Dear shareholders

First quarter impacted by activity reduction

For the first quarter of the year, Moreld's revenue amounted to NOK 1.4 billion, while the adjusted EBITDA was negative NOK 93 million. The results reflect a temporary reduction in project activity, in line with previous communication.

During the quarter Ocean Installer proactively scheduled dry-docking of the North Sea Giant, preparing the vessel for work scopes in the years ahead. Certain project activities were also pushed into the next quarters, further impacting the quarterly results.

Developments in the quarter

Performance in the quarter was impacted by lower activity levels in parts of the business, partly offset by improving operational momentum toward the end of the period. Activity increased as projects ramped up and both construction vessels returned to offshore operations.

Ocean Installer experienced a seasonally weak quarter, with limited offshore activity. A scheduled vessel drydocking and a softer spot market, resulted in a negative EBITDA contribution. At the same time, underlying activity remained high, with extensive engineering, procurement and project preparation across a broad portfolio, positioning for multiple offshore campaigns. The company also strengthened its commercial position through new contract awards and continued strategic progress, including expansion into Brazil.

Moreld Apply maintained stable operations within its M&M portfolio. While revenues declined compared to the previous quarter, margins improved to above five per cent, supported by stronger execution and milestone progress toward period-end. The organisation continued to manage complex project deliveries with a strong emphasis on cost control, supplier follow-up and operational efficiency, including progress toward completion of the Eirin tie-back project.

Global Maritime reported a weaker quarter, impacted by delayed project start-ups, reduced utilisation and regional geopolitical effects. Activity improved through the period, particularly within Marine Operations, and the segment enters the next quarter with stronger momentum. The award of the TetraSpar decommissioning project highlights Global Maritime's capabilities and supports its position in the offshore renewables market.

> While the first quarter reflects a transitional period, Moreld is well positioned for the quarters ahead.

Preparing for the next act

Moreld is entering a phase of increasing activity. The tender pipeline remains robust, providing a solid foundation for improved performance.

Ocean Installer is moving into a significantly more active phase, with both vessels in operation, a solid backlog and several offshore campaigns ahead. Moreld Apply continues to adapt its organisation to expected market developments while safeguarding core competence and strengthening execution. Global Maritime is also seeing improving utilisation and a strengthening pipeline, supported by a more flexible operating model.

Overall, while the first quarter reflects a transitional period, Moreld is well positioned for the quarters ahead. With increasing activity levels and attractive market opportunities, the company is preparing to deliver stronger performance as momentum builds through 2026.

Sincerely,

Geir Austigard
Chief executive officer

Financial review

Profit and loss

In the first quarter, Moreld delivered revenue of NOK 1381 million and an EBITDA result of NOK 47 million. Adjusted EBITDA excl. IFRS 16° ended at negative NOK 93 million. The operating result ended at negative NOK 167 million.

Interest cost in the first quarter amounted to NOK 72 million, and net financial expenses ended at negative NOK 14 million. Net profit before tax for the first quarter ended at negative NOK 181 million.

Financial position and liquidity

Gross interest-bearing debt excl. lease liabilities at the end of the first quarter was NOK 1268 million, consisting of the USD 130 million bond that was raised in February 2025.

In addition to the cash balance of NOK 933 million, Moreld has unused credit facilities of NOK 200 million.

This gives a net interest-bearing debt excl. lease liabilities at the end of the first quarter of NOK 335 million.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operations in the quarter ended at positive NOK 71 million, excluding lease payments, as these are considered as financing activities under IFRS. Cash flow from investing activities ended at negative NOK 14 million. Cash flow from financing activities ended at negative NOK 217 million. The cash flow from financing activities is mainly impacted by lease payments accounted for under IFRS 16 and NOK 75 million dividend paid in February.

The cash balance includes NOK 93 million in prepayments from customers which will be used to fund ongoing projects. The revolving credit facility of NOK 200 million in place with SR-Bank remains untapped as of end of March 2026. Moreld was in compliance with all covenants as of end of the first quarter.

