"I'm pleased to report record production and financial results in the second quarter, backed by strong operating performance and the further strengthening of oil prices. Whilst certain challenges of the COVID-19 crisis will remain for the foreseeable future, we've normalised the management of these and continue to deliver on our main business priorities.
"Our world class producing assets continue to outperform with excellent production efficiency, along with industry leading low operating costs, delivering production in the quarter above the mid-point of the guidance range, leading us to increase our full year production guidance.
"Johan Sverdrup keeps on delivering above expectations. Phase 1 production ramped up to 535 Mbopd gross ahead of schedule and the full field production guidance has been lifted to 755 Mbopd. Phase 2 of the project is making good progress, with key offshore installations completed on schedule, and the project remains firmly on track for first oil in the fourth quarter of 2022.
"At the Greater Edvard Grieg Area we continue to deliver on the projects that support the long-term plateau extension, with excellent results so far from the Edvard Grieg infill well programme and the Solveig and Rolvsnes projects on track for first oil in the coming weeks. There's lots more to come and we'll see the results from two exciting exploration wells in the area in the second half of the year.
"Our key projects remain on track to deliver growth to over 200 Mboepd by 2023. We've a strong track record of growing resources and I'm confident that we can continue to sustain the business at these production levels. We have a pipeline of potential new projects, the first of which has just been sanctioned, and an exciting exploration programme, targeting material resources.
"The business delivered record financial results, with free cash flow of MUSD 949 for the first six months and net debt reduced to below USD 3.2 billion. This demonstrates the quality of our strong cash generative business, allowing us to fund growth, cover dividends and deleverage. On the back of attaining three investment grade credit ratings, the Company successfully completed a USD 2 billion inaugural bond issuance, the proceeds of which were used to pay down existing corporate credit facilities.
"We continue to make good progress on our decarbonisation plans, with around 60% of our production today carbon neutrally produced, and we're on target for the business as a whole to be carbon neutral from 2025. We've already made several certified carbon neutrally produced crude sales, which I believe will become a key value differentiator for Lundin Energy.
"We've delivered record results in the first half of the year, our key business priorities are on track and looking forward I'm confident the business will continue to deliver resilient sustainable growth."

All the reported numbers and updates in the operational review relate to the six month period ending 30 June 2021 (reporting period) unless otherwise specified.
Lundin Energy has maintained a proactive approach in safeguarding the wellbeing of the Company's employees and contractors, whilst also ensuring the virus has minimal impact on its operations. To date there have been no disruptions to production due to the COVID-19 situation and while certain project activities have been affected, the disruptions have been successfully managed, to avoid any negative impact on the production outlook.
In June 2021, Lundin Energy announced updated production guidance for 2021 of between 180 to 195 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboepd), increased from the original guidance of 170 to 190 Mboepd. The increase in full year production guidance is due to better than expected production in the first half of 2021 and an expected increase in facilities capacity available at the Edvard Grieg field, due to the continued decline of the Ivar Aasen field.
| Production | 180 to 195 Mboepd |
|---|---|
| Operating Cost | USD 3.00 per boe |
| Development expenditure | MUSD 850 |
| Exploration and Appraisal expenditure | MUSD 260 |
| Decommissioning expenditure | MUSD 20 |
| Renewables Investments | MUSD 100 |
Production was 186 Mboepd, which was in line with the updated guidance and seven percent above the mid-point of the original production guidance range for the period. Production in the second quarter of 2021, was 190 Mboepd which was a record quarterly production rate for the Company. First half 2021 production was above expectations due to excellent production efficiency across all assets, an earlier than forecast increased plateau rate of 535 thousand barrels of oil per day (Mbopd) gross at Johan Sverdrup Phase 1 and additional facilities capacity available at the Edvard Grieg field due to the Ivar Aasen field not utilising its contractual capacity.
Operating costs, net of tariff income, were USD 2.82 per boe, which was below guidance for the reporting period. Full year operating cost guidance remains USD 3.00 per boe.

1 Lundin Energy's working interest (WI)
Production from Johan Sverdrup Phase 1 was in line with the updated production guidance, with a production efficiency of 98 percent. In May 2021, the Phase 1 processing capacity was increased from 500 Mbopd gross to 535 Mbopd, following upgrades to the water injection system, which were required to support the higher offtake rates. This represents a gross increase of 95 Mbopd since first oil in late 2019. Reservoir performance continues to be strong, with high well productivities and excellent communication across the field. One production well and one water injection well were completed in the reporting period, with results in line with expectations and the field is currently producing from 13 wells. Johan Sverdrup is being operated with power supplied from shore and is one of the lowest CO2 emitting offshore fields in the world, with CO2 emissions of less than 0.1 kg per boe for the reporting period. Operating costs were USD 1.63 per boe.
