Letter from the CEO

Welcome to the first half-year report for Solstad Maritime ASA as a listed company on Euronext Oslo Børs under the ticker SOMA. Our first day of trading was 16 May 2025, and I am pleased that we achieved the planned stock exchange listing within the previously communicated timeframe.

We currently live in a somewhat chaotic and unpredictable world. Armed conflicts, political turmoil and international tariff disputes have created a cocktail of geopolitical uncertainty that affects people and businesses worldwide. While we are closely monitoring these developments, they have so far had limited impact on Solstad Maritime's operations.

High activity in a stable market has resulted in another quarter of solid operational and financial performance.

The results in the period have, however, been impacted by a considerable amount of planned maintenance and vessel upgrades. During the first half of 2025, ten Solstad Maritime vessels completed main class renewals, along with additional drydockings and maintenance stops. The main part of this year's program is now completed and this points towards higher utilization in the second half of the year.

We also continue to strengthen Solstad Services. Several new ROVs from Omega Subsea have recently been committed to and are planned to be installed on Solstad Maritime vessels in 2026 and 2027.

Activity levels remain good in the markets we are present in, as field developments, high E&P spending, and activities in offshore wind continue to demand vessel capacity. We are still experiencing market growth, but not on the same trajectory we saw one year ago. However, there are still many market prospects, and presence in key strategic markets is key to capitalizing on such opportunities.

An example of the latter is the offshore oil and gas market in Brazil, where Solstad Maritime secured multiple long-term contracts during the first half of the year. As a result, we enter the second half of the year with a solid order backlog.

We are pleased with our performance in the first half of 2025 and believe we are well positioned for the second half of the year.

Structure

Operational Update

The decline in fleet utilization is explained by an exceptional high number of yard stays related to main class renewals, a weaker spot market for AHTS in the North Sea, and preparations for new contracts. Several new Omega Subsea ROVs have recently been committed to and are planned to be installed on Solstad Maritime vessels in 2026 and 2027. This will further strengthen the revenue potential of Solstad Services within our CSV and AHTS segments.

Operational highlights | 1H 2025

  • Total fleet utilization of 79% (85%) in the first half of the year
  • Numerous new long-term contracts won in the South American offshore market
  • Large drydocking program completed in 1H 2025, significantly affecting revenue in the period

1H REPORT 2025

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

Approximately 1,400 employees onshore and offshore were working for Solstad Maritime during 1H 2025.

Over the last 12 months there have been a relatively normal number of minor incidents but no LTIs (lost time incidents) which is an extraordinary result. No red/high potential incidents in the period.

Health and safety

In 1H 2025, Solstad Maritime reported a Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) of 1.01 over the last 12 months, which is above the target of 1.00 and higher than the same period last year (0.95). 0 (zero) LTIs (lost time incidents) occurred in the first half of the year resulting in a LTIF of 0.

Over the past six months, several measures have been introduced to enhance safety, including vessel visits from a newly established position called "Safety Coach", management meetings with captains, and prioritizing safety at company conferences. The HSE campaign for the second half of 2025 emphasizes the question: Are you SAFE?

Environment

Solstad Maritime has defined a net-zero emissions goal in 2050. The Company continuously analyses the market and cooperates with key suppliers and clients to investigate possibilities for using alternative green fuels. However, the road is still long and there are limited commercial technologies and green fuels available in the short to medium term for our vessel segments.

In 1H 2025, the average GHG emissions was 39.4 tons of CO2 per day in operation for the vessels, up 5% from 1H 2024 mainly due to high activity and several long vessel transits. Compared to the 2010 baseline, Solstad has reduced vessel emissions per day in operation by about 20%.

Total direct GHG emissions from the operational fleet was 137,144 tons CO2eq in 1H 2025, down 6.7% from the corresponding period last year.

On average 25.9 Solstad Green Operations (SGOs) were executed per vessel per month during 1H 2025 (23.1 SGOs in 1H 2024).

