BOURBON’s 2018 results reflect the 4th year of our industry's cyclical downturn. However, for the first time since 2014, our utilization rates and daily rates have stabilized over the last three quarters, showing the gradual recovery in our customers' activity. We generated positive free cash flow of slightly over €100 million, reflecting the continued efforts of our teams to manage costs. Today, we are focusing on implementing our strategic action plan #BOURBONINMOTION in order to regain room for maneuver through the development of new services, a drastic G&A reduction plan and the transformation of our operational models via our Smart Shipping program", announced Gaël Bodénès, Chief Executive Officer of BOURBON Corporation.