Production from the Edvard Grieg field was in line with the updated production guidance, with a production efficiency of 99 percent. The field has benefitted from higher available processing capacity due to the continued decline of the Ivar Aasen field. The infill drilling programme at Edvard Grieg commenced in January 2021, using the Rowan Viking jack-up rig and has progressed according to plan. The first infill well came on stream in June 2021, equipped with the innovative 'Fishbones' completion, which has contributed to well productivity around 10 times greater than the original prognosis. The first of two branches on the second infill well has been drilled, with results in line with expectations and this branch also includes a 'Fishbones' completion. Drilling of the second branch has been completed and initial reservoir results are in line with expectations. The well is scheduled to be brought on line in the fourth quarter 2021. Power from shore at Edvard Grieg is on schedule to be online in late 2022, with the power cable now installed on Edvard Grieg and laid on the seabed at Johan Sverdrup, awaiting arrival of the Phase 2 processing platform in 2022. The retirement of the existing gas turbine power generation system on the platform and installation of electric boilers to provide process heat, is on schedule and is expected to be operational in late 2022. Operating costs, net of tariff income, were USD 3.72 per boe.
Production from the Ivar Aasen field was in line with the updated forecast. The field water production rate has continued to increase, which has resulted in an accelerated oil production decline. Two infill wells have come on stream in the reporting period and both wells have performed below expectations.
Production from the Alvheim Area was in line with forecast with a production efficiency of 95 percent. One infill well that was spudded in late 2020, came on stream in March 2021, with results in line with expectations. Two infill wells are planned to be drilled in the Alvheim Area during the second half of 2021. Operating costs were USD 7.38 per boe.
The development expenditure guidance for 2021 remains unchanged at MUSD 850.

1 Johan Sverdrup full field 2 Extended Well Test
The Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 development project involves a second processing platform bridge linked to the Phase 1 field centre, subsea facilities to access the Avaldsnes, Kvitsøy and Geitungen satellite areas of the field, implementation of full field water alternating gas injection (WAG) for enhanced recovery and the drilling of 28 additional wells. The Johan Sverdrup gross field reserves are in the range 2.2 to 3.2 billion boe and the ambition of the partners in the field, is to achieve a recovery factor of more than 70 percent. In June 2021, the Company along with the operator Equinor, announced that the full field gross processing capacity had been increased to 755 Mbopd, once Phase 2 comes on stream, as result of debottlenecking work on the Phase 2 topsides and studies to optimise the full field integrated processing and export capacity. The full field breakeven oil price for Johan Sverdrup, including past investments, has been reduced to below USD 15 per boe, from less than USD 20 per boe.
The Phase 2 capital expenditure is estimated at gross NOK 41 billion (nominal), which is unchanged from the Phase 2 PDO estimate in 2019. The three modules that constitute the second processing platform topsides were successfully assembled in Norway in May 2021 awaiting final installation offshore in spring 2022. The jacket for the second processing platform was successfully installed offshore in June 2021 and the new module on the existing Riser Platform was successfully installed offshore in July 2021. The subsea facilities and flowlines installation work is progressing as per schedule, for completion during 2021, allowing for drilling operations on the subsea wells to commence in early 2022. The disruptions to project activities due to COVID-19 have been effectively managed and first oil remains on schedule for the fourth quarter of 2022, with progress now over 60 percent complete.
Solveig Phase 1 is a subsea tie-back development to Edvard Grieg and will contribute to keeping the Edvard Grieg platform on plateau production until the end of 2023. Phase 1 gross proved plus probable (2P) reserves are estimated at 57 MMboe and will be developed with three oil production wells and two water injection wells, achieving gross peak production of 30 Mboepd. The PDO for Solveig Phase 1 was approved in June 2019. The capital cost for the development is within the PDO estimate of MUSD 810 gross, with a breakeven oil price of below 20 USD per boe. Installation of the subsea facilities and flowlines is complete and development drilling started in May, 2021. The first well has been successfully drilled and initial results are above pre-drill expectations. The project is on schedule for first oil in the third quarter of 2021, with total progress now around 60 percent complete, with the remaining work mostly related to the phased drilling of the development wells.
The Rolvsnes EWT project, which was approved by the authorities in July 2019, will be developed through a 3 km subsea tie-back of the existing Rolvsnes horizontal well to the Edvard Grieg platform. The EWT will provide important reservoir data to support a decision on the potential Rolvsnes full field development. The project is being developed in conjunction with the Solveig project to take advantage of contracting and implementation synergies. In May 2021, completion activities on the existing Rolvsnes well were finalized using the West Bollsta semi-submersible rig. Final commissioning and testing is ongoing, with first oil expected in August 2021.
