Prosafe SE: Board approves IFRS financial statements for 2017

Change compared to the Q4 result published 6 February 2018

The Board of Directors of Prosafe SE has approved the financial statements for

2017 showing a net loss USD 647.1 million, resulting in diluted earnings per

share of USD - 7.35.

Awaiting the final outcome of the Westcon dispute, Prosafe considers the amount

payable by Westcon to be a contingent asset under IAS 37, and has therefore not

recognised the amount as at 31 December 2017. Provisions totalling USD 35.1

million related to the dispute has been released. As the provisions were charged

against the cost of the vessel, impairment charges equalling the provisions have

been reduced in the accounts. This represents a change compared to the Q4 2017

report which was published on 6 February 2018.

Adjusted opening balance

The estimated impact of the adoption of IFRS 15, a joint revenue recognition

standard effective from 1 January 2018, is an adjustment of USD - 31.8 million

of Other Equity, which was reported as USD 464.7 million as of 31 December

2017. The adjusted opening balance as of 1 January 2018 is USD 432.9 million.

The adjustment of USD 31.8 million relates to the

mobilisation/demobilisation/re-phasing fees under the current contracts for Safe

Scandinavia, Safe Notos and Safe Boreas. The effect of this adjustment on the

income statement for 2018 is an increase of operating revenues (and operating

profit) of USD 24.6 million. The remaining USD 7.2 million will be recognised

from 2019 and onwards.

An electronic version of the Annual Report for 2017 will be published on the

company's website and will be sent as a notice to the Oslo Stock Exchange no

later than 10 April 2018.

The Annual General Meeting will be held on 3 May 2018.
