MEDIA RELEASE

Titan Announcement & Market Update

Royal Wolf notes the announcement by Titan Energy Services that it and certain of its subsidiaries have resolved to appoint administrators.

Royal Wolf has outstanding invoices and contracted future revenues from the Titan Group of in excess of $5.0m, as well as an entitlement to recover various other costs and expenses. The total amount of Royal Wolf’s claim against the Titan Group entities will need to be quantified. The obligations of the Titan Group in respect of Royal Wolf’s claim are secured by first ranking security interests over all of the present and after acquired property of Titan Energy Services and its relevant operating subsidiaries.

Although Titan has made payments during the FY16, the impact on our rental revenue and potential asset sales is forecast to reduce our FY16 EBITDA to the range of $36-$39 million and NPAT to $7.5-$9.5 million.

We will pursue the full amount outstanding however we have not included in our forecast any contribution by 30th June 2016.

Robert Allan, Chief Executive Officer, said “We are disappointed that Titan has not been able to continue operations until a return to drilling demand occurs. We believe we have made a number of commercial decisions to provide Titan with flexibility over this difficult period with the clear objective being to deliver value to Royal Wolf’s shareholders”.

“At Royal Wolf we have always adopted the strategy of engaging with diverse customers in diverse geographies demonstrating the strength and flexibility of Royal Wolf’s container designs.”

“The above forecast includes approximately $1.2 million in leasing revenue from energy and resources camps year to date. The forecast reflects that as a result of recovering our equipment from Titan, almost all Resources/Energy camps have been dehired.”

“Our team is identifying and securing opportunities to gradually redeploy the idle accommodation assets. The balance of our activity is tracking within our expectations, we have capacity under our bank facilities and we continue to seek organic growth and accretive acquisitions.”
