Production rose 18% and net debt fell by 50% versus year-end 2025, driven by strong performance at Jubilee, GTA, and Gulf of Mexico assets. Significant cost reductions and portfolio optimization improved margins, while progress on growth projects and refinancing initiatives support a positive outlook.

Fiscal Year 2025

Strong operational and financial progress in Q4 and early 2026, with production growth, cost reductions, and debt paydown underway. Ghana and GTA assets are driving performance, while asset sales and strategic partnerships support a lower-cost, growth-focused portfolio.

Q1 saw strong progress with first LNG cargo from GTA, significant CapEx and overhead reductions, and production growth expected in H2 2025. Financial resilience is supported by refinancing, hedging, and flexible CapEx, with a focus on cash generation and debt reduction.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2024 saw major operational milestones, reserve growth, and enhanced financial resilience. 2025 will focus on free cash flow via increased production, sharp CapEx and overhead reductions, and debt paydown, with leverage targeted below 1.5x by late 2026.
-
Operational momentum continued in Q3 2024 with production ramping toward 90,000 boe/d, strong progress on the GTA LNG project, and a sharp CapEx reduction planned for 2025 to prioritize free cash flow and debt reduction. Leverage target set below 1.5x before considering shareholder returns.

Operational momentum continues with key projects progressing, though full-year production guidance was lowered due to well underperformance and delays. Free cash flow is set to inflect as CapEx falls, with a focus on debt reduction and selective growth.
