(1) For reasons connected to the organizational responsibility of VARD yards split between Cruise and Offshore, "Coral Geographer" for Coral Expeditions delivered in Q1 2021 is included in the Offshore & Specialized Vessels deliveries

Backlog deployment

Fully preserved order backlog with visibility stretching up to 2029 in Naval

units delivered, 3 new orders, and 98 ships in backlog

  • (1) 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) For reasons connected to the organizational responsibility of VARD yards split between Cruise and Offshore, one cruise vessel (for Coral Expeditions) delivered in Q1 2021 is included in the Offshore & Specialized Vessels deliveries
  • (3) Offshore & Specialized Vessels business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Order intake and backlog

Order intake is still limited but long-term visibility is confirmed

  • Limited order intake in Shipbuilding with a wait-and-see attitude on the restart of cruise operations
  • 3 Service Operation Vessels acquired in the Wind Offshore segment
  • Total backlog at €34.4, approximately 6.6x 2020 revenues

(1) Total backlog is the sum of backlog and soft backlog

(2) Order intake/revenues excluding pass-through activities

(3) Excluding pass-through activities

(4) 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

Revenues

Top-line growth on the right track: full swing of production programmes driving revenues up 9.1% YoY

Revenues breakdown by segment(1)

Shipbuilding Offshore & Specialized Vessels Equipment, Systems & Services Other activities and Eliminations Cruise Naval

Revenues excluding pass-through activities up 9.1% YoY thanks to resumption of operations and full swing of production programmes

  • Shipbuilding up 12.8% YoY excluding pass-through activities
  • Offshore & Specialized Vessels down 23.5% due to (i) disposal of Brevik shipyard (ii) effects of market repositioning on higher-value added segments still to unwind
  • Equipment, Systems & Services: up 13.4%

(1) Breakdown calculated before eliminations

EBITDA

€ mln

Operating profitability at 7.0% is in line with 4Q 2020 performance and 2021 guidance

EBITDA breakdown by segment(1)

Significantly improved profitability on track with previous quarter positive performance and guidance for 2021

  • Shipbuilding up 39% YoY with margin at 7.8% confirming good backlog profitability
  • Offshore & Specialized Vessels up to € 2 mln from negative €1 mln as a result of the successful turnaround strategy implemented in 2019 and market repositioning
  • Equipment, Systems & Services down 16.7% YoY due to lower profitability in Ship Repair and Conversion

EBITDA Margin as % of total revenues

Shipbuilding Offshore & Specialized Vessels Equipment, Systems & Services Other activities and Eliminations

(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) expenses for corporate restructuring, (viii) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (ix) other non recurring items

Net working capital and net financial position

NWC and net debt increase are consistent with the delivery schedule: deleveraging expected by year-end

  • Net debt mirrors net working capital dynamics driven by a concentrated delivery schedule
  • Deleveraging starting from 3Q

(1) Construction loans are committed working capital financing facilities, treated as part of Net working capital, not in Net debt, as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts

OUTLOOK

E-MARKET
SDIR
CERTIFIED

2021 Company outlook

  • In the US, the CDC may reportedly be open to lift or modify the Conditional Sailing Order in Europe cruise operations are about to be resumed starting from late spring/early summer
  • Strong 2022 booking volumes for cruises are ahead of pre COVID-19 levels and are driven by pent-up demand
  • Operations to run at full swing with a production ramp-up expected to bridge the gap experienced in 2020
  • Long-term growth and profitability are ensured by a fully preserved order portfolio in Cruise and a highly diversified backlog
  • Sound revenue growth expected to accelerate in the remaining part of the year
  • Increase in net financial position (owing to a delivery schedule concentrated in 3Q) expected to rapidly reverse in the second half of 2021
  • Confirmed guidance on year-end:
  • Revenues excluding pass-through activities will be up 25%-30% and EBITDA margin is expected at ~7.0%
  • Net financial position is expected to come in broadly in line with 2020
