In general, the CEO of Endúr ASA is pleased with the second quarter, both increase in revenues as well as profit for the Group.
“Within the Energy segment, the positive result for the quarter is related to one-off effects and reversed provisions. The other two segments, Maritime and Aqua, have both delivered solid operations during the quarter with satisfactory profitability. The quarterly figures thus confirm the importance of being present in different segments”, Eikeland states, pointing out the fact that this gives the Group a more robust platform balancing the effect from market fluctuations.
Eikeland considers the market outlook as positive for all three segments.
“We still see exciting growth potential in our three segments Energy, Maritime and Aqua. Seasonal fluctuations will result in reduced revenues in this quarter. For the second half of the year as a whole, we maintain our ambition for continued profitable growth for Endúr ASA”, says Eikeland.
