4.3.3Revenue
The Company’s revenue mainly originates from construction contracts and lease and operate contracts. Revenue originating from construction contracts is presented in the Turnkey segment while revenue from lease and operate contracts is presented in the Lease and Operate segment. Around 42% of the Company’s 2025 Lease and Operate revenue is made of charter rates related to lease contracts, while the remaining amount originates from operating contracts. The Company recognizes most of its revenue (i.e. around 98%) over time.
The Company’s policy regarding revenue recognition is described in further detail in note 4.2.7 B. Critical Accounting Policies − (d) Revenue. For the disaggregation of total revenue by country and by segment, please refer to Geographical Information under note 4.3.2 Operating Segments and Directional Reporting.
The Company’s construction contracts can last for several years, depending on the type of product, scope and complexity of the project, while the Company’s Lease and Operate contracts are generally multiple-year contracts. As a result, the Company has (partially) outstanding performance obligations to its clients (unsatisfied performance obligations) at December 31, 2025. These unsatisfied performance obligations relate to:
- Ongoing construction contracts, including the construction of vessels under finance leases that still need to be completed;
- Ongoing multiple-year operating contracts. Note that for this specific disclosure on unsatisfied performance obligations, the lease component of the Lease and Operate contracts is excluded (this component being described in further detail in notes 4.3.13 Property, Plant and Equipment and 4.3.15 Finance Lease Receivables). As noted, some contracts include (performance) bonuses when earned or penalties incurred under the Company’s Lease and Operate contracts. The net amount of performance-related payments for 2025 increased to US$127 million (2024: US$22 million). This increase is mostly related to the prior year temporary shutdown of three units.
The following table presents the unsatisfied performance obligations as at December 31, 2025 (in billions of US$):
Unsatisfied performance obligations related to | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
Construction contracts including finance leases | 4.3 | 7.0 |
Operating contracts | 15.8 | 15.4 |
Total | 20.1 | 22.4 |
The unsatisfied performance obligations for the committed construction contracts mostly relate to two major construction FPSO contracts and one FSO. Revenue related to these construction contracts is expected to be recognized over the coming three years in line with the construction progress on these projects.
The unsatisfied performance obligations for the operating contracts relate to (i) the Company’s vessels leased to clients where the Company is the operator (both operating and finance lease contracts) and (ii) three operating contracts for operating services on a vessel that is owned by the client. The operating contracts end between 2026 and 2050. The Company will recognize the unsatisfied performance obligation over this period in line with the work performed.
With regard to future demobilization performance obligations, the Company will be compensated by clients through existing contractual arrangements during the decommissioning period either based on a specific day-rate or based on agreed scope of work and associated costs incurred. The total amount expected to be received depends on the expected duration of decommissioning and the agreed scope of work.
The Company can agree on various payment arrangements which generally reflect the progress of delivered performance obligations. However, if the Company’s delivered performance obligation exceeds installments invoiced to the client, a contract asset is recognized. If the installments invoiced to the client exceed the work performed, a contract liability is recognized.
As a result of various commercial discussions with clients, the Company recognized revenue amounting to US$2 million in 2025 (2024: US$28 million) originating from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
Lease revenue recognized for leases where the Company is the lessor, for both operating and finance leases, relates to fixed and variable lease payments. Most of the Company’s revenue from lease contracts is based on fixed day-rates. To the extent that lease payments are dependent on an index or a rate, changes are excluded from the measurement of the lease receivable. The impact related to a change in index or a rate is recognized in the consolidated income statement from the date the change occurs.
