BOURBON: 1st Half 2016 Results

Paris, September 8, 2016

BOURBON 1st Half 2016 Results
In an Offshore services market that reached a low point, BOURBON achieved a solid adjusted EBITDAR, even though it declined 21% compared with the 1st half 2015

  • Operationally, the half year period recorded an exceptional performance in terms of safety         (TRIR of 0.60) and technical availability of the fleet (97.6%)
  • Adjusted EBITDAR reached €228.8 million compared with €290.4 million in 1st half 2015, with a stability of the margin at 38.2% of adjusted revenues compared with 38.3% for the same period a year ago, even as the full time equivalent number of stacked vessels, excluding Crew boats, increased from 18.6 vessels in the 1st half 2015 to 53.6 vessels for the 1st half 2016
  • Adjusted direct costs declined by 22.4%; the cost reduction for vessels in operation and the reduction in general & administrative costs compensated for the increase in total costs for the stacked vessels
  • During the 1st half, the reduction in adjusted revenues, the stability of the depreciation & amortization of the entire fleet, the impact of various non-recurring provisions and the loss on exchange realized in Nigeria, Egypt and Mexico have reduced the adjusted operating profit to             -€24.8 million and the Net Income, Group share to -€104.3 million
  • While BOURBON took delivery of 4 vessels during the 1st half, including the Bourbon Arctic in February 2016, the free cash flow generated in the period remained slightly positive at €6.7 million

"BOURBON is reinforcing its resistance capacity in the bottom of the cycle thanks to the action plan "Stronger for longer" that encompasses operational excellence, cost optimization, cash preservation and an appropriate debt structure", says Jacques de Chateauvieux, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BOURBON Corporation.

"However, we are convinced that the model of tomorrow will not return to that of pre-crisis and we are already preparing new responses to changes seen in the clients' expectations."

(a) Adjusted data:
The adjusted financial information is presented by Activity and by Segment based on the internal reporting system and shows internal segment information used by the principal operating decision maker to manage and measure the performance of BOURBON (IFRS 8). As of January 1, 2015, the internal reporting (and thus the adjusted financial information) records the performance of operational joint ventures on which the group has joint control using the full integration method.


Half year 2016 market and operational highlights

  • The global deepwater PSV market continues to face overcapacity during the prolonged downturn in the oil & gas sector as offshore activity is still significantly affected by the reductions in investments in new and existing projects by oil & gas companies
  • BOURBON is focused on operational excellence in execution:
    • Safety remains a strength at BOURBON, with TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate per million hours worked) of 0.60
    • Strong Technical availability rate of 97.6% in the 1st half of 2016
    • Cost control remains a high priority in order to continuously improve the efficiency of the fleet

Half year 2016 results highlights

  • Continued cost control efforts which included both efficiency gains as well as proactive stacking activity resulted in a reduction in costs (direct costs and G&A) of approximately 21% compared with the same period a year ago
  • The high margin of adjusted EBITDAR as a percent of revenues was stable overall compared with the 1st half 2015

The good resilience of the Crew boat segment and cost reductions of almost 21% compared with the same period a year ago enabled Marine Services activity to maintain a high margin (adjusted EBITDAR/revenues) that was only slightly below the margin for the 1st half 2015. This decrease in costs was due to the proactive stacking of vessels as well as operational efficiency improvements. A slight increase in bareboat charter costs compared with a year ago combined with lower adjusted EBITDAR resulted in the significant decline in both adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBIT.

