  • › Reported Q1 revenue was USD 19.0 million (Q4 2024: USD 106.3 million) of which USD 13.2 million was generated from the sale of 189,443 barrels at an average realised price of USD 69.92 per barrel after customary adjustments and fees
  • › Q1 EBITDA was USD 15.3 million (Q4 2024: USD 50.8 million) with a loss before tax of USD 5.4 million (Q4 2024: USD 31.7 million profit) and net loss for the period of USD 13.1 million (Q4 2024: USD 36.2 million profit)
  • › Net cash outflow from operations was USD 19.9 million (Q4 2024: USD 30.9 million net inflow) with capital expenditure of USD 6.8 million (Q4 2024: USD 28.3 million)
  • › The Company expects full-year 2025 capital expenditures to be approximately USD 40 million, an increase from prior guidance of USD 35 million following the successful Bourdon discovery and subsequent appraisal side-track well offshore Gabon which has established the basis for a new future development cluster on the Dussafu block
  • › Cash at bank at 31 March 2025 was USD 51.8 million and includes advances taken against future oil liftings of USD 16.0 million
  • › Post period end a lifting of 933,136 barrels was completed offshore Gabon in mid-April at an average realised price after customary adjustments, effect of hedging and fees of approximately USD 66 per barrel, resulting in proceeds of USD 61.7 million

  • › In line with the Company's previously communicated 2025 shareholder returns policy, permitted distributions for calendar year 2025 are USD 45 million (NOK equivalent) inclusive of all amounts returned year-to-date

› The Company has completed its up to NOK 100 million share buyback programme which was initiated on 23 May 2024. Under the programme Panoro purchased a total of 3,500,000 shares at a weighted average price of NOK 28.4808 per share, corresponding to 2.993 per cent of Panoro's share capital. Subject to approvals at the 2025 AGM the shares purchased under the buyback programme will be cancelled. Renewed authorisation for further share buybacks will be sought at the 2025 AGM

2024 Annual Statement of Reserves

  • › In April the Company reported a 22 per cent year-on-year increase in net 2P reserves and an organic reserve replacement ratio in 2024 of 309 per cent
  • › After taking account of 2024 production of 3.6 MMbbls the total net working interest reserves for Panoro expressed in MMbbls as of 31 December 2024 were:
    • o 1P reserves of 29.54 MMbbls (31 December 2023: 23.22 MMbbls)
    • o 2P reserves of 42.27 MMbbls (31 December 2023: 34.67 MMbbls)
    • o 3P reserves of 57.01 MMbbls (31 December 2023: 46.52 MMbbls)
  • › 2P reserves at 31 December 2024 reflect an organic reserve addition of 11.2 MMbbls primarily in relation to the Hibiscus South Extension and Hibiscus North Flank discoveries made during 2024 offshore Gabon, stronger than expected well performance across the Hibiscus area offshore Gabon and re-classification of certain contingent resources at Block G offshore Equatorial Guinea in line with the operator's planning. This represents a 309 percent organic reserve replacement ratio of volumes produced during the year
  • › In addition to stated reserves Panoro also has a 2C contingent resource base of 25.6 MMbbls

Significant Oil Discovery Offshore Gabon

  • › On 7 March the Company announced that a significant new oil discovery had been made at the Bourdon prospect, located on the Dussafu block offshore Gabon
  • › The well was drilled to a total depth of 4,135 metres with the Borr Norve jack-up rig. Evaluation of logging and pressure data confirmed that approximately 34 metres of net oil pay in an overall column of 45 metres has been encountered in the prolific Gamba reservoir formation. This is the largest hydrocarbon column discovered to date at Dussafu
  • › On 22 April the Company announced that an appraisal side-track well encountered approximately 11 metres of net oil pay in a gross column of approximately 35 metres in the Gamba reservoir formation. Based on preliminary analysis of data the operator estimates the Bourdon discovery to hold approximately 56 million barrels of oil in place of which approximately 25 million barrels are considered recoverable
  • › The discovery is located approximately 13 kilometres west of the BW Adolo FPSO and 9 kilometres southeast of the MaBoMo production facility

Exploration Portfolio

  • › EG-23 (Equatorial Guinea, Panoro 80.0 percent, operator): Initiated seismic reprocessing and subsurface studies
  • › EG-01 (Equatorial Guinea, Panoro 56.0 percent, operator): Finalising prospect inventory for possible drilling phase
  • › Niosi / Guduma Blocks (Gabon, Panoro 25.0 percent): Planning underway for seismic data acquisition
  • › ER 376 (South Africa, Panoro 100 percent): awaiting approval of Exploration Right application

* Crude oil inventory and over/underlift movements form part of cost of sales and are valued using a cost per barrel that includes operating costs and depreciation, resulting in negative cost of sales during periods of limited or no liftings.

Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax is considered by the Group to be a useful non-GAAP financial measure to help understand underlying operational performance. The foregoing analysis has also been performed including, on an adjusted basis, the Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax from continuing operations of the Group. A reconciliation with adjustments to arrive at the Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax from continuing operations is included in the table below:

Q1 Q4 Q1
2025 2024 2024
Amounts in USD 000 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited)
Net income/(loss) before tax - continuing operations (5,390) 27,082 20,982
Share based payments 496 508 434
Non-recurring items 260 101 289
Loss/(gain) on investment - 6 -
Underlying operating profit/(loss) before tax (4,634) 27,697 21,705

Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Underlying Operating Profit/(loss) before tax as Net income (loss) from continuing operations before tax adjusted for (i) Share based payment charges, (ii) unrealised (gain) loss on commodity hedges, (iii) (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (iv) impairments write-off's and reversals, and (v) similar other material items which management believes affect the comparability of operating results. We believe that Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax and other similar measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the oil and gas sector and will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods, among securities analysts, as well as company by company. Because EBITDA and Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, these measures as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
