Tonje Foss, CEO of Frøy ASA (“Frøy” or the “Company”) comment:
“Q2 22 was a busy quarter for Frøy with a normal seasonal increase in activity, we secured multiple new agreements and increased our backlog. We also placed an order for a new 4.500 m3 wellboat and paid our first dividend during Q2. Revenues continue to increase driven by new vessels on time charter contracts. EBITDA in the quarter was, however, impacted by high fuel costs and unscheduled off-hire and maintenance on two wellboats”.
Key milestones in Q2 22 were:
• NOK 200m increased backlog vs. Q1 22
• + 300 treatments completed with new combination method for removal of sea lice – documenting improvement in efficiency and fish welfare
• New 4.500 m3 wellboat ordered in May, scheduled for delivery mid 2024
• NOK 130 million dividend distributed to shareholders in June
“We continue to see positive demand drivers for aqua service specialists with knowledge and equipment to solve business critical day to day farming operations in a safe, efficient, and sustainable manner. Tightening Government regulations is expected to further increase demand for Frøy´s specialized services. In Q2 we have taken several important steps towards creating an efficient digitalized platform which we believe will be key to increase efficiency and deliver industry leading solutions in the years to come.
