Introduction

General information

These interim financial statements for Pandion Energy AS ("Pandion Energy" or "the company") have been prepared to comply with:

  • The amended and restated reserve based lending facility ("RBL") agreement dated 2 June 2022
  • Bond terms for senior unsecured bond dated 2 June 2022

Pandion Energy completed the acquisition of ONE-Dyas Norge AS on 30 June 2022, the transaction included a 10 percent share of the Nova field. Following completion of the transaction, ONE-Dyas Norge AS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Pandion Energy and the name of the company was changed to Pandion Energy Norge AS ("Pandion Energy Norge"). The transaction was recognised as an asset acquisition under IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment". In accordance with conditions set forth in the approval by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, the two companies were merged with Pandion Energy as surviving entity. The merger was completed in November 2022 with effect from the acquisition date 30 June 2022.

These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors.

Accounting principles

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 2021.

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 2021.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the financial statements for 2021.

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.

Financial review

Revenues

Pandion delivered significantly higher revenues from sale of liquids and natural gas compared to fourth quarter last year. Revenues amounted to USD 76.7 (42.5 in Q4 21) million mainly driven by higher oil volumes sold (686 kboe compared to 436 in Q4 2021), following an overlift of 179 kboe related to the Nova field.

Higher revenues compared to fourth quarter last year was also driven by higher realised prices. The average realised oil price before hedging was USD 92.4 (USD 80.6 in Q4 2021) per boe, and the average realised gas price was USD 171.6 (USD 103.1 in Q4 2021) per boe.

Operating expenses and financial results

EBITDAX amounted to USD 66.6 million (33.7 in Q4 2021). The increase compared to Q4 2021 was mainly driven by higher revenues partly offset by higher operating expenses.

Operating expenses amounted to USD 13.0 (8.7 in Q4 2021) million. The increase from same period last year is due to higher sales volumes driven by production ramp up of Nova, higher power prices and increased well intervention activities on Valhall and Hod.

Profit from operating activities was USD 48.2 million (-12.2 in Q4 2021). In addition to increased EBITDAX the increased profit is driven by lower exploration expenses. The reduction in exploration expenses from the comparative period is mainly related to write down of the Iving discovery in Q4 2021.

Financial review

Capital expenditures

Investments in exploration & evaluation assets amounted to USD 11 million mainly related to drilling on the Calypso prospect in PL 938.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 14.6 million. The amount includes USD 10.3 million invested in Valhall and Hod fields which is mainly related to well interventions, Sulfate removal unit project and PDO work for Valhall PWP project. In addition, USD 4.3 million was related to completion and commissioning activities on the acquired Nova field.

Financial position

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 191.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter, down from USD 248 million at the end of third quarter 2022. The final repayment of the EFF facility was made in Q4 2022 after which it was expired. The debt consists of bond debt of USD 75 million and RBL drawdown of USD 116.5 million. The company has a low leverage ratio with a net debt / EBITDAX of 1.0x and is in a strong financial position.

Financial risk management

In order to reduce the risk related to oil price fluctuations, the company has established an oil price hedging programme. At the end of December 2022, Pandion Energy had entered into hedging contracts for the period up to and including Q4 2023. The hedging program is based on put options.

At the end of December, 51% of the after tax (14% of pre tax) crude oil production volumes up to the end of 2023 had been hedged at an average floor price of 52 USD/bbl (USD 49.8/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.

Current hedging positions is sufficient to cover the current hedging requirements in the RBL agreement.

The company has recognised a realised loss from hedging in Q4 2022 presented as other income. The loss amounted to USD 0.2 million.

Operational review

Exploration and evaluation activities Nova field

On 2 December, Pandion Energy announced a discovery with commercial potential following drilling on the Calypso prospect in PL 938 in the Norwegian Sea. Pandion Energy holds a 20 per cent participating interest in the production license which is operated by Neptune Energy.

The Calypso discovery is the company`s fifth consecutive discovery in mature areas on the NCS . The partners in the Calypso license are considering options to effectively develop the discovery using nearby infrastructure.

The Calypso discovery is located 14 kilometres north-west of the Draugen field and 22 kilometres north-east of the Njord A platform.

Production from the Nova field was 1.7 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion (including compensation volume).

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 Q4 2022 was 985 barrels of oil equivalent per day net from Pandion.

The production was lower than expected during the quarter due to issues with the water injection wells. Some of the issues were successfully resolved by an Inspection Maintenance Repair operation in December.

A side-track water injection well will be drilled in May 2023 to increase the water injection volume and effect on production. Further actions to improve water injection on the field are under evaluation.

Operational review

Valhall and Hod fields

Production from Valhall and Hod fields was 6.2 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion, up from 5.6 mboepd in the previous quarter due to continued ramp-up at Hod as well as improved regularity. One new infill well on Valhall Flank West was put on production in the quarter. Production efficiency was at 89 percent.

The Noble Integrator rig continues to support stimulation and intervention activities and bring more wells up to their full production potential at Valhall. Towards the end of the first quarter 2023, the rig will be relocated to Hod to embark on the first phase of a campaign to permanently plug and abandon eight wells at the old Hod A platform.

The Plan for Development and Operations (PDO) for the joint Valhall PWP & Fenris development project was submitted to the authorities in December 2022. The selected development concept consists of a new centrally located production and wellhead platform (PWP) bridge-linked to the Valhall central complex. Total recoverable resources for Valhall are estimated 70 mmboe at Valhall. Production start is planned for the second quarter 2027.

The project will involve a modernisation of Valhall that ensures continued operation when parts of the current infrastructure are to be phased out in 2028, thus enabling production of the remaining Valhall reserves from 2029 onwards.

Other activities

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.

Segment information and disaggregation of revenue

All revenues are generated from activities on the Norwegian continental shelf, and derives from sale of oil, gas and NGL. As a result, Pandion Energy has decided not to include segment information as this would only state the same financials already presented in the income statement and balance sheet.

The company's revenue is disaggregated as follows:

Note 4 Impairments

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 Q4 2022, two categories of impairment tests have been performed:

  • Impairment test of oil and gas assets and related intangible assets
  • Impairment test of technical goodwill

In the assessment of whether an impairment is required at 31 December 2022, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve from the beginning of 2023 to the end of 2024, a mean of market participant view from 2025 to 2028, and a 2% inflation of the 2028 market participant view from 2029 and onwards, a future cost inflation rate of 2% per annum and a discount rate of 10% to calculate the future post tax cash flows.

No impairments of oil and gas assets and related intangible assets or technical goodwill were recognised in Q4 2022.

Net financial items (3 742) (3 339) (26 836) (16 917)

The increase in interest expenses in Q4 is due to increased borrowings following debt refinancing process completed in June 2022 combined with increased interest rates.

The increase in amortised loan costs in year to date is explained by derecognition of capitalised loan costs in relation to refinancing of RBL and the senior unsecured bond debt in Q2 2022.

44 % 136 % (93 %) Effective tax rate 91 % 20%

Income taxes for the full year 2022 is estimated to be USD 82.6 million, an increase from USD 1.3 million for the full year 2021. The increase is mainly due to higher profits in 2022 following higher realised oil and gas prices. The effective tax rate in 2022 is 91% compared to 20% in 2021. The difference from the statutory tax rate of 78% in 2022 is mainly related to financial items only deductible in corporate tax and exchange rate effects, partly offset by uplift. The effective tax rate in Q4 2022 is 44%, compared to 136% in Q3 2022, which is significantly impacted by USDNOK currency fluctuations during the respective periods.

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 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:
