Beach Energy Limited Half Year Report 3

Directors’ Report

For the half year ended 31 December 2024

The directors of Beach Energy Limited (Beach or the Company) present their report for the half year ended 31 December 2024 and the state of affairs of the Company at that date. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2024, presented on pages 14–29, form part of this report.

Operating results, review of operations, state of affairs and likely developments

Financial results from the half year are summarised below:

  • Group profit attributable to equity holders of Beach was $222.3 million (H1 FY24 $345.1 million loss).

  • The net profit after tax of $222.3 million reflects higher sales revenue, lower cost of sales and other expenses, partly offset by higher tax expenses.

  • Sales revenue was up 5% from H1 FY24 to $989.8 million driven by higher Otway and Bass basin production, an additional Waitsia LNG swap cargo and higher gas prices, partly offset by lower third party sales and unfavourable liquids prices.

  • Cost of sales were down 5% from H1 FY24 to $680.7 million, mainly driven by lower third party purchases and field operating costs partly offset by higher tolling expense.

Beach Energy Limited Half Year Report 4

Directors’ Report

For the half year ended 31 December 2024

Revenue

Sales revenue of $989.8 million in H1 FY25 was $48.8 million or 5% higher than H1 FY24, driven by higher Otway and Bass basin production, an additional Waitsia LNG swap cargo and higher realised gas prices, partly offset by unfavourable oil and liquids prices and lower third party sales. Higher production in the Otway and Bass basins, in addition to two LNG cargoes (H1 FY24: one LNG cargo), partly fulfilled using gas swaps, contributed $75.7 million. Higher gas prices lifted revenues by $70.7 million with realised gas prices increasing 18% to $10.48/GJ. This was partly offset by lower sales volumes from third party product purchases ($58.9 million), lower oil and liquid prices ($33.4 million), average realised liquid prices decreasing 12% to US$71.97/boe, and unfavourable FX movements ($5.3 million).

Gross Profit

Gross profit for H1 FY25 of $362.9 million (H1 FY24 $264.5 million) was $98.4 million or 37% higher than H1 FY24, driven by an increase in sales and other revenue and a $36.8 million reduction in cost of sales. The reduction in cost of sales was primarily due to lower third-party purchases of $58.8 million, due to the prior corresponding period's LNG and condensate purchases to fulfil cargoes, and cost reduction activity driving lower current period field operating costs by $10.0 million, partly offset by higher tariffs and tolls ($35.1 million) and depreciation charges.

Net Profit Result

Other expenses of $29.0 million were $730.6 million lower than H1 FY24 with the prior period including the $721.2 million impairment of non-current assets.

The reported net profit after income tax of $222.3 million is $567.4 million higher than H1 FY24, due to lower other expenses and higher revenues, partly offset by higher income tax corresponding with higher profits.

By adjusting the reported net profit after income tax for the one-off items below, Beach's underlying net profit after tax is $236.9 million. Tariffs incurred for unutilised capacity in relation to the NWS processing of $20.9 million as well as legal costs and insurance recoveries related to the class action defence costs included in the reported result have been excluded from the calculation of underlying net profit after tax.

Beach Energy Limited Half Year Report 7

Directors’ Report

For the half year ended 31 December 2024

Perth Basin

Production

Total production of 0.8 MMboe was in-line with the prior corresponding period (H1 FY24: 0.8 MMboe) and comprised 4.8 PJ of sales gas. The Beharra Springs and Xyris gas plants operated steadily at average rates of 23 TJ/day gross and 29 TJ/day gross, respectively.

Waitsia Stage 2

The 250 TJ/day Waitsia Gas Plant reached mechanical completion during the period and completed the transition from the construction phase to the commissioning phase.

As announced on 9 December 2024, quality issues identified at the Xyris to Waitsia flowline valve station delayed the introduction of fuel gas into the Waitsia Gas Plant. These identified quality issues are being addressed and introduction of fuel gas is now expected in Q3 FY25.

The Waitsia Joint Venture is working closely with contractor Clough to mitigate potential for further schedule delays. Beach has seconded 20 senior personnel to the project and early initiatives have been identified to streamline commissioning.

