HIGHLIGHTS AND EVENTS

First Quarter 2022 Highlights and Events

Panoro Energy ASA ("Panoro" or the "Company" with OSE Ticker: PEN) is pleased to report that working interest production for the first three months averaged 8,300 bopd, a new quarterly record for the Company. Operational and financial performance in the quarter were in line with guidance. The Company is underpinned by a robust balance sheet with cash at end March 2022 of USD 29.4 million and a conservative leverage profile. With a period of sizeable crude oil liftings set to commence in July and limited production hedged the Company is well positioned to capitalise on the elevated oil price environment.

Financial Highlights

  • › The Company recognises revenue when liftings of its crude oil entitlement occur. In line with previously communicated guidance Panoro lifted and sold 128,500 barrels in the period at an average realised price of USD 108 per barrel
  • › Consequently, revenue from oil sales for the first three months was USD 13.9 million with total reported revenue for the period standing at USD 16.2 million. EBITDA for the first three months was USD 16 million
  • › Management expects the majority of its crude oil liftings to occur in the second half of the year, starting with July (approximately 850,000 barrels), followed by September (approximately 700,000 barrels) and December (approximately 750,000 barrels), all subject to possible changes due to operational and commercial factors
  • › At 31 March cash at bank stood at USD 29.4 million and gross debt USD 89.1 million after scheduled principal repayments of USD 8.1 million were made in the quarter, resulting in a net debt position of approximately USD 59.7 million
  • › Capital expenditures for 2022 (excluding acquisition costs) are expected to be approximately USD 65 million, of which USD 10.9 million was spent in the first thr.1ee months and the majority of which is in relation to the Hibiscus / Ruche Phase I development
  • › Management is implementing a hedging programme to coincide with the Company's lifting schedule and maximise its exposure to the prevailing high oil price environment. In addition to the limited historical hedges in place over 600 bopd in 2022 (costless collars with a USD 56/bbl floor and USD 65.5/bbl ceiling) the Company has entered into swaps covering 200,000 barrels at a price of USD 104.5/bbl around its July liftings

Operational Highlights

Equatorial Guinea – Block G (Panoro 14.25%)

  • › Company working interest production in the first three months averaged 4,968 bopd (34,866 bopd on a gross basis)
  • › Uptime of 99% was achieved at the Ceiba FPSO in Q1 2022 as a result of facilities investments made by the JV in prior periods
  • › The operator of Block G, Trident Energy, is undertaking a workover programme at the Okume Complex and has completed the Okume upgrade project which will improve process reliability, power generation and fluid handling / injection capabilities
  • › Replacement of the Ceiba export has been completed and various routine maintenance and upgrade projects progressed during the quarter
  • › On 9 May, post period end, the Company announced that the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons of Equatorial Guinea and the Joint Venture partners at Block G offshore Equatorial Guinea have agreed a material time extension of the Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") until 31 December 2040 covering both the producing Ceiba and Okume Complex Fields. Prior to the extension the PSC expiry for the Ceiba Field was 2029 and for the Okume Complex

field 2034. Management expects that Panoro's net 2P reserves will increase by between 2 to 3 million barrels as a result of the PSC extension

› The extension will support future phases of investment with a three-well development drilling programme now expected to commence in H2 2023

Gabon – Dussafu Marin Permit (Panoro 17.5%)

  • › Company working interest production in the first three months averaged 2,030 bopd (11,600 bopd on a gross basis)
  • › Production in the period reflects a 12-day planned annual maintenance shut-down which was pre-communicated by the operator BW Energy
  • › The Hibiscus/Ruche Phase 1 development project is progressing

Tunisia – TPS Assets (Panoro 29.4%)

  • › Company working interest production in the first three months averaged 1,304 bopd (4,435 bopd on a gross basis)

Exploration and Other Assets

  • › In South Africa the Block 2B joint venture has contracted a semi-submersible rig to drill the Gazania-1 exploration well, which is expected to spud in September 2022. The Island Innovator drilling rig is now expected to mobilise from the North Sea in July. The Gazania prospect is seven kilometres up-dip from the existing A-J1 oil discovery from 1988 that flowed light sweet crude oil to surface. Panoro holds a 12.5% interest in Block 2B
  • › Panoro continues to make progress towards the sale of its interest in OML 113 and the Aje field to PetroNor E&P. The long stop date has been extended to 30 June to accommodate procedural steps to completion. Upon completion Panoro will dividend shares in PetroNor E&P received as consideration to shareholders

