ABL Group ASA: Subsidiary awarded sizeable contract in Indonesia

Energy and marine consultancy ABL, a subsidiary of ABL Group ASA, has been awarded a sizeable* contract to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services to bp’s Tangguh UCC project in Indonesia.

The Tangguh UCC Project comprises Ubadari field development, enhanced gas recovery through carbon capture, utilization and storage (EGR/CCUS) and onshore compression, operated by bp in Papua Barat Province, Indonesia.

Tangguh’s EGR/CCUS, part of the UCC Project, aims to be the first CCUS project developed at scale in Indonesia, with potential for sequestering around 15 million tonnes of CO2 from Tangguh’s emissions in its initial phase.

P.T. JGC Indonesia has been contracted by bp as the Onshore Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) Contract for the Tangguh UCC Project in Indonesia and will be responsible for installation of the onshore compression facilities at the Tangguh LNG Plant.

New units at the onshore LNG facility mainly consist of Hydrocarbon Compressors (2,350 MMSCFD) to boost natural gas pressure from the existing gas wells, EGR Compressors (270 MMSCFD) to collect and compress acid gas from the existing acid gas removal unit, and a newly-built combined cycle power plant as well as associated utilities.

P.T. JGC Indonesia has contracted ABL to support their scope through the provision of Marine Warranty Survey Services. ABL’s operations in Indonesia have been awarded the contract and will manage the project’s scope of work, which includes the technical review of project documentation, drawings and calculations relating to the transportation of the warranted cargoes, and suitability surveys of the proposed transportation fleet for these cargos.

ABL will also provide on-site attendances to witness and approve the RoRo (roll-on, roll-off) and LoLo (lift on, lift off), loadout, transportation and discharge of modules from Indonesian fabrications facilities along with associated long-lead/ high value, cargo shipments from various Asian and European ports to the Tangguh site in Papua Barat Province, Indonesia.

It will resource the in-country site attendances locally out of its Jakarta and Batam offices. Further, it will draw upon the support of ABL’s wider global footprint to provide site attendance and vessel surveys in the required international project locations.  

“This project combines both ABL’s market-leading reputation in marine warranty survey and the wider ABL Group’s proven expertise in key energy transition technologies, including in CCUS and geothermal. We are delighted to be appointed to support JGC – and bp – in this important initiative to help Indonesia meet its growing energy demand. It is a testament to both our historic legacy in Indonesian marine and energy sectors, with a long-term track-record in-country, as well as to our recognised status worldwide to support clients in complex large-scale projects of this type.”

Reuben Segal, CEO of ABL Group ASA

*ABL Group defines a sizeable contract as between USD 1 and 3 million in expected value.

ABL Group ASA: Awards under Long Term and Short Term employee incentive programs

Reference is made to ABL Group ASA’s (the Company) stock exchange notice dated 8 March 2024.

Based on 2024 results and after evaluation of the performance criteria, the Company has awarded 134,383 shares to employees as part of its Short Term Incentive Program (STIP) and 440,386 shares to employees as part of its Long Term Incentive Program (LTIP).

Settlement of shares under the STIP will be done through use of treasury shares. Following completion of the settlement under STIP, ABL Group owns a total of 113,830 of its own shares, corresponding to 0,087 % of ABL Group’s share capital.

With respect to the LTIP 2024, the employees will surrender their 2024 Performance Share Units (PSUs) and in return LTIP shares will be delivered to the relevant employees in 2026 (50% of award) and 2027 (50% of award), provided the employee remains employed with ABL Group through the settlement dates as well as no breach of employment conditions and/or ABL Group Code of Conduct.

In addition, as part of LTIP 2025, the Company will issue new awards of PSUs to key employees of the Company, being part of the executive and senior leadership teams (each a PSU Holder). The PSUs give the PSU Holder the right to receive shares in the Company depending on the achievement of certain performance criteria and subject to continued employment on the relevant settlement dates. The conversion of PSUs to shares will be determined by performance against two target metrics: (i) group adjusted EBIT and (ii) return on capital employed. Each of the performance metrics is measured for the period 1 January 2025 through 31 December 2025. The Company will notify each PSU Holder of the total achieved performance and the number of shares earned by the PSU Holder after announcement of the Q4 results for 2025. The shares will be delivered to the PSU Holder in 2027 (50%) and 2028 (50%), provided the PSU Holder remains employed with ABL Group through the settlement dates, as well as no breach of employment conditions and/or ABL Group Code of Conduct. Settlement of PSUs will be done through use of treasury shares or by issuance of new shares, as decided by the Board of Directors. A total of 1,100,000 shares are to be designated for settlement of the 2025 PSUs, which takes into account the maximum achievement under the scheme.

The Company will also continue the annual STIP for all employees in the group. All employees are awarded a bonus opportunity subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. The performance under the STIP for the financial year 2025 will be considered by the Board after announcement of the Q4 results for 2025.

ABL Group ASA: Q1 2025 financial results

HIGHLIGHTS Q1 2025

  • Revenues of USD 81.7 million (Q1 24: USD 68.9 million)
  • Operating profit of USD 1.8 million (Q1 24: USD 3.4 million)
  • Adjusted EBIT of USD 3.1 million (Q1 24: USD 3.7 million)
  • Net cash of USD 3.5 million (Q4 24: USD 4.8 million)
  • Proposed semi-annual dividend of NOK 0.45 per share in H1 2025 upheld
  • Acquisition of Techconsult announced, to be consolidated from Q2

Reuben Segal, CEO of ABL Group ASA (“ABL Group” or the “Company”), commented:
“Headwinds in the renewable energy market have been joined by geopolitical uncertainty, which combine to delay decision-making in more traditional sectors. However, despite more challenging markets, our actions in late 2024 have allowed us to maintain profitability levels.

Revenue growth compared to the same period last year was exclusively driven by the acquisitions of Ross Offshore and Proper Marine, partially offset by lower ABL revenues. The consolidation of Ross Offshore, a structurally lower margin business, makes more recent comparisons more relevant and we have seen a small increase in margins since Q4 2024.

Client decision making is inevitably impacted by a more uncertain backdrop, exacerbated in the past quarter, and so our outlook remains mixed. In the oil and gas market, we now anticipate a largely flat market in 2025, with some regional demand shifts. Our maritime market remains relatively stable, and strong tendering performance in the global renewables markets provides some indication of revived confidence in a market that has struggled for two years now. ABL Group remains well placed in all markets with a strong delivery platform and leading reputation with clients.”

A presentation of the quarterly results will be held today at 08:30 CET at SpareBank 1 Markets’ office at Olav Vs gate 5, 0161 Oslo. The event will be webcast live and available for replay shortly after. To watch the webcast, please visit our Reports and Presentations page.
