BROG Brooge Energy Ltd

Brooge Energy Ltd, (“Brooge Energy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BROG), a Cayman Islands-based infrastructure provider, which is currently engaged in clean petroleum products and biofuels and crude oil storage and related services, announced today its financial results for the first six months ending June 30, 2023. Management will host a conference call on Monday, October 9, 2023 at 10 a.m. ET and requests that all questions be submitted to BROG@KCSA.com by Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 8 p.m. ET.

“Demand for oil storage remains very strong given the current global economic environment and we are benefiting not only from our strategic location, but also from our high-quality infrastructure and automated technology. For the first half of 2023, we are pleased to report revenue growth of 122% when compared to the previous year’s period. Our business benefited from higher fixed storage rates resulting in a net profit of USD 37.4 million or USD 0.42 per basic and diluted share, which is 8.6 times higher than the previous corresponding period. These positive results have been achieved while maintaining our exceptional health, safety and environment record, an achievement the Company is very proud of," said Paul Ditchburn, Chief Financial Officer and Chair to the Office of the Chief Executive Officer of Brooge Energy.

Financial Results for the First Six Months Ending June 30, 2023 Gross profit for the first six months of 2023 totaled USD 51.8 million, an increase of 191%, as compared to USD 17.8 million for the first six months of 2022. Gross profit margin improved to 82% for the first six months of 2023 as compared to 63% for the first six months of 2022.

This gross profit increase was mainly attributable to revenue growth, which was driven by obtaining higher storage rates. Revenue for the first six months ending June 30, 2023 totaled USD 62.9 million as compared to USD 28.4 million for the first six months ending June 30, 2022, an increase of 122% over the previous corresponding period. Revenue primarily consists of fixed storage and handling fees, and to a less extent variable fees for ancillary services provided under a contract with its customers. Brooge Energy provided storage capacity of 1,001,388 cbm and related services to numerous oil traders and producers.

For the first six months ending June 30, 2023 the Company reported net profit for the period of USD 37.4 million or USD 0.42 per basic and diluted share as compared to USD 3.9 million or USD 0.04 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the first six months ending June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of USD 3.7 million and a restricted bank balance of USD 15.7 million. Total equity attributable to the shareholders totaled USD 142.5 million as of June 30, 2023 as compared to USD 105.1 million as of December 31, 2022.
