BlueNord (Buy, TP: NOK660.00) - Dividends set to unfold

Q4 EBITDA was USD95m, in line with our USD94m but 9% below Bloomberg consensus of USD105m. With the Tyra restart scheduled for late-March, set to double production to ~50kboed, BlueNord plans to reset its capital structure by refinancing its reserve-based lending (RBL) facility and repay its BNOR14 bond, ultimately reducing near-term debt amortisations and eliminating dividend restrictions. It is set to return 60–75% of the current market cap to shareholders by 2026, per the distribution policy; we expect 64%. We reiterate our BUY and NOK660 target price.
