(**) 2015 EBITDA includes positive one off effect from consolidating TTS Hua Hai (THH) of MNOK 104 and negative effect of MNOK 38 from restructuring and impairment cost in the Offshore Segment.

The order intake for 1st quarter 2016 was MNOK 529, a significant increase compared to MNOK 301 in 1st quarter 2015. The largest contributors to the increase of order intake are Business units RoRo/Cruise/Navy and Container/Bulk/Tank, including THH order intake of MNOK 63.

The order backlog* at the end of 1st quarter reached NOK 3.6 billon (3.2 billion), of which approximately NOK 2 billion is expected to be turned into revenue in the remaining three quarters of 2016.

*including 50% of the order backlog, 257 (1 170), from equity consolidated investments in China.

1st quarter turnover was MNOK 766 including THH, compared to 593 in 1st quarter last year when THH was not consolidated. Turnover reported from THH in 1st quarter 2016 was MNOK 207. The turnover for the 100% owned parts of the group is reduced with 5,7% compared to 1st quarter last year.

EBITDA in the 1st quarter was positive by MNOK 26, an increase of MNOK 25 compared to 1st quarter 2015, which particularly reflects improved results from the Offshore unit and the consolidation of THH with an EBITDA 1st quarter 2016 of MNOK10.

TOTAL ASSETS AND NET INTEREST BEARING DEBT

Total assets at the end of 1st quarter 2016 was MNOK 2 878, a decrease of MNOK 147 since yearend 2015. Net working capital at the end of the quarter is negative MNOK 8.

In the 1st quarter of 2016 net interest bearing debt increased by MNOK 65 from MNOK 108 to MNOK 173. The increase of the net interest bearing debt is influenced by the decrease of cash in THH of MNOK 90 during the quarter. The effect of the consolidation of THH and TTS SCM represents a total reduction of the reported net interest bearing debt of MNOK 246.

In December 2015, the bondholders agreed to an extension of the subordinated convertible debt until 18 April 2017. The TTS Group ASA General Assembly approved the extension the 5th January 2016.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

$D_0D_0/C_{\text{min}}/N_{\text{min}}/D/2N$

The company has prepared the interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting principles applied are explained in detail in the 2015 annual report. There are no changes to the accounting principles in 2016.

SEGMENTS

TTS reports its operations in 6 business segments.

RURUIGIUISEINAVY (RUN)
Q1 Periodic Full Year
MNOK 2016 2015 2015
Turnover 143 160 641
EBITDA 10 15 62
Order backlog 925 706 941

The RCN segment continues to report positive quarterly figures, which reflect the TTS Group's strong position within the RoRo market, and particularly the PCTCsegment (PureCarTruckCarrier). However, quarterly margin is affected by increased cost in some Port-projects.

The outlook for the segment is positive. The order backlog at the end of the quarter was MNOK 925 compared to MNOK 706 at the end of 1st quarter 2015. Going forward, we see a somewhat softer market for car carriers, being replaced by higher activity in the market for RoPax and Cruise.

Container/Bulk/Tank (CBT)

MNOK Q 1 Αr
2016 2015 2015
Omsetning 270 72 973
EBITDA** 2 141
Ordrereserve (*) 1825 1601 2090

(*) Order reserve includes 50% of order reserve in equity consolidated investments in China.

(**) One off effect from consolidating TTS Hua Hai included in full year 2015 off MNOK 104.

Change of consolidation from the equity method to full consolidation of the 50 % owned company THH from 2nd quarter 2015, explains the major part of the reported increase in revenue and margin compared to 1st quarter 2015. Included in 1st quarter 2016 is a turnover of MNOK 207 and an EBITDA MNOK 10 from THH.

Turnover from fully owned companies within the segment in the quarter of MNOK 64 is on level with 1st quarter 2015 (MNOK 72). Impairment of accounts receivable contributes negatively to the EBITDA (MNOK -6). Focus on overall efficiency and restructuring initiatives has compensated for the effect of price pressure and currency effects on cost, giving an underlying EBITDA-margin on level with last year.

