Re-assessment of outlook and financial implications

Market outlook

  • A prolonged downturn and weaker outlook in the North Sea in particular
  • No tenders in the North Sea and few contract opportunities anticipated in the next years in Norway in particular
  • Brazil offering opportunities, although at lower rates. Two tenders currently outstanding
  • Increasing focus on other markets including Mexico

Financial implications

  • Re-assessment of market outlook impacts cash-flow projections in the years ahead - in particular for less versatile rigs
  • As a consequence, the company incurs impairments totalling USD 341 million on the book value of vessels in the quarter
  • Resulting in a book equity of USD 14 million per Q3 2019

Re-assessment of outlook and financial implications

However,

  • Prosafe has adequate liquidity of USD 216 million at the end of Q319
  • The company will commence dialogue with its lenders with a view to ensure sufficient flexibility for the longer term

  • On 28th October 2019 the Norwegian Competition Authorities announced that it prohibits the merger. Prosafe intends to appeal with expected decision February/March 2020
  • In the UK, the process is in phase 2 and more specific information is anticipated into Q1 2020
  • Prosafe will continue to vigorously pursue merger clearance with an aim of developing a more robust company with improved services, able to sustain a prolonged downturn and challenging markets for offshore accommodation in particular in the North Sea
