01. THIRD QUARTER UPDATE

The market situation for the oil services industry deteriorated further during the third quarter, contributing towards mixed performance across Akastor's portfolio of companies. MHWirth has been most acutely impacted by the current weak market as reflected in its low order intake and reduced earnings recently. The majority of the other portfolio companies have experienced satisfactory operational and financial performance during the quarter. All of Akastor's portfolio companies are focusing on making adjustments to the market situation, including cost and capacity reductions as well as exploring strategic initiatives to strengthen each company's competitive position during this downturn. The working capital for Akastor has been reduced somewhat, but remains at a high level.

Akastor CEO Kristian Røkke comments:

The business environment affecting Akastor's portfolio companies remains challenging and is expected to weaken further over the coming quarters. We are intensely focused on adjusting each portfolio company's cost base, while preserving organizational capabilities and delivering increased value to customers. Our specialized businesses will be ready for market activity growth when that time comes.

It has been an exciting first few months as Akastor's new CEO and a privilege to engage with the organization's talented personnel. While many signs point toward a prolonged downturn in the offshore and oil service sectors, we are dealing decisively with today's fundamental business realities to both ensure profitability at lower activity levels and to build a stronger Akastor for the long-term.

Results from the Companies

Aggregated revenues for the portfolio companies in the quarter were NOK 3 678 million, down 28 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The decrease was due to lower activity and weaker market conditions in the oil service industry in general, and the offshore drilling market in particular. Aggregated EBITDA in the quarter was negative NOK 169 million, which included NOK 153 million in restructuring costs and a NOK 173 million charge stemming from provisions related to onerous real estate leases due to a weaker leasing market for subleasing in regions such as Stavanger, Aberdeen and Houston. Hedge transactions not qualifying for hedge accounting had a negative effect of NOK 20 million on the EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for 3Q was NOK 177 million.

Financial Situation

The liquidity reserve for Akastor at the end of the third quarter was approximately NOK 1.6 billion, with cash and bank deposits of NOK 1 088 million and undrawn committed credit facilities of NOK 500 million. The working capital level of NOK 3.0 billion has remained relatively stable in the third quarter.

Cost Improvement Initiatives

Given the current situation in the oil and energy markets, Akastor is working to ensure that each portfolio company is effectively managing the necessary changes, including accelerating cost reduction activities. The implemented reduction in workforce for all Akastor companies so far in 2015 is 20 percent, down by 1 500 employees to 6 098 at the end of September 2015.

02. UPDATE ON THE PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

Akastor has six reporting businesses: MHWirth, Frontica Business Solutions, AKOFS Offshore, Fjords Processing, KOP Surface Products and Real Estate & other holdings.

MHWirth

The current down cycle in the offshore drilling market continued through the quarter with further decreases in both floater utilization rates and day-rates due to a continued oversupply of floaters. Floater utilization fell to approximately 78 percent for the active fleet, and 70 percent when including the passive fleet, despite high levels of scrapping so far in the current down cycle. No newbuild orders for high-end floaters have been placed so far this year and a number of owners have canceled newbuilds under construction.

These market conditions have resulted in a revenue drop for MHWirth of 35 percent year to date, as compared to the same period last year. In response, MHWirth has throughout 2015 adjusted organizational capacity and has announced personnel reductions of approximately 1 800 people, corresponding to a reduction of 42 percent compared to year-end 2014. The financial impact of these reductions is expected to amount to around NOK 1 400 million with restructuring costs of NOK 60 million recognized in the first half of 2015 and NOK 142 million in the third quarter. MHWirth will continue to make necessary adjustments to its cost base in accordance with market conditions to ensure profitability of the company at lower activity levels.

Revenue was NOK 1 422 million in the third quarter, down 42 percent compared to third quarter last year. This was mainly driven by reduced revenue on large projects due to lack of order intake and backlog phasing. EBITDA in the third quarter of 2015 was negative NOK 184 million, including the restructuring costs of NOK 142 million, of which NOK 84 million was provision for office leases that will not be used going forward. Drilling Lifecycle Services delivered strong results during the quarter driven by a high level of spare parts sales to operating rigs and supply chain improvements.

MPO, a business delivering equipment for managed pressure drilling that was acquired in 2013, had a negative EBITDA in the quarter of approximately NOK 102 million. Financial performance has been challenging due to current industry conditions. MHWirth is currently evaluating strategic alternatives for MPO.

