Prosafe Se

Hello everyone and welcome to this Q4 2025 results presentation for ProSafe. My name is Reece McNeil and I am the CEO. I'd like to just highlight here to start off, you know, where we are. You know, ProSafe, we're the largest operator in the accommodation market. I think we have a very strong high-end fleet of five units, the leading position in Brazil. I think there's very strong market fundamentals, and today I want to spend a little bit more time on talking about the market that we're in, and we have a really strong focus, particularly the last quarters, on cost and improving our strategic position. Coming back a little bit to Q4, I was very happy with the Q4 results. I think Q4, if I look back, To get to the EBITDA that we had in Q4, we have to go back to 2022. So I think it was one of the strongest quarters we've had in many years. It's also a quarter where we had all five of our rigs operating and all five of our rigs earning. Again, we got to go back quite a while since we've seen that. And I think that's a reflection of how strong the market is. Also had a very strong operating performance with 100% fleet utilization, so basically essentially no downtime. So really strong operations and also good safety performance. A little bit on the marketing side, very important, of course, as well. We did sign an LOI for the Caledonia for 2027. Very happy about that. I think it's part and parcel of that LOI. Also, we have agreed to an upfront payment structure, so I think that's also going to be beneficial for us. And, of course, we're looking for additional work for the Caledonia to fill the gap, but very happy that we were able to secure something for the Caledonia. When we come to sort of CapEx and looking at CapEx going forward, we did move the SPSS, which we had originally planned in 2025. They have now been moved into 2026 and actually will be starting those SPSS here very shortly in the coming the coming weeks. And that is both for the safe Zephyrus and the safe notice. I'll let Halton talk a little bit more about the financials when we come to that, and I will go through on the next few slides a little bit more in depth on how I see the market and maybe what our strategic focus is. Again, largest operator of the offshore accommodation. Where are our units today? Three in Brazil, one in Australia, and the Caledonia, which we just demobilized. She was off contract on the 22nd. We're very happy with that. We actually got all the options exercise, which we had on that contract. It was originally a six month contract with three months options. We got all the options exercise. We're very happy about that and really safe and well. She performed extremely well on this contract, but she has now been demobilized and will is laid up in SCAPA flow. Looking a little bit at the backlog picture, you'll see this last year we did successfully extend the safe notice. She will go on to her new contract from the 1st of September. One thing that we're actually very happy about there is that we have been able to organize it such that during this SPS period, we will also do any contract modifications that need to be done. So we do not need to bring the rig in between the two contracts. That is something that we often see in Brazil is that you need to go in between contracts. But we will avoid that. We will do all this work now. in this SPS period, and she will be on the newer day rate of close to 140,000 a day from 1st of September. Safe Bereas. Also very pleased we got to Australia. We got there on time. Client was not quite ready for us. So we have actually agreed with the client that the 15-month firm period for Breas will only start when she has the gangway down. And the gangway is not down yet, although we're expecting that quite soon now. So in essence, we have gained a little bit more fixed term on that that various contract. Caledonia, as I mentioned, the LOI, let's see if we can fill the space. There are some opportunities out there, but I would I would categorize this as cautiously optimistic, just given kind of the time where we are already for 2026. A lot of clients have already locked in their work programs for summer of 26 years. A very key strategic focus for us in the coming months, and I think if those who are following us, you will know that I have said many times that I think H1 is going to be the time frame when I think we will know more about the safe Zephyrus and the safe Eurus. I'm still very much there. They're running off contract in April, May 27, and then in the fall of 27, Petrobras has been very clear that they wish to extend the units that are rolling off, not only ours, but others extend or recontract. So we are expecting to see some tender activity, but I'll come on to that. There's also opportunities with other providers in Brazil, and I think one of our key competitors also has demonstrated that by putting together good work from other players in Brazil. A little bit more on the market. Again, I very much like where we are. We are very much a late cycle provider. We're very much focused on the brownfield and very much focused on maintenance to FPSOs. We do do some hookup work. That's why it's here 20%. A good example of that is Boreas. She's doing actually a hookup job. She's not doing a maintenance job. But the three in Brazil and Caledonia, they were all in this category, I would say, of of operations, maintenance, tieback, you know, doing this type of life extension type work. And I think, you know, I'll touch a little bit on that, but I think with the increasing number of FPSOs and increasing number of on-water assets, I think there's strong demands in that area. Some may be familiar with this slide. This is a