BOURBON financial information Q3 and 9 months 2015

Adjusted revenues for first 9 months maintained their resilience with an increase of 6.8% to €1,103 million at current rates (-5.5% at constant rates) in a difficult offshore market

• 3^rd quarter 2015 average utilization rate of over 73% (-5.7 pts versus one year ago) showed good resistance in a very weak market while average daily rates declined 11%, reflecting the lower rates negotiated with clients on long term contracts as well as reduced rates on spot contracts compared with a year ago
• Positive foreign currency impact enabled 9 month 2015 revenues to reach over €1.1 billion also helped by BOURBON's modern, standardized fleet, combined with its strong worldwide client network and local partnerships
• Revenues increased in the Americas versus the 3^rd quarter 2014 while the most significant impact of the market downturn was felt in Asia, where revenues declined 27% over the same period
• Compared with the preceding quarter, adjusted revenues decreased 8.3%, impacted by stacked vessels and contracting of vessels at lower rates

"In today's market environment, BOURBON remains determined in the search of operational excellence and is focusing on what it can control: safety, cost control initiatives and operational efficiency", says Christian Lefèvre, Chief Executive Officer of BOURBON. "The objectives in the coming quarters will be to maximize the utilization of the fleet by extending the scope of services on the full range of vessels and extend the portfolio of clients thanks to its network and strong partnerships overseas."

(a) Adjusted data:
The adjusted financial information is presented by Activity and by Segment based on the internal reporting system and shows internal segment information used by the principal operating decision maker to manage and measure the performance of BOURBON (IFRS 8). As of January 1, 2015, the internal reporting (and thus the adjusted financial information) records the performance of operational joint ventures on which the group has joint control using the full integration method. Adjusted comparative figures are restated accordingly.

MARINE SERVICES

* Vessels operated by BOURBON (including vessels owned or on bareboat charter).

All segments had declines in utilization rates and average daily rates both year on year and sequentially, reflecting the continued difficulty in the offshore services market. Stronger foreign exchange rates and an increase in the size of the fleet contributed to offset the decline of the utilization and daily rates, resulting in an increase in adjusted revenues for the 9 month period.

Marine Services: Deepwater offshore vessels

* Vessels operated by BOURBON (including vessels owned or on bareboat charter).

Adjusted revenues increased more than 8% for the 9 months period compared with the year ago period due to a significant increase in the size of the fleet and a favorable exchange rate, and these two factors combined to help offset a reduction in average utilization and average daily rates. Almost all regions were affected by the downturn.

Compared with the 2^nd quarter 2015, the greatest decline in utilization was seen in Asia, while average daily rates declined as new contracts began at lower rates than the expiring contracts. With a 3^rd quarter utilization rate of almost 80%, BOURBON has demonstrated strong resistance in a depressed market where some regions have seen more significant reductions in activity than others. There were up to 8 deepwater vessels stacked during the quarter.

Marine Services: Shallow water offshore vessels

* Vessels operated by BOURBON (including vessels owned or on bareboat charter).

Adjusted revenues increased for the 9 months period due to the positive effects of the foreign exchange rates, which helped to offset the declines in the market conditions. Asia had the greatest declines in both average utilization rates and average daily rate over this same period.

During the 3^rd quarter 2015, BOURBON sold 4 vessels that are non-conforming with its strategy of diesel electric, DP2 technology.  This further concentrates its fleet so that BOURBON is able to leverage its competitive advantage of providing low fuel consumption vessels to its customers.

Compared with the 2^nd quarter 2015, all regions showed declines in average utilization rates and average daily rates in the 3^rd quarter. There were up to 22 vessels stacked during the quarter.

Due to the nature of the shallow water market being generally comprised of low per-barrel production cost projects, this market has demonstrated good resilience. It was impacted by reduced activity in exploration and maintenance projects that was first visible in Q2 2015 continued in Q3 and mostly affected markets in Asia, MMI and West Africa.

Marine Services: Crew boat vessels

Adjusted revenues for the first 9 months of 2015 were supported by the positive foreign exchange impacts while there were fewer vessels in the fleet and both average daily rates and average utilization rates declined. Similar to what was seen in prior quarters, the reduction in demand for the FSIVs had the greatest impact on the segment while the smaller crew boats continued to show greater resilience in utilization as a cost effective means of transportation during a difficult market.

Subsea Services

* Vessels operated by BOURBON (including vessels owned or on bareboat charter).

Three new vessels were added to the fleet compared with last year and the mix effect of the new, larger vessels resulted in a higher average daily rate for the 9 months period compared with a prior year. In combination with the favorable exchange rates, this lead to an increase in revenues of almost 13% for the period. Utilization rates declined as level of activity reduced in this segment and a few contracts were not being extended as clients were looking to reduce their own operating costs. This resulted in much of the
Subsea fleet working in the spot market.

Other

Activities included are those that do not properly fit into either Marine Services or Subsea Services. Making up the majority of the total are earnings from such items as miscellaneous ship management activities, logistics as well as from the cement carrier Endeavor.

OUTLOOK

The market environment in the oil services industry continues to be impacted by the effects of the oil price drop and the resulting reduction in capital investments by BOURBON's clients. Previously, capital spending plans had been reported to decrease 15% for the majors and up to 30% for the independents. Several large oil companies have recently announced even further cuts to come for 2016 as they indicate that they are planning for a prolonged period of relatively low oil prices.

BOURBON will continue to adapt to conditions and maintain its focus on cost control. Among the measures taken, BOURBON will continue to temporarily stack certain vessels which have no anticipated activity for 3 months. BOURBON is choosing to stack vessels to minimize costs and to preserve the utilization rates on the vessels that remain in operation. Today, 31 supply vessels are stacked.

It is in this context that BOURBON's strategy to operate a modern, standardized fleet, combined with its strong worldwide client network and local partnerships, contributes to its resiliency as its advantages become an even greater differentiator during difficult market conditions.
