Nekkar — Management Reports 2019

Feb 22, 2019

CEO Letter

TTS Group (the "Company" or "TTS") increased the order back log in 2018, and delivered the best EBITDA result since 2015.

Due to the Cargotec transaction, the accounts are presented in accordance with IFRS 5, hence the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" represent the continued business (TTS Group ASA and TTS Syncrolift AS), while discontinued business (the activity transferred to Cargotec through the expected transaction), is presented on a separate line as "Profit/loss from discontinued business".

TTS delivered a good performance in 2018, despite of having many market segments close to the bottom in the current market cycle. Hence, the market conditions in many of the key markets remained challenging with hard bid competition, and squeeze on gross margins. In addition, the delay in the expected closing of the Cargotec transaction has an unfavorable influence on the operational performance of the business. Even with the conditions described above, the reported EBITDA of MNOK 80 was nominally the highest since 2015 despite a significant reduced revenue level close to 67% of 2015 revenue.

In addition, the order intake has been on the positive side, and the overall book to bill is 1.3 for 2018 in total. The order backlog of MNOK 2930 is more diverse and solid compared to 2017.

The BU SYS (continued business) results in 2018 was an all-time high. Both revenue and results were higher compared to 2017.

Continued Business (Includes Syncrolift AS and TTS Group ASA)

4Q 2018: The reported EBITDA for the continued business was MNOK 0 for 4Q 2018 compared to MNOK 8 in 4Q 2017. The decrease in EBITDA is mainly due to a higher share of Group costs for the quarter. Revenue decreased with MNOK 6 to MNOK 45, and is mainly related to timing of revenue recognition for the Syncrolift projects. The activity levels in Syncrolift is still high.

Syncrolift secured new orders during the quarter, and the order backlog was MNOK 629 compared to MNOK 458 at the end of 4Q 2017. The order book is near the all-time high.

Full Year 2018: EBITDA was MNOK 20 in 2018 compared to MNOK 11 in 2017. Revenue increased with MNOK 9 to MNOK 220. The increase in revenue and the strong operating performance is related to Syncrolift, which experienced an increase in revenue and margins during 2018. 2017 EBITDA was negatively impacted by a MNOK 5 restructuring cost in TTS Group ASA.

TTS Group Total (Includes both continued and discontinued business)

4Q 2018: TTS reported an EBITDA of MNOK 7 for 4Q 2018 up from a loss of MNOK 2 in 4Q 2017. Revenue increased with MNOK 25 to MNOK 566. The company made a MNOK 24 bad debt provision related to an old project, vs MNOK 24 in 4Q 2017.

The order intake in the quarter was MNOK 591, which was an increase of MNOK 43 from 4Q 2017.

Full Year 2018: The EBITDA margin increased from 2.4% to 3.9%, and EBITDA increased with MNOK 27 to MNOK 80 from 2017, despite a MNOK 118 reduction in revenue to MNOK 2 063. 2018 included MNOK 24 of one-off costs compared MNOK 63 in 2017.

The company's financing facilities were due to expire in January 2019, and therefore prolonged in December 2018. New maturity dates are 1 July 2019 for the banking facilities, and 18 July 2019 for the unsecured bond loan.

Update on the Cargotec Transaction

TTS notified the Oslo Stock Exchange on 27 December 2018 that Cargotec received clearance of the transaction from the Korean competition authorities. The Company is awaiting clearance from the Chinese competition authorities and will complete the transaction after receiving these approvals. The closing is expected to take place by the end of Q1 2019.

TTS GROUP Board Report

EFFECT FROM CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The implementation of IFRS 15, which was made effective as of 1 January 2018, has no material impact on continued business (no change in revenue recognition). However, IFRS 15 has material impact on the revenue recognition for the discontinued business (going from over-time to point-in-time revenue recognition). Additional information is presented in Note 11.

The implementation of IFRS 9 effective as of 1 January 2018 has no impact on neither continued nor discontinued business.

TTS Group's management reporting as of 1 January 2018 is based on IAS 11/ IAS 18 revenue recognition principles.

SHIPYARD SOLUTIONS

BU SYS delivered revenues of MNOK 42 and EBITDA of MNOK 6 in 4Q 2018 vs. revenues of MNOK 51 and EBITDA of MNOK 6 in 4Q 2017. Syncrolift continues to perform well. The decrease in revenue and EBITDA is timing and not performance related.