The working capital level (NCOA) of MHWirth remained stable, albeit at a high level, at NOK 3.3 billion in the quarter, and is still impacted by delayed deliveries and delayed payments from customers on some larger projects. Order intake in the third quarter was NOK 692 million.

A significant portion of MHWirth's backlog is for delivery of seven drilling packages to Jurong Shipyard in Singapore, for operations in Brazil. Due to the financial uncertainty of Jurong's client, Sete Brazil, the reduced pace of progress will continue until a conclusion is reached on the Brazil situation. This situation continues to impact MHWirth's working capital.

MHWirth does not see signs that indicate a market recovery in the foreseeable future and has therefore assumed in its operational plans, which will be continuously monitored, that no new high-end floaters will be ordered in 2016 and 2017. The number of active rigs with MHWirth equipment in operation has declined during 2015, and as a result, the activity in upgrades and modifications is expected to decline during 2016. Thus, revenues from Drilling Lifecycle Services are expected to drop somewhat going forward.

Frontica

Frontica had revenues of NOK 1 145 million in the quarter, down from NOK 1 366 million in the previous year. EBITDA ended at NOK 74 million, with an EBITDA margin of 6.5 percent, up from 5.6 percent in third quarter last year, primarily driven by effects of the capacity adjustment within Business Solutions carried through earlier this year. The booked order intake in the quarter of NOK 1 088 million reflects adjustments to expected volume from existing contracts in the coming 12 months. During the third quarter, Frontica improved its net current operating assets by NOK 128 million compared to 2Q 2015, primarily driven by the establishment of a factoring agreement in the UK.

The revenue drop compared to the same period in 2014 is a result of lower activity level among Frontica's key clients stemming from the slow-down in the oil services market. Frontica expects this development to continue over the coming quarters. However, Frontica continues to see opportunities emerging from a continuing trend of outsourcing among potential clients and an increased focus on reducing costs. The company is continuing its efforts to optimize its cost base and streamline service offerings in order to strengthen its competitive position.

AKOFS Offshore

Revenue in AKOFS Offshore was NOK 229 million in the third quarter compared to NOK 279 million a year earlier. AKOFS Offshore had two vessels in operations, both performing well with stable operations, and one vessel with no activity during the quarter. The EBITDA result for AKOFS Offshore was NOK 51 million in the quarter. Order intake was NOK 107 million, and backlog at the end of the quarter was NOK 6 395 million.

Skandi Santos continued to build on its strong track record in Brazil and operated at close to full utilization throughout the quarter.

Aker Wayfarer continued working offshore Germany at full utilization during the quarter. Following completion of the contract end October, the vessel will proceed as planned with preparations at a yard in Norway for the 5+5 year contract in Brazil, including the 5-year Special Periodical Survey , equipment installation and mobilization of crews. The Aker Wayfarer is expected to commence operations in Brazil during 3Q 2016.

AKOFS Seafarer was idle during the third quarter. The market outlook is expected to be challenging going forward and a decision was made in the quarter to further reduce cost by adjusting operational preparedness. Following these cost reductions, operating expenses for the vessel whilst lying idle are expected to be less than USD 10 000 per day with full effect expected to materialize during the latter part of 4Q 2015.

In the third quarter, an impairment loss of NOK 1 037 million related to AKOFS Seafarer was recognized. The vessel is being, and will continue to be, actively marketed for work in the subsea construction and service market as well as Light Well Intervention (LWI), however the impairment was triggered by the current weak market conditions which are expected to continue in the short to medium term.

Fjords Processing

Revenues of Fjords Processing were NOK 487 million in the quarter, down from NOK 530 million in third quarter 2014. EBITDA for the quarter ended at NOK 17 million, with an EBITDA margin of 3.5 percent, up from -1.6 percent last year. Order intake in the quarter was NOK 391 million, down from 605 million in the same period previous year.

The decrease in revenues and order intake compared to last year was driven by lower activity within certain areas of Fjords, specifically within Equipment and Packages in the Americas where the market situation remains challenging. However, Fjords projections look encouraging with an expected increase in activity for the remaining part of 2015.

KOP Surface Products

Revenue in KOP Surface Products was NOK 338 million, an increase of 16.1 percent, compared to one year earlier. In USD terms, revenue declined by 12.2 percent versus third quarter of 2014, whereas EBITDA increased by 36.9 percent compared to 3Q 2014. EBITDA ended at NOK 67 million with a margin of 19.7 percent in the quarter, compared to 12.7 percent in the same period last year. The margin increase was driven by improved operational performance and cost efficiency.

