing contract options and letters of intent as well as contracts under negotiation, none of which yet reflected in the order backlog (2) 1 LCS unit along with advanced procurement funding for another ship and a priced option for one additional ship

(1) With the aim to provide a meaningful index to measure the Group financial results, the Group adopts an EBITDA definition which normalizes the trend of results over time, and increases the level of comparability of the same results by excluding the impact of non recurring and extraordinary operating items; for the same reason, the Group also monitors Net Income before non recurring and extraordinary items (both operating and financials) (2) Excluding extraordinary and non recurring Items net of tax effect

(1) 1 LCS unit along with advanced procurement funding for another ship and a priced option for one additional ship
(2) 1 ATB (Articulated Tug Barge) unit - articulated unit consisting of a barge and a tug, thus being counted as two vessels in one unit
(3) Soft backlog represents the value of existing contract options and letters of intent as well as contracts under negotiation, none of which yet reflected in the order backlog
Comments
- Order intake at € 4.2 BN (€ 3.4 BN in 1H 2014)
- ‒ Shipbuilding at € 3.8 BN, related to the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program (8 units), the continuation of FREMM (2 units) and LCS programs (2 units(1)) and 2 (2) vessels for petroleum/chemical transportation
- ‒ Offshore at € 140 MM (1 OSCV)
- ‒ Equipment, Systems & Services at € 306 MM

- ‒ Shipbuilding at € 10.0 BN
- ‒ Offshore at € 1.6 BN
- ‒ Equipment, Systems & Services at € 513 MM
- Soft backlog(3) at € 7.2 BN mainly related to the strategic agreements with Carnival and Virgin for 5 and 3 innovative cruise ships respectively
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 (excluding 3 RB-M for US Coast Guard, all delivered in 1H 2015)
(3) All deliveries scheduled for 2015, including the vessels already delivered in 1H 2015
(4) Offshore business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval
• Cruise
- − Visibility of deliveries up to 2018 without considering the agreements with Carnival (5 ships with delivery over the period 2019 – 2022) and Virgin (3 ships with delivery over the period 2020 - 2022)
- − Extension of delivery dates vs. year-end 2014, agreed with clients, from 2016 to 1H 2017, for two cruise ships in order to reach a better workload balance
- Naval
18
- − Orders for the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program and continuation of LCS and FREMM programs extended visibility of deliveries up to 2025, with 8 units scheduled for delivery after 2020
- Offshore(4)
- − Terminated two contracts following the filing for insolvency of two clients, thus excluding them from backlog until contract with new client is secured
- − Production schedules adjusted following extension of delivery dates on several projects, resulting in improved workload balance
Revenues – by segment and end market
Comments
- 2,220 Shipbuilding revenues at € 1.6 BN, increased by 25% from 1H 2014
- − In 1H 2015 higher volumes in cruise weighting 37% on total revenues vs. 31% in 1H 2014
- − In naval, the increase in revenues is mainly driven by US subsidiary (FMG) contribution benefiting from the USD strengthening compared to 1H 2014
- Offshore revenues at € 626 MM, down 8% vs. 1H 2014 mainly due to the negative effect of NOK/EUR exchange rate
- Equipment, Systems and Services revenues at € 95 MM, up 11% vs. 1H 2014, due to the increase of volumes of systems and components
(1) Breakdown calculated on total revenues before eliminations
EBITDA(1) by segment
(1) EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. The Company defines EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period before (i) income taxes, (ii) share of profit/(loss) from equity investments, (iii) income/expense from investments, (iv) finance costs, (v) finance income, (vi) depreciation and amortisation, (vii) extraordinary wages guarantee fund – Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria, (viii) expenses for corporate restructuring, (ix) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (x) other non recurring items
- Group EBITDA at € 128 MM, down by 10% from 1H 2014, with margin at 5.8% affected by lower profitability in Offshore
- Shipbuilding EBITDA at € 103 MM, with margin at 6.6%, increase mainly driven by the growth in volumes leading to better capacity utilization in Italy
- − Cruise margins still affected by prices related to orders acquired during crisis
- Offshore EBITDA at € 29 MM, with margin at 4.6% from 9.6% in 1H 2014 due to:
- − Continuing weak operating performance in Brazil, where difficult political and economic situation persists
- − Gradual decrease in activity levels at some VARD shipyards in Europe
- Equipment, Systems & Services EBITDA at € 11 MM, with margin at 11.9%, increased vs. 1H 2014 due to a better product mix

