Directors' Report pursuant to the Capital Market Rules 5.75.2 (continued)

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

Review of performance

The Group's reported turnover for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 amounted to €32,000,385 (30 June 2022: €26,075,032). The Group's reported adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 amounted to €8,992,633 (30 June 2022: €3,682,708).

After recognising depreciation amounting to €4,499,805 (30 June 2022: €3,412,040), amortisation of intangible assets of €738,293 (30 June 2022: €1,028,186), and impairment loss on property, plant and equipment of €nil (30 June 2022: €17,185), the Group registered an operating profit amounting to €3,754,535 (30 June 2022: operating loss of €774,703).

After deducting the net finance costs amounting to €5,544,185 (30 June 2022: net finance income of €166,223), the Group registered a loss before tax of €1,789,650 (30 June 2022: €608,480). Net finance costs include a one time foreign exchange loss on non-operating activities amounting to €3,992,600 resulting mainly from the devaluation in the exchange rates of the Angolan kwanza and the Egyptian pound during the first half of 2023 (30 June 2022: foreign exchange gain of €2,046,164). As of 30 June 2023, the Group's subsidiary, Verger investimentos Lda, holds cash at bank amounting to €4,878,244 (31 December 2022: €8,926,815) that are subject to exchange controls on remittance outside of the jurisdiction, limiting the Group's ability to access this cash and reduce exposure to foreign exchange losses.

Loss from continuing operations after accounting for taxation amounted to €1,960,936 (30 June 2022: €664,827).

Reported in 'Other Comprehensive Income' are foreign currency translation differences arising from translating the financial results of the Company's subsidiaries to its reporting currency in Euro. This amounts to positive €723,231 (30 June 2022: €1,809,863). In addition, the gain on net investment hedge amounts to €161,810 (30 June 2022: net loss on net investment hedge of €690,385). Total comprehensive income amounts to negative €1,075,895 (30 June 2022: positive €454,651). The increase in EBITDA during H1 2023 has resulted in an improvement in the net cash generated from operating activities to €4.7 million compared to H1 2022.

The Group's equity position of MedservRegis p.l.c. as at the financial reporting date stood at €59.3 million (2022: €60.4 million), representing an decrease of €1.1 million as a result of the negative total comprehensive income generated during the first six months of the year.

Directors' Report pursuant to the Capital Market Rules 5.75.2 (continued)

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

Outlook

The global landscape of the international and offshore markets is witnessing a promising surge in upstream investment momentum. Several factors are propelling this growth:

  • Resilient Long-Cycle Offshore Developments: These developments have consistently shown strength and are a driving force behind the market's growth.
  • Production Capacity Expansions: As the demand for energy sources grows, there's a concerted effort to expand production capacities to meet these demands.
  • Revival of Global Exploration and Appraisal: The renewed interest and investment in global exploration and appraisal activities indicate a robust future for the sector.
  • Gas as a Critical Fuel Source: The global recognition of gas, not just as an energy source, but as a pivotal element for energy security and the ongoing energy transition, underscores its importance in the current market scenario.

This positive trajectory has established a substantial baseload of activity. The belief is that both the duration and magnitude of this upcycle, encompassing both land and offshore sectors, are noteworthy. Our company stands as a testament to this growth, with our esteemed clientele choosing us as their preferred partner.

The latter half of 2023 is expected to see international spending gain even more traction. This ongoing cycle resonates profoundly with our group's core competencies, further bolstering our confidence in achieving our financial goals for the year.

Libya

Economic and Political Climate: As highlighted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Libya stands at a pivotal political crossroads. The forthcoming steps in its political trajectory will have significant security and economic implications. Given the deep-seated divisions among the ruling factions, presidential and parliamentary elections are anticipated to be postponed until 2024. While we project an increase in Libya's oil output from 2023-27, intermittent disruptions in oil production are expected due to persistent political disagreements.

Market Size and Potential: The recent announcement by ENI in January 2023, detailing an \$8 billion investment in Libya, coupled with the lifting of Force Majeure on three operational assets that had been dormant since 2014, underscores the vast potential in the country.

Local Competitors and Market Share: Given the preference of most operators in Libya to manage their offshore operations in Libyan waters from Malta, MedservRegis remains a pivotal player for all stakeholders. With operational capabilities on Libyan terrain, specifically at the base in Misurata, MedservRegis is poised to support all clients from this location.

