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 ("RBL") facility agreement dated 2 June 2022
  • Bond terms for senior unsecured bond dated 2 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 based on 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 7 February 2022, 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 2023.

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 2023, except from the change in the accounting policy for abandonment provisions made in Q1 2024. In line with the development in industry practice with regards to the interpretation of the relevant guidelines in IAS 37, the company has changed the discount rate for calculating abandonment provisions so that this no longer includes a credit element. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly. As a result, the company has recorded the difference between the remeasured abandonment provision and the historical abandonment provision on 1 January 2023 as an adjustment

to property, plant and equipment. The increased property, plant and equipment has led to an impairment charge of goodwill in the income statement in 2023.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the financial statements for 2023.

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

In Q4 2024, the company generated total revenues of USD 59.4 million, down from USD 62.1 million in the same period last year. The decline was primarily driven by lower oil prices and a reduced volume of oil sold. However, this was partially offset by higher gas and NGL prices, as well as an increased volume of gas and NGL sold.

During Q4 2024, average realised oil price before hedging was USD 77.4 per boe, compared to USD 85.0 per boe achieved in Q4 2023. The average realised gas price in Q4 2024 was USD 81.3 per boe, an increase from USD 76.6 per boe in the same period last year. The combined average realised price for oil, gas and NGL during the quarter was USD 75.9 per boe compared to USD 83.6 per boe achieved in Q4 2023.

The volume of oil sold was 601 kboe in Q4 2024 compared to 682 kboe in Q4 2023. The volume of gas sold was 129 kboe in Q4 2024 compared to 66 kboe in Q4 2023. The total volume of oil, gas and NGL sold during the quarter was 778 kboe compared to 755 kboe in Q4 2023.

Operating expenses and financial results

In Q4 2024, the company's EBITDAX reached USD 49.2 million, a decrease from USD 57.0 million achieved in the same period last year. The lower EBITDAX can be attributed to the decreased revenues during the quarter and increased operating expenses.

Operating expenses amounted to USD 10.2 million in Q4 2024 compared to USD 5.1 million in Q4 2023. The increase is mainly related to change in value of deferral settlement which amounted to USD (5.8) million in Q4 2023.

The profit from operating activities came at USD 22.0 million, an increase from USD (0.9) million in Q4 2023. The improvement is mainly due to lower impairment, i.e. USD 14.9 million in Q4 2024 compared to USD 36.5 million in 2023. The latter was related to a change in accounting policy for abandonment provision.

Financial review

Capital expenditures

Investments in exploration and evaluation assets totalled USD 6.7 million in Q4 2024, primarily related to the commencement of drilling the PL 1119 Mistral South exploration well. In addition, investments were made in relation to the upcoming drilling activities on the Slagugle discovery and Horatio prospect in 2025, along with the evaluation of the PL 929 Ofelia discoveries toward DG1. .

Investments in fixed in Q4 2024 amounted to USD 20.8 million, incl. USD 15.4 in the Valhall and Hod fields, of which most in the PWP project. The remaining USD 5.4 million is related to Nova field and mainly start of drilling of a new water injection well.

Financial position

As of the end of Q4 2024, the company's interest-bearing debt increased by USD 0.5 million from Q3 2024, bringing the total to USD 93.5 million. The debt is comprised of a bond loan of USD 75 million and a RBL drawdown of USD 18.5 million. Overall, the company maintains its strong financial position with a leverage ratio of only 0.4x net debt/EBITDAX.

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 2024, 62% of the after-tax (18% of pre-tax) crude oil production volumes up to the end of 2025 had been hedged at an average floor price of 54 USD/bbl (USD 52/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 Q4 2024 presented as other income. The loss amounted to USD 0.2 million.

Operational review

Valhall and Hod fields Nova field

In the fourth quarter the Valhall & Hod fields operated with a high plant uptime and continued production with a very short backlog of well interventions. As result production efficiency was 94 percent and the production increased to 5.8 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion Energy.

The partnership continues to identify upside potential in the area, and two new infill targets are being matured towards an investment decision in the first quarter 2025.

The Valhall PWP project progressed as planned during the fourth quarter, with fabrication and construction activities advancing at multiple sites. Modification work is ongoing at the Valhall facilities.

In the fourth quarter 2024, production from the Nova field increased to 2.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day, net to Pandion Energy. Production efficiency was 99 percent.

The Nova field licence group has compensated the Gjøa licence group for deferred production due to the tie-in operations. This volume is currently being redelivered to Nova. The compensation volume in Q4 2024 was 0.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day net to Pandion Energy.

The water injection system at Nova has periodically been shut in and hold back due operational constraints. This has caused some limitations on production. Mitigating initiatives are continuously being assessed.

A fourth water injector well at Nova was spudded in early December and completed in January 2025. The well has commenced injection with very good response so far. This is expected to increase field performance further.

Operational review

Exploration and evaluation activities

An exploration well on the Mistral South prospect in PL 1119 was spudded late December 2024 and completion is expected in the first quarter 2025. The PL 1109 joint venture prepared for drilling on the Horatio prospect with spud and completion expected in Q1 2025. The company holds a 20 per cent interest in both licences.

Ongoing well planning took place to facilitate the drilling process of the second appraisal well on the Slagugle discovery (PL 891), expected to spud in Q1 2025. The company holds a 20 per cent interest in the discovery.

The PL 929 joint venture is currently maturing the Ofelia discoveries towards a development decision. DG1 (BOK) was reached in December 2024. With its proximity to Gjøa, this is potentially a fast track, cost-effective and low-carbon development.

In December 2024, Pandion Energy signed an agreement with Vår Energi ASA to divest its 7.5% participating interest in PL 820S and PL 820BS with effective date 1 January 2025. The transaction is pending approval by the Ministry of Energy.

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.

Note 5 Impairments

Impairment tests of individual cash-generating units are performed when impairment/reversal 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. Prior period impairment of goodwill is not subject to reversal.

In Q4 2024, two categories of impairment tests have been performed:

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

When assessing whether an impairment is required on 31 December 2024, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve in 2025 and 2026, a mean of market participant view for 2027 to 2029 and 70.0 USD per boe in real terms from 2030 and onwards. An inflation rate of 2 per cent per annum and a discount rate of 9 per cent have been applied to calculate the future post-tax cash flows. Below is an overview of the key assumptions applied for impairment testing purposes as of 31 December 2024.

2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030
Brent oil price, USD/boe, in real 2024 terms 72 71 68 72 68 70
Currency rates, USD/NOK 11,4 11,3 11,1 10,8 10,5 10,3

In Q4 2024, an impairment loss of USD 3.2 million was recognised on the Nova field. This is linked to a downward revision of the reserves. No further impairments of oil and gas assets and related intangible assets or technical goodwill were recognised in Q2 2024.
