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 31.3 (22.2 in Q1 20) million, 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 61.3 (USD 45.2 in Q1 2020) per bbl together with higher sold volume (562 kboe in Q1 2021 compared to 400 in Q1 2020) due to higher production.

EBITDAX amounted to USD 21.0 million (58.0 in Q1 2020) with the decrease compared to Q1 2020 mainly driven by a USD 35.9 million after tax accounting gain of the sale of 10% share in the Duva field during the comparative period. Profit from operating activities was USD 5.0 million (18.2 in Q1 2020). In addition to the reduced EBITDAX the reduced profit is mainly driven by a USD 6.7 million expense related to Eidsvoll exploration well reported dry in January 2021 together with a loss from hedging positions of USD -0.6 million compared with gains from hedging positions of 7.4 million during the comparative period.

The operating expenses amounted to USD 9.7 (7.6 in Q1 2020) million.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 9.9 million driven by investments in the Valhall & Hod fields, mainly Hod Development project and preparation for additional infill wells on Flank North.

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 174.6 million at the end of the first quarter up from USD 157.6 million at the end of fourth quarter 2020. The increase is related to further drawdown of the exploration finance facility.

Pandion Energy has a robust and diversified capital structure made up of committed equity of USD 193 million (of which 112 million injected to date), 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.

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 first quarter of 2021 Pandion Energy received tax refunds of USD 9.8 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 March 2021, Pandion Energy had put in place a hedging programme until end of second quarter 2022. The hedging program is based on a combination of put options and collar structures.

At the end of March, 49% of after tax (14% of pre tax) crude oil production volumes has been hedged up to second quarter 2022 at an average floor price of 41.2 USD/bbl (USD 38.2/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 hedging requirements in the RBL agreement up to the September redetermination of the borrowing base.

The company has recognised a realised loss from hedging in Q1 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 5.9 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during first quarter, marginally lower than previous quarter. Production efficiency improved slightly to 91 percent.

The partnership has contracted the rig Maersk Reacher to accelerate stimulation and intervention to bring the wells up to full production potential. The rig is expected to arrive during the third quarter.

The Maersk Invincible drilling rig remained at the field centre throughout the quarter to plug and abandon (P&A) the remaining wells at the old Drilling Platform (DP) which is scheduled for removal. The P&A operations were finalized early April. Following the P&A campaign the rig will drill two additional wells on Flank North, and one additional well target is being matured for a final investment decision in the second quarter.

The Hod field development is progressing as planned with construction of a wellhead platform at Kværner Verdal. The project has faced some challenges related to available manning under the prevailing COVID-19 restrictions but mitigating actions have been taken to protect the schedule. The offshore work related to tie-in to existing facilities at Valhall has also been initiated.

Operational Review

Exploration

The transaction with Wintershall DEA Norge AS to acquire a 2.5% interest in PL 820S – Iving Discovery and a 15% interest in PL 617 was approved in January 2021 by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Effective date for the transaction is 1 January 2021. Early 2021, the partnership in PL 617 drilled an exploration well on the Eidsvoll prospect. The well was reported dry.

In January 2021, Pandion Energy AS was awarded five licences under the 2020 APA (Award in Pre-defined Areas) licence round on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. That includes two new licences and three additional acreages in the licences already existing in the portfolio. In addition to expanding the exploration portfolio with two new licenses Pandion has, with the awards of additional acreages, secured strategically important acreage surrounding discoveries Pandion has taken part in during 2020 and strengthened the position in areas where the Company see additional upside potential.

Operational Review

Covid-19 measures and consequences

Pandion Energy continue to closely monitor the Covid-19 situation with the objective of making sure necessary measures are taken to protect staff and operations.

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. Extensive measures have been implemented by the operator at Valhall area to ensure safe and reliable operations. To date no virus-related disruption to the Valhall & Hod operations have been reported.

Except for the operations at Valhall & Hod fields, the company was during first quarter involved in other offshore activities by the drilling of an exploration well Eidsvoll in PL 617. No virus-related disruption to the Eidsvoll drilling was reported.

Other activities

Pandion is monitoring the pricing of its senior unsecured bond loan and considers, subject to market conditions, to take advantage of opportunities to repurchase bonds at value-accretive prices. Potential investments in the company's own bond debt have been permitted by the lenders under the RBL facility.

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).

In January 2021 Pandion launched its Strategy to Net Zero Carbon Emissions.

The company`s carbon intensity per produced barrel is one of the lowest in the global E&P industry – ranging from 1.2-3.4 CO2e/boe for its net production, and the commitment to carbon neutrality has been achieved initially by offsetting CO2 emissions through programmes that are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The company`s future approach to maintain its low carbon impact is set out in its Strategy to Net Zero Carbon document and includes:

  • Pursuing exploration and appraisal opportunities only in areas with existing or plausible future access to renewable energy sources
  • Incorporating the GHG emissions and the potential for future carbon reduction as a new investment criterion for Development and Production assets
  • Incorporating the cost of carbon in evaluating new investments.

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

Expensed exploration expenditures in Q1 2021 is related to drilling of Eidsvoll exploration well, reported dry in January 2021.

Note 3 Impairments

The remaining goodwill as at 31 March 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.

In Q1 2021, two categories of impairment tests have been performed:

  • Impairment test of oil and gas assets and related intangible assets
  • Impairment test of technical goodwill

In the assessment of whether an impairment is required at 31 March 2021, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve from the beginning of 2021 to the end of 2022, a mean of market participant view from 2023 to 2026 and a 2% inflation of the 2026 market participant view from 2027 and onwards, a future cost inflation rate of 2% per annum and a discount rate of 8% to calculate the future post tax cash flows.

Following the increases oil price environment during 2021 the company has not recognised any further impairment in Q1 2021.

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.
