  • Group EBITDA of EUR -3.2m for Q1 2024 compared with EUR -0.2m in Q4 2023 and EUR -1.0m in Q1 2023. The result was impacted by the project-driven construction business and activities in the quarter prior to vessel operations from Q2 onward.
  • IWS Fleet took delivery of IWS Windwalker on 26 March. The vessel arrived in Denmark on 25 May and is undergoing final quayside preparations before commencing its charter contract with TenneT TSO in June.
  • IWS Skywalker started its first charter contract at the Dogger Bank Wind Farm on 31 March and has commercially performed to our full satisfaction up to the date of this report.
  • IWS Fleet has on 2 February entered a three-year frame term agreement starting in 2025 with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy A/S - the minimum commitment covers about 1,300 days with a revenue backlog of EUR 51-55m. The first charter contract under the frame term agreement was signed on 25 March.
  • IWS Fleet has on 20 February entered a time charter contract at market terms for a minimum of 4 months that will start in June with TenneT TSO B.V., a leading European Transmission System Operator owned by the Dutch government.
  • IWS announced on 27 May that it has entered a strategic partnership with Sumitomo Corporation ("Sumitomo"). IWS Fleet AS will raise EUR 60 million in equity by issuing new shares to Sumitomo based on a pre-money valuation of EUR 176 million. Upon completion of the transaction, Sumitomo will own 25.38% of IWS Fleet AS, with Integrated Wind Solutions ASA ("the Company") continuing to own the remaining shares. In partnership with Sumitomo, we are looking forward to continuing to build IWS Fleet and exploring further expansion opportunities.

Lars-Henrik Røren, CEO, commented: "We leave an eventful first quarter behind with our first newbuilding, IWS Skywalker, having commenced operation at Dogger Bank Wind Farm, and the successful delivery of the IWS Windwalker with subsequent mobilisation to Europe. We are pleased to see our focus on growth and financing initiatives result in the strategic partnership agreement with the Japanese integrated trading company Sumitomo Corporation. IWS Services experienced a soft Q1; although the project-driven business model will experience quarterly earnings fluctuations, we have initiated strategic measures to improve profitability. We also keep our 2024 guidance unchanged, with a record year in terms of revenues backed by firm orders. IWS is now on a solid business- and financial track, and we are continuously exploring further growth of the Group."

MARKET OBSERVATIONS

by

Europe leads the way

High political ambitions and improving market conditions are currently driving the growth of the offshore wind market. Yearly installation capacity is expected to double over the next few years, from a forecast 5 GW in 2024 to 12 GW of new capacity by 2026. It will then remain stable at around 10 GW annually until 2029, when we expect a jump in installations to about 20 GW. Overall, the expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) towards 2030 will be 32% in both established and emerging markets. Europe is persistently advancing towards greater renewable energy adoption and is projected to be the clear market leader, with 107 GW cumulative installations anticipated by 2030 out of a predicted about 137 GW total offshore wind capacity (excluding China). APAC is expected to become the second-largest region, with a development target of 17 GW by 2030, followed by the Americas with 12 GW.

2023 concluded with a record 4.2 GW of new offshore wind farms coming online in Europe, a 40% increase over 2022. These numbers position 2023 as the best year on record for new offshore wind installations across Europe. The Netherlands, France, and the UK led capacity installation, with the Hollandse Kust Zuid 1.5 GW project now recognised as the world's largest operational wind farm. 2023 was also a record year for FIDs, with more than 12 GW of projects reaching investment decisions, 9 GW of which was in Europe.

Nevertheless, challenges persist. Factors such as high interest rates, supply chain bottlenecks, and wavering political commitments complicate the growth trends. European developers respond by refining their strategic focus and narrowing their scope to core markets. Notably, RWE is expanding in the UK with the procurement of Vattenfall's Norfolk Trio, while Ørsted is exiting several offshore wind markets, such as Norway, Spain, and Portugal. Despite these shifts, the overall outlook for offshore wind in Europe remains largely unaffected.

