(*) Order backlog includes 50% of Joint venture backlog.
Turnover for the Group has decreased compared to last year, mainly due to decreased activity in the segments Container/Bulk/Tank, Multipurpose/General Cargo and Offshore.
The EBITDA for the 4th quarter of 2014 was positive by MNOK 141,8, of which MNOK 105,7 is related to one time effects from change in pension plan in the Norwegian companies.
EBITDA in the $4th$ quarter, excluding pension adjustments, is MNOK 36 (-110), and up from MNOK 2,2 in the 3rd quarter of 2014. Improvement of margins in all segments, and especially service contributes positively to the result. However, low utilization in the Container/Bulk/Tank, Multipurpose/General Cargo and Offshore segments, as well as poor project performance in some large projects, still cause a drag in overall profit.
Order intake for the 4th quarter of 2014 was MNOK 498, compared to MNOK 775 in the fourth quarter of 2013, the main reason being low order intake in the offshore segment. New sales reported from JV companies continue at an acceptable level.
The order backlog* was MNOK 3 627, up from MNOK 2 971 at the end of 2013. *including 50% of the order backlog, 1186 (519), from the joint ventures.
TOTAL ASSETS AND NET INTEREST BEARING DEBT
Total assets at the end of 4th quarter 2014 was MNOK 2 304, an increase of MNOK 79 since 2013. The change is mainly due to increased receivables and work in progress. Net working capital has increased by approximately MNOK 12 during this quarter. The net working capital is negative MNOK 35.
In the 4th quarter of 2014 net interest bearing debt decreased by MNOK 21 to MNOK 262.
TTS has covenants for both equity ratio and 12 months rolling EBITDA related to its debt and bonding facilities with Nordea and DNB. During the 4th quarter, a set of renegotiated covenants have been established (ref. note 14)
The debt and bonding facilities mature in the $4th$ quarter 2015. The Group's bank loans of MNOK 100 have been classified as short term debt in the reported balance at 31 Dec.
There were no conversions in the subordinated convertible bond in the fourth quarter.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The company has prepared the interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting principles applied are explained in detail in the 2013 annual report. There were no changes to the accounting principles in 2014.
SEGMENTS
As from the $3^{rd}$ quarter of 2014, TTS reports its operations in 6 business segments.
| Q4 periodic | Full Year | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNOK | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | |
| Turnover | 157 | 149 | 599 | 562 | |
| EBITDA | 25 | 11 | 77 | 53 | |
| EBITDA margin (%) | 16.2 | 7,4 | 12,9 | 9,4 | |
| Order backlog | 854 | 762 | 854 | 762 |
RoRo/Cruise/Navy (RCN)
The RCN segment reports improvement in both turnover and profit. The results reflect TTS Group's strong position in the PCTC-market.
The outlook for the segment is positive. Order backlog gives a sound basis for the segment in the quarters to come. Proven solutions, and repeat orders from demanding customers within the PCTC market gives basis for high activity, and the market for Cruise and Navy is positive.
Container/Bulk/Tank (CBT)
| Q4 periodic | Full Year | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNOK | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | |
| Turnover | 105 | 167 | 422 | 535 | |
| EBITDA | $-7$ | $-52$ | -5 | $-71$ | |
| EBITDA margin (%) | $-7.1$ | $-31.1$ | $-1,1$ | $-13.2$ | |
| Order backlog *) | 687 | 1 0 5 6 | .687 | 1056 |
*Order backlog includes 50% of joint venture.
The turnover in $4th$ quarter is reduced from last year. YTD turnover is affected by generally lower activity at South Korean yards, as well as fierce market competition. Focus on overall efficiency, and the TTS-Momentum initiative contributes to a strong EBITDA improvement from last year. The reported profit is negatively affected by restructuring cost related to transfer of operations from Germany to South Korea. Profit from JV-companies in the 4th quarter is MNOK 3, and MNOK 14 year to date.
Improvement of order backlog is in general related to a solid order intake and order reserve in the JV-companies.
The outlook for the segment is neutral. As a consequence of fierce market competition, the profit margins are pressed. TTS is currently completing the reorganizing of the segment, including transfer of product responsibility and the production process to South Korea.
