OPERATIONS

Group structure

The activities in the Group are organised into IWS Fleet AS ("IWS Fleet"), IWS Services AS ("IWS Services"), and the associated company PEAK Wind A/S ("PEAK Wind").

IWS Fleet is the owner and operator of high-end CSOVs with four newbuildings under construction at the leading shipyard CMI.

For IWS Services2 , the two Danish offshore wind service/consulting companies ProCon Group ApS3 ("ProCon") and Green Ducklings A/S4 ("Green Ducklings") form the base of the supply chain service offerings.

The 30%5 owned PEAK Wind is the leading provider of operations and asset management services to wind farms and is classified as an associated company.

These companies form the base of Integrated Wind Solutions' ("IWS" or the "Group") strategy of becoming the preferred service provider within the offshore wind sector.

Group management

The group management team consists of CEO Lars-Henrik Røren, COO Christopher Andersen Heidenreich and CFO Marius Magelie.

IWS Fleet site office at CMI

Market observations

Offshore wind

Offshore wind has seen high activity during the second quarter of 2022. Construction activity is high in European incumbent countries, and the first turbines for major wind farms now being installed in key new markets such as France and the US.

The war in Ukraine with a subsequent energy crisis in Europe has shifted attention to the topic of energy security to become less reliant on imported Russian gas. For many European countries, offshore wind has been launched as one of the key drivers of this transition.

The offshore wind market is nevertheless not excluded by the global inflationary pressure and supply chain disruptions, which could also increase the cost of offshore wind. The sector, in general, should, however, not be more affected compared with other renewable energy sources.

The European target remains 125-130 GW of offshore wind installed in 2030, and European countries continue to increase their offshore wind ambitions.

As a clear example, the four prime ministers of Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands co-signed a joint declaration in Denmark in May, quadrupling the four countries' offshore wind capacity to 65GW in 2030 and a tenfold increase to at least 150GW in 2050.

Another key trend to observe is the push for clever grid system integration across offshore wind projects leveraging benefits from power-to-X ("PtX") and alternative fuel. A trend driven by the need to provide decarbonized energy to heavy transport and industry.

Green Ducklings consider +130GW in 2030 as achievable, but the significant uncertainty related to substantial supply chain and grid infrastructure constraints and lengthy project permitting processes remains. Potentially pressure has also been further increased by dynamics outside Europe e.g. the new Inflation Reduction Act 2022, increasing historic investments in clean energy in the US.

Market for CSOVs

Shorter-term charter rates for CSOVs and walk-to-work ("W2W") vessels have increased (and stabilised at higher levels) in Q2 2022 and compared with Q1 2022 and Q2 2021.

The combination of high growth in offshore wind farm activity and an improved market for oil & gas and subsea globally that removes capacity from offshore wind, are the main drivers. Several IMR/Subsea vessels have been fixed long-term at rates above historical levels in the W2W market and we expect this trend to continue.

According to Clarksons, there are limited, if any, availability of high-end tier 1 and tier 2 W2W vessels in the short term. Furthermore, the global fleet of CSOVs and SOVs counted 38 vessels in operations of which 23 are considered "Tier 1". The total orderbook consists of 27 vessels, of which four vessels have been ordered by IWS.

With limited new supply, coupled with continued growth in offshore wind farm development as well as a stronger oil and gas market, we see the market for CSOV vessels continue to improve.

MAIN EVENTS DURING Q2 AND POST-QUARTER EVENTS

Newbuildings

The company has ordered four CSOVs from CMI with an expected delivery of the first vessel, IWS Skywalker, during Q2 2023. The second vessel, IWS Windwalker, is scheduled for Q4 2023 delivery.

The yard is progressing well on the first two CSOVs under construction. The first steel cut for IWS Seawalker and IWS Starwalker is scheduled for Q3 2022 and Q4 2022, respectively.

The firm average yard price for the four vessels is about EUR 46m per vessel (turnkey contracts). About 50% of the vessel value is related to Norwegian export companies providing advanced technology ensuring safe and efficient operations.

The global shipyards are not immune to the global supply-chain pressure, and there are general risks related to the timing of delivery of key components.

Employment

IWS Fleet has been notified by the Dogger Bank Consortium that they intend to sign a charter contract for the third phase of the wind farm development, Dogger Bank C. The charter will commence in 2025 and the contract is being documented with expected signing during H2 2022. The company has already secured two separate charter contracts with the Dogger Bank consortium with a start-up in 2023 and 2024.

Fleet and contract overview

1) The contract will be effective when contractual documentation is completed, expected in Q3 2022.

Financing

In March, the company raised gross proceeds of NOK 350 million in a private placement by issuing 10,937,500 new shares at a subscription price of NOK 32 per share. The private placement was divided into two tranches of which 8,800,349 shares were allocated in tranche 1 and issued in March. Tranche 2 consisting of 2,137,151 shares was issued in April after it was passed by the Extraordinary General Meeting, corresponding to proceeds of NOK 68 million.

In April, the company signed the EUR 56.25 million Senior Secured Credit Facility with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB ("SEB"), SpareBank 1 SR-Bank ASA ("SR Bank"), and Export Finance Norway ("Eksfin"). The proceeds of the facility will be used for long-term post-delivery financing of the Company's two first CSOV newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 2023.