Otway Basin

Production

Total production of 3.4 MMboe was 118% above the prior corresponding period (H1 FY24: 1.6 MMboe) and comprised 17.0 PJ of sales gas (+121%), 28 kt of LPG (+82%) and 286 kbbl of condensate (+129%). The increase in production was mostly due to connection to the Otway Gas Plant of the Enterprise gas field in June 2024 and the Thylacine West 1 and 2 development wells in October 2024 and higher customer nominations, resulting from an uplift in take-or-pay volume.

Exploration, appraisal and development

Beach completed the offshore Otway development program with the Thylacine West 1 and 2 development wells brought online in October 2024. Well deliverability for the Otway Gas Plant has been restored to nameplate capacity, which provides greater flexibility to service East Coast gas demand. This marked completion of the largest ever offshore drilling and development program in the Otway Basin.

Planning, contracting, regulatory approvals and community consultation for the next phase of offshore Victoria activity progressed during the period.

First sales gas from the Waitsia Gas Plant in Q4 FY25 is targeted.

Acreage description

Exploration, appraisal and development

Following completion of abandonment activity in the Waitsia L1 permit and a third-party assignment, the Ventia 106 rig commenced the next phase of development drilling in the Waitsia field with three wells drilled during the period. Waitsia 12 intersected 37 metres of net gas pay across a 68-metre gross section of Kingia reservoir. Waitsia 16 intersected 20 metres of net gas pay across a 110-metre gross section of the Kingia and High Cliff reservoirs. Waitsia 17 intersected 26 metres of net gas pay across a 79-metre gross section of the Kingia and Highcliff reservoirs. The wells were completed and suspended for future connection to the Waitsia Gas Plant.

The WA 1 appraisal well spudded in mid-December 2024 and reached total measured depth of 3,447 metres after half year-end. Poor reservoir development was encountered at the objective levels and the well did not meet modelled deliverability thresholds required for completion. The well was plugged and suspended after quarter-end for a potential future side-track.

The Ventia 106 rig will next conduct the nearby Eremia decommissioning program and then mobilise to drill the Arenaria 1 exploration well from the L1 permit. The well will target the Kingia reservoir and, if successful, production volumes may be available for LNG export under the existing Waitsia export licence. Arenaria 1 is expected to spud in Q3 FY25.

Commercial

Production from the Xyris Gas Plant and third-party gas sourced via swap arrangements enabled processing and lifting of the third and fourth Waitsia LNG swap cargoes at the North West Shelf. The cargoes were sold to bp under the existing LNG SPA at an average realised price of $17.3 per MMBtu, delivering revenue of $139 million.

Otway Basin (Victoria) (Beach 60% and operator, OGOG (Otway) Pty Ltd 40%) includes producing nearshore licence VIC/L1(V) which contains the Halladale, Black Watch and Speculant gas fields, nearshore production licence VIC/L007745(V), containing the Enterprise gas field, and offshore licences VIC/L23, T/L2, T/L3 and T/L4 which contain the Geographe and Thylacine gas fields.

Beach Energy Limited Half Year Report 8

Directors’ Report

For the half year ended 31 December 2024

Cooper Basin JV

Production

Total production of 3.2 MMboe was 7% below the prior corresponding period (H1 FY24: 3.4 MMboe) and comprised 0.4 MMbbl of oil (-12%), 13.9 PJ of sales gas (-5%), 25 kt of LPG (-16%) and 185 kbbl of condensate (-7%).

Exploration, appraisal and development

Beach participated in 59 wells including one CO2 injector well and two wells in-progress at half year-end. An overall success rate of 84% was achieved from two oil exploration wells, six oil appraisal wells, 11 oil development wells, three gas exploration wells, 10 gas appraisal wells and 24 gas development wells.

One oil discovery was made in the Raffle field and a 14-well oil appraisal and development campaign targeting the Coorikiana reservoir was completed with success in the Bugito, Isoptera, Jena, Odonata, Secante and Wallace fields. Three horizontal oil development wells were successfully drilled in the Biala field.

