Good morning everyone and welcome to Kvaerner’s fourth quarter presentation here at Fornebu.

As usual I will take you through the key financials and our operations.

Then, our CFO Idar will provide more details on the figures. I will give you an update on the market

situation, as well as the way forward. At the end we will open up for questions.

The photo is of the Nyhamna project, Kvaerner’s work with the Nyhamna Expansion project started

in 2012. What has been one of the largest industrial developments in Northern Europe in recent

years has been completed in line with plans, and with zero serious harm to people or to the

environment.

Kvaerner continued to deliver strong performance and results also in fourth quarter.

The results were driven by successful execution and projects being completed.

The Nyhamna project has been delivered in line with plans. Kvaerner will during the

first part of 2018 be involved in some final work and close-out activities, and in

supporting Shell’s project organisation in the start up of the facility.

The Hebron project was delivered as scheduled in August and the platform

achieved first oil 27 of November last year. Project close-out was finalised in fourth

quarter.

The improved performance, including incentives and close-out activities in the

project portfolio, has impacted project results positively.

During the quarter, we were awarded four new contracts within both traditional and

growth segments. The largest of the new contracts was the 1 billion topside and

steel jacket substructure contract for Valhall Flank West. This is the first project in

the Wellhead Platform Alliance with Aker BP.

Additionally, after the end of the quarter, we were awarded two smaller contracts for

disposal of the existing Valhall QP and Varg A installations. The backlog for our

decommissioning business now has a healthy load factor until early 2020.

The common denominator for the entire portfolio is: Kvaerner delivers as committed!

Both the Johan Sverdrup drilling platform and production platform jackets are being assembled in

Verdal: Important milestones for the drilling jacket were the last roll-up of the four main frames in

October and installation of the third pile cluster in December. This jacket will be delivered this

spring and the third one this summer.

For the Johan Sverdrup ULQ topside, all prefabricated modules have been lifted in place and

installed according to schedule. The load out to barge and jacking of the platform up to 13 metres

was completed in November. The assembly of the living quarter is on-going and the utility module

will be powered up for testing in February. Commissioing activities will start in March.

The Valhall Flank West project will be executed by the alliance, and Kvaerner’s scope includes

procurement, fabrication, sea-fastening and load-out, as well as offshore hook-up and

commissioning assistance. The fabrication management will be based at Kvaerner’s yard in Verdal,

where prefabrication and assembly will now start in May.

For the Njord A platform, the main activities in Construction last period has been fabrication of steel

sections in Verdal and structural reinforcement inside and outside the hull at Stord.

After hook up of the Aasta Hansteen SPAR Substructure and topside early December, Kvaerner

has now worked 24/7 with hook-up and completion of the platform. Our inshore scope will continue

until early spring when the platform is towed to the field. Kvaerner will also assist Statoil with

offshore hook-up and preparations for production start-up.

For the hook up of the Sverdrup riser platform:

Preparation and verification of work packages are ongoing. The modules for offshore hook-up are

expected to arrive in Norway in second quarter, and the offshore execution will start spring this

year.

We are currently working on two decommissioning projects: the disposal and demolition of the

Subsea Compression Pilot at Nyhamna and the dismantle and recycling of a North Sea platform.

Currently there are 5 000 tonnes at our yard that are being disposed. Preparations are ongoing for

receipt of 40 000 tonnes of structures this spring.

As I repeat every quarter, good HSSE performance is not only our licence to operate. It is also a

pre-requisite in order to be on the bidders list!

Kvaerner’s ambition is to openly share our HSSE results. Both because we want to drive continuous

improvement in this industry, and because we believe HSSE should be an important bid criteria also

for contracts in Norway.

There has been a further decline in serious incidents in fourth quarter, but still there was one serious

incident related to work at height. Investigation has initiated several actions to ensure safe

operations.

No Lost Time Incident occurred in fourth quarter, ending on five Lost Time Incidents in total for

2017.

