CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
Subsea7 delivered strong results in 2025, with Group
revenue of $7.1 billion, up 4% year-on-year, and Adjusted
EBITDA of $1.5 billion, up 36%. The improvement in margin
to 21% from 16% in the prior year was driven by both excellent
operational performance in executing our portfolio of projects,
and the continued shift in the composition of our backlog
towards contracts won in a more favourable environment.
In 2025, the Group continued to emphasise the importance
of cash generation and balance sheet strength, ensuring we
retain the flexibility and agility to seize opportunities, while
safeguarding shareholder value through the cycle. I was
pleased with the cash conversion of 1.1 times in 2025 and,
with net cash at year end of $21 million, the Group’s
financial position is robust.
In 2025, the Group maintained its selective approach
tobidding for new work in order to preserve our future
financial performance. With the strong demand for our
services, our backlog touched a new record high of nearly
$14 billion during the year.
Positioning for the next decade in energy
Over the past year, society at large and energy
stakeholders specifically have adopted an approach to the
energy transition which is more in line with the underlying
realities. This has been reflected in our clients’ strategies
which acknowledge the need to continue developing
hydrocarbon resources as part of the broad mix to meet
thegrowth in global energy demand.
At the same time, our clients remain committed to
capitaldiscipline, balance sheet strength, and their own
shareholder returns. Thus recent volatility in commodity
prices and cash flow generation has driven greater
selectivity from our clients, prioritising developments
thatoffer the strongest returns.
This reaffirms our long-standing strategy to focus on
theeconomically attractive deepwater subsea market.
Therenewed emphasis on exploration and appraisal to
replenish deepwater reserves supports our confidence
inthe long-term outlook for both greenfield and tie-back
developments. While some offshore wind markets have
undergone restructuring, the need and drive for renewable
energy remains clear.
Our worldwide operations can be affected by factors
whichare subject to change every day, including politics
and regulatory regimes, war and terrorism, epidemics and
natural catastrophes, as well as the economy and foreign
exchange rates. Some of these are beyond our control
and,historically, complete stability has never occurred
intheenergy sector. Such risks are shared with our clients
and suppliers as best we can through protection in our
contracts. Our ability to anticipate and manage these
possible risks, and to adapt to new challenges as they
occur, is important to our success.
A transformative merger
Subsea7 has been an active consolidator, bringing together
the skills and experience of around 30 companies, through
mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, to create a leading
player in the subsea industry. In 2025, we announced the
next phase of this journey: the proposed merger of equals
with Saipem to create Saipem7. Our vision is simple – to
create a global leader in energy services, equipped with
thescale and resources to address our clients’ requirements
for larger and more complex deepwater development
projects in the coming decades. By combining the
complementary strengths of both companies, Saipem7
willoffer its clients a fleet of approximately 60 specialist
vessels, the expertise of over 40,000 people across more
than 60 countries incorporating a comprehensive range of
offshore and onshore services, and the financial capacity
todeliver multi-billion dollar developments.
The Board’s confidence in the proposed merger was
validated by our shareholders, who voted emphatically
insupport of the transaction at our Extraordinary General
Meeting in September 2025, with 99% of votes in favour.
This included approval of the return of €555 million in
special dividends before merger completion. Shareholders
will also benefit from annualised synergies of over
€300 million from 2029, a more efficient capital
expenditure programme, and greater scale in both
equityanddebtmarkets.
Leveraging technology for
enhancedprojectdelivery
While we navigate the process of obtaining regulatory
clearances for the transaction, the Board remains focused
on the successful delivery of projects. In 2025, the Group
completed 80 projects valued at $22 billion covering a
range of complex developments in challenging offshore
environments. With this momentum continuing into 2026,
the Group will continue to push performance by leveraging
innovation to optimise solutions and ensure reliability
forclients.

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
Subsea7 has long fostered a culture of innovation,
demonstrated by its portfolio of nearly 2,000 patents.
Whilemany represent incremental enhancements in the
continued evolution of our offering, others have a more
significant impact on the outcomes for our clients. Among
the most notable successes in 2025 was the introduction
ofadvanced software that extends the window of operability
of our vessels, allowing us to offer greater availability and
flexibility to our clients. Increasing the uptime of our flagship
deepwater pipelay vessel, Seven Vega, by over 10%, this
software is just one example of our drive for continued
performance enhancement.
Evolution of sustainability reporting
The Annual Report for 2025 represents the Group’s
secondyear of disclosures within the Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive (CSRD) framework. While the first year
of reporting naturally required a huge effort from our senior
management team, as well as our strategy, sustainability
and finance functions, the process remained onerous this
year. Representing an extra 60 pages of disclosures, the
2025 sustainability statements have involved an incremental
12,000 manhours across the organisation. I welcome the
EU’s current initiative to streamline European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS), aiming to help companies
produce sustainability statements that are clearer, more
concise and easier for investors and stakeholders to relate
to, while reducing the burden on the industry.
Shareholder returns
Subsea7 returned $376 million in the form of ordinary
cashdividends to shareholders in 2025 and intends to
return $400 million in 2026. In addition, before merger
completion, the Group will return the aforementioned
€555 million of special dividends. Together these represented
approximately 13% of the market capitalisation of Subsea7 as
at 25 February 2026.
The $3 billion already returned since 2012 underscores our
consistent focus on creating long-term shareholder value
and the strong alignment between the Board and our owners.
My thanks
I would like to express my appreciation to the 14,000
colleagues whose efforts and expertise were key to achieving
another year of strong operational and financial performance.
I am also thankful for the relationships we maintain with our
clients that, above all, are crucial to the safe delivery of
complex projects in challenging offshore environments.
Finally, I would like to express my appreciation for the
support of our shareholders, both as we continue to
execute the strategy of Subsea7, and for their strong
endorsement of our vision for the creation of a new
globalleader in energy services. We look forward to
anexciting future for Subsea7.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
In 2025, Subsea7 delivered strong operational and financial
performance with revenue of $7.1 billion and Adjusted
EBITDA of $1.5 billion, a margin of 20.9%. While our
exposure to predominately late-cycle sectors of the energy
industry meant it took time to fully high-grade the backlog
during this upturn, we closed the year with an order book
approaching $14 billion of high-quality projects, providing
excellent visibility on the years ahead. These strong results
reflect not only our success in securing attractive work but
also the dedication of our onshore and offshore teams in
safely and reliably delivering for clients, guided by Subsea7’s
core Values: Safety, Integrity, Sustainability, Performance,
Collaboration, and Innovation.
Subsea and Conventional achieved its fifth consecutive
year of growth with revenue rising by 5% to $5.8 billion
andan Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.6%, up from 16.3%
in2024. This strong performance reflects a balanced
market environment: deepwater development remains
highly attractive to clients while improved contract conditions
allow Subsea7 to continue to improve its return on capital.
In 2025, our activity encompassed a range of deepwater
projects including major greenfield projects in Brazil,
strategic gas developments in Türkiye, and tie-back
solutions in regions such as the US. Norway was an
especially active region for Subsea and Conventional
workthis year as we advanced a portfolio of developments
for Aker BP – more details of which can be found on pages
18 to 19.
Our Renewables business also reported solid results in
2025 marking a third year of progress, with growth in
Adjusted EBITDA of 9% and a margin of 16.6%, up from
15.0% last year. The continual improvement in margins since
2022 reflects the decisive action we took to become more
selective in our bidding strategy, combined with a strong
execution performance, leveraging our fleet of modern,
adaptable vessels. Our efforts remain centred on a number
of experienced developers in Europe and Taiwan with
whom we have a solid track record, and where funding is
secured and the regulatory environment is well understood.
Strong cash generation and a robust
balancesheet
Subsea7 generated operating cash flow of $1.5 billion
in2025, which, after capital expenditure of $281 million,
resulted in free cash flow of $1.2 billion. The primary focus
of our organic reinvestment was the maintenance of our
modern fleet of vessels to ensure optimal performance in
the busy years ahead, and to maximise their lifespan and
our return on investment. In addition, we remained committed
to returning capital to shareholders, with $376 million paid
in the form of dividends in 2025.
Overall net debt reduced by $622 million during the year,
resulting in a year-end net cash balance of $21 million,
including $365 million lease liabilities mainly related to vessel
charters. This leaves the Group in characteristically
solidfinancial health.
Executing our differentiated strategy
In 2025, the Group remained focused on delivering the
benefits of our well-embedded strategy, which utilises
oursix differentiators to unlock value for both our clients
and our shareholders. Each principle (Early Engagement,
Integrated Services, Digital Solutions, Collaborations and
Partnerships, Sustainable Delivery and Enabling Products,
as explained on pages 10 to 11) has played a part in our
success in 2025. Our differentiators have enabled us to
winhigh-quality work, achieve optimal execution, and
reinforce strong relationships with key clients. This has
been showcased in our activity in Norway, which accounted
for over $1 billion of revenue in 2025 and which saw us
deploy a full array of technologies including both rigid
andflexible pipes, umbilicals and pipeline bundles. These
projects reinforced the benefits to both client and solution
provider of an alliance relationship that enables long-term
resource planning and supply chain management, and
fosters a culture of innovation.
During the year, we continued to advance technologies
thatstrengthen our offering in subsea solutions. As
discussedon page 20, we rolled out a digital management
tool developed by our 4Subsea business, which allows
greater operational uptime of our vessels. This contributed
an additional 35 days of operational availability to our
flagship vessel, Seven Vega.

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
We also continued to push the industry’s operating
envelope, unlocking resources in the US with reservoir
pressures of up to 20,000 psi (‘20K’). In 2025, we
successfully engineered, fabricated and installed rigid
pipeline for our third such ultra high-pressure field –
Beacon’s Shenandoah project – and set a new record for
reel-lay installation. More details of our 20K successes are
discussed on page 20. The repeat orders we continue to
receive from blue-chip clients endorse our technology
strategy and reinforce Subsea7’s position at the forefront
of advancement in the energy industry.
Continued growth from a position of strength
From the low levels of 2020 to the healthy state of the
industry in 2025, Subsea7 has benefited from an upcycle
inthe deepwater market, alongside growth in offshore wind.
While the ‘stronger for longer’ mantra may be well-worn,
today’s industry dynamics support this view of our industry
more than ever.
While regulatory clearance for the proposed merger
withSaipem is still in progress, management remains
firmlycommitted to delivering ongoing projects to clients,
continuing to secure new high-quality contracts, and
motivating our workforce. With a strong backlog of nearly
$14 billion, of which approximately $7 billion is expected
tobe executed in 2026, we have high visibility on anticipated
revenue this year of approximately $7.0 to 7.4 billion. We
expect our Adjusted EBITDA margin to continue to improve
and reach approximately 22% in 2026. With a disciplined
approach to reinvestment, we plan capital expenditure
of$350 to 380 million in 2026, yielding significant cash
generation. Overall, I am confident that the resilience of
theenergy market, combined with our differentiated
offering and our strong track record of delivery,
continuesto position Subsea7 for success.
My thanks go to all our colleagues around the world for
their dedication and commitment throughout 2025. It has
been a year of significant achievement, and their focus
hasbeen central to the Group’s accomplishments.

OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS
REGIONAL OVERVIEW
BRAZIL TÜRKIYE
In 2025, Brazil represented 24% of
Subsea7’s revenue, reflecting progress
on six major EPCI projects, for Petrobras
and Equinor, aswell as the charter by
Petrobras offourpipelay support vessels
(PLSVs).
This portfolio of projects, representing over
30%ofGroup backlog at year end, supports a
largeengineering and project management team
inRiodeJaneiro, aswell as a spoolbase at Ubu.
During the year, Subsea7 delivered first oil on
Bacalhau, Equinor’s largest offshore field outside
Norway with a production capacity of more than
1 billion barrels of oil equivalent. The project was
awarded to Subsea Integration Alliance in June 2021
following front-endengineering and design by
thealliance to optimise the development solution.
Itencompassed 140 kilometres of rigid risers and
flowlines, as well as umbilicals and trees, in water
depths of 2,050 metres and utilised Seven Vega,
Seven Pacific, Seven Cruzeiro and Seven Merlin.
In2026, Subsea7 will progress the four other
EPCIprojects currently in the Brazilian backlog,
Mero4, Búzios 8, Búzios 9 and Búzios 11, which
togetherprovide revenue visibility to 2028 and
enablethe standardisation and operational
efficiencies associated with a sustained level of
activity on aportfolio of greenfield, pre-salt projects.
During the year, our four PLSVs commenced new
three-year contracts for Petrobras. These vessels
form part of Petrobras’s fleet of 15 PLSVs and are
typically used to recover and install flexible pipelines.
They represent a day-rate-based part of Subsea7’s
balanced portfolio of projects.
A country not previously associated
withthe offshore energy industry, Türkiye
emerged as a significant market in 2021
when Subsea7, in consortium with SLB
and OneSubsea, was awarded Phase 1
ofthestrategically important Sakarya
gasdevelopment.
The contract covered the well completions and
theEPCI of the subsea production systems, risers
andflowlines, and an early production facility, in a
first-of-its-kind, integrated onshore and offshore
development. Sakarya Phase 1 was a complex and
challenging project in the harsh environment of the
Black Sea, with elevated levels of hydrogen sulphide
and long tie-backs in ultra-deep waters. Nevertheless,
less than three years after award, the project achieved
first gas and, reflecting this success, by August 2025
Subsea7 had been awarded two more phases of
Sakarya by Turkish Petroleum.
In 2025, offshore activities focused on Phase 2 of
thedevelopment, with Seven Pacific and Seven Seas
installing umbilicals and flexible pipelines, and Seven
Vega beginning the installation of production risers
and injection pipelines. Meanwhile, engineering and
procurement was underway for Phase 3, with
offshoreactivities scheduled in 2027 and 2028.
In 2025, Türkiye represented 9% of revenue and,
atthe end of the year, was 13% of the Group’s backlog.
The sustained high level of work has enabled Subsea7
to develop a strong regional presence, including our
office in Istanbul. With further phases expected tobe
tendered in the coming years, Türkiye should remain
asignificant territory for Subsea7 as we support the
nation in achieving its energy goals.

UK WIND NORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA
Seaway7 has been a key contributor
tothe UK’s renewable energy sector
since 2009, building a strong track
recordthrough projects such as Greater
Gabbard, Beatrice, Triton Knoll, Moray
West and Seagreen. In 2025, this was
extended with the completion of Dogger
Bank A, B and C foundation installation,
continued progress on East Anglia
THREE and preparation works for East
Anglia TWO, Hornsea 3 and Inch Cape.
By the end of 2025, Seaway7 had supported
theinstallation of nearly 20 gigawatts (GW) of
windcapacity globally, reinforcing its role in delivering
large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects.
In the UK, work on Dogger Bank A, B and C began
in2019, and by 2025 Seaway7 had completed the
installation of 277 monopiles and transition pieces,
while installation of turbines at Dogger Bank C will
continue into 2026. Delivering all three phases of
thislandmark project provided Seaway7 with an
opportunity to optimise processes and set new
benchmarks for efficiency. Each stage contributed
toimproved predictability andreduced cycle times.
Installation at East Anglia THREE began in March
2025, with Seaway Ventus completing a significant
portion of the 95-monopile scope by year end.
Thenext phase in 2026 will see continued monopile
installation and the commencement of inter-array
cable work by Seaway Aimery and Seaway Phoenix
alongside cable lay at Hornsea 3 and foundation
installation at Inch Cape. By 2027, activity will shift
tocable installation at East Anglia TWO, reinforcing
Seaway7’s role in enabling large-scale renewable
energy infrastructure.
Subsea7 executes work in the US,
Guyana,Trinidad and Tobago, and
Mexico, predominantly through its office
in Houston, US, as well as in Merida,
Mexico. Opened in 2023, the Merida
office has grown to a team of around
80and has become the latest success
inSubsea7’s strategy to attract
engineering talent innew regions.
In the US during 2025, Subsea7 partnered with
severalindependent oil companies, including Beacon
Offshore Energy, Talos and LLOG, to accelerate
projects from concept to first production, maximising
value for clients. This success was enabled by close
collaboration, underpinned by a proven track record
of delivery, which often allowed the direct award of
contracts to Subsea7. Additional efficiencies were
achieved by managing a regional portfolio of projects
to optimise vessel utilisation, delivering benefits for
both clients and the Group. For example, Seven
Oceans and Seven Seas spent much of the first
halfofthe year in the Gulf, working on Salamanca,
Sunspear and Shenandoah. The Group also won
projects for Shell and Chevron, including Vito Waterflood,
Laser Shark, Sparta and Jack St Malo Phase 5,
forwhich offshore installation phases are mainly
scheduled for 2026 and 2027.
In April 2025, Subsea Integration Alliance secured
acontract for the EPCI of the Ginger project, in
Trinidad and Tobago, marking the first award under
anew global framework agreement with bp. Building
on along-standing global relationship, the agreement
introduced a new collaborative approach that enables
greater transparency and early engagement. It also
established an innovative commercial model designed
to align incentives and accelerate value creation.

and our spoolbase in Vigra, Norway and bundle base in
Wick, UK. Alongside major projects such as Skarv SSP,
Fenris, Verdande and Irpa, during the year, three standout
integrated projects showcased our solutions.
Ormen Lange: enabling a strategic gas development
Subsea7 has been involved with Ormen Lange since the
original development in the early 2000s. For Phase 3,
together with OneSubsea as part of Subsea Integration
Alliance, we delivered front-end engineering and an
integrated EPCI that includes the subsea flowline system,
as well as two multi-phase compression systems. The
phase aims to recover an additional 30–50 billion cubic
metres of gas for export to Europe, and is an illustration
ofSubsea Integration Alliance’s capability to unlock strategic
gas reserves and maximise the value of existing
infrastructure through brownfield developments.
Yggdrasil: building a major infrastructure hub
Since 2016, Subsea7 has worked in alliance with Aker
BPtomature projects from early concept stage through
project execution, eliminating tendering and delivering
costefficiency, predictability, and accelerating timelines.
Yggdrasil, one of the alliance’s largest projects, was a flagship
development targeting 450 million barrels of recoverable oil
through 57 wells. Our scope utilised three reel-lay vessels,
Seven Vega, Seven Oceans, and Seven Navica, to install a
range of pipelines, alongside two large bundle pipelines.
Yggdrasil will become a newinfrastructure hub for this
areaof the Norwegian Continental Shelf, opening up
cost-efficient tie-back opportunities for years tocome.
Northern Lights: advancing the energy transition
In 2024, Subsea7 delivered its scope for Phase 1 of Northern
Lights, the world’s first cross-border CO
2
transport and
storage facility. In 2025, engineering was underway for
Phase 2, which included EPCI of a five-kilometre CO
2
pipeline, integrated satellite structures, umbilicals, tie-ins
and pre-commissioning activities. Offshore activities are
scheduled for 2026. This phase will increase storage capacity
from 1.5 million tonnes to at least 5 million tonnes of CO
2
per year—a significant step in decarbonising hard-to-abate
industries and establishing a new value chain for Norway
and Europe.
Leveraging our technologies
Through the decades, Norway has been a global leader
insubsea technology and Subsea7 has been at the forefront,
delivering over half of all the major projects in theregion
to≈date. In close collaboration with our clients, wehave
delivered solutions that set new records for scale and
innovation, while optimising costs and maximising returns.
The Norwegian hydrocarbon industry plays
a vital role in the UK and Europe’s energy
security, supplying gas equivalent to nearly

Bundle pipelines: a cost-effective solution for tie-backs
Subsea7 is the only contractor with a proven track
recordofdelivering production system bundles, with 90
installations to date, of which 24 have been in Norway.
Bycombining active heating, flowlines and control systems
into a single towable bundle unit, we reduce the complexity
of subsea architecture and offer a cost-effective alternative
to traditional models. The solution requires use of our
proprietary lining as well as highly specialised welding
fromour team in Wick, UK.
The most recent deliveries were in 2025 as part of the
Yggdrasil development, enabling the tie-back of 24 wells to
an unmanned platform at Munin. At 6.8 and 7.8 kilometres in
length, and with diameters exceeding 53 inches, they were
among the largest and longest bundles fabricated at Wick.
Repeat orders from clients including Aker BP, bp, Chevron,
Equinor and Shell are testament to the success of these
unique solutions and, more broadly, tothe innovative
solutions offered by Subsea7’s advanced engineering
andfabrication capabilities.
A positive outlook for the coming years
With significant reserves close to existing facilities, the
Norwegian market is increasingly targeting brownfield
developments that can extend the life of its major hub
infrastructure and maintain production levels.
Subsea7 is well-placed in this market, with highly
collaborative client relationships that leverage our
earlyengagement expertise and innovative development
solutions. In 2025, Subsea7 secured contracts
inNorwayfor Aker BP, Equinor and ConocoPhillips.
Subsea7 has a strong presence in Norway
and a long history of industry collaboration.
We have successfully delivered hundreds of projects
inNorway since the 1970s, setting new records for scale
and innovation, while optimising costs and maximising
returns for our clients.
Aker BP’s Øst Frigg will tie back to the new Yggdrasil
hub,unlocking oil reserves beneath gas structures that were
produced in the 1990s. The project will utilise our cost-
efficient pipeline bundle, which will be fabricated at our base
in Wick, UK. The project is expected to be delivered in 2027.
Equinor’s Fram Sør involves the development of four
fieldsthat will be tied back to the existing Troll C platform,
unlocking reserves and extending the life of existing
infrastructure. Subsea7 was involved with a front end
engineering and design (FEED) study in close collaboration
with the client. The resulting EPCI award covers subsea
umbilicals, flowlines and risers that are due for installation
in2026, 2027 and 2028.
At ConocoPhillips’ Previously Produced Fields (PPF),
Subsea7 is involved in work to revitalise existing infrastructure
at the Ekofisk hub. These fields were among the earliest
producing oil fields in Norway, but were shut in with
significant gas still in place. New seismic and drilling
technologies enabled the reappraisal and redevelopment
and after a successful front-end engineering project by
Subsea, the full development was sanctioned in December.
It is expected to utilise Seven Borealis in 2028.
Looking further ahead, Subsea7 is in an exclusive
collaboration with Equinor to work on development
concepts for Wisting, Norway, as well as the Bay
duNordfield in Canada.

4Insight® – enhancing
vesselavailability
In today’s environment of heightened capital discipline
and limited investment in new deepwater pipelay
capacity, maximising uptime across the existing fleet
is essential to delivering growth in profitability and
value creation.
Developed by 4Subsea, our Norwegian technology
business, 4Insight leverages high-resolution, real-time
vessel and weather data combined with advanced
algorithms to automate onboard operational decisions.
This innovation extends the vessels’ window of
operability and enhances project performance by
reducing the cost and schedule risks tied to waiting
on weather. By streamlining objective decision-
making, 4Insight also reinforces the collaboration
between marine and project teams, driving
operational efficiency.
The software has been rolled out across part of
ourfleet and has received excellent feedback from
ouroffshore and onshore teams. In 2025, it added
around 35 days of operation to Seven Vega, an uplift
ofover 10% compared with our standard planning
assumptions. It has also been used to optimise
installation activities in offshore wind, as well as
auxiliary operations such as crew transfers.
By increasing the operability of a key global enabler
vessel like Seven Vega, we deliver faster project
execution, with improved predictability and fuel
efficiency, and ultimately stronger value delivery—
helping clients meet theirobjectives while reinforcing
our position asaleadingprovider of solutions for
complex offshoredevelopments.
Unlocking new oil and gas
– the 20K challenge
The search for new resources has pushed the
hydrocarbon industry into increasingly demanding
environments, requiring solutions for more complex
reservoirs. Advances in technology have unlocked
new geological plays, breathing new life into mature
regions and opening up fresh frontiers. One of the
most significant breakthroughs has been the ability
todevelop reservoirs with extreme pressures,
creating new deepwater opportunities in the US Gulf.
Leveraging its proven expertise with reservoirs
at15,000 psi, Subsea7 has pioneered pipeline
fabrication and installation for production ofup to
20,000 psi (20K). Critical to the fabrication of20K
pipeline is the capability to execute complex welding
of a pipe wall thickness of upto 50 millimetres,
withextremely tight welding acceptance criteria.
Subsea7’s Pipeline Group has developed industry-
leading capabilities through its technology centre in
Glasgow, UK, as well as its welding facilities in the US.
Subsea7 has established a strong track record in
delivering 20K-rated subsea developments in the US
Gulf. In 2022, we achieved a major milestone with the
region’s first 20K riser installation at Chevron’s
Anchor field.
Building on this success, we secured two additional
projects, for Beacon Offshore Energy—the
Shenandoah subsea development, completed in
2025, and the Monument field, scheduled for
installation in 2026.

Deepwater remains resilient
The spot price of Brent crude oil averaged
approximately $66 per barrel in 2025, but weakened
over the course of the year as uncertainty grew
regarding the supply-demand outlook. At the
beginning of 2026, price expectations for the year
were around $60 per barrel, compared with over
$70for the prior year. Despite this weakening of
thenear-term macro outlook, confidence in the
deepwater sub-sector remains robust.
Deepwater projects a priority for clients
Given the multi-year development cycle for
deepwater projects, client activity typically depends
upon their long-term view for oil prices, rather than
near term expectations. Added to this, the economics
of these projects are attractive, with an average
oilprice breakeven below $40 per barrel, and a
materiality and lower-carbon intensity that makes
them a strategic investment priority.
Late cycle projects add visibility
At the point of Subsea7’s involvement, significant capital
will have been invested by a client in its deepwater
development and, since January 2020, only one
significant deepwater project in our backlog has been
deferred by a year or more. None have been cancelled.
Given the very low cancellation rate and the typical
three-year duration of our contracts, we have high
visibility on the upcoming years. Our strong balance
sheet enables us to weather economic downturns
and adds confidence to our clients in our ability
todelivery.
Gas
Natural gas and gas-fired power play an important
role in the energy transition, with significantly lower
emissions than coal-fired power, while providing
support to potentially intermittent energy from
renewable sources.
A significant wave of new gas supply in the form
ofliquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity is expected
tocome online between 2026 and 2030. This is
expected to move the LNG market into surplus and
could affect sanctioning of further projects. However,
operational LNG facilities are likely to drive continued
gas development activity in order to back-fill
declining feed production from existing fields.
Inaddition, certain large gas developments remain
strategically significant, such as those driven by
national energy security in Türkiye.
In 2025, Subsea7 won new gas projects in Türkiye,
Australia, and Norway, including both greenfield and
brownfield standalone developments, as well as
projects associated with LNG facilities.
Offshore wind outlook
In January 2026, the UK government announced
theresults of the Allocation Round 7 Contracts-for-
Difference auction. This confirmed that fixed offshore
wind projects totalling 8.2 gigawatts should progress
in 2026, with installation activities by Subsea7 and
itspeers expected in 2029 and 2030. With slow
progress in many other countries, such as the
Netherlands and Germany, the news from the UK
wasimportant to the long-term outlook for the supply
and demand of offshore wind installation capacity.

Renewables
Subsea7’s Renewables business unit primarily
comprises the activities of Seaway7, a market
leader in fixed offshore wind. Seaway7 is
alsoresponsible for our activities in floating
offshore wind, although this remains early
stage and did not make a significant
contribution to the 2025 financial results.
Assuch, this business unit aligns with our
Renewables and Emerging Energies strategy.
In 2025, revenue from the Renewables business unit was
$1.2 billion, in line with the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA
improved to $202 million from $185 million in the prior year,
resulting in a margin of 16.6%, up from 15.0%. This was
driven by strong execution, and as a result of greater
selectivity in bidding and a high-grading of our backlog
since 2022. Net operating income was $75 million, up 41%
from the prior year of $53 million.
During the year, Seaway Strashnov and Seaway Alfa Lift
were active installing foundations and transition pieces
atDogger Bank C, while Seaway Ventus commenced
foundation installation at East Anglia THREE, all in the UK.
Our cable-lay vessels, Seaway Aimery, and Seaway Phoenix
were active in Taiwan and the US on the Hai Long and
Revolution projects.
Backlog
In 2025, notable new awards included the Formosa 4 and
6inter-array cable contract in Taiwan, and the BC Wind
project in Poland. Our Renewables backlog remained
steady at $2.1 billion, of which $1.1 billion is for execution
in2026.
Despite political and fiscal changes in certain geographies,
we are confident in the long-term potential for backlog
growth beyond 2030.
Capital expenditure
In 2025, capital expenditure in Renewables was $69 million,
a modest decrease from $73 million in the prior year.
Reinvestment was focused on vessel repair and maintenance,
and minor upgrades.

OUR EVOLVING APPROACH
TO SUSTAINABILITY
At Subsea7, our approach to sustainability extends beyond the way we work and the behaviourswe
value to encompass the business impacts, risks and opportunities associatedwith the transition
to lower-carbon energy sources. We prioritise material topicsthatmay influence long-term value
for the business and its stakeholders.
Governance around sustainability matters
Subsea7 recognises the importance of having a solid
governance framework around sustainability to ensure we
have the correct agenda and that it is driven by effective
leadership. For further details on sustainability governance,
see the Sustainability Statements on pages 70 to 129.
Engaging with stakeholders
Engaging with and responding to our stakeholders is
important to Subsea7’s business development and
sustained success. This involves building and maintaining
afoundation of trust and long-term relationships. By
understanding our key stakeholders’ interests and priorities,
we can better align on shared priorities and evaluate our
strategic direction within the context of their expectations.
Further details on stakeholder engagement and the types
oftopics discussed are included in the Sustainability
Statements on pages 70 to 129.
Maintaining relevance in disclosures
Starting in 2024, Subsea7 began reporting in accordance
with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
(CSRD) requirements, making 2025 the second year of
reporting under this framework. The DMA, revalidated
in2025 to ensure its ongoing relevance for this reporting
period, continues to form the basis of our disclosures
andwas recognised by the Commission de Surveillance
duSecteur Financier (CSSF) for its quality in its review,
‘CSRD – 1
st
year of reporting by issuers: Results of a
reviewof corporate practices’.
We continue to refine the completeness and clarity of
ourdisclosures by providing information around various
management practices, policies and controls to support
greater transparency on several topics.
Subsea7’s sustainability disclosures in line with the CSRD
are reported in the dedicated Sustainability Statements
section of this report.

Embedding sustainability across our business
Subsea7’s approach to sustainability is guided by a
materiality assessment to ensure we prioritise the impacts,
risks and opportunities that are of significant importance
toour stakeholders, as well as those that could have a
material influence on our business and the world around us.
Taking this approach allows sustainability matters to be
integrated within strategic planning to support future
preparedness and long-term profitability.
At the end of 2023, we undertook a double materiality
assessment (DMA) to validate whether our current material
topics continue to be appropriate and to identify emerging
issues. The findings of the assessment showed a total
of10 material topics, which represent Subsea7’s most
important focus areas. We have simplified these topics
under a three-pillar sustainability framework presented
onthe next page.
Our sustainability framework is designed to enable Subsea7
to positively contribute to the global sustainability agenda
while achieving long-term value creation for the business
and its stakeholders: i) Solutions for the world’s energy
needs, focused on delivering offshore energy for today
andtomorrow and addressing our greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions; ii) Safety and people, centred on health and
safety, talent attraction, development and retention, and
diversity and inclusion; iii) Acting responsibly, maintaining
high standards of behaviour, ensuring compliance with legal
and regulatory requirements, promoting transparency and
accountability, and fostering a strong culture of integrity.
Our commitment to sustainability is integral to our strategy
and core Values. These Values, along with our Code of
Conduct, define who we are and how we conduct business.
We remain focused on these fundamental aspects of our
business and continue to uphold ethical business practices
and compliance throughout our organisation and supply
chain. Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
performance continues to be assessed by several ratings
companies and our efforts are recognised.
Since 2019, Subsea7 has been a signatory to the UN Global Compact. We remain committed to the UN
Global Compact and the 10 key principles of that compact. Our approach to respecting and protecting
human rights, providing safe and fair labour practices, safeguarding the environment and working against
corruption in all forms is central to our ways of working and our sustainability efforts. By operating from
these strong principles, we ensure we are making our best efforts to uphold the commitment
tosupporting these global challenges and driving towards a more sustainable future.
We are pleased with the progress we are making in support of these principles.

management, condition monitoring and remote operations.
The Group’s experience in offshore project execution positions
itwell tosupport the offshore electrification of facilities, which
will enable transformative solutions tosubsea developments.
The Renewables business has over a decade of experience
in delivering offshore wind projects. It offers services that
include the installation of foundations, inter-array cables and
substations. Seaway7 is one of only a few contractors that
can provide EPCI expertise and can, therefore, offer a
varietyof contracting models ranging from single-scope
transportation and installation, to integrated multi-scope
andfull EPCI contracts. Supporting these activities is its
fleetof vessels, comprising heavy lifting, construction, cable
installation and jack-up vessels for turbine installation, along
with a fleet of six heavy transportation vessels. This enables
us to support the market sector and deliver on our wider
renewables and emerging energies strategy.
The world’s demand for energy continues to grow. Whether
this demand is met from lower-carbon-intensity oil and
gasdevelopments or from renewables, Subsea7’s strategy
places the Group at theheart of the energy transition and
ready to meet the needs ofourclients.
Offshore operations are required for both Subsea and
Conventional as well as Renewables projects. These involve
large, highly complex, technologically rich systems in diverse
locations, where the Group often faces harsh and challenging
conditions. Weather is of greater concern as the world
experiences more extreme climate-related events. With
theexception of certain long-term contracts and day-rate
inspection, repair and maintenance work, the Group generally
contracts on a fixed-price basis. The costs and margins
realised on projects can vary from the original estimated
amounts due to a number of factors, sometimes resulting
inareduced margin or loss.
Additional operating costs incurred as a result of cost
increases in the supply chain, as well as general inflation,
isan example of how certain external factors can negatively
impact margins. The Group continuously assesses the risks
Effective risk management isfundamental
tothe Group’s performance and creates
sustainable value for ourstakeholders.
The Group’s approach is to identify key risks at an early
stage and develop actions to measure, monitor and
mitigateagainst their likelihood and impact. This approach
isembedded across the Group at executive level and
throughout the operational and functional specialty levels.
Risk management is an integral part ofour day-to-day
activities but annually we perform a wider risk assessment
toidentify our principal business, strategic, regulatory and
sustainability risks. Priority risks are consolidated at Group
level and are evaluated by the Executive Risk Committee;
the≈assessment of these risks includes identifying the
short,medium or longer-term nature of each.
The Group’s operations and its strategy for oil and gas,
renewables and emerging energies sources are driven by
three business units. The Subsea and Conventional business
unit focuses on subsea developments for lower-carbon-
intensity oil and gas and applies its many years of experience
and capabilities in delivering SURF and CCS. Renewables –
through the Seaway7 brand – is focused on offshore wind,
while the Corporate business unit focuses on early-stage
activities in the subsea hydrogen and emerging energies
markets. Climate-related risks, challenges and pressures
area key consideration in the Group delivering its strategic
objectives and are, therefore, subject to ongoing assessment
as part ofthe risk management processes inplace.
The Subsea and Conventional business unit executes large
and complex offshore projects for the energy industry, in all
water depths, under the Subsea7 brand. Delivering a full
range of early concept and design, EPCI services utilising
pioneering products as well as digital and lower-carbon-

involved in fixed-price contracts and uses its negotiated
contract terms to mitigate certain aspects of these risks.
The Group operates in a predominantly cyclical industry
where activity is strongly influenced by the current and
forecast price of energy, as well as the impact of decisions
taken by governing bodies, particularly regarding regulation,
climate change, mitigation and adaptation, subsidiesand
fiscal incentives. While the world’s demand for energy brings
opportunities, the Group must remain cognisant of this
cyclical nature and the speed at which the energy transition
will take place, exercising discipline and maintaining a strong
focus on risk-adjusted value creation.
The Group’s risk management processes assist its
abilitytorespond to changes in activity levels and apply
appropriate measures to adjust its cost base as far as
practical, while atthe same time ensuring that an
acceptable risk profile is maintained.
Roles and responsibilities
The Board of Directors maintains oversight of the
Group’srisk management activities and internal control
processes. The Corporate Governance, Nominations and
Risk Committee reviews the Group’s risk management
framework and from time to time makes recommendations.
This year’s recommendations have enhanced the format of
how priority risk information is presented to the Board. The
Committee also evaluates assessment criteria of principal
and priority risks and reviews mitigation measures. The
Executive Management Team is responsible for designing
and implementing a risk management framework from which
the business maintains appropriate systems and procedures
for the identification and management of risks, while ensuring,
subject to an acceptable level of risk, that the Group is able
to optimise stakeholder value. The Executive Risk Committee
is composed of members of the Group’s Executive
Management Team and reports to the Chief Executive
Officer. This committee convenes to: evaluate emerging,
principal and priority risks, perform annual assessments
torank top priority risks and their mitigation measures
andreview the Group’s risk management procedures.
Sustainability-related risks, impacts and opportunities are
identified through a combination of the Group’s existing risk
management framework and by way of a double materiality
assessment. These risks are assessed in the same way
asthe Group’s principal and priority risks. The Executive
Sustainability Committee has responsibility for establishing
the Group’s reporting framework for: EU Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive and EU Taxonomy.
The Group’s CEO determines the level ofrisk that can be
taken by the Group’s business units on a country-by-country
basis and by functional management. This is managed through
Group policies and delegated authority levels, which provide
the means by which risks are reviewed and escalated to the
appropriate management level within the Group, including the
Board of Directors.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Principal risks are those risks that, given the Group’s current
position, could materially threaten its business model, future
performance, prospects, solvency, liquidity or reputation,
orprevent theGroup from delivering its strategic objectives.
The means by which the Group mitigates or eliminates
theserisks are shown on pages 30 to 47.
Additional risks and uncertainties that the Group is unaware
of, or currently deems immaterial, may inthe future have a
material adverse effect on the Group’s reputation, operations,
financial performance and position. However, the Board
ofDirectors believes that the Group’s risk management
andinternal control systems have assisted, and will continue
to assist, the Group to identify and respond to such risks.
Risk management and internal control
The Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of the
Group’s system of risk management and internal control,
supported by the Corporate Governance, Nominations
and Risk Committee to review its effectiveness.
TheBoard of Directors recognises that any system
ofinternal control can only provide reasonable and not
absolute assurance that material financial misstatement
and/or fraud will be detected or that the risk of failure
toachieve business objectives is eliminated.
The Group’s systems of internal control operate through
a number of processes. The more significant include:
• delegated authority level matrices with certain matters
being reserved for the Board of Directors
• annual review of the strategy, plans and budgets of
individual business units to identify the key risks to
theachievement of the Group’s objectives
• monthly financial and operational performance reviews
against budgets
• individual tender and contract reviews at various levels
throughout the Group
• capital expenditure and investment reviews
andauthorisation
• regular reviews and reporting on the effectiveness
ofthe Group’s HSSEQ processes
• Group treasury policies
• Group taxation compliance and reporting policies
andsystems
• the Group’s Whistleblowing policy, which allows
individuals to raise concerns in confidence about
potential breaches of the Code of Conduct
• Data Governance Council – reviews and monitors the
Data Privacy Council (DPC) work in ensuring the
Group’s adherence to GDPR
• quarterly reporting to the Executive Management Team
from the Global Applications and Systems Steering
Committee (GASSC) on the integrity and security
ofitsbusiness and IT systems, including cyber risk
• cyclical reviews of all non-wholly owned subsidiaries,
joint ventures and associates by the Joint Venture
Steering Committee.
The Group’s internal audit function, which reports
directly to the Audit and Sustainability Committee,
performs independent reviews of key business financial
processes and controls and other areas considered to
be of high business risk. The Audit and Sustainability
Committee annually reviews and approves the internal
audit plan and receives regular updates on internal
audit’s findings and the actions taken by management to
address these. The role of the Executive Risk Committee
is to meet bi-annually to review the risks identified as
impacting or having the potential to impact the Group’s
operations and strategic objectives, and to discuss
emerging risks.

RISK
STRATEGIC
In 2025, the Group announced its proposal to merge
withSaipem by way of an EU cross border merger of
equals. This remains subject to regulatory clearance
andapprovals but if successful will create a new
combined company called Saipem7, bringing together
complementary capabilities, vessels, project execution
strengths and geographic presence. A transaction of
thisnature carries many risks, including the risk of not
achieving regulatory approval to proceed. Throughout
the process it can also create a distraction to ongoing
business operations and the delivery of other strategic
objectives. As we move through regulatory clearance,
future risks such as adapting and integrating new
waysof working could lead to short-term interruptions
tooperational efficiency. Risks may also include new
andinherited legal and contractual liabilities, as well
asother operational and financial risks, all of which
aretakenvery seriously.
As part of our ongoing business, the Group recognises
that technology and enabling products, early engagement
and engineering capabilities, digital solutions, collaboration
and partnerships and integrated services are market
differentiators and are key to delivering on its strategy.
The Group’s strategy is to create sustainable value
bydelivering the offshore energy transition solutions the
world needs. By continuing to improve our solutions and
the way we deliver them we can continue the evolution
towards lower-carbon-intensity oil and gasdevelopments,
as well as enable the growth of renewables and emerging
energies. This requires new products and solutions to
make it possible but which bring with them the risk
thatdemand for innovative designs, systems, products
andsolutions accelerates into the construction and
installation phase without sufficient time to transition
from development to production.
The Subsea and Conventional business is focused on
deepwater developments. These projects are often
complex, however they offer our clients attractive
economic return and once sanctioned they are rarely
deferred, giving good visibility on future work and the
pipeline of activity.
Integrated services has become a preferred contracting
model for many of our clients and is offered through
Subsea Integration Alliance, our partnership with
OneSubsea. As demand for energy continues to grow,
many clients are looking to collaborate or partner with us
on a single-source basis, minimising the tendering phase,
reducing the time required to complete developments
and achieve first production or first power. While the
Group has developed the knowledge and ability
toidentify, manage and mitigate the risks associated
with integrated services, and exercises discipline when
committing assets, both of these models could threaten
the Group’s performance as a result of external factors
beyond the Group’s control.
Across the renewables market, finding the correct
solutions and delivering on these is key, as is achieving
abalanced risk profile with experienced clients and in
countries where the regulatory environment is well
understood. With improved results and a backlog of
contracts with a better risk balance than prior years,
Seaway7 is well-positioned to deliver on the Group’s
strategy to enable the growth of renewables.
The size and scale of offshore wind turbines continues to
increase with a trend towards 20MW turbines for certain
developments. This brings with it a risk that the size and
complexity for the installation of the balance of plant
elements could exceed the capabilities of our current
asset base. Future investment in the fleet, is subject to
commitments from clients securing long-term utilisation
of assets, thereby giving a return on investment.
MITIGATION
The proposed merger is the Group’s largest to date
andis managed by a designated internal team with
abroad range of skills including project management
anddelivery, legal, financial, operational and other highly
experienced core function technical experts. This team
is supported by external advisers. Working together,
these teams ensure that operational management is
engaged in the various phases of the planning and that
there is awareness of and adherence to the applicable
regulatory rules and requirements. This also minimises
the level of interruption and distraction to project teams
working on existing projects, those focused on securing
future backlog as well as those managing the business.
Technology-related risks are mitigated by employing
qualified personnel, as well as working to industry and
professional engineering standards combined with strict
adherence to the Group’s engineering management
andcontrol systems and procedures. The Group has
amulti-stage gate process for the implementation
ofnewtechnologies and products.
The Subsea and Conventional business is focused on
deepwater developments and while these are complex
projects, the Group’s fleet of specialist vessels and prior
track record of project execution position it well for
selection in these projects.
The Group brings extensive experience and engineering
capabilities from a proven track record of project
management and execution in the oil and gas sector
tothe offshore wind and emerging energies sectors,
through investing in the right people and having the right
technical capabilities and support assets, as well as
through keeping pace with engineering developments,
technologies and installation methodologies.
The Group values long-term partnering with experienced
clients and operating in countries with well-established
regulatory positions, as this allows greater certainty
andability to manage the risks involved in the energy
transition as well as achieving a contractual risk profile

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
RISK
COMPETITION
The Group faces competition from time-to-time
to win contracts to ensure a sustainable backlog
offuture work across the business units. This
competition may result in pricing pressures or a
change to a contractor’s risk profile, as competitors
strive to win contracts and secure work. Depending
on the market cycle, less favourable contractual terms
that are more onerous for the contractor may increase
liabilities, both actual and contingent, and adversely
impact the Group’s financial performance and position.
Furthermore, the competitive landscape could include
further alliances as well as vertical and horizontal
consolidations, to achieve economies of scale and
scope and wider control of the value chain. Such
initiatives could represent a threat tothe Group’s
profile as a specialised offshore service provider.
MITIGATION
The Group endeavours to reduce its exposure
to competition by differentiating itself from competitors.
The Group’s experience and resources, including
itspeople, versatile and modern fleet, and proprietary
technology and digital delivery offerings, help it respond
effectively to challenges from competitors. The Group
seeks, within the framework of the business’s
contractual risk profile, to promote and maintain
industry-recognised balanced contracting forms.
The Group continues to partner with key clients and form
alliances with other offshore energy services companies
to offer packaged solutions and tocontribute to the early
development stages ofprojects, as well as offering
cost-effective and efficient technical solutions.
Achieving a balanced allocation of risk remains central
toprofitability in the offshore wind sector, and Subsea7
remains disciplined in this area and has the necessary
expertise and capabilities to deliver complex projects
and market its EPCI track record. Its versatile fleet
andtrack record are differentiators in relation to smaller
contractors or new entrants and position the Group well
to continue working with clients across the sectors and
to maintain contractual discipline to achieve abalanced,
manageable risk profile.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
RISK
ECONOMIC
The financial strength and the economic viability
ofour client’s projects can be impacted by the
fluctuation of energy prices and energy mix, which
can be driven by global demand, political conditions,
technological development or climate considerations.
These, as well as other variable factors, determine
theGroup’s level of activity in the sectors in which it
operates, and are outside the Group’s control but can
have a direct impact on the operational and financial
performance of the Group. Any significant change
inthe level, timing or nature of clients’ expenditure
planscould adversely impact the Group’s order
intake, financial performance, position and prospects.
These factors may result in reduced levels of activity
across certain parts of our business but, conversely,
lead to a higher concentration of work activity across
fewer countries and with fewer clients, exposing
theGroup to certain aggregation risks which may
materialise by way of significant change to those
countries’ political strategy or regulatory regime or
from an interruption in the client’s planned activities.
As part of theGroup’s commitment to proactively
participate in the energy transition, it combines many
years of experience in offshore project execution
withamodern and an agile fleet to support the needs
ofitsclients. Focusing on lower-carbon-intensity
oilandgas developments, places the Group in a
strongermarket position to select projects with
attractive commercial terms while also balancing
amanageable geographical spread.
MITIGATION
The Group closely monitors market activity and
collaborates with clients to understand their future
project and expenditure plans. Early engagement in the
design phase of an energy project enables the Group
tobetter assess the risks and opportunities and the
economic implications of projects as they progress
towards construction. Following contract award, the
Group can implement cost-reduction measures to adapt
the projects to market conditions and work within the
terms of the contracts to mitigate the effect of client-led
changes to project schedules or work scopes. The
Group has trialled alternative fuels on various vessels
across the fleet and is positioned to make a change
oncealternative fuels are available globally and at a
commercial scale.
The financial strength and solvency of our
clients and suppliers is a specific area of focus before
entering into contracts. The Group has successfully
managed its cost base and continues to look for
waystoimprove efficiency and delivery through the
implementation of digitalisation and standardisation.
Apotential increase in demand is managed through
supplementing the fleet with the use of third-party
vessels. Beyond the fleet, theGroup engages with
keystakeholders to explain the Group’s approach and
initiatives on energy transition, climate change and to
ensure it maintains long-term alignment on economic
activities. We also work with our clients and suppliers
toensure that risk on pricing and availability is addressed
through contractual measures.
The Group seeks to diversify selectively into
newmarkets, including emerging energies markets,
andhas a diverse portfolio of projects, which allows an
element of mitigation across its global markets.

tosupport both tenders and projects, but also to
ensure no interruption to the maintenance and
investment plans of the fleet. Access to transportation
companies, shipyards, ports and fabrication yards,
which can provide the appropriate level of expertise
as well as accommodating the size and scale of the
fleet and project infrastructure, is key to maintaining
the Group’s business operations. With each country
having specific political, economic and social
characteristics that can give rise to various risks
anduncertainties, the Group’s business operations,
project execution, fleet investment and financial
performance can be adversely impacted as a result
of, but not limited to:
• economic instability
• political strategy, legal, fiscal and regulatory
uncertainty and change, including individual
countries’ commitments, targets and measures
toaddress climate change
• onerous local content obligations
• sanction, trade or tariff restrictions and

• civil or political unrest, including war
• regime change.
MITIGATION
Country or regional risks are identified and evaluated
before and during Group operations in such markets.
Appropriate risk responses are developed and
implemented to mitigate the likelihood and impact
ofidentified risks. The Group adopts a proactive and
rigorous approach to assessing and mitigating these
risks and, where possible, looks to develop local or

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
Our clients seek cost-effective solutions to develop
energy resources, particularly in deep water and
challenging offshore environments, to enhance the
full-field lifecycle. The Group’s experience of
designing and executing projects across the globe
helps create sustainable value by delivering offshore
energy transition solutions. To make this possible,
theGroup differentiates itself by focusing on early
engagement and system innovation, collaboration and
partnerships, integrated services, sustainable delivery,
digital solutions and enabling products. Any failure
bythe Group to anticipate or respond appropriately to
any of these elements couldadversely affect the
Group’s ability to compete effectively for, and win,
new work or achieve its targets and objectives of
making possible the deliveryof offshore energy
fortoday andtomorrow.
The Group’s ambition for proactive participation
intheenergy transition is focused through two
keyareas: lower-carbon-intensity oil and gas
developments, andrenewables and emerging
energies. Technology advancements are key to
progressing in these areas. The Group has to
balancethe risks of not investing sufficiently
andlosing market position versus investing in or
developing technology that becomessuperseded
orimmediately obsolete.
Introducing technology, systems or products
that are insufficiently mature or unsatisfactorily
implemented to keep pace with the timescale
expected by society, governing bodies and countries
to provide lower-carbon energy in a sustainable and
cost-efficient way could have an adverse reputational
and financial impact for the Group.
MITIGATION
The Group monitors industry trends and collaborates
with clients to understand their technology requirements.
This allows the Group toeffectively invest in developing
differentiated andcost-effective technologies to meet
current andanticipated client demand.
In developing new technologies, systems and products,
the risks associated with selecting and pursuing
appropriate technological solutions, technical completion,
commercialisation and successful implementation are
carefully considered and addressed through adherence
to industry-wide engineering standards and codes, technical
readiness levels and contractual gate controls operated
by knowledgeable and experienced Subsea7 personnel.