A single 30 liter oil spill was registered during 1H 2025, compared to 1 liter in 1H 2024. This was an operational spill from a leaking propulsion azimuth. The target is zero oil spills.

Fleet update

Solstad Maritime's fleet utilization in 1H 2025 was 79%, compared to 85% in the same period last year. The decline is explained by a larger number of yard stays, a weaker spot market for AHTS in the North Sea, and preparations for new contracts.

Eight of Solstad Maritime's vessels are currently on bareboat charter from SOMA to Solstad Offshore in Brazil. In addition, there is a vessel on a split contract setup, in which is operated through Solstad Offshore but on bareboat charter from SOMA directly to the ultimate endclient.

The technical uptime for vessels in operation was 96.98% for Solstad Maritime in 1H 2025 (98.81%). The target technical uptime is 98.5%.

As many as ten Solstad Maritime vessels completed main class renewals (MCR) or drydocking during 1H 2025. An additional two vessels are still undergoing drydockings at end of 1H 2025 in connection with MCR, while four vessels completed maintenance stops in the period. Revenue was obviously affected by the fact that more than one third of Solstad Maritime's vessels completed MCR or drydocking in the period. However, with the main part of this year's upgrade/maintenance program completed, this points towards higher utilization in the second half of the year.

Five Solstad Maritime vessels were mobilized to new regions in 1H 2025. The AHTS Normand Ferking as well

as CSV Normand Navigator both relocated from Europe to South America. The CSVs Normand Vision and Normand Sentinel both relocated to Europe following campaigns in Africa, while the CSV Normand Jarstein sailed in the opposite direction – from Europe to Africa.

The utilization rate for CSVs was 86% during first half of the year, down from 87% in the same period last year. Utilization rate for AHTS vessels ended at 62%, down from 81% in 1H 2024.

Geographical markets

Solstad Maritime's extensive fleet of vessels is capable of supporting energy operators worldwide. During 1H 2025 the busiest regions for the fleet were South America and Europe with 12 and 11 vessels, respectively, engaged in these parts of the world. Further, four vessels were operating in Australia in 1H 2025, plus three in Asia and two in Africa.

Energy Transition

Oil and gas is the most active energy market for Solstad Maritime, with 29 vessels engaged in petroleum-related activities during 1H 2025. The three remaining vessels, all CSVs, supported renewable energy activities in Asia and Europe during the first half of the year.

Solstad Services

Solstad Services enables an offering of additional services such as ROVs, tooling, project personnel and engineering support.

The main focus remains on being an owner and operator of offshore vessels, but through Solstad Services, clients can access a more complete and well-equipped working platform and service offering.

In H1 2025, two Omega Subsea ROVs were mobilized on board the Solstad Maritime-owned CSV Normand Mermaid as part of the ongoing strengthening of Solstad Services.

In May 2025, SOMA's related party Omega Subsea ordered 12 new ROVs, of which eight will be leased to and installed on board Solstad Maritime vessels in 2026/2027. Omega Subsea also holds an option for an additional 10 ROVs. Solstad Offshore respectively owns 35.8 percent of Omega Subsea AS and 27.3 percent of Solstad Maritime ASA.

Risk

The Company is exposed to market, operational, cyber security, safety and environmental, climate and regulatory, legal, tax and financial risks including refinancing risk, that affect the assets, liabilities, available liquidity, and future cash flows.

The risk mitigation framework is based on identifying, assessing, and managing risks that affect the Company. The Board of Solstad Maritime monitors the overall risk factors for the Company.

One of the key commercial risks for Solstad Maritime is the cyclical oil and gas markets that the Company operates in, with high volatility in charter rates, vessel values, and consequently profitability. Factors affecting this are mostly outside Solstad Maritime's control and influence.

Operational risks such as technical breakdown, grounding, and malfunction of equipment are partly mitigated by insurance.

