Songa Offshore Group Third Quarter Report 2015
Review of financial results, financing and financial position
of the Group for the third quarter 2015
Financial results
Operating revenue in the third quarter 2015 was USD 99.7 million, compared to USD 91.1 million in the third quarter
2014. The increase is primarily due to higher revenue contribution from Songa Dee as the rig was partly in yard for
its Special Periodic Survey (SPS) in the third quarter 2014.
Other revenue in the third quarter 2015 was USD 10.8 million, compared to USD 10.7 million in the third quarter
2014.
Total revenue in the third quarter 2015 was USD 124.2 million, compared to USD 109.6 million in the third quarter
2014. The main reason for the increase is the same as described above.
Operating expenses were USD 37.9 million, compared to USD 49.1 million in the corresponding prior year quarter,
primarily explained by USD 9.2 million of favourable currency fluctuation from stronger USD, and USD 2.2 million
lower operating expenses related to the three operating rigs.
General and Administrative (G&A) expenses were USD 9.8 million compared to USD 11.7 million in the
corresponding prior year quarter. The decrease is mainly explained by lower South East Asia administration cost
of USD 1.0 million and favourable currency fluctuation.
EBITDA was USD 63.8 million compared to USD 42.1 million in the corresponding prior year quarter. This
represents an EBITDA margin of 51%, compared to 38% in the third quarter 2014, reflecting the aforementioned
changes.
Depreciation was USD 32.5 million, compared to USD 27.6 million in the corresponding prior year quarter expense.
The higher depreciation mainly reflects the 2014 Songa Dee SPS expenditures that are depreciated over five years.
During the third quarter 2015, the Company incurred an impairment charge of USD 328.3 million related to Songa
Dee, Songa Delta and Songa Trym, primarily reflecting the negative developments both in the global and the
Norwegian Continental Shelf drilling markets.
Loss before Interest and Tax (EBIT) was USD 296.9 million compared to a profit of USD 13.2 million in the same
period in 2014, resulting from the above changes.
Finance income was USD 1.4 million in the third quarter 2015. USD 1.3 million is related to interest income on
financial assets related to the Songa Mercur and Songa Venus transaction that are recorded at a discounted value.
Finance expenses in the third quarter 2015 were USD 4.4 million compared to USD 9.5 million in the third quarter
2014. The decrease in expensed finance cost is primarily explained by the additional capitalization of the finance
cost related to Cat D new-builds.
Other financial items were negative by USD 14.2 million in the third quarter 2015. USD 17.6 million represents
realized foreign exchange losses in the third quarter in relation to foreign exchange forward transactions. This is
partly offset by a gain of USD 3.4 million primarily related to unrealized mark-to-market valuation changes of foreign
exchange forward transactions and balance sheet item revaluations. All items are reflecting the continued
appreciation of the US Dollar vs. the Norwegian Kroner during third quarter.
Loss before tax in the third quarter 2015 was USD 314.1 million compared to a profit of USD 3.4 million in the
corresponding prior year quarter.
Income tax expense in the third quarter 2015 was USD 3.3 million compared to USD 2.3 million in the third quarter
2014. Tax charges for the quarter were mainly of a non-cash nature and related to the Norwegian operations.
Loss in the third quarter 2015 was USD 317.5 million, compared to a profit of USD 1.1 million in the third quarter
2014.

