Forward guidance

The company expects stronger results in the second half of 2022 but does not anticipate meeting full year expectations due to issues encountered in the first half of the year. The outlook for Great Lakes remains strong with increased market demand and government support.

Tailwinds

  • Market demand is increasing.
  • There is strong government support for dredging projects.
  • New LNG export facilities are expected to benefit Great Lakes.
  • The new build program is on schedule, with the Galveston Island expected to be ready for operations in the first half of 2023 and her sister ship expected to be ready for operations in 2025.
  • Great Lakes' entry into the U.S. offshore wind market is solidified by a major project award.

Headwinds

  • Second quarter results did not meet expectations.
  • The company continues to face a challenging environment driven by external factors including supply chain delays.
  • The company continues to face a challenging environment driven by inflationary pressures.
  • The company continues to face a challenging environment driven by adverse weather conditions.
  • Bids for new dredge projects did not materialize as early as in previous years, resulting in idle time for two dredges for part of the quarter.