PEOPLE
The Group, like many businesses, carries the risk
offailing to attract and retain suitably skilled and
capable personnel across all business units at a
timewhen societal preferences, particularly in the
younger demographic, are towards opportunities
inenergy transition rather than oil and gas. Failure to
attract or retain talent or to maintain a collaborative
working environment could adversely impact the
Group’s ability to execute projects and its future
growth prospects.
The Group is a signatory to the UN Global Compact
and is committed to its 10 principles that summarise
responsibilities to respect human rights and to avoid
and address any adverse impacts from the Group’s
activities. The Group is conscious that the geographic
diversity of its operations and the many different
types of work required to be performed by the Group’s
workforce and its suppliers and subcontractors can
present increased risks of human rights violations and
unacceptable labour practices. The Group is particularly
focused on those human rights risks that would have
the greatest impact, such as child labour, slavery and
human trafficking, and other types of forced labour.
MITIGATION
The Group’s commitment to lowering its own emissions
but also finding solutions to support a lower-carbon
energy transition, and its strong presence across
alloffshore energy types including renewables and
emerging energies, isa differentiator. Having the ability
to offer career opportunities as well as offering modern
and flexible working arrangements, continues to generate
positive employer engagement.
The Group utilises medium-term business projections
toassess resource requirements, which allows timely,
corrective intervention to appropriately resource the
organisation in terms ofsize, profile, competency mix
and location.
The Group monitors attrition by function and geography
and has developed appropriate remuneration and incentive
packages to help attract and retain key employees.
Performance management and succession planning
processes are in place to develop staff and identify
high-potential individuals for key roles in the business.
The Group has a human rights programme designed to
identify and manage human rights risks, with a particular
focus on child labour, slavery and human trafficking, and
other types of forced labour, consistent with the UN
Global Compact and the Building Responsibly Worker
Welfare Principles. With the support of external experts,
it has designed in-person training for delivery to a target
audience of employees across the Group who have a
role to play in identifying and managing the relevant risks.
The Group conducts risk assessments to identify and
understand where we might find risks and supports the
creation of action plans to address high-risk areas and
any gaps in our policies and procedures. The Group
reinforces the importance of compliance with the
Group’s Code of Conduct and its Code of Conduct

COMPLIANCE AND ETHICS
The Group is committed to conducting business
inaccordance with applicable law and the highest
ethical standards. However, there is a risk that its
employees, representatives or other persons
associated with it may take actions that breach
theGroup’s Code of Conduct or applicable laws,
including, but not limited to, bribery or corruption.
The Group assesses such risks, which vary across
itsgeographical locations. The Group has identified
the following as being the most significant corruption
risks it faces:
• small bribes and facilitation payments, especially
inrelation to the movement of vessels, people
andmaterials
• illicit enrichment of public officials through hidden
interests in local partners or suppliers that local
content laws require us to use
• bribery to win work
• bribery to get variation orders approved
• bribery to get work certified or paid.
The above risks may increase when working with
partners or third parties. These risks are inherent
inour sector, in particular in countries where local
content requirements are significant.
Any compliance and ethics breach could result in
monetary penalties, convictions, debarment and damage
to the Group’s reputation and could impact its ability
to do business.
MITIGATION
The Group is confident that the risks identified are
adequately managed by its compliance and ethics
programme and, in many cases, byits clients’ robust
procurement procedures. Integrity is one of the Group’s
Values and the Group has an Ethics Policy Statement
and Code of Conduct, which clearly set out the behaviours
expected ofitsemployees and those who work for it,
including suppliers and other third parties. Thesepolicies
are regularly updated to ensure they remain current.
The Group has a compliance and ethics programme
underpinned by its Values and designed in accordance
with international best practice to embed the Code of
Conduct, prevent bribery and corruption, and manage
compliance and ethics risks generally. The programme
includes financial controls, risk assessments
and procedures for managing third-party risks.
Mandatory annual compliance and ethics e-learning, and
an annual Integrity Day for employees, raise awareness,
highlight the potential consequences and empower and
embed a culture of integrity. Employees are encouraged
to raise concerns about possible non-compliance
through an externally administered whistleblowing line.
There is a strong focus on a culture of ethics and
integrity. More information can be found on our website
and in our Sustainability Statements on pages 72 to 126.
A committee comprising the members of the
ExecutiveManagement Team sets objectives for

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND
OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS, CYBER
RISK AND SECURITY
The Group’s operations depend on the availability
andsecurity of a number of key information
technology (IT) and operational technology systems.
The Group’s investment in its digitalisation
programme combined with the acquisition of data-
driven businesses and thespeed at which AI is
advancing means the risk of these systems being
disrupted or compromised by ageneral failure or by
cyberattacks is increasingly relevant. Reliance on the
use of data and cloud storage facilities has the
associated risks of IT, operational technology,
systems and cybersecurity failures. Such risks
include, but are not limited to:
• unauthorised access to key operational, financialor
group-wide systems
• shadow IT
• malware
• theft and misappropriation of sensitive information
• fraud attacks
• data management and non-compliance with
legislation such as the EU General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR)
• increasing use of IT to interconnect with multiple
stakeholders and the possibility of such
interconnectivity being disrupted to their detriment
• denial of access to or utilisation of assets withthe
risk of a potential loss or damage event
• emerging threats, including advanced attacker
tactics and techniques, and the use of social media
and artificial intelligence.
Such breaches in security could adversely
impact the Group’s ability to maintain ongoing
business operations and lead to financial and asset
loss, reputational damage, potential physical harm,
loss of client and shareholder confidence and could
result in regulatory breach and subsequent penalties.
MITIGATION
The Group recognises the increased frequency of
cybersecurity threats andthat with the speed and pace
of AI advancements, the Group must adapt its protection
measures. It reviews its infrastructure, suppliers, policies,
procedures and defences to mitigate associated risks
and keeps abreast of risk intelligence by engaging
market-leading specialists where appropriate.
It assesses the technology framework against approved
independent standards and maintains a programme
ofinvestment in new hardware, software and systems
toensure the integrity of itsIT security and defences.
TheGroup works withrecognised independent industry
experts to audit and test the sustainability of its security
systems and assesses the business and operational
impact of a cyber event, analysing varied scenarios,
interruption types and the effectiveness
ofrecoveryplans.
The Group has a number of IT policies, including apolicy
on information security, designed to protect its systems
and ensure their availability and integrity as well as
combat attempted fraud. These policies are regularly
reviewed to ensure they continue to address existing
and emerging information security, cyber-maritime
andcyber-crime risks as well as GDPR.
Mandatory internal e-learning courses and regular
phishing simulation tests are used to maintain a high level
of awareness among the workforce of ITsecurity risks
and of the Group’s procedures to manage them.
The Group’s Executive Vice President of Projects &
Operations has responsibility for ensuring the setting

BIDDING
The Group wins most of its work through a competitive
tendering process. A significant proportion of the
Group’s work is undertaken byway of fixed-price
contracts, which exposes theGroup to increases
insupply chain costs. Failure to secure and manage
costs could impact the Group’s financial performance.
Risks include theinability to maintain price validity
from our supply chain if there is commodity
pricefluctuation, rapid price escalation, delay
inprojectaward, or re-phasing that leads to
scheduleamendments.
An inability to understand, learn from prior
experienceand respond appropriately to operational
and contractual risks or accurately estimate project
costs could have an adverse impact on the Group’s
legal liability and financial performance and position.
Our clients’ financial strength and the economic
viability of their projects can be impacted by multiple
factors that are outside the control of the Group
and,in some instances, clients may request specific
payment terms or payment deferrals, which can
havea negative impact on the financial position
oftheGroup.
MITIGATION
All bids are subject to the Group’s estimating and
tendering processes and authority levels. Cost estimates
are prepared on the basis of a detailed standard costing
analysis, and the selling price, contract terms and financial
milestones are based on the Group’s commercial
contracting standards and market conditions and,
whereappropriate, the financial due diligence of the
parties involved. Where possible, key supply chain or
subcontractor terms and conditions are negotiated
alongside the main client contract to reduce the risk
ofnon-alignment of contracting terms or the absence
ofprice certainty. Volatility in commodity prices can
bemitigated by including contractual adjustment
mechanisms with both clients and suppliers.
Before the tender is submitted, a formal multi-gate
review process is performed. Tenders are first reviewed
at a regional level where the technical, operational, legal
and financial aspects of the proposal are considered in
detail. Completion of the regional review process
requires the formal approval of the appropriate level
ofmanagement. Dependent on the tender value and
complexity such as technology and partnering, there is
anescalating level of approval required. Tenders meeting
specific financial and risk criteria are reviewed and
approved by the Tender Committee of the Board
ofDirectors.

specialist companies to develop new or emerging
business opportunities. A failure to find an appropriate
joint venture partner or a failure by a joint venture
partner to perform to the standards required by
thejoint venture agreement could result in negative
financial and reputational impact to the Group.
Misalignment between Subsea7 and a joint
venturepartner on strategic matters could lead
to a deadlock, impacting negatively, inter alia, on
project execution. In addition, the failure of a joint
venture partner to meet its financial obligations could
result in an adverse impact on the Group’s financial
performance and position.
MITIGATION
The Group seeks to ensure that selected joint venture
partners not only have the necessary expertise, local
knowledge and suitable financial profile but are also
ableto meet the Group’s health, safety, security,
environmental and quality (HSSEQ) standards and its
Code of Conduct obligations. The Group has established
appropriate governance and oversight mechanisms to
monitor the performance of its joint ventures and joint
venture partners with regard to such matters.
RISK
PROJECT EXECUTION
The Group executes complex projects, and a failure
to have the best people, assets and technological
solutions and engineering procedures to deliver these
could result in failure and be damaging to the Group
both reputationally and financially. As well as project
execution, a failure to meet and achieve the
necessary contractual requirements could have
several adverse consequences, including contract
disputes, rejected claims and cost overruns, which
could expose the Group to operational and financial
losses that are material to the Group’s overall
performance, position and reputation.
For most contracts, the offshore execution phase,
which generally involves the use of either single or
multiple vessels, is usually the most hazardous, as
thisphase is exposed, among other risks, to adverse
or extreme weather conditions or the risk of loss or
damage to the contracted works. These hazards can
result in scheduling adjustments, damage tovessels
and equipment, repair or rework, injury tothose
working offshore or financial loss.
The Group must also continue to innovate and
develop products and solutions and maintain a fleet that
allow it to deliver lower-carbon developments as well as
to enable the growth of renewables and emerging
energies. Errors or defects in product design and
production could expose the Group to additional
warranty or product liability risks. The size and
scaleof offshore infrastructure, particularly in
therenewables sector, could stretch beyond the
currentfleet’s capabilities or limit the supply chain
tofewer participants.
MITIGATION
The Group assigns a project management team to
everyproject. Every project is assessed by regional
management using the Project Monthly Status Report
review process. These reviews cover project progress,
risk management, cost management, financial performance
and sensitivity analysis. Detailed assessments of costs and
revenue are estimated and reported upon, taking into
account project performance, planning schedules,
contract variations, claims, risk exposure, allowances
and contingency analysis. The Group continues to
promote a balanced approach to risk allocation and has
supported the International Maritime Contractors
Association in producing a set of contractual principles
for the renewables industry. The Group is selective about
which projects it undertakes, ensuring that those ittakes
on have a balanced risk profile where the risks retained
are understood and can be managed.
The Group factors the risk of adverse weather
conditions into the design of its vessels, equipment
andprocedures and project scheduling, as well as
thetraining of its offshore workforce. It also works
tomitigate potential adverse financial consequences
whennegotiating contractual terms with its clients.
Innovative products are commercialised after rigorous
testing that is subject to a hierarchy of industry-recognised

RISK
SUPPLY CHAIN
The supply chain is critical to the Group’s operational
efficiency and therefore any factors which results in
areduced choice of suppliers affects the Group’s
operational and financial performance and could
result in longer lead times and higher costs.
Suppliers could face financial difficulty affecting
theirability to perform, and, in more severe scenarios,
this could result in suppliers being made insolvent.
Other factors such as pandemics, extreme weather,
financial uncertainty, civil unrest, political uncertainty,
war or other unforeseen external factors could cause
significant interruption affecting elements of the supply
chain, affecting our ability to deliver our clients’
projects and causing disruption to ongoing Group
capital expenditure initiatives such as vessel
construction, dry-dockings and upgrades.
Our supply chain is impacted by world events and
rising inflation as well as increased demand. In light
ofincreased geographical instability, suppliers across
many countries are redirecting their focus to prioritise
home country defence initiatives. The war in Ukraine
and consequent sanctions on Russia, increasing
threats of trade sanctions, export control and trade
tariffs from certain jurisdictions and the likely
retaliations continue to pose risks to the Group’s
operations. Unexpected increases in supply chain
pricing or delays in delivering products could affect
project scheduling as well as negatively impact
theGroup’s financial performance.
The resultant time delays or increased costs could
lead to irrecoverable costs to the Group and the
imposition of financial penalties by clients, as well
asreputational damage and reduced competitiveness.
Cost is a necessary consideration in the selection
ofkey suppliers and balancing this with quality
andcontrol assurance is a risk. Faulty or damaged
components could result in additional project costs
that may not be fully recoverable from the supplier
and would be borne by the Group.
Increasing legislative requirements in relation to
sustainability topics imposed on the supply chain,
coupled with the potential failure of suppliers to
accurately measure and provide reliable information
on their sustainability performance, puts the Group
atrisk of working with suppliers who are not wholly
compliant with the applicable legislation and could
limit the Group’s ability to accurately report its
ownperformance.
MITIGATION
The Group seeks to develop strong, long-term
relationships with high-quality and competent suppliers,
working to balance costs at a sustainable level and not
only engage on a lowest-bid basis. Long-term contractual
arrangements and the use of collaboration models as
appropriate allow us to secure supplier commitment
andaccess in the current market as well as into the
future, especially with our key category suppliers. We
aredeveloping supplier strategies, and partnerships with
key suppliers, to service our energy transition clients. We
are diversifying our supply chain by finding new suppliers,
in some cases in different industries and new regions,
which helps the Group to mitigate the risk of single-source
suppliers exiting the sector.
Our supplier sourcing, qualification, screening, monitoring
and assurance processes and procedures are designed
to identify potential risks in our supply chain. Regular
engagement with our key suppliers and ensuring the
relevant topics are on the agenda help to reinforce our
shared commitment to building long-term value through
sustainable supply chain management.
The financial profile and outlook of the Group’s key
suppliers is reviewed during the pre-qualification process
for suppliers and is considered prior to entering into
project-related commitments. We are leveraging digital
tools such as SAP Ariba throughout the entire supplier
lifecycle to improve productivity and maintain reasonable
levels of assurance that we can continue working with
such suppliers. Unforeseen external factors leading
tointerruptions in supply chain delivery are difficult to
manage; however, the Group evaluates these risks and
where possible will seek to avoid single-source suppliers
and will seek to mitigate the financial impact of any
interruptions through appropriate contractual terms
andconditions. These may include back-to-back
supplierpricing, index-linked pricing and a balanced
cost-escalation mechanism where appropriate.
If necessary, appropriate guarantees or performance-
related bonds are requested from our key suppliers.
Aspart of the supplier selection process, the Group
engages qualified quality assurance and quality control
specialists, and there is close collaboration between
supply chain management and engineering. Both quality
and engineering functions also play an active role
throughout the duration of a project, with teams on
theground at key supplier locations to ensure quality
standards and timelines for delivery are met and
assurance policies are followed.
We are engaging with our key suppliers to better
understand their sustainability commitments and
wherethey are on their journey towards meeting their
objectives. This allows us to prioritise and focus on
ensuring thatwe work with a sustainable supply chain, in
line with the Group’s own priorities and focus areas.

resultin significant commercial, legal and reputational
damageor potential disbarment from working in
theaffected country.
The worldwide nature of the Group’s operating
activities carries the potential for significant health
risks and disruption to its business operations.
Communicable or infectious diseases can expose
theGroup to operational disruption and increased
costs as a result of unexpected business
interruptions or measures required to ensure the
safecontinuation of the business.
The risks to the Group include additional costs
tocontinue normal operational activities, revised
arrangements to work safely in accordance with
changes made in the law, quarantining or isolating
crew and medical facilities and logistical issues
associated with the international transit of
vesselsand people.
MITIGATION
The Group is focused on continuously monitoring
HSSEQ performance at all levels and actively motivates,
influences and guides the workforces’ individual and
collective behaviour.
The Group is committed to protecting the health,
wellbeing and safety of its people and those working
onits sites and vessels, as well as minimising its impact
on the environment. The Group has an HSSEQ policy
and detailed HSSEQ procedures designed to identify,
assessand reduce such risks while ensuring compliance
withrelevant laws and regulations. The policy and
procedures are subject to review, monitoring and
certification byanindependent, internationally
recognised specialist firm.
The Group mitigates exposure to the risk of
communicable or infectious diseases by developing
health procedures and medical screening that adhere
tothe guidance and incorporate the best practice set
outby world health organisations and industry experts
and for offshore operations, in compliance with a vessel’s
flag state.
DELIVERY AND OPERATIONAL RISKS CONTINUED
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
RISK
FLEET MANAGEMENT
The Group has a fleet of vessels, which are required
for the successful delivery of its projects. These
vessels operate in a number of regions that are
subject to political, fiscal, legal and regulatory risks.
Risks also include regulatory requirements related to
the crewing of the vessels in the regions where they
are operating. Failure to manage such risks could lead
to delays and have an adverse impact on the Group’s
financial performance and position.
Lack of vessel availability is a risk. Uncertainty
in operational vessel schedules may lead to non-
availability for other projects in the tendering or
execution phase. Vessel availability could also be
negatively impacted by delays to vessel construction,
completion of maintenance, vessel upgrading or
dry-docking activities. Access to shipyards, ports
andfacilities on a worldwide basis is key to ensuring
that time-efficient maintenance and construction
programmes are achieved. An inability to utilise
certain locations could significantly impact business
operations and project scheduling and result in
contractual penalties, reputational damage and
adversely affect the financial performance of
theGroup.
In extreme circumstances, the non-availability of a
vessel or multiple vessels through loss or irreparable
damage could compromise the Group’s ability to meet
its contractual obligations and cause financial loss.
Conversely, an under-utilisation of the vessel fleet
exposes the Group to a risk of under-recovery of
itstotal fleet costs.
To maintain the competitiveness of the fleet, the Group
from time-to-time makes significant investments in the
construction, conversion or acquisition of new vessels.
If the anticipated demandfor those vessels does not
materialise, such investments may not generate the
intended financial return.
The Group also divests assets from time-to-time,
eitherby sale for onward use or, in some cases,
fordecommissioning. It is important that assets
aredivested responsibly and that the Group takes
reasonable measures to ensure it mitigates any
futureliabilities and, in the case of decommissioning
activities, that it engages with responsible third parties
who comply with the appropriate regulations, including
the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe
and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships.
MITIGATION
The Group considers carefully the political, fiscal, legal
and regulatory risks associated with the deployment of
its vessels and crew into regions in which it operates or
has to navigate. It also monitors developments to ensure
it can respond appropriately.
To minimise the risk of non-availability, the Group
dedicates resources to perform vessel scheduling
centrally rather than at a business unit or region level.
Vessel construction, maintenance, upgrading and
dry-docking activities are subject to detailed planning,
and controls are deployed to mitigate the risk of
completion delays.
The design and operational capabilities of a vessel are
carefully assessed before its deployment to aparticular
project and are then closely monitored during the project’s
execution. The impact of potential non-availability of a
vessel is mitigated by both the size and flexibility of the
Group’s fleet and its ability to access the vessel charter
market. TheGroup adjusts its fleet size to suit its view of
the future market by cold- or warm-stacking its excess
assets, as well as potentially returning chartered tonnage
to the owners.
Before initiating the construction or acquisition of a new
vessel, the Group conducts detailed analyses of the
potential market and seeks to ensure that the vessel’s
technical specifications and projected capital and operating
costs are appropriate for the anticipated market.
The Group assesses the market’s need for new vessels
and, after a rigorous technical and financial review, will
decide to proceed with construction or conversion where
there is sufficient future activity and when it anticipates
acceptable financial returns on its investment.
The Group mitigates the risks associated with future
liabilities of divested vessels through a know-your-client
or supplier due diligence process and ensuring the
contractual agreements contain detailed provisions
associated with the onward utilisation or the minimum
requirements to be met for any near-term
decommissioning activities.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
RISK
REVENUE AND MARGIN RECOGNITION
Individual period performance may be significantly
affected by the timing of contract completion,
atwhich point the final outcome of a project may
be fully assessed. Until then, the Group, in common
with other companies in the sector, uses the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting
forrevenue and margin recognition. This method
relies on the Group’s ability to estimate future costs
inan accurate manner over the remaining life of
aproject. As projects may take a number of years
toexecute, this process requires a significant
degreeofjudgement, with changes to estimates or
unexpected costs or recoveries potentially resulting
in significant fluctuations in revenue and profitability.
Inaccurate forecasting of the cost-to-complete
aproject and of the revenue that can be earned from
the client for changes to contract scope could have
anegative impact on the Group’s management of its
liquidity and weaken its financial position. Fixed-price
contracts awarded at low or negative margins
cancreate volatility when accounting for project
performance, as forecast unavoidable losses are
recognised in full in the period in which they are
identified. Forecasting during pandemics and
economic crises is complexand subject to
increasedvolatility aschanges unfold.
MITIGATION
Project performance is monitored by means of Project
Monthly Status Reports (PMSRs) which record actual
cost of work performed, the estimated cost-to-complete
a project and the estimated full-life project revenue.
ThePMSR allows management to reliably estimate
themost likely full-life profitability of each project.
ThesePMSRs are subject to rigorous review and
challenge at key levels of management within the
Group.Note 4 ‘Critical accounting judgements
andkeysources of estimation uncertainty’ to the
Consolidated Financial Statements provides more
detailof the Group’s approach to revenue recognition
onlong-term contracts.
FINANCIAL RISKS
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
RISK
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
The Group’s working capital position will be affected
by the timing of contract cash flows, because the
timing of receipts from clients, typically based on
achievements of milestones, may not necessarily
match the timing of payments the Group makes to
itssuppliers.
In executing some of its contracts, the Group is
required by its clients, in the normal course of business,
to issue certain guarantees, e.g. performance, advance
payments and bid bonds. Access to unsecured
bilateral guarantee arrangements from financial
institutions in supportofthese instruments is
fundamental totheGroup’s ability to compete,
particularly forlarge engineering, procurement,
installation and commissioning (EPCI) contracts.
In rare instances, clients may request specific payment
terms such as extended payment terms or payment
deferrals, which can negatively impact the cash flow
profile of projects.
The availability of short-term and long-term external
financing is important to help meet the Group’s
financial obligations as they fall due. In the event
thatsuch financing were unavailable, reduced or
withdrawn, the Group’s activities would be
significantly constrained.
MITIGATION
In addition to using its cash and cash equivalents balance
and cash generated from operations, the Group has
access to committed financing facilities to meet its core
financing and working capital needs. The Group’s cash
position, liquidity, debt leverage and credit-rating-related
metrics are monitored closely by both the Executive
Management Team and the Board of Directors.
The Group works to mitigate client payment deferral
request risks through its contract terms. In addition, the
Group continuously assesses thecreditworthiness of its
client and supplier bases.

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
As Chairman of the Corporate Governance, Nominations
and Risk Committee and Senior Independent Director,
mygoal is to provide independent oversight and a constructive
challenge in order to ensure that the Company has responsible
corporate governance in place to meet the challenges of
the present and the future.
The work of the Board during 2025
During 2025, the Board focused primarily on the proposed
combination with Saipem S.p.A., while continuing to maintain
the strength of our governance frameworks and regulatory
compliance. We believe the proposed combination will create
significant shareholder value and will be beneficial to the
clients of both Saipem and Subsea7 by bringing together
therespective strengths of both companies with enhanced
capabilities across the entire offshore energy value chain.
Focus on the proposed transformational merger
The year began with the signing of a Memorandum of
Understanding between Saipem S.p.A. and Subsea 7 S.A.
on23 February 2025, which set the foundation for what
should be the most significant transaction in Subsea7’s
history. Following months of careful due diligence and
negotiation, the Board was pleased to announce the signing
ofthe “Definitive Merger Agreement” on 23 July 2025.
The Board played a crucial role in overseeing the
governance aspects of this complex transaction, ensuring
that Subsea7 shareholders’ interests were protected
throughout the process. The Board was particularly
gratified by the overwhelming support the proposed
transaction received from shareholders at the EGM
on25 September 2025. 99% of the votes were cast in
favourof the transaction. Consistent with good corporate
practices and Luxembourg law, shareholders were
offeredthe right to dissent and it is noteworthy that none
ofthe voting shareholders elected to exercise this right,
underpinning the strong confidence in the Board’s
strategicdirection.
Sustainability and regulatory compliance
Sustainability remained a focus for the Board throughout
2025, with continued preparation for compliance with the
CSRD. The Audit and Sustainability Committee provided
oversight of the Company’s sustainability reporting
processes. In 2025, the Luxembourg regulator carried out
an analysis of the current state of voluntary CSRD reporting
among a sample of issuers under its supervision, which
included Subsea 7 S.A. A report was published covering
thisanalysis, highlighting the presentation of our double
materiality matrix (see: 2024 Annual Report, page 73).
Thiswas considered to be an example of good practice
worthy of attention from our supervised issuers and the
market in general.
Enhanced risk management framework
In preparation for the increased complexity of the combined
entity, the Board implemented a comprehensive enterprise
risk management framework during 2025. This framework
provides enhanced oversight of strategic, operational,
financial, and compliance risks. The Corporate Governance,
Nominations and Risk Committee has been instrumental in
developing these enhanced risk management practices,
which are aligned with our strategic objectives and
regulatory requirements.
Board diversity and composition
During 2025, the Board made further progress in improving
gender diversity, achieving full compliance with the EU
Women on Boards Directive (EU) 2022/2381 ahead of
theimplementation of the directive in Luxembourg. The
appointment of Lucia de Andrade, a third female director,
brings valuable expertise and perspective to the Board.
Thecurrent board composition reflects Subsea7’s ongoing
commitment to inclusive governance and ensures that the
Board benefits from a diverse range of skills, experience,
andviewpoints essential for navigating the energy transition.
The overriding objective of our Board Diversity Policy
remains to ensure an inclusive and diverse Board with
abalance of skills, expertise and experience to guide
Subsea7 through the energy transition. An updated
overview of the Board’s skills has been conducted
andcanbe found on page 48.
Board evaluation
The annual Board evaluation conducted in early 2026
provided valuable insights into the Board’s effectiveness
during this most critical year. The evaluation was conducted
internally and in line with best practice, with an emphasis on
the Board’s handling of the proposed merger. The review
recognised the Board’s strategic oversight and decision-
making processes during the merger negotiations and
approval process.
2025 has been a transformational year that will define
Subsea7’s future. The proposed combination with Saipem,
combined with our strengthened governance frameworks
and enhanced Board diversity, positions us exceptionally
well for the challenges and opportunities ahead. As we look
to the future, we remain committed to responsible corporate
governance, strategic excellence, and sustainable growth
that create value for all our stakeholders.

Business
The Board of Directors has set strategies and targets for
the Company’s business. Since 1 January 2021, the Group
has structured itself around its diversified strengths,
reporting through two operational business units:
Subseaand Conventional, and Renewables.
The Subsea and Conventional business unit operates
globally in offshore energy services, delivering design, EPCI
and decommissioning projects in all water depths, operating
under the Subsea7 brand.
The Renewables business unit is an experienced partner
forthe delivery of offshore wind farm projects and specialist
foundations and cable-lay services, mainly operating under
the Seaway7 brand.
Further details of the Group’s business units are outlined
inthe ‘Our Strategy’ and ‘Business Unit Financial Review’
sections on pages 10 to 11 and 22 to23, respectively.
Board of Directors: composition and
independence
As a Luxembourg-incorporated entity, the Company does
not have a corporate assembly.
The Board of Directors comprises seven Directors.
Duringthe year ended 31 December 2025, as permitted
byLuxembourg law, the Subsea7 employees were not
represented on the Board of Directors. The majority of the
Directors were, during the year ended 31 December 2025,
considered independent in accordance with both the rules
of the Oslo Stock Exchange, on which Subsea 7 S.A. is
listed, and the independence criteria of the Norwegian
Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.
The Board has a Senior Independent Director elected from
among its independent members to provide a sounding
board for the Chairman and to serve as an intermediary
forthe other Directors when necessary.
Biographies of the individual Directors are detailed on
pages 50 to 51.
The charters of the permanent committees do not permit
executive management to be members. The composition
ofthe Company’s Board of Directors and the controls to
avoid conflicts of interest are in accordance with both
Luxembourg company law and good corporate
governancepractice.
The Board of Directors has adopted a Board Diversity
Policy, the purpose of which is to ensure an inclusive and
diverse membership of the Board of Directors and that the
Board as a whole has the skills, expertise and experience
toguide the business and strategy of the Company for the
benefit of its shareholders as a whole, having regard to the
interests of all its stakeholders.
The Board Diversity Policy, as referenced on page 49,
isapplicable to the Board only but sits alongside the
Company’s Code of Conduct and associated global policies,
which set out the Company’s broader commitment to
diversity and inclusion. Other details of the Company’s
practices and initiatives in relation to diversity are
disclosedon page 29.
The Board of Directors’ objective is to have at least 33%
female representation on the Board. Three out of the
sevencurrent Directors of the Company are female.
The Corporate Governance, Nominations and Risk
Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Board has
the right balance of competencies, skills, experience and
knowledge and shall, among other things, report annually,
inthe Company’s Annual Report, on the implementation of
the Board Diversity Policy and other matters as required
byregulatory and statutory requirements applicable to
theCompany.
Prior to proposing candidates to the relevant general
meeting for election to the Board of Directors, the
Corporate Governance, Nominations and Risk Committee
seeks toconsult with the Company’s major shareholders.
Directors are elected by a general meeting for a term not
exceeding two years and may be re-elected. Directors need
not be shareholders. At a general meeting, the shareholders
may dismiss any Director, with or without cause, at any time
notwithstanding any agreement between the Company and
the Director. Suchdismissal may not prejudice the claims
that a Director may have for indemnification as provided
forin the Articles of Incorporation or for a breach of any
contract existing between him or her and theCompany.
If there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the
remaining Directors appointed at a general meeting have
the right to appoint a replacement Director until the next
meeting of shareholders, who will be asked to confirm
suchappointment.
With the exception of a candidate recommended by the
Board of Directors, or a Director whose term of office
expires at a general meeting of the Company, no candidate
may be appointed unless, at least three days and no more
than 22 days before the date of the relevant meeting, a
written proposal, signed by a duly authorised shareholder,
has been deposited at the registered office of the Company
together with a written declaration, signed by the proposed
candidate, confirming his or her wish to be appointed.
The Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the
Company as the Board of Directors believes it promotes
acommon financial interest between the members of the
Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company.
Details of the Directors’ shareholdings are on page 69.

the Board of Directors is scheduled to convene on
sevenoccasions, but the schedule is flexible to react

It is the duty of the Executive Management Team to provide
the Board of Directors with appropriate, precise and timely

Board of Directors is conducted by an external facilitator
every third year. During 2025, the evaluation of the
performance of the Board of Directors was conducted
internally by the Company Secretary and further details
ofthis can be found on page 49.

Charter, which setsout the instructions for
theBoard.

Risk management and internalcontrol
The Board of Directors acknowledges its responsibility
forthe Group’s identification and management of risk along
with the system of internal control and for reviewing the
effectiveness of this system. The Group’s system of internal
control is designed to manage, rather than eliminate,
therisk of failure to achieve business objectives and
canonly provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance
against material financial misstatement or loss. The Board
of Directors carries out an annual review of the Group’s
most important areas of exposure to risk and its internal
control arrangements, having regard to thechanging
natureof risks and the Group’s ability to cope with them.
The Group adopts internal controls appropriate to its
business activities and geographical spread. The key
components of the Group’s system of risk management
andinternal control are described in the ‘Risk Management
Overview’ section on pages 30 to 47. The Group has in
place clearly defined lines of responsibility and limits of
delegated authority. Comprehensive procedures provide
forthe appraisal, approval, control and review of capital
expenditure. An Executive Risk Committee meets biannually
to review priority and emerging risks and to review and
discuss the Group’s risk and risk management procedures.
The Executive Risk Committee reports to the Board. The
Executive Management Team also meets with functional
senior management on aregular basis to discuss particular
issues, including key operational and commercial risks,
health and safety performance, sustainability and climate-
related matters, environmental factors, and legal and
financial matters.
The Corporate Governance, Nominations and Risk
Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors. One
ofthe Committee’s responsibilities is to oversee the Group’s
risk management framework and periodically review priority
and emerging risks. The Group Head of Insurance & Risk
prepares a report for the Committee and presents to the
Board annually.
The Group has a comprehensive annual planning and
management reporting process. A detailed annual budget
isprepared in advance of each year and supplemented by
forecasts updated during the course of the year. Financial
results are reported monthly totheExecutive Management
Team and quarterly to the Board of Directors and compared
to budget, forecasts, market consensus and prior year results.
The Board of Directors reviews reports on actual financial
performance and forward-looking financial guidance.
The Board of Directors derives further assurances from the
reports of the Audit and Sustainability Committee. The Audit
and Sustainability Committee has been delegated responsibility
to review the effectiveness of the internal financial control
systems implemented by management and is assisted by
the Group’s internal audit function and the external auditor
where appropriate.
Sustainability
In accordance with its charter detailed on page 56, the
Board of Directors is responsible for guiding the Company’s
strategy and setting targets in relation to sustainability and
climate-related matters, and when defining the objectives,
strategies and risk profiles for the Company’s business
activities, sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities
areconsidered.
The Board has delegated authority to the Audit and
Sustainability Committee to include oversight of sustainability
matters. These responsibilities include, among others,
monitoring sustainability reporting processes and the
effectiveness of internal controls and risk management
regarding the sustainability reporting process. The Audit
and Sustainability Committee provides a report to the Board
of Directors after every meeting and this enables a clear
communication channel to the Board of Directors.
As detailed on page 59, the Audit and Sustainability
Committee is chaired by Mr Eldar Sætre, who has recent
and relevant experience in sustainability matters as detailed
in his biography on page 51. Additionally, as summarised
onpage 48, an assessment of the skills, expertise and
experience of the Board of Directors is carried out each
year, and sustainability skills and expertise are reviewed
aspart of the assessment. The most recent assessment
indicated that six out of seven Directors have sustainability
skills and experience of direct relevance to the Company’s
material impacts, risks and opportunities, including, but not
limited to, climate strategy, health and safety, diversity
andinclusion, labour practices and human rights, and
cybersecurity and privacy. Director’s biographies, which
provide further details of their experience, are available
onpages 50 to 51.
At management level, an Executive Sustainability
Committee, comprising the Executive Management
Teammeets regularly to review and discuss the Group’s
sustainability procedures and reports to the Board of
Directors. Sustainability and climate-related matters
represent a permanent feature on every routine Board
agenda, allowing the Board of Directors to monitor
andoversee the Company’s progress in relation to its
sustainability strategy and targets. This is in line with
theBoard’s aim to carry out business in a manner that
issustainable for the Company’s shareholders, having
regard to financial, social and environmental considerations.

approval is obtained from a majority of the votes of those
shareholders who are present or represented.
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that
the AGM will be chaired by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors. However, the Board of Directors ordinarily
delegates authority to the Company Secretary to chair the
AGM. If a majority of the shareholders request an
alternative independent chairman, one will be appointed.
At the AGM, the shareholders, inter alia, elect members of
the Board of Directors for nominated terms of appointment,
approve the Company’s Annual Accounts, approve the
Group’s Annual Report which includes the Consolidated
Financial Statements, discharge the Directors from their
duties for the financial year, approve (by an advisory vote)
the Company’s Remuneration Report and the Company’s
Remuneration Policy, and approve the statutory auditor’s
appointment. In accordance with Luxembourg law and the
Company’s Articles ofIncorporation, the Chairman ofthe
Board is elected by the Board of Directors based on its
insight into who has the most suitable level of
understanding of the Company to carry out the
dutiesoftheChairman.
Implementation and reporting on
corporate governance
Subsea 7 S.A. acknowledges the division of roles between
shareholders, the Board of Directors and the Executive
Management Team. The Group further ensures good
governance isadopted by holding regular Board of
Directors’ meetings, which the Executive Management
Team attends and at which strategic, operational and
financial matters are presented.
The Group’s vision is: to make possible the global delivery
ofoffshore energy for today andtomorrow.
The Group’s Values are Safety, Integrity, Sustainability,
Performance, Collaboration and Innovation.
In pursuit of the six Values, theGroup has an Ethics Policy
Statement and a Code of Conduct that reflect its
commitment to clients, shareholders, employees and other
stakeholders to conduct business legally, and with integrity
and honesty. The Ethics Policy Statement and the Code of
Conduct were approved by the Board of Directors, were
issued to all Directors, officers and employees, and are
subject toperiodic review and updates.
General meetings
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the
AGM shall be held within six months from the end of the
financial year and in 2026 it will beheld on 12 May, unless
the proposed merger with Saipem S.p.A. completes before
that date.
The notice of meeting and agenda documents for the AGM

Equity and dividends
Shareholders’ equity
Total shareholders’ equity on 31 December 2025 was
$4.4billion (2024: $4.3 billion) which the Board of Directors
believes is satisfactory given the Group’s strategy, objectives
and risk profile.
Dividend policy
It is Subsea7’s objective to give its shareholders an
attractive return on their invested capital. The Group’s
commitment to returning capital to shareholders is confirmed
in its formal Dividend Policy to pay a regular dividend of NOK
6.00 per share each year.
In connection with the proposed merger with Saipem S.p.A.,
the EGM held on 25 September 2025 approved:
(i)adistribution of EUR 450 million equating to approximately
NOK 18.00 per share to the shareholders of the Company
to be distributed immediately prior to the effective date
ofthe merger, subject to the conditions precedent to the
merger (providedfor in the merger agreement dated
23 July2025 between the Company and Saipem S.p.A.)
having been met or waived; and (ii) a distribution of EUR
105 million equating to approximately NOK 4.15 per share
tothe shareholders ofthe Company. This distribution is
related to a permitted business divestment in accordance
with the merger agreement with Saipem S.p.A.. The
distribution is expected to be paid after closing of the
relevant transaction or(ifearlier) immediately before the
proposed merger effective date.
To the extent that the proposed merger with Saipem S.p.A.
is not effective by the time of the AGM, which is scheduled
to take place on 12 May 2026, the shareholders will
beasked to approve the payment of a dividend of
NOK13.00 per share comprised of the annual dividend
ofapproximately $350 million and an interim dividend of
approximately $50 million approved by the Board of Directors.
Equity mandates
At the EGM held on 8 May 2025, the Board of Directors’
authority to approve the purchase of the Company’s shares
up to a maximum of 30,000,000 common shares
(representing approximately 10% of the issued common
shares on 26 February 2025) was granted until 8 May 2027.
This authority is subject to certain purchase price
conditions and is conditional on such purchases being made
in open market transactions through the Oslo Stock
Exchange, subject to certain limitations. The Board of
Directors was also granted authority for a period ending on
8 November 2027 to cancel shares repurchased under
such authorisation and to reduce the issued share capital
through such cancellations.
At the same EGM the Company’s shareholders
approvedthe renewal of the authorised share capital at
$900,000,000 (including the issued share capital) with
authority for the Board of Directors to issue new common
shares within the authorised unissued share capital and
with any authorised but unissued common shares lapsing
on 23 May 2027. Additionally, the Board of Directors was
authorised to issue new shares within the authorised
unissued share capital. The Board of Directors was
authorised to waive, suppress or limit existing shareholders’
preferential subscription rights up toa maximum of
30,000,000 common shares (representing approximately
10% of the issued common shares on 26 February 2025).
These authorisations were granted for a period of two
years, expiring on 23 May 2027, to reduce, inter alia, the
administrative burden of convening an EGM annually.
Equal treatment of shareholders and
transactions with close associates
One class of shares
The Company has one class of shares that are listed on
theOslo Stock Exchange. Each share carries equal rights
including an equal voting right at annual or extraordinary
general meetings ofshareholders of the Company. No
shares carry any special controlrights. The Company’s
Articles of Incorporation contain no restrictions on
votingrights.
Share issues
The Board of Directors is authorised to suppress thepre-
emptive rights of shareholders under certain circumstances
and within the limits set out previously. This is toallow
flexibility to deal with matters deemed to be in the best
interest ofthe Company.
In the event of the Board of Directors resolving to issue
newshares and waive the pre-emptive rights of existing
shareholders, the Board of Directors intends to comply with
the recommendation of the Norwegian Code of Practice for
Corporate Governance that the justification for such waiver
is noted in the stock exchange announcement relating to
such ashare issue.
Related party transactions
Any transactions between the Group and members
oftheBoard of Directors, executive management or
closeassociates are detailed in Note 34 ‘Related party
transactions’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Charter of the Board of Directors contains provisions
on how the Board of Directors and executive management
will handle agreements between the Company and related
parties, and the Board of Directors will, from time to time,
determine the necessity of obtaining third-party valuations
on transactions between the Company and related parties.
Any material transaction between the Company and a
related party shall be subject to the prior approval of the
Board of Directors, unless entered into in the ordinary
course of business and concluded on normal market
terms,in which case the Board of Directors shall establish
an internal procedure to periodically assess whether
theseconditions are fulfilled.
The Group’s Code of Conduct requires any Director or
employee to declare if they hold any direct or indirect
financial interest in any transaction entered into by the
Group. Under Luxembourg law, Directors may not vote
ontransactions in which they have a direct or indirect
financial interest conflicting with that oftheCompany.
Freely negotiable shares
Subsea 7 S.A.’s shares are traded as common shares on the
Oslo Stock Exchange and as ADRs over the counter in the US.
All shares are freely negotiable. The Articles of Incorporation
contain no form of restriction onthe negotiability of shares
intheCompany.

