LETTER FROM THE CEO

In the second quarter of 2025 the company has entered into an agreement refinancing the interest-bearing debt. This marks a new chapter in the Company's financing outlook, with materially improved future cash flows. I'm also very pleased to report that subsequent the balance-sheet date yet more structural changes have been made which will improve the financial health of the group going forward.

On 30 June GEOS finalized refinancing of its interest-bearing debt by settling the SLB facility in full and drawing a new loan from Neptune Maritime Leasing Ltd. A total approved amount of the new loan, which is structured as a sale and leaseback agreement, is USD 95 million. GEOS Group secured financing with significantly improved terms, interest rates and an amortization profile that reflects current market conditions and the Group's risk profile.

Lower financing costs are expected to have positive effect on both the result and cash position of the Group going forward.

Despite oversupply in the market that resulted in reduced spot rates, the Company maintained stable operational performance.

GEOS remains committed to its strategy, which continued to deliver strong results during the quarter, further reinforcing the Group's strong position as a supplier of quality tonnage to Tier 1 clients. The fleet's utilization in the quarter was again solid with the Group's fleet contracted at very attractive day rates compared to the overall spot market.

The fair value of the fleet is consistently well above the book value, which indicates a considerable net asset value discount compared to the current share price. This is expected to continue attracting investors to the Company.

Our vision for growth and success remains firm. GEOS is well-positioned to leverage new opportunities in 2025 and beyond.

Best Regards,

Per Ivar Fagervoll, CEO – Golden Energy Offshore Services ASA

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Main events

In Q2 2025, the Group achieved time charter equivalent earnings of approximately NOK 196.6 thousand compared with NOK 226.4 thousand in same quarter last year per day for vessels in operation. The change in TCE is partly explained by a more challenging spot market in the North Sea at the end of Q2 2025 compared with a stronger market in the same period last year, and partly by a stronger NOK towards USD.

The Group operated seven platform supply vessels (PSVs) and two offshore construction vessels (OCVs) in the market during the quarter. All vessels are in excellent condition ready for continued operations. All periodic maintenance and dry docking in the period were successfully completed.

Having a healthy mix of vessels on spot contracts as well as on firm long-term contracts, the Group has a satisfactory financial risk profile on operating activities.

The Group had a utilization of approximately 96% during Q2 2025 compared to 92% in Q2 2024, significantly above the overall market. The utilization was 93% for the whole year 2024.

Despite the slowdown in the North Sea spot market at the end of the quarter, the Group has experienced high tender activity after the balance sheet date and favorable balance between supply and demand in the sector. With a firm backlog secured for the remainder of the year 2025 and well into 2026 of approximately NOK 199 million, and broker estimations that imply a healthy value of the Group´s vessels, we are optimistic for our future path.

Risk and uncertainties

Market Risks: The offshore services industry is highly dependent on the oil and gas industry. Fluctuations in oil and gas prices can significantly impact on the demand for offshore services.

Operational Risks: These include risks related to safety, technology, and equipment. Offshore operations are inherently risky, and accidents or failures can lead to significant costs.

Regulatory Risks: The industry is subject to numerous regulations related to environmental protection, safety, and other areas. Changes in these regulations can have a significant impact on operations and costs.

Financial Risks: This includes risks related to currency exchange rates, interest rates, and access to capital. Companies in this industry often have significant capital expenditure and may need to rely on external financing.

Geopolitical Risks: Offshore operations often take place in different parts of the world, and companies can be affected by political instability, changes in government policies, or international sanctions.

Climate Change and Energy Transition Risks: There is an increasing global focus on climate change and a shift towards renewable energy. This could reduce the demand for offshore oil and gas services and impact on the long-term viability of the industry.

ESG

The Group is committed to the protection of the environment and place high priority on environmental considerations in managing its business. We support initiatives that promote environmental responsibility. In addition to complying with environmental legislation, we will strive to do more where it makes sense, recognizing that individual contributions make a difference.

