INTERIM REPORT 1ST QUARTER 2015
Oceanteam Shipping ASA – Q1 2015 interim report
Issue date 27th May 2015
A strategy that works – growth & capital discipline
The company is reaping the benefits of its diversification strategy, a strategy that has allowed the Company to sustain and improve its performance, even during challenging market conditions.
Since 2012 Oceanteam has developed several new business areas, as part of Oceanteam Solution, in addition to its shipping activities. Presently about 50 percent of Oceanteam's revenues come from solution driven services. Our strategy is to sustain this revenue split.
The recent volatility in key markets has demonstrated that Oceanteam has in place a scalable and flexible business model, which can build up fast, and has a strong management team which delivers and is able to handle different types of weather. This is also the first quarter we report without the earnings from our recently sold 50 percent stake in CSV North Ocean 102 to J. Ray McDermott. The sale of the 102 deleverages the Company significantly and underpins the other central pillar of our strategy, strict capital discipline.
In April an USD 35 million installment was paid on the Company's bond loan. The transaction is part of the Company's long-term strategy to optimize and to strengthen its balance sheet. Strict capital and cost discipline combined with reduced leverage will allow the company to replace high cost capital with more flexible capital structures on call that will facilitate the company to grow its earnings going forward with a significantly reduced cost of capital.
At the beginning of this year Oceanteam Solutions closed a EUR 15 million revolving term loan provided by NIBC Bank N.V. Proceeds under the facility will be used for investments in the Company's equipment pool and services and can be drawn against new back log. Improved funding conditions, as demonstrated by the two new loan facilities entered into 2015, reconfirms our focus on integrated services, growing markets beyond the volatile oil & gas, such as offshore renewables, plus certain carefully selected high potential regions like Mexico. We believe this will accelerate growth and value creation in the coming years.
Oceanteam will retain its capital and cost discipline through a strong commitment to paying dividends, latest payable in 2018.

Business areas
Operations North Ocean fleet
CSV Bourbon Oceanteam 101 has been on a time charter with Oceaneering / BP Angola, which started on 1 February 2012 for three years firm with two one year options for extension. Oceaneering exercised both one year options in the third quarter of 2014, extending the charter to February 2017. In first quarter 2015 the ship has been fully utilized.
CSV Southern Ocean has been on a contract with Fugro-TS Marine Australia since October 2010, operating in Australia and the Far East. The vessel is on a bareboat charter until the end of 2018 with additional two, one year options for the extension. At the end of December 2014, the Southern Ocean began its five year maintenance period, dry docking and received a lifeboat upgrades so during the quarter the cash flow has been reduced by stand by rates.
Lay Vessel North Ocean 105 was delivered in 2012 and since then has been on a 5 year charter with McDermott International and operates on a worldwide basis as a pipe layer. In first quarter 2015 the ship has been fully
utilized, mainly operating in the Far East. From March 2015 its time charter was converted into a bareboat with J. Ray McDermott.
Oceanteam operates two fast support vessels (FSVs), Tiburon and Mantaraya, which have been fully utilized in 2015 working in Venezuela on bare boat contracts with Inversiones Setin 2010 CA. The charters were extended from mid 2014 to 31 December 2015.
DOT Shipping
In March 2014 Oceanteam took a 40 percent stake in the newly founded joint venture DOT Shipping together with Grupo Diavaz. DOT Shipping successfully delivered two FSV new builds in Q4 2014 that were immediately sent to Mexico to start operations. Both vessels are fully financed and have been fully operational in the fast developing Mexican market since 4 March 2015, where they both have begun a seven year firm time charter contract with three, one year options.
DOT Shipping has a 50 percent interest in a new large build construction support vessel for Mexico which is currently under construction and is expected to be delivered in the second half of 2016. This vessel is built through a joint venture between DOT Shipping and Pacific Radiance. The vessel has secured a long-term charter and a commitment by our joint venture partner Pacific Radiance for post completion financing at delivery. The building process is going as planned.