Letter from the Chairman of
theCompensation Committee
As Chairman of the Compensation Committee, I am
pleasedto present the Board’s report on Subsea7’s
Executive Officers’ remuneration, as well as that of the
Non-Executive Directors of Subsea 7 S.A. for the year
ended 31 December 2025 (the 2025 Remuneration Report),
which will be submitted for advisory vote to shareholders
atthe 2026 AGM. During 2023, the Board and the
Company’s shareholders approved Subsea 7 S.A.
Directors’remuneration policy (the Remuneration Policy)
applicable to Executive Officers and Non-Executive
Directors of the Company. The Remuneration Policy
waseffective for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 and
theintention is for it to continue to be effective for 2026,
ifno material changes are contemplated. At the 2025 AGM,
the Company’s shareholders approved by an advisory vote
the 2024 Remuneration Report.
2025 Overview
To support the delivery of our strong backlog, 2025 has seen
continued focus on global recruitment and retention of our
existing talent through further enhancing our Being7 offering.
The Annual Salary Review conducted in 2025 recognised
local inflation levels, ensured alignment with the external
market and recognised our people for their contributions
toSubsea7’s goals.
The Short Term Incentive Plan 2025 (STIP 2025) triggers
for payment were met. A payout will be made to all participants
in 2026, taking into account the achievement of plan
measures and individual performance and contribution
tobusiness goals.
The Long Term Incentive Plan 2022 award (LTIP 2022)
measured Total Shareholder Return (TSR) against a peer
group, Cash Conversion Ratio (CCR) and Return on
Average Invested Capital (ROAIC) over a performance
period of three years from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025.
Asa result of the partial achievement of two of the three
performance metrics, vesting occurred.
In 2025, to continue to retain and incentivise Subsea7’s
leaders and key employees, awards (LTIP 2025 Awards)
were made under the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (2022
LTIP Plan). LTIP 2025 Awards were made to approximately
150 leaders and key employees to incentivise and reward
participants over the long term for sustained performance,
delivery of the business strategy and shareholder value.
Theperformance conditions included those within the
existing plan: TSR, CCR and ROAIC. LTIP 2025 Awards
were effective 1 October 2025 with a three-year
performance period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028
forall performance measures.
Remuneration arrangements for 2026
In relation to 2026, the structure of remuneration
arrangements will be in line with that of 2025 and
asdetailed in the Remuneration Policy.
In 2026, our Annual Salary Review process will ensure
continued focus on attracting and retaining our talent,
ensuring that Subsea7 is an attractive company to work
for.Following the implementation of a new job architecture in
2024, the focus in 2025 was directed towards benchmarking
against external market data, which served as the initial
foundation for the Annual Salary Review process. In 2026,
greater emphasis will be placed on establishing a structured
and globally consistent approach towards salary reviews
incorporating employees’ market positioning and individual
performance as key considerations.
The Company will continue to operate an annual Short
Term Incentive Plan with targets set by the Compensation
Committee. The current performance conditions for
Executive Officers will continue to be based upon the
following metrics and weightings: Financial performance
(45%), Project performance (20%), Safety performance
(10%) and Personal objectives (25%).
The Company will continue to operate its 2022 LTIP Plan
asapproved at the AGM in 2022. The current performance
conditions for Executive Officers will continue to be based
upon the following metrics: TSR, CCR and ROAIC.
The full details of 2025 remuneration can be read in the
following report. On behalf of the Compensation Committee
and the Board of Directors, we hope you find this report
clear and informative.
2025 Remuneration
The Group’s Remuneration Policy is set by the
Compensation Committee and is designed to provide
remuneration packages which will help to attract, retain and
motivate our people to achieve the Group’s strategic
objectives and to enhance shareholder value. The
Compensation Committee also seeks to ensure that
theRemuneration Policy is applied consistently across
theGroup and that remuneration is fair and transparent,
while encouraging high performance.
The Compensation Committee benchmarks Executive
Officers’ remuneration against comparable companies
andseeks to ensure that the Group offers rewards and
incentives which are competitive with those offered by
theGroup’s peers.
Remuneration is composed of base salary, benefits, pension,
and short-term and long-term incentives. The Short Term
Incentive Plan and Long Term Incentive Plan are managed
ata group level and overseen by the Compensation
Committee with approval by the Board of Directors.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED
Annual Salary Review
The Annual Salary Review is a key annual process that
allows the Group to recognise our employees’ performance
through an increase to base salary in line with Group
performance and individual contribution, with an understanding
of local market rates.
In the third quarter of 2025, we applied a salary increase
that reflected general inflation, market conditions and
recognised our people for their performance and
contributions to Subsea7’s goals. As a result of the
continued competitive labour market, we recognised
increases in some external local markets and specialist
functions and performed adjustments where appropriate.
In line with the Annual Salary Review process, outlined in
the Remuneration Policy, along with the approach taken
in the wider organisation, the CEO and CFO received an
increase to base salary effective 1 July 2025. The base
salary adjustments were reviewed and approved by the
Compensation Committee taking into account:
• The individual’s role, performance and experience
• Business performance, and the external environment
• Base salary increases across the Group
• Base salary levels for comparable roles at relevant,
comparable businesses.
The CEO was awarded a 3% increase to base salary,
resulting in a new annual salary of $874,237.
The CFO was awarded a 3% increase to base salary,
resulting in a new annual salary of $605,241.
Note: payments are made in GBP. The amounts have been
translated into USD using an average exchange rate of
0.762 for the year.
Benefits and pension
Benefits and pension awarded to the CEO and CFO during
2025 were in accordance with the Remuneration Policy.
Benefits included private healthcare, life insurance, personal
accident insurance and a car allowance, along with the
opportunity to purchase additional flexible benefits.
The CEO received a cash allowance in lieu of a pension
contribution, in line with the Company’s policy in the UK on
lifetime allowances, which is paid less applicable employer
national insurance contributions. The CFO participated in
the UK defined contribution pension plan.
Short Term Incentive Plan
The Group operates a Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP),
anannual bonus scheme, with targets set by the
Compensation Committee. Thecurrent performance
conditions for the CEO and CFO are based upon the
following metrics and weightings:
• Financial performance (45%)
• Project performance (20%)
• Safety performance (10%)
• Personal objectives (25%).
Personal objectives focus on an individual’s key
contributions. Where a role has a significant contribution
tothe sustainability focus areas for the Group there will
bea personal objective related to this.
The STIP also has an element for all participants of 10% of
the overall bonus, related to the safety performance of the
Group, which is a material topic for the Group. The personal
element of the STIP ranges differs per band of the person
– the more junior a position the higher the percentage of
theSTIP that is related to personal objectives. For the CEO
andCFO this is 25%. For the CEO and CFO, the maximum
bonus opportunity in respect of 2025 was 150% and 100%
of base salary, respectively.
For the performance period from 1 January 2025 to
31 December 2025, the financial targets were achieved
whilst the safety performance target was not met.
TheGroup’s performance over the performance period
wasevaluated by the Compensation Committee who
recommended the STIP 2025 payout for approval by the
Board of Directors.
Based on the performance outcome against STIP 2025
targets, the bonus for the CEO was 81% of base salary,
resulting in a payment of $700,702. For the CFO, the bonus
was 54% of base salary, resulting in a payment of $323,476.
Note: payments are made in GBP. The amounts have been
translated into USD using an average exchange rate of
0.762 for the year.
Long Term Incentive Plan
The Group operates a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
TheLTIP provides for conditional share awards based upon
performance conditions over a three-year performance
period. The 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (2018 LTIP Plan)
was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the AGM
on 17 April 2018 and was valid for a period up to five years
until 2023. Awards under the 2018 LTIP Plan were made
in2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The 2022 LTIP Plan was
approved by the Company’s shareholders at the AGM
on12 April 2022, superseding the 2018 LTIP Plan, and is
validfor a period of five years until 2027. The principles
ofthe plan were unchanged from previous years whereby
aconditional award of shares is made that provides for
share awards which vest over a three to five-year period
subject to performance measures.
The 2022 LTIP Plan has a five-year term with awards being
made annually in October. The aggregate number of shares
which may be granted in any calendar year is limited to
0.5% of issued share capital on 1 January of that calendar
year. The total number of shares that may be delivered
pursuant to awards under the plan shall not exceed
11,500,000. The total number of share awards and shares
granted to the CEO and CFO are recommended by the
Compensation Committee for approval by the Board of
Directors. The 2022 LTIP Plan is an essential component
of the Company’s reward strategy and is designed to
alignthe interests of participants with those of Subsea7’s
shareholders; it also enables participants to share in the
success of the Company.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
The 2022 LTIP Plan provides for conditional awards of
shares based upon performance conditions measured
over a performance period of three years. Performance
conditions are based upon three measures and weightings,
all tied to the Company’s financial performance and
competitiveness and as determined by the Compensation
Committee. During 2024 the Compensation Committee
approved the following revised weightings to apply to the
LTIP 2025 Awards under the terms of the 2022 LTIP Plan:
• Total Shareholder Return (50%)
• Cash Conversion Ratio (30%)
• Return on Average Invested Capital (20%).
All three performance conditions are determined over
athree-year period from 1 July in the year of award to
30 June three years later. Subject to the achievement
oftheperformance conditions, awards will vest in equal
tranches after three, four and five years from award date.
Under the terms of the LTIP, participants are not entitled
toreceive dividend-equivalent payments during the
performance and holding periods. On 31 December 2025,
there were approximately 150 participants in the active LTIP
schemes (2018 and 2022 LTIP Plans). Individual award caps
are in place such that no participant may be granted shares
under the 2022 LTIP Plan in a single calendar year that
have an aggregate fair market value in excess of 150%,
inthe case of the CEO, CFO and other members of the
Executive Management Team, and 100%, in the case of
other employees, of their annual base salary at the date of
the award. Additionally, a holding requirement for the CEO,
CFO and other members of the Executive Management
Team applies under which they must hold 50% of all
awardsthat vest until they have built up a shareholding
witha market value of 150% of their annual base salary,
andthismust be maintained throughout their tenure.
Total Shareholder Return based awards
The Company must achieve a Total Shareholder Return
(TSR) ranking above the median for any awards to vest.
Ifthe ranked TSR position of Subsea7 during the three-year
performance period, as converted to a percentage, is equal
to 50%, 20% of the share award will vest. If the ranked
TSRposition of the Company is greater than 50% and
below 75%, the vesting of the share award between 20%
and 50% is determined by linear interpolation. The maximum
award of 50% would vest if the Company achieved a ranked
TSR position equal to or greater than 75%.
The table below summarises the TSR performance
condition applicable to the LTIP 2025 Awards under the
2022 LTIP Plan:

• Worley Limited
Cash Conversion Ratio based awards
The Cash Conversion Ratio (CCR) measures the conversion
of Adjusted EBITDA into a form of cash. The Board believes
this measure is an important addition to the LTIP as it aligns
with shareholder interests in making sure the business
converts profitability into cash generated from operations
ina timely manner. The Group can exert significant
influence in achieving this goal. Furthermore, it is clear
and≈predictable, and, as with the other two measures,
theelements of the calculation are readily identifiable
fromthe Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
CCR is calculated for each of the three years of the
performance period on a quarterly basis, and the table
below summarises the CCR performance condition applicable
to the LTIP 2025 Awards under the 2022 LTIP Plan:

Return on Average Invested Capital based awards
Return on Average Invested Capital (ROAIC) is calculated

a quarterly basis. The table below summarises the ROAIC

Vesting of LTIP 2022 Awards
The performance conditions applicable to the share awards
granted in 2022 under the 2022 LTIP Plan that vested
during 2025 were based upon three measures: Total
Shareholder Return, Cash Conversion Ratio and Return on
Average Invested Capital with a weighting of 65%, 20% and
15%, respectively. Subject to these performance conditions,
the vested shares are transferred to participants in equal
tranches on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the
award date.
The performance conditions for the vesting of the share
awards granted in 2022 under the 2022 LTIP Plan are set
out below. For LTIP 2022 awards, all performance conditions
were assessed over the three-year period, the TSR vested
at 80.10%, the Cash Conversion Ratio at 52.50% and the
ROAIC at 0%.
As a result of the partial achievement of two of the three
performance metrics over the three-year performance
period from 2022 to 2025, 62.56% of the total share
awards granted in 2022 vested during 2025.

GENERAL DISCLOSURES
ESRS 2 – General disclosures
General basis for preparation of the
sustainability statements (ESRS 2 BP-1)
Framework
Subsea7’s Sustainability Statements for the year ended
31 December 2025 are prepared in accordance with the
EUCorporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
andits corresponding relevant European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS). The relevant ESRS for
Subsea7 have been identified following a double materiality
assessment (DMA). The assessment conducted in 2023
was revalidated during the reporting year, confirming that
the identified material topics remain relevant and continue
to form the basis of the disclosures.
Consolidation
In this report, we refer to Subsea 7 S.A. and its subsidiaries
as ‘Subsea7’, the ‘Group’ or ‘we’. This report covers the
entirety of the Group, unless otherwise noted. The Group
includes Subsea 7 S.A. (the ‘Company’) and all entities
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries), unless
otherwise noted. The Sustainability Statements are prepared
on a consolidated basis, and the scope of consolidation is
consistent with that used in the preparation of the Group’s
Consolidated Financial Statements unless otherwise stated
within the relevant topical standards.
As part of the DMA, Subsea7’s own operations as well as its
upstream and downstream value chains were considered.
The Sustainability Statements presented in this report
reference the relevant parts of the value chain impacted.
Subsea7 has elected not to exclude any information
resulting from intellectual property, know-how or the
resultsof innovation.
Disclosures in relation to specific
circumstances(ESRS 2 BP-2)
Subsea7 adheres to the time horizons defined in ESRS 1,
section 6.4, which outlines the definitions of short-, medium-,
and long-term for reporting purposes.
As part of preparation for 2025 disclosures, a structured
assessment was carried out to determine which
Environmental Social and Governance (or ESG) data
pointsare material across Subsea7’s subsidiaries and
identify where estimation methods may be applied. The
assessment covered wholly owned and non-wholly owned
subsidiaries (excluding joint ventures and associates) and
considered each entity’s significance based on headcount,
revenue, and operational footprint.
Where primary data is not available, defined estimation
methods are applied depending on the data point and
disclosures type, using factors such as headcount, facility
footprint, payment volume, comparable business models
orspend. These estimates are tested against overall
materiality, reviewed by relevant functions, and used only
when they do not materially affect the accuracy or reliability
of consolidated disclosures.
When Subsea7 has information related to specific
circumstances – such as time horizons, value chain
estimations, sources of estimation and uncertainty, this
information is reported alongside the relevant disclosures.
Disclosures incorporated by reference
(ESRS 2 BP-3)
Subsea7 has included reference tables within the ‘Appendix’

Information provided to, and sustainability
matters addressed by the administrative,
management and supervisory bodies
(ESRS 2 GOV-2)
Subsea 7 S.A.’s Board Charter specifies that Board
meetings shall be held at least four times per year. In 2025,
the Board of Directors convened on 17 occasions. In 2026,
seven meetings are scheduled but the schedule will adapt
to operational or strategic changes in the market and
circumstances affecting the Group. Sustainability represents
a permanent feature on every routine Board agenda, allowing
the Board of Directors to monitor and oversee the Group’s
progress in relation to its sustainability strategy and targets
and aligning with the Board’s objective to operate in a way
that benefits the Company’s shareholders while considering
financial, social and environmental factors.
In 2025, the Board continued to engage in sustainability
initiatives, including reviewing progress against the Group’s
sustainability objectives and approving the use of the 2023
double materiality assessment for the 2025 sustainability
disclosures. This decision was based on the recommendation
of the Group’s Audit and Sustainability Committee and prior
review with management. As detailed on page 59, the Audit
and Sustainability Committee’s responsibilities include,
among other matters, monitoring the sustainability reporting
processes and assessing the effectiveness of internal
controls and risk management related to sustainability
reporting. The Audit and Sustainability Committee also
provides oversight and submits recommendations to
management on sustainability disclosures matters and
keeps the Board informed through regular reporting,
ensuring a clear communication channel.
At management level, Subsea7’s Sustainability
Committee,composed of the Executive Management
Team,is scheduled to meet quarterly to discuss the
implementation of the sustainability objectives and targets
reported to the CEO. During 2025, it convened three times,
with one meeting deferred due to business priorities. The
Sustainability Committee continued to exercise oversight
throughout the year. Subsea7’s Executive Vice President
ofStrategy and Sustainability has the responsibility to drive
the sustainability agenda and further embed the integrated
link between strategy and sustainability in the Group. The
work of the Sustainability Committee is complemented by
the work of the Risk Committee and Ethics Committee,
which helps to align management’s approach on the material
topics. A team consisting of Subsea7’s functional leads and
subject matter experts identified and agreed on material
impacts, risks and opportunities resulting from the double
materiality assessment. This was subsequently approved
bySubsea7’s Executive Management Team.

For information relating to this disclosure, refer to the Short-
Term Incentive Plan on page 66 of the Remuneration Report.
Statement on sustainability due diligence
(ESRS 2 GOV-4)
For information relating to this disclosure, refer to Table A7
‘Statement on sustainability due diligence’, within the Appendix
on page 126.
Risk management and internal controls
oversustainability reporting (GOV-5)
Risk management
Identifying and managing risks is crucial to Subsea7’s
operations. For detailed information on Subsea7’s approach
to risk management and internal controls, refer to the
‘Principal Risks and Uncertainties’ section on page 30.
Theprocess of risk identification is performed by subject
matter experts within various functions and technical
domains throughout the Group, and once identified,
materialrisks, including those related to sustainability,
arereviewed by the Risk Committee. This committee
worksclosely with the Sustainability Committee on risks
associated with sustainability.
Sustainability-related risks often correspond to risks that
could have a significant impact on the Group, whether these
are assessed based on financial or non-financial metrics.
These risks are managed in a similar way to all other risks,
through risk management programmes informed by functional
and technical expertise across the Group. Further details on
the Group’s risk management processes and the roles and
responsibilities are disclosed in the ‘Principal Risks and
Uncertainties’ and ‘Governance’ sections on pages 30 to
31and 48 to 64 respectively.
Risk management over sustainability reporting
Subsea7’s sustainability reporting is exposed to risks including,
but not limited to, material misstatement due to human error,
incomplete data, complex reporting structures, the evolution
of the Group’s assessment criteria or misinterpretation of
reporting standards. This is mitigated through:
• Clear and well-structured sustainability governance
as described on page 73
• Mapping of Subsea7’s disclosures to the relevant
internal supporting evidence such as policies,
management practices and systems to support
a robust and traceable approach
• Collection of sustainability information through a
dedicated sustainability team site that provides
transparency and traceability of data
• The use of estimates, where possible, when information is
not available or has not been received, management will
clearly indicate where this is the case
• The verification by functional leads of sustainability
information including metrics and approval by the relevant
management lead.
There are no changes in the process to report for 2025
compared to 2024.
Internal control over sustainability reporting
Subsea7’s systems of internal controls are shown in the
‘Principal Risks and Uncertainties’ section on page 30
andinthe ‘Governance’ section on page 48 to 64.
Subsea7’s Integrated Reporting Director has the
responsibility to improve internal controls regarding
sustainability data and reporting by designing, implementing
and overseeing robust processes to ensure the accuracy,
completeness and reliability of sustainability data for
reporting. This position reports to the Executive Vice-
President of Strategy and Sustainability.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Management of material sustainability topics
Subsea7 is certified under ISO International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001
(Environment), ISO 45001 (Health and Safety), and ISO
37001 (Anti-Bribery) standards. Subsea7 has established
and applied policies and processes through its Business
Management System (BMS) to maintain the highest levels
of health and safety, business conduct, respect for human
rights, security, environmental compliance, and quality in its
operations. The BMS framework encompasses all activities
and locations where the Group operates.
Subsea7 has designated personnel accountable for the
content within the BMS. Their responsibilities include
managing BMS content globally, conducting regular
reviewsand updates of documents, and ensuring
compliance with ISO standards.
Strategy
Sustainability in our strategy, business model
and value chain(ESRS 2 SBM-1)
Subsea7 delivers project management, engineering,
procurement, fabrication and construction services across
the full development lifecycle of offshore energy projects.
These services are delivered to clients across the energy
landscape, in oil and gas, offshore wind, carbon capture and
storage (CCS), and emerging energies. It also contributes
to the offshore energy transition by helping to decarbonise
subsea and conventional developments, providing life-of-
field services, and electrifying offshore facilities. This includes
developing renewables and new energies sources by driving
innovation in offshore wind, CCS projects as well as studies
for hydrogen projects.
Subsea7 activities are primarily focused on the development
stage of the project lifecycle and are therefore late cycle.
For subsea work, this phase follows client’s exploration
andappraisal activities to define the characteristics of a
reservoir. For offshore wind work, it follows licence award,
consenting and subsidy or power purchase agreement.
Contracts typically commence after a client’s final
investment decision (FID) for a project. In the subsea
sector, contracts are mainly fixed-price engineering,
procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) scopes,
typically spanning three years, with engineering and
procurement in the first two years and offshore installation
activity in the final year. In the offshore wind sector, contracts
vary and include multi-year, fixed-price EPCI projects as
well as shorter transport and installation (T&I) scopes on
afixed-price or day-rate basis.
At 31 December 2025, Subsea7 operated a fleet of 38
high-specification vessels, of which 29 are owned and 9 are
chartered. The highest-specification ‘global enabler’ vessels
are owned by Subsea7 as they are critical in the delivery of
complex deepwater developments, while smaller construction
vessels are chartered to support our global enablers. This
ensures access to key installation capabilities while
retaining flexibility in the cost base.
Effective supply chain management is supported by
Subsea7 procurement teams and project managers
whocoordinate a large global network of suppliers,
strengthened collaborative relationships with key
partnersto ensure capacity and delivery aligned with
clientdevelopment schedules. Supply chain risk is mitigated
through back-to-back contracting and the use of framework
agreements with strategic suppliers.
Table 1-1 – Business model and role in value chain
What we do How we add value
Concept
Input at the concept phase allows for
optimisation of later lifecycle stages
Whether in oil and gas, wind or emerging
energies, being involved at the earliest stage
ofdevelopment enables us to deliver maximum
value. The concept stage is key to optimising
costs and emissions during development and
inthe later lifecycle stages.
We incorporate new technologies and
standardisation into the design process
tolower the total cost of development and
optimise emissions. Our carbon estimator
tool is used in all our significant tenders.
Design
Robust front-end engineering and
design (FEED) ensures accurate
forecasting
We advance the conceptual development
through our FEED services to ensure the
rightsolution is selected to fully optimise
thedevelopment.
We work with our alliance and client
partnersto optimise solutions, align
schedules and accurately forecast full
lifecycle costs. Theearlier our involvement,
the more value we can add through
optimiseddesign.
Engineering
Detailed engineering by experienced
personnel delivers the best solution
Engineering is at the core of what we do.
Detailed engineering involves taking the
initialsolutions developed in the concept and
FEED stages and refining these for execution.
For certain wind projects, our engineering
teamsalso support clients in their bids for
offshore licences.
Our global teams of experts have a track
record for designing the best solutions and
executing them. This stems from our ability
tosolve problems and engineer solutions.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
More information on Subsea7’s market position and
strategy are described on page 2 and on pages 10 to 17.
The Group focuses on sustainable delivery by prioritising
the material areas that create value for the business and
itsstakeholders. Subsea7 recognises that its activities can
impact, or be impacted by, sustainability matters, either
relating to its own workforce, or through relationships with
suppliers; emissions from its own operations; or the positive
or negative impact of client activities in which it participates.
By using defined metrics and key performance indicators
(KPIs), Subsea7 monitors these impacts, identifies areas
ofimprovements and enables more informed and effective
sustainability actions.
Subsea7’s overall approach to sustainability is guided by
itsmaterial topics defined through a double materiality
assessment, as detailed in page 79 and is structured within
a three-pillar framework.
• Solutions for the world’s energy needs, focused on
delivering offshore energy for today and tomorrow and
addressing our GHG emissions.
• Safety and people, centred on health and safety,
talentattraction, development and retention, and
diversityand inclusion.
• Acting responsibly, maintaining high standards of
behaviour, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, promoting transparency and accountability,
and fostering a strong culture.
These pillars enable Subsea7 to contribute to the global
sustainability agenda while supporting long-term value
creation for the business and its stakeholders. This approach
also ensures that sustainability considerations are integrated
into strategic planning, to support future preparedness and
long-term profitability.
Subsea7’s products and services are aligned to its
sustainability-related goals and summarised as part of
thisframework. Subsea7 does not provide any products
orservices that are banned in specific countries or regions,
with due reference to the relevant laws and regulations,

information’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue derived from the fossil fuel sector is primarily
reported under the Subsea and Conventional business unit,
in addition, this revenue is reported as non-eligible under
the ‘EU Taxonomy’ disclosure in Table 2-1 on page 81.
Interests and views of our stakeholders
(ESRS 2 SBM-2)
Engaging with the Group’s stakeholders and responding
totheir interests and views is important to Subsea7’s
long-term success. This involves building and maintaining
afoundation of trust and long-term relationships
withstakeholders.
Subsea7’s key stakeholders include shareholders, clients,
employees, suppliers, business partners and the society
inwhich it operates. By understanding Subsea7’s key
stakeholders’ interests and priorities, the Group can
betteralign on shared priorities and evaluate the strategic
direction within the context of stakeholders’ expectations.
As part of the Group’s ongoing engagement with
stakeholders, management aims to stay informed and
proactively address opportunities and risks identified
through regular interactions and communications. The
Group engages with its key stakeholders in a variety of
ways that are presented in Table 1-2.
The interests and views from a selection of Subsea7’s
keystakeholders were analysed during a double materiality
assessment process. This involved engaging with a diverse
group of internal and external stakeholders from various
segments of the value chain. The assessment provided
insights into the most relevant topics for different
stakeholders, enabling Subsea7 to further align its
businesspriorities with stakeholders’ expectations. It also
assisted management to prioritise key topics that offer
mutual value to stakeholders. For further details on how
management engaged with stakeholders during the double
materiality assessment, refer to ‘Materiality assessment’
section (ESRS 2 IRO-1) on page 79.

Material impacts, risks and opportunities (ESRS
2 SBM-3)
This section summarises sustainability-related impacts,
risks and opportunities (IROs) identified following the
double materiality assessment process (DMA) described
onpages 79 and 80.
In total, 28 material IROs were identified following the DMA.
This included 11 risks, six opportunities, nine negative
impacts and two positive impacts. While consideration
ofthe financial effects formed part of the DMA exercise,
current and anticipated quantitative financial effects
relating to Subsea7’s individual material risks and
opportunities, including any planned sources of funding,
were not assessed. Subsea7 responds to its IROs
throughthe implementation of several business actions
andactivities led by management. The list of material IROs
and corresponding actions, are disclosed in the relevant
sections relating to reporting in line with the ESRS.
Material IROs and interaction with
business model
Subsea7’s strategy is aligned with addressing its material
sustainability topics. At a management level, strategy and
sustainability are governed under the same leadership and
are inherently linked when identifying and assessing
considerations for the Group’s long-term positioning.
Climate-related IROs are material and may affect Subsea7’s
strategy and decisions impacting long-term positioning.
Climate-related matters may influence changes and
thepace of market dynamics, policies and regulations,
technology, and value chain behaviours. These changes
aretypically reflected in the forecast market size across
different geographies and energy market segments, indicating
the pace of the energy transition. This is further assessed
through Subsea7’s short- to medium-term outlook as part of
the annual budget and long-term strategic planning process.
Simultaneously, Subsea7 recognises the importance of
people in enabling and delivering the energy transition.
Thisis reflected in the outcomes of the DMA concerning
social topics, which are further detailed in the social
disclosures referenced in ‘Own workforce (ESRS S1)’
and‘Workers in the value chain (ESRS S2)’ within the
Sustainability Statements.
Furthermore, the DMA identified several foundational topics
for Subsea7, irrespective of the adopted strategy. These
encompass business ethics, human rights, responsible
supply chain management and cybersecurity, all of which
are integral to operating responsibly. These topics are actively
monitored to ensure compliance with relevant standards and
regulations to meet stakeholders’ expectations.

Materiality assessment (ESRS 2 IRO-1)
Subsea7 conducted a double materiality assessment (DMA)
in 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the EU CSRD
and the ESRS.
During 2025, as there were no material changes in the
Group’s organisational or operational structure, nor in
external factors that could generate new or modify existing
IROs or affect the relevance of current disclosures, the
DMA completed in 2023 continues to form the basis for
the2025 sustainability disclosures.
Identifying sustainability topics
Supported by an independent sustainability consultant,
theassessment was performed in stages. The analysis
firstly considered the context of Subsea7’s activities and
business relationships, value chain and affected stakeholders
to identify a long list of relevant sustainability topics, an
example of which is outlined in ESRS 1 paragraph AR16.
During this stage, sources included macro trends;
international and national sustainability frameworks and
regulations, such as the ESRS framework; sectoral reports;
ESG ratings; industry peers; public organisations; and
internal strategic documents. The long list was refined
further to create a conceptual shortlist of 19 topics to
beassessed by both external and internal stakeholders.
Sustainability topics and sub-topics that were not relevant to
Subsea7’s business model were omitted from the assessment.
Interviews were conducted with a range of Subsea7’s
internal and external stakeholders to gain perspective
onthe relevance and materiality of topics. This included
engagement with shareholders, clients, suppliers and
employees. Stakeholders ranked the conceptual shortlist
oftopics in terms of relevance and provided qualitative
insights through one-to-one interviews. A weighted score
was applied to the different stakeholder groups, using
thesalience model when considering their perspectives –
aprocess used to evaluate stakeholders based on three
attributes: power, legitimacy and urgency.
Subsea7 evaluated the potential material topics from two
perspectives. The assessment examined the effects from
an outside-in (financial) viewpoint, focusing on the risks
andopportunities posed by ESG factors for Subsea7.
Additionally, an inside-out (societal/environmental)
perspective assessed the impacts of Subsea7’s business
activities on society and the environment at large. Business
impact workshops with internal senior leaders reviewed
the19 topics both financially and in terms of the broader
impact, following a defined scoring methodology as shown
in Table 1-3. As part of this exercise, Subsea7 included
abroad range of leaders representing the regional and
geographical locations in which the Group has
significantactivities.
Materiality threshold and scoring approach
In accordance with the principles presented in ESRS 1,
the DMA scoring method and criteria was based on the
approach referenced in Table 1-3:
Table 1-3 – Materiality scoring method
Impact materiality Financial materiality
Materiality
type
Impact materiality
represents the
actualand potential
(negative and positive)
impacts of Subsea7’s
operations and value
chain on society and
the environment.
Financial materiality
represents the risks
and opportunities
related to the
material topics for
Subsea7’s business.
Scoring
approach
Calculated by
summing up the scale
of the impact, the
scope of the impact
and the irremediable
character of the
impact, each rated on
a scale of 0 to 5.
It is calculated as
theaverage of the
impact on Subsea7
score and the
likelihood of
occurring score,
each rated on a scale
of 0 to 4.
In conjunction with scoring the material topics across the
two dimensions referenced in Table 1-3 the evaluation also
considered, where possible, time horizons, and where a
topic affects Subsea7’s value chain.
Output from the double materiality assessment
The DMA identified 10 sustainability topics, as shown
intheSubsea7 double materiality matrix on page 80, to
bematerial to Subsea7’s business and its stakeholders.
Themateriality threshold, as indicated in the matrix,
wassetin line with the factors referenced in Table 1-3.
The DMA also yielded results in relation to topics that are
currently of lower materiality to Subsea7 (i.e. that fell under
the threshold for material topics), which were therefore
excluded from Subsea7’s sustainability reporting obligations.
These topics will continue to be monitored by management.
To finalise decisions on material sustainability topics,
avalidation session was held with the Sustainability
Committee. There then followed a review and approval
bythe Board in 2024.
The material topics were linked to relevant ESRS
todefineSubsea7’s CSRD reporting obligations. The detailed
IROs disclosed in the relevant sections relating toreporting
inlinewith the ESRS, were concluded following the DMA.
Thisinvolved aligning with the Group’s overall risk
management approach and mapping sustainability-
relatedIROs with disclosed information where relevant.
Sustainability risks, in many cases, reflect risks identified
ashaving a potentially material negative impact on the
Group, whether assessed against financial metrics or other
non-financial criteria. Sustainability risks are managed in the
same way as all other risks, at a functional level within the
Group, and details of how the Group manages risks, and the
roles and responsibilities are shown in the ‘Governance’ and
‘Principal Risks and Uncertainties’ sections on pages 48 to
64 and pages 30 to 47, respectively. Sessions were then
held with senior management to assess and validate the
identified IROs for accuracy and completeness, the
Executive Management Team then approved the
assessment of the IROs.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
During 2025, there was no material change in the Group’s
organisational or operational structure, and no material
change in external factors that could generate new or
modify existing IROs or that could impact the relevance
ofcurrent disclosures, therefore, Subsea7 refers to the
DMA performed in the second half of 2023 for the 2025
reporting period.
This disclosure explains future improvements in the ongoing
due diligence and double materiality assessment process,
including robust engagement with affected stakeholders.
Due diligence is an ongoing practice that responds to and
may trigger changes in the Group’s strategy, business
model, activities, business relationships, operating, sourcing
and selling contexts. The Sustainability Statements may
notinclude every impact, risk and opportunity or additional
entity-specific disclosure that each individual stakeholder
orgroup of stakeholders may consider important in their
own particular assessment.
Disclosure requirements in ESRS covered by
sustainability statements (ESRS 2 IRO-2)
For information relating to the disclosure requirements in
line with the ESRS which are material to Subsea7, refer to
the reference tables in the ‘Appendix’ on pages 122 to 124.
For data points that derive from other EU legislation as listed
in ESRS 2, refer to the ‘Appendix’ on pages 124 to 126.
Minimum disclosure requirements on policies
and actions
Unless stated otherwise, the following applies to all policies
referred to in the Sustainability Statements:
• The policies apply to all geographical areas of operations,
and all of Subsea7’s workforce without any exclusions
• The implementation of each policy is the responsibility
ofthe functional director, with overall accountability
within the Executive Management Team
• All policies are available in the Group’s Business
Management System and made available to any person
inthe organisation
As described in the ‘Sustainability in our strategy, business
model and value chain (ESRS 2 SBM-1)’ section on page 75,
Subsea7’s activities can both impact, or be impacted by
sustainability matters, whether through its workforce and
operations, relationships with suppliers, or the positive or
negative impact of client activities in which it participates.
Subsea7 responds to its impacts, risks and opportunities
through the implementation of several business actions
andactivities led by management. Overall accountability
lieswith the Executive Management Team. Subsea7 also
uses targets to monitor progress and identify areas for
improvement across its sustainability priorities. These
targets are disclosed in the relevant sections relating
toreporting in line with ESRS requirements. Further
information on the oversight of sustainability matters
isdetailed in the ‘Risk management and internal controls
oversustainability reporting (GOV-5)’ on pages 74 to 75.

Revenue (turnover)
The primary source of revenue contributing to the numerator of the taxonomy revenue KPIs was generated from the
installation of offshore wind farm facilities. The proportion of the Group’s total revenue which was taxonomy-eligible in 2025
was 16% compared to 17% in 2024. The proportion of the Group’s total revenue that was taxonomy-aligned in 2025 was 15%
compared to 16% in 2024.
Capex
All capex contributing to taxonomy KPIs, which included additions of vessels to the Group’s fleet and right-of-use assets,
wasin support of the Group’s activities related to the offshore wind business. The capex was invested in line with the Group’s
long-term strategy and planning objectives. The Group’s taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned capex in 2025 represented
14% of the total capex of the Group compared to 16% in 2024. The year-on-year decrease in taxonomy-eligible and
taxonomy-aligned capex was primarily due to the investment in 2023 in the two newbuild vessels, Seaway Ventus and
Seaway Alfa Lift which were fully operational by 2024. In 2025 there was no new build investment.
Opex
Opex contributing to taxonomy KPIs included maintenance and repair costs directly related to vessels operating exclusively
on offshore wind activities and research and development (R&D) costs with a direct link to expected future revenue within
the offshore wind sector. The proportion of the Group’s opex that was taxonomy-eligible in 2025 was 19% compared to 15%
in 2024. A portion of the taxonomy-eligible R&D opex is related to subsea hydrogen storage and carbon capture and storage,
however, due to the early stages of these activities, the Group is not yet in a position to state whether alignment criteria were
met. Subsea7 will continue to review this for reporting in future periods.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
EU regulation
On 18 June 2020, the European Union (EU) issued
Regulation Commission 2020/852 on the establishment
ofa framework to facilitate investment for companies
registered within the EU. Under this regulation and its
delegated acts (the ‘EU Taxonomy’), the Subsea 7 S.A.
Group is required to publish, for the 2025 financial year,
eligibility and alignment indicators highlighting the
proportion of its revenue, capital expenditure (‘capex’)
andoperating expenditure (‘opex’), collectively, key
performance indicators (‘KPIs’) resulting from economic
activities considered as sustainable as defined by the
EUTaxonomy.
The EU Taxonomy defines an economic activity as
sustainable if it shows Significant Contribution (SC) to
reaching one or more of six environmental objectives,
DoNo Significant Harm (DNSH) to any of the environmental
objectives, and is carried out in compliance with the Minimum
Safeguards (MS). The six environmental objectives are;
climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation,
sustainable use and protection of water and marine
resources, transition to a circular economy, pollution
prevention and control, protection and restoration of
biodiversity and ecosystems. The assessment of eligibility
and the degree of alignment was performed based on a
detailed analysis of all the Group’s economic activities
undertaken in the year, measured against:
• The Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June
2021 and its annexes supplementing Regulation (EU)
2020/852 specifying the technical criteria for determining
under which conditions an economic activity may be
considered to contribute to climate change mitigation
or climate change adaptation,
• The Regulation relating to article 8 also defined as
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of the European
Commission of 6 July 2021 and its annexes supplementing
Regulation (EU) 2020/852 specifying how to calculate
the KPIs and the narrative information to be published,
• Amendments to Objectives 1 and 2 amending Delegated
Regulation (EU) No. 2021/2139 establishing additional
technical selection criteria for determining the conditions
under which certain economic activities may be considered
to contribute substantially to climate change mitigation
oradaptation, and for determining whether such
activitiesdo not adversely affect any of the other
environmental objectives,
• Clarification of the EU Taxonomy’s other environmental
objectives relating to the protection and sustainable use
of water and marine resources, the transition to a circular
economy, the prevention and control of pollution and the
protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems
via the Commission’s delegated regulation (EU) of
27 June 2023 supplementing delegated regulation
(EU) 2020/2139
Subsea7 performed an exercise to identify each economic
activity that contributed to the Group’s Consolidated Financial
Statements. An analytical methodology was applied, which
involved definitions, assumptions and estimates, themain
elements of which are described inthefollowing sections.
This analytical methodology willcontinue to develop as the
EU Taxonomy evolves.
Eligible economic activities under the
EU Taxonomy
The first step of the alignment assessment in accordance
with the EU Taxonomy requires the Group to identify
alleligible economic activities for each of the published
environmental objectives. The economic activities identified
resulted from a comprehensive review of the Group’s
activities in 2025.
Stakeholders within the Group were engaged to analyse
allthird-party revenue-generating activities, as well as any
activities for which there was capex which may generate
revenue in future periods, and opex such as research and
development (R&D) spend.
The Group’s activities, which were assessed to be EU
Taxonomy-eligible for the six environmental objectives are
shown in table 2-2 on page 84, with only the climate change
mitigation objective being relevant.
The classification of activities in 2025 is consistent with
what was reported in prior years with revenue generating
activities falling under 4.3 ‘Electricity generation from wind
power’. Activities categorised under 5.11 ‘Transport of CO
2
‘
did not meet the Substantial Contribution criteria and
therefore were deemed to be eligible but not aligned.
Eligible capex and opex are also included primarily in the
activity ‘4.3 Electricity generation from wind power’ with
asmall amount of opex linked to the activity 9.1 ‘Close
tomarket research, development and innovation’, which
considers expenses linked to R&D, in this case R&D
related to green hydrogen storage studies.
The review of eligibility indicators covered all of the
Group’s economic activities included in the Group’s
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
31 December 2025. In the year, 99% of the eligible
revenue related to theconstruction of electricity
generation facilities thatproduce electricity from
windpower, with the balance consisting of the
Group’sparticipation in carbon capture projects.
For clarity, the oil and gas related economic activities of
theGroup’s Subsea and Conventional, and Corporate
business units were assessed as non-eligible under the
EUTaxonomy. All oil and gas related activities were
deemed non-eligible due to the exclusion of fossil fuel
extraction activities from the EU Taxonomy target scope.
Notwithstanding this, the Group’s non-eligible activities
included activities contributing to reducing the carbon
intensity of the energy transition such as carbon footprint
optimisation, studies related to carbon capture systems in
the oil and gas sector, a project for the electrification of an
offshore platform using floating wind technology, and other
less significant carbon footprint reducing activities.
It is possible that some of these activities may fall into
theeligible scope in the future and this will continue to
bemonitored.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Alignment assessment for revenue-
generating activities
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the EU Taxonomy
Regulation requires eligible activities to be analysed
regarding their compliance with the alignment criteria
foractivities under climate change mitigation and climate
change adaptation objectives, which includes considerations
related to Substantial Contribution, do nosignificant harm
and minimum safeguards.
Substantial Contribution
Activity 4.3 ‘Electricity generation from
wind power’
In order to meet the technical screening criteria related
to this activity, management concluded that all eligible
activities met the Substantial Contribution criteria as the
activity ultimately resulted in the generation of electricity
from wind farms.
Activity 5.11 ‘Transport of C0
2
’
During assessment of these activities it was concluded
that the Substantial Contribution criteria of this activity
were not met and therefore the activity is not aligned to
the taxonomy requirements.
Activity 9.1 ‘Close to market research,
development and innovation’
Substantial Contribution criteria were met as the OPEX
under this activity relates to studies for the construction
of subsea hydrogen storage facilities. This is in its early
stages, with activities related to R&D spend, and as such
it was concluded that Subsea7 could not yet classify the
activity as taxonomy-aligned.
Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)
Internal policies and procedures were used in the
assessment of the DNSH criteria. Including the Group’s
Sustainability Strategy, Compliance and Ethics policies,
and Environmental Management Procedure. In addition,
the Environmental Management Plans for each eligible
project were reviewed. The following DNSH criteria
were considered:
Protection of biodiversity and ecosystems (4.3)
For all of the Group’s eligible activities, ISO 14001 certified
environmental management plans are implemented. These
plans provide a framework to allow management to monitor
and mitigate the environmental impacts of the Group’s
business operations and meet the requirements of all
applicable regulations. Within the plans a number of
standards and procedures are maintained in order to
meet the DNSH assessment criteria for EU Taxonomy
requirements. These plans incorporate inputs from the
Group’s clients. All issues identified and requirements
defined in the original environmental impact assessments
are considered to establish the consent requirements for
the activity; these are then incorporated into the client’s
environmental management plans, and finally into the
Group’s environmental management plans.
Regarding protection of biodiversity and ecosystems,
together with its clients Subsea7’s ensures that its
operations meet the requirements of the environmental
permits that its clients are held accountable against,
inturnensuring that the eligible activities do not hamper the
achievement of good environmental status as set out in
Directive 2008/56/EC.
Transition to a circular economy (4.3)
Subsea7 is focused on moving from a linear economy
towards a circular economy across its business and supply
chains. The intended result is to minimise resource use,
keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract
maximum value from them, reduce waste and promote
resource efficiency. Subsea7 has a group-wide Circular
Economy Guidance document, the purpose of which is
to provide guidance on Subsea7’s approach to promoting
the circular economy concept, both onshore and offshore.
The environmental management plans may also include
additional relevant assessments related to circular
economy issues.
Sustainable use and protection of water and
marine resources (4.3)
Sustainable use and protection of water and marine
resources is also considered in the assessment. In the
case of the construction of offshore wind infrastructures,
Subsea7’s activities do not hamper the achievement of
good environmental status, Subsea7 works with its clients
to ensure legislative requirements under environmental
licenses are met. An example of where steps were taken
to minimise potential noise impacts was the successful use
of near-field noise mitigation systems, including bubble
curtains, on wind farm projects to protect the environment
from the sound and vibration caused by pile-driving
foundation structures into the seabed.
Adaptation to climate change (4.3)
As part of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD) requirements, climate-related risks
and opportunities have been identified that may have
astrategic or financial impact on the Group. Refer to
ESRSE1– Climate change section on page 88 for more
information. In addition to the identification of climate-
related risks, Subsea7 commissioned an independent third
party to perform an analysis of short-term risks. Climate risk
and vulnerability assessments were also performed by the
Group’s clients to meet alignment expectations.
Minimum Safeguards
The EU Taxonomy defines a set of Minimum Safeguards in
accordance with Article 18 of the Regulation. The Minimum
Safeguards are a set of defined UN, EU and other international
human rights and code of ethics guidelines against which
businesses must assess their procedures. Four themes are
covered under the Minimum Safeguards criteria: human rights,
corruption, taxation and fair competition.
In order to meet the requirements, the Group has established
a process for mapping its policies and procedures to the
following guidelines and standards, as set out by the
EU Taxonomy:
• The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises;
• The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights;
• The principles and rights set out in the eight fundamental
conventions identified in the Declaration of the International
Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles
and Rights at Work;
• The International Charter of Human Rights.

