Bruno Chabas, CEO of SBM Offshore commented:
"This quarter saw the successful delivery of two complex FPSOs to our clients.
The scale and technological challenges of delivering these projects in line with
client schedule and to budget were very significant. I am very proud to see that
dedicated SBM Offshore staff demonstrated once again that experience matters, by
exceeding expectations.
Business across the offshore industry remains slow, with low order intake.
Visibility on new awards continues to be limited, even though interest is
picking up with the realization that the turning point in oil supply/demand is
close and that structural undersupply is likely only to be a matter of time.
Client feedback on our game changing Fast4Ward(TM) product is very positive.
This innovation combined with our ongoing restructuring and optimization program
give us confidence we have a credible solution to work profitably in a low oil
price environment."

+----------------+ +----------------------------+ +----------------------------+
Year-to-date 2016 Directional(1) revenue came in at US$1,574 million versus
US$2,059 million in the year-ago period. For the Turnkey segment, revenue
decreased 50% year-on-year to US$622 million, reflecting the slow-down in
activity due to continued difficult oil and gas market conditions, as well as
the sale to JV partners of a 45% stake in FPSO Turritella in the first half of
2015. The Lease and Operate revenue increased 18% versus the same period last
year to US$952 million, due to the commencement of production of FPSO Cidade de
Maricá which was on hire commencing February 7, 2016, FPSO Cidade de Saquarema
which was on hire on July 8, 2016, FPSO Turritella which was on hire commencing
September 2, 2016 and the contribution of the Production Handling Agreement
signed in September 2015 with Noble to connect the Big Bend and Dantzler fields
to the Thunder Hawk Deepdraft(TM) Semi in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Directional(1 )Backlog as of September 30, 2016 stood at US$17.5 billion. The
Company added US$ 193 million in new orders related to FEED, terminals and
offshore installation contracts and contract close-outs. Although SBM Offshore
is actively involved in several tenders for FEED studies and final awards, it
remains cautious on order intake in view of the continuing downturn in the oil
and gas industry.
Proportional net debt as of September 30, 2016 amounted to US$3.0 billion, a
decrease of 4% compared to the end of December 2015. This predominantly reflects
an increase in cash flow generated by the Lease and Operating segment and
upfront payments received from clients, more than offsetting the decreasing
capital expenditure in the Turnkey segment and the Company's share repurchase
program.
Directional(1) capital expenditure for the year to date amounted to US$35
million. Full year 2016 Directional(1) capital expenditure, net of upfront
client payments, has been revised from US$70 million to US$50 million. The year
to date and reduced full year forecast reflect good project progress and release
of contingencies in closing out Turnkey projects.
Project Review
FPSO Cidade de Saquarema (Brazil)
FPSO Cidade de Saquarema achieved first oil and completed a 72-hour continuous
production test leading to final acceptance. The vessel was formally on hire on
July 8, 2016. The FPSO achieved its operational milestone "flare out" on
September 20. The charter contract for the vessel includes an initial period of
20 years.
FPSO Turritella (US Gulf of Mexico)
FPSO Turritella was formally on hire as of September 2, 2016 after achieving
Commencement of Commercial Production (CoCP). The CoCP certificate was issued
on September 8, 2016. The lease and operate contract includes an initial period
of 10 years with future extension options up to a total of 20 years.
Turrets and Mooring systems
Commissioning continues in accordance with client's schedules and contractual
planning for the two large, complex turrets for Prelude FLNG and FPSO Ichthys.
The Prelude turret finalization date, previously foreseen for 2016, will be
aligned with client execution schedule.
Operational Uptime
The Company's fleet recorded 99.2% uptime for the third quarter, which brings
the year-to-date uptime to 96.4%.
FSO Serpentina Extension
The operating and maintenance contract on FSO Serpentina was extended on August
1, 2016 for a period of 6 months from the previous termination date of August
14, 2016 to February 14, 2017.
Compliance
The Brazilian Fifth Chamber upheld its decision of September 1, 2016 in which
the Leniency Agreement, as per the current terms, was not approved, and referred
the matter, including review of the appeals filed by the General Counsel for the
Republic (Advocacia Geral da União - "AGU") and the Public Prosecutor's Office
(Ministério Público Federal - "MPF"), to the Higher Council of the MPF (Conselho
Institutional) for further consideration and decision.
The Company remains committed to engage with all relevant authorities until the
Leniency Agreement is approved by the Fifth Chamber. Until it is binding upon
all parties, the Company is not under any obligation to make payments under the
Leniency Agreement.
The Leniency Agreement further remains subject to review by the Federal Court of
Accounts (Tribunal de Contas da União - "TCU"), which is not a condition
precedent to the Leniency Agreement.
It is currently not possible to predict the timing or final outcome of these
developments, and the Company will update the market accordingly.
YME Decommissioning
The Yme platform was decommissioned, taken off station and handed over to SBM
Offshore on August 22, 2016. The platform was subsequently transported and
placed onshore at a yard in Norway on September 12, where the platform will be
disassembled.
New Research and Development Laboratory
On October 12, 2016, SBM Offshore has officially inaugurated its new R&D
facilities at Carros - Le Broc, near Nice in France. The laboratory covers
2,300 m(2), and will cater to a variety of testing and research requirements
across the Company's product lines in new technological developments.
Dow Jones Sustainability Index ("DJSI")
On September 19, 2016, SBM Offshore was reconfirmed in the DJSI, for the seventh
consecutive year. The 2016 entry score of 81 out of 100 demonstrates that the
Company is recognized as an "Industry Leader" in the Energy Equipment and
Services sector.
Share Repurchase Program
On August 11, the Company initiated a EUR 150 million share repurchase program.
As of November 4, the Company had repurchased 6,971,000 shares at an average
share price of EUR 12.73, equal to 59% of the total repurchase program.
Release of Pre-Completion Corporate Guarantees
The release of pre-completion corporate guarantees associated with project
financings with respect to the three FPSOs Cidade de Maricá, Cidade de Saquarema
and Turritella is ongoing. Reflagging of FPSOs Cidade de Maricá and Cidade de
Saquarema to Panama, as a condition prior to release of the guarantees, has been
completed in September 2016. Release of the pre-completion corporate guarantees
is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Floating Wind Pilot Project
Having supplied more than 100 floating production and more than 450 offshore
mooring systems over almost 60 years, SBM Offshore is the technology leader for
floating and mooring solutions for the energy industry. SBM Offshore is looking
at deploying its technology in floating wind projects as these require strong
offshore experience and expertise.
On November 4, 2016 the French Government announced that it has selected the EDF
Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN) proposal to construct a pilot floating wind farm for
its Provence Grand Large project, offshore France. SBM Offshore's proprietary
floating systems solution for offshore wind turbines will be deployed on this
EDF EN project. The pilot project remains subject to the client's final
investment decision.
The scope for SBM Offshore would involve engineering, procurement, construction
and installation services of the floating and mooring components for three
floating wind systems. The execution planning remains subject to discussions
with EDF EN, authorities and other project stakeholders. The Company would
supply the floaters' components on a turn-key basis.
Outlook and Guidance
The Company is reiterating its 2016 Directional(1) revenue guidance of at least
US$2.0 billion, of which US$0.6-0.7 billion is expected in the Turnkey segment
and US$1.3-1.4 billion in the Lease and Operate segment. The Company also
reconfirms the 2016 Directional(1) EBITDA guidance of around US$750 million.