bit, you know, how we look at the market and where rigs are positioned. The market hasn't grown in the last quarter. From our perspective, it's still sitting at 31. There are a couple of these heavy lift units which are on their way. They won't work in Brazil, so they're on their way. So there might be some shifting where the assets are located. But generally, the market has been flat. And again, you see that South America, and that's largely Brazil, is the main market for these assets. We continue to have a leading position with largest player, one of the largest players in this market. And I continue to believe a firm believer that this is a market which needs to which would significantly would need to and would significantly benefit from consolidation. All of all of all the players here, we all we're all sitting on, you know, 15, 20 million of SG&A alone. So I think there would be a strong benefit. So I think as the market improves, that's something that we've been quite vocal about, that we continue to focus and see what kind of opportunities may be out there to play a role in that consolidation. Demand and supply. I think demand is actually at a 10-year high in this market. We've got to go back to the last peak before we can see where the demand is. You see that on the graph. here on the side there. When we looked at the higher-end units, we're close to 90% utilization, so there's very little supply available. When I'm talking about high-end units, I'm talking about DP3 semi-submersible vessels. I think maybe some here in Norway will have heard the news that there's a proposal to do walk to work on FPSO in Norway. That was rejected by the unions, but there is actually no available DP3 Norwegian compliant rig to actually do that work in 26. So the market is very tight. Also recent tender out in Brazil for this summer and also if they want the high end unit, there's actually no supply readily available. So I'm very positive about the market and that is actually flowing through into higher and higher day rates. So our safe notice is on 75,000 a day. That was a contract obviously entered into four years ago. New contracts 140. Latest done is actually 150. And we actually see, you know, in the North Sea, of course, for a shorter, not a four year contract, a shorter contract. We see rates going above now the 200 level. So, again, we've got to go back quite a bit of time before we have seen those rate those rate levels. And I listed out here also on the side of the slide a little bit because, you know, a lot of people ask me, they say, but, you know, you're you're solely dependent on on Petrobras in Brazil. I said, well, we are working a lot for Petrobras, but actually there is quite a lot of other work now in Brazil as well. So I listed out some of the names, but I think, you know, Prio has been using Brava. I think you see some of these announcements from our competitors. SVM, MODEX, I think there's many of the players in Brazil, large FPSO operators, who are now also using accommodation. And I think this trend is definitely going to continue. It's a trend which we have seen and actually recently even is picking up. West Africa, we also see quite a few opportunities. Rigs going to Nigeria. We even see some opportunities in the Mediterranean. There's a worry rig working in Libya. There's one working in Israel. So I think the market has more depth than just Brazil. And I think there is also more demand out there than simply Petrobras. So I'm very optimistic on the market. I think we will continue to see day rates, solid day rates here going forward into the next couple of years. And just again to reiterate, that's a similar rate trend. It's not only Brazil where we see rates going up, but we see the same in the rest of the world. And if I look at even the latest done in the last quarter, we haven't seen any sign of this trend sort of lagging. In fact, it continues to be very strong. I'd like to talk a little bit about kind of the operations. I mentioned some of that already before. 100% utilization in Q4. I think that was a great, great achievement to get all the rigs working again. If I rolled back to when I joined, we'd had a couple of rigs still sitting idle. I think we've cleaned up the fleet. We've sold some of the assets. We've got all the rigs back working. So I think really good achievement from everybody. And if I look into Q1, I think the biggest impact that you see there on the line chart here, the biggest impact here is obviously we are taking rigs to SPS. We've got two rigs that have a bit of time out, and the Caledonia is obviously rolling off. So we will see a little bit lower utilization with the Caledonia coming off and also with the rigs working, with the rigs out on SPS. Yeah, on the SPS, you have 40 days for Zephyrus, 50 days for Notis. Doing a little bit more work than simply an SPS. Some people ask me, oh, do you need that much time to do only the special survey? Well, actually, we are using this opportunity as well to do modifications that are required for the new contract, but also to do some exchange and overhaul some thrusters. The rigs are approaching the 10-year mark, so there is a need actually to do a little bit more maintenance, and this is the ideal opportunity. Backlog, probably no surprise when you see the high utilization backlog also at close to a 10-year high. And I think, again, the Caledonia LOI, very happy with that. And I think our focus really in the coming quarter, as I mentioned, is very much on EURUS and Zephyrus extensions. That's really the key going forward here and to successfully execute, of course, these SPSs. So with that, I'll hand over to Holton, who will talk you through a few of the financials.