Procurement and logistic risk relate to pressure on the global supply chain. The lead time on a certain number of critical spares has increased significantly. Planning and evaluation of critical spares will therefore be an important factor to avoid down-time. The situation in the Middle East implies risk to oil price, safety, shipping costs and price of goods. Solstad Maritime currently has no activity in the Middle East and no transits are planned through the region.

Cyber security risk remains a significant concern and continues to evolve due to geopolitical instability, economic uncertainty, and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats through both AI and traditional methods.

The Company is exposed to interest rate and currency risk, primarily through financing and contracts. Interest rate risk is mainly due to long-term debt with floating interest. There is also a risk exposure to new and rapid changes to tax regulations.

For further details about risk factors, refer to section 10 in the Board of Directors' report in the Annual Report for 2024.

Market Outlook

activities. Installation of wind turbines and cables will also generate demand for vessels, mainly in Europe and Asia. In addition, decommissioning of existing installations is a growing market that adds positively to vessel demand.

There are vessels under construction in the CSV segment (100t – 250t cranes) representing about 10% of the existing fleet. These vessels are planned for delivery in 2026 and mainly 2027. Further activity growth is needed for the market to absorb this new capacity.

Events Subsequent to the Quarter

No material events after balance date.

The market for offshore energy activities remain positive across the Company's core segments. Subsea contractors report solid backlogs, and oil companies are maintaining the current levels of exploration and production (E&P) spending. Although the offshore wind sector has faced some uncertainty, activity continues at existing levels. This being said, there is a fine balance between supply and demand for vessels and in general there are less requirements in the market at this time of the year compared to last year. An exemption in Brazil, where there are many opportunities, and several longterm contracts have been awarded lately.

Over the coming years several new offshore installations are planned in key regions like Brazil, Guyana and the North Sea to name a few. These developments are expected to generate opportunities for vessel owners to support mooring, pipelaying, and other installation

Notes

Notes to condensed statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position

Note 1: General

Solstad Maritime ASA's (The Company. OSE ticker: SOMA) head office is in Skudeneshavn, Norway. The Company's main activities are operation and ownership of offshore service and construction vessels. The Company is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange.

This consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated interim financial reporting should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 for Solstad Maritime ASA Group (the Company), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.

The Group has changed its presentation currency from NOK to USD in 2025. The functional currency for several companies in the group changed from NOK to USD in 2024, and it has been considered that since USD is the prevailing functional currency in the group, the presentation currency for the Group should also be USD. The opening balance of 2024 and the 31 December 2024 Statement of financial position has been restated to USD.

The accounting policies implemented are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Going Concern

The interim accounts are prepared on the assumption of a going concern. The going concern assumption is based on the level of cash and cash equivalents and equity at reporting date, terms and conditions of the Refinancing agreement with banking and borrowing facilities, the forecasted cash flow prognosis for the Company and the backlog position as of 30 June 2025.

Significant Judgements, Accounting Estimates and Assessments Lifetime of vessels

The Group changed the useful life of vessels in 2024, with prospective effect from 01 January 2025 for depreciations. The useful life is 25 years, but could be considered higher or lower than 25 years depending on the specific plan for the vessel.

.

1H REPORT 2025

Note 2: Reporting per Segment

The Group's main activity is to offer ships, additional services (ROVs etc) and maritime personnel in all geographical regions.

Internally the Company reports and monitors it's operation in the following two segments:

  • AHTS: Anchor-handling tug supply vessels.
  • CSV: Construction support vessels operating subsea construction contracts.

Within each segment income and cost are allocated to vessel operations and service operations. Services operations are additional services such as ROVs, tooling, project personnel and engineering support.

Services, which was a segment in 2024, has due to a change in internal organization been taken away as a seperate segment, but is considered as part of the related vessels operation in the AHTS or CSV segment. Compareable numbers have been restated accordingly. The AHTS and CSV operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief operating decision maker.

Lease adjustments in accordance with IFRS 16 are not included in the reported financial information per segment. Other income and costs not allocated to the two segments are included as Other. Management fee on vessels (reported as administrative expense) and related income in the management company (booked as cost reduction in administrative expense) is not eliminated.

