Sea1 Offshore

Good morning, and welcome to the presentation of our results for the second quarter. My name is Bernd Domdahl, and I'm the CEO of the company. Together with our CFO, Vidar Jasta, we will take you through this presentation. C1 Offshore's report for the second quarter, 2026, was released prior to the market opening today. In this presentation, we will cover the main highlights of the report, and we will refer to the presentation issue together with the financial report. At the end of the presentation, we will open up for questions, and I suggest you post your questions in the chat function. So, looking at the highlights for the quarter, we operated 15 fully owned vessels. In addition, we have four vessels under construction. All of our vessels in operation delivered a positive EBITDA margin. We had US dollars 80 million in revenue, and we delivered $41.5 million in EBITDA, that is equal to an EBITDA margin of 52%. We have a book equity ratio of 53%. and our net interest bearing debt was $259 million at the end of the quarter. Revenue and EBITDA is up year on year, even though second quarter figures in 2025 included a positive contribution from C1 Spare Fish, which was sold in May 2025. We continue to deliver safe and efficient operations in all regions. This is a result of high focus on safety at all levels in the company. The utilization of the fleet in the second quarter was 83%, which is somewhat down from the same quarter last year, which is a result of the low utilization in the anchor handler spot market. But it's worth pointing out that we have managed to increase both revenue and EBITDA compared to last year. And this is mainly due to the high day rates C1 has obtained in the spot market. Due to solid results, a strong balance sheet, good liquidity and a significant backlog, a dividend payment of 4 Norwegian kronos per share was executed on the 16th of April. The AGM was held on the 24th of April. Vidar Jastar will now give some more details regarding the results for the quarter.

When comparing the 2026 and 2025 results, it's, as said, important to note that the Saatchi vessel, C1 Spearfish, was sold in May 25. As a result, the prior year results include a gain on sale of that asset of $41.5 million in addition to the vessel's operating contribution. In the second quarter of this year, operating revenues were $80.1 million. This represents a 12% increase from the same quarter last year. Adjusted for the sale of C1 Spearfish, revenues have increased compared to last year for all segments Mainly due to higher charter rates, but also due to Ben Viking being on bare boat contract in March, from March, generating revenues for the company. The operating expenses increased by $6 million in the quarter. This is mainly explained by the just mentioned Ben Viking being on bare boat, increasing operating expenses. Administrative expenses were $7.3 million. compared to 6.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollars against the Norwegian, Brazilian, and Australian currencies, as a significant portion of the company's administrative cost base is denominated in these currencies. EBITDA rose to 41.5 million from 39.6 million, representing a 5% increase. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $13.3 million. An impairment cost of half a million dollars is due to redistribution of previous reversal of impairments between vessels. The adjustment is technical and not based on any market value assessment. Operating profit ended at $27.8 million. Net financial items were negative by $3.8 million. In addition to the interest expenses recognized in the profit and loss statement, borrowing costs of $1.4 million for the second quarter have been capitalized as part of assets under construction. The net profit to shareholders was $22.7 million for the quarter, or $0.15 per share. This next slide presents the operating margins for our four main reporting segments. The charts on the left show second quarter performance compared to previous year, while the charts on the right show share year-to-date performances. All figures are presented before G&A expenses. Operating margin for the subsidy segment declined due to the sale of C1 spare fish. Excluding this effect, the remaining subsea fleet delivered operating margin improvements of 8% in the quarter and 6% year-to-date. The anchor handling segment continued its strong performance, with operating margin increasing by 18% during the quarter and 34% year-to-date. Operating margins for over two Brazilian PSVs improved by 20% during the quarter and 14% year-to-date. Operating margins in the oil spill recovery vessel segment were temporarily impacted by maintenance activity on one vessel. Overall, the underlying margin trend remained positive across all segments. This slide summarizes C1 Offshore's financial position at quarter end. Group equity increased to 53%, reflecting the company's continued financial strength. Gross interest-bearing debt amounted to $299 million, and net interest-bearing debt was $260 million. During the quarter, C1 strengthened its liquidity position through the refinancing of the C1 Durado facility, increasing funding by $28 million. In addition, the revolving credits facility for the well intervention vessels was increased from $100 million to $150 million. The facility remained fully ungrown at quarter end, providing $150 million of immediately available liquidity. The company's $315 million new-built facility was drawn by $4.4 million at quarter-end. Approximately $85 million is available pre-delivery to fund yard installments with a reminder to be drawn upon vessel delivery. The facility is fully independent of any commercial contract commitments. Overall, C1 continues to maintain a solid balance sheet and a substantial financial flexibility. And now the cash flow for the first half year of 2026. We started the year with $86 million in cash. We have received $60 million from operations. We have paid net interest of $5 million. Capital expenditures amounted to $40 million. of which 20 million was invested in existing fleet and 20 million in the new build program. We have increased interest-bearing debt by $2 million. We have paid dividends of $63 million and ended the first half of this year with $39 million in cash on our accounts. So far this year, C1 has continued to execute its fleet renewal strategy Continually investing in its existing assets and in addition maintained shareholder distributions.

