Reference is made to the separate stock exchange notice today regarding a logistic contract award with Equinor.

In order to fulfil this strategically important and demanding contract, the allocation of a Schiebel Camcopter system intended to support our Brazilian opportunities has been rescheduled. The allocation to Brazil was announced in our third quarter report and with an expectation of sales revenue in 2021.

The company still expects to carry out work in Brazil through a joint venture with operational revenue effect at the earliest from the second quarter 2022. To ensure capacity for the Brazilian operation and future growth, the procurement negotiations of Nordic Unmanned’s fourth Schiebel S-100 CAMCOPTER system will be initiated.

The deliberately postponed system sale will impact the balance sheet, revenues and earnings in 2021, and consequently Nordic Unmanned will not achieve its previously stated financial guidance. Revenue for 2021 is expected to be slightly above NOK 100 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin will be lower than previously indicated. The system held for sale with an inventory value of NOK 44.6 million at the end of the third quarter 2021, will be reclassified as a fixed asset as per year end. 

“We continue to have strong underlying momentum in our business. In this case, we have chosen to prioritize our long-term development over short-term revenue. The outlook for Nordic Unmanned remains very positive, and we are entering 2022 with an exciting backlog, hence placing us at an almost sold-out situation for the first half of the year,” said Knut Roar Wiig.
