Oslo, 10 July 2025: BlueNord ASA ("BlueNord" or the "Company") today published

production, continued progress and significant increased contribution from the
Tyra hub and a strong liquidity position of USD 718 million. In addition,
BlueNord is proposing a cash dividend of USD 49 million for Q2 2025, bringing
the total distributions to USD 302 million.

· EBITDA of USD 133 million, 66% higher than previous quarter
· Operating Cash Flow of USD 70 million for the quarter
· BNOR15 successfully refinanced with USD 300 million BNOR17, removing future
equity dilution for shareholders

· Proposed cash dividend of USD 49 million for Q2 2025
Operational
Dan, Gorm and Halfdan continued their stable and reliable production performance
and delivered within guidance. The Tyra ramp-up is progressing well, having
reached a peak production rate of c.28 mboe/d net to BlueNord, and the hub is
now contributing significantly to the Company's financial results. During the
quarter, the Tyra Completion Test under the Reserve Based Lending facility was
successfully met. Reservoir performance remains strong, and the focus remains
on ensuring stable operations and improving operational efficiency.
Financial
Stable production from the base assets continued to support strong financial
performance, while the contribution from the Tyra hub increased significantly
quarter-on-quarter. With the Tyra Completion Test met, the Company paid its
first cash distribution to shareholders of USD 203 million on 4 July 2025, and
will launch a share buyback programme of up to USD 50 million early next week.
In addition, the Company successfully refinanced the BNOR15 convertible bond
with a new USD 300 million hybrid bond issue, eliminating potential future
equity dilution and enhancing shareholder value.
"The second quarter of 2025 has been pivotal for BlueNord: not only have we made
significant progress in delivering the full value of the Tyra hub, we also
declared our first distribution and refinanced an instrument to eliminate
significant potential equity dilution. As Tyra continues to move towards
operating at steady-state levels, our production has increased more than 90%
quarter-on-quarter and the hub is driving significant increases in profitability
and cash flow. Our strategy remains clear: maximise cash flow from our
producing asset base and return a substantial portion of that to shareholders.
Backed by a robust capital structure, a low-cost production profile, and a long
horizon for further investment, BlueNord continues to be well positioned to
deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders," said Euan Shirlaw, Chief
Executive Officer of BlueNord.
