Order intake and backlog Breakdown by segment

  • Total backlog at €32.7 bln, covering ~6 years of work if compared to 2019 revenues
  • Backlog up 12.0% vs 2018
  • 2018 soft backlog substantially converted into backlog

(1) Sum of backlog and soft backlog

(2) 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) 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

(2) Offshore business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

:

Revenues

  • Record-high revenues at €5,849 mln (+8.0% vs FY 2018)
  • Shipbuilding revenues up 8.8% on the back of increased volumes both in Italy and at Vard
  • Offshore revenues down 29.4%, with volume decrease related to the lack of orders in the core market
  • Equipment, Systems & Services revenues up 38.1% thanks to positive backlog deployment

(1) Breakdown calculated on total revenues before eliminations

(2) Restated following the dismissal of small fishery and aquaculture support vessels business (Vard Aukra yard)

EBITDA

  • EBITDA at €320 mln with EBITDA margin at 5.5%
  • Excellent profitability of the Italian operations negatively affected by Vard cruise performance
  • − Positive contribution from Equipment, Systems & Services
  • Negative margin in Offshore & Specialized Vessels following the revision of costs at completion for several projects

(1) EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. The Company defines EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period before (i) income taxes, (ii) share of profit/(loss) from equity investments, (iii) income/expense from investments, (iv) finance costs, (v) finance income, (vi) depreciation and amortization, (vii) wages guarantee fund – Cassa Integrazione Guadagni , (viii) expenses for corporate restructuring, (ix) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (x) other non recurring items (2) Restated following the disposal of small fishery and aquaculture support vessels business (Vard Aukra yard)

Net result

• Increased FX charges (partially non-cash)

  • Increased extraordinary and non recurring items:
    • − €53 mln for litigations (€40 mln for asbestos-related claims)
    • − €9 mln restructuring charges
    • − €5 mln other non recurring expenses
  • Negative net result from discontinued operations arising from the disposal of small fishery and aquaculture support vessels business (Vard Aukra yard)

(1) Net result before extraordinary and non recurring items

Capital expenditure

  • Tangible capex mainly related to:
    • − Upgrading Italian yards in order to adjust the production capacity to the construction of large vessels and substantially higher volumes
    • − Improving safety and environmental conditions in all production sites
    • − Conversion of Vard Tulcea and Vard Braila to cruise activities

Net working capital(1)

Breakdown by main components

  • Increase of Work in progress and trade payables due to the growth of production volumes with 2 cruise ships delivered in the first 3 months of 2020
  • Increase of construction loans, with majority related to Italian operations

(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 financial position

• Increase of net debt mainly related to investments and cruise-specific financial dynamics

(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

Outlook

  • COVID-19: since its outbreak, COVID-19 posed a major threat to national healthcare systems, social wellbeing and the global economy, thus urging Government Authorities to undertake strict countermeasures and lockdown protocols
  • Tackling the emergency: Fincantieri reacted promptly to protect the health of its employees and those of the subcontractor network, by implementing preventive measures and suspending production activities at Italian shipyards from March 16, 2020
  • Assessing and monitoring risks: the management is actively involved in the daily monitoring of the evolution of the emergency, in order to ensure proactive management of its potential effects. Impact on Group activities in 2020 likely related to:
    • Production programs
    • Supply chain
    • Personnel
    • Capital expenditures
    • Commercial negotiations
  • Focus on preserving cruise backlog: with cruise tourism as one of the most affected sectors and cruise operators being forced to suspend operations early on, Fincantieri's priority and commitment are focused on the support to our customers and strategic partners in order to protect the acquired backlog
  • Additional efforts in other segments: increased commitment to effectively secure new opportunities in naval and continuous focus on diversification in key areas such as technology & electronics and infrastructure
  • Solid financial structure: to the extent that the situation stabilizes within a reasonable timeframe, the Group's financial structure is adequate to cope with the effects of the emergency
  • Business Plan 2020-2024: as soon as the developments of the emergency allow a clearer analysis of the possible impacts, the Company will finalize the new business plan and promptly communicate to the market