Okay. Thank you. Great to be here. As Rhys mentioned, EBITDA in the quarter has been fantastic, one of the best we've had in a while, almost tripled year over year. You'll see a significant increase in charter income. This is mostly due to the fantastic utilization we've had and the barriers on full rate from 15th of December. Other income of 20 million, this is largely cost reimbursement that's coming from out of the Burris contract in Australia and we expect kind of a limited EBITDA margin contribution from that going forward. No real surprises on the income statement, significant step up in net profit in the quarter, 5.3 million, kind of the important parts here. Interest expense, this reflects the full interest expense, including the pick interest. So you'll see that on the next slide, the actual cash interest is slightly lower. The full year 2025 includes a significant portion of the recapitalization gain. Other than that, again, just a fantastic quarter on the income side. Now moving on to the most important part, the cash flow. CapEx of $9 million. This is mostly related to the tail end of the Boreas contract and the start up of the SafeZephyrus SPS. The large shift in working capital here is very natural with the beginning of the safe barriers contract and we do expect kind of looking forward into 2026. Of course, we see that there's a large negative shift here, but we expect a lot of this to be recouped during 2026 and will have a significantly positive impact for the year. Cash position of 65.3 million. I think the important thing is here that we feel very comfortable that we are well covered on our liquidity to go into these two SPSs and for all our projects going forward. Strength and balance sheet, of course, we do see that we are in the best position that we have been for a while. As I said, liquidity that we feel very comfortable with going forward. Significant reduction, even just quarter over quarter in net debt to EBITDA. Of course, this is largely due to the step up in EBITDA. We would also like to see both sides of the fraction decrease on this. And yeah, much better equity ratio. In terms of capital structure, no real changes. The only thing is we've repaid a small portion of the Euro seller's credit and we've added on the PIC interest for the senior secured facility. And we currently are paying that as PIC interest and we'll continue to do so as long as we feel the need to. Worth mentioning here, currently the way this is structured, the whole debt stack is due in August 2028 at the same time as the EURUS facility. There is an option to push this out if the EURUS facility can get extended. The main tranche of 233 million can be pushed out until latest 31st of December 2029. Now we talked a little bit about where we are and where we've come from, going into where we'd like to go. 40 million of EBITDA in the year. Of course, as those of you who follow the company will know, we are still working on some legacy rates, specifically for the EURUS and the NOTUS. We see that the step up on these, the NOTUS will have that step up expected around September onwards. But of course, for the EURUS and even the Zephyrus, this will be a massive increase. So we see that the potential on these new contracts should be able to bring us to around 90 to 100 million of EBITDA, which on our current debt stack would bring us from around six to closer to two. And of course, this is just on the increase in EBITDA. Of course, as a company, we'd like to get to the point where we can start to deleverage our balance sheet as well and bring both sides down. Talking a little bit about asset values, I think you can pretty comfortably say that if we start at replacement cost, There's not going to be any, I mean, I can't say for certainty, but looking at the value and looking at the cost, there's not going to be any new builds of these kind of vessels anytime soon. The market, we're very comfortable in saying the market would have to have a substantial rate increase for people to even start considering it. In terms of broker valuations, we even feel that is significantly above where the market is today. So we do feel that in terms of asset valuation, we do have some room to grow. Now, to give you a little bit about our thoughts for the future, here is Reece.

