Investing.com -- Dno ASA (OL:DNO) reported a sharp jump in second-quarter results, with revenue rising 37% from the prior quarter to $258 million and operating profit up 206% to $86 million.

The company’s shares jumped more than 12% following the release. 

The performance came despite the company’s $1.6 billion acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS in Norway being included only from June 1.

The company still booked a net loss of $7 million, widening from a $4 million loss in the previous quarter.

Production climbed 10% to 92,600 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), with 56,100 boepd from the Kurdistan region of Iraq, 33,300 boepd from the North Sea, and 3,200 boepd from West Africa.

With the Sval Energi assets, DNO projects North Sea output in the second half of 2025 to rise to 80,000–85,000 boepd.

“With strong production and cash generation across the portfolio, we will continue our pivot to delivering increased cash value to our shareholders with stepped up dividends while streamlining and trimming expenditure across the Company,” said Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani.

He added the group remains “focused like a laser on lowering the level and cost of debt.”

DNO board approved a quarterly dividend of NOK 0.375 per share, to be paid early next month. On an annualized basis, this equals NOK 1.50 per share and marks a 20% increase from the previous payout.
