LEADING MARINE INNOVATION &
TECHNOLOGIES
We are constantly evaluating, trialling and implementing new and evolving
technologies that enhance the safety and efficiency of our operations and reduce our
environmental impact.
Remote Operations Vessels
During 2025, we commenced a paid trial with a large global energy company using our remote operations vessel, 26m
inspection vessel. This is the first remote operations vessel of its size in Australia and will reduce crew numbers and costs.
Additionally, with reduced crew on board, we are significantly reducing safety risks of our operations, while minimising the
need for crews to spend extended periods away from their loved ones.
We will continue to explore and evaluate the development of remote operations vessels which have the potential to deliver a
range of benefits to our clients, as well as enhancing Bhagwan’s operations.
Advancing Sustainability
We are evaluating a range of initiatives to upgrade our existing vessels by incorporating green technologies designed to
improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This includes upgrading engines and systems with more efficient and
environmentally friendly alternatives, including hybrid or fully electric engine systems.

CHAIRMAN’S
ADDRESS
Dear Shareholders,
Safety & Wellbeing
On behalf of Bhagwan Marine’s Board of Directors, I am
delighted to present the Company’s Annual Report for the
2025 fiscal year (FY25).
Importantly, Bhagwan’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate
(LTIFR) was zero, improving from 0.90 in FY24. The Total
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) was 11.05,
up from 7.65. These outcomes reflect the strength of
the Company’s safety culture, supported by engaged
leadership and a sustained focus on the wellbeing of
its people, particularly those operating in remote and
challenging marine environments.
This year marked Bhagwan’s first full reporting period as
a public company, following its successful IPO in July
2024. In the short time since listing, the Company has
made significant operational progress and delivered solid
financial results, despite broader market volatility.
Throughout FY25, Bhagwan’s Board and leadership team
concentrated on three priorities: strengthening internal
capabilities; embedding financial discipline and robust
governance; and refining its strategy to deliver sustainable
earnings growth.
As always, the Company’s progress was underpinned by its
commitment to operational excellence, customer service
and safety.
Financial Performance
During FY25, Bhagwan generated record net revenue of
$283.0 million, representing a 5% increase over FY24 and
a three-year compound annual growth rate of 28%. Pro
Forma EBITDA reached $50.9 million, a 23% uplift from
the previous year and a three-year CAGR of 33%. EBITDA
margins increased to 18%, up from 15% in FY24.
It was also pleasing to declare the Company’s maiden
fully franked dividend of 0.5 cps, reflecting confidence in
Bhagwan’s financial strength and outlook.
18
Growth Strategy
Acknowledgements
Bhagwan’s immediate focus remains on strengthening
its diverse core business and pursuing opportunities in
emerging growth markets, including the decommissioning,
offshore wind and defence sectors. In parallel, the Company
is exploring targeted, value-enhancing acquisitions to
further expand its national presence. Bhagwan’s approach
to mergers and acquisitions prioritises fleet capability and
operational fit, reflecting a disciplined and deliberate growth
strategy.
I sincerely thank Loui, Kerren and the entire Leadership Team
for their outstanding stewardship in guiding Bhagwan through
its first full year as a listed company. They have embraced
the rigours of public markets, whilst preserving the unique
culture, authenticity and professionalism, which remain
central to Bhagwan’s identity and success.
Innovation & Leading Marine Technologies
Together, this collective effort positions Bhagwan for further
success as Australia’s leading marine solutions provider.
Innovation remains central to Bhagwan’s strategy and
its broader commitment to sustainable operations. The
Company is partnering with battery and hybrid vessel
technology firms, along with other emerging solutions aimed
at reducing its environmental footprint. Trials of autonomous
vessel technology are also progressing, in collaboration with
strategic partners.
I also extend my gratitude to my fellow Board members for
their ongoing contributions and commitment, which continue
to strengthen the Company’s governance and strategic
direction.

“I am immensely proud of
our teams and all we have
achieved during FY25.”
LOUI KANNIKOSKI – MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO
MANAGING DIRECTOR &
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Dear Shareholders,
FY25 Review: Strengthening our Foundations
for Long-Term Success
FY25 marked a significant milestone for Bhagwan, our first
full year as a listed company. Over the past 12 months, we
focused on strengthening all parts of the business to set
ourselves up for long-term, sustainable growth.
We maintained growth across our core sectors, progressed
further expansion within new growth sectors and made
meaningful improvements to our operations, systems
and strategic capability. All of this was achieved against a
backdrop of an inflationary cost environment, oil and gas
price volatility and broader macroeconomic uncertainty,
demonstrating the strength and adaptability of our
business and our people.
For FY26, generating quality revenue alongside pricing
discipline, cost control, enhanced operational efficiencies
and procurement optimisation will remain priorities.