Outlook and Guidance

  • › Full year 2022 average working interest production guidance is unchanged at 8,000 bopd to 9,000 bopd in 2022, of which approximately 60% is attributed to Equatorial Guinea, 25% to Gabon and 15% to Tunisia
  • › Panoro remains on track to achieve approximately 10,000 bopd net working interest production around year end following both the start-up of the Hibiscus/Ruche Phase 1 development offshore Gabon and activities in Equatorial Guinea, increasing to an expected rate in excess of 12,500 bopd during 2023
  • › Consistent with its strategy to create and deliver shareholder value, the Panoro Board is committed to sustainable shareholder returns and initiating a meaningful cash dividend at the earliest opportunity, which will be influenced principally by the completion of major crude oil liftings for the Company

*There were no liftings at Block G, Equatorial Guinea during the first quarter resulting in a change from overlift position of USD 7.7 million at 31 December 2021 to an underlift position at 31 March 2022 of USD 4.3 million, with the movement reflected in cost of sales.

**Other non-operating items for Q4 2021 include Salloum penalty of USD 6.4 million paid to the Tunisian Government and write-off of old warehouse inventory of USD 0.8 million.

Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax is considered by the Group to be a useful non-GAAP financial measure to help understand underlying operational performance. The foregoing analysis has also been performed including, on an adjusted basis, the Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax from continuing operations of the Group. A reconciliation with adjustments to arrive at the Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax from continuing operations is included in the table below:

Q1 Q4 Q1
Amounts in USD 000 2022 2021 2021
Net income/(loss) before tax - continuing operations (2,203) 17,963 654
Share based payments 369 377 231
Non-recurring costs 99 112 439
Other non-operating items - 7,129 -
Unrealised (gain)/loss on commodity hedges 3,134 (768) 1,638
Underlying operating profit/(loss) before tax 1,399 24,813 2,962

Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Underlying Operating Profit/(loss) before tax as Net income (loss) from continuing operations before tax adjusted for (i) Share based payment charges, (ii) unrealised (gain) loss on commodity hedges, (iii) (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (iv) impairments write-off's and reversals, and (v) similar other material items which management believes affect the comparability of operating results. We bel ieve that Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax and other similar measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the oil and gas sec tor and will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods, among securities analysts, as well as company by company. Because EBITDA and Underlying Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, these measures as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

By virtue of a shareholder agreement with Beender, Panoro's investment in Sfax Petroleum Corporation AS ("Sfax Corp) is 60%. As such, only 60% of the account balances and transactions of the Tunisian acquisitions have been included on a line by line basis in Panoro's financial statements from their respective completion dates by prop ortionally consolidating the results and balances of Sfax Corp and its subsidiaries.

In October 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to divest all its operations in Nigeria to PetroNor, thereby resulting in changes to presentation of the results, operations and assets and liabilities of the disposal group comprising of the Divested Subsidiaries. The results and operations of the Divested Subsidiaries met the criteria of Discontinued Operations under IFRS 5 and have therefore been isolated and removed from "Continuing activities" and re-classified and presented as a separate line item "Discontinued Operations" in the statement of comprehensive income. Comparatives for the periods presented, pertaining to Discontinued Operations, have also been re-classified in accordance with the accounting standards. Furthermore, assets and liabilities pertaining to the Divested Subsidiaries have also been isolated and presented in separate line items in the statement of financial position.

Total carrying value 2,708 4,507

The non-recourse loan is repayable through Panoro's 7.4997% working interest allocation of the cost oil in accordance with the Dussafu PSC, after paying for the proportionate field operating expenses. The repayment period has started after achieving production on Dussafu and will repaid from Panoro's portion of upcoming crude oil sales. During the repayment phase, Panoro will still be entitled to its share of profit oil from the Dussafu operations.

Since the repayment of the loan is linked to production and impacted by oil prices and operating expenses ; judgement has been exercised in estimation of these values. The actual repayments may therefore vary from the estimates in current and non-current portions recognised as of the date of the statement of financial position.
