Statement from the CEO
The third quarter of 2025 was another strong quarter in both operational and financial performance for DOF Group ASA.
This quarter was marked by a continued commitment to operational excellence, reflected in strong performance across all business units. Client feedback has been exceptionally positive, highlighting our reliability, responsiveness, and value creation. These results reinforce the strength of our operating model and the dedication of our teams in consistently exceeding client expectations.
The high number of contract awards continued in Q3 and the backlog exceeds USD 5.1 billion as of this report, of which the backlog for execution in 2026 is USD 1.5 billion, providing a strong foundation and a high degree of visibility for next year’s earnings.
We have advanced our fleet optimisation strategy through the divestment of three smaller AHTS vessels during the quarter, further high-grading and strengthening the overall quality of our fleet.
By issuing a USD 150 million bond loan, financing the newbuild Skandi Norseman and repaying the only near-term maturity, we have further strengthened the financial position of the Group. This, together with the strong operational results and increased backlog allows us to increase the Q3 dividend to USD 0.35/share payable in November.
The outlook for the rest of 2025 remains strong, and we narrow our EBITDA guidance range to USD 750 – 760 million.
Please see enclosed 3rd quarter Financial Report 2025 and presentation.
