Vow ASA: H1 2023 - Building for growth from a strong base
Vow ASA (OSE: VOW) reported continued high revenues of NOK 449 million in the
first six months of 2023, representing a growth of 12 per cent year-over-year.
EBITDA before non-recurring items came in at NOK 29.6 million for the period and
corresponding to a margin of 6.6 per cent. EBITDA reflects good performance in
cruise and heat treatment, and the costs of building pipeline in Industrial
Solutions.
"We are consistently delivering good results in our well-established business.
We are strategically building capacity and intensifying our bidding for projects
in new industry verticals. The demand for our offerings is evident, and we
possess the relevance and capability to meet these needs. As a result, we remain
steadfast in our commitment to seize these opportunities, even if it temporarily
impacts our EBITDA," said Henrik Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.
Maritime Solutions continued with high revenues, driven by equipment deliveries
to cruise newbuilds. Aftersales delivered record high revenues and profit, well
above pre-pandemic level, and continues to perform well. Within Industrial
Solutions, our heat treatment business (CHE) delivered growth and strong
margins.
The overall outlook for Vow remains good, and the new financing agreement which
was confirmed this summer contributes to a solid platform for growth. The order
backlog is NOK 1.145 million plus NOK 999 million in options. The contract with
Quonset Soil Solutions was confirmed in July and will drive growth in the second
half of 2023. Vow is currently developing and bidding for a large number of
projects in the Industrial Solutions segment, expected to materialize over the
coming years.
"We remain optimistic across all our businesses. We are seeing strong demand for
Vow's solutions across several industry verticals, with new majors showing
interest in our technology, and an increased interest from existing clients in
the cruise industry, which we are confident will result in an increased order
backlog," said Badin.
Today at 08:30 CEST, the company's CEO Henrik Badin and CFO Tina Tønnessen will
provide a financial update live at Haakon VII's gate 2, 0161 Oslo. Additionally,
Per Carlsson, Vow's Chief Development Officer and Pål Jahre Nilsen, Vice
President Innovation, will delve deeper into various applications of Vow
technology, and its potential in markets driven by circular economy and
