DNO Exits Landmark Year Prepped for a Nervous and Frisky Market in 2026

Oslo, 5 February 2026 - DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, today

reported a year-on-year doubling of revenues to USD 1,474 million in 2025,

boosted by the June acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS in Norway. Cash from

operations also more than doubled to USD 929 million, while operating profit

increased to USD 513 million. Net profit stood at negative USD 25 million after

deducting income tax and net financial expenses. A major milestone reached late

last year was 500 million barrels produced from the Tawke license in the

Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Net production in 2025 rose 43 percent year-on-year to 110,700 barrels of oil

equivalent per day (boepd), the highest in the Company's 54-year history, split

between the North Sea (54,800 boepd), Kurdistan (52,600 boepd) and West Africa

(3,300 boepd). The figures picked up in the fourth quarter with net production

of 88,300 boepd in the North Sea and 58,000 boepd in Kurdistan.

After a 30-month investment hiatus in Kurdistan, which was triggered by the

closure of the export pipeline to the Mediterranean, DNO has restarted drilling

with a two-rig, eight-well program on the Tawke license to increase production

and add to existing reserves. A third rig was signed up in January to drill

additional wells in the flagship license, solidifying DNO's position as by far

the most active international operator in the region.

To ensure predictable cash to support its ongoing spend, DNO continues to sell

its oil on a cash-and-carry basis under existing contracts with local buyers at

a price in the low USD 30s but aims to access export markets or export prices

later in the year.

In the North Sea, too, the Company is on a fast-track trajectory to grow its

enlarged portfolio. With the recent startup of Andvare and Verdande, DNO holds

stakes in 30 producing North Sea fields, four ongoing field developments and

another four scheduled for approval this year, as well as a dozen other

discoveries across 130 licenses. In January, DNO was awarded another 17

licenses, of which four operated, in Norway, where the Company remains among the

most active explorers with an eight-well exploration program this year.

"Given geopolitical convulsions, the oil market will swing between nervous and

frisky in 2026," said Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, adding that

"DNO does not do nervous, but it does do frisky." Mr. Mossavar-Rahmani continued

that "with more stable cash generation from the addition of high-margin assets

in the North Sea and a significant line of credit available from offtake

agreements, we can pounce when attractive acquisition opportunities appear."

Planned operational spend on the existing portfolio will be USD 1,650 million in

2026, up from USD 1,550 million in 2025 (pro forma, including Sval Energi

throughout 2025), with most of the increase driven by the drilling restart in

Kurdistan. The Company projects 2026 net production to climb 10 percent from

136,000 boepd (pro forma, including Sval Energi throughout the year) to 150,000

boepd in 2026, split between the North Sea at 82,000 boepd, Kurdistan at 65,000

boepd and West Africa at 3,000 boepd.

DNO paid USD 130 million in dividends to its shareholders in 2025. The Board of

Directors yesterday authorized a dividend of NOK 0.375 per share payable in

February, maintaining the quarterly distribution at the same level as last

quarter.
