Underlying Performance − Directional

Underlying Directional Revenue and EBITDA are adjusted for the non-recurring events during a financial period to enable comparison of normal business activities for the current period in relation to the comparative period.

During 2021 the Directional EBITDA and profit attributable to shareholders were impacted by US$(8) million relating to the penalty order against the Company issued by Swiss public prosecutor in November 2021.

In addition, the 2021 Underlying Directional Revenue and EBITDA includes US$75 million related to final cash received over the period under the final settlement signed with the client following the redelivery of the Deep Panuke MOPU in July 2020. This amount was excluded from the Underlying 2020 Revenue and EBITDA. Considering the associated depreciation of the vessel, this transaction only negligibly impacted the Underlying Directional gross margin and profit attributable to shareholders.

For reference, the difference between Directional profit attributable to shareholders and Underlying Directional profit attributable to shareholders was due to the following non-recurring items in 2020:

• A full impairment of US$(57) million of the SBM Installer installation vessel;
• Other impairments of US$(29) million (individually not significant) relating to: (i) partial impairment of two units and (ii) increased impairment loss on financial assets.