KCI The Engineers
In February 2014, Oceanteam became a 100 percent strategic owner in the design engineering firm KCI The Engineers. In line with Oceanteam's revised strategy and strong focus on growth going forward, Oceanteam initiated a company wide programme named "The Next Step" in October 2014. KCI was the first company in the group to undergo the changes set out in "The Next Step" programme. The programme is designed to enhance KCI's project management capabilities and to accommodate future growth and profitability. The programme is to be rolled out into the whole group with the same high standards of project management and cost control to improve the level of service and quality delivered to our clients. KCI's management team and structure has significantly strengthened during 2014.
KCI had an average of 130 engineers who have worked on multi discipline service contracts such as the following during first quarter:
New awarded projects:
- Pipeline design in the Dutch sector of the Southern North Sea
- Drive and constraint system for giant observation wheel in USA
- Design and engineering of a Wind Sword which will be installed as an art object in the Netherlands
Operational projects during the quarter:
- Concept development and basic design of a deck-layout for a cable laying vessel
- Basic design of foundation jackets for a substation on the English sector of the North Sea
- Process upgrade of offshore topside production platform
- Eductor skid design, engineering, procurement and manufacturing support
- Riser and J-tube detailed design of a platform in North Sea
- Several brown field maintenance studies
- Basic and detail design of foundation jackets for substation
- Detail design of topside for substation
- Concept, basic and detail design of a major innovative landmark project in Middle East
-
Feasibility and appraisal studies
-
Redesign of two walk to work systems for monohulls
- Foundation design of foundation of 4000T modular turntable
- Onshore gas field development for three well sites in the Netherlands (From concept study to detailed design and procurement services)
- Development of a quadrant handling system (patent pending)
Double slip joint design ready
During the quarter KCI also introduced its new devolved intelligent property, KCI's double slip joint (DSJ). The research & development is a result of efforts from an international research team and in cooperation with Delft University of Technology. The DSJ is an evolution of monopile – transition piece connections which can be very appealing to the offshore wind industry. The technology will reduce installation time with 30 percent, resulting in a sharp decrease of installation costs for our clients. Also safety is enhanced by using this concept as there are less manual handling activities offshore during installation and no maintenance is required in the monopile connection. KCI will increase marketing on its research & development products to strengthen its position in the offshore wind market.
RentOcean
Oceanteam's marine asset division RentOcean increased its level of activity with several new contracts in a historically strong offshore renewable market, leading to a backlog of approximately USD 14 million and with an increased tendering activity, securing EUR 15 million in a revolver loan facility, the division is ready to take the next step. To handle the growth within the business area "The Next Step" programme will be fully implemented during third quarter 2015.
New awarded projects:
- Awarded contract to supply cable laying equipment, crew and cable transpooling job in The Netherlands
- Successfully completed LS Cable power cable projects and started demobilization of 2x 4000T demountable turntables
- Opened support base in Dubai and Eemshaven to support its key projects
Operational projects during the quarter:
- Execution of a long-term contract for supply of a 3000T onshore turntable in the Netherlands
- Operating a long-term contract consisting of a modular 2000T turntable, loading tower with a built in 15T tensioner for a project in Brazil
- Execution of a contract for supply of a portal with a built in powered quadrant in the Netherlands
- Operating a contract consisting of cable laying deck spread for a project in Mexico
- Execution of a long-term cable storage and cable handling contract with Eneco and E.ON
Market outlook
The main change in the market outlook ending 2014 is the shock in the oil prices. Early 2015 the oil price increased with almost 50 percent. The more volatile environment for oil prices and activity, has created significant market challenges for our industry. To mitigate the market risk, the Company has secured superior backlog for both 2015, 2016 and partly into 2017. There is considerable uncertainty as to how long it will take before demands picks up. The Company is still positive and believes in the long-term fundamentals of the relevant markets and regions it operates in to remain strong and that its diversification strategy supports this. To meet the macro challenges the company emphasises its strong capital and cost discipline, the strength of its balance sheet, reduction of capital costs and the recent ''capital on call'' revolver loan to grow its business against backlog.
