General information

This condensed consolidated interim financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 5 November 2018.

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial report of GeoPark Limited is presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. It does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in the most recent annual financial statements , except for the changes explained in Note 15.

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.

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 CEO, COO, CFO and managers in charge of the Geoscience, Operations, Corporate Governance, Finance and People departments. This committee reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order 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 for the period 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 and other non recurring events. Operating Netback is equivalent to Adjusted EBITDA before cash expenses included in Administrative, Geological and Geophysical and Other operating expenses. Other information provided to the Executive Committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements.

Commodity risk management contracts

 

The Group entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to oil price risk. These derivatives are zero-premium 3 ways (put spread plus call), 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 accounted for as non-hedge derivatives as of 30 September 2018 and therefore all changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts are recognized as gains or losses in the results of the periods in which they occur.

 

The following table presents the Group’s derivative contracts in force as of 30 September 2018:

Borrowings (Continued)

 

(a) During September 2017, the Company successfully placed US$ 425,000,000 notes which were offered to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the United States Securities Act.

 

The Notes carry a coupon of 6.50% per annum. Final maturity of the notes will be 21 September 2024. The Notes are secured with a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company, directly or indirectly, in GeoPark Colombia Coöperatie U.A. and GeoPark Chile S.A.. The debt issuance cost for this transaction amounted to US$ 6,683,000 (debt issuance effective rate: 6.90%). The indenture governing the Notes due 2024 includes incurrence test covenants that provides among other things, that, during the first two years from the issuance date, the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not exceed 3.5 times and the Adjusted EBITDA to Interest ratio should exceed 2 times. Failure to comply with the incurrence test covenants does not trigger an event of default. However, this situation may limit the Company’s capacity to incur additional indebtedness, as specified in the indenture governing the Notes. Incurrence covenants as opposed to maintenance covenants must be tested by the Company before incurring additional debt or performing certain corporate actions including but not limited to dividend payments, restricted payments and others. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is in compliance of all the indenture’s provisions and covenants.

 

(b) During February 2016, GeoPark Fell S.p.A. executed a loan agreement with Banco de Crédito e Inversiones for US$ 186,000 to finance the acquisition of vehicles for the Chilean operation. The interest rate applicable to this loan is 4.14% per annum. The interest and the principal are paid on a monthly basis, with final maturity on February 2019.

 

(c) During September 2018, GeoPark Latin America Limited - Agencia en Chile executed a short-term loan agreement with Banco Itau for US$ 15,000,000. The interest rate applicable to this loan is 3.59% per annum. The interest and the principal will be paid on November 2018.

 

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has available credit lines for over US$ 58,000,000.

Note 15

 

Changes in accounting policies

 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue form Contracts with Customers on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

 

(a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 related to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

 

The adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and a reclassification of measurement category, but no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 15 (Continued)

 

Changes in accounting policies (Continued)

 

On 1 January 2018, the Group classified money market funds for US$ 44,123,000 accounted within Cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December 2017, as Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that were previously classified as Loans and receivables. No results were generated as a consequence of this change. As of 30 September 2018, the Group holds money market funds for US$ 55,000,000.

 

From 1 January 2018, the Group applies the following accounting policy in relation to its financial assets.

 

Financial assets are divided into the following categories: amortised cost; financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

 

All financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, if any, are expensed to profit or loss.

 

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken at each balance sheet date.

 

Interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income when receivable, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured.

 

Amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. These financial assets comprise trade receivables, prepayments and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment, if applicable.

 

Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income. All of the Group’s financial assets are classified as amortised cost.

 

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

 

(b) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018, which resulted in no changes in accounting policies or adjustments to the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

 

Accounting policies for financial instruments have been applied to classify as either: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit and loss. For financial instruments that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value, IFRS 13 requires a disclosure of fair value measurements by level according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

 

Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

 

This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.

 

(a) Fair value hierarchy

 

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 September 2018 and 31 December 2017 on a recurring basis:

 

Amounts in US$ '000  Level 1 Level 2 At 30 September 2018
Assets      
Cash and cash equivalents      
Money market funds 55,000 - 55,000
Total Assets 55,000 - 55,000
Liabilities      
Derivative financial instrument liabilities      
Commodity risk management contracts - 6,601 6,601
Total Liabilities - 6,601 6,601

Amounts in US$ '000   Level 1 Level 2

Year ended

31 December 2017

Liabilities      
Derivative financial instrument liabilities      
Commodity risk management contracts - 19,289 19,289
Total Liabilities - 19,289 19,289
 

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 at 30 September 2018.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments (Continued)

 

(b) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

 

· The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

 

· The market-to-market fair value of the Group’s outstanding derivative instruments is based on independently provided market rates and determined using standard valuation techniques, including the impact of counterparty credit risk and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

· The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2.

