Mayday, mayday; we are sinking

In an attempt to salvage the company, further cost-cutting initiatives were announced. However, versus our estimates these have no cash impact in the next 12 months and we continue to see a restructuring need in 2018. Despite this, the company is trading at a 32% premium to NAV, and earnings towards the peak in the last cycle would be required to defend the current market cap. We are 25% below adjusted Q4 consensus EBITDA and 25% below for 2018. SELL maintained, target price lowered to NOK11 (13).
