John Evans, Chief Executive Officer, said:

Subsea7 achieved several milestones in the second quarter of 2024 that support management's confidence in the Group.

First, our confidence in the future is underpin of our delivery in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of \$292 million – equating to a margin of 17% – was driven by operational performance from both our project teams excepting major contracts, and by our offshore crews delivering high utilisation and efficiency of our global enabler vessels.

Second, our order intake continues to extend visibility for the coming years. A record intake of \$4.0 billion in the second quarter increased our backlog to \$12.5 billion, including the renewal of long-term contracts for four PLSVs in Brazil. We see good demand for capacity stretching to the end of the decade, with major new prospects continuing to replenish our bidding pipeline.

Finally, the quality of the backlog continued to improve in the second quarter, underpinning our outlook for Adjusted EBITDA margins within a range of 18 to 20% in 2025 and in excess of 20% in full year 2026. This improving embedded profitability gives us confidence in the outlook for strong cash generation and supports our commitment to shareholder returns of at least \$1 billion in 2024 to 2027.

With the right teams and assets in place, we are confident that the Group's differentiated, value accretive slient relationships position us to deliver strong financial performance in the coming years.

Second quarter operational highlights

During the second quarter, good progress was made in Subsea and Conventional on our major projects. For Yggdrasil, we completed the rigid pipelay fabrication at the Vigra spoolbase in Norway, while fabrication of the Wick spoolbase in Scotland. In Brazil, we commenced stalk fabrication for Mero 4 at the Bintan spoolbase in Indonesia we completed the fabrication and loadout of pipeline for Barossa.

During the quarter utilisation of our subsea global enabler vessels was very high. Seven Borealis completed its pipelay scope for the Gas to Energy project in Guyana while, in Brazil, Seven Vega cope for Bacalhau before mobilising for Mero 3. In Australia, Seven Oceans completed its scope for Scarborough as well as, on 2 July, its second offshore campaign for Barossa. In Norway, Seven Navica completed offshore activities for the Northern Lights carbon capture project.

In Renewables, utilisation of our key installation vessels was high including Seaway Alfa Lift at Dogger Bank B, and Seaway Aimery at Moray West, both in the UK. Seaway Ventus completed its inaugural turbine installation scope for Gode Wind 3 in

Germany and commenced Borkum Riffgrund 3 in the UK. Seaway Phoenix continued activities in Taiwan for Zhong Neng and Yunlin, and Seaway Moxie transited to Taiwan to support the Yunlin project.

Second quarter financial review

Revenue of \$1.7 billion increased 15% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA of \$292 million equated to an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 17%, up from 11% in Q2 2023. This was driven by a strong performance in Subsea and Conventional, reflecting high utilisation of the global enabler vessels as well as good progress in engineering and procurement activities.

After depreciation and amorisation of \$156 million, net operating income was \$137 million, compared to net operating income of \$1 million in the prior year period. Net finance costs of \$24 million, a net foreign exchange loss of \$8 million, resulted in net income for the quarter of \$63 million compared with \$14 million in the prior year period.

Net cash generated from operating activities in the second quarter was \$187 million increase in net working capital. Net cash used in investing activities was \$202 million mainly comprisent of \$155 million relating to our investment in OneSubsea. Net cash used in financing activities was \$213 million including dividend payments of \$82 million, share repurchases of \$19 million and lease payments of \$55 million related to the purchase of a vesse, to be renamed Seven Merlin (formerly African Inspiration), which was completed in July 2024. Overall, cash and cash equivalents decreased by \$314 million to \$290 million at 30 June 2024. This resulted in net debt of \$494 million excluding or \$1,027 million including lease liabilities of \$533 million.

Second quarter order intake was \$4.0 billion comprising new awards of \$3.2 billion resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 2.3 times. Backlog at the end of June was \$12.5 billion is expected to be executed in 2024, \$4.9 billion in 2025 and \$4.3 billion in 2026 and beyond.

Guidance

Revenue expected to be in a range from \$6.5 to \$6.8 billion) while Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between \$1,000 and \$1,050 million (previously \$950 to \$1,000 million).

In full year 2025, as the mix of activity continues to shift to projects won in a more favourable environment, our Adjusted EBTDA margin is expected to be within an 18 to 20% range. We expect the margin to continue to improve, exceeding 20% in full year 2026.

