QUARTERLY REPORT 3RD QUARTER 2018

KONGSBERG

GEIR HÅØY president & CEO

"The acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine is a milestone that will make us a more complete and strategically important supplier in a competitive global market. The acquisition will considerably strengthen the company's operations and our goal is to create value for KONGSBERG's shareholders over time. We are delighted that the parliament acknowledges the strategic importance of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine, both for KONGSBERG and the Norwegian maritime industry. The order intake from the maritime market has been strong this quarter. However, it is important to emphasise that the market is still challenging and that the order intake is fluctuating considerably from one quarter to another. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace's revenues is temporarily down, but is well positioned for the future. The continuation of KONGSBERG as a supplier to the US CROWS programme confirms the leading position we have in this market."

Performance, market and orders

The Group recorded operating revenues of NOK 3,154 million during Q3, which is 3.8 percent down on the same quarter in 2017. KM has a reduction of 0.9 per cent. KDA has a reduction of 7.9 per cent, mainly due to lower operating revenues in Protech Systems.

The EBITDA margin ended at 11.0 per cent, compared to 8.4 per cent in Q3 2017. EBITDA in Q3 2018 adjusted for integration costs, is largely on a par with the corresponding quarter in 2017 adjusted for restructuring costs.

The order intake in Q3 was NOK 4,477 million, which gives a book/bill of 1.42. The order backlog is NOK 17,602 million at the end of the quarter, which is the highest level in two years. Book/bill is 1.68 in KM and 1.08 in KDA. The order intake fluctuates considerably over time as a result of large individual orders.

Aggregate operating revenues in 2018 are NOK 10,233 million, 4.7 per cent down on the same period last year. The air defence area in KDA is the main cause for the reduction. The EBITDA margin is 8.5 per cent (7.6 per cent).

Cash flow

KONGSBERG had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents during Q3 of NOK 360 million. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to NOK 462 million. In 2018 the change in cash and cash equivalents amount to NOK 34 million (NOK -249 million). Unlike 2017, there has been no payment of bond loans in 2018.

Currency

KONGSBERG has a currency policy that means that contractual currency flows are hedged by forward contracts (fair value hedges). In addition, the Group hedges a proportion of expected order intake for large contracts according to the established policy (cash flow hedges). The company's portfolio of cash flow hedges had a fair value of minus NOK 7 million at the end of the quarter, which had a negative impact on the book value of equity. See also Note 6.

Product development

KONGSBERG is continually investing in product development, through both self-financed and customer-funded programmes. Self-financed product development and maintenance during Q3 totalled NOK 218 million, of which NOK 33 million was capitalised. See the table in Note 7.

The largest capitalised projects relate to the development of a digital platform (Kognifai), the JSM missile, weapon stations, remote control towers for airports and the new integrated vessel solutions.

Customer-funded development comes in addition, either as part of delivery projects or as specific development assignments. Over time, the total costs of product development and maintenance account for about 10 per cent of the operating revenues.

Human resources

KONGSBERG had 6,761 employees at the end of the quarter, of whom around 34 per cent are employed by companies outside Norway. The number of employees was increased by 104 during the quarter, caused by among others, increased activity in KM customer support and project related increase in KDA.

Number of employees by business areas

Other activities

Other activities consist of Kongsberg Digital (KDI), real estate, group functions and eliminations between the business areas.

Acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine

On 6 July 2018, KONGSBERG entered into an agreement concerning the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine (RRCM) from Rolls-Royce Plc. The parties have agreed to value Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine at GBP 500 million. The final purchase price will depend on Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine's cash holdings, debt and working capital at the time of the transaction.

The acquisition of RRCM makes KONGSBERG a more holistic supplier to the maritime industry, which has experienced challenging market conditions in recent years. Although there is still uncertainty, KONGSBERG expects the market to grow, with technology and innovation as key drivers.

