A record 1Q in terms of activity level and operating results driven by growth, improved pricing, and strong project execution.
EBIT for 1Q2024 was NOK 28.7 million (NOK –8.4 million), while pre- tax result was NOK –8.9 million (NOK 5.6 million).
Strong outlook as evidenced by record high backlog of NOK 1.3 billion and tender volume of NOK 10 billion.


I am pleased to present our first quarter report for 2024, highlighting continued growth in accordance with our strategic objectives. Our solid increased revenue, coupled with an EBIT improving from NOK – 8.4 in Q1 2023 to NOK 28.7 million this year, reaffirms our progress.
While maintaining profitability and delivering high-quality services, we are successfully expanding Reach within a robust market. Our established infrastructure, including vessels, assets, technology, and expertise, positions us well for organic growth opportunities, as we also highlighted in the previous quarter.
Additionally, this quarter saw further strengthening of our platform through the addition of two vessel charter agreements and strategic investments in assets such as the Constructor ROV's.
Our order backlog is continuously increasing, and we can report a record high first quarter backlog of NOK 1.3 billion and tender volume that now has reached 10 billion.
A notable milestone this quarter was the successful sea-launch of the Reach Remote USV, marking a significant achievement for our organization. Our first two Reach Remote vessels will be launched this season. Client interest in the Reach Remote is continuously increasing across all regions and we have both national and international projects in our pipeline that fit these vessels very well. Later this year they will be assigned for relevant operations.
Our aspirations for integrating robotization into the subsea industry are swiftly materializing. Alongside Reach Remote, we are already harnessing the capabilities of the USV type Drix.
Our first USV, commissioned in April last year, has already demonstrated its value, successfully completing over 25,000 km of high-precision hydrographic survey lines. This was achieved using a remote operations center, which allows for real-time control and data processing, a testament to our cutting-edge approach in a strategically important region.
Building on this success, we have expanded our fleet with the addition of a second Drix USV. This new vessel has just passed its System Acceptance trials and will soon join our initial USV in a large-scale project to update and enhance nautical charts and seafloor mapping for a key governmental client.
This project not only showcases our capability to manage and execute complex survey operations but also underscores our role in supporting critical infrastructure development.
Whilst we experience high demand across the different market segments, we will continue to invest in our conventional subsea services. Additionally, we are investing in technology to utilize Remote Services as a perfect supplement required to answer the high demand and fast-growing market segments.
We are looking forward to an exciting year. A year that certainly will mark a change in how we operate in the industry. Our vision "Sustainable access to ocean space" is something to reach for and we still believe that "Everything within Reach!"

1st Quarter 2024

The Reach Subsea Group's business concept is to offer high quality solutions and technology to clients in need of ocean data and services.
Figures for the same period last year are presented in brackets in the text.
REACH Subsea ASA Group ("Reach") operates and markets by quarter end seven (seven) subsea spreads. In addition, Reach delivers survey, positioning, and monitoring services onboard a number of vessels and platforms.
The number of vessel days that passed through our P&L in 1Q2024 was 481 (248) with a 90 % utilization (88 %). REACH had per quarter end 11 WROV-systems and two "Surveyor Interceptor" systems available for subsea operations, in addition to a pool of high quality survey and monitoring assets and equipment. REACH had 1,052 available ROV-days in 1Q2024 (1,046), of which 690 days were sold (567) leading to a total utilization of 66 % (54 %).
REACH closed the acquisition of Guardian Geomatics 15 November 2023, strengthening our position within survey and remote operations in Asia Pacific and contributing to REACH world wide footprint. Guardian Geomatics' operations and projects will be fully integrated into the Reach Group during 2024.
REACH Remote, our new and future-proof, sustainable solutions for subsea services is progressing in close cooperation with our two major suppliers, Kongsberg Maritime (USV) and Kystdesign (ROV). Estimated delivery of Reach Remote is slightly delayed from the yard, but is expected to be on track for startup of commercial projects during 2024.
REACH continued sourcing highly skilled offshore personnel during the quarter. The base of contractors is important in peak seasons, when the number of man hours in operation normally doubles compared to our own staff. Connect Offshore AS, our in-house contracting entity will be liquidated during 2Q2024, and the activity will be replaced by external suppliers combined with internal recruitment.
REACH has per 7. May 2024 a firm order backlog of NOK 1.3 billion for work in the second quarter of 2024 and beyond, with the vast majority related to work in 2024. The order backlog figures do not include expected volumes from the frame agreements. Offshore operations performed by the Reach spreads received high client scores in all segments and on all sectors.
Our high attention to HSEQ is illustrated by the fact that we have had no serious accidents or incidents since commencement of offshore operations in 2013.


