Q3 2024 9M 2024
Volumes lifted 397,652 barrels 2,079,546 barrels
Average realised price after adjustments and customary fees USD 80.21 per barrel USD 80.36 per barrel
Proceeds USD 31.9 million USD 167.1 million
  • › In Q4 to date Panoro has completed aggregate scheduled liftings of 351,067 barrels (which included a Tunisian lifting of 171,498 barrels previously expected to occur in late Q3) at an average realised oil price of USD 73.27 per barrel
  • › Full-year 2024 liftings are expected to be approximately 3.5 million barrels (unchanged) with approximately 1.4 million barrels lifted / to be lifted in Q4 (approximately 40 per cent of annual volume lifted in Q4)
  • › The Company has hedges in place covering 490,000 barrels of remaining Q4 liftings at an average floor price of USD 70.9 per barrel through a mix of collars and swaps

Financial update

  • › Reported revenue in Q3 was USD 36 million (Q2: USD 73.9 million)
  • › Q3 EBITDA was USD 23.7 million (Q2: USD 39.1 million) with profit before tax of USD 4.3 million (Q2: USD 21.3 million) and net profit for the period of USD 0.3 million (Q2: 12.1 million)
  • › Reported revenue for the first nine months was USD 178.8 million (9M 2023: USD 173.5 million)
  • › EBITDA for the first nine months was USD 101.4 million (9M 2023: USD 103.7 million) with profit before tax of USD 46.6 million (9M 2023: USD 61.2 million) and net profit of USD 24.4 million (9M 2023: 28.8 million)
  • › Based on barrels already lifted and sold and scheduled remaining liftings in Q4 the Company expects EBITDA for full year 2024 will be approximately USD 150 million (assuming an average price realisation of USD 70 per barrel for remaining 2024 liftings)
  • › Cash at bank at 30 September was USD 18.7 million which includes advances taken against future oil liftings of USD 10.4 million
  • › The amount owing under the Company's RBL facility at 30 September 2024 was USD 72.8 million which included USD 2.4 million accrued interest which was paid in early October (excluding accrued interest the amount owing at 30 September 2024 was USD 70.5 million)
  • › As previously communicated there has been upwards pressure on the Company's full-year capital expenditure guidance of USD 75 million, now estimated at approximately USD 95 million primarily due to the amended drilling programs in both Equatorial Guinea and Gabon:
    • o Note that capital expenditure at producing assets is cost recoverable under the terms of Panoro's production sharing contracts and tax provisions
    • o The rig extension and expanded drilling campaign offshore Gabon has resulted in a total of eight new production wells (compared to six wells originally planned) and a gross 2P reserve addition of 23.1 million barrels from new discoveries made with E&A pilot wells also added into the drilling programme
    • o The rescheduled infill drilling campaign offshore Equatorial Guinea has resulted in excess capital expenditure
    • o Lower than expected spend in Tunisia partially offsetting the above
  • › Preliminary expectations for group capital expenditure in 2025 are unchanged at approximately USD 40 million
  • › Post period end in October the Company made use of additional capacity in its lending facility of an additional USD 12 million to provide additional short-term working capital during this period of heavy development activity

Shareholder returns

  • › Panoro today declares a Q3 2024 cash distribution of NOK 50 million to be paid in December as a return of paid in capital
  • › Under the share buy-back programme announced on 23 May 2024 (of up to NOK 100 million) the Company, as at close of business on 15 November, had purchased a total of 1,281,500 of its own shares at a weighted average price of NOK 31.8821 per share, corresponding to 1.10 per cent of Panoro's share capital
  • › Panoro remains committed to delivering regular and sustainable shareholder returns in line with its previously communicated 2024 shareholder returns policy

Production operations update

Equatorial Guinea – Block G (Panoro 14.25 per cent)

  • › The C-45 and OF-19 infill wells were drilled with the Noble Venturer drill ship and both encountered good quality oil saturated reservoir sands in un-swept zones of the Ceiba field and Okume Complex respectively
  • › The C-45 infill was put onstream on 1 November at an initial gross rate in excess of 5,000 bopd. The OF-19 infill well is now starting up production as planned

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:

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 believe 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 sector 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.