In June 2021, the PDO for the joint development of the two discoveries Kobra East and Gekko was submitted to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The development will be conducted as a subsea tie-back to the Alvheim FPSO and phase one of the development will include four tri-lateral production wells targeting the oil zones of the two discoveries. Phase two of the development consists of a gas production well targeting the gas cap at Gekko, which will be drilled at a later stage once gas processing capacity is available on the Alvheim FPSO. Drilling operations are expected to commence in early 2023, with first oil planned in the first quarter of 2024. Total gross 2P reserves for the project amount to 39 MMboe and the development will provide gross peak production of approximately 28 Mboepd. This project will be developed under the Norwegian temporary tax regime and has a breakeven oil price of less than USD 30 per boe.
The 2021 exploration and appraisal programme was increased by one well to eight wells in total during the reporting period, as a result of a decision to drill a second appraisal well at Iving. Four wells have been drilled, yielding a small oil discovery at Segment D near to the Solveig field. The remaining four wells are targeting approximately 200 MMboe of net unrisked prospective resources. The exploration and appraisal expenditure guidance for 2021 remains unchanged at MUSD 260.

1 Lundin Energy's working interest in Licence PL976 will reduce from 50 percent to 40 percent on closing of the OneDyas transaction agreed in May 2021
In March 2021, the Segment D prospect, located north of the Solveig field on the Utsira High in the Norwegian North Sea in PL359, was drilled yielding an oil discovery. A 10 metre oil column was encountered in Triassic reservoir sandstones and the discovery is estimated to hold gross recoverable resources of 3 to 9 MMboe. A development will be evaluated in parallel with a potential future phase of development at Solveig.
In July 2021, a two-well appraisal drilling programme was completed on the Iving discovery located in the Central North Sea close to the Balder and Ringhorne fields. The results were below expectations and the feasibility of a commercial development is currently undergoing evaluation.
In 2020, the Norwegian Government introduced temporary tax incentives aiming to increase activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, which applies to projects with PDO's submitted before the end of 2022. These tax incentives improve project economics and the Company has taken steps to accelerate activities for nine potential projects which could benefit from this opportunity. The first of these, the KEG project, has been sanctioned, with the PDO submitted for approval. The Solveig Phase 2 project, incorporating the Segment D discovery and the Rolvsnes Full Field project, will be de-risked with production experience from Solveig Phase 1 and the Rolvsnes EWT. The appraisal well for the Lille Prinsen discovery was spudded in early July 2021, using the Deepsea Stavanger semi-submersible rig. Development studies for the Alvheim Area project Frosk are progressing, with project sanction planned in the third quarter 2021. In February 2021, the Company completed a licence swap with AkerBP, acquiring a six percent working interest in the Trell and Trine discoveries, which are potential tie-back developments to Alvheim, with concept studies ongoing towards possible sanction before the 2022 deadline. In the Barents Sea, development studies on Wisting are progressing well with concept selection planned in late 2021. Commercial feasibility studies on the Alta discovery in the Southern Barents Sea, indicate the favoured development solution is a subsea tieback to the Johan Castberg field, the timing of which means it will not benefit from the temporary tax regime.
Decarbonisation is a key strategic pillar for Lundin Energy and a significant differentiator for the business. In January 2021, the decarbonisation strategy was accelerated by five years to achieve carbon neutrality for operational emissions from 2025. The strategy is composed of four pillars – reducing operational emissions, powering key assets from shore, investing in renewable power to replace net electricity usage and investments in nature-based carbon capture projects for any residual emissions. A critical step towards carbon neutrality will be the electrification of the Edvard Grieg platform, which will be executed in parallel with the Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 development, and will be operational in late 2022. Carbon emissions were 2.9 kg of CO2 per boe in the reporting period, which is well within the Company's 2021 guidance of less than 4 kg of CO2 per boe.
The Company has recently updated its emissions targets as a result of learnings from Johan Sverdrup production performance. On completion of the electrification of Edvard Grieg, the Company's average net carbon intensity is expected to be approximately 1 kg CO2 per boe (reduced from less than 2 kg CO2 per boe), around one-fifteenth of the industry average. Further to the unit intensity reductions the Company is also committing to reduce absolute emissions by 50 percent from 2023 compared to the emission levels in 2020.