Viking Reach is chartered in by Reach for use on own projects. The vessel is mobilized with one Supporter WROV, one Surveyor ROV and survey equipment, specialized for survey and light construction work. Viking Reach had high utilization in 1Q24 working on a survey project in the UK. The vessel is further scheduled for projects for key clients in the North Sea until expected docking in September 2024. Reach holds 49.9 % of the shares in the entity owning the vessel.

Havila Subsea is equipped with two owned Schilling WROVs, one Surveyor ROV, and offshore personnel from Reach's offshore pool. Havila Subsea had high utilization working on projects in Brazil that lasted towards the end of 1Q24. The spread is further scheduled for a project in US Gulf expected to last throughout the third quarter of 2024.
Deep Cygnus is chartered in by Reach for use on own projects and was mobilized with a gangway, working in the walk to work market in 1Q2024. The vessel thereafter spent approx. one month in dry dock at owner's expense for maintenance and battery installation, an important step in our goal to reduce emissions, as well as mobilization of full WROV and survey spread. The vessel is ready for subsea projects within light construction, IMR, trenching and decommissioning from early June 24.



Go Electra is chartered in by Reach for use on own projects. The vessel is mobilized with WROV and survey equipment, specialized for integrated survey projects. The vessel is scheduled for projects expected to last well into the main season of 2024.

Olympic Triton is chartered in by Reach for use on own projects. The vessel is mobilized with full WROV and survey spread ready for subsea projects within light construction, IMR and decommissioning. Olympic Triton had high utilisation in 1Q24 and is further scheduled for projects expected to last well into the main season of 2024.
Northern Maria is chartered in for 3 years firm period and 6+6 months options for use in Reach own, integrated survey projects. The contract started late 1Q2024 with the vessel scheduled for survey project well into the 2024 season.





Offshore Surveyor is chartered in by Guardian Geomatics for survey projects in Asia Pacific. Expected start up for this contract is June 2024.
Agalas Newbuild Reach has entered into a charter agreement with owners of the newbuild subsea LCV Agalas. Expected delivery is early 2026. The vessel will be mobilized with full WROV and survey spread.





Reach Subsea was awarded a contract to prepare the seabed at Eldfisk field for a Jack-up rig by relocating cement from the spud can locations, using the Olympic Triton, equipped with a 150Te AHC crane and two work-class ROVs.
Mobilisation of equipment and personnel commenced in Tananger, Norway just before new year and the vessel mobilised ROV mounted survey equipment, a complete spread including peel grabber and a 40Te Scanmachine crawler complete with various cutting tools for splitting the cement as required.
The Scope of work primarily included multibeam surveys and cement removal at three spud can areas. The cement was relocated approximately 80m away from the spud can areas, larger blocks were cracked and lifted by the peel grab, and remaining cement volumes were efficiently relocated using the largest crawler dredger on the market, a 40Te Scanmachine.

All operations were executed successfully with minimum weather downtime despite the harsh winter North Sea conditions, much thanks to the well-suited vessel Olympic Triton and its marine crew along with a highly professional project team from Reach Subsea.



Reach Subsea performed inspection and valve operations for Perenco UK at the Arthur and Durango fields in the southern UK.
The area is known for high sea currents in shallow waters along with seabed conditions which causes very poor visibility. To cope with such challenges, Reach Subsea equipped the ROV's onboard the Olympic Triton with high-spec tooling and sensors including Tool Deployment Unit, high-resolution acoustic sonar, an acoustic 3D scanning unit, and cameras specific for limited visibility conditions.
Mobilisation commenced in Sunderland, UK followed by transit to site where inspection, cleaning, valve operations and debris recovery took place. Thanks to the equipment used, the team onboard managed to successfully complete the scope of work, which had previously been aborted due to the low visibility. The efficient project completed in less than two weeks including mob, demob, transits, and crew change.

