Øivind Tangen, CEO of SBM Offshore, commented:
"SBM Offshore continues to deliver strong performance across its operational and construction portfolios. The further increase in our EBITDA guidance for 2025 reflects our ability to execute complex projects across the globe with consistency and reliability, notwithstanding challenging global economic and geopolitical conditions.
Three major FPSOs have achieved first oil this year, increasing the Company's fleet to 17 vessels with a total production capacity of 2.7 million barrels of oil per day. These units have demonstrated an excellent track record in terms of installation efficiency, industry-leading pace to flare out and ramp-up to full production, underscoring the value of our lifecycle model. One of the three, FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, is now the largest oil-producing unit in Brazil achieving a record flow equivalent to 270,000 barrels of oil per day in October. The most recent asset to join the fleet, FPSO ONE GUYANA, is the largest production unit in Guyana with a nameplate capacity of 250,000 barrels of oil per day.
Our construction portfolio remains on schedule, with FPSO Jaguar for ExxonMobil Guyana, FSO Chalchi3 with its disconnectable turret for Woodside, and FPSO GranMorgu for TotalEnergies progressing toward deliveries in 2027 and 2028. These projects will further strengthen our position in the growing deepwater market.
We see an increasing market activity in our key regions. Our submission of the most competitive bids for both the SEAP 1 and SEAP 2 FPSOs for Petrobras demonstrates our industry-leading position in the large and complex FPSO segment.
In addition, we secured Approval in Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping for the design of a Blue Ammonia FPSO, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and the expansion of our low-carbon portfolio.
Our ambition to increase operational efficiency and improve asset performance has also prompted the signature of two strategic collaboration agreements with Cognite and SLB. These partnerships will enhance digital asset management of our fleet by deploying an AI-driven data platform designed to improve operations. Through our respective domains of expertise, we are elevating fleet performance to higher standards of safety, efficiency, and reliability.
These achievements reflect the dedication and expertise of our global teams, whose relentless commitment to safety, excellence and continuously improving performance drives our success in delivery and competitive position.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined growth and long-term value creation delivered by a team with a culture of excellence."
Financial Overview4
| YTD Directional | ||||
| in US$ million | 3Q 2025 | 3Q 2024 | % Change | |
| Directional Revenue | 3,571 | 2,838 | 26% | |
| Directional Lease and Operate | 1,607 | 1,801 | -11% | |
| Directional Turnkey | 1,964 | 1,036 | 90% | |
| in US$ billion | 3Q 2025 | FY 2024 | % Change | |
| Directional Net Debt | 5.8 | 5.7 | 2% | |
Directional revenue for the third quarter year-to-date 2025 stood at US$3,571 million, a 26% increase compared with the same period last year, driven by the Turnkey segment.
Directional Turnkey revenue amounted to US$1,964 million compared with US$1,036 million in the third quarter of 2024. This increase of over US$900 million reflects the progress on the construction projects of FPSOs Jaguar and GranMorgu under the Sale and Operate model. This was partly offset by the lower contribution of construction activity on FPSOs Almirante Tamandaré, Alexandre de Gusmão and ONE GUYANA as these projects reached completion.
Year-to-date Directional Lease and Operate revenue came in at US$1,607 million, a US$194 million decrease compared with US$1,801 million in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to lower revenue generation from FPSOs Liza Destiny and Prosperity following the sale of the vessels in 4Q 2024 with contributions currently coming only from the Operations and Maintenance Enabling Agreement. This was partly offset by three vessels joining the fleet in 2025, FPSOs Almirante Tamandaré, Alexandre de Gusmão and ONE GUYANA.
Directional Net Debt was US$5.8 billion for the period ending 3Q 2025, a 2% increase compared with the same period last year. This reflects the high level of activity and some temporary financing requirements between milestone payments under the Sale and Operate model. The hedge ratio of the floating-rate debt is above 90%.
Sale of FPSO ONE GUYANA
ExxonMobil Guyana has indicated it is contemplating the exercise of its contractual purchase option to acquire FPSO ONE GUYANA in early 2026, ahead of the end of the maximum lease term in August 2027.
