據7月22日Offshore Energy消息：海洋地震運營商Polarcus在2020年第二季度虧損嚴重，收入同比下降近66%。

這家在奧斯陸上市的公司報告稱，2020年第二季度虧損2070萬美元，而2019年第二季度虧損60萬美元。

Polarcus的季度收入為2210萬美元，低于去年同期的6480萬美元。收入下降的主要原因是專有合同收入減少以及多客戶收入和其他收入減少。

專有合同收入從去年同期的4,760萬美元減少至1,550萬美元。

Polarcus的息稅前利潤為負510萬美元，上年同期為1,600萬美元。

該季度，公司計入200萬美元的非經常性重組成本，這些成本與2020年6月宣布的組織重組有關。

上半年，Polarcus凈虧損2500萬美元，收入為7,740萬美元，而去年同期虧損470萬美元，收入為1.4億美元。

截至2020年6月30日的季度，船舶利用率為50%，而2019年第二季度為72%。

此外，與去年相比，Polarcus積壓資金有所減少，目前約為1.41億美元。

Polarcus表示，未來將實施業務連續性舉措和降低成本措施，以應對當前市場的不確定性。這包括2020年下半年進一步減少現役船只的數量。

Red quarter for Polarcus as revenues sink

During the quarter, the company booked $2.0 million non-recurring restructuring costs associated with the organization reshape announced in June 2020.

For the first six months, Polarcus recognised net loss of $25 million on revenues of $77.4 million, compared to $4.7 million loss and revenues of $140 million in the prior-year comparable period.

Vessel utilization for the quarter ended 30 June 2020 was 50 per cent, versus 72 per cent in Q2 2019.

In addition, Polarcus backlog took a hit compared to last year and now stands at about $141 million.
