BAB would continue to monitor its operations in Russia closely. The Group's day-to-day operations in Russia are continuing without being materially impacted by sanctions to date and the contract work in the Caspian Sea undertaken by BAB's subsidiary company in Russia was expected to be completed in 2022.

    1. HSSEQ Safety First
      • On-goingreview of Covid-19 mitigations against international standards and upskilling the staff on medical responses to ensure staff readiness in any new cases. The Company also collaborated with its partners, clients and other organisations to strengthen the HSE programme across the board.
      • Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") emission in 2021 had reduced significantly to 7.8% from the existing operations. In 2021, BAB FPSO operations focused on green engineering

solutions for the current and new FPSOs as well as on the LNG business.

    • Fully committed to UN Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs").
    • Net Zero Carbon by 2050 as recommended by the UN.
    • The remaining Offshore Marine Services ("OMS") assets have been merged into a single Operations team.
    • All FPO vessels performed well in 2021, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. However, there were 2 Lost Time Incidents recorded.
  1. 2021 Strategy
    • Safety and Covid-19 prevention remained as the main strategy focus.
    • Maintained Operational excellence.
    • Cost control, debt reduction and assets disposal were the strategies used to pare down the Company's debt and position it for future growth.
    • Subsea construction sector contracts were secured in 2021 and the Caspian operation was minimally impacted by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
    • Maintained crucial relationship with clients and partners.
    • Developed FPSOs as the Company's core asset in selected countries, capabilities, clients and partners.
  1. Russia - Grayfer Project
    • The USD50.0 million Grayfer project progressed well.
    • Neither Lukoil nor the project have been sanctioned and the Company continues to meet its obligations under the project contract.
    • New projects would be explored in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.

The CEO invited Mr Targett, the CFO to brief the shareholders on the financial performance for FY2021. Mr Targett presented the following highlights:

  1. FY2021 key financial targets
    • Built excellent operational performance of FPSO division which accounted for over 90% of the Group's revenue;
    • Improved balance sheet and increased cash flow :-
      1. Repaid USD397.0 million of debt;
      2. Reduced administrative expenses by 16% year-on-year; and
      3. Improved cash flows from operations by RM327.0 million.
    • Monetised assets - the Company only has 3 OSVs remaining.

highlighted that the charter rates for the FPO segment were fixed at the commencement of the charter and any increase in oil prices would have no effect on the charter rate.

    • Total borrowings had reduced year-on-year since 2018 by 33% in total. Consequently, the reduction in borrowings had resulted in reduced finance costs of 19% year-on-year.
    • The net debt to EBITDA ratio had significantly reduced to below 4 and the ratio would be further reduced as the Company made further debt repayments.
    • Administrative expenses had significantly reduced year-on-year since 2018. Further reductions would be a challenge given the current inflationary environment, but BAB would continue to achieve further reductions where possible.
    • Cash from operations had increased mainly driven from improved collection from receivables and lower payments made in respect of accounts payables.
    • Other operating income had increased mainly due to the gain on disposal of OSV vessels and management and engineering services fees charged to an associate.
    • Net profit for FY2021 was the highest recorded since the Company's listing on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Malaysia") in 2011.
    • Mr Targett responded to further queries from the shareholders as follows:-
      1. Foreign currency effect on the Company's business - 85% of the Company's revenue was denominated in USD. Generally, if the USD strengthens, BAB net profit would strengthen.
      2. Tax changes in other countries where the Company operates - the Company's Tax Department would continuously monitor tax developments and take appropriate action, if required.
  1. Financial results for first quarter ending 31 March 2022 ("Q1 2022") (released on 25/5/2022 to Bursa Malaysia):
    • Revenue grew in Q1 FY2022 compared to Q4 FY2021, due to higher vessel availability for Armada Kraken, and provision of engineering services to a jointly owned FPSO. As a result of the increased revenue, the net profit and operating profit before impairment were enhanced.
    • Q1 2022 would report on 2 business segments rather than 3, namely Operations (all vessels in operation) and Others (including technology, engineering and projects).
    • USD107.0 million of debt was repaid in Q1 FY2022.
    • Depreciation reduced mainly due to a non-operating FPSO which was fully depreciated in December 2021.
    • Finance cost was reduced by 8% due to debt repayment.
    • The order book from wholly owned FPO units remained robust.
  2. 2022 Growth Financing
    • FPSO funding had shifted toward significant client upfront payments and lower project debt.
    • The strategy was to be selective in terms of projects.
    • Major projects were likely to be in collaboration with industrial and financial partners/co-venturers.
