(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* EBITDA of USD 107.7 million in Q2 2013 and EBITDA of USD 224.7 million in
1H 2013
* Stable operations with an uptime of 99.6% in Q2 2013 and 98.9% in 1H 2013
* Papa Terra project (P-63) negative contribution of USD 14.8 million included
in EBITDA

* Dividend payment of USD 0.03 per share
Operating revenues for Q2 2013 amounted to USD 255.1 million, compared to USD
222.2 million in Q1 2013. EBITDA for Q2 2013 amounted to USD 107.7 million,
compared to USD 117.0 million in Q1 2013. The decrease is mainly a result of
negative contribution from the Papa Terra project by USD 14.8 million due to the
revision of the forecasted cost for completing the project as a consequence of
extended yard stay and additional work scope. On the positive side, certain one
off positives from closure of various discussions with clients amounted to USD
10 million.
Operating profit for the quarter amounted to USD 41.5 million compared to USD
52.2 million in the previous quarter. Net profit amounted to USD 22.3 million
for the quarter compared to USD 29.1 million in the previous quarter.
Total equity at 30 June 2013 amounted to USD 1,143.0 million. The equity ratio
was 34.0% at the end of the quarter, up from 33.7% last quarter.
Total available liquidity as of 30 June 2013 amounted to USD 227.9 million.
Net debt amounted to USD 1,649,7 million at 30 June 2013, compared to USD
1,673.9 million at 31 March 2013.
Net cash inflow from operating activities was USD 95.9 million compared to USD
46.2 million in the previous quarter. Net cash outflow from investing activities
was USD 21.3 million compared to cash outflow of USD 19.6 million in the
previous quarter. The majority of this is related to capital expenditures for
life extension on vessels which amounted to USD 21.8 million, compared to USD
19.8 million in the previous quarter. Net cash outflow from financing activities
was USD 52.8 million compared to cash outflow of USD 26.5 million in the
previous quarter. The main reason for the increase is that dividends for fourth
quarter 2012 and first quarter 2013 were paid out during second quarter 2013.
OPERATIONS AND PROJECTS
BW Offshore`s fleet consists of 14 FPSOs and one FSO. All units experienced
stable performance with an average uptime of 99.6% during the second quarter. BW
Offshore also operates FPSO Peregrino. The unit is owned by Statoil and
Sinochem, and is operating on the Peregrino oil field offshore Brazil.
During the quarter BW Offshore agreed a second short term extension for FPSO
Sendje Berge with Addax Petroleum Exploration. The extension has been agreed to
secure operational continuity while joint work to detail longer term program for
investment and production is completed.
The Papa Terra (P-63) EPC project has been in QUIP`s Rio Grande yard in Brazil
for final testing and commissioning since January 2013. The FPSO received
certificate for substantial completion on 17 June 2013. Subsequently the FPSO
was mobilised to be moored at an offshore location and is now awaiting
instructions to further mobilise to the field by Petrobras.
OUTLOOK
The outlook for the energy market in general and FPSO business in particular
remains good. Based on BW Offshore's products, geographical presence, scale and
competence, the Company is well positioned to grow its core business.
BW Offshore's cash flow from the operating units is secure and based on long
term contracts with national and independent oil companies. The fleet of BW
Offshore will continue to generate an increasing cash flow in the time ahead
providing a sound basis for dividend payments as well as for further investments
in new assets.
BW Offshore is currently evaluating several projects likely to meet the
Company's financial targets. This includes both contract extensions for existing
units, as well as contracts for new units and operations. BW Offshore expects to
grow selectively and intends to see an improvement in the risk and reward
balance for new FPSO projects. The company will carry on with the efforts to
improve safety, efficiency, planning, disciplined execution and financial
control.
The Board has declared a cash dividend of USD 0.03 per share for Q2 2013.
