The cornerstone of this objective is a strong, structured and companywide HSSE system, setting clear standards for HSSE management and leadership. <br>Front-End work was in strong demand in 2020, with a total of 159 orders for studies and projects. Of these, 23 percent were for projects related to the energy transition. Several of the ongoing studies are expected to lead to FEEDS in the second half of 2021. </p><p></p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Pandemic/ COVID-19 </li><li style="flex:1">Growth for Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Solutions </li></ul><p></p><p>Protecting health and life of the people working for and with Aker Solutions has been on top of the agenda through 2020. Thorough procedures have made it possible to maintain progress on ongoing contracts in spite of the pandemic. Still, the financial results were negatively impacted by the unprecedented situation. The COVID-19 will also through 2021 continue to influence both private lives as well as ongoing operations. Through close collaboration with customers and authorities, Aker Solutions aims to continue to demonstrate that progress for projects under execution can be continued. <br>Aker Solutions will maintain the already strong position as a supplier to the oil and gas market, and simultaneously grow the activities in the markets for sustainable energy production. The target has been set for renewables and low-carbon solutions to constitute one-third of the revenues by 2025, and to become two-thirds of the revenues by 2030. The complimentary offerings and capabilities in the merged Aker Solutions and Kvaerner company are some of the main enablers for this acceleration. </p><p></p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Merger </li><li style="flex:1">Divestments </li></ul><p></p><p>In 2020, the merger of the previous Aker Solutions and Kvaerner organizations was completed.

The planned synergy effects have been implemented during the merger process and will be followed up through 2021. <br>Aker Solutions spun-off its Carbon Capture and Offshore Wind businesses unlocking significant value to its shareholders.

In the fourth quarter, the company secured three milestone contracts related to the Norwegian Longship project for full scale carbon capture and storage (CCS). <br>At the University Agostinho Neto, Aker Solutions delivered a new library as part of our USD 5 million investment and long term commitment to Angola. The engineering school library is now remodeled and equipped with new furniture, academic books, computers and internet access.

At the same time, we announced that we already, during last autumn, would make significant structural and strategic changes to transform the company. This included spinning off Aker Carbon Capture and Aker Offshore Wind, thereby unlocking significant value to shareholders. We also completed merging Aker Solutions and Kvaerner to create a leading execution partner for both existing and emerging energy industries. </p><p>CEO Introduction </p><p>MENU </p><p><strong>9</strong></p><p>AKER SOLUTIONS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 <strong>CEO INTRODUCTION </strong></p><p>The merger has strengthened the size and resilience of the company. We have a simplified and leaner organizational structure, and the offering is well tailored to our markets. The targeted cost savings were fully implemented during 2020, which has further enhanced competitiveness. In 2021, we are making further improvements. employees have done a fantastic job in adhering to the regulations we implemented across our locations. This has been key to keep operations going and to minimize the negative potential of the situation. In close collaboration with our customers, partners and national authorities, we have in spite of the pandemic managed to maintain a strong progress on ongoing, important projects around the world. production such as offshore wind power or hydrogen production plants. Some prospects look to combine oil and gas production with development of renewable power generation. </p><p>Aker Solutions already has a strong offering for oil and gas projects. For execution of renewable projects and decarbonization solutions, our offering is built upon our proven expertise and execution models. In the emerging markets, we also see that energy companies, end customers and key contractors can take new roles and establish new business models. From Aker Solutions, we are actively driving for a development for increased used of partnerships, alliances and other collaboration models, and we have already established several key strategic agreements. In essence, we are creating a stronger and more optimized supplier company with a focused strategy. </p><p>The merger has strengthened the size and resilience of the company. </p><p>In June 2020, the Norwegian government and parliament decided on a temporary tax incentive package. This tax relief was aimed at increasing the sanctioning of new oil and gas projects at the Norwegian Continental Shelf. This has resulted in some immediate new contracts last year, as well as creating more studies for our front-end business. This will create a pull-through effect and materialize in more work in the months and years to come. <br>During last year, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the market volatility were noticeable within the company. The revenue and EBITDA fell as a result of the challenging backdrop, but the order backlog grew 15 percent compared to 2019, ending at NOK 38 billion. The outlook for project sanctioning improved for the coming years. <br>The world will continue to demand oil and gas as well as the by-products for a long time. We will maintain our position as one of the leading international suppliers to the oil and gas companies. <br>Increased use of digital solutions and technologies across all work processes will, both in 2021 and in the subsequent years, be an essential enabler for our </p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">development and growth. </li><li style="flex:1">The COVID-19 pandemic also introduced new HSSE </li></ul><p>challenges. I am pleased with how we as a company have managed this situation. We are committed to a goal of zero harm to our employees, not just through accident prevention, but also through safeguarding employee’s physical and mental health. Even before this was declared as a pandemic, we mobilized our emergency response and crisis management teams to safeguard our employees’ well-being and ensure that business continuity was maintained. <br>In parallel, the shift towards low-carbon and renewables is prominent. The energy transition continues to evolve from high level international and national ambitions to materializing into industrial company strategies, ours included. We are using this market development to grow our business for deliveries to a more sustainable energy production. Our backlog within low-carbon, oil and gas and renewable business is steadily increasing. <br>Even though 2020 was a challenging year for us all, we have pulled together as a company and a new organization. From my background on the customerside and now seeing the company from the inside, I am confident that Aker Solutions is the best partner for energy companies to succeed in the market we see ahead – and to deliver value for shareholders. I am looking forward to what we will achieve together in 2021. </p><p>In cooperation with local health authorities, we implemented several measures to safeguard employees, suppliers and local societies to prevent the spread of the virus. Our focus was on the health and safety of the people and, I am pleased to say our <br>Best Regards, <br>We see that our customers, for almost all upcoming oil and gas projects, want solutions for reduction of climate footprint on their installations.
