The company says revenue rises 12% to USD188.1 million from USD167.5 million, while pretax profit falls to USD35.8 million from USD43.2 million. Gulf Marine adds that escalating conflict in the Gulf region is increasing volatility in oil and gas markets and causing disruptions to offshore operations, including a customer's force majeure declaration. As a result, the group says its previously guided USD105 million to USD115 million adjusted Ebitda range for 2026 is now under assessment. Despite the uncertainty, the company notes improved day rates and a strong backlog, but cautions that the evolving geopolitical situation creates significant uncertainty over its operational and financial outlook.
