Dear Friends and Shareholders,
It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I address you as Maha's new CEO. The first quarter 2025 was another important quarter for Maha, as we begin to execute on our strategic shift toward a leaner and more costefficient organization, while significant progress was made in our key projects and investments. We have seen strong operational improvements in Brava Energia, a conclusion of the technical preparations in Venezuela and a steady development in the Illinois Basin. Maha is well-positioned to deliver sustainable long-term value creation.
Brava Energia delivered record Q1 2025 output of 70,815 boepd—up 80% from Q4 2024- as the production was restarted at its key offshore fields (Atlanta and Papa Terra fields and the acquisition of 23% stake in the highquality Parque das Conchas Cluster was finalized. During April, we saw further growth as two more Atlanta wells came online. We expect total production to continue to increase. Despite global oil price volatility, Brava remains strongly positioned to generate robust cash flow and execute on a deleveraging path. We remain confident that the turnaround is underway, with further progress expected in the coming months.
In Venezuela, we reported the initial results from the Mesas Técnicas on the PetroUrdaneta fields, highlighting total projected production of ~84 million barrels of oil and 167 Bscf of gas, with peak output expected around 40,000 boepd (full fields). Q2 brought the conclusion of technical assessments, with just small expenditures expected until final contracts and licenses we target are secured. Negotiations with local authorities are progressing constructively, and we continue to pursue a strong contractual framework.
In the Illinois Basin, production has slightly declined in line with expectations, reflecting the natural depletion of wells from last year's successful campaign. We are finalizing a new 2025 drilling plan focused on high-return wells, while monitoring oil price trends for signs of stabilization or upside.
In line with Maha's new strategic direction, we are streamlining operations and optimizing our cost structure. By simplifying the corporate structure and reducing the number of legal entities, we anticipate meaningful reductions in G&A.
Finally, we are actively positioning Maha as an active financial investor in the energy and minerals sectors. The Company is debt free and maintains a strong balance sheet. During Q1 2025 our liquidity was further enhanced when we received an MUSD 4.4 oil price-related earn-out in Q1 2025, stemming from the 2023 sale of the Tie and Tartaruga fields to PetroRecôncavo. At the end of Q1, our total balance of available cash and liquid investments amounted to MUSD 106. It is my ambition to lead Maha into a new phase of disciplined, high-return growth, expanding our portfolio with select opportunities that align with our strategic vision.
Roberto Marchiori CEO
Maha holds 100% working interest in Illinois basin located in the USA, with 2P reserves of 2.6 mmboe, as per year end 2024. Average daily production volumes in the Illinois Basin during Q1 2025 decreased by 6%, mainly due to natural decline in producing wells.
The wells from 2024 drilling program were completed and put into production in Q3 2024.
As per the end of Q1 2025, Maha held approximately 22 million shares of Brava Energia, corresponding to 4.76% of its total shares. With around 700 million barrels of proven and probable (2P) reserves, Brava Energia ranks among Latin America's largest independent E&P companies.
Brava Energia is expected to have substantial production growth in 2025. Brava reported a production of 70,815 boepd for Q1 2025. This represents an 80% increase compared to Q4 2024 (39,350 boepd), primarily driven by the resumption of production at the offshore fields, Atlanta and Papa Terra. Additionally, approximately 6,300 boepd were added following the acquisition of a 23% interest in the Parque das Conchas Cluster. At the Atlanta field, nearly 19,000 boepd was produced from two active wells (6H and 7H). Production in April 2025 increased further to 81,822 boepd, up 16% compared to Q1 2025. At Atlanta, Brava finished the connection of two additional wells (4H and 5H) on 13 April 2025. The final two additional wells are scheduled for completion in June 2025 (2H and 3H). After the optimization stage of the power generation system completed in March 2025, the Papa Terra field had in April 2025 a net working interest production of 11,413 boepd - the best month of production since December 2023 (11,878 boepd). In addition, the resumption of production at the Manati field is expected for May 2025.
In March 2024, Maha signed definitive agreements with Novonor and paid EUR 4.6 million, securing until November 2025 the exclusive right to acquire 60% of Novonor's Spanish vehicle, which holds a 40% equity interest in PetroUrdaneta.
In December 2024, technical and operational discussions were initiated between the relevant stakeholders aiming to define the re-development plan for the fields. In Q1 2025, Maha agreed with the main assumptions of the updated business plan with a total projected production volume of approximately 84 million barrels of oil and 167 Bscf of gas until 2037. In Q2 2025 the development plan for the PetroUrdaneta fields was concluded after approval from CVP/ PDVSA.
The Company continues to comply with all applicable regulations and conducts thorough due diligence in relation to its potential investment in Venezuela.
In Q4 2023, Maha agreed to divest its subsidiary Maha Oman, which holds a 65% interest in Block 70, to Mafraq Energy LLC. As of December 1, 2023, Mafraq assumed responsibility for all future operational costs. The Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) was signed in January 2024, transferring all related liabilities from Maha. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent.
Consequently, the Oman operations were reclassified in December 2023 as assets held for sale and discontinued operations (Note 5).
(Comparisons are made with the same period last year, unless otherwise stated.)
Production volumes are equivalent to Maha's working interest of produced volumes before the deduction of royalties. The Company's continuing operations are related to the oil and gas assets in the Illinois Basin. Average daily production volumes in the Illinois Basin during Q1 2025 decreased by 6% due to natural decline in producing wells.


Revenue for Q1 2025 amounted to TUSD 1,897 (Q1 2024: TUSD 2,167), representing a decrease of 12%, mainly driven by lower realized oil prices and sales volume (Note 4).
| Revenue (TUSD) | Q1 2025 | Q4 2024 | Q3 2024 | Q2 2024 | Q1 2024 | FY 2024 |

Production costs for continuing operations decreased by 15%. This reduction reflects the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize operations and reduce costs, resulting in improved operational efficiency. A clear indicator is the decrease in production expenses per barrel, which decreased 12% from USD 17/bbl to USD 15/bbl.

Operating netback is a non-GAAP financial metric used in the oil and gas industry to compare internal performance with industry peers and is calculated as revenue deducted from royalties and production costs. The operating netback for the first quarter decreased by 8%, mainly due to the decrease in oil realized price.


General and administration ("G&A") expenses are indirect corporate costs that are associated with running a business. In Q1 2025, G&A expenses totaled TUSD 2,791, reflecting an 8% increase (including discontinued operations).
Non-recurring G&A expenses were mainly related to extraordinary consultants and legal fees related to the exploration of new business opportunities, and potential M&A Transactions, among others.
Recurring G&A (General and Administrative Expenses) refers to periodic costs to keep the Company in an ongoing process, excluding the one-off or irregular expenses.

EBITDA increase to TUSD 2,083 (Q1 2024: TUSD 729). This improvement was mainly driven by the earnout of TUSD 4,410 received from PetroRecôncavo and the TUSD 200 dividend received from the Bolivian Pipeline asset (2B Ametrino).

Business activities for Maha Energy AB focuses on a) management of all group affiliates, subsidiaries, and foreign operations; b) management of publicly listed Swedish entity; c) fundraising as required for acquisitions and group business growth; and d) business development.
The net result for the Parent Company for Q1 2025 amounted to TSEK 109,107 (Q1 2024: TSEK 23,268), mainly due to dividends received from its Luxembourg subsidiary and the unrealized gain resulting from the fair value of Brava Energia shares. In addition, foreign currency exchange loss amounted to TSEK (101,471) (Q1 2024: TSEK (40,571)).