Our vision 'Sustainable access to ocean space' underpins our commitment to take part in the creation of a sustainable future. Our values support and enable team members of our group to take actions in our reach for sustainability. We have a high focus on health and safety, environment, financial solidity, profitability and quality. We are constantly balancing these elements to meet the increased demand for sustainable solutions by our stakeholders. Interpretation of our values in a sustainable perspective is described on the following pages.
The company is preparing for the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the applicable European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). To fortify these efforts, Reach has brought aboard a dedicated resource focusing on ESG. This will contribute to strengthen the workflow on Sustainability in the company.
Three workshops have already been conducted with the "ESG Task Force group", primarily focusing on Key Stakeholder analysis. Subsequently, the team dived into relevant ESG topics, by identifying their impacts, risks, and opportunities. This process, known as a Double Materiality assessment (DMA), involves engagement with both internal and external stakeholders. Following this assessment, these relevant topics were then scored, and KPIs for 2024 began to take shape. Additionally, Reach has for the first quarter also facilitated a collaborative "Best Practice" workshop in collaboration with partners such as Wilhelmsen, Edda Wind and Loke. This workshop served as a platform for sharing invaluable insights and strategies in the pursuit of sustainability excellence.
Reach has in addition dedicated the first quarter to completing the sustainability reporting in the Integrated Annual report for 2023 – as well as starting the foundation on the 2024 report. This indicates our commitment to transparency and accountability regarding our ESG practices. Reach aims to provide all stakeholders with comprehensive insights into its sustainability efforts and progress towards ESG goals.
In the initial quarter of 2024, Reach is steadfastly dedicated to fostering sustainability, ingraining corporate responsibility into every facet of its processes and the daily operations.

Financial results, capital structure and outlook
Figures for the same period last year are presented in brackets in the text.
Reach Subsea acquired Guardian Geomatics 15th November 2023. Financial results are fully consolidated as of that date. The financial effects of the transactions are further described in the Notes.
Revenue for 1Q2024 was NOK 575.3 million (NOK 234.0 million), with the increase from last year explained by (i) a higher number of project days sold, (ii) increased service scope on projects and (iii) higher pricing with increased project profit margins.
Operating expenses for 1Q2024 were NOK 546.6 million (NOK 242.4 million) where project-related expenses, including depreciation of IFRS 16 assets, represent the majority of the operating expenses for the Group. The increase compared to the same period last year is primarily explained by higher project activity, hereunder more vessel days. Details about depreciations and impairment sensitivity is presented in the Notes.
The improved EBIT is primarily a result of higher activity with strong utilization and higher pricing. Net financial items for 1Q2024 were NOK –37.6 million (NOK 14.0 million). The main year-overyear differences are (i) result from associated companies of NOK 0.6 million (N/A), (ii) increased interest expenses due to the higher level of IFRS 16 related debt, which amounted to NOK -24.1 million (NOK -3.4 million) and (iii) currency effects, which amounted to NOK –16.4 million (NOK 16.9 million).
Our charter hires are in USD and NOK, while income in the quarter was in NOK, USD and EUR.
For 1Q2024, Oil & Gas revenues constituted 48 % while Renewable/ Other constituted 52 % of total revenues. By comparison, in 1Q2023 Oil & Gas revenues were 66 % while Renewable/Other constituted 34 % of total revenues. Oil & Gas entails revenues from survey, IMR and light construction projects where the end client's asset is used in the oil & gas sector. Renewable/Other entails revenues from survey, IMR and light construction projects where the end client's asset is used outside the oil & gas sector.


