Global Industries backs Q1 profit views

LAFAYETTE, La., June 26 (Reuters) - Global Industries Ltd. Friday said it expected to meet analysts' consensus
forecast of its first-quarter earnings and was optimistic about fiscal 1999 as a whole.

Analysts on average estimate the company will report profit of $0.16 per share in the first quarter ending in June,
according to a First Call survey. That compares with earnings of $0.11 a share in the same quarter a year earlier.

''Although there has recently been softness in oil prices, we have not changed our expectations about our results for the
current fiscal year,'' William Dore, chairman, said in a statement.

The company provides construction services for the natural gas and oil industry.

''Our backlog of work at May 31, 1998, was approximately $175.9 million compared to $51.9 million at the same time
in the previous year,'' he added.
