George Maxwell, Vaalco’s Chief Executive Officer
commented, “We continue to deliver strong quarterly results, both
operationally and financially, that are generating significant
Adjusted EBITDAX and building cash on hand to fund organic growth.
In addition, we remain committed to shareholder returns through our
quarterly dividend policy. Our production, sales and Adjusted
EBITDAX all improved compared to Q2 2024 as we realize the positive
impacts from the highly accretive Côte d’Ivoire acquisition, the
solid results from our Canadian drilling program, and the focus on
optimizing production in Gabon and Egypt.”
“In the third quarter, we announced that the
results of our independent, third-party reserve engineer’s
calculation of proved reserves associated with the Côte d’Ivoire
acquisition as of December 31, 2023 was approximately 30% greater
than our initial disclosure. This strategically complementary and
highly cost-effective acquisition expands our West African focus
area through the addition of a sizeable producing asset that has
significant upside potential and considerable future development
opportunities in Côte d’Ivoire, a well-established and
investment-friendly country. Additionally, the documentation has
been completed on the production sharing contracts for two offshore
Gabon exploration blocks where Vaalco holds a 37.5% working
interest.”
“We are excited about the major projects planned
for 2025 that are expected to deliver a step-change in organic
growth across the portfolio in the coming years. As we work to
finalize the timing of our projects, we will provide more details
in early 2025. We have delivered on our focused strategy over the
past three years and believe we will continue to do so with the
organic growth programs across our diversified portfolio over the
next few years. We remain focused on maximizing value and
generating strong operational cash flow to fund our numerous
organic opportunities moving forward, all while continuing to
return capital to our shareholders through the quarterly dividend
policy.”
Operational Update
Egypt
Vaalco focused on enhancing production in the
first nine months of 2024 through a series of planned workovers, as
well as through interventions using the OGS-10 rig. Vaalco
finalized the K-81 recompletion at the start of the first quarter
which was a carry-over from its 2023 drilling activity. The EA-55
well, drilled in October 2023, was fracked and put online in
January 2024. Three additional workover recompletions were
completed in the third quarter of 2024 with one more in progress.
With the low cost of workovers, the well economics are strongly
positive.
A summary of the Egyptian workover campaign's impact in the
first nine months of 2024 is presented below:

Canada
The 2024 drilling campaign commenced in January
2024 with the drilling of 9-12-30-4W5, which was spud on January
17, 2024. The first well was drilled to a total depth of 22,732
feet. The second well of the program, 10-12-30-4W5, was spud on
February 9, 2024, and drilled to a total depth of 21,736 feet. The
third well in the program, 11-12-30-4W5 was spud on February 23,
2024, and drilled to a total depth of 21,624 feet. The fourth well
on the program 1-18-30-3W5 was spud on March 9, 2024, and drilled
to a total depth of 20,669 feet. The drilling rig was released on
March 24, 2024.
Completion of the wells began in late March and

Gabon
Vaalco is currently finalizing locations and
planning for the next drilling campaign at Etame that is expected
to occur in mid-2025. In October 2022, Vaalco successfully
completed its transition to a Floating Storage and Offloading
vessel (“FSO”) and related field reconfiguration processes. This
project provides a low cost FSO solution that increases the storage
capacity for the Etame block and improved operational performance.
The Company continues to demonstrate operational excellence,
production uptime and enhancement in 2024 to optimize production
until the next drilling campaign.
The Company recently completed the documentation
with the Government of Gabon for the offshore Niosi Marin and
Guduma Marin exploration blocks. This follows the technical
provisional award announced in October 2021 granting Vaalco a 37.5%
non-operating working interest in the Niosi Marin Block (previously
G12-13) and the Guduma Marin Block (previously H12-13) located in
shallow waters offshore Gabon, with BW Energy as operator (also
holding a 37.5% working interest) and Panoro Energy as a
non-operating joint owner with a 25% working interest. The Niosi
and Guduma blocks cover areas of 2,974 square kilometers (“km²) and
1,927 km², respectively. The Niosi Block is located adjacent to the
Etame Marin Permit, where Vaalco operates a successful ongoing
exploration and production campaign. To date, the Etame Marin
partners have produced and discovered over 150 million barrels of
oil, with multiple fields brought online. The area benefits from
significant infrastructure investments, including processing
facilities and a new FSO vessel installed by Vaalco in 2022 which
is located adjacent to the Niosi Marin blocks. The blocks are also
adjacent to BW Energy and Panoro Energy’s Dussafu PSC offshore
Southern Gabon, which is another area of significant successful
exploration and development.
Côte d'Ivoire
During the third quarter, three liftings took
place. In July, 612,773 gross barrels were lifted or 197,457 net
barrels to Vaalco. In August, 681,584 gross barrels were lifted or
219,630 net barrels to Vaalco. And in September, 667,871 gross
barrels were lifted or 215,211 net barrels to Vaalco.
Work with Modec, the operator of the Baobab
Floating Production and Offloading Vessel (“FPSO”), on the dry
docking project for the FPSO, projected to be offline in 2025,
continued in the third quarter of 2024. The operator is currently
preparing detailed project timetable and costings for the partners
and regulator; however preliminary work including the execution of
a letter of intent with Modec on April 4, 2024 which covers the key
contracts to be executed, including vessel purchase, EPC, and
O&M amendments, as well as selection of the disconnect and
reconnect contractor, and support for the revised yard bid from
Dubai dry docks among other activities.
Financial Update –
Third Quarter of 2024
Vaalco reported net income of $11.0 million
($0.10 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2024 which was
down compared with net income of $28.2 million ($0.27 per diluted
share) in the second quarter of 2024 and up compared to $6.1
million ($0.06 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2023. The
decrease in earnings compared with the second quarter of 2024 is
driven primarily by the non-cash bargain purchase gain on the
Svenska acquisition in the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDAX totaled $92.8 million in the
third quarter of 2024, a 28% increase from $72.5 million in the
second quarter of 2024 and up 30% from $71.4 million generated in
the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to
additional sales volumes from Côte d'Ivoire.

