Net asset value (NAV) is a core performance indicator at Aker ASA. NAV expresses Aker’s underlying value and is a key determinant of the company’s dividend policy (annual dividend payments of 2-4 per cent of NAV). Gross asset value is determined by applying the market value of exchange-listed shares, while book value is used for other assets. Net asset value is gross asset value less liabilities.

  • Report for the Fourth Quarter of 2010 in 2010, Aker ASA Continued to Focus on Further Developing the Operating Company Holdings
    Report for the fourth quarter of 2010 In 2010, Aker ASA continued to focus on further developing the operating company holdings. A strong foundation for value growth going forward has been prepared. Aker Drilling is targeting growth markets with deep water and harsh weather conditions as an independent, listed company with Aker as a minority shareholder. Aker’s share investment in the drilling company has been written down by NOK 1.7 billion. In the fourth quarter, Aker Solutions announced the sale of companies valued at NOK 7 billion. The company is being streamlined as an engineering, technology, and services company. The EPC business will be spun off and listed. Det norske had poor exploration results in 2010, and has announced a more focused exploration strategy going forward.