Operational Overview
During FY25 we remained focussed on our operations,
which span offshore energy, subsea, ports and inshore and
defence. Through disciplined execution and strong project
delivery across these core sectors, we extended key
contracts, secured new work with both existing and new
clients and delivered high-quality outcomes on complex
projects.
Notable operational highlights and achievements within
our core sectors included:
•
Completion of horizontal directional drilling support
at Australia’s largest LNG project off Barrow Island,
Western Australia
•
Support services for the Mardie Salt and Potash wharf
project in the Pilbara, Western Australia
•
Completion of subsea pipe laying support for a major
gas and condensate project off the coast of Darwin,
Northern Territory
We delivered a record Pro Forma EBITDA of $50.9 million,
an uplift of 23% on FY24 with an EBITDA margin of 18%, up
from 15% in FY24, or 17% in FY24 excluding the TVI project.
Pro Forma EBIT was $22.8 million, an uplift of 27% on $17.8
million in FY24.
•
Continuation of a five-year contract for standby
support off the Pilbara coast, Western Australia
•
Ongoing support for the Groote Eylandt wharf repair
project, Northern Territory
Cash generated from operations was $35.8 million, with
the 23% uplift reflecting higher EBITDA and lower interest
charges partially offset by high activity levels towards the
end of the financial year resulting in temporary working
capital use.
•
A six-year contract extension with the Port of
Melbourne, Victoria plus subsequent associated
works
Financial Performance
This resilience was reflected in our financial performance
for FY25. Net revenue of $283.0 million represented
an uplift of 5% on the prior year. This result includes
the significant Thevenard Island (TVI) project, which
contributed $26.4 million in FY25 compared with $65.4
million in FY24. Importantly, our core business expanded
by 26% on the prior corresponding period.
Sustaining capital expenditure was higher than in FY24
principally due to completion of the 10-year docking of our
largest vessel, the Bhagwan Dryden. Other factors included
a larger fleet along with cost inflation and lead times in the
maintenance market. Growth capital expenditure included
the acquisition of an anchor handling vessel, the Coral
Knight, to expand within the larger vessel market.
Within our growth sectors, decommissioning, offshore
wind and defence, a major milestone was the commercial
completion of the multi-year TVI project in the Northwest.
This multidisciplinary operation involved offshore teams of
approximately 180 people and the successful removal of
nine wells. It clearly demonstrated Bhagwan’s capability in
large-scale project delivery and lays a strong foundation for
future opportunities within the growing decommissioning
market.
BHAGWAN MARINE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
23
Safety Culture
We expanded our fleet services to support offshore
wind projects and commenced upgrading our facility at
the Henderson Marine Precinct to meet rising demand,
particularly from government-backed defence projects.
Concurrently, we invested in innovation, including remote
operations and the conversion of vessels to hybrid
power. This includes the commencement of our first
commercial contract using remotely operated technology
for a major global oil and gas client, as well as our first
vessel conversion to hybrid power, demonstrating our
commitment to sustainable, technology-driven growth.
Safety remains central to everything we do – it is not an
area we ‘set and forget’. In FY25, we achieved two key safety
highlights that underscore our strong safety culture:
•
Achieving an LTIFR of zero, down from 0.90 in FY24
•
Completion of over 850,000 offshore working hours
without a lost-time injury during the major TVI project,
an outstanding reflection of our team’s care for one
another and focus on safe execution
As reported with our FY24 results, we welcomed Daniel
Shields to lead our QHSE function. A key aspect of Daniel’s
role is the implementation of a new Safety Improvement
Plan across the business.
During the year we were also pleased to welcome Mark
Annand as our Chief Operational Officer. Mark shares the
importance we place on safety and is tasked with driving
efficient operations and supporting growth across both our
core and new sectors.
24
Looking Ahead
My Thanks to a Talented Team
During FY26, our focus is on four priorities:
I am immensely proud of our teams and all we have
achieved during FY25. I also extend my sincere appreciation
to our Board members for their ongoing guidance, support
and strategic leadership. Their contributions have been
invaluable in helping us navigate our first year as a listed
company and establish strong foundations for future
growth.
1.
Market penetration and technology development
within our core sectors
2.
Further market development within our new growth
sectors
3.
Continued margin expansion
4.
Refinement of our strategy and systems as we mature
as an ASX-listed company
As always, we will pursue these priorities without losing
sight of safety, operational excellence for our customers
and our unique company culture.
While short-term macroeconomic uncertainty is likely
to continue, the medium-term outlook for pricing and
utilisation across our sectors remains positive. With a solid
operational base and momentum across multiple markets,
we are ready to take on the opportunities ahead.
Together, we remain confident in our ability to continue our
steady progress in FY26, while building a stronger and more
resilient business. As a leading marine solutions provider
with facilities at key marine hubs across the country,
supported by a diverse multi-functional fleet and a team of
quality people, we are well equipped to create lasting value
for our customers and shareholders.