RRCM is a technology enterprise within maritime operations which supplies equipment and maintenance services to most segments within offshore and merchant vessels. The company's largest product group is propulsion systems, where RRCM is considered to be the leading supplier for offshore vessels. RRCM also supplies deck equipment, stabilising systems, ship design, electrical, automation and control systems and invests in digital technologies of the future, e.g. within autonomous vessels. RRCM has around 3,600 employees across 34 countries, of whom around 700 are service engineers split between 30 locations. Approximately 42 percent is employed in Norway.

KONGSBERG and Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine have many complementary products, solutions and expertise, and the acquisition is in line with KONGSBERG's ambition to grow as a world-leading technology supplier. The acquisition will strengthen KONGSBERG's strategic position amongst shipping companies, shipyards and other customers and partners. A summary of financial key figures is presented below for KONGSBERG, RRCM and pro forma for the combined company for 2017.

MNOK	KONGSBERG	RRCM	Adjustments	Pro-forma KONGSBERG
Operating revenues from external customers	14.490	8.744	-	23.234
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)	1.279	(410)	52	920
Operating profit (EBIT)	772	(659)	(87)	26
Profit for the year	559	(579)	(189)	(209)

The final completion of the transaction will require the approval of the competition authorities in a number of countries, a process which is expected to be completed during Q1 or early in Q2 2019. Ahead of this, KONGSBERG will secure the necessary financing for the acquisition through the announced rights issue of around NOK 5 billion and through issuing one or more bonds totalling up to NOK 2 billion. On 9 October 2018, parliament approved that the State, as represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, will participate in the announced rights issue with the government's pro rata share (50.001 per cent), provided that the conditions for the placement are acceptable and aligned with the market and that no new material information is received before the Annual General Meeting convenes to decide on the capital increase. The remaining shares of the rights issue (50 per cent) is guaranteed to be subscribed by a syndicate consisting of DNB Markets and Danske Bank A/S (30.1 per cent) and major pre-subscribed shareholders (19.9 per cent). Shareholders who at 6 July 2018 represented 21.99 per cent of the shares have undertaken to vote for the placement at KONGSBERG's general meeting. At 6 July 2018, the State and these shareholders represent 71.99 per cent of the shares in the company.

KONGSBERG MARITIME

Performance

Operating revenues in Q3 amounted to 1,798 million, which is one per cent down on the same quarter last year. Revenues are somewhat higher within the subsea area while it is a bit lower for deliveries to the new build market for traditional vessels. Activity in the after-market remains good. KM is exposed to most vessel segments. The diversified exposure offers robustness for the business area.

EBITDA in the quarter was NOK 205 million (NOK 161 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11.4 per cent (8.9 per cent). The margin in the quarter is influenced by lower development costs from reduced activity during the summer months. EBITDA in Q3 2018 includes NOK 25 million in integration costs related to the ongoing acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine. Margins in KM fluctuate considerably between quarters, mainly as a result of the project mix. Certain markets remain challenging, but adjustments have made KM more robust and better adapted to the current market.

Aggregate operating revenues at the end of Q3 are NOK 5,504 million, which is down 0.9 per cent compared to the same period last year. The decline within traditional vessel deliveries has largely been offset by an increase in other areas within KM. The EBITDA margin is 8.2 per cent, compared with 6.5 per cent last year.

Operating revenues

Market and orders

Order intake in Q3 was NOK 3,024 million, which gives a book/bill of 1.68. Aggregate order intake at the end of Q3 is NOK 7,031 million (NOK 5,643 million), corresponding to a book/bill of 1.28. All KM divisions have a higher order intake than last year. At the end of Q3 2018, the total increase for the divisions that deliver to the new build market (Vessel Systems and Solutions) is more than 30 per cent. KM has an order backlog of NOK 5,975 million (NOK 4,908 million) at the end of Q3.