Safeguards. Further information is available in the Group’s
Business Ethics, Human Rights and Tax policies section at
www.subsea7.com and within the Sustainability Statements
within this document.
Methodology for calculating KPIs
The financial information used for the EU Taxonomy report
is based on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2025 and was sourced
from the Group’s financial information systems. It was
subject to internal review and assurance by the Group’s
finance function to ensure consistency of approach with
the revenue, opex and capex information reported in the
Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group’s taxonomy-eligible/aligned revenue KPIs are
determined by dividing the sum of the revenue related
toeligible and aligned activities by the total revenue
ofallactivities as reported in the Group’s Consolidated
FinancialStatements. The Group’s revenue relates mainly
toengineering, procurement, construction and installation
contracts recognised in accordance with Note 3 ‘Material
accounting policies’ in the Group’s Consolidated Financial
Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Group’s taxonomy-eligible/aligned capex KPIs are
determined by dividing the sum of the capex of eligible
and aligned capex activities by the total of additions
tointangible assets, property, plant and equipment,
andaddition and remeasurement of right-of-use assets as
reported in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
For further details refer to notes 13, 14, and 15 to the
Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year
ended 31 December 2025.
The Group’s taxonomy-eligible/aligned opex KPIs are
determined by dividing the sum of the opex related to
eligible and aligned activities by the total opex for all
activities for the Group during the year ended 31 December
2025. The only operating expenses reported under the
numerator and denominator for the Group were:
• Expenses that relate to the maintenance and repair
ofproperty, plant and equipment; and
• Research and development expenses, including direct
personnel costs.
To avoid double-counting, management only included as
eligible those operating expenditures allocated in full to
supporting the execution of eligible activities. The expenses
already included under the capex taxonomy-aligned KPIs
have been excluded from the opex taxonomy-aligned KPIs
numerator and denominator.
Future Developments
In line with the Group’s strategy on pages 10 to 12, Subsea7
intends to continue to develop the Group’s Taxonomy
eligible and aligned KPIs and to continue to evaluate the
Group’s operations and identify any new activities which
may be eligible under the six environmental objectives
within the sustainability taxonomy.

ESRS E1 – Climate change
Integration of sustainability-related performance
in incentive schemes (ESRS 2 GOV-3)
While Subsea7 has set climate-related targets, and
monitors progress towards those targets, Subsea7 does
not currently assess the performance of its Board members
or Executive Management Team against the Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets referenced on page
92. A significant factor in achieving Subsea7’s emissions
reduction targets is the development of suitable alternative
fuels commercially available at scale in the market for the
maritime industry. This development is outside the control
of Subsea7, therefore, it would be unreasonable for the
Board or the Executive Management Team to be
assessedagainst these variables.
Transition plan for climate change mitigation
(ESRS E1-1)
Although Subsea7 has not developed a specific transition
plan for climate change mitigation, Subsea7’s strategy is
aligned with the energy transition in several ways, through
its operations in offshore wind and carbon capture and
storage (CCS), focus on deepwater oil and gas and in
decarbonising its own fleet. Subsea7 plays a leading
roleinthe construction of sustainable offshore energy
developments worldwide, and the fixed offshore wind
market is a significant part of Subsea7’s business. Subsea7,
through its Seaway7 brand, reported as the Renewables
business unit, has been operating in offshore wind since
2009. In 2025, the Renewables business unit generated
17% of the Group’s revenue and, by 31 December 2025,
hadsupported the construction of 19.9 GW of cumulative
power capacity of renewables projects through installation
of offshore wind farm infrastructures.
In 2024, Subsea7 delivered its first carbon capture project
scope for Phase 1 of Northern Lights in Norway. By utilising
the Group’s existing fleet of vessels, the project offers
anew source of revenue growth with limited associated
investment. In 2025, engineering progressed on Phase 2,
which includes a five-kilometre carbon dioxide (CO
2
)
pipeline, integrated satellite structures, umbilicals, tie-ins
and pre-commissioning activities. This phase will increase
CO
2
storage capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to at least
5 million tonnes per year, a significant step in decarbonising
hard-to-abate industries.
Subsea deepwater oil and gas is an important market for
Subsea7. Deepwater developments have an advantaged
carbon-intensity profile primarily due to the efficiency and
scale of these projects as they often target very large
reservoirs. To support this position, Subsea7 commissioned
an expert energy consultancy to perform a study to analyse
the relative carbon-intensity levels of extracting oil and gas,
specifically mapping emissions from exploration, drilling,
field development, production and transportation. The study
was performed to interrogate several industry research claims
that deepwater developments have, onaverage, thelowest
carbon-intensive method of extracting oil and gas. The
findings of the study support theobservation that offshore
hydrocarbons, particularly deepwater, has the potential
tobe the lowest carbon-intensive source per barrel of
oilextracted.
Subsea7’s proprietary technology and engineering
capability supports its clients in developing these projects
incost-effective and efficient ways. Subsea7 has extensive
expertise and experience in large offshore oil and gas field
developments. With the positive market momentum
anticipated, there is a greater need to support lower-carbon
solutions while meeting current and future energy needs.
Subsea7’s investment in OneSubsea, a global joint venture
between SLB, Aker Solutions and Subsea7, strengthens
and accelerates the solutions needed to reduce emissions
in subsea operations through a focus on innovation and
efficiencies in the integrated project offering through the
Subsea Integration Alliance which is described on page 10.
To further support climate mitigation, Subsea7 is
addressing its own GHG emissions, primarily from its fleet
of vessels, through its decarbonisation plan. As part of this
plan, Subsea7 aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG
emissions, targeting a 50% reduction by 2035 as compared
to an adjusted 2018 base year baseline, and achieving
Net-Zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050. While
Subsea7 is implementing changes and solutions available
today, there are several factors that could affect Subsea7’s
ability to meet these targets and could cause its plans to
differ materially from those currently reported, including
butnot limited to the availability and deployment of cleaner
technologies at scale commercially. Further details on
Subsea7’s decarbonisation targets and levers are shown
onpages 91 and 92. Renewable energy is an important part
of Subsea7’s business, and it aims to support its clients to
accelerate the energy transition. Subsea7 is committed
totranslating its renewables capabilities into benefits for
itsclients through the construction of offshore wind farms.
Subsea7’s ambition was to support 18 GW of cumulative
power capacity installed through renewable energy projects
by the end of 2025 and 35 GW by 2030. Subsea7 met the
first of these milestones, contributing to 19.9 GW of
installed power capacity by the end of 2025.
Subsea7 is committed to transparency in its climate
mitigation plans, targets, and progress. Subsea7’s economic
activities that relate to climate adaptation and mitigation
including capital expenditure and operating expenses
relating to activities in line with the EU Taxonomy regulation
are shown on pages 81 to 87. Reference is also made to
‘Targets related to climate change mitigation and
adaptation (ESRS E1-4)‘.
Management has adopted a structured approach to
assessing material risks, including climate risks,
opportunities, and impacts of the Group’s operations.
Thedecarbonisation plan and progress against this plan
and its targets are regularly reviewed by the Executive
Management Team and the Board of Directors. Progress
towards decarbonisation targets is shown on page 92,
whileprogress on renewables cumulative power capacity
supported targets is shown on page 24.
While Subsea7 has not fully analysed its locked-in
emissions, it intends to further mature this area as part
ofitscontinued review of the assumptions and actions
associated with the decarbonisation plan.
Resilience of strategy and business model(s)
(ESRS 2 SBM-3)
The strategy of Subsea7 is to create sustainable value by
delivering the offshore energy transition solutions the world
needs. As such, climate change impacts and opportunities
and its associated physical and transitional risks are
considered in the Group’s strategy. Subsea7 also recognises
the significant uncertainty in pace and direction of the energy
transition and the potential impact from climate change and
climate change-related risks on its business model.
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
88
GOVERNANCE
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
STRATEGIC REPORT
To build a resilient business, Subsea7 focuses on two main
business units: Subsea and Conventional, and Renewables.
This allows Subsea7 the flexibility to balance its strategic
focus in response to the global energy mix, demands of
society and the needs of its clients. These are driven by
thepace and direction of the energy transition in response
to climate change and in the various climate change
scenarios considered.
Subsea7 does not have a formal process to test the
resilience of its strategy and business model but makes
useof a number of climate change scenarios, including
those of recognised international organisations such as
theInternational Energy Agency (IEA), Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Rystad when
assessing climate change risk and the impact of climate
change on its future market and business model. As part
ofthe ongoing management of the Group, climate change
scenarios and reports are studied by management and,
when trends, scenarios or demand projections raise concerns,
specific analysis or investigations may be initiated to
substantiate the risk and the potential impacts. Based
onsuch specific analysis, the resilience of the Group’s
business model for specific events is assessed and any
necessary adjustments are made. Due to the common skills
and capabilities required within the Group, Subsea7 can
shift its strategic focus and allocate resources between
business units to meet current and future business demands.
Negative trends or scenarios can be linked to demand
forcertain products by the Group’s clients, or physical,
political or regulatory developments or events impacting
theGroup’sbusiness units, such as the deployment of
electric vehicles, grid constraints, supply chain bottlenecks,
oil price fluctuations, emission taxes (applicable to the
Group and/or its clients’ businesses) or other.
Processes to identify and assess material
climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities
(ESRS 2 IRO-1)
The process of risk identification and management is
embedded into Subsea7’s operations at every level. The
‘Principle Risks and Uncertainties’ section on page 30
details Subsea7’s risk management approach and its
internal controls. Risk identification is managed through
functional and technical expertise across the Group, with all
risks, including those related to sustainability, being
reported to and assessed by the Executive Risk Committee
in close collaboration with the Sustainability Committee for
sustainability-linked and climate-related risks. To support
preparedness for potential climate-related risks and
opportunities, and to ensure effective management,
Subsea7 considers short-term (0-2 years), medium-term
(up to 5 years), and long-term (beyond 5 years) horizons.
The time horizon for short-term risks differs slightly from
those stated under ESRS 1 to incorporate the timing of the
Group’s budgeting and planning process, which starts
mid-year and, therefore, incorporates the current year plus
the following year for which the budget is prepared.
The identification and assessment of climate-related risks
has primarily focused on transitional risks. Subsea7 intends
to further mature this process for physical climate-related
risks and aims to report on the outcomes in future periods.
The process of identifying and assessing climate-related
risks and opportunities is performed both regionally and
globally. Globally, this process is led by a group of subject
matter experts and reviewed by the Executive Sustainability
Committee. Qualitative analysis includes considering
various types of climate-related transitional risks related
tocurrent and emerging regulations, technology, legal,
market,and reputational topics. Similarly, climate-related
opportunities are evaluated globally, focusing on aspects
such as resource efficiency and market prospects. These
risks and opportunities have the potential to impact the
Group financially or strategically, and they are considered
by their type, timescale, likelihood of occurrence, and
potential magnitude of financial effects.
Regionally, Subsea7 regularly evaluates short-term risks,
especially project-based risks related to operational
activities. For instance, operational procedures for
theGroup’s fleet and project execution incorporate
management of climate-related risks such as sea and
weather conditions, and the regional management teams
evaluate risks related to future business in light of the
energy transition, which is influenced by sustainability
matters and climate-related impacts.
Management assesses medium-term strategic positioning
through the Group’s five-year strategic plan. Operating
within the energy industry, Subsea7 recognises that
climate-related issues may affect the pace of the global
energy transition and, consequently, its strategy and
long-term positioning.
The five-year strategic plan includes regional assessments
of short and medium-term prospects, along with related
risks and opportunities. Regions use third-party data to
interpret market forecasts and drivers, thereby assessing
the business strategy within the evolving offshore energy
market. Climate-related factors affecting market dynamics
and value chain behaviours are typically reflected in
forecast market sizes across different geographies
andenergy segments, indicating the pace of the
energytransition. This review facilitates budget allocation,
strategicdecision-making, regulatory compliance reviews,
and discussions about new and emerging risks and
opportunities that require consideration within the
nextfive years.
Climate-related risks and opportunities beyond the five-year
horizon are qualitatively assessed, focusing on long-term
transition risks and opportunities. Such risks include current
and emerging regulations, technology, legal aspects, market
trends and reputation, which could potentially influence the
Group financially or strategically. Long-term considerations
also involve reviewing changes in regulatory requirements,
market trends, and consumer demands.
Subsea7’s business activities that align with the transition
tonet zero and environmental sustainability are detailed in
the EU Taxonomy disclosure on pages 81 to 87. Although
future business activities are not assessed against this
framework, Subsea7 will continue to report under the EU
Taxonomy to clarify which activities are eligible and aligned
and which are not.
This section refers to the climate-related IROs identified
following the double materiality assessment process as
described on pages 79 to 80. Table 2-6 presents the
IROsin relation to climate change.

While Subsea7 lacks a specific climate policy, the Group’s
Values and the Code of Conduct address the importance
ofclimate matters. The Code of Conduct includes a
dedicated section related to people, community and the
planet. There is a section focused on the environment and
climate change, highlighting the importance of reducing
emissions and supporting the development of sustainable
energy through the Group’s Renewables business unit.
Actions and resources in relation to climate
change policies (ESRS E1-3)
Addressing GHG emissions from direct
operations:
Decarbonisation lever – use of alternative fuels and
energy systems:
Subsea7’s short- and medium-term focus
ison the use of different types and blends of biofuels as
aviable route to reduce GHG emissions. A process is now
inplace that enables transition of the Group’s vessels to
biofuel blends as and when available and technically and
economically viable. While the availability of biofuels in
general is slowly improving, the maritime sector is in
competition with other users, mainly road transportation
and aviation, and barriers related to availability and
uneconomic pricing will remain. The economic viability and
competition for these fuels will be strongly influenced by
evolving law and regulation for all sectors at both a national,
regional, and global level, which include various alternative
fuel standards and carbon pricing mechanisms. Subsea7
continues to monitor the development of all alternative
fuels, the technologies required to use them, and the
associated laws and regulations, recognising their
significant potential to support reduction of GHG emissions
from our operations as they mature. For the longer term,
various alternative fuels are being considered, but progress
is hindered by limitations in readiness, availability,
technology, scalability, and cost. Based on our research
andevaluation, paraffinic fuels, co-processed marine gas
oil, and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) could offer viable
near-term solutions.
Decarbonisation lever – hybridisation and shore power:
Subsea7’s owned fleet includes the hybrid vessels Seven
Viking, Seven Arctic and Seaway Ventus. The newest vessel
in the fleet, Seaway Ventus, was delivered with a fuel-saving
direct current system as opposed to alternate current
systems that have dominated the marine industry in the
past. Seaway Ventus is equipped with diesel engines delivering
15 MW and batteries capable of delivering 8 MW for short
periods. It has been demonstrated that a reduction in GHG
emissions of up to 17% can be achieved on Seven Arctic
when in it is working in dynamic positioning mode. However,
contractual or client requirements can pose a barrier to
realising the full reduction in emissions. At 31 December
2025 design and procurement of the hybrid system for
Seaway Alfa Lift was ongoing.
Decarbonisation lever – operational efficiency
improvement:
Subsea7 uses digital dashboards to monitor
vessel performance and improve fuel efficiency. In-house
systems collect operational data, establishing the basis
formore informed decisions to be made that may improve
overall fuel use. The Group has fitted the majority of its fleet
with digital fuel flow meters, providing essential data for
analysis, feedback, and adjustments. This allows precise
monitoring of fuel and consumption. Hull cleaning can
alsohave an impact on reducing fuel consumption and
operational efficiencies, and Subsea7 has developed
updated hull cleaning/marine growth guidance that will
allow timely decisions on the cost and benefit of hull
cleaning. Management is working with specialist cleaning
companies to be able to implement this more consistently
across the Group.
A number of smaller fuel reduction initiatives are at varying
levels of implementation. Reduced responsiveness and
accuracy of the Dynamic Positioning (DP) system when
theproject allows is an operational standard for all vessels.
On the equipment side, switching to LED lighting and
replacing single speed cooling pumps or fans with more
energy efficient variable speed equipment are some of
other projects in development.
Subsea7’s decarbonisation levers are also referenced
onpage 92.
Addressing emissions across the value chain –
upstream:
Engagement with key suppliers plays an important part in
the Group’s objective to reduce its Scope 3 GHG emissions.
To support engagement, Subsea7 continues with sustainability
engagement meetings with key suppliers on reducing
Scope 3 GHG emissions and their preparedness for
upcoming regulations.
The focus for 2025 has been on our suppliers’ readiness
tocomply with the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
(CBAM), and a processes and procedures have been
developed to ensure compliance. With the support of
external consultants, our Supply Chain team has identified
Subsea7’s most material procurement categories, and the
approved suppliers of products and services within them.
The aim is to focus Subsea7’s supplier engagement related
to upstream value chain emissions within these most
material products and services.
Addressing emissions across the value chain –
downstream:
Regular engagement with Subsea7’s clients is central to
understand the global market landscape and pace of the
energy transition. Subsea7’s Renewable business unit
primarily comprises the activities of Seaway7, a market
leader in fixed offshore wind and is also responsible for
floating wind activities, although this remains early stage.
Growth in offshore renewables
Electrification across society continues to accelerate,
supported by strong growth in renewable energy generation
and significant investment in grid infrastructure. Offshore
wind will continue to play an important role within the
broader renewable energy mix, however its forecasted
growth trajectory has been adjusted downward in the
recent years to reflect certain delays, cancellations and
reduced capacity expectations across key markets.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
Several factors underpin this shift:
• Challenging project economics, with many developments
still requiring subsidies to achieve viable business cases
• Political influence, including fluctuating levels of policy
support and prioritisation
• Changing priorities, where energy security consideration
has taken precedence over energy transition objectives
• Complexity of integrated energy systems, which
increases development timelines and risk profile.
While in the medium term, these dynamics are expected
tocreate challenging market conditions for the sector,
withfewer and lower gigawatt capacity projects being
constructed, the longer-term outlook is still positive
foroffshore wind, especially with the anticipated newly
announced governmental ambitions being implemented.
Fixed offshore wind
During 2025, Seaway7 delivered major offshore projects
across the globe, including significant scope completions
onHai Long, Dogger Bank B&C, He Dreiht, Yunlin and
Revolution.
Seaway7’s work on the Dogger Bank project, the world’s
largest offshore wind farm, began in 2019 commencing
withDogger Bank A. By the end of 2025, Subsea7 had
successfully installed 277 monopiles and 277 transition
pieces across Dogger Bank A/B/C. Delivering all three
phases of this landmark development has allowed Seaway7
to optimise its processes and establish new benchmarks for
efficiency. Furthermore, installation activities for East Anglia
THREE began in March 2025, with Seaway Ventus installing
39 monopiles and 39 transition pieces, as part of the
95 monopile scope.
Our cable-lay vessel Seaway Aimery completed the work
onRevolution project, the first commercial project in the
US,while the cable lay operations continued on Hai
Longproject with the Seaway Phoenix. In Germany the
Seaway Aimery and Seaway Moxie completed the 95km
cable laying, trenching and as-trenched survey scope for
He Dreiht Project, currently the largest offshore wind farm
inGermany with a total capacity of 960 MW. Combined,
these achievements reflect the efficient execution delivered
by both the onshore and offshore teams, who worked
closely with key suppliers to ensure smooth delivery
following the engineering, procurement and construction
phases of the components now installed.
Throughout 2025, Seaway7 contributed significant
volumeby successfully installing 163 inner-array cables,
128 monopile foundations, and 131 transition pieces,
enabling its clients to deliver approximately 4 GW of clean,
reliable power to support a more sustainable energy system
for the future.
Floating wind
While floating wind holds potential, project economics
remain a key constraint on the pace of development. In
2025, our efforts focused on maturing technologies and
solutions aimed to support lower-cost offshore floating
wind developments through several studies. These activities
have made good progress in positioning Seaway7 for future
significant floating wind developments.
Emerging energies
In 2025, Subsea7 focused on two main market
opportunities: carbon capture and storage (CCS) and
offshore green hydrogen production and transportation.
Additionally, there has been an increased investment
inenergy storage, leading to more investment in energy
storage solutions and technology. Following the completion
of Phase 1 of the subsea infrastructure for the Northern
Lights project and the official opening of the Northern
Lights CO
2
storage facilities, Subsea7 was awarded the
contract for Phase 2 of the development. Subsea7 also
continues to participate in the development of offshore
green hydrogen and offshore energy storage markets. In
2025 Subsea7 completed four studies related to offshore
green hydrogen production.
Metrics and targets
Targets related to climate change mitigation and
adaptation (ESRS E1-4)
In 2021, Subsea7 announced its target to achieve Net Zero
Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 and a nearer-term
target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50%
by2035 compared to an adjusted 2018 base year baseline.
Subsea7’s targets are not science-based, and at present,
oiland gas companies (including service companies
generating over 40% of revenue from oil and gas activities)
are not accepted as part of the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi). Subsea7 continues to monitor this position
and any developments. Subsea7, therefore, set its targets
in2021 in support of the goals at the time of the International
Maritime Organisation (the United Nations specialised
agency with responsibility for the safety and security of
maritime and the prevention of marine and atmospheric
pollution by ships), to be generally in line with peer
bestpractice at the time within the specialist marine
contracting sector, and in support of the targets set by
Subsea7’s key clients.
The targets cover the entire Group using a financial
reporting and control approach. The operational scope
includes all significant Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions,
primarily from consumption of marine fuels on owned
vessels and those leased for over 12 months. Scope 2
GHGemissions primarily include indirect emissions from
energy purchasing, mainly electricity, consumed by
onshorefacilities.
Subsea7’s roadmap to reach the targets for Scope 1 GHG
emissions is based on three core areas:
• Use of alternative fuels and energy systems: The
decarbonisation pathway relies on increased use of fuels
and energy sources with lower lifecycle GHG emissions
across the fleet, such as biofuels and synthetic fuels.
Some vessels will require no changes to use these fuels,
while others need adjustments depending on the type
andblend of fuel. Compatibility of these fuels with
existing systems is being assessed by management,
anddiscussions on technical and commercial impacts
areongoing with stakeholders.
• Hybridisation and shore power: Subsea7 continues to
look into viable opportunities for hybridisation and shore
power initiatives.
• Operational efficiency improvement: Measures have
been implemented to enhance fleet operating efficiency,
including improved energy management, optimised fleet
utilisation, and effective project planning and execution.
Digital tools are crucial in these improvements, aiding
decision-making and performance visualisation.

Table 2-10 and GHG removals and GHG mitigation projects
financed through carbon credits (ESRS E1-7) Table 2-12.
While management is implementing changes and solutions
available today, several factors could impact Subsea7’s
ability to meet emissions targets. These factors could
causethe Group’s plans to differ materially from current
expectations and include, but are not limited to, the global
availability of lower-emission fuels, energy and technology
at a commercial scale.
Subsea7 aims to support the continued growth of
renewable power by translating its renewable capabilities
intobenefits for its clients within the offshore fixed wind
industry. Subsea7 has set a target of supporting 18 GW of
cumulative power capacity installed by the end of 2025 and
35 GW by the end of 2030 through the construction of
offshore wind farms.
Scope 3 GHG emissions are not included in Subsea7’s
decarbonisation targets due to the complexity in calculating
the Scope 3 GHG emissions inventory for all categories in a
complete, accurate and traceable manner, and because the
measures required to decarbonise Scope 3 GHG emissions
are outside Subsea7’s direct control. However, a key part
ofSubsea7’s lower-carbon field development strategy is
toactively collaborate with its clients, suppliers, and other
stakeholders in the value chain to better understand and
develop common Scope 3 GHG emissions ambition and to
work together to decarbonise the energy value chain.

1. Scope 2 (market-based) GHG emissions
Base year and baseline
The Scope 1 and 2 target that has been set is a percentage
reduction in the GHG emissions inventory compared to an
adjusted base year inventory. It is calculated by comparing
the absolute GHG emissions inventory for the reported year
with the adjusted absolute GHG emissions inventory for the
base year. The adjusted absolute GHG emissions inventory
for the base year forms the baseline against which the
reported year emissions inventory is compared.
In order to meaningfully compare the Scope 1 GHG emissions
inventory in the reported year with the 2018 base year
inventory, any transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions,
that occurred between the base year and the reporting year
must be examined to determine if an adjustment to the base
year inventory is required. The adjusted absolute GHG
emissions inventory for the base year would then form the
baseline against which the reported year GHG emissions
inventory is compared. The base year’s absolute GHG
emissions inventory will be adjusted in accordance with
Subsea7’s GHG emissions adjustment (rebaselining) policy,
which is documented in the Group’s Corporate GHG
Emissions Accounting and Reporting Policy.
In line with peers and the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi), Subsea7 has set a threshold for GHG emissions
baseline adjustment if the impact of the net sum of potential
adjustments resulting from all individual events/transactions
isgreater than or equal to 5% of the baseline. In the event
that the threshold is triggered, the sum of the appropriate
adjustments must be applied to the base year inventory to
form the new baseline for the reporting year, recalculated
andrestated. Any changes are made at the end of each
reporting year, and the Group restates its baseline when
itreports its latest GHG emissions. This threshold will be
reviewed periodically and may be modified in the future.
Thenet sum of potential adjustments resulting from all
individual transactions between the base year and 2025
hasbeen evaluated, and the baseline for 2025 is reported
inTable2-10.

Gross Scope 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions (ESRS E1-6)
Subsea7’s total GHG emissions inventories under Scopes 1, 2 and available category in Scope 3 are presented in Table 2-10.
The Scope and category boundaries are in accordance with the definitions of the World Resources Institute GHG Protocol
and its supporting guidelines.
Subsea7’s approach to GHG emissions accounting and reporting is documented in Subsea7’s Corporate GHG Emissions
Accounting and Reporting Policy. The policy governs the following related to Table 2-10:
• Subsea7’s GHG emissions accounting, reporting methodology, adjustment policy, and models as well as referenced
standards, factors and Global Warming Potentials (or GWPs)
• An evaluation of which GHG emissions Scopes are material for Subsea7
• An evaluation of the quality of input information currently available to estimate each of the emissions Scopes (quantity data
and conversion factors)
• Based on the above, consideration of the completeness, accuracy and traceability of each Scope, and its suitability to
bedisclosed.
Table 2-10 shows the total GHG emissions disaggregated by Scopes 1 and 2 and available Scope 3.
In 2025, Subsea7 procured 100% renewable electricity through the purchase of market-based contractual instruments
suchas Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) and green tariffs supported by renewable energy certificates (RECs)
includingGuarantees of Origin. This approach follows the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance and is informed by other
relevantstandards. For a small portion of Subsea7’s market-based Scope 2 emissions associated with purchased heat,
steam and cooling, standardised market-based instruments are not currently available. These residual emissions are
reportedin both the location- and market-based scope 2 inventory in Table 2-10. As a step to account for these remaining
emissions, Subsea7 has purchased and cancelled voluntary carbon credits to compensate for these residual emissions.
Information is only available to support disclosure of Scope 3 Category 6 for business air travel. Information is not available
to support disclosure of any of the other upstream or downstream Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol Value
Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

1. The Scope 1 inventory covers material direct GHG emissions from the activity of Subsea7’s owned assets, and leased assets under Subsea7’s
financial control for a period of 12 months or more. These assets include Subsea7’s vessels and onshore facilities. The reported GHG emissions are
from combustion of fuels only. It is to be noted that Subsea7 included Scope 1 GHG emissions from onshore fuel consumption in this Scope 1 GHG
emissions inventory disclosure from 2024 only. The contributions to the 2025 Scope 1 GHG emissions inventory are as follows:
• GHG emissions inventory from Scope 1 fleet of vessels: 714,611 tCO
2
-e. This is actual estimated figures. The figure reported in Table 2-10 is
rounded to three significant figures per footnote 9.
• GHG emissions inventory from onshore fuel consumption: 10,389 tCO
2
-e. This is actual estimated figures. The figure reported in Table 2-10 is
rounded to three significant figures per footnote 9.
2. The 2018 base year Scope 1 GHG inventory has been adjusted in accordance with Subsea7’s adjustment policy and threshold to produce the
baseline for 2025. The adjustment is based on comparison of the size and composition of the base year fleet versus the reporting year fleet
andconsideration of the threshold for re-baselining.
3. 50% reduction in net annual absolute GHG emissions compared to the adjusted absolute baseline GHG emissions inventory.
4. The GHG emissions inventory stated to be within the scope of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) for 2025 includes only the relevant GHG
emissions from the Subsea7 assets that are within the boundaries of the scheme in 2025, and that are subject to surrender of allowances. This
inventory is calculated based on the consideration of vessel journeys, the phase-in mechanism and inclusion of CO
2
only within that scheme for those
assets in 2025.
5. The Scope 2 GHG emissions inventory includes indirect emissions from energy purchased and consumed by Subsea7 calculated using both
location-based and market-based methods. Location-based emissions are derived from average emission factors for the electricity grids supplying
the Group’s offices, fabrication yards, spoolbases and vessels while using shore power, as well as energy consumed for heating, steam and cooling.
Purchased electricity for use by the fleet as shore power while docked has been included for the first time in 2025.
6. Location-based GHG emissions comprise 5,380 tCO
2
-e from purchased electricity and 208 tCO
2
-e from heating, steam and cooling. The figure
reported in Table 2-10 is rounded to three significant figures per footnote 9.
7. Market-based emissions include purchased electricity through contractual instruments such as bundled and unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates
(EACs) and green tariffs, supported by renewable energy certificates (RECs) including Guarantees of Origin. In 2025, 100% of Subsea7’s purchased
electricity consumption was covered by such instruments. The coverage provided relates to 2025 energy consumption however the contractual
agreement takes place in early 2026, as full-year data is needed to determine the required volume. For the market-based emissions from other
indirect purchased energy from heating, steam and cooling, the national average emission factor is applied.
8. The reported Scope 3 GHG emissions only covers Category 6 for business air travel.
9. Our reporting on GHG emissions is based on tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO
2
-e), a standard unit used to compare and account for
emissions from various GHGs based on their global warming potential. The emissions conversion factors to calculate tCO
2
-e are described in
Subsea7’s Corporate GHG emissions accounting and reporting policy. The process for estimating GHG emissions inventories uses the appropriate
level of decimal places. The total annual absolute inventories for each Scope and category are then rounded to three significant figures for disclosure.

GHG removals and GHG mitigation projects financed through carbon credits (ESRS E1-7)
In 2025, Subsea7 purchased voluntary carbon credits to address its residual market-based Scope 2 emissions, as reported
inTable 2-10. A total of 1,100 voluntary carbon credits were acquired and cancelled during the reporting year. This volume
isin excess of Subsea7’s final calculated residual emissions of 208 tCO
2
-e under the Scope 2 market-based approach.
Thecredits were sourced from a blended portfolio of reduction and removal-type projects, which Subsea7 has accessed
through the voluntary carbon market, and which meet recognised third-party verification standards. All credits purchased,
including the surplus, were cancelled within the same reporting year.

Material impacts, risks, opportunities and their
interaction with strategy and business model
(ESRS 2 SBM-3)
Table 3-1 summarises the material impacts, risks and
opportunities in relation to the Group’s own workforce,
identified through the double materiality assessment (DMA).
For more details refer to ‘Materiality assessment’ section
(ESRS 2 – IRO-1) on page 79.
Own workforce includes all employees and non-employees
(the definition of this can be found in the Characteristics of
non-employee workers in the undertaking’s own workforce
S1-7’ section on page 108). All policies and processes cover
this population, unless otherwise stated. Subsea7 describes
how its material IROs interact with its strategy in section
‘Sustainability in our strategy, business model and value
chain’ on page 75. The negative impacts presented in Table
3-1 cover the Group’s own workforce. The activities and
actions leading to the positive impact are presented in
‘Diversity and inclusion’ section on page 104. Subsea7 did
not identify any material negative impacts for its workforce
as a result of the transition to a greener economy, however
there is a risk of failing to attract and retain suitably skilled
and capable personnel across all business units at a time
when societal preferences, particularly in the younger
demographic, are towards opportunities in energy transition
rather than oil and gas.
Impacts, risks and opportunities
management
In this and subsequent sections, the disclosures on
Subsea7’s own workforce will be presented, split into the
following four topics:
• Labour practices and human rights
• Health and safety
• Diversity and inclusion
• Talent attraction, development and retention.
Each topic is discussed independently, ensuring that all
relevant ESRS requirements are met. While Subsea7 does
not quantify the resources allocated to manage each
material impact, the implementation of each policy is the
responsibility of the functional director, with overall
accountability to the Executive Management Team.
Labour practices and human rights
Labour practices and human rights approach
and policies (ESRS S1-1)
Respecting human rights and managing the human rights
impacts of operations is how Subsea7 lives its Values and is
fundamental to how the Group conducts business. Putting
in place fair and lawful employment practices and providing
a working environment in which no one is abused or exploited
by Subsea7, or anyone the Group works with, makes for a
stronger and more reliable business capable ofattracting
and retaining talented people, and with which clients and
suppliers want to partner globally.
Human rights risks and potential impacts in the sector in
which the Group operates can be significant, due to the
type of work Subsea7’s workforce and suppliers perform
and the potential involvement of vulnerable, migrant workers
from countries with lower human rights protections.
Subsea7’s objective is to ensure it has identified and
assessed the risks and taken necessary steps to mitigate
and guard against them. In accordance with a risk-based
approach, management has identified child labour, slavery
and trafficking, and other forms of forced or involuntary
labour as the most salient human rights risks that could
have the most egregious impact. These are the labour-
related human rights risks Subsea7 is focused on managing
as a clear priority. Corruption, safety and security risks, and
environmental impacts are also recognised as key aspects
of the Group’s human rights obligations and are addressed
elsewhere in this report, where required or appropriate.
The Subsea7 Human Rights Policy Statement recognises
the Group’s responsibility and commitment to act in a
socially responsible manner, comply with applicable laws,
respect human rights and avoid complicity in human rights
abuses. The Group’s Human Rights Programme is designed
in accordance with appropriate principles and best practice,
including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights. In addition, the Group’s Human Rights Programme
isguided by international human rights principles encompassed
in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International
Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental
Principles and Rights of Work. By acting in this way,
Subsea7 aims to gain and retain the trust of its clients,
workforce, business partners, suppliers and other stakeholders.
There is also a commitment to work with suppliers and
partners whose human rights standards are consistent
withthose of the Group.
The Group’s Code of Conduct is applicable to all who work
for and on behalf of Subsea7 globally, including employees
and non-employees. It sets out the key principles that the
Group is committed to upholding, and which line management
is responsible for communicating and implementing. More
details and guidance on, commitments in relation to human
rights and labour practices can be found in it.
The Group’s Human Rights Policy Statement and Code
ofConduct have been adopted by the Group’s Board of
Directors and are regularly reviewed and updated.
Subsea7’s Human Rights Programme
Subsea7’s Human Rights Programme is underpinned by the
Group’s Human Rights Policy Statement and Code of
Conduct. The programme is designed to:
• Embed the Human Rights Policy Statement and the
relevant aspects of the Code of Conduct
• Identify and manage human rights risks across Subsea7’s
own operations and within its supply chain, with a
particular emphasis on the risks with the most egregious
impacts, namely child labour, slavery and trafficking, and
other forms of forced or involuntary labour
• Give effect to the Group’s commitments under the UN
Global Compact and the ILO Standards in relation to
childlabour
• Address existing and emerging stakeholder and
regulatory expectations and requirements, such as the
UK Modern Slavery Act, the Norwegian Transparency
Actand applicable EU diligence laws.
Many of the specific elements of the programme are
described in relevant sections of the Sustainability
Statements. The Group’s complete Human Rights
Programme can be viewed on Subsea7.com.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Processes for engaging with own workers and
workers’ representatives about impacts
(ESRSS1-2)
Subsea7 conducts an employee survey at a minimum once
per year, where we ask workforce for their views. The
survey, which is managed by the Group’s HR function,
covers questions on engagement, diversity and inclusion,
health and wellbeing and the Subsea7’s Values. Subsea7
has the ability through the survey platform to view the
results against the different demographics of the
workforce, allowing management to understand strengths
and future improvements. Line managers get individual
dashboards with their results, with suggested actions for
areas of improvement. The responses at the regional,
onshore (office-based) and offshore (worksites or vessel-
based) level are assessed to ensure the Group’s ambitions
are focused correctly to improve the workplace.
There is regular communication with our people. This is
done in a variety of ways such as weekly global emails,
townhalls, open Q&A directly with the Executive
Management Team, as well as regional and local office
village halls and celebration days.
Subsea7 continued to deploy the Worksite Sponsor
Programme, (refer to ‘Health and safety’ section
onpage101 for more details). We provide more information
to our people via the intranet or the Subsea7 application.
Processes to remediate negative impacts and
channels for own workers to raise concerns
(ESRS S1-3)
Subsea7’s Human Rights Programme includes a well-
established Speak Up Policy and confidential channel for
people to report serious breaches of its Code of Conduct.
For more details, refer to ‘Whistleblowing channels and
culture’ section on page 120. In addition, the Group has local
grievance policies and mechanisms, in line with its Global
Grievance Procedure and local legislation. These provide
afair and effective procedure for resolving individual
grievances on matters such as working practices, health
and safety, fair treatment, or terms and conditions of
employment. The Speak Up Policy, which is summarised
inthe Group’s Code of Conduct, offers various channels for
raising concerns, including an externally administered and
monitored confidential reporting line (Safecall), which is
promoted within Subsea7. This provides ways for our
people to report confidentially and, where local law allows,
anonymously. Anyone who becomes aware of a possible
breach of the Code of Conduct or has concerns in respect
of unethical conduct, including human rights violations,
isencouraged to utilise one of these reporting channels.
Subsea7 takes proactive steps to ensure that its own
workforce is aware of and reminded about the ways they
can raise concerns, which include:
• Annual compliance and ethics training, in which we
include specific scenarios relevant to human rights and
business ethics, as well as the ways to raise concerns
• Annual Global Integrity Day – at Subsea7 we set aside
one day per year, where across the Group we stop and
discuss what integrity means to us and how our people
are supported in raising concerns
• Ongoing communications and updates through
newsletters, intranet pages and Integrity Moments.
All allegations of human rights breaches received via
Safecall or internal channels are reported to the Group’s
Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (CECO), who records
them in a case management system and oversees their
investigation by appropriately independent managers,
inaccordance with the Group Compliance and Ethics
Investigations Principles and Procedure.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
If Subsea7 receives reports of concerns regarding slavery
or human trafficking in its operations or its supply chain,
weundertake an urgent, thorough investigation into the
concerns under the supervision of the CECO and,
potentially, the Ethics Committee. If the investigation
confirms the concerns, we put in place robust action
plansto address the issue and protect the victims.
Subsea7 uses its case management system to track
SpeakUp and other human rights cases and investigation
metrics, such as the number of reports received, the types
ofmisconduct alleged or suspected, and remedial
measurestaken. We use such metrics to assess areas
forimprovement in our programme, and we report them
tothe Ethics Committee and the Corporate Governance,
Nominations and Risk Committee. Feedback is offered to
the individual(s) who raised the concern, and any gaps and
remedial actions identified (e.g. training, communication,
policy revision or control enhancements) are captured in
the case management system and implemented at a local
level, unless they are best addressed at a Group level.
Refer to section ‘Whistleblowing channels and culture’
onpage 120 for more detail.
Actions relating to labour practices and
humanrights (S1-4)
Subsea7 is a signatory to the UN Global Compact and is
aligned with its commitment to respect and protect human
rights (Principles 1 and 2) and to fair and lawful employment
practices across the Group and throughout its supply chain
(Principles 3, 4, 5 and 6). The Group also supports the ILOs
Standards regarding child labour and minimum working age.
Subsea7 has established ambitions to enhance its
management of this material topic, namely:
• Ensuring broad understanding of Subsea7’s expectations
and commitments to the principles of the UN Global Compact
• Applying the principles of the UN Global Compact
withinSubsea7 and actively monitoring compliance
• Working with the Group’s suppliers and partners to
ensure that the principles of the UN Global Compact
areapplied across the value chain.
The Board of Directors and the Ethics Committee play
acritical role in overseeing the Group’s approach to
humanrights and ensuring processes are consistent with
international regulatory expectations and standards. Since
2023, a Board member with expertise on labour practices
and human rights has been nominated, strengthening the
Board’s oversight.
The Group’s assessment of human rights risks within its
own operations is conducted for every country in which the
Group operates, and on entry into a new, high-risk country.
The risk assessment enables management to identify where
the Group may face risks; and where there may be gaps in
the Group’s own policies and procedures.
The Group has published its Global Human Rights
Procedure, which underpins the Group’s Human Rights
Policy Statement. The procedure provides guidance on how
to address any policy and procedure gaps identified via the
Group’s risk assessment process, and thus better manage
the most egregious, potential human rights impacts. It
alsoprovides guidance on how the Human Rights Policy
Statement is implemented across the Group’s operations
and its supply chain, the role of the various associated
procedures, and where they can be found.
In 2025 the Group’s Human Rights Programme has
continued to mature to be able to effectively support
thedelivery of the Group’s business objectives. For more
detailson how the programme applies to Value Chain
Workers (or VCWs), refer to section ‘Policies related to
value chain workers’ on page 109.
Subsea7 continues to provide training and raise awareness
among the key leadership and functional roles that need
tobe able to help identify and manage human rights risks.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, 411 employees
inat-risk roles participated in formal human rights training.
This included completing the updated e-learning module
released in September 2025, as well as, for some regional
supply chain and human resources teams, attending
face-to-face training sessions. These trainings ranged
froma dedicated one-hour session led by the Group
HumanRights Manager to shorter refresher briefings
duringmonthly regional meetings. Subsea7 continues to
raise awareness about its Speak Up Policy and channels
toraise concerns, in order to encourage people to speak
up, and has also refreshed and increased visibility of
mechanisms for people to raise grievances via local
andglobal HRprocesses.
Our network of human rights champions is growing, and
they have become focal points for project tenders, requests
for information and supporting local actions in our offices.
Amonthly call is conducted with the network, where the
champions share good practice across the regions, and any
updates to the Human Rights Programme are discussed.
Subsea7 continued engagement with Building Responsibly,
an industry workgroup for construction and engineering
firms and the energy sector, focused on human rights,
worker welfare and labour practices. In 2025, Building
Responsibly remained focused on fair recruitment practices
and established a new workstream examining the human
rights risks further down the complex supply chain for major
construction projects.
The Group’s Human Rights Programme will continue to be
embedded across both our operations and our supply chain
to ensure we manage the identified human rights risks.
Further information on specific actions taken and progress
made in 2025 related to managing human rights matters
across the supply chain are described in section ‘Taking
action on material impacts on value chain workers, and
approaches to mitigating material risks and pursuing
material opportunities related to value chain workers, and
effectiveness of those actions (ESRS S2-4) on page 112.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Training to identify and manage human
rightsrisks
Subsea7 conducts human rights training for a selection of
its workforce to ensure that they understand and uphold
the Group’s commitment to labour practices and human
rights. The selection of personnel for this training is based
on their position within the Group and their role in the
Human Rights Programme, which involves identifying
andmanaging human rights risks. This includes:
• Regional leadership teams (Senior Vice Presidents,
VicePresidents and Directors) regardless of their function
• Relevant HR managers and HR personnel, including the
recruitment function
• Supply Chain Management (SCM) managers and screening
personnel involved in setting up and managing new suppliers
• Legal and compliance personnel
• Country management teams
• Any other corporate or functional personnel nominated
by management, for example security personnel.
The CECO oversees human rights training and ensures it is
reviewed and refreshed annually. In 2025 a new e-learning
module was created and rolled out to over 400 employees
selected in accordance with the above criteria. The training
used material from international best practice in
combination with interviews and advice from a range of
human rights champions across the business.

