Prosafe SE: Fourth quarter 2023 results

Prosafe SE: Fourth quarter 2023 results

EBITDA for the fourth quarter was USD (2.7) million (USD 9.6 million). The

decrease in EBITDA was mainly driven by lower utilisation, including Eurus SPS

off hire, and higher operating expenses during the quarter compared to 2022.

Prosafe sees increased vessel demand going forward, which is expected to lead to

higher utilisation, improved day rates and earnings growth.

CEO comment

Terje Askvig, CEO says, "Prosafe is well positioned for new contracts in a

tightening accommodation rig market, holding a large share of the open high-end

capacity through 2026. Going into the new year, we are progressing ongoing

client discussions and see increased tender activity with focus on 2025 and are

confident we will see increased backlog during the first half of 2024. This

increase in activity is expected to provide a favourable backdrop for

refinancing and continued growth.

This is supported by continued strong operational performance on our active

rigs, including the successful execution of the special periodic survey and

upgrades on Safe Eurus and continued high utilisation rates on all our operating

assets."
