Results for Half Year Ended 30 June 2021

London, 2 September 2021 - Energean plc (LSE: ENOG TASE: אנאג) is pleased to announce its half-year results for the six months ended 30 June 2021 ("1H 2021").

Mathios Rigas, Chief Executive of Energean, commented:

"During 1H 2021, Energean delivered excellent operational and financial progress, reflecting the transformational nature of the acquisition of Edison E&P. Production is outperforming guidance, translating into record financial performance and, through successful execution of our gas- and returns-focused strategy, we have achieved a significant milestone in our transformation into a 200 kboed, $2 billion annual revenue generating, sustainable dividend yielding, energy company. In addition, we further strengthened and de-risked our balance sheet by raising the largest ever EMEA energy international high yield bond and remain fully-funded for all projects across our nine countries of operation.

"Despite continued COVID-19 related challenges, we have delivered solid progress on our flagship Karish gas development project, which remains firmly on track to deliver first gas in mid-2022. There are a number of potential acceleration measures under active consideration and, at 31 August 2021, the workforce on the Karish project was in excess of 1,700, an approximate 70% month-on-month increase. Further growth in Israel will be delivered through our (up to) five-well offshore growth programme, with the Stena IceMax drilling rig commencing operations in 1Q-2022. The programme targets an additional 1 billion boe, which has the potential to double our reserve base with high quality resource volumes that can be quickly, economically, and safely monetised. Globally, gas prices are strong and we are assessing several commercial opportunities to access international markets, as well as the growing Israeli domestic market, if (and when) additional gas resources become available to us.

"In the second half of the year, we look forward to continuing to deliver our key gas development projects in Egypt and Italy, which alongside commencement of the revised Epsilon project in Greece, will provide further, substantial near-term growth and value realisation in the Mediterranean region.

"The recently published Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change[1] report on the impacts of global warming made for stark reading and emphasized the need for immediate action. As a business, we have taken full responsibility for our own emissions profile, showcased by publication of our first Climate Change Policy, which outlines the short, medium, and long-term actions we will take as part of our commitment to become a net zero emitter by 2050. In the first half of 2021, we reduced the carbon intensity of our operations by more than 19% versus 2020 levels[2]; representing a 73% reduction versus our base year of 2019. This is a trajectory we are committed to continuing, and we are investigating all options to accelerate our net zero commitment ahead of 2050, in recognition of the need for urgent and immediate action."

Energean Operational Review

Production

1H 2021 average working interest production was 44.0 kboed (72% gas), ahead of full year guidance, which is maintained at 38 - 42 kboed. This represents a substantial year-on-year increase, reflecting the transformational nature of the acquisition of Edison E&P and the successful, quick integration of the Edison E&P portfolio into Energean despite the operational challenges posed by COVID-19.

Karish Project

Energean remains firmly on track to deliver first gas from the Karish gas development project in mid-2022. At 31 July 2021, the project was approximately 91.5% complete[10].  

The next tangible milestone on the development remains sailaway of the FPSO from Singapore to Israel, currently expected in 1Q 2022. The journey from Singapore to Israel is expected to take approximately 35 days, with hook-up and pre-first gas commissioning then expected to take approximately three months.

Energean is actively working with its contractors to identify and implement potential acceleration measures for the FPSO delivery schedule, which are not reflected in the current timetable. Following agreement of an incentivisation payment of $12 million by Energean to Sembcorp in August 2021, workforce numbers on the Energean Power FPSO have increased by approximately 70%, to more than 1,700 at 31 August 2021.

Energean will update the market on whether it expects any acceleration of the delivery timetable as and when it is appropriate to do so.

Energean has signed 18 gas sales agreements ("Agreements") for the supply of 7.2 Bcm/yr of gas on plateau, representing almost 100% of total gas reserves volumes over the life of those Agreements. All Agreements include provisions for floor pricing and take-or-pay and / or exclusivity, providing a high level of certainty over revenues from the Karish, Karish North and Tanin projects over the next 16 years.

For one Agreement representing 0.2 Bcm/yr and commencing 2024, the buyer has been unable to meet its conditions subsequent under the Agreement and the parties have mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement. This termination is not related to the project schedule. Energean has identified a potential replacement buyer for these volumes and expects to reach an Agreement shortly; Energean's main current restriction to signing further Agreements is that it has sold substantially all of its independently audited gas reserves.

One Agreement, representing 0.8 Bcm/yr of gas supply, is at potential risk of termination; however, if it is terminated, Energean has identified multiple alternative routes to monetise those gas volumes, including both domestic and international markets, and is confident of profitably selling them. Other than that one Agreement, Energean believes that all of its Agreements are robust under the current first gas delivery timetable, notwithstanding the delays experienced due to COVID-19-related circumstances.

 

Growth Projects

In May 2021, Energean took FID on two high-return growth projects, offshore Israel:

·      $70 million second oil train that will enable increased production of approximately 5 million barrels of hydrocarbon liquids per year at minimal incremental operating costs; and

·      $40 million second gas sales riser, which will enable gas production at the full 8 Bcm/yr capacity of the FPSO

 Both projects are progressing on schedule and are expected onstream in summer 2023.

In June 2021, Energean signed a rig contract with Stena for the drilling of up to five wells that will target derisking of unrisked prospective resources of over 1 Bnboe[12]. The contract consists of three firm wells plus two optional wells, with the first well expected to spud in 1Q 2022. The firm wells are all expected to be drilled during 2022 and consist of:

·      The Athena exploration well, located on Block 12, is situated directly between the Karish and Tanin leases and is expected to be the first well in the programme;

Two factors support commercialisation of a Block 12 discovery. Firstly, Block 12 was a new licence award to EISL in 2018; produced volumes will therefore generate no royalty payments in respect of EISL's original acquisition of the block. Secondly, the more proximate location of the potential development to the expected position of the FPSO will reduce like-for-like development costs when compared with Tanin

·      The Karish North development well, a key part of the Karish North development; and

·      The Karish Main-04 appraisal well, which is expected to target further prospective volumes within the Karish Main Block, including the potential oil rim that was identified as part of the Karish Main-03 development well drilling.

 

Energean is in the process of identifying and working up commercialisation options in the event of discoveries being made as part of the 2022-23 growth drilling programme and monetisation options include both domestic and international markets.

