1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MILLENNIUM OFFSHORE SERVICES SUPERHOLDINGS, LLC, PART OF THE SEAFOX GROUP, REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS Second Quarter 2015 Revenues increased 23.6% to $47.5 million, EBITDA increased 4.6% to $28.8 million, and net income decreased $12.2 million to $2.0 million year-over-year, respectively Ajman, United Arab Emirates August 26, 2015 Millennium Offshore Services Superholdings, LLC, part of the Seafox Group, (the Company or Seafox ), today reported its second quarter 2015 financial results for the period ended June 30, Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights Revenue for the second quarter 2015 was $47.5 million compared to $38.4 million for the same period a year ago. The 23.6% increase in revenue was primarily due to the increased fleet size with the addition of the Seafox Frontier (active since July 2014) and the results from Seafox 1, 2, 4 and 7 ASVs from November 7, The increase in revenues were partially offset by the impact of lower fleet utilization of 64.5% in the quarter, due to shipyard works performed during the period, compared with 100% utilization in the prior year period. Fleet utilization was 64.5% for the second quarter 2015, compared to 100% for the second quarter a year ago, due to planned shipyard works, upgrades and special surveys performed during the period. EBITDA for the second quarter 2015 increased by 4.6% to $28.8 million (EBITDA margin of 60.6%), compared to $27.5 million (EBITDA margin of 71.6%) for the same period a year ago. The increase in EBITDA was primarily due to the increased fleet size following the addition of Seafox Frontier, Seafox 1, 2, 4 and 7 compared with prior year period. The decrease in EBITDA margin was primarily due to the lower utilization as a result of shipyard works on a number of ASVs during the quarter. Net income for the second quarter 2015 was $2.0 million compared to net income of $14.1 million for same period of The decrease in net income was primarily due to the impact of a $7.7 million exchange loss in the quarter, on the Euro denominated Senior Secured Term Loan, following the currency movement between the Euro and US Dollar and increased finance costs from the Senior Secured Term Loan entered into in November 2014 as a part of the Seafox transaction. Direct costs for the second quarter of 2015 were $24.0 million compared to $14.0 million for the second quarter of The $10.0 million increase in direct costs was primarily driven by the increased staff and crewing costs and depreciation resulting from the addition of the Seafox Frontier and Seafox 1, 2, 4 and 7 compared with the prior year period where we had an active fleet of 6 ASVs compared with 11 ASVs in Mobilization and demobilization activities and costs were also higher than the prior year period during the quarter ended June 30, Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $23.4 million compared to $24.4 million for the same period of Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2015 was 49.4% compared to 63.5% in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of lower utilization. General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $2.1 million for the prior period in The increase in expenses was primarily due to the combination between Seafox and MOS on November 7, 2014 and the inclusion of the North Sea business, Netherlands office and corporate costs within general and administrative expenses compared with prior year period. At June 30, 2015, backlog was $421.9 million including current fixed term contracts, customer extension options, pro-forma for recent contract additions and business wins across the fleet of ASVs.

2 Cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash held on fixed deposit against performance bonds, at June 30, 2015 totaled $21.9 million, up slightly from $19.9 million as of June 30, Martin Adler, Chief Executive Officer of Seafox Group, stated that, Revenues continue to increase in the second quarter of 2015 as we progress our planned shipyard upgrades and special survey program across the fleet. We remain on track to build utilization levels in the second half of 2015, as these survey works are completed. The investment in our fleet during 2015, will differentiate our fleet and services from our peers and ensure that we continue to provide the level of services our clients have come to expect from Seafox.

For additional information please visit Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures In the press release the Company presents certain financial measures and ratios, including EBITDA and other operating data, including backlog and fleet utilization rate, that are not presented in accordance with IFRS and which are not IFRS measures. EBITDA is defined as net income for the applicable period before finance costs, income tax expense, unrealized gain/loss on fair valuation of interest rate swap, equity settled C-grant expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization and other income / expense related to realized and unrealized exchange gain / loss, gain / loss on sale of assets and deposit income. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue. The Company presents EBITDA because it believes that (i) it is a useful indicator of the Company s ability to incur and service the Company s indebtedness, (ii) it and similar measures are widely used in the Company s industry as useful indicators or supplemental measures of operating performance and (iii) it can assist certain investors, security analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company s operations and performance.

3 EBITDA is not a recognized term under IFRS. Accordingly, it should not be used as indicator of, or alternative to, revenue, operating profit or operating profit margin or other comparable IFRS metrics, as a measure of operating performance, or of cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company s presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported under IFRS. In particular, you should not consider EBITDA as an alternative to: (a) operating profit or profit for the period (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as a measure of our operating performance; (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of the Company s ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The limitations of EBITDA as an analytical tool include: (i) EBITDA and does not reflect the Company s cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for the Company s working capital needs; (iii) EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on the Company s debts; (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often need to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements that would be required for such replacements; and (v) some of the exceptional items that the Company eliminates in calculating EBITDA reflect cash payments that were made, or will be made in the future. Because the Company s definition of EBITDA may differ from those used by other companies and industries, the Company s presentation of this metrics may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Backlog and fleet utilization rate are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as alternatives to other indicators of our operating performance, cash flows or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with IFRS. The Company s management believe that the presentation of backlog and fleet utilization rate is helpful to investors as a measure of the Company s historical operating performance and ability to service debt, and also, in the case of backlog, as an indication of the Company s future revenue.
