Introduction

General information

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

  • The revolving exploration finance facility agreement dated 13 November 2017
  • The borrowing base facility agreement dated 9 April 2018
  • Bond terms for senior unsecured bond dated 3 April 2018

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 2020.

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 ended 31 December 2020.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the financial statements for 2020.

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

Total revenues was USD 42.3 (14.0 in Q4 20) million, mainly related to sale of hydrocarbons from the Valhall and Hod fields. The increased revenue was impacted by higher commodity prices with an average realised oil price before hedging of USD 80.6 (USD 45.5 in Q4 2020) per bbl combined with higher oil volume sold (436 kboe in Q4 2021 compared to 274 in Q4 2020).

EBITDAX amounted to USD 33.7 million (11.6 in Q4 2020) with the increase compared to Q4 2020 mainly driven by higher revenues. Profit from operating activities was USD -12.2 million (-31.8 in Q4 2020) driven by higher exploration expenses offsetting the effect of increased revenues. Higher exploration expenses in Q4 2021 compared to Q4 2020 are mainly explained by write-down of previously capitalised exploration expenditures related to downward adjustment of the resource estimate in PL 820 S Iving discovery, and relinquishment decision in relation to licences PL 1047 and PL 1062.

The operating expenses including production expenses, inventory movements and tariff and transportation expenses amounted to USD 8.7 (2.5 in Q4 2020) million. The increase from the comparative period previous year is mainly explained by higher sales quantities.

Investments in fixed assets during Q4 amounted to USD 25.8 million driven by investments in the Valhall & Hod fields, mainly Hod Development project and stimulation and intervention activities on Valhall.

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 135.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter, down from USD 171.1 million at the end of the third quarter of 2021.

Financial review

Pandion Energy has a robust and diversified capital structure made up of committed equity and a debt financing pack. USD 190 million has been committed from Kerogen, of which USD 109 million has been injected as of 31 December 2021 in addition to injected capital from the Pandion Energy team.

The current debt financing package includes a Reserve Based Lending Facility of USD 150 million (the "RBL facility"), and a senior Unsecured Bond Loan of NOK 400 million (the "Unsecured Bond). The current borrowing base in the RBL facility is USD 150 million. The company has also extended the Exploration Finance facility ("EFF") of NOK 400 million by one year. The EFF can be drawn until 31.12.2022 with repayment in Q4 2023.

The company has a low leverage versus EBITDAX and is in a strong financial position.

The arrangement with negative tax instalment means that the refund of the tax value of losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 will be refunded in advance of the tax assessment on a running basis through the instalment tax regime, and provide the company with a significant liquidity boost and unique investment conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2021 Pandion Energy received refunds from tax instalments of net amount of USD 5.8 million.

Exploration

In July 2021, The drilling of appraisal wells on the Iving oil and gas discovery (PL 820S) were concluded. The results showed that the appraisal wells would lead to a downward adjustment of the resource estimate. The feasibility of a commercial discovery has been evaluated, and the project has now been assessed as non-commercial. The capitalised costs in the licence have been expensed.

Hedging

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 2021, Pandion Energy had put in place a hedging programme until end of 2022. The hedging program is based on a combination of put options and collar structures.

At the end of December, 54% of after tax (15% of pre tax) crude oil production volumes has been hedged up to the end of 2022 at an average floor price of 47.6 USD/bbl (USD 44.6/bbl net of costs). Additional positions may be added to the program going forward, however, the structure, amount 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 2021 presented as other income, the loss amounted to USD 1.6 million.

Operational review

Valhall and Hod fields

Production from Valhall was 5.1 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion, an increase of 11 percent from the previous quarter driven by higher production efficiency.

The Hod field development and integration activities between Hod B and the Valhall field centre progressed according to plan, and the subsea installation activities commenced in the fourth quarter. Production start from Hod was originally planned for first quarter 2022 but is now expected to be in second quarter due to late arrival of an installation vessel. The jack-up rig Maersk Invincible completed drilling of four wells in the quarter, while the two final wells in the six-well program will be drilled in the first quarter 2022. Meanwhile, the Hod A plug and abandonment (P&A) project, which covers permanent P&A of eight wells, passed decision gate 2 (DG2), and a final investment decision is expected in the second quarter.

