Wintermar Offshore (WINS:JK) Reports 1H2022 Results

JAKARTA, Jul 29, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Wintermar Offshore Marine (WINS:JK) has announced results for 1H2022. Total revenue was up 25%YOY to US$25 million, helped by higher chartered vessels revenue. Revenues rebounded in 2Q2022 by 39%QOQ as several vessels commenced operations after delays in 1Q2022. All Divisions turned in positive gross profit for the 2nd quarter reflecting higher demand for OSVs.

Owned Vessel Division

After recording a loss for 1Q2022, gross profit for 2Q2022 rebounded to US$2.1 million on revenues of US$7.9 million, +19%QOQ. This reflects a higher utilization rate for Owned Vessels in 2Q2022 of 70% compared to only 61% in 1Q2022. Gross Profit from Owned Vessels turned around to US$0.8 million in 2Q2022 compared to a loss of US$0.58 million in 1Q2022.

The three high tier vessels purchased recently were still awaiting the arrival of dynamic positioning equipment for an upgrade of their DP capability before conducting their Sea Trial and to be ready to sail.

On a YOY basis, Owned Vessel Direct expenses were 2% higher YOY, largely from higher fuel expenses incurred in a one-off demobilization of a vessel returning from work in Africa, offset by an 8% lower depreciation charge due to vessel disposal YOY. Revenue from Owned Vessels declined by 13% YOY due mainly to disposal of 7 Vessels in 2021. Gross Profit from Owned Vessels for 1H2022 amounted to US0.2 million compared to a US$2.7 million in 1H2021.

Chartering and Other Services

For 1H2022, Chartering Revenue jumped 205% YOY to US$7.96 million compared to US$2.6 million in 1H2021, reflecting some contracts in Brunei. For 1H2022, Chartering Division contributed Gross Profit of US$0.9 million (+150% YOY), while other services gross profit was also up significantly at US$1.15 million (+417% YOY).

Total Gross Profit for 1H2022 was US$2.27 million which was 31% lower YOY as compared to 1H2021.

Indirect Expenses and Operating Profit

Total indirect expenses for 1H2022 were US$3.15 million, up 20% as compared to 1H2021 with salary reflecting the highest increase of 31%.

At the Operating level, the Company recorded a loss of US$0.88 million for 1H2022, compared to US$0.7 million profit in 1H2021.

Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable profit

For 1H2022, Interest Expenses fell 39% YOY to US$0.74 million as the Group continues to reduce outstanding bank debt. At 30 June 2022, the Net Debt to Equity (Net Gearing) amounted to 13%. Share of Equity in Earnings of Associates totalled US$0.38 million.

The Net Loss Attributable to Shareholders for 1H2022 was US$1 million compared to a loss of US$0.5 million for 1H2021.

EBITDA for 1H2022 was 29% lower YOY at US$5.3 million.

Outlook for Oil and Gas exploration

With Brent oil prices staying high during the 2Q2022, activity in upstream oil continued to be firm. The International Energy Agency (IEA) in its June Oil Market Report projected that global oil demand will reach 103m b/d in 2023, while total global oil output is still constrained due to sanctions against Russia. Westwood Global Energy research is projecting a strong industry upcycle for offshore investments through 2026 if oil prices stay high.

Stronger demand for OSVs have been seen worldwide, as utilization rates are higher across all geographic areas. However, although charter rates were higher in the North Sea and Middle East, they have not risen much yet in Asia Pacific.

Outlook

The Company is looking to better utilization in 2H2022 when the recently acquired PSVs will be ready for operation. There have been more requests for quotation and several new tenders announced in Indonesia and the Asian region. Charter rates for OSVs in Asia are expected to rise after utilization rates pick up further next year.

Contracts on hand as at end June 2022 totalled US$62 million.

Wintermar Offshore (WINS:JK) Unveils Growth Strategy

JAKARTA, Jun 24, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Wintermar Offshore Marine (WINS:JK) has invested US$12 million to acquire 3 Platform Supply Vessels and 3 Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels since November 2021, to gear up for new drilling cycle.

In the Public Expose on 24 June 2022, PT Wintermar Offshore Marine Tbk unveiled their growth strategy to position the Company for an anticipated upturn in drilling. As the global rig count has risen steadily over the past few months, Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) utilization has improved globally and charter rates have started to pick up.

To raise the yield of the fleet, the Company has improved the fleet composition through the sale and reinvestment of certain vessels. 95% of the fleet is now concentrated into higher value vessels. Wintermar now has seven Platform Supply Vessels, three of which are undergoing docking for reactivation and should be ready for operations by 2H2022. This is timed in anticipation of a stronger 2023 as there has been an increase in project approvals for offshore drilling and corresponding rise in demand for OSVs.

