At its meeting of 4 August 2025, the Board of Directors of Établissements Maurel & Prom S.A. (“M&P”, “the Group”) approved the financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2025.

Olivier de Langavant, Chief Executive Officer of Maurel & Prom, said: "Despite the sharp fall in crude oil prices, M&P has once again demonstrated the strength of its business model and its ability to generate value. Thanks to our operational and financial discipline we have posted resilient results and show a stronger balance sheet together with greater strategic flexibility. In addition to the imminent completion of our acquisition in Colombia, we are fully committed to pursuing this growth and development momentum across new projects thanks to our solid cash position, while ensuring strong returns for our shareholders.”

Financial performance

Consolidated sales for the first half of 2025 came to $289 million, down compared with the first half of 2024 ($412 million) due to the fall in both M&P’s share of consolidated production (down 7% to 29,620 boepd) and in the average selling price of oil (down 16% to $70.9/b). Lower third-party oil trading activities ($52 million compared with $77 million in 2024) also explains this decrease.

Operating and administrative expenses came to $102 million for the period. Royalties and taxes from operations amounted to $34 million, and oil purchases from third parties to $52 million.

EBITDA was $140 million. Depreciation and amortisation amounted to $42 million while exploration expenses came to $2 million. Operating income came out at $98 million, after taking into account other income of $3 million.

After factoring in the financial result (a structural financial loss of $4 million), income tax ($46 million) and the share of income of associates ($59 million, of which $52 million for its 40% interest in Petroregional del Lago ("PRDL") in Venezuela, and $7 million for its 20.46% interest in Seplat Energy), the Group's consolidated net income amounted to $107 million for the first half of 2025 (of which $106 million in recurring consolidated net income). The Group share of net income came to $104 million.

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was $73 million for the first half of 2025. Changes in working capital requirements had a positive impact of $35 million over the period, resulting in operating cash flow of $108 million.

The Group recorded development capex of $65 million (including $43 million in Gabon, $18 million in Angola and $2 million in Tanzania) and exploration capex of $4 million (including $3 million in Gabon, mainly for the ongoing acquisition of seismic data). The $22 million spent on asset acquisitions corresponds to the payment of deposits to NG Energy and Etu Energias for acquisitions in progress, respectively in Colombia for the Sinu-9 licence and in Angola for Block 3/05.

M&P received $47 million in dividends in the first half of 2025, including $33 million from PRDL in Venezuela (net of the 20% paid to M&P Iberoamerica’s minority shareholder), and $14 million from Seplat Energy.

Free cash flow stood at $64 million at the end of the first half of 2025.

Net debt servicing amounted to $34 million, of which $26 million in principal repayments.

The change in cash position is positive at $31 million.

Financial position

The Group had a positive net cash position of $91 million at 30 June 2025, compared with $34 million at 31 December 2024. Its cash position was $225 million versus gross debt of $134 million, of which $85 million in bank loan and $49 million in shareholder loan. M&P repaid $26 million of gross debt in the first half of 2025 ($19 million of bank loan and $7 million of shareholder loan).

Thanks to the completion on 11 April 2025 of an accordion facility of $113 million on the bank loan, available bank liquidity at 30 June amounted to $404 million (excluding the $100 million tranche of the shareholder loan available and undrawn to date), and includes:

• $225 million in cash;
• $50 million undrawn from the amortised loan, available until January 2026; and
• $130 million undrawn RCF (revolving credit facility), available until July 2027.

Refinancing of the bank loan is scheduled for the second half of 2025, to extend its term beyond its current maturity in July 2027.

Information on the ongoing acquisition of a 61% stake in the Sinu-9 gas permit in Colombia

On 9 February 2025, M&P signed a definitive agreement with NG Energy International Corp. (“NG Energy”), for the acquisition of a 40% operating working interest in the Sinu-9 gas permit in Colombia for $150 million. The effective economic date of the transaction was 1 February 2025. In addition, a second agreement was signed on 2 July 2025 with the minority partners of Sinu-9, for M&P to acquire an additional 21% interest, for a consideration of $78.75 million.

Closing of the transactions remains subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the approval of Colombia’s ANH, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The original interest assignment agreement with NG Energy was submitted to Colombia’s ANH shortly after signing in February 2025. M&P anticipates that the ANH will now review all transactions in parallel, with all necessary approvals expected to be received by September 2025.

A $20 million deposit was paid to NG Energy at the end of February. At 30 June 2025, the balance outstanding amounted to $205.8 million:

• A supplemental payment of $20 million to NG Energy was made in early July;
• A deposit of $2.95 million to the minority partners, which was also paid in early July;
• A payment of $125.8 million to be made upon completion of the transactions ($50 million for NG Energy and $75.8 million to the minority partners);
• Two deferred payments of $30 million each to NG Energy will follow: the first, three months after closing, and the second, six months after closing.

An adjustment reflecting cash flows for the period from the effective economic date (1 February 2025) to completion will be made for the transaction with NG Energy.

In addition, M&P will have a 12-month option from completion to acquire an additional 5% interest in Sinu-9 from NG Energy for a consideration of $18.75 million, with an effective economic date of 1 February 2025.

Sinu-9 achieved first gas production in November 2024, under the ongoing long-term test of the Magico-1X and Brujo-1X wells. Gross production capacity has been around 21 mmcfd (13 mmcfd net to the acquired 61% working interest) since early July, following the commissioning of a second compressor on the mobile unit installed on the Brujo-1X platform. Evacuation infrastructure is in place today for 30 mmcfd, which will be increased up to 40 mmcfd (24 mmcfd net to the acquired 61% working interest) by the end of October 2025.
