Press Release

SBM OFFSHORE HALF-YEAR RESULTS 2014

Revenue up 6%; Outlook confirmed August 6, 2014

SBM Offshore's execution of projects on hand in the first six months of the year led to better than expected revenue growth. The Company is making progress towards resolving its compliance issue, as evidenced by the US\$240 million provision, secured US\$1.45 billion of financing for Cidade de Maricá and signed the Operations & Maintenance contract for FPSO Turritella. Directional1 Backlog stands at US\$21.5 billion. SBM Offshore continued to achieve over 99% uptime across the fleet. The Company delivered the Kikeh brownfield extension project on time and on budget while also reaching a settlement of claims arising from the Deep Panuke project.

Bruno Chabas, CEO of SBM Offshore commented:

"In financial and operational terms, the first half of 2014 has been a period of solid performance. We have also made progress towards the closure of our final legacy issue with a provision against a potential settlement.

The period also presented a significant challenge: our withdrawal from two current tenders in Brazil pending the outcome of the compliance investigation. Nevertheless, the Company has built a decades-long track record of close cooperation with Petrobras. We believe this will provide a basis to resume a successful working relationship, once the investigation is properly completed.

Tendering activity remains high, and there is industry consensus on a substantial number of new FPSOs and turrets due for award in the coming years. Thus, while we remain cautious on the timing of individual awards in the short term, we have a sound basis for confidence in our medium and long term prospects."

First Half 2014 Results

Project Review

FPSO N'Goma (Angola)

The construction, refurbishment, and module work at Keppel Singapore was completed in early May 2014. A successful lifting campaign at the Paenal yard in Port Amboim, Angola, was completed in July and the vessel set sail to the offshore site where mooring has been completed and hook-up operations and acceptance testing is to follow. The scheduled start of production is in 3Q14 at a design capacity of 100,000 bpd.

FPSO Cidade de Ilhabela (Brazil)

Following completion of refurbishment and conversion at the Chinese yard at the end of 2013, construction continued for the finance leased vessel during the first half of 2014 in Brazil where the process modules were successfully installed at the Brasa yard. The FPSO includes topside facilities able to process 150,000 bpd of production fluids for export, including the substantial volumes of associated gas from the pre-salt field. Start-up of the facility is expected in the second half of 2014.

FPSO Cidade de Maricá and Cidade de Saquarema (Brazil)

Construction is ongoing for the two finance leased vessels. Refurbishment and conversion work progressed during the first half of 2014 at a Chinese yard. The charter contract for both vessels includes an initial period of 20 years with extension options. The two double-hull sister vessels will be moored in approximately 2,300 meters of water depth and possess a storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels each. The topside facilities of each FPSO weigh approximately 22,000 tons, will be able to produce 150,000 bpd of well fluids and have associated gas treatment capacity of 6,000,000 Sm3/d. The water injection capacity of the FPSOs will be 200,000 bpd each.

FPSO Turritella (US Gulf of Mexico)

Construction on the FPSO previously known as Stones continued for the finance leased vessel in the first half of the year, with refurbishment and conversion work continuing at Keppel Singapore. The charter contract includes an initial period of 10 years with extension options up to a total of 20 additional years. In May 2014, the Operations & Maintenance contract was signed with Shell Offshore Inc. When installed at almost 3 kilometers of water depth, the FPSO Turritella will be the deepest offshore production facility of any type in the world. The vessel is a typical Generation 2 design, with a disconnectable internal turret and processing facility capacity of 60,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and 15 mmscfd of gas treatment and export.

FPSO Marlim Sul (Brazil)

An extension of six months through the end of 2014 has been agreed to with Petrobras. Negotiations for further extension opportunities beyond 2014 continue.

FPSO Kikeh (Malaysia)

SBM Offshore and its joint venture partner MISC Bhd achieved a key milestone with the start-up of the Siakap North-Petai (SNP) field through a tie-back to the Kikeh FPSO.

The SNP field, a unitized development operated by Murphy Sabah Oil Co.,Ltd (Murphy), is located offshore Malaysia in water depth of approximately 1,300 metres. Murphy announced first oil production from the SNP field on February 27, 2014.

The event is an important milestone for a project that commenced in January 2012 at SBM Offshore's Kuala Lumpur office and involved the fabrication and offshore lifting of four new modules and approximately 340,000 man-hours of offshore construction and commissioning work done on a live FPSO.

