Corporate and Financial Summary

·      Profit after tax before non-cash items* of US$5.6 million (H1 2021 loss of US$2.1 million)

·      Group turnover of US$17.7 million (H1 2021 US$17.1 million)

·      Free cash flow from core operations of US$6.8 million up 10% over the same period in 2021 (H1 2021 US$6.2 million)

·      Adjusted EBITDA of US$5.7 million up 25% over the same period in 2021 

·      Third party financial borrowings in Argentina non-recourse to Group of US$22.9 million (H1 2021 US$5.9 million) with such increased borrowings arising from material new capex spending, including drilling and investments made in Argentina. All debt in Argentina being serviced in accordance with terms. Group debt of US$11.3 million (H1 2021 US$11.4 million) to the UK parent is covenant lite, long-term debt from IYA, an affiliate of the largest shareholder and Chairman under an open line of credit

·      Mark to market value of holding in Atome Energy PLC as at 20 September 2022 of £9.8m (2021: nil) all of which is not shown in the accounts due to the vagaries of accounting reporting standards

·      Due to currency exchange restrictions in Argentina, the amount paid back to the UK by its Argentina subsidiary was, and still is, limited to servicing interest for part of the intercompany loan with no capital repayments currently permitted by law. By way of illustration, currently this monthly interest payment back to Group amounts to some US$ 115k

 

Operational Summary

·      Average Group net daily production in the period of 1,969 boepd, down 26% on the previous year, impacted by production outages in Argentina, delay in new wells coming on-stream and Louisiana being offline for more than half of the period

·      Group production split 69% oil and 31% gas (H1 2021: 64% oil and 36% gas)

·      Group well operating costs per boe in the core Argentine business increased by 27% over same period last year due to lower production

·      In Louisiana, disappointing issues with workovers and procuring of equipment resulted in no material contribution to results in the period with wells shut-in for more than half the period and sub-optimal flow levels for a longer period. Accordingly, during that period of inactivity, no monies were repaid to the Group and in fact, over US$ 1 million was paid by the Group out of central resources in connection with workover activities

·      In Paraguay, work continued in relation to preparation for drilling of the exploration well with our partner CPC, the State Energy Company of Taiwan

·      Green House Capital has been created with the purpose of becoming the alternative energy division of President. That division has taken first steps with potential Lithium investment

·      Average price per barrel received during the Period was US$ 64.75 in Argentina and US$104.44 in Louisiana

 

Current trading and developments

·      Further to the recent fire in our Puesto Flores Facility in Rio Negro Argentina as announced on 11 August, the disruption has impacted on production from the Puesto Flores oil field in August and September with full and normal production there expected in the first part of October. The Company has insurance coverage and there were no injuries to personnel

·      All other of the Company's fields in Rio Negro, including gas production, and Puesto Guardian have continued to produce normally without disruption, with Salta, Argentina, production for August showing an increase of over 70% compared to the level of production as at 1 January 2022

·      Sales price for oil in Argentina improving with current price receivable in Rio Negro approximately US$65 per barrel and in Salta US$68.  The recent reduction in international oil prices has to date not affected these levels

·      At the current time, the Company has no visibility as to when principal loan repayments can start to be made to the Group from Argentina with timing completely out of the hands of President

·      In Louisiana full production is now expected to resume in October after final installation of the necessary gas lift equipment with the wells having being offline for approximately 90% of the time since the start of H2 2022 due to complications in finalising agreements for the gas buyback and sourcing available barges. Once online, profits can start to be repatriated to the Group

·      In September new management in Louisiana have been installed at operational level which has started to have a noticeable effect in moving things forward. Until such a time as full production is re-started it is imprudent to project steady state levels of flow as this will be the first time that gas lift will be utilised in the Triche well albeit, in theory, this is designed to stabilise and enhance production levels and mitigate the annoying stop start of recent periods. 

·      In Paraguay, preparations for the new exploration well have continued satisfactorily with all contractual payments by the partner being paid on time and good relations enjoyed.  The position with the Rig contract remains to be fully resolved due to internal complications with the current owner although this is expected to be resolved by the end of November.  At that stage, a spud date will be determined

·      Green House Capital having taken first steps in relation to Lithium in Argentina and is now seeking to expand its interests in alternative energies and related technologies outside of that country . This is an ongoing process.

·      The name of the Company is proposed to be changed to Molecular Energies PLC together with consolidation of shares and increase in authorities.  General Meeting of shareholders due to be held on 29 September 2022.

 

Commenting on today's announcement, Peter Levine, Chairman said:

"President has delivered a period of solid profits but we recognise the difficulties of the Group's current reliance on cashflow from its Argentine centric main business when it is not possible to repatriate such profits to Group level. The formation of Green House Capital, which intends to replicate the success of the Atome transaction for the benefit of President shareholders, is the first step in a diversification programme that is subject to active internal debate.

 

"The disruption in hydrocarbon production in Argentina and Louisiana has not in any event been helpful to our existing business the effect of which is being felt in the second part of this year. I have ordered action and change at country, field and local management level to get us back on a consistent growth path which is a necessity in any event. Notwithstanding my continuing financial support for what will soon be Molecular Energies through my private investment group, reducing the Group debt level including at parent level is a priority over the next months. This will place the Group in a stronger position whilst supporting its evolution into more fertile fields of business where the prospects are re-invigorating and exciting after the frustrating and unrewarding battles of the last years.

 

"The change of name, image and related matters including the creation of Green House Capital are evidence of our determination to carry out the evolution as soon as possible.  The appreciation of approximately 30% in the Atome Energy share price since the start of the year achieved with the right management team we put in place is beneficial to our investment assets and is a precedent pointing to our capability to enhance shareholder value by our evolved strategy.

 

"The Group has a solid base, is profitable on a post-tax basis excluding non-cash items and is operationally cash-flow positive.  As the board continues to implement its new strategy we look forward to our future as Molecular Energies PLC capitalising and repeating the success of Atome with a significant originated value generation for shareholders".
