(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) Ships with length > 40 m; 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

| Net Debt | 494 | 505 |
(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 and Net debt dynamics mirror:
- − The increase in production volumes
- − The cash-in of the final payments for the cruise ships delivered in the quarter
- − The delivery of a vessel that was included in the inventory following the order cancellation
- Construction loans at € 545 mln (€ 395 mln Vard and € 150 mln Fincantieri)
Outlook

- ‒ Growth trend for revenues with an EBITDA margin confirmed to be in line with 2018
- ‒ Expected increase in net debt due to working capital financing needs
Shipbuilding
- Delivery of 8 additional units, of which 6 cruise ships and 2 naval units
- Full swing production of both the Italian Navy's fleet renewal program and the order for the Qatari Ministry of Defense, with delivery of the first unit due in 2021
2019 Guidance
Offshore & Specialized Vessels
• Continuing execution of VARD's diversified backlog and organizational and production adjustments aimed at margin recovery, including alignment of headcount to the production needs of some shipyards
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 the lengthening and infrastructure activities
