First quarter results 2020 will be negatively influenced by global pandemic

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

24 April 2020 – Kvaerner has in the first quarter taken several precautionary steps to safeguard employees, suppliers and local societies against the risks of the Covid-19 virus development. Kvaerner has demobilised the majority of hired-in personnel working on ongoing projects, office staff is working from home offices and several virus precautions influence daily work at the yards. Still, operations are continuing, and ongoing projects are moving forward at reduced capacity.Until the uncertainty related to availability and extra costs for projects resources is concluded, margin recognition is temporarily reduced for some projects. The first quarter results will also be negatively impacted by extra costs related to precautions against the virus risk, and provisions for further associated costs.It is estimated that these elements combined will influence the EBITDA for the Field Development segment with around negative NOK 190 million for the first quarter 2020. The effect is that out of first quarter revenues of about NOK 2 190 million, it is estimated that the EBITDA result for the Field Development segment will be around negative NOK 130 million.Further details will be presented at 27 April 2020 as part of Kvaerner’s announcement of the first quarter 2020 financial results.ENDSFor further information, please contact:Media inquiries:
