TTS Group continues delivering positive operating results, however

disturbed by impairments

TTS has successfully stabilized key business divisions and are proceeding well with its

internal improvement program. The group has in all quarters of 2016, continued the

positive trend from 2015. We are starting to benefit from the positive effects of our

improvement program. Combining our ambition to maintain and grow market position

and our continued focus on synergies and operational efficiency with a goal to reduce

year-on-year operating cost with MNOK 100 across the Group, we expect to maintain

our positive margins in a challenging market.

We have an order backlog that covers more than 80% of the expected new-build

turnover for 2017. This gives a good basis for our 2017 operations. We expect reduced

activity in 2017 compared to 2016, particularly due to short-term challenges within the

car carrier and heavy lift segments. Although the market for Container/Bulk/Tank also

remains challenging, we expect stable turnover in the 100% owned units, but somewhat

reduced activity in the 50% owned Chinese companies. The market for ship-lifts remains

strong. For the services sector, we see a large potential for further development of both

the spare parts sales and the general service activity.

Business unit Offshore continues to deliver marginally positive operating results in the

fourth quarter, which confirms the improvement from an operating loss of MNOK 50 last

year to a positive break even this year. We still expect a weak offshore market in the

foreseeable future, and have reduced the TTS Group's exposure towards the Offshore

sector, which today represents around 7 percent of our turnover.

Business unit Multipurpose General Cargo has experienced a low order intake in 2016.

The turnaround of the heavy lift market and the development of the offshore wind

installation market takes longer time than previously expected. Due to this, the business

unit has reported impairment of MNOK 118, of which inventories MNOK 20, fixed assets

MNOK 16 and goodwill MNOK 82. To reduce the cost base for the business unit and

adapt the operations to the current market, we plan a ramp down of our German

manufacturing setup. We announce a restructuring program for the unit. This will add

restructuring cost of around MNOK 30, which will hit the first quarter 2017 result.

We continue our efforts to develop a more flexible organization that can shift resources

between segments, and thereby be better suited to scale activity by market changes.

Despite a challenging market for marine equipment, we have a strong market position

with a global presence, and a comprehensive and diversified product portfolio. Together

with committed competent colleagues, this creates a strong platform for future growth

when the market improves.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The 4th quarter turnover MNOK 758 was on level with 3rd quarter, but 10% lower than 4th quarter 2015, with the Offshore and RoRo/Cruise/Navy segments being the largest contributors to the reduced turnover.

Operating profit (EBITDA) in the 4th quarter was MNOK 33, excluding the impairment of inventory in Multipurpose / General cargo, which confirms a trend with a positive EBITDA in the area between MNOK 25 and 40 in 2016.

The full year underlying** EBITDA for 2016 was MNOK 133, a significant improvement compared to the same period underlying*** EBITDA for 2015 of MNOK 89.

The Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) in 4th quarter 2016 was MNOK -94, hit by impairment of fixed assets (MNOK 16) and goodwill (MNOK 82) in business unit Multipurpose / General cargo.

TOTAL ASSETS AND NET INTEREST-BEARING DEBT

Total assets at the end of 4th quarter 2016 was MNOK 2 216, a decrease of MNOK 810 compared to the end of 2015 and MNOK 305 compared to 3rd quarter 2016.

Net working capital at the end of the 4th quarter was MNOK 124, an increase of MNOK 45 from 3rd quarter, of which MNOK 70 relates to increase in the 50/50 owned subsidiaries in China, partly offset by a reduction in the 100% owned entities.

Net interest-bearing debt at the end of the 4th quarter was MNOK 294, an increase of MNOK 40 from 3rd quarter. The effect of the consolidation of THH and TTS-SCM represents a total reduction of the reported net interest-bearing debt of MNOK 99.

The equity at the end of the 4th quarter was 27,3%. Including the convertible bond debt the equity was 31,6%.

TTS has covenants for both equity ratio and EBITDA related to its debt and bonding facilities with Nordea and DNB. The debt- and bonding facilities were renewed in 4th quarter 2016. The subordinated debt matures in 2nd quarter 2017. The group has started the process to refinance/prolong the subordinated convertible bond loan in 1st quarter 2017.

ORDER BACKLOG

The order intake for 4th quarter 2016 was MNOK 446, a decrease of 52% compared to the unusually high MNOK 937 in 4th quarter 2015. The largest decrease is in business units RoRo/Cruise/Navy and Container/Bulk/Tank.

The order backlog* at the end of 4th quarter reached NOK 2,7 billion (4,0 billion), of which approximately NOK 1,8 billion is expected to be turned into revenue in 2017. Consequently, about 80 % of the expected revenue from new build activity in 2017 is expected to be covered by existing contracts.

