started divestment of non-core business segments (road

freight transportation and bus operations), enabling a stronger

focus on core business throughout the organization. At the

Current contracted backlog of NOK 21bn of fixed revenue with minimal price and volume risk provide long term visibility

• 11 of the 22 contracts are gross contracts, i.e., Fjord1 receives a pre-agreed contribution and has no risk on transported volume or ticket revenue

• Remaining 11 contracts are net contracts, where Fjord1 is somewhat more dependent on the transportation volume. Most new contracts expected to be on gross structure

• Indexation provisions are included in the contracts, protecting the company from cost-inflation risk

Current contract portfolio

Note(*): 16 of the contracts are operated today, whereas remaining 6 will be initiated in coming years. Two of the contracts are operated by sub-suppliers, whereof Flakk-Rørvik is operated by Fosen Namsos and Refsnes-Flesnes is operated by Torghatten Note (**): The Nordfjord and Ytre Sogn contract are included in the new contract for Fylkesvegsamband Sogn & Fjordane with Fjord1 as operator

LARGE FLEET OF VESSELS Modern fleet with diverse capacity distribution

Fjord1’s sizeable fleet provides large flexibility and a strong competitive advantage as a number of contracts contain requirements for one or more back-up ferries in the event of engine failures and other operational disruptions

• In order to satisfy with this requirement, not all of the Company’s ferries are in day-to-day operations

• In times of free capacity, the company may charter vessels to third parties

Fjord1 has a fleet of 61 ferries with a total capacity of 5,112 passenger car equivalents

13 ferries currently under construction and contracts awarded for another 6 vessels

The average size of Fjord1’s fleet is 84 PCE, with size ranging from 242 PCE to 11 PCE

Car ferries typically have a useful operating life of up to 50 years and are usually depreciated over a 30-year period

WELL POSITIONED ON UPCOMING TENDERS Strong track record and on the forefront regarding environmentally friendly technology

In terms of PCE capacity, contracts in respect of about 40% of the Norwegian ferry market will be subject to public tenders in the next two to three years

Fjord1 has a strategic priority to maintain and strengthen the leading position within ferry business

The company has the required solidity, track record, competence, balance strength and technological solutions to be an active contender

Well positioned to retain existing contracts by use of existing material and new environmental friendly technology

Fjord1 believes that it has gained significant advantages by being at a technological forefront, having commenced operation of its first LNG ferries in 2007 and being due to commence operation of its fully electric connection in 2018

Fjord1’s incumbent position on the majority of the contracts up for renewal, provides the company with a strong ability to defend its existing contracts

MARKET WITH HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY Consolidated market dominated by four players

The Norwegian ferry- and passenger boat market has gone

through comprehensive consolidation recent years on the

back of the market transitioning from being a public service

offering (owned by county municipalities) to becoming a

competitive business provided by private companies

The ferry market is dominated by four ferry operators;

Fjord1, Torghatten, Norled and Boreal Transport, who

combined represent 99% of the market in terms of PCE

capacity

Of the ~120 ferry connections in Norway, the ten largest

amounted to 16.6m PCE in 2016, representing 47% of the

total number of PCE transported

The market is further characterized by strong barriers to

entry, limiting the entry of potential new market participants

• Significant capital investments in existing fleet

• CAPEX intensity requires financial strength

• Industry specific knowledge and necessary certifications

• Organization to handle chartering, operations and technical

matters

Note (*): Data as of March 2017 Note (**): Torghatten includes connections operated by Toghatten Trafikkselskap, Torghatten Nord, Bastø Fosen and Fosen Namsos Sjø.