The order intake from traditional merchant vessels has been good so far in 2018 compared to 2017. This is for a large part driven by order intake from the bulk carrier and tanker markets. LNG has also contributed significantly to order intake. Orders from the traditional offshore markets such as supply and drilling are still weak, but the order intake has developed positively for both offshore production vessels and construction vessels, compared to 2017.

The Solutions area, where KM delivers comprehensive integrated solutions, has had a good order intake in Q3. Order intake is primarily driven by three large orders:

• A USD 18 million contract for deliveries to a semi-submersible drilling unit that will be built at Keppel Offshore & Marine for Awilco Drilling.
• A contract valued at over NOK 400 million for deliveries to nine roll-on-roll-off vessels that will be built by Nanjing Jinling Shipyard for Grimaldi Group.
• A USD 13 million contract for deliveries to a heavy lift crane vessel that will be built by China Merchant Heavy Industries for Offshore Heavy Transport.

The strong quarterly order intake confirms that KM is established as a supplier of large integrated solutions.

Subsea also recorded a strong order intake both during the quarter and during the first three quarters of the year, primarily linked to the areas hydrography, fisheries and marine robotics (autonomous underwater vessels – AUV).

Global customer support continues having a high capacity utilisation. This is an important contributor to the improvement in KM's margin both during Q3 and for the first three quarters of the year.

KM is exposed to a number of markets. The traditional offshore market, which includes drilling and offshore supply, has been weak in recent years and the order intake from these markets has therefore been, and remains, very weak. At the same time, KM is also exposed to a number of markets which have shown a positive development. Examples of these are fisheries, research, marine robotics and passenger ferries. New regulatory requirements regarding emissions from vessels, combined with factors such as attractive new-build prices from shipyards, are also resulting in a positive trend linked to the construction of modern low-emission, energy-efficient solutions within a number of vessel segments. The good order intake and improved profitability so far in 2018 confirms that KM is able to adjust to changing market conditions. This has been achieved through restructurings and through a solid focus towards expanded scope of delivery and concepts for "new" markets.

KM's revenues from the after-market are not included in the business area's order backlog. KM has a well-established organisation that services more than 18,000 vessels with KM equipment, and after-market activity represents about one third of KM's turnover.

KONGSBERG DEFENCE & AEROSPACE

Performance

Operating revenues in Q3 amounted to NOK 1,180 million, 7.9 per cent down on the same quarter last year. The reduction is mainly driven by lower revenues in Protech Systems.

EBITDA during the quarter was NOK 120 million (NOK 61 million), resulting in an EBITDA margin of 10.2 per cent (4.8 per cent). In Q3 2017, KDA's EBITDA was negatively affected by restructuring costs, with NOK 85 million related to the merger of KDS and KPS. The EBITDA figure includes NOK 7 million in share of net income from Patria, compared to NOK 10 million in Q3 2017.

Patria's quarterly operating revenues amounted to EUR 93 million, which is up 6.9 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Most of the growth comes from the Systems division and is related to the Hamina contract that was signed in January. The vehicle operation has lower activity due to weak order intake this year, which causes the EBITDA margin to go down this quarter compared to last year. EBITDA in Q3 is EUR 10 million as compared to EUR 11 million in the same quarter last year. See also Note 5.

Aggregate operating revenues at the end of Q3 are NOK 4,206 million, which is down 9.5 per cent compared to the same period last year. Especially the first two quarters of 2017 were characterised by a high level of activity relating to the air defence programme that KDA signed with Raytheon in 2014. This is now in its final phase and the reduction in operating revenues so far this year is primarily due to less activity in this project. Two air defence contracts were signed in autumn 2017 which are still in the start-up phase. The EBITDA margin in Q3 ended at 11.7 per cent (8.4 per cent).

The major delivery and development projects are on schedule.

Operating revenues

Market and orders

Order intake in Q3 totalled NOK 1,272 million (NOK 648 million), which gives a book/bill of 1.08. Aggregate order intake at the end of Q3 is NOK 5,115 million (NOK 2,208 million), corresponding to a book/bill of 1.22. KDA had an order backlog of NOK 10,867 million (NOK 8,476 million) at the end of Q3, which is the highest level since 2016.