The year 2024 has also started on a positive note. With over 50 GW of auctions planned, it holds the potential to break previous auction records. The top five countries auctioning capacity in the next two years are Germany, Denmark, the UK, France, and the Netherlands. Germany plans to auction 8 GW of offshore wind in 2024 alone, and on 22nd of April 2024, Denmark opened for the auction of 6 GW of offshore wind, the largest auction round in the country to date. The Danish auction further requires the developers to have the projects commissioned by the end of 2030.

Supply chain improvements

The increased levels of FID have triggered several investments in the supply chain, which will help unlock further growth by removing some of the supply chain constraints. In connection with the Baltic Power decision, Vestas has decided to build a new blade factory in Poland, expected to start operations in 2026. Furthermore, Windar Renewables signed a concession agreement with Port of Szczecin for a planned offshore tower factory, and Baltic Towers is building another factory in Gdansk. Three new foundation manufacturing facilities are being built by Sif in Rotterdam (scheduled to go into operation in July 2024), Baltic Structures in Esbjerg (proposed but awaits FID) and SeAH Wind in the UK (planned to commence production by 2025).

Accelerated supply chain investments across most major components will be required to tackle bottlenecks looming on the horizon, especially from 2027 onward. Floating wind is still at an early stage with planned auctions in the UK, France, Norway, Portugal, and Italy, but project economics, supply chain, and grid issues hinder developments.

US ambitions remain high

The pace must increase in the United States, with an ambition to develop 30 GW by 2030. Green Ducklings' forecast suggests that due to the challenges in the past 12 months and other conditions (Jones Act constraints, supply chain issues, etc.), the 30 GW ambition will be delayed by 4-6 years.

Despite challenges, developers still hold interest in the US market. On February 29, 2024, New York Governor Hochul announced that NYSERDA had competitively selected two offshore wind projects as a result of its fourth offshore wind solicitation, Empire Wind 1 (Equinor - planned 810 MW), and Sunrise Wind (Ørsted and Eversource - planned 924 MW).

Following the good news of the fourth solicitation however, market uncertainty in the US continues as New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has cancelled three projects with a combined capacity of over 4 GW. The cancellation is a direct result of GE abandoning the 18MW platform, forcing NYSERDA to recall the provisional award of $300 million to support the GE Vernova nacelle and blade facilities. To stay on track for their ambition of 9 GW OFW by 2035, NYSERDA recently announced that the state is to issue a fifth solicitation (NY5) for OFW this summer.

The US federal government recently laid out a five-year blueprint for offshore wind lease auctions across the United States. The plan could see as many as 12 separate auctions conducted over the next five years. The leasing schedule includes four potential offshore lease sales in 2024, one each in 2025 and 2026, two in 2027, and four in 2028.

MARKET OBSERVATIONS

by

Market for C/SOVs

The development pipeline and future ambitions for offshore wind continue to increase demand for CSOVs in the short term, and also in the long term. With increasing development and a larger base of installed offshore turbines, demand for CSOVs is set to be strong in the construction, commissioning, and operations and maintenance ("O&M") phases, particularly in Europe.

Going into the traditionally busiest season for installations, most key vessel segments, including those for offshore wind as well as oil and gas and subsea, remain fully utilised.

The global fleet of CSOVs and SOVs amounts to 46 vessels in operation of which 35 are considered Tier 1 and 11 as Tier 2 (including IWS Windwalker for this purpose). The total orderbook consists of 54 vessels, of which four belong to IWS.

According to Clarksons, the demand for CSOVs has been unusually high throughout the winter months. Offshore markets have experienced strong demand, and expectations for charter rates in the summer of 2024 are similar to the high charter rates in the summer of 2023.

The limited vessel availability has led charterers to secure tonnage earlier, such as our own unprecedented frame term agreement with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy A/S for 2025-2027.

The CSOV market maintains its appealing growth trajectory. With ongoing expansion in offshore wind projects and a significant number of government auctions anticipated this year, the business environment remains favourable for O&M service vessels.

MAIN EVENTS DURING Q1 AND POST-QUARTER EVENTS

Newbuildings

The Group has ordered a fleet of six identical Skywalker class vessels. The firm average yard price for the six vessels is about EUR 48 million per vessel (turnkey contracts). About 50% of the vessel value is related to Norwegian export companies providing advanced technology, ensuring safe and efficient operations. The Group also has options for two additional vessels.