In April 2021, the Company completed a transaction with OX2 AB (OX2) to acquire a 100 percent interest in the Karskruv onshore wind farm project in southern Sweden. The wind farm will become operational in late 2023 and will produce an estimated 290 GWh per annum, from 20 onshore wind turbines. The total investment in Karskruv, including the acquisition cost, will amount to MEUR 130 with the majority of the spend occurring in 2022 and 2023 and the project will be cash flow positive from 2024. Construction and commissioning of the second phase of the Leikanger hydropower project in Norway was completed in March 2021 and is now operational at full capacity. Construction works are progressing well on the Metsälamminkangas (MLK) wind farm in Finland, with wind turbines and towers expected to be erected and commissioned in the second half of 2021, with the project fully operational in 2022. The Company has now committed to three renewable projects, with a combined net power generation capacity of around 600 GWh per annum from late 2023, which will cover all of the Company's expected net electricity usage for the offshore producing assets. This means that from end 2023, over 95 percent of the Company's oil production will be powered by its own generated renewable energy.
In January 2021, the Company signed a partnership with Land Life Company B.V., to invest MUSD 35 in high quality re-forestation projects to plant approximately eight million trees between 2021 and 2025, capturing approximately 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 . Over time this project will be more than sufficient to naturally capture all of the Company's net residual emissions of CO2 , leading to carbon neutrality for operational emissions. During the reporting period, approximately 150,000 trees were planted in Spain and Ghana.
The renewable expenditure guidance for 2021 remains at MUSD 100.
In April 2021, Lundin Energy announced that it had sold a cargo of certified carbon neutrally produced Edvard Grieg crude to Saras S.p.A, the first such cargo in the world to have been traded and a significant step forward for the international oil market, in terms of a barrel of crude oil trading on the merits of its carbon emissions. Lundin Energy's Edvard Grieg field was the first oil field in the world to be independently certified by Intertek Group plc (Intertek), under its CarbonClearTM certification. The field is certified as low carbon at 3.8 kg of CO2 per boe, including exploration, development and production. In May 2021, a second cargo of certified carbon neutrally produced Edvard Grieg crude was sold to Grupa Lotos S.A.
Following the success of the first certified, carbon neutrally produced barrels at Edvard Grieg, in June 2021, Lundin Energy announced that all future barrels of oil the Company sells from the Johan Sverdrup field will be certified as carbon neutrally produced under the CarbonZeroTM standard. The field has been independently certified at 0.44 kg CO2 e per boe for life of field emissions, including exploration and appraisal activities, approximately 40 times lower than the world average. The first carbon neutrally produced cargo from Johan Sverdrup was sold to GS Caltex, Korea in June 2021.
In order to supply a carbon neutrally produced barrel, residual emissions for both the Edvard Grieg and Johan Sverdrup fields were compensated through high quality, nature-based carbon capture projects, certified by the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and independently certified by Intertek. Almost 60 percent of the Company's net production from now on is certified as carbon neutrally produced.
The decommissioning expenditure guidance for 2021 remains unchanged at MUSD 20. The Brynhild field ceased production in 2018, abandonment of the four subsea wells was completed in 2020 and the removal of the subsea facilities was completed in July 2021. The Gaupe field ceased production in 2018 decommissioning activities are expected to commence in 2023. Following completion of Brynhild and Gaupe decommissioning, the Company has no further planned decommissioning spend until around 2035.
In January 2021, the Company was awarded 19 licences in the 2020 APA licensing round, of which seven are as operator.
In February 2021, Lundin Energy entered into a sales and purchase agreement with AkerBP involving the acquisition of a six percent working interest in licences PL036E, PL036F, PL102H, PL102F, PL102D and PL102G which includes the Trell and Trine discoveries. The transaction also included the sale of a five percent working interest in PL869 and a 15 percent working interest in PL1041.The transaction completed in June 2021.
In May 2021 Lundin Energy entered into a sales and purchase agreement with One-Dyas involving the divestment of ten percent working interest in PL 976 which includes the Dovregubben prospect. The transaction is subject to customary government approvals.
In June 2021, Lundin Energy was awarded two licences in the 25th licensing round. The Company currently holds 86 licences in Norway.
During the reporting period, there were no lost time incidents and five medical treatment incidents, resulting in a Lost Time Incident Rate of 0.0 per million hours worked and a Total Recordable Incident Rate of 3.8 per million hours worked. There were no process safety or material environmental incidents during the reporting period.
The Company generated record high revenue and other income for the reporting period of MUSD 2,384.7 (MUSD 1,097.7) resulting in operating profit for the reporting period of MUSD 1,523.7 (MUSD 570.3). The increase compared to the comparative period was mainly driven by higher sales volumes and higher oil prices. Sales volumes increased by 18 percent compared to the comparative period caused by better production performance, inventory movements and overlift movements during the reporting period. Realised prices per boe increased by 84 percent compared to the comparative period. Operating profit was negatively impacted by higher exploration costs and higher purchases of crude oil from third parties compared to the comparative period.