The Company's view is that in the long-term, exploration and production activities are likely to increase and consequently the demand for large construction support vessels and services is likely to grow. The Company has a strong and lean organisation and a proven scalable business model with a seasoned management team and board to achieve the Company's target.
The Company has always focused on strong long-term backlog seeking full utilization of its high-end deepwater assets, a proven strategy that gives long-term stable cash flow. The diversification of the Company's global business units and working segments makes us robust against decreasing oil prices. Geopolitical tension will make certain regions develop faster or slower and therefore the Company has chosen to focus on stable regions and to team up with strong local partners with proven track records in their respective markets. Diversification of clients also helps the Company to increase its knowledge and to develop in different markets.
In Western Europe many offshore wind parks have been delayed due to lack of funding, supply chain problems, cost overruns and changes in countries' policies. The Company's continued belief is that demand for services related to the offshore renewable industry will increase in 2016 and beyond. The company remains in a strong position to meet the future demands and requirements in this market. Limited space and environmental laws are causing large wind farms to be constructed further from shore. The projects are in deeper waters, more complex and on a larger scale. With over 28 years of experience, KCI have the competence to meet demands of the industry. Rentocean also has its deep water base in Velsen, The Netherlands and supplies and rents to a broad client base around the world to support their offshore cable, pipeline and umbilical installations, transport and storage projects.
Larger wind farms allow improved fixed cost allocation but also require more complex engineering services to make sure the full capex project is executed to plan and is sustainable. This development also leads to larger more complex assets. The average size of wind farm project is 340 Mega Watts.
The exact timing of existing projects currently in the development stage remains uncertain but overall the market is expected to grow, resulting in an increased demand for support vessels and associated services like engineering and marine assets. The focus of the industry is on reducing installation and maintenance costs and using flexible solutions, which Oceanteam can provide with its solution driven services.
Larger wind farms allow improved fixed cost allocation but also increase project complexity and demand for engineering services. Oceanteam Solutions uses the current platform to focus on combining the different disciplines and resources into cost effective solutions which creates new opportunities. All with the aim to reduce risks and improve the economics, both running costs and installation costs, for our clients.
Oceanteam spends significant resources on market research and intelligence. It adapts its strategy and risk profiles when the analysis deems this to be prudent.
The oil and gas prices influence oil companies' priorities and choices between new developments, upgrades of existing facilities and commitments to recovery from producing fields. Fluctuations in oil and gas prices also affect the offshore renewable market and available resources. Hence oil and gas prices affect activity in both of Oceanteam's main markets.
Oceanteam Shipping is confident and has to date secured sufficient projects in both the oil and gas market and the offshore renewable market to maintain a high to good level of utilization of its assets and engineers.
An important milestone in 2014 has been the establishment of DOT Shipping, a joint venture with Grupo Diavaz in Mexico. In this captive market the Company's goal is to provide the complete vertical supply chain through cutting edge engineering solutions and high end quality vessels. Through this joint venture Oceanteam's operations are expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
KCI The Engineers is built on a 28 year track record of multiple short term contracts of different sizes and durations.
RentOcean maintains a steady level of success in a strong offshore renewable market. In 2015 RentOcean succeeded finalization its first two oil and gas contracts supplying services for South Korea, Qatar and Brazil. The Company continues to experience strong interest for its vessels and services from globally leading companies. The company has the knowledge, skills and financial platform to growth.

Financing and company capital structure
The Company is exposed to financial risk in different areas. Financial risks include interest rate and currency fluctuations, investment and trading risks in general, borrowing and leverage risk. The Lay Vessel North Ocean 105 was under the Spanish tax lease structure until 28 February 2015, after which no vessels remain under this structure.
