[VELESTO ENERGY BERHAD：自升式钻机的平均利用率提高到86％，而去年同期为66％]

1Q20 vs 1Q19:
集团的收入为1亿7千630万令吉，比上一季度的1亿2千700万令吉高38.8％，主要是由于钻探服务部门的业绩改善。因此，该集团报告了扭亏为盈的结果；从相应季度的1,960万令吉税前亏损增加到1,770万令吉的税前利润，大幅改善了3,730万令吉。

钻井服务部门：
钻井服务部门在本季度录得收入增长39.8％至1.742亿令吉，主要是由于自升式钻机的平均利用率提高到86％，而去年同期为66％。因此，钻井服务部门的税前利润显着改善，达2640万令吉，而同期的税前亏损为950万令吉。

油田服务部门：
油田服务部门的税前亏损则从去年同期的370万令吉减少至230万令吉。

其他部门：
其他部门则录得630万令吉的税前亏损，与去年同期相当。

1Q20 vs 4Q19：
这集团的除税前盈利较高为1,770万令吉，而上个季度则为1,460万令吉，这主要是由于本季度钻井服务部门的贡献和开单效率更高。

这集团的总资产增加了1.518亿令吉或3.5％，主要是由于该期间的物业，厂房和设备增加。负债总额减少了1,870万令吉，主要是由于该期间的应付账款和借款分别减少了1,280万令吉和490万令吉。

前景：
钻井服务部门：
目前，尽管集团的七个自升式钻机中只有五个在运转，但仍在合同中。这集团一直在招标新合同，以部分缓解可能影响合同续签的潜在市场疲软。

油田服务部门：
这集团将持续监察及评估该附属公司的生存能力。

鉴于全球经济以及对石油和天然气的需求存在严重的不确定性，董事会认为，本年度的财务业绩将受到不利影响，并将弱于2019年。

[VELESTO ENERGY BERHAD: higher average jack-up rig utilisation of 86% as compared to 66% in the corresponding quarter]

1Q20 vs 1Q19:
Group revenue of RM176.3 million was 38.8% higher than the corresponding quarter’s revenue of RM127.0 million, mainly due to improved performance in the Drilling Services segment. Consequently, the Group reported a turnaround result; from a loss before tax of RM19.6 million in the corresponding quarter to RM17.7 million profit before tax, a significant improvement of RM37.3 million.

Drilling Services Segment:
Drilling Services segment registered a 39.8% increase in revenue to RM174.2 million in current quarter, mainly due to higher average jack-up rig utilisation of 86% as compared to 66% in the corresponding quarter. As a result, the Drilling Services segment registered a significant improvement to a profit before tax of RM26.4 million against the loss before tax of RM9.5 million reported in the corresponding quarter.

Oilfield Services Segment:
The Oilfield Services segment recorded a lower loss before tax of RM2.3 million against RM3.7 million in the corresponding quarter.

Others Segment:
Others segment recorded a loss before tax of RM6.3 million, which is comparable against corresponding quarter.

1Q20 vs 4Q19:
The Group posted a higher profit before taxation of RM17.7 million compared to RM14.6 million in the preceding quarter mainly due to higher contribution and invoicing efficiency from Drilling Services segment in the current quarter.

The Group’s total assets increased by RM151.8 million or 3.5% mainly due to the increase in property, plant and equipment during the period. Total liabilities reduced by RM18.7 million mainly due to reduction in payables and borrowings amounting to RM12.8 million and RM4.9 million respectively during the period.

Prospects:
Drilling Services Segment:
Currently, while only five of the Group’s seven jack-up drilling rigs are working, all are still under contract. The Group is continuously tendering for new contracts to partially mitigate potential softening of the market which may affect contract renewals.

Oilfield Services Segment:
The Group will continuously monitor and evaluate the viability of this subsidiary.

In view of the grave uncertainty in the global economy and the demand for oil and gas, the Board believes that the financial performance for the year will be adversely impacted and weaker than 2019.