The order book in Syncrolift is still high at year end following an all-time high last quarter, and the activity levels are expected to remain high going forward based on the strong order book, high utilization of resources, and a strong market.

SHIPYARD SOLUTIONS (BU SYS)	4Q		Full Year
MNOK	2018	2017	2018	2017
Revenue	4 2	5 1	218	204
EBITDA	6	6	4 2	3 1
EBITDA margin	14,2 %	12,4 %	19,2 %	15,3 %
Order backlog	629	458	629	458

OUTLOOK

Continued Business [4]

For BU SYS, the order intake in 2018 was very strong, and the market outlook is good. The ongoing business is running well, and the order backlog will ensure high activity levels into 2020.

TTS Group Total [5]

Although the activity levels in the shipbuilding industry was significantly higher than in 2017. The number of new building contracts increased with more than 25%. However, persistent price competition in China and Korea resulted in pressure on margins. The company is positioned to take advantage of the increased activity in the industry, and expect to revert to higher revenue during 2019. The tender activity in the offshore and renewable business have improved throughout 2018. This has resulted in contract awards, which over time should increase revenue and profitability.

The group's financing facilities expire in July 2019. TTS will work towards ensuring that the company has adequate financing in place in case of the unlikely event that the Cargotec transaction should not be consummated.

The Board will propose a special dividend based on the available dividend capacity after the closing of the Cargotec transaction.

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Reporting entity

TTS Group ASA is registered and domiciled in Norway, and the head office is located in Bergen.

Due to the Cargotec transaction, the accounts are presented in accordance with IFRS 5, non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Hence the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" represents the "continued business" (TTS Group ASA and TTS Syncrolift AS), whilst "discontinued business "(the activity transferred to Cargotec through the expected transaction), is presented on a separate line as "Profit/loss from discontinued business". For the "Consolidated statement of Financial Position", assets, and liabilities relating to the activity expected to be transferred to Cargotec, are presented on a separate line as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale". In the notes to the 4Q Report, the focus is on continued business. For further information, please see note 12 and 13 to the report.

Jointly controlled and associated companies are accounted for using the equity method. 50/50 owned companies, controlled via agreement are fully consolidated.

The annual report 2017 is available at the company website www.ttsgroup.com.

The Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements for the year 2017 on the 27 April 2018.

Basis of preparation

TTS Group's financial reports are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for 4Q 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The interim accounts do not include all the information required for a full financial statement and should therefore be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements of 2017.

The Group has initially adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1. January 2018 (Ref. note 11). The changes in accounting policies are reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at, and for the year ending 31. December 2018.

Except for the changes outlined above, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31. December 2017.

This condensed consolidated 4Q interim report for 2018 was approved by the Board of Directors on 21. February 2019.

Judgements 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.

The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements for the financial year that ended 31. December 2017 with respect to the key assessments made by management regarding the application of the Group's accounting principles, and the key sources of estimation uncertainty.

IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued business

On 8 February 2018 TTS Group ASA announced that it entered into an asset sale agreement with Cargotec Oyj, and the company therefore decided to present the accounts in accordance with IFRS 5. The criteria for classifying relevant assets and businesses as "held for sale and discontinued business" were met during 4Q 2017. The purpose of IFRS 5 is to specify the accounting for assets held for sale, and the presentation and disclosure of discontinued business.

A discontinued business is a component of the Group's business, operations and cash flows which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which;

• Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations
• Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or
• Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale

The classification of a discontinued business occurs at the time of disposal or when the business meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, if this instance occurs earlier.

Post-closing of the Cargotec transaction, TTS Group ASA will continue in a new strategic direction, focusing the business around BU SYS. Hence all assets and liabilities which are not a part of or related to BU SYS are classified as held for sale. The financial position and results are presented separately. Since the other BUs' were not previously classified as held-for-sale or as a discontinued business, the comparative consolidated statement of profit & loss and "Other Comprehensive Income" (OCI) have been changed in order to show the discontinued business separately from continued business.

When assets meets the criteria for the assets held for sale classification, the asset value shall be measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. In addition ceases depreciation of such assets.

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the assets and transfer the liabilities which would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions

Please see further information in note 7 and 8 for the reclassification of assets and liabilities held for sale, and the presentation of revenue and costs for discontinued business.

New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by TTS:

In addition to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, a number of other new standards and interpretations, are effective from 1. January 2018, but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS39 and is effective from the annual reporting beginning on or after 1. January 2018. The fair value hedge structure applied by TTS Group for 4Q 2018 is set within the framework of IFRS 9.