The net result for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 234.6 (MUSD -131.8), representing earnings per share of USD 0.82 (USD -0.46). Net result was impacted by a largely non-cash foreign currency exchange loss during the reporting period of MUSD 35.2 (MUSD 227.8) and a non-cash accounting loss on ineffective interest rate hedge contracts of MUSD 38.0 (MUSD –). Adjusted net result for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 308.4 (MUSD 158.6), representing adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.08 (USD 0.41). Adjusted net result separates out the effects of loan modification gains, foreign currency exchange results, ineffective interest rate hedge contracts, and the tax impacts from these items and better reflects the net result generated by the Company's operational performance for the reporting period. Adjusted net result for the second quarter amounted to MUSD 158.6 and represented a record high quarterly adjusted net result for the Company.
The Company generated earnings before interest, tax, depletion, amortization and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) for the reporting period of MUSD 2,078.0 (MUSD 916.2) representing EBITDAX per share of USD 7.31 (USD 3.23), with the increase compared to the comparative period mainly caused by the higher sales volumes and higher oil prices. EBITDAX for the second quarter amounted to MUSD 1,059.6 and represented a record high quarterly EBITDAX for the Company. Cash flow from operating activities (CFFO) for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,487.9 (MUSD 898.1), representing CFFO per share of USD 5.23 (USD 3.16) with the increase compared to the comparative period, again impacted by higher sales volumes and higher oil prices, but negatively impacted by working capital changes and higher tax payments during the reporting period. Free cash flow for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 949.1 (MUSD 381.5), representing free cash flow per share of USD 3.34 (USD 1.34), with the increase compared to the comparative period mainly impacted by higher CFFO.
In April 2021, the Company completed a transaction with OX2 AB (OX2) to acquire a 100 percent interest in the Karskruv onshore wind farm project in southern Sweden. The wind farm will become operational in late 2023 and will produce an estimated 290 GWh per annum, from 20 onshore wind turbines. The total investment in Karskruv, including the acquisition cost, will amount to MEUR 130 with the majority of the spend occurring in 2022 and 2023 and the project will be cash flow positive from 2024.

Note: USD per boe is calculated by dividing the cost by total production volume for the period.
1 The numbers in this table are excluding tariff income netting. Lundin Energy's operating cost for the reporting period of USD 3.19 (USD 3.22) per barrel is reduced to USD 2.82 (USD 2.78) when tariff income is netted off. The operating cost for the second quarter of USD 3.15 (USD 2.78) per barrel is reduced to USD 2.80 (USD 2.37) when tariff income is netted off.
The total cost of operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 75.1 (MUSD 69.5) and the total cost of operations excluding operational projects amounted to MUSD 71.5 (MUSD 66.6). The cost of operations per barrel for the reporting period amounted to USD 2.23 (USD 2.42) including operational projects and USD 2.12 (USD 2.32) excluding operational projects. The lower unit costs compared to the comparative period are mainly caused by higher production volumes partly offset by a stronger Norwegian Krone.
Tariff and transportation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 32.4 (MUSD 22.9) or USD 0.96 (USD 0.80) per boe. The increase on a per barrel basis compared to the comparative period is caused by a stronger Norwegian Krone.
Sales quantities in a period can differ from production quantities as a result of permanent and timing differences. Timing differences can arise due to under/over lift of entitlement, inventory, storage and pipeline balances effects. The change in under/over lift position is valued at production cost including depletion cost, and amounted to MUSD -7.4 (MUSD 8.1) in the reporting period due to the timing of the cargo liftings compared to production. The change in inventory position is also valued at production cost including depletion cost, and amounted to MUSD 11.8 (MUSD -0.1) in the reporting period due to a cargo in transit at the end of 2020 that was sold in early 2021. Sales quantities and production quantities are detailed in the table below:

Other costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 3.3 (MUSD 2.9) and related to the business interruption insurance.
Depletion and decommissioning costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 350.7 (MUSD 295.9), at an average rate of USD 10.39 (USD 10.31) per boe. The slightly higher depletion costs on a per barrel basis compared to the comparative period is caused by a lower depletion rate per barrel in Norwegian Krone as a result of increased reserves in Norway offset by a stronger Norwegian Krone as the depletion rate per boe is calculated in Norwegian Krone.
