La compañía navalecánica italiana presentó los primeros nueve meses de 2015 con un resultado económico negativo de -96 millones de euros. Renuncia del Director General Andrea Mangoni. Fuerte deterioro del rendimiento de VARD
November 11, 2015

Viking Ocean Cruises ha ordenado la construcción de dos cruceros al grupo Fincantieri. Las nuevas unidades serán gemelas a las cuatro naves que la compañía estadounidense ya ha ordenado al grupo navalmecánico italiano, de las cuales la primera ya se ha entregado a principios de este año y la segunda y tercera se completarán en 2016 y 2017, dijo la compañía. mientras que para el cuarto todavía tiene que ser definido como términos técnicos y financieros ( de la Julio 12 2012 y 16 de diciembre 2013).

Las dos nuevas naves, que serán tomadas a mediados de 2018 y a finales de 2020, tendrán un tonelaje bruto de alrededor de 47.800 toneladas, 465 cabinas y podrán acoger a 930 pasajeros a una capacidad general. de más de 1.400 personas, incluida la tripulación. Los barcos serán diseñados por los Fincantieri, mientras que los interiores, así como para los barcos anteriores ordenados por la compañía estadounidense, serán diseñados por el Rottet Studio en Los Ángeles y SMC Design en Londres.

Otra orden del grupo italiano ha venido de la OCCAR (Organización Conjointe de Cooperation sur l' Armement), la organización internacional de cooperación armamentística, que-como parte del plan de renovación de la flota de la Marina- Italiano Serviceman, cuyo primer tramo se ha puesto en marcha en los últimos meses, ha encargado un nuevo Pactugliator Polivalente d' Altura (PPA) a la agrupación temporal de empresa realizada entre Fincantieri (proxies) y Finmeccanica (mandante) a través de Selex ES, activando la opción contractual pertinente y acortando la producción en una sola fase, seguida de forma inmediata. Con este barco se convierten en siete patrulleros PPA para la agrupación temporal de la empresa: los seis anteriores habían sido asignados en mayo y otras tres unidades siguen en opción. La entrega del primer patrullero está prevista en 2021. Las entregas de los patrulleros posteriores están previstas en 2022, 2023, 2024 con dos unidades, 2025 y 2026.

Fincantieri recordó que, además de los patrulleros PPA, está prevista la construcción, ya contractualizada en los últimos meses, de una unidad de apoyo logístico (LSS, en concreto Logístico Support Ship) y una unidad anfibia multifunción (LHD, a saber, Landing). Helicóptero Dock), este último a través de la forma de un contrato público con la Administración de Defensa italiana. El valor total de los contratos asignados a la agrupación temporal de empresas alcanza así un valor de alrededor de 5.400 millones de euros, de los cuales la participación de Fincantieri es de alrededor de 3.600 millones de euros, mientras que el de Finmeccanica asciende a Aproximadamente 1.800 millones de euros.

Fincantieri presentó los primeros nueve meses de 2015 con un resultado económico del grupo negativo por -96 millones de euros en comparación con un resultado positivo de 42 millones de euros en el período correspondiente de 2014. Fincantieri dijo que la cifra se habría situado en -73 millones de euros (frente a los +67 millones del 30 de septiembre de 2014) sin los efectos de los forasteros en la gestión ordinaria y no recurrente. Los ingresos ascendieron a 3.032 millones de euros, un 3,3% más que los 2.935 millones de euros de los primeros nueve meses del año pasado. El EBITDA fue de seis millones de euros en comparación con 207 millones de euros en el período enero-septiembre de 2014. El EBIT fue una señal negativa por -74 millones de euros en comparación con un beneficio operativo de señal positivo de 132 millones de euros el año pasado.

