Stavanger, 14 August 2025: Continued high activity resulted in revenue of NOK
2.7 billion and an adjusted EBITDA of NOK 363 million for Moreld ASA ("Moreld"
or "the company") in the second quarter.
For the first six months of the year, revenues totaled NOK 5.5 billion,
corresponding to a year-over-year increase of 35 per cent, driven by the
execution of several large subsea projects and increased activity on
maintenance contracts.
"During the quarter, two large subsea installation projects were successfully
concluded by Ocean Installer, and Moreld Apply delivered over 30 per cent top
line growth driven by high activity on major maintenance and modification
contracts. Tender activity across the subsidiaries remains at record levels,
underpinned by strong offshore energy markets," said Geir Austigard, CEO of
Moreld.
Guidance and outlook for 2025
Following a strong first half of 2025, Moreld increases its EBITDA guidance
for 2025 from NOK 0.95 - 1.2 billion to NOK 1.0 -- 1.2 billion. Moreld enters
the second half of 2025 with high activity levels in all its business areas,
and sees strong demand for its services, particularly on the Norwegian
Continental Shelf (NCS).
Moreld remains well positioned to capitalize on both near-term offshore
activity and emerging longer-term opportunities also within renewables and the
onshore market. Moreld has a strong tender pipeline, with decisions expected
to be taken on key contract awards in the remainder of 2025.