TTS has implemented IFRS 9, giving basis for minor changes to the internal hedge documentation process. The implementation has not resulted in, or caused any material change to, or impacted the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

Summary of the requirements:

The Group has initially adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1. January 2018.

The effect of applying IFRS 15 is different for continued business vs. discontinued business. For continued business, the implementation of IFRS 15 is not considered to have a material impact compared to the accounting principles applied under IAS 11. For discontinued business, the effect is mainly later recognition of revenue from construction contracts in which TTS has insufficient title to reimbursement if the customer terminates the contract.

The IFRS 15 standard replaces IAS 18 'Revenue' and IAS 11 'Construction contracts' and related interpretations.

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (with practical expedients), with the effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of initial application (1 January 2018). Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 has not been restated- i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 18, IAS 11 and related interpretations.

Additional information available in note 11.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by TTS:

IFRS 16 Leases

Summary of the requirements: IFRS 16 principally requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases and to present the rights and obligations associated with these leases in the statement of financial position. Going forward, lessees will therefore no longer be required to make the distinction between finance and operating leases that was required in the past in accordance with IAS 17. For all leases, the lessee will recognize a lease liability in its statement of financial position for the obligation to make future lease payments. At the same time, the lessee will capitalize a right of use to the underlying asset which is generally equivalent to the present value of the future lease payments plus directly attributable expenditure. Similar to the guidance on finance leases in IAS 17, the lease liability will be adjusted over the lease term for any re-measurement, while the right-of-use asset will be depreciated, which normally leads to higher expenses at the inception date of a lease. For the lessor, on the other hand, the guidance in the new standard are similar to the existing guidance in IAS 17. IFRS 16 also includes updated guidance on the definition of a lease and its presentation, on disclosures in the notes, and on sale and leaseback transactions.

IFRS 16 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted.

TTS Group have assessed the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements of applying IFRS 16. TTS will apply the modified retrospective approach on IFRS 16, calculating right to use, and lease liability as per 01.01.2019. When an implicit interest rate is not available TTS will use an incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate differ from 3.25% to 6.65% depending on asset description and location.

The lease liability in continued business [4] as per 01.01.2019 is calculated to be close to MNOK 1.

The lease liability in discontinued Businesses [6] is estimated at MNOK 75.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES

Note 21 and the accounting principles presented in the 2017 Annual Report, Consolidated Financial Statements Section 2.2, 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 principles. The material part of related party transactions is in the discontinued business.

Please see note 10 for further information on classification, elimination and presentation of continued vs. discontinued business.

NOTE 6. TAX

TTS Group can be liable for tax in more than one jurisdiction due to the global nature of its business. A loss in one jurisdiction may not be offset against taxable income in another jurisdiction. Thus, the Group may pay tax in one or more 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 consist of the following components:

Deferred tax:

(NOK 1000)	31.12.2018	31.12.2017
Gross deferred tax asset	18 939	18 845
Gross deferred tax liability
Net deferred tax asset (+) / liability (-)	18 939	18 845

1) Changes in tax rates in Norway from 24% to 23% have reduced the gross deferred tax assets per 01.01.2018. As deferred tax assets from

Norwegian companies are not recognized, the change has no effect on the 2018 tax cost.

Recognized deferred tax asset relates to tax losses in the Norwegian companies. The criteria applied to estimates for the utilization of tax losses against future taxable profit are unchanged in 4Q 2018.

Tax cost recognized in continued business [4] as per 31.12.2018 relates to withholding taxes paid on sales fees received from a joint venture company in China.

Tax cost recognized in continued business [4] as per 31.12.2017 relates to a re-estimate of tax assets and expected future taxable profits for TTS Group ASA.

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 there is any indication that the assets may be impaired.

TTS shares are freely traded at Oslo Stock Exchange. The closing price of the last trading date in December 2018 was NOK 6.42 per share, indicating a nominal trade value of TTS of MNOK 559.

Book value of equity at 31 December 2018 was MNOK 186 excluding minority interest.