Moving on to our contract backlog. C1 Offshore has a backlog of about $1,129 million, where of $504 million is options. The largest part of our backlog is related to the subsea fleet, which represent 83% of our backlog. For the remaining of 2026, we have a firm backlog of about $105 million. Our OSV fleet now consists of 15 own vessels, as listed on the slide. In addition, we have four offshore energy support vessels under construction. and eight vessels under technical and commercial management. C1 Offshore has now two well intervention vessels, one offshore construction vessels, six anchor handlers, two PSVs, four oil spill recovery vessels and we have four new builds under construction and in addition we have or commercial and technical management. Our four new builds are on schedule with regards to delivery time. The first one, C1 Diamond, which you see on these pictures, was launched last month. The delivery date is end of January. The following vessel, C1 Citrine, will be delivered three months after C1 Diamond. So far, no commitment has been made. We are working on getting contracts in place. In case we do not find long-term contracts as favorable rates, we will concentrate on well-paid short-term contracts. On this slide, we have listed all our fully owned vessels and vessels operated commercially and technically by us. The company has, as mentioned before, a very good global footprint, which is important for the utilization of the fleet. We will continue to move vessels around the world where we can perform safe operations based on sustainable conditions. For the anchor handler segment, there are mainly shorter contracts and campaigns. In Australia, we currently have three anchor handlers, which is C1 Aquamarine, C1 Emerald, and Andreas Viking. They're all operating on term contracts. C1 Sapphire and C1 Amethyst just completed a short contract in Malaysia. In Canada, we have Avalon Sea and Ben Viking working on term contracts there. The remaining Anchor Handler fleet is all trading in the North Sea spot market. We have one construction vessel in operation. That is the Sea Wanderer Dorado. She is on a firm contract operating in Brazil. and the two well-intervention vessels C-Helix 1 and 2, they are both on long-term contracts working offshore Brazil. We have still two PSVC in our fleet, C-1 Atlas and C-1 Giant. They are both on term contracts also in Brazil. And for smaller Brazilian fleet, we have the oil spill recovery vessels C-1 Maragogi and C-1 Maratisis. both on term contracts with Petrobras and the fast crew vessels C1 Pendutiba and C1 Fiatta both on long term bare boat agreements. Just a few comments to the market. The geopolitical tension continues to shape our operating environment and it creates demand and opportunities for our industry. For the construction support vessel market, long-term demand fundamentals remain strong, with subsidiary backlogs from leading EPCs at record levels. However, new vessels we deliver in the next two years may moderate day rate levels. The anchor handler market was tight throughout the second quarter. Higher rig activity on the UK sector combined with project work was the main driver. Despite record high day rates, the overall utilization remained moderate and is expected to be a challenge as we enter into the winter months. The global anchor handler market is expected to gradually improve with the regional variations. Both the APEC region and South America is softening a bit in the short term, but we are still positive about the market in these regions for the years to come. So to summarize, We delivered a strong quarter with high activity. We continue to deliver first class operations with excellent HSEQ performance. Our new building program on track with the first vessel to be delivered January 2027. We have a solid financial position and we have a strong backlog with quality clients. And there is a positive long-term market outlook. That was the end of the presentation, and we will now open up for questions. Okay, we have got some questions in the chat function, and together with me, I have Vidar and Andreas Kjell, who is CCO, to answer these questions. One of the questions is regarding our well intervention vessels, a question regarding how many days spent on the dry docking. We spent just, I think it was 33 days in dock, but we have earned maintenance days. We are on full hire during this docking period. And the sister vessel, she is scheduled for dry docking in January next year. And then there is the question regarding the anchor handler Ben Viking, which is owned by Viking Supply. We took that vessel on a bare boat contract and turned us around and secured a time charter deal with a client in Canada. This contract comes to an end probably late September, the way it looks today. Then there is another question regarding the anchor handlers availability. You say it was tight in second quarter and also you say that utilization was slow. How is this possible? Well, that's a good question. Normally, the utilization and day rates goes hand in hand. But the way the market has been this summer or this year, the utilization has been rather low. But C1 Offshore have managed to hold back and secured really good day rates. And in our books, we have recorded the all-time high average picture rates for the Anchor Andrews.