 

Egypt

Working interest production from the Abu Qir area averaged 31.4 kboed (87% gas) during 1H 2021 with full year production guidance maintained at between 27 - 30 kboed.

The shallow-water NEA/NI satellite tie-back project is progressing in line with expectations, with first gas from one well anticipated in 2H 2022 and from the remaining three wells in 1Q 2023. The project was sanctioned in January 2021 and an EPCI contract for the four subsea wells and the associated tie-back to the Abu Qir platform and associated infrastructure was awarded to TechnipFMC in 1Q 2021.

Around the Abu Qir and NEA/NI assets, Energean is maturing several near-field and infrastructure-led opportunities, including the discovered NI-B field, as potential future drilling candidates. In addition, prospect maturation continues across the wider portfolio to unlock value from the substantial prospective resource volumes identified, including in deeper liquids-rich horizons.

At 30 June 2021, net receivables (after provision for bad and doubtful debts) in Egypt were $158.7 million (31 December 2020: $148.8 million), of which $94.0 million (31 December 2020: $78.7 million) was classified as overdue. Cash collection from EGPC during the period was $74.9 million.

Italy

Working interest production from Italy averaged 10.2 kboed (41% gas) during 1H 2021 with full year production expected to be between 9 - 10 kboed.

Production continues to outperform expectations following robust operational performance across the operated oil portfolio, including the Vega and Rospo Mare fields, in which Energean increased its working interest to 100% in January 2021 following the nil-cost acquisition from ENI.

The Cassiopea (Energean 40%) gas development project was approximately 23% complete at 31 July 2021, with works to date focused on permitting, contracting and procurement, alongside a cost optimisation programme. First gas from the project is expected in 1H 2024. Development of Cassiopea will commercialise 31 MMboe of 2P reserves (100% gas) and achieve peak production of approximately 10 kboed.

 

Greece

Working interest production from the Prinos field averaged 1.6 kboed (0% gas) during 1H 2021 with full year production expected to be 1.5 kboed.

Prinos Area Development and Funding

In March 2021, the European Commission approved Greek state support for a EUR100 million funding package for the Prinos area, with Greek parliamentary ratification in May 2021. The full funding package is expected to be in place in 3Q 2021 with commencement of investment in the Epsilon project expected shortly thereafter.

In parallel, Energean has been evaluating a project to reinject produced carbon dioxide from Prinos back into the reservoir to reduce Scope 1 emissions from the field. The project has been approved for financial support from the European Commission's European Structural and Investment Funds ("ESIF").

"Green Prinos"

Extending the life of the Prinos production area through the Epsilon development is key to Energean's longer-term ambition of leveraging its subsurface knowledge and expertise in developing CCS and eco-hydrogen projects, which are expected to be key contributors to Energean's net zero strategy.

The Prinos CCS project proposal is to provide long-term storage for carbon dioxide emissions captured from both local and more remote emitters.

In 1H 2021, Energean submitted its CCS proposal to the Greek government, with a view to inclusion within its recovery and resilience plan, projects within which will qualify to receive funding from the Recovery and Resilience fund over the period 2021-26. In June 2021, the European Commission granted approval for the inclusion of the Greek CCS project within the fund.

A pre-FEED study for the CCS project is expected to commence in 2H 2021.

 

Rest of Portfolio

United Kingdom

1H 2021 production in the UK North Sea was 0.6 kboed (8% gas), ahead of full year guidance of 0.5 kboed.

Drilling operations at the Glengorm South appraisal well were safely completed in April 2021. The well contained no commercial hydrocarbons and the well has been plugged and abandoned. The existing Glengorm North discovery and the Glengorm Central appraisal well are considered to be independent of the Glengorm South appraisal well; the Glengorm Central appraisal well spudded in May 2021.

Energean has received interest from third parties with respect to the potential sale of its UK assets portfolio and is considering its options.

Croatia

During 1H 2021, working interest production from the Izabela field averaged 0.2 kboed (100% gas).

Evaluation of the results from the Irena appraisal well are ongoing.

 

Energean Corporate Review

ESG

 

Net Zero

In 1H 2021, Energean published its first Climate Change Policy, which defines the Group's actions to deliver upon its commitment to become a net-zero emitter by 2050.

Energean also took further steps towards this commitment, and is investigating an acceleration of its 2050 net-zero target, reflecting both its commitment and the importance of the global achievement of the goal. Energean's Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions intensity in 1H 2021 was estimated to be approximately 18 kg/boe, a 19% reduction versus 2020 emissions levels[13]; a 73% reduction versus the 2019 base measurement year; and approximately 15% below full-year 2021 guidance of approximately 21 kg/boe.

Actions taken to date in 2021 include:

·      Agreements put in place for the purchase of electricity from renewable sources at all operated sites in Italy. Energean sites in Italy, Israel, Greece and Croatia now operate under this policy, which has substantially reduced Energean's scope 2 emissions

·      Zero-routine flaring policy now fully effective across all operated sites

·    Significant progress on the "Green Prinos" suite of initiatives, as described in the Operating Review, above. Energean is assessing the potential to replicate these initiatives across its portfolio

ESG Reporting and Ratings

Energean's 2020 Annual Report and Accounts, published in April 2021, marked Energean's first period of reporting in accordance with the requirements of the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure ("TCFD").

In June 2021, MSCI updated its rating for energean to AA, up from A in the previous year.

In July 2021, Energean was rated at gold level by Israel's Maala Index for the second year running. The Maala Index is an ESG rating system and stock market index that rates the largest companies in Israel on an annual basis.

 

Financing

 

In 1H 2021, Energean issued $2.5 billion of senior secured notes, maturing in four tranches (2024, 2026, 2028 and 2031) and with an average coupon rate of 5.2% and increasing the average life of debt across Energean plc's portfolio to more than six years.

 

The funds raised were used to both ensure that Energean's projects in Israel are fully funded and also to refinance the Group's outstanding project finance facility and term loan; drawn amounts under these loans upon refinancing were $1,270 million and $175 million, respectively. The refinancings removed a perceived key risk on the Karish project consequent to the upcoming maturities of those facilities. $266 million of proceeds have been used to pre-fund certain reserve accounts, classified as restricted cash within this report, with remaining proceeds earmarked for capital expenditure on the Karish and Karish North projects, the 2022/2023 Israel exploration programme, to fund bond transaction costs, outstanding amounts due to Kerogen relating to the acquisition of the minority interest in EISL, and for general corporate purposes.

