LEASES For any new contracts the Group enters into as a lessee, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is a contract that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. At commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received). The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Group revaluates the right-of-use asset for remeasurements of the lease liability. Real estate is depreciated over periods ranging from 1 to 36 years, vessels over periods ranging from 1 to 5 years and other right-of-use assets over periods ranging from 1 to 5 years. Lease liability At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or an incremental borrowing rate as determined by the Group. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised. Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. Short-term lease and lease with a low value of the underlying asset The payments of short-term leases (duration is equal to or less than 12 months) and leases of low-value underlying assets (equal to or less than USD 5.000) are expensed in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Instead of recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at (amortized) cost. If the difference between the discounted and nominal value is not material, trade and other payables are stated at cost.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Assets are classified as held for sale (disposal group) when it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Liabilities related to the assets held for sale are separately recognized as liabilities held for sale. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated. For a joint venture or associate held for sale, the use of the equity method is discontinued. REVENUE The Group has contracting activities in all three of its operational segments. Almost all activities are based on contracts with customers. These activities include construction projects and the execution of service-related contracts. The duration of the construction projects varies from approximately one month to several years. Service-related contracts also vary in duration, mostly from several days to more than a year, in the latter case due to a combination of multiple transports in a single contract. Contracts are agreements under which the Group and the customer have mutually enforceable rights and obligations. A combination of contracts rarely occurs but contract modifications, such as those related to additional work, are common. Additional work included in the recognition of revenue is based on mutually agreed contract modifications. In most cases such modifications or extended services are not distinct and therefore form part of a single performance obligation that is partially completed at the time of the contract modification. Most often the contracts contain only one performance obligation. Performance obligations are the asset to be constructed for the customer or the service that is to be rendered. Revenue recognized is based on contract considerations, including fixed prices and variable prices as well as indexation of raw materials and other costs, possible claims, incentives or liquidated damages. If there is a right to variable remuneration, such as incentive agreements, this is taken into account to the extent that it is highly unlikely that it will be reversed at a later date. Revenue is recognized over time when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the Group’s performance or when the Group creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls. Revenue from the contracting of projects in the Dredging & Inland Infra and Offshore Energy operational segments, excluding marine transport and other offshore related services, is recognized based on the progress of the project, mainly using the ‘cost-to-cost’ method. This method, as applied, adequately reflects the extent of the work performed for heterogeneous services for different projects in the period and includes the considerable use of equipment inherent to the Group’s activities. The ‘cost-to-cost’ formula, using (actual) costs as the numerator and estimated total costs as the denominator, includes project costs consisting of payroll costs, materials, costs of subcontracted work, costs of local representatives, rental charges and maintenance costs for the equipment used and other project costs. The Group makes significant estimates and judgements for the projects that depend on the nature of specific project circumstances.