The Group tracks cases of potential human rights violations,
whether raised via our confidential reporting line (Safecall)
or reported to, or detected by, local management. All such
cases are investigated in accordance with the Group
Compliance and Ethics Investigations Procedure and, if
allegations or suspicions are substantiated, appropriate
sanctions and other remedial steps are applied or taken.
Graph 3-1 Incidents, complaints and severe human rights
registered and investigated during the year ended
31 December 2025.
1. The total number of cases increased from 22 in 2024 to 31, partly
because in 2025, for the first time, we captured cases raised via thenew
grievance tracker (which excludes Xodus, 4Subsea and Sonamet) and
Sonamet’s Safecall reporting line. We actively encourage people to
speak up, including via the annual Compliance and Ethics e-Learning
and the Global Integrity Day. Speaking up was also promoted in the 7Ally
training, which could also have contributed to the increase in the number
of cases. We expect to see the number going up year on year.
2. Of the 14 cases that were substantiated, the sanctions and remedial
steps that were applied included: three dismissals, three written
warnings and four oral warnings. There were no fines, penalties or
compensation for damages relating to these cases. The human rights
case was substantiated in early 2026. It is included for completeness
but does not constitute a severe human rights impact case.
3. As far as we are aware, no complaints were filed to National Contact
Points for OECD Multinational Enterprises.
Health and safety
Health and Safety approach and policies (S1-1)
Subsea7’s workplaces are potentially hazardous, particularly
when working offshore in harsh and remote environments.
The Group’s overall objective is to provide a safe and healthy
workplace for all, worldwide. The safety of our workforce is
at the heart of what we do. We are committed to an incident-
and injury-free workplace every day, everywhere and our
policies are reviewed to seek to improve safety performance.
People working on Subsea7’s sites anywhere in the world are
provided with the same level of protection.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
The UN Global Compact recognises the importance of
health, safety, and wellbeing through a number of its
Sustainable Development Goals. Subsea7 supports these
goals and ensures we create, maintain, and promote a safe,
secure, and healthy work environment.
Subsea7 has established a policy for Health, Safety, Security,
Environment and Quality (HSSEQ) setting the standards for
how Subsea7 commits to achieving an incident-free
workplace, delivering projects and services on time, within
budget, and to the required standards to create sustainable
value for shareholders, partners and the communities where
the Group operates. This policy applies to all of Subsea7 and
is overseen by the Executive Management Team, which is led
by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer.
There is a robust Business Management System (BMS)
inplace that supports fostering a culture that promotes
health and safety.
Subsea7’s BMS underpins the way health and safety is
managed. The Group’s line managers are responsible for
implementation and compliance with the system and ensuring
that all employees and non-employees are aware of their
responsibilities. The Group utilises Synergi (a platform
licensed by DNV-GL) as its incident management system.
Synergi is an integral part of Subsea7’s tools which provides
extensive functionality to record, capture trends, and use
observations to learn from events across the Group. All
incidents and near misses are recorded in detail and level
ofinvestigation is dependent in the actual or potential
seriousness of the event. The Health, Safety and
Environmental (HSE) Incident & Near Miss Case Management
Procedure in the Group’s BMS details the full-life cycle
process for case management of HSE incidents and near
misses in Subsea7. The document provides guidance on the
classification and recording of all incidents and near misses
and applies globally to all Subsea7 controlled vessels, sites,
and offices within its operational boundary.
Subsea7 measures activities against its internal standards
and processes as well as regulatory and legislative
requirements. Subsea7 applies the philosophy and concepts
of Human and Organisational Performance (HOP), which
facilitates how we learn, not only from HSE incidents and
near misses, but also from normal work we do at Subsea7.
Subsea7 has continued to introduce tools based on our
HOPphilosophy. The Uncomfortable Gauge is a visual
toolthat helps teams recognise and discuss feelings of
uncertainty or concern about task’s safety or success.
Itencourages open conversations to identify additional
controls, pause work if conditions change, and is intended
asgood practice rather than a formal or recorded process.
Additionally, Subsea7 has updated our HSSEQ Card to
include both our Observations and Intervention cards and
our‘Useful Questions’ that help teams reflect and improve
safety practices. In collaboration with Google, the Group
isinthe process of implementing artificial intelligence (AI)
functionality to analyse data from these cards so we can
learn from normal work and continuously enhance performance.
Processes for engaging with own workers
andworkers’ representatives about impacts
(ESRS S1-2)
Please refer to section ‘Processes for engaging with own
workers and workers’ representatives about impacts (ESRS
S1-2)’ on page 99.
Actions related to health and safety (S1-4)
Subsea7 continued to deploy the Worksite Sponsor
Programme across its vessels and onshore work sites. This
involves a two-way communication between operations and
senior management, to enable a focused level of support
and discussion around safety-related performance,
incidents and potential issues.
There has been an increased level of assessment within our
supply chain to support improved performance. This
included close collaboration with multiple suppliers via
several safety meetings to better understand the common
challenges our suppliers are facing. By engaging with
suppliers, Subsea7 was able to identify potential areas of
improvement to support the overall quality of delivery to
better achieve predictable performance.
Supported by teams across the Group, focus remained on
upholding our ‘work safe, home safe’ commitment. This
long-standing commitment captures our responsibility to
everyone working on, or connected with, a Subsea7 site where,
as a priority, a safe environment for those involved or affected
by our activities is ensured, where everyone participates and is
empowered to stop the job if they feel it is unsafe.
Subsea7 continues to hold the Leading Safety Programme
sessions, based on the feedback from Offshore Management
Teams (OMT), which confirmed that the skills being learnt
init were having a favourable impact on the application in
addition to use of our safety tools such as toolbox talks
andpre-task briefings. This encouraged the Group to
maintain and deliver our safety leadership training to
relevantemployees in order to underpin our safety culture
andperformance. The training focused on developing and
inspiring leaders to encourage a positive safety environment
where HOP principles develop.
Targets related to managing material impacts,
advancing positive impacts, as well as to risks
and opportunities (ESRS S1-5)
Metrics and targets (HSE)
• Lost time injury (LTI) frequency target: <0.03 per
200,000 working hours
• Total recordable cases (TRC) frequency target: <0.18 per
200,000 working hours
• Serious injury potential frequency: <0.10 per 200,000

• Serious injury actual frequency: 0 per 200,000 working hours
• Observation frequency: 500 per 200,000 working hours
• Intervention frequency: 100 per 200,000 working hours
Health and safety targets are set by Senior Management at
the start of each year, following a full review of the previous
year’s health and safety performance. Health and safety
targets are tracked through Synergi, the Group’s incident
management platform, and discussed at the monthly
General Management Team meetings.
Analysis is performed on the metrics and targets in order
toidentify any trending, which then shapes future HSE
improvement initiatives.

Embracing diversity in the workplace helps maintain access
to, and supports, a diverse pipeline of talent. At Subsea7, it
is recognised that an inclusive and diverse environment not
only fosters creativity and innovation but also improves
decision-making through new ways of thinking.
As the energy industry continues to evolve, Subsea7 needs
to build new skills and develop global perspectives to make

campaign aimed at reducing the occurrence of potential serious injuries, in addition to a specific Hand and Finger injury campaign. The work to
prevent serious injuries included conducting analyses of all near misses and incidents over the last 3 years to understand in more details our
company specific risks, as well as reviewing industry best safety practices. The result of this work concluded in strengthening the risk management
process, improving consistency in the investigation process and decluttering of safety messaging.
Following the launch of the Subsea7 Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)
Framework in 2022, we continue to focus on our four pillars:
• Inclusive culture
• Gender balance
• Nationality balance
• Recruitment pipeline.
Subsea7 recognises that D&I ambitions can be achieved
byestablishing a clear agenda that is implemented and
enforced by systematic management actions. The Executive
Management Team and the Corporate Human Resources
Team are responsible for developing the overarching Group
ambitions and global approaches. This isdone collaboratively
with input from our senior leaders in each of our regions.
Each region then sets out its plans to meet the ambitions
within its business.
Subsea7’s commitment to equal opportunities and diversity
involves promoting equality of opportunity and addressing
unfair discrimination in every aspect of its operations – in
governance, management systems, operational activities
and within the workforce.

Programme for senior leaders. This programme exposed
our leaders to new perspectives and experiences of
employees from diverse backgrounds, all in a safe space
forlearning and curiosity.
There has been a continued focus on increasing women
inleadership positions with targeted development of our
topfemale talent both onshore and offshore by ensuring
robust representation on all our development and conversion
programmes. Our efforts continue in gender-balanced early
careers positions in both graduates and cadets. Our 2025
graduate class included 172 people, representing 20
different countries, with 40% being female.
In 2025, we completed our onshore Talent Review process
in SuccessFactors (Human Resources IT system), allowing
greater data integrity and tracking moving forward.
We continue to encourage the internal advertising of
seniorpositions, giving all our people equal opportunity
tocommunicate their ambitions and capabilities.
Throughout 2025, we continued to build diversity and
inclusion awareness through our Festival of Learning,
events and worldwide celebrations, including International
Women’s Day, World Day for Cultural Diversity and
International Day of the Seafarer.
We continued our diversity and inclusion focused
partnership with external parties:
• POWERful Women, a professional initiative to create a
gender-balanced, diverse and inclusive UK energy sector
• WISTA International, a networking organisation
whosemission is to attract and support women, at
themanagement level, in the maritime, trading and
logistics sectors
• UK Armed Forces Covenant, which supports service
leavers’ transition from military life to civilian employment
in a way that recognises their compatible and
transferable skills to Subsea7.
Targets related to managing material impacts,
advancing positive impacts, as well as to risks
and opportunities (ESRS S1-5)
Metrics and targets (D&I)
The Board’s objective is to have at least 33% female
representation on the Board.
Subsea7’s objective is for onshore leadership, as defined
bythe Group’s job architecture structure, to be 25% female
by 2030.
Characteristics of the undertaking’s employees
(ESRS S1-6)
Subsea7’s reporting is based on headcount as at
31 December 2025; it is based on the actual number
ofemployees and non-employees and is not adjusted to
afull-time equivalent basis, two part-time roles are reported
as two individuals. Reference note 6 of financial statements
(Net operating income – employee benefits).
Headcount dropped in 2025 from 15,072 to 13,821. This
wasmostly driven by a reduction in Angola and in Singapore
based on the change in projects portfolio. Fluctuations were
seen across other countries in line with operational demands.
To support this, we have established an Equal Opportunities
& Diversity Policy where accountability of its implementation
lies with the Group’s Executive Vice President of Human
Resources (EVP HR).
This policy aims to promote:
• Inclusion, equality of opportunity and fairness of
treatment for all
• A workplace where people are treated with dignity
andrespect
• Active opposition to all forms of prejudice, discrimination
and harassment.
Valuing and promoting diversity is one of the core principles
of Subsea7’s Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy,
which applies to all in the workforce.
This principle is supported by the Subsea7’s Global Bullying
and Harassment Policy, which outlines indicative behaviour
that would constitute harassment or bullying and remedies
to address such behaviour. This policy applies globally with
accountability for this policy being with the Group’s EVP HR.
The Group has established a Board Diversity Policy, the
purpose of which is to ensure that the Board of Directors
ofSubsea7 has an inclusive and diverse membership and,
as a whole, the Board has the skills, expertise and
experience to guide the business and strategy of the
Groupfor the benefit of its shareholders, having regard
tothe interests of all its stakeholders. The Board Diversity
Policy is only applicable to the Board but sits alongside
Subsea7’s Code of Conduct and associated global policies,
which set out Subsea7’s broader commitment to diversity
and inclusion.
Processes for engaging with own workers and
workers’ representatives about impacts
(ESRSS1-2)
Please refer to section ‘Processes for engaging with own
workers and workers’ representatives about impacts (ESRS
S1-2)’ on page 99.
Actions related to Diversity and inclusion (S1-4)
Subsea7’s leadership focus on diversity and inclusion
continues with strong engagement. The Executive
Management Team meets several times a year to set the
annual focus areas and review status to keep the agenda
on track. Regional VPs, the Group’s SVP Project & Offshore
Operations and HR Directors meet twice a year as a group
to discuss the direction and share learnings on how they
are translating the ambitions into actions.
In 2025, we exceeded our Board Diversity Policy objective
to have at least 33% female representation on the Board,
by appointing Lucia de Andrade as an Independent Director,
resulting in 43% female representation.
In order to promote positive behaviours in the workplace,
atraining programme 7Ally-Upstander continued enabling
our people to understand how they can address
inappropriate workplace behaviours as a bystander.
7Ally-Upstander supported an increase in employees
feeling confident or very confident as upstanders.
In 2025, the Group secured an exclusive partnership
withTurtle which is a maritime matchmaking technology
platform. Turtle connects maritime companies with
registered seafarers. Through our partnership we have
worked with Turtle to create social media content to
connect candidates to us. This partnership alongside
ourexisting efforts to attract and hire women to join

Talent attraction, development and retention
approach and policies (S1-1)
Being7 is our employer brand and the backbone of our
culture. It’s what we offer our people, it’s what our people
bring to Subsea7 and it’s what it feels like to be part of the
team. At Subsea7 we offer a career people can be proud of,
an incredible journey and an environment where they can
thrive. The voice of our existing employees is used to tell
their Being7 story to attract new talents to Subsea7.
Subsea7 has a well-established range of learning and
development tools and programmes to help our people
grow their knowledge and abilities in different areas
ofthebusiness, including business and functional skills
frameworks, development programmes, and a variety of
learning content, designed to promote inclusive and equal
learning opportunities amongst our employees.
Subsea7’s onshore employees and offshore management
teams have an annual performance and development
discussion. This is held with their line manager to ensure
they have a clear understanding of the organisational
expectations of them as well as to ensure their
development and wellbeing needs are understood.
Foroffshore crews, excluding offshore management
teams,permanent and day-rate people complete an
annualappraisal that addresses their development, this
isdocumented in the Group’s offshore learning system.
Subsea7 has a robust wellbeing framework consisting of
Mind, Body, Connect and Thrive. Our teams have embraced
the importance of wellbeing across the Group and continue
to bring it to life through various activities including workshops,
training, questionnaires, conversations, group sessions and
sessions dedicated to key wellbeing topics.
Processes for engaging with own workers and
workers’ representatives about impacts

Please refer to section ‘Processes for engaging with own
workers and workers representatives about impacts (ESRS

Actions related to talent attraction, development
and retention (S1-4)
Being7 is supported through learning and development,
diversity and inclusion, and wellbeing strategies, including
aregular survey that enables us to track the impact of our
initiatives and actions and understand where we need
tofocus our efforts to continually improve Subsea7. As a
lagging indicator, employee turnover is analysed to understand
if there are trends and patterns that need to beaddressed.
Subsea7’s focus in investing in learning and development
in2025 continued with our global suite of development
packages. Delegates are nominated to each of programmes
from across the Group, those include Commercial Awareness,
Early High Potential Talent (Rise), Core Career Skills
(Elevate), Project Manager Diploma, Project Success
Programme, Global Graduate Programme, Management
Development Programme (onshore and offshore), Leading
Safety Programme, offshore conversion programmes and
our Offshore Cadet Programme.
At a local level, both onshore (office-based) and offshore
(worksites or vessel-based), our investment in learning and
development for individuals continued. During the first
quarter of each year, Subsea7 reinforces our learning and
development commitment and culture through individual
discussions on development and career aspirations as part
of the annual performance discussions.
In 2025, the Group launched the Career Profile tool in
SuccessFactors (Human Resources IT system). Through
completing the career profile, future career goals and
mobility preferences can be captured, along with details
ofachievements to date, skills, education, certifications
andlanguage proficiency. The information provided enables
richer conversations with managers around career and
development objectives during the Performance and
Development Review (or PDR) process and allows Subsea7
to better understand our people and their aspirations.
Subsea7 continues to encourage a culture of learning
through an annual Festival of Learning, which spanned
themonth of October 2025, with the theme was ‘Embrace
Agility’. We had record-breaking attendance of over 11,000
of our onshore and offshore people taking part in more than
70 sessions.
All employees have access to a confidential Employee
Assistance Programme (EAP) that provides support for
coping with life’s challenges including health and wellbeing,
financial problems, stress or anxiety and family issues. On
World Mental Health Day, Subsea7 had an external speaker,
Luke Ambler, talk about “Mental Resilience: Thriving through
Challenges”. Following the event, a wellbeing tip sheet was
published with reminders of the EAP service available.
The Group celebrates Being7 culture through nominating
colleagues, who inspired them, to Being7 Stars. Over 3,000
of our people received nominations. Those nominated were
advised in early December 2025, with an employee-driven
social media campaign celebrating their personal success.

The key characteristics of non-employee workers are those
that do not have a permanent contract of employment with
the Group and have a date on which their services will
terminate. These include contractors and agency workers.
The majority of Subsea7’s non-employees are offshore
workers who work on a non-guaranteed days basis or
viathird parties.
Collective bargaining coverage and social
dialogue (ESRS S1-8)
Collective bargaining
As stated in the Group’s Human Rights Policy, Subsea7
supports open and constructive dialogue with its employees
and, if applicable, their representatives. Our employees are
free to join organisations of their choosing that represent
them, in accordance with local laws.
A number of employees are covered by collective
agreements both through trade unions and works councils.
The extent of these agreements is dependent on country
and local agreements and can vary in detail from inclusion
of terms and conditions of employment through to the wider
employment environment.
The social relations with employees is managed at local
country level and, as such, Subsea7 does not hold data
onwho is covered by these agreements at the Group level.

STRATEGIC REPORT
ESRS S2 – Workers in the value chain
General disclosures
Interests and views of stakeholders
(ESRS2SBM-2)
Subsea7’s commitment to ethical business practices and
respect for human rights is integral to its global operations.
The Group recognises the necessity of a strategy and
business model that address the impacts of operations on
our people and those working for Subsea7. Respecting
human rights and managing the human rights impacts of
operations are fundamental to how business is conducted,
and it’s guided by Subsea7’s Values. Requiring fair and
lawful employment practices and a work environment in
which no one is abused or exploited by Subsea7 or any
person we work with, makes us a stronger and more reliable
group capable of attracting and retaining talented people;
and with which our clients and suppliers want to partner,
around the world.
Given the nature of the Group’s business, Subsea7 operates
in many jurisdictions. Subsea7’s strategy and business
model prioritise the safety and human rights of people,
including Value Chain Workers (VCWs), ensuring compliance
with the law and being guided by industry best practices.
Maintaining relationships with multiple suppliers across
different jurisdictions for key materials or services is
essential to Subsea7’s strategy, given the global footprint
and the goal of mitigating the dependency risk of having
alimited number of suppliers. Several of our key suppliers
operate globally. In the event that certain VCWs were not
available in specific countries or locations, Subsea7
wouldwork with an alternative supplier based elsewhere.
However, in a global scenario affecting all VCWs, such asthe
COVID-19 pandemic, Subsea7 would be impacted bythe
major disruption to production and distribution worldwide.
Currently, engagement with materially affected VCWs does
not feature as a separate step in Subsea7’s strategy and
business model review cycle. While the engagement may
not be directly with VCWs, their legitimate representatives
(trade unions or works councils) or credible proxies,
Subsea7 is informed of the potential impacts on these
workers through the Group’s processes to identify and
address human rights risks which are further described
insection ‘Policies related to value chain workers (S2-1)’
below on this page and section ‘Processes for engaging
with value chain workers about impacts (S2-2)’ on page 110.
In addition, material impacts on VCWs were considered
aspart of the double materiality assessment (DMA).
Themateriality of supply chain-related impacts and the
associated risks were assessed. During this evaluation,
selected key suppliers were engaged through interviews
tounderstand our impacts on them and determine the
relative importance of various sustainability-related topics
to them. In the Sustainability Statements, we have included
the impacts and risks deemed significant, along with the
mitigating actions. The types of VCWs who could be
materially impacted are typically vulnerable migrant
orlow-skilled workers, whether they are on a supplier’s
worksite or working on Subsea7 sites or vessels. These
VCWs can be particularly at risk when provided by third-
party labour agencies as the supplier may not have a full
view of the employment terms and conditions. For more
information on the DMA, see disclosures in section
‘Materiality assessment (ESRS 2 IRO-1)’ on page 79.
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and
their interaction with strategy and business
model(s) (ESRS 2 SBM-3)
Subsea7 operates in all major offshore energy regions,
andthe supply chain, which comprises over 8,000 direct
suppliers globally (number excludes Sonamet), represents
asignificant proportion of the work performed. On some
larger projects, procurement can represent over half of the
entire project’s value.
Table 3-12 summarises the material impacts, risks and
opportunities concerning VCWs within Subsea7’s value
chain, identified through the DMA.
Subsea7 describes how its material IROs interact with
itsstrategy on page 78. Embedded within supply chain
processes is a risk assessment matrix for identifying
suppliers potentially posing higher human rights risks,
asfurther discussed in section ‘Labour practices and
human rights’ on page 97. This matrix evaluates both the
country risk and the risks associated with the types of
materials or services provided.
Subsea7 executes projects worldwide and assesses each
country for human rights risks, especially when working in
anew high-risk country. Recognising that our VCWs may
face heightened risks in these areas, Subsea7 is vigilant
inmitigating potential negative impacts, which are further
discussed on page 111. The risk assessments conducted
have identified upstream VCWs, particularly those likely to
be vulnerable migrant workers, as being more susceptible
to the negative impacts identified in Table 3-12: specifically,
low-skilled workers from a medium- or high-risk country
working in another country in which they are not permanently
resident or working offshore. These VCWs arethe people
most likely to experience significant human rights and
labour practices impacts, specifically child labour, slavery
and trafficking, and other forms of forced or involuntary
labour, and who could be particularly vulnerable. Some
examples of suppliers that might engage vulnerable migrant
workers are fabrication, shipyard and base-operator suppliers.
For information on how identified risks and potential
impacts are addressed and mitigated related to health and
safety of workers in the value chain, refer to section ‘Health
and safety’ on pages 101 to 103.
Some of the additional key supply chain focus areas are:
• Continuing to enhance and embed supplier risk
assessment procedures
• Improving the use of digital tools and platforms to
improve efficiency and decision-making
• Continuing to raise awareness of our human rights
commitments within the Group
• Preparing for emerging legislation
• Collaborating with our strategic suppliers on their supply
chain risks
• Continuing to develop measures to obtain assurance
regarding the management of human rights risks in the
supply chain
• Impacts, risks and opportunities management.
Policies related to value chain workers
(ESRSS2-1)
Further to the section ‘Interests and views of stakeholders
(SBM-2)’ on page 77, to meet the Group’s commitments
tohuman rights, Subsea7 designed and implemented the
Group’s Human Rights Programme, which is described in
the Sustainability Statement ‘ESRS S1 Own Workforce’

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
onpage 98 and applies to our own workforce as well as
toour supply chain, to the extent described in this section.
That programme includes a Human Rights Policy Statement
and Code of Conduct.
The following sections provide summary information on
relevant policies and procedures for managing human rights
risks in the supply chain over and above what is covered
inthe Sustainability Statement ‘ESRS S1 Own Workforce’
onpage 98 and section ‘Processes to remediate negative
impacts and channels for value chain workers to raise
concerns (S2-3) on page 111 (which details Subsea7’s
general approach in relation to processes applied to
remediate negative impacts).
Code of Conduct for Suppliers
Subsea7 is committed to working with suppliers and
partners whose human rights standards are consistent
withits own. The Group requires all suppliers to commit to
the Code of Conduct for Suppliers, which sets out the key
principles of ethical conduct that suppliers are required
touphold when working with Subsea7. It also requires
suppliers to uphold the same standards when dealing
withtheir workforce and subcontractors.
Subsea7 refreshed its Code of Conduct for Suppliers
in2025, in particular adding guidelines to support
suppliersinimplementing it within their own businesses.
Theguidelines include clear expectations, encourage
suppliers to adopt certain practices, and advise of
potentialreporting requirements.
The Code of Conduct for Suppliers states that Subsea7
strives to protect the dignity of all individuals working in,
orimpacted by, the Group’s operations, including people
who work for suppliers of materials or services to
Subsea7. This includes a commitment to help prevent
modern slavery, human trafficking and other forms of
forced or involuntary labour.
The Group’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers is incorporated
into the standard terms and conditions for suppliers and
includes mutual commitments to:
• Ethical business conduct, including regarding anti-corruption
• Health, safety and security
• Human rights and fair and lawful employment practices
across Subsea7 and throughout its supply chain
• As a minimum, comply with national legal requirements
regarding wages and working hours
• Support the International Labour Organisation’s (or ILO)
Standards regarding child labour and minimum age
• Prevent modern slavery and human trafficking anywhere
in Subsea7’s business or supply chain
• Uphold the same standards when dealing with employees,
non-employees and VCWs
• Protect the environment
• Protect personal data and mitigate against
cybersecurityincidents.
In 2025, one case of suppliers’ non-compliance with the
human rights principles set out in the Group’s Code of
Conduct for Suppliers was identified.
Processes for engaging with value chain
workers about impacts (ESRS S2-2)
Further to section ‘Interests and views of stakeholders’
(SBM-2) on page 77, Subsea7’s supplier risk assessment
procedures include a requirement for suppliers considered
high risk to undergo human rights screening, and we strive
to perform such screening whenever required. Engagement
takes place with medium- and high-risk suppliers through
human rights questionnaires that assess potentially high
human rights impacts, focusing primarily on child labour,
modern slavery, human trafficking and other forms of forced
or involuntary labour. This engagement does not usually
orsystematically extend directly to suppliers’ workers.
The Code of Conduct for Suppliers also encourages
suppliers to raise concerns if they become aware of any
breaches of the standards outlined therein. If they are
uncomfortable reporting directly to Subsea7, an externally
administered confidential reporting line, Safecall, is available
to suppliers and their personnel on worksites. Further
details on channels to raise concerns are described in
section ‘Whistleblowing channels and culture’ on page 120.
Additionally, suppliers are engaged through audits. These
audits are typically carried out at a project level and may be
led by a client, Subsea7 or a third party, depending on the
risk, scope and location.
Suppliers are invited to attend annual Supplier Integrity
events, held both virtually and in-person at Subsea7 office
locations. During these events, human rights is featured
prominently. This is to raise awareness of the sector-wide
risks and collaborate with suppliers to develop common
strategies for managing risks. In 2025, a total of nine
Supplier Integrity events were held, attended by 1205
individuals from around 700 suppliers, a significant
increasefrom 2024 as a result of more regions/business
units holding events. These figures exclude Xodus and
Sonamet. Topics linked to human rights and labour
practices discussed at these events included a video
madeby Subsea7’s Chief Compliance & Ethics Officer
(CECO) and Vice-President of Supply Chain Management
&Products detailing the changes to the Code of Conduct
for Suppliers, the new Implementation Guidelines, the
Group’s human rights risk-tiering matrix, as well as the
Global Human Rights Procedure. Speakers included
humanrights subject matter experts from Subsea7,
suppliers and partners.

Processes to remediate negative impacts and

concerns (ESRS S2-3)
Processes to remediate negative impacts
The Group’s Global Human Rights Procedure sets out
Subsea7’s general approach to remedying negative impacts
caused or contributed to by Subsea7 or its suppliers, on
people outside the Group, including VCWs. The aim is to
rectify any harm caused, with the goal to restore affected
individuals to the situation they would have been in had the
harm not occurred, or as close to that as possible. The
response or remedy provided by Subsea7 would depend on
Subsea7’s level of responsibility for the impact. Actions will
depend on the specific circumstances and would be adapted
with the aim of ensuring that the remedy is effective.
When determining Subsea7’s role in a negative impact,
thefollowing factors are considered:
• Did a decision or action made by Subsea7 alone lead
to the impact?
• Has Subsea7 done anything to incentivise or motivate
another party to cause the impact?
• Has Subsea7 done anything to facilitate or enable
the impact to occur?
• What steps has Subsea7 undertaken to try to prevent
the impact from occurring or to mitigate the impact?
The Global Human Rights Procedure, as well as the impact
assessment, applies to all Subsea7’s operations on a global
basis. Therefore, whether Subsea7 is entering new countries,
if new risks are identified or specific groups of VCWs have
been identified who might be at higher risk (e.g. migrant
workers, workers in high-risk countries), the Global Human
Rights Procedure would apply consistently, as far as
possible, for each group.
Channels available for value chain workers to
raise concerns
As disclosed in section ‘Policies related to own workforce’
(S1-1) onpage 98, all individuals working on the majority of
Subsea7’s sites or vessels, have access to channels for
raising, and are encouraged to raise, concerns about any
negative impacts of Subsea7’s business or operations, or
behaviour that is inconsistent with the Code of Conduct or
the Code of Conduct for Suppliers. They can do so via the
externally administered confidential reporting line (Safecall)
or by reporting directly to Subsea7. The local telephone
lines for Safecall are manned 24 hours a day, seven days
aweek, and the numbers are listed in the Group’s Code of
Conduct for Suppliers (as well as at Subsea7 sites), allowing
suppliers and their workers on Subsea7 sites to report
confidentially about actual or potential impacts on them,
intheir own language and (if they so choose, and where
local laws permit) in an anonymous way. Safecall can also
be accessed via an internet portal, as an alternative to the
telephone line. Additional information about the Group’s
Speak Up Policy and Safecall is detailed in section
‘Whistleblowing channels and culture’ on page 120.

During 2025, one report of a violation of human rights
bysuppliers was raised via the Speak Up channel or
identified through the Group’s risk assessment and
duediligence process.
Taking action on material impacts on value chain
workers, and approaches to mitigating material
risks and pursuing material opportunities related
to value chain workers, and effectiveness of
those actions (ESRS S2-4)
Further to section ‘Processes to remediate negative
impacts and channels for value chain workers to raise
concerns (S2-3)’ on page 111, following the completion of
the DMA, three potential negative impacts and two risks
within our value chain were identified, of which two of the
impacts and one risk are related to human rights. The
subsequent sections outline the actions and measure
implemented to prevent, mitigate or remediate these human
rights risks and their impacts on VCWs. In addition to the
Speak Up channels described in section ‘Processes to
remediate negative impacts and channels for value chain
workers to raise concerns (S2-3)’ on page 111, these actions
and measures include:
• Conducting a pre-qualification risk assessment process,
including screening and due diligence
• Establishing and enforcing supplier contractual terms
andconditions
• Performing investigations, remediation and enforcement
actions, when breaches are reported or detected
• Implementing monitoring, auditing and
assuranceprocedures
• Training relevant personnel to identify and manage
human rights risks
• Allocating resources to effectively manage human
rightsrisks
• Participating in industry and multi-stakeholder initiatives.
Actions and measures implemented to address health and
safety related risks and impacts are described in the ‘Health
and safety’ section on pages 101 to 103.
Conduct a pre-qualification process, screening
and due diligence
In accordance with the Group’s Supply Chain Management
Process for Procurement, all suppliers are required to
undergo registration with additional qualification depending
on the product or service provided, such qualification to be
performed before contracting with a supplier.
To identify and address any potential human rights risks in
the supply chain, a human rights risk assessment and due
diligence process for all high-risk suppliers (refer to
‘Glossary’ section on page 229 for the description of the
term) has been developed. This includes a human rights
questionnaire and a risk-scoring mechanism. During the
evolution and maturity of the Human Rights Programme
Subsea7 has continued to invest in systems and engaged
independent experts to improve and refine these processes.
• Since 2019, human rights questions have been
includedinSubsea7’s due diligence questionnaire
forhigh-risk suppliers
• In 2020, the Exiger Insight 3PM™ platform was
implemented to provide third-party compliance risk
assessments including due diligence screening of
medium- and high-risk suppliers and other third parties.
Itperforms or enables business ethics and human rights
risk assessment and due diligence screening, automated
due diligence questionnaires and approval workflows.
• External, responsible sourcing risk indices have been
used to deliver improved human rights risk-tiering of
suppliers and countries. In addition, Subsea7 engaged
with GoodCorporation
TM
, an external, independent,
expertfirm to conduct baseline risk mapping of supplier
categories that could pose a higher human rights risk.
• In 2022, an enhanced human rights risk-tiering matrix
wasintroduced that was deployed worldwide:
• The risk matrix takes into account the country risk and
whether the type of products or services supplied falls
into a category that are deemed potentially higher risk
• An enhanced human rights assessment and due
diligence questionnaire for high-risk suppliers was
developed, which sharpened the focus on the human
rights risks that could have the most significant impact
and included prescribed remedial actions, depending
on suppliers’ responses and the resulting risk scores
• There is also a short-form risk assessment
questionnaire for suppliers provisionally deemed
lowerrisk to confirm whether they should be treated
ashigher risk
• Both questionnaires contain questions relating to the
higher-risk areas of child labour, slavery and trafficking,
other forms of forced or involuntary labour, involving
underage and low-skilled migrant workers. The key risk
factor identified, both for Subsea7’s own workforce and
for VCWs, is vulnerable migrant workers i.e. low-skilled
workers from a medium- or high-risk country working in
another country in which they are not permanently
resident or are working offshore
• Where the enhanced human rights due diligence
questionnaire is required, then depending on the
resulting scores, the use of the supplier is: (i) prohibited;
or (ii) prohibited until a remedial action plan is put in
place to bring the supplier’s score above a certain
threshold; or (iii) permitted but with a remedial plan
toimprove the supplier’s score; or (iv) permitted
withoutany further action by the supplier
• The relevant questionnaire is refreshed at three-yearly
intervals or more frequently, depending on whether any
relevant risks have materially increased or any new
concerns have been raised
• All medium- and high-risk suppliers are continuously
monitored via the Exiger screening tool.

SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS
STRATEGIC REPORT
• In 2023, a supplier human rights risk assessment register
and dashboard was developed and launched to help
regional management monitor progress in risk assessing
suppliers, as well as to monitor the closing out of any
remedial or improvement plan actions undertaken by
suppliers. These tools assist in providing more granular
data regarding higher-risk suppliers, which helps
continuous improvement of risk management procedures
• In 2025, a Responsible Supply Chain (RSC) application
was developed to assist supply chain management teams
to easily identify when screening is required and which
questionnaires to use. This application also pulls through
real-time screening information from the systems it links
with, giving users relevant, up-to-date context.
The number of suppliers assessed from a human rights
perspective reduced slightly in 2025 from 1,584 to 1,419,
probably as a result of reducing the use of medium- or
high-risk suppliers. However, increased internal targets
forcompleting risk assessments of high-risk suppliers
andalso the inclusion of Xodus supplier numbers (but not
Sonamet’s), has resulted in a positive increase in high-risk
suppliers assessed, from 112 to 181. Two suppliers were
prohibited from use as a result of Subsea7’s human rights
risk assessment and due diligence process. In addition,
theprocess to require certain suppliers to provide additional
assurance by way of a human rights certification was
updated. These suppliers include labour agencies and other
suppliers that are likely to utilise vulnerable migrant workers
from high- or medium-risk countries.
Subsea7 continues to work with high-risk suppliers to
complete advanced human rights self-assessments. These
are suppliers based in a medium-high- or high-risk country
(please refer to ‘Glossary’ section on page 229 for the
description of the term) with respect to human rights that
supply a medium or medium-high-risk category of materials
or services, such as fabrication.
Subsea7 has also continued to involve the Group’s
internalaudit function to provide assurance about effective
implementation of our processes at a Group and regional level.
Establishing and enforcing supplier contractual
terms and conditions.
When engaging with suppliers, typically through a competitive
tender process Subsea7 emphasises its zero tolerance for
the most egregious human rights risks, namely: child labour,
modern slavery and trafficking and other forms of forced
orinvoluntary labour. These standards are outlined in the
Group’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers and are incorporated
into the standard contract terms and conditions with
suppliers. A breach of these human rights commitments
isconsidered a material breach of contract, granting
Subsea7 the right to terminate the contract for default.
During 2025, no supplier contracts were terminated due
tobreaches of human rights commitments.
Additionally, high-risk suppliers may be subject to periodic
audits, monitoring or other assurance measures based on
arisk-based assessment. Subsea7’s terms and conditions
for all suppliers include a right of audit, with two such audits
conducted during 2025.
Carrying out investigations, remediation and
enforcement actions
All allegations or suspicions reported or detected via
Safecall or internal channels are reported to the CECO,
who records them on a case management system and
oversees their investigation in accordance with the Group’s
Investigations Principles and Procedures. This includes
human rights breaches in the value chain.
Should any investigation confirm that human rights
breaches have been committed at, or by a supplier, action
plans to address the issue and protect the victims would
beimplemented. This could include requiring the supplier
toaddress the issue by remedying the harm done to the
individual(s) in question and to rectify any associated
weaknesses or gaps in its Human Rights Programme,
andrefusing to work with that supplier, until it had
compliedwith these requirements. If appropriate
andpracticable, theincident would be reported to
relevantauthorities.
As noted in section ‘Policies related to value chain workers
(S2-1)’ on page 109, during 2025, there was one report
linked to human rights issues with suppliers or concerns
raised by VCWs.
Implementing monitoring, auditing and
assurance procedures
Subsea7 monitors, audits and continually reviews its
HumanRights Programme to ensure it remains current and
effectively implemented and is continually improved, in line
with current and emerging stakeholder expectations and
regulatory requirements.
Speak Up reports and other cases of potential human
rightsbreaches are tracked, as well as potential or actual
weaknesses or failures in the Human Rights Programme.
For more information on the Human Rights Programme
refer to section ‘Actions relating to labour practices and
human rights (S1-4)’ on page 100 and section ‘Speak Up
inCorporate culture and business conduct policies (G1-1)’
on page 116.
As the Programme matures, it continues to be incorporated
into the scope of Subsea7’s internal audit function. The aim
is to develop efficient, risk-based, cost-effective methods
toobtain greater assurance from high-risk suppliers that
they have implemented the prescribed procedures to
manage the potential human rights risks identified.
Thesemethods could include monitoring, certifications,
andvirtualand in-person audits, as well as evidence that
thesupplier hasbeen audited by a credible, independent
assurance provider.
Training on human rights

SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
Allocating resources to effectively manage
human rights issues
Across the Group, there are approximately 600 employees
within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) function
(excluding Sonamet). Each employee has roles and
responsibilities across the different stages of the supplier
management lifecycle, which include pre-qualification,
sourcing, pre-award evaluation and commitment approval,
award and post-award management stages. As described
on pages 112 to 113, during the pre-qualification process,
suppliers from medium- or high-risk countries undergo
ascreening and due diligence process. Of those 600
employees, around 30 are actively involved in the supplier
screening and due diligence process. Subsea7 took a
morecentralised approach to supplier screening in 2025,
reducing the number involved from around 60 in 2024.
However, human rights risks continue to be actively
managed throughout the entire supplier management
lifecycle, and it is challenging to accurately allocate the
percentage of time each person spends on managing the
material human rights impacts on VCWs, especially after
the suppliers have been qualified. There is a human
rightsnetwork within the supply chain management
(SCM)function consisting of representatives from the
different regions and business units, chaired by the SCM
Director of Governance and Sustainability or a delegate.
The purpose of the network is to share lessons learned
andbest practices in terms of how human rights risks
andissues within the Group’s supply chain are managed.
Human Rights is a management accountability, but Human
Resources (HR) and SCM are two functions with key roles
to play. The CECO has overall responsibility for the design
of the Group’s Human Rights Programme, supported by
asenior, specialist human rights manager, and functional
directors are responsible for implementation of relevant
policies applicable to their function. It is difficult to estimate
how much time each person dedicates specifically to
managing the material impacts on VCWs.
In addition, Subsea7 has a network of Human Rights
Champions, further information on which can be found
in‘Actions relating to labour practices and human rights’
section on page 100.
Participating in industry and
multi-stakeholder initiatives
Subsea7 is proud to be a signatory to the UN Global
Compact and a Board Member of Building Responsibly,
aglobal business-led coalition committed to promoting
therights and welfare of workers in the energy and
construction sectors. More details can be found in section
‘Subsea7’s Human Rights Programme’ on page 98.
Metrics and targets
Targets related to managing material negative
impacts, advancing positive impacts and
managing material risks and opportunities
(ESRS S2-5)
Subsea7 recognises the importance of setting time-bound
and outcome-oriented targets. However, specific targets
have not yet been established for reducing negative
impacts, advancing positive impacts or managing material
risks and opportunities associated with VCWs. The Group’s
value chain spans multiple regions and sectors, each with
unique challenges and opportunities. Establishing uniform
targets that are meaningful and practically achievable
across this diverse landscape requires careful consideration
and extensive stakeholder engagement.
Although there are no specific targets relating to VCWs,
internal metrics and targets have been set to manage
human rights risks within the upstream value chain:
• Metric
1
– the percentage of suppliers with a contract that
includes human rights clauses
• Target
1
– Target of 90% by the end of 2025 was
achieved. The actual was 90% for Subsea7 and Xodus.
Target of 65% by the end of 2024 was achieved.
Theactual was 72% for Subsea7 (excluding Xodus)
1. These metrics and targets were not applicable to Sonamet.

(ESRS 2 IRO-1)
Process for identifying and assessing material
impacts, risks and opportunities
Following the completion of the double materiality
assessment (DMA), as described in the section ‘Materiality
assessment (ESRS 2 IRO-1)’ on pages 79 to 80, the material
IROs relating to business conduct were identified. Table 4-1
summarises the material impacts and risks that relate to
business conduct, identified following the DMA process.
Subsea7 describes how its material Impacts Risks and
Opportunities (or IROs) interact with its strategy in
section‘Material IROs and interaction with business
model’on page 78.
Material topics were mapped to the relevant European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (or ESRS) to establish
Subsea7’s reporting obligations under the European Union
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (or EU CSRD).
The material topic of business ethics (which also incorporates
the topics of anti-bribery and anti-corruption) was mapped
to the Sustainability Statement ‘ESRS G1 – Business
conduct’. The CECO supports identification and validation
of identified business conduct-related Impacts Risks and
Opportunities (or IROs) for accuracy and completeness.
In the context of business conduct, Subsea7’s Anti-Bribery
Anti-Corruption (ABAC) Programme is designed and
implemented on the basis of a group-wide corruption risk
assessment. This looks at the inherent risks associated
withthe sector and business model, and the geographies
inwhich Subsea7 operates. Risk assessment is also
embedded in the Group’s supply chain management
procedures, as well as in the procedures for selecting and
appointing business partners and managing other third
parties. This process is described in detail in section
‘TheCode of Conduct and Clear Policies’ on page 118.
HowSubsea7 manages risks and the roles and responsibilities
involved in the risk management process is described in the
‘Principal Risks and Uncertainties’ and ‘Governance’
sections on pages 30 to 47 and 48 to 64, respectively.
Subsidiaries in the Group follow the principles of the
ABACProgramme. The specific programmes used can
differ based on business risk profile, for example Xodus
and4Subsea, autonomous subsidiaries of the Group, have
much lower-risk business models and geographical spread,
as well as much smaller, lower-risk supply chains.
The non-wholly-owned subsidiary, Sonamet does face
potentially significant business ethics risks. Sonamet has
itsown Code of Conduct, Speak Up Policy and reporting
line, and its own system of financial controls and procurement
procedures that are less developed than Subsea7’s. The
reports submitted through the reporting line are consolidated
in the Group’s data. Targeted members of Sonamet workforce
also complete the annual Subsea7 Business Ethics e-Learning
module. However, its programme is less mature. Sonamet
had no reportable ABAC cases during the reporting period.

Corporate culture and business conduct policies
(ESRS G1-1)
Subsea7’s Business Ethics Programme is designed to
embed the Ethics Policy Statement and Code of Conduct
and to manage compliance risks, including preventing
bribery and other unethical conduct by the Group or in its
value chain. The programme underpinned by the Group’s
Values and the Board’s determination to conduct business
ethically and in a way that is consistent with those Values:
Safety, Integrity, Sustainability, Performance, Collaboration
and Innovation. The elements of the programme are
described in more detail in section ‘Our Business Ethics
Programme’ on pages 117 to 120.
The Ethics Policy Statement sets out the Group’s
commitment to acting honestly, fairly and with integrity at
alltimes, to comply with the law, and to treat people with
respect. By fulfilling this commitment, Subsea7 aims to earn
the trust of clients, employees, business partners, suppliers
and other stakeholders.
The Group conducts business in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations and in an ethically
responsible manner. The Code of Conduct applies to
theGroup’s Own workforce and to the Workers in its
valuechain and sets out the key principles that Subsea7
iscommitted to upholding and that line management are
responsible for communicating and implementing.
The Group’s Ethics Policy and the Code of Conduct are
approved by both the Chief Executive Officer and by the
Board. They are communicated via the group-wide Business
Management System (BMS) as well as via training and
awareness-raising initiatives.
As stated in the Ethics Policy Statement, embedding a
culture of ethics and integrity is central to the Group’s
business ethics strategy. Subsea7 holds a Global Integrity
Day annually, and one of the key themes on that day,
andingroup-wide compliance and ethics training and
communications, are Integrity Moments. The Group uses
Integrity Moments to help people understand what integrity
means to the Group and to encourage and empower people
to use those principles in their work and be guided by them
when making decisions.
Subsea7 has a whistleblowing policy (Speak Up Policy),
which offers various channels for raising concerns about
potentially unethical conduct, and which is extensively
promoted within the Group.

