  • Turnover in the quarter was MNOK 617. While it is 19 % below 2nd quarter 2013, it is up 11 % from 1 st quarter 2014 due to higher activity in the Marine division.
  • EBITDA in the quarter was negative MNOK 10. The negative EBITDA is mainly due to low margins on ongoing projects in the Offshore & Heavy Lift Division.

  • Order intake was MNOK 691 excluding joint ventures, up 7 % compared to previous quarter. Heavy lift cranes and additional car carrier orders are the most notable orders in the quarter.

Marine

Cranes, winches and hatch covers for car carriers, cargo ships, cruise ships and specialized vessels. Production lines and systems for cargo handling.

  • Turnover for 2nd quarter 2014 in line with last year.
  • High activity for PCTCs is offset by lower activity and margins within deck equipment and within port and terminals.
  • Order intake is still good with MNOK 324 in the quarter and MNOK 688 YTD.
  • Order backlog is MNOK 2 508, which is a 60 % increase compared to last year, influenced by the strong market positions for the JVs in China.
  • Market outlook for the marine division remains positive in most segments.

TTS Joint Venture operations in China

  • Joint Ventures are recognized in the financial statements according to the equity method. TTS Group includes only its share (50%) of profit after tax in financial reports.
  • The increased contracting, especially in the bulk and container segment, results in high order intake during the period both for cranes and hatch covers.
  • Order intake in the joint ventures in 2 nd quarter 2014 was MNOK 359 (100% basis).
  • The joint ventures are seeing a strong market for its products. The market share is in a positive development.

Offshore & Heavy Lift

All types of cranes for offshore vessels and offshore installations.

  • The division again reports weak results in the 2 nd quarter with a loss of MNOK 41.6.
  • The result is mainly related to restructuring cost, low margins on several ongoing projects and delay of certain projects.
  • Cost reduction efforts have been implemented, resulting in a reduction of workforce of approx. 100 persons. This effort has to a large extent been finalized in 1 st half of 2014 and is expected to provide improvement in profitability in the 2nd half of 2014.
  • Order intake in the quarter was MNOK 223. Order backlog has increased by MNOK 62 from 2 nd quarter 2013.
  • There are signs of increased activity in both offshore and heavy lift markets.

Outlook Offshore Vessels & Drill ship

Global market 2005-2015

  • For large PSVs we have seen a fairly stable market over the last 7 quarters. Increased number of requests lately indicates potential for stronger market.
  • For drillship, jack up and semi subs the mid term prospect is weaker due to oversupply and low rates, however the longer term still is expected to improve.
  • Still optimistic with regards to Chinese shipyard market share expansion.

Ship new building prices are on the move

Shipbuilding prices are trending upwards for all segments, impact on equipment prices likely to follow in 6- 9 months.

Summary

  • We have a road map for the improvement processes going forward in 2014 and 2015 that has not changed. Up to now we have
  • Integrated Port business with the Marine division
  • Finalized the cost cutting program in Offshore & Heavy Lift division.
  • Initiated restructuring of the Deck Equipment business in Q3 2014 where more of the value chain is being moved closer to the customer.
  • Productivity enhancement initiatives implemented in a number of businesses.
  • The changes implemented will generate improved results. However, in near term the profitability is a challenge. We have a 2 year program.

Outlook

The marine market remains good. Contracting of new vessels, especially bulkers continues to be at a high level and Car carriers will continue with several repeats. Container ships, especially feedersize grow up and General cargo/Heavy lift have increased since yearend. Offshore segments of OSV with heavy cranes are in the pipeline.
