ASX/Media Release

30 April 2021

Quarterly Report March 2021

Origin Energy (Origin) has released its Quarterly Report for the period to 31 March 2021, covering the performance of its Integrated Gas and Energy Markets divisions.

Integrated Gas:

  • March quarter production down 4 per cent from December quarter due to planned maintenance activities in operated fields, and two less days in the quarter.

  • Commodity revenue up 7 per cent from December quarter driven by higher realised oil and spot LNG prices. Sales volume declined 6 per cent with lower production and timing of cargoes.

  • March quarter realised gas sales price was A$7.05/GJ, comprising an average LNG price (contracted and spot) of US$6.45/mmbtu (A$7.89/GJ) and an average domestic price of A$4.03/GJ (legacy and short-term contracts).

Energy Markets:

  • Electricity sales volume reduced 4 per cent on the March 2020 quarter: Retail down 4 per cent due to milder weather and lower usage; Business volumes were also 4 per cent lower with COVID-19 impacts partly offset by new contract wins.

  • Gas sales volumes decreased 27 per cent on the March 2020 quarter: 19 per cent decrease in the business segment due to expiration of contracts and COVID-19 impacts; Retail volumes were flat with higher customer numbers offsetting lower small business usage. Gas used in generation fell 59 per cent due to lower electricity pool prices.

Origin CEO Frank Calabria said, “The performance of Integrated Gas continues to stand out, with higher realised prices driving an increase in revenue this quarter and Australia Pacific LNG shipping its 600[th] cargo to customers. Due to the lag in the LNG contracts, we expect recent higher oil prices to flow through to contract revenues in the 2022 financial year.

“The combination of strong production and operating and cost discipline has helped to reduce the FY2021 distribution breakeven, with full-year cash distributions to Origin expected to be greater than $650 million.

“Exploration continues in the Beetaloo Basin, including planning for an extended production test at the Kyalla-117 well in late FY2021 and drilling the Velkerri-76 vertical well in early FY2022, both targeting liquids-rich gas.

“In Energy Markets, continued impacts of COVID-19 as well as very mild summer weather contributed to subdued demand and wholesale pricing across electricity and gas markets. Electricity demand is down 4 per cent year on year and gas demand down 27 per cent, with COVID still impacting service sector business volumes and demand for gas fired generation in particular.

“We continue to target significant retail cost savings and are on track to achieve $100 million in savings by the end of FY2021. We’re pleased to see growth in Origin customer accounts over the period, particularly in Community Energy Services and natural gas as well as impressive growth at Octopus Energy, as it adds more than 100,000 customers per month in the UK and expands into new markets like Japan,” Mr Calabria said.

APLNG’s effective oil price in the Mar-21 quarter was US$44/bbl (A$57/bbl), up from US$34/bbl (A$46/bbl) in the Dec-20
quarter and down from US$65/bbl (A$99/bbl) in the Mar-20 quarter
----- End of picture text -----

  • FY2021 APLNG related JCC oil exposure has now been fully priced in at ~US$43/bbl, based on contract lags. More recent higher oil prices will flow through into the effective price for FY2022

  • Continued OPEC+ supply restrictions and global oil demand recovery supported improvements in JCC prices. Spot LNG prices spiked in February driven by strong northern hemisphere winter demand and supply bottlenecks

  • Minimal benefit from higher spot LNG prices during the quarter due to strong contracted LNG demand in CY2021

  • Mar-21 quarter production down 4% from Dec-20 quarter:

  • Reduced operated production due to planned maintenance activities in Reedy Creek and Orana, and two less days in the quarter

  • Mar-21 quarter sales volume down 6% from Dec-20 quarter due to lower production and timing of cargoes

  • FYTD-21 production relatively stable from prior year:

  • Reductions at Condabri, Talinga, Orana in response to lower demand and planned maintenance early in the year

  • Partially offset by increases at Reedy Creek/Combabula with ramp up of the ERIC pipeline in the prior period

  • FYTD-21 sales volume down 4% due to less purchases and lower volumes lifted from non-operated production as a result of lower demand early in the year.

  • Capex was down $8 million (22%) from Dec-20 quarter, lower than expected primarily due to timing of operated and non-operated spend

  • Capex was down $117 million (48%) in FYTD-21 reflecting a ramp down in drilling activity enabled by strong field performance, lower infrastructure spend as well as lower exploration and non-operated activity

  • Average NEM spot electricity price for Mar-21 quarter was $36.3/MWh, a significant decrease from $70.6/MWh in the Mar-20 quarter and $7.5/MWh lower than Dec-20 quarter:

  • Decline from Mar-20 quarter due to extreme events including bushfires and strong winds which disrupted interconnectors and Snowy Hydro generation during the Mar-20 quarter. Increased renewable penetration and lower demand with residual COVID19 impacts put further downward pressure on prices during Mar-21 quarter.

  • Decline from Dec-20 quarter was mainly driven by higher baseload and solar availability

  • Average domestic spot gas price for Mar-21 quarter was $6.07/GJ, a 6% increase of from $5.74/GJ in the Mar-20 quarter and 2% increase from $5.95/GJ in the Dec-20 quarter:

  • Increase from both Dec-20 and Mar-20 quarters driven by linkage to higher Asian LNG prices, offsetting ongoing demand impacts from COVID-19
