9M 2023 Highlights:
Financial
- Revenue of US$88.8m (9M 2022: US$155.6m), a 43% decrease reflecting
production decline in line with management expectations and relatively lower
average product prices (average Brent oil price of US$81.9/bbl for 9M 2023
vs US$102.5/bbl for 9M 2022).
- EBITDA1 of US$33.0m (9M 2022: US$94.9m) and an EBITDA margin of
37.1% (9M 2022: 61.0%), both decreasing as a result of lower revenues and
a largely fixed operating cost base.
- The Group's unrestricted cash balance as at 30 September 2023 was
US$171.7m (30 June 2023: US$192.0m), the quarterly reduction due
primarily to the US$19.3m acquisition payment for the Company's 80%
interest in Positive Invest LLP. The Group's restricted cash balance as at 30
September 2023 was US$24.6m (30 June 2023: US$16.3m).
- While the Group is focused on future growth opportunities to fill the spare
capacity of its gas processing infrastructure, the management also continues
to focus on cost optimisation to help maintain its liquidity and cash
reserves.
