Q2 2025 Interim Results Presentation

Q2 2025 summary and post-quarter developments

  • Revenue up 37 percent to USD 258 million from the prior quarter and operating profit up 206 percent to USD 86 million, even with the contribution from the transformative USD 1.6 billion acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS in Norway recorded only as from 1 June 2025
  • Net production during the quarter increased 10 percent to 92,600 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), of which 56,100 boepd from the Kurdistan region of Iraq, 33,300 boepd from the North Sea and 3,200 boepd from West Africa
  • DNO issued its first USD 400 million hybrid bond in June in connection with the Sval Energi acquisition, capitalizing on a 24-year flawless bond track record
  • In July, DNO entered into a North Sea gas offtake agreement and a related USD 500 million financing facility well below the Company's historic borrowing costs
  • DNO's exploration success continued with the discovery of Vidsyn (DNO 25 percent) announced in July
  • The Board of Directors has authorized a dividend payment of NOK 0.375 per share to be paid early next month (representing NOK 1.50 per share on an annualized basis), up 20 percent from prior quarterly distributions

Note: Sval Energi's production included from 1 June 2025. Pro-forma North Sea Q2 2025 production with contribution from Sval Energi throughout the quarter was 74,100 boepd.

Resilient DNO to resume spend

  • At Kurdistan's Tawke license (75 percent and operator), gross production from Tawke and Peshkabir fields averaged 74,800 boepd (82,100 boepd in Q1 2025) with strict spending discipline and no drilling of new wells in two years
  • In mid-July, explosive drone strikes by unidentified parties impacted operations of a number of international oil companies in Kurdistan, including DNO's operations at Tawke and Peshkabir
  • No individuals were injured, but surface processing equipment at Peshkabir and a storage tank at Tawke were hit
  • While months-long repairs are pending and security concerns remain, DNO has ramped up gross production on a test basis to 55,000 boepd, about evenly split between the Tawke and Peshkabir fields
  • With revenues secured through local sales, in addition to long-term repairs, DNO is planning to recommence drilling to return to pre-Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline shutdown production levels of 100,000 boepd

  • Post Sval acquisition, DNO has production from over 30 North Sea fields
  • Most recent development, Maria Revit from Sval Energi's portfolio, put on production in May 2025 and will contribute some 4,000 boepd net to DNO at peak 70 80 90
  • Six ongoing developments scheduled to come onstream between 2025 and 2029, which together will contribute some 25,000 boepd net to DNO at the end of that period
  • Cuvette, Ofelia and Cerisa discoveries, all potential tieins to Gjøa, moving toward 2025-26 project sanctions
  • More than a dozen other discoveries, including DNO operated Kjøttkake, Norma and Othello, being matured for project sanctions
  • Appraisal drilling scheduled in 2026 to delineate two of Norway's biggest recent discoveries, Carmen and Norma

Key priorities in the North Sea

  • Improve balance between cash flow generation and growth initiatives
  • Work harder, together with like-minded industry partners, to significantly reduce time from discovery to investment decision for discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
  • Highgrade the enlarged portfolio since Sval Energi acquisition to maximize value
  • Also targeting growth through focused exploration and further acquisitions
  • Realizing tax/financing and cost synergies from the Sval Energi acquisition
  • Meanwhile, on track to complete legal merger of operating subsidiaries in Norway by yearend 2025 with a management team and organizational set-up incorporating the best from both companies, supplemented by additional field development and operating expertise

Financial results – key figures

  • Increase in revenue and operating profit driven by Sval Energi assets contributing to earnings as from 1 June
  • Stable net profit as higher revenue is offset by higher financing costs and tax

Cash flow

  • Q2 2025 operational cash flow of USD 135 million (USD 100 million in Q1 2025)
  • A North Sea tax instalment of USD 114 million was paid in Q2 2025 (no payments/refunds in Q1 2025)
  • Net investing activities of USD 294 million (USD 109 million in Q1 2025) largely consist of USD 295 million in portfolio investments and consideration paid for Sval Energi (net of cash acquired)
  • Net cash outflow from financing activities of USD 412 million (inflow of USD 583 million in Q1 2025) driven by debt repayment of USD 1,050 million, partly offset by new borrowings and issue of hybrid bond together totaling USD 700 million
  • Cash at end Q2 2025 totaled USD 788 million

Q2 2025 cash flow USD million

Balance sheet and capital structure

  • On the asset side of the balance sheet, the acquisition of Sval Energi leads to materially higher PPE as well as goodwill
  • For equity and liabilities, the acquisition and associated financing result in higher equity (hybrid bond issue), higher interestbearing debt (bridge loan and prepayments) and higher liabilities related to tax and asset retirement obligations
  • Total balance sheet size more than doubled since yearend 2024
  • At the end of Q2 2025, net debt stood at USD 860 million and net debt to EBITDAX was 0.5x1