Finance Director Janto Lili reported that the Company has succeeded in controlling costs while continuing to repay debt. The Company turned around in 2021 with a net profit after tax of US$0.2 million following several years of net losses. Net gearing was reduced to 14.7% by end of March 2022.

Managing Director, Sugiman Layanto reiterated an optimistic view for the coming years, with OSV charter rates projected to rise. This is due to the demand for OSVs rising in line with the jump in offshore drilling projects, while the supply of operationally ready OSVs is still limited due to the industry downturn over the past years.

In the longer term investments in renewable energy are expected to grow while investments in oil and gas are still projected to be stable to meet the energy needs of the world. As an OSV operator, Wintermar will benefit from higher demand for vessels initially from oil and gas industry but in the coming years additional upside in demand is expected from the offshore wind industry.

For the future, Wintermar will focus on higher value vessels to improve fleet yields and continue to improve cost efficiency.

As at end of May 2022, the Company's Contracts on hand amounted to US$64 million.

Mooreast Outlines Strategies to Enhance Mooring Solutions for the Floating Renewable Energy Sector

SINGAPORE, May 30, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Mooreast Holdings Ltd announced plans to expand its mooring and rigging solutions product portfolio and to enhance partnerships with international players in order to extend its value proposition to the global floating offshore renewable energy sector.

Mooreast released a Business Update outlining growth strategies outlined its growth strategies following its successful listing on Singapore Exchange (SGX) Catalist in November 2021.

The full announcement to the SGX is appended below:

The Board of Directors of Mooreast Holdings Ltd. would like to update shareholders on several developments in the Group's business and growth strategies since the release of its financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2021 (FY2021) in February 2022.

Having successfully completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Singapore Exchange Catalist Board on 24 November 2021, the Group intends to leverage its listed status and stronger balance sheet to strengthen its foothold within the global floating offshore renewable energy sector. These post-IPO strategies include:

(I) expanding its product portfolio of mooring and rigging solutions to better support renewable energy customers;
(ii) establishing collaborations with international companies involved in the sector; and
(iii) enhancing capabilities within its newly established Yard Division at its new premises at 51 Shipyard Road in Singapore.

New Products for the Renewable Sector

Mooreast has been actively developing and marketing a suite of innovative mooring and rigging solutions catering to various markets, with particular focus on floating renewable platforms.

Anchors

In the 2nd quarter of 2022, the Group, through its subsidiary Mooreast Europe, secured a EUR1 million (approximately S$1.46 million) order for MA9P anchors, the latest model designed and produced by Mooreast, for one of Bluewater Energy Services' projects. Bluewater Energy Services, founded in 1978, is headquartered in The Netherlands. With the anchors expected to be delivered by the end of August 2022, the contract underscores the rapid market acceptance of our proprietary design which debuted in January 2022. The Group foresees its MA9 anchors becoming one of the core anchor models for the floating wind energy market due to their versatility and high holding capacity.

Floating Solar Farm Solution

The Group has also successfully completed a tank test for Moorfloat, a proprietary solution catered to serve floating solar farms. Conducted by the National Maritime Research Institute in Japan, Moorfloat was tested to be able to withstand wave conditions of up to 3 metres, making it a resilient platform for developers to install offshore solar panels.

The breakthrough Moorfloat design overcomes several mooring limitations faced by many floating solar projects currently. Its modular design facilities also make it easy to transport. The floater can be used in remote areas, as well as an alternative to other floating infrastructure projects for on-grid and off-grid renewable energy generation. The Group aims to have a full-scale demonstration ready by end of 2022.

Chain Stopper

The Group has also developed a Dual Axis Chain Stopper, a critical component which integrates the floater with the mooring system. Mooreast's Dual Axis design allows greater degrees of freedom for the mooring line. This feature minimizes fatigue and wear on mooring chains, making it suitable for long-term mooring applications and reliability. The Group has already received in-principle approval from the American Bureau of Shipping, one of the leading classification societies in the world, and has already started marketing the product to customers in the offshore energy market.

Other Products

Among other products, Mooreast is also developing an in-line tensioner, which allows the use of simple fixed stoppers and floating wind developers to tension mooring lines without mobilising expensive offshore assets such as a floating crane, thereby reducing installation costs.

From Products To Total Solutions

These products underscore the Group's ability to add value to our mooring projects. By developing or assembling a host of innovative products, backed by strong engineering basis and analysis capabilities, Mooreast is positioning itself as a holistic, total solutions provider for a variety of floating platforms used to support offshore renewable energy generation.