Impairment Testing of Vessels

Summary

The Company assesses quarterly whether there is any impairment indicators on the fixed assets, or if there are indicators that prior period impairment loss no longer exists or have decreased in accordance with IAS 36. If such indicators exist, the recoverable amount of the assets are estimated. The forecasts and 5YP for 2025-2029 was updated during 1H 2025. On one vessel the change in estimated EBITDA from prior forecasts was an indication of impairment. No other vessels were identified with impairment indicators or indicators of reversal of impairment.

Based on value-in-use-calculations the Company has not recognized impairment or reversal of impairment as of 30 June 2025.

Impairment Testing

The recoverable amount is the highest of an assets calcualted value in use or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is calculated using broker values unless there are available estimates for sales values. Broker value is set as an average of three acknowledged, independent brokers. Each vessel is considered a separate cash generating unit. The value-in-usecalculations are based on budget and the long-term forecast. The main assumptions used in the computations are charter rates, utilization, escalation of expenses, operational area and weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

Impairment testing was performed for one vessel (AHTS).

Discount Rate

The discount rate is based on a weighted average of capital cost (WACC) for the Group. The cost of equity is derived from the 10-year interest rate for state bonds (risk-free interest rate), market risk premium and an unlevered beta (Damodaran

for Western Europe and US). The debt element of the discount rate is based on the risk-free interest rate, plus a premium equivalent to the difference between risk-free rate and market rates. The discount rate used as of 2Q 2025 is post-tax rate of 10.8%.

Revenue Assumptions

For vessels having firm contracts, revenue is based on the current contracts. For vessels without firm contracts, and for vessels where the firm contract expires during the prognosis period, revenue is based on expected utilization and charter dayrates in the vessels assumed operational area over the prognosis period. The long-term forecast expects the market to stabalize, and a gradual increase in day rates over the prognosis period. Market rates after period end gives support to estimated rate levels in the early prognosis period. Market uncertainty is reflected in the assumptions, based on managements assessment and market analysis provided from independent third parties.

Inflation

Inflation used in the prognosis period is based on expectations for the geographical regions the company operates.

Residual Values

Estimated residual values used in the value-in-use calculations are set using the same principle as for the ordinary depreciations, but is updated with the quarterly broker values in the calculation. It is assumed that the vessels are disposed after 25 years in operations unless the vessel is included in the forecasts/budgets beyond the 25 years. Average age of the core fleet is 16 years, with respectively 15 years average for the CSV vessels and 16 years for the AHTS vessels.

Climate-Related Matters

The Group constantly monitors the latest regulatory changes in relation to climate-related matters. A climate scenario analysis was conducted during 2024 to assess the resilience of the Groups strategy and business model. The climate scenarios are compatible with the assumptions made in the financial statements.

Regulatory changes in climate requirements may impact future cash inflows for the Group. It is however not expected to have any significant effect on the Group's operating expenses, as higher fuel prices due to CO2 levies or the cost of green fuels will for the most part be recharged to our clients. Based on the management's judgements as of 30 June 2025 no material effects are identified for the prognosis period.

Changes in environmental requirements may impact the residual value and economical lifetime in the future. To effectively meet short-term sustainability goals, implementing measures to enhance operational energy efficiency stands out as the optimal solution for curbing emissions. Transitioning to green technologies, battery hybrid and/or shore power upgrade proves currently to be the most advantageous. It is expected that certain charterers will demand green investments in vessels for future contracts in the medium term (2-5 years), but this is expected to be supported by increased charter rates as well. The board approved forecasts include MUSD 5.4 of green investments related to investments on two vessels as of 30 June 2025.

Long-term sustainability goals require newbuild programs and new technology to be in place. There are currently few newbuild programs, but certain green technology has become available. It is assessed that limited newbuilds will be delivered to the market short term. Rebuilding existing vessels to decarbonize and building new low-emission vessels come at an increased financial cost. We need support from our clients including long-term commitments to install new green technology for us and them to reach future emission reduction targets.