Directors' Report pursuant to the Capital Market Rules 5.75.2 (continued)

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

Outlook (continued)

Libya (continued)

Clients: Both national and international energy companies, notably ENI and Mellitah Oil & Gas, have initiated equipment inspections currently housed at the company's Malta facility. Service companies engaged in major projects are also liaising with Medserv Operations Ltd to strategize upcoming drilling campaigns. The first batch of materials has been received, with substantial deliveries anticipated by the end of 2023.

Cyprus

Economic and Political Climate: The Economist Intelligence Unit reports that Cyprus' economic activity will decelerate in 2023 but will remain significantly above the subdued growth in the euro areas, bolstered by a robust tourism sector. A considerable government debt load will constrain the fiscal contribution to economic activity. Growth is expected to rebound in 2024 as the euro zone's economic activity stabilizes and the repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine war on growth diminish.

Market Size and Potential: Cyprus has witnessed five substantial gas discoveries since 2011. However, none have transitioned to development despite the involvement of major players offshore. Chevron and its partners at Aphrodite are anticipated to submit concept selection soon, with Nicosia hoping for an FID on Aphrodite within the next year. Decisions on Eni's new gas finds might take longer. This period represents the closest Cyprus has come to realizing its gas ambitions since Aphrodite's 2011 discovery.

Local Competitors and Market Share: Despite competition from local operators, MedservRegis retains a dominant position for upcoming drilling, be it for exploration or development. MedservRegis collaborated with Exxon, Chevron, and ENI for the recent drilling exploration and is also contracted with TotalEnergies.

Egypt

Economic and Political Climate: BNP Paribas indicates that Egypt's macroeconomic indicators are on a downward trajectory. In 2023, economic growth is predicted to decelerate, with CPI inflation reaching significant levels. Unlike other emerging economies, inflation is projected to surge in 2023, primarily due to the depreciation of the pound, with an estimated increase of around 50% annually. Egypt faces challenges in reducing its external imbalances due to a dearth of portfolio investments. While selling public assets to foreign investors could infuse foreign currency liquidity, the timing of the privatization process doesn't align with the urgent need for foreign currency. Consequently, the pound is expected to face downward pressures in the short term.

Directors' Report pursuant to the Capital Market Rules 5.75.2 (continued)

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

Outlook (continued)

Egypt (continued)

Market: Egypt aims to amplify its oil production by 11% in 2023, targeting 650,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) from the current 587,000 bbl/d. The country's annual consumption encompasses approximately 12 million tons of diesel and about 6.7 million tons of gasoline. The year 2022 showcased several positive developments, hinting at promising outcomes for Egypt's hydrocarbon industries in 2023. Deloitte's 2023 Oil and Gas Industry Outlook suggests that natural gas markets will remain tight in 2023, with European and Asian demand absorbing the incremental LNG export volumes. Several countries are implementing measures to ensure energy security in the upcoming years. Deloitte's outlook highlights that various natural gas exporting countries, including Qatar and Israel via Egypt, have announced production boosts. Egypt's Finance Minister, Mohamed Mait, emphasized the country's goal to achieve \$1 billion per month in natural gas exports over the next year. In addition to boosting natural gas exports, Egypt is focusing on decarbonizing the produced gas to ensure environmental safety and market competitiveness. The country is also diversifying its energy sources, partnering with industry leaders for green and blue hydrogen projects and promoting renewable investments.

Clients: Medserv Egypt maintains contracts with BP and IEOC (ENI's entity in Egypt) and is actively seeking contract opportunities in the country with other operators and major international corporations.

Iraq

Economic and Political Climate: The Economist Intelligence Unit notes that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's administration remains susceptible to security threats, civil unrest, and challenges to its reform initiatives from its parliamentary base, the Iran-backed Co-ordination Framework coalition. While the coalition's support is expected to remain steadfast in the short term, driven by significant spending increases, it will exert increasing pressure on Iraq's public finances. Given Iraq's heavy reliance on oil export earnings, its real GDP performance will closely mirror oil market trends in the upcoming years.