Order-cancellations year to date is MNOK 198 in fully consolidated companies, of which MNOK 77 in 4th quarter. Cancellations in equity-consolidated investments in China was MNOK 126 in 2017.

*including 50% of the order backlog of MNOK 138 (323), in equity consolidated investments in China Expected turnover from the Services segment is not included in the reported order backlog

RORO/CRUISE/NAVY

The business unit reports a decrease in turnover and margin compared to last year. The reduction of margin is an effect of changes in the product mix, as well as losses on a few specific projects.

The order backlog at the end of the quarter was MNOK 652, a reduction of MNOK 49 from last quarter, and MNOK 289 lower than at the end of 4th quarter 2015. Going forward, the Group expects lower new orders and risk of delays from the customer side on existing orders in the market for car carriers. Although this is replaced by higher activity in the market for RoPax and Cruise, we expect a significantly lower turnover in this segment in 2017.

CONTAINER/BULK/TANK

The business unit reports an EBITDA in line with the same quarter last year. Change of consolidation method from the equity method to full consolidation of the 50% owned company THH from 2nd quarter 2015, explains the major part of the reported difference in revenue and margin when comparing full year 2016 with 2015. Consolidated turnover and EBITDA from THH 2016 (2015) represent MNOK 837 (667) and MNOK 58 (48) respectively. Reported EBITDA in Q2 2015 further included one-off effects of MNOK 104.

Reduced utilization of the Jiangnan steel fabrication plant in China (a company 40% owned by THH) continues to give negative contribution from equity-consolidated investments. For 4th quarter 2016 (2015) the net contribution from equity consolidated investments was MNOK -3 (MNOK 3). Total 2016 (2015) contribution was MNOK -20 (MNOK 6).

The weak market for winches in South-Korea has led to a reduced order intake in 2016 compared to 2015. In China however, THH had an order intake in 4th quarter of around MNOK 170, which is in line with 4th quarter 2015.

MULTIPURPOSE/GENERAL CARGO

The business unit’s 4th quarter 2016 EBITDA excluding impairments is close to zero, a marginal improvement from the same quarter last year. The weak EBITDA margin is due to customer-initiated delays in project deliveries, combined with a slow market.

The 2016 order intake was low. We expect the turnaround of the heavy lift market as well as the development of the offshore wind installation market will take longer time than previously expected. Due to this, the business unit has reported impairment of MNOK 118, of which inventories MNOK 20, fixed assets MNOK 16 and goodwill MNOK 82.

To reduce the cost base for the business unit and adapt the operations to the current market, we plan a ramp down of the German manufacturing setup. We announce a restructuring program for the unit. This will add restructuring cost of around MNOK 30, which will hit the 1st quarter 2017 result.

OFFSHORE

The business unit delivers an EBITDA around zero for the fourth consecutive quarter, a

result of the continuing adaption of capacity and cost to the market. From the peak in 3rd

quarter 2014, the number of full time employee equivalents has been reduced by around

70%.

The offshore market is still weak, with generally low visibility and demand, combined with

fierce price competition, and we expect the market to remain challenging throughout

2017 and into 2018. However, the business unit has managed to enter into new

contracts with acceptable margins.

SHIPYARD SOLUTIONS

The 4th quarter results from the business unit is somewhat below the same quarter last year. Total 2016 EBITDA has improved both for Syncrolift, increased from MNOK 13 to MNOK 17 and for Liftec, increased from MNOK 4 to MNOK 8. This confirms a solid market position in the niche market for shiplifts, transfer systems and other logistics solutions for the production industry.

A profit of MNOK 9 from sale of the office/warehouse utilized by TTS Syncrolift AS in 2nd quarter is included in full year result.

TTS Syncrolift, which is a leading ship lift provider, continues its positive trend from previous quarters, with stable positive earnings and order intake.

In 1st quarter 2017, TTS signed an agreement to sell Liftec. The agreed value of the transaction is a gross base price of MEUR 5,8 including net cash, payable at closing, and an earn-out of maximum MEUR 1,8 over the next three years if specific targets are met. The transaction is expected to be completed within the end of February 2017.

SERVICES

Both turnover and EBITDA for the business unit Services in 4th quarter 2016 is

somewhat reduced compared to 4th quarter 2015, influenced by the low charter rates in

several shipping markets.

Although the service market still remains influenced by low ship charter rates and

increased competition, particularly within heavy lift equipment, we see a large potential

for further development of both spare parts sales and servicing based on TTS' worldwide

services network and the substantial installed base of TTS equipment.

The shipbuilding market has experienced significant reduction of activity, with strong competition and price pressure. However, within certain segments, demand and activity are still good. TTS Group is well diversified across market segments, geographical presence and product portfolio. TTS benefits from this position, which gives the company a strong market position in a challenging market.