In September 2018, KDA was selected as a supplier for the next phase of the CROWS programme. It involves a frame agreement with a value of up to USD 498 million over the next five years. The first order (USD 74 million) under the agreement was also signed in September. This is the third frame agreement following the US Army's choice of KONGSBERG's Protector system as its preferred remote controlled weapon station in 2007. Since then KONGSBERG has delivered over 12,5000 systems to the US through the CROWS programme, which has also been used for deliveries to the US Navy, US Air-force and US Marine Corps. This makes KONGSBERG by far the leading global player in this market.

KDA has a product portfolio that is well adapted to future demands and anticipated future market development. KONGSBERG's missiles, air defence systems, remote weapon stations, weapon control systems and other command/control systems attract considerable international attention. At the same time, there is a high level of market activity in relation to a number of major programmes in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia. KONGSBERG is also the largest supplier of equipment and services for the space industry in the Nordic region, and there is increasing activity in this segment.

The defence market is characterised by relatively few, but large contracts. Hence, fluctuations in orders are regarded to be normal. KONGSBERG expects a good order intake over the next few years as a result of the strong market position held by KDA in its segments. Investments in defence programmes are often long-term processes. The customers of major defence systems are the defence authorities in the countries concerned. When purchasing defence equipment, these customers consider national security and domestic economic development to be significant factors, alongside product price and performance. National budgets and political constraints will therefore strongly influence whether, and if so when, contracts are signed with KONGSBERG.

As a consequence of the announced rights issue in connection with the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine, the Group will not make any forecasting comments in this report.

Note 1 | General information and principles

General information

The consolidated financial statements for Q3 (interim financial statements) apply to Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, its subsidiaries and shares in joint arrangements and associated companies that are recognised according to the equity method.

Principles

Interim financial statements are compiled in accordance with IAS 34 (interim reporting), stock exchange regulations and the additional requirements of the Securities Trading Act. Interim financial statements do not include the same amount of information as the full financial statements and should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements for 2017. The consolidated financial statements for 2017 were prepared in compliance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and international standards for financial reporting (IFRS) laid down by the EU.

The consolidated financial statements for 2017 are available at www.kongsberg.com. New standards that have been applied in 2018 are described in Note 2 of this report.

The interim financial statements have not been audited.

Note 2 | New standards as of 1.1.2018

KONGSBERG has implemented two new accounting standards with effect from 1 January 2018: IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. The interim financial statements as from Q1 2018 were compiled according to these accounting standards. Implementation of the new standards did not have a significant impact on the income statement or equity for 2017.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9, Financial instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, as well as hedge accounting. The standard replaces IAS 39. The implementation of IFRS 9 did not involve any major changes compared to how the Group reported according to IAS 39.

IFRS 15 Revenues from contracts with customers

According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when the customer gains control over goods or services. The standard also introduces a five-step method for assessing the timing of revenue. This includes an assessment of whether or not contracts should be split into part-deliveries, price allocation for delivery obligations and whether revenue should be recognised during production or upon delivery. The standard replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction contracts and related interpretations. KONGSBERG has carried out comprehensive assessments of contracts with customers as regards the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, and has reached the following conclusions:

• The Group largely recognised revenue based on the project's percentage completion in accordance with IAS 11, with progress of completion normally being calculated based on costs incurred compared to total anticipated costs. KONGSBERG has maintained this practice following the implementation of IFRS 15 on 1 January 2018.
• Customer contracts that involve the delivery of several more or less identical units (serial delivery) are considered as a single performance obligation according to IFRS 15. The Group has several customer contracts of this type, which in 2017 were considered to be separate deliveries and recognised as revenue upon delivery according to IAS 18. The change had no significant impact on contracts that were delivered in 2017, but may

have an effect on revenue recognition of customer contracts involving serial deliveries in the future.