Turret Mooring Systems

The three large, complex turrets for Prelude FLNG, Quad 204 and Ichthys are progressing, in close consultation with the respective clients, on schedule according to their respective stages of project completion. Fabrication work on Prelude FLNG is underway in Dubai, while the integration of the Quad 204 Turret with the vessel continues in South Korea, with expected delivery in the second half of 2014. Engineering and procurement for the Ichthys turret has been completed while construction continues to progress at the yard in Singapore, with expected delivery in the first half of 2015.

HSSE

During the period, SBM Offshore deeply regrets to have to report two fatalities of contractor staff at the relevant yard on construction projects in Singapore. Root cause analysis has been carried out and appropriate measures have been put into effect at contractor facilities.

These fatalities are all the more regrettable, since over the course of the first six months of 2014 the Company achieved an improved safety performance in a range of its business activities, with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of 0.26 for the first half of 2014 compared to 0.40 at the end of 2013. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) also improved to 0.06 in the first half of 2014 from 0.15 at the end of 2013.

Compliance

As previously disclosed in various press releases, SBM Offshore voluntarily reported in April 2012 an internal investigation into potentially improper sales practices involving third parties to the relevant authorities, and has since been in dialogue with these authorities.

SBM Offshore is discussing a potential settlement of the issues arising from the investigation. While these discussions are ongoing, it is sufficiently clear that a resolution of the issues will have a financial component, and consequently SBM Offshore has recorded a non-recurring charge of US\$240 million in the first half of 2014, reflecting the information currently available to the Company.

Until the matter is concluded, SBM Offshore cannot provide further details regarding a possible resolution of the issues arising from the investigation, and no assurance can be given that a settlement will actually be reached. As always, the Company will inform the market as soon as further information can be provided.

Overheads & Operating Costs

As announced with the Full Year 2013 results on February 6, 2014, SBM Offshore has embarked on a two year programme focused on business improvements, increased fleet maintenance and Research and Development.

The business improvement project Odyssey 24 is aiming to achieve several objectives. It will optimize and consolidate the ways of working of a Company that has quickly grown from a mid-sized centrally managed business to a multinational, organized in accountable business units. It will improve project management and controls of projects that have grown in size from around US\$500 million a few years ago, to close to US\$2 billion today. It aims to reduce project costs by at least 5% for each project through improved project, supply chain and materials management, improving both profitability and competitive edge. These financial benefits will accrue to the bottom line increasingly over the next few years. Increased investments in R&D will ensure SBM Offshore stays at the forefront of floating solutions technology, such as complex large turret and swivel systems, thereby opening up new deepwater frontiers for the industry. Finally, a focused increased in offshore maintenance will ensure that the Company is better prepared for long duration lease contracts and contract extensions.

The Company expects incremental annual costs equivalent to 2.5%-3% of Directional1 revenue in 2014 and 2015. These incremental costs have an impact on the 1H'14 Gross Margin and Overheads, as the investments precede the expected benefits.

Orders

Directional1 order intake during the first half of 2014 totalled US\$1,034 million, driven primarily by the finalization of the FPSO Turritella Operations & Maintenance contract with Shell and the payment of agreed upon variation orders by clients.

Post-Period Events

The Company secured project financing for FPSO Cidade de Maricá totalling US\$1.45 billion from a consortium of international banks at a weighted average cost of debt of 5.3%. The financing consists of two tranches, \$1.0 billion with a 12 year post-completion maturity and \$450 million with 14 year maturity.

Divestment Update

Marketing of the newbuild DSCV SBM Installer continues. The FPSO Falcon and VLCC Alba remain held for sale and the disposal of the last of three Monaco office buildings is nearing completion.

Outlook and Guidance 2014

Management is confidently reiterating 2014 Directional1 revenue guidance of US\$3.3 billion, of which US\$2.3 billion is expected in the Turnkey segment and US\$1.0 billion in the Lease & Operate segment.

