Oslo/ Amsterdam - 28 February 2017. Oceanteam ASA has recorded US$ 11.2 million revenues from operations and an EBITDA of US$ 2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Although faced with a nett loss of US$ 3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Dutch-Norwegian offshore service provider is fully on track for future growth, says CEO Haico Halbesma who reached an agreement on new terms with its bondholders after 2016 year ending. As a result, Oceanteam ASA, will have a significantly improved free cash flow and structural lower interest costs as from January 1st 2017, creating a healthy foundation for further growth.
In the fourth quarter 2016 (hereafter indicated as Q4), the Company's operations met performance forecasts under very challenging market conditions. The company also made solid progress in terms of increasing the share of revenues from its Solutions division, which came in at 40% in Q4 underlining the success of its market diversification strategy.
For Oceanteam, Q4 was a combination of business as usual and preparing the company for a future of high performance and returns. "The management and the teams of our operating companies were very much focused on their day-to-day market opportunities and challenges. These included securing our vessel charter rates and current backlog and tendering for new contracts, especially in the field of equipment and engineering solutions. Additionally, they were exploring new opportunities in areas such as renewable energy and civil engineering.
In late October 2016, the Executive Board and management initiated proactive and constructive talks with our bondholders and banks to discuss a new capital foundation for the company.
Wilhelm Bohn, recently appointed as CFO of Oceanteam ASA, comments: "We expect to announce the new terms we have since agreed with our bondholders shortly after the publication of the Q4 press release and Q4 report. We believe the new agreement reflects the firm belief all the stakeholders involved have in the future direction and proven track record of our company. Thanks to the agreement with its bondholders and including the sale of the North Ocean 105 (expected effective no later than 1 May 2017), Oceanteam ASA has secured the financing it needs and safeguarded its continuity as a going concern."
Business areas
The current state of the Oil & Gas market is expected to remain challenging for the coming period, according to the Company.
"However, our early focus on Offshore Renewables, Engineering & Logistic Solutions, plus our expansion in certain geographical areas, will help the company to safely navigate the current market low, as well as the structural changes in the Oil & Gas market", comments CEO Halbesma. "We are also in the process of creating new revenue sources in the field of civil engineering, offshore-related logistic solutions, while using the same core capabilities that have made Oceanteam the distinguished niche player it is known as today.