During the fourth quarter, a final investment decision was taken on an additional infill well on Valhall Flank West. The well will be drilled by the Maersk Invincible jack-up rig after finishing the six-well program at the

Hod field development. The Maersk Reacher rig continued to support stimulation and intervention activity, bringing more wells up to their full production potential.

The Sulfate Removal Unit (SRU) reached the final investment decision in the fourth quarter. The objective of the SRU project is to provide highquality injection water for Valhall, substantially reducing issues related to hydrogen sulphide and scaling. The project will have a positive effect on work environment, chemicals consumption (opex) and shut-in of production wells. Completion of the project is scheduled for the second quarter 2024.

Operational review continued

Finally, the joint Valhall NCP & King Lear project passed DG2 in the fourth quarter and has entered the project maturing phase. The concept consists of a new process and wellhead platform (NCP) which will have a bridge connection to the Valhall field centre, located approximately 50 km from the field centre. The project will be connected to the existing power from shore solution at Valhall, resulting in close to zero emissions from operations.

The project will add new slots for further development of the Valhall area and the concept also includes considerable modification work on the Valhall field centre to facilitate recovery of additional barrels. The project is progressing towards a final investment decision in fourth quarter 2022, in time to be covered by the temporary tax scheme. First oil is scheduled for 2027.

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).

Carrying amount at 31 December 2021 63 138 42 933 106 071

The amount of Goodwill is entirely related to the acquisition of interest in the Valhall and Hod oil fields.

Expensed exploration expenditures in 2021 were related to dry well in PL 617 (Eidsvoll), downward adjustment of the resource estimate in PL 820 S Iving discovery, and relinquishment decision in relation to licences PL 1047 and PL 1062.

Note 3 Impairments

The remaining goodwill as at 31 December 2021 amounted to USD 63.1 million and consists of technical goodwill related to the requirement to recognise deferred tax for the difference between the assigned fair values and the related tax base by purchase of Valhall & Hod fields. Prior period impairment of goodwill is not subject to reversal.

Technical goodwill is tested for impairment separately for Valhall & Hod fields which gave rise to the technical goodwill. The carrying value of Valhall & Hod fields consists of the carrying values of the oil field assets plus associated technical goodwill. When deferred tax liabilities from the acquisitions decreases as a result of depreciation, more technical goodwill as a result is exposed for impairment.

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 2021, 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 2021, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve from the beginning of 2022 to the end of 2023, a mean of market participant view from 2024 to 2027 and a 2% inflation of the 2027 market participant view from 2028 and onwards, a future cost inflation rate of 2% per annum and a discount rate of 8% to calculate the future post tax cash flows.

Following the increased oil price environment during 2021, no impairment indicators have been identified at the end of 2021 and the company has not recognised any impairment in 2021.

Share capital of NOK 918,578,319.45 comprised 911,921,294 of shares at a nominal value of NOK 1.0073. The company's share capital was decreased by NOK 909,459,106.51 to NOK 9 119 212.94 on 3 November 2021, carried out by reduction of the par value of the company's shares. The share capital decrease shall be used as allocation to funds. The finalisation of the decrease is pending expiry of creditor notice period as at 31.12.2021.

Pandion Energy Holding AS owns all 911,921,294 shares as at 31 December 2021. The company is included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company Pandion Energy Holding AS.

A Subscription and Investment Agreement between Pandion Energy Holding and Kerogen has been executed for USD 190 million in equity, of which USD 109 million has been injected as of 31 December 2021 in addition to capital from the Pandion Energy team.

The capital of USD 190 million is committed to Pandion Energy Holding AS and can be drawn upon approval of the Board of company. Kerogen has further a right, however not an obligation to provide additional funds in an amount up to USD 110 million, resulting in an aggregate funding up to USD 300 million.

The calculations assume an inflation rate of 2.0 per cent and a nominal rate before tax of 4.0 per cent.

