Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 saw strong operational execution and production met guidance, but financials were impacted by underlift and impairments from lower prices. 2027 guidance was raised, with production expected to rise over 20% and CapEx to fall nearly 30%, driven by Bestla.
-
Strong production efficiency and exploration success offset planned downtime, but $151 million in impairments led to a net loss of $37 million. Guidance for 2025 production was raised, CapEx remains on track, and liquidity is strong, with no dividend planned during the current investment phase.
-
Strong operational performance delivered high production at the upper end of guidance, despite lower petroleum prices and a technical goodwill impairment leading to a net loss. New wells and projects have increased future production guidance, while refinancing has strengthened liquidity.
-
The meeting approved all agenda items, including financial statements, board and committee elections, and authorizations for dividends, share issuance, and treasury share acquisition. Over half of the share capital was represented, and all proposals passed with sufficient majority.
-
Strong operational and financial performance with $21M net profit, $367M cash, and key projects (Bestla, Draugen Power from Shore) on track. Production guidance and CapEx unchanged; no dividend planned due to heavy investments.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 2024 delivered strong operational and financial results, with production exceeding guidance and major projects progressing on schedule.

-
Strong operational and financial performance was achieved despite planned maintenance, with significant asset optimization, a major asset sale, and robust liquidity. Production guidance was narrowed, CapEx revised, and new exploration wells are set to drive future growth.

Q2 saw strong operational and financial performance, with production at the high end of guidance and key projects progressing on schedule. Liquidity was bolstered by a new bond issue, while impairments and high CapEx were notable. Dividend resumption and M&A remain strategic priorities.