In terms of new FPSOs, SBM Offshore anticipates total industry-wide awards in double digits over the next few years, and the Company is well-positioned to take an appropriate share of the projects which it is targeting. On the timing of individual awards, SBM Offshore is cautious, noting the trend in recent years for tendering processes to lengthen. Nevertheless, it is clear that a substantial body of FPSOs must be commissioned over the next two years for oil & gas companies to maintain production levels.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

IFRS 10, 11 & 12

New consolidation standards for joint ventures (JVs) have been introduced as of January 1, 2014 ending proportional consolidation of JVs for SBM Offshore. As disclosed in its 2013 Annual Report, the Company is now required to account for its fully controlled JVs on a fully consolidated basis (mostly impacting all Brazilian FPSOs) and apply equity accounting to the Company's jointly controlled JVs (mostly Angolan FPSOs). These new standards (IFRS 10, 11 & 12) apply to the income statement, statement of financial position and cash flow statement.

On balance, this implementation has a limited impact on SBM Offshore's IFRS revenue as the additionally reported partner share in the fully consolidated ventures is offset by the exclusion of revenue in the equity accounted ventures and almost nil to net income attributable to shareholders. However, the Company's reported total asset value at yearend 2013 has increased significantly by approximately US\$1.6 billion, as the now fully consolidated Brazilian assets are younger and represent a larger part of the balance sheet. A similar effect is visible at the gross debt level, increasing from US\$2.9 billion to US\$3.6 billion. The Company's 2013 pro-forma financial statements were disclosed in SBM Offshore's Q1 trading update.

As this change of consolidation rules under IFRS further complicates the understanding of the Company's performance and as previously announced, Directional1 reporting will be based on proportional consolidation for all Lease & Operate contracts. Compared to previous Directional1 reporting the change is limited to FPSOs Aseng (60% owned) and Capixaba (80% owned) previously fully consolidated and now proportionally consolidated as all other Lease & Operate contracts. This change to Directional1 reporting led to a limited negative impact of US\$35 million and US\$5 million in first half 2013 Directional¹ Revenue and EBIT respectively (no impact on Directional¹ net income attributable to shareholders) and restated figures for first half 2013.

Effective January 1, 2014 SBM Offshore's Directional¹ reporting principles are as follows:

  • Directional¹ reporting represents an additional non-GAAP disclosure to IFRS reporting
  • Directional¹ reporting assumes all lease contracts are classified as operating leases
  • Directional¹ reporting assumes all JVs related to lease contracts are consolidated on a proportional basis
  • Directional¹ reporting is limited to restating the consolidated income statement however no restatement of the statement of financial position is made

Directional1 Performance

In 2013, SBM Offshore decided to extend its reporting with non-IFRS disclosures showing revenue and results ("Directional1 ") more in line with operating cash flows to increase transparency and understanding of the Company's performance and provide unaudited disclosures of Backlog and Income Statement based on Directional1 principles.

Directional1 revenue for the first half of 2014 was up by 6% year-over-year to US\$1,729 million versus US\$1,634 million in the first half of 2013. Directional1 revenue by segment was as follows:

  • Directional1 Turnkey revenue increased by 5% from the year-ago period reflecting the strong activity on the construction of FPSOs Cidade de Maricá and Saquarema during the first half of 2014.
  • Directional1 Lease and Operate revenue increased by 7% versus the first half of 2013 mainly due to FPSO Cidade de Paraty and the Deep Panuke platform commencing production in June 2013 and August 2013, respectively.

Directional1 Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) for the first half of 2014 represented a loss of US\$41 million compared with a loss of US\$8 million in the year-ago period. Underlying Directional1 EBIT excluding the US\$270 million charge recorded on Yme and the impairment variances on Deep Panuke along with the US\$240 million provision in 2014 for the settlement of the investigation of improper sales practices, decreased by 37% to US\$184 million compared to the first half of 2013. This was primarily attributable to:

Directional1 Turnkey EBIT decreased by 40% due to the exceptional performance of various projects during the last year period (OSX-2, Fram, Skarv and construction of Cidade de Paraty). Underlying Directional1 Turnkey EBIT Margin in the first half of 2014 came in at 8.9% compared to 9.6% in the second half of 2013.

1 Directional view is a non-IFRS disclosure, which assumes all lease contracts are classified as operating leases and all vessel joint ventures are proportionally consolidated.

Underlying Directional1 Lease and Operate EBIT remained stable compared with the year-ago period but includes the impact of increased costs associated with the start-up of the two-year focused fleet maintenance programme. Underlying Directional1 Lease & Operate EBIT Margin remained stable at 23.8% in the first half of 2014 compared to the second half of 2013.