Corporate

In June, the company entered a strategic partnership, through its subsidiary IWS Fleet, with the major French offshore marine service company, Bourbon, to address the French commissioning and maintenance market of offshore wind farms. This will allow Bourbon to market and operate the CSOVs in France. With this partnership, the ambition is to offer a range of services dedicated to offshore wind farms in the French market.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income statement

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was NOK 56.2 million, of which ProCon contributed NOK 53.6 million and the group's share of net profit in PEAK Wind was NOK 1.3 million.

The investment in PEAK Wind, where IWS has an ownership of 30%, is accounted for using the equity method. The Group's proportionate share of the net result in PEAK Wind in the second quarter of 2022 was NOK 2.2 million (NOK 2.1 million in Q1 2022), and NOK -0.9 million amortisation of excess values related to intangible assets identified in the Purchase Price Allocation ("PPA") at the time of the investment. The Group's share of net result in PEAK Wind after amortisation increased by 30% QoQ before accounting adjustments.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were NOK 59.6 million compared with NOK 57.9 million in the previous quarter. The increase is due to NOK 4.8m higher costs in ProCon (mainly increased project-related costs) and NOK 3.3 million lower costs in the Company driven by bonuses paid in Q1.

EBITDA was NOK -3.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with NOK -7.0 million in the previous quarter. ProCon, PEAK Wind and Green Ducklings contributed NOK 4.6 million, NOK 1.3 million, and NOK -0.4 million, respectively, with the other Group entities contributing a combined EBITDA of NOK -9.0 million. For ProCon, the margins are expected to fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the various project mix and progress.

Finance expenses increased to NOK 1.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared with 0.8 million in the previous quarter because of negative interest rate on increased holdings of cash in Euro.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was NOK 4.5 million compared with a net loss of NOK 9.0 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Liquidity and financial position

Total cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 443 million at quarter-end, up from NOK 415 million at the end of the previous quarter. The net increase is mainly explained by the second tranche of the equity issue of NOK 68 million in April, and payment of instalments to the shipyard and other costs related to the CSOVs under construction of NOK 43 million.

The carrying value of vessels under construction of NOK 376 million includes the yard instalments on "IWS Skywalker" and "IWS Windwalker", and the first instalments on "IWS Seawalker" and "IWS Starwalker" ordered in March and accumulated directly attributable project costs and borrowing costs during the construction period. Please see Note 4 – Commitments and contingencies for more details on the payment structure of the newbuilding contracts.

The intangible assets of NOK 68 million include goodwill and other intangible assets recognised as part of the acquisition of ProCon and Green Ducklings in the third quarter of 2021.

Other non-current assets relate to borrowing costs, paid on the Senior Secured Credit Facility, that will be capitalised as part of vessels under construction.

Other current assets of NOK 64 million at quarter-end, compared with NOK 45 million at the previous quarter end, consist mainly of trade receivables related to construction contracts in ProCon.

Book equity on 30 June 2022 was NOK 1,034 million and total assets were NOK 1 116 million, giving an equity ratio of 93% at quarter-end.

Comparative figures

Integrated Wind Solutions ASA was incorporated in July 2020. There were no operating activities of significance before the fourth quarter of 2021 when the subsidiary ProCon and the associated company PEAK Wind were included in the group financial statements.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for the offshore wind industry remains highly positive.

We continuously observe that private, as well as public and government initiatives and ambitions, are growing. Offshore wind has become a truly global industry with foreseeable high growth numbers.

The IWS group of companies is well-positioned to take part in this growth within its relevant segments providing CSOVs (IWS Fleet), electrical works and above-waterline services (ProCon), offshore wind market intelligence (Green Ducklings), and the consultancy & advisory and operations & asset management services of wind farms provided by PEAK Wind.

The offshore wind industry including IWS is, however, not protected from issues related to supply-chain turbulence caused directly and indirectly by the ongoing war in Ukraine

and covid-19 quarantine issues that remain a challenge in parts of the world.

ProCon mainly works on long-lead contracts, secured 3-12 months in advance. 2022 seems to be a year with high productivity and strong execution of backlog. With this high expected activity level in 2022, we foresee a somewhat lower activity in H1 23. However, from H2 2023 onwards, the foundation and transition piece installation activity is expected to increase again backed by already announced projects.

PEAK Wind is expected to continue its strong growth and expand its geographical scope and offerings.

Management continues to focus on building a strong foundation and platform to secure the long-term success of the Group.

APPENDIX A – ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Financial APMs are intended to enhance the comparability of the results and cash flows from period to period, and it is the Group's experience that these are frequently used by analysts and investors.

The APMs are adjusted IFRS measures that are defined, calculated, and used consistently over time. Operational measures such as, but not limited to, volumes and utilisation are not defined as financial APMs. Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. Disclosures of APMs are subject to established internal control procedures.

The Group's financial APMs are:

  • EBIT: Operating revenue Operating expenses Administration expenses - Depreciation and amortisation
  • EBITDA: EBIT + Depreciation and amortisation
  • Interest-bearing debt: Long-term interest-bearing debt + Short-term interest-bearing debt + Pension liabilities
  • Book equity ratio: Total equity / Total assets

The reconciliation of Total revenue, EBIT and EBITDA with IFRS figures can be derived directly from the Group's consolidated Income Statement.