Short term, the low level in the new-building activity is expected to affect TTS turnover negatively. We see a risk of postponements and cancellations in most business units. In addition to the weak offshore market, we particularly see short-term challenges within the car carrier and heavy lift segments. Although the market for Container/Bulk/Tank also remains challenging, we expect stable turn over in the 100% owned units, but somewhat reduced activity in the 50% owned Chinese companies. The market for ship-lifts remains strong. For the services sector, we see a large potential for further development of both the spare parts sales and the general service activity.

To reduce the cost base for Business unit Multipurpose General Cargo and adapt the operations to the current market, we plan a ramp down of our German manufacturing setup. In February, we announce a restructuring program for the unit. This will add restructuring cost of around MNOK 30, which will hit the first quarter 2017 result.

Long term, a positive development of the market is expected in line with increased demand for seaborne transport. TTS Group has a strong ambition to, as a minimum; maintain its share of the overall market.

At the end of the quarter, the order backlog was NOK 2,7 billion, of which approximately NOK 1,7 billion is expected to be turned into revenue in 2017. This means that about 80% of the expected revenue from new-build activities in 2017 is covered by existing contracts. Expected turnover from the business unit Services is not included in the Group's reported order backlog.

TTS Group has a well-established market position as one of the three largest suppliers within its market segments. The company’s strong position in China provides a good foothold in the world's largest shipbuilding market, which accounts for 40% of the global shipbuilding. In its further development of a robust strategy on "stand alone" basis, TTS Group focuses on customer base, improving operations, increasing flexibility and reducing cost in order to meet the market competition and increase profitability.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by TTS:

IFRS 9

IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS39, and is effective from the annual reporting beginning after 1 January 2018. The fair value hedge structure applied by TTS Group is set within the framework of IAS39. TTS is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS 9, but do not expect any major change or impact on the consolidated financial statements.

As per 31 December 2016 the market value of FX-derivatives qualifying as fair value hedges is negative by MNOK 43.

IFRS 15

IFRS 15 provides a renewed basis for defining revenue recognition principles, affecting both nature, timing, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from an entity's contracts with customers.

IFRS 15 is effective from the annual reporting beginning after 1 January 2018.

TTS is currently assessing the impact from IFRS 15, both related to revenue recognition and impact on customer contracts. The new definition is expected to postpone revenue and margin recognition from customer projects within the RoRo/Cruise/Navy, Offshore, Multipurpose/General Cargo, and Shipyard Solutions segments.

The new definitions are expected to have a marginal impact on revenue and margin recognition coming from the segments reflecting our Container/Bulk/Tank, Services and Other.

IFRS 16

IFRS 16 principally require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases.

IFRS 16 is effective from the annual reporting beginning after 1 January 2018.

TTS is currently assessing the impact from IFRS 16. As set out in note 6 to the annual report 2015, committed nominal lease payments at the end of 2015 was MNOK 269, of which MNOK 55 has been paid in 2016.

Based on the current structure of lease contracts, a 10% discount rate and 3,5% annual increase in nominal leases, our lease assets and lease liabilities as per 1 January will increase by approximately MNOK 160.

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Reporting entity

TTS Group ASA is registered and domiciled in Norway, and the head office is located in Bergen.

The consolidated financial statements cover TTS Group ASA including its subsidiaries. There has been no change in consolidated companies from Q3-2016 to Q4-2016. During 1st half of 2016, TTS Group established new subsidiaries, which is a part of the overall Service Network expansion. The new subsidiaries are located in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and in Antwerp (Belgium).

As of 2nd quarter 2015, changes in the joint venture agreement related to the jointly owned 50/50% company TTS Hua Hai Co Ships Equipment Co Ltd. in China, required TTS to change its consolidation method from the equity method to full consolidation. Operation in TTS SCM commenced as of 2nd quarter 2015, and the company is fully consolidated into TTS accounts.

Jointly controlled and associated companies are accounted for using the equity method.

The Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 on 19 April 2016.

The annual report 2015 including the consolidated financial statements for the TTS Group, the separate financial statements for TTS Group ASA and the auditors' opinion from KPMG, are available at our website www.ttsgroup.com

Basis of preparation

TTS Group’s financial reports are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for 4th quarter 2016 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The interim accounts do not include all the information required for a full financial statement and should therefore be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements of 2015.

The accounting principles applied are the same as those described in the consolidated financial statements of 2015.

This condensed consolidated 4th quarter interim report of 2016 was approved by the Board on 14 February 2017.

Judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the interim report requires the use of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual future outcome may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these consolidated interim financial statements, the key assessments made by the management in applying the Group’s accounting principles and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year that ended 31 December 2015.