I think you'll hope that I'll wrap it up here a little bit, and then I think there's also some questions that I have received. So I think a little bit on the outlook and the guidance. We gave guidance last year, 35 to 40 million of EBITDA. We ended up in the high range of that guidance, again, driven largely by the fact that we had all the units working and working well. Looking into 2026, we've given quite a large guidance range, 45 to 55 on the EBITDA, We do expect, obviously, an improvement of earnings. We'll have Boreas on contract throughout the full year, and we will also have the notice rolling on to a new contract. So we do expect a little bit of an uptick in that. And as Halvdan said, we expect a pretty strong improvement in working capital. We had, obviously, the ramp-up of Boreas in the fall, and we had some of the SPS costs, which we took in. Also in the fall, which which had a negative working capital impact. But we're going to see a positive working capital impact throughout 2026. So all in all, I think we'll see an improvement in 2026. And the real key focus for me looking ahead is very much on to the new contracts and what we can secure with Eurus and Zephyrus contracts. So with that, I'll end the formal part of the presentation. I do have a few questions which I have received, so I will read them out here to the to the audience and then answer some of them to the best that I can. One of the questions was a question regarding Nova and Vega. I think we've talked about Nova Nagel several times. These are two rigs which were actually built in 2015-2016 by Axis Offshore and acquired by ProSafe. They're actually the last two remaining semi-submersible Accommodation rigs, if you will, are specifically built for accommodation. I had the luxury of actually going on board a few weeks ago. They do actually look very nice. The takeout delivery price plus the cost to... Obviously, they've been sitting there for 10 years, so you need to spend some money to take care of obsolescence. And then you would also need to mobilize them to a location. Most likely would be Brazil or West Africa. So our sort of take is if you added up that delivery price plus all that, you're probably in the range of $230 to $250 million for each rig. It's probably not a lot of science behind if you look at sort of our EV per rig. We're probably more like 80-ish, 90-ish, depending a bit on which rig you're talking about. Broker value is around 100, 130, 150. So clearly... The sort of takeout delivery price or the all-in price for these rigs is quite high relative to where things are trading. We have had a consistent dialogue with the yard, and we continue to have that to see if we can find an amicable solution to get us into a position to take delivery of these rigs. We've continued to market them, so we have bid them in all the last tenders. But I think the key to sort of unlocking this is, of course, to see a continued improvement in the market. But we probably also need to to come to we need to come to some kind of a structure with the yard, which we which we haven't to date. So hopefully that gives a little bit of color on Nova and Vega. Pop back to a couple of the questions here. Yeah, another question was, give a little bit more color on Safe Caledonia and our plans. The way that I see Safe Caledonia is very much sort of, if we have work for her, that's great. We keep her in the fleet. She's actually a pretty old vessel. She's 40 years old. So I like to make a joke that she's older than probably many of the guys in our office. But she was... She had a significant renewal program in 2012. Well over $100 million was put into her then. So she's actually a very nice rig. I've had the fortune to be on board a few times. And I think what we saw now with her performance for Ithaca was really strong. She had really good connectivity, even through a large part of the winter. And I think the client was extremely happy with the unit and her performance. you know, on the back of that, we want a new contract in 27. And as I mentioned, Ithaca is actually funding or pre funding, you know, subject to us signing the final contract, which we expect now in key one, you know, they will actually be funding a lot of that upfront. So in essence, you know, we are not putting in a lot of our capital to keep her to keep her there and to keep her well ready for 2027. So So for me, that's a perfect situation. We're not having to necessarily put out money. We've got a good contract for her. And we actually see now in 26 that she was one of our better earners. So I'm actually a bit more optimistic on Kelly than I was if I rolled myself back a couple of years. And I also see that in the in the in the UK market, there is work actually coming up. So, you know, I'm relatively optimistic, but we are very much taking this year by year. We've got a job for twenty seven. basically got it funded through 26, and we'll take a view. We'll try to find her some work in 28 or 29, but she's obviously not an asset that we are going to take a ton of risk on, if you want to put it like that. But I think there's a good mark at the moment. I think we can actually keep her quite busy. The final question I saw popping in was with regards to my belief in... FPSOs and the need for these units to supply FPSOs, the continuing need, and a bit more color on that. And I guess, you know, again, I've had the luxury and the opportunity to actually be offshore in Brazil on several of our units and the opportunity to actually see some of the FPSOs we're working against. And I think, you know, the corrosion level in Brazil, we talked to some of our clients, they talk about four to five times the corrosion level that you would see in the North Sea. These units need a lot of maintenance, whether it's Petrobras units or MODEC units or SPM units or any of them. There's a big maintenance need. And I think we have also seen actually ANP, the regulator in Brazil, also shutting down some units. If we look at Peregrino, it was actually shut in by the regulator with a need for maintenance. You know, what we're hearing from our clients is that they need the maintenance. And also what we are seeing is, again, as I mentioned, you know, with Brava using, Prio using, Petro Rio. You know, I think there's a number of MODEC. There's a number of clients in Brazil. So I think, you know, there's clearly not only sort of... The sort of theoretical that they need, you know, they're getting older, they're high corrosion, but actually we actually see clients using. And I think, interestingly enough, we see a bit the same in Norway. If you look where the accommodation units are working, they're largely working now against FPSOs rather than, again, new installations. And I don't see this FPSO trend declining. There's many FPSOs on order. into Brazil, but also Guyana. And I guess if we're looking even further down the line, then we're talking, you know, Namibia. But so I'm very optimistic about sort of the underlying demand driver driver for for our units. Just take one last check. Oh, I think that was. That was it for questions. Unless there's any questions from the audience here. Go ahead, Lucas. Take the mic.

