Papendrecht, 13 May 2020 The first quarter of 2020 was above expectations for Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis). In light of the worldwide developments of the COVID-19 virus, Boskalis closed a good first quarter. A modest increase in revenue was accompanied by a higher result compared to the same period last year. The order book decreased slightly at the end of the quarter compared to the record position held at the end of 2019. To date there have been no project cancellations of substance impacting the order book. The already very solid financial position improved further in the course of the first quarter.HIGHLIGHTS FIRST QUARTER 2020COVID-19 impact on first quarter result relatively limitedIncreased revenue and higher EBITDA compared to the first quarter of 2019Fleet utilization: mixed picture within both Dredging and Offshore EnergyOrder book: EUR 4.6 billionPositive net cash position of EUR 57 million and a directly available financial headroom of approximately EUR 850 millionOPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTSWith regard to the COVID-19 (corona) virus Boskalis has taken maximum precautions to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees.

A test procedure for COVID-19 has been developed in collaboration with the Travel Clinic, part of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
