As advised earlier at the AGM, the full year 2019 results are expected to be below 2018 results with an expectation of reaching higher levels in 2020. Due to the global tightening in the gas turbine market, core business opportunities for Baltec IES are on a downtrend. The decline has further resulted in escalated competition and reduced margins. The management of Baltec have implemented various strategic initiatives to diversify the revenue base through tapping new markets, escalating focus on repairs, maintaining after-market sales.
Tomlinson Energy Services continue to deliver solid performances considering the circumstances arising from the RCR Tomlinson administration process. All the stakeholders have shown strong support for this new business. However, due to some months of slow activity during administration, it has impacted the result of Tomlinson Energy Services. The service division continues to be in line with expectations and EGL expects the positive reversal in results in the first half of the 2020 financial year.