Management of relationships with suppliers
(ESRS G1-2)
During 2025, Subsea7 worked with over 8,000 suppliers
globally, many with an established local presence in the
countries where the Group operates. Subsea7’s supply
chain, from which more than a half of the Group’s cost base
is derived, is an essential part of our strategy to be a strong,
safe and responsible business, both socially and
environmentally. Managing the associated risks within the
supply chain and continually leveraging opportunities to
create long-term value are central to our goal to make
sustainable delivery possible. The Group has built
collaborative, mutually beneficial relationships over years
ofworking together with a number of our key strategic
suppliers, anchored in trust and respect.
In addition to the supplier-related risk assessment and
duediligence processes referenced in section ‘The
CodeofConduct and Clear Policies’ on page 118, our
management of business ethics risks within the supply
chain is underpinned by the Code of Conduct for Suppliers.
Thisdocument sets out the fundamental principles of
ethical behaviour that all suppliers must adhere to when
engaging with Subsea7. The Group’s procedures and
theSupplier Code of Conduct place strong emphasis on
business ethics, anti-bribery and human rights. Subsea7
refreshed its Code of Conduct for Suppliers during 2025,
and details of which can be found in section ‘Policies related
to value chain workers (S2-1)’ on page 109. Moreover,
selection, pre-qualification, approval, appointment and
payment of suppliers are all subject to best practice
procedures designed to avoid conflicts of interest and
manage risks of bribery and fraud. These best practices
include segregation of duties and competitive tenders.
The Supply Chain Management Process for Procurement
sets out how new suppliers are onboarded as approved
suppliers, for which Subsea7 uses the SAP Ariba Supplier
Management module. Based on the supplier location and
type SAP Ariba may generate additional workflows within
the business ethics risk assessment process, which is
completed as part of the approval process.

These audits are generally desk-top audits. On-site audits
may be required if the material or service provided is
particularly critical, or if there are any areas highlighted
asaconcern based on the desk-top assessment.
For key categories of materials or services critical to
Subsea7, a category management network has been set up.
Each specific category management network comprises a
category chairperson, sponsors, as well as HSE and quality
leads. The roles and responsibilities of each category
management network include regular engagement with the
key category suppliers as well as periodic strategic reviews
with Subsea7’s senior management based on regional and
global strategy plans.
Once qualified, suppliers are required to undergo regular
performance reviews upon completion of certain work-
scopes, above a certain value, including on an annual basis
for frame agreement suppliers, or if performance issues are
identified. Suppliers’ status can be set to ‘under scrutiny’,
when there are concerns regarding, among other things,
HSE, quality, compliance, and business ethics or human
rights issues. Agreed measures may be required to be
implemented by the suppliers and progress monitored to
ensure a satisfactory resolution before the ‘under scrutiny’
status can be removed. In severe cases, the supplier may
be disqualified. For key category suppliers, the category
chairperson typically leads the engagement with the
suppliers and they are consulted prior to any status change.
Subsea7 employs different payment terms for small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) and non-SMEs. Refer to
section ‘Payment practices (G1-6)’ on page 121 for details.
The Group’s supply chain management function has
established procedures to identify, assess and manage
supply chain-related risks, including those that may affect
sustainability matters, for more information see section
‘Delivery and operational risks’ on page 43. In addition,
social and environmental considerations are incorporated
into the supplier pre-contract assessment framework.

(ESRS G1-3)
Our Business Ethics Programme
The Subsea7’s ABAC Programme lies at the heart of our
Business Ethics Programme and is designed and implemented
in accordance with international best practice, including:
• The International Anti-Bribery Management System Standard
(ISO 37001-2016), which Subsea7 helped to develop
• The UK Ministry of Justice Bribery Act 2024 guidance on
Adequate Procedures to Prevent Bribery
• US Department of Justice Evaluation of Corporate
Compliance Programs.
The principles and procedures of the Group’s Business
Ethics Programme are outlined in Figure 4-1.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
Between 2016 and 2023, the ABAC programme was
subject to independent assurance by GoodCorporation
TM
,
aleading global ethics consultancy, whose assessments
covered the whole of the Group. In 2024, the Programme
was certified against ISO 37001 by EuroCompliance, an
accredited, independent audit firm specialising in ISO
37001. This certification was maintained through 2025.
By pursuing ISO 37001 certification, Subsea7 aims to
placeitself in a position to encourage many of its suppliers
to obtain certification as well. The objective is to promote
convergence across our sector around a common
standardand a common approach to assurance. In doing
so, Subsea7 seeks to make assurance gathering efforts
morecoherent and efficient across the industry—reducing
duplication, increasing comparability, and lowering overall
costs. The Group will continue to support efforts that help
this initiative gain broader traction, gathering efforts more
coherent and efficient across the industry—reducing
duplication, increasing comparability, and lowering overall
costs. The Group will continue to support efforts that help
this initiative gain broader traction.
Although the programme has traditionally focused on
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption topics, as well as key
compliance areas such as competition and antitrust,
sanctions, export controls, and tax evasion, it also
encompasses a wider business-ethics scope as articulated
in the Group’s Ethics Policy Statement and the Code of
Conduct. The Group is increasingly drawing on components
of this programme (such as risk assessments, due diligence,
training, and supply-chain management processes) to
support further evolution of its programme for managing
human rights risks – refer to section ‘Labour practices and
human rights’ onpage 98.
Additional information on the Group’s Business Ethics
Programme – covering, among other elements, Subsea7’s
ABAC Programme – is presented in the sections below.
Risk assessment and due diligence
The Group’s ABAC Programme is designed and
implemented on the basis of a comprehensive, groupwide
corruption risk assessment. This assessment considers
theinherent risks associated with the industry, operating
model,and the regions where Subsea7 conducts its
business. Functions identified as the most exposed to
corruption risks include those tasked with managing these
risks (e.g., Supply Chain Management, Finance) as well
asthose engaged in higher risk activities (e.g., Business
Development, Sales & Marketing, Project Delivery, and
Operations). Individual country corruption risk assessments
are performed by each region and updated annually. In
addition, the Group’s CECO performs risk assessment
byvisiting regions, as well as meeting with high-risk third
parties. A corruption risk assessment is conducted for
projects in a high-risk countries (including associated third
parties) and on entry into a new high-risk country.
Risk assessments and due diligence are built into the
Group’s supply chain management procedures as described
in section ‘Corporate culture and business conduct policies
(ESRS G1-1)’ on page 116, as well as the procedures for
selecting and appointing business partners and managing
other third parties. The main risk factors are country
corruption risk (using the Transparency International
Corruption Perceptions Index as a baseline), the type of
services provided, whether the supplier or partner will
interact with public officials on behalf of Subsea7 and how
the supplier or partner is remunerated.
The main bribery risks identified are described in the
section ‘Compliance and ethics’ on page 39.
The Code of Conduct and Clear Policies
The Business Ethics Programme is underpinned by the
Ethics Policy Statement and Code of Conduct. Both
documents are part of the Group’s Business Management
System (BMS), compliance with which is mandatory,
andthey are regularly reviewed and updated. They are
communicated to personnel via the annual Compliance and
Ethics e-learning, various compliance and ethics bulletins,
the intranet, Integrity Moments and the Global Integrity Day.
In addition, the ABAC Programme includes the following
policies and procedures not mentioned elsewhere in this
summary, which all form part of the Group’s BMS:
• Facilitation Payments Policy
• Policy on Gifts and Hospitality
• Gifts and Hospitality Register
• Conflicts of Interest Register.
The Group’s ABAC Policy builds on the principles set out in
the Code of Conduct to provide additional guidance on the
above topics, as well as on the following activities, which
may be legitimate when properly conducted, but which can
implicate bribery or corruption risks, which the policy aims
to highlight and assist personnel to avoid and manage:
• Community engagement, charitable donations
and political contributions
• Dealings and links with public officials and clients
• Dealings with business partners
• Lobbying
• Commercial sponsorships.
Communication, education and training
The Group provides compliance and ethics training to
allrelevant personnel to ensure that the Code of Conduct
andthe ABAC Programme are fully understood and
properly applied and that all personnel understand
andhelpto uphold the Group’s commitment to doing
business ethically and with integrity. The training content
isbased onreal-life cases where possible and relevant.
Thecontents, target audience and scope of the training
areapproved by the Ethics Committee, and completion
rates are included inthe reports to the committees referred
toinsection ‘Monitoring, auditing and assurance’ on page
120. The training is delivered by interactive e-learning.
Thetraining is overseen by the Group’s CECO,
whoalsoensures that such training is reviewed
andrefreshed annually.
ABAC Training
Although at-risk functions have been identified, the training
is mandatory for all onshore (office-based) roles and
offshore (worksites or vessel-based) individuals in at-risk
roles. This includes all managers and any functions
considered at-risk from an ABAC perspective. The training
is also provided to external directors of companies within
the Group, including the Board of Directors of Subsea 7 S.A.
Details of ABAC training provided in 2025 are shown in

SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
Whistleblowing channels and culture
The Speak Up Policy (which may also be referred toasa
whistleblowing policy) is intended to supplement and help
underpin the Code of Conduct. The Policy offers various
channels for raising concerns, including an externally
administered and monitored confidential reporting line
(Safecall), which are promoted within Subsea7 and the
supply chain. Everyone who works for Subsea7 is
encouraged to utilise one of these reporting channels if
they become aware of a possible breach of the Code of
Conduct or have concerns in respect of unethical conduct.
Anonymous allegations are also possible, where local law
permits, and facilitated. Suppliers, business partners, and
other third parties and stakeholders are also encouraged
toSpeak Up, if they do not believe the Group is upholding
its Code of Conduct.
The policy includes protection for whistleblowers who raise
concerns in good faith, or on the basis of a reasonable
belief, and a commitment in principle to investigate all
concerns, if there is sufficient information available to
design a just and fair investigation that has a reasonable
chance of success. Subsea7’s Investigations Procedure is
part of the Group ISO 37001-certified ABAC Programme.
The Speak Up policy and confidential reporting line are
usually included in the annual Business Ethics e-Learning
and Global Integrity Day communications. Individuals who
may be involved in investigating alleged breaches of the
Code of Conduct receive appropriate training (which includes
the Group Compliance and Ethics Investigations Procedure).
Procedures and controls
All wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Group have adopted
and implemented the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics
Programme, as part of the group wide BMS, which includes
a system of financial and other internal controls consistent
with a well-managed, publicly listed Group. This includes
financial controls, delegation and control of authority
viaanauthority level matrix, supply chain management
procedures, and the application of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The supply chain management procedures include, in
addition to the information in section ‘Corporate culture
andbusiness conduct policies (ESRS G1-1)’ on page 116:
• Due diligence screening for suppliers deemed medium-
orhigh- corruption risk, using a third-party platform that
screens for bribery and corruption, sanctions, human
rights risks and other reputational risks
• Differing levels of due diligence questionnaires designed
to ascertain:
• What corruption risks may be presented by the
suppliers or their principals or beneficial owners, and
• In the case of suppliers deemed high-risk, what
assurance they can provide about their programme
tomanage the relevant corruption risks
• An internal business and compliance justification
questionnaire, designed to ascertain whether there are
any corruption risks in connection with how and why the
supplier was nominated
• Escalation to, and approval by the relevant compliance
officer, where there are unexplained red flags
• Continuous monitoring via the screening functionality
andperiodic refresh of the questionnaires and approval
process. Investigations, remediation and enforcement
Investigations, remediations and enforcement
Allegations or suspicions reported or detected via Safecall
or any other channel are reported to the Group’s CECO,
who records them in a case management system and
oversees their investigation, in accordance with the Group’s
Investigations Principles and Procedures. This includes
ensuring the case is investigated by individuals who are
appropriately independent and informed only on a need-to-
know basis. More serious cases require a higher degree of
group-level oversight and involvement.
Subsea7 uses the case management system to track Speak
Up cases and other compliance and ethics investigation
metrics, such as the number of reports received, the types
of misconduct alleged or suspected, the outcome of the
investigation and any remedial measures taken. This
includes any disciplinary measures, including dismissals,
and any police referrals where relevant. Subsea7 uses these
metrics to assess areas for improvement in its programme,
and the Group includes them in the reports to relevant
executive and Board committees. Any convictions or fines
imposed on the Group would be reported to the Oslo Stock
Exchange and relevant regulators.
Monitoring, auditing and assurance
Subsea7 regularly monitors and reviews its Business Ethics
Programme to ensure it is up to date, properly implemented
and continually improved, consistent with the Group’s
Anti-Corruption Risk Management and Due Diligence
andAssurance Framework.
The Group’s CECO provides periodic reports to the Ethics
Committee and the Corporate Governance, Nominations
and Risk Committee, in addition to the Audit and Sustainability
Committee. These committees review the strategy and
objectives and agree priorities, assess metrics, and approve
the Business Ethics Programme improvement initiatives.
Subsea7’s internal audit function includes a review of
elements of the Business Ethics Programme when
undertaking audits of the Group’s operations. The CECO
conducts regional visits, often accompanied by members
ofthe Executive Management Team, to monitor the
effectiveness of the Group’s Business Ethics Programme.
Subsea7 monitors Speak Up and other compliance and
ethics cases to identify potential control weaknesses or
failures, or unethical behaviour. The CECO also has
quarterly meetings with the Group’s external auditors.
Subsea7 has commissioned reports on the design and
effective implementation of the programme from expert
independent assurance providers. Between 2016 and 2023
the assessment was performed by GoodCorporation™.
Since then, the design of the group-wide programme and
itsimplementation across Subsea7’s business has been
certified to ISO 37001:2016. The Group’s objective is to
maintain this certification via a rolling programme of audits
across a large sample of the Group’s sites. The certification
was maintained at the end of 2025 as a result of the audits
conducted by EuroCompliance in accordance with that plan.
Culture and values
The Group’s Business Ethics Programme is underpinned
bythe Group’s culture and Values as described in the in the
section ‘Corporate culture and business conduct policies
(ESRS G1-1)’ on page 116.

Metrics and targets
Confirmed incidents of corruption or bribery
(ESRSG1-4)
Allegations or suspicions reported or detected via Safecall
orinternal channels are reported to the Group’s CECO, who
records them in a case management system and oversees
their investigation in accordance with the Group’s
Investigations Principles and Procedures. Subsea7 is
therefore able to disclose how many cases that could,
ifsubstantiated, comprise active or passive bribery or
corruption. For every case, Subsea7 tracks the outcome,
including any potential control enhancements and disciplinary
sanctions. If the Group believed that an employee may have
committed a bribery or corruption offence, then there is a
presumption that Subsea7 would refer the employee to the
relevant law enforcement authorities. Subsea7 is not aware
of any employees being convicted or fined during 2025 for
acorruption or bribery offence, whether pursuant to such a
referral or otherwise, for example, if an employee committed
an offence other than in connection with their work for the
Group, or of which Subsea7 was otherwise unaware.
Any convictions or fines imposed on the Group would
bereported to the Oslo Stock Exchange and relevant
regulators. During 2025, there were no such convictions
orfines, nor any public legal cases relating to bribery or
corruption brought against the Group.
Table 4-4 summarises all allegations or suspicions of
corrupt behaviour that were investigated during 2025
and2024, including the outcome and any remedial or
disciplinary actions taken.

Political influence and lobbying activities
(ESRSG1-5)
The Group has a procedure for recording financial or
in-kind political contributions within its accounting records,
although the Group’s policy is not to make any contributions
of this kind. There is no defined methodology for estimating
the monetary value of any in-kind political contributions and
none were made during 2025.
In 2025, Subsea7 became a member of the International
Association of Oil & Gas Producers (or IOGP) European
Committee, which engages in lobbying activities, and
continued its membership in International Marine
Contractors Association (or IMCA), an organisation that
also initiated lobbying efforts in 2025. IOGP comprises
over90 active members, and IMCA has over 800 members,
therefore the lobbying activities of those organisations
arenot a direct representation of the Group’s position.
Participation in these industry associations is subject to
review and oversight by Subsea7’s Executive Committee.
The Group’s lobbying activities focus on regulatory and
safety standards relevant to offshore energy operations,
aligning with Subsea7’s material impacts, risks, and
opportunities identified in its materiality assessment.
Subsea7’s position emphasises promoting safe, sustainable
and efficient practices within the offshore sector, ensuring
alignment with environmental and social governance
objectives. The Group is not registered in any EU Member
State or EU State transparency register.
During 2025, no members of Subsea7’s administrative,
management or supervisory bodies held a comparable
position in public administration, including regulators, in
thetwo years preceding such appointment. For further
information on both political influence and lobbying activities
addressed in the Group’s ABAC Policy, refer to the section
‘Code of Conduct and clear policies’ on page 118.
Payment practices (ESRS G1-6)
Subsea7’s standard payment terms are 45 days for
suppliers globally, and approximately 40% of invoices
cleared for payment in 2025 were contracted on these
terms, similar to 2024.
However, reduced payment terms apply in the
followinginstances:
For certain material and service groups (MSGs), for
example, port services, vessel charter parties and travel
providers who have payment terms shorter than 30 days.
Where there are regional payment practices, for example,
inthe Netherlands, under Dutch law, large companies, such
as Subsea7 must pay small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.
As Subsea7 recognises the importance of cash flow to
suppliers, 30-day terms are applied for small companies
(typically with a headcount below 50 and turnover or a
balance sheet below EUR10m).
The Group wholly owned subsidiary Xodus sets their
payment terms at 30 days as standard.
Metrics on contracted terms with suppliers, relating to invoices
cleared for payment in 2025 (excluding Xodus data):
• Shorter than 30 days – 2025: approximately 25%
similarto 2024
• 30 day terms or less – 2025: over 50%; 2024: over 60%.
The reduction from 2024 is likely due to a change in
criteria as to when 30 days is applicable.
The overall average time for Subsea7 to pay invoices
decreased from 42 days in 2024 to 40 days in 2025.
For the Group’s UK entities that meet at least two of the
following characteristics: annual revenue of GBP36 million,
total assets of GBP18 million or 250 employees, Subsea7
submits half-yearly payment practice reports, which can be
accessed on https://www.gov.uk/check-when-businesses-
pay-invoices.
Instances where supplier invoices are due and outstanding
for significant periods are typically managed and resolved at
a project level. During 2025, no suppliers commenced legal
proceedings against Subsea7 for late payment of invoices.

Limited Assurance Conclusion
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the
Sustainability Statement of Subsea 7 S.A. (the “Company”),
included in section “Sustainability Statements” of the
Annual Report (the “Sustainability Statement”), for the year
ended December 31, 2025.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the
evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying
Sustainability Statement is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with articles 29(a) of the EU
Directive 2013/34/EU (“the Directive”) including:
• compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting
Standards (“ESRS”), including that the process carried
out by the Company to identify the information reported
(the “Process”) is in accordance with the description set
out in note ESRS 2 IRO-1
• compliance of the disclosures in “EU Taxonomy”
withintheenvironmental section of the Sustainability
Statementwith Article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852
(the“Taxonomy Regulation”)
• prepared taking into consideration the Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2025/1416.
Basis for Limited Assurance Conclusion
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in
accordance with International Standard on Assurance
Engagements 3000 (revised) (“ISAE 3000”), Assurance
Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical
Financial Information, established by the International
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (“IAASB”) as
adopted for Luxembourg by the Institut des Réviseurs
d’Entreprises (“IRE”).
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is
sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion. Our responsibilities under this standard are
further described in the réviseur d’entreprises section of
our report.
Our Independence and Quality
Management
We have complied with the independence and other
ethicalrequirements of the International Code of Ethics
forProfessional Accountants, including International
Independence Standards, issued by the International
EthicsStandards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code)
asadopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission de
Surveillance du Secteur Financier” (CSSF), which is
founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity,
professional competence and due care, confidentiality and
professional behaviour.
Our firm applies International Standard on Quality
Management (”ISQM”) 1, Quality Management for Firms
thatPerform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements,
orOther Assurance or Related Services Engagements,
asadopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, which requires
the firm to design, implement and operate a system
ofquality management, including policies or procedures
regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional
standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors
for the Sustainability Statement
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible
fordesigning, implementing and maintaining a process
toidentify the information reported in the Sustainability
Statement in accordance with the ESRS and for disclosing
this Process in note IRO-1 of the sustainability statements.
This responsibility includes:
• understanding the context in which the Subsea 7’s
activities and business relationships take place and
developing an understanding of its affected stakeholders;
• the identification of the actual and potential impacts
(bothnegative and positive) related to sustainability
matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect,
orcould reasonably be expected to affect, the entity’s
financial position, financial performance, cash flows,
access to finance or cost of capital over the short-,
medium-, or long-term;
• assessment of the materiality of the identified impacts,
risks and opportunities related to sustainability matters by
selecting and applying appropriate thresholds; and
• making assumptions that are reasonable in
thecircumstances.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
The Board of Directors of the Company is further
responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability
Statement in accordance with the article 29(2) of the
EUDirective 2013/34/EU, which includes the information
identified by the Process, including:
• compliance with the ESRS;
• preparing the disclosures in “EU Taxonomy” within the
environmental section of the Sustainability Statement,
incompliance with Article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852
(the “Taxonomy Regulation”);
• designing, implementing and maintaining such internal
control that Board of Directors determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Statement
that is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error; and
• the selection and application of appropriate sustainability
reporting methods and making assumptions and
estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Inherent limitations in preparing the
Sustainability Statement
In reporting forward looking information in accordance with
ESRS, the Board of Directors of the Company is required
toprepare the forward looking information on the basis of
disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the
future and possible future actions by the Company. Actual
outcome is likely to be different since anticipated events
frequently do not occur as expected.
In determining the disclosures in the Sustainability
Statement, the Board of Directors of the Company
interprets undefined legal and other terms. Undefined
legaland other terms may be interpreted differently,
including the legal conformity of their interpretation
and,accordingly, are subject to uncertainties.
Responsibility of the Réviseur d’entreprises
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the assurance
engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether
theSustainability Statement is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
alimited assurance report that includes our conclusion.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
theycould reasonably be expected to influence decisions
ofusers taken on the basis of the Sustainability Statement
as a whole.
As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance
with ISAE 3000, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability
Statement, in relation to the Process, include:
• Performing risk assessment procedures, including
obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant
tothe engagement, to identify risks that the process to
identify the information reported in the Sustainability
Statement does not address the applicable requirements
of the ESRS, but not for the purpose of providing a
conclusion on the effectiveness of the Process, including
the outcome of the Process.
• Designing and performing procedures to evaluate
whether the Process to identify the information reported
in the Sustainability Statement is consistent with the
Company’s description of its Process, as disclosed in
note ESRS 2 IRO-1.
Our other responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability
Statement include:
• Performing risk assessment procedures, including
obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to
the engagement, to identify where material misstatements
are likely to arise, whether due to fraud orerror, but not
for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control; and
• Designing and performing procedures responsive to
where material misstatements are likely to arise in the
Sustainability Statement. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance
engagement vary in nature and form, and are less in
extentthan for, a reasonable assurance engagement.
Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited
assurance engagement is substantially lower than the
assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable
assurance engagement been performed.

Summary of the work performed
A limited assurance engagement involves performing
procedures to obtain evidence about the Sustainability
Statement. The procedures performed in a limited
assurance engagement vary in nature and form, and
areless in extent than for, a reasonable assurance
engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained
in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower
than the assurance that would have been obtained had
areasonable assurance engagement been performed.
The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected
depend on professional judgement, including identification
of disclosures where material misstatements are likely to
arise in the Sustainability Statement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect
of the Process, we:
• Obtained an understanding of the Process by
• performing inquiries to understand the sources of
theinformation used by management (e.g., stakeholder
engagement, business plans and strategy
documents);and
• reviewing the Company’s internal documentation of its
Process; and
• Evaluated whether the evidence obtained from our
procedures about the Process implemented by the
Company was consistent with the description of the
Process set out in note ESRS 2 IRO- 1.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with
respect to the Sustainability Statement, we:
• Obtained an understanding of the Company’s reporting
processes relevant to the preparation of its Sustainability
Statement by conducting interviews with the Company’s
key personnel;
• Evaluated whether all information identified by the
Process to identify the information reported in the
Sustainability Statement is included in the Sustainability
Statement;
• Evaluated whether the structure and the presentation of
the Sustainability Statement is in accordance with the ESRS;
• Performed inquires of relevant personnel and
analyticalprocedures on selected disclosures in
theSustainability Statement;
• Performed substantive assurance procedures based
onasample basis on selected disclosures in the
Sustainability Statement;
• Compared selected disclosures in the Sustainability
Statement with the corresponding disclosures in the
financial statements and Annual report;
• Evaluated the methods assumptions and data for
developing estimates and forward looking information;
• Obtained an understanding of the process to identify
taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned economic
activities and the corresponding disclosures in the
Sustainability Statement;
Other information
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
theStrategic Report, Governance, Consolidated Financial
Statements, Subsea 7 S.A. Financial Statements, Other
information included in the consolidated Company’s 2025
Annual report but does not include the Sustainability
Information and our assurance report thereon.
Our conclusion on the Sustainability Statement does
notcover the other information and we do not express
anyformof assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our limited assurance engagement on
the Sustainability Statement, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the Sustainability Statement or our knowledge obtained in
the limited assurance engagement, or otherwise appears
tobe materially misstated. If, based on the work we
haveperformed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Commitment to shareholder returns
At the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2026, the Board of Directors will propose a dividend of NOK 13.00 per share,
equating to approximately $400 million, payable in May 2026. This is equivalent to an approximate dividend yield of 5%.
Outlook
While regulatory clearance for the proposed merger with Saipem S.p.A. is still in progress, management remains firmly
committed to delivering ongoing projects to clients and continuing to secure new high-quality contracts.
With a robust backlog of nearly $14 billion, there is high visibility on anticipated revenue for 2026 of approximately $7.0 billion
to $7.4 billion. Management expects the Adjusted EBITDA margin to continue to improve and reach approximately 22% in
2026. With a disciplined approach to reinvestment, management expects capital expenditure of $350 million to $380 million
in 2026, yielding another year of significant cash generation.
Overall, management are confident that the resilience of the energy market, combined with the Group's differentiated
offering and strong track record of delivery, continues to position Subsea7 for success.
Income statement
Revenue
Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 was $7.1 billion, an increase of $249 million or 4% compared to the prior
year. The increase was due to higher activity levels in the Subsea and Conventional business unit with continued strong
demand for the Group’s services within the offshore oil and gas sector.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $1.5 billion, an increase of $390 million or 36% compared to the year ended 31 December 2024,
resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 21% compared to 16% in the prior year. The year-on-year increase was driven
by higher Adjusted EBITDA in both the Subsea and Conventional and Renewables business units reflecting high activity
levels and the execution of projects awarded at improved margins.
Net operating income
Net operating income was $771 million compared to $446 million in the prior year. Net operating income for the year ended
31 December 2025 was mainly driven by:
x net operating income of $762 million in the Subsea and Conventional business unit compared to $404 million in the year
ended 31 December 2024. The year-on-year increase in profitability was mainly driven by higher activity levels and the
execution of projects awarded at improved margins;
x net operating income of $75 million in the Renewables business unit compared to net operating income of $53 million
in the prior year
partly offset by:
x net operating loss of $67 million in the Corporate business unit.
Net income
Net income was $404 million compared to $217 million in the prior year. The year-on-year improvement of $188 million was
mainly driven by:
x an increase in net operating income of $325 million;
x net finance costs of $65 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, compared with net finance costs of $77 million in
the prior year
partly offset by:
x net loss within other gains and losses of $84 million, driven by losses on non-cash foreign exchange, compared to net
loss within other gains and losses of $1 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, driven by non-cash foreign
exchange gains partly offset by losses on foreign exchange; and
x taxation of $218 million, equivalent to an effective tax rate of 35%, compared to taxation of $152 million in the prior year,
equivalent to an effective tax rate of 41%.
Earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share was $1.38 compared to $0.67 in the year ended 31 December 2024, calculated using a weighted
average number of shares of 298 million and 300 million, respectively.

$11.7 billion of backlog related to the Subsea and Conventional business unit (which included $1.3 billion related to long-term
day-rate contracts for PLSVs in Brazil) and $2.1 billion related to the Renewables business unit. $6.9 billion of the backlog is
expected to be executed in 2026, $4.3 billion in 2027 and $2.6 billion in 2028 and thereafter. Backlog related to associates
and joint ventures is excluded from these amounts.
Cash flow
Cash flow statement
Cash and cash equivalents were $970 million at 31 December 2025, an increase of $394 million in the year. The movement in
cash and cash equivalents was mainly attributable to:
x net cash generated from operating activities of $1.5 billion, which included a favourable movement of $234 million in net
working capital
partly offset by:
x net cash used in investing activities of $214 million, comprising $281 million related to purchases of property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets partly offset by $41 million dividends received from the Group’s associate, OneSubsea; and
x net cash used in financing activities of $874 million, which included $376 million related to dividends paid to the
shareholders of the parent company, payments related to lease liabilities of $292 million and net repayment of borrowings
of $139 million.
Free cash flow
During the year, the Group generated free cash flow of $1.2 billion (2024: $583 million) which is defined as net cash generated
from operating activities of $1.5 billion (2024: $931 million) less purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets of $281 million (2024: $349 million).
Balance sheet at 31 December 2025
Non-current assets
Non-current assets were $4.9 billion (31 December 2024: $5.2 billion). The decrease of $297 million was largely driven by a
$201 million decrease in property, plant and equipment, of which $94 million was recognised within assets included in a disposal
group classified as held for sale, and a $91 million decrease in right-of-use assets.
Non-current liabilities
Total non-current liabilities were $0.8 billion (31 December 2024: $1.0 billion). The decrease of $184 million was largely driven
by $181 million reclassified to current borrowings in line with repayment schedules.
Net current assets
Current assets were $3.1 billion (31 December 2024: $2.5 billion) and current liabilities were $2.8 billion (31 December
2024: $2.4 billion), resulting in net current assets of $302 million (31 December 2024: $40 million). The increase of $262
million in the period was largely driven by:
x increase in cash and cash equivalents of $394 million;
x increase in trade and other receivables of $173 million;
x assets included as a disposal group classified as held for sale of $165 million, including $121 million reclassified from non-
current assets
partly offset by:
x increase in construction contract liabilities of $309 million; and
x decrease in construction contract assets of $172 million.
Capital Employed
The Group’s capital employed represented by total assets less current liabilities was $5.2 billion (31 December 2024: $5.2 billion).
Equity
Total equity was $4.4 billion (31 December 2024: $4.3 billion). The movement of $150 million was largely driven by net income
of $404 million and net foreign currency translation gains of $103 million, partially offset by dividends of $368 million.

(c) The UKEF 2023 facility has a five-year tenor which commenced on 11 July 2025.
(d) 90% of the facility is provided by an Export Credit Agency (ECA) and 10% by commercial banks. The maturity of the ECA tranche is January 2029
and the maturity of the commercial tranche is January 2027.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities were $365 million, inclusive of amounts recognised within the disposal group classified as held for sale, a
decrease of $90 million compared to 31 December 2024. The decrease was largely driven by scheduled lease payments
partially offset by increases associated with long-term vessel charters.
Net cash/(debt)
At 31 December 2025:
x net cash (excluding lease liabilities) was $386 million compared to net debt of $147 million at 31 December 2024; and
x net cash (including lease liabilities) was $21 million, compared to net debt of $602 million at 31 December 2024.
Gearing
Gross gearing (borrowings divided by total equity) was 13.1% (31 December 2024: 16.8%).
Liquidity
The Group’s liquidity represented by cash and cash equivalents and undrawn borrowing facilities was $1.6 billion
(31 December 2024: $1.3 billion).
Cash management constraints
The Group operates within a liquidity risk management framework which governs its management of short, medium and long-
term funding and liquidity requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by ensuring that it has access to sufficient cash,
banking and borrowing facilities. This is achieved by regularly monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities where appropriate.
Financial covenant compliance
The Group’s committed borrowing facilities contain financial covenants relating to a maximum level of net debt (excluding
lease liabilities) to Adjusted EBITDA. During the year, all financial covenants were met. The Group expects to be able to comply
with all financial covenants during 2026.
Share repurchase programme
During the year ended 31 December 2025, there were no shares repurchased in accordance with the Group’s share repurchase
programme authorised on 24 July 2019, extended on 19 April 2023. At 31 December 2025, the Group had cumulatively repurchased
15.2 million shares for a total cost of $164 million under this programme. At 31 December 2025, the Group held 3.5 million shares
(31 December 2024: 4.0 million) as treasury shares, representing 1.16% (31 December 2024: 1.33%) of the total number of issued
shares. The extended share repurchase programme expired on 18 April 2025.
Dividend
A dividend of NOK 13.00 per share paid in two equal instalments, was approved by the shareholders of Subsea 7 S.A. at the
Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2025. The first instalment, equivalent to $184 million, was paid on 22 May 2025 and the second
instalment, equivalent to $192 million was paid on 6 November 2025. The Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts
to mitigate the foreign currency exposure of the dividend. The total net dividend paid, after including the gain on foreign exchange
forward contracts, was $350 million.

Additional information specific to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements of Subsea 7 S.A.
Unconsolidated Financial Statements of Subsea 7 S.A.
The Unconsolidated Financial Statements of Subsea 7 S.A., the ultimate parent company of the Subsea 7 S.A. Group, are
shown on pages 220 to 228. These were prepared in accordance with Luxembourg’s legal and regulatory requirements and
using the going concern basis of accounting.
The loss for the year ended 31 December 2025 was $132.6 million (2024: $69.5 million). The adverse movement in
profitability was mainly driven by value adjustments in respect of financial assets and of investments held as current assets,
which was $88.6 million in 2025 compared to $16.9 million in 2024. It is proposed that the loss of $132.6 million for the year
ended 31 December 2025 be allocated to profit and loss brought forward at 1 January 2026 resulting in a loss to be brought
forward amounting to $132.6 million.
Own shares held
At 31 December 2025, the Company directly held 3.5 million (2024: 4.0 million) own shares at a carrying amount of $60.2 million
(2024: $62.7 million).
Distributable amounts
At 31 December 2025, the Company had distributable amounts, as defined by Luxembourg law, totalling $357.6 million
(2024: $856.0 million). Distributable amounts include share premium account, profit and loss account brought forward and
profit or loss for the year. The year-on-year decrease was mainly due to dividends declared of $368.3 million and the loss
for the financial year of $132.6 million.
Risk management, internal control and corporate governance
The Company’s approach to risk management, internal control and corporate governance is consistent with that applied
to affiliates in the Subsea7 Group and is detailed in the Risk Management and Governance sections on pages 30 to 69.

REPORT OF THE RÉVISEUR
D’ENTREPRISES AGRÉÉ
To the Shareholders of Subsea 7 S.A.
412F, route d’Esch
L-1471 Luxembourg
Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Subsea 7 S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) included
on pages 146 to 210, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet at 31 December 2025, the Consolidated Income
Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and
the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial
position of the Group at 31 December 2025, and of its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession
(“Law of 23 July 2016”) and with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission
de Surveillance du Secteur Financier” (“CSSF”). Our responsibilities under the EU Regulation Nº 537/2014, the Law of 23
July 2016 and ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF are further described in the “Responsibilities of the “réviseur
d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We are also independent
of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including International
Independence Standards, issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (“IESBA Code”) as adopted for
Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Merger with Saipem S.p.A.
We draw your attention to Note 1 ‘General information’ of the Consolidated Financial Statements which explains that Subsea
7 S.A. entered into a binding merger agreement with Saipem S.p.A. on 23 July 2025. Management expects that the merger
will complete in the second half of 2026 subject to conditions precedent including regulatory approvals. Following the effective
date of the merger, Subsea 7 S.A. will be absorbed by Saipem S.p.A., and the latter entity will be renamed Saipem7 S.p.A.
Management prepared the Group’s financial statements on the going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the Consolidated
Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Key audit matter: Recognition of revenues on long-term contracts
Description of
key audit
matter:
A significant proportion of the Group’s revenue is derived from long-term contracts. As detailed in
Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements, these contracts include
complex technical and commercial risks and often specify performance milestones to be achieved
throughout the contract period, which can last several years.
Due to the contracting nature of the business, revenue recognition involves a significant degree of
judgement, with estimates being made to:
x assess the total contract costs;
x assess the stage of completion of the contract;
x assess the proportion of revenues, including variable consideration, to recognise in line with contract
completion;
x forecast the profit margin on each contract incorporating appropriate allowances for technical and
commercial risks related to performance milestones yet to be achieved; and
x appropriately identify, value, and provide for onerous contracts.
There is a range of acceptable outcomes resulting from these judgements that could lead to different
revenue being reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group has detailed procedures and processes in place to manage the commercial, technical
and financial aspects of long-term contracts. The processes include the preparation of a Project
Monthly Status Report (PMSR), which includes key accounting and forecast information for the
relevant contract.
The risks of material misstatement are that the accounting for the Group’s significant contracts does
not accurately reflect the progress made or consider all commercial and technical risks associated
with the contract due to inaccurate estimation, inappropriate recognition of unagreed income, or
management override of results. Consequent to this the contract revenue and margin at the reporting
date would be materially incorrect.
Our response:
Our audit procedures over the recognition of revenues on long-term contracts included, among others,
the following:
We evaluated the relevant information technology systems and performed procedures over the
operating effectiveness of internal controls over the accuracy and timing of long-term contract
revenue and margin recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including controls over:
x the detailed contract reviews (being the PMSR process and controls) performed by management
and reviewed at the project and the Group level that included estimating total costs, stage of
completion of contracts, and evaluating contract profitability; and
x the transactional controls that underpin the production of underlying contract-related cost balances
including the purchase-to-pay, vessel costs and payroll cycles.
For the most significant contracts and those which are subject to estimation uncertainty, we:
x read the relevant clauses within selected contracts to obtain an understanding of the specific terms;
x obtained the PMSR and gained an understanding of the performance and project status;
x corroborated management’s positions through the examination of externally generated evidence,
such as customer correspondence and correspondence with legal advisors;
x discussed and understood management’s estimates for total contract costs and forecast costs-to-
complete, considering the impact of cost inflation, and taking into account the historical accuracy
of such estimates;
x discussed and understood management’s estimates in recognising actual or potential variation
orders/unagreed income, taking into account the historical accuracy of such estimates;
x agreed project revenue, costs, and margin from supporting documentation to the PMSRs, to the
trial balance, and to the Annual Report;
x re-performed the percentage-of-completion calculations;
x considered whether provisions for onerous contracts reflect the contractual position and the
requirements of IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’;
x for day-rate/reimbursable contracts tested for appropriate cut off and revenue recognition.
x for a selection of smaller projects, we performed additional testing focusing on unusual or large
movements in revenue or margin.
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’ and Note 5
‘Segment information’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements in relation to revenue.