Revenue, production and commodity prices

Group working interest production averaged 44.0 kboed, an increase of 1,990% for the period (1H 2020: 2.1 kboed), with the Abu Qir field, offshore Egypt, accounting for approximately 70% of total output. 1H 2021 revenue was $205.5 million, a 9,827% increase for the period (1H 2020: $2.1 million), primarily due to the transformational nature of the acquisition of Edison E&P, which closed on 17 December 2020.

The increase in revenue for the period primarily reflects the increased production levels of the Group following the acquisition of Edison E&P, which closed on 17 December 2020. Revenues also benefitted from a higher commodity price environment:

·      During 1H 2021, the average Brent oil price was $65.2/bbl versus $42.2/bbl in 1H 2020, the average PSV price was EUR21.2/MWH (1H 2020: EUR9.3/MWH) and the average NBP price was GBp55.4/Therm (1H 2020: GBp19.0/Therm)

·    This strength across commodity prices resulted in a 1H 2021 average realised price of $47.3/boe (1H 2020: $9.1/boe)

Depreciation, impairments and write-offs

Depreciation charges on production and development assets before impairments increased by 184% to $36.3 million (1H 2020: $12.8 million) due to the higher production levels generated by the Group following the acquisition of Edison E&P, which closed on 17 December 2020.

On a per barrel of oil equivalent of production basis, this represented an 86% decrease to $4.6/boe (1H 2020: $33.7/boe).

During the period, no impairment charges were recognised (1H 2020: $63.0 million).

 

Other income and expenses

Other expenses of $3.1 million (1H 2020: $15.8 million) include $1.5 million of one-off transaction costs in relation to the Edison E&P acquisition (1H 2020: $8.4 million), and expected credit losses, as well as losses from disposal of property, plant and equipment of $0.3 million.

Other income of $3.6 million (1H 2020: $8.9 million) includes $3.5 million that relate to reversal of prior period provisions and $0.1 million of other income.

Other income in 1H 2020 included a $5.0 million termination fee that was payable by Neptune Energy in relation to the termination of its sale and purchase agreement to buy the UK North Sea and Norwegian subsidiaries, prior to Energean's acquisition of Edison E&P, and $3.9 million of other income related to waivers obtained for specific accounts payable balances in the Greek subsidiary.

Finance income / costs

Net finance costs in 1H 2021 were $42.2 million (1H 2020: net finance income of $0.8 million), composed of $17.0 million (1H 2020: $3.0 million) of interest on borrowings after capitalisation, $27.9 million (1H 2020: $0.5 million) of other debt arrangement fees and other finance costs and $2.7 million of finance income (1H 2020: $4.4 million). The increase in finance and other arrangement fees is due to arrangement fees for the $700 million term loan, which was fully repaid during the period. The increase in other finance costs is primarily due to unwinding costs on the decommissioning provision, which has increased following the acquisition of Edison E&P, combined with losses incurred on interest rate derivatives.

Crude oil hedging

Energean has no commodity price hedges outstanding as of 30 June 2021 (1H 2020: $nil).

Taxation

Energean recorded tax expenses of $15.2 million in 1H 2021 (1H 2020 $21.8 million tax income), composed of corporation tax charges amount $22.1 million and deferred tax income of $5.9 million. Taxation expenses in the period ended 30 June 2021 include $21.5 million relating to taxes (non-cash in nature) being deducted at source in Egypt plus deferred amounts of $5.9 million.

Operating cash flow

In 1H 20201, Energean recorded a cash inflow from operations before changes in working capital of $48.6 million, versus a cash outflow of $15.2 million in 1H 2020. After working capital movements, the cash inflow in 1H 2021 was $53.1 million versus a cash outflow of $14.5 million in 1H 2020. The year-on-year increase in operating cash flow has been predominantly driven by the growth in revenues delivered between the two periods. As discussed above, the increase in revenues during the period is due to i) the increased production levels of the Group following the acquisition of Edison E&P; and ii) the higher commodity price environment.

Non-IFRS measures

The Group uses certain measures of performance that are not specifically defined under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles. These non-IFRS measures include adjusted EBITDAX, underlying cash cost of production and SG&A, capital expenditure, net debt and gearing.

 

Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-IFRS measure used by the Group to measure business performance. It is calculated as profit or loss for the period, adjusted for discontinued operations, taxation, depreciation and amortisation, share-based payment charge, impairment of property, plant and equipment, other income and expenses, net finance costs and exploration and evaluation expenses. The Group presents adjusted EBITDAX as it is used in assessing the Group's growth and operational efficiencies as it illustrates the underlying performance of the Group's business by excluding items not considered by management to reflect the underlying operations of the Group.

Cash Cost of production

Cash Cost of production is a non-IFRS measure that is used by the Group as a useful indicator of the Group's underlying cash costs to produce hydrocarbons. The Group uses the measure to compare operational performance period-to-period, to monitor cost and assess operational efficiency. Cash cost of production is calculated as cost of sales, adjusted for depreciation and hydrocarbon inventory movements.

Cash Selling, General & Administrative Expense (SG&A)

Cash SG&A eliminates certain non-cash accounting adjustments to the Group's SG&A. Underlying cash SG&A is defined as Administrative and Selling and distribution expenses, excluding depletion and amortisation of assets and share-based payment charge that are included in SG&A.

Energean incurred Cash S,G&A costs of $17.0 million in 1H 2021. This represents a 216% increase versus the comparable period last year (1H 2020: $5.4 million) and is due to increased staffing and administrative costs following the acquisition of Edison E&P and efforts associated with developing the Group's portfolio of projects.

Capital expenditure

Capital Expenditure is defined as additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible exploration and evaluation assets, cash lease payments made in the period, less lease asset additions, asset additions due to decommissioning provisions, capitalised share-based payment charge, capitalised borrowing costs and certain other non-cash adjustments. The Directors believe that capital expenditure is a useful indicator of the Group's organic expenditure on oil and gas development assets, exploration and evaluation assets incurred during a period because it eliminates certain accounting adjustments such as capitalised borrowing costs and decommissioning asset additions.

Net cash / debt and gearing ratio

Net debt is defined as the Group's total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash held for loan repayments. Management believes that net debt is a useful indicator of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital structure because it indicates the level of borrowings after taking account of any cash and cash equivalents that could be used to reduce borrowings. The Group defines capital as total equity and calculates the gearing ratio as net debt divided by capital.

