following
factors,
and
others
which
are
discussed
in
our
public
filings
and
submissions
with
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission,
are
among
those
that
may
cause
actual

future
results
and
trends
to
differ
materially
from
our
forward-looking
statements:
actions
by
regulatory
authorities
or
other
third
parties;
unanticipated
costs
and
difficulties
related
to
the
integration
of
Acergy
S.A.
and
Subsea
7
Inc.
and
our
ability
to
achieve
benefits
therefrom;
unanticipated
delays,
costs
and
difficulties
related
to
the
combination
transaction,
including
satisfaction
of
closing
conditions;
our
ability
to
recover
costs
on
significant
projects;
the
general
economic
conditions
and
competition
in
the
markets
and
businesses
in
which
we
operate;
our
relationship
with
significant
clients;
the
outcome
of
legal
and
administrative
proceedings
or
governmental
enquiries;
uncertainties
inherent
in
operating
internationally;
the
timely
delivery
of
ships
on
order
and
the
timely
completion
of
ship
conversion
programmes;
the
impact
of
laws
and
regulations;
and
operating
hazards,
including
spills
and
environmental
damage.
Many
of
these
factors
are
beyond
our
ability
to
control
or
predict.
Given
these
factors,
you
should
not
place
undue
reliance
on
the
forward-looking
statements.

Market overview and outlook
Continued robust oil price and high levels of tendering activities underpins strong order
book momentum
North Sea: record levels of tendering and increasing activity; signs of an improving
pricing environment; well placed to benefit from opportunities
West Africa: a number of major contracts expected to come to market award late 2011
and early 2012
Gulf of Mexico: activity levels building slowly; timing of improvements uncertain
Brazil: more opportunities ahead; well placed to capture a number of these
opportunities
Asia Pacific: significant gas-driven SURF contracts in Australia expected to come to
market award in 2011 and 2012
Comfortable with the outlook for the current financial year
In
a
growing
market
and
with
the
benefits
of
the
combination,
we
look
forward
with
confidence to capturing further opportunities

Adjusted EBITDA
The
Group
calculates
adjusted
earnings
before
interest,
income
taxation,
depreciation
and
amortisation
(‘Adjusted
EBITDA’)
from
continuing
operations
as
net
income
from
continuing
operations
plus
finance
costs,
other
gains
and
losses,
taxation,
depreciation
and
amortisation
and
adjusted
to
exclude
investment
income
and
impairment
of
property,
plant
and
equipment
and
intangibles.
Adjusted
EBITDA
margin
from
continuing
operations
is
defined
as
Adjusted
EBITDA
divided
by
revenue
from
continuing
operations.
Adjusted
EBITDA
for
discontinued
operations
is
calculated
as
per
the
methodology
outlined
above.
Adjusted
EBITDA
for
total
operations
is
the
total
of
continuing
operations
and
discontinued
operations.
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
a
non-IFRS
measure
that
represents
EBITDA
before
additional
specific
items
that
are
considered
to
hinder
comparison
of
the
Group’s
performance
either
year-on-year
or
with
other
businesses.
The
additional
specific
items
excluded
from
Adjusted
EBITDA
are
other
gains
and
losses
and
impairment
of
property,
plant
and
equipment
and
intangibles.
These
items
are
excluded
from
Adjusted
EBITDA
because
they
are
individually
or
collectively
material
items
that
are
not
considered
representative
of
the
performance
of
the
businesses
during
the
periods
presented.
Other
gains
and
losses
principally
relate
to
disposals
of
property,
plant
and
equipment
and
net
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses.
Impairments
of
property,
plant
and
equipment
represent
the
excess
of
the
assets’
carrying
amount
over
the
amount
that
is
expected
to
be
recovered
from
their
use in the future.
The
Adjusted
EBITDA
measures
and
Adjusted
EBITDA
margins
have
not
been
prepared
in
accordance
with
International
Financial
Reporting
Standards
(‘IFRS’)
as
issued
by
the
International
Accounting
Standards
Board
as
adopted
for
use
in
the
European
Union.
These
measures
exclude
items
that
can
have
a
significant
effect
on
the
Group’s
profit
or
loss
and
therefore
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to,
or
more
meaningful
than,
net
income
(as
determined
in
accordance
with
IFRS)
as
a
measure
of
the
Group’s
operating
results
or
cash
flows
from
operations
(as
determined
in
accordance
with
IFRS)
as
a
measure
of
the
Group’s
liquidity.
Management
believes
that
Adjusted
EBITDA
and
Adjusted
EBITDA
margin
from
continuing
operations
are
important
indicators
of
the
operational
strength
and
the
performance
of
the
business.
These
non-IFRS
measures
provide
management
with
a
meaningful
comparison
amongst
its
various
regions,
as
they
eliminate
the
effects
of
financing
and
depreciation.
Management
believes
that
the
presentation
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
from
continuing
operations
is
also
useful
as
it
is
similar
to
measures
used
by
companies
within
Subsea
7’s
peer
group
and
therefore
believes
it
to
be
a
helpful
calculation
for
those
evaluating
companies
within
Subsea
7’s
industry.
Adjusted
EBITDA
margin
from
continuing
operations
may
also
be
a
useful
ratio
to
compare
performance
to
its
competitors
and
is
widely
used
by
shareholders
and
analysts
following
the
Group’s
performance.
Notwithstanding
the
foregoing,
Adjusted
EBITDA
and
Adjusted
EBITDA
margin
from
continuing
operations
as
presented
by
the
Group
may
not
be
comparable
to
similarly
titled
measures
reported
by
other
companies.
