Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) Third quarter 2018
These interim finacial 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.
Change in functional currency IAS 21 states that an entity is required to determine a functional currency based on the primary economic environment in which it operates and generally records foreign currency transactions. Pandion Energy has assessed that the purchase of Valhall and Hod completed 22 December 2017 triggered a change in functional currency from NOK to USD. Main drivers for the change, effective from 1 January 2018 were the associated revenues from sale of crude oil in USD and new financing in USD.
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the bases 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 2017.
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 2018 is the first year with interim financial statements of Pandion Energy, there are no comparable quarterly figures for earlier periods in the report. For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the Financial Statements for 2017.
As described in the company's annual financial statements for 2017, two new accounting standards entered into force from 1 January 2018, IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The implementation of the new standards have not had any material impact on the company's financial statements.
2017 was the first year of operations for the Company, with no operating income or operating expenses during 2017.
Total income was USD 28.2 million, and reported operating profit USD 14.0 million. EBITDAX amounted to USD 18.4 million. Net loss was USD 3.6 million. The total income was driven by revenues related to the Valhall and Hod fields, mainly from oil sales (352 kboe in Q3 compared to 234 kboe in Q2). Average realised oil price was USD 75.5 per bbl in Q3 compared to USD 75.7 per bbl in Q2. The operating expenses amounted to USD 9.5 million. Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 9.2 million, driven by investments in the Valhall field, mainly Flank West and IP drilling program.
Abandonment expenditures were USD 8.4 million, driven by the ongoing campaign to plug and abandon old wells on the Valhall field. The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 129.4 million at the end of the third quarter. Operational review Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 4.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day («mboepd») net to Pandion during third quarter. This represents a seven percent increase from the previous quarter, which was negatively impacted by planned maintenance and reduced production due to drilling operations. As part of the Valhall IP drilling campaign, the operator has tested a new well stimulation method which is expected to significantly reduce the time and cost of new wells. The testing has taken more time than anticipated due to technical difficulties. The first new IP well this year started production in August, several months behind plan. The second well is currently undergoing conventional stimulation, and is expected to start production during the fourth quarter. The P&A campaign at Valhall was completed in early October, and the Maersk Invincible rig has been redeployed to perform drilling elsewhere at the Valhall field. The production efficiency for the Valhall area was 88 percent in the quarter.
The Company has focused on securing liquidity and has entered into an extensive oil price hedging program to reduce the risk related to oil prices. At the end of the third quarter Pandion had put in place a hedging programme through 2019 and Q1 2020. >80% of remaining 2018 pre-tax volumes hedged at USD 55/bbl (USD 53/bbl net of costs) and >70% of 2019 volumes hedged at USD 55/bbl (USD 52/bbl net of costs). For Q1 2020, >40% of the post-tax volumes have been hedged at USD 56/bbl (USD 54/bbl net of costs). The entire existing hedging program is based on put options. Following the increase in the long term oil prices during Q3 the Company had a loss from hedging presented as other gains/(losses).
