Executive summary

  • Achieved strong operational and financial performance in H1 2025, with 12% higher gross average production at 44,100 bopd, supported by robust local demand and reservoir performance.

  • Production ramped back to full capacity in August after a temporary shutdown in July due to regional security incidents and drone attacks.

  • Declared and paid $50 million in dividends year-to-date, including a $25 million interim dividend.

  • Sanctioned installation of water handling facilities at PF-2, expected to add 4,000–8,000 bopd incremental production from 2027 and reduce reservoir risk.

  • Focused on unlocking export restart and maximizing shareholder value, with increased engagement with government stakeholders.

Financial highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA rose 13% year-over-year to $41.1 million, driven by higher production and realized prices.

  • Revenue increased 17% to $83.1 million in H1 2025, with average realized price at $27.8/bbl.

  • Free cash flow was $24.6 million, down from $27 million a year ago, due to higher capex and working capital outflows.

  • Cash balance stood at $99 million at end of June, improving to $106 million by late August.

  • Reported a net loss after tax of $7.2 million, mainly due to an $8.9 million expected credit loss provision on overdue export receivables.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
