cash distribution to shareholders, corresponding to an annualized yield of
roughly 9%. For Q1, we report revenue of $278.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of
$41.1 million, representing a YOY-growth of 15% and 18% respectively, when
excluding the divested workover business in Argentina from 2025 financials.
Archerâs CEO, Mr. Skindlo comments:
"We are pleased to deliver another quarter of organic growth, driven in
particular by increased activity within P&A solutions in the Norwegian market.
During the quarter, Archer secured several contract awards, including both new
scope and exercised options, supporting our current backlog of $3.4 billion and
providing strong earnings visibility going forward.
Our cash flow generation in the quarter was below our expectations as we
frontloaded certain growth investments and we saw delay in approval of variation
orders related to project changes and challenges within our offshore wind
business.
As the industry navigates the impacts arising from the current Middle East
conflict, the importance of reliable energy security longer-term has again been
highlighted. Archer is strategically and attractively positioned in brownfield
production and late life activities in our core markets outside of the current
conflict zone".
Highlights from the Q1 trading update:
¡ Q1 revenue of $278 million, down 7% YoY (up 15% excluding divested workover
business)
¡ Q1 EBITDA of $37.2 million, in line with same quarter last year (up 12% when
excluding divested workover business)
¡ EBITDA margin of 13.4%, up from 12.5% same quarter last year
¡ Distribution to shareholders of $6.4 million in Q1 (NOK 0.62/share)
¡ Closed transaction to sell workover business in south of Argentina
¡ Awarded two integrated P&A contracts with Equinor, and a 3-year contract
extension for wireline services with ConocoPhillips Norway
Subsequent events
¡ Two contract extensions with Equinor for wireline intervention services and
oiltools
¡ Awarded integrated geothermal drilling contract in Nevis
¡ Approved $6.6m distribution to be paid to shareholders in Q2 (NOK
0.62/share)
Archer reiterates the financial guidance for the full year 2026, with single
digit growth in EBITDA over 2025. We see a moderate shift in timing with a
stronger first half of 2026 and slightly less growth into second half due to
delayed start-up of some awarded projects, mainly in the UK.
