Øivind Tangen, CEO of SBM Offshore, commented:

“Our SBM teams continue to deliver a strong performance, driving improved results.

We have increased our EBITDA guidance for the year from around US$1.3 billion to around US$1.9 billion. This is mainly driven by the completion of the sale of FPSO Prosperity to ExxonMobil Guyana Ltd on November 7, and the expected sale of FPSO LizaDestiny towards the end of year.

The award by TotalEnergies of the FPSO contract for the GranMorgu project in Suriname demonstrates the value of our lifecycle offering and the advantaged positioning this can give us in the market. The c. 220 kboe/d capacity vessel, delivered in partnership with Technip Energies, will utilize all-electric drive to help optimize the emission intensity of the FPSO in line with our emission zero goal of delivering more carbon-efficient units.

Our project portfolio continues to progress as per plan, with three units expected to reach first oil in the course of next year. This convergence towards excellence across our lifecycle is greatly helped by the fast learning achieved through our Fast4Ward^® program.

The first of these units, FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, arrived safely in Brazil and has entered the final offshore commissioning scope. Once in full production, this unit will be the largest producing FPSO in Brazil and is also the first in Brazil with a Sustainability-1 Notation³.

Reflecting our continuous attention to the health and wellbeing of our employees and all those working on our projects, we can report another quarter with an overall HSSE performance in line with our targets.

Finally, we completed the sale of 13.5% in FPSO Sepetiba to CMFL.”

Financial Overview⁴

Directional revenue for the third quarter of 2024 stood at US$2,838 million, a 26% increase compared with the same period in 2023 supported by both the Lease and Operate and Turnkey segments.

Year-to-date, Directional Lease and Operate revenue was US$1,801 million compared with US$1,412 million in the third quarter of 2023. This 28% increase mainly reflects (i) the contribution of FPSOs Prosperity and Sepetiba joining the fleet upon successful delivery in 4Q 2023 and 1Q 2024 respectively, (ii) an increase in the reimbursable scope of the fleet, and (iii) the additional contribution from Angolan entities following Sonangol transaction. This was partially offset by the lower revenue generation from FPSO LizaUnity following the sale of the vessel in 4Q 2023 with a contribution coming solely now under the Operations and Maintenance Enabling Agreement.

Directional Turnkey revenue improved by 24% to US$1,036 million compared with the same period last year. The US$200 million increase was mainly driven by the contract award for FPSO Jaguar and higher support to the fleet through brownfield activities, partly offset by a comparatively lower amount of revenue booked in the construction portfolio as projects approach completion.

Directional Net Debt increased by US$603 million to US$7,258 million for the period ending 3Q 2024. The increase was driven by drawings under the project finance facilities, which reflects the continued investment in the construction program of 4 FPSOs. The hedge ratio of the floating-rate debt is above 90%.

Cash Return

The share repurchase program of EUR130 million (c. US$140 million) is progressing and was c. 57% completed on November 13, 2024 after market close. The repurchases were made under the EUR65 million share repurchase program announced on February 29, 2024, effective from March 1, 2024, and increased by EUR65 million as announced on August 8, 2024.

The objective of the share repurchase program is to reduce share capital and in addition to provide shares for regular management and employee share programs. The share repurchase program is expected to be completed by end of April 2025.

Guidance

Following the purchase of FPSO Prosperity, ExxonMobil Guyana Ltd has informed the Company that it will also exercise its right to purchase FPSO Liza Destiny by year-end 2024. This is ahead of the end of the maximum lease term which would have expired in December 2029. The purchase allows ExxonMobil Guyana Ltd to assume ownership of the unit while SBM Offshore will continue to operate and maintain the FPSO. The net cash proceeds will be applied to full repayment of the US$405 million outstanding project financing and as such together with the repayment of the US$979 million outstanding financing for FPSO Prosperity will decrease SBM Offshore's net debt position.

The Company's 2024 guidance has been updated to take into consideration the sale of both FPSOs Prosperity and Liza Destiny⁶.

The Company's 2024 Directional revenue guidance is increased to above US$6.0 billion of which above US$2.3 billion is expected from the Lease and Operate segment and above US$3.7 billion from the Turnkey segment.

2024 Directional EBITDA guidance is increased to around US$1.9 billion for the Company.