Profit share from equity consolidated investments in the 1st quarter shows a negative contribution of MNOK 4, due to reduced utilization of the Jiangnan steel production plant in China (company owned 40% by THH).

Increased activity in the winch-market in South-Korea had a positive effect on order intake in 1st quarter. Activity in THH for the bulk market has been slower, however compensated by orders for containerships and multi-purpose vessels, supported by new orders of MNOK 94 announced in April 2016.

Despite price pressure from Korean yards, the group's expectations are moderately positive. A weak handy-bulk market is balanced by increased activity within mega cape-size bulk and feeder container.

Offshore (OFF)

MNOK Q1 Periodic Full Year
2016 2015 2015
Turnover 70 79 359
EBITDA* 5 $-24$ $-102$
Order backlog 186 230 219

(*) During 2015, EBITDA was reduced by MNOK 38 related to restructuring cost and inventory impairment in the business unit

The Offshore market is still slow with low activity and visibility.

TTS has completed large loss-generating projects and has taken strong costreducing measures to adjust activities and capacity to the current offshore market. which leads to a significantly improved EBITDA for the segment. Several adjustments have been made in 2014/2015, and continue into 2016 in order to match capacity with order backlog and market conditions. The number of full time employee equivalents has from the peak in 3rd quarter 2014 been reduced by almost 70%.

The Offshore market is expected to remain harsh in 2016 and 2017. The segment is consequently expected to show low utilization and low margins in the quarters to come. The cost base has come down from the downsizing of the Business Unit during 2015. The structure of the remaining business gives the possibility to further adjust cost and capacity through 2016 to adapt to the prevailing market conditions.

Multipurpose/General Cargo (MPG)
Q1
MNOK 2016 2015 2015
Omsetning 71 94 259
EBITDA -5 -4 $-13$
Ordrereserve (*) 509 445 573

The Multipurpose/General Cargo segment shows a slightly reduced turnover compared to the same quarter last year, and an EBITDA on level with Q1 last year.

Restructuring of the segment in 2014 and start-up of the 50 % owned TTS SCM in China in 2015, creates a good position for TTS to take a fair share of a market which we expect will grow. The solid order backlog and the improving market for heavy lift cranes give prospects for higher activity and improved profitability going forward.

Shipyard Solutions (SYS)

Q1 Periodic
MNOK 2016 2015 2015
Turnover 69 51 216
EBITDA* 7 4 17
Order backlog 184 265 204

The 1st quarter figures reflect the segment's market position in a niche market for shiplift and transfer systems and other logistics solutions for the production industry.

TTS Syncrolift continues its stable positive trend from previous quarters, further developing the marked for shiplifts and transfer systems after the acquisition of SyncoliftTM in $3^{rd}$ quarter 2015.

TTS Liftec, which is a substantial supplier within the European niche market for translifters, delivers turnover and positive EBITDA on par with the same quarter last year, adapting to a market with increased competition.

The order backlog represents a sound operational fundament for the quarters to come. The MNOK 100 order reported in April 2016 confirms the market potential for shiplifts and transfer systems, where we believe there is potential for further growth.

Services (SER)

Q1 Periodic Full Year
MNOK 2016 2015 2015
Turnover 138 136 591
EBITDA * 13 13 76

Both turnover and EBITDA for the Services segment in 1st quarter of 2016 is on the same level as 1st quarter 2015, continuing the stable positive trend from the previous quarters.

During 1st quarter 2016. TTS Group has strengthened the service network via establishment of subsidiaries in United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and Belgium (Antwerp).

Market demand in the segment and historical installed base provides a platform for further increase in turnover at acceptable profit margins although the service market still remains influenced by low ship charter rates in some segments.

OUTLOOK

The total shipbuilding market is expected to develop in line with increased demand for sea transport. TTS Group expects to follow the total market development.

