Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GTT, commented: "In Q3, business was marked by ongoing ship orders. With 34 orders of LNG carriers and FSRUs recorded to the end of September, 2018 is set to be a record year for our main business line. We were also successful in the promising field of LNG fuel. The order received in July to equip the LNG tanks of the Ponant Icebreaker is symbolic of shipping companies' growing interest in our LNG propulsion solutions. We are continuing our efforts to enter into industrial and commercial partnerships to step up our development in this field. We are continuing to prepare the future by constantly improving our technologies. We thus obtained a classification society's approval-in-principle for the development of NO96 Flex, a new, higher-performance version of our NO96 technology. On the strength of the particularly high number of orders received since the beginning of 2018 and the growth in our services business, we can confirm our objectives for our FY 2018 revenues, net margin and dividend".

Review of business activity for the first nine months

During the first nine months of 2018, GTT's sales activity was marked by a number of successes, in particular in the field of LNG carriers:

Main "vessel" activity

The 18 orders recorded in the 1st half for the design of tanks for LNG carriers were supplemented with 14 new orders in Q3, bringing the total to 32 orders for the first 9 months of 2018. All of these vessels will be equipped with recent GTT technologies (NO 96 GW, Mark III Flex and Mark III Flex+).

2 orders for the design of FSRU tanks were recorded over the first six months. The pace of these orders is consistent with the Group's medium-term forecasts.

Onshore storage activity

In September 2018, GTT received an order from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for the design of a containment system for a 12,500 m3 onshore storage tank that will contain liquid argon for experimental purposes.

LNG fuel activity

1 order for a bunker ship with a capacity of 18,600 m3 was recorded at the beginning of the year. Operated by Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd. and chartered by Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions (TMFGS), this ship will be dedicated to the supply of LNG to the future CMA CGM container carriers.

In July 2018, GTT also recorded an order from the Vard shipyard to build LNG tanks for the PONANT Icebreaker, the first LNG-powered icebreaker cruise ship.

Services activity

During the first half of 2018, GTT was commissioned to conduct preliminary engineering studies for new GBS (Gravity Based System) terminal projects.



New Technical Assistance and License Agreements (TALAs)

In April 2018, with Sembcorp Marine (a company based in Singapore), to design and build FSRUs, medium-capacity LNG carriers and Sembcorp Marine's Gravifloat platforms using GTT's membrane containment systems.

In September 2018, with Keppel Offshore & Marine for the equipment of LNG carriers, bunker vessels, LNG-powered ships and Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs), with special focus on ships with a capacity of 30,000 to 80,000 m3.

In September 2018, with South Korea's Hyundai Mipo Dockyard for the equipment of gas tankers, in particular small and medium capacity vessels (up to around 50,000 m3), as well as LNG tanks for ship propulsion.

Technology

In Q3, GTT obtained Bureau Veritas' approval-in-principal for the development of a new NO96-type cargo containment system. Called NO96 Flex, this new system has the advantages of the proven NO96 technology, as well as those provided by the use of foam panels, thereby reducing the boil-off rate to 0.07%V per day, i.e. a level equivalent to that of GTT's most efficient technologies.

CSR performance

GTT was commended by GAIA for its CSR performance. GAIA is an agency specialised in the extra-financial rating (based on environmental, social and governance criteria) of listed SMEs and mid-caps. GTT ranked 21st out of the 230 companies rated, and 3rd out of 78 in its revenue category. GAIA also created an ESG index of the 70 best-rated companies, which includes GTT.

Moreover, following an audit conducted by Ethic Intelligence, GTT obtained the certification of its anti-corruption management system based on ISO 37001 requirements.

Change in consolidated revenues

Revenues for the first 9 months of 2018 totalled €184 million, up 7.1% compared to the first 9 months of 2017.

Revenues from new-builds amounted to €173.0 million, up 7.1%. Royalties from LNG carriers and ethane carriers increased 4.5% to €149.9 million, while FSRU royalties grew 43.5% to €19.6 million, thanks to the numerous orders recorded in 2017. Other royalties were as follows: €2.0 million for FLNGs, €0.7 million for Onshore storage, €0.5 million for LNG-powered ships, and €0.3 million for the barge.
Service-related revenues amounted to €10.6 million, up 6.6% compared to the first 9 months of 2017, due to an increase in engineering studies and the impact of Ascenz operations.

Changes in the order book

GTT's order book, which contained 89 units at January 1, 2018, has added the following orders since that date:

35 orders received: 32 LNG carriers, 2 FSRUs, 1 Onshore storage tank;
32 deliveries: 28 LNG carriers, 3 FSRUs, 1 barge.


At 30 September 2018, the order book comprised 92 units, of which:

76 LNG carriers[3];
11 FSRUs3;
2 FLNGs;
3 onshore storage tanks.

Moreover, in the first 9 months of 2018, in the field of LNG Fuel, GTT received an order to equip a bunker ship and an order to equip the Ponant Icebreaker cruise ship, bringing to 11 the number of units recorded in its LNG order book to 30 September 2018.

Outlook for 2018

The Company confirms its objectives for FY 2018, namely:

2018 consolidated revenues of 235 to 250 million euros[4];
2018 consolidated EBITDA[5] within a range of 145 to 155 million euros;
a 2018 dividend[6] amount at least equivalent to the ones paid in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and, for 2019, a dividend payout ratio of at least 80% of distributable net income.

Paris (AFP) - Engie's regulated gas tariffs for millions of households will increase by 5.8% excluding tax by November 1, following the rise in prices, the regulator announced Friday.

"After a strong average increase since the beginning of the year, the indicative trend for the coming months is, however, to stabilize, based on oil and gas prices on international markets", notes the Commission for the regulation of oil and gas. energy (CRE).

In November, tariffs will increase on average by 5.79% excluding tax, says CRE. This represents 5.4% all taxes included, had previously indicated a source close to the record.

The increase is 1.9% for households that use gas for cooking, 3.6% for those who have dual use cooking and hot water, and 6% for homes that heat gas.

In France, 4.6 million homes are still regulated sales tariffs (TRV) applied by Engie. But these tariffs will gradually disappear to comply with European law.

The government plans to decree their extinction on July 1, 2023. The National Assembly recently gave the green light during the review of the Pact Act.

The TRVs of the gas are calculated on the basis of a mathematical formula and are the subject of an opinion of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE).

The formula takes into account gas supply costs as well as other costs (routing, storage, commercial costs).

The current upward trend follows the rise in gas and oil prices in the markets.

Since 1 January 2015, VAT-free TRVs have increased by an average of 5.3%, according to CRE.

PARIS (Agefi-Dow Jones) - Energy and services provider Engie and the Casino distribution group, through its subsidiary GreenYellow, launched Wednesday a joint venture called Reservoir Sun, a business and community services company in the field of photovoltaic energy.

"Reservoir Sun was created, with the agreement of the European authorities for competition regulation and social partners, to increase solar photovoltaic self-consumption in France," Engie said in a statement.

"Sun's Reservoir will specialize in the solar power segment up to 1 MWp (megawatts peak) for businesses and communities," installed on roofs and parking lots, with the goal of installing a solar power generation capacity. 100 MWp per year, "is nearly 300 cases of 300 kWp on average per project," said Engie.

Reservoir Sun plans to invest € 100 million each year in the medium capacity market, Engie noted.

The structure is entirely dedicated to this activity and is equally owned by Engie and GreenYellow.
