Key questions unanswered

Q2 EBITDA was USD24.4m (8% above our estimate, 6% above consensus), offset by higher interest costs and FX, resulting in EPS below expectations. Tender activity is soft and with key questions regarding yard cases and the TSV still unanswered, we consider the report neutral to slightly negative. However, increased uncertainty for the TSV does raise the risk related to 2018–2019 consensus.
