Vow: Q1 trading update - Nordea

Vow published its Q1 2021 trading update today (it reports semi-annually). The results were soft due to an inactive cruise fleet, which continues to have a negative impact on Aftersales, in addition to negative margins within the Landbased operation as the company prepares its business to cope with future demand.

Revenues came in at NOK 92.8m, down 20% y/y, and EBITDA at NOK 10.2m, down 27.1% y/y. Despite this, Cruise Projects delivered a record-high EBITDA margin of 26.3% compared to last year’s 24.3%. In addition, its order backlog was down marginally y/y, as cruise owners are looking beyond the current lockdowns caused by the pandemic and preparing for the future.

We expect Cruise Projects to continue to perform well, as the order backlog secures revenues until 2024-25, and we expect a rebound in Aftersales towards the summer as cruise owners prepare to activate their fleets. We would highlight the significa nt potential within Landbased activities, as its partnerships with Repsol, ArcelorMittal and Elkem could result in system deliveries beyond today’s orders within cruise.

Note that Vow Green Metals, to be listed within months (and which will build/run/operate the plant at Follum), has with its first production phase of 10,000 tonnes of biocarbon an order backlog potential that could contribute NOK 250m in revenues for 2021 and 2022 for Vow.
