EBITDA margin for the quarter was 9.6 percent, or 7.7 percent excluding net

the secured backlog at the end of the quarter stood at NOK 69.3 billion.
The net cash position increased to NOK 5.8 billion in the quarter, including
investments in liquid funds. Working capital improved by NOK 677 million, while
CAPEX was NOK 67 million. Aker Solutions received NOK 137 million in quarterly
dividends from SLB OneSubsea during the period.
Operationally, Aker Solutions met several important milestones in its project
portfolio, including the sail-away of Aker BP's Valhall PWP and Hugin B topside
platforms. In addition, the Life Cycle segment delivered strong operational
performance across their portfolio of frame agreements and modification
projects.
SLB OneSubsea, where Aker Solutions owns 20 percent, also delivered improved
financial results. Revenue was USD 1.1 billion, an increase of 12 percent
compared to the same period last year. The underlying EBITDA margin in the
quarter was 18.5 percent. SLB OneSubsea is on track to deliver on its order
intake ambitions, positioning the company for growth from 2027 onwards. Based on
its robust financial position, SLB OneSubsea is expected to distribute dividends
of around USD 400 million to its shareholders in 2026, in line with full-year
distribution in 2025.

billion, with an EBITDA margin between 7.0 and 8.0 percent excluding net profit

and align capacity with the lower activity expected in 2027, while improving
competitiveness.
