BOURBON - Press Release : First Half 2014 results

Paris, September 3, 2014

BOURBON First Half 2014: Strong cost control helps offset weak Dollar

Adjusted revenues up 8.9% at constant rates, reflecting an increase in the size of the fleet, despite a lower utilization rate (adjusted revenues increased 1.5% at current rates) Adjusted EBITDAR as a percentage of adjusted revenues, remained at a stable level of 34.4% following good cost control over the periodAdjusted EBIT decreased more than 50% largely due to €41.8 million increase in bareboat charter costs year on year, not fully offset by capital gains Positive free cash flow of almost €250 million enabled further debt reduction for a total of €556 million since June 30, 2013H1 2014H1 2013Var.

"Offshore markets during the first half of 2014 were affected by a slowdown in activity, partly due to cost reductions by oil & gas companies and delays on some projects", says Christian Lefèvre, Chief Executive Officer of BOURBON. "BOURBON showed strong improvement in cost control while taking delivery of 23 vessels during the period, bringing the total number of vessels under operation to 500 offshore supply vessels."

a) see appendix I for details
Consolidated results for the 1st half of 2014 were established for the first time according to the new accounting standards IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 27 amended and IAS 28 amended relating to consolidation which became mandatory as of January 1, 2014. Specifically, joint ventures on which BOURBON has joint control are now consolidated using the equity method which replaces the proportionate consolidation method. Comparative figures are restated accordingly.

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). The principles of internal reporting do not reflect the application of the new IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 27 amended and IAS 28 amended. Consequently, joint ventures are still proportionately consolidated, as in previous years.

Half year 2014 market and operational highlights

A high, stable oil price enabled continued investment in offshore activity by oil majors and national oil companies while cost reduction objectives and some project delays have slowed the demand for offshore vesselsThe global deepwater PSV fleet is facing overcapacity due to the high number of deliveries of new vessels coming from shipyardsBOURBON is focused on operational excellence in execution:Safety remains a strength at BOURBON, with TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate per million hours worked) of 0.61 Technical availability of 95.2% in the first half of 2014 follows the strong performance in 2013 of 94.5% BOURBON is continuing its focus on cost control through its standardization policy Utilization rates excluding crewboats historically have been within an 87%-92% tunnel, in line with long-term expectations; during the 1st half of 2014, the performance was in the lower part of this range

Half year 2014 results/additional highlights

EBITDAR as a percent of revenues, compared with the 1st half 2013, showed improvements in Shallow water and Subsea and stable performance in Deepwater, reflecting strong cost control overall despite high level of vessel deliveries and the negative impact of foreign exchange ratesA decline in activity in the crewboat segment in West Africa had an impact on average utilization rates versus 1st half 2013 and on EBITDARevenues were mixed across regions compared with the first half of 2013, with Asia increasing 25% primarily due to the addition of new and larger vessels to the fleet , Americas down 5%, Europe & Mediterranean/Middle East and West Africa stableAverage daily rates increased in most segments compared with the 1st half of 2013 with delivery of larger or high end vessels in all segments and in the shallow water segment rates remained stable while increasing the fleet by 23%

Revenues increased 3%, a result which was impacted by the foreign exchange rates during the 1st half 2014. BOURBON continued its current investment program, adding a significant number of vessels during a softening market. The reduction in EBIT was a combined result of the higher level of bareboat charter costs and the addition of provision for dry docks for these vessels.

The 1st half of 2014 saw the delivery of the new mid size deepwater PSV Bourbon Explorer with excellent feedback from customers. While the revenues were impacted by lower average utilization rates and underperforming technical availability on one side and the exchange rate on the other side, the cost control performance resulted in a stable EBITDAR margin of 38.8 %.
Deepwater segment remains a strong contributor to BOURBON cash generation, in a market where the impact of the large size PSV oversupply still has to be evaluated.

With 23% fleet growth and stable day rates compared to H1 2013, Shallow water revenues grow by 15,6% reflecting the impact of the weak dollar compared to the Euro.
Cost control and operational excellence lead to a cost increase limited to 11.3% which account for the good EBITDAR performance of €69.3 million, a 25.4% increase compared to last year. The increasing number of bareboated vessels have impacted, as expected, the EBITDA generation standing at €53.5 million, a 3.1% decrease compared with H1 2013.

Despite an increase in the size of the fleet, the softer conditions in certain countries in the West Africa region contributed to the utilization rate dropping by 5 point and in combination with a weaker dollar, revenues declined by 5.5% also directly impacting the level of EBITDAR.

Since last year, 2 vessels were transferred from Subsea Services to Marine Services and one has been sold, while two large Bourbon Evolution IMR vessels joined the fleet. Operationnal performance was stable, resulting in a good level of revenues, exchange rates permitting.
Good cost control within the activity lead to an improved EBITDAR margin. Capital gains on vessel sales and bareboat charter back more than offset the increase in bareboat charter costs, leading to strong EBITDA generation.
The market favors cost competitive solutions from IMR vessels, which translates into good demand for the new series of Bourbon Evolution still to be delivered.

Using chartered vessels has two advantages for BOURBON: it makes it possible to meet client demands and generate contracts while new vessels are being built and added to the fleet. Using chartered vessels also enables BOURBON to offer vessels that are not part of its regular line of services when needed for global calls for tenders. Volatility of "Other" revenues is largely due to the variation in the number of chartered vessels during the period.

Consolidated Capital Employed6/30/201412/31/2013In millions of euros Net non-current Assets 2,615.5 2,554.7 Assets held for sale 244.2 498.5 Working Capital 250.7 198.9 Total Capital Employed3,110.43,252.1 Shareholders equity 1,426.1 1,484.8 Non-current liabilities (provisions and deferred taxes) 89.7 65.3 Net debt 1,594.6 1,702.0 Total Capital Employed3,110.43,252.1

Net non-current assets increased due to the delivery of vessels that are not part of the vessel sale and bareboat charter agreements. Meanwhile, the decrease in assets held for sale reflects the continued progress of delivering vessels to ICBCL during the 1st Half of 2014.

The reduction in gearing ratio (net debt/shareholders equity) since December 31, 2013 was relatively small, due to the payment of the dividend. The more significant reduction in this ratio is seen when comparing to the end of June 2013, when vessel sale proceeds began to impact net debt. This reduction was significant with a 27% reduction in the ratio from 1.53 to the current level of 1.12. thanks to total  proceeds from the disposal of vessels of $US1.3 billion.

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 the continued high level of 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, moving from a negative free cash flow position in H1 2013 to a strong positive free cash flow of close to €250 million at the end of H1 2014. This has enabled BOURBON to reduce its net debt significantly over this period.

OUTLOOK
Despite a stable level of oil prices for the past several years, oil & gas companies are expected to continue their cost reduction efforts and to be more selective in their investment decisions and more focused on existing well production. In addition, there is some uncertainty on the timeframe to execute projects.

On the other hand, the rig count is expected to continue to increase. Only a portion of the approximately 200 rigs under construction will be replacing older rigs, which is favorable for the demand of offshore vessels (OSV). A high contractor backlog through 2016 could also have a positive impact on demand for OSVs. On average, we anticipate a stable demand for offshore support vessels.

On the supply side, the high number of large PSVs coming out of the shipyards could negatively affect the spot market. This should have only a small impact on BOURBON, taking into account the high contractualization rate of its PSVs.

BOURBON is focusing on service execution with a strong commitment to cost reduction, thanks to the standardized fleet of 500 vessels.
