Moreld Q3 2026 Report
Moreld ASA: Third quarter 2026 results
Stavanger, 5 November 2026: Moreld delivered another strong quarter with revenues of NOK 2.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of NOK 376 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 17 per cent. The result was driven by high vessel utilisation and strong project performance in Ocean Installer. With improved visibility for the remainder of the year, Moreld raises its full-year 2026 EBITDA guidance to NOK 0.85-1.0 billion.
“We delivered another strong quarter, driven by excellent project execution in Ocean Installer, demonstrating the earnings potential in our subsea business. Combined with a strong backlog, low net debt and improved visibility into 2027 and beyond, this gives us confidence to raise our full-year guidance while continuing to return capital to shareholders," says CEO Geir Austigard.
Supported by a strong balance sheet and solid cash position, the board of directors reconfirmed the ambition to maintain predictable quarterly dividends and approved a dividend of NOK 0.50 per share for distribution in November. In addition, the board approved a new share buyback programme of up to 5 million shares, with the purpose of reducing the company's share capital.
