Main deliveries & New orders
5 vessels delivered and 7 ships ordered in 1Q 2022
Backlog deployment
Well-balanced visibility both in Cruise and Naval, 7 new orders in Offshore and Specialized Vessels
1. The Offshore & Specialized Vessels business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Order intake and backlog
Positive order intake with a solid contribution of ESS and Offshore. Sustained backlog and a robust soft backlog in line with 1Q 2021
▪ Order intake at €0.5 bn, driven mainly by the expansion of ESS and Offshore
▪ Total backlog representing 5.2x 2021 revenues
1. Total backlog is the sum of backlog and soft backlog
2. Order intake/revenues ex pass-through
3. Soft backlog represents the value of existing contract options and letters of intent as well as contracts in advanced negotiation, none of which yet reflected in the order backlog
Revenues
Revenues up 17.8%, with positive contribution across all segments
Revenues up 17.8% YoY with positive contribution across all segments Shipbuilding up 6.0% YoY, mainly thanks to Naval, accounting for 22.8% of total revenues
Offshore & Specialized Vessels doubled, up 90 mln YoY Equipment, Systems & Services up 31.4% YoY mainly related to infrastructure and mechatronics business areas
86% of revenues from international clients
1. Breakdown calculated before eliminations
EBITDA
EBITDA at €118 mln (+17.2%) with an EBITDA margin at 7.0%
EBITDA margin at 7.0% mainly thanks to the positive contribution from Shipbuilding, despite the impact from increased commodities’ prices Shipbuilding EBITDA is up €12 mln YoY with margin at 8.3% Offshore EBITDA is up €5 mln YoY thanks to the effective repositioning strategy in more promising sectors ESS EBITDA stable despite raw materials inflation
1. EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure.

EBITDA growth
Better operating margin thanks to higher production volumes and improved margins
Shipbuilding: EBITDA improvement driven by higher production volumes and operating margins Offshore and Specialized Vessels: increased EBITDA thanks to positive production volumes and operating margins ESS: production volumes fully offsetting lower margins
Capex
Investments underpinning further efficiencies in engineering and production processes
▪ Capex at €53 mln to support further efficiencies to address new production scenarios
▪ Upgrade of Marghera and Monfalcone shipyards along with US and Italian naval sites and further investments to improve the Group’s technological solutions
▪ Investments breakdown:
- Intangible activities for €11 mln
- Tangible activities for €42 mln
Net working capital and net financial position
NFP broadly in line with FY 2021. Construction loans consistent with 2022 delivery schedule
▪ Net financial position at €940 mln consistent with production volumes and reflecting net working capital dynamics
▪ Net financial position still impacted by the strategy of deferrals granted to clients (ca. €292 mln)
▪ Construction loans increased to €1,501 mln (vs €1,075 mln in FY 2021) due to production dynamics, with six cruise vessels expected to be delivered in the rest of the year
▪ No financial covenants
1. Construction loans are committed working capital financing facilities, treated as part of Net working capital, not in Net debt, as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts
OUTLOOK
Focus on core business
Competitive positioning confirmed. Cruise full recovery expected in 2023. Naval likely to benefit from higher defence budget.
| CRUISE | ▪ The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has dropped cruise travel warning after two years and Australia lifted cruise ban too from mid April 2022 ▪ Nearly 100% of CLIA oceangoing member lines are projected to be in operation by summer season 2022, with load factors approaching historical levels1 ▪ Booking trends for 2022 and 2023 are in line with 2019 levels, but at higher prices ▪ Passenger volumes are expected to recover and surpass 2019 levels by the end of 20231 with a target of 30 million pax, pre-Covid volumes ▪ Recovery of cruise demand with a growth rate of +5% per year (CAGR 2009-2019 in terms of cruise pax) foresees a target of almost 34 million pax in 2026 and 42 million in 2030. A resumption in orders would be possible from 2023-2024, taking into account construction lead-times and the availability of slots by shipyards1 ▪ The cruise industry aims to reach net carbon neutrality by 2050; by 2027 CLIA member fleet will include 26 LNG-powered cruise ships and 174 cruise ships with shoreside power connectivity1. By 2035, all cruise ships will be equipped to use shore power in order to pursue net-zero carbon cruising by 20502 |
| NAVAL | ▪ Total global defence spending reached USD 2.06 trillion in 2021, showing a compound annual growth rate of 1.8% (CAGR 2013-2021), with defence budgets expected to accelerate in the upcoming years3 ▪ In 2021, the defence budget allocated to navy procurement estimated at 6.4% of global budget3 ▪ While the upward effects of the war in Ukraine on defence budget are yet to be determined, the conflict may accelerate the creation of a common EU Defence ▪ On 21 March 2022, the European Council has adopted the Strategic Compass, with the target to strengthen EU security and defence policy by 2030 ▪ EU major defence programs include the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) for a new class of modular and flexible military ships, the European Patrol Corvette (EPC) |
