The Amerisur acquisition is shown net of cash acquired.

Production: Oil and gas production in 2Q2021 decreased by 1% to 36,489 boepd from 36,912 boepd in 2Q2020, mainly resulting from lower oil and gas production in Colombia and Chile, partially offset by increased production in Brazil and Argentina. Oil represented 85% and 88% of total reported production in 2Q2021 and 2Q2020, respectively.

The Company’s production in Colombia during 2Q2021 was affected by extensive protests and demonstrations that impacted overall logistics, restricting the Company’s crude oil transportation, drilling and the mobilization of personnel, equipment, and supplies, causing the Company to manage production curtailments that started in early May and normalized towards the end of June.

For further details, please refer to the 2Q2021 Operational Update published on July 22, 2021.

Reference and Realized Oil Prices: Brent crude oil prices averaged $68.7 per bbl during 2Q2021 and the consolidated realized oil sales price averaged $57.0 per bbl in 2Q2021.

  • Chile: In 2Q2021, gas revenue increased by 10% to $4.5 million reflecting higher gas prices offset by lower gas deliveries. Gas prices were 39% higher, at $3.6 per mcf ($21.8 per boe) in 2Q2021. Gas deliveries fell by 21% to 13,490 mcfpd (2,248 boepd).
  • Brazil: In 2Q2021, gas revenue increased by 312% to $5.6 million, due to higher gas deliveries and higher gas prices. Gas deliveries increased by 214% from the Manati gas field (GeoPark non-operated, 10% WI) to 11,284 mcfpd (1,881 boepd). Gas prices increased by 31% to $5.4 per mcf ($32.6 per boe) mainly due to the impact of the annual price inflation adjustment effective January 2021.
  • Argentina: In 2Q2021, gas revenue increased by 43% to $1.2 million, resulting from higher gas prices and higher gas deliveries. Gas prices increased by 13% to $2.8 per mcf ($17.0 per boe) due to local market conditions while deliveries increased by 26% to 4,467 mcfpd (744 boepd).

Commodity Risk Management Contracts: Consolidated commodity risk management contracts amounted to a $47.7 million loss in 2Q2021, compared to a $9.1 million loss in 2Q2020.

(47.7)

(9.1)

The realized portion of the commodity risk management contracts registered a loss of $35.7 million in 2Q2021 compared to a $8.7 million gain in 2Q2020. Realized losses recorded in 2Q2021 reflected the impact of zero cost collar hedges covering a portion of the Company’s oil production with average ceiling prices below actual Brent oil prices during the quarter.

The unrealized portion of the commodity risk management contracts amounted to a $12.0 million loss in 2Q2021, compared to a $17.9 million loss in 2Q2020. Unrealized losses during 2Q2021 resulted from the increase in the forward Brent oil price curve compared to March 31, 2021 which caused the market value of the Company’s hedging portfolio for 3Q2021 onwards to decrease, as measured on June 30, 2021.

Please refer to the “Commodity Risk Oil Management Contracts” section below for a description of hedges in place as of the date of this release.

Production and Operating Costs5: Consolidated production and operating costs increased to $53.0 million from $20.7 million, mainly resulting from higher cash royalties that increased by $21.4 million, and to a lesser extent from increased operating costs.

Lower operating costs in the comparative period mainly resulted from the temporary shut ins of higher cost wells (which were gradually brought back in 2H2020 in line with the partial recovery in oil prices) in addition to the suspension of well intervention and maintenance activities due to the lower oil price environment.

Consolidated royalties increased to $24.6 million in 2Q2021 compared to $3.2 million in 2Q2020, in line with higher oil and gas prices and increased oil and gas deliveries.

Consolidated operating costs increased to $28.3 million in 2Q2021 compared to $17.4 million in 2Q2020.

The breakdown of operating costs is as follows:

  • Colombia: Operating costs per boe amounted to $7.3 in 2Q2021, compared to $7.4 in 1Q2021 or $4.8 in 2Q2020. Lower costs per boe in the comparative period are explained by temporary shut-ins of higher cost wells and suspended well intervention and maintenance activities due to the lower oil price environment. Total operating costs increased to $21.0 million in 2Q2021 from $11.7 in 2Q2020 due to higher operating costs per boe and to a lesser extent, to higher deliveries (which increased by 2%).
  • Chile: Operating costs per boe increased to $14.6 in 2Q2021 compared to $6.2 in 2Q2020 due to well intervention and maintenance activities that were suspended in the comparative period due to the lower oil price environment. Total operating costs increased to $3.3 million in 2Q2021 from $1.7 million in 2Q2020, in line with higher operating costs per boe, partially offset by lower oil and gas deliveries (which decreased by 21%).
  • Brazil: Operating costs per boe decreased to $7.1 in 2Q2021 compared to $20.5 in 2Q2020. The comparative period was affected by the impact of fixed costs over lower production and deliveries in Manati gas field. Total operating costs increased to $0.9 million in 2Q2021 from $0.7 million in 2Q2020, reflecting higher gas deliveries in the Manati field (deliveries in Brazil increased by 181%) and lower operating costs per boe.
  • Argentina: Operating costs per boe decreased to $17.5 in 2Q2021 compared to $20.1 in 2Q2020 due to successful cost reduction efforts and the local currency devaluation. Total operating costs decreased to $3.1 million in 2Q2021 from $3.3 million in 2Q2020, due to lower operating costs per boe and higher oil and gas deliveries, which increased by 10%.

Selling Expenses: Consolidated selling expenses increased to $1.8 million in 2Q2021, compared to $1.6 million in 2Q2020.

Administrative Expenses: Consolidated G&A amounted to $12.7 million in 2Q2021 compared to $11.3 million. Amounts recorded in 2Q2021 include advisory and consultancy fees related to the strategic deleveraging process executed in April 2021 and the Annual General Meeting.

Geological & Geophysical Expenses: Consolidated G&G expenses decreased to $2.1 million in 2Q2021 compared to $3.0 million in 2Q2020.

Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA6 increased by 118% to $60.5 million, or $18.5 per boe, in 2Q2021 compared to $27.8 million, or $8.9 per boe, in 2Q2020.

Depreciation: Consolidated depreciation charges decreased by 12% to $20.6 million in 2Q2021, compared to $23.3 million in 2Q2020, in line with lower depreciation costs per boe, partially offset by higher oil and gas volumes delivered, which increased by 4%.

Write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts: The consolidated write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts amounted to $8.1 million in 2Q2021 compared to zero in 2Q2020. Amounts recorded in 2Q2021 refer to unsuccessful exploration costs incurred in the Llanos 32 block in Colombia and other exploration costs incurred in the Fell block in Chile.

Other Income (Expenses): Other operating expenses showed a $0.4 million loss in 2Q2021, compared to a $7.4 million loss in 2Q2020. The comparative period includes the write-down of $6.0 million of value-added tax credits in Peru.

CONSOLIDATED NON-OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

Financial Expenses: Net financial expenses increased to $20.6 million in 2Q2021, compared to $15.9 million in 2Q2020. Amounts recorded in 2Q2021 include $6.3 million related to one-time costs associated with the strategic deleveraging process executed in April 2021 that resulted in significant debt reduction with extended maturities and lower costs of debt.

For further details on the strategic deleveraging process, please refer to the press release published on April 22, 2021.

NOTICE

Additional information about GeoPark can be found in the “Investor Support” section on the website at www.geo-park.com.

Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this press release may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release may not sum due to rounding.

This press release contains certain oil and gas metrics, including information per share, operating netback, reserve life index and others, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward- looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.

Forward-looking statements that appear in a number of places in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, regarding various matters, including our strategic deleveraging process, the cost reduction initiatives, expected or future production, production growth and operating and financial performance, operating netback per boe, future opportunities, our increased dividend and capital expenditures plan. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to the management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the Company which could affect whether these forward-looking statements are realized, see filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Oil and gas production figures included in this release are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses. Annual production per day is obtained by dividing total production by 365 days.

Information about oil and gas reserves: The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proven, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. GeoPark uses certain terms in this press release, such as "PRMS Reserves" that the SEC's guidelines do not permit GeoPark from including in filings with the SEC. As a result, the information in the Company’s SEC filings with respect to reserves will differ significantly from the information in this press release.

NPV10 for PRMS 1P, 2P and 3P reserves is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow for SEC proved reserves.

The reserve estimates provided in this release are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may eventually prove to be greater than, or less than, the estimates provided herein. Statements relating to reserves are by their nature forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Measures: The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and operating netback per boe, which are each non-GAAP measures, are useful because they allow the Company to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, return on capital employed and operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the period before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options stock awards, unrealized results on commodity risk management contracts and other non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of profit or cash flow as determined by IFRS. The Company excludes the items listed above from profit for the period in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

Operating Netback per boe: Operating netback per boe should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from operating netback per boe are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of operating netback per boe. The Company’s calculation of operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of operating netback per boe to the IFRS financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

Net Debt: Net debt is defined as current and non-current borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