Sólo en el segmento de la construcción naval, Fincantieri registró unos ingresos de 2.110 millones de euros (1.855 millones en los primeros nueve meses de 2014) y un EBITDA de 26 millones de euros (125 millones), en los ingresos del segmento offshore de 847 millones de euros (991 millones) y EBITDA negativo por -16 millones de euros (+ 89 millones) y en el segmento de los sistemas, componentes y servicios ingresos de 149 millones (129 millones) y un EBITDA de 19 millones (13 millones).

Fincantieri dijo que la posición financiera neta del grupo fue negativa por -506 millones de euros al 30 de septiembre de 2015 y positivo por 44 millones de euros al 31 de diciembre de 2014. El grupo explicó que " el cambio en la posición financiera neta se puede atribuir al aumento de las necesidades financieras resultante de la inversión del período de 106 millones EUR, el aumento en el área de negocio del área de negocio de la cruceros y en parte a la absorción circulante de la filial VARD para algunos se compromete con la entrega prevista siempre en el primer semestre de 2016. En lo que respecta a los cruceros, los términos de pago proporcionan, como se sabe, la recaudación de la mayor parte del precio en el momento de la entrega. Esto implica que el capital circulante empleado en los últimos meses de construcción es particularmente relevante. Esta dinámica, que se aplica al calendario de producción del grupo, prevé la entrega de cuatro unidades en el primer semestre de 2016, lo que resulta en un volumen sustancial de efectivo ".

En los primeros nueve meses de este año el grupo navalmecánico italiano adquirió nuevos pedidos por un total de 4.852 millones de euros, un incremento del 14,2% por ciento en comparación con 4.247 millones de euros en los primeros nueve meses de 2014. El valor de la cartera de pedidos el 30 de septiembre se situó en 17.605 millones de euros frente a los 14.590 millones de euros del 30 de septiembre de 2014. La división de construcción naval totalizó nuevos pedidos de 4.148 millones de euros (3.086 millones en los primeros nueve meses de 2014) y el libro de pedidos se situó en 13.817 millones de euros (10.549 millones); las nuevas órdenes de la división Offshore ascendieron a 299 millones de euros (1.081) y el orderbook cayeron a 2.975 millones de euros (3.564 millones); la división de Equipos, Sistemas y Servicios cerró los primeros nueve meses de 2015 con nuevos pedidos por valor de 473 millones de euros (168 millones) y con una cartera de pedidos. de 1.083 millones de euros (721 millones).

Fincantieri explicó que en el segmento de construcción naval, la carga de trabajo es particularmente desafiante y se caracteriza por un número excepcional de prototipos de cruceros, distribuidos en varios clientes, adquiridos durante los años de la crisis. sector de las cruceristas en condiciones de precios fuertemente deprimidas y cuyas entregas se concentran en el bienio 2015 -2016. El grupo, que no ha encontrado un apoyo adecuado desde la crisis y una penalización del margen EBITDA durante el tercer trimestre de 2015, no ha encontrado el apoyo adecuado de las estructuras de ingeniería, dijo el grupo. concentración de costes en los últimos meses de alineación. Fincantieri dijo que, en este contexto, se ha activado un grupo de trabajo para la gestión de cambios de diseño en la producción y para el uso de instalaciones de diseño y producción de VARD, empresa noruega pasada bajo el control de Fincantieri a principios de 2013 ( de la Enero 23 y 5 de marzo 2013), y se han emprendido iniciativas específicas encaminadas a la reposición de la red de subcontratación y al inicio de la mejora de los sistemas técnicos de los sistemas de ingeniería y planificación de la producción.

Además, Fincantieri señaló que en el segmento Offshore, la situación del mercado se había deteriorado fuertemente a nivel mundial, lo que dio lugar al inicio de VARD, dijo el grupo italiano, de los programas de reorganización. operaciones, en particular en los astilleros rumano y noruego, destinadas a una reducción estructural de la base de costes y la aceleración de las acciones para el desarrollo de sinergias con el negocio italiano del negocio de cruceros, destinado a aumentar su de manera estructural la capacidad de producción. Fincantieri dijo que para resolver finalmente los problemas operativos perdurantes en Brasil, en parte relacionados con el difícil entorno político y económico actual en el país, se están estudiando varias opciones estratégicas.