The Company has sales revenues and liabilities in foreign currencies and is exposed to currency risks. 50 percent of the revenue is in USD while the remaining 50 percent is in EURO. Since the reporting currency is in USD the foreign exposure is for liabilities in the EURO and its fluctuations with USD. On the other hand, the company has some costs also in NOK, MXN and EUR which has been depreciating compared to the USD.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as the bulk of its debt has floating rates. Lay Vessel North Ocean 105 was financed in USD for the construction costs hedged in EURO. Long-term post construction finance has been secured in USD where the interest rate is fixed. In the loan agreement for the CSV Bourbon Oceanteam 101 and CSV Southern Ocean 50 percent of the Libor interest rate is fixed. This protects the Company from volatile interest rate fluctuations. The USD bond loan has a floating quarterly LIBOR. With the current maturity schedule and the forward interest curves, the Company sees a satisfactory risk level. The objective of the Company is to reduce financial risk as much as possible.
Current strategy includes the use of interest swap agreements for the loans in Oceanteam Bourbon 101 AS and Oceanteam Bourbon 4 AS as financial instruments. Otherwise the strategy is largely based on natural hedging. Natural hedging means to have revenue and cost in the same currency for each project. This is, however, continuously being assessed by the Board of Directors.
Post balance sheet first quarter 2015, the Company has repaid USD 35 million in expensive bond loan financing and replaces part of its capital structure with a EUR 15 million revolver growth facility. This capital platform will be utilized for growth of the activities and securing increased backlog for new equipment. All with the aim to replace the existing bond loan within the due date October 2017.
Liquidity risk
At quarter end the working capital and liquidity position of the company is satisfactory. The parent company depends on liquidity flows from subsidiaries and the joint venture companies that are owned with its joint venture partners. In Q1 2015 an amount of USD 3.2 million was paid up to ASA where the company aims to increase this going forward.
As of 31 March 2015 the Company still had some legal cases pending but post balance sheet of Q1 the company has limited the number of previous claims to one outstanding from the past.
The company sued Sawicon AS for the infringement of the company's rights for the development of the North Ocean 100 series. The court case against Sawicon and North Sea Shipping will continue in 2015 and all costs are recorded as they occur.
All outstanding trade receivables for the shipping segment per Q1 2015 were received per reporting date. For the solutions segment, there is an USD 5.4 million of outstanding receivables per quarter end of which USD 3.2 million has been received in 2015.
Investments
DOT Shipping has one large Construction Support Vessel under construction which is due for delivery end 2016. The second installment for this build has been completed during the first quarter 2015.
RentOcean is in the process of expanding its equipment pool with new turntables, loading towers, reels and associated services and the business has secured financing for its planned growth.
Tax losses
The Company has a booked deferred tax asset on the balance sheet of USD 6.0 million which the company is utilizing. In addition there is more from abroad activities to be utilized up to the amount of total USD 17 million.
In addition to the abroad tax losses the Company has received confirmation from the Norwegian tax authorities of a deferred tax loss of NOK 1.2 billion. This deferred tax asset is from the Norwegian entities which are not yet on the balance sheet. The tax losses arise from losses in 2008 and 2009, since then the company has continued to be profitable.
Events after the balance sheet date
- RentOcean was awarded a contract to supply cable laying equipment and to execute a cable transpooling job in The Netherlands.
- Oceanteam Shipping has executed an USD 35 million part payment of Oceanteam's bond loan in the total amount of USD 92.5 million. The remaining balance is in the total amount of USD 57.5 million.
- The Company secured a EUR 15 million growth loan facility and an overdraft facility of USD 3 million to handle the planned growth and improve the liquidity situation.

Operating lease
In February 2014, the first 4000T turntable was delivered to the lessee in accordance with the agreement to lease out the equipment. Among other factors, the lease period is for 2 years and the lessee has the option to purchase the equipment at an agreed price. In July 2014, a second 4000T turntable was delivered to the same lessee, but with no purchase option connected to this lease agreement. The Company considers these two turntables as one large project and has made an assessment of the different elements of the contracts, including the commercial aspects of the contracts, and as to whether or not there are a substantial risks or rewards when ownership is transferred to the lessee. Since the lease period is for a limited period of time compared to the economic life of the assets and the Company retains the majority of the risk related to the asset, therefore it has been classified as an operating lease.
The company has taken ownership of the equipment in Q2 2015.
