Aqualis ASA: Q1 2016 financial results
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, Norway - April 26, 2016:
Key highlights
* Revenues of USD 6.9 million in Q1 2016 vs USD 11.4 million in Q1 2015
* Operating loss (EBIT) of USD 1.5 million in Q1 2016 vs EBIT of USD 0.5
million in Q1 2015
* The results have been hurt by weaker than expected market conditions in the
oil and gas market and a consequently too low billing ratio. The trading
conditions improved in March
* Capacity and cost adjustments continue to take effect and being implemented
across the group
* Increased market push to secure new contracts/new clients with some good
results
* Strengthened market position within offshore wind market with 6 month
outlook
* Seasonal slowdown for ADLER Solar in the winter months but with positive
2016 outlook
* Order back-log of USD 10.5 million vs USD 17.1 million a year earlier
* Closing cash balance of USD 13.2 million vs USD 14.9 million a quarter
earlier
* Continued solid HSE performance, no lost time incidents during the quarter
* 193 employees1 vs 220 a quarter earlier
David Wells, CEO of Aqualis ASA said:
"The O&G market started the year slower and weaker than we expected,
particularly in January and February, but we have been encouraged by the recent
numbers of small consultancy opportunities that we are identifying and winning
in this tight market.
Being adaptive and having the ability to respond quickly to market changes is
the key going forwards given that opportunities are becoming increasingly
competitive. Year 2016 is going to be challenging for the whole industry but
there are some exciting opportunities. By contrast the markets for offshore
renewables and solar have started the year firmly justifying our decision not to
rely on a single market"