Gas discoveries were made at Gloss 1, Malrus 1 and Snowball 1 and the wells were cased and suspended as future producers. The 22-well appraisal campaign targeting expansion of the Moomba North Patchawarra development area continued with 14 wells cased and suspended. The 22-well appraisal campaign in the Moomba South development area was completed with 21 wells cased and suspended across the campaign. An eight-well gas development campaign in the Moomba South development area continued with four wells cased and suspended during the period.

Western Flank

Production

Total production of 1.3 MMboe was 31% below the prior corresponding period (H1 FY24: 1.9 MMboe) and comprised 0.9 MMbbl of oil (-32%), 1.4 PJ of sales gas (-29%), 7 kt of LPG (-25%) and 49 kbbl of condensate (-34%). The decrease in production was mainly due to natural field decline, partially mitigated through strong reservoir performance, high facility uptime and ongoing optimisation activities.

Exploration, appraisal and development

No drilling was undertaken during the period. Drill rig negotiations are underway for a development and appraisal campaign of up to 10 wells commencing in Q4 FY25. Planning continued for a potential exploration drilling campaign in FY26.

Moomba CCS

As announced 17 October 2024, the Moomba CCS project was successfully commissioned with first CO2 injection achieved on 30 September 2024. Following first CO2 injection, daily injection reached capacity rates in mid-October. This exceeded expectations for the commissioning phase and indicated the project’s potential to capture and store approximately 1.7 million tonnes of CO2 per annum.

Since commissioning, Moomba CCS has performed in-line with expectations and over 300 ktCO2e (gross) were injected in the three months to 31 December 2024.

Moomba CCS is adjacent to the Moomba Gas Plant. The project comprises a four-stage compressor, five injection wells, CO2 dehydration and CO2 pipelines. Depleted underground reservoirs in the Strzelecki and Marabooka fields will safely store produced reservoir CO2 from the Moomba Gas Plant.

Total production of 0.8 MMboe was 10% above the prior corresponding period (H1 FY24: 0.7 MMboe) and comprised 3.6 PJ of sales gas (+9%), 16 kt of LPG (+14%) and 77 kbbl of condensate (+4%). The increase in production was mainly due to higher plant up-time given completion of integrity inspections, maintenance activities and drilling of the Kupe South 9 development well during the prior corresponding period.

Acreage description

New Zealand operations comprise the offshore Kupe field (Beach 50% and operator, Genesis 46%, Echelon Taranaki Limited 4%) in the Taranaki Basin. Beach produces gas from Kupe, situated approximately 30 km off the New Zealand north island coast in licence PML 38146. Gas from the Kupe field is piped to the onshore Kupe Gas Plant.

Beach Energy Limited Half Year Report 17

Notes to the Half Year Consolidated Financial Statements

For the half year ended 31 December 2024 Beach Energy Limited and Controlled Entities

Basis of preparation of Half Year Financial Report

Beach Energy Limited (Beach or the Company) is a for profit company limited by shares, incorporated in Australia and whose shares are publicly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Half Year Financial Report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2024 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the Group). The Half Year Financial Report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 6 February 2025.

The 2024 Annual Report is available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Level 8, 80 Flinders Street, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 or at www.beachenergy.com.au.

The Half Year Financial Report for the six months ended 31 December 2024 is a general purpose report prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . It is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of the Group and as such they do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in the annual report. It is recommended that they be read in conjunction with the 2024 Annual Report and any public announcements made by Beach during the half year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. The functional and presentation currency for the Company is Australian dollars.

The Half Year Financial Report for the six months ended 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the 2024 Annual Report and have been consistently applied by the entities in the Group except for those that have arisen as a result of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations effective from 1 July 2024. The Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half year. These have not had a significant or immediate impact on the Group’s Half Year Financial Report.

In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published its Pillar Two model rules to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the global economy. The Group is subject to the Pillar Two rules in Australia from 1 July 2024, after the Australian Government enacted legislation to give effect to the rules in December 2024. Based on current information available and work done to date, the Group expects to be able to rely on the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbours, such that no material current tax is expected in the initial years of operation of the rules. The Group is continuing to assess the on-going impact of the application of the rules. The Group has applied the temporary mandatory relief under AASB 2023-2 from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the additional tax at 31 December 2024.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. Where there has been a change in the classification of items in the financial statements for the current period, the comparative for the previous period has been reclassified to be consistent with the classification of that item in the current period.

