Vår Energi (Buy, TP: NOK38.00) - Strong underlying performance

We view the Q1 report as slightly positive, despite a 5% EBITDA miss to consensus. We direct our attention to the strong operating underlying performance with production and costs 3% better than expected. Thus, we view the EBITDA miss primarily a result of timing effects with c12kboed lower sold volumes than produced in the quarter – something we expect to reverse over the coming quarters. The raised 2022e dividend guidance to USD1bn (we and consensus expected USD900m) implies a competitive 9.7% dividend yield.