Directional1 Overheads expenses reported in the Other segment increased to US\$47 million in the first half of 2014 from US\$22 million in the year-ago period. The strong year-on-year increase was mainly due to the launch of our two year transformation programme, named Odyssey 24, aiming at laying the foundation to deliver consistent and outstanding performance. In general, Overheads expenses increased also due to additional efforts to maintain our leading technological position, as well as one-off items such as the expenses in relation to our internal investigation and the absence of depreciation during the past period for offices held for sale.

For the first half of 2014, Directional1 EBITDA decreased to US\$98 million. Adjusted for non-recurring events, underlying Directional1 EBITDA decreased by 19% to US\$338 million due to the positive effects of the projects closedout in 2013 impacting the Turnkey segment.

Directional1 net financing costs totalled US\$47 million in the first half of 2014, up from US\$42 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to the interest costs related to the FPSO Cidade de Paraty project loan as the unit commenced production in June 2013 and mitigated by the decrease of the overall cost of debt during the period.

SBM Offshore recorded a Directional1 net loss of US\$98 million for the first half of 2014 or US\$0.47 per share, compared with a US\$44 million loss or US\$0.22 per share for the first half of 2013. Adjusted for the US\$270 million charge recorded on Yme and the impairment variances on Deep Panuke along with the US\$240 million provision in 2014 for the settlement of the investigation of potentially improper sales practices, underlying Directional1 net income decreased by 49% year-on-year to US\$127 million or US\$0.61 per share, compared to US\$252 million or US\$1.26 in the first half of 2013 for the reasons stated above.

IFRS Performance

IFRS revenue for the first half of 2014 amounted to US\$2,797 million, an increase of 29% compared to US\$2,164 million in the year-ago period, mainly as a consequence of significant investments in finance lease contracts.

IFRS EBIT for the first half of 2014 increased significantly from US\$74 million to US\$201 million despite the US\$240 million provision in 2014 for the settlement of the investigation of potentially improper sales practices.

IFRS net income attributable to shareholders came in at US\$137 million compared to US\$12 million a year ago.

Directional1 Backlog

Directional1 Backlog as of June 30, 2014 totalled US\$21.5 billion of which approximately US\$1.7 billion is expected to be executed over the remainder of 2014. The Backlog at the end of June 2014 includes the Shell Turritella FPSO Operations & Maintenance contract signed in May 2014.

Directional1 Backlog at the end of June 2014 is as follow:

Statement of Financial Position

The Company has adopted IFRS 10, 11 and 12 in 2014, which had significant consequences for the reported financial statements.

Under new IFRS 10, 11 & 12 consolidation standards for joint ventures (JVs), reported net debt as of December 31, 2013 was restated from US\$2,691 million (previous IFRS) to US\$3,400 million (new IFRS). As of June 30, 2014 net debt under new IFRS standards increased to US\$4,302 million reflecting significant investments in the ongoing Lease and Operate projects under construction for Brazil and Turritella. Cash and cash equivalent balances came in at US\$154 million and committed, undrawn, long-term bank facilities stood at US\$939 million. The average cost of debt is 4.2% compared to 5.3% at the end of 2013 driven by lower cost of debt on recent bridge loans and projects loans, such as Cidade de Paraty.

Total equity as of June 30, 2014 remained stable at US\$2,917 million compared to December 31, 2013. The Company's net debt to total equity increased from 118% at year-end 2013 to 147% at the end of the first half of 2014. This was primarily due to the strong growth of project debt funding finance lease projects under construction for Brazil as well as the Deep Panuke bridge loan set up in May 2014.

As a result of the significant impacts on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position relating to the new IFRS 10 and 11 standards instituted in January 2014, the key financial covenants applying to current bank loans had to be recalculated with the view to place the Company and lenders in the same position as they would have been if the change of IFRS standards had not occurred. Restated for the implementation of IFRS 10 and 11, the Company's solvency ratio stood at 27.5%, firmly within its covenants.

Including cash outflows for finance leases under construction previously reported as investing activities, cash from operating activities was negative US\$817 million for the period compared to negative US\$420 million during the first half of 2013. Cash outflows in finance leases under construction for the first half of 2014 increased significantly to US\$1,370 million compared to US\$541 million in the year-ago period taking into consideration the increasing investments in the fully consolidated FPSOs Cidade de Maricá, Saquarema and Turritella. Following the decision to focus the Company's activities exclusively on FPSOs and FPSO-related products, the disposal process of non-core assets has continued. As of the end of June 2014, the total carrying value of assets presently held for sale amounts to US\$177 million.

