Correction to Financial Report for Q2 2024
Interoil has provided a clarification following their recent announcement on the stock exchange regarding the financial report for the second quarter and the first half of 2024.
Revised Financial Figures
In the earlier announcement, there were errors in the reported revenues and EBITDA for the first half of 2024. The corrected figures now show revenues of USD 10.6 million and an EBITDA of USD -0.8 million. This correction is essential for investors and stakeholders who depend on precise financial information.
Additionally, for the first three months of 2024, revenues were recorded at USD 5.3 million. This figure had been inaccurately presented as higher in previous documents, highlighting the critical need for accuracy in financial reporting.
Highlights of Q2 2024
In the first half of 2024, Interoil achieved a net production of 100,334 barrels of oil equivalents (boe), a notable increase from the 54,310 boe produced during the same period last year. This growth is largely due to the acquisition of a 43% stake in the Santa Cruz assets in Argentina, completed in June 2023.
The adjusted EBITDA of USD -0.8 million reflects a slight decline from the USD -0.1 million reported in the first half of 2023, indicating that there are ongoing challenges in the operational environment that must be addressed to achieve profitability.
Key Commercial Developments
This year, Interoil Argentina established a new commercial agreement with Compañia General de Combustibles (CGC), a significant player in Argentina's oil and gas industry. This agreement offers Interoil an alternative route for crude oil delivery, reducing freight costs and enabling price increases of up to USD 10 per barrel compared to previous delivery methods.
Operational Challenges in Argentina
Despite these advancements, Interoil encountered considerable operational challenges due to harsh winter conditions in Argentina. The severe cold, with temperatures plummeting to 20°C below zero, negatively impacted production from the Santa Cruz fields. During this time, national routes were blocked, and local authorities imposed roadblocks for safety, complicating access to essential services and equipment.