"La tendencia de la gerencia en los primeros nueve meses de 2015", dijo el presidente ejecutivo de Fincantieri, Giuseppe Bono, refleja el fuerte incremento en la producción y la actividad de diseño. Este aumento es el resultado del importante crecimiento de la cartera de pedidos. Sin embargo, el peso de las órdenes de prototipos de naves, adquiridas a baja marginalidad en la fase más aguda de la crisis para apoyar la actividad productiva, ha penalizado la rentabilidad del grupo. A esto se han sumado los efectos de la crisis del Petróleo y el Gas, causados por la caída impredecible de los precios del petróleo y las continuas dificultades de la VARD en Brasil, que también están vinculadas a la situación económica y política del país. Frente a estas críticas, Fincantieri está trabajando en un plan industrial, que se definirá con la presentación del presupuesto de 2015, dirigido a un adecuado retorno para los accionistas. Las principales directrices del plan estarán dirigidas a intervenciones organizativas para mejorar la eficiencia operativa y la renovada atención al lucrativo mercado de posventa, lo que garantiza a la empresa un crecimiento más estable. y diversificada, junto con el producto constante y la innovación en el proceso. "Con respecto a VARD, el plan proveerá un mayor desarrollo de sinergias productivas y de ingeniería con Fincantieri y la resolución final de criticalidades en Brasil", dijo Bono. Mientras tanto, el compromiso de definir los principales desplazamientos, como el acuerdo con el Carnaval del pasado mes de marzo, que una vez finalizado garantizará un atraso de gran relevancia y visibilidad a largo plazo sobre los ingresos. Por último, se prestará especial atención al personal, por la mayor participación de los mismos en la actividad operativa, incluso a través de herramientas innovadoras de incentivación. "

En los primeros nueve meses de 2015, el desempeño económico de la filial de VARD experimentó un fuerte deterioro. El periodo se presentó con una pérdida neta de más de -1.100 millones de coronas noruegas (121 millones de euros) en comparación con un beneficio neto de 30 millones de coronas noruegas en el periodo enero-septiembre del año pasado. Los ingresos cayeron -7,1% por ciento a 7.800 millones de coronas noruegas. El EBITDA y el EBIT fueron ambos de un signo negativo de -356 millones y -566 millones de coronas noruegas respectivamente en comparación con los resultados de señales positivas por 309 millones y 155 millones de coronas noruegas en los primeros nueve meses de 2014.

En los primeros nueve meses de este año, VARD perdió nuevos pedidos por más de 2.600 millones de coronas noruegas, con una contracción de -70.5% por ciento en el período correspondiente de 2014. El valor de la cartera de pedidos el 30 de septiembre fue de 14.0 mil millones de coronas noruegas en comparación con 20.1 mil millones al 30 de septiembre de 2014.

En los primeros nueve meses de este año, el Grupo Fincantieri implementó un total de una reducción orgánica que cayó de 21.689 unidades al 31 de diciembre de 2014 (de las cuales 7.706 unidades en Italia) a 20.868 unidades a 30 de septiembre de 2015 (de las cuales 7.733 unidades en Italia estaban en Italia). "Este efecto es atribuible a la disminución de los recursos empleados en los astilleros de la filial VARD principalmente en Rumania, como resultado de la reducción en los costos de reducción de los costos laborales", dijo la compañía. debido a la difícil situación del mercado de petróleo y gas en el que opera la filial. "

Ayer, Andrea Mangoni renunció a las posiciones de componente de la junta directiva y gerente general de Fincantieri. "Deseo agradecer el trabajo llevado a cabo, junto con la junta directiva y la compañía, la doctora Andrea Mangoni, a quien expreso los mejores deseos para los nuevos pasajes profesionales", dijo Bono en un comunicado.
