Aker Solutions ASA: Slow start to 2013 - strengthened management
29 April 2013 - Aker Solutions has decided to disclose preliminary information on its performance in the first three months of 2013 as the results considerably lag current consensus market estimates. Aker Solutions expects to report revenue of NOK 11.1 billion and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of NOK 868 million for the first quarter of 2013. The earnings were impacted by increased costs at the Ekofisk Zulu platform project as work was accelerated to ensure the platform will be transported from the Egersund yard to the Ekofisk field in mid-June