Fair value measurements
Fair value measurement of vessels
A valuation of the group's vessels and the participation in LV 105 was performed by the company to determine the fair value of the vessels and the interest in LV 105 as at 31 March 2015. All vessels are equity accounted except the Oceanteam Bourbon 4 AS which is 100 percent consolidated. The revaluation surplus net of applicable deferred income taxes were credited to other comprehensive income and is shown in 'Revaluation reserves' in shareholders equity. The following table analyses the non-financial assets carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2)
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Valuation processes of the Group
The group's finance department includes a team that performs the valuations of the vessels and the interest in LV 105, measured at fair value required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the CFO. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, and the valuation team at least once every quarter, in line with the group's quarterly reporting dates.
On an annual basis, the group engages external, independent and qualified valuers to review the group's fair value measurements models.
The assumptions in the revaluation model are the following:
The valuations of the level 3 vessels and interest in LV 105 have been performed using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The model for the calculation of the revaluation has the following features:
- Oceanteam Shipping ASA updates the model quarterly
- Two external valuations from independent brokers where the Construction Support Vessel (CSV) and Lay Vessel (LV) is traded between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an active market
- the Brokers' opinions of recent newbuilding quotes of similar tonnage
- the Brokers are evaluating the replacement costs of comparable vessels
- the Brokers are evaluating if any recent sales of comparable vessels in the market
The three assumptions stated above form the Brokers' joint opinion of the fair market value of any asset in the prevailing market as between a willing seller and a willing buyer, charter free. The Brokers' valuations are done quarterly at the end of the quarter.
- The average of two brokers' valuations on a charter free CSV and LV vessels with prompt delivery
- The estimated economical lifetime is 25 years from delivery of the vessel.
-
The calculated cash flow from the time charter on the revaluated CSV / Lay Vessel is being compared with the estimated brokers' charter
-
The premium values of the vessels are depreciated linearly over the useful life of the assets
- The cash flow from the charter is discounted with a WACC of 7.56 percent. The calculation of the WACC has the following assumptions:
- 10 year state USD
- a 40/60 ratio of equity / debt
- When Oceanteam Shipping has signed a building contract, financing is secured, construction costs and fair value can be measured reliably. Oceanteam Shipping is applying the revaluation model for the CSV / Lay Vessels. The accounting impact when applying the revaluation model is that the CSV / Lay Vessel are measured at fair value in the balance sheet. The lines on the balance sheet "Vessels and equipment" on the asset side under tangible assets and the line "Revaluation reserve" are affected by the revaluation method. The historical costs for the CSV / Lay Vessels are shown in the table above for tangible assets under the column "Construction and Support Vessels" and also the revaluation surplus under the line revaluation reserve in the table.
- Per balance sheet date the CSV 101, CSV 104 and LV 105 were revaluated.
- The option price for the LV North Ocean 105 is included in the cash flow connected to the vessel and the option can be called in Q2 2017. When the relevant option period commences, McDermott will have 60 days to call the option. If the option is not exercised within the option period, the call option will go to Oceanteam Shipping. The call option price for vessel LV 105 is USD 95.9 million at the initial transaction date 20 April 2012 depreciated over 20 years with adjustments for the working capital (excluding inventories and spares). The initial value of the JRM Equipment is USD 22.1 million.
According to IAS 39 this is a financial liability for Oceanteam Shipping to be recognized in the financial statements. When there is uncertainty related to such liabilities, the liability must be estimated. The option value for the LV North Ocean 105 is included in the cash flow connected to the vessel, is based on the management's best estimate.

The company sued Sawicon AS for the infringement of the company's rights for the development of the North Ocean 100 series. Gulating Court of Appeal has invalidated Bergen City Court's previous verdict in favour of Sawicon AS. Gulating Court of Appeal released Oceanteam from the obligation to pay the legal costs incurred by Sawicon AS and North Sea Shipping AS in connection with the Bergen City Court case. As a consequence of the ruling there no longer exists an applicable court decision regarding the rights to the North Ocean 100-series design and the case will have to be restarted in Bergen District Court. Oceanteam Shipping ASA is pleased that Gulating Court of Appeal has recognized Oceanteam's objections to the application of the procedural rules by Bergen City Court.