Within the RoRo/Cruise/Navy segment, the PCTC market seems to be somewhat softer, but we see higher activity within the Ropax and Trailer RoRo segments. The activity in the cruise market is expected to grow, with increased Chinese activity being an important factor. The Multipurpose General Cargo segment has shown a positive development, which we expect will continue, particularly in China, Going forward we expect the overall Services market to be relatively stable with some underlying growth. For the Container/Bulk/Tank segment, the market for medium sized bulk vessels remains weak, and we observe an increased risk of cancellations in the bulk market. There is, however a clear tendency of increased demand for mega size bulk. The overall Container market is positive, with a move of prospects from mega-size container to smaller feeder-size vessels. New build activity within the product and tank sector is still good, but has decreased in the 1st quarter. For Shipyard Solutions, we see a positive development of the market for shiplifts. The Offshore market is expected to remain weak.

At the end of 1st quarter 2016, the TTS Group has a total order backlog of NOK 3.6 billion, of which approximately NOK 2 billion is expected to be turned into revenue in the remaining quarters of 2016.

During 2014 and 2015, TTS Group has implemented initiatives to adjust capacity to shifting demands, which continue through 2016. In addition, TTS Group is running several cost improvement programs within process reengineering, sourcing and fabrication, as well as product standardization.

Market initiatives are taken to provide ship-type solutions to key customers. The effects of the actions taken are expected to contribute positively in the years to come. TTS Group works actively 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. This is supported by the company's organization of its business units based on ship-type, with the aim to offer complete equipment packages for ship types 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 further growth, the Board of Directors of TTS Group continues the strategic process initiated in February 2015 to explore structural opportunities.

This condensed consolidated 1th quarter interim report of 2016 was approved by the Board on 10th of May 2016.

Judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the interim report requires the use of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual future outcome may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these consolidated interim financial statements, the key assessments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting principles and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31st of December 2015.

Note 6 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.

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:

31.03.2016 31.03.2015 31.12.2015
Gross deferred tax asset 1 / Brutto utsatt skattefordel 11 40 212 32 518 43 221

Net deferred tax asset $(+)$ liability $(-)$ Netto utsatt skattefordel $(+)$ /-forpliktelse $(-)$ $-13.594$ 3580 $-8,360$
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 and German companies, as well as short term tax differences from the Chinese 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

Note 7 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 March 2016 was NOK 3.15 per share, indicating a nominal trade value of TTS of MNOK 273. Booked equity value at 31.03.2016 was MNOK 632 excluding minority interest.

At the end of 1st quarter 2016 TTS Group has not identified any changes in the overall financial market that give basis for a significant change in the average cost of capital.

For the subsidiary TTS NMF Gmbh, which was acquired in the 3rd quarter of 2012. the inherent CGU relates to the total activity in the company. Although the results have been weaker than expected, improved utilization in the newbuild section and a strong development in the cross-related service section, support that the value in use exceed book value. Operations so far in 2016 is in line with expectations. Order intake 1st quarter 2016 is below expectations, however we expect order intake to pick up during the remaining quarters of 2016. Future market development may have material impact on the impairment test.

During the past two years, the Offshore segment in TTS has experienced substantial losses on its activity, combined with a low order intake. Changes in the segment structure combined with market conditions which remain challenging, gave basis for impairment of goodwill in 2015. Market development in 2016 is still weak, however allocated intangible assets to BUOFF is at around MNOK 12 and a planned straight line depreciation of close to 4 MNOK per year.

Governing agreements for the 50/50 owned company TTS Hua Hai (THH) was changed during 2nd quarter 2015. Additional information is in the annual 2015 report note 27. Please note that the purchase price allocation is based on estimates and is subject to change according to IFRS structure.

TTS Liftec, which is a well-recognized supplier within the European niche market for translifters is experiencing increased market competition. Based on market outlook and margins, an impairment of goodwill of MNOK 19 (2mEUR) was allocated to the $4th$ quarter 2015. Remaining goodwill allocated is MEUR 2.4. TTS Group believes that market development in 2016 is in line with the expectations at yearend 2015.

During 4th quarter 2015 TTS Group, via the Service segment, acquired a minor entity in Italy. Purchase price allocation was based on estimates and is subject to change according to IFRS structure.

TTS Group considers that there are no major events, changes in assumptions or other new information indicating a change in the valuation of goodwill or other intangible assets from year-end 2015 in the other business segments. Estimates related to future market expectations could have material impact on the impairment test.
