Coral Adventurer


(1) Sum of backlog and soft backlog
(2) Restated following the reorganization of VARD
(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


(1) For reasons connected to the organizational responsibility of VARD yards split between Cruise and Offshore, one fishery vessel (for Havfisk) scheduled for delivery in 2020 is included in the cruise deliveries and two Expedition cruise vessels (for Coral Expeditions) the first one delivered in 2019 and the second scheduled for delivery in 2020 are included in Offshore & Specialized Vessels
(2) Articulated Tug Barge (ATB) is an articulated unit consisting of a barge and a tug, thus being counted as two vessels in one unit
(3) Offshore & Specialized Vessels business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

(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
2019 Guidance

• Net debt expected to slightly decrease following the delivery of 3 cruise ships in October, even if financing needs for the units in production and scheduled for delivery remain high
• Confirmation of the revenues growth trend thanks to: backlog development relating to naval contracts, higher volumes for the production of cabins and public areas for cruise ships, as well as infrastructure activities