Key audit matter: Vessel fleet impairment assessments
Description of
key audit
matter:
At 31 December 2025, the carrying amount of the owned vessel fleet was $3.3 billion as detailed in
Note 14 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements. During the year
impairment charges of $10.1 million were recognised, mainly relating to vessel-related equipment.
Vessels within property, plant and equipment are subject to an impairment test where indicators of
impairment exist. Impairment charges are recognised when necessary to bring the carrying amounts
of specific assets to their recoverable amount defined as the higher of value-in-use or fair value less
costs to dispose.
If there is an indication that an impairment loss no longer exists or has decreased, the entity is required
to calculate the recoverable amount of the asset and reverse the impairment loss up to the lower of the
recoverable amount or historical cost, if appropriate.
The process for determining whether impairment indicators exist is complex and requires significant
management judgement.
The key factors are:
x the forecast utilisation of the owned vessel fleet;
x the determination of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units in which the vessels are
allocated; and
x the external broker estimates of market valuation.
The subsequent process for determining the amount of impairment which may result from the above
indicators is also complex and requires significant management judgement and estimates.
The risks of material misstatement are that the carrying amount of the owned vessel fleet within
property, plant and equipment could be overstated or understated.
Our response:
Our audit procedures over the vessel fleet impairment assessments included, among others, the following:
We evaluated management’s assessment for indicators of impairment or for indicators of reversal of
impairments related to vessels within property, plant and equipment.
We obtained an understanding of the internal financial controls for the vessel impairment process
including the determination of assumptions used within the models to assess the recoverable amount.
We obtained management’s impairment assessment.
For vessels where an impairment trigger was identified, we analysed the recoverable amount
considering the value-in-use of the cash-generating units in which the vessels are allocated.
We reviewed the external broker valuations obtained by management for each vessel and assessed the
independence, objectivity and competence of the broker as well as the adequacy of the respective
assumptions and methods used, the reasonableness of the conclusions reached, and their consistency
with management’s analysis.
We assessed the determination of the vessels’ useful lives including residual values.
We obtained an understanding of management’s rationale for the impairment and assessed it for
appropriateness against the criteria as per IAS 36 and assessed if any impairment reversal triggers of
the vessel fleet existed.
We assessed the completeness and the accuracy of the impairments identified by management.
We evaluated the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in Note 14 ‘Property, plant and equipment’
regarding the impairments of owned vessel-related equipment in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key audit matter: Goodwill impairment assessments
Description of
key audit
matter:
As detailed in Note 12 ‘Goodwill’, the Consolidated Financial Statements include $157.0 million of
goodwill at 31 December 2025.
Goodwill is subject to an annual review for impairment or when indicators of impairment exist.
An estimate of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which goodwill is
allocated is prepared. The estimated recoverable amount is determined based on the calculation of the
value-in-use of the CGUs. The outcome of the impairment review could vary significantly if different
assumptions were applied in the models.
The estimated recoverable amount is subjective due to the inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting
and discounting future cash flows with many of the key underlying assumptions being impacted by
political and economic factors. The key assumptions include:
x the future Adjusted EBITDA assumptions taken from the Group’s most recent budgets and plans
for the next five years approved by management (“the Plan”);
x the Adjusted EBITDA forecasts and long-term growth rate used beyond the period covered by
the Plan considering the significance of the terminal value cash flows to the total value-in-use;
also considering the expected impact of climate change;
x the pre-tax discount rate applied to future cash flows; and
x the forecast capital expenditure necessary to maintain the function of the assets in the CGU.
The risk of material misstatement is that the carrying amount of goodwill could be overstated.
Our response:
We understood the internal controls for the goodwill impairment process including the determination
of assumptions used within the models to assess the recoverable amount of goodwill and evaluated
the appropriateness of management’s identification of the Group’s CGUs.
We assessed management’s impairment testing by obtaining the supporting model and assessing the
methodology and key assumptions made:
x the Adjusted EBITDA forecasts – we evaluated these and tested the underlying values used in the
calculations by comparing management’s forecast to the latest management approved five-year plan;
x we assessed the actual performance in the year against the prior year budgets to evaluate historical
forecasting accuracy;
x we evaluated Adjusted EBITDA forecasts against market expectations, historical levels, and the
impact of climate change;
x terminal value – we evaluated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA forecasts beyond the five-year plan period;
x long-term growth rate – we compared the rates applied by management to available externally
developed rates;
x we assessed the level of forecast capital expenditure necessary to maintain the function of the
assets in the CGUs;
x pre-tax discount rate – we involved our valuations specialists in our evaluation of the discount rate
to consider the appropriateness of the rate used;
x we considered the difference between the market capitalisation and the carrying value of the
Group’s net assets; and
x we tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models.
We re-performed sensitivity analysis around the key assumptions for all CGUs in order to ascertain the
extent of change in those assumptions required individually or collectively to result in an impairment of
goodwill. For those CGUs which were most sensitive, we discussed the basis for these cash flows with
management and the Group’s Audit and Sustainability Committee.
We examined the sensitivity disclosures presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements to
consider whether reasonably possible changes to assumptions that could lead to a material
impairment had been disclosed.
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 12 ‘Goodwill’ to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

REPORT OF THE RÉVISEUR D’ENTREPRISES AGRÉÉ
CONTINUED
Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Consolidated Management Report from pages 131 to 136, the Corporate Governance Statement from pages 48 to 69 and
the Additional Information from pages 211 to 214 but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our report
of “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements,
or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this
fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and of those charged with governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for presenting and marking up the Consolidated Financial Statements in
compliance with the requirements set out in the Delegated Regulation 2019/815 on European Single Electronic Format,
as amended (“ESEF Regulation”).
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of the “réviseur d’entreprises
agréé” that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with the ISAs as adopted for
Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for
Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
x Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial
Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
x Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
x Assess whether the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the
requirements laid down in the ESEF Regulation.
x Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities and business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
We have been appointed as “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” by the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 8 May 2025 and
the duration of our uninterrupted engagement, including previous renewals and reappointments, is twelve years.
The Consolidated Management Report is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements and has been prepared
in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
The accompanying corporate governance statement on pages 48 to 69 is the responsibility of the Board of Directors. The
information required by article 68ter paragraph (1) letters c) and d) of the law of 19 December 2002 on the commercial and
companies register and on the accounting records and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended, is consistent with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We have checked the compliance of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as at 31 December 2025 with
relevant statutory requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation that are applicable to the financial statements. For the Group,
it relates to:
x financial statements prepared in valid xHTML format; and
x the XBRL markup of the Consolidated Financial Statements using the core taxonomy and the common rules on markups
specified in the ESEF Regulation.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group at 31 December 2025, identified as
222100AIF0CBCY80AH62-2025-12-31, have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements laid
down in the ESEF Regulation.
We confirm that the prohibited non-audit services referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014 were not provided and that we
remained independent of the Group in conducting the audit.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General information
By virtue of its incorporation in Luxembourg, Subsea 7 S.A. is a company domiciled in Luxembourg whose common shares
trade on Oslo Børs and as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) over-the-counter in the US. The address of the registered
office is 412F, route d’Esch, L-1471 Luxembourg.
Subsea 7 S.A. is the holding company of the Subsea7 Group. Subsea 7 S.A.’s principal place of business is Luxembourg.
The Subsea7 Group is a global leader in the delivery of offshore projects and services for the evolving energy industry.
The Group provides products and services required for subsea field development, including project management, design and
engineering, procurement, fabrication, survey, installation and commissioning of production facilities on the seabed and the
tie-back of these facilities to fixed or floating platforms or to the shore. The Group offers a full spectrum of products and
capabilities including remotely operated vehicles and tooling services to support exploration and production activities and
to deliver full life-of-field services to its clients. Through its Renewables business unit, the Group offers expertise in the fixed
and floating wind market, including the procurement and installation of offshore wind turbine foundations and inter-array
cables as well as heavy lifting operations for renewables structures and heavy transportation services. The Group provides
engineering and advisory services to clients in the oil and gas, renewables and utilities industries through its wholly-owned,
autonomous subsidiaries Xodus and 4Subsea.
Authorisation of Consolidated Financial Statements
Under Luxembourg law, the Consolidated Financial Statements are approved by the shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting. The Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2026.
Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU).
The Consolidated Financial Statements comply with Article 4 of the EU IAS Regulation .
Amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in US dollars ($), the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the Group operates. Group entities whose functional currency is not the US dollar are consolidated in accordance
with the policies set out in Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain
financial instruments and balances required to be measured at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent
with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except where stated in Note 2 ‘Adoption
of new accounting standards’.
Going concern
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. Management has concluded that
there are no significant doubts over the application of the going concern assumption and no disclosable material uncertainties
which cast doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
At 31 December 2025, the Group had a solid cash position with cash and cash equivalents of $969.7 million. Total borrowings
were $583.7 million, with amounts drawn under both of the Group’s UK Export Finance facilities and the Group’s South
Korean Export Credit Agency facility. The Group’s $600 million multi-currency revolving credit and guarantee facility was
unutilised.
The Group’s borrowings and guarantee facilities contain financial covenants, including a maximum level of net debt to earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. During the year ended 31 December 2025, all financial covenants were met
with significant headroom, and the Group expects to be able to comply with all financial covenants during the going concern
assessment period, being 12 months from the date of signing of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Subsea 7 S.A.
directors. The Group ended the year with backlog of $13.8 billion, an increase of $2.6 billion compared to 31 December 2024.
On 23 February 2025, Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem S.p.A. signed a Memorandum of Understanding to regulate the terms of a
possible merger between the two companies. Subsequently, on 23 July 2025, Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem S.p.A. entered into
a binding merger agreement, governing the final terms of the proposed merger including the combination of the Group’s
business with the Asset Based Services business of Saipem S.p.A., including Offshore Wind, and form an operationally
autonomous company within the new combined group. The proposed merger is subject to conditions precedent, including
regulatory approval in certain jurisdictions, and anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2026.
Upon completion of the conditions precedent including obtaining the required regulatory approvals, and as approved
on the 25 September 2025 by the shareholders of Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem S.p.A. respectively, the proposed business
combination will be effected by way of an EU cross-border statutory merger of the Group’s parent company, Subsea 7 S.A.
into Saipem S.p.A. within the meaning of the provisions of the European Directive (EU) 2017/1132 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 14 June 2017 relating to certain aspects of company law, and Directive (EU) 2019/2121 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132 as regards cross-border conversions,
mergers and divisions (the EU Mobility Directive). By virtue of the proposed merger, Subsea 7 S.A., a company incorporated in
Luxembourg, will be absorbed by Saipem S.p.A., a company incorporated in Italy, which will acquire all assets and assume all
liabilities and other legal relationships of Subsea 7 S.A. and will be renamed Saipem7 S.p.A.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
152
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
The absorption of Subsea 7 S.A. into Saipem S.p.A. (renamed Saipem7 S.p.A.) itself will have no impact on the Group’s
ongoing operations or the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Completion of the proposed merger is subject
to, among other things, the admission to listing and trading of the shares of the combined company on Euronext Oslo in
Norway. The merged company, Saipem7 S.p.A. will remain incorporated in Italy and listed on Euronext Milan in Italy.
Management considers that the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern will not be impacted should the proposed
merger not be completed. The Group will generate sufficient cash flow and have access to adequate liquidity to support
the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern. Management has performed stress tests of future cash
flow forecasts to evaluate the impact of severe but plausible downside scenarios. These include scenarios which reflect
extended periods of low energy prices and potential operational-related issues which could adversely impact the Group.
In all scenarios, which factor in an evaluation of whether the proposed merger completes or does not complete, management
identified no forecast breaches of banking covenants and demonstrated sufficient liquidity for the Group.
Macroeconomic environment
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group’s interest and fees on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
were $50.2 million (2024: $70.7 million), as disclosed within Note 8 ‘Finance income and finance costs’. Management has
prepared an interest rate sensitivity analysis disclosed within the liquidity risk section of Note 33 ‘Financial instruments’.
At 31 December 2025, the Group’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and undrawn borrowing facilities,
was $1.6 billion (31 December 2024: $1.3 billion).
Measurement and disclosure of climate-related matters
Management has evaluated and provided relevant information to permit users of the Consolidated Financial Statements to
assess how material climate-related matters were considered in preparing the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
From 1 January 2024, the Group has elected to report, on a voluntary basis pending transposition into Luxembourg Law,
disclosures related to the European Union (EU) Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), with the applicable
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The disclosures under CSRD on pages 70 to 126 provide users
information on climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities related to the Group.
The Group’s current assessment of the range of economic and climate-related conditions that could exist in transitioning
to a lower-carbon economy are reflected in the Group’s medium and long-term plans. These considerations may affect
certain significant judgements and key estimates impacting the Consolidated Financial Statements. The primary matters
considered were:
Non-current assets
At 31 December 2025, the Group’s owned vessels represented in excess of 85% of the total carrying amount of property,
plant and equipment. Management considers that judgements and estimates impacted by climate-related considerations
are most relevant to the matters below:
x carrying amount of assets
x impairment testing and value-in-use calculations
x remaining useful economic life of assets and residual values
The majority of the Group’s vessels are deployed on oil and gas activities, and it is expected that oil and gas will continue
to represent a significant, although declining component of the global energy mix until at least 2050 during the transition to
sustainable lower-carbon sources of energy. Management considers that the Group is in a position to continue to utilise its
vessels for oil and gas development and adapt certain vessels, where required, to perform non-oil and gas projects. Typically,
new-build vessels are depreciated over 25 years, but a vessel can continue to be utilised beyond this period with appropriate
levels of capital expenditure. The useful economic life and residual values of vessels are reviewed annually. No amendments
were made to useful lives, and no indicators of impairment were identified as a direct result of climate-related matters for the
year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: none).
Cash flow forecasts
Estimating future global energy demand and supply and the pace of future technological change is challenging and customer
and competitor behaviour, political developments and government actions may impact the Group’s operations. Cash flow
projections used for impairment testing include climate-related risks and opportunities which may impact the Group’s
revenue, costs, including research and development costs, and capital expenditure. Management considers that costs
related to the physical impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures or the severity of weather events will not
significantly impact the Group. The impacts of the enactment of future government or legislative policies are not currently
factored into the cash flow projections utilised for impairment testing.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED
1. General information continued
Cash flow forecasts continued
Terminal value cash flows within impairment modelling are calculated using an estimated sustainable cash flow level,
reflecting climate-related aspects. International Financial Reporting Standards require the application of a steady or
declining growth rate unless an increasing rate can be justified. Growth rates applied to the Group’s Corporate and Subsea
and Conventional business units are 2%, in line with the prior year, to align with expected demand for the Group’s assets
and resources in the medium to long-term, which covers a five-year period and beyond. Third-party projections indicate
that offshore oil and gas will continue to be a significant source of energy through to 2050 and beyond. A growth rate of
4% has been applied to the Group’s Renewables business unit reflecting the growing renewables sector within the transition to
a lower-carbon economy. The discount rate utilised for these modelling calculations has not been adjusted for climate-related risk
as these risks are adequately captured in the Group’s medium and long-term plans and terminal value cash flows calculations.
Capital expenditure
Management has considered whether transitioning to a lower-carbon economy may lead to higher capital expenditure
costs to develop or acquire technology to comply with environmental requirements and the Group’s sustainability ambitions.
Management has applied judgement when determining whether climate-related capital expenditure necessary to meet
emission reduction targets is considered maintenance or enhancement. In compliance with International Financial Reporting
Standards, cash flow projections utilised for impairment testing include maintenance capital expenditure only. Management
continues to consider the development of lower-carbon emissions technologies which may be utilised by the vessel fleet in
particular. Decarbonisation measures through the use of efficient, cleaner fuels, mainly related to the Group’s vessel fleet,
form a key part in the transition to lower-carbon emissions, but are dependent upon the development of suitable alternative
fuels being available globally, at scale and being commercially viable.
Access to financial products
The Group utilises funding and financial products from financial institutions, such as banks and insurance companies.
Certain institutions may reduce or stop providing funding and financial products to the Group based on climate-related
considerations, this could result in higher costs for the Group. Management takes climate-related factors into consideration
to ensure the Group’s capacity and diversity of financial products is appropriate.
Emission trading schemes
Activities related to the Group’s heavy transport vessels incur costs related to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. During the
year, the Group has purchased emissions allowances which are held for the Group’s own use. Emissions allowances are
recognised as a cost within operating expenses in the Group’s Consolidated Income Statement, in line with the associated
activity. Emissions allowances purchased exceeding emissions incurred to date are carried at cost within other current
receivables on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. No emissions allowances are purchased and held for trading
purposes. Amounts received from clients related to emissions allowances are recognised in accordance with IFRS 15
‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, as one combined performance obligation.
2. Adoption of new accounting standards
Effective new accounting standards
No new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were adopted by the Group for the year beginning 1 January 2025.
Several amendments to existing IFRS were applied for the first time in 2025 but did not have a material impact on the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Group.
The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet
effective. There are no IFRS standards or amendments that have been issued but not yet adopted which are expected to
have a material impact on the Group.
3. Material accounting policies
Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the financial statements of Subsea 7 S.A. (the Company) and entities
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is assumed to exist where the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Subsidiaries
Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date
the Group obtains control over the subsidiary until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Changes in the Group’s
interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Group ceasing to control that subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions.
Note 39 ‘Wholly-owned subsidiaries’ includes information related to wholly-owned subsidiaries which are included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
154
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
All subsidiaries are wholly-owned (100%) except those listed in Note 26 ‘Non-controlling interests’. Non-controlling interests
comprise equity interests in subsidiaries which are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling
interests in the net assets or liabilities of subsidiaries are identified separately from the equity attributable to shareholders
of the parent company. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date that the Group obtains
control over the subsidiary together with the non-controlling shareholders’ share of net income or loss and other
comprehensive income or loss since that date.
Interests in associates and joint arrangements
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, but not control, and which is neither a subsidiary nor
a joint venture. Significant influence is defined as the right to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the
investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
Interests in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the investment is
recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the
associate or joint venture, less any provisions for impairment. The Consolidated Income Statement reflects the Group’s share
of net income or loss of the associate or joint venture. Losses in excess of the Group’s interest (which includes any long-term
interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment) are only recognised to the extent that the Group has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. Where there has
been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The Group executes projects through unstructured joint operations where contracts are entered into by individual entities of
the Group. Each party to the joint operation is responsible for their own specific contractual scope with associated revenue,
expenses, assets and liabilities recognised in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign currency translation
Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items recognised in the financial statements of each
entity are measured using that functional currency. Functional currency is defined as the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates. While this is usually the local currency, the US dollar is designated as the functional
currency of certain entities where transactions and cash flows are predominantly in US dollars.
All transactions in non-functional currencies are initially translated into the functional currency of each entity at the exchange
rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies are
translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.
All resulting exchange rate gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Non-monetary items
which are measured at historical cost in a non-functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items which are measured at fair value in a
non-functional currency are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair
value was determined.
Foreign exchange revaluations of short-term intra-group balances denominated in non-functional currencies are recognised
in the Consolidated Income Statement. Revaluations of long-term intra-group loans are recognised in the translation reserve
in equity.
The assets and liabilities of operations which have a non-US dollar functional currency are translated into the Group’s
reporting currency, US dollar, at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The exchange rate differences
arising on the translation are recognised in the translation reserve in equity. Income and expenditure items are translated
at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. On disposal of an entity with a non-US dollar functional currency the
cumulative translation adjustment previously recognised in the translation reserve in equity is reclassified to the Consolidated
Income Statement. At 31 December 2025, the exchange rates of the main currencies used throughout the Group, compared
to the US dollar, were as follows:
GBP 0.743
EUR 0.850
NOK 10.103
BRL 5.544
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group applies the IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ five-step model whereby revenue is recognised at
an amount which reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or
services to a customer.
The Group’s revenue comprises revenue recognised from contracts with customers for the provision of long-term fixed-price
contracts, services under charter agreements, day-rate contracts, reimbursable contracts, cost-plus contracts (and similar
contracts), each of which are considered to comprise one performance obligation. The following is a description of the
principal activities, by operating segment, from which the Group generates revenue as disclosed in the disaggregated
revenue analysis Note 5 ‘Segment information’.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. Material accounting policies continued
Subsea and Conventional
Subsea and Conventional work, which includes Engineering, Procurement, Installation and Commissioning (EPIC) contracts,
is generally contracted on a fixed-price basis. The costs and margins realised on such contracts vary depending on a number
of factors which may result in reduced margins or, in some cases, losses. The promised goods and services within each
contract are considered to be distinct as a bundle under IFRS 15. Due to the significant integration, customisation and highly
interrelated nature of the work performed they form one performance obligation with revenue being recognised over time.
During a contract, work is performed for the sole benefit of the client who continually monitors progress. Clients may also
participate in the supplier selection processes for procured items.
During the offshore phase of a contract, the Group typically executes work related to the installation of the client’s assets.
Due to the nature of the work performed, the Group would not have an alternative use for the works performed under a
contract for a specific client. The transaction price for these types of contracts, where there is an element of variable consideration,
which includes variation orders, claims, bonuses and liquidated damages, is based upon the single most likely outcome.
Any additional work, such as scope changes or variation orders, as well as other variable consideration, will be included within
the total price once the amounts can be reasonably estimated and management has concluded that it is highly probable that
recognition will not result in a significant revenue reversal in a future period.
For EPIC contracts, revenue is recognised in each period based upon the advancement of the work-in-progress. The input
method used to progressively recognise revenue over time is based upon percentage-of-completion whereby total costs
incurred to date are compared with total forecast costs at completion of the contract. This method provides a faithful
depiction of the transfer of goods and services to the customer. Any significant upfront procurement which is not customised
for the specific contract is not included within the actual cost of work performed until such time as the costs incurred are
proportionate to the progress in satisfying the performance obligation. Similarly, an adjustment to the measurement of
progress may be required where significant inefficiencies occur which results in the costs associated with inefficiencies
being excluded from the total forecast cost-at-completion to estimate percentage-of-completion. Typically, payment is due
from the customer between 30 to 60 days following the issuance of the invoice, although this may be longer depending upon
the client or customary payment terms in certain geographies. The contracts have no significant financing component as the
period between when the Group transfers promised goods or services to a customer and when the customer pays for those
goods or services will be one year or less. In circumstances where the Group has recognised revenue, but not issued
an invoice, the conditional entitlement to consideration is recognised as a construction contract asset. The construction
contract asset is transferred to trade and other receivables in accordance with the contractual milestone schedule which
reflects the unconditional entitlement to payment. The time elapsing before transfer to trade and other receivables may
be different between contracts depending upon the contractual terms and conditions. Construction contract liabilities arise
when progress billings to date exceed contract revenues recognised. Construction contract asset and liability balances
at 31 December 2025 and 2024 are disclosed within Note 22 ‘Construction contracts’. Assurance type warranty periods
commence at the completion of the contractual obligations and typically have a duration of between one and three years.
The Group’s Pipelay Support Vessel (PLSV) contracts, offshore Brazil, are also included within Subsea and Conventional.
PLSV revenue is based upon an agreed schedule of work applied to a range of daily operating activities pre-agreed with the
customer. As such these contracts are considered to be distinct as a pattern and hence one performance obligation under
the guidelines within IFRS 15. Each day is distinct with the overall promise being the delivery of a series of days which have
the same pattern of transfer to the customer. The transaction price for all PLSV contracts is determined by the expected
value approach being the number of days multiplied by the expected day-rate. This method of revenue recognition for PLSV
contracts provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. Typically, the value of work completed in any
one month corresponds directly with the Group’s right to payment. Payment is due from the client approximately 60 days
following invoice date. These contracts have no significant financing component. Unbilled revenue related to work completed
for the customer is included within Note 21 ‘Other accrued income and prepaid expenses'.
Certain Brazilian contracts contain escalation clauses which allow for inflationary adjustments on an annual basis to both
revenue and costs denominated in Brazilian real. These are recognised as variable consideration and are included within the
total price once the amounts can be reasonably estimated, and management has concluded that it is highly probable that
recognition will not result in a significant revenue reversal in a future period.
Front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies undertaken by the Group are also included within Subsea and
Conventional principally on a day-rate basis. Revenue recognition for day-rate contracts is described in the paragraph below.
The Group provides Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), survey and inspection, drill-rig support and related solutions on
a day-rate basis. Projects are contracted on the basis of an agreed schedule of rates applied to a range of daily operating
activities. These contracts are considered to be distinct as a pattern and hence one performance obligation under the
guidelines within IFRS 15. Each day is distinct with the overall promise being the delivery of a series of days that have the
same pattern of transfer to the customer. The transaction price for all day-rate contracts is determined by the expected
value approach, being the number of days multiplied by the expected day-rate. This method of revenue recognition for day-
rate contracts provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. Typically, the value of work completed in
any one month corresponds directly with Subsea7’s right to payment. Payment is due from the client approximately 30–45
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
days following the invoice date. These contracts have no significant financing component. Unbilled revenue related to work
completed for the customer, is included within Note 21 ‘Other accrued income and prepaid expenses’.
Customers, in certain circumstances, may request the commissioning of bespoke tooling. Revenue in relation to bespoke
tooling, which is not significant in relation to the Group’s overall revenue, is considered distinct in its own right. Dependent on
the individual contract with the customer, revenue from the sale of this bespoke tooling may be recognised over time or at a
point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery.
Renewables
Renewables contracts which include the construction and installation of fixed offshore wind turbine foundations and inter-
array cables, heavy lifting operations, decommissioning and heavy transportation are generally contracted on a fixed-price
basis. Similar to EPIC contracts, the promised goods and services within renewables contracts are considered to be distinct
as a bundle and hence one performance obligation with revenue being recognised over time. Although the promises within
the contract are capable of being distinct, management has concluded that they are not due to the significant integration,
customisation and highly interrelated nature of each contract. The contract work performed is for the sole benefit of the
customer who continually monitors progress, and the Group would not have an alternative use for work performed under
a specific contract. Clients may also participate in the supplier selection processes for procured items. The transaction
price for these types of contracts, where there is an element of variable consideration, is based upon the single most likely
outcome. Any additional work, such as scope changes or variation orders, as well as other variable consideration will be
included within the total price once the amounts can be reasonably estimated, and management has concluded that
this will not result in a significant revenue reversal in a future period.
For renewables contracts the input method used to progressively recognise revenue over time is based upon percentage-of-
completion whereby total costs incurred to date are compared with total forecast costs-at-completion of the contract.
This method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of the goods and services to the customer. Any significant upfront
procurement which is not customised for the particular contract is not included within the actual cost of work performed at
each period end. An adjustment to the measure of progress may be required where significant inefficiencies occur which
were not reflected in the price of the contract. Typically, payment is due from the client approximately 30–45 days following
the issuance of the invoice, although this may be longer depending upon the customer or customary payment terms in certain
geographies. These contracts have no significant financing component as the period between when the Group transfers the
promised goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services will be one year or
less. In circumstances where the Group has recognised revenue, but not issued an invoice, the entitlement to consideration
is recognised as a construction contract asset. The construction contract asset is transferred to trade and other receivables
in accordance with the contractual milestone schedule which reflects the unconditional entitlement to payment. The time
elapsing before transfer to trade and other receivables may be different between contracts depending upon the contractual
terms and conditions. Construction contract liabilities arise when progress billings exceed contract revenues. Assurance type
warranty periods commence at the completion of the contractual obligations. Construction contract asset and liability
balances at 31 December 2025 and 2024 are disclosed within Note 22 ‘Construction contracts’.
The Group operates a fleet of vessels which provide heavy transportation services mainly related to the offshore energy
sector, including the fixed offshore wind market. Under these contracts the Group’s vessels transport a specific agreed-upon
cargo for a single voyage. The Group treats these as voyage charter contracts and applies the input method to progressively
recognise revenue over time based upon percentage-of-completion whereby total costs incurred to date are compared with
total forecast costs at completion of the contract. This method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of the goods and
services to the customer. The Group generally has standard payment terms of approximately 10% freight paid on signing of
contract, 40% on loading and 50% on discharge. These contracts have no significant financing component as the period
between when the Group transfers the promised goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for
those goods or services will be one year or less. Voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation
of transporting cargo within a specified period. The voyage charters generally have variable consideration in the form of
demurrage, which is recognised over the period in which the performance obligations are met under the contract. Demurrage
is estimated at contract inception using either the expected value or most likely amount approaches. Such estimate is
reviewed and updated over the term of the voyage charter contract.
Corporate
Revenue within the Group’s Corporate business unit, which is not material to the Group, relates to activities in its autonomous
subsidiaries, Xodus and 4Subsea. Contracts with customers in these subsidiaries are contracted on either a fixed-price or day-
rate basis. Revenue related to these contracts is recognised using the method described previously for similar contracts
within the Subsea and Conventional and Renewables business units. Payment is due from the client approximately 30–60 days
following the issuance of the invoice. These contracts have no significant financing component as the period between when the
Group transfers the promised goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services will
be one year or less. Construction contract asset and liability balances related to fixed-price contracts at 31 December 2025 and
2024 are disclosed within Note 22 ‘Construction contracts’. Unbilled revenue-related work completed on day-rate contracts,
which has not been billed to clients, is included within Note 21 ‘Other accrued income and prepaid expenses’.

Advances received from customers
For certain contracts the Group may receive short-term advances from customers which are presented as deferred revenue
within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Advances received from customers include amounts received before the work is
performed on day-rate and fixed-price contracts. The consideration is not adjusted for the effects of a financing component
where the Group expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the customer pays for the service and when
the Group transfers that promised service to the customer will be 12 months or less.
Variable consideration
Variable consideration is constrained at contract inception to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in
the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration
is subsequently resolved.
Warranty obligations
The Group provides warranties for the repair of defects which are identified during the contract and within a defined period
thereafter. All are assurance-type warranties, as defined within IFRS 15, which the Group recognises under IAS 37
‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’. The Group does not have any contractual obligations for service-
type warranties.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until
such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. These amounts are calculated using the effective
interest rate related to the period of the expenditure. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Consolidated Income
Statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Finance costs
Finance costs or charges, including premiums on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an
accruals basis using the effective interest rate method.
Retirement benefit costs
The Group administers several defined contribution pension plans. Obligations in respect of such plans are charged to the
Consolidated Income Statement as they fall due. In addition, the Group administers one defined benefit pension plan. The
cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method.
Taxation
Taxation expense or income recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement or Consolidated Statement of Other
Comprehensive Income represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax charge or credit for the year.
Current tax
Current tax is based on the taxable income for the year, together with any adjustments to tax payable in respect of prior
years. Taxable income differs from income before taxes as reported in the Consolidated Income Statement because it
excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and further excludes items that are
never taxable or deductible. The tax laws and rates used to compute the Group’s current tax liabilities are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
In accordance with IFRIC 23 ‘Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments’, a liability is recognised for those matters for which
the tax determination is uncertain, but it is considered probable that there will be a future outflow of funds to a tax authority.
The liabilities are measured at the most likely amount expected to become payable. The assessment is based on the judgement
of tax professionals within the Group supported by previous experience in respect of such activities and in certain cases
based on specialist independent tax advice.
Current tax assets or liabilities are representative of taxes being owed by, or owing to, local tax authorities, and include the
impact of any provisions required for uncertain tax treatments.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income
and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be
available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets or liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets or liabilities
in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that does not affect either the taxable income or the accounting
income before taxes.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
158
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and interests
in associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference, and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to
the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. Deferred tax assets are derecognised or reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are substantively enacted and expected to apply in the period when the asset
is realised, or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the Consolidated Income Statement, except when
it relates to items charged or credited directly in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in which case the
deferred tax is also recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to
settle its current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Significant tax estimates and judgements
In accordance with IFRIC 23, a provision for an uncertain tax treatment is made where the ultimate outcome of a particular
tax matter is uncertain. In calculating tax assets and liabilities, the Group assesses the probability of treatment being
accepted and, where this is not probable and a reasonable estimate can be made, the Group recognises a provision for
the adjustment it considers probable to be required.
OECD Pillar Two
The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’ for the first time in 2023. The IASB amended the scope of IAS
12 to clarify that it applied to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two
model rules published by the OECD, including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described in
those rules. The amendments introduce a temporary exception to the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12,
so that an entity would neither recognise nor disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar
Two income taxes. Following the amendments, the Group is required to disclose that it has applied the exception and to
disclose separately its current tax expense or income related to Pillar Two income taxes.
Dry-dock, mobilisation and decommissioning expenditure
Dry-dock expenditure incurred to maintain a vessel’s classification is capitalised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a
distinct component of the asset and amortised over the period until the next scheduled dry-docking (usually between two-
and-a-half years and five years). At the date of the next dry-docking, the previous dry-dock asset and accumulated amortisation
is derecognised. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as incurred.
Intangible assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost at the date of initial acquisition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are measured at cost less amortisation and impairment charges. Intangible assets acquired as part of a
business combination are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
acquired as part of a business combination are measured at acquisition date fair value less amortisation and impairment charges.
Internally generated intangible assets are not capitalised, with the exception of development expenditure which meets the
criteria for capitalisation specified in IAS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic life and are assessed for impairment whenever
there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for
intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected useful life are accounted for by
changing the amortisation period or method and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense
related to intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement in the expense category
consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Property, plant and equipm
ent
Property, plant and equipment acquired separately, including critical spare parts acquired and held for future use, are measured
at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment charges.
Assets under construction are recognised at cost, less any recognised impairment charges. Depreciation of these assets
commences when the assets become operational and are deemed available-for-use.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset as follows:
Vessels
10 to 25 years
Operating equipment
3 to 10 years
Buildings
20 to 25 years
Other assets
3 to 7 years
Land is not depreciated.
Vessels are depreciated to their estimated residual value. Residual values, useful economic lives and methods of depreciation
are reviewed at least annually and adjusted if appropriate.
Gains or losses arising on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between any disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses on disposal are recognised in
the Consolidated Income Statement in the period in which the asset is disposed.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that non-financial assets, including intangible
assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual
impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable
amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. Where an asset does not generate
cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit
(CGU) to which the asset is allocated. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
impaired. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. In
determining fair value less costs of disposal, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Management has considered the potential impacts of climate risk and whether this will have an adverse impact on the
future use of the Group’s assets, including vessels and equipment. It is expected that oil and gas will continue to contribute
a significant, although declining, part in the transition to sustainable lower-carbon energy until at least 2050. The Group is
in a position to utilise its vessels and to adapt vessels, where required, for initiatives such as offshore carbon capture and
storage. The Group, through Seaway7, also operates within the offshore renewable sector including fixed offshore wind,
and it is expected that demand for the Group’s services will increase due to climate-related opportunities. The Group
continues to address the carbon emissions impact from vessel operations and invest in its fleet by assessing the viability of
lower-carbon fuels and converting vessels to hybrid power where practical. The former is dependent upon the development
of suitable alternative fuels being available globally, at scale, and commercially viable. The Group has launched and installed
a digital data analytic system across its vessel fleet to establish and define robust operating baselines from which efficiencies
can be implemented and measured. In addition, the Group has installed digital fuel flowmeters across its fleet to enable
automated tracking and reporting of fuel use and Scope 1 GHG emissions. These climate-resilient strategies, including
hybridisation of selected vessels in the existing fleet, offer potentially lower-carbon options to the Group’s customers.
Management does not consider there to be a significant risk that the Group’s vessels will become obsolete due to climate
considerations as they form a key part in the transition to the provision of sustainable energy.
Impairment charges are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement in the expense category consistent with the
function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment
charges may require to be reversed. If such an indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of the recoverable amount.
A previously recognised impairment charge is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment charge was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of
the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment charge been recognised for the asset in prior periods. Any such
reversal is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment
of specific assets:
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
160
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Goodwill
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is an indication of impairment. Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be
impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date,
allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs, or group of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the combination.
Each CGU, or group of CGUs, to which the goodwill is allocated initially represents the lowest level within the Group at
which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than an operating segment determined
in accordance with IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’. If circumstances give rise to a change in the composition of CGUs and a
reallocation is justified, goodwill is reallocated based on relative value at the time of the change in composition. Following any
reorganisation, the CGU cannot be larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with IFRS 8. Impairment is
determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, to which the goodwill relates. Recoverable
amounts are determined based on value-in-use calculations using discounted pre-tax cash flow projections based on risk-
adjusted financial forecasts approved by the Executive Management Team.
As cash flow projections are risk-adjusted for CGU-specific risks, risk premiums are not applied to the discount rate which
is applied to all CGUs. The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is a pre-tax rate and reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money, risks specific to the Group and a normalised capital structure for the industry.
Where the recoverable amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is
recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU, or group of CGUs, and part of the
operation within that CGU is disposed, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed is included in the carrying amount
of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed in this circumstance is
measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the CGU retained.
Associates and joint ventures
At each reporting date the Group determines whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in an associate or
joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as being the difference between
the estimated fair value of the associate or joint venture and its carrying amount. The resultant impairment charge is recognised
in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Financial instruments
Classification and measurement
The Group’s financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, construction contract assets,
other receivables, derivative financial instruments and equity investments which are classified as other financial assets. The Group’s
financial liabilities include trade and other payables, contingent consideration, borrowings and derivative financial instruments.
Initial measurement is based upon one of four IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ models: amortised cost; fair value through profit
or loss (FVPL); fair value through other comprehensive income (with recycling of accumulated gains and losses); or fair value
through other comprehensive income (without recycling of accumulated gains and losses).
Classification and subsequent measurement is dependent upon the business model under which the Group holds and
manages the financial asset; and whether the contractual cash flows resulting from the instrument represent ‘solely
payments of principal and interest’ (the ‘SPPI criterion’).
All financial assets are classified at initial recognition and are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs, with the
exception of those classified as FVPL. Classification as amortised cost is applicable where the instruments are held within a
business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows
resulting from the instrument consist solely of principal and interest. Debt financial assets are subsequently measured at
FVPL, amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) depending on classification.
Equity instruments are reported as other financial assets and are subsequently measured at FVPL when not considered to
be strategic in nature. Where the Group considers other financial assets to be strategic in nature and is expecting to hold
them for the foreseeable future, the investments are measured at FVOCI with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss
on derecognition.
All financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition and are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs, with
the exception of those classified as FVPL. Financial liabilities are measured at FVPL when they meet the definition of held-for-
trading or when they are designated as such on initial recognition. Otherwise, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

3. Material accounting policies continued
Classification and measurement continued
The Group enters into forward foreign currency contracts in order to manage its foreign currency exposures; these
are measured at FVPL. The Group regularly enters into multi-currency contracts from which the cash flows may lead
to embedded foreign exchange derivatives in non-financial host contracts, carried at FVPL. The Group reassesses the
existence of an embedded derivative if the terms of the host financial instrument change significantly. The fair values of
derivative financial instruments are measured on bid prices for assets held and offer prices for issued liabilities based on
values quoted in active markets. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments which do not qualify for hedge
accounting are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement within other gains and losses.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash on hand, money market funds, and short-term highly liquid assets
with an original maturity of three months or less and which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Utilised revolving
credit facilities are included within current borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortised cost.
Inventories
Inventories comprise consumables, materials and non-critical spares and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are the Group’s own equity instruments which are repurchased and shown within equity at cost, using the
first-in first-out basis. Gains or losses realised or incurred on the purchase, sale, reallocation or cancellation of the Group’s
own equity instruments are recognised within equity. No gains or losses are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past transaction or
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised represents the best estimate of the
expenditure expected to be required to settle the present obligation. Estimates are determined by the judgement of management
supplemented by the experience of similar transactions, and, in some cases, advice from independent experts. Contingent
liabilities are disclosed in Note 32 ‘Commitments and contingent liabilities’ but not recognised until they meet the criteria
for recognition as a provision. Where the Group is virtually certain that some, or all of, a provision will be reimbursed, that
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset. The expense relating to any provision is reflected in the Consolidated
Income Statement at an amount reflective of the risks specific to the liability. Where the provision is discounted, any increase
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost in the Group’s Consolidated Income Statement.
The following criteria are applied for the recognition and measurement of significant classes of provisions:
Onerous contracts
The Group recognises provisions for onerous contracts once the underlying event or conditions leading to the contract
becoming onerous are probable and a reliable estimate can be made. Onerous fixed-price contract provisions are assessed
in accordance with IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’. Onerous provisions are calculated on a
least net cost basis, which includes unavoidable costs only, while comparing these costs to the cost of cancelling a contract
and incurring early termination fees. The cost of fulfilling a contract includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling the
contract and an allocation of other costs which relate directly to fulfilling the contract.
Legal claims
In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to various claims, litigation and complaints. An associated provision is
recognised if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding during each period excluding treasury shares. The potentially dilutive effect of outstanding performance shares
is reflected as share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The Group applies IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ and assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if
the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The
Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-
value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right-
to-use the underlying assets.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
162
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease, which is the date the underlying asset is
available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at, or before, the commencement date less any lease
incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and
the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets which vary as follows:
Vessels 2 to 5 years
Operating equipment 2 to 5 years
Land and buildings 3 to 10 years
The cost of a right-of-use asset includes an estimate of costs expected to be incurred by the Group on termination of
the lease to reinstate the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group
assumes the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having utilised the underlying
asset during the period. Right-of-use assets are subject to a review for indicators of impairment at least annually.
Lease liabilities
The Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term.
The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on
an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the
exercise price of purchase options reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group. Variable lease payments that do not
depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in
which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses an incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date where the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for lease payments made.
In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a
change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Remeasurements
resulting from a change in the lease term are determined by discounting the revised lease payments using the interest rate
implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the incremental borrowing
rate at the date of reassessment.
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases, which are those leases which have a
lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. The Group also applies
the low-value assets recognition exemption to assets which are considered to be low value, as defined by IFRS 16 ‘Leases’.
Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses in the Consolidated
Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies which are described in Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’,
management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions regarding the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the period in which the estimate is
revised in line with IAS 8 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’.
Revenue recognition
Group revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 was $7.1 billion (2024: $6.8 billion). The Group’s accounting policies
under IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ are detailed in Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’. The Group
accounts for long-term construction contracts for engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning (EPIC)
projects using the percentage-of-completion method, which is standard practice in the industry. Contract revenue, total
cost estimates and estimates of physical progression are reviewed by management on a monthly basis. Any adjustments
made as a result of these reviews are reflected in contract revenue or contract costs in the reporting period, based on the
percentage-of-completion method.
To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported contract revenue or costs,
a charge or credit is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement; amounts in prior periods are not restated. Such a
charge or credit may be significant depending on the size of the project, the stage of project completion and the size of the
adjustment. Additional information that enhances and refines the estimating process is often obtained after the balance
sheet date but before the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which may result in an adjustment to the
Consolidated Financial Statements based on events, favourable or unfavourable, occurring after the balance sheet date.

4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty continued
Revenue recognition continued
The percentage-of-completion method requires management to make reliable estimates of physical progression, costs
incurred, full project contract costs and full project contract revenue. The Group’s Project Monthly Status Reports (PMSRs)
evaluate the likely outcome of each individual project for the purpose of making reliable estimates of revenue, cost and
progression, measured either by cost incurred to date or physical progression. A key element of the PMSRs is the estimate
of contingency. Contingency is an estimate of the costs required to address the potential future outcome of identified project
risks. The Group uses a systematic approach in estimating contingency based on project size. This approach utilises a project
specific risk register in order to identify and assess the likelihood and impact of these risks. The most significant risks and
uncertainties in the Group’s projects typically relate to the offshore phase of operations. Identified risks that materialise may
result in increased costs. Contingency associated with identified risks are removed from the full project cost estimate
throughout the remaining life of the project if the identified risks have not, or are not, expected to materialise.
Goodwill carrying amount
At 31 December 2025, goodwill of $157.0 million was recognised on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet (2024: $183.7 million).
Goodwill is reviewed at least annually to assess whether there is objective evidence to indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill
requires impairment at a CGU level. The impairment review is performed on a value-in-use basis which requires the estimation of
future cash flows. Further details relating to the impairment review process are disclosed in Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’
and Note 12 ‘Goodwill’.
Property, plant and equipment
At 31 December 2025, property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $3.8 billion was recognised on the Group’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet (2024: $4.0 billion). Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciation is
recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Management uses its experience to estimate
the remaining useful economic life and residual value of an asset.
A review for indicators of impairment is performed at each reporting date. When events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment may not be recoverable, a review for impairment is carried out by
management. Where the value-in-use method is used to determine the recoverable amount of an asset, management uses its
judgement in determining the CGU to which the asset belongs, or whether the asset can be considered a CGU in its own
right. The level of aggregation of assets is a significant assumption made by management and includes consideration of
which assets generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Management has determined that vessels are not CGUs individually as they do not generate cash inflows independently of
other Group assets. Once the CGU has been determined management uses its judgement in determining the value-in-use
of the CGU, as detailed in Note 12 ‘Goodwill’. Where an asset is considered a CGU in its own right management uses its
judgement to estimate future asset utilisation, cash flows, remaining life and the discount rate used.
Recognition of provisions and disclosure of contingent liabilities
At 31 December 2025, provisions with a carrying amount of $77.9 million were recognised on the Group’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet (2024: $92.1 million). In the ordinary course of business, the Group becomes involved in contract disputes
from time-to-time due to the nature of its activities as a contracting business involved in multiple long-term projects at any
given time. The Group recognises provisions to cover the expected risk of loss to the extent that negative outcomes are
likely and reliable estimates can be made. The final outcomes of these contract disputes are subject to uncertainties as to
whether or not they develop into formal legal action and therefore the resulting liabilities may exceed the liability anticipated
by management.
Furthermore, the Group may be involved in legal proceedings from time-to-time; these proceedings are incidental to the
ordinary conduct of its business. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not
predictable with assurance. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of any litigation could require the Group to
incur additional expenditures in excess of provisions that it may have previously recognised.
Management uses its judgement in determining whether the Group should recognise a provision or disclose a contingent
liability. These judgements include whether the Group has a present obligation and the probability that an outflow of economic
resource is required to settle the obligation. Management may also use its judgement to determine the amount of the obligation
or contingent liability. Management uses external advisers to assist with some of these judgements. Further details relating to
provisions and contingent liabilities are shown in Note 31 ‘Provisions’ and Note 32 ‘Commitments and contingent liabilities’.
Taxation
At 31 December 2025, non-current deferred tax assets were $119.3 million (2024: $93.6 million), current tax assets were
$157.4 million (2024: $105.3 million), non-current deferred tax liabilities were $121.5 million (2024: $87.3 million) and current
tax liabilities were $113.9 million (2024: $125.0 million). The Group is subject to corporate income tax in numerous jurisdictions
and significant judgement is required in calculating the consolidated tax position. There are transactions for which the
ultimate tax determination is uncertain and for which the Group makes provisions based on internal assessments, experience
and appropriate external advice, including in respect of the recognition of assets relating to the future recoverability of tax
losses and other attributes.

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Each year a detailed review of the Group’s uncertain tax treatments and provisions is undertaken in accordance with IFRIC
23. Where the outcome of these reviews differs from the amounts previously recorded, the difference will impact the tax
charge in the period in which the outcome is determined. Details of key judgements and other issues considered are set out
in Note 9 ‘Taxation’.
5. Segment information
The Group operates with an organisational structure comprising three business units: Subsea and Conventional, Renewables
and Corporate. These business units represent the Group’s operating segments and are defined as follows:
Subsea and Conventional
The Subsea and Conventional business unit includes:
x Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF) activities related to the engineering, procurement, installation and
commissioning of highly complex subsea oil and gas systems in deep waters, including the long-term contracts for PLSVs
in Brazil;
x Conventional services including the fabrication, installation, extension and refurbishment of fixed and floating platforms
and associated pipelines in shallow water environments;
x Activities associated with the provision of inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) services, integrity management of
subsea infrastructure and remote intervention support;
x Activities associated with heavy lifting operations and decommissioning of redundant offshore structures;
x Activities associated with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS); and
x Share of net income of the Group’s associate, OneSubsea.
This segment includes costs, including depreciation, amortisation, impairment charges and impairment reversals, related to
owned and long-term leased vessels, equipment and offshore personnel deployed in Subsea and Conventional activities.
Renewables
The Renewables business unit comprises activities primarily related to the delivery of fixed offshore wind farm projects
and floating wind activities. Activities include the procurement and installation of offshore wind turbine foundations and inter-
array cables as well as heavy lifting operations and heavy transportation services for renewables structures. This segment
includes costs, including depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges, related to owned and long-term leased vessels,
equipment and offshore personnel deployed in Renewables activities.
Corporate
The Corporate business unit includes Group-wide activities, and associated costs, including captive insurance activities,
operational support, corporate services and costs associated with discrete events such as restructuring. The Corporate
business unit also includes the results of the Group’s autonomous subsidiaries, Xodus and 4Subsea, and activities in emerging
energies such as hydrogen. A significant portion of the Corporate business unit’s costs are allocated to the Subsea and
Conventional and Renewables business units based on a percentage of external revenue.
The accounting policies of the business units are the same as the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3
‘Material accounting policies’.
Allocations of costs also occur between segments based on the physical location of personnel. The Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group. The CODM is assisted by the other members of the Executive
Management Team. Neither total assets nor total liabilities by operating segment are regularly provided to the CODM and
consequently no such disclosure is shown.