As a result of the process that ended with the signing of the asset sale agreement with Cargotec, TTS Group reclassified the divested activities, assets and liabilities to discontinued operations and assets/liabilities held for sale during 4Q 2017. Immediately before the initial classification of the asset as held for sale, the carrying amount of the asset shall be measured in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The standard states that an asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. The fair value approach is based on the expected transaction price less cost of sale of the disposal group sold to Cargotec. The company has reviewed both assets related to continued business as well as the assets related to discontinued business. Based on the assessment, TTS Group has concluded that the recoverable amount based on a fair value less cost of disposal is higher than the carrying amount, resulting in no impairment on assets prior to reclassification to assets held-for-sale.

Overview of goodwill and other intangible assets (excl. deferred tax asset) are as follows:

NOTE 9. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's objectives and principles of financial risk management are consistent with what is stated in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2017. In accordance with the company's financing agreements, the covenant calculations in 2018 are based on IFRS accounting principles as per 31.12.2017.

On 11 December 2018, the bondholders agreed to an extension of the subordinated debt until 18 July 2019. The TTS General Assembly approved the extension on 14 December 2018. The parties agreed to an extension fee of 0.25%. Other terms and conditions remained unchanged.

NOTE 10 DISCONTINUED BUSINESS [6] - DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE

Reference is made to note 1 and 12 in the 2017 Annual Report with regard to the basis for reclassification of heldfor-sale and discontinued business.

During Q4 2017 TTS Group reclassified major parts of the business, the disposal group, as discontinued business. The basis for this reclassification was the Cargotec agreement announced 8 February 2018. TTS Group will continue under the new name Nekkar ASA in a new strategic direction, initially concentrating the business around BU SYS. The transaction is an asset sale. Accordingly, the majority of the group's assets and liabilities is presented as a disposal group held for sale. The transaction is expected to be completed during 1Q 2019.

The disposal group is classified as held-for-sale or as discontinued business. The comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss and OCI have been amended to show the discontinued business separately from continued business.

Prior to reclassification to assets and liabilities held for sale, an impairment assessment was performed. For further information, see note 7.

The principles for the reclassification to discontinued business has been as follows;

• All revenue and expenses from legal entities included in the Disposal Group have been reclassified.
• Revenue and cost directly attributable to activities in the disposal group but performed within the legal entities that forms the basis for continued business, are allocated to discontinued business.
• Revenue and cost directly attributable to activities in the continued business, but performed within the legal entities that forms the basis for the discontinued business, are allocated to continued business.
• Since transactions between continued business and discontinued business are expected to cease when the transaction with Cargotec is completed, intercompany transactions are eliminated.
• Intercompany interest related to cash pool arrangement is not eliminated based on the accounting of the cash pool arrangement.
• Interest from bank loans and bond loan have been allocated to the disposal group due to the fact that these loans have funded these businesses, and that the loans will be repaid as part of the transaction.
• All assets and liabilities from the legal entities included in the disposal group have been reclassified.
• Since transactions between continued and discontinued businesses are expected to cease when the transaction with Cargotec is completed, all intercompany balances are eliminated.
• Due to the terms in the asset sale agreement, the group's financing through the Cash Pool arrangement, Cash pool balances have not been eliminated between continued and discontinued business because each company will be responsible for settling the cash pool receivables/liabilities post transaction.

NOTE 11 CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group has initially adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018. A number of other new standards are effective from 1 January 2018 but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

The effect of applying IFRS 15 to the continued business is different from the discontinued business. For continued business, the implementation of IFRS 15 is considered not to have a material impact compared to the accounting principles applied under IAS 11. For discontinued business, the effect is mainly deferred recognition of revenue from construction contracts in which TTS has insufficient title to reimbursement if the customer terminates the contract.

The standard replaces IAS 18 'Revenue' and IAS 11 'Construction contracts' and related interpretations. The Group has adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (with practical expedients), with the effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of initial application (1 January 2018). Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 has not been restated- i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 18, IAS 11 and related interpretations.

Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control - at a point in time or over time - requires judgement.

