Reuben Segal, CEO of ABL Group ASA (“ABL Group” or the “Company”), commented:
“Ending the year with record high operational cash flows, 2023 represents another step change in the development of ABL Group. The acquisition of AGR accounted for a large element of our annual growth of 50%, but we also demonstrated organic growth in all existing parts of the business, led by in renewables consultancy OWC. We continue our investment in OWC, despite lower utilisation in the quarter, as this is a longer-term play on building a leading renewables consultancy capability.
Our outlook for ABL Group for 2024 is upbeat. A larger share of global oil & gas expenditure is expected to go into offshore execution, where ABL Group’s core capacity lies. The offshore wind industry sentiment is improving ahead of what will be the busiest year of auctions ever in the sector. Finally, activity in the maritime sector remains high and stable, providing a robust base for our more cyclical operations.”