- − Higher finance expenses (€ + 34 MM) which include unrealized foreign exchange losses related to VARD for € 16 MM
- − Extraordinary and non recurring items gross of tax effect at € 16 MM related to extraordinary wage guarantee fund costs (€ 2 MM), costs for restructuring plans (€ 4 MM) and asbestos claims (€ 10 MM)
- Profit/(loss) for the period at € (19) MM (€ 33 MM in 1H 2014)
- − Result attributable to owners of the parent at € 12 MM (€ 24 MM in 1H 2014)
Capital expenditures
Net working capital(1)
Breakdown by main components Comments
(1) Construction loans are committed working capital financing facilities, treated as part of Net working capital, not in Net financial position, as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts
- Net working capital at the end of 1H 2015 increased to € 299 MM, compared to € 69 MM for FY 2014 with:
- ‒ Increase in inventories and advances (€ + 73 MM) and in work in progress (€ + 454 MM) driven by growth of volumes in cruise
- ‒ Decrease in trade receivables (€ 178 MM) and in trade payables (€ - 30 MM)
- ‒ Decrease in other current assets and liabilities (€ - 146 MM) mainly related to changes in fair value of forex derivatives
- In 1H 2015 finalized a € 150 MM construction loan dedicated to cruise business which has not been drawn down yet and therefore not included in construction loans figure
Net financial position(1)
Breakdown by main components Comments
2015 at € 220 MM of net debt, mainly due to higher financing requirements resulting from the growth of volumes in cruise business
(1) Net financial position does not account for construction loans as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts
Key financial ratios
Comments
- ROI at 11.2% for 1H 2015 reflects the increase in net invested capital and EBIT decrease compared to 1H 2014
- ROE at 0.3% significantly affected by the reduction of profitability in 1H 2015
- Net debt / EBITDA increases slightly at 0.8x for 1H 2015, compared to 0.6x in 1H 2014
- Net debt / Equity at 0.1x and Gross debt / Equity at 0.5x for 1H 2015, in line with 1H 2014
(1) Ratios calculated based on economic parameters related to 12 months trailing (from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 and from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015)
Outlook
- Sustained order intake expected for the remaining part of 2015, notably related to the Shipbuilding segment given the expected conversion into orders of the agreements with (i) Carnival for 5 next-generation cruise ships and (ii) Virgin Cruises for 3 cruise prototypes
- Shipbuilding segment
- ‒ Significant increase in design and production volumes to be managed (5 deliveries of cruise units in 2016 of which 4 prototypes)
- Further development of Group skills and competencies through recruitment of highly qualified personnel
- Strengthening of the subcontractor network
- ‒ Margins continue to be affected by prices related to cruise orders acquired during crisis and currently under construction, as well as by still suboptimal production capacity utilization in Italy
- ‒ Reduced production volumes in naval, despite the start of activities related to the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program
- Offshore segment
- ‒ Market remains very challenging; new order outlook still weak in the near term notably for the North Sea market
- ‒ Opportunities exist in some specialized segments, both within offshore oil & gas and in other niche markets
- ‒ High activity in concept design as Vard aims to create new projects and reach out to new clients, markets and segments
- ‒ Adjusting capacity flexibly in line with the new order development is key to minimizing the impact of underutilization in the European yards
- ‒ Strict cost control and avoidance of further delays are top priorities in Brazil
- Equipment, Systems and Services segment
- ‒ Further volumes growth resulting from the diversification strategy implemented by the company
- ‒ Expected confirmation of positive margin trend with focus going forward on further enhancement of product portfolio and development of new technologies
