Dividend
Aker ASA aims to create value for its shareholders in the form of dividend payments and increased share value over time.
Dividend policy
Aker ASA‘s objective is to pay annual dividends of 4-6 percent of the company‘s year-end Net Asset Value (NAV). The dividend policy is rooted in a balanced approach to capital allocation, maintaining a solid balance sheet, liquidity reserves adequate to handle future obligations, preserving financial flexibility and investment capacity, while delivering consistent returns to shareholders.
Proposed dividend in 2024
In 2024, the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) approved to distribute an ordinary dividend of NOK 15.50 per share for 2023. The AGM further approved that the Board is authorized to distribute an additional dividend in 2024 based on the 2023 annual accounts.
Announcement of dividends
Aker ASA will publish the proposed dividends from the Board of Directors in connection with the publication of annual results. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is responsible for the approval of the proposed dividends.