Term Loan

On 13 January 2021, Energean signed an 18-month, $700 million term loan facility agreement with J.P. Morgan AG and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc, the primary uses of which were to accelerate the Karish North development and to fund the up-front consideration for the acquisition of the minority interest in Energean Israel. At the same time, Energean also agreed with the existing lenders of its $1.45 billion project finance facility to extend its maturity by nine months, from December 2021 to September 2022. This term loan was refinanced using proceeds from the bond issuance discussed below.

Refinancing

On 24 March 2021, Energean Israel Finance Limited issued a $2.5 billion bond, split into four equal tranches with maturities in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2031.

On 29 April 2021, the gross proceeds were released from a segregated escrow account following the satisfaction of release conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and the registration of certain pledges. Part of the proceeds from the issuance were used to refinance the term loan (discussed above) and Energean Israel's $1.45 billion project finance facility. As at the date of refinancing, drawn amounts under the term loan and project finance facility were $175 million and $1,270 million, respectively.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Effective risk management is fundamental to achieving Energean's strategic objectives and protecting its personnel, assets, shareholder value and reputation. The Board has overall responsibility for determining the nature and extent of the risks it is willing to take in achieving the strategic objectives of the Group and ensuring that such risks are managed effectively. A key aspect of this is ensuring the maintenance of a sound system of internal control and risk management. For all the known risks facing the business, Energean attempts to minimise the likelihood and mitigate the impact. Energean has a zero-tolerance approach to financial fraud or ethics non-compliance and ensures that HSE risks are managed to levels that are as low as reasonably practicable.

Overview of key risks and key changes since 31 December 2020

The Group's principal risks for the remaining 6 months of the year and key changes since 31 December 2020 are set out below. For further information on key risks, please refer to Energean's 2020 Annual Report and Accounts:

 

Strategic risks

#1 Progress key development projects in Israel

Principal risk: Delay to first gas at Karish.

1H 2021 movement: This risk increased in 1H 2021. Following the re-introduction of enhanced COVID-19 related restrictions in Singapore for part of 1H 2021, the Energean Power FPSO is now expected to sailaway from Singapore to Israel in 1Q 2022 with first gas in mid-2022.

Energean is working on a number of contingency measures in the event that there are further outbreaks and variants of COVID-19 in Singapore that lead to the reintroduction of measures that could impact upon the first gas timetable.

Project completion has now reached 91.5% as of 31 July 2021; the closer to completion the project gets, the lower the risk of material delays. Energean is working with its contractors to ensure completion of the project as soon as is possible.

#2 Market risk in Israel

Principal risk: The potential for Israeli gas market oversupply may result in offtake being at the take-or-pay level of existing gas sales and purchase agreements and could result in the failure to secure new GSPAs.

1H 2021 movement: This risk increased in 1H 2021. The market environment is competitive, and the Leviathan field continues to increase its supply of gas, alongside production from Tamar, contributing to market oversupply and a decline in Israeli domestic gas prices towards the price floor set by Energean. Nevertheless, Energean's gas sales and purchase agreements continue to remain the most commercially attractive supply option to domestic gas buyers in Israel, with a weighted average gas price of approximately $4.0/MMbtu.

#3 Progress key development projects

Principal risk: Delayed delivery of future development projects (including NEA / NI in Egypt, Cassiopea in Italy and Karish North in Israel).

1H 2021 movement: This risk decreased in 1H 2021. Energean has made good progress on its Karish North (Israel) and NEA/NI (Egypt) gas developments since taking FID in January 2021, with both projects on schedule and on budget and with no delays envisaged. The Cassiopea project was approximately 23% complete at 31 July 2021 and first gas continues to be expected in 1H 2024. The passage of time and delivery of projects in line with expectations is the key driver of the reduction in this risk.

#4 Deliver exploration success and reserve addition

Principal risk: Lack of new commercial discoveries and reserves replacement.

1H 2021 movement: This risk remained static in 1H 2021. Energean has developed a well-defined exploration plan for its 2022-23 drilling programme, offshore Israel, which will target the derisking of unrisked prospective recoverable resources of over 1 Bnboe. In May 2021, the Company signed a contract with Stena at an attractive day rate for the drilling of three firm wells and two optional wells, with the first well expected to spud in 1Q 2022.

#5 Portfolio integration

Principal risk: Failure to successfully integrate Edison E&P into Energean's day-to-day business activities resulting in limited financial, social and environmental benefits.

1H 2021 movement: This risk decreased in 1H 2021. Energean continues to successfully implement its integration roadmap and has identified areas of synergy across the combined business. Implementation of the end-state operating model remains on target for year-end 2021.

Operational risks

#1 Production performance

Principal risk: Underperformance at core producing assets in Egypt and Italy.

1H 2021 movement: This risk decreased in 1H 2021. Production continues to outperform following robust operational performance across Energean's combined portfolio. Working interest production averaged 44.0 kboed in 1H 2021, around 10% above the mid-point of guidance of 38 - 42 kboed.

#2 JV misalignment

Principal risk: Misalignment with JV operators.

1H 2021 movement: This risk decreased in 1H 2021, due to Energean's increased working interest position in the Vega and Rospo Mare fields, offshore Italy, following the acquisition from ENI, plus good progress having been made on the Cassiopea project, offshore Italy.

Financial risks

#1 Maintaining liquidity and solvency

Principal risk: Insufficient liquidity and funding capacity.

1H 2021 movement: This risk decreased in 1H 2021. In April 2021, the $1.45 billion project finance facility and $700 million term loan were refinanced following a $2.5 billion issuance of senior secured notes. The bond is split into four equal tranches with maturities in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2031. This optimised debt structure substantially extends the maturity profiles and provides additional near-term flexibility to the Group. Strengthening of commodity prices also helped to decrease this risk.

#2 Egypt receivables

Principal risk: Recoverability of revenues and receivables in Egypt.

1H 2021 movement: This risk remained static in 1H 2021. Cash collection from EGPC during the period was $74.9 million. This was approximately $10 million lower than expected cash collection, the difference being primarily due to timing of collection.

#3 Decommissioning liability

Principal risk: Higher than expected decommissioning costs and acceleration of abandonment schedules

1H 2021 movement: This risk remained static in 1H 2021. No additional decommissioning liabilities were incurred year-to-date and Energean is working on reducing decommissioning liabilities

Climate change risks

#1 Failure to manage the risk of climate change and to adapt to the energy transition

Principal risk: Climate change policy, technological development, changing consumer behaviour and reputational damage.