Financing
Cash position
During the third quarter of 2015, the Group’s unrestricted cash position decreased by USD 13.4 million from USD
168.6 million in the second quarter to USD 155.2 million. This is primarily reflecting new financing of USD 455.0
million and USD 95.2 million in cash flow from operations, partly offset by USD 524.4 million of capital expenditures,
primarily related to Songa Endurance, debt repayments of USD 19.0 million and cash outflows of USD 20.2 million
related to interest payments.
Songa Endurance credit facilities
In connection with the delivery of Songa Endurance on 24 August 2015 the Company utilized all credit facilities
related to the rig. These fully utilized facilities total USD 507 million and consist of USD 387 million of senior facilities
and USD 120 million of junior facilities, of which USD 52 million were already drawn.
Financial covenants
As of 30 September 2015, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants under its loan and bond
agreements. Due to the impairment charge in third quarter 2015, as well as the balance sheet build-up from the
upcoming Cat D 3 and 4 deliveries, financial covenants related to book equity will potentially come under pressure
in 2016 when all Cat Ds are delivered. In this respect, the Company has had discussions with lenders and is working
towards a conclusion on the matter during fourth quarter 2015.
Rig Operations
All Songa Offshore’s operating rigs are working for Statoil on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The three rigs had
an operational efficiency of 100.0% in the third quarter 2015. The average earnings efficiency was 97.6% in the
quarter.
Songa Dee achieved an operating efficiency of 100.0% during the third quarter 2015 and an earnings efficiency of
97.2%.
Songa Delta achieved an operating efficiency of 100.0% during the third quarter 2015 and an earnings efficiency
of 98.7%.
Songa Trym achieved an operating efficiency of 100.0% during the third quarter 2015 and an earnings efficiency
of 96.8%.
On 2 November 2015 the Company received a notice of cancellation of the drilling contract with Statoil for Songa
Trym effective from when the current well is completed around 12 November 2015. The Company will receive a
contractual cancellation fee based on the current full day rate of USD 377,000 and the contractual end date early
March 2016.

Cat D New build Projects
Songa Equinox was delivered from DSME on 30 June 2015 and arrived in Fensfjorden, Norway on 24 October
2015. All third party equipment was installed before the rig arrived in Norway. Currently the rig is carrying out the
client’s Acceptance Test Program prior to contract commencement, targeted for end November 2015.
Songa Endurance was delivered from DSME on 24 August 2015. It has completed the third leg of its transit from
Korea to Norway and is currently in transit from Walvis Bay to Las Palmas. The rig is expected to arrive in Norway
late November 2015. All third party equipment will be installed on the rig before it arrives in Norway. Upon arrival
in Norway, the Songa Endurance will carry out the same acceptance tests as Songa Equinox.
The application for Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) for Songa Equinox was submitted to Petroleum Safety
Authorities Norway PSA(N) early March 2015, and the Songa Endurance’s application was submitted early August
2015. PSA audit and inspections have taken place at DSME with final verifications to take place shortly after rig
arrival in Norway.
The construction progress for Songa Encourage and Songa Enabler as per end of September 2015 was 92.2%
and 79.6% respectively. Delivery of Songa Encourage is scheduled in late November 2015, while Songa Enabler
is targeted to be delivered in the first half of the first quarter 2016.
The “ready-to-drill” cost estimates have not materially changed at an average of approximately USD 690 million
per rig, excluding deductible liquidated damages and costs for assisting tugs for the transit to Norway. Songa
Offshore will in addition receive USD 40 million per rig from Statoil in mobilization fee in relation to delivery. The
Company has received the mobilization fee for both Songa Equinox and Songa Endurance in August and
September 2015 respectively.
Cat D arbitration case with DSME
In July 2015, Songa Offshore received from DSME notices of arbitration in respect of the construction contracts for
the Cat D rigs. Since announcing the arbitration, DSME has not presented neither amount nor details of its claim.
DSME has previously alleged that the design documents (often referred to as the FEED package) contained
inherent errors and omissions, which, in turn, DSME asserted to have caused it to undertake extra work resulting
in delays and cost overruns. DSME considers that those delays and cost overruns are the responsibility of Songa
Offshore.
As previously reported, the Company will vigorously defend its position, since it is of the view that DSME is
responsible for the delays and any attempt to recover cost overruns is of no merit due to the "turn-key" nature of
the construction contracts. Songa Offshore has continued to prepare its case and remains confident of its position.
In this respect, the Company has obtained legal opinions from highly reputable law firms in the UK and Norway and
from a Queen's Counsel all of which confirm the Company’s position.

