Key Points

Positve
  • Net profit surged 54% year-on-year to $212 million excluding divestment gains, reflecting genuine operational improvement.
  • Gross profit margin expanded by 120 basis points to 8.6%, driven by higher-margin projects and cost discipline.
  • Net order book remains robust at $13.3 billion with 95% series-built projects, providing strong earnings visibility through 2033.
  • Global pipeline of opportunities stands at $32 billion, with growing prospects in FLNG, FSRU, and offshore wind.
  • Balance sheet strengthened with $3.4 billion liquidity, net leverage improved to 0.5x, and free cash flow turned positive at $237 million.
  • Successful divestment program unlocked $167 million in cash, including the recent sale of an accommodation vessel above book value.
  • Company remains on track to achieve FY2028 steady-state targets, with revenue annualizing within the $10-12 billion range.
  • Strong competitive positioning in FPSO EPCC tenders, leveraging proven track record and Brazilian yards for local content requirements.
  • Repairs and upgrades business refocused on higher-value segments like cruise, naval, and drilling rigs, expected to boost margins.
  • Shareholder returns supported by near-completion of $100 million buyback and plans for a new program.
Negative
  • New order wins in the first half were modest at just over $100 million, reflecting a quiet market and delayed FID decisions.
  • Offshore wind segment revenue declined 21% due to lower contributions from legacy projects and temporary project timing slowdowns.
  • Closeout provision related to the delivered WTIV partially offset margin improvements.
  • Ongoing Middle East tensions have reduced MRO activity and increased operational costs, impacting the other segment.
  • The Petrobras SIAP projects were removed from the pipeline, reducing South American opportunities from $12 billion to $8 billion.
  • Ship chartering business is being fully divested, eliminating a source of operating profit, though proceeds are expected to be reinvested.
  • Legacy non-FPSO projects still represent about 1% of the order book, though less than $140 million in value.
  • Geopolitical uncertainties and oil price volatility could affect project timelines and cost structures.
  • The company faces intense competition in FPSO tenders, particularly under the new BOT model, which may alter risk profiles.
  • Execution risks remain on large complex projects like P80, P82, and Shell Sparta, with sail-away scheduled for second-half 2026.
