Second quarter results 2013
16 August 2013 - Kvaerner reported operating revenues of NOK 3 616 million in
the second quarter 2013. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to NOK 163 million, resulting in an EBITDA margin
of 4.5 percent. The order backlog amounted to NOK 29.6 billion.
"The activity has been very high this quarter and both jackets for the Clair
Ridge project were delivered. We focus on project execution and further
development of our delivery models. At Stord, the new crane with a lifting
capacity of 800 tonnes, is being installed. The crane is important for the
yard's capacity to assemble large platform modules," says Jan Arve Haugan,
President & CEO of Kvaerner.
Operating revenues in the second quarter 2013 amounted to NOK 3 616 million,
compared with NOK 3 000 million for second quarter 2012. The revenue level is
reflecting high activity on all on-going projects and the activity level is
expected to remain high throughout the year.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) for the
quarter were NOK 163 million, compared with NOK 85 million in the same period
last year. The EBITDA margin for the second quarter 2013 was 4.5 percent, up
from 2.8 percent in the corresponding period in 2012.
Order intake in second quarter 2013 totalled NOK 2 305 million, including the
scope of work of jointly controlled entities. This compares to NOK 15 427
million in second quarter 2012. As of 30 June 2013 the order backlog, including
the scope of work of jointly controlled entities, amounted to NOK 29 637
million.
"The solid backlog with on-going projects gives us an opportunity to improve
cost control and strengthen our competitiveness. We focus on executing our
projects in a safe manner while positioning ourselves for new tenders", says
Haugan.
In line with the dividend policy, the Board of Directors has proposed to pay a
cash dividend of NOK 0.58 per share in October 2013.