Market conditions and outlook
The Brent Crude Oil has continued to trend around USD 50 per barrel. The North Sea drilling market is still very
challenging with only a few short-term contacts in the market, both on the NCS and in the UK. As a result, several
rigs have come off contract and been stacked during the quarter. Visibility is still low and the competition for the
few tenders in the market is fierce. Songa Offshore is of the view that 2016 and 2017 will be two challenging years
for the industry.

Songa Offshore Group Third Quarter Report 2015
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 General information
In furtherance of a shareholder-approved plan to re-domicile to Cyprus, on 12 December 2008, Songa Offshore
ASA was converted into a European public company limited by shares (“Societas Europaea” or “SE”) in accordance
with Article 2 no. 1 of the European Council Regulation no. 2157/2001(the “SE Regulation”) and Section 5 of the
Norwegian Act on European Companies of 1 April 2005 (the “SE Act”). The conversion into an SE was effected
through a merger between Songa Offshore ASA and Songa Offshore Cyprus Plc. Effective 11 May 2009, the
survivor of the merger, Songa Offshore SE, transferred its registered office to Cyprus in accordance with Article 8
of the SE Regulation and Section 7 of the SE Act (the “re-domiciliation”).
Songa Offshore SE is a public limited liability company, subject to the laws and regulations of the Cyprus
Companies Law, Cap. 113. The address of its registered office is: 4, Profiti Elia, Kanika International Business
Centre, 6th Floor, Germasogeia. The Company’s shares have been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 26
January 2006 with the ticker SONG.
Songa Offshore SE (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, “Songa Offshore” of “the Group”) are engaged
in the business of constructing, owning and operating drilling rigs to be used in exploration and production.
Songa Offshore operates in the international oil service industry within the offshore drilling sector, and owns and
operates a fleet of three semi-submersible rigs, Songa Dee, Songa Delta and Songa Trym, all operating in the midwater segment in the Norwegian part of the North Sea. Drilling rigs, related equipment and crews are generally
contracted on a day rate basis to exploration and production companies. The Songa Mercur and the Songa Venus,
both previously owned 100% by Songa Offshore, now owned 100% by the Opus Offshore Group, are operated in
South East Asia through a 50% owned Joint Venture established with Opus Offshore Group.
In addition to the three semisubmersible drilling rigs in operation, Songa Offshore took delivery of Songa Equinox
on 30 June 2015 and Songa Endurance on 24 August 2015. Furthermore, Songa Offshore has two
semisubmersible Cat D drilling rigs, Songa Encourage and Songa Enabler, under construction at the DSME yard
in Korea.
Songa Dee, Songa Delta, Songa Trym, Songa Equinox and Songa Endurance and the remaining two rigs under
construction, are contracted for employment in Norwegian waters, with Statoil as charterer.
The Company is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, and the Norwegian rig operations are managed from
Stavanger, Norway.
2 Basis for preparation

34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which have been prepared in accordance

3 Accounting policies
The condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention except from the revaluation of certain financial instruments.
In the current period, the Group has adopted all new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on

4 Financial risk management and financial instruments
Financial Risk
Through its activities the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk, foreign currency risk, interest
rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk arising from its operations and the financial instruments that it holds. The
Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group makes use of derivative
financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps to moderate certain risk
exposures.
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and
disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s
consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2014.

Songa Offshore Group Third Quarter Report 2015
Level 1
Fair value is measured using list prices from active markets for identical financial instruments. No adjustment is
made with a view to these prices.
Level 2
The fair value of financial instruments not traded on an active market is determined using valuation methods which
maximize the use of observable data, where available, and rest as little as possible on the Group’s own estimates.
Classification at level 2 presupposes that all the significant data required to determine fair value are observable
data.
Level 3
Fair value is not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
