Statement from the CEO
The DOF Group is delivering a good start to 2025 with strong project execution and a solid first quarter EBITDA of USD 158 million, representing an improvement from Q4 2024 and close to 40% increase from first quarter last year.
The performance is, as expected, impacted by the integration of the DOF Denmark fleet to the DOF commercial platform with multiple vessel mobilisations and transits affecting the utilisation. The DOF Denmark EBITDA contribution for the quarter was USD 27 million and the utilisation of the fleet was 68%. We remain confident that the contribution from the DOF Denmark fleet will improve through 2025.
We have secured multiple large contracts in the first quarter utilising the inhouse capabilities of the subsea regions and the large fleet of high-end vessels. This together with the strong backlog and the continued high tendering activity gives confidence in the continued performance of the group. The EBITDA guidance range for 2025 is narrowed to USD 730 – 790 million.
The refinancing process was concluded in March as planned and we look forward to making our first quarterly dividend payment of USD 0.3 per share in June. We expect significant backlog additions in the next months to further increase earnings visibility. When the increased visibility materialises, we will target the upper end of the communicated leverage range of 1.5 – 2.0x NIBD / LTM EBITDA and thus see potential to increase the quarterly dividends going forwards by returning excess cash to our shareholders.
Please see enclosed 1st quarter Financial Report 2025 and presentation.