1H 2021 movement: This risk increased in 1H 2021. The climate change agenda is an ever-increasing area of focus globally and is of critical importance to Energean as it evolves the business and works towards achieving its 2050 net zero target with respect to Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Failure to progress this target could impact the commerciality of the portfolio, lead to loss of licence to operate and result in limited access to/increased cost of capital.

Energean mitigates this risk through ongoing monitoring of key performance indicators by Management. Progress demonstrated in 2021 includes:

·      ESG ratings maintained in the top quartile.

·      Awarded 'Gold' by Maala in July 2021 for a second consecutive year.

·      Three core initiatives being rolled out across all operated sites, including switching to purchasing of 'green' electricity, introduction of a zero-routine-faring policy and establishment of procedures to reduce methane emissions.

·      Technical feasibility studies are ongoing for carbon capture and storage, and eco-hydrogen projects in Prinos in Greece, in conjunction with evaluation of the wider portfolio for such projects.

#2 Physical risks related to climate change

Principal risk: Disruption to operations and/or development projects due to severe weather (both acute and chronic).

1H 2021 movement: This risk remained static in 1H 2021.

External risks

#1 Geopolitical events

Principal risk: Political and fiscal uncertainties in the Eastern Mediterranean.

1H 2021 movement: This risk remained static in 1H 2021.

#2 Global pandemic

Principal risk: Operational uncertainties and HSE incidents due to COVID-19 pandemic.

1H 2021 movement: This risk remained static in 1H 2021.

Emerging risks

Energean faces a number of uncertainties that have the potential to be material to its long-term strategy but cannot be fully defined as a specific risk at present, and therefore cannot be fully assessed or managed. These emerging risks typically have a long-time horizon, such as earlier and increased decommissioning liabilities in the UK and Italy, and elsewhere where the Company operates; increased calls for cash or letter of credit guarantees to be put in place; inadequate management of reserves and production risk resulting in poor returns and impairment.

In 1H 2021, the Group identified the increasing threat from misalignment of national and regional energy transition legislation and direct impacts from unanticipated business interruption, for example due to production downtime or one-off events, emerging risks that will be actively assessed and monitored.

 

Events since 30 June 2020

Compensation to gas buyers due to late supply:

During August 2021 and in accordance with the GSPAs signed with a group of gas buyers, the Group has agreed to pay compensation to these counterparties due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place beyond a certain date as defined in the GSPAs (being 30 June 2021). The compensation will be paid on a monthly basis starting on August 2021 and is estimated at approx. US$23 million. The compensation is accounted as variable purchase consideration under IFRS 15 hence recognised once production commences and gas is delivered to the offtakers

 

Gas buyer request for arbitration:

During August 2021 a gas buyer sent a request to the International Court of Arbitration ("ICC") asking for arbitration on its rights of termination due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place beyond a certain date which defined in the GSPA. If the agreement it is terminated, the Group has identified multiple alternative routes to monetise those gas volumes (being 0.8 Bcm/yr), including both domestic and international markets, and hence is confident of profitably selling them

 

Going Concern Statement

The Group carefully manages its risk to a shortage of funds by monitoring its funding position and its liquidity risk. The going concern assessment covers for the period to 30 September 2022 'the Forecast Period'.

Cash forecasts are regularly produced based on, inter alia, the Group's latest life of field production and budgeted expenditure forecasts, management's best estimate of future commodity prices (based on recent published forward curves) and the Group's borrowing facilities.  The Base Case conservatively assumes first gas from Karish in July 2022, Brent at $70/bbl for the period 1 September to 31 December 2021 and $65/bbl for the period 1 January to 30 September 2022, PSV (Italian gas price) at an average of EUR25/MWH for the period 1 September 2021 to 31 December 2021 and EUR20/MWH for the period January 2022 to 30 September 2022.

In addition, on a regular basis, the Group performs sensitivity tests of its liquidity position for negative impacts that may result from changes to the macro-economic environment such as a fall in commodity price or increase in interest rate. The Group also looks at the impact of changes or deferral of key projects and/or portfolio rationalisation. This is done to identify risks to liquidity and covenant compliance and enable management to formulate appropriate and timely mitigation strategies in order to manage the risk of funding shortfalls or covenant breaches and to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Specifically, the Group tested the following sensitivities:

·      Reduction in Commodity Prices over the Forecast Period (10% applied to PSV prices and 7.5% to Brent prices)

·      decrease in projected collection of EGPC receivables over the Forecast Period

·      delay in Israel first gas by 3 months to October 2022, which Energean management believes has a low probability of occurring given the acceleration and mitigation measures currently under consideration and the evolution of the COVID-19 situation

A reasonable worst case including a combination of all above sensitivities

The Group also ran a reverse stress test to stress the combination of lower Brent price, lower PSV (Italian Gas Price) and reduced collection of EGPC receivables and assess the impact of this combination on the Group's liquidity and covenants associated with its banking facilities. Energean believes that this combination of scenarios holds a low probability of occurrence.

Should a more extreme downside scenario occur, appropriate mitigating actions that are in management's control and can be executed in the necessary timeframe could be taken such as a tightening of operating cost and reductions/postponement of other discretionary exploration and development expenditures. The Group's cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2021 were $880 million (excluding restricted cash amounts of $266 million).

In terms of the Group's Borrowing Facilities, the following was considered in the context of the Group's liquidity and covenant compliance over the Forecast Period.

Karish Field Development, Israel:

·      Consistent with the Group's plans to implement new financing as the Karish development approaches first gas in mid-2022, Energean issued a $2.5 billion Bond to (i) refinance its $1.45 billion Project Finance Facility (ii) cancel and replace the $700m Term Loan which was drawn to fund the acquisition of Kerogen's minority interest in Energean Israel, (iii) fund future capital and exploration expenditure in Israel, including Karish and Karish North and (iv) for general corporate purposes of the Group. On 29 April 2021 the Group satisfied the escrow release conditions, as a result the proceeds of the Offering were released from the escrow account.

