Improved pricing levels also applied to the projects at hand at the start of the third quarter. However, both the pressure on this quarter’s production capacity as a consequence of the delayed Borssele 3+4 project and production issues, caused planning problems and a less efficient production. With multiple projects at hand and tight delivery schedules, production- lines repeatedly required conversion. This resulted in production of 46 Kton at much higher than precalculated manhours and overtime. This impacted this quarter’s contribution margin. For the final quarter of 2019 we expect an equal utilization with production anticipated at 47 Kton and contribution margins at least at Q2 2019 levels.The outcome of 2020 remains uncertain with limited clarity on timing of the Vineyard project. We are still in talks with the client on different scenarios ranging from full delay of the project to manufacture of part of the order in 2020. Further news on timing is not expected before December 2019 but with the passing of time it becomes less likely that Vineyard will lead to production in 2020. For 2021 we already booked 108 Kton following the recent addition of the 4th part of Hollandse Kust Zuid in The Netherlands. With increasing ambitions of various countries and high tender activity, we expect good utilization from 2021 onwards.1 Year-to-date (YTD) refers to the period 1 January- 30 September2 Adjustments relate to IPO- expenses for which 2018 EBITDA- numbers are adjusted.3 Including 103 Kton for Vineyard