The Group's vessels are high-end, large offshore vessels, and an increasingly worsened climate and weather are not expected to affect the usability of the existing fleet.

Based on this, the Company assesses that residual values and economic lifetime of existing vessels are not materially reduced in today's market. This could however change in the future. The Company will adjust the key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations and sensitivities to relevant parameters should changes occur.

Appendix Alternative Performance Measures

In order to enhance investors' understanding of the Group's performance, the Company presents certain alternative performance measures ("APMs") as defined by the Company, prepared in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") in the ESMA Guidelines in Alternative Performance Measures 2015/1057.

An APM is defined as a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework (IFRS). The Company uses APMs to measure operating performance and is of the view that the APMs provide investors with relevant and specific operating figures which may enhance their understanding of the Group's performance.

The APMs used by the Group are set out below:

Operating result before depreciation, impairment and reversal of impairment. The Company presents this APM
because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure for investors to understand the overall picture of profit
generation in the Group's underlying operating activities. This measure excludes the effects of non-cash depreciation
and impairment charges, providing a clearer view of the Company's operational performance. EBITDA is a typical
measure used by companies in the sectors in which the Group operates.
Operating result before depreciation and impairment adjusted for Joint Ventures, Associated Companies, net gain/loss
on sale of assets, IFRS 16 leases and other non-recurring items. The Company presents this APM because it considers
it to be an important supplemental measure for investors to understand the overall picture of profit generation in the
Group's underlying operating activities, excluding the effects of certain non-recurring or non-operational items. This
measure provides a clearer view of the Company's operational performance and is commonly used by companies in the
sectors in which the Group operates.
Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total operating income. The Company presents this APM because it considers it to
be an important supplemental measure for investors to understand the profitability of the Group's core operating
activities relative to its total operating income. This measure provides insight into the efficiency and effectiveness of the
Company's operations and is commonly used by companies in the sectors in which the Group operates.
NIBD is calculated as the total interest-bearing liabilities less cash and bank deposits. The Company presents this APM
because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure for investors to understand the Company's financial
position and its ability to meet financial obligations. NIBD provides insight into the level of debt that is subject to interest
payments, net of the Company's available liquid assets.
NIBD adjusted by excluding IFRS 16 lease obligations. The Company presents this APM because it considers it to be
an important supplemental measure for investors to understand the Company's net debt position, excluding the impact
of lease liabilities recognised under IFRS 16. This measure provides a clearer view of the Company's financial leverage
and liquidity, and is commonly used by companies in the sectors in which the Group operates.
Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) is a measure of the amount of cash that a company can return to its shareholders
on the basis of net cash flow from operations, net cash flow from investments, and net cash flow from financing, where
dividends are added back. It represents the cash available to equity holders after the Company has met its financial
obligations and invested in its growth.
Backlog is the total of undiscounted future revenues from contracts that the Company and the customer have mutually
agreed in writing (firm/binding contracts). The Company presents this APM because it considers it to be an important
supplemental measure for investors to understand the Company's future revenue potential and overall business health.
Order intake represents the total, undiscounted value of new orders received by the Company
from its customers during a specified period. It reflects the demand for the Company's products or services and
is an important indicator of future revenue potential. Order intake is recognised when a binding agreement is
made between the Company and its customers. These new orders contribute to the Company's Backlog.
Book-to-Bill ratio. B2B compares the value of new orders received (Order intake) to the value of orders fulfilled
(Operating income) during the same period. This is a key indicator of market demand and the Company's ability to
generate future revenue. A Book-to-Bill ratio greater than 1 indicates that the Company is receiving more orders than
it is fulfilling, which is a positive sign of growth, whereas a ratio below 1 is a negative sign regarding growth potential.
The Company presents this APM because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure for investors to
understand the Company's market dynamics and future revenue potential.