The first vessel, IWS Skywalker, commenced its maiden contract on 31 March at the Dogger Bank Wind Farm. This is the first out of three separate charter contracts at Dogger Bank Wind Farm.

The second vessel, IWS Windwalker, was delivered on 26 March and is currently undergoing final quayside preparations before commencing its charter contract with TenneT TSO in June.

The third vessel, IWS Seawalker completed sea trials at the beginning of May and is scheduled for delivery in Q3 2024. The delivery of the fourth vessel, IWS Starwalker, will follow about three months thereafter.

The fifth and sixth vessels, IWS Moonwalker and IWS Sunwalker, had their keels laid in April, and their construction is progressing according to schedule.

The Group is monitoring the situation in the Red Sea and will assess and seek to mitigate the risk for each of the remaining vessels.

The global shipyards are not immune to the global supply-chain pressure, and there are general risks related to commissioning, and the timing of delivery of key components for vessels 5 and 6.

Financing

The Group has drawn down the second tranche of the Green Senior Secured Credit Facility (EUR 28 million) for the delivery- and post-delivery debt financing of the second vessel, IWS Windwalker.

The Group is continuously exploring alternatives to finance its commitments in the most cost-efficient way. This includes, but is not limited to, bank financing, lease financing, bond financing, and equity financing.

The Group announced on 27 May that it has entered a strategic partnership with Sumitomo Corporation. IWS Fleet AS will raise EUR 60 million by issuing new shares to Sumitomo. Upon completion of the transaction, Sumitomo will own 25.38% of

the shares of IWS Fleet AS, with the Company continuing to own the remaining shares.

IWS and Sumitomo share ambitions in the offshore wind industry and will together explore further expansion opportunities. The proceeds from the share issue will place IWS Fleet in a strong financial position.

Employment

IWS Fleet has secured a considerable frame term agreement with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy A/S, one of the leading turbine manufacturers in the offshore wind industry. With a duration of three years, commencing in 2025, the agreement represents one of the largest contracts ever awarded in the walk-to-work turbine commissioning sector. IWS Fleet will provide three Skywalker-class CSOVs for turbine commissioning work in European waters. With a minimum commitment of about 1,300 days, the agreement ensures a revenue backlog of EUR 51-55 million. IWS will have a fleet of identical CSOVs delivered when the charters commence and has the option under the agreement to nominate which vessels will perform the services. The first charter contract under the frame term agreement was signed on 25 March.

IWS Fleet AS has entered into a time charter contract at market terms with TenneT TSO B.V., a leading European Transmission System Operator owned by the Dutch government. The charter contract has a minimum duration of 4 months and will commence in June.

IWS Skywalker started its first out of three separate charter contracts at Dogger Bank Wind Farm in March 2024 and has performed with 100% commercial uptime up to the date of this report.

The Group also has a charter contract with Asso.subsea Single Member S.A. of Greece for up to eight months, starting in Q4 2024/Q1 2025.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income statement

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was EUR 5.4 million (Q4: EUR 6.5 million), of which IWS Services contributed EUR

4.6 million, IWS Fleet contributed EUR 0.6 million from the mobilisation of IWS Skywalker on its first charter contract and the provision of third-party technical management services, and the group's share of net profit in PEAK Wind was EUR 0.2 million.

The Group's share of the net profit of PEAK Wind in the first quarter of 2024 was EUR 0.3 million before EUR -0.1 million amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets (EUR 0.3 million before EUR -0.1 million amortisation in Q4). IWS has a fixed-price option to acquire additional shares of PEAK Wind, which is valued at EUR 1.2 million on the balance sheet.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were EUR 8.6 million compared with EUR 6.7 million in the previous quarter. The increase is due to higher personnel expenses in the quarter, including bonuses, and vessel operating expenses.

Group EBITDA was EUR -3.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared with EUR -0.2 million in the previous quarter. IWS Services and PEAK Wind contributed EUR -1.0 million (Q4: EUR

0.6 million) and EUR 0.2 million (Q4: EUR 0.2 million), respectively, with the other Group entities contributing a combined EBITDA of EUR -2.4 million (Q4: EUR -1.0 million). For IWS Services' project-driven business model, the margins are expected to fluctuate quarterly due to the various project mix and progress.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was EUR -2.8 million compared with a net profit of EUR 0.7 million in the fourth quarter. The EUR 3.5 million difference primarily relates to the higher personnel expenses in the quarter, including bonuses, vessel opex, fluctuations in the project-driven business in IWS Services, and the Q4 fair value gain on the PEAK Wind option.