9. Treasury shares continued

On 28 June 2024, in accordance with the authorisation given to the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on 18 April 2023 EGM), the Board resolved to reduce share capital by an amount of \$4,212,000 through the cancellation of 2,106,000 treasury shares. Following the Company's issued share capital was \$604,376,544 represented by 302,188,272 common shares with a par value of \$2.00.

10. Share repurchase programme

During the second quarter, 1,134,434 shares were repurchased for a cost of \$19.4 million, under the Group's \$200 million share repurchase programme authorised by the Board of Directors on 24 July 2019, the Board of Directors authorised a 24-month extension to this programme which will now expire on 18 April 2025.

At 30 June 2024, the Group had cumulatively repurchased 12, 106, 212 shares for a total cost of \$1 10.9 million under this programme.

11. Borrowings

During the second quarter, the Group requested a one-year extension to its multi-currency revolving credit and guarantee facility which will now mature in June 2029. The facility will reduce from \$700 million in June 2027 and will reduce further to \$500 million in June 2028 until maturity in June 2029. The facility was unutilised at 30 June 2024.

12. Commitments and contingent liabilities

Commitments

At 30 June 2024, the Group had contractual commitments totalling \$183.8 million (31 December 2023: \$204.4 million) including commitments related to the purchase of a be renamed Seven Merlin (formerly African Inspiration), which was completed in July 2024.

Contingent liabilities not recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Group is subject to tax audits and receives tax assessments in a number of jurisdictions where it has, or has had, operations. The estimation of the ultimate outcome of these audits and disputed tax assessments is complex and subjective. The likely outcome of the audits and associated cash outflow, if any, may be impacted by technical uncertainty and the availability of supporting documentation.

Between 2009 and 2023, the Group's Brazilian businesses were audited and formally assessed for ICMS and federal taxes (including import duty) by the Brazilan state and federal tax authorities. The amount assessed, including peralies and interest, at 30 June 2024 amounted to BRL 981.4 million, equivalent to \$182.0 million, equivalent to \$196.6 million, equivalent to \$196.6 million). The Group has challenged these assessments. A contingent liability has been disclosed for the tisclosure criteria have been met however management believes that the likelihood of payment is not probable.

During 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Group's Brazilian business received several labour claims. The amount assessed at 30 June 2024 amounted to BRL 170.3 million , equivalent to \$31.6 million , equivalent to \$39.4 million, equivalent to \$39.4 million). The Group has challenged these claims. A contingent liability has been disclosed for BRL 119.2 million as the disclosure criteria have been met (31 December 2023: BRL 137.2 million), however, management believes that the likelihood of payment is not probable. At 30 June 2024, a provision of BRL 51.1 million was recognised within the Consolidated Balance Sheet (31 December 2023: BRL 54.6 million), as the IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets' recognition criteria were met.

Contingent liabilities recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet

As part of the accounting for the business combination of Pioneer Linited, IFRS 3 required the Group to recognise a provision in respect of contingent conside to a third party following the acquisition of intangible assets in 2009. The value of the provision recognised within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at 30 June 2024 was \$0.5 million (31 December 2023: \$0.5 million). While complying with the requirements of IFRS 3, management continues to believe that payment relating recognised contingent liabilities is not probable.

13. Fair value and financial instruments

The carying values of the Group's financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the Condensed Consolicated Financial Statements approximate their fair values.

Borrowings

Fair value is deternined by matching the maturity profile of amcunts utilised under each facility to market interest rates available to the Group for borrowings with similar security, and repayment profiles. At 30 June 2024, interest charged under each facility is representative of market rates currently available to the Group and therefore the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Fair value measurements

Fair value hierarchy

The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable inarket data (unobservable inputs).

Recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements

Recurring fair value measurements are that IFRS require at the end of each reporting period and non-recurring fair value measurements are those that IFRS require or permit in particular circumstances.

Assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and their level in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

of the Group's
performance either
period-on-period or
with other businesses.
Adjusted EBITDA
margin is defined as
Adjusted EBITDA
divided by revenue,
expressed as a
percentage.
Net
income/(loss)
Net income/(loss) adjusted to
exclude depreciation and
amortisation costs, including
amortisation of prepaid
mobilisation expenses and
amortisation of intangible assets,
impairment charges or
impairment reversals, gains and
losses on disposal of property,
plant and equipment and
maturity of lease liabilities, finance
income, remeasurement gains
and losses on business
combinations, other gains and
losses (including foreign
exchange gains and losses,
gains on disposal of subsidiaries,
gains and losses resulting from
remeasurement of contingent
consideration, gains on
distributions and bargain
purchase gains on business
combinations), finance costs and
taxation.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA margin are important
indicators of the operational strength
and the performance of the Group
and provide a meaningful
comparative for its business units.
The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
is also useful as it is similar to
measures used by companies within
Subsea7's peer group. Adjusted
EBITDA margin may also be a useful
ratio to compare performance to the
Group's competitors and is widely
used by shareholders and analysts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA margin as presented by the
Group may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
Effective tax
rate (ETR)
The effective tax rate is
expressed as a
percentage, calculated
as the taxation
expense/(credit) divided
by the income/(loss)
before taxes.
Taxation n/a Provides a useful and relevant
measure of the effectiveness of the
Group's tax strategy and tax
planning.
Balance Sheet APM
Net
cash/(debt)
excluding
lease
liabilities and
net
cash/(debt)
including
lease
liabilities
Net cash/(debt) is
defined as cash and
cash equivalents less
borrowings. The Group
utilises both net
cash/(debt) excluding
lease liabilities and net
cash/(debt) including
lease liabilities as
financial position
measures.
No direct
equivalent
Calculated as cash and cash
equivalent less borrowings
(current and non-current). The
measure may exclude lease
liabilities (current and non-
current) or include them.
Net cash/(debt) provides a
meaningful and reliable basis to
evaluate financial strength and
liquidity of the Group.

Alternative Perfomance Measures (APMs) continued

Cash flow APMs
Cash
conversion
Cash conversion is
defined as net cash
generated from/(used
in) operating activities,
add back income taxes
paid, divided by
Adjusted EBITDA,
expressed as a
percentage.
No direct
equivalent
Calculated as net cash generated
from/(used in) operating activities
in the Group's Consolidated
Cash Flow Statement, add back
income taxes paid and divided by
Adjusted EBITDA.
Cash conversion is a financial
management tool to determine the
efficiency of the Group's ability to
generate cash from its operating
activities.
Free cash
flow
Free cash flow is
defined as net cash
generated from/(used
in) operating activities
less purchases of
property, plant and
equipment and
intangible assets.
No direct
equivalent
Calculated as net cash generated
trom/(used in) operating activities
trom the Group's Consolidated
Cash Flow Statement less
purchases of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets.
Free cash flow is a relevant metric for
shareholders and analysts when
determining cash available to the
Group to invest or potentially
distribute.
Other APMs
Backlog Backlog represents
expected future
revenue from projects.
Awards to associates
and joint ventures are
excluded from backlog
figures, unless
otherwise stated.
Despite being a non-
IFRS term, the Group
recognises backlog in
accordance with the
requirements of IFRS
15, 'Revenue from
Contracts with
Customers', which
represents revenue
expected to be
recognised in the future
related to performance
obligations which are
unsatisfied, or partially
unsatisfied, at the
reporting date.
Transaction
price
allocated to
the remaining
performance
obligations
n/a Utilising the term backlog is in
accordance with expected industry-
wide terminology. It is similarly used
by companies within Subsea/'s peer
group and is a helpful term for those
evaluating companies within
Subsea7's industry. Backlog may
also be useful to compare
performance with competitors and is
widely used by shareholders and
analysts. Notwithstanding this,
backlog presented by the Group may
not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other
companies.
Order intake Order intake represents
new project awards
plus escalations on
existing projects.
No direct
equivalent
n/a Order intake is in accordance with
expected industry-wide terminology
and primarily enables the book-to-bill
APM to be calculated.
Book-to-bill
ratio
Book-to-bill ratio
represents total order
intake divided by
revenue for the
reporting period.
No direct
equivalent
n/a The book-to-bill metric is widely used
in the energy sector by shareholders
and analysts and is a helpful term for
those evaluating companies within
Subsea/'s industry. Notwithstanding
this, the book-to-bill ratio presented
by the Group may not be
comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other
companies.