Long term post construction finance has been secured in USD where the interest rate is fixed. In the loan agreement for the CSV Bourbon Oceanteam 101 and CSV Southern Ocean 50 per cent of the Libor interest rate is fixed. This protects the company from volatile interest rate fluctuations. The USD bond loan has a floating quarterly LIBOR. With the current maturity schedule and the forward interest curves, the Company sees a satisfactory risk level. The objective of the Company is to reduce financial risk as much as possible.
Current strategy includes the use of interest swap agreement for the loans in Oceanteam Bourbon 101 AS and Oceanteam Bourbon 4 AS as financial instruments. Otherwise the strategy is largely based on natural hedging. Natural hedging means to have revenue and cost in the same currency project. This is, however, continuosly being assessed by the Board of Directors.
Oceanteam Shipping's balance sheet is leveraged with USD 152 million in non-current liabilities including its first year's installments.
Interest risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to fluctuation in interests, Oceanteam Shipping has quarterly fixed interests. The company also has the opportunity to use longer periods as for instance 6 or 9 months etc. Due to the previous uncertainties in the liquidity situation of the company, Oceanteam Shipping has used quarterly roll over.
Market risk
Market risk includes risk of fluctuation in oil prices, political, economic risk and other uncertainties, increased competition and risk of war, other armed conflicts and terrorist attacks. The deteriorated financial climate has led to delays in projects in both the oil and gas and renewable energy industries which might make it more difficult to obtain attractive contracts for the construction support vessels and fast support vessels. Also the demand for cable installation equipment and engineering services may be affected by the economic circumstances.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers. The free liquidity is placed in bank acounts with banks of acceptable credit quality. Oceanteam Shipping's clients are primarily large companies with high credit rating. The need for bank guarantee and pre-invoicing are considered on individual basis.
Operational risk
Operational risks include time charter and bare boat contracts, service life and technical risk of vessels, the Company's operating history, risk for substantial responsibilities, the Company's ability to retain senior management and key personnel, risk for legal proceedings and contractual disputes, construction risk and employment risk for the vessels and equipment.

Note 6 – Tax in Q1 2015
Taxes in the income statement are estimated on the basis of the average tax rates for each of the companies that constitute the Group. In companies that apply for the Norwegian Tonnage Tax system the tax rate is set at zero.
Oceanteam Shipping has one Construction Support Vessel which is under the normal tax regime in Norway where the nominal tax percentage is 27%. However, the Group has major tax losses to be carried forward due to losses on contracting business. Confirmation from the tax authorities of a deferred tax loss of NOK 1.2 billion has been received in October 2014. The Group is analyzing how to utilize the nominal deferred losses of NOK 1.2 billion or USD 169 million for the Norwegian entities and EUR 55 million for abroad operations.
Booked deferred tax balance USD 6.0 million in the balance sheet includes tax losses on operations in the Netherlands.
Note 7 – Contingent liabilities
In Oceanteam Shipping ASA's legal dispute with Sawicon AS and North Sea Shipping AS concerning rights and use of the North Ocean 100-series design under the Norwegian Marketing Act, Gulating Court of Appeal, by verdict of 7 March 2014, has upheld Oceanteam's appeal. Gulating Court of Appeal has invalidated Bergen City Court's previous verdict in favor of Sawicon AS and North Sea Shipping AS. With this ruling Gulating Court of Appeal
releases Oceanteam from the obligation to pay the legal costs incurred by Sawicon AS and North Sea Shipping AS in conjunction with the Bergen City Court case. As a consequence of the ruling there no longer exists an applicable court decision regarding the rights to the North Ocean 100-series design and the case will have to be restarted in Bergen District Court.
Sawicon has brought an appeal against this decision in High Court which will be handled in August 2015. The outcome is expected to be positive. Oceanteam Shipping ASA has invited Sawicon to settle on amicable terms.
Legal costs are booked as they occur and periodized to relevant period.
