* As of January 1, 2019, the Group applies IFRS 16 “Leases” Standard following the modified retrospective transition method. No restatement of 2018 financial statements has been carried out.  

"The results for the half year illustrate our continued efforts to rationalize the fleet and control costs as well as the commitment of all teams to maintain our standards of operational excellence. The market recovery, whilst slow and very gradual, is a reality. However, rigorous management remains essential to ensuring sustainable growth. We remain extremely vigilant and will maintain true discipline in our investment and our contracts choices, while focusing on transforming our model. The initial successes obtained during the half year are encouraging", declared Gaël Bodénès, Chief Executive Officer of BOURBON Corporation.

(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). 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. Furthermore, internal reporting (and again the adjusted financial information) does not take into account IAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies), applicable for the first time in 2017 (retroactively from January, 1) to an operational joint venture in Angola.The reconciliation between the adjusted data and the consolidated data can be found in Appendix I on page 9

1st Half 2019 Financial Results

  • Income statement (adjusted data)

      Adjusted revenue came out at €361.5 million, up 3.5% compared to the previous half year, impacted by a favorable exchange rate (+2.2% increase at constant exchange rates), an improvement in average chartering rates (mainly due to the contribution of Subsea's chartering activities) and an improvement in utilization rates. This last improvement comes, on the one hand, from the disposal and scrapping of non-strategic and unused vessels and on the other, from a slight increase in the number of chartering days.

Operating costs decreased by 2.3% compared to the previous half year, benefiting from the first effects of the Smart shipping program and from a catch-up in the exemption from employer social contributions for European-registered vessels. Excluding this last item, costs would have increased, impacted by the gradual return to service of vessels and Subsea's turnkey projects.

General costs increased by 11.1% mainly due to the costs related to the financial restructuring. However, the implementation of our Smart G&A plan has shown results, enabling us to achieve a recurring general costs/revenue ratio of 15%.

As a result, EBITDAR amounted to €83.2 million, up 15.3% compared to the previous half year.

Adjusted EBIT for the first half year 2019 was €-52.4 million, an improvement of €108.0 million compared to the previous half year, mainly due to the impact of the application of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 and the reduced impairment expense.

Net income, group share stood at -€135.2 million, compared to -€260.7 million for the previous half year.

* No restatement of 2018 financial statements has been carried out following the application of IFRS 16 “Leases”

The application of IFRS 16 Standard ("Leases") on January 1, 2019 had a significant impact on the structure of the balance sheet. Since that date, leases, and specifically bareboat charters, are recognized on the balance sheet (with the exception of contracts under 12 months or concerning low value goods) whereas up to now, only vessels under finance leases were subject to recognition.

At January 1, 2019, the date of the first-time application of IFRS 16, the group recorded a lease liability of €1,083.1 million, representing the discounted amount of lease commitments, offset by non-current right-of-use assets of €866.4 million and a significant decrease in trade payables of €205.6 million which, in particular, recorded unpaid bareboat charters.

Thus, as at June 30, 2019, the net impact of finance leases already recorded in the balance sheet was an increase of €701.3 million in non-current net assets, a decrease in the working capital requirement of €205.6 million and an increase in net debt of €997.9 million.

Shareholders' equity amounted to €52.8 million, down €148.2 million under the impact of the loss recorded during the first half year 2019.

In accordance with IFRS, €1,665 million in borrowings and lease liabilities were classified as current liabilities as at June 30, 2019. These are borrowings and leases for which the payments have been suspended since the start of 2018, some of which have been the subject of calls in guarantee or accelerations since July 2019, as well as other borrowings with "cross default" type clauses that could lead to early redemption.

  • Cash flow (see appendix IV: Simplified Consolidated Cash Flow Statement)  
    • positive cash flows generated by operations were €52.7 million, down slightly by €2.3 million compared to the second half year 2018, despite the increase in activity, under the effect of an unfavorable working capital variation;
    • the sales of 6 vessels (including 3 non-smart and 3 non-strategic vessels) generated €15.1 million over the half year, reflecting the group's continued efforts to rationalize its fleet. The amount of investments, at €-31.3 million, was up by €6 million compared to the previous half year, under the effect of an increase in priority planned dry-dock and vessel reactivations. Cash flows used in investing activities amounted to €-18.4 million;
    • lastly, still reflecting the suspension of debt and lease servicing, cash flows consumed by financing activities amounted to €-58.0 million, of which half is related to the payment of dividends to minority interests.