The Group's equity as of 31 March 2024 was NOK 938.0 million (NOK 704.5 million), which represents 29.4 % (52.6 %) of the total balance sheet. The increased equity is explained by generated comprehensive income over the last 12 months, and partly offset by dividends paid in 2Q2023. The increase in total assets resulted in a reduced equity ratio compared to the same period last year.
Total current assets at the end of the quarter were NOK 877.1 million (NOK 546.0 million), of which cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 201.1 million (NOK 137.3 million). Including the unutilized revolving credit facility, available liquidity was NOK 231.1 million (NOK 167.3 million).
Receivables and inventories were NOK 676.0 million (NOK 408.7 million). Total non- interest-bearing current liabilities were NOK 527.2 million (NOK 260.1 million). This leaves a net working capital of NOK 148.8 million (NOK 148.6 million).
Total non-current assets at the end of the quarter were NOK 2,314.2 million (NOK 792.9 million). The increase is mainly a result of (i) increased Right of use assets (leases capitalized under IFRS 16) of net NOK 1,212.0 million (ii) Assets under construction of net NOK 158.7 million, which is mainly related to the Reach Remote project and (iii) Property, plant and equipment of net NOK 103.2 million.
For details related to vessel commitment, please see the Notes.
Net interest-bearing debt (total interestbearing debt, including capitalized leases under IFRS 16, less cash) stood at NOK 1,525.0 million (NOK 237.0 million). The increase is explained by the increased charter commitment as described above. Net financial interest bearing debt to credit institutions (i.e. excluding IFRS 16 leases) was NOK –107.3 million (NOK –123.2 million), i.e. cash positive.
Net cash flow from operating activities for 1Q2024 was NOK –43.9 million (NOK –5.2 million) with the main year on year differences related to working capital changes being NOK 154 million higher this year. More details can be found in the Cash flow statement.
Net cash flow from investing activities for 1Q2024 was NOK –83.3 million (NOK –90.8). Included in this figure is Purchase of fixed assets related to general equipment upgrades, mobilizations and general investments of NOK –83.3 million (NOK –26.1 million).
Net cash flow from financing activities for 1Q2024 was NOK –119.4 million (NOK –39.8 million) and includes vessel charter hire classified as "Repayment of borrowings and leases" according to IFRS 16. Details about cash outflow from leases can be found in the Cash flow statement and the Notes.
Net change in cash and cash equivalents for 1Q2024 was NOK –246.6 million (NOK –56.1 million). Reach has per 31 March 2024 no major debt maturities to credit institutions falling due the next three years.
The Reach Remote project is expected to amount to approximately NOK 426 million. As of March 31 2024 the company has capitalized NOK 228 million as Asset under construction. In addition, the company has financed two eROVs through leasing. As of March 31 the eROVs are under construction, and costs not recognised related to the eROVs amounts to NOK 44 million. The eROVs will be recognised in the balance sheet at commencement date.
Besides the Reach Remote project, Reach has taken multiple steps to secure vessel capacity at competitive terms. The additions to Right of use assets and liabilities in 2024 include the vessels Olympic Taurus and Northern Maria.
Investments associated with these vessels and other capex projects is expected to amount to approximately NOK 281 million, and encompass equipment, upgrades and mobilization activities for vessels. As of March 31 2024 remaining investments related to these investments is estimated to NOK 203 million. Reach has secured bank and lease financing of NOK 126 million to partly fund these investments.

Reach essentially follows the recommendation for reporting of IR-information issued by the Oslo Stock Exchange and publishes all its news releases on www.newsweb. no, a service provided by the Oslo Stock Exchange. Reach aims for a high level of quality on the content, and high frequency of information, provided to its investors.
Our quarterly financial reports include financial details to increase the transparency of our business. Financial reports, General Meeting Minutes, share price information, Corporate Governance, Operational figures and presentation of the Board and Management can be found on the company's web page, as well as the latest Reach Subsea ASA Annual and Sustainability Report covering initiatives and measures on Corporate Social Responsibility.
Reach Subsea ASA has a dividend policy stating that the company aims to distribute a dividend of around 50 % of adjusted net profit. Adjusted net profit is defined as reported net profit, adjusted for items the Board regards as transitory.
Reach has been awarded several contracts and call-offs under frame agreements, involving inspection, survey and construction support projects across Europe, the Americas and in Asia Pacific. Clients represent major operators and tier 1 contractors in both the oil & gas and renewable sectors.
Our schedule indicates good utilization for all our subsea spreads throughout the main season 2024. We now have an order backlog of approximately NOK 1.3 billion (NOK 815 million), with projects for execution in 2Q2024 and beyond. These contracts cover a wide spectrum of project types and are across both oil & gas and renewables projects and are included in the "Operational update" in this report. These figures do not include options and expected call- off extensions under frame agreements, which from experience can constitute significant additional work.
Current tender volume for the Group is NOK 10 billion (2.7 billion). See further details under «Operational Update» and «Outlook».
Reach Subsea ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Euronext). The Company has per 31 March 2024 issued 271,769,245 (255,136,928) shares, of which the majority is owned by Norwegian shareholders. The increased number of shares compared with 31 March 2023 is related to (i) a share increase of 850,000 new shares from the share incentive program for employees exercised in December 2023, (ii) the purchase of Guardian Geomatics, partly settled by issuing 15,469,682 new shares, and (iii) a subsequent offering of NOK 1.3 million resulting in 312,635 new shares (that followed a private placement of NOK 125.0 million, resulting in 29,411,000 new shares in 1Q2023).

