Finance
Even though the markets have improved, the Group is not in a position to pay its debts without a significant conversion of debt into equity and thereby continue as a going concern.
The Group’s financial position is not sustainable, and the equity is lost.
The restructuring proposal currently discussed with the creditors include conversion of a significant amount of debt to equity and soft terms of the existing loan facilities. The dialogue with the lenders is constructive, but a refinancing solution is not yet in place.
The current standstill agreements with the lenders and bondholders mature on the 31st of May.
High unrealised currency gain on long-term debt due to a significant strengthened BRL to USD in the period. After balance date the result from movements in the FX rates have the opposite effect.
Backlog
Order intake NOK 1.3 billion in the 1st quarter. Current backlog is NOK 14.6 billion (NOK 14.2 billion), of which joint venture backlog is NOK 5.2 billion (NOK 5.5 billion).
