John Evans, Chief Executive Officer, said:

Subsea7 delivered a strong performance in the final quarter of 2025, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of $1.5 billion, up 36% on the prior year and driving free cash flow generation of $1.2 billion. We ended the year with a solid balance sheet, with net cash of $21 million, an improvement of $622 million from the prior year end.

Subsea and Conventional achieved its fifth consecutive year of growth with revenue rising by 5% to $5.8 billion in 2025 and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 23%, up from 16% in 2024. Our Renewables business also reported solid results marking a third year of progress, with growth in Adjusted EBITDA of 9% and a margin of 17%, up from 15% last year.

From the low levels of 2020 to the healthy state of the industry in 2025, Subsea7 has benefited from an upcycle in the deepwater market, alongside growth in offshore wind. Against this industry backdrop, our differentiated strategy has enabled us to win high-quality work, achieve optimal execution, and reinforce strong relationships with key clients. We closed the year with an order book approaching $14 billion of high-quality projects, providing excellent visibility on the years ahead and this, along with high tendering activity, support our confidence in the outlook for the Group.

Fourth quarter 2025 vessel utilisation

In the fourth quarter, our fleet remained busy with 89% utilisation of the Subsea and Conventional vessels and 84% utilisation of vessels within Renewables. Seven Vega transited to Türkiye and began installation of pipeline and production lines for the Sakarya Phase 2 project, while Seven Oceans transited to Brazil for Mero 4. Seven Navica completed rigid pipeline installation at Zephryus in the US, while Seven Arctic was active on the Cypro project in Trinidad and Tobago. Seven Borealis and Seven Pacific worked in Angola. Also during the quarter, the final two of four PLSVs commenced new three-year contracts for Petrobras in Brazil.

In Renewables, Seaway Alfa Lift completed the installation of the last transition pieces at Dogger Bank C in the UK, while Seaway Ventus continued installing foundations at East Anglia THREE. In the US, Seaway Airmery completed cable lay at the Revolution project, while in Taiwan Seaway Phoenix continued cable lay at Hai Long and Seaway Strashnov underwent planned maintenance.

Guidance

While regulatory clearance for the proposed merger with Saipem S.p.A. is still in progress, management remains firmly committed to delivering ongoing projects to clients and continuing to secure new high-quality contracts.

With a robust backlog of nearly $14 billion, we have high visibility on anticipated revenue this year of approximately $7.0 to 7.4 billion. We expect our Adjusted EBITDA margin to continue to improve and reach approximately 22% in 2026. With a disciplined approach to reinvestment, we expect capital expenditure of $350 to 380 million in 2026, yielding another year of significant cash generation. Overall, we are confident that the resilience of the energy market, combined with our differentiated offering and our strong track record of delivery, continues to position Subsea7 for success.

Balance Sheet at 31 December 2025

Non-current assets

Non-current assets were $4.9 billion (31 December 2024: $5.2 billion). The decrease of $297 million was largely driven by a $201 million decrease in property, plant and equipment, of which $94 million was recognised within assets included in a disposal group classified as held for sale, and a $91 million decrease in right-of-use assets.

Non-current liabilities

Total non-current liabilities were $0.8 billion (31 December 2024: $1.0 billion). The decrease of $184 million was largely driven by $181 million reclassified to current borrowings in line with repayment schedules.

Net current assets

Current assets were $3.1 billion (31 December 2024: $2.5 billion) and current liabilities were $2.8 billion (31 December 2024: $2.4 billion), resulting in net current assets of $302 million (31 December 2024: $40 million). The increase of $262 million in the period was largely driven by:

  • increase in cash and cash equivalents of $394 million;
  • increase in trade and other receivables of $173 million;
  • assets included as a disposal group classified as held for sale of $165 million, including $121 million reclassified from non-current assets partly offset by:

Capital employed

The Group’s capital employed represented by total assets less current liabilities was $5.2 billion (31 December 2024: $5.2 billion).

Equity

Total equity was $4.4 billion (31 December 2024: $4.3 billion). The movement of $150 million was largely driven by net income of $404 million and net foreign currency translation gains of $103 million, partially offset by dividends of $368 million.

Borrowings, lease liabilities, net cash/(debt), gearing and liquidity at 31 December 2025

Borrowings

The Group’s total borrowings were $584 million (31 December 2024: $722 million). The decrease of $138 million was driven by scheduled repayments.