Critical accounting estimates & judgements

The preparation of the Half Year Financial Report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this Half Year Financial Report, 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 that applied to the financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024 unless noted otherwise.

The Half Year Financial Report has been prepared using a going concern basis of preparation and the Group continues to be able to pay its debts as they fall due.

RESULTS FOR THE HALF YEAR

This section explains the results and performance of the Group including additional information about those individual line items in the financial statements most relevant in the context of the operations of the Group, including accounting policies that are relevant for understanding the items recognised in the financial statements and an analysis of the Group’s result for the year by reference to key areas, including operating segments, revenue, expenses, taxation and earnings per share.

1. Segment information

The Group has identified its operating segments to be its South Australian, Western Australian, Victorian and New Zealand interests based on the different geographical regions and the similarity of assets within those regions. This is the basis on which internal reports are provided to the Chief Executive Officer for assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources within the Group.

The Group operates primarily in one business, namely the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons. Revenue is derived from the sale of gas and liquid hydrocarbons. Gas sales contracts are spread across major Australian and New Zealand energy retailers and industrial users with liquid hydrocarbon product sales being made to major multi-national energy companies based on international market pricing.

Details of the performance of each of these operating segments for the six month period ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 are set out below.

Impairment of Petroleum Assets

The carrying amounts of petroleum assets are assessed half yearly on a cash generating unit (CGU) basis to determine whether there is an indication of impairment or impairment reversal for those assets which have previously been impaired. The only indicator of impairment or impairment reversal identified in the period related to the Bass Basin CGU where there was a revision of the cost estimates used to calculate the restoration provision which has increased the carrying value. The recoverable amount of the Bass Basin CGU has been reassessed using updated production and cost information following successful wellbore intervention activities and there is no impairment required as at 31 December 2024. Other key estimates and judgements used have not materially changed from those that applied to the financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective Area of Interest (AOI). Each potential or recognised AOI is reviewed half-yearly to determine whether economic quantities of reserves have been found or whether further exploration and evaluation work is underway or planned to support continued carry forward of capitalised costs. Where a potential impairment is indicated, assessment is performed using a fair value less costs to dispose method to determine the recoverable amount for each AOI to which the exploration and evaluation expenditure is attributed. No indicators of impairment were identified in the period. The key estimates and judgements used have not materially changed from those that applied to the financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Impairment of intangible assets

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less cost of disposal. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless the asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess recognised in profit or loss. No indicators of impairment were identified in the period. The key estimates and judgements used have not materially changed from those that applied to the financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Estimate of restoration costs

Whilst the provisions reflect the Group’s best estimate based on current knowledge and information, further studies and detailed analysis of the restoration activities for individual assets will continue to be performed when planning and/or executing decommissioning activities in the near term, near the end of an asset’s operational life and when detailed decommissioning plans are required to be submitted to the relevant regulatory authorities. The timing and amount of future costs relating to decommissioning and environmental liabilities together with the inflation and discount rates are reviewed annually or half-yearly where there are significant changes. Actual costs and cash outflows can materially differ from the current estimate as a result of changes in laws & regulations and their application, prices, discovery and analysis of site conditions, public expectations, further studies, timing of restoration and changes in removal technology. These uncertainties may result in actual costs and cash outflows differing from amounts included in the provision recognised as at 31 December 2024.

Fair Values

Certain assets and liabilities of the Group are recognised in the statement of financial position at their fair value in accordance with accounting standard AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement. The methods used in estimating fair value are made according to how the available information to value the asset or liability fits with the following fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets;

  • Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; and

  • Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The methods and valuation techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value are unchanged compared to the previous reporting period.

The Group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at 31 December 2024 and there have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the half year to 31 December 2024.

The Group also has a number of other financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables which are recorded at their carrying value which is considered to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ( including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, 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 Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does 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.