Market: Iraq boasts a substantial reserve of 145 billion barrels of oil and 132 trillion cubic feet of gas, characterized by low geological exploration risk and relative stability. The country has already established itself as a pivotal oil and gas source in the region, with prospects for further growth in the future. Approximately 94% of Iraq's energy requirements are met through petroleum. Factors such as rising oil and natural gas production and consumption, upcoming pipeline infrastructure projects, plans to enhance oil infrastructure nationwide, and increased investment across all three oil and gas sectors are anticipated to drive growth in Iraq's oil and gas market. The Iraqi Government and TotalEnergies have reached an agreement, granting a 30% stake to the Basrah Oil Company (BOC) in the GGIP. In collaboration with the Iraqi Government, TotalEnergies has invited QatarEnergy to acquire a 25% stake in the GGIP. The primary objective of the GGIP is to advance the development of Iraq's natural resources to bolster the country's electricity supply.

Clients: MedservRegis (under METS brand) continues to cater to international clientele in Iraq. Contracts have been renewed and/or expanded in scope, laying the groundwork for potential revenue growth in the upcoming months.

Directors' Report pursuant to the Capital Market Rules 5.75.2 (continued)

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

Outlook (continued)

UAE

Economic and Political Climate: As per the Economist Intelligence Unit, the UAE is expected to enjoy political stability over the next five years. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, having assumed the presidency in May 2022, will ensure policy continuity. His position was further solidified with the appointment of his son as the crown prince of Abu Dhabi in early 2023. The nation's foreign policy will be shaped by commercial ambitions, concerns about Iran and Islamist militancy, and a reduced US presence in the region. While economic growth is anticipated to slow, high international oil prices and incremental output increases will bolster government resources. Supportive economic policies, including the promotion of foreign investment, will stimulate non-oil economic expansion. Efforts to diversify and enhance the business environment will be prioritized, but hydrocarbons will remain central to the economy.

Market Size and Potential: GlobalData's analysis, based on the OPEC database, reveals that the UAE held 7.2% of the world's oil reserves and 4% of the natural gas reserves in 2021. A significant discovery was made by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) in May 2022, uncovering 650 million barrels of onshore crude oil reserves. This discovery further augments the UAE's hydrocarbon reserve base, ensuring the nation's continued prominence as a major hydrocarbon producer and exporter. For 2024, the UAE's required production level is set at 3.219mn b/d, implying an average production of 3.08mn b/d after voluntary cuts next year. This suggests an increase in the UAE's overall oil production from estimated 2023 levels, subsequently boosting overall GDP growth. The GDP growth forecast for the UAE in 2024 stands at 3.7%.

Clients: MedservRegis' client portfolio in the UAE is diverse, encompassing a major service player in Abu Dhabi and several local and international clients for the machine shop in Sharjah. With the addition of another machine shop in Sharjah and plans to inaugurate new storage yards in Abu Dhabi and the Jebel Ali free zone, prospects for revenue growth in 2023 and 2024 are reinforced.

Oman

Economic and Political Climate: The Economist Intelligence Unit suggests that Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said will maintain political authority between 2023 and 2027. However, his reign might be tested by potential popular protests, driven by escalating socioeconomic pressures and possible imposition of economic austerity measures. While real GDP growth is expected to decelerate in 2023 due to falling hydrocarbons prices and output, a fiscal surplus will enable the government to postpone the introduction of austerity measures.

Market Size and Potential: 2024 is projected to be a robust year for Oman's fossil fuels. The OPEC+ agreed cut of 40,000 barrels per day from May-December 2023 is anticipated to conclude, and the Block 10 at the Saih Rawl gas field, initiated in early 2023, is expected to yield over 0.5 billion cubic feet of gas daily.

Clients: The primary OCTG suppliers active in Oman remain highly engaged in the nation and show no indications of volume reductions in 2023 or 2024. The group recently extended its contract with Sumitomo for another five years, ensuring sustained activity in the country.

Directors' Report pursuant to the Capital Market Rules 5.75.2 (continued)

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

Outlook (continued)

Mozambique

Economic and Political Climate: The Economist Intelligence Unit reports that the Mozambican government faced challenges in 2022 in containing an Islamist insurgency, which necessitated foreign intervention and troop deployments. This insurgency has led to significant delays in the development of major liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. However, a smaller offshore LNG project commenced towards the end of 2022, and a more robust real GDP growth is anticipated in 2023 as the offshore gas terminal reaches its full capacity, complemented by increasing mining output.