 

(c) Fair values of other financial instruments (unrecognised)

 

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 primarily of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt with a short term portion where interest has already been fixed. They are classified under other financial liabilities and measured at their amortized cost. The Group estimates that the fair value of its main financial liabilities is approximately 99.9% of its carrying amount including interests accrued as of 30 September 2018. Fair values were calculated using discounted cash flow analysis.

Brazil (Continued)

 

The ANP also extended the second exploratory period in the POT-T-619 Block until 16 September 2020. The Group has already fulfill its commitments in the block.

 

GeoPark was awarded one exploratory block, POT-T-785, in the Potiguar Basin. The assumed commitment is equivalent to reprocessing 3D seismic and acquiring an electromagnetic survey for a total amount of approximately US$ 100,000 at GeoPark’s working interest, during the first exploratory period ending 29 January 2023.

 

Colombia

 

GeoPark has fulfilled the commitments that were remaining as of 31 December 2017 in the Llanos 34 and Llanos 32 Blocks. In addition to that, the Llanos 34 Block (45% working interest) has committed to drill an additional exploratory well, which amounts to US$ 1,935,000 at GeoPark’s working interest, before 19 September 2019.

 

On 12 September 2018, the ANH accepted the Group’s proposal to extend the first exploratory phase in the VIM 3 Block for an additional period ending 12 May 2019.

Business transactions

 

Argentina - Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks

 

On 27 March 2018, GeoPark acquired a 100% working interest and operatorship of the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks, which are located in the Neuquen Basin, for a total consideration of US$ 52,000,000, less working capital adjustment of US$ 3,150,000.

 

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based primarily upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. An income approach (being the net present value of expected future cash flows) was adopted to determine the fair values of the mineral interest. Estimates of expected future cash flows reflect estimates of projected future revenues, production costs and capital expenditures based on our business model. The excess of acquisition cost, if any, over the net identifiable assets acquired represents goodwill.

 

The purchase price allocation performed is preliminary, since the valuation process is ongoing. This process will be completed during 2018.

Argentina - Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks (Continued)

 

The following table summarises the combined consideration paid for the acquired blocks, the preliminary allocation of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these transactions:

 

Amounts in US$ '000 Total
Cash (a) 48,850
Total consideration 48,850
Property, plant and equipment (including mineral interest) 54,657
Inventories 3,282
Provision for other long-term liabilities (9,089)
Total identifiable net assets 48,850
 
(a) On December 2017, GeoPark granted a security deposit of US$ 15,600,000. On March 2018, the Group completed the total consideration with an additional payment of US$ 36,400,000. On September 2018, GeoPark collected a working capital adjustment of US$ 3,150,000.

 

In accordance with disclosure requirements for business combinations, the Group has calculated its revenue and profit, considering as if the mentioned acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. The following table summarises both results:

 

Amounts in US$ '000 Nine-months period ended 30 September 2018
Revenue 461,234
Profit for the period 60,124
 

The revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income since acquisition date contributed by the acquired business is US$ 25,203,000. The acquired business has also contributed profit of US$ 1,062,000 over the same period.

 

As a consequence of this transaction, the Group considers that there is sufficient evidence of future taxable profits to offset tax losses and recognise a deferred tax asset for US$ 1,346,000 in respect of tax losses from previous years which can be utilised against future taxable profit.

 

Argentina - Los Parlamentos block

 

On June 2018, GeoPark acquired a 50% working interest in the Los Parlamentos exploratory block in partnership with YPF S.A. (YPF), the largest oil and gas producer in Argentina. In accordance with the partnership agreement, YPF assumed the operationship of the block and GeoPark assumed a commitment to fund its 50% working interest of one exploration well and additional 3D seismic, which amounts to US$ 6,000,000 at GeoPark’s working interest, over the next three years.

Subsequent events

 

Borrowings

 

During October 2018, GeoPark Brazil Exploração y Produção de Petróleo e Gás Ltda. executed a loan agreement with Banco Santander for Brazilian Real 77,640,000 (equivalent to US$ 20,000,000 at the moment of the loan execution) to repay an existing US$-denominated intercompany loan to GeoPark Latin America Limited - Agencia en Chile. The interest rate applicable to this loan is CDI plus 2.25% per annum. “CDI” (Interbank certificate of deposit) represents the average rate of all inter-bank overnight transactions in Brazil. The principal and the interest are paid semi-annually, with final maturity on October 2020. Resulting from this transaction, the Brazilian subsidiary has significantly reduced its exposure to foreign currency fluctuation (foreign exchange loss in Brazil of US$ 1,597,000 and US$ 10,605,000 during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively), considering that its functional currency is the Brazilian Real.

 

Business transactions

 

On 2 November 2018, GeoPark executed a purchase and sale agreement to sell its 100% working interest in the La Cuerva and Yamu Blocks, in Colombia. The total consideration is US$ 18,000,000, plus a contingent payment of US$ 2,000,000 (depending on oil price performance) and subject to working capital adjustments. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals, which are expected to occur during 2019.