• IFRS 15 contains more detailed provisions than IAS 11 and IAS 18. This concerns the recognition of contingent considerations, costs associated with tenders, waste cost, financing elements in contracts and costs associated with meeting contractual obligations. These provisions do not affect KONGSBERG to any significant extent.

The standard contains new requirements regarding notes which will be implemented in the 2018 financial statements.

In connection with the implementation of IFRS 15, we have also revised the practising of the accounting principles in the segments. We have revised our definitions of the individual accounting lines under working capital (see the definition in Note 12) and reclassifications were made which affected "Inventories", "Trade receivables", "Customer contracts, assets", "Other current assets", "Customer contracts, liabilities" and "Other current liabilities and provisions", but not total working capital. The results of the changes are shown below.

Effect on Statement of financial status 31.12.2017:

	REPORTED	CHANGE	RESTATED	COMMENTS
		Increase/
	31.12.2017	(decrease)	31.12.2017

Other non-current liabilities and provisions	4 670	(907)	3 763	f)
Total decrease liabilities		(167)

a) Inventories

Until 1 January 2018, KONGSBERG classified goods purchased for specific customer contracts and parts of projects in progress as inventories. When implementing IFRS 15, this part of inventories was reclassified as "Customer contracts, assets" and "Customer contracts, liabilities".

From 1 January 2018, KONGSBERG defines inventories as follows: "Inventories of raw materials, work in progress and finished products that are not related to specific customer contracts."

b) Trade receivables

Until 1 January 2018, trade receivables relating to long-term production costs were recognised at net value against recognised prepayments within the same contract. From 1 January 2018, trade receivables are reported at the value of outstanding invoiced amounts adjusted down for provisions for losses. Upon updating of the comparative figures, reclassification was implemented with the counter-item "Customer contracts, liabilities".

c) Customer contracts, assets

With the exception of trade receivables, KONGSBERG has collected together all asset items associated with customer contracts on this line. This includes accrued, non-invoiced revenue, prepayments to subcontractors, goods which have been purchased or allocated to customer contracts, but which have not been altered or led to progress being made on the project and work in progress for projects that are recognised upon delivery. Until 1 January 2018, balance sheet items relating to long-term production costs were reported on a separate line as "Construction contracts in progress, assets", while assets relating to sales that were recognised upon delivery were classified as "Inventories" and "Other short-term receivables".

d) Other current assets

Prepayments to suppliers in connection with customer contracts and the accrual of revenue in connection with customer contracts were reclassified to the balance sheet line "Customer contracts, assets" when the comparative figures for 2017 were changed.

e) Customer contracts, liabilities

With the exception of trade payables, all liabilities relating to customer contracts are collected together on this line. Similar assets, balance sheet items for customer contracts that are recognised according to progress are presented together with assets that are recognised upon delivery. Revenue and cost accruals relating to customer contracts that are recognised upon delivery were reclassified from "Other current liabilities" when the comparative figures for 2017 were changed.

f) Other current liabilities

See the explanation of the reclassification under point e) above.

Note 3 | Estimates

Preparation of the interim financial statements involves assessments, estimates and assumptions that impact on the use of accounting principles and recognised amounts for assets and liabilities, revenues and costs. Actual results may deviate from these estimates. The key assessments in connection with the application of the Group's accounting principles, and the biggest sources of uncertainty, remain the same as when the 2017 consolidated financial statements were prepared.

Note 6 | Financial instruments

Loans and credit facilities

The bond loan KOG07 with a nominal value of NOK 250 million, in addition to associated interest rate swaps with a fair value of NOK 4 million, have in Q3 been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.8 per cent and matures on 11 September 2019. Associated interest rate swaps (fixed to floating) mature at the same time as the loan. Apart from this, the Group has reclassified other interest-bearing loans at a nominal value of NOK 53 million to short-term debt.

Long-term loans:

			30.9.2018	31.12.2017

1) Value is equal to nominal amount. For long-term loans, the carrying amount is equal to the nominal amount.