Market Size and Potential: Mozambique boasts substantial natural gas reserves, estimated to hold over 100 trillion cubic feet, with expectations to double following the prospection phase. This positions the country as one of the largest proven natural gas reserve holders in Africa.

Clients: In Mozambique, the group caters to both the IEC and service companies in the oil and gas sector, as well as mining companies. With the anticipated lifting of the Force Majeure declared by TotalEnergies in April 2021, robust activity is expected to resume for the redevelopment of the LNG plant in the Afungi peninsula in the north. Having maintained a presence throughout the idle period, the group is ideally positioned to capitalize on this reopening.

Uganda

Economic and Political Climate: According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, following the re-election of Yoweri Museveni as president for a sixth consecutive term, his National Resistance Movement retained a majority in parliament. While bouts of opposition-led protests against Mr. Museveni's authoritarian rule are likely, a loyal police force will ensure political stability. After a slow economic recovery in 2022, brisk real GDP growth is forecasted throughout the 2023-27 period, driven notably by the development of the oil sector.

Market Size and Potential: The drilling of production wells for the Kingfisher and Tilenga oil production projects has been ongoing since January 2023, in preparation for the anticipated commencement of oil production in Uganda in 2025. The country envisions drilling over 450 wells on 35 well-pads, leading to an estimated production of 230,000 barrels of oil per day at its peak.

Clients: MedservRegis continues to work for a leading OCTG supplier involved with TotalEnergies operations and is also tendering for additional contracts associated with the progression of onshore drilling operations.

Other countries

Morocco: The group is supporting an exploration drilling by a major International Energy Company during 2023, with the potential for extension in the event of a positive outcome.

Guyana: The group has entered a joint venture with the owner of a new operational base being reclaimed to support Exxon's development in the country.

2 Basis of preparation

2.1 Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements as at and for the six-months ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and should be read in conjunction with the last annual consolidated financial statements of MedservRegis plc as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 ("last annual financial statements"). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

2 Basis of preparation (continued)

2.2 Going concern

As required by the Capital Market Rule 5.62, upon due consideration of the Group's performance and statement of financial position, capital adequacy and solvency, the directors confirm the Group's ability to continue operating as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

3 Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates 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.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

4 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements. Certain comparatives have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

A number of new standards are effective from 1 January 2023, but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

5 Standards issued but not yet effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2023 and earlier application is permitted. However, the Group has not early adopted any of the forthcoming new or amended standards in preparing these interim financial statements.

For the Period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

6 Operating segments

6.1 The Group has three reportable operating segments, as described below, which represent the Group's strategic divisions. These divisions offer different products and services and are managed separately because they require different resources and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic divisions, the Board of Directors, which is the chief operating decision maker, reviews internal management reports on a monthly basis.

The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments

Integrated logistics support services Includes the provision of comprehensive logistical support services
to the offshore oil and gas industry from the Group's bases in
Malta, Cyprus, Egypt, South America and Africa.
Oil country tubular goods Includes the provision of an integrated approach to OCTG handling,
inspection, repairs and other ancillary services based in three
Middle East locations, namely U.A.E., Southern Iraq and Sultanate
of Oman.
Photovoltaic farm Involves the generation of electricity which is sold into the national
grid for a twenty-year period at a price secured under the tariff
scheme regulated by subsidiary legislation S.L. 423.46 in Malta.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment adjusted EBITDA as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Board of Directors. Segment adjusted EBITDA is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

8 Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA)

The Directors have presented the performance measure adjusted EBITDA because they monitor this performance measure at a consolidated level and they believe this measure is relevant to an understanding of the Group's financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting profit from continuing operations to exclude the impact of taxation, net finance income (costs), depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses related to goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined performance measure in IFRS Standards and as a result, the Group's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled performance measures and disclosures by other entities.

The Group previously presented net changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL as finance income. However, management considered it to be more relevant to present any gain or loss on fair value of these investments as 'other income and other expenses' since these investments are held for trading purposes and consist mainly of listed equity securities. Prior year comparative for the period ended 30 June 2022 has been restated by reclassifying fair value loss on FVTPL amounted to €1,083,366 from 'finance costs' to 'other income and other expenses'.
