Introduction

General information

These interim financial statements for Pandion Energy AS ("Pandion Energy" or "the company") have been prepared to comply with:

  • The revolving exploration finance facility agreement dated 13 November 2017
  • The borrowing base facility agreement dated 9 April 2018
  • Bond terms for senior unsecured bond dated 3 April 2018

These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors.

Accounting principles

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis 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 financial statements of the company for the period ending 31 December 2020.

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 2020, there have been no significant changes to the accounting policies adopted for financial year 2020 compared to those followed in the financial statements for 2019.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the company. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the financial statements for 2020.

Financial review

Total revenues was USD 28.8 (15.7 in Q2 20) million, mainly related to sale of hydrocarbons from the Valhall and Hod fields. The increased revenue was impacted by higher commodity prices with an average realised oil price before hedging of USD 69.4 (USD 33.6 in Q2 2020) per bbl partly offset by lower volume sold (462 kboe in Q2 2021 compared to 593 in Q1 2021) due to lower production.

EBITDAX amounted to USD 21.1 million (3.8 in Q2 2020) with the increase compared to Q2 2020 mainly driven by higher commodity prices and lower operating expenses. Profit from operating activities was USD 13.5 million (-5.7 in Q2 2020). In addition to the increased EBITDAX the increased profit is driven by lower exploration expenses. The reduction in exploration expenses from the comparative period related mainly to less new venture activities (licencing rounds, farm-in activities and digitalisation).

The operating expenses amounted to USD 7.7 (11.9 in Q2 2020) million. The reduction from the comparative period is mainly attributable to reduced volume sold.

Investments in fixed assets during Q2 amounted to USD 21.6 million driven by investments in the Valhall & Hod fields, mainly Hod Development project and drilling of additional infill wells on Flank North.

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 172.3 million at the end of the second quarter, down from USD 174.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021. The decrease is related to payback on the Reserve Based Lending Facility (RBL).

Pandion Energy has a robust and diversified capital structure made up of committed equity and a debt financing pack. USD 190 million has been committed from Kerogen, of which USD109 million has been injected as of 30 June 2021 in addition to injected capital from the Pandion Energy team. The debt financing package includes a Reserve Based Lending Facility of USD 150 million (the "RBL facility"), and a senior Unsecured Bond Loan of NOK 400 million (the "Unsecured Bond). The current borrowing base in the RBL facility is USD 150 million. The company has also extended the Exploration Finance facility ("EFF") of NOK 400 million by one year. The EFF can be drawn until 31.12.2021 with repayment in Q4 2022.

Financial review

The arrangement with negative tax instalment means that the refund of the tax value of losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 will be refunded in advance of the tax assessment on a running basis through the instalment tax regime, and provide the company with a significant liquidity boost and unique investment conditions. During the second quarter of 2021 Pandion Energy received tax refunds of USD 20.0 million.

Hedging

In order to reduce the risk related to oil price fluctuations, the company has established an oil price hedging programme. At the end of June 2021, Pandion Energy had put in place a hedging programme until end of third quarter 2022. The hedging program is based on a combination of put options and collar structures.

At the end of June, 48% of after tax (14% of pre tax) crude oil production volumes has been hedged up to third quarter 2022 at an average floor price of 44.3 USD/bbl (USD 41.5/bbl net of costs). Additional positions may be added to the program going forward, however, the structure, amount and levels of any further hedging will depend on how the market for commodity derivatives develops.

Current hedging positions is sufficient to cover the current hedging requirements in the RBL agreement.

The company has recognised a realised loss from hedging in Q2 2021 presented as other income, the loss amounted to USD 0.2 million.

Operational review

Valhall and Hod fields

Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 5.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during second quarter, down 14 percent from the previous quarter, mainly driven by a planned shutdown to perform safety-critical maintenance an to test the emergency shut down system. The scope was delivered according to plan.

The Maersk Invincible drilling rig finalised the campaign to plug and abandon depleted wells at the old drilling platform (DP) in the quarter. The rig then moved to Flank North for drilling of three infill wells, of which two were finalised during the quarter. After finishing the third infill well at Flank North, the rig will move to Hod for drilling of the six wells for the Hod field development.

The Hod field development is progressing as planned with construction of a wellhead platform at the Aker Solutions yard in Verdal. The jacket was safely installed at the field in early July and is ready to receive the topside module later in the third quarter. The offshore work related to tie-in to existing facilities at Valhall and subsea installation campaigns has also been initiated.

The Maersk Reacher rig will arrive Valhall during the third quarter. This will contribute to accelerating the stimulation and intervention activity and bring more wells up to their full production potential.

In the second quarter, the Original Valhall Decommissioning Project (OVD) reached a new milestone when the old Quarters Platform Jacket (QP) was removed. The topside was removed in 2019.