We commit to energy management and define goals for reducing fuel oil consumption, give high focus on Green Operations, Sustainability and be in the front seat when developing and testing new technology. How well we manage to reach our goals is thoroughly proven. We have a high focus on how our environmental footprint can be reduced, and how our operations can be optimized to contribute to the United Nations sustainability goals.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Profit and loss second quarter 2025

Freight revenue decreased by NOK 38.9 million or 28.7% to NOK 96.8 million in Q2 2025 from NOK 135.7 million in Q2 2024. The decrease is primarily due to lower rates caused by oversupply in the market.

Other revenues primarily comprise management revenues for the vessels Energy Sphynx and Energy Savanah, and are as expected.

Operating expenses of vessels increased by NOK 8.4 million or 16.2% to NOK 60.2 million in Q2 2025 compared to NOK 51.8 million in Q2 2024 due to increased operational costs following the expansion in fleet size, leading to a rise in management and administration fees in addition to general price increase.

In Q2 2025, the Group reported an EBITDA of NOK 39.0 million, a decrease from NOK 58.2 million in Q2 2024, reflecting the impact of lower revenues and partly mitigated by lower overall operating expenses during the period, with a larger fleet.

The Group had depreciation of NOK 23.8 million in Q2 2025 compared to NOK 19.0 million in Q2 2024, primarily resulting from depreciation of capitalized maintenance.

EBIT decreased by NOK 24.0 million to NOK 15.3 million in Q2 2025 compared to NOK 39.2 million in Q2 2024.

Net financial items for Q2 2025 amounted to negative NOK 94.5 million, compared to negative NOK 20.3 million in Q2 2024, representing a net financial result decrease of NOK 74.2 million. The change was primarily driven by additional financial charges related to repayment of the SLB facility.

Basic earnings per share in Q2 2025 were NOK -3.17 compared to NOK 0.09 in Q2 2024.

Financial position

The Group's total assets decreased by NOK 52.1 million to NOK 1 533.7 million as of 30 June 2025, compared to NOK 1 585.7 million as of 31 December 2024. On 30 June 2025, the Group's equity ratio was 25.9%, a decrease from 27.6% as of 31 December 2024. The decline is mostly due to the one-off financial impact on the profit and loss as a consequence of the refinancing of debt, refer to note 4 and 5.

The Company received a fleet valuation from two independent brokers as of 30 June 2025. The average valuation between the two shows a market value of NOK 1.9 billion compared with book value of NOK 1.4 billion.

The Group's net interest-bearing debt was NOK 933.7 million as of June 2025, compared to NOK 937.7 million as of 31 December 2024. The net interest-bearing debt has decreased primarily as a result of debt repayments during the period, and the terms and conditions for the restructured debt are materially improved.

Cash flow second quarter 2025

In Q2 2025, the net cash inflow from operating activities amounted to an outflow of NOK 9.2 million, compared with an inflow of NOK 23.7 million during the corresponding quarter of 2024. The primary factors contributing to this change, other than loss before income tax are the non-cash elements depreciation of NOK 23.8 million and interest expenses of NOK 26.6 million as well as a reduction in trade receivables amounting to NOK 19.0 million.

Net cash outflow from investment activities was NOK 27.1 million in Q2 2025, compared to an outflow of NOK 14.0 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The factors primarily contributing to the outflow from investing activities during Q2 2025 were regular docking related to Energy Pace.

Net cash inflow from financing activities was NOK 52.5 million in Q2 2025, compared to a net cash outflow of NOK 4.1 million during Q2 2024. The cash outflow in Q2 2025 consists of the effects from financing and normal interest paid and debt repayments.

As of 30 June 2025, the Group's cash position amounted to NOK 17.6 million and increase from NOK 1.4 million in the beginning of the quarter. Future cash flows are expected to improve materially.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Material events that took place after the balance sheet date:

  • On 11 July 2025 the Company completed refinancing transaction for the vessel Energy Swan by drawing a new loan for USD 10 million. With USD 270 thousand deposited in reserve accounts, transaction fees incurred amounting to USD 189 thousand, the Company received net cash proceeds of USD 9 541 thousand (equivalent to NOK 96 613 thousand).
