Introduction

General information These interim financial statements for Pandion Energy AS ("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 and 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 the Company annual financial statement as at 31 December 2019.

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.

As described in the company's annual financial statements for 2019, The Company has, with effect from 1 January 2019, implemented the amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment features with negative compensation, IAS 19 Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures, IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments and annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017. The implementation of these standards has not had a material impact on the entity in the current reporting period.

From 1 January 2019, the Company has applied IFRS 16 Leases using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the Financial Statements for 2019.

Financial review

Total revenue was USD 15.7 (20.9 in Q2 19) million, and reported operating profit USD -5.7 (-3.2 in Q2 19) million.

EBITDAX amounted to USD 3.8 million (10.6 in Q2 2019). Net income came in at USD -2.9 million (0.2 in Q2 2019).

Revenue was related to oil sales from the Valhall and Hod fields, (450 kboe in Q2 2020 compared to 251 kboe in Q2 2019). The financial results in the quarter were impacted by lower commodity prices with an average realised oil price before hedging of USD 33.6 (72.2 in Q2 2019) per bbl.

The operating expenses amounted to USD 11.9 (10.2 in Q2 2019) million. The increase in the operating expenses is mainly explained by overlift in the second quarter resulting in adjustment to cost of USD 3 million.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 17.9 million driven by investments in the Valhall field, mainly drilling at Flank West and Flank South West, and re-development of the Hod field.

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 166.5 million at the end of the second quarter compared to USD 155.1 million at the end of first quarter 2020.

Financial review cont.

Pandion Energy has a robust and diversified capital structure made up of committed equity of USD 193 million (of which 112 million injected to date), a Reserve Based Lending Facility of USD 150 million (the "RBL facility"), a senior Unsecured Bond Loan of NOK 400 million (the "Unsecured Bond). The current borrowing base in the RBL facility is USD 137.4 million. The Company has also extended the Exploration Finance facility ("EFF") of NOK 400 million by one year. The EFF can be drawn until 31.12.2020 with repayment in Q4 2021.

Provisional tax changes to stimulate investments in the petroleum sector were sanctioned by Norway's parliament on 12 June and provide Pandion Energy with a significant liquidity boost. The main elements of the proposal are:

  • Investments in 2020 and 2021 are immediately tax deductible in the tax base for special tax (56% tax rate)
  • Investments made in 2022 and later may also be immediately deducted in the tax base for special tax if they are made pursuant to inter alia a Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) filed before 1. January 2023 and approved by the Government after 12 May 2020 but before 1 January 2024
  • The uplift is increased to 24% for investments comprised by item 1 and 2 above
  • The tax value of losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 (in both the ordinary tax base and in the special tax base, including the uplift of 24%) will be refunded by the state through negative instalment of tax

For Pandion the negative tax instalment arrangement is of great importance and represent equal treatment of companies in different tax positions. 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.

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 June 2020, Pandion Energy had put in place a hedging programme until end of Q2 2021. Most of the existing hedging program is based on put options, however part of the hedging is collar structures.

At the end of June, 119% of estimated after tax (33% of pre tax) oil production volumes in the period July – December 2020 had been hedged. The average floor in the hedging instruments is 39.4 USD/bbl. The hedging of more than 100% of estimated after tax oil production volumes is solely based on put options and is established in order to protect liquidity. For the period January – June 2021, 42% of after tax (12% of pre tax) oil production volumes has been hedged at an average floor price of 34 USD/bbl. 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.

Following the recovery in the long term oil prices during Q2 2020, the Company has recognised a loss from hedging presented as other income. The loss amounted to USD 1.5 million in Q2 2020, of which USD 3.4 million was realised gain.

Operational review

Valhall & Hod fields

Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 5.2 (5.6 in Q1 2020) thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during second quarter. A slight decrease from previous quarter was mainly driven by a planned shutdown in June, thus Valhall production was not constrained by the production curtailments implemented by the MPE.

At Valhall Flank West two new wells were brought on stream during the quarter. Maersk Invincible has now concluded the nine well drilling campaign, but the rig will remain at Flank West to support stimulation operations. The rig will be moved to the field centre for plugging of wells at the old DP platform later this year.

A plan for development and operations (PDO) for the re-development of the Hod field was submitted to the authorities on 24 June. The project was originally scheduled for approval in March but was put on hold due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent collapse in global demand for oil. The submission of the Hod PDO is a direct consequence of significant positive effects from the provisional amendments to the Petroleum tax Act enacted by the Norwegian parliament in response to the oil price crises emerging in the spring of 2020.

The Hod field will be developed in collaboration with Aker BP's alliance partners with a normally unmanned installation remotely controlled from the Valhall field centre, with very low CO2 emissions due to power from shore. Total investments for the Hod development are estimated at around USD 600 million (gross). Production start is planned for first quarter 2022, and the recoverable reserves are estimated at around 40 million barrels of oil equivalents.

Covid-19 measures and consequenses Other activities

Pandion Energy continue to closely monitor the Covid-19 situation with the objective of making sure necessary measures are taken to protect staff and operations. During the quarter employees have worked from home and been requested to comply with the directions give by the Norwegian health authorities. Pandion Energy is a non-operator and not directly involved in the execution of offshore operations on a day-to day basis. However, as partner in the Valhall & Hod fields the Company is actively in dialogue with the operator to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect offshore personnel against the pandemic. Extensive measures have been implemented by the operator at Valhall area to ensure safe and reliable operations and during second quarter mandatory testing for all offshore personnel has been implemented by Aker BP. To date no virus-related disruption to the Valhall & Hod operations have been reported.

Except for the operations at Valhall & Hod fields, the Company is currently not directly involved in any offshore activities.

In the low oil price environment and the unknown time for recovery to previous scenarios the Company continues to take necessary steps to ensure that the Company remains financially sound also in a scenario with low oil prices for an extended period of time.

Pandion is monitoring the pricing of its senior unsecured bond loan and considers, subject to market conditions, to take advantage of opportunities to repurchase bonds at value-accretive prices. Potential investments in the Company's own bond debt have been permitted by the lenders under the RBL facility.

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).

The amount of Goodwill entirely relates to the acquisition of interest in the Valhall and Hod oil fields. Expensed exploration expenditures previously capitalised is related to relinquished licences.

NOTE 3 IMPAIRMENTS

Q1 2020 included impairment of goodwill amounting to USD 31 million. The amount included impairment of total amount of ordinary goodwill and part of the technical goodwill related to acquisition of interest in the Valhall and Hod oil fields. The remaining goodwill as at 30 June 2020 is USD 93 million, all 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 Q2 2020, 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 further impairment is required at 30 June 2020, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve from the beginning of Q3 2020 to the end of 2021, a mean of market participant view from 2022 to 2025 and a 2% inflation of the 2025 market participant view from 2026 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.

Due to increase in the short-term oil and gas prices no further impairments have been recognised in Q2 2020.

NOTE 10 LEASING AND COMMITMENTS

Pandion Energy adopted the accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases on 1 January 2019. The Company adopted the modified retrospective approach upon transition, which has resulted in all the transition impact being reported as adjustments to opening balances, and comparative periods have not been restated. The difference between the operating lease commitments after IAS 17, as disclosed in the 2019 financial statements, and lease debt recognised at initial application is reconciled in the table below. Short term leases (less than 12 months) and low value leases have not been included. The lease does not contain any restriction on the company's dividend policy or financing. 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.

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 were 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.

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.

In addition, the tax value of any losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 will be refunded from the state.
