Prosafe SE: Fourth quarter 2020 results

Prosafe SE: Fourth quarter 2020 results

(Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period of 2019)

Reported EBITDA for the fourth quarter was USD 0.7 million (USD 6.4 million

negative), reflecting cost efficiency partly offset by lower average day rates.

Underlying EBITDA adjusted for one-offs was USD 2.8 million. Liquidity reserve

at year-end was USD 160.3 million. The Company aims to conclude a sustainable

financial solution with lenders as soon as possible.

Recent highlights

* Successfully maintained its order backlog through Covid-19, although

utilization in 2020  was significantly impacted

* Operating status and financial results

* Utilisation of 25% in Q4 (23%)

* Despite lower average day rates, reported EBITDA of USD 0.7 million (USD

6.4 million negative) due to good cost performance; while the underlying

EBITDA adjusted for one-offs was USD 2.8 million (USD 0.4 million

negative)

* Cash flow from operations was USD 2.3 million negative (USD 9.5 million

positive)

* Commercial status

* Secured a 90-day contract with an option of up to 60 days for

ConocoPhillips commencing Q2 2022

* Secured an extension for the Safe Notos with Petrobras in Brazil through

to mid-November 2021, with a 30-day SPS time-out in Q1 2021

* Awarded a 117-day contract in Trinidad commencing June/July 2021 for the

Safe Concordia

* Ongoing tenders for 2021 and 2022

* Total liquidity reserve of USD 160.3 million at year-end 2020 (USD 198.1

million)

* Remains in constructive dialogue with lenders regarding a sustainable

financial solution and aims to conclude as soon as possible. Although it is

too early to say what a final solution may look like, it is anticipated that

there will be a significant equalization of debt which is likely to result

in minimal or no recovery for current shareholders.

Jesper K. Andresen, Prosafe's CEO says, "The financial results for the fourth

quarter of 2020 and for the full year 2020 reflect lower utilization and average

day rates as a result of the downcycle and Covid-19. Still we managed to protect

our order book, secure new contracts and extensions, and generate a positive

EBITDA. I am pleased about the organisation's ability to adapt and manoeuvre

under challenging circumstances."