Order intake was NOK 108 million in the quarter, giving a backlog of NOK 264 million at the end of the quarter. The market outlook for KOP Surface Products remains soft and as a consequence, both the activity level and financial results of KOP Surface Products are expected to be substantially weaker in the quarters ahead compared to performance so far in 2015.

The two businesses Step Oiltools and First Geo delivered a total EBITDA of NOK 11 million in the quarter. The real estate portfolio delivered an EBITDA of NOK 12 million after a loss of NOK 6 million from selling a minor Norwegian

property. A provision of NOK 173 million was made in the quarter related to onerous leases as a result of a weaker leasing market for subleasing in regions such as Stavanger, Aberdeen and Houston.

03. FINANCIAL RESULTS 3Q

Akastor, and its portfolio companies, are exposed to markets that have seen a decline in oil prices over the past few quarters. Weakening fundamentals and oil companies reducing E&P spend have had an impact across the oil services industry, including Akastor's portfolio companies. The effect has, in particular, affected MHWirth, which saw a significant reduction in results in 3Q.

The Akastor group's revenue was down 28 percent in the third quarter from the same quarter one year earlier, to NOK 3 678 million. The cost reduction initiatives will take effect gradually as from next year. The lower revenue level has resulted in capacity costs impacting the overall EBITDA for the third quarter.

EBITDA was negative NOK 169 million for the third quarter. Depreciation, amortization and impairments amounted to NOK 1 408 million for 3Q. Net financial items were NOK -198 million for the third quarter. Net financial items were impacted negatively by impairment loss of NOK 80 million related to the shares in Ezra.

Net tax benefit was NOK 397 million in 3Q giving an effective tax rate of 22.4 percent in the quarter. The effective tax rate is mainly explained by the mix of revenue the group earns in jurisdictions with various tax rates and non-tax deductible impairment loss related to Ezra shares. The effective tax rate is also affected by tax effects from fluctuations in currency from entities that are taxable in other currency than the functional currency.

The result for the third quarter period was a loss of NOK 1 377 million.

Financial Position

Cashflow from operations was positive NOK 15 million for the Akastor group in the third quarter.

Net current operating assets were reduced by NOK 191 million in the quarter to NOK 2 955 million at the end of September.

Net cash flow from investing activity was negative NOK 144 million in the quarter. Net interest-bearing debt increased by around NOK 300 million, to NOK 6.4 billion at the end of the third quarter.

The liquidity reserve at the end of the quarter was around NOK 1.6 billion, with cash and bank deposits of NOK 1 088 million and undrawn committed credit facilities of NOK 500 million.

Akastor secured a SGD 25 million financing in September, by selling 207 million Ezra shares to DNB Markets and simultaneously entering into a forward purchase agreement for the same number of shares, maturing on December 23, 2015.

The equity ratio was 32.1 percent at the end of the third quarter. Gross interest-bearing debt was NOK 7.6 billion at the end of the third quarter, including the financial lease on Aker Wayfarer of NOK 1.6 billion.

Related party transactions

Please see note 8 for a summary of significant related party transactions that occurred in 3Q 2015.

Principle, Risk and Uncertainty

Akastor ASA and each of its' portfolio companies are exposed to various forms of market, operational and financial risks. The market situation for the oil services industry is very challenging with low activity and weak market conditions. Further, the financial results will be affected by project execution by the portfolio companies and customer behavior. Results also depend on costs, both the portfolio companies' own costs and those charged by suppliers, as well as interest expenses, exchange rates and customers' ability to pay. In addition these companies, through their business activities within their respective sectors, are also exposed to legal/regulatory risks and political risks, i.e. political decisions on international sanctions that impact supply and demand and environmental regulations. Akastor and its portfolio companies also engage in mergers and acquisitions and other transactions that could expose the companies to financial and other non-operational risks, such as warranty claims and price adjustment mechanisms.

Akastor has established governing documents and systems to manage its exposure to the financial markets. These systems cover, among other things, currency-, interest rate-, tax-, counterparty- and liquidity risks. Akastor works systematically to manage risk in all of its portfolio companies. Akastors' annual report for 2014 provides more information on risks and uncertainties.

