CEO Dag Skindlo comments:
"I am pleased to report strong first-quarter financial results. We have
performed well across all segments, with a solid revenue increase
internationally. Increased activity and revenue resulted in an EBITDA growth of
23% from the same quarter last year. The first quarter underpins our ability to
execute on our strategy of international growth with margin expansion, and is
the direct result of the dedication and hard work of our team.
In the first quarter, Archer secured more than $1 billion in additional firm
backlog, with large contracts on the Norwegian shelf as well as in the UK,
Brazil, and Argentina. Consequently, Archerâs order backlog increased by 80% to
approximately $2.5 billion in the quarter, providing strong visibility for 2024
and beyond.
This provides visibility and stability while improving our growth outlook. Our
market view remains positive with our resilient cash flow profile and continued
growth. We will focus on reducing our financial leverage in the coming years,
adding financial flexibility and creating shareholder value,"
Archer maintains its estimate of 15-20% EBITDA growth in 2024 as well as a
further reduction of leverage ratio to between 2.4 and 2.7 at year-end 2024.
Subsequent event
Archer completed the acquisition of 65% of the shares in Vertikal Service AS
during May 2024. Vertikal Service AS provides inspection, installation, and
maintenance services to energy customers in the oil and gas, offshore and
onshore wind, and hydro power segments. The acquisition brings synergies for
Archer and opens up new avenues for growth.
Additionally, the company executed a share consolidation in May 2024, which
implies that 25 Archer shares are consolidated into one.
