EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

General information

GeoPark Limited (the “Company”) is a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. The Registered Office address is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda.

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “GeoPark”) is the exploration, development and production for oil and gas reserves in Latin America.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2024.

Basis of Preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of GeoPark Limited are presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. The amendments and interpretations detailed in the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, that apply for the first time in 2024, do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Whenever necessary, certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current period.

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

The activities of the Group are not subject to significant seasonal changes.

Estimates

The preparation of interim financial information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Financial risk management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: currency risk, price risk, credit risk concentration, funding and liquidity risk, interest risk and capital risk. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 1 (Continued)

Financial risk management (Continued)

The Group is continually reviewing its exposure to the current market conditions and adjusting its capital expenditures program which remains flexible and quickly adaptable to different oil price scenarios. GeoPark also continues to add new oil hedges, increasing its price risk protection within the upcoming four quarters.

The Group maintained a cash position of US$ 66,013,000 as of June 30, 2024, after the repurchase of own shares in April 2024 (see Note 13), the advance payment for the business transaction in Argentina in May 2024 (see Notes 12 and 20) and the final payments for the 2023 income tax in Colombia in May and June 2024. In addition, GeoPark has access to up to US$ 300,000,000 of committed funding from Vitol, a US$ 80,000,000 senior unsecured credit agreement with Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior S.A., and US$ 176,900,000 in uncommitted credit lines.

The following chart illustrates the main companies of the Group structure as of June 30, 2024:

Note 2

Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Committee. This committee is integrated by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technical Officer, Chief Exploration Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Strategy, Sustainability and Legal Officer and Chief People Officer. This committee reviews the Group’s internal reporting to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The committee considers the business from a geographic perspective.

The Executive Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit (loss) for the period (determined as if IFRS 16 Leases has not been adopted), before net finance cost, income tax, depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration efforts, accrual of share-based payment, unrealized result on commodity risk management contracts, geological and geophysical expenses allocated to capitalized projects, and other non-recurring events. Other information provided to the Executive Committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 4

Commodity risk management contracts

The Group has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to oil price risk. These derivatives are zero-premium collars and were placed with major financial institutions and commodity traders. The Group entered into the derivatives under ISDA Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes, which provide credit lines for collateral posting thus alleviating possible liquidity needs under the instruments and protect the Group from potential non-performance risk by its counterparties.

The Group’s derivatives are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair values of these derivative contracts are recognized in Other Reserve within Equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized immediately as gains or losses in the results of the periods in which they occur. The amount accumulated in Other Reserves is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss as part of the Revenue line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

The following table summarizes the Group’s production hedged during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and for the following periods as a consequence of the derivative contracts in force as of June 30, 2024:

(a)Royalties and economic rights in Colombia are payable to the Colombian National Hydrocarbons Agency (“ANH”) and are determined on a field-by-field basis depending on different variables such as crude quality and price levels, among others. During 2023 and 2024, the mix of royalties and economic rights paid “in-kind” increased as compared to royalties and economic rights paid ‘in-cash”. These changes caused variations in the ‘royalties in cash’ and ‘economic rights in cash’ line items from period to period, which are compensated by variations in the quantities of oil sales impacting the ‘Revenue’ line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

(b)Consumables include energy costs of US$ 5,450,000 and US$ 5,741,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and US$ 12,661,000 and US$ 10,732,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs were driven by a drought that affected the energy matrix in Colombia as a result of decreased availability of hydroelectric power.

The effective tax rate was 71% and 33% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 66% and 47% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the statutory income tax rate in Colombia was 35%, though a tax surcharge is also applicable, impacting companies engaged in the extraction of crude oil like GeoPark. The tax surcharge varies from zero to 15%, depending on different Brent oil prices. The Group currently estimates a tax surcharge of 15% for 2024, and therefore, the applicable statutory income tax rate in Colombia for 2024 would be 50%.

The Group’s consolidated effective tax rate of 71% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, which is higher than the statutory income tax rate in Colombia as noted above, is mainly driven by the effect of fluctuations of the Colombian peso on deferred income taxes (the Colombian peso devalued by 8%, representing an approximately 15% increase in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024).

Note 13 (Continued)

Equity (Continued)

Repurchase of shares

On November 8, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the renewal of the recurring program to repurchase up to 10% of its shares outstanding or approximately 5,611,797 shares until December 31, 2024. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, no common shares were repurchased under this program.

On March 20, 2024, GeoPark announced a tender offer to purchase up to US$ 50,000,000 of its common shares. Consequently, on April 22, 2024, the Company acquired 4,369,181 of its common shares at a purchase price of US$ 10 per share, for a total cost of US$ 43,691,810, excluding fees and other expenses related to the tender offer.

Other reserves

GeoPark applies hedge accounting for the derivative financial instruments entered to manage its exposure to oil price risk. Consequently, the Group’s derivatives are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and, therefore, the effective portion of changes in the fair values of these derivative contracts and the income tax relating to those results are recognized in Other Reserve within Equity. The amount accumulated in Other Reserves is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, a realized loss of US$ 85,000 on commodity risk management contracts was reclassified to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Offtake and prepayment agreement

On May 9, 2024, GeoPark announced the execution of an offtake and prepayment agreement with Vitol, one of the world’s leading energy and commodity companies. The offtake agreement provides for GeoPark to sell and deliver to Vitol a minimum of 20,000 barrels per day of production from the Llanos 34 Block in Colombia, and will start on July 1, 2024, for a minimum of 20 months and up to 36 months.

As part of this transaction, GeoPark obtained immediate access to committed funding from Vitol for up to US$ 300,000,000, with an option to increase by another US$ 200,000,000, in prepaid future oil sales over the period of the offtake agreement.

There were no transfers between Level 2 and 3 during the period. The Group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2024.

Fair values of other financial instruments (unrecognized)

The Group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature.

Borrowings are comprised of fixed rate debt and are measured at their amortized cost. The Group estimates that the fair value of its financial liabilities is approximately 91% of its carrying amount, including interest accrued as of June 30, 2024. Fair value was calculated based on market price for the Notes and is within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