The Akastor Share

The company had a market capitalization of NOK 3.1 billion on October 30, 2015. The company owned 2 776 376 Akastor shares at the end of the quarter.

NOTES

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Akastor (the group) consists of Akastor ASA and its subsidiaries. Akastor ASA is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway and whose shares are publicly traded.

On September 26, 2014, the demerger of Akastor was completed and Aker Solutions Holding ASA ("New Aker Solutions"), a subsidiary of Akastor ASA established for the purposes of the demerger, was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange on September 29, 2014. At the same time Aker Solutions ASA changed name to Akastor ASA.

The group is an oil-services investment company with a portfolio of industrial holdings, real estate and other investments. Akastor is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker AKA. Please refer to note 34 Group companies in Akastor's Annual Report 2014 for more information on the group's structure.

Akastor's Annual Report for 2014 is available on www.akastor.com.

NOTE 2 - BASIS FOR PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Akastor comprise the group and the group's interests in equityaccounted investees. As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.

Akastor's condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IFRS) 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 Akastor's Annual Report 2014. 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 December 31, 2014.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

Net profit from discontinued operations for 2014

Net profit from discontinued operation for the interim reporting periods in 2014 does not correspond to the interim reports for 2014 due to the correction of errors that was implemented in the accounts in 4Q 2014. The adjustments made for each interim period are summarized as below:

NOK million 1Q 14 2Q 14 3Q 14 4Q 14
Net profit from discontinued operations 53 52 4 -

NOTE 3 - JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In applying the accounting policies, management makes judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and judgments 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 estimate is 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.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of uncertainty in the estimates are consistent with those applied to the consolidated financial statements as for the period ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 4 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

Akastor identifies its reportable segments and discloses segment information under IFRS 8 Operating Segments . See note 6 Operating segments in Akastor's Annual Report 2014 for descriptions of Akastor's management model and operating segments as well as accounting principles used for segment reporting.

When contract revenues and contract costs are denominated in a foreign currency, the subsidiary hedges the exposure against Corporate Treasury and hedge accounting is applied independently of whether the hedge qualifies for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS. The correction of the non-qualifying hedges is made as an adjustment at corporate level in order to secure that the consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. This means that the group's segment reporting reflects all hedges as qualifying even though they may not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS.

Hedge transactions not qualifying for hedge accounting represent in 3Q 2015 an accounting loss to EBITDA of NOK 20 million (gain of NOK 32 million in 3Q 2014) and a gain under financial items of NOK 37 million (loss of NOK 228 million in 3Q 2014). Corresponding year-to-date figures are an accounting loss of NOK 1 million to EBITDA (gain of NOK 33 million in 2014) and a gain under financial items of NOK 74 million (loss of NOK 227 million in 2014).

NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Restructuring

In 2015, MHWirth had to undertake a necessary reduction of its global work force due to the very challenging rig market, affecting both MHWirth and its customers. The reduction in workforce is estimated to be 1 800 people including contractors. In the third quarter, a restructuring cost of NOK 142 million is recognized as operating expenses and the total restructuring cost recognized in the first three quarters amounts to approximately NOK 202 million.

Purchase of AKOFS Seafarer vessel

The purchase of AKOFS Seafarer was executed in February 2015 and is included in capital expenditure in AKOFS Offshore. The purchase price was USD 122.5 million, all financed with new bank debt.

Impairment loss of fixed assets

In the first three quarters of 2015, total impairment loss of fixed assets amounts to NOK 1 143 million. An impairment loss of NOK 1 037 million (USD 122 million) related to AKOFS Seafarer vessel was recognized in the third quarter. The impairment was triggered by the current weak market conditions which are expected to continue in the short to medium term. Further, NOK 72 million was related to impairment of property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets that were no longer expected to be utilized in MHWirth.

Provision for onerous lease contracts

A provision of NOK 173 million was recognised in the third quarter related to onerous leases as a result of a weaker leasing market for subleasing in regions such as Stavanger, Aberdeen and Houston.

Borrowings

Borrowings have increased from NOK 5.0 billion to NOK 7.6 billion in the first three quarters of 2015. This is mainly explained by the new bank debt of USD 125 million related to purchase of AKOFS Seafarer, increased borrowings by NOK 1 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility and SGD 25 million through forward contract with Ezra shares, as well as increased borrowing of BRL 110 million related to new MHWirth plant under construction in Brazil.