NOTE 6. TAX

TTS Group is taxable in more than one jurisdiction based on its operations. A loss in one jurisdiction may not be offset against taxable income in another jurisdiction. Thus, the Group may pay tax within some jurisdictions even though it might have an overall loss or have tax losses exceeding taxable profit at the consolidated level.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax reflects the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. The net recognized deferred tax consists of the following:

Recognized deferred tax asset primarily relates to tax losses in the Norwegian and German companies, as well as short term tax differences from the Chinese companies. The criteria that have been utilized to estimate that future taxable profit can be utilized have been unchanged during the year.

Other intangible assetsGoodwill

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

TTS Group tests the value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually or at the end of each reporting period if any indication that the assets may be impaired.

TTS shares are freely traded at Oslo Stock Exchange. Closing price of last trading date in December 2016 was NOK 3,78 per share, indicating a nominal trade value of TTS of MNOK 327.

Book value of equity at 31 December 2016 was MNOK 439 excluding minority interest.

At the end of the current reporting period, TTS Group has not identified any changes in the overall financial market that give basis for a significant change in the average cost of capital.

The CGU "NMF", which was acquired in the 3rd quarter of 2012, encompass the activities within the legal entities TTS NMF GmbH - Germany, and TTS SCM - China. EBITDA in the 4th quarter 2016, excluding impairments, is around zero, a marginal improvement from the same quarter last year. The weak EBITDA margin reflects customer-initiated delays in project deliveries, combined with a slow market, which reduces overall utilization. Low charter rates combined with available unutilized tonnage from other marine sectors have delayed or cancelled investment prospects in new tonnage relevant to the CGU, which is reflected in a low order intake during 2016. TTS expects that the turnaround of the heavy lift market, as well as the development of the offshore wind installation market will take longer time than previously expected. Consequently, the book value of goodwill allocated to the CGU has been impaired by MNOK 82 in 4th quarter 2016.

An additional impairment of fixed assets by MNOK 16, and inventories by MNOK 20, in the CGU in 4th quarter 2016 reflects a reduction of short-term/mid-term utilization of resources.

During the past two years, the CGU "Offshore Solutions" in TTS has experienced substantial losses, combined with a low order intake. Changes in the segment structure combined with market conditions which remain challenging, gave basis for impairment of goodwill in 2015. The market development in 2016 is still weak. The book value of intangible assets in BUOFF is approximately MNOK 10 with a planned straight-line depreciation of close to MNOK 4 per year.

The CGU "Liftec" is a well-recognized supplier within the European niche market for translifters based on the activities within the legal entity TTS Liftec Oy. Based on market outlook and margins at yearend 2015, an impairment of goodwill of MEUR 2 (~MNOK 19) was allocated to the 4th quarter 2015. As of 2 February 2017, TTS Group has entered into a sales agreement of the shares in TTS Liftec OY. The sale is expected to give basis for a gain allocated to 1st quarter 2017. The gain reflects the company's improved performance and market development during 2016 compared to expectations at year-end 2015.

The CGU "Marine AB" has over the past years delivered improving turnover, and acceptable project margins. In 2016, we see a decrease in turnover and margin compared to last year. The reduction of margin is an effect of changes in the product mix, as well as losses on a few specific projects. Going forward, the Group expects lower new orders and risk of delays on existing orders in the market for car carriers. Although this is replaced by higher activity in the market for RoPax and Cruise, we expect a significantly lower turnover in this segment in 2017. Even after taking reduced market expectations into account, the expected future net cash flows from the CGU support that value in use exceeds book value.

TTS Group considers that there are no major events, changes in assumptions or other new information indicating a change in the valuation of goodwill or other intangible assets from year-end 2015 in the other business segments. Estimates related to future market expectations could have material impact on the impairment test.

Overview of goodwill and other intangible assets (excl. deferred tax asset) are as follows:

NOTE 8. NON-CURRENT ASSETS

NOTE 9. EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS

As per 31 December 2016, equity accounted investments include TTS Bo Hai Machinery Co Ltd. in which TTS Group ASA holds 50% of the shares, and Jiangnan TTS Ships Equipment Manufacturing Co Ltd. in which TTS Hua Hai Ltd. holds a 40% share portion. Both units are reported as part of the Container/Bulk/Tank segment. Losses in 2016 relates to the running operation of the steel production factory in Jiangnan.

TTS recorded an MNOK 16 impairment of fixed assets in the Multipurpose/ General Cargo segment in 4th quarter 2016. Higher cost of producing standardized heavy lift equipment in European high-cost countries has a negative impact on competitiveness, and hence on equipment utilization. The impairment reflects an expected reduction of utilization of the production equipment in Hamburg.
