Today, Cadeler has received notice of termination of the Aflandshage offshore wind project in Øresund,Denmark . Cadeler regrets the cancellation of the project - however the cancellation will not impact Cadeler's long-term financial performance, but will have a positive impact on the guidance provided for the financial year 2023. The contract awarded to Cadeler bySiemens Gamesa for the transportation and installation of 26 11MW wind turbines, set to begin in 2026, has been cancelled. The contract was originally announced by Cadeler inApril 2023 . As Cadeler has replacement projects lined up and in general operates with mutual termination fees when entering into contracts with partners, the decision will not change Cadeler's long-term financial performance and will not have a material negative impact on Cadeler's backlog, but it will impact the guidance provided for the financial year 2023 positively. In the 2023 Interim Financial Report published on29 August 2023 , Cadeler provided guidance for the financial year ending31 December 2023 that revenue was expected to be in the range betweenEUR 95 to 103 million while adjusted EBITDA was expected to be in the rangeEUR 41 to 49 million. Cadeler now increases the revenue guidance for the financial year 2023 which is expected to be betweenEUR 100 to 105 million. Due to the business combination agreement withEneti Inc. the Company is also providing guidance for adjusted EBITDA, which excludes transactional costs as defined in the 2023 Interim Financial Report, and is expected to be within the range ofEUR 47 to 52 million. EBITDA guidance has also been narrowed and is now expected to be within the range ofEUR 40 to 45 million after transactional costs. The Company estimates that approximatelyEUR 7 million of transaction costs will be incurred in 2023 in relation to the execution of the contemplated combination withEneti Inc. , which is still expected to be completed in Q4-2023. Reference is also made to the stock exchange announcement published by Cadeler on7 November 2023 , regarding launch of the share exchange offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock ofEneti Inc. In addition to this, the company estimates thatEUR 5 million in costs related to the issuance of shares connected to the exchange offer will be reflected in equity.
