Vow ASA: Q1 2022 - Vow delivers all-time high

Vow ASA: Q1 2022 - Vow delivers all-time high

Vow ASA ("Vow" or the "Company") nearly doubled revenues in the first quarter

and more than doubled EBITDA compared with first quarter last year. Activity is

gaining momentum across all business segments, and the order backlog remains

solid at NOK 1 271 million. In the first quarter, Vow made important steps to

meet increased demand for advanced carbon products and CO2 neutral energy and

acquired C.H. Evensen to further position for growth.

Revenues in the first quarter of 2022 was NOK 182.5 million, compared with NOK

92.7 million in the same period last year. EBITDA before non-recurring items was

NOK 23.6 million, more than a doubling from NOK 10.2 million in the same period

last year.

All segments contributed to the progress, with especially strong, profitable

growth from the Landbased segment. In addition, the cruise industry is gaining

speed which resulted in improved activity levels for Aftersales and continued

strong results within Projects Cruise.

"It is great to see that most of the cruise fleet is back in operation. Vow and

Scanship are well positioned to continue supporting shipyards and the shipowners

in their green transition and on their mission for an ever-cleaner ocean.

Extensive fleet renewal programmes are being planned, comprising both newbuilds

and retrofits, to meet customers and investors' expectations for green

cruising," said Henrik Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.

"At the same time, global trends in the circular economy and energy markets,

regulation, and economic realities, encourage industry and energy providers to

decarbonise. This creates an unprecedented demand and interest for the

technologies and solutions that we provide, producing renewable carbon and

climate neutral gas at large scale," Badin added.

Outlook

Vow continues to support its customers in their quest to decarbonise their value

chains and become more environmentally sustainable.

The cruise industry continues to grow as cruise liners place new orders. Vow

remains confident about the long-term market outlook for its cruise related

operations, and these growth prospects are supported by increasing demand for

solutions for cleaner oceans. As an increasing share of cruise ships are

delivered with Vow systems, the aftersales market is growing.

Vow is currently in the process of producing and assembling equipment for Vow

Green Metals' first biocarbon plant at Follum in Eastern Norway based on Vow's

advanced pyrolysis technology. Vow continues to make investments in the

Landbased segment, and the acquisition of C.H. Evensen further strengthens the

group's foothold and capacities in this segment.

As a provider of world leading technologies that can eliminate pollution,

enhance circular economy, and mitigate climate change, and with a proven ability

to deliver reliable technology at a competitive price, Vow is well positioned to

meet the global trends of replacing fossil fuels and turning waste into valuable

resources.

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

live at Haakon VII's gate 2, 0161 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
