About Aker Horizons

Aker Horizons, as part of the Aker group, develops green energy and green industry to accelerate the transition to Net Zero.

On 9 May 2025, Aker Horizons announced a proposed merger of its subsidiary Aker Horizons Holding with a subsidiary of Aker ASA. Aker Horizons Holding encompasses all business activities of the Aker Horizons group. The Aker Horizons merger is expected to be completed in August 2025.

Key events H1 2025

In the first half of 2025, Aker Horizons reached important milestones in its portfolio companies and announced structural changes to the group.

Merger with a subsidiary of Aker ASA

On 9 May 2025, Aker Horizons ASA (AKH) announced a merger of its subsidiary Aker Horizons Holding with a subsidiary of Aker ASA. Aker Horizons Holding encompasses all business activities of the Aker Horizons group, including its shareholding in Aker Carbon Capture ASA (ACC), the investments in Mainstream Renewable Power and SuperNode, and the properties in Narvik. On the same day, ACC announced the sale of its 20 percent ownership interest in SLB Capturi to a subsidiary of Aker ASA. The independent transactions are the outcome of a comprehensive strategic review of alternatives for a refinancing of Aker Horizons. The ACC transaction closed on 14 May 2025. The Aker Horizons merger is expected to be completed during August 2025.

Later in May, AKH redeemed 100% of its NOK 2.5 billion Green Bond at a call price of 100.37 percent of par plus accrued unpaid interest, and cancelled its EUR 500 million undrawn Revolving Credit Facility.

The merger entails the transfer of all assets and liabilities of Aker Horizons Holding, classified as held-for-sale in the H1 2025 report, while Aker Horizons ASA will have a cash position of approximately NOK 20 million, a convertible bond loan and a corresponding receivable from Aker Horizons Holding of NOK 1.6 billion. Aker Horizons ASA will remain listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Board will work on defining AKH's future strategy and structure following completion of the merger and will revert with an update once the Board has concluded in this respect.

Aker Carbon Capture

In January 2025, Aker Carbon Capture announced that SLB Capturi, in collaboration with Aker Solutions, was awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract from Hafslund Celsio AS to deliver a carbon capture solution at their waste-to-energy facility at Klemetsrud, Norway. SLB Capturi has also completed commissioning and handed over its first modular carbon capture plant at Twence's waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands.

In February, the Board of Directors of Aker Carbon Capture proposed an extraordinary cash dividend of NOK 3.5 billion, of which Aker Horizons' share was approximately NOK 1.5 billion, based on its 43.27 percent ownership in Aker Carbon Capture. The dividend proposal was subsequently approved by an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) in Aker Carbon Capture in March.

In May, a subsidiary of Aker ASA acquired ACC's 20 percent ownership interest in SLB Capturi for a cash consideration of NOK 635 million. Following completion of the sale, the Board of Directors of ACC proposed a dividend payment of approximately NOK 1.7 billion, which was subsequently approved by the EGM in June and settled the same month.

The Board of Directors of ACC ASA will propose to ACC's shareholders that the company be liquidated, with any remaining cash distributed to shareholders as liquidation dividends. An extraordinary general meeting to consider these matters is expected to be called for within Q3 2025.

Mainstream Renewable Power

In February 2025, Mainstream Renewable Power (Mainstream) announced the appointment of Morten Henriksen as Group CEO, effective 1 April 2025, and the relocation of corporate headquarters from Dublin to Oslo.

In April, Mainstream's main shareholders, Aker Horizons and Mitsui, and DNB agreed new funding arrangements for Mainstream. These included extensions to the existing corporate facility with DNB for letters of credit and conversion of the external loan with DNB to a shareholder loan. New funding has also been agreed, comprising a shareholder loan facility provided pro-rata by Aker Horizons and Mitsui, and a letter of credit facility with DNB backed pro-rata by Aker Horizons and Mitsui. The new funding enables Mainstream to deliver on its updated and more focused strategy, concentrating on developing its pipeline of projects primarily in core markets where it sees the greatest potential for value creation, and creating value through strong project execution, a lean cost base and capital efficiency.

Also in April, Mainstream sold its 675 MW portfolio of wind and solar assets under development in Colombia to Celsia, a local energy company, part of the Argos Group. The assets, which Mainstream had been developing since 2019, comprised three solar projects and two wind projects. The divestment marks Mainstream's exit from the Colombian market.

Given the continued challenges facing the offshore wind sector globally, including supply chain risks and regulatory and political uncertainty, Mainstream has reviewed the viability of its offshore wind portfolio. Consequently, during the first half of 2025 Mainstream accelerated its efforts to exit projects where this is deemed commercially beneficial.

Aker Horizons Half-Year Report 2025

Aker Horizons Asset Development

Aker Horizons Asset Development (AAD) divested its Rjukan project to Norwegian Hydrogen in Q1 2025.