FERRIES CONNECT NORWAY Ferries are critical in connecting islands to the mainland

The Norwegian coast is the 2nd

longest in the World (100,915 km) and

includes 239,057 registered islands

and 1,190 named fjords

Ferry services are a critical part of

Norwegian public transportation,

crossing the fjords and connecting

islands to the mainland

• Car ferries are vital links across fjords

and to islands where there are no fixed

connections

• Engineering considerations often result

in immensely expensive bridge and

tunnel infrastructure

Ferries are also used as a substitute

in the Norwegian road network

• Cost efficient and flexible transportation

system compared to the alternatives

• Where road alternatives exist, they are

often very inconvenient alternatives, as

this option can take 2-6 times as long

ROBUST, NON-CYCLICAL MARKET Demand expected to remain stable with limited threats going forward

Today, the Norwegian domestic ferry market consists of

around 120 connections served by around 220 ferries

In 2016, ferries in Norway transported 35m passenger

car equivalents (“PCE”) and 43.2m passengers

(including drivers)

Demand for transportation by ferries has exhibited a

fairly steady growth rate over time and the Norwegian

ferry market is characterised by limited cyclicality due to

the critical nature of the ferry connections

Future demand for ferries mainly driven by two opposing

factors

• Population growth and economic development

• Construction of new bridges and tunnels entailing closure of

ferry connections

There are limited number of ferry connections where

there are concrete plans for new bridges or tunnels

• 9 identified infrastructure projects on larger ferry

connections, of which only 2 are approved

• Oslo Economics estimate a minimum of 30 years to

complete projects

• Generally, expensive and time consuming projects of which

many are deemed socioeconomically unprofitable

KEY TRENDS IN THE FERRY MARKET Shift to environmentally friendly technology, less price volatility and larger contracts

Source: tu.no

Impact on ferry operators Current market trends

Higher requirements for environmentally friendly

technology on the back of the Norwegian

government implementing a strategy to reduce

emissions from the state ferry operations

Contracts will demand low and zero emission

technology where circumstances permit such

requirements

Increased requirements for battery and/or hybrid

powered ferries

Increases differentiation among ferry competitors.

Ferry operators with technological advanced and

adaptable fleet with favourable positioning.

Operators will need to adapt to the requirements and

will likely lead to a gradual renewal of the ferry fleet,

in particularly on shorter crossings that are better

suited for such energy packages

Quality &

environment

Over the last few years there has been a transition

from net to gross contract terms

Indexation on new contracts adjusted according to

the Ferry Index compared to previously regulation

by the CPI index

More stable environment for operators as income is

not directly dependent on the amount of passengers

Pricing

model

Contract sizes are growing – when smaller route

bundles are freed they tend to be consolidated into

larger contracts

Cost reduction is easier with larger contracts Larger

contracts

INCOME STATEMENT

Growth from 2015 to 2016 driven by the start-up of two new contracts

Improvement in operating expenses driven by focus on stability and safety resulting in reduced marine accidents (collisions with quays and running aground) by nearly 96%

In April 2015, the tourism activities were separated into a joint venture company and thus accounted for under share of profit/(loss) from joint ventures

For 2015 and 2016 reversals of impairments accounted for NOK 65.1m and NOK 78.6m respectively. Reversals related to settlement regarding compensation for “Autopass” under the contracts for Indre Sogn and Flakk-Rørvik

Note (*): Financials for 2013 and 2014 are prepared under Norwegian GAAP while financials for 2015, 2016 and Q1 2017 are prepared under IFRS and are thus not comparable Note (**): Under IFRS, public contribution is accounted for as other income, whereas ticket revenues are booked as operating revenue

BALANCE SHEET

Increase in non-current assets from 2015 to 2016 mainly due to delivery of two new vessels

Increase in borrowings was mainly related to debt financing for these vessels

The company´s main debt facility was classified as current liabilities in the accounts for 2016 and Q1 2017 due to short term to maturity

The negative working capital can be explained by Fjord1’s business model where customers use a travelcards solution. The prepayment of tickets are classified as short-term debt and as a working capital liability

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS (1/3)

Market related risks

Changes in national and international economic conditions, including, for example interest rate levels, inflation, employment levels, may influence the valuation of real and financial assets. In turn, this may impact the demand for goods, services and assets globally and thereby the macro economy. The current macroeconomic situation is uncertain and there is a risk of negative developments. Such changes and developments – none of which will be within the control of the Company – may negatively impact the Company's investment activities, realization opportunities and overall investor returns.