Exploration costs expensed in the income statement for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 200.0 (MUSD 46.7). Exploration and appraisal costs are capitalised as they are incurred. When exploration and appraisal drilling is unsuccessful, the capitalised costs are expensed. All capitalised exploration costs are reviewed on a regular basis and are expensed when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
Purchase of crude oil from third parties for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 170.4 (MUSD 63.3) and related to crude oil purchased from outside the Group.
The general administrative and depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 24.7 (MUSD 18.2), which included a charge of MUSD 3.0 (MUSD 2.0) in relation to the Group's long-term incentive plans (LTIP), see also Remuneration section on page 13. Fixed asset depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 3.6 (MUSD 3.3).
Finance income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 0.8 (MUSD 0.8) and is detailed in Note 4.
Finance costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 159.4 (MUSD 343.1) and are detailed in Note 5.
The net foreign currency exchange loss for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 35.2 (MUSD 227.8). Foreign exchange movements occur on the settlement of transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the revaluation of working capital and loan balances to the prevailing exchange rate, at the balance sheet date where those monetary assets and liabilities are held in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Group's reporting entities. Lundin Energy is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations relating to the relationship between US Dollar and other currencies. Lundin Energy has entered into derivative financial instruments to address this exposure for exchange rate fluctuations for capital expenditure amounts and Corporate and Special Petroleum Tax amounts. For the reporting period, the net realised exchange gain on these settled foreign exchange instruments amounted to MUSD 8.1 (loss of MUSD 43.7).
The US Dollar strengthened three percent against the Euro during the reporting period, resulting in a net foreign currency exchange loss on the US Dollar denominated external loan, which is borrowed by a subsidiary using Euro as functional currency. In addition, the Norwegian Krone strengthened three percent against the Euro during the reporting period, generating a net foreign currency exchange gain on an intercompany loan balance denominated in Norwegian Krone.
Interest expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 22.8 (MUSD 58.1) and represented the portion of interest charged to the income statement. An additional amount of interest of MUSD 11.1 (MUSD 10.6), associated with the funding of the Norwegian development projects was capitalised during the reporting period. The total interest expenses for the reporting period decreased compared to the comparative period as a result of a lower LIBOR rate, a lower interest rate margin over LIBOR following the refinancing in December 2020 and a lower average outstanding debt relative to the comparative period. Interest expenses for the reporting period included MUSD 1.1 interest charges in relation to the issued bonds in June 2021.
The result on interest rate hedge settlements for the reporting period amounted to a loss of MUSD 71.9 (MUSD 14.4), as a result of the lower LIBOR rate and included a MUSD 38.0 charge to the income statement in relation to interest rate hedge contracts no longer considered effective under hedge effectiveness testing. The Company issued USD 2 billion of Senior Notes in June 2021 with a fixed interest rate and used the net proceeds, in combination with cash on hand, to repay USD 2 billion of the corporate credit facility term loans with a floating interest rate. As a result, part of the outstanding interest rate hedge contracts are no longer effective under hedge effectiveness testing.
The amortisation of the deferred financing fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 15.4 (MUSD 7.9) and related to the expensing of the fees incurred in establishing the credit facility over the period of usage of the facility. In addition, the unamortised portion of the capitalised financing fees incurred in relation to the repaid USD 2 billion corporate credit facility term loans were expensed during the reporting period.
Loan facility commitment fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 3.5 (MUSD 5.7) and related to commitment fees for the undrawn amounts under the revolving corporate credit facility which was undrawn at the end of the reporting period.
The unwinding of the loan modification gain in the comparative period amounted to MUSD 19.0 and related to the expensing of the accounting gain from the re-negotiated improved borrowing terms in 2018 for the reserve-based lending facility over the period of usage of the facility.
Share in result of joint ventures for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 0.5 (MUSD 0.0) and related to the 50 percent non-operated interest in the Leikanger hydropower project in Norway.
The overall tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,131.0 (MUSD 359.8) and is detailed in Note 6.
The current tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,021.4 (MUSD 129.5) and mainly related to Norway. The current tax charge for Norway for the reporting period related to both Corporate Tax and Special Petroleum Tax (SPT). The paid tax installments in Norway during the reporting period amounted to MUSD 366.1, which has in combination with the current tax charge for the reporting period and exchange rate movements resulted in an increase in current tax liabilities, compared to the end 2020, from MUSD 444.4 to MUSD 1,089.1.