Segment update

Moreld is organised in three segments:

  • Moreld Apply
  • Ocean Installer
  • Global Maritime

Moreld Apply

Moreld Apply is a provider of Maintenance & Modifications (M&M) services on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and in the onshore industrial market, delivering both routine tasks and larger modification projects under long-term agreements typically spanning 3-5 years, with additional options. These contracts, often include call-offs for projects that are executed on a reimbursable basis, and certain contracts include performance incentives. Work is carried out throughout the year, enabling a stable financial contribution that is less dependent on greenfield activity.

Moreld Apply delivered revenues of NOK 934 million in the first quarter, reflecting a lower overall activity level compared with the previous quarters. EBITDA for the quarter was NOK 50 million, with margins improving compared with the fourth quarter 2025 and increasing to above five per cent. Results were influenced by timing effects related to cost elements and project progress, while improved execution toward the end of the quarter supported the positive margin development.

Operationally, the quarter was characterised by continued execution of several large and technically demanding projects across both offshore and onshore scopes. Progress was maintained on schedule critical deliveries, where supplier related delays and technical clarifications required close management attention.

The Eirin tie back project progressed toward finalisation during the quarter, with remaining offshore and completion activities closely managed to support handover and start up.

The company has implemented a transition programme in response to changes in the project portfolio and market outlook. Management attention remained on preserving critical competence and delivery capability while adapting capacity and organisational set up to expected future activity levels. As part of this, targeted cost reduction measures have been initiated, including a reduction of approximately 120 positions announced in February. In parallel, targeted improvement initiatives were advanced to strengthen execution performance, reduce complexity and support more robust margins through the project lifecycle.

Ocean Installer

Ocean Installer is a subsea Transport & Installation (T&I) and EPCI contractor delivering end-to-end solutions for subsea installation projects. The company executes large contracts ranging from NOK 100 million up to multi-billion levels, typically over 3 to 48 months, depending on the scale of the development. Projects are delivered on both lump-sum basis and day rate basis. Margin contribution varies throughout the year based on project phasing, with higher margin potential and earnings concentrated around key offshore delivery phases.

In the first quarter, Ocean Installer reported revenues of NOK 270 million and EBITDA of negative NOK 137 million. The negative result reflects a temporary period of low offshore activity in the first quarter, which is historically the weakest quarter in the industry segment Ocean Installer operates in. The North Sea Giant, one of the company's two key enabling assets, was in drydocking and maintenance for most of the quarter. In addition, a weak spot market contributed to low vessel utilisation, while preparatory and onshore activity remained high.

Despite limited offshore execution, activity levels remained high, with extensive engineering, procurement, fabrication and project preparation across a broad portfolio, positioning multiple parallel offshore campaigns for efficient execution as activity ramps up over the next quarters.

Within the quarter, Ocean Installer was awarded a contract from ENI for a subsea tie-back in the Mediterranean. Work commenced immediately with full contract signing expected within the second quarter 2026 and main offshore execution campaigns scheduled to be executed between the second quarter 2026 and the first quarter 2027. Ocean Installer also signed a non-exclusive Master Framework Agreement (MFWA) with ENI within the quarter. This MFWA contains negotiated terms and conditions between ENI and Ocean Installer and will allow ENI to run and award tenders faster, with their selected contractors holding the MFWA.

During the quarter, progress continued on establishing Ocean Installer's presence in Brazil. Key Brazilian resources were added to support the establishment of the local organisation, strengthening engineering and business development capabilities and supporting Ocean Installer's longer-term growth ambitions in the region.

Moreld ASA / Interim report / First quarter 2026 6

The outlook for the remainder of 2026 is strong. With both vessels back in operation and offshore execution underway, activity levels are expected to increase materially. The backlog provides good visibility, and execution momentum is building across several projects. High tendering activity continued throughout the quarter and client decisions on several key competitive tenders are expected to be finalised within the second and third quarter 2026.

