2. Message from the CEO

The unprecedented health crisis as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in previous years preceded war returning to Europe when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. With supply chains still recovering from shutdowns and trade disruptions, inflation soared further due to the rising cost of energy. As such the first half of 2022 brought on a combination of macro financial and economic challenges that investors have not seen in decades.

The impact on the global economy and stock markets around the world has drastically changed the investment climate. Despite tumultuous times as a result of increasing interest rates, high inflation and looming recession, it is quite apparent that the energy sector and associated transition to renewables has interesting opportunities to offer.

Oceanteam remains confident and optimistic but at the same time critical in its search for investment opportunities and the corresponding increase in shareholder value. At this point various propositions with predictable cashflows are being evaluated. Any material developments on this process will be announced in due course.

In the meantime, activity in the Solutions segment was just below expectations with revenue over the first 6 months of 2022 being USD 1.5 million compared to USD 3.5 million in H1 2021. However, further to ongoing cost reductions the overall Group result improved to a net loss of USD 1.1 million vs. a net loss of USD 1.5 million in H1 2021.

Despite the net loss, the divestment of our shipping assets, the subsequent restructuring and other cost cutting measures, our cash position did improve considerably compared to H1 of the previous year from USD 1.2 million to USD 2.1 million as per 30th of June 2022. The existing (shipping) joint venture entities with Bourbon are expected to be dissolved in Q4 2022.

Outlook Solutions:

Whereas fewer subsea cable projects and fierce competition marked the first 6 months of this year, increasing demand, especially in the renewables segment, with better margins is expected and already observed for the second half of this year.

Another corporate event was the election of Mr Jacob Johannes van Heijst as board member of Oceanteam ASA in April 2022. I take this opportunity to welcome him once more and look forward to continue exploring growth opportunities in close cooperation with the Board of Directors.

Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank our small but dedicated team. I am truly grateful for their unrelenting efforts, hard work and enthusiasm in setting a new course and creating a better future for Oceanteam.

Hans Reinigert

CEO of Oceanteam ASA