On the back of slower-than-expected market development resulting from global instability and the lack of supportive government policies for large-scale green hydrogen projects, AAD decided in June to also stop the development of the Narvik Green Ammonia (NGA) project. Key partners and potential investors had withdrawn from the project, the allocated grid capacity of 250 MW was insufficient to make the project economically viable, and allocation of additional grid capacity for the project was uncertain.

The Aker group will shift its focus in Narvik towards realizing data center opportunities, benefiting from access to a portfolio of strategically located sites well suited for developing energy-intensive and sustainable industrial assets in Northern Norway. Northern Norway is emerging as an attractive location for data center investments due to its availability of renewable, base-load hydropower and naturally cold climate, which enhances energy efficiency. Development of the powered land sites in Narvik, originally part of Aker Horizons' green industry strategy, has evolved into an "AI Factory" initiative under the name Aaktik Digital, and the surging demand for AI infrastructure offers significant value creation opportunities.

SuperNode

In the first quarter of 2025, SuperNode completed its initial full-scale testing of its superconducting cable technology. A prototype of a fullscale superconducting system was tested successfully in the company's own facility in March. A demonstration with a 30 meters transmission distance was conducted in June.

Also in June, SuperNode signed a Memorandum of Understanding with South Korean Taihan Cable & Solution Co. to jointly develop the next generation of superconducting cable technologies. The partnership will include collaboration on design and manufacturing while improving efficiency and ease of installation compared to the first generation of superconducting cables.

Share, financials and risks

The Aker Horizons share

The company's share price fell in the first half of 2025 from NOK 2.37 to NOK 1.49 on 30 June. The market capitalization at 30 June was NOK 1.0 billion. As per 30 June 2025, the total number of issued shares in Aker Horizons amounted to 690,348,751 shares. As per the same date, Aker Horizons did not hold any own shares.

Financials

Aker Horizons' consolidated accounts are presented from page 8 onwards. As a result of the proposed merger of its subsidiary Aker Horizons Holding with a subsidiary of Aker ASA, the business that will be transferred in the merger is presented as discontinued operations and held-for-sale in the 1H 2025 report. See note 4 Discontinued operations and held-for-sale assets and liabilities for more information about the business to be transferred.

Risks and uncertainty

Aker Horizons is exposed to financial risk, in addition to strategic, market and regulatory risk, legal and compliance risks, climate risk, and project and operational risks in the portfolio companies. In addition, there are risks related to the merger of Aker Horizons' subsidiary Aker Horizons Holding with Aker MergerCo, a subsidiary of Aker ASA, which was announced on 9 May 2025, and the situation of Aker Horizons after the merger.

Risk in the portfolio

Aker Horizons and its portfolio companies depend on functioning debt and equity markets to refinance debt, fund operations and growth in the portfolio, and bring projects to financial close. In Mainstream, there is risk associated with refinancing and funding of operations, capital intensive projects and future growth, including the company's ability to farm down and divest assets at attractive terms and thereby recycle capital.

Mainstream undertakes large and complex projects, including in emerging economies, which are exposed to project execution risk, dependence on key suppliers and sub-suppliers, as well as marketspecific risks related to market design, grid infrastructure and permitting. Mainstream continues to be exposed to such risks namely in Chile. There is also high uncertainty pertaining to the viability of investments in offshore floating wind projects.

Merger and merger completion risk

Following the announced merger, the business activities of the Aker Horizons group, including its shareholding in Aker Carbon Capture ASA and SuperNode, the investments in Mainstream Renewable Power, and the properties in Narvik, will no longer be part of Aker Horizons. Hence, after the merger, which is currently expected to be completed in August 2025, Aker Horizons will no longer be exposed to the risks related to the portfolio companies.

The merger is the result of a comprehensive strategic review of alternatives for a refinancing of Aker Horizons. Therefore, Aker Horizons' financing risk, including refinancing of debt maturities in 2026, is directly linked to the successful completion of the proposed merger. Completion of the merger is subject to a limited number of conditions remaining to be fulfilled, including third party notifications and consents, and other customary closing conditions.

Risks post merger

After completion of the merger, Aker Horizons will have a cash position of approximately NOK 20 million, convertible debt and a corresponding receivable from Aker MergerCo of NOK 1.6 billion, and remain listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Board will work on defining Aker Horizons' future strategy and structure following completion of the merger.

Financial risk of Aker Horizons going forward is primarily related to MergerCo's ability to fulfill its commitments related to the convertible bond. Additionally, Aker Horizons retains funding for its remaining operations for a limited period time only, and there is risk associated with potential new funding requirements.

There is also significant uncertainty related to the Company's future strategy and consequently, risk in respect of the continued listing of the Company.

Note 2 Basis for preparation

Aker Horizons' condensed financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with Aker Horizons' Annual and Sustainability Report 2024. The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the group's consolidated financial statements as for the year ended 31 December 2024, available at www.akerhorizons.com.

As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

Note 3 Judgements, estimates and assumptions

In applying the accounting policies, management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revision to accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