Global market conditions continue to put downward pressure on the average daily rate and the average utilization rate. Costs were reduced by over 17% in the 1st half of 2016, in line with the reduction in adjusted revenues, while absorbing an increase in the fleet of nearly 13%, thus enabling the Deepwater offshore segment to keep the margin mostly stable versus a year ago. A reduced level of adjusted EBITDAR combined with a slight increase in the bareboat charter costs versus a year ago lead to an adjusted EBITDA reduction of 38.5%

In the context of a very difficult market, BOURBON chose to take further proactive cost reduction measures by stacking additional vessels. Up to 46 vessels were stacked in the 1st half of this year. Therefore, the stable margin (adjusted EBITDAR/revenues) over the past 3 periods reflects the gains in cost control largely offsetting the reductions in adjusted revenues. Fleet availability has reached almost 99% in the 1st half of 2016 due to low maintenance downtime thanks to our modern and reliable fleet of Bourbon Liberty ships.

The margin of adjusted EBITDAR/revenues of Subsea Services activity increased 3.5 points in H1 2016 compared with a year ago due to cost control efforts that more than offset the decline in adjusted revenues during the period as well as the rebound in Subsea activity since the 1st quarter 2016. This is reflected in the 13.8% decline in adjusted EBITDAR while adjusted revenues declined almost 20%. There was a slight increase in bareboat charter costs and stable depreciation and amortization compared with the year ago period which, following a lower level of adjusted EBITDAR, lead to a significant percentage decline in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBIT.

Total Capital Employed 2,975.0 3,068.0
     

Net non-current assets increased slightly due to the delivery of vessels that are not part of the vessel sale and bareboat charter agreements.

At the beginning of December 2014, BOURBON signed an agreement with Minsheng Financial leasing Co. for the sale and retention under bareboat charter of 8 vessels for an overall amount of approximately    $US 202 million. As of December 31, 2015, 5 vessels had been sold for approximately $US 111 million. The 3 remaining vessels to be sold had been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 on December 31, 2015. During the 1st half 2016, it was decided to not sell the remaining 3 vessels delivered at the end of 2015. According to IFRS 5, following the change in the plan to sell those non-current assets, BOURBON ceased to classify those assets as held for sale and reclassified them into tangible fixed assets.

The two primary sources of cash generation for BOURBON are from the vessels in service as a ship operator and the sale of vessels as a ship owner. From these sources of cash, the stakeholders such as banks, government entities and shareholders receive a portion in the form of interest, taxes and dividends. Another use of cash is for investment in assets for the business and required working capital increases. These various uses of cash make the speed of debt reduction less rapid, though still significant.

The free cash flow generated through the combined vessel operator and vessel owner elements of the business has made a significant improvement since the beginning of the vessel sale and bareboat charter program. This enabled movement from a negative free cash flow position in H1 2013 to a strong positive free cash flow of close to €130 million at the end of H1 2015 before the effects of the market downturn has reduced free cash flow, though as a result of BOURBON's resilience, it still remains positive in the 1st half 2016.

OUTLOOK

After the drastic reduction of the level of investments of oil & gas companies over the past couple years, oil producers are now thinking of the future, particularly to maintain their level of production in the medium term. However, the inevitable rebound in activity will take some time to reach Offshore marine services.

For the Deepwater and Shallow water segments, the market will continue to be affected by the overcapacity of vessels but the level of activity should remain stable at the current level.

Crew boat activity should benefit from a slight increase in activity in the producing fields and the decrease in utilization of helicopters for cost reduction reasons.

Subsea activity reached its low point in the 1st quarter 2016 and the improvement in the utilization rate in the 2nd quarter should continue for the following quarters.

BOURBON now anticipates a full year 2016 adjusted revenue reduction in the order of magnitude experienced year on year during the 1st semester and a slight decrease in adjusted EBITDAR/revenues margin. In the 2nd half, BOURBON will take delivery of only 1 crew boat and will generate positive free cash flow.

The rebalanced outlook of supply and demand of oil in 2017 should have a positive effect for BOURBON with its unique, modern and innovative fleet in its 4 segments.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • The accounts for the 1st half of 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee
  • The accounts for the 1st half of 2016 underwent a limited examination by the statutory auditors
  • BOURBON's results will continue to be influenced by the €/US$ exchange rate
