OSLO, Norway, Feb. 14, 2025 — Aker ASA’s Net Asset Value (NAV) concluded at NOK 58.2 billion at the close of the fourth quarter 2024, post-dividend distribution, compared to NOK 57.0 billion at the end of Q3. Aker disbursed a NOK 2.6 billion dividend during the quarter. The Aker Board of Directors proposes a NOK 26.50 per share cash dividend for fiscal year 2024, and, following past practice, will suggest authorization for an additional cash dividend in the latter half of 2025.
“2024 was a busy year for Aker’s portfolio companies. Strong project execution and several significant transactions generated over NOK 32 billion in dividends distributed to Aker and fellow shareholders. This high level of activity reflects our strategy of maintaining a streamlined and focused portfolio with substantial potential for increased upstream cash flow,” stated Øyvind Eriksen, President and CEO of Aker ASA.
“Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate a complex macroeconomic environment with inherent political and economic uncertainties. I’m pleased with the strong performance of core portfolio segments and the disciplined development of new opportunities. By leveraging our strengths – enduring partnerships, transactional expertise, financial strength, and flexibility – I’m confident Aker will continue to deliver shareholder value,” said Eriksen.