Consolidated cash was down by €22.5 million over the half year, marked by the following elements:

The group has continued discussions with its creditors, both in France and abroad, during this semester, in order to balance the service of its debt with an expected but gradual recovery in the market and therefore group performance.

However, on August 7, 2019, the Group has announced having obtained from the Court the opening of reorganization proceedings for the holding Bourbon Corporation and sub holding Bourbon Maritime. Bourbon Corporation had requested and obtained the opening of reorganization proceedings further to the guarantees redeemed by Chinese company ICBC Leasing for an initial amount exceeding $800 million, supplemented by an additional claim received on 10 September 2019, bringing the total amount to more than $1.2 billion.

While BOURBON Maritime was subject to a conciliation procedure, the company requested and obtained the opening of reorganization proceedings further to the acceleration by some French creditors of the repayment of their debt, representing an amount of €720 million, as well as contractual interest.This situation raises a material uncertainty with regards to the going concern. The Group has, however, prepared its consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2019 maintaining the going concern assumption given:

- The confidence it has in its ability to meet the necessary conditions for the continuation of its activities

- The confidence it has in the favorable outcome of the reorganization proceedings

- The active search for new financial partners which led to the receipt of a firm financing offer subject to conditions

 -The cash generated by the activity that allows the group to meet its current operating needs during the next 12 months (beside debt financing).

Outlook

Growth in global demand for oil remains low with strong volatility in oil prices, which have, however, remained at an average level of around $50-60/barrel.

In this context of very moderate recovery, oil customers regularly validate new exploration projects and continue to arbitrate in favor of Offshore. Offshore investments even grew in 2019, for the first time since 2014, following productivity gains in drilling and production.

However, oil customers remain cautious and continue to favor projects with short returns on investment. Furthermore, they pay attention to and take a keen interest in new models and working methods, as they aim to provide new productivity gains.

In this environment, BOURBON continues to focus on:

  • the control of its operating and general costs;
  • discipline in its Capex choices, notably in terms of fleet reactivation and in the choice of contracts;
  • deployment of the strategic plan, and notably the development of new services and business models as well as the Smart shipping program;
  • and the restructuring of its debt.

Adjusted EBIT (47.8) (111.5) -57.2% (112.7) -57.6%

The results of the first half year 2019 reflect the gradual recovery of the activity, particularly in Deepwater offshore with an average growth in utilization rates of 6.2 pts. Rates for Shallow water offshore continued to grow slightly, whilst the marked decrease in Deepwater offshore was mainly due to the Arctic fleet exit and contracts renewal at current market prices. Revenue saw a slight increase compared to the second half year 2018, driven by the West Africa (Nigeria and Gabon) and Latin America (Mexico and Brazil) regions. 8 vessels have been reactivated during the semester.

Operating and general costs benefited from the first positive impacts of the deployment of the Smart shipping program and the catch-up in the exemption from employer costs for owners of European-registered vessels.The vessel disposal plan continued, with 5 vessels sold during this half year, in lign with the fleet rationalization strategy.

This half year was marked by slight growth in adjusted revenue of 1.1% compared to the previous half year, with a fleet utilization rate up 1.7 pt to 53.9%, notably driven by Nigeria, which is the country with the strongest growth in West Africa, and despite the contraction of the fleet in operation. Bourbon Mobility accelerated the rationalization of its fleet (around ten vessels scrapped) and its repositioning in growth regions. In parallel, the modernization project for fleet cabins was launched, with the aim of commissioning the first "Business class" cabin mid-2020.

Operating costs were impacted by the continued maintenance and repair efforts for Surfers, but benefited during this half year, as for the other two businesses, from the positive effect of the catch-up of the exemption from employer costs. 8 vessels were reactivated at a regular pace during this half year in accordance with our forecasts.

Adjusted revenue is growing of about 10% compared to previous half year, benefitting of a 3.8 pts improvement of the average utilization rate and a growing average day rates of 8.9%, confirming the slight recovery of the Subsea market. Turnkey projects activity has progressed in Middle East and West Africa with projects of pipelines dismantling in Qatar and Gabon, demonstrating the capacity of engineering Bourbon Subsea Services ‘teams to secure the decommissioning budget of clients. The ROV business (Remote Operated Vehicules) has however been affected by a weaker activity this semester.

Operating and general costs are increasing by 13.4%, impacted by turnkey projects which relies on a large part of external subcontracting

The installation of three 8.3 MW floated wind turbines off Portugal has started at the end of the semester and is pursuing over the second semester, maintaining BOURBON’s positioning as the floating wind turbines installation leader.

Note also that of a non-strategic vessel has been sold during the second quarter 2019.