Offshore
| Q4 periodic | Full Year | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNOK | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | |
| Turnover | 210 | 143 | 572 | 608 | |
| EBITDA | 33 | $-75$ | $-50$ | $-114$ | |
| EBITDA margin (%) | 15,5 | $-52,6$ | $-8,7$ | $-18.7$ | |
| Order backlog | 254 | 539 | 254 | 539 |
Reported EBITDA in the quarter is positively affected by pension adjustments of MNOK 37.
Although EBITDA has improved significantly compared to the same quarter in 2013. the margin reflects that a few projects still have significant cost overruns.
Order backlog has decreased by MNOK 285 from 4th quarter 2013, due to low order intake and challenging market conditions.
TTS has taken strong cost-reducing measures to adjust activities and capacity to the current slow market. Following the segment restructuring in 2014, new adjustments are being evaluated in order to match capacity with order backlog and market conditions. The segment is expected to show low utilization and low margins in the quarters to come. Based on adjustments in production capacity, feedback on performance and reliability in our product range, we still find the segment to have a positive future potential.
Multipurpose/General Cargo
| Q4 periodic | Full Year | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNOK | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | |
| Turnover | 47 | 138 | 374 | ||
| EBITDA | $-1$ | $-13$ | $-32$ | $-35$ | |
| EBITDA margin (%) | $-2.4$ | $-153,7$ | $-23,2$ | $-9.2$ | |
| Order backlog | 562 | 307 | 562 | 307 |
Full year turnover reflects the slow market in the segment for the past two years. Although still reporting a quarterly loss, the EBITDA improvement compared to last vear is significant.
As indicated by the increased order backlog, the market for heavy lift cranes is improving. Cost cutting initiatives in 2013, where TTS Group levelled the seament capacity to a slow market, gives basis for TTS to take part in an improved market. In December 2014, TTS NMF GmbH (controlled by TTS Group) and South China Marine Machinery Ltd (controlled by China State Shipbuilding Company Ltd), established a new joint venture in China to strengthen the economic cooperation and exchange of technical knowledge between the two organizations.
Shipyard Solutions
| Q4 periodic | Full Year | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNOK | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | |
| Turnover | 53 | 58 | 192 | 168 | |
| EBITDA | 27 | 32 | 18 | ||
| EBITDA margin (%) | 50,8 | 15,9 | 16,9 | 10,5 | |
| Order backlog | 271 | 308 | 271 | 308 |
The 2014 figures reflect the segment's strong market position in a moderately sized niche market for shiplift and transfer systems. Adjusted for positive pension effects of MNOK 19,5 in the 4th quarter, and MNOK 17 for the full year, the segment reports profitability in line with 2013.
The order backlog represents a sound operational fundament for the quarters to come. Being the major player in a niche market, restructuring and productivity focus in the shipyard industry is driving both demand and timing.

| MNOK | 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 |
| Turnover | 162 | 113 | 530 | 446 |
| EBITDA | 64 | 18 | 96 | 43 |
| EBITDA margin (%) | 39,5 | 15,6 | 18,2 | 9,7 |
Turnover YTD 2014 has increased by 19% compared to turnover in 2013. Turnover in the $4th$ quarter increased by 43 % compared to $4th$ quarter 2013.
EBITDA margin in the segment is still improving, and is closing in on our peer competitors. Adjusted for positive pension effects of MNOK 40 in Q4, and MNOK 37 for the full year, the segment still reports improved profitability of 37% compared to 2013.
During 3rd quarter a service unit has been set up in Houston. In the 2nd quarter, TTS established a service unit in Brazil.
Structural capacity in the segment provide basis for increased turnover, and improvement to the overall profit margin, however the service market remains influenced by low ship charter rates in some segments.
OUTLOOK
TTS on track to improve profitability
- Revenues* for TTS Group expected to grow to NOK 2,1-2,3 billion in 2015
- EBITDA margins* for TTS Group expected to improve to approx, 6% in 2015
- TTS expect a modest revenue growth in 2016, with margins approaching industry average level
* Offshore segment excluded as it is currently exposed to a weaker market sentiment, and has a different risk profile compared to the rest of the group
The total market is improving in line with increased demand for sea transport activity in most segments. TTS Group expects a period of future growth, and our market share has increased somewhat. Within the RoRo/Cruise/Navy segment, the PCTC market has been favorable for TTS, and we expect the strong market to continue. Multipurpose/General Cargo has shown a positive development, which we expect to continue. Market expectations for the Container/Bulk/Tank segment are positive for the Chinese market, with stronger competition in South Korea. The Service market is still influenced by low ship charter rates. The Offshore market is expected to remain tough.
