Statement from the CEO
The second quarter of 2025 was a quarter of strong operational and financial performance for DOF Group ASA, capitalising on the momentum that we have been building.
I am pleased that we are now starting to see the earnings potential of the DOF Denmark fleet materialise. After a period of transits and mobilisations following closing of the acquisition in November 2024, the DOF Denmark fleet demonstrated increased utilisation at 82% and EBITDA at USD 45 million for Q2. Beyond that, I am also very happy to see the strong performance of the ‘legacy’ DOF fleet, delivering EBITDA of USD 169 million compared to USD 122 million in Q2 2024.
The quarter contained significant additions to the backlog driven by new long-term contract awards in Brazil. Further contract announcements have followed in the start of Q3, and the total backlog including additions after the balance date for Q2 now exceeds USD 4 billion. The backlog provides good earnings visibility for the years to come, with several vessels having secured work through this decade at attractive terms.
We commenced our quarterly dividend payments in June with USD 0.3 per share, and the next one is coming up in September. Based on the Group’s solid earnings, outlook and financial position, we are committed to continue to deliver attractive cash returns to our shareholders.
The outlook for the rest of 2025 remains strong, and we narrow our EBITDA guidance range to USD 740 – 770 million.
