Third Quarter 2019 Summary

Total revenue in the third quarter was USD 25.0 million (28.2 in Q3-18). Reported operating profit was USD 7.4 million (14.0 in Q3-18). The lower operating profit in Q3 2019 is mainly due to higher depreciation and relinquishment of PL 776.

EBITDAX amounted to USD 17.5 million (18.4 in Q3-2018). Net profit was USD 3.5 million (6.8 in Q3-2018).

The total revenue was driven by revenues related to oil sales from the Valhall and Hod fields, (348 kboe in Q3-19 compared to 352 kboe in Q3-18). Average realised oil price was USD 64.4 ( 75.5 in Q3-18) per bbl.

The operating expenses amounted to USD 7.5 (9.5 in Q3-18) million.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 29.9 million, driven by investments in the Valhall field, mainly Flank West development and Infill Drilling and the Duva development.

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 203.9 million at the end of the third quarter, compared to USD 129.4 million in Q3-18.

Financial Review Operational Review

Valhall area

Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 4.5 (2.7 in Q2-2019) thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during third quarter, representing a 64 per cent increase from the previous quarter, however below plan mainly due to delays in the stimulation program and consequently start of production from new wells following the planned maintenance shutdown in June. The delay has no impact on reserves.

Stimulation operations have been performed at the southern flank and the field center in order to bring new wells on stream. Slot recovery commenced on the field center in preparation for drilling operations and development of the lower Hod formation.

At Valhall West the first two wells were successfully drilled and completed during the quarter. These wells are now waiting stimulation before the start-up of production. In order to maximize recovery and value from the Valhall area the partnership has sanctioned two infill wells on the Valhall Flank West which will be drilled back-to-back with the six wells originally planned.

Duva project

Pandion Energy has agreed to divest its 20% share in the Duva field through two transactions, one with PGNiG Upstream Norway AS and on with Solveig Gas Norway AS, each acquiring a 10% share in PL 636 and PL 636B. The transactions are subject to customary conditions for completion, including approval by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.

The development plan for the Duva project (formerly known as Cara discovery) in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea was approved earlier this year. The Duva filed will be developed as a subsea tie-back to the nearby Gjøa platform, with first production expected in late 2020/early 2021.

Third Quarter 2019 Summary

Operational Review (cont)

Value creation

With the sale of the share (20%) in the Duva field the Company crystallize some of the value created in the asset portfolio to date, further strengthening Pandion Energy`s capacity to act on future opportunities. Pandion Energy will continue to be an active and responsible partner in driving value in high quality assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and potential act on sources to increase and crystallize value including acquisitions, farm-ins, participation in licensing rounds, divestments and farm-outs.

Accounting principles

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the bases of simplified IFRS pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act §3-9 and regulations regarding simplified application of IFRS issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on 3 November 2014, thus the interim financial statements do not include all information required by simplified IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company annual financial statement as at 31 December 2018.

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

As described in the company's annual financial statements for 2018, one new accounting standard entered into force from 1 January 2019, IFRS 16. Pandion has assessed the impact of IFRS 16 on the interim financial statements and identified the office lease agreement containing a lease after IFRS 16. The impact on the balance sheet is presented on separate balance sheet items.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the Financial Statements for 2018.

NOTE 10 LEASING AND LONG TERM COMMITMENTS

Pandion Energy has implemented IFRS 16 without restatement of prior periods, as permitted in the standard. The difference between the operating lease commitments after IAS 17, as disclosed in the 2018 financial statements, and lease debt recognized at initial application is reconciled in the table below.

Short term leases (less than 12 months) and low value leases have not been included. The lease does not contain any restriction on the company`s dividend policy or financing. Extension options are included when it, based on management's judgement, is reasonably certain to be exercised. The incremental borrowing rate applied in discounting of the nominal lease debt is 7 per cent.

Pandion Energy has recognised the lease related to office facilities as a lease after IFRS 16. The original contract runs for five years from 2018 and contain a renewal option for another three years. The company has entered into an additional agreement for extra office space running from June 2019. The lease has an arrangement with contingent payment if the Company brings the lease to an end after three years. The Contingent payment will then be equal to six months rental payment. The lease does not contain any restriction on the company`s dividend policy or financing.