Liquidity and financial position

Total cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 26.9 million at quarter-end, down from EUR 31.0 million at the year-end. The net decrease is explained primarily by capital expenditure on vessels under construction financed by the drawdown of the second tranche of the Green Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The carrying value of vessels is EUR 48.2 million, as IWS Skywalker has been reclassified from vessels under construction. The carrying value of vessels under construction of EUR 78.9 million includes yard instalments on the remaining five CSOVs, and accumulated directly attributable project costs and borrowing costs during the construction period. It has decreased from EUR 95.7 million at year-end primarily as a result of the completion of IWS Skywalker, and the payment of the delivery instalment of IWS Windwalker in March. Details on the payment structure of the newbuilding contracts are found in Note 8 - Commitments and contingencies.

Other fixed assets of EUR 1.6 million include office and vehicle leases (Q4: EUR 1.7 million).

The intangible assets of EUR 6.1 million include goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets (Q4: EUR 6.2 million).

Other non-current assets of EUR 0.7 million relate to borrowing costs paid on the undrawn tranches of the Green Senior Secured Credit Facility, which are amortised over the term of the facility and capitalised as borrowing costs during the period of construction of the vessels (Q4: EUR 0.9 million).

Trade receivables and contract assets of EUR 8.5 million and EUR 0.9 million, respectively, consist mainly of trade receivables and work in progress related to construction contracts in IWS Services, and the movement in the quarter is primarily the result of the timing of invoicing (Q4: EUR 5.1 million and EUR 4.4 million, respectively).

Interest-bearing debt includes the Green Senior Secured Credit Facility of EUR 54.8 million and lease liabilities of EUR 1.4 million for offices, vehicles and office equipment and an overdraft facility of EUR 1.4 million.

Other non-current liabilities of EUR 0.9 million relate to the fair value of synthetic share options granted under the Group's long-term incentive plan that become exercisable after more than 12 months, and pensions.

Book equity on 31 March 2024 was EUR 120.4 million, and total assets were EUR 188.5 million, giving an equity ratio of 64% at quarter-end (Q4: 77%).

OUTLOOK

The offshore wind market remains strong with a pipeline of development projects, auctions and political ambitions.

The IWS group of companies is well positioned to take part in this growth within its relevant segments providing CSOVs (IWS Fleet), electrical works and above-waterline services (ProCon), offshore wind market intelligence and supply-chain consultancy (Green Ducklings), and the consultancy & advisory and operations & asset management services of wind farms provided by the PEAK Wind Group.

The strategic partnership with Sumitomo Corporation strengthens IWS and IWS Fleet's financial position. IWS and Sumitomo share ambitions in the offshore wind industry and will explore further expansion opportunities together.

Our first vessel, IWS Skywalker, commenced its first out of three Dogger Bank Wind Farm contracts in March 2024 with 100% commercial uptime up to the date of this report. IWS Windwalker was delivered from the shipyard in March 2024 and is undergoing final quayside preparations in Denmark before starting its charter contract with TenneT TSO in June.

The third vessel, IWS Seawalker is scheduled for delivery in Q3. The delivery of the fourth vessel, IWS Starwalker, will follow after about three months. The fifth and sixth vessels, IWS Moonwalker and IWS Sunwalker, are scheduled to be ready for operations in Q2 and Q3 2025, respectively.

The construction and engineering subsidiary of IWS Services, ProCon, mainly works on long-lead contracts, secured 3-12 months in advance. IWS Services is well-positioned to achieve revenue growth of more than 20% in 2024 backed by secured projects.

We expect PEAK Wind Group to continue its strong growth and expand its geographical scope and offerings. PEAK Wind has doubled in size (revenues and staff) over the last two years and is well-positioned to achieve revenue growth of more than 20% in 2024.

IWS Fleet will continue to ramp up operations, which will contribute to the Group reporting a net profit from Q3. The Group's net profit will continue to improve as further vessels enter operation in 2024 and 2025.
