Market Positioning: Maintained 60% of the contracted floating rig market with ROV contracts on 81 of 136 floating rigs under contract.
Subsea Robotics (SSR): Concerns over offshore activity levels and potential shift in utilization to lower-priced regions, which could impact revenue and margins. Additionally, potential cold stacking of a survey vessel if new opportunities fail to materialize.
Manufactured Products: Muted bookings in the first half of 2025 and reliance on concentrated order intake in the second half, which could pose risks to meeting full-year book-to-bill guidance.
Offshore Projects Group (OPG): Shift in activity from higher-margin intervention projects to lower-margin IMR work in the U.S. Gulf, potentially impacting profitability in the second half of 2025.
Integrity Management and Digital Solutions (IMDS): Integration of Global Design Innovation (GDi) and pilot projects could face challenges, potentially delaying expected improvements.
Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech): Dependence on large defense contracts and seasonal offshore operations, which could be impacted by delays or changes in government funding or project timelines.
Subsea Robotics (SSR): Anticipates continued tendering activity supportive of ROV utilization and pricing assumptions into the second half of 2025 and 2026. Expects more decommissioning opportunities in Europe to offset lower rig support activity. Strong performance in ROV Tooling business expected to continue.
