2 General highlights Fugro to focus on its core geotechnical and survey activities Restructuring Seabed Geosolutions in progress and Fugro actively seeking options to reduce its stake Process underway to find a partner to create a strong subsea services player. Options include a divestment of (part of) the subsea business Poor results due to market and performance issues Cost reduction and performance improvement measures accelerated and on track Headcount reduction of around 6% of total Fugro (750 employees) in progress. Most of the reduction will have been implemented by the first quarter of 2015 Courtesy of French Ministry Of Culture and Communication / Immadras 2

5 MARKET DEVELOPMENTS 5

6 Oil and gas market under pressure Oil and gas market (78% of revenue) Rapid decline of oil price in 2HY14 to < $50/barrel (Brent) with recent wavering rebound to $ 60/barrel E&P spend outlook 2015 by major international oil companies down by 15%. NOCs spend outlook 2015 largely flat* North American shale rig count sharply down and shale output expected to decline as result New deep water and ultra deep water developments under increased scrutiny Discretionary spending by oil companies largely halted * Barclays Global 2015 E&P spending Outlook 6

7 Infrastructure and other markets growing Infrastructure and building (12%) Infrastructure spend generally follows regional GDP growth Growth concentrated in emerging markets, still slow in OECD countries Climate change will drive water services for protection against floods and fresh water Sustainable energy, mining, public sector (10%) Sustainable energy continues to grow and become less dependent on government support Mining market slow until structural growth of GDP drives commodity prices and hence mining 7

33 Dividend policy Due to weak results and to strengthen the balance sheet no dividend for 2014 Dividend payment in 2016 (over the year 2015) conditional on covenant compliance at original levels 33

34 OUTLOOK 34

35 Oil and gas market to remain weak short term Oil price will continue to be under pressure until supply-demand balance is restored Oil service activity will be challenged in short-term as result of reduced E&P spending and capex discipline Already sanctioned deepwater field developments will continue, not affected by short term price fluctuations Reduced investment will not compensate for depletion and reduce supply 35

36 Backlog decline in line with market developments Currency comparable decline by 14.8%: Onshore Geotechnical strong Offshore Geotechnical and Survey decline in line with market developments 1, Reported growth - 8.6% 1,575.4 Currency comparable growth % Strong decline in Subsea Services, impacted by % completion Great Western Flank project in Adjusted for this effect % backlog Fugro 8.7% backlog Subsea Services 12.5% GWF % 67% definite orders, comparable to last year % YE13 YE14 Geotechnical Survey Subsea Services Geoscience (Seabed Geosolutions) 36

37 Outlook 2015 We expect the oil and gas market to remain challenging for some period of time In 2014 Fugro started to implement cost reduction measures and accelerates its performance improvement programmes for its oil and gas activities. Capex is curtailed strongly Contingency plans are in place to further reduce costs and vessel capacity in case markets deteriorate beyond current expectations Fugro expects to generate strong cash flow before financing in 2015 The mid-term outlook for 2017 as communicated on 29 October 2014 is unchanged 37

38 Key take-aways Fugro to focus on its core geotechnical and survey activities Restructuring Seabed Geosolutions in progress and Fugro actively seeking options to reduce its stake Process underway to find a partner to create a strong subsea services player. Options include a divestment of (part of) the subsea business Poor results due to market and performance issues Tangible action being taken across the board to improve EBIT margin Cost reduction and performance improvement measures accelerated and on track 38
