FOURTH QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Refinancing and IPO successfully completed, full-year results in line with
guidance.

Stavanger, 14 February 2025: Moreld AS ("Moreld" or “the company") reports a
solid fourth-quarter performance, marking a robust conclusion to the year. The
company achieved fourth quarter revenues of NOK 2.4 billion and an adjusted
EBITDA of NOK 128 million.

The results reflect robust performance in a quarter with lower seasonal demand
for subsea and marine operations in the North Sea and intercontinental transit
of two vessels commencing on new projects in West Africa. For the full year,
Moreld's proforma revenue was NOK 9.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA exceeded NOK 1
billion, which is in the upper range of the company’s guidance.

“We are pleased with our operational and financial performance in the quarter.
We have seen robust activity levels with a particularly strong performance and
contribution from our maintenance and modification projects. We have also
strengthened our balance sheet significantly, following a successful IPO and
debt reduction. This positions Moreld well for long-term growth and shareholder
value creation,” said Geir Austigard, CEO of Moreld.
