Significant Growth for SBM Offshore in 2025 Earnings

Amsterdam - SBM Offshore has delivered compelling performance in its half-year earnings, showcasing impressive revenue growth and profitability. The company has increased its full-year 2025 directional revenue guidance from over US$4.9 billion to exceeding US$5.0 billion, reflecting a robust market position and operational efficiency.

Highlights of Financial Performance

Noteworthy highlights include an upward revision of the directional EBITDA guidance, now anticipated to surpass US$1.6 billion, up from around US$1.55 billion. Year-to-date, SBM Offshore reported a 26% increase in revenue to US$2.3 billion, and a 10% jump in EBITDA to US$682 million. This reflects successful project execution and operational improvements.

Operational Milestones

SBM Offshore successfully commenced production for two floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels, the Almirante Tamandaré and the Alexandre de Gusmão. Additionally, they are preparing for first oil from the FPSO ONE GUYANA, which is poised to become the largest producing unit in Guyana.

New Contracts and Fleet Expansion

The company signed an operations and maintenance contract for the FPSO GranMorgu with TotalEnergies, marking a significant step in their operational expansion. Furthermore, SBM Offshore is engaging in strategic portfolio rationalization, evidenced by the sale of FPSO Aseng. With these accomplishments, their fleet has grown, now totaling 17 FPSOs contributing to a production capacity of 2.7 million barrels per day.

Financial Overview and Shareholder Returns

In the first half of 2025, the directional net profit reached US$274 million, translating to US$1.57 per share, a substantial increase from the previous year's figures of US$128 million, or US$0.71 per share. This demonstrates SBM Offshore's commitment to enhancing shareholder value, illustrated by the EUR150 million dividend paid and a EUR141 million share repurchase program that is currently 34% completed.

Strategic Innovations

SBM Offshore continues to innovate within the industry, working towards a near-zero emission FPSO, receiving advanced principles approval from the American Bureau of Shipping. Their collaboration with major technology firms aims to better integrate carbon capture technologies into their operations.

Funding and Debt Management

The company's directional net debt as of June 30, 2025, was US$5.6 billion, slightly down from US$5.7 billion at the end of 2024. This financial prudence is supported by strong operational cash flow from both turnkey and lease segments, with additional financing secured through project finance facilities for various FPSOs.

Market Outlook and Future Guidance

The outlook for the deepwater market remains positive, with growing demand for efficient and low-emission energy production driving the strategic direction of SBM Offshore. The company aims to provide returns of at least US$1.7 billion to shareholders over the next six years while maintaining resilient operations that withstand economic pressures. With the adjusted 2025 revenue guidance, around US$2.2 billion is expected from the lease and operate segment, and about US$2.8 billion from the turnkey segment.