 

Greek RBL:

·      In March 2021, the Group agreed a waiver with its lenders under the EBRD reserve-based lending facility whereby there are no more Borrowing Base redeterminations and the facility effectively converts to an amortising term loan with repayments weighted towards the second half of 2022 to 2024. Covenants under the Subordinated Loan Agreement are also waived until December 2022.

 

Egypt RBL:

The current Borrowing Base redetermination is expected to be completed in September 2021. Given the strong commodities prices and the higher production achieved from the Borrowing Base Assets we do not expect any reduction to the Borrowing Base when the redetermination exercise is completed.

In forming an assessment on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and its review of the forecasted cashflow of the Group over the Forecast Period (from the date of approval of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements) the Board has made significant judgements about:

·      Reasonable sensitivities appropriate for the current status of the business and the wider macro environment; and

the Group's ability to implement the mitigating actions, if required, is within the Group's control, which would further safeguard the Group's liquidity and covenant compliance.

After careful consideration, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, for a period up to 30 September 2022. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

Statement of Directors' responsibilities

The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

1)    The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted in the UK;

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO ENERGEAN PLC

 

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Energean plc (the Company) to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2021 which comprises the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and  the related explanatory notes 1 to 29. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board.  A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group will be prepared in accordance with UK adopted IFRSs. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Responsibilities of the directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

1. Corporate Information 

Energean plc (the 'Company') was incorporated in England & Wales on 8 May 2017 as a public company with limited liability, under the Companies Act 2006. Its registered office is at 44 Baker Street, London W1U 7AL, United Kingdom. The Company and all subsidiaries controlled by the Company, are together referred to as "the Group".

 

The Group has been established with the objective of exploration, production and commercialisation of crude oil and natural gas in Greece, Israel, North Africa and the wider Eastern Mediterranean.

 

The Group's core assets and subsidiaries as of 30 June 2021 are presented in note 29.

 

2. Basis of preparation

2.1 Basis of preparation

As a result of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union on 31 December 2020, the financial statements of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2021 will be prepared under UK-adopted International Accounting Standards. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 included in this interim report have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', and unless otherwise disclosed have been prepared on the basis of the same accounting policies and methods of computation as applied in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and are presented in US Dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) except as otherwise indicated.

 

The US dollar is the currency that mainly influences sales prices and revenue estimates, and also highly affects the Group's operations. The functional currencies of the Group's main subsidiaries are as follows: for Energean E&P Holdings Ltd, Energean Oil & Gas S.A, Energean Montenegro, Energean Italy Spa and Energean International E&P Spa, is Euro, for Energean International Limited, Energean Capital Ltd, Energean Egypt Ltd and Energean Israel Limited is US$.

 

Comparative figures for the period to 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 are for the period ended on that date.

The interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006 and do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, which were prepared in accordance with IFRSs in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified with no reference to matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis and no statement under s498(2) or s498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

Going concern

 

The Group carefully manages its risk to a shortage of funds by monitoring its funding position and its liquidity risk. The going concern  assessment covers for the period to 30  September 2022 'the Forecast Period'.

 

Cash forecasts are regularly produced based on, inter alia, the Group's latest life of field production and budgeted expenditure forecasts, management's best estimate of future commodity prices (based on recent published forward curves) and the Group's borrowing facilities.  The Base Case conservatively assumes first gas from Karish in July 2022, Brent at $70/bbl for the period 1 September to 31 December 2021 and $65/bbl for the period January to September 2022, PSV (Italian gas price) at an average of EUR25/MWH for the period 1 September to 31 December 2021 and EUR20/MWH for the period January to September 2022.

 

In addition, on a regular basis, the Group performs sensitivity tests of its liquidity position for negative impacts that may result from changes to the macroeconomic environment such as a fall in commodity price or increase in interest rate. The Group also looks at the impact of changes or deferral of key projects and/or portfolio rationalisation. This is done to identify risks to liquidity and covenant compliance and enable management to formulate appropriate and timely mitigation strategies in order to manage the risk of funding shortfalls or covenant breaches and to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Specifically, the Group tested the following sensitivities:

 


 

·      Reduction in Commodity Prices over the Forecast Period (10% applied to PSV prices and 7.5% to Brent prices)

·      Decrease in projected collection of EGPC receivables over the Forecast Period

·      Delay in Israel 1st gas by 3 months to October 2022, which Energean management believes has a low probability of occurring given the acceleration and mitigation measures currently under consideration and the evolution of the COVID-19 situation

·      A reasonable worst case including a combination of all above sensitivities

The Group also ran a reverse stress test to stress  the combination of lower Brent price, lower PSV (Italian Gas Price) and reduced collection of EGPC receivables, and assess  the impact of this combination on the Group's liquidity and covenants associated with its banking facilities. Energean believes that this combination of scenarios holds a low probability of occurrence.

 

Should a more extreme downside scenario occur, appropriate mitigating actions that are in management's control and can be executed in the necessary timeframe could be taken such as a tightening of operating cost and reductions/postponement of other discretionary exploration and development expenditures. The Group's cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2021 are $880 million.

 

In terms of the Group's Borrowing Facilities, the following was considered in the context of the Group's liquidity and covenant compliance over the Forecast Period.

 

Karish Field Development, Israel:

·      Consistent with the Group's plans to implement new financing as the Karish development approaches first gas in mid-2022, Energean issued a $2.5 billion Bond to (i) refinance its $1.45 billion Project Finance Facility (ii) cancel and replace the $700m Term Loan which was drawn to fund the acquisition of Kerogen's minority interest in Energean Israel, (iii) fund future capital and exploration expenditure in Israel, including Karish and Karish North and (iv) for general corporate purposes of the Group. On 29 April 2021 the Group satisfied the escrow release conditions, as a result the proceeds of the Offering were released from the escrow account.

Greek RBL:

·      In March 2021, the Group agreed a waiver with its lenders under the EBRD reserve-based lending facility whereby there are no more Borrowing Base Redeterminations and the facility effectively converts to an amortising term loan with repayments weighted towards the second half of 2022 to 2024. Covenants under the Subordinated Loan Agreement are also waived until December 2022.

Egypt RBL:

·      The current Borrowing Base redetermination is expected to be completed in September 2021. Given the strong commodities prices and the higher production achieved from the Borrowing Base Assets we do not expect any reduction to the Borrowing Base when the redetermination exercise is completed.