Global Maritime

Global Maritime is an engineering service provider delivering technical advisory work and marine operations, where most projects are smaller in scale. Typical contracts range from below NOK 1 million to several tens of millions, with durations from a few weeks up to one year. Activity is seasonal with limited visibility, but strong contribution potential.

Global Maritime delivered a negative result in the quarter, reflecting lower activity levels and revenue compared to both recent quarters and the same period last year. Revenue for the quarter was NOK 175 million and EBITDA was negative NOK 8 million, compared with a positive result in the first quarter 2025. Performance was impacted by delayed project start ups, reduced utilisation of both internal and subcontractor resources across several business streams, and lower client activity in parts of the portfolio. The geopolitical situation also had a negative impact on Global Maritime's business in the Middle East. This was partly offset by more stable results outside the affected markets.

A key highlight during the quarter was the award of the TetraSpar Demonstrator decommissioning contract, representing a significant and strategically important marine operations project. The project demonstrates Global Maritime's ability to deliver complex, end to end marine operations and further strengthens its position within offshore renewables and full lifecycle offshore services.

While Global Maritime delivered a negative EBITDA in the quarter, backlog increased to near record levels above NOK 600 million. Activity is expected to pick up in the coming quarters, reflecting peak seasonal demand for Global Maritime's services and supported by new project awards and a strengthening pipeline.

Dividends

On 24 February 2026, Moreld ASA paid a dividend of NOK 0.42 per share, totaling approximately NOK 75 million, for the fourth quarter of 2025. In line with Moreld's dividend policy aiming for a distribution ratio of between 40 and 60 per cent of adjusted net profits over time, Moreld's board of directors approved distributing a dividend in the amount of NOK 0.50 per share for the first quarter of 2026. The dividend will be paid in May, with ex-dividend date scheduled for 11 May and distribution for 20 May 2026.

Risks and uncertainties

Moreld is exposed to various risk factors, including, but not limited to, operational, market and financial risks.

Demand for the group's products and services depends on market sentiment in the oil and gas sector and the willingness of oil and gas companies to invest. In accordance with industry practice, several of the contracts in the current order backlog are subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided and adjustments to the activity level relating to the contracts. For example, many of the contracts entered into by the group are framework agreements where the scope and size of call-off orders placed by the customers are uncertain.

Recent geopolitical developments, including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, have contributed to increased uncertainty in global energy markets. Such tensions may result in heightened oil price volatility, changes in trade flows, and potential disruptions to supply chains. In combination with global tariff tensions, sanctions, and uncertainty around OPEC production levels, this may impact investment decisions among operators. A sustained decline or increased volatility in oil prices may lead operators to reduce capital expenditures or defer planned construction and maintenance activities.

Such reductions in upstream investment directly impact demand for Moreld's services, posing a risk to the group's order backlog, revenue stability, and long-term growth prospects. The company continues to monitor market developments closely and maintains operational flexibility to adapt to changing conditions.

To achieve its financial targets, the group is dependent on its ability to renew and extend existing contracts and to secure new awards. The group has certain long-term contracts with a limited number of customers, the largest of which is Equinor Energy AS. This customer concentration increases financial risk if key clients reduce activity levels or select competitors.

The group also relies on third-party chartering of vessels to deliver services to its customers. The offshore vessel market is cyclical, and fluctuations may lead to changes in charter rates, cost levels, and vessel availability going forward.

Order backlog

Contracted order backlog at quarter end

Moreld's order backlog was NOK 6.2 billion at the end of the first quarter, compared to NOK 5.9 billion in the previous quarter and NOK 8.3 billion at the end of the first quarter 2025. The development reflects the group's exposure to large, milestone-driven projects and long-term frame agreements. As such, backlog levels typically increase following major contract awards and gradually normalise as project execution progresses. The backlog has increased steadily over the past two quarters from a low of NOK 5.7 billion in the third quarter 2025.

During the quarter, Moreld recorded a total order intake of NOK 1731 million. The order intake was primarily driven by smaller projects and extensions under existing frame agreements. In addition, Ocean Installer was awarded a SURF installation scope in the Mediterranean (previously announced letter of intent), while Global Maritime secured a large marine operations scope related to the TetraSpar decommissioning project.