This approach is being adopted amid growing emphasis globally to harness open water bodies further from shore for renewable energy. While such projects can reduce the environmental impact of terrestrial and near-shore projects, they require greater technical skills to meet more demanding conditions as well as increasing environmental standards.

Assessment of Recent Commercialisation of Offshore Wind Energy Projects

Offshore wind energy is expected to make up an increasing portion of the world's energy mix. A reported 4.2 GW of new offshore wind capacity, an all-time high, will be added to Europe in 2022[1], and capacity addition is set to continue increasing in the next few years. In April 2022, Taiwan's biggest offshore wind farm began generating power[2], and more offshore wind installations are in the pipeline. These projects underscore the shifting demand toward offshore renewable wind energy, as this sector crosses the tipping point for commercialisation.

Developers are moving their wind turbines offshore, beginning with coastal shores and progressively moving into deeper waters, where floating platforms are a more viable solution to building fixed structures into the seabed. These developers will require offshore and mooring experience to anchor these floating platforms to the seabed, while weathering the harsh conditions of the open sea.

Establishing New Partnerships

Against this backdrop, another thrust of the Group's post-IPO strategy has been to deepen penetration into the renewable energy sector globally. Since February 2022, Mooreast has established collaborations with several leading Japanese companies in the energy, construction and engineering space to pursue opportunities in floating wind farms in Japan and other countries. Mooreast will provide technical advice and support on mooring systems for such projects.

The Group will also focus its efforts to strengthen collaborations with developers in the UK, France, Korea, Taiwan and USA. As more floating renewable projects begin to reach commercialisation, the Group will be able to leverage its experience and track record to capture market share.

Enhancing Yard Division in Singapore

The Group established a new Yard Division in September 2021. Taking advantage of the 192-meter waterfront facility at 51 Shipyard Road, this division provides a suite of afloat repair, upgrade and reactivation services to vessel owners and agents. It also offers shipbuilding services for small and mid-sized vessels in our workshops and open yard.

Between September 2021 to April 2022, the Group served over 144 vessels, and expects demand to continue increasing as more vessels take the opportunity to carry out maintenance and overhaul during the recent spike in oil and gas prices.

In response, we have continued to enhance the waterfront berth at our yard, upgrading quayside power supply units to provide offshore power to vessels, thereby reducing their reliance on marine fuel where possible.

The Group is also offering various supplies and services to yacht owners and agents, such as load testing, changing crane wires, and provision of mooring equipment. By increasing greater synergy among our divisions, Mooreast seeks to provide holistic solutions to various vessels docked at our berth.

Outlook

Through its involvement in projects since 2013, Mooreast has developed a strong track record as a mooring solutions leader for the renewable sector. While the Group remains cautious about the economic outlook due to global geopolitical developments and the pandemic, it believes that the strategies initiated and the recent IPO have built a much stronger business foundation.

Wintermar Offshore Marine Reports 1Q2022 Results; Total revenue up 3%

JAKARTA, Apr 29, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Wintermar Offshore Marine (WINS:JK) has announced results for 1Q2022. Total revenue was up 3% YOY to US$10.5 million, with stronger chartering revenues compensating for a drop in Owned Vessel revenue from COVID-19 delays.

Oil prices spiked in 1Q2022 as a result of the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russian oil and gas. The ensuing oil shortage sparked a rise in investment in oil exploration and a resurgence in drilling programs in Asia.

The Company was impacted quite severely by a spike in Omicron infections on the fleet, which led to prolonged delays in the commencement of operations in international as well as domestic charters in 1Q2022. Owned Vessel revenues declined but this was compensated by a jump in revenues from the Chartering and Other Services Divisions.

Owned Vessel Division

Several vessels were infected with COVID-19 in 1Q2022 and had to be quarantined. Emergency crew changes were arranged, but revenues were penalized due to the resulting delays while higher costs were incurred as vessels had been fully crewed in anticipation of on-hire. Crew salary was flat YOY at US$2.1million, operations and maintenance costs rising by 40%YOY and 23%YOY respectively in preparation for new contracts. Fuel was significantly higher at US$0.67 million due to the one-off cost of international mobilization and demobilization of vessels due to different locations for on- and off-hire. This led to a 21% YOY decline in Owned Vessel revenue to US$6.6 million, while direct costs rose by 10% YOY.

