  • Aker BP Acquires Licence Portfolio from Total

    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 assignment is not confidential (NB! Use the red form for confidential theses) TITLE: Valuation of Aker BP ASA AUTHOR(S) SUPERVISOR: Bernt Arne Ødegaard Candidate number: Name: 3091 André Ellertsen 1 Executive summary The valuation will determine the fair value of Aker BP’s equity as of January 1st, 2020, using a fundamental approach. In addition, relative valuation will be included as a supplement. The valuation is done as of January 1st because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has influenced multiple aspects of the global markets, like oil prices, demands and interest rates. The first part of this thesis consists of an introduction of the company and its surrounding environment. Further follows relevant theory of valuation, and an explanation for choice of method. Next a strategic analysis of the company’s internal and external environment is conducted to reveal the company’s level of competitiveness. Further in the thesis the company’s financial statements are presented and explained, and a risk analysis is conducted to uncover potential short-term or long-term payment failure. Next, Future cashflows are estimated based on findings from the strategic analysis and presented along with a justification. Based on the future cashflows, and estimated WACC, a fundamental valuation is done to estimate the value of Aker BP ASA. Lastly, the valuation is combined with a value estimated from a comparative valuation approach, and a brief conclusion is given.

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.

  • Arctic Norwegian Value Creation Monthly Report February 2019

    Arctic Norwegian Value Creation Monthly Report February 2019

    Arctic Norwegian Value Creation Monthly Report February 2019 FUND COMMENTS Arcc Norwegian Value Creaon (Class B) increased by 4.8% in February, bringing YTD return to 11.7%. Since incep- on in August 2014, the fund has returned 72.7% compared to 43.6% for the Norwegian benchmark. The largest posive contributors to fund performance in February were Schibsted, Elkem and Kongsberg Gruppen. Schibsted once again delivered a decent report. The main online marketplaces, France (Leboncoin), Norway (Finn) and Spain delivered sales growth of 16%, 17% and 13%, respecvely. Sweden, however, is struggling with a slight decline in sales. 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. Kongsberg reported an increase in quarterly earnings of 25% year-over -year. Most notably, its defense area reported exceponally strong margins. In its Marime business, profitability connued its upward trend, while revenues increased following a three-year slump. Cash flow was exceponally strong, albeit boosted by prepayments in its defense business.

Storebrand’s position as a leading player in the Nordic occupational pension market strengt- hened through 2011. In addition, several strategic and organisational adjustments were im- plemented in order to increase focus on the retail market. The reason for this initiative is the transition from defined benefit to defined contribution occupational pension schemes, where the individual employees have a greater involvement. Business relationships give the Group a strategic advantage in the relationships established with company employees. OUTLOOK Fusion of corporate and retail markets The shift from defined benefit to defined contribution occupational pension schemes has led to both risks and investment options being transferred from employer to employee. In addi- tion, the pensions reform will lead to lower future pension payments for many employees. In sum, this increases both the need and interest in pensions and private savings significantly.

  • Aker BP Acquires King Lear Discovery

    Aker BP Acquires King Lear Discovery

    Aker BP acquires King Lear discovery Aker BP has entered into an agreement with Equinor Energy to acquire its 77.8 percent interest in the King Lear gas/condensate discovery in the Norwegian North Sea for a cash consideration of USD 250 million. Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP comments: “The King Lear discovery is one of the largest undeveloped discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and represents an excellent opportunity for Aker BP. Our goal is to develop King Lear as a satellite to Ula. This will improve the capacity utilization at the Ula facilities and provide significant additional volumes of injection gas to support increased oil recovery from the Ula field.” Net recoverable resources in the King Lear discovery are estimated to 77 million barrels oil equivalents ("mmboe") according to data from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. When including the increased oil recovery potential from Ula, Aker BP estimates a total resource addition of more than 100 mmboe net to the company. King Lear is located approximately 50 km south of the Ula field centre, in production licences 146 and 333. The transaction covers Equinor Energy’s 77.8 percent interest in the two licences. The remaining 22.2 percent interest is held by Total E&P Norge. The transaction is subject to approval by Norwegian authorities.
