Outlook full-year 2022: ongoing revenue growth, margin expansion and positive free cash flow
Mark Heine, CEO: “I am pleased to report a solid set of results. In uncertain macro-economic and geopolitical times, we continue to experience strong demand for our solutions for the energy transition and climate change adaptation. We are involved in numerous site characterisations for offshore wind parks, including Thor in Denmark, Atlantic shores in the US, and Australia’s first development Star of the South. Within days of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida we completed damage assessments, which will allow the hardest hit communities to recover from this catastrophic event as quickly as possible. At the same time, the urgency for balancing affordability, sustainability and reliable energy is leading to increased interest in the traditional energy markets, in particular in LNG. Recently, we have been engaged to perform site investigation and consulting services for FLNG projects in Altamira, Mexico and the US Gulf of Mexico.
Our EBIT margin increased in all regions. We realised further improvement in the operational performance of our land business and, through improved pricing of our solutions, we are mitigating the impact of unprecedented inflation and supply chain pressures. In line with these developments and to support the ongoing growth, full-year capex is now estimated at around EUR 125 million.
With our solutions for the energy transition, climate change adaptation and sustainable infrastructure, we are well placed to capitalise on the strength of our end-markets, with clients seeking to secure capacity, also beyond the coming 12 months. We are making good progress on our Path to Profitable Growth and we are on track to deliver on our mid-term targets.”
