Statement of income Statement of comprehensive income Statement of financial position Statement of cash flows
These interim financial statements for Pandion Energy AS ("Pandion Energy" or "the company") have been prepared to comply with:
These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors.
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of simplified IFRS pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act §3-9 and regulations regarding simplified application of IFRS issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on 3 November 2014, thus the interim financial statements do not include all information required by simplified IFRS and should be read in conjunction with financial statements of the company for the period ending 31 December 2022.
The accounting policies adopted are in all aspects consistent with those followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the company for the year ending 31 December 2022.
For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the financial statements for 2022.
The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an
annual period. In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In Q3 2023, the company generated total revenues of USD 80.3 million, an increase from USD 54.5 million in the same period last year. The higher revenues were driven by an increase in realised crude oil volumes, partly offset by decreased oil and gas prices. During Q3 2023, average realised oil price before hedging was USD 85.8 per boe, which represents a significant decrease from the USD 105.0 per boe achieved in Q3 2022. The average realised gas price in Q3 2023 was USD 60.2 per boe, down from USD 205.5 per boe in the same period last year. The combined average realised price for oil, gas and NGL during the quarter was USD 82.0 per boe, compared to USD 118.2 per boe achieved in Q3 2022.
The volume of oil sold was 877 kboe in Q3 2023 compared to 392 kboe in Q3 2022. The relatively high volume of oil sold during the quarter was mainly due to a significant underlift on both the Valhall and Hod fields as well as on the Nova field at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
In Q3 2023, the company's EBITDAX amounted to USD 58.8 million, an increase from USD 43.9 million achieved in the same period last year. The higher EBITDAX is explained by significantly higher operating revenues during the quarter.
Operating expenses for the oil and gas sold were recorded at USD 21.2 million in Q3 2023, a significant increase from the USD 11.9 million incurred during Q3 2022 mainly related to higher volume sold.
Profit from operating activities was USD 43.4 million (USD 27.5 million in Q3 2022).
Investments in exploration & evaluation assets amounted to USD 4.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 largely explained by appraisal activities on PL 929 Ofelia. The appraisal well was spudded on 30 September 2023.
The company's investments in fixed assets in Q3 2023 amounted to USD 14.9 million, of which USD 13 million was invested in the Valhall and Hod fields. The majority of this investment was allocated to the Sulphate Removal Unit project, well intervention activities and the Valhall PWP project, which are aimed at increasing the field's production capacity and operational efficiency. An additional USD 1.9 million was invested in the Nova field.
The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 166.5 million at the end of the third quarter, down from USD 191.5 million at the end of the second quarter 2023. The debt is comprised of a bond debt of USD 75 million and an RBL drawdown of USD 91.5 million. The net debt was reduced by USD 22.3 million during the quarter down to USD 148.2 million. Overall, the company maintains its strong financial position with a leverage ratio of only 0.8x net debt/ EBITDAX.
In order to reduce the risk related to oil price fluctuations, the company has established an oil price hedging programme.
At the end of September, 41% of the after-tax (11% of pre-tax) crude oil production volumes up to the end of 2024 had been hedged at an average floor price of 54 USD/bbl (USD 51.6/bbl net of costs). Additional positions may be added to the program going forward, however, the structure, amounts and levels of any further hedging will depend on how the market for commodity derivatives develops.
The company has recognised a realised loss from hedging in Q3 2023 presented as other income. The loss amounted to USD 0.3 million.
During the third quarter, production from the Valhall area dropped to 4.7 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day, net to Pandion Energy, due to an unplanned shutdown caused by a leakage incident. The leakage, primarily consisting of water and some oil, was collected in a storage tank with no spill to sea. Following a thorough inspection, necessary preventive measures were promptly implemented. Production resumed at 2/3 of installed capacity within a few days and is continuing to ramp up into the fourth quarter. As a result, production efficiency was reduced to 74 percent for the third quarter.
The Noble Integrator rig continued to support the stimulation and intervention activities at Valhall to enhance well production. In the third quarter, the rig completed the first phase of a campaign to permanently plug and abandon eight wells at the old Hod A platform. The rig left the field and is now off contract after supporting the stimulation and intervention activities at Valhall since March 2022.
Drilling of a new infill well on the north flank of Valhall has commenced with the Noble Invincible rig, with first oil expected by year-end. Following this, the rig will be moved to Hod A to begin the second phase of the plugging and abandonment campaign.
Construction activities have commenced for the Valhall PWP project. The joint development project with Fenris comprises a new centrally located production and wellhead Platform (PWP) bridge-linked to the Valhall central complex along with and unmanned installation at Fenris tied back to the PWP. First steel was cut for Valhall PWP at Stord.
Detailed engineering and procurement activities are also in progress. The PDO for the Valhall PWP project was approved by the MPE in June 2023. The total estimated recoverable resources for Valhall PWP amount to 70 mmboe gross, with production scheduled to begin in 2027. The project also includes a modernisation of Valhall, ensuring continued operations when parts of the current infrastructure are phased out in 2028. The development will leverage Valhall's existing power-from-shore system, resulting in minimal emissions estimated at less than 1 kilogram of CO2 per boe.
During Q3 2023, production from the Nova field averaged 3.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day, net to Pandion Energy (including compensation volume). Production availability was 96%.
The Nova field licence group is obligated to compensate the Gjøa licence group for deferred production due to the tie-in operations. The compensation shall be paid in kind by the Nova group's own production. The compensation volume in Q3 2023 was 612 barrels of oil equivalent per day net from Pandion Energy.
A side-track drilling operation to improve the effect of one of the injector wells was successfully completed in the previous quarter, leading to improved water injection and increased production. Production at Nova was negatively impacted by the maintenance at Gjøa in the quarter. Further, production continues to be somewhat limited by lower effectiveness of the water injectors than expected. A rig has been secured to drill a fourth water injector well in the second half of 2024 which will enable the operator to target the best location for Nova's fourth water injector and further improve the water injection at the field.
These efforts demonstrate the company's commitment to optimising the field's production and maximising its long-term value.
During the third quarter of 2023, the company was planning a drilling campaign on Ofelia discovery. The drilling of an appraisal well was commenced on 30 September 2023.
Pandion Energy will continue to be an active and responsible partner in driving value in high quality assets on the Norwegian continental shelf. As part of this, the company actively searches for and evaluates opportunities to make value-accretive investments (e.g. through acquisitions, farm-ins, licencing rounds, swaps or other) and to divest assets to realise value created in its existing portfolio (e.g. through sale, farm-downs, swaps or other), and/or to seek business combinations that may cater for further, profitable growth.

Impairment tests of individual cash-generating units are performed when impairment triggers are identified and for goodwill impairment is tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
In Q3 2023, two categories of impairment tests have been performed:
Following the increased oil price environment during 2023, no impairment has been recognised in Q3 2023.

Income tax for Q3 2023 is estimated at USD 21.6 million, compared to USD 25.3 million in Q3 2022. The effective tax rate year to date 2023 was 102%, with the weakening of NOK during the period as the main driver for the higher rate.
The tax calculation is based on the new tax petroleum system enacted in June 2022 with effect from 1 January 2022. According to the new rules, the special petroleum tax (56%) is converted into a cash-based tax with an immediate deductions for expenses incurred. The tax value of new losses (both exploration losses and other losses) in the special tax base is refunded. As part of the transition to the new tax regime, tax value of historical losses and utilised uplift will be settled as part of tax assessment for 2022 during Q4 2023.