So what kind of OPEX number for Caledonia did you bake in your guidance number?

Yeah, so Caledonia has about 35,000 OPEX when she's working and she has about 20 when she's going to be laid up. And of course, we also have some costs associated with laying her up. So we will have a few million dollars of costs just to get her get her, of course, get her property laid up.

And your CapEx expectations beyond 26? I mean, you are doing two major SPSs in 26, so 27, 28. What's kind of the run rate that you are looking at?

Yeah. No, that's a very good question. I think, you know, what we're seeing is, you know, SPS costs tend to be in this sort of $20 to $30 million range. So, you know, we're doing this. We've done quite a few of the SPSs. So if we can, we're going to have another five years on NOTUS, another five years on Zephyrus. EURUS is coming up, I think, end of 28, 29. So I think, you know, but those are kind of 20 to 30 million chunks per rig. But they are all kind of now in the 2020, 2031, 2029 timeframe. And I think one of the key. One of the key questions here, of course, is always when you're getting on to new contracts, is there going to be a requirement for contract specific modifications or capex changes? So a good example is now when we transition notice onto her new contract with Petrobras, there is some capex which is required according to the contract. In exchange, we did get a mobile fee from Petrobras, so you match them off. But I think what exactly the capex will be in the coming, you know, 27, 28, leaving aside, you know, SPSs, I think that's a little bit dependent on which contracts and the contract structure that we enter into. But generally, we're looking at two to four million a rig outside of SPSs.

And the high kind of reimbursables that you incurred in the Q4, is it going to continue in 26, given the structure of the contract?

Yeah, I think the reimbursables will continue to be quite high, but Q4 was particularly high because the heavy lift vessel itself, the entire chartering of the heavy lift vessel from Norway to Brazil was a reimbursable. And that was a double-digit million figure. So we won't see the same level of of reimbursables. But we'll continue to see some reimbursables, but the markup is sub-5%.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, with that, thank you very much, everyone, for coming and for listening in. Thank you.
