  • Overview of the situation and activity in fiscal year 2023

2.1 GROUP BUSINESS ACTIVITY IN 2023

LNG CARRIERS: ORDER MOMENTUM CONTINUES

After a record year in 2022 in terms of order intake, GTT booked 73 LNG carrier orders in the financial year 2023, 21 of which were booked in the fourth quarter. Their delivery is scheduled between the first quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2029.

An order for two very large ethane carriers was booked in the fourth quarter of 2023, with delivery scheduled between the fourth quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2027.

Additionally, in early 2023, an order was booked for an LNG liquefaction unit (FLNG), which is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2027.

Also, in the first two months of 2024, GTT booked two orders for a total of 23 LNG carriers - including eight very-large capacity carriers - as well as an order for three very large ethane carriers.

LNG AS FUEL

In July 2023, GTT received an order from the Chinese shipyard Yangzijiang to design the cryogenic tanks for ten LNG-powered very large container ships.

TWO NEW AGREEMENTS WITH SHIPYARDS

In November 2023, GTT signed a Technical Assistance and Licensing Agreement with COSCO Shipping (Qidong) Offshore, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping Corporation, and, in December 2023,

In September 2023, a new order for five large container ships was received from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries on behalf of Yang Ming, a Chinese ship-owner.

Delivery of these container ships is scheduled between the second quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2028.

SERVICES TO VESSELS IN OPERATION

In May 2023, GTT signed a Technical Service Agreement with the maritime transportation company Eastern Pacific Shipping and its subsidiary Coolco to support them with the maintenance and operation of a fleet of 33 vessels (24 LNG carriers, six ethane carriers and three container ships).

In October 2023, GTT announced that it had signed a service contract with the ship-owner CMA CGM for the maintenance and

operation of 49 LNG-powered container ships. The contract includes on-site technical support from GTT teams during inspections, maintenance, repairs, operations and engineering services, as well as training and access to the HEARS® emergency hotline. The contract also includes solutions provided by Ascenz Marorka (see below).

ASCENZ MARORKA: NEW CONTRACTS AND LAUNCH OF NEW INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

During 2023, GTT pursued its strategy of developing new digital solutions for ship-owners and signed a number of important contracts, highlighting the increasing needs of ship-owners in this area.

The innovative solutions and new services developed by Ascenz Marorka include:

  • A maintenance-optimisation solution for LNG membrane tanks, known as the "Sloshing Virtual Sensor", which has received an approval in principle from Lloyd's Register. This solution is designed to extend the period between tank inspections by two years, while maintaining strict safety standards.

  • A contract to equip 49 CMA CGM LNG-powered vessels with high-frequency data collection systems, with access to Ascenz Marorka online platform.

ELOGEN

In terms of sales, Elogen continues to implement its selective approach to projects, while posting strong growth in revenues (up 117% to 10.1 million euros at December 31, 2023). In the past financial year, EBITDA showed a controlled level of loss, given the increase in headcounts (+50 employees over the period), to stand at -19.7 million euros, compared to -14.7 million euros in 2022. The Group notes that Elogen's EBITDA is expected to break even from mid-decade.

In early 2023, Elogen won a flagship contract with CrossWind - a joint venture between Shell and Eneco - to build a 2.5 MW electrolyser for an offshore wind farm off the coast of the Netherlands.

In July 2023, Elogen signed its first contract with its Korean partner Valmax for the construction of a 2.5 MW electrolyser. In September 2023, Elogen signed a new contract with Valmax for the construction of a second 2.5 MW electrolyser. With a production capacity of up to one tonne of hydrogen per day each, these two electrolysers will be integrated into mobility projects in Korea.

In December 2023, Elogen, the CNRS and the University of Paris- Saclay announced the creation of a joint laboratory to facilitate the large-scale production of green hydrogen by improving existing electrolysis processes and conducting research on the use of different materials.

Elogen continues to implement its strategy around three imperatives: "Be efficient, be reliable, be ready". Within this framework, Elogen is developing its R&D activities to improve the competitiveness and energy efficiency of its solutions, diversifying its technologies to produce large-scale electrolysers and continuing the development of its network of local partners for Balance-Of-Plant assembly and maintenance. The company is also strengthening its teams, particularly those involved in technical fields and project management. Finally, Elogen is gearing up for industrial scale-up with its Vendôme gigafactory project (part of the Hydrogen IPCEI). Construction began in January 2024.

DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Innovations in the field of LNG carriers

At the start of 2023, GTT obtained several approvals in principle for the adoption of new technologies in the LNG carrier field. A notable example was from Lloyd's Register for a new LNG carrier

design in collaboration with Samsung Heavy Industries, incorporating the three-tank concept developed by GTT and equipped with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system.

Innovations in the field of LNG-fuelled vessels/alternative fuels

In 2023, GTT obtained numerous approvals in principle from classification societies, especially in the area of alternative fuels. The approvals cover the following concepts:

  • a dual-fuel,LNG-powered supertanker (ABS, ClassNK, Bureau Veritas, DNV and Lloyd's' Register);
  • a dual-fuelLNG-powered Suezmax supertanker (ABS, DNV);
  • an LNG tank with an "NH3 ready" rating (ClassNK, DNV);
  • an LNG tank allowing a pressure of up to one barg for LNG-as- fuel applications (ABS);
  • and the RecycoolTM system, applied to LNG-powered vessels, which reliquefies excess boil-off gas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve economic performance (ClassNK).

The Group also obtained a 4.66 million euros subsidy from Bpifrance for the design of an on-board CO2 capture system for vessels, and the development of smart digital ship-management solutions by OSE Engineering(1) (a subsidiary of the GTT Group), as part of the MerVent project(2).

CSR STRATEGY

In February 2024, the Group published its 2024-2026 CSR roadmap(1), and submitted its CO2 emission reduction targets to the SBTi. The roadmap translates today's priorities into future concrete actions to achieve a better future that is aligned with the interests of GTT's customers and employees, as well as those of the wider community and the planet. This roadmap was designed as a performance and progress monitoring tool and will evolve over time.

The GTT Group's CSR strategy is structured around three fundamental axes:

  1. fighting against global warming;
  2. responsible employer;
  3. corporate citizen.

In March 13, 2023, GTT also announced that it had joined the United Nations Global Compact, thereby committing itself to promoting the "Ten Principles" on human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption, and to implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)(2) in its environmental, social and governance policy.

Consolidated revenues for the financial year 2023 stood at

427.7 million euros, up 39.2% compared to 2022, benefitting from the progressive increase in the number of LNG carriers under construction, the growth of Elogen and the services business.

  • Revenues from new builds amounted to 389.5 million euros, up 39.3% compared to revenues in 2022.
    • Royalties from LNG and ethane carriers amounted to
      353.4 million euros, 2.4 million euros for FSUs and 4.1 million euros for onshore storage tanks.

Royalties generated by the LNG-as-fuel business (29.5 million euros, up 334.1%) are now reflecting the large number of orders received in 2021 and 2022.

  • Revenues from Elogen's electrolyser business line amounted to
    1. million euros in the financial year 2023, up 116.6%.
  • Revenues from services were up by 21.8% to stand at
    1. million euros in the financial year 2023, with income from assistance services for vessels in operation and the growth in Ascenz Marorka's activity more than offsetting the decrease in pre-project studies, for which demand is fluctuating by nature.

  1. As of 2023 fiscal year, EBITDA no longer includes provisions for losses on completion (reversal of 0.458 million euros in 2023). The impact on EBITDA 2022 was +3.592 million euros, increasing 2022 EBITDA to 164.7 million euros (vs published 2022 EBITDA figure of 161.1 million euros). Excluding provisions for losses on completion, the 2022 EBITDA margin stood at 53.6%.
  2. Net earnings per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding, i.e. 36,890,466 shares at December 31, 2022 and 36,940,976 shares at December 31, 2023.

In 2023, Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to 234.5 million euros, up 45.6% compared with 2022. This is mainly due to the absence of significant delays in shipbuilding schedules, the increase in revenues from GTT's core business, and sound cost management. The EBITDA margin on revenues was 54.8% in 2023, up compared to 2022. External expenses were up +42.4% compared to 2022, due in particular to the rise in subcontracting and travel costs linked to the increase in activity. Personnel expenses were up by +41.3%, reflecting the increase in headcount at GTT SA and

in the subsidiaries (Elogen, OSE Engineering, GTT China) to support the growth in activity, as well as the overhaul of the compensation scheme (rebalancing between collective and individual components, adjustment of certain remuneration packages to the benchmark) which takes into account the impact of inflation.

Operating income amounted to 223.5 million euros in 2023, i.e. a margin on revenues of 52.3%.

Net income for the 2023 financial year amounted to 201.4 million euros, up 57.0% over the previous year.