And we got a question here regarding dividend and dividend policy. Just to remind you, the last two years, the company has paid $230 million in dividends. So we are, I would categorize the company as investor-friendly. However, C1 has no dividend policy. The decision regarding the dividends lies with the board of directors. So future capital allocation and dividends will be based on the company's financial outlook and market conditions.

And there is another question regarding the market. Can you update the duration on the Avalon Sea contract? We believe the Avalon Sea will come off for current contract end of September. Let me see here.

We also got a question whether to repeat the information regarding the Revolving Credits Facility. Yes, the Revolving Credits Facility is of $150 million, and it's undrawn, all available.

Then there is a question regarding our new builds. They are, as mentioned in the presentation, all on schedule. First one with delivery January 2027. There is so far no commitments have been made. We are working on getting contracts in place. And in case we do not find a long-term contract at favorable rates, then we will concentrate on well-paid short-term contracts. They also committed ROVs to the vessels, so we are ready to trade those vessels when they are delivered. Let me see. Then there is a question regarding the three vessels operating in Australia. When do these contracts expire? Looking at the rig contract, which the three vessels are supporting, we believe that the contract will end probably during December. But it depends on the last well. That's an optional well. One question. Do you anticipate any impact on West Asia conflict going forward as it is still uncertain? West Asia conflict? Well, if you mean the Middle East, I mean we are not directly impacted by it as we have no vessels trading there. There's a question, why don't you participate in the anchor handler project market? Well, we are targeting whatever tender that is out there. Now we are discussing whether or not to put on a crane, active heat compensated crane on one of the anchor handlers. So if that is decided, I mean, then we are more into the anchor handler project market as well.

Odin and Ruby is currently ongoing on a project contract.

Do you expect to secure any term work for your anchor handlers? Well, that is day-to-day work. We are chasing whatever is out there, and hopefully we will be able to secure well-paid contracts for our anchor hammers. I mean, we are targeting high day rates. That has paid off for C1 Offshore so far. There is a question regarding the current market rates for 250-ton crane segment. The last picture we have recorded or heard the rumors about and it was at 75 US dollars per day. Let's see. So question regarding the PSV market. I mean, we only have two PSVs and they are built and are operating in Brazil. So it's only the Brazilian PSV market that we are concentrating about. So the North Sea PSV market is not our core business. Maybe you can answer this one Andreas. How do you see the supply balance in the North Sea going forward? Risks of vessels moving in from other regions?

Of course, our competitors see also the high rate in the North Sea. But we operate a big fleet of high spec vessels, have first class operations. good market for us to perform in and it's not easy for other competitors to enter the market.

There's a question regarding C1 Sapphire and C1 Amethyst outlook for those vessels. I mean currently we are trading the Asia-Pacific call it spot market, trying to build up several short-term contracts. One of them will now enter into a 47-day contract offshore Malaysia. So it is a challenging market depending on the term contracts, but I mean we have managed to secure well-paid contracts so far this year.

We also see the Australian market will improve in the second quarter of 2017.

So that was, there was no more questions posted. So if you have any other questions, please use the chat function, please. Alright, if no further questions, we will end this session and we thank you all for attending. Have a good weekend. Thank you.