REACH currently markets and operates seven subsea spreads (vessel, ROVs, and personnel, alone or together with partners), which have a competitive cost structure. These subsea spreads are tailored to our target markets and are well suited to the scope of services that are at the core of our business. We are continuously monitoring the market for opportunities to complement and strengthen our business, while at the same time progressing Reach Remote towards commercialization in 2024.
Looking ahead we see that the dramatic changes in global energy markets create a business environment with both challenges and opportunities. The challenges are evident as subsea services provided to the oil & gas sector will have lower activity levels in the long run. However, in the short to medium term we are witnessing the resurgence of oil & gas activity, driving increased utilization across the industry.
The opportunities are that our core subsea service competence is being deployed in new and fast growing maritime sectors such as offshore wind, offshore aquaculture, carbon storage monitoring, environmental surveillance, and subsea mining.
Our commitment to growth and global expansion is underpinned by the recent merger with Australianbased Guardian Geomatics as well as increased service scope on our marketed fleet by investing in mobilizations during the winter and pre-season 2024.
A major milestone in 2024 will be the introduction of Reach Remote to the market. We are in active dialogue with clients around the globe and notice substantial interest for a more sustainable way of providing subsea services and gathering subsea data.
Furthermore, the substantial increase in charter rates for conventional subsea vessels further contributes to the competitive cost advantage of the Reach Remote solution.
Thus, from a commercial and value creation standpoint, Reach Remote is looking even more attractive.
The Board and management are pleased with the company's financial performance in 1Q2024. There is still a large untapped potential within the group, and efforts to bundle our new capabilities into more valueadded integrated services, as well as utilizing the full capabilities on all our subsea spreads will accelerate going forward. Matching these efforts with the promising opportunity and pricing environment we see unfolding will be key to drive growth and margins further.

Assets under construction can be divided into the following categories:
Impairment testing has been performed in accordance with IAS 36.
The discount rate is based on the Weighted Cost of Capital (WACC) pre tax for the Group. The discount rate is 11.0 %.
The revenue assumption in the cash flow forecast is based on a combination of utilisation for assets and selling price. Utilisation is based on firm contractual days on a short to medium term and estimated future selling on a medium to longer term. Forecasted utilisation on a longer term is based on historical data, as well as managements expectations of market development. Forecasted selling rates are based on historical data. No inflation adjustments have been made to revenue assumptions.
The right-of-use assets at 31 March 2024 represents the remaining committed vessel days on charter agreements with vessel owners and lease agreements for offices. The impairment testing demonstrated that the recoverable amount is larger than book value, and as such no impairment charge is required. The recoverable amount is sensitive to estimated utilisation and selling rate assumptions. See note 10 for further information on Right-of-use assets.
Impairment testing has been performed on each ROVs CGU, i.e. both owned and leased ROVs. The recoverable amount is based on estimated future cash flows, which is based on estimated selling price, budgeted maintenance cost and utilization. The impairment testing demonstrated that the assets recoverable amount is larger than book value, and as such no impairment charge is required. The recoverable amount is based on estimated future cash flow for the CGU, and is sensitive to estimated utilisation and selling rate assumptions.
A sensitivity analysis show the following sensitivity in the impairment testing, including both Right-of-use assets, ROV and ROV equipment:
An increase of the WACC of 2 percentage points will not result in any impairment charge.

Bank borrowings mature in the range of 2024-2033 and bear average coupons of 8.5 % annually. The bank borrowings are subject to industry relevant covenants.

As of 31 March 2024 the liquidity position (including overdraft facility) is 231,1 million, the Debt service Coverage Ratio is 7.0, and Booked equity NOK 938 million/29 %. All financial covenants are well within the thresholds mentioned above. Please note that some of the financial covenants in the groups debt facilities exclude the effects from IFRS 16, and therefore can not be directly derived from the groups financial statements.

Long and short term leases (commited lease term 12 months or less) of vessels and ROV's are capitalized as right- of use assets and depreciated under IFRS 16. The impact is that all cost in relation to leases of vessels/ROV's are presented as depreciation and interest expenses. No other short term leases, except for vessels and ROV's, are capitalized as right- of use assets and depreciated.
As of March 31 2024, Right of use assets in the balance sheet consist of contractual commitments for vessels and offices. Short term leases with no contractual commitment (pay as you go contracts), are not capitalized.
At inception of a contract the lease liability and the corresponding Right-of-use assets is measured at the present value of the estimated lease payments. Short term hired in vessels and ROV's are treated as short term leases under IFRS 16 and are also recognized as depreciations. The calculated lease liability is calculated with a discount rate of 7.5%. See note 5 for further information on the Company's borrowings.
The total cash outflow for leases in 1Q2024 was NOK 146.7 million (1Q2023: 66.3 million).