2) "Other long-term loans" consists of smaller loans in local banks in some of the Group's subsidiaries

3) The bond loan KOG07 with a nominal value of NOK 250 million, in addition to associated interest rate swaps with a fair value of NOK 4 million, have been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt as of 30 September.

Forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps

The fair value of balances classified as cash flow hedges increased by NOK 35 million2) before tax during the period 1 January – 30 September 2018. Of this amount, the change in fair value of forward exchange contracts accounted for a reduction of NOK 83 million during the same period. The end of quarter spot rates were USD/ NOK 8.18 and EUR/NOK 9.47.

Forward exchange contracts classified as cash fllow hedges:

	Due in 2018			Due in 2019 or later
MNOK (before tax)	Value based on agreed exchange rates	Fair value at 30.09.18 1)	Value based on agreed exchange rates	Fair value at 30.09.18 1)	Value based on agreed exchange rates	Change in fair value from 31.12.17	Fair value at 30.09.18 1)

Total	1 490	31	(5 416)	(134)	(3 926)	(7) 2)	(103)

1) Fair value is calculated as the difference between the spot rate at 30 September 2018 and the forward rates on currency contracts.

2) The difference between these two figures i.e. MNOK 42, is ascribable to a change in fair values of basis swaps and interest rate swaps.

3) The acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine (GBP 500 million) is hedged by a Deal Contingency Forward (conditional currency hedge

without any risk to KONGSBERG).

The largest capitalised projects relate to the development of a digital platform (Kognifai), JSM, weapon stations (including MCT-30) and remote towers for airports.

Note 8 | Related parties

The Board is not aware of any changes or transactions in Q3 associated with related parties that in any significant way affects the Group's financial position and profit for the period.

Note 9 | Important risk and uncertainty factors

The Group's risk management is described in the 2017 annual report. No new significant risk and uncertainty factors emerged during the quarter.

Note 10 | Tax

The effective tax rate as of Q3 is calculated to be 20.5 per cent. The effective tax rate is affected by the fact that shares of net income from associated companies are recognised after tax.

Note 11 | Acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine

On 6 July 2018, KONGSBERG entered into an agreement concerning the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine (RRCM) from Rolls-Royce Plc. The parties have agreed to value Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine at GBP 500 million. The final purchase price will depend on Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine's cash holdings, debt and working capital at the time of the transaction. See page 9 for more information.

Note 12 | Definitions

KONGSBERG uses terms in the consolidated financial statements that are not anchored in the IFRS accounting standards. Our definitions and explanations of these terms follow below.

EBITDA/EBITA/EBIT are considered by KONGSBERG to be normal accounting terms, but they are not included in the IFRS accounting standards. EBITDA is an abbreviation for "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation". KONGSBERG uses EBITDA in the income statement as a summation line for other accounting lines. These accounting lines are defined in our accounting principles, which form part of the financial statements for 2017. The same applies to EBITA and EBIT.

Net interest-bearing debt is the net amount of the accounting lines "Cash and cash equivalents", "Long-term interest-bearing loans" and "Short-term interest-bearing loans".

Restructuring costs are defined by KONGSBERG as salaries and employer's National Insurance contributions upon termination of employment (such as severance pay and gift pension) in connection with workforce reductions. In addition to this are rent and other related costs and any one-off payments in the event of the premature termination of tenancy agreements for premises that are vacated, along with certain other costs relating to restructuring processes.

Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) is defined as the 12-month rolling EBIT divided by the 12-month mean of recognised equity and net interest-bearing debt.

Working capital is defined as current assets minus cash and cash equivalents, non-interest-bearing current liabilities (except tax payable) and financial instruments recognised at fair value.

Book/bill is order intake divided by operating revenues.

Disclaimer: In the event of any discrepancy between the Norwegian and English versions of KONGSBERG's quarterly reports, the Norwegian version is the authoritative one.