Planning of the Valhall NCP (New Central Platform) project continued in the second quarter. The project will add new slots for further development of the Valhall Area. A concept select decision is planned in the third quarter.

Operational review

Exploration

The drilling of appraisal wells on the Iving oil and gas discovery (PL 820S) has been concluded. Before appraisal wells 25/8-21 S and 25/8-22 S were drilled, the operators`s resource estimate for the discovery was between 2 and 11 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalent in the Skagerrak formation. The results show that the appraisal wells will lead to a downward adjustment of the resource estimate in the Skagerrak Formation in 25/8-19 S (Iving), but it is still too early to give an updated estimate for the discovery.

The licensees will assess the results in the Skagerrak Formation in combination with other petroleum-bearing levels and discoveries in the area for further follow-up.

Operational review

Covid-19 measures and consequences

Pandion Energy is a non-operator and not directly involved in the execution of offshore operations on a day-to day basis. However, as partner in the Valhall & Hod fields the company is actively in dialogue with the operator to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect offshore personnel against the pandemic and ensuring the virus has minimal impact on the operations. To date no virus-related disruptions to the Valhall & Hod production have been reported, and while certain project activities have been affected, the disruptions have been successfully managed to avoid any negative impact on the progress. The operator has established a normalisation plan with three steps towards a state where extraordinary measures are no longer required.

Except for the operations at Valhall & Hod fields, the company was during second quarter involved in other offshore activities by the drilling of appraisal wells in PL 820S. No virus-related disruptions to the appraisal drilling were reported.

Other activities

Pandion Energy will continue to be an active and responsible partner in driving value in high quality assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. As part of this, the company actively searches for and evaluates opportunities to make value-accretive investments (e.g. through acquisitions, farm-ins, licencing rounds, swaps or other) and to divest assets to realise value created in its existing portfolio (e.g. through sale, farm-downs, swaps or other).

The amount of Goodwill entirely relates to the acquisition of interest in the Valhall and Hod oil fields.

Expensed exploration expenditures in 2021 is related to drilling of Eidsvoll exploration well, reported dry in January 2021.

Note 3 Impairments

The remaining goodwill as at 30 June 2021 amounted to USD 63.1 million and consists of technical goodwill related to the requirement to recognise deferred tax for the difference between the assigned fair values and the related tax base by purchase of Valhall & Hod fields. Prior period impairment of goodwill is not subject to reversal.

Technical goodwill is tested for impairment separately for Valhall & Hod fields which gave rise to the technical goodwill. The carrying value of Valhall & Hod fields consists of the carrying values of the oil field assets plus associated technical goodwill. When deferred tax liabilities from the acquisitions decreases as a result of depreciation, more technical goodwill as a result is exposed for impairment.

Impairment tests of individual cash-generating units are performed when impairment triggers are identified and for goodwill impairment is tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Following the increased oil price environment during 2021 no impairment indicators have been identified at the end of second quarter 2021 and the company has not recognised any impairment in Q2 2021.

Note 9 Leasing and commitments

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 contains a renewal option for another three years. In June 2020 Pandion Energy entered into an additional agreement for extra storage space running for five years. The lease does not contain any restriction on the company's dividend policy or financing.

The company applies exemption for short term leases (12 months or less) and low value leases. 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. Right-of-use assets are depreciated linearly over the lifetime of the lease contract.

Note 9 Leasing and commitments cont.

Pandion Energy is a non-operator and recognises its proportionate share of a lease when Pandion Energy is considered to share the primary responsibility for a licence committed liability. This includes contracts where Pandion has co-signed a lease contract, or contracts for which the operator has been given a legally binding mandate to sign the external lease on behalf of the licence partners. Pandion Energy has assessed the lease contracts in its licences and based on Pandion Energy's judgement no leases have been recognized in the balance sheet as of 31 March 2021.

The company has commitments pertaining to its ownership in partner operated oil and gas fields where the operator has entered into lease agreements for rigs in the licence. For Valhall, the operator has entered into a lease agreement for Maersk Invincible, delivered in May 2017. The contract period is five years, with an additional two years option period.

On PL 820S, the Iving discovery, a lease agreement for a rig has been entered into by the operator on behalf of partners to be used for the appraisal program in 2021. This lease commitment is not included in the below overview.

Note 10 Tax

Certain temporary changes in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax Law were enacted on 19 June 2020. These changes included a temporary ruling for depreciation and uplift, whereas all investments incurred for income years 2020 and 2021 including 24 per cent uplift can be deducted from the basis for special tax in the year of investment. These changes also apply for all investments according to Plans for Development and Operation delivered within 31 December 2022 and approved within 31 December 2023. In addition, the tax value of any losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 will be refunded from the state. The tax effect of the temporary changes is included as of 30.06.2021 and contributes to increase in deferred tax liabilities and increase in tax receivable – short term.