The demand for, and the pricing of the underlying assets are outside of the Company's control and depend, among other things, on the global economy, global trade growth, as well as oil and gas prices. On the supply side there are uncertainties tied to ordering of new vessels and scope of future scrapping. The actual residual value of the vessels in the underlying investments, and/or their earnings after expiration of the fixed contract terms, may be lower than the Company estimates.

Changes in legal, tax and regulatory regimes within the relevant jurisdictions may occur during the life of the Company which may have an adverse effect on the Company.

Financial risks

The Company’s committed and any future loan facilities will impose, operating and financial restrictions on the Company. The restrictions may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on its assets, sell its vessels, and additional actions which may otherwise be beneficial for the Company. Nordea has reserved the right to amend the financial covenants if the Company did not refinance its existing debt within 31 July 2017, and consequently such right does now exist.

The Company will finance its assets in part by borrowed funds. There is a risk that income from the assets obtained with borrowed funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of borrowings and that the net income of the Company will be negatively affected by such borrowing arrangements.

NOK is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is mainly exposed to foreign currency risk related to purchase of ferries and passenger boats. Major fluctuations in the foreign currency market for NOK in relation to USD and/or EUR could have a negative impact on the Company.

The Company may engage in certain hedging transactions which are intended to reduce the currency or interest rate exposure; however, there would normally be no obligation to enter into any such transactions. Any such hedging transaction may be imperfect, leaving the Company indirectly exposed to some risk from the position that was intended to be protected. The successful use of hedging strategies depends upon the availability of a liquid market and appropriate hedging instruments and there can be no assurance that the underlying subsidiaries will be able to close out a position when deemed advisable.

Any changes in the underlying interest rate would directly affect the returns on the underlying investments. Interest rate levels can also indirectly affect the value of the assets at the point of sale. This will impact the value of the Company's portfolio.

32

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS (2/3)

Commercial and Operational risks

The price and supply of bunker fuel are unpredictable and fluctuate based on events outside the Company’s control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil, actions by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns and regulations. Depending on the employment of the Company’s vessels, the Company may be exposed to the fluctuating bunker prices.

All contracts are associated with considerable risks and responsibilities. These include technical, operational, commercial and political risks. The Company will obtain insurance deemed adequate for its business, but it is impossible to insure against all applicable risks and liabilities. Consequently, the Company may assume substantial liabilities as part of its operations.

There are numerous risks associated with construction of the Company's new builds, including risks of delay, risks of termination of the shipbuilding contracts by yard, the risk of need for variation orders and amendments resulting in additional need for capital, the ability of the yard to perform its duties under the shipbuilding contracts, and the risk of failure by key suppliers to deliver necessary equipment. Delays in delivery of the new builds may affect the Company’s potential revenue, or potentially lose contracts from clients.

The Company’s focus on the further development and implementation of new zero or low emission power technology implies a higher degree of risk that the relevant ferries do not function as intended, compared to older and tested technology. There is further a risk that sub suppliers are not able to provide adequate and relevant deliveries, e.g. sufficient charging facilities. This may lead to failure to comply with the terms of the relevant contracts, e.g. in respect of breach of the environmental requirements under the contracts or traffic delays. The reconstruction of docks to facilitate the construction of charging towers and other infrastructure may be affected in a manner that may lead to non-compliance with the environmental requirements in the new contracts.

Repairs and maintenance costs for vessels are inherently difficult to predict and may be substantially higher than expected.

The Company’s development and prospects are dependent upon the continued services and performance of its senior management and other key personnel. The loss of the services of any of the senior management or key personnel may have an adverse impact on the Company. In addition to the senior management the Company depends on professional and operational personnel that are not currently employed by the Company. An inability to attract and retain such professional and operational personnel, or the unavailability of such skilled crews, could have an adverse impact on the Company.