A summary of the borrowing facilities available to the Group at 31 December 2025 was as follows:

(in $ millions) Total facility Drawn^{(a)} Undrawn Maturity Date
Multi-currency revolving credit and guarantee facility 600.0 600.0 June 2029^{(b)}

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

subsea 7

1. General information

Subsea 7 S.A. is a company registered in Luxembourg whose common shares trade on the Oslo Børs and over-the-counter as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the US. The address of the registered office is 412F, route d'Esch, L-1471 Luxembourg. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2026.

2. Basis of preparation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 for Subsea 7 S.A. have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

No new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) were adopted by the Group for the financial year beginning 1 January 2025. Amendments to existing IFRSs, issued with an effective date of 1 January 2025 but not yet endorsed by the EU, will be adopted by the Group following their adoption by the EU.

4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group's accounting policies which are described in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the period in which the estimate is revised.

Management makes accounting judgements on the following aspects of the business as described in full in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024:

  • Revenue recognition
  • Goodwill carrying amount
  • Property, plant and equipment
  • Recognition of provisions and disclosure of contingent liabilities
  • Taxation

5. Seasonality

A significant portion of the Group's revenue is generated from work performed offshore. During certain periods of the year, the Group may be affected by adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms and rough seas, which may cause delays. In the Northern Hemisphere seasonally adverse weather occurs typically during the period from October to March, whereas in the Southern Hemisphere it typically occurs during the period from May to September. Depending on project execution, each can affect the Group's offshore operations. Periods of adverse weather conditions usually result in low levels of activity.

6. Segment information

For management and reporting purposes, the Group is organised into three business units; Subsea and Conventional, Renewables and Corporate. These business units represent the Group’s operating segments and are defined as follows:

Subsea and Conventional

The Subsea and Conventional business unit includes:

  • subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) activities related to the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of highly complex subsea oil and gas systems in deep waters, including the long-term contracts for PLSVs in Brazil;
  • conventional services including the fabrication, installation, extension and refurbishment of fixed and floating platforms and associated pipelines in shallow water environments;
  • activities associated with the provision of inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) services, integrity management of subsea infrastructure and remote intervention support;
  • activities associated with heavy lifting operations and decommissioning of redundant offshore structures;
  • activities associated with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS); and
  • share of net income of the Group’s associate, OneSubsea.

This segment includes costs, including depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges, related to owned and long-term leased vessels, equipment and offshore personnel deployed in Subsea and Conventional activities.

Renewables

The Renewables business unit comprises activities related to the delivery of fixed offshore wind farm projects and floating wind activities. Activities include the procurement and installation of offshore wind turbine foundations and inter-array cables as well as heavy lifting operations and heavy transportation services for renewables structures. This segment includes costs, including depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges, related to owned and long-term leased vessels, equipment and offshore personnel deployed in Renewables activities.

Corporate

The Corporate business unit includes group-wide activities, and associated costs, including captive insurance activities, operational support, corporate services and costs associated with discrete events such as restructuring. The Corporate business unit also includes the results of the Group’s autonomous subsidiaries, Xodus and 4Subsea, and its activities in emerging energies such as hydrogen. A significant portion of the Corporate business unit’s costs are allocated to the Subsea and Conventional and Renewables business units based on a percentage of external revenue.

7. Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company by the weighted average number of common shares in issue during the period, excluding common shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares. The net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company and share data used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

12. Commitments and contingent liabilities

Commitments

At 31 December 2025, the Group had contractual capital commitments totalling $65.4 million (31 December 2024: $88.4 million).

Contingent liabilities not recognised in the Condensed 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.

The Group's operations in Mexico are subject to tax audits across several years. At 31 December 2025, the amount assessed by the Mexican tax authorities in relation to 2014, including penalties and interest, was MXN 3,639.3 million, equivalent to $202.4 million (31 December 2024: MXN 3,639.3 million, equivalent to $179.2 million). At 31 December 2025, a provision of MXN 283.5 million, equivalent to $15.8 million was recognised within the Consolidated Balance Sheet (31 December 2024: MXN 143.1 million, equivalent to $7.0 million). At 31 December 2025, a contingent liability of MXN 589.4 million, equivalent to $32.8 million (31 December 2024: MXN 589.4 million, equivalent to $29.0 million), has been disclosed related to the 2014 assessment as the disclosure criteria have been met however management and local advisors believe that the likelihood of payment is not probable.

Between 2009 and 2025, the Group's Brazilian businesses were audited and formally assessed for ICMS and federal taxes (including import duty) by the Brazilian state and federal tax authorities. The amount assessed, including penalties and interest, at 31 December 2025 amounted to BRL 966.7 million, equivalent to $174.4 million (31 December 2024: BRL 897.0 million, equivalent to $142.5 million). The Group has challenged these assessments. A contingent liability has been disclosed for the total amounts assessed as the disclosure criteria have been met however management believes that the likelihood of payment is not probable.

