Vow ASA: 1H 2022 - Highest ever revenues, profits, and order backlog

Vow ASA: 1H 2022 - Highest ever revenues, profits, and order backlog

Vow ASA ("Vow" or the "Company") had strong progress across the board in the

first half of 2022. Total revenues doubled year-over-year to NOK 400 million.

Revenues in Landbased were more than fourfold, Aftersales returned to pre-Covid

levels and Cruise Projects continued its steady course of profitable growth.

With continued strong operational performance built on an efficient delivery

model, earnings before interests, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA)

before non-recurring items also reached a record high NOK 53 million for the

period (NOK 20 million in 1H 2021). The EBITDA margin was 13.3 percent. Order

backlog increased with 32 percent year on year to NOK 2.2 billion including

options. This too was an all-time high.

"We are very pleased to see the cruise industry back, and happy for our many

long-term customers which now have most of their ships out at sea. For Vow this

means increased demand for operational assistance and consumables. At the same

time, cruise operators continue their newbuild and retrofit programmes. We are

working closely with them to develop and deliver even more climate friendly and

cleaner solutions than we have done before," said Henrik Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.

For the first time, Landbased was Vow's largest reporting segment, delivering

46 percent of the company's revenues. Equipment delivered to Europe's biggest

BioCarbon plant at Follum, Norway constituted the largest share, although still

less than two thirds of revenues in the segment.

"The progress in Landbased is remarkable. The Follum project and our recent

decision to build a large scale pyrolysis reactor for delivery later this year,

have attracted broad interest from large industry players. In response to global

trends, government policies and economic realities, they seek ways to reduce

climate gas emissions and secure access to clean energy. The contract announced

in May this year with a renewable energy company in the US to deliver a complete

biocarbon production system is a good example of this," said Badin.

Today at 09:00 CEST, the company's CEO Henrik Badin will present the results

live at House of Oslo, meeting room Backer, Ruseløkkveien 34, 0251 Oslo.

Participants are welcome to meet in person or to follow the presentation via

livestream. A recording of the session, which will be held in English, will be

available on www.vowasa.com (http://www.vowasa.com) (http://www.vowasa.com)
