  • Aker BP Acquires Licence Portfolio from Total
    Aker BP acquires licence portfolio from Total Aker BP has entered into an agreement with Total E&P Norge to acquire its interests in a portfolio of 11 licences on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for a cash consideration of USD 205 million. The portfolio includes four discoveries with net recoverable resources of 83 million barrels oil equivalents ("mmboe"), based on estimates from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. Two of the discoveries, Trell and Trine, are located near the Aker BP-operated Alvheim field and are expected to be produced through the Alvheim FPSO. The Alve Nord discovery is located north of the Aker BP-operated Skarv field, and can be produced through the Skarv FPSO. The Rind discovery is part of the NOAKA area where the total recoverable resources are estimated to more than 500 mmboe, and where Aker BP is working towards a new area development. In addition to these discoveries, the transaction also provides the company with increased interest in exploration acreage near the Aker BP-operated Ula field. The transaction is subject to approval by Norwegian authorities. Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP comments: “We see a huge value creation potential in maximizing production through our operated production hubs. This requires continuous development and optimisation of the existing reserves and resources, as well as adding new resources through exploration and acquisitions of existing discoveries. With this transaction, we get access to new tie-back opportunities in the Alvheim and Skarv areas, we strengthen our resource base in the NOAKA area, and we increase our interest in exploration acreage near the Ula field.

The thesis primarily seeks to evaluate whether a multiple factor forecast model or a forecast combination model incorporating additional explanatory variables have the ability to outperform a five common factor (FCF) benchmark forecast model containing common factors for the Norwegian stock market. The in-sample and out-of- sample forecasting results indicate that a multiple factor forecast model fails to outperform the FCF benchmark model. Interestingly, a forecast combination model with additional explanatory variables for the Norwegian market is expected to outperform the FCF benchmark forecast model. GRA 19703 0981324 0983760 Acknowledgements This thesis was written as the final piece of assessment after five years at BI Norwegian Business School and marks the completion of the Master of Science in Business program. We would like to thank our supervisor Ignacio Garcia de Olalla Lopez for his help and guidance through this process.

Losses in investment phase companies were sharply reduced. Publishing, the tradional media houses, delivered 9% earnings growth and a 10% EBITDA-margin. There is increased focus on the demerger of its internaonal marketplaces into a new company, Adevinta, which will take place in April. Elkem reported reasonably strong Q4 profits despite very weak Chinese silicones markets in the laer part of 2018. An annual dividend of NOK 2.6 was announced, corresponding to a yield of 11.4% on the day prior to the results release. Addionally, costs are cut to the tune of NOK 500 million, and the silicones market has shown signs of re- newed strength aer the Chinese New Year.

In its Marime business, profitability connued its upward trend, while revenues increased following a three-year slump.

    SHAREHOLDER LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 2017 2 SHAREHOLDER LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 2017 SHAREHOLDER LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 2017 3 XTREME X-FACTOR Aker’s aim is to make a difference. The key question is whether our active ownership generates added value for shareholders over and above what passive management would achieve. This X-factor was extreme in 2016. Since listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2004, Aker’s return to shareholders has been more than double that of the main Oslo Stock Exchange benchmark index (OSEBX). “Buy when everyone else is selling and The proposed dividend equates to 3.5 hold until everyone else is buying.