Between 2018 and 2025, the Group's Brazilian business received several labour claims. The amount assessed at 31 December 2025 amounted to BRL 155.3 million, equivalent to $28.0 million (31 December 2024: BRL 166.3 million, equivalent to $26.5 million). The Group has challenged these claims. A contingent liability has been disclosed for BRL 121.4 million, equivalent to $21.9 million as the disclosure criteria have been met (31 December 2024: BRL 115.0 million, equivalent to $18.3 million), however, management believes that the likelihood of payment is not probable. At 31 December 2025, a provision of BRL 33.9 million, equivalent to $6.1 million was recognised within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (31 December 2024: BRL 51.3 million, equivalent to $8.2 million), as the IAS 37 'Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets' recognition criteria were met.

Contingent liabilities recognised in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

As part of the accounting for the business combination of Pioneer Lining Technology Limited, IFRS 3 required the Group to recognise a provision in respect of contingent consideration payable to a third party following the acquisition of intangible assets in 2009. Management now consider this previously recognised contingent liability to have expired. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the contingent liability of $0.4 million (31 December 2024: $0.4 million) was derecognised in full and recognised within the Group's Condensed Consolidated Income Statement within other gains and losses.

13. Fair value and financial instruments

The carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements approximate their fair values.

Borrowings

Fair value is determined by matching the maturity profile of amounts utilised under each facility to market interest rates available to the Group for borrowings with similar security, maturity and repayment profiles. At 31 December 2025, 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 significance of 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 asset or liability, either 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 market data (unobservable inputs).

Recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements

Recurring fair value measurements are those 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and their level in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

| At (in $ millions) | 2025

Level 1 | 2025

| Financial liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income – commodity derivatives | – | (3.3) | – | – | (3.0) | – |
| Contingent consideration | – | – | – | – | – | (0.5) |

During the year ended 31 December 2025 there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. The Group accounts for transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy from the date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

In accordance with IFRS 5 ‘Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’, no impairment charges were recognised on the carrying value of assets included in a disposal group classified as held for sale. These assets were measured within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Further details are disclosed in Note 10 ‘Disposal group classified as held for sale’ to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

13. Fair value and financial instruments continued

Fair value techniques and inputs

Financial assets and liabilities mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss comprised:

  • Forward foreign exchange contracts and embedded derivatives

The fair value of outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts and embedded derivatives were calculated using quoted foreign exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contracts.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income comprised:

  • Commodity derivatives in designed hedge accounting relationships

The fair value of outstanding commodity contracts were calculated using quoted commodity rates matching maturities of the contracts.

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and designated as such at initial recognition

The Group’s financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and designated as such at initial recognition comprised:

  • Other financial assets

Strategic financial investments in unlisted companies are disclosed as other financial assets within non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Management concluded that due to the nature of these investments, there are a wide range of possible fair value measurements and in some cases, there may be insufficient recent information available to enable the Group to accurately measure fair value. Management review investments annually to ensure the carrying value can be supported by expected future cash flows and have concluded cost is considered to represent the best estimate of fair value of each investment within a range of possible outcomes.

14. Events after the reporting period

Dividend

At the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2026, the Board of Directors will propose a dividend of NOK 13.00 per share, equating to approximately $400 million, payable in May 2026. The proposed dividend comprises an annual dividend equating to approximately $350 million, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting, and an interim dividend of approximately $50 million which was approved by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2026 and will be ratified at the Annual General Meeting.

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) - definitions

The Group uses Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) when evaluating financial performance, financial position and cash flows which are not defined or specified under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. Management considers that these non-IFRS measures, which are not a substitute for nor superior to IFRS measures, provide stakeholders with additional information to further understand the Group's financial performance, financial position and cash flows.

APM Description Closest equivalent IFRS measure Adjustments to reconcile to primary financial statements Rationale for utilising APM
Income Statement APMs
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation represents net income/(loss) before additional specific items that are considered to impact the comparison 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 Subsea?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

Capital employed Capital employed is defined as total assets less current liabilities. No direct equivalent Calculated as total assets less current liabilities. Capital employed is a relevant metric for shareholders and analysts when evaluating the level of capital employed by the Group to generate income.
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.

subsea7

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. 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 from/(used in) operating activities from 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 Subsea7’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 Subsea7’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.
