Shipbuilding - Cruise: strategy and action plan

Description		Timing/status
Revenue growth	• Development of the important backlog and soft backlog as of today (over 90% of 2016-2020 revenues covered by contracts and/or MOA), driven by a strong and dedicated management team • Commercial synergies with Vard (e.g. recent Vard order from Ponant: client retention)	• Ongoing
Consolidation of positive pricing trend	• Demand conditions allow for consolidation of this trend • Positive impact on income statement starting from 2017	• 1H 2017
Backlog de-risking	• Leverage of the engineering effort made for prototypes in delivery in 2016: over the business plan horizon delivery of mostly sister ships and quasi-sister ships • Current Cruise backlog only entails 2 full prototypes (MSC and Virgin) to be delivered in 2017-2020	• Ongoing
Production/engineering synergies with Vard	• Support of Cruise production plan through: − Operational integration of Tulcea shipyard with the Italian shipyards in order to design and build complex sections of cruise ships − Implementation of a specific procurement strategy to exploit low cost production platform advantages − Support of Tulcea yard in developing capabilities to build complete cruise vessels of lower complexity − Utilisation of Vard engineering facilities	• Ongoing
Capex plan	• New capex to serve the important Cruise production plan and to leverage on market dynamics (bigger cruise ships): − Improvement of workflow and capacity at Monfalcone and Marghera shipyards − New design tools and processes	• 2016-2017
Increase of workforce productivity and flexibility	• Agreement with the trade unions on a "second layer" labour contract introducing new forms of performance based compensation, based on productivity and efficiency targets to the workforce	• 2016

	the continuation of the program − 9 vessels in backlog − 1 option − tender for the continuation of the program • Significant share of Business Plan revenues covered by contracts, options and commercial negotiations with high likelihood of finalisation	• Deliveries up to 2020 • Option to be funded in 2016 • Tender from 2016 onward

• Expansion in new markets, leveraging well-proven products with new potential clients

Shipbuilding: quantifying main drivers of growth and increasing profitability

Cruise ships >90k TSL: revenues per lower berth by delivery year

• Fewer prototypes to be delivered from 2017: lower execution risks, better margins

• Positive trend due to progressive kick-in of ships acquired after the crisis

• Increase towards the end of Business Plan horizon thanks to the Italian Navy program and development of opportunities abroad

Offshore: market overview

Description

Offshore Oil&Gas: forecast (2016-2020)

• Negative outlook for PSV and AHTS demand due to oversupply following oil price fall and significant postponements of drilling projects
• Opportunities in OSCV sub-segment, notably in Middle East region
• Expected recovery in demand starting from 2018

New business opportunities

• Offshore wind: expected installed capacity in 2020 at 27,9 GW (2014-2020 CAGR at 23%)
• Aquaculture: sustained market growth with increasing complexity related to higher technological and industrial contents
• Exploration cruise: strong market growth (e.g. recent Vard LOI from Ponant)

Short and medium term financial targets (1/2)

Short and medium term financial targets (2/2)

• Current funding needs driven by higher cruise volumes, implying a relevant amount of working capital employed in construction projects due to payment terms of cruise contracts
• This trend is expected to continue during 2016 due to deployment of cruise backlog and production timing of naval programs

• Fincantieri is well prepared to cover the expected funding needs thanks to the available credit lines (approx. € 1.0 BN for Fincantieri S.p.A. only, of which € 590 MM of committed revolving credit facilities, € 150 MM of committed construction loans and € 260 MM of uncommitted credit lines) and the utilization of structured funding sources (reverse factoring and other forms of construction financing currently under negotiation). Trend of working capital vs. construction loans and gross short term debt is as follows:

• Future cash flow generation sustained by increased profitability on backlog, generating available cash once cruise growth has reached steady state, allowing for:

• − Capex funding
• − Net debt reduction
• − Dividend distribution (starting with 2017 net income)
