Financial Report 1st quarter for DOF ASA
The impact of the COVID-19 virus and the sharp fall in the oil price have resulted in postponement and cancellation of several projects and tenders and disrupted the Group’s operations and earnings going forward. Several clients have terminated contracts and initiated renegotiations in rates in existing contracts which again have caused pressure on earnings and utilisation of the Group’s assets. Due to significant weaker markets the Group has recognised an impairment of NOK 1.5 billion (management reporting) in the first quarter. The Group has further faced a currency loss of NOK 2.9
