Reuben Segal, CEO of ABL Group ASA ("ABL Group" or the "Company") commented:
"In the first half of 2025, we continued to execute on our strategy to build a
diversified and resilient consultancy business serving the Energy and Oceans
markets. The integration of Proper Marine and Techconsult is progressing well,
strengthening our capabilities in primary design and resourcing, and driving the
strong year-on-year revenue growth of 40% in Q2 2025.
Our adjusted EBIT was 25% higher than Q2 2024, reflecting solid performance
across the group and the successful integration of recent acquisitions, even as
we absorb structurally lower-margin businesses such as Ross Offshore and
Techconsult. Our cost and efficiency plan, originating with the OWC business,
has been expanded in other parts of the business and continues throughout the
second half of 2025 as we continue to seek operational efficiency and margin
improvement.
We remain positive about the market outlook despite current volatility. Offshore
oil & gas and maritime activity are expected to remain stable through 2025, with
ABL maintaining a strong position in a relatively steady maritime market.
Geopolitical uncertainty continues to delay investment decisions in the
renewables sector, but tendering activity is picking up. OWC is also
diversifying its market exposure, with onshore wind, solar, and energy storage
now making up 20% of hours billed in Q2 2025."
A presentation of the quarterly results will be held today at 08:30 CET at
SpareBank 1 Markets' office at Olav Vs gate 5, 0161 Oslo. The event will be
webcast live and available for replay shortly after. To watch the webcast,
