- Record order intake at € 6.6 bln
- Contracts signed for 15 units, including 11 cruise ships for 5 different brands and 1 naval unit
- Total backlog with 108 units at € 33.1 bln, approximately 6.1 times 2018 revenues
- Backlog up 34% vs. 1H 2018
(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

Backlog deployment Breakdown by segment and end market

(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) scheduled for delivery in 2019 and 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) 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
• Increase of net debt consistent with investments of the period and cruise business dynamics with higher production volumes expected in the coming months

Outlook
• The good performance of the Shipbuilding segment allows us to reiterate the Group guidance for 2019, despite the challenging context in the Offshore and Specialized Vessels sector,
- 2019 results expected to be in line with 2018 and consistent with 2018-2022 Business Plan guidelines
- ‒ Growth trend for revenues with an EBITDA margin confirmed to be in line with 2018
- ‒ Expected temporary increase in net debt due to working capital financing needs
Shipbuilding
- Delivery of 4 additional units, of which 3 cruise ships and 1 naval vessel
- Full swing of production activities related to the order for the Qatari Ministry of Defense with 3 units under construction, the first of which is scheduled for delivery in 2021 Guidance
Offshore & Specialized Vessels
- Continuing execution of VARD's diversified backlog and organizational and production adjustments
- Restructuring plan aimed at margin recovery in the medium term currently under definition includes leveraging of experience on innovative products and technologies in segments not directly linked to Oil&Gas sector
Equipment, Systems & Services
• Confirmation of the 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