On 19th June 2020, certain temporary changes in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax Law were enacted. The temporary changes allow investments incurred in 2020 and 2021 to be fully deducted against SPT in the year of investment compared to a six year linear depreciation for the ordinary tax regime. There is a further deduction available against the SPT in the form of an uplift. For the years 2020 and 2021, the uplift has been changed to 24 percent of the investment incurred in the year and is fully deductible in the year the investment is incurred, versus the previous uplift treatment which stipulated that the investment incurred during the year qualified for an uplift of 5.2 percent annually over four years (i.e. 20.8 percent uplift). The temporary changes in the Petroleum Tax Law also apply for Plan for Development and Operations submitted within 2022. These tax rules changes resulted in a reduction on current taxes for 2020 and 2021 and an increase in deferred taxes.
The deferred tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 109.6 (MUSD 230.3) and related to Norway. A deferred tax amount arises primarily where there is a difference in depletion for tax and accounting purposes, with the deferred tax charge decreased for the reporting period due to the temporary tax changes for the Special Petroleum Tax in Norway enacted in June 2020, as outlined above.
The Group operates in various countries and fiscal regimes where corporate income tax rates are different from the regulations in Sweden. Corporate income tax rates for the Group vary between 13.7 and 78 percent. The effective tax rate for the reporting period is affected by items which do not receive a full tax credit such as the reported net foreign currency exchange results, Norwegian financial items and by the uplift allowance applicable in Norway for development expenditures against the offshore tax regime. The effective tax rate for the reporting period was mainly impacted by the reported foreign currency exchange loss and the expensed interest rate hedge contracts which are no longer considered effective under hedge effectiveness testing. The effective tax rate on the adjusted net results for the reporting period amounted to 79 percent.
Oil and gas properties amounted to MUSD 5,889.2 (MUSD 5,902.4) and are detailed in Note 7. Oil and gas properties included Right of use assets as per IFRS16 and amounted to MUSD 28.6 (MUSD –) relating to a drilling rig recognised under IFRS 16 during the reporting period.

The facility also includes the option to bring in additional commitments in an accordion option of up to USD 1 billion. In line with the Company's best in class environmental profile, ESG KPIs on carbon intensity and renewable electricity generation have been incorporated into the margin structure, providing further financial incentives for the delivery of the Decarbonisation Strategy and the 2025 carbon neutrality target. The Company achieved a lower interest rate margin over LIBOR during the reporting period based on the ESG KPIs incorporated in the margin structure. The structure of the Facility is such, that it is compatible with the issued unsecured bonds through the debt capital markets at pari passu terms.
The Company currently has Baa3, BBB- and BBB- credit ratings from Moody's, S&P and Fitch respectively, all with a stable outlook.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority issued a notification of a corporate fine and forfeiture of economic benefits against Lundin Energy in relation to past operations in Sudan from 1997 to 2003. The notification indicated that the Prosecutor might seek a corporate fine of SEK 3 million and forfeiture of economic benefits from the alleged offense in the amount of SEK 3,282 million, based on the profit of the sale of the Block 5A asset in 2003 of SEK 720 million. Any potential corporate fine or forfeiture would only be imposed after the conclusion of a trial, should one occur. The investigation is in its twelfth year and Lundin Energy remains convinced that there are absolutely no grounds for any allegations of wrongdoing by any Company representative and the Company will firmly contest any corporate fine or forfeiture of economic benefits. The Company considers this to be a contingent liability and therefore no provision has been recognised.
In July 2021, the second Iving appraisal well in PL 820S in the North Sea was drilled with results below expectation and will be expensed in the third quarter.
During July 2021, Lundin Energy entered into fx options to buy MNOK 1,862.0 at an average strike price of 8.33 for the second half of 2021 and fx options to buy MNOK 4,159.0 at an average strike price of 8.30 for the first half of 2022.
Lundin Energy AB's issued share capital amounted to SEK 3,478,713 represented by 285,924,614 shares with a quota value of SEK 0.01 each (rounded off) with the issued share capital including a bonus issue (sw. fondemission) of SEK 556,594 during 2019, to restore the share capital of Lundin Energy to the same amount as immediately prior to the share redemption as approved by the EGM of Lundin Energy held on 31 July 2019.
During 2017, Lundin Energy purchased 1,233,310 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 186.14 based on the approval granted at the AGM 2017. During 2018, Lundin Energy purchased an additional 640,000 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 186.77 based on the approval granted at the AGM 2017.
During 2020, Lundin Energy used 300,167 of the purchased own shares for settlement of the 2017 performance based incentive plan resulting in 1,573,143 of its own shares held by the Company by the end of the reporting period.