Total injury frequency (TRIF) ended on 2.5 for 2017. The majority of the injuries are related to cuts

in hands and fingers.

The HSSE results for fourth quarter positively impacts the HSSE results for the whole year, but still

we are not satisfied with the HSSE performance and need to improve in this area.

Campaign and incentive programme to increase reporting is ongoing, and a smart phone App for

reporting is piloted in the period. In addition we will focus on compliance, visible leadership,

proactive risk awareness and HSSE in relation to our subcontractors and partners.

The sick leave for fourth quarter is slightly increasing to 5.4 percent and is above the target of 4.8

percent. The improvement programme to reduce sick leave continue.

As we have commented earlier, the Field Development Segment figures include our share of

revenues from jointly controlled entities.

We focus on the Field Development figures in this presentation, as this reflects our complete

operations. The revenues in fourth quarter were almost 1.85 billion. And the EBITDA was 234

million for the quarter and the margin was 11.1 percent in 2017.

The order intake was 1.7 billion in fourth quarter.

The order backlog was 8.1 billion at the end of fourth quarter. The graph shows that 70 percent of

the total backlog is estimated for execution in 2018 and the rest for 2019 and onwards.

----------------------------------------

Then I leave the word to Idar to comment more detailed on the financials.

Thank you Jan Arve and good morning!

The financial highlights in fourth quarter were:

- Good margins reflecting improved quality performance including incentives and close out

activities

- We maintain a robust balance sheet

Let’s look at the details, starting with Field Development review

7

Field Development revenues was almost 1.85 billion in fourth quarter and EBITDA was 234 million in

the quarter. The revenues for full year 2017 ended at 7.6 billion with an EBITDA of 846 million,

resulting in a margin of 11.1 percent.

Provision for excess office capacity due to market downturn has been provided for by 53 million.

The good performance, including incentives and close out activities has impacted project results,

and the quarterly results, positively. As we have said earlier, quarterly fluctuations in earnings are to

be expected due to phasing of projects, project portfolio mix and performance related bonuses.

During first half of 2018, positive effects from projects being delivered and projects reaching 20

percent completion are expected to impact results. For full year 2018, margins will be lower than for

2017 due to few major projects in completion phases and the composition of the project portfolio.

8

Moving to the group’s cash flow, the net current operating assets (NCOA), or working capital was

negative 650 million at year end. We expect the working capital to increase in 2018 due to projects

being completed and the portfolio mix.

Looking at the cash flow statement, net cash inflow from operating activities was 297 million in

fourth quarter mainly reflecting positive EBITDA. The cash flow from operating activities for 2017

was negative at 113 million due to negative working capital developments of 884 million, more than

offsetting the positive EBITDA.

Net cash outflow from investing activities was 67 million in the quarter, related to capital

expenditure. Main capex items were investments in decommissioning facilities, and productivity

enhancing equipment such as welding robots and machines.

Our guiding for maintenance capex is 30-50 million annually. Additional strategic and capacity

investments at the yards such as equipment and digitalisation tools may increase capex in the

year.

Net cash outflow from financing activities was 15 million, related to the share purchase programme

for employees and fees paid.

Net increase in cash and bank deposits during the quarter amounted to 217 million, resulting in

cash and bank deposits at year end 2017 of 2.8 billion.

A few comments to the balance sheet:

At the end of the quarter our credit facilities were undrawn and net cash at quarter end was close to

2.8 billion. Movements in working capital is impacting cash balances and at year end, net cash

excluding negative working capital was 2.2 billion. Kvaerner maintains a robust balance sheet with

an equity ratio of 55 percent.

Thank you for the attention. I now leave the floor to Jan Arve for an update on market and outlook.

Thank you Idar.

Let me continue with a comment on the outlook and market.

Since 2014, our customers’ Capital Expenditure for new field developments have declined about 40

percent in Kvaerner’s key markets. Now, it seems that this decline is levelling out.

