announced results for the first quarter 2025. Aker Horizons' net capital
employed stood at NOK 4.3 billion, a decrease of NOK 1.7 billion from the fourth
quarter, mainly reflecting the dividend paid by Aker Carbon Capture ASA ("ACC")
during the quarter and AKH's share of results in the portfolio companies in Q1.
The company reported a cash position of NOK 4.1 billion and an undrawn credit
facility of EUR 500 million. The credit facility has since expired and will not
be extended.

together with Nordkraft
