Akastor ASA is a Norwegian oil-services investment company with a diverse portfolio of industrial holdings and other investments, primarily focused on the oilfield services industry. In its half-year results for 2025, Akastor ASA reported a cash dividend of NOK 0.35 per share, reflecting positive cash generation in the second quarter. The company also reduced its holding in Odfjell Drilling by 50%, generating NOK 104 million in proceeds. Key highlights include stable earnings from HMH despite a softer rig market, a significant contract nomination for AKOFS Santos, and increased ownership in AKOFS Offshore to 66.7%. The company also completed the refinancing of AKOFS Seafarer, securing a USD 110 million facility. However, Akastor reported a net loss of NOK 218 million for the first half of 2025, a significant decline from the previous year’s profit, primarily due to a lack of arbitration award income that had boosted last year’s results. The company maintains a strong equity ratio of 88% and a liquidity reserve of NOK 704 million, positioning it well for future opportunities. Looking ahead, Akastor remains focused on maximizing fleet utilization and evaluating potential asset sales, while continuing to engage with key stakeholders to develop its business and mitigate risks.