Contracts with customers

TTS Group Total [5] is a complex group with subsidiaries or branch offices in 13 countries with several different revenue streams. For each of the different business units a 5-step analysis of the contract structure has been performed in accordance with IFRS 15, to ensure correct revenue recognition. The 5-step analysis includes the following assessment;

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

All revenue streams within TTS Group Total [5] are based on written and approved agreements between the parties involved in the contract. The contract includes each party's rights relating to the contract, transaction price, payment terms etc.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

A typical TTS Group Total [5] contract consist of one or few performance obligations that is clearly defined in the customer contract. For some contracts in BU CBT there are series production that consist of several performance obligations.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

The written agreement includes the terms of the contract and transaction price. The transaction price is normally a fixed price with few variable consolidations.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Since the contracts specifies the transaction price, and normally has one or few performance obligations, the allocation of price to performance obligations is normally specified in the contracts. For those performance obligations where price is not specified in the contract, an estimate is made based on costs plus a reasonable margin.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied

Revenue recognition varies between the different business units and contracts. In the table below is a summary of the different BU's and method for revenue recognition. This is based on an analysis performed in connection with the implementation of IFRS 15. The analysis shows that implementation of IFRS 15 has different implication on the different revenue streams for TTS Group Total [5]. The business units are divided in continued [4] and discontinued business [6].

TTS GROUP
Business Unit	Type of contract	Revenue recognition	Effect on revenue recognition compared to previous GAAP
Continued Business
BU SYS	Engineer-to-order	"Over time"	Unchanged revenue recognition
	Services	"Point in time"	Unchanged revenue recognition
Discontinued Business
BU CBT	Configure-to-order	"Point in time"	Unchanged revenue recognition
BU RCN	Engineer-to-order	"Point in time"	Changed – delayed revenue recognition

recognition.			In the following there is an overview of the different contract types within TTS Group (Total), including identification of business units and differences between the contract types that leads to different revenue
Construction contracts – over time revenue recognition BU SYS has long term construction contracts with a typical duration of 18-48 months from contracts are signed, to the projects are closed. These projects are engineer-to-order projects, which delivers highly customized turnkey systems for shipyards around the world. The projects are highly specialized systems for each individual project, with no alternative use for the company, where each project is considered to be one performance obligation.
			After a thorough 5-step analysis of all open contracts within BU SYS, the main issue relating to timing of revenue recognition was TTS' enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date in a situation with termination. TTS has assessed the right to payment to date both from an accounting perspective and from a legal point of view, and the conclusion is that the relevant contract either includes a termination by convenience clause that is in favor of TTS Group, or that general legal basis in the relevant jurisdiction is in favor of TTS Group with respect to profit coverage in a situation of a termination. Based on this it is the company's assessment, that

Construction contracts – over time revenue recognition

revenue recognition over time is correct for these contracts. Revenue is recognized based on a percentage of completion method, using cost-over-cost as measure of progress for the various performance obligation. IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on the Group's accounting policies for this category of construction contracts.

Construction contracts – point in time revenue recognition

Other business units defined as discontinued business, and typical holds customer contracts with duration of 6-30 months with customized equipment for different industries. The 5-step analysis of open contracts for the business units under discontinued business is performed. These contracts do not ensure an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date upon termination, hence revenue recognition follows the principle rule for recognition point in time for these revenue streams. For these contracts, the control of the asset is transferred to the customer upon delivery, and revenue is recognized at this point. This resulted in a change in timing of revenue recognition for BU RCN, BU MPG and BU OFF.

Under IAS 11, revenue was recognized over time using the percentage of completion method, provided that the revenue and costs could be measured reliably, and the recovery of the consideration was probable. For these products revenues is recognized significantly later under IFRS 15 than under IAS 11 because it is recognized at delivery.

Contracts for delivery of predesigned products (configure-to-order) – point in time revenue recognition

These contracts are relevant for BU CBT that is a part of discontinued business. The contracts deliver complete cargo handling solutions to container, tanker and bulk vessels. Products delivered from the BU are considered to be on a configure-to-order basis, and consist of production of series of defined products, which satisfies IFRS 15.22 criteria for series of distinct goods that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Lead time from order until completed delivery may wary from 9-18 months, however lead time form production start-up until product available for customer delivery is normally less than 6 months. Products delivered from BU CBT are typically standard products with an alternative use for the company. Revenue from the BU is recognized at point-in-time basis according to IFRS 15.

IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on the Group's accounting policies for contracts for delivery of predesigned products (configure-to-order)

Service contracts and after-sales – point in time revenue recognition

TTS has defined service as a separate business unit, BU SER, which includes service and after sales for all discontinued segments and business units within TTS. BU SER is a part of discontinued business. Deliveries from the service-based business are configure-to-order projects, where work is done on the customers equipment, and are considered over time deliveries. Lead time from order to completed customer delivery is normally less than three months. For after sales (sale of spare parts), revenue is recognized upon delivery.

IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on the Group's accounting policies service contracts and after-sales.
