Q2THE SECOND QUARTER BROUGHT A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE
GROUP. WITHIN THE OFFSHORE PART OF THE COMPANY, VIKING SUPPLY SHIPS A/S SHOWS A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT DESPITE OVERALL CHALLENGING MARKET CONDITIONS. AFTER THE END OF THE QUARTER, VIKING SUPPLY SHIPS A/S SIGNED AN EXTENSION WITH ENI NORGE FOR THE CHARTER OF NJORD VIKING. THE RE-STRUCTURING PROCESS OF TRANSATLANTIC IS CONTINUING, BUT DESPITE THIS, THE COMPANY STILL CONTRIBUTED NEGATIVELY IN THE SECOND QUARTER. AT AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING ON 12 JUNE, IT WAS RESOLVED THAT A SO CALLED SUBSEQUENT DIVIDEND OF SEK 0.55 PER SHARE SHOULD BE PAID TO THE SHARE-HOLDERS. FOR THE SECOND QUARTER, PROFIT AFTER TAX FOR THE
The second quarter brought a positive result for the group. Within the offshore part of the company, Viking Supply Ships A/S shows a positive development despite overall challenging market conditions. After the end of the quarter, Viking Supply Ships A/S signed an extension with Eni Norge for the charter of Njord Viking. The restructuring process of TransAtlantic AB is continuing, but despite this, the company contributed with a loss in the second quarter. At an Extraordinary General Meeting on 12 June, a subsequent dividend of SEK 0.55 per share was resolved and paid to the shareholders totaling MSEK 98. For the second quarter, profit after tax for the Group was MSEK 36 (MSEK 34).
Despite reduced revenues, Viking Supply Ships A/S saw increased profit compared to same quarter in 2014. Revenue was negatively impacted by the services segment, as the consultancy contract for Viking Ice Consultancy in the Kara Sea was cancelled. Both rate levels and utilization for the AHTS fleet increased compared to corresponding period in 2014. During the quarter, Tor Viking completed a charter with ENL in Sakhalin and commenced a seasonal contract with Shell US in Alaska. The vessel is expected to return to the North Sea at the end of 2015. After the end of the quarter; VSS extended the contract for Njord Viking. The vessel is now firm till December 31, 2016, with options to extend the contract with 2 x 6 months. The total value of the extended period is about MSEK 270 when including the optional periods.
The PSV market was continuously weak during the second quarter. Despite more vessels being laid up, the market balance is still negative. As a result, both rates and utilization were reduced compared to second quarter in 2014.
The Services and Ship Management segments progressed as planned during the period, with a new seven year contract being signed with the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA). TransAtlantic AB has still been exposed to a challenging market during the second quarter, and further the result in the second quarter was impacted by costs related to the restructuring.
The offshore market in general is expected to remain challenging during 2016 and into 2017. Especially the PSV segment is characterized by oversupply, and fleet reduction is required to regain a healthy market balance. The rig activity in the North Sea is assumed to see a reduction through the remainder of 2015, which is expected to give weak market conditions for both the AHTS and PSV spot fleet.
Viking Supply Ships A/S has secured several contracts during the first half of 2015 within the company's core markets. The estimated value of these new contracts is MSEK 900, or MSEK 1,500 when including the optional periods. The company has also identified additional contract opportunities, and the focus remains to increase the contract coverage.
The market for TransAtlantic AB is expected to remain challenging, but the continued restructuring of this subsidiary is expected to contribute to improved results going forward.

During Q2, four vessels have been operating in the North Sea spot market, while four vessels have been operating on term contracts. During the quarter, Tor Viking completed a charter with ENL in Sakhalin and commenced a seasonal contract with Shell US in Alaska. The vessel is expected to return to the North Sea at the end of 2015.
Extension of current contracts is part of the strategy to focus on long term contracts within core markets. Despite a challenging offshore market, VSS A/S maintains its focus and ambition to increase the term coverage going forward.
The activity in the North Sea remained relatively stable compared to the previous quarter. The spot market improved somewhat through the quarter, but with a few exemptions, fixture rates remained weak.
The total AHTS contract backlog at the end of the quarter was MSEK 2,127 and represents 50% of the 2015 vessel capacity, 47% of the 2016 vessel capacity and 35% of the 2017 vessel capacity. The calculations include firm periods and options (corrected for the extension of Njord Viking).

Total PSV revenue was MSEK 5 (50) in Q2. Total EBITDA was MSEK -43 (5).
During Q2, all five vessels were trading in the North Sea spot market. Despite increased number of vessels being laid-up, the market has not improved. Both rates and utilization have been weak for the quarter.
The market for PSVs has weakened globally and as a result the market for term contracts is challenging. VSS A/S has a clear ambition to increase the term coverage going forward.
The total PSV contract backlog at the end of the quarter was MSEK 0.
| Q2 | FIXTURE RATE (GBP) | UTILIZATION (%) |
|---|---|---|
| PSV vessels on term charters | N/A (11,220) | N/A (100) |

