ASX/Media Release

29 January 2021

Quarterly Report December 2020

Origin Energy (Origin) has released its Quarterly Report for the period to 31 December 2020, covering the performance of its Integrated Gas and Energy Markets divisions.

Integrated Gas: record production and increased revenue for the quarter

  • Record production by Australia Pacific LNG, rising 6 per cent from the September quarter in response to increased market demand and completion of planned maintenance.

  • Commodity revenue increased 6 per cent during the quarter as higher volumes offset lower realised contracted LNG prices. Sales volumes increased 12 per cent, with increased demand resulting in less banking of non-operated production and a draw down on LNG inventory.

  • December quarter realised gas price was A$6.17/GJ, comprising an average LNG price (contracted and spot) of US$5.20/mmbtu (A$6.70/GJ) and an average domestic price of A$4.40/GJ.

  • Cash distributions received from Australia Pacific LNG amounted to $265 million in the period.

  • Notice of Discovery lodged with Northern Territory government, with encouraging initial results from the Kyalla well in the Beetaloo. Further work is required to enable it to flow continually without assistance before commencing extended production testing during the dry season.

  • Announced a farm-in to prospective Canning Basin with an expected spend over two years of $35 million and options to assume operatorship for any significant gas and CCS developments.

Energy Markets: electricity volumes lower, gas volumes higher for the quarter

  • Electricity sales volume reduced 4 per cent on the December 2019 quarter: 5 per cent decrease in Retail due to milder weather, lower usage, and lower SME customer numbers; Business volumes 3 per cent lower with COVID-19 impacts partly offset by new contract wins.

  • Gas sales volume increased 1 per cent on the December 2019 quarter: 16 per cent increase in the business segment as contract wins more than offset a 6 per cent decline in retail largely due to COVID-19 impacts on SME and milder weather; gas used in generation fell 29 per cent.

  • Announced an additional ~$65 million investment in Octopus Energy to maintain Origin’s 20 per cent equity interest following a partnership between Octopus and Tokyo Gas that will see the launch of Octopus into Japan and Tokyo Gas take a 9.7 per cent stake in Octopus for US$200 million.

Origin CEO Frank Calabria said, “Strong gas production at Australia Pacific LNG for the quarter eclipsed the previous record, which combined with higher prices on short term domestic and LNG spot sales offset the lagged impact of lower oil prices under long term LNG contracts.

“We are encouraged by initial results in the Beetaloo, which met our primary objective to flow liquids rich gas to surface and confirmed elevated liquids yields and low levels of CO2.

“We recently farmed-in to the prospective Canning Basin, giving Origin positions in Australia’s three large prospective onshore basins – the Beetaloo, Canning and CooperEromanga – providing exposure to what we believe are the most prospective shale formations in Australia.

“In Energy Markets, electricity demand in the retail segment has increased 1 per cent for the year to date, as residential customers spent more time at home due to COVID-19. However,

1

we continue to see the impact of the pandemic in the SME and large business segments, particularly in Victoria, with mild summer conditions due to the La Niña weather pattern also impacting demand in the quarter.

“We are making strong progress on our Kraken rollout, passing the milestone of our first 50,000 customers migrated to the new platform in December 2020.

“We are excited by Octopus’ continued growth as it launches into the Japan market in partnership with Tokyo Gas. Tokyo Gas has also taken a 9.7 per cent equity stake in Octopus Energy representing a material value uplift since our initial investment, reflecting the company’s strong performance and impressive growth trajectory,” Mr Calabria said.

  • As at 31 December 2020, ~91% of APLNG’s FY2021 JCC oil exposure was priced at ~US$43/bbl, based on contract lags

  • The Dec 20 quarter saw an improvement in global oil demand, coinciding with OPEC+ supply restrictions, acting to support JCC, while JKM prices were buoyed by strong northern hemisphere winter demand and supply bottlenecks

  • Dec-20 quarter production up 6% from Sep-20 quarter:

  • Operated production up 7% in response to higher demand

  • Non-operated production up 5% with sustained facility reliability and well availability following completion of planned maintenance in the prior quarter

  • Dec-20 quarter sales volume up 12% vs Sep-20 quarter with increased demand resulting in less banking of non-operated production and a drawdown on LNG inventory due to cargo timing

  • FYTD-21 production relatively stable from prior year:

  • reduced production primarily in Sep-20 quarter at Condabri, Talinga, Orana in response to lower demand and planned facility maintenance

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

  • FYTD-21 sales volume down 5% as lower demand resulted in less purchases and lower volumes lifted from non-operated production, partially offset by a drawdown in LNG inventory

  • Capex was down $27 million (43%) from Sep-20 quarter with a continued reduction in development activity primarily related to improved field performance allowing reduced connections and commissioning, lower infrastructure spend and a decrease in non-operated development activity

  • Capex was down $68 million (41%) reflecting a ramp down in development activity enabled by strong field performance as well as lower exploration and nonoperated activity

  • Average NEM spot electricity price for Dec-20 quarter was $43.8/MWh, a significant decrease from $70.5/MWh in the Dec-19 quarter and in line with the Sep-20 quarter:

  • Decline from Dec-19 due to lower demand as a result of COVID-19, milder weather, lower fuel costs for gas and coal generation and increased renewable penetration

  • Average domestic spot gas price for Dec-20 quarter was $5.95/GJ, compared to $7.51/GJ in the Dec-19 quarter and $4.53/GJ in the Sep-20 quarter:

  • Decrease from Dec-19 driven by reduced demand as a result of COVID-19 and milder weather

  • Increase from Sep-20 driven by linkage to higher Asian LNG prices offsetting impacts of COVID-19 and milder weather

  • Weather corrected demand across all NEM states (ex Victoria), is 3% lower than pre-COVID levels having significantly recovered from a low of 10% in Apr-20. Retail volumes remain slightly above pre-COVID levels, buoyed by residential demand.

  • Weather corrected demand in Victoria remains below pre-COVID levels driven by lower C&I demand. Retail demand remains at pre-COVID levels with SME demand recovering considerably during the quarter.

  • As expected, capex is lower than the prior year primarily due to less generation spend, with the prior period including capex relating to a major outage at Eraring and Mortlake unit repairs

  • Dec-20 investments include payments relating to the 20% equity interest in Octopus Energy ($36 million) and deferred consideration for OC Energy ($11 million)
