Aker Solution has grown revenue and operating margins considerably over the past decade and today hosts a Capital Market Day focused on the driving forces for continued strengthened performance.

Aker Solutions' strategic direction will seek to ensure performance improvements along three main axes; further development of the company's strong positions in deepwater and harsh environments, a continued build-up of its lifecycle services business and a continuous focus on operational efficiency and cost competitiveness.

As previously communicated, Aker Solutions will not offer any specific financial guiding. For an overview of any forward looking statements, please refer the attached presentation by EVP & CFO Leif Borge in general, and to slide 17 in his presentation in particular.

Attached are the presentations by President & CEO Simen Lieungh and EVP & CFO Leif Borge. Presentations to be held by other members of the executive management team can be downloaded from www.akersolutions.com. A live web cast is also available on www.akersolutions.com.