During 2021, the ARO liability have increased by USD 17.8 million. ARO provisions have increased by USD 14.0 million related to new wells and installation of the new Hod B platform. Asset removal obligation assumption has further increased by USD 17.8 million due to increased service rate assumed on P&A activities and increased cost of WP removal. The cost of WP has increased after a third party feasibility study and the fact that it has a close proximity to the IP platform which shall not be removed at the same time. The increased liability was partly offset by removal cost of USD 20.1 million in 2021. The accretion of ARO increased the liability with USD 6.1 million.

At 31 December 2021 USD 67 000 83 000 LIBOR + 3.25% July 2026(1) 65 429
At 31 December 2020 USD 83 500 66 500 LIBOR + 3.50% July 2026 81 424

The RBL facility was established in 2018 and is a senior secured seven-year facility. In 2019 the RBL lenders approved to postpone the Final Maturity Date from 9 April 2025 to 1 July 2026. The facility is at USD 150 million with an additional uncommitted accordion option of USD 150 million. The interest rate is from 1-6 months LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%. The margin was reduced from 3.5% to 3.25% per annum due to the Company delivering positive cash flow for a twelve months preceding period to the accounting end date of the second quarter Financial statements. In addition, a commitment fee is paid for unused credits.

(1)The RBL facility is at year end classified as current liabilities due to final maturity date being defined as the earliest of July 2026 and the date falling 6 months prior to the maturity date of the current bond debt. The company intends to refinance the Bond in full prior to fall 2022, but such refinancing will find place after the reporting period and is considered to be a non-adjusting event.

Note 9 Leasing and commitments

Pandion Energy has recognised the lease related to office facilities as a lease after IFRS 16. The original contract runs for five years from 2019 and contains a renewal option for another three years. The lease does not contain any restriction on the company's dividend policy or financing.

The company applies exemption for short term leases (12 months or less) and low value leases. Extension options are included when it, based on management's judgement, is reasonably certain to be exercised. The incremental borrowing rate applied in discounting of the nominal lease debt is 7 per cent. Right-of-use assets are depreciated linearly over the lifetime of the lease contract.

Note 9 Leasing and commitments cont.

Pandion Energy is a non-operator and recognises its proportionate share of a lease when Pandion Energy is considered to share the primary responsibility for a licence committed liability. This includes contracts where Pandion has co-signed a lease contract, or contracts for which the operator has been given a legally binding mandate to sign the external lease on behalf of the licence partners. Pandion Energy has assessed the lease contracts in its licences and based on Pandion Energy's judgement no leases have been recognised in the balance sheet as of 31 December 2021.

The company has commitments pertaining to its ownership in partner operated oil and gas fields where the operator has entered into lease agreements for rigs in the licence. For Valhall, the operator has entered into a lease agreement for Maersk Invincible, delivered in May 2017. The contract period is five years, with an additional two years option period.

Note 10 Tax

Certain temporary changes in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax Law were enacted on 19 June 2020. These changes included a temporary ruling for depreciation and uplift, whereas all investments incurred for income years 2020 and 2021 including 24 per cent uplift can be deducted from the basis for special tax in the year of investment. These changes also apply for all investments according to Plans for Development and Operation delivered within 31 December 2022 and approved within 31 December 2023. In addition, the tax value of any losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 will be refunded from the state. The tax effect of the temporary changes is included as of 31.12.2021 and contributes to increase in deferred tax liabilities.

Note 11 Contingent liabilities and assets

The company has secondary obligation for removal cost of offshore installations related to 20% share in the divested Duva field. The obligation is estimated to nominal value of approximately USD 6.6 million. The company has future contractual obligations related to development projects in non operated licences of approximately USD 4.3 million, mainly related to the Hod Development project with first oil expected in Q2 2022.

Pandion Energy is further required to participate in the approved work programmes for the licences. The company's operations involve risk of damages, including pollution. The company has insured its pro rata liability on the NCS on a par with other oil companies.

The company was not subject to any legal disputes at 31 December 2021.

Note 12 Subsequent events

In January 2022, Pandion Energy AS was awarded three licences under the 2021 APA (Award in Predefined Areas) licence round on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The areas awarded include two new licences, where one is planned to be matured alongside PL 891 where the partnership is currently preparing to drill the first appraisal well on the Slagugle discovery made in 2020. One additional acreage in a licence (PL 263) already existing in the portfolio was also awarded.