 

In forming an assessment on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and its review of the forecasted cashflow of the Group over the Forecast Period (from the date of approval of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements) the Board has made significant judgements about:

·      Reasonable sensitivities appropriate for the current status of the business and the wider macro environment; and

·      The Group's ability to implement the mitigating actions, if required, is within the Group's control, which would further safeguard the Group's liquidity and covenant compliance.

After careful consideration, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, for a period up to 30 September 2022. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

New and amended accounting standards and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of the new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2021. None of the amendments that are effective as of 1 January 2021 had a significant impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective as at 1 January 2021. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

 

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients:

·      A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest • Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued

·      Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component

The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

 

 

2.2 Approval of accounts

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 1 September 2021.

 


3. Segmental Reporting

The information reported to the Group's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together the Chief Operating Decision Makers) for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is focused on four operating segments: Europe, (including Greece, Italy, UK, Croatia), Israel, Egypt and New Ventures (Montenegro and Malta).

 

The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 Operating Segments are Europe, Israel and Egypt. Segments that do not exceed the quantitative thresholds for reporting information about operating segments have been included in Other. In 2020, before the acquisition of Edison E&P, the Group had no activities in Egypt and the Europe segment comprised only Greece (including the Prinos and Epsilon production asset, Katakolo non-producing assets and Ioannina and Aitoloakarnania exploration assets).

4. Prior year business combination

Acquisition of Edison E&P

On 17 December 2020, the Group acquired 100 per cent of the issued share capital and obtained control of Edison Exploration & Production S.p.A ("Edison E&P"). Edison E&P contains a portfolio of assets including producing assets in Egypt, Italy, the UK North Sea and Croatia with development assets in Egypt and Italy and balanced-risk exploration opportunities across the portfolio. The acquisition of Edison E&P qualifies as a business combination as defined in IFRS 3.

 

The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Edison E&P were provisionally estimated as at the date of acquisition. As of 30 June 2021 no change has been identified to the ascribed fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities.

 

The base consideration payable of $398.6 million, which excludes contingent consideration, was agreed as of a locked box date of 1 January 2019 with the impact of economic performance, capital expenditure and working capital movements from this date to completion of 17 December 2020 adjusted within the final consideration payable of $269.9 million from which amount of $266.6 million was paid in December 2020 and amount $3.3 million paid in January 2021.

 

The contingent consideration arrangement will vary depending on future Italian gas prices at the point in time at which first gas production is delivered from the Cassiopea field in Italy which is expected in 2024. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Group could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0 and $100 million.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of $55.2 million was estimated by applying forward gas price curves against the expected date of first gas as at acquisition date.  This resulted in an aggregate fair value of $299.3 million being allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, prior to the recognition of a deferred tax liability of $22.9 million as further described below.

 

Goodwill of $25.3 million has been recognised upon acquisition. An amount of $22.9 million was due to the requirement of IAS 12 to recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities for the difference between the assigned fair values and tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The assessment of fair value of such licences is therefore based on cash flows after tax. Hence, goodwill arises as a direct result of the recognition of this deferred tax adjustment ("technical goodwill"). None of the goodwill recognised will be deductible for income tax purposes.

8. Fair value measurements

The information set out below provides information about how the Group determines the fair values of various financial assets and liabilities.

 

The fair values of the Group's non-current liabilities measured at amortised cost are considered to approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date.

 

The carrying value less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term-nature. The fair value of the group's finance lease obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the group's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types and maturities of borrowing and are consequently categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Contingent consideration

As part of the share purchase agreement (the "SPA") dated 4 July 2019 between Energean and Edison Spa provides for a contingent consideration of up to $100.0 million subject to the commissioning of the Cassiopea development gas project in Italy. The consideration was determined to be contingent on the basis of future gas prices (PSV) recorded at the time of the commissioning of the field, which is expected in 2024. No payment will be due if the arithmetic average of the year one (i.e., the first year after first gas production) and year two (i.e., the second year after first gas production) Italian PSV Natural Gas Futures prices is less than €10/Mwh when first gas production is delivered from the field. US$100 million is payable if that average price exceeds €20/Mwh. The contingent consideration to be payable in 2026 is estimated at acquisition date to amount to $61.7m, which discounted at the selected cost of debt results in a present value of $55.2m as at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration payable has been recognized at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and has been estimated by reference to the sales and purchase agreement and by simulating PSV pricing by reference to the forecasted PSV pricing, historical volatility and a log normal distribution.

As at 30 June 2021, the two year future curve of PSV prices increased from the date of acquisition and indicate an average price in excess of €20/Mwh for 2023 it is probable that the average price will exceed €20/Mwh from 2023. The Group monitors closely the future PSV prices however given the current volatility in the commodity markets, the Group's estimate as at 30 June 2021 of the fair value of the contingent consideration payable in 2026 has not materially changed since the previous reporting date.

 

At 30 June 2021 the fair value has been increased to $56.1 million (31 December 2020: $55.2 million) for the unwinding cost recognised in income statement within finance cost.

 

Fair values of derivative financial instruments

The Group held financial instruments at fair value at 30 June 2021 related to interest rate derivatives. All derivatives are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet with valuation changes recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the derivatives have been designated as a cash flow hedge. Fair value is the amount for which the asset or liability could be exchanged in an arm's length transaction at the relevant date. Where available, fair values are determined using quoted prices in active markets. To the extent that market prices are not available, fair values are estimated by reference to market-based transactions, or using standard valuation techniques for the applicable instruments and commodities involved. Values recorded are as at the balance sheet date, and will not necessarily be realised.

 

As at 30 June 2021 the Group's interest rate derivative (Level 2) is not designated as hedging instruments.

 

The fair value hierarchy of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosure is required) is as follows:

(b) Reconciliation of the total tax charge

The Group calculates its income tax expense as per IAS 34 by applying a weighted average tax rate calculated based on the statutory tax rates in Greece (25%), Israel (23%), Italy (24%) and United Kingdom (40%) weighted according to the profit or loss before tax earned by the Group in each jurisdiction where deferred tax is recognised or material current tax charge arises. The effective tax rate for the period is -74% (30 June 2020: -22%).

The tax (charge)/credit of the period can be reconciled to the loss per the consolidated income statement as follows:

Included in the carrying amount of leased assets at 30 June 2021 is right of use assets related to oil and gas properties and Other property, plant and equipment of $43.3 million and $6.9 million respectively.

 

The depreciation charged on these classes for the six-month ending 30 June 2021 were $4.1 million and $0.4 million respectively.

