Financials

Historical Financials

The table below shows revenue, EBIT and other financials for the previous 5 years. Revenue has shown an overall decline over the previous five years. The steep decline in 2020 was due to the global coronavirus pandemic. The jump in earnings from 2020 to 2021 and 2022 is due to the global volatility in oil prices as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. NCWC is non-cash working capital, and is calculated to be used in the DCF valuation below.