Order backlog per segment at quarter end

In January 2026, Moreld Apply was awarded the strategically important EMOD/EPRO frame agreement from Equinor. The agreement pre-qualifies the company to bid for large modification and maintenance projects; however, it will not be included in the order backlog until specific project awards are made under the contract.

Moreld continues to maintain a robust tender pipeline, including several large opportunities that are expected to support further backlog growth and increased activity levels in the coming years.

Outlook

Moreld entered 2026 with a robust order backlog and good visibility. As expected, activity levels were softer in the first quarter, reflecting planned capacity adjustments, including dry docking of a key vessel. Activity is now picking up, supported by the commencement of larger projects, and is expected to increase through the remainder of the year.

Market conditions remain uncertain, with continued geopolitical tensions, including the conflict in the Middle East, contributing to volatility in energy prices, supply chains and cost levels. Inflationary pressures and general market uncertainty continue to reinforce efficiency as a key priority across the industry. Despite this, the longer-term outlook remains supported by strong activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and a solid tender pipeline.

The group's business model remains resilient, supported by a diversified portfolio and disciplined capacity management. Activity in 2026 is expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year, and the group reiterates its EBITDA guidance for 2026 in the range of NOK 0.7–0.9 billion. Further, the board has reconfirmed its ambition to distribute quarterly dividends.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 01 General information

The condensed consolidated financial statement for the first quarter of 2026 covers Moreld ASA, its subsidiaries and shares in associated companies accounted for in accordance with the equity method.

The Moreld Group offers comprehensive services to the offshore energy, renewable and onshore markets.

Note 02 Basis for preparation

Interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. Interim financial statements do not include the same amount of information as the full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2025. The consolidated financial statements for 2025 were prepared in compliance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and the Norwegian Accounting Act. The accounting principles used in this report are the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2025.

Note 03 Judgement, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates.

Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates, and the differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly, and if a change is needed, it is accounted for in the period the change becomes known.

The group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The key considerations in connection with the application of the group's accounting principles and the major sources of uncertainty remain the same as when the 2025 consolidated financial statements were compiled.

Note 04 Operating segments

Operating segments are identified based on the group's internal management and reporting structure. The group's chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is responsible for the allocation of resources and assessment of performance in the different operating segments, is defined as the group CEO. The main indicator of financial performance used by the CODM is EBITDA excluding the impact of the accounting standard for leases (IFRS 16) which requires the operation lease expense to be reclassified to depreciations / amortisations and interest expense, and this is therefore used as the basis for the segment reporting. Recognition and measurement applied to segment reporting are consistent with the accounting principles applied when preparing the financial statements.

Note 05 Leasing

The group leases several assets such as vessels, offices and other facilities. Vessel charters are typically agreed using a day rate applicable for a specified window of time. A material portion of the group's vessel charters are on terms that do not contain any commitments for the group when the vessel is not in use ("pay as you go"). For such charters, each vessel call-off is accounted for as a separate lease. Rental contracts for equipment and premises are agreed to fixed periods of 2–5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of terms and conditions. Short-term vessel charters (with a lease term of less than 12 months) are also capitalised as right-of-use assets and depreciated. Except for vessels, no other short-term leases are capitalised as right-of-use assets and depreciated.

Extension and termination options are included in several vessel and property leases across the group. These terms are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts.

Note 12 Subsequent events

War in Middle East

Following the reporting date, the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East has continued to create uncertainty in global markets, including volatility in energy prices, supply chains and foreign exchange markets.

The group has operations and projects in several international markets, including the Middle East. The main focus for the group has been to ensure the safety of our people affected by the situation. As of the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the conflict has not had a material impact on the group's financial position. Management continues to monitor developments related to the situation, including potential indirect effects such as increased market volatility, disruptions to logistics, changes in customer investment decisions and impacts on commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.

Given the evolving nature of the situation, it is not currently possible to reliably quantify any potential future financial effects.
