Reuben Segal, CEO of ABL Group ASA ("ABL Group" or the "Company") commented:
"In all aspects the fourth quarter represented strong performance as well as
progression on the earlier quarters reported in 2022.  This strong performance
comes from our global employees' daily delivery to clients but also demonstrates
the benefits of past strategic moves, where strategic rationale is now feeding
through to enhanced results.  We expect to continue on this path.

As a result of the strong performance, we finished 2022 with a healthy net cash
position allowing the Board to recommend a further increase in the half yearly
dividend, thus rewarding shareholders who have been supportive of our strategic
moves.

As we look to 2023, I am pleased to see a positive outlook for ABL Group.  
Whilst our activity in the Maritime sector will remain relatively flat, the
continued growth of offshore wind projects and the increased expenditure on oil
& gas projects, both opex and now capex, provides confidence for 2023 and
beyond."

A presentation of the quarterly results will be held today at 08:30 CET at
SpareBank 1 Markets' office at Olav Vs gate 5, 0161 Oslo. The event will be
