Tony Mace, CEO of SBM Offshore: "We are pleased to announce solid financial
results for 2009 with a profit slightly ahead of the previous year. Execution
performance on the major ongoing projects has in general improved resulting in
increased profit margins. The Company's fleet of leased vessels has again
performed very well generating substantial bonus revenues. We were successful in
obtaining some major new orders in the second half of the year and have
increased the order backlog to a new record level. The share offering in
November has strengthened our balance sheet to fund the Company's ongoing plans
for further development of our lease business".