Project Review and Fleet Operational Update
Projects under construction
The construction portfolio is progressing well and all projects remain on track. An update on the individual ongoing projects is provided below considering the latest known circumstances.
FPSO Jaguar - The work in drydock on the Fast4Ward® MPF hull and the topsides fabrication continues to progress as per plan. First oil is expected in 2027.
FSO Chalchi - Following the achievement of the first steel cutting milestone in the third quarter 2025, construction activities are progressing as per plan including the fabrication of the disconnectable turret mooring system.
FPSO GranMorgu - Engineering and procurement activities are well advanced and vessel work and topside modules fabrication continue to progress as per plan.
Strategic positioning for new prospects
The strategic positioning of SBM Offshore in the market is supported by investments in anticipation of new projects through the Company's Fast4Ward® MPF hull program.
Ten Fast4Ward® MPF hulls have been ordered to date:
- Eight Fast4Ward® MPF hulls are in operation or delivered to ongoing projects under construction.
- Two Fast4Ward® MPF hulls are under construction, supporting active discussions with clients driven by the strong FPSO market outlook.
Fleet update
Fleet uptime - Year-to-date, the fleet uptime was 99.4%.
Contract extension - The Company has agreed a 1-month extension of the primary term of the Production Handling Contract of the FPU Thunder Hawk pending the realization of the contractual conditions precedent for a planned sale to the client around the year end.
Responsible Recycling - SBM Offshore is recycling the FPSO Capixaba at Denmark's M.A.R.S. facility in adherence with its Responsible Recycling Policy, which is aligned with the Hong Kong Convention and applicable EU regulations. The project progress has reached 71% with 98% of materials being reused or recycled.
Digitalization and AI
Collaboration agreement - In October 2025, SBM Offshore has announced two major milestones related to its digitalization journey. The exclusive digital alliance with SLB will optimize the performance of offshore production systems. The alliance brings together SLB's digital and domain expertise in subsurface, subsea, surface production and recovery with SBM Offshore's digital and full FPSO lifecycle capabilities. The companies will leverage their respective digital capabilities to create an AI-powered digital ecosystem that enhances FPSO digital asset management, improving uptime performance and reducing total cost of ownership for offshore operators.
Similarly, SBM Offshore has announced an acceleration of the strategic collaboration with Cognite, the global leader in industrial AI. This new initiative deploys the Cognite industrial AI and data platform to part of SBM Offshore's fleet, leveraging unified AI and data to significantly enhance operational efficiency and fuel further innovation in floating production systems.
Safety and Sustainability
Safety - There were zero Fatalities or Permanent Impairment Injuries in the third quarter of 2025, within the full year target of zero.
Ammonia - In September 2025, SBM Offshore secured the American Bureau of Shipping's Approval in Principle for the design of a Blue Ammonia FPSO, marking a key step in the Company's roadmap to contribute to the energy transition. By integrating carbon capture and ammonia production technologies, the design enables offshore production of low-carbon ammonia. This innovative design complements SBM Offshore's low-carbon portfolio and reinforces its strategy to lead in sustainable ocean infrastructure solutions.
Shareholder Returns
The EUR141 million (c. US$150 million equivalent5) share repurchase program effective from April 24, 2025 is progressing and was c. 71% complete on November 12, 2025 after market close. The objective of the share buyback program is to reduce share capital and provide shares for regular management and employee share programs (maximum US$25 million). Shares repurchased as part of the cash return will be cancelled.
Following good progress of the share repurchase program, SBM Offshore cancelled 5,000,000 ordinary shares on November 3, 2025, representing 2.8% of the Company's issued share capital. The total number of shares to be cancelled will be determined upon completion of the share repurchase program.
Guidance
The Company's 2025 Directional revenue guidance is unchanged at above US$5.0 billion of which around US$2.3 billion (from above US$2.2 billion) is expected from the Lease and Operate segment and around US$2.8 billion (maintained) from the Turnkey segment.
2025 Directional EBITDA guidance is increased to around US$1.65 billion for the Company from above US$1.6 billion.
