John Evans, Chief Executive Officer, said:

Subsea7 delivered strong growth in profitability in the second quarter of 2025

driven by the solid execution of our portfolio of projects in both Subsea and

Conventional, and Renewables. The Group's Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 370

bps year-on-year to 20.5% in the quarter, putting us on track to achieve our

full year guidance and deliver over 20% growth in EBITDA in 2025 compared with

During the quarter we replenished the backlog with high-quality orders of $2.5

billion, equivalent to 1.4 times book-to-bill, demonstrating the resilience of

our strategy that is focused on long-cycle subsea markets with advantaged

economics, alongside a selective approach to offshore wind. In subsea, tendering

activity remains high, with a balance of greenfield and tie-back prospects for a

diverse range of clients and geographies. In the renewables industry, near-term

momentum is dependent on progress of the UK CFD allocation round, but offshore

wind remains a long-term structural growth market and we are confident that our

selective approach to bidding leaves us well-placed to deliver profitable

growth.

Second quarter project review

In Subsea and Conventional, Seven Arctic and Seven Borealis installed flexibles,

umbilicals and manifolds at Agogo in Angola. Seven Pacific underwent a class

survey after which it transited to Angola where it is expected to work on Agogo

until year end. Seven Vega was active at the CLOV development, also in Angola.

Seven Oceans and Seven Seas continued to work on a range of US projects

including Sunspear, Salamanca and Shenandoah, while in Brazil, Seven Cruzeiro

completed its work at Bacalhau and began its new three-year charter for

Petrobras.

In Norway, Seven Navica continued reel lay activities for Yggdrasil as well as

IRPA while Seven Oceanic began its transit north, following completion of its

campaign at the Scarborough field in Australia.

In Renewables, Seaway Strashnov and Seaway Alfa Lift started work at Dogger Bank

C in the UK where they will install 87 monopiles. Seaway Ventus began work at

the East Anglia THREE project in the UK, where it will install 95 monopiles and

Seaway Aimery and Seaway Moxie installed cables at He Dreiht in Germany.

Second quarter financial review

Revenue was $1.8 billion, marginally better when compared with the prior year

period. Adjusted EBITDA of $360 million equated to a margin of 20.5%, up from

16.8% in Q2 2024.

After depreciation and amortisation of $175 million, other gains and losses of

$32 million driven by non-cash foreign exchange gains, net finance costs of $16

million and taxation of $71 million, net income was $131 million.

Net cash generated from operating activities in the second quarter was $339

million, including a $59 million favourable movement in net working capital. Net

cash used in investing activities was $81 million mainly related to purchases of

property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was $306

million including dividend payments of $184 million and lease payments of $77

million. During the quarter, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $46 million

to $413 million and, at 30 June 2025, net debt was $695 million, including lease

liabilities of $448 million.

Second quarter order intake was $2.5 billion comprising new awards of $2.0

billion and escalations of $0.5 billion resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of

1.4 times. Backlog at the end of June was $11.8 billion, of which $3.6 billion

is expected to be executed in the remainder of 2025, $4.5 billion in 2026 and

$3.7 billion in 2027 and beyond.

Guidance

We continue to anticipate that revenue in 2025 will be between $6.8 billion and

$7.2 billion, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be within a range

from 18% to 20%. Based on our firm backlog of contracts and the prospects in our

tendering pipeline, we expect margins to exceed 20% in 2026.