| Total PSV fleet | 2,650 (10,360) | 22 (82) |
Figures in above tables are basis June 30, 2015.
Total Services and Ship Management revenue was MSEK 30 (114) in Q2. Total EBITDA was MSEK -2 (15).
Viking Ice Consultancy (VIC) is seeking opportunities for consulting work. Despite reduced Exploration & Production budgets from many oil operators, VIC has identified several potential clients for future consultancy projects within Ice management and marine operations. VIC is currently pursuing these opportunities with an ambition to secure work for the coming seasons.
The announced contract with SMA is considered to be strategically important for VSS A/S, and further confirms the company's position as one of the world's leading operators of ice-breakers and offshore vessels designed for arctic and harsh environments.
The previous business area Industrial Shipping, now referred to as a subsidiary, changed name to TransAtlantic AB in 2014.
The subsidiary TransAtlantic AB recorded revenues of MSEK 239 (336) in Q2. EBITDA was MSEK -13 (-3).
TransAtlantic AB has during the second quarter 2015 been exposed to continued weak market conditions within the geographic area where the main operations are conducted. The reduction in revenues is mainly related to the reduced RoRo business. EBITDA was below the second quarter last year, mainly related to the ongoing restructuring of two RoRo vessels where full impact of cost reductions will be achieved at year end. The result of the container business improved during the second quarter compared to last year, where the main contributor is the closure of TransPal Line. Cost savings related to the adjustment of the land organization is still positively contributing to the profitability.
Viking Supply Ships AB is a limited liability company registered in Sweden, with its domicile in Gothenburg, and corporate registration number 556161-0113. Viking Supply Ships AB is listed on the Small Cap list of the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm under the ticker VSSAB.
At the end of the period, the Group's equity amounted to MSEK 1,945 (equivalent to 11.0 SEK/share). Equity declined during the quarter by net MSEK 97 due to the declared dividend of MSEK 98 and the loss for the half year period of MSEK -35 and a positive change in the translation reserve of MSEK 36 attributable to currency differences on net investments in subsidiaries.
Gross investments during the quarter amounted to MSEK 132 (189) mainly related to dockings and the increase in financial assets related to cash which during the quarter has been deposited as additional pledge for ship loans (for further information see note 3). The sale of the small bulk vessel TransForte was concluded in February 2015. The transaction brought positive cash effects of net MSEK 3 in first quarter after repayment of related ship loans.

The vessels owned by the Group are primarily financed through bank loans with pledge in the vessels. Further securities have been given in the form of pledge in revenue and insurance policies. The total interest-bearing debt at the end of the quarter was MSEK 2,612 (2,771).
The interest bearing liabilities are associated with financial covenants, according to which the Group must fulfil certain key ratios. At the balance date all covenants were in compliance.
Further, the interest bearing liabilities are also associated with loan clauses, such as contract coverage clauses and loan-to-value clauses, according to which the Group must fulfil certain levels of contract coverage and loan-to-value, pursuant to the individual loan agreements. If these levels are not met, then the Group must deposit additional security, according to the terms in the relevant loan agreements. Any such amount in deposit will vary up and down and the variation is dependent upon currency exchange rates, amortizations under the loan and vessel valuations.
If the levels of contract coverage and loan-to-value, pursuant to the terms in the individual loan agreements, yet again are met then the obligation of providing additional security will cease. At the balance date the Group had provided the lenders with in total MUSD 12.6 in additional security.
After the balance date, the Group entered into dialog with lenders regarding the loan-to-value clauses in the loan agreement for two of the AHTS vessels and the loan agreement for the PSV-fleet, respectively. Based on the current situation determining the net adjustment of required additional security, the lenders have accepted to release MUSD 3.3 of the deposited additional security. Hence, at reporting date a net total of MUSD 9.3 is deposited as additional security.
In March 2012 the Group issued a 5 year senior unsecured bond loan in the Norwegian capital market, with maturity in March 2017, totaling MNOK 300. The bond agreement has a limit of MNOK 750. The net proceeds from the bond shall be employed for investments, capital expenditures related to fleet expansion and general corporate purposes. The bond was listed on Nordic ABM in Oslo on 28th June, 2012. In March 2013 an additional MNOK 85 was drawn in a tap issue. As at balance date the Group is holding nominal MNOK 189 of this bond, consequently MNOK 196 is outstanding.
The Group has 43% (28) of its interest bearing debt in USD, 19% (14) in GBP, 1% (3) in EUR and 37% (55) in NOK. The Group has 86% (90) of the total loan portfolio swapped into fixed interest rates within the interval of 90 days up to three years and 10% (10) of the total loan portfolio swapped into fixed interest rates for more than 3 years. The remaining part is fully exposed to floating market rates.

The Group operates in highly competitive markets and is exposed to various operational and financial risk factors. The financial risk is mainly related to liquidity risk, funding risk and currency risk. The main operational risk factors relates to the overall macroeconomic market conditions, degree of competition, flow of goods in prioritized market segments and finally the overall balance of supply and demand of vessels, affecting rates and profit margins. The objective of the overall risk management policy of the Group is to ensure a balanced risk and return relationship.
The market for Offshore operations is in a high degree dependent on the investment level in the oil industry which in turn is driven by the oil price development on the global market. The refinancing of the loans that have been completed in 2014 within the Group has ensured a long term financing structure. The political situation in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia have indirectly affected the Group through the earlier published contract cancellations. It is difficult to assess the long term impact of these sanctions. The Group is carefully monitoring the development to protect its interests in the region. The business activities in the TransAtlantic AB segment operate in a market with negative growth and competitive profit margins.
The group is exposed to changes in the freight rates. To mitigate this operational risk, the Group has a clear focus on increasing the number of vessels on term contracts within the Offshore operations.
The general situation for the Group is that taxes payable are limited to foreign entities. Accordingly, recognized corporate tax mainly comprises deferred tax.

The recognized net deferred tax asset for the Swedish operations amounted by the end of the period to MSEK 40 (40 on Dec 31, 2014). The recognized deferred tax liability for the operations outside Sweden amounted to MSEK 14 (16 on Dec 31, 2014).
Kistefos has, through a consultancy agreement, made management and financial services available to the Group, for which compensation has been paid to a total of MSEK 0.3 for the first half of 2015. Apart from this, there were no other significant transactions with closely related parties.

VSS A/S has as of Q3 2011 been built through Groupinternal transfers of vessels and operations at then current market prices, which is why differences in acquisition values have arisen.