The AGM of Lundin Energy held on 30 March 2021 in Stockholm approved a cash dividend distribution for the year 2020 of USD 1.80 per share, to be paid in quarterly installments of USD 0.45 per share. Before payment, each quarterly dividend of USD 0.45 per share shall be converted into a SEK amount, and paid out in SEK, based on the USD to SEK exchange rate published by Sweden's central bank (Riksbanken) four business days prior to each record date (rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01 per share). The final USD equivalent amount received by the shareholders may therefore slightly differ depending on what the USD to SEK exchange rate is on the date of the dividend payment. Based on the number of shares outstanding, excluding own shares held by the Company, the approved dividend distribution amounted to MSEK 4,467.2, equaling MUSD 511.8 based on the exchange rate on the date of AGM approval.
The first dividend payment was made on 8 April 2021 and the second dividend payment was made on 7 July 2021. The third dividend payment is expected to be paid on 7 October 2021, with an expected record date of 4 October 2021 and expected ex-dividend date of 1 October 2021. The fourth dividend payment is expected to be paid on 11 January 2022, with an expected record date of 5 January 2022 and expected ex-dividend date of 4 January 2022.
In order to comply with Swedish company law, a maximum total SEK amount shall be pre-determined to ensure that the dividend distributed does not exceed the available distributable reserves of the Company and such maximum amount for the 2020 dividend has been set to a cap of SEK 7.636 billion (i.e., SEK 1.909 billion per quarter). If the total dividend would exceed the cap of SEK 7.636 billion, the dividend will be automatically adjusted downwards so that the total dividend corresponds to the cap of SEK 7.636 billion.
Lundin Energy's principles for remuneration and details of the long-term incentive plans are provided in the Company's 2020 Annual Report, Remuneration Report and in the materials provided to shareholders in respect of the 2021 AGM, available on www.lundin-energy.com

The AGM 2020 resolved a long-term performance based incentive plan in respect of Group management and a number of key employees. The plan is effective from 1 July 2020 and the 2020 award is accounted for from the second half of 2020. The total outstanding number of awards at 30 June 2021 was 411,897 and the awards vest over three years from 1 July 2020 subject to certain performance conditions being met.

The 2019 plan is effective from 1 July 2019 and the total outstanding number of awards at 30 June 2021 was 332,728 and the awards vest over three years from 1 July 2019 subject to certain performance conditions being met. The outstanding number of awards has increased from the original number of awards reflecting dividends paid since the award date. Each original award was fair valued at the date of grant at SEK 169.00 using an option pricing model.
The 2018 plan is effective from 1 July 2018 and the total outstanding number of awards at 30 June 2021 was 260,055 and the awards vest over three years from 1 July 2018 subject to certain performance conditions being met. Each original award was fair valued at the date of grant at SEK 167.10 using an option pricing model. The dividend equivalent on vested shares is paid in cash at vesting.
The interim Group report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The accounting policies adopted are in all aspects consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial reporting of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554).
Under Swedish company regulations it is not allowed to report the Parent Company results in any other currency than Swedish Krona or Euro and consequently the Parent Company's financial information is reported in Swedish Krona and not the Group's presentation currency of US Dollar.
The objective of Business Risk Management is to identify, understand and manage threats and opportunities within the business on a continual basis. This objective is achieved by creating a mandate and commitment to risk management at all levels of the business. This approach actively addresses risk as an integral and continual part of decision making within the Group and is designed to ensure that all risks are identified, fully acknowledged, understood and communicated well in advance. The ability to manage and or mitigate these risks represents a key component in ensuring that the business aim of the Company is achieved. Nevertheless, oil and gas exploration, development and production involve high operational and financial risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to fully eliminate or which are beyond the Company's control.
A detailed analysis of Lundin Energy's strategic, operational, financial and external risks and mitigation of those risks through risk management is described in Lundin Energy's 2020 Annual Report.
Lundin Energy has maintained a proactive approach in safeguarding the wellbeing of the Company's employees and contractors and ensuring the virus has minimal impact on its operations. To date there have been no disruptions to production due to the COVID-19 situation and while certain project activities have been affected, the disruptions have been successfully managed to avoid any negative impact on the production outlook.

There were no transfers between the levels during the reporting period.
The fair value of the financial assets is estimated to equal the carrying value. The fair value of the derivative instruments is calculated using the forward interest rate curve and the forward exchange rate curve respectively for the interest rate swap and the currency hedging contracts. The hedge counterparties are all banks which are party to the loan facility agreement. The sale of 2.6 percent of Johan Sverdrup during 2019 included a contingent consideration based on future reserve reclassifications and is due in 2026, This contingent consideration was fair valued by the Company in 2019 with no changes in subsequent years.

To the Board of Directors of Lundin Energy AB (publ)
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Lundin Energy AB (publ) as at June 30, 2021 and for the six months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