Further financial information is provided in the consolidated interim financial statements included in this press release. 2

1. General information

SBM Offshore N.V. is a Company domiciled in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. SBM Offshore N.V. is the holding Company of a group of international, marine technology oriented companies. The Company serves globally the offshore oil and gas industry by supplying engineered products, vessels and systems, and offshore oil and gas production services.

The Company has its listing on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2014 comprise the interim financial statements of SBM Offshore N.V., its subsidiaries and interests in associates and jointly controlled entities (together referred to as 'the Company').

The condensed interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Supervisory Board on 6 August 2014, and have been reviewed, but not audited.

These interim financial statements are presented in millions of US Dollars.

2. Accounting policies and measurements

2.1. Accounting framework

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, as the same policies apply except for the new IFRS standards and interpretations adopted by the EU as at 30 June 2014 and mandatorily applicable as from 1 January 2014.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 are available upon request or can be downloaded on the Company's website.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not materially impacted by either seasonality or cyclicality of operations.

2.1.1. New standards and interpretations applicable as from 1 January 2014

The Company has adopted the following new standards with a date of initial application of 1 January 2014 :

  • IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial statements" which supersedes IAS 27 "Consolidated and separate financial statements", and SIC 12 "Consolidation: Special Purpose Entities";
  • IFRS 11 "Joint arrangements", which supersedes IAS 31 "Interests in Joint-Venture";
  • IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities" ; in the context of interim financial statements, that standard is not applicable as it provides with yearly disclosures requirements;
  • IAS 28 Amended "Interests in Associates and Joint-Ventures";
  • IAS 32 Amended "Financial Instruments: Presentation" about "Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities";
  • IAS 36 Amended "Impairment of assets" about "Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets";
  • IAS 39 Amended "Financial instruments recognition and measurement" about "novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting".

Main impacts of the application of these standards result from the application of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 Amended, which are described in Note 2.2.

2.1.2. Standards and interpretations not mandatorily applicable as from 1 January 2014

The following standards and interpretations were published by the IASB but have not been adopted yet by the European Commission :

  • Annual improvements 2012 and 2013;
  • IFRS 9 Amended "Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement";
  • IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Hedge Accounting";
  • IFRS 7 Amended "Financial Instruments: Disclosures";
  • IAS 19 Amended "Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions";
  • IFRS 15 "Revenue from contract with customers";
  • Amendments to IAS 16 and 38 about "clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation".

In addition, the IFRIC 21 " Levies" has been endorsed by the EU, but its application is not mandatory as from 1 January 2014.

The Company does not apply these standards and interpretations but is currently analysing the impacts and practical consequences of their future application.

2.2. Change in accounting method : application of IFRS 10 and 11 and IAS 28 Amended

The Company applies the new standards relating to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 Amended as from 1 January 2014.

IFRS 10 introduces a new control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. This new model focuses on whether a Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and its ability to use its power to affect those returns.

IFRS 11 changes the accounting treatment for interests in joint arrangements by distinguishing two types of joint arrangements:

  • a company's interest in a joint operation, which is an arrangement in which a company has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, will be accounted for on the basis of the Company's interest in those assets and liabilities; and
  • a company's interest in a joint-venture, which is an arrangement in which a company has rights only to the net assets, will be equity-accounted.

When making this assessment, IFRS 11 requires consideration of the structure of joint arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. Finally, IFRS 11 terminates the proportionate consolidation of joint-ventures.

2.2.1. Consequences on the consolidation scope

In accordance with these new standards, the Company has reviewed the nature of control exercised by the Company on its jointly owned entities. As a result, and as disclosed in its 2013 annual financial statements, the Company is now required :

  • to account for its fully controlled subsidiaries on a full consolidated basis, mostly impacting Brazilian FPSOs; and
  • to apply equity accounting treatment to the jointly controlled joint-ventures, mostly impacting Angolan FPSOs.

None of the jointly owned entities are qualified for joint-operations as per IFRS 11.