During the quarter, the Company purchased an additional 4 vessels, comprising one PSV, 2 units of 5,000 BHP AHTS and 1 unit of 6,000 BHP AHTS. Two of these vessels are being modified for reactivation while the other two are finishing off existing contracts and providing some charter income. As 4 of the 6 vessels acquired since 4Q2021 were undergoing docking and reactivation in 1Q2022, there are no revenues arising whereas costs have started to incur. All these reasons led to a gross loss of US$0.58 million from the Owned Vessel Division.

Chartering and Other Services

Gross Profit from Chartering jumped by 260% YOY to US$0.37 million with the addition of three new contracts in Brunei, while Other Services Division saw a 49% increase in gross profit to US$0.38 million.

Total Gross Profit for 1Q2022 was US$0.18 million compared to US$2.1 million in 1Q2021.

Indirect Expenses and Operating Profit

The biggest contribution to a rise in Indirect Expenses was a rise in staff salaries which increased by 47% due to the annual discretionary bonuses paid out in March, and an increase in staffing. The Company also readjusted salaries in 2021 to reverse most of the salary reductions volunteered by employees when the COVID-19 started in 2020. With the increase in indirect expenses, the Company recorded an Operating Loss of US$1.18 million.

Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable profit

Interest expenses fell by 51% YOY to US$0.36 million in line with much lower gearing while the stronger Rupiah also resulted in an FX loss of US$0.03 million. Loss in earnings of associate amounted to US$0.07 million after recording a small profit in 1Q2021 while there was a tax penalty of US$0.15 million in a subsidiary.

Net loss attributable to shareholders for 1Q2022 was US$1.8 million compared to a loss of US$0.34 million in 1Q2021. EBITDA for the quarter was US$1.7 million from US$4.3 million in 1Q2021.

Outlook for Oil and Gas exploration

After the sharp spike, releases of strategic oil reserves by the US and downward revisions to 2022 oil demand arising from COVID-19 lockdowns in China have taken some pressure off oil prices. With Brent crude oil prices settling around the US$100/barrel mark, and sanctions against Russian oil, there is still a huge incentive for oil exploration. In Asia, there is stronger demand for oil services as new drilling projects have been announced. In Indonesia, Pertamina has announced a plan to drill 29 exploration wells and 813 development wells in 2022 while private oil companies are also planning drilling campaigns.

In 2021, global offshore investment in EPC (Exploration, procurement and construction) grew by 200% YOY to US$42 billion and with the Ukraine invasion, 2022 is expected to see further growth. Below is a chart from Westwood Global Energy projecting sustained higher levels of global offshore investment.

Strategy and Outlook

The Company embarked on a capital expenditure plan in 4Q2021 and to date has acquired a total of 6 vessels ranging from 5000BHP AHTS to Platform Supply Vessels. After docking and reactivation, these vessels will be ready for operations in mid 2Q2022, in time for an anticipated pick up in demand as drilling campaigns start by mid 2022.

In Asia, there are projects starting in Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei and India which require higher value support vessels. Charter rates are still constrained in Indonesia due to low budgets set last year, but some projects which were delayed are now expected to commence operations in the coming months. We are optimistic that the long awaited recovery in drilling is underway.

Contracts on hand as at the end March 2022 totalled US$64 million.

Wintermar Plans to Reposition Company for Growth

JAKARTA, Aug 25, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – In the Public Expose on 25th August 2021, PT Wintermar Offshore Marine Tbk (WINS:JK) Managing Director Sugiman Layanto affirmed the positive outlook for the Company, as higher oil prices have initiated a new investment cycle for Offshore oilfield development.

The Company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on 19th August 2021 approved the issuance of up to 415 million shares without pre-emptive rights, of which 400 million are to be issued at any time within the next 24 months, which together with the Company's lowered net gearing of 29% lays the foundation for setting a new direction of growth.

Summarizing the results for the first half this year, Finance Director Janto Lili said that the downsizing of fleet and cost efficiency measures had turned the Company around, from a gross loss last year to a gross profit of US$3.3 million in the first 6 months of 2021.

In his review of the business outlook, Managing Director Sugiman Layanto gave a four-point strategy for growth: 1) To focus on a streamlined and efficient fleet, 2) To continue to improve operational efficiency to keep a low cost base, 3) Positioning for future growth areas like new assets and venturing into renewable energy, and lastly 4) to integrate sustainability into business planning.

The positive industry prospects supported by higher oil prices has resulted in a higher demand for OSVs. With net gearing reduced to 29% currently and access to funding with the approval of share issuance, Wintermar is now ready to start investing again.

As at end of June 2021, the Company's Contracts on hand amounted to US$69 million.
