- Net working capital changes due to:
- − Reduction of Work in Progress (-948 mln Q/Q) related to the cash-in of the final payment for the cruise ships delivered in the quarter
- − Increase of trade receivables (+301 mln Q/Q) related to the final installment of a cruise ship to be delivered in 2020

Cruise Industry Outlook
Consequences of the crisis
- 2020: a challenging year for shipowners and shipbuilders
- Cruise operators have withdrawn their guidance as the industry backlash is yet hardly quantifiable
Mitigants
Industry recovery…
…ensuring passenger safety
- Cruise operators are trying to weather the crisis and preserve going-concern
- i. by improving their liquidity positions (applying for debt holiday schemes by ECA agencies)
- ii. by securing additional funding instruments
- Diverging opinions about market recovery but a «measured comeback» starting from Q3 appears to be the base case scenario (also conditional to the easing of Government restrictions)1
«People want to travel. Europe must now gradually open up. Summer holidays are possible responsibly and with clear rules. We will reinvent the holiday in 2020»2 (F. Joussen, CEO of TUI Group)
• Cruise operators have offered flexible cancellation policies but vouchers are popular (76% - UBS report3 )
«The booked position for 2021 is within historical ranges when compared to same time last year with 2021 prices up mid single digits compared to 2020»4 (Royal Caribbean: Corporate press release)
• Ensuring passengers safety will be key to industry recovery:
«If the cruise lines do a good job, a cruise ship could be among the safest places to be anywhere»5 (F. Del Rio, CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line)
- We are working with the main cruise operators to implement onboard cruise ships innovative technological solutions, aimed at ensuring continuous sanitation of the vessels against bacteria and viruses
- Repeat cruisers (~55% of total cruise passengers) are more likely to go back on a cruise ship: the real challenge for cruise operators will be attracting new customers6

2020 Company Outlook
| COVID-19 | • • |
Yet too early to assess the full brunt of the effect of the pandemic Full-year results likely to be impacted by: • Lower production volumes and related operating inefficiencies (e.g. reduced operating leverage, sub optimal utilization rate of yards) • Extra costs related to: • Ensuring the health and safety of our employees (e.g. PPE, thermo-scanning devices, etc.) • Managing late deliveries |
|---|---|---|
| Safeguarding backlog |
• • |
Negotiations in progress with ship owners to arrange new delivery schedules. New delivery plans will also take into account suppliers' and subcontractors' effective availabilities% |
| Efforts towards diversification |
• | Increased commitment to ensure new opportunities (e.g. in the electronic & software system), aimed at improving business diversification and market visibility in order to successfully weather sector-specific cyclical lows |
| Outlook | • | FY2020 Guidance suspended |