During 2014 TTS Group has implemented initiatives to adjust capacity towards a shifted demand, improve internal processes, and focus on the overall value chain. Market initiatives are taken to provide ship-type solutions to key customers. Effects of the actions taken will continue into 2015, and are expected to contribute positively in the quarters to come.
TTS Group has a strategy to grow its product portfolio and service offering. Sales of larger bundled equipment packages and solutions will improve efficiency for both shipyards and ship owners. The company has therefore reorganized its business units from a product focus to a ship-type focus. The aim is to increase the order value per ship and increase TTS' market position, both in China and internationally.
In order to position the TTS Group for this growth the Board of Directors of TTS Group has decided to run a strategic process to explore opportunities for both acquisitions and partnerships.

Note 6 Related parties
Note 21 and accounting principles section 2.2 in the consolidated financial statements of 2013 describe the principles related to elimination of transactions between group subsidiaries. Eliminated transactions have no significance for the financial position and profit for the period.
The Group has carried out various transactions with subsidiaries and joint ventures. All the transactions have been carried out as part of the ordinary operations and at arm's length prices.

Note 7 Tax
TTS Group is taxable in more than one jurisdiction based on its operations. A loss in one jurisdiction may not be offset against taxable income in another jurisdiction. Thus, the Group may pay tax within some jurisdictions even though it might have an overall loss or have tax losses exceeding taxable profit at the consolidated level. Based on challenging markets in the offshore market, deferred tax asset in the Norwegian companies has been impaired by MNOK 20 in the 4th quarter. The change is presented as tax. Remaining tax cost is in general related to payable taxes in different jurisdictions.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax reflects the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. The net recognized deferred tax consists of the following:
| 31.12.2014 | 31.12.2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gross deferred tax asset 1 / Brutto utsatt skattefordel 1) | 31 152 | 57 748 |
| Gross deferred tax liability1)/ Brutto utsatt skatteforpliktelse1) | $-31336$ | $-30.929$ |
| Net deferred tax asset $(+)$ / liability $(-)$ Netto utsatt skattefordel $(+)$ / -forpliktelse $(-)$ | $-183$ | 26 819 |
1) Gross deferred tax asset is recognized as intangible assets and gross deferred tax liability is recognized as provisions
1) Brutto utsatt skattefordel er innregnet som immateriell eiendel og brutto utsatt skatteforpliktelse er innregnet som avsetning for forpliktelser
Recognized deferred tax asset primarily relates to tax losses in the Norwegian companies. The criteria that have been utilized to estimate that future taxable profit can be utilized against deferred tax losses are:
. The Group will have taxable profits before unused tax losses expire
• The Group has sufficient temporary differences
. Tax losses result from particular identifiable causes
Based on changed market outlook in the Offshore segment, deferred tax asset in the Norwegian companies has been impaired by MNOK 20. Deferred tax asset in Norwegian companies that is not recognized in the balance sheet at yearend is close to MNOK 135.
Note 8 Goodwill and other intangible assets
TTS Group tests the value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually or at the end of each reporting period if any indication that the assets may be impaired.
TTS shares are freely traded at Oslo Stock Exchange. Closing price of last trading date in 2014 was NOK 4,47 per share, indicating a nominal trade value of TTS of MNOK 386,4. Book value of the equity at 31.12.2014 was MNOK 630.3.
For the subsidiary NMF, which was acquired in the 3rd quarter of 2012, the results are weaker than expected. TTS Group expects improved results, and has concluded that the value in use is higher than the book value. The future market development could have a material impact in the impairment test.
TTS Group considers that there are no major events, major changes in assumptions or other new information indicating a changed assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets from year-end 2013. At 31th of December 2014 TTS Group has evaluated, however found no basis for impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets. Future market development could have a material impact in the impairment test.
