Q2 2026 earnings summary13 Aug, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved record Q2 2026 revenue of USD 761 million, up 21% quarter-on-quarter, driven by strong North Sea production and high commodity prices, offsetting near-total Kurdistan shutdown.

  • Net production averaged 88,430 boepd, with North Sea contributing 84,912 boepd, West Africa 3,246 boepd, and Kurdistan 273 boepd due to prolonged shutdown.

  • Operating profit rose 55% to USD 439 million and net profit increased 65% to USD 83.4 million quarter-on-quarter.

  • High free cash flow of USD 289.5 million supported by favorable pricing and deferred Norwegian tax payments.

  • Announced possible offer for Genel Energy at a 38% premium to pre-announcement share price, with engagement pending under UK Takeover Code.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2026 revenue reached USD 761 million, up from USD 627 million in Q1 2026 and nearly 200% year-over-year.

  • Operating profit was USD 439 million in Q2 2026 (USD 283.7 million in Q1 2026); net profit was USD 83.4 million (USD 51 million in Q1 2026).

  • Free cash flow enabled USD 220 million debt repayment in Q2, with cash position stable at USD 550 million.

  • Net debt reduced to USD 553 million, down 30% from Q1.

  • Board approved NOK 0.375 per share dividend, marking 17 consecutive quarters of payouts.

Outlook and guidance

  • 2026 production guidance raised to 85,000 boepd, reflecting strong North Sea performance and new tie-back developments.

  • Ambition to reach 100,000 boepd in the North Sea by 2030 remains unchanged.

  • Kurdistan production outlook remains highly uncertain, dependent on security; aim to restore pre-shutdown levels if conditions permit.

  • New projects Symra and Dvalin North to contribute 8,000 boepd at plateau.

  • Board approved a quarterly dividend of NOK 0.375 per share for September, unchanged from last quarter.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