The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset in respect of $105.3 million of losses in Brazil (2024: $45.1 million) out of a total of
$313.5 million, based on its forecast profitability; and continues to recognise $34.2 million of losses in the UK (2024: $221.5 million),
having utilised $187.3 million of previously recognised losses in the year.
Included in the above losses for which no asset is recognised were $1.6 billion (2024: $1.5 billion) in Luxembourg. Other jurisdictions
with significant accumulated unrecognised losses include Saudi Arabia ($218.7 million), and Singapore ($134.4 million), the
former as a result of uncertainty over the timing of future profitability, the latter being restricted in their utilisation against a
vessel chartering trade.
In addition, the Group has other unrecognised deferred tax assets of $39.8 million (2024: $86.8 million) in respect of other
temporary differences. These primarily relate to fixed asset timing differences in Nigeria and the Netherlands.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025
172
GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
No deferred tax has been recognised in respect of taxable temporary differences related to the unremitted earnings of the
Group’s subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures where remittance is not contemplated and where the timing of
the distribution is within the control of the Group. The aggregate amount of unremitted earnings giving rise to such temporary
differences for which deferred tax liabilities were not recognised at 31 December 2025 was $343.6 million (2024: $258.7 million).
Tonnage tax regime
The Group has elected to have qualifying vessel-related activities taxed under tonnage tax regimes in the UK, Norway and
the Netherlands. The Group has re-elected into tonnage tax in the UK until 2030.
In 2025, the Group’s elections resulted in a negative impact on the Group’s tax charge of $15.5 million (2024: positive impact of
$42.5 million) primarily driven by tax charges on vessels as a result of moving between qualifying and non-qualifying structures.
Uncertain tax treatments
The Group’s business operations are carried out worldwide and, as such, the Group is subject to the jurisdiction of a
significant number of tax authorities at any point in time.
The Group routinely has to manage tax risks in respect of permanent establishments, transfer pricing and other international
tax issues. In common with other multinational companies, the conflict between the Group’s global operating model and the
jurisdictional approach of tax authorities can result in uncertainty as to the ultimate acceptability of the treatment of tax matters.
This often results in the Group’s filing positions being subject to audit, enquiry and possible re-assessment. During 2025, the
Group was subject to audits and disputes in, among others, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. These audits
are at various stages of completion. The Group’s policy is to cooperate fully with the relevant tax authorities while seeking to
defend its tax positions.
The Group provides for the amount of taxes that it considers probable of being payable as a result of such audits and for
which a reasonable estimate can be made. Furthermore, for each reporting period management completes a detailed review
of uncertain tax treatments across the Group and makes provisions based on the probability of a liability arising. It is possible
that the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties could result in tax charges or credits that are materially higher or lower
than the amounts provided for.
In the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a net increase in the financial impact of uncertain tax treatments
of $10.3 million (2024: $10.9 million) as a result of revisions to estimated future obligations.
OECD Pillar Two
The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules, and it applies the IAS 12 exception to recognising and
disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Under the legislation, the
Group is required to pay top-up tax on profits of its subsidiaries that are taxed at an effective tax rate of less than 15 per
cent. There are three transitional safe harbours which will apply through 2026, being a de minimis test, the routine profits
test and the ability to undertake a simplified effective tax rate calculation. After applying these safe harbours, the Group
does not believe it has any exposure to the legislation as it does not leverage off low tax jurisdictions, where it does not
have relevant substance.
The Group has elected to be taxed under three European tonnage tax regimes and the activities of the Group’s fleet can
extend beyond the definition of international shipping (being the transportation of passengers or cargo by ships in international
traffic) set out in the OECD model rules. As such, exposure to this tax could exist in the UK, the Netherlands, and Norway, as
well as the Isle of Man, where the Group’s captive insurance company is incorporated, but the level of other, non-tonnage tax,
activities in each of the UK, the Netherlands and Norway, together with the level of substance maintained in those jurisdictions
means that no top-up tax is expected other than in respect of Tartaruga Insurance Limited and for which a current year
provision of $0.7 million has been made in 2025.
10. Dividends

11. Earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company by the
weighted average number of common shares in issue during the year, excluding shares repurchased by the Group and held
as treasury shares (Note 25 ‘Treasury shares’).
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume
conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares. The Group’s potentially dilutive common shares include those related to
performance shares.
The net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per
share calculations were as follows:

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
For financial management and reporting purposes, the Group is organised into management regions. Management regions
are aligned with the Group’s business units which are used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to allocate
resources and appraise performance.
The Group has nine CGUs which are aligned with management regions. At 31 December 2025 the Group’s CGUs comprised:
x CGUs for GPC East, Brazil and GPC West, Gulf of Mexico, Norway, and UK GIRM which include activities connected with
the performance of regional projects including SURF activities (related to the engineering, procurement, construction and
installation of offshore systems), the results of the Group’s associate, OneSubsea, Conventional services (including the
fabrication, installation, extension and refurbishment of platforms and pipelines in shallow water), the long-term PLSV
contracts in Brazil, activities connected with the provision of inspection, repair and maintenance services, integrity
management of subsea infrastructure and remote intervention support;
x Floating Wind CGU which includes activities related to floating wind solutions;
x Xodus CGU which includes activities related to engineering services, advisory services and environmental support;
x 4Subsea CGU which includes activities connected with integrity management of subsea infrastructure; and
x Renewables CGU which includes activities connected with three specialist segments of the fixed offshore wind market:
the installation of offshore wind turbine foundations and inter-array cables, heavy lifting and heavy transportation
operations related to the renewables sector.
The Group performed its annual goodwill impairment review at 31 December 2025. Subsequent to this review the carrying
amounts of the goodwill were allocated to the following CGUs:

On 21 February 2025, an indirect subsidiary of Subsea 7 S.A. acquired the entire share capital of Daymark Energy Advisors
Inc. The transaction resulted in the recognition of $1.9 million of goodwill, which was included within the Xodus CGU.
Following the Group’s annual impairment review, impairment charges of $17.6 million were recognised in the Xodus CGU. The
impairment charges were driven by a decrease in the recoverable amounts as a result of a challenging business environment,
in the short to medium term.
At 31 December 2025, there was no goodwill associated with the Floating Wind, GPC East, Brazil and GPC West and Xodus CGUs.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs were determined based on a value-in-use calculation using pre-tax, risk-adjusted cash
flow projections approved by the Executive Management Team covering a five-year period from 2026 to 2030. These
projections include certain considerations for climate-related risks and opportunities. Future uncertainty around climate-
related risks continue to be monitored including policy, regulatory, legal, technological, market and societal considerations.
The present value of future cash flows is most sensitive to the terminal value assumptions; management considers that these
represent an appropriate balance between the oil and gas business and the growing renewables sector within the transition
to a lower-carbon economy. Cash flows beyond the five-year period were extrapolated in perpetuity using a 2.0% (2024: 2.0%)
growth rate for the Corporate and Subsea and Conventional business units and a 4.0% (2024: 4.0%) growth rate for the
Renewables business unit to determine the terminal value.
The pre-tax discount rate applied to the risk-adjusted cash flow projections was 11.9% (2024: 12.1%). Further information is
included in Note 1 ‘General information’.
Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations
Management considers that the calculations of value-in-use for all CGUs are most sensitive to the following key assumptions:
x Adjusted EBITDA forecasts;
x capital expenditure forecasts;
x the pre-tax discount rate; and
x the growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows.

SUBSEA 7 S.A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GLOSSARY

12. Goodwill continued
Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations continued
Adjusted EBITDA forecasts – the Adjusted EBITDA forecast for each CGU is dependent on a combination of factors
including market size, market share, contractual backlog, gross margins, future project awards, asset utilisation and an
assessment of the impacts of competition within the respective segments. Assumptions are based on a combination of
internal and external studies, management judgements and historical information, adjusted for any foreseen changes in
market conditions.
Replacement capital expenditure forecasts – the capital expenditure forecast for the Group is dependent on a combination
of factors including market size, asset utilisation and asset age. Assumptions are based on a combination of internal and
external studies, management judgements and historical information, adjusted for any foreseen changes in market conditions.
Replacement capital expenditure represents the amounts estimated to maintain the function of the assets in the CGU.
Pre-tax discount rate – the pre-tax discount rate was estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Group,
amended to reflect a normalised capital structure for the energy sector. Risk premiums were not reflected in the discount
rate applied to individual CGUs as the CGU cash flow projections were risk adjusted.
Growth rate estimates – the growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flow projections beyond the five-year period is broadly
consistent with market expectations for long-term growth in the industry and assumes no significant change in the Group’s
market share and the range of services and products provided.
Sensitivity to changes in key assumptions
In determining the value-in-use recoverable amount for each CGU, sensitivities have been applied to key assumptions. The
industry in which the Group operates is cyclical and highly dependent on energy prices; this could lead to changes in future
cash flows which are greater than the sensitivity ranges applied.
In the performance of sensitivity analysis the impacts of the following changes to key assumptions were assessed:
x forecast Adjusted EBITDA – a 10% increase and decrease in the assumptions during the five-year period from 2026 to
2030, and the Adjusted EBITDA upon which terminal values have been calculated;
x replacement capital expenditure forecast – a 25% increase and decrease in the forecast replacement capital expenditure
assumptions during the five-year period from 2026 to 2030, and the capital expenditure upon which terminal values have
been calculated;
x pre-tax discount rate – an increase and decrease by 2 percentage points; and
x growth rate – an increase and decrease by 2 percentage points.
The impact on goodwill as a result of changes to the key assumptions used in the sensitivity analysis is as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA
Discount rate
Capital expenditure
Long-term growth rate

CGUs not impaired and not sensitive to impairment
Changes to the key assumptions used in the sensitivity analysis would not, in isolation, cause the recoverable amount of the
4Subsea, Gulf of Mexico, Norway and UK GIRM CGUs to be materially less than their carrying amount.
The Floating Wind, GPC East, Brazil and GPC West and Xodus CGUs have no goodwill at 31 December 2025, therefore any future
changes in the key assumptions, in isolation, would not result in an impairment charge being recognised against goodwill.

The table above includes assets under construction of $105.1 million at 31 December 2025 (2024: $123.3 million).
An impairment review was performed on the balances of property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2025 and
impairments totalling $10.1 million (2024: $14.2 million) were recognised where the future recoverable amounts were
reassessed and reduced. The impairment charges relate primarily to vessel-related equipment. The impairments were
recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement within operating expenses. Recoverable amount is defined as the higher
of value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal and was determined by management based on an assessment of internal
estimates and independent external valuations.

22. Construction contracts continued
Revenue recognised which was included in construction contract liabilities at the beginning of the year of $348.2 million
(2024: $362.9 million) represents amounts included within the construction contract liabilities balance at 1 January 2025
which were recognised as revenue during the year. Revenue recognised from performance obligations satisfied in previous
years of $103.7 million (2024: $113.6 million) represents revenue recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement for
projects which were considered operationally complete at the prior year end.
Significant movements in the construction contract asset and construction contract liability balances
The Group has construction contract asset and construction contract liability balances as a result of long-term projects in
the Subsea and Conventional and Renewables business units. Details of the Group’s treatment of performance obligations
are disclosed in Note 3 ‘Material accounting policies’. Due to the number and size of projects within the Group, construction
contract asset and liability balances can vary significantly at each reporting date. Cumulative adjustments to revenue
are most commonly caused by a change to the estimate of the transaction price due to a reassessment of the constraint
to variable consideration, awarded variation orders, scope changes or amendments to the cost profile. The decrease of
$172.0 million in construction contract assets and the $309.2 million increase in construction contract liabilities during 2025
was driven by the phasing of the execution of work and associated billing on fixed-price contracts executed by the Group.
Construction contract assets
An analysis of the ageing of construction contract assets at the balance sheet date has not been provided. Due to the nature
of the balances and the fact that the Group invoices on a milestone basis, the ageing of construction contract assets is not
reflective of the credit risk associated with these balances. At 31 December 2025, the allowance for expected credit losses
and the allowance for credit impairment in respect of construction contract assets were $nil (2024: $nil).
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations (unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied) was as follows:

The claims provision comprises a number of claims made against the Group including disputes, personal injury cases and tax
claims, where the timing of resolution is uncertain.
The decommissioning provision is mainly in relation to the Group’s obligation to restore leased vessels to their original, or
agreed, condition. The cash outflows related to the provision are expected to occur in the years in which the leases cease,
which range from 2026 to 2028.
The onerous fixed-price contract provision relates to projects where total forecast costs-at-completion exceed the expected
transaction price. The cash outflows related to the provision recognised at 31 December 2025 are expected to occur during
2026 and 2027.
Other provisions mainly relate to onerous day-rate contracts.

Contingent liabilities not recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
The Group is subject to tax audits and receives tax assessments in a number of jurisdictions where it has, or has had,
operations. The estimation of the ultimate outcome of these audits and disputed tax assessments is complex and subjective.
The likely outcome of the audits and associated cash outflow, if any, may be impacted by technical uncertainty and the
availability of supporting documentation.
The Group’s operations in Mexico are subject to tax audits across several years. At 31 December 2025, the amount assessed
by the Mexican tax authorities in relation to 2014, including penalties and interest, was MXN 3,639.3 million, equivalent to
$202.4 million (2024: MXN 3,639.3 million, equivalent to $179.2 million). At 31 December 2025, and as a consequence of
current year profitability, a provision of MXN 283.5 million, equivalent to $15.8 million was recognised within the Consolidated
Balance Sheet (2024: MXN 143.1 million, equivalent to $7.0 million). At 31 December 2025, a contingent liability of MXN 589.4
million, equivalent to $32.8 million (2024: MXN 589.4 million, equivalent to $29.0 million), has been disclosed related to the
2014 assessment as the disclosure criteria have been met however, management and local advisors believe that the
likelihood of payment is not probable.
Between 2009 and 2024, the Group’s Brazilian businesses were audited and formally assessed for Imposto sobre Circulaçao
de Mercadorias e Serviços (ICMS) and federal taxes including import duty by the Brazilian state and federal tax authorities.
The amount assessed, including penalties and interest, at 31 December 2025 amounted to BRL 966.7 million, equivalent
to $174.4 million (2024: BRL 897.0 million, equivalent to $142.5 million). The Group has challenged these assessments. A
contingent liability has been disclosed for the total amounts assessed as the disclosure criteria have been met; however,
management believes that the likelihood of payment is not probable.
Between 2018 and 2025, the Group’s Brazilian business received several labour claims. The amounts claimed or assessed
at 31 December 2025 totalled BRL 155.3 million, equivalent to $28.0 million (2024: BRL 166.3 million, equivalent to $26.5
million). The Group has challenged these claims. A contingent liability has been disclosed for BRL 121.4 million, equivalent
to $21.9 million (2024: BRL 115.0 million, equivalent to $18.3 million) as the disclosure criteria have been met; however,
management believes that the likelihood of payment is not probable. A provision of BRL 33.9 million, equivalent to $6.1 million
(2024: BRL 51.3 million, equivalent to $8.2 million) was recognised within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at 31 December
2025 as the IAS 37 recognition criteria were met.
In the ordinary course of business, various claims, legal actions and complaints have been filed against the Group in addition
to those specifically referred to above. The Group typically also provides contractual warranties for the repair of defects
which are identified during a contract and within a defined period thereafter. Warranty periods vary dependent on contract
type and operating segment; engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning (EPIC) oil and gas contracts typically
attract shorter periods than EPIC renewables contracts. Liability exposure levels are monitored by management and risk
transfer mechanisms arranged where deemed appropriate. Although the final resolution of any of these matters could have a
material effect on its operating results for a particular reporting period, management believes that it is not probable that
these matters would materially impact the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contingent liabilities recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
As part of the accounting for the business combination of Pioneer Lining Technology Limited, the Group was required to
recognise a contingent liability at the acquisition date, in respect of contingent amounts payable to a third party following
the acquisition of intangible assets in 2009. Management now considers this previously recognised contingent liability to
have expired. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the contingent liability of $0.4 million was derecognised in
full and recognised within the Group’s Consolidated Income Statement within other gains and losses.

Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration relates to amounts payable in connection with business combinations. The amounts payable
are contingent on future events and are determined based on current expectations of the achievement of specific targets
and milestones.
Financial instruments elected to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise investments in equity securities not held for
trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election, at initial recognition, to recognise changes in fair value
through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss as these investments are strategic in nature.
Management concluded that due to the nature of these investments, there are a wide range of possible fair value measurements
and in some cases there may be insufficient recent information available to enable the Group to accurately measure fair
value. Management reviews investments at least annually to ensure the carrying amount can be supported by expected
future cash flows and has concluded that cost is considered to represent the best estimate of fair value of each investment
within a range of possible outcomes.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED
33. Financial instruments continued
Financial instruments elected to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income continued
Upon disposal or derecognition of these equity investments, any associated balance accumulated within other
comprehensive income will be reclassified to retained earnings. Equity investments totalling $5.4 million (2024: $nil) were
derecognised during the year, and subsequently $5.3 million was reclassified from other reserves to retained earnings.
During the year, no dividends were recognised within profit or loss in connection with the financial investments.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
The Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met: the asset is held within
a business model with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.
Financial risk management objectives
The Group monitors and manages the financial risks relating to its financial operations through internal risk reports which
analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (consisting of currency risk and fair
value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using a variety
of financial instruments to hedge these financial risk exposures. Derivative financial instruments are used exclusively for
hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.
Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates. The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risks,
including forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on future revenue, operating
expenditures and capital expenditures.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, there was no significant change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the
manner in which it managed and measured the risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Group conducts operations in many countries and, as a result, is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to
revenue and expenditure in the normal course of business. The Group has in place risk management policies that seek to
limit the adverse effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its financial performance.
The Group’s reporting currency is the US dollar. Revenue and expenses are principally denominated in the reporting currency
of the Group. The Group also has significant operations denominated in Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Euro and
Norwegian krone as well as other cash flows in Angolan kwanza, Australian dollar, Azerbaijan manat, Canadian dollar, Central
African CFA franc, Chinese yuan, Danish krone, Egyptian pound, Ghanaian cedi, Korean won, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican
peso, Nigerian naira, Qatar rial, Saudi Arabian riyal, Singaporean dollar, Taiwan dollar, Turkish lira, UAE dirham and West
African CFA franc.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Group considers that its principal currency exposure is to movements in the US dollar against other currencies. The US
dollar is the Group’s reporting currency, the functional currency of many of its subsidiaries and the currency of a significant
volume of the Group’s cash flows.
At 31 December 2025, the Group performed a sensitivity analysis to indicate the extent to which net income and equity
would be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and other currencies in which the Group
transacts. The analysis is based on a strengthening of the US dollar by 10% against each of the other currencies in which
the Group has significant assets and liabilities at the end of each respective year. A movement of 10% reflects a reasonably
possible sensitivity when compared to historical movements over a five-year time-frame. The Group’s analysis of the impact
on net income in each year is based on monetary assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the end of each
respective year.
The Group’s analysis of the impact on equity includes the impacts on the translation reserve in respect of intra-group
balances that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation. The amounts disclosed have not been adjusted for the
impact of taxation.
A 10% strengthening in the US dollar exchange rate against other currencies in which the Group transacts would increase
net foreign currency exchange losses reported in other gains and losses by $25.5 million for the year ended 31 December
2025 (2024: $65.3 million). The impact would be a decrease in reported equity of $25.6 million (2024: $73.6 million).

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Forward foreign exchange contracts
The Group primarily enters into forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of up to three years, to manage the risk
associated with transactions with a foreign exchange exposure risk. These transactions consist of highly probable cash flow
exposures relating to revenue, operating expenditure and capital expenditure.
The Group does not use derivative instruments to hedge the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations from its net investments
in foreign subsidiaries.

The Group documents its assessment of whether the hedging instrument which is used in a hedging relationship is effective
in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item, on a prospective basis. The cumulative effective portion is deferred
in equity within other reserves as hedging reserves in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The resulting cumulative gains
or losses will be reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement upon the recognition of the underlying transaction or
the discontinuance of the hedging relationship. Movements in respect of effective hedges are shown in the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Equity. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recognised
in the Consolidated Income Statement and the net amount for the year was $0.9 million (2024: $0.5 million). Hedge
ineffectiveness can arise from differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments,
different indexes linked to the hedged risk of the hedged items and hedging instruments, counterparties’ credit risk
differently impacting fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items or changes to the forecast
amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments. There is an economic relationship between the
hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the commodity forward contracts match the terms of the
expected highly probable forecast transactions.

33. Financial instruments continued
Hedge accounting continued
The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the commodity forward
contracts is identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Group uses the hypothetical
derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value
of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
At 31 December 2025 and at 31 December 2024, none of the Group’s outstanding external forward foreign exchange
contracts had been designated as hedging instruments.
Commodity hedging
The Group enters into commodity hedging to manage risk on specific exposures, swapping floating price to fixed price.
At 31 December 2025, there were no commodity trades recognised within financial assets (2024: $nil) and $4.6 million
within financial liabilities (2024: $3.4 million).
Embedded derivatives
The Group regularly enters into multi-currency contracts from which the cash flows may lead to embedded foreign exchange
derivatives in non-financial host contracts, carried at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded foreign currency derivatives,
arising from multi-currency contracts, are separated where the host contract does not qualify as a financial asset, where the
transactional currency differs from the functional currencies of the involved parties and a separate instrument, with the same
terms as the embedded derivative, would meet the definition of a derivative.
The fair values of the embedded derivatives at 31 December 2025 amounted to $75.0 million related to financial assets
(2024: $136.6 million) and $44.1 million related to financial liabilities (2024: $36.5 million). Movements were reflected on
the Consolidated Income Statement in net foreign currency gains and losses within other gains and losses.
Interest rate risk management
The Group places funds in the money markets to generate an investment return with a range of maturities (generally less
than six months) ensuring a high level of liquidity and reducing the credit risk associated with the deposits. Changes in the
interest rates associated with these deposits will impact the interest income generated.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Group’s facilities, as disclosed in Note 27 ‘Borrowings’, utilise Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the
reference rate for borrowings.
At 31 December 2025, the Group performed a sensitivity analysis on borrowings to indicate the extent to which a change in
SOFR would affect net income and equity. The analysis is based on a movement in the SOFR of 1%, with all other variables
held constant. A movement of 1% reflects a reasonably possible sensitivity when compared to historical movements.
A 1% movement in SOFR would impact interest on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost reported in finance costs
by $6.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: $8.3 million). Reported equity would be impacted by $5.7 million
(2024: $7.0 million).
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will default on its contractual obligations
and fail to make payment as obligations fall due resulting in financial loss for the Group. Credit risk arises from the financial
assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and derivative financial instruments.
The maximum exposure of the Group to credit-related losses on financial instruments is the aggregate of the carrying
amount of the financial assets as summarised on page 190.
Financial instruments and cash deposits
The Group has adopted a policy of transacting with creditworthy financial institutions as a means of mitigating the risk
of financial loss from defaults. Credit ratings are supplied by independent rating agencies. The Group’s exposure and
the credit ratings of its counterparties are continually monitored and the aggregate value of transactions undertaken is
distributed among approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and
approved on an annual basis and are monitored daily. The Group uses credit ratings as well as other publicly available
financial information and its own trading records to rate its major counterparties.
The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of
the counterparties.

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
Trade receivables and contract assets
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Group’s
credit risk management practices are designed to address the risk characteristics of key financial assets. Credit exposure
is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis and are monitored daily. In respect
of its customers and suppliers, the Group uses credit ratings as well as other publicly available financial information and
its own trading records to rate its major counterparties. The assessment of the Group’s exposure to credit risk includes
consideration of historical and forward-looking information regarding both the financial position and performance of the
counterparty and the general macroeconomic environment.
Expected credit loss assessment for financial assets
Allowances are recognised as required under the IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ impairment model and continue to be carried
until there are indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
For construction contract assets and trade and other receivables which do not contain a significant financing component,
the Group applies the simplified approach. This approach requires the allowance for expected credit losses to be recognised
at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For other financial assets the Group applies the general approach
to providing for expected credit losses as prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the recognition of an allowance for the
estimated expected loss resulting from default in the subsequent 12-month period. Exposure to credit loss is monitored
on a continual basis and, where material, the allowance for expected credit losses is adjusted to reflect the risk of default
during the lifetime of the financial asset should a significant change in credit risk be identified.
In determining expected credit losses, financial assets with the same counterparty are grouped and where appropriate
expected credit losses are measured on a collective basis. In determining the level of allowance the Group uses an internal
credit risk grading framework and applies judgement based on a variety of data in order to predict the likely risk of default.
The Group defines default as full or partial non-payment of contractual cash flows. The determination of expected credit
losses is derived from historical and forward-looking information which includes external ratings, audited financial statements
and other publicly available information about customers. Determination of the level of expected credit loss incorporates a
review of factors which can be indicative of default, including the nature of the counterparty (for example, national energy
companies, international energy companies or independent energy companies) and the individual industry sectors in which
the counterparty operates.
The majority of the Group’s financial assets are expected to have a low risk of default. A review of the historical occurrence
of credit losses indicates that credit losses are insignificant due to the size of the Group’s customers and the nature of
the services provided. The outlook for the energy industry is not expected to result in a significant change in the Group’s
exposure to credit losses. As lifetime expected credit losses are not expected to be significant the Group has opted not
to adopt the practical expedient available under IFRS 9 to utilise a provision matrix for the recognition of lifetime expected
credit losses on trade receivables. Allowances are calculated on a case-by-case basis based on the credit risk applicable
to individual counterparties.
Exposure to credit risk is continually monitored in order to identify financial assets which experience a significant change in
credit risk. While assessing for significant changes in credit risk the Group makes use of operational simplifications permitted
by IFRS 9. The Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk if the asset has a low risk of default; the counterparty
has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term; and no adverse changes in economic
or business conditions have been identified which in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the
counterparty to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. Where a financial asset becomes more than 30 days past its due
date additional procedures are performed to determine the reasons for non-payment in order to identify if a change in the
exposure to credit risk has occurred.
Should a significant change in the exposure to credit risk be identified the allowance for expected credit losses is increased
to reflect the risk of expected default in the lifetime of the financial asset. The Group continually monitors for indications that
a financial asset has become credit impaired with an allowance for credit impairment recognised when the loss is incurred.
Where a financial asset becomes more than 90 days past its due date additional procedures are performed to determine
the reasons for non-payment in order to identify if the asset has become credit impaired.
The Group considers an asset to be credit impaired once there is evidence that a loss has been incurred. In addition to
recognising an allowance for expected credit loss, the Group monitors for the occurrence of events that have a detrimental
impact on the recoverability of financial assets. Evidence of credit impairment includes, but is not limited to, indications of
significant financial difficulty of the counterparty, a breach of contract or failure to adhere to payment terms, bankruptcy
or financial reorganisation of a counterparty or the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset.
A financial asset is only impaired when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

Other financial assets at amortised cost
An analysis of the age of other financial assets at the balance sheet date has not been provided on the grounds of
materiality. Other financial assets are typically non-recurring and are monitored on an asset-by-asset basis. Ageing is not

At 31 December 2025, the allowances for expected credit losses and credit impairment recognised in connection with other
financial assets at amortised cost were $nil (2024: $nil).
Concentration of credit risk
Credit risk is primarily associated with trade receivables. Net trade receivables as shown in Note 19 ‘Trade and other
receivables’ arise from a large number of customers, dispersed geographically. Continual credit evaluation is performed on
the recoverability of trade receivables. The following table classifies outstanding balances into three categories:

National energy companies are either partially or wholly-owned by, or directly controlled by, the government of their
respective country of incorporation. Both international and independent energy companies are mainly publicly or privately
owned. International energy companies are generally larger in size and scope than independent energy companies.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, two customers (2024: two customers) contributed individually to 10% or more of
the Group’s revenue. The revenue from these customers was $2,292.9 million or 32% of total Group revenue (2024: $1,851.5

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
The customer mix for outstanding accounts receivable balances at 31 December 2025 is not the same as at
31 December 2024. The Group did not have any significant credit exposure to any single counterparty at 31 December 2025
or 31 December 2024.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are primarily banks
with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. At 31 December 2025, 13% (2024: 7%) of cash and
cash equivalents was held at counterparties with a credit rating lower than ‘upper-medium grade’ classification.
Liquidity risk management
The Group has a framework for the management of short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management
requirements. The Group continually monitors forecast and actual cash flows and matches the maturity profiles of financial
assets and liabilities. Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalent balances and by ensuring
available borrowing facilities are in place. Included in Note 27 ‘Borrowings’ are details of the undrawn facilities that the Group
had at 31 December 2025.
Liquidity tables
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has

Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while
maximising the return to shareholders of the parent company.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings disclosed in Note 27 ‘Borrowings’, cash and
cash equivalents disclosed in Note 23 ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ and equity attributable to shareholders of the parent company,
comprising issued share capital, paid in surplus, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group monitors its capital structure using a leverage ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The ratio calculates net debt
as the principal amount of borrowings and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in
making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair value measurement
During the year ended 31 December 2025, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. The Group
recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy from the date of the event or change in circumstances that
caused the transfer.
Assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and their level of the fair value
hierarchy were as follows:

Recurring fair value measurements
Financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities which are remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis are determined as follows:
x the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid
markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;
x the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in
accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable
current market transactions and quotes for similar instruments;
x the fair value of other financial assets classified as current assets, which includes quoted securities, is determined using
quoted prices;
x the fair value of contingent consideration is determined based on current expectations of the achievement of specific
targets and milestones calculated using the discounted cash flow method and unobservable inputs. Quantitative
information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement and sensitivities to changes
in these unobservable inputs are as disclosed below:
x sign
ificant inputs to the fair value of contingent consideration following a business combination include the assumed
probability of the achievement of operational targets and technical milestones. A significant increase or decrease in the
assumed probability of achieving these would result in a higher or lower fair value of the contingent consideration liability,
while a significant increase or decrease in the discount rate would result in a higher or lower fair value of the contingent
consideration liability. Gains or losses for the year were recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as disclosed
within Note 7 ‘Other gains and losses’; and
x the fair values of foreign exchange derivative instruments and embedded derivatives are calculated using quoted foreign
exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contract. Where such prices
are not available, use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the
instruments for non-optional derivative financial instruments.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assumptions used in determining fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities which are remeasured to fair value on a
non-recurring basis are as follows:
The fair value of receivables and payables is based on their carrying amount, which is representative of contractual amounts
due and, where appropriate, incorporates expectations about future expected credit losses.
Other financial assets which are classified as non-current include equity investments in unlisted companies which are
strategic in nature. Management concluded that due to the nature of these investments, there are a wide range of possible
fair value measurements and in some cases there may be insufficient recent information available to enable the Group to
accurately measure fair value. Management reviews investments annually to ensure the carrying amount can be supported by
expected future cash flows and has concluded that cost is considered to represent the best estimate of fair value of each
investment within a range of possible outcomes.
In accordance with IFRS 5 ‘Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’, no impairment charges were
recognised on the carrying value of assets included in a disposal group classified as held for sale. These assets were
measured within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Further details are disclosed in Note 20 ‘Disposal group classified as held
for sale’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Details regarding the 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (2018 LTIP Plan) and the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (2022 LTIP Plan),
including number of shares transferred to participants, are disclosed within the Remuneration Report on pages 65 to 69.
The IFRS 2 ‘Share-based Payments’ fair value of each performance share granted under the 2018 and 2022 LTIP Plans is
estimated as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model with weighted average assumptions as follows:
2025 2024
For the year ended 31 Dec 31 Dec
Weighted average share price at grant date (in $)
20.78

42%
Risk-free rate
3.79%
3.17%
Dividend yield
5.2%

The expected share price volatility over the performance period is estimated from the Company’s historical share price volatility.
The award fair values were adjusted to recognise that participants are not entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments.
Both non-market Return on Average Invested Capital (ROAIC) and Cash Conversion Ratio (CCR) performance conditions are
not incorporated into the grant date fair value. The value of each award will be adjusted at each reporting date to reflect the
Group’s current expectation of the number of performance shares which will vest under the non-market ROAIC and CCR
performance conditions.
Upon vesting, the Group will withhold an amount for an employee’s tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and
transfer that amount, in cash, to the relevant tax authority on the employee’s behalf. In 2025, two awards vested under the 2018
and 2022 LTIP schemes. The total tax transferred to the relevant authorities was $5.4 million (2024: $3.0 million). Of this
total, $1.6 million was in relation to employee social security contributions and $3.8 million was in relation to income tax.

36. Retirement benefit obligations
The Group operates both defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans.
The Group’s contributions under the defined contribution pension plans are determined as a percentage of individual
employees’ pensionable salaries. The expense relating to these plans for the year was $75.5 million (2024: $71.1 million).
The Group operates an unfunded defined benefit pension plan in France which is called the indemnités de fin de carrière
(retirement indemnity plan) and is pursuant to applicable French legislation and labour agreements in force in the industry.
The number of employees enrolled in the plan at 31 December 2025 was 657 (2024: 678). A lump-sum payment is made to
employees upon retirement based on length of service, employment category and the employee’s final salary. The obligation
is unfunded and uninsured, as is standard practice in France. Since the retirement indemnity plan is based upon specific
lengths of service, categories and values set by French legislation and collective agreements there is no specific trust or
internal governance in place for this plan.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE
MEASURES (APMs)
The Group utilises Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) when evaluating financial performance, financial position and

AGRÉÉ
To the Shareholders of
Subsea 7 S.A.
412F, route d’Esch
L-1471 Luxembourg
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the Financial Statements of Subsea 7 S.A. (the “Company”), included in pages 220 to 228, which comprise
the Balance Sheet at 31 December 2025, the Profit and Loss account for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company at 31
December 2025, and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and
regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession
(“Law of 23 July 2016”) and with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission
de Surveillance du Secteur Financier” (“CSSF”). Our responsibilities under the EU Regulation Nº 537/2014, the Law of
23 July 2016 and ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF are further described in the “Responsibilities of the
“réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are also independent of the
Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including International Independence
Standards, issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (“IESBA Code”) as adopted for Luxembourg by
the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Statements, and have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Merger with Saipem S.p.A.
We draw your attention to Note 1 ‘Organisation’ of the Financial Statements which explains that Subsea 7 S.A. entered into
a binding merger agreement with Saipem S.p.A. on 23 July 2025. Management expects that the merger will complete in
the second half of 2026 subject to conditions precedent including regulatory approvals. Following the effective date of the
merger, Subsea 7 S.A. will be absorbed by Saipem S.p.A, and the latter entity will be renamed Saipem7 S.p.A. Management
prepared the Company’s financial statements on the going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the Financial
Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter: Impairment of investments in affiliated undertakings
Description of key
audit matter:
Subsea 7 S.A., as ultimate parent of the Group, holds shares in affiliated undertakings
Acergy Holdings (Gibraltar) Limited, Subsea 7 International Holdings (UK) Limited, Subsea 7
(UK Service Company) Limited and Seaway 7 AS amounting to an aggregate of $1,747.2 million
at 31 December 2025 as disclosed in Note 3 to the Annual Accounts, inclusive of a value
adjustment thereon of $95.0 million recognised during the year.
As stated in Note 2 to the Annual Accounts, the Company performs an annual review of the
carrying amounts of individual investments with any resulting impairments or impairment
reversals reflected in the Profit and Loss account in the relevant period.
Investments in affiliated undertakings are subject to an impairment test when impairment
indicators are identified. The estimated recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the
value-in-use or fair value less costs to sell. The outcome of the impairment review could vary
significantly if different assumptions were applied in the valuation model.
The key factors are:
x the Adjusted EBITDA assumptions taken from the Group’s most recent budgets and plans
for the next five years (the “Plan”);
x the Adjusted EBITDA forecasts and long-term growth rate used beyond the period covered
by the Plan given the significance of the terminal value cash flows to the total value-in-use,
also considering the expected impact of climate change;
x the pre-tax discount rate applied to future cash flows.
Impairment of shares in affiliated undertakings is considered a key audit matter because of the
significant judgement involved regarding the assessment of their recoverable amount.
Our response:
Our audit procedures in relation to the valuation of the investments in affiliated undertakings
included, among others:
We assessed management’s impairment testing by obtaining the supporting model and
assessing the methodology and key assumptions made:
x Adjusted EBITDA forecasts – we evaluated management’s Adjusted EBITDA forecasts and
tested the underlying values used in the calculations by comparing management’s forecast
to the latest management approved five-year plan;
x we assessed actual performance in the year against the prior year budgets to evaluate
historical forecasting accuracy;
x long-term growth rate – we compared the rates applied by management to available
externally developed rates;
x pre-tax discount rates – we involved our valuations specialists in our evaluation of the
discount rate to consider the appropriateness of the rates used;
x net assets – we agreed the net assets to the financial records of the respective companies; and
x we tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models.
We compared the carrying amount of the investments to their recoverable amount in order to
assess whether an impairment or reversal of previously recognised impairment exists.
We assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 2 and Note 3 of
the Annual Accounts.

Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Management Report on page 137 and the accompanying Corporate Governance Statement from pages 48 to 69 but does
not include the Financial Statements and our report of “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there
is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and of those charged with governance for the Financial
Statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Financial Statements in accordance
with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements,
and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial
Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for presenting and marking up the Financial Statements in compliance with
the requirements set out in the Delegated Regulation 2019/815 on European Single Electronic Format, as amended
(“ESEF Regulation”).
In preparing the Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the Financial Statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with the ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by
the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for
Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
x Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” to the related disclosures in the Financial
Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
x Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
x Assess whether the Financial Statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements
laid down in the ESEF Regulation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
We have been appointed as “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” by the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 8 May 2025
and the duration of our uninterrupted engagement, including previous renewals and reappointments, is twelve years.
The Management Report on page 137 is consistent with the Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with
applicable legal requirements.
The accompanying corporate governance statement on pages 48 to 69 is the responsibility of the Board of Directors. The
information required by article 68ter paragraph (1) letters c) and d) of the law of 19 December 2002 on the commercial and
companies register and on the accounting records and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended, is consistent with the
Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We have checked the compliance of the Financial Statements of the Company as at 31 December 2025 with relevant
statutory requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation that are applicable to the Financial Statements.
For the Company, it relates to:
x Financial Statements prepared in valid xHTML format;
x The XBRL markup of the Financial Statements using the core taxonomy and the common rules on markups specified in the
ESEF Regulation.
In our opinion, the Financial Statements of the Company as at 31 December 2025, identified as 222100AIF0CBCY80AH62-
2025-12-31, have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements laid down in the ESEF
Regulation.
We confirm that the prohibited non-audit services referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014 were not provided and that we
remained independent of the Company in conducting the audit.

GLOSSARY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organisation

inspection, survey and engineering services, predominantly for the offshore oil and gas, renewable energy, heavy lifting and
related industries. More generally, the Company is authorised to participate in any manner in all commercial, industrial,
financial and other enterprises of Luxembourg or foreign nationality through the acquisition by participation, subscription,
purchase, option or any other means of all shares, stocks, debentures, bonds or securities; and the acquisition of patents and
licences it will administer and exploit. The Company is authorised to lend or borrow with or without security, provided that any

Going concern
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. Management has concluded that
there are no significant doubts over the application of the going concern assumption and no disclosable material
uncertainties which cast doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On 23 February 2025, Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem S.p.A. signed a memorandum of understanding to regulate the terms of a
possible merger between the two companies. Subsequently, on 23 July 2025, Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem S.p.A. entered into
a binding merger agreement, governing the final terms of the proposed merger including the combination of the Group’s
business with the Asset Based Services business of Saipem S.p.A., including Offshore Wind, and form an operationally
autonomous company within the new combined group. The proposed merger is subject to conditions precedent, including
regulatory approval in certain jurisdictions, and anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2026.
Upon completion of the conditions precedent including obtaining the required regulatory approvals, and as approved on
the 25 September 2025 by the shareholders of Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem S.p.A. respectively, the proposed business
combination will be effected by way of an EU cross-border statutory merger of Subsea 7 S.A. into Saipem S.p.A. within
the meaning of the provisions of the European Directive (EU) 2017/1132 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
14 June 2017 relating to certain aspects of company law, and Directive (EU) 2019/2121 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 27 November 2019 amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132 as regards cross-border conversions, mergers and
divisions (the EU Mobility Directive). By virtue of the proposed merger, Subsea 7 S.A. will be absorbed by Saipem S.p.A., a
company incorporated in Italy, which will acquire all assets and assume all liabilities and other legal relationships of Subsea 7
S.A. and will be renamed Saipem7 S.p.A. Completion of the proposed merger is subject to, among other things, the admission
to listing and trading of the shares of the combined company on Euronext Oslo in Norway. The merged company, Saipem7
S.p.A. will remain incorporated in Italy and listed on Euronext Milan in Italy. Management considers that the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern will not be impacted should the proposed merger not be completed. The Company wi
ll
con
tinue to have access to adequate liquidity to support the assumption it will continue as a going concern. Furth
er
d
isclosure is included within Note 1 ‘General information’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Significant accounting policies
The Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements. Accounting
policies and valuation rules are, besides the ones laid down by the law of 19 December 2002 as amended, determined and
applied by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company maintains its accounting records and presents its Financial
Statements in US dollars ($). Significant accounting policies are as follows:
2.1 Financial assets
Shares in affiliated undertakings are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment in value. An annual review of the
carrying amount is performed on an individual investment basis with resulting impairments or reversals of impairment
reflected in the Profit and Loss account in the relevant period. Earnings in investee companies are recognised when,
and to the extent that, dividends are received from affiliated undertakings and participating interests.
2.2 Own shares
Own shares are initially measured at acquisition cost and recognised as an asset with a corresponding non-distributable
reserve created from share premium. Own shares are subsequently remeasured at the lower of cost or market value using
the FIFO (First In First Out) method. They are subject to value adjustments where their recovery is compromised. These
value adjustments are reversed when the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
2.3 Translation of foreign currencies
The Company maintains its accounts in US dollars; this is the currency in which its capital is expressed and the Financial
Statements are prepared. Amounts in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars on the following basis:
x formation expenses, the cost of acquisition of intangible, tangible and financial fixed assets denominated in a currency
other than US dollars, are translated at historical exchange rates;
x all other assets denominated in a currency other than US dollars are valued individually at the lower of their values
translated into US dollars at their historical exchange rate or exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
x all liabilities denominated in a currency other than US dollars are valued individually at the higher of their values translated

x revenue and expenses denominated in a currency other than US dollars are translated into US dollars at the exchange
rates applicable on the day on which they are collected or disbursed.
Only realised foreign exchange gains and losses and unrealised foreign exchange losses are recognised in the Profit and
Loss account.
2.4 Share-based payments
Awards made under the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plans, in the form of equity-settled share-based payments, are satisfied by
the Company on behalf of its affiliated undertakings. The costs associated with these awards are recognised on the date of
issuance to the employees and recorded in the Profit and Loss account as an adjustment to the value of own shares.
At 31 December 2025, a provision of $24.0 million for awards potentially vesting in future periods was recognised.
2.5 Parent company guarantees
The Company issues parent company guarantees (PCGs) to third parties on behalf of its direct and indirect affiliated undertakings

within the Profit and Loss account. This income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee.
2.6 Interest payable and receivable
Amounts owed to and owed by affiliated undertakings bear interest at commercial rates.
2.7 Other debtors
Other debtors are recognised initially at nominal amount. Provisions for value adjustments are made when there is objective
evidence that the Company may not be able to collect all of the amounts due. Bad debts are written off where necessary.

Luxembourg law requires that 5% of the Company’s unconsolidated net income is allocated to a legal reserve annually, prior
to declaration of dividends. This requirement continues until the reserve is 10% of its issued share capital at nominal value,
after which no further allocations are required until further issuance of shares. The legal reserve may also be satisfied by allocation
of the required amount at the issuance of shares or by a transfer from share premium. The legal reserve is not distributable.

2018 Long Term Incentive Plan
The 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (2018 LTIP Plan) was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting on 17 April 2018 and was valid for a period up to five years until 2023. Awards under the 2018 LTIP Plan were made
in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Subsea 7 S.A. | Annual Report 2025

GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTSSTRATEGIC REPORT
2022 Long Term Incentive Plan
The 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (2022 LTIP Plan) was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting on 12 April 2022, superseding the 2018 LTIP Plan, and is valid for a period of five years until 2027. The principles of
the plan remained as previous years whereby a conditional award of shares is made that provides for share awards which
vest over a three to five-year period subject to performance measures. Cash Conversion Ratio (CCR) has been added to
the plan and the percentage weighting of each measure adjusted to reflect this.
The 2022 LTIP Plan has a five-year term with awards being made annually in October. The aggregate number of shares
which may be granted in any calendar year is limited to 0.5% of issued share capital on 1 January of that calendar year.
The total number of shares that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the plan shall not exceed 11,500,000. The total
number of share awards and shares granted to the CEO and CFO are recommended by the Compensation Committee for
the approval by the Board of Subsea7. The 2022 LTIP Plan is an essential component of the Company’s reward strategy and
is designed to align the interests of participants with those of the Company’s shareholders and enables participants to share
in the success of the Company. The 2022 LTIP Plan provides for conditional awards of shares based upon performance
conditions measured over a performance period of three years. Performance conditions are based upon three measures and
weightings determined by the Compensation Committee. During 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the following
revised weightings to apply to the 2024 and future LTIP awards under the 2022 LTIP Plan:
x Total Shareholder Return (50%)
x Cash Conversion Ratio (30%)
x Return on Average Invested Capital (20%).
All three performance conditions are determined over a three-year period from 1 July in the year of award to 30 June three
years later. Subject to the achievement of the performance conditions, awards will vest in equal tranches after three, four and
five years from award date.
Under the terms of the LTIP, participants are not entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments during the performance
and holding periods. On 31 December 2025, there were approximately 150 participants in the active LTIP schemes (2018
LTIP and 2022 LTIP Plans). Individual award caps are in place such that no participant may be granted shares under the
2022 LTIP Plan in a single calendar year that have an aggregate fair market value in excess of 150%, in the case of the CEO,
CFO and other members of the Executive Management Team, and 100%, in the case of other employees, of their annual
base salary at the date of the award. Additionally, a holding requirement for the CEO, CFO and other members of the
Executive Management Team applies where they must hold 50% of all awards that vest until they have built up a
shareholding with a market value of 150% of their annual base salary which must be maintained throughout their tenure.
Total Shareholder Return based awards
The Company will have to achieve a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) ranking above the median for any awards to vest. If the
ranked TSR position of the Company during the three-year performance period, as converted to a percentage, is equal to
50%, 20% of the share award will vest. If the ranked TSR position of the Company is greater than 50% and below 75%, the
vesting of the share award between 20% and 50% is determined by linear interpolation. The maximum award of 50% would
vest if the Company achieved a ranked TSR position of equal to or greater than 75%.
Cash Conversion Ratio based awards
The Cash Conversion Ratio (CCR) measures the conversion of Adjusted EBITDA into a form of cash. The Board believes this
measure is an important addition to the LTIP as it aligns with shareholder interests in making sure the business converts
profitability into cash generated from its operations in a timely manner. The Group can exert significant influence in achieving
this goal. Furthermore it is clear and predictable, and as with the other two measures, the elements of the calculation are
readily identifiable from the Group Financial Statements.
CCR is calculated for each of the three years of the performance period on a quarterly basis.
Return on Average Invested Capital based awards
Return on Average Invested Capital (ROAIC) is calculated for each of the three years of the performance period on a
quarterly basis.
Details of the TSR, ROAIC and CCR calculations, including further details of each Long-Term Incentive Plan, are disclosed
within the Remuneration Report on pages 65 to 69.

Vesting of LTIP 2022 award
The performance conditions applicable to the share awards granted in 2022 under the 2022 LTIP Plan that vested during
2025 were based upon three measures: TSR, ROAIC and Cash conversion, with a weighting of 65%, 15% and 20%,
respectively. Subject to these performance conditions, the vested shares are transferred to participants in equal tranches
on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the award date.
The performance conditions for the vesting of the share awards granted in 2022 under the 2022 LTIP Plan are set out below.
For LTIP 2022 awards, all performance conditions were assessed over the three-year period; TSR vested at 80.10%, Cash
conversion at 52.50%, and ROAIC 0%.
