  • Entry into rig inspection market using team of dedicated specialists
  • Order backlog increased moderately to USD 8.9 million

David Wells, CEO of Aqualis ASA said:

“I am pleased that we, in challenging market conditions in the oil and gas sector, have turned around the business and achieved strong underlying results throughout 2017. Most of our entities have delivered robust results underpinned by strong operational performance and some solid new wins.

Our activity in the offshore wind sector remains very positive, given the highly competitive business environment in this sector. We have strengthened our market position and were able to take the first steps of expansion into North American operations.

The development in ADLER Solar has disappointed. The increased bidding activity experienced over the past couple of quarters have failed to materialize in sales as expected and losses have continued. The strategic initiatives and cost measures have not offset the fall in the activity level. Management’s and owners expectations have not been met and the economic outlook is challenging and uncertain.

Our view is that the upcycle has started, but it is likely to take some time for this to properly manifest itself through to increased activity in all regions/markets” says Mr. David Wells, CEO of Aqualis ASA.”

  • Continued solid HSE performance and no lost time incidents (LTIs) during the quarter

David Wells, CEO of Aqualis ASA said:

“I am pleased that we, in challenging market conditions in the oil and gas sector, have achieved three consecutive quarters of positive operating profit. Most of our entities have delivered robust results underpinned by strong operational performance and important client wins.

The offshore wind sector remains active and highly competitive. We continue to leverage our growing reputation to strengthen our market position. We have managed to widen our global operations and won recently our first contract in the US market.

ADLER Solar has increased the bidding activity over the past months, but sales have taken longer time to close as the company is focusing on larger projects with longer lead times. The results are expected to improve in Q4 2017 and additional profitability measures have been and are being implemented to improve profitability.

There are indications that the oil and gas market may have bottomed out, but we still expect market conditions to remain challenging in 2017 and 2018. We have set up a good platform from which to rebuild, strengthen our business model and deliver excellent service to our customers” says Mr. David Wells, CEO of Aqualis ASA.”