Already from 2018 and over the coming few years, we expect several new projects to be launched

both in Norway and globally.

The Norwegian continental shelf is becoming a mature region.

New large field discoveries will depend on how much new areas the oil companies can survey.

In the longer run, we may see a reduced number of new large offshore platforms.

In balance, we will probably see a continued increase in new satellite field developments and tie-

ins.

This will typically include an increasing number of smaller new platforms and also more

modifications on the host facilities.

In the international markets, we see prospects for new platforms in a medium term perspective.

Simultaneously, there is hard competition, and several competitors are really feeling the need for

getting new jobs.

We see from the news media that several players in our industry has delivered bids and won new

orders over the past few years, which now gives them financial margins at a low level which is

difficult to sustain.

We have from Kvaerner said for a long time that it is important that we only take on contracts which

can contribute to sound margins.

We will always strive to deliver bids that will provide the customers with the lowest total costs, but

we will also continue to be disciplined and not buy new contracts with unsustainable margin levels.

Let me comment on the market opportunities we pursue.

In our traditional market for offshore platforms, we are positioning for prospects where we expect to

see the outcome of contract awards both in 2018 and 2019. Among these, there are some few, and

then even more important, large prospects.

Based on the strategic review process we performed earlier, Kvaerner has also step by step started

to build up new legs for business in adjacent segments. A key criteria has been to focus on

segments where our expertise and our advanced facilities provides a good foundation for offering

competitive solutions to the customers.

The result of this strategic development is that we now have ongoing operations in these growth

segments. In all of them, we have won new contracts over the last 12 months, which illustrates that

we are competitive.

In our traditional market for offshore platforms, we expect that the market will level out in the short

term, but possibly decline a bit in the longer term. Our strategy is to balance this by using our

improved competitiveness to maintain or strengthen our market share.

In addition, we will increase revenues from the adjacent segments.

A key enabler for our growth strategy is the continuous improvements we are embedding in all parts

of our operations. Additionally, our solid financial position is important in the competitive landscape

we are in.

11

Over the last few years, a variety of improvements have reduced the cost base for new bids we

deliver by approximately 20 – 25 percent. So far, most of the industry’s improvements have been

cost cuts and changes in each individual company. Already in 2015, Kvaerner was maybe the first

company to point out that the really large improvement potential is when we start on joint initiatives

between oil companies and contractors.

Now, we start to see that such initiatives are embraced by the industry.

The recommendations for more inter-company cooperation in the new Konkraft report is one of

several examples.

For Kvaerner, the frame agreement with Statoil for delivering multiple jackets was a new innovation

when we signed it in 2014. We have soon completed 3 jackets for Johan Sverdrup under this

agreement, and we see how much cost reductions we have gained from industrialisation and

productivity improvements.

The Valhall Flank West contract is based on the innovative alliance that was established in the

spring last year.

Going forward, Kvaerner have clear programs for further improvements of internal cost base and

productivity. However, we will simultaneously continue ongoing processes with other companies in

the industry about how we can use more joint initiatives to improve at an industrial level, and not

only improve project by project.

So let me sum up the key messages for today.

12

To sum up, Kvaerner has yet again delivered strong quarterly results.

All projects are on track and we see positive effects from achieving incentives.

We see some few, but key new prospects for new platforms which will be up for award in 2018 and

2019.

Simultaneously, we continue to develop our growth segments.

Competition is strong, but we believe that Kvaerner have attractive offers for some of the upcoming

projects.

The activity level from 2018 and onwards will be strongly influenced by the outcome of upcoming

contract awards.

While we pursue upcoming opportunities with full force, our first priority will always be to continue to

execute the ongoing projects safely and predictably.

The Board has decided not to distribute dividend at this point.

We believe that our financial position provides flexibility to selectively follow up structural

opportunities if and when they should occur, and further develop adjacent segments.

That concludes our presentation, thank you!