The additions to oil & gas properties for the period of six months ended 30 June 2021 is mainly due to development costs of Karish field related to the EPCIC contract (FPSO, Sub Sea and On-shore construction cost) at the amount of $161.8 million, development cost for Cassiopea project in Italy at the amount of $8.4 million and NEA/NI project in Egypt at the amount of $17.5 million.

 

Borrowing costs capitalised for qualifying assets, included in oil & gas properties, for the six months ended 30 June 2021 amounted to $123.4 million (year ended 31 December 2020: $94.9 million). The weighted average interest rates used:

·      7.66% (for the six months ended 30 June 2021)

·      8.72% (for the year ended 31 December 2020)

During the year 2020 the Group executed an impairment test for the Prinos CGU (Prinos and Epsilon fields). In that period, indicators of impairment were noted for the Prinos CGU, being a reduction in both short-term (Dated Brent forward curve) and long-term price assumptions and a change in the Group's Prinos field production forecast, which have resulted in an impairment of $65.3 million in the carrying value of the Prinos CGU.

At 30 June 2021 the Group has gross unused tax losses of $757.3 million (as of 31 December 2020: $783.6 million) available to offset against future profits. Out of the total tax losses, $380.4 million come from the Greek operations whereas amount of $18.1 million comes from the Israeli operations and specifically the Karish licence which is in the development phase and expected to commence production by 2021. Tax losses of $329.6 million comes from the Italian and UK operations of the former Edison E&P Group.

With respect to the Greek tax losses carried forward, the majority of them ($374.3 million) come from the Prinos exploitation area, whereas an amount of $1.5 million comes from Ioannina and Katakolo areas which are in the exploration and development phase respectively.

A deferred tax asset of $170.5 million has been recognised as of 30 June 2021 (as of 31 December 2020: $165.8 million) in respect of such tax losses. This represents the losses which are expected to be utilised based on Group's projection of future taxable profits in the jurisdictions in which the losses reside. It is considered probable based on business forecasts that such profits will be available.

Decommissioning provision

The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to oil and gas properties, which are expected to be incurred up to 2040, when the producing oil and gas properties are expected to cease operations. The future costs are based on a combination of estimates from an external study completed at the end of 2019 and internal estimates. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at economically viable rates. This, in turn, will depend upon future oil and gas prices, which are inherently uncertain.

The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to assets in Italy, Greece, UK, Israel and Croatia. No provision is recognized for Egypt as there is no legal or constructive obligation as at 30 June 2021.

Litigation and other claims provisions

Litigation and other claim provision relates to litigation actions currently open in Italy with the Termoli Port Authority in respect of the fees payable under the marine concession regarding FSO Alba Marina serving the Rospo Mare field in Italy.  Energean Italy Spa has appealed these cases to the Campobasso Court of Appeal. None of the other cases has yet had a decision on the substantive issue. The Group contain a provision of €4.7 million against an adverse outcome of these court cases.

 

Energean Italy Spa has currently open litigations with five municipalities in Italy related to the imposition of real estate municipality taxes (IMU/TASI), interest and related penalties concerning the periods 2016 to 2019. For the years before 2019, Edison SpA bears uncapped liability for any amount assessed according the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) signed between the companies while the Company is liable for any tax liability related to tax year 2019. For all five cases, Energean Italy Spa (together with Edison SpA, as appropriate) filed appeals presenting strong legal and technical arguments for reducing the assessed taxes to the lowest possible level as well as cancelling entirely the imposed penalties. The Group strongly believes based on legal advice received that the outcome of the court decisions will be in its favour with no material exposure expected, therefore the Group recognised a provision of $1.2 million in respect of this claims.

 

Amount of $1.8 million provision relates to leasing cost charged to ENI on the floating storage located in the Leoanis plan. The Group following a claim from ENI accounted for this provision since these overestimated costs were required to be reimbursement.

 

Other provisions include non-income tax provision and other potential claim in Egypt.

 

It is not currently possible to accurately predict the timing of the settlement of these claims and therefore the expected timing of the cash flows.

Energean Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

Under the LTIP, Senior Management can be granted nil exercise price options, normally exercisable from three to ten years following grant provided an individual remains in employment. The size of awards depends on both annual performance measures and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) over a period of up to three years. There are no post-grant performance conditions. No dividends are paid over the vesting period; however, Energean's Board may decide at any time prior to the issue or transfer of the shares in respect of which an award is released that the participant will receive an amount (in cash and/or additional Shares) equal in value to any dividends that would have been paid on those shares on such terms and over such period (ending no later than the Release Date) as the Board may determine. This amount may assume the reinvestment of dividends (on such basis as the Board may determine) and may exclude or include special dividends.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for LTIP awards outstanding at 30 June 2021 was 1.6 years, number of shares outstanding 2,036,982 and weighted average price at grant date £5.99.

 

 

 

Deferred Share Bonus Plan (DSBP)

Under the DSBP, the portion of any annual bonus above 30 per cent of the base salary of a Senior Executive nominated by the Remuneration Committee was deferred into shares.

Deferred awards are usually granted in the form of conditional share awards or nil-cost options (or, exceptionally, as cash-settled equivalents). Deferred awards usually vest two years after award although may vest early on leaving employment or on a change of control.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for DSBP awards outstanding at 30 June 2021 was 1.3 years, number of shares outstanding 234,902 and price at grant date £6.75.

Legal cases and contingent liabilities

The Group had no material contingent liabilities as of 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020.

 



 

27. Subsequent events

 

Compensation to gas buyers due to late supply:

During August 2021 and in accordance with the GSPAs signed with a group of gas buyers, the Group has agreed to pay compensation to these counterparties due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place beyond a certain date as defined in the GSPAs (being 30 June 2021). The compensation will be paid on a monthly basis starting on August 2021 and is estimated at approx. US$23 million. The compensation is accounted as variable purchase consideration under IFRS 15 hence recognised once production commences and gas is delivered to the offtakers

 

Gas buyer request for arbitration:

During August 2021 a gas buyer sent a request to the International Court of Arbitration ("ICC") asking for arbitration on its rights of termination due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place beyond a certain date which defined in the GSPA. If the agreement it is terminated, the Group has identified multiple alternative routes to monetise those gas volumes (being 0.8 Bcm/yr), including both domestic and international markets, and hence is confident of profitably selling them
