The Net Asset Value ("NAV") of Aker ASA and holding companies ("Aker") was NOK
61.9 billion at the end of the first quarter 2025, compared to NOK 58.2 billion
at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. Aker's Annual General Meeting has
approved a dividend of NOK 26.50 per share to be paid in May 2025.

"While our Q1 results reflect a strong start to the year, the world has shifted
significantly since the quarter closed. The emergence of a global trade conflict
has introduced new uncertainty into the global economy, with implications that
continue to evolve. In parallel, we have announced important portfolio actions
designed to address specific challenges and enhance our long-term positioning.
Against this backdrop, our quarterly performance may feel like a snapshot from a
different time. However, it is precisely during times of volatility that Aker's
strengths come to bear and enable us to continue to deliver value and capitalize
on emerging opportunities," said Øyvind Eriksen, President and CEO of Aker ASA.

"Partnerships remain key. Collaborations with companies like SLB and other
global players help us unlock new opportunities. These partnerships are built on
trust in Aker's ability to combine industrial expertise with financial strength.
By taking decisive action in Aker Horizons, as announced this morning, we are
committing Aker's full resources to support existing collaborations and pursue
future opportunities - reducing uncertainty and creating a stronger foundation
for long-term value creation."

At the time of results publication, Aker also announced transactions with Aker
Horizons and Aker Carbon Capture, respectively. Please see the company
announcements for additional information on the transaction elements.
