"We are pleased to report strong financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2026. As planned Vår Energi delivered record high production of 406 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboepd) within guidance, an increase of around 50% compared to a year ago.
The Company is strongly leveraged to the current high price environment, while maintaining our strategy and commitment to being a long-term reliable and responsible supplier of oil and gas to Europe from the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Norway demonstrates low political risk and continues to be a key provider of energy to Europe as geopolitical tension remains high.
With our high quality portfolio of early phase projects, we are targeting to deliver long-term production of over 400 kboepd, which will sustain high shareholder returns over time.
Underpinned by strong performance and cash flow generation, the Company continues to deliver attractive returns and confirms shareholder distributions of USD 300 million for the first quarter of 2026. Dividend guidance for the second quarter of 2026 continues at USD 300 million, in line with our stated dividend policy of 25 to 30% of cash flow from operations after tax over the cycles." says Nick Walker, the CEO of Vår Energi.
