  • Renewables Investor Day 2020 Q&A Transcript
    Renewables Investor Day 2020 Q&A Transcript First part of Q&A session Michael Alsford, Citi: Hey there, good afternoon, thanks for the presentation. Firstly, your positive outlook on market potential is similar to ours actually for offshore wind, but could you talk a bit more about the capacity of the organisation to conduct the large and more complex project scopes, as you say, the balance of plant or the integrated model, for example, could you do two Seagreen type of projects at the same time? How many integrated type projects could you do? What are the physical and operational limitations currently on the organisation? And then secondly more specifically on the fleet. I guess can you talk a little bit more about the flexibility to shift more vessel capacity to offshore wind and what the capex may be for that? Thanks John Evans, CEO Subsea 7: I will try to answer your questions, I may ask Steph to chip in but I will start off. I guess, for us I think the message that Steph gave is that we believe that in due course there will be more larger projects in a EPCI configuration and in an integrated configuration. With the way we are structured, we have engineering capabilities and supply chain capability that we can switch between oil and gas and renewables. The vessels in this market (and we will talk about that a bit more in the second half of today’s presentations) more ability to sub-contract and I’ll ask Steph to talk a little bit about sub-contracting in a moment, so sub-contracting is an opportunity for us.

Annual Report 2019 42 Subsea 7 S.A. Annual Report 2019 STRATEGIC REPORT STRATEGIC REPORT Management Report for Subsea 7 Group (the Group) Financial highlights For the year ended 31 December 2019 revenue was $3.7 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion or 10% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $631 million (2018: $669 million) and Adjusted EBITDA percentage margin was 17% in 2019 compared with 16% in 2018. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in 2019 continued to reflect lower pricing on projects awarded during the downturn within the SURF and Conventional business unit, and significantly lower activity levels in the Renewables and Heavy Lifting business unit following the completion of the Beatrice wind farm project. Net operating loss was $23 million, which included a goodwill impairment charge of $100 million recognised in the Renewables and Heavy Lifting business unit, reflecting the impact of the competitive wind turbine foundations market in the short to medium term. Net loss for the year was $82 million. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge net income was $18 million. Adjusted GOVERNANCE diluted earnings per share, which excludes the goodwill impairment charge was $0.05 in 2019 compared to $0.56 in the prior year. During 2019, Subsea 7 delivered solid operational results, continued to progress orders awarded at lower prices during the downturn and commenced work on projects with more favourable terms. The outlook for SURF and Conventional improved, with the level of tendering increasing year-on-year and pricing recovering gradually.
