BOURBON CORPORATION Adjusted revenues for first 9 months maintained their resilience with an increase of 6.8% to €1,103 million at current rates (-5.5% at constant rates) in a difficult offshore market
- 3rd quarter 2015 average utilization rate of over 73% (-5.7 pts versus one year ago) showed good resistance in a very weak market while average daily rates declined 11%, reflecting the lower rates negotiated with clients on long term contracts as well as reduced rates on spot contracts compared with a year ago
- Positive foreign currency impact enabled 9 months 2015 revenues to reach over €1.1 billion also helped by BOURBON's modern, standardized fleet, combined with its strong worldwide client network and local partnerships
- Revenues increased in the Americas versus the 3rd quarter 2014 while the most significant impact of the market downturn was felt in Asia, where revenues declined 27% over the same period
- Compared with the preceding quarter, adjusted revenues decreased 8.3%, impacted by stacked vessels and contracting of vessels at lower rates
