ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2011 before adjustment multi-client data library. MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Dear reader, The oil and gas services market, from which we generate the majority of our revenue, declined sharply as our clients further reduced their spending in a continuing low oil price environment. Oil and gas company spending declined by around 25%, a similar decline as in 2015. This negatively impacted work volumes and pricing. Cash generation continues to be our number one priority. We further strengthened market share, adapted our resource and cost base in line with demand, held back on investments and improved working capital. As a result cash flow from operations after investments was positive, also excluding the proceeds from asset disposals, and net debt was significantly reduced. To further strengthen the balance sheet, we successfully placed subordinated convertible bonds in October. Even though we reduced our capacity in line with demand, this could not offset the price erosion in a challenging, oversupplied market. As a result EBIT (excluding exceptional items) declined and we ended 2016 just above breakeven.

This view is supported by gradual results in our building & infrastructure stabilisation of our backlog during the second half of 2016. and power related activities. As a result, further supported by disposals, MEASURES we again generated substantial cash In the second quarter of 2014, at the start of the downturn in flow from operating activities after the oil and gas market, Fugro initiated a programme of investments and significantly reduced measures to reduce cost and to improve profitability and net debt. cash flow. We continued to implement cost reduction measures during 2016, also taking into account that we are likely dealing with a ‘lower for longer’ oil and gas services market. Headcount was further reduced by 1,430 people (12% of total personnel) and the vessel fleet by 5.