As the Company’s majority of assets are concentrated in a single industry, the Company may be more vulnerable to particular economic, political, regulatory, environmental or other developments than would a company holding a more diversified portfolio of assets and the aggregate return of the Company will be substantially adversely affected by the unfavourable performance of a single asset.

For certain new contracts there is a risk related to vessels with new technology performing in accordance with specific energy requirements in the contracts, where non-compliance could affect contract profitability.

Contracts are normally awarded for a period of 5-10 years, certain with additional option periods. There is a risk that option periods for current tenders will not be exercised and/or that new tenders are not awarded the Company. The long term of contracts imply a risk for committing to potentially unprofitable projects for a long period of time, should the Company be erroneous in its calculations and/or assumptions forming the basis for the offers made in the respective tender process.

The Company's investment rate may be delayed or progress at a slower than anticipated rate for a variety of reasons and as a result, there is also no guarantee that the Company will be able to fully invest the required amount in respect of a particular investment opportunity. The Company may be competing for appropriate investment opportunities with other participants in the markets. It is possible that the level of such competition may increase, which may reduce the number of opportunities available to the Company and/or adversely affect the terms upon which such investments can be made by the Company. In addition, such competition may have an adverse effect on the length of time required to fully invest the Company.

The Company has completed a limited legal and financial due diligence prior to admission to trading. No commercial due diligence has been performed. Any due diligence information may be erroneous, incomplete and/or misleading, and there can be no assurance that all material issues have been uncovered.

Although the Company's management will monitor the performance of each investment, the Company will rely upon the technical and day-to-day management of the assets. There can be no assurance that such management will operate successfully.

The Company will make investments in assets that are illiquid and not traded on any regulated market. The realization of such investments may consequently take time and will be exposed to a variety of general and specific market conditions see Section 2.4 below. There can be no assurance that the Company will manage to achieve a successful realisation of its investments.

The Company may only participate in a limited number of investments so that returns might be adversely affected by the poor performance of even a single investment.

The technical operation of a ferry or a passenger boat will have significant impact on the ferry's or the passenger boat's economic life. Thus, technical risks will always be present. There can be no guarantee that the parties tasked with operating a ferry or a passenger boat or overseeing such operation perform their duties according to agreement or satisfaction. Failure to adequately maintain the technical operation of a ferry or a passenger boat may adversely impact the operating expenses of the portfolio investment and accordingly the potential realization values that can be obtained.

The Company provides ferry and passenger boat services to many individuals or companies with limited counterparty risk. However, the performance of an underlying portfolio investment depends heavily on its counterparties' ability to perform their obligations, including the suppliers. Default by a supplier of its obligations under its agreements may have material adverse consequences on the portfolio investment. Thus, the counterparty's financial strength will thus be very important.

All ferries and passenger boats may carry pollutants. Accordingly there will always be certain environmental risks and potential liabilities involved in the ownership of commercial ferries and passenger boats.

It is not expected that the Company will operate in a variety of geographic regions. However, the Company may, indirectly through its underlying investments, be exposed to political risk, risk of piracy, corruption, terrorism, outbreak of war, amongst others. The business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company, indirectly, and its underlying investments directly, may accordingly be negatively affected if such events do occur.

THE FERRY INDEX

Source: SSB, Oslo Economics (report 23/2016)

The Ferry Index is a cost index used to regulate

agreements between ferry operators and the

contractor

• Ferry operators have little or no possibility to influence the general price development related to operations, maintenance and fuel

• It has been deemed appropriate that these risk elements are held by the contractor (the state) through a regulation mechanism

Since 2009, SSB has calculated and published a

cost index, which has been used to regulate all

contracts awarded following the initiation • The Index is calculated based on a fixed set of input

parameters, a pre-agreed calculation method and weighted by importance

• Includes the measurement of change in price of fuel, crew, maintenance, administrative costs, other operating costs, depreciation and interest expenses

• Costs related to operating a contract is subsequently adjusted according to the index development, typically multiplied by 0.9

With the implementation of the Ferry Index, ferry

operators bear limited risk of price increase on key

cost components, thus have a predictable cost

base