The changes of accounting treatments are the following :

2.2.2. Consequences on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements

Changes to equity accounting treatment :

The contributions of formerly proportionately consolidated entities which are now accounted for under the equity method are removed from the various line items in the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated income statement and are now presented as a separate asset and result, respectively called "Investment in associates and joint-ventures" and "Share of profit of equity-accounted investees".

As a result, reciprocal intercompany transactions with no profit or loss impact at consolidation level, carried out with these entities are no longer eliminated for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Thus, the removal of these entities' contributions from the various line items in the Company's financial statements is partially offset by the presentation in the same line items of the amounts for the transactions carried out by the Group with these entities. The impact arising from reciprocal intercompany transactions does not, however, have any impact on the operating profit and net income.

Changes to full consolidation method :

To the opposite, the contribution of formerly proportionately consolidated entities which are now fully consolidated are accounted for at one hundred per cent in the consolidated statement of financial position and the income statement, disregarding the percentage of ownership of the Company in these investees.

As a result, reciprocal intercompany transactions with no profit or loss impact at consolidation level, carried out with these entities are now fully eliminated for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Finally, the implementation of new standards has a limited impact on the Company's IFRS revenue and net income attributable to shareholders, but the total asset value, equity attributable to non-controlling interests and loans and borrowings have increased significantly, mainly due to the effect of the full consolidation of Brazilian investees.

2.2.3. Detailed impacts on the Company's consolidated financial statements

The Group complied with the transitional measures for application of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 Amended. The 2013 comparative figures have been restated accordingly for comparison purposes.

2.3. Change in presentation

The Company has reviewed its presentation of cash outflows relating to finance leases contracts during construction period and realigned the cashflow presentation with the accounting treatment of finance lease as per IAS17 :

  • during the construction period cash outflows are treated as operating activities, and no more, as previously reported, as investing activities;
  • during the lease period cash inflows remain treated as operating activities.

This change in presentation has been applied retrospectively to the 2013 comparative period in accordance with IAS 1.

2.4. Use of estimates

In the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, it is necessary for management of the Company to make estimates and certain assumptions that can affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and the outcome of the income statement. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and assumptions

were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

2.5. Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 3.8."Accounting classifications and fair value of financial instruments".

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • in the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Information regarding the fair value of all financial assets and liabilities is included in Note 3.8. "Accounting classifications and fair value of financial instruments".

2.6. Financial risk management

All aspects of the Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

In the Company's view, financial market, treasury and liquidity risks remain largely covered by the Company's full hedging policy and resulting volatility is not considered material in the overall financial context.

3. Notes to the interim financial statements

As previously disclosed in various press releases, the Company voluntarily reported in April 2012 an internal investigation into potentially improper sales practices involving third parties to the relevant authorities, and has since been in dialogue with these authorities.

The Company is discussing a potential settlement of the issues arising from the investigation. While these discussions are ongoing, it is sufficiently clear that a resolution of the issues will have a financial component, and consequently the Company has recorded a non-recurring charge of US\$ 240 million in the first half-year 2014, reflecting the information currently available to the Company.

Until the matter is concluded, the Company cannot provide further details regarding a possible resolution of the issues arising from the investigation, and no assurance can be given that a settlement will actually be reached.

The US\$ 11 million net reversal of impairment relates mainly to a US\$ 15 million reversal of impairment for MOPU Deep Panuke, following the signature in May 2014 of a settlement agreement.

The increase in interest expenses in 2014 is mainly related to interests paid on facilities upon commencement of production of FPSO Cidade de Paraty and MOPU Deep Panuke.

3.3. Earning/Loss per share

The basic earnings per share for the period is US\$ 0.66 (2013 restated : US\$ 0.06). The fully diluted earnings per share amounts to US\$ 0.66 (2013 restated : US\$ 0.06).

Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing net profit/loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/loss attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential shares into ordinary shares.

The following reflects the share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

3.8. Accounting classifications and fair values of financial instruments

Accounting classification

The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy for financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, which require disclosure of fair value measurements by level:

  • 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).

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value:

Review report

To: The Supervisory Board and the Board of Management of SBM Offshore N.V

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2014 of SBM Offshore N.V., Schiedam, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the condensed income statement, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of changes in equity, the condensed statement of cash flows and the selected explanatory notes for the six-month period then ended. Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this (condensed) interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope

We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the company. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
