DOF Group (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Acquiring Maersk Supply Service

DOF has entered into an agreement to acquire Maersk Supply Service (MSS) for cash and shares. The transaction would add 13 AHTS vessels, eight CSVs and one cable layer, making DOF the largest owner of CSVs and large AHTS vessels. According to DOF’s investor presentation, the transaction EV is cUSD1bn, implying a 0.79x EV/GAV (DOF pre-transaction 1.06x), based on broker values, and a 2.7x–3.2x EV/MtM EBITDA excluding the 11 smaller vessels (DOF pre-transaction 4.8x on 2026e). Due to DNB Markets’ role in the private placement and subsequent offering, we have withdrawn our estimates, target price and recommendation.