Total production expense (excluding offshore
workovers and stock compensation) of $42.2 million in Q3 2024 was a
19% decrease compared to Q2 2024 and a 6% increase compared to the
same period in 2023. The decrease in Q3 2024 was primarily driven
by a non-cash purchase price adjustment for the Svenska acquisition
flowing through production expense and decreased operating
expenditure associated with the addition of Côte d'Ivoire in the
quarter. Vaalco has seen withholding tax, inflationary and industry
supply chain pressure on personnel and contractor costs.
Q3 2024 and Q2 2024 had minimal offshore
workover expense, while Q3 2023 had no workover expense.
Q3 2024 production expense per BOE, excluding
offshore workover expense, decreased to $19.80 per BOE which was
lower than Q3 2023 and Q2 2024 primarily due to the increased sales
associated with the purchase of the Côte d'Ivoire asset.
DD&A expense for Q3 2024 was $47.0 million
which was higher than $33.1 million in Q2 2024 and higher than
$32.5 million in Q3 2023. The increase in Q3 2024 DD&A expense
compared to Q2 2024 is due primarily to increased depletion
associated with the addition of Côte d'Ivoire. The increase in Q3
2024 DD&A expense compared to Q3 2023 is due to higher
depletable costs in Côte d'Ivoire partially offset by lower
depletable costs in Gabon, Egypt, and Canada.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense,
excluding stock-based compensation, decreased to $6.0 million in Q3
2024 from $6.6 million in Q2 2024 and increased from $5.2 million
in Q3 2023. The decrease in G&A expenses compared to Q2 2024
was primarily due to lower professional, accounting and legal fees.
The increase in G&A expenses compared to Q3 2023 was primarily
due to higher professional service fees, salaries and wages, and
accounting and legal fees due to growth associated with the
acquisition. Q3 2024 cash G&A was within the Company’s
guidance.
Non-cash stock-based compensation expense was
$0.9 million for Q3 2024 compared to $1.0 million for Q3 2023.
Non-cash stock-based compensation expense for Q2 2024 was $0.9
million.
Other income (expense), net, was an expense of
$0.1 million for Q3 2024, compared to other income of $0.2 million
during Q3 2023 and an expense of $2.0 million for Q2 2024. Other
income (expense), net, normally consists of foreign currency
losses. Also included in Q3 2024 amount are $0.3 million in
transaction costs related to the Svenska acquisition.
Foreign income taxes for Gabon are settled by
the government taking oil in-kind. Q3 2024 income tax expense was
an expense of $32.6 million and is comprised of current tax expense
of $33.7 million and deferred tax benefit of $1.1 million. Current
quarter tax was impacted by non-deductible items (such as the
Svenska transaction costs) and the change in market value of tax
barrels due to Gabon State mark-to-market at quarter end. Q2 2024
income tax expense was an expense of $9.3 million and is comprised
of current tax expense of $13.3 million and deferred tax benefit of
$4.0 million. Q3 2023 income tax expense was an expense of $25.8
million, comprised of $26.8 million of current tax expense and a
deferred tax benefit of $1.0 million. For all periods, Vaalco’s
overall effective tax rate was impacted by non-deductible items
associated with tax rates in foreign jurisdictions higher than the
US statutory rate and by non-deductible items associated with
operations.

Financial Update –
First Nine Months of
2024
WI Sales for the first nine months of 2024
increased to 6,709 MBOE compared to 6,594 MBOE in the first nine
months of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by the Côte
d'Ivoire acquisition. Crude oil sales are a function of the number
and size of crude oil liftings in each quarter and do not always
coincide with volumes produced in any given period.
The average realized crude oil price for the first nine months
of 2024 was $65.99 per barrel, representing an increase of 6.0%
from $62.48 realized in the first nine months of 2023. This
increase in crude oil price reflects the increase in commodity
pricing over the past year.
The Company reported net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024 of $46.8 million, which compares to
$16.4 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the
same period in 2023 was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain
related to the Svenska acquisition in April, as well as higher
sales and realized pricing.

Capital Investments/Balance Sheet
For the third quarter of 2024, net capital
expenditures totaled $12.4 million on a cash basis and $26.6
million on an accrual basis. These expenditures were primarily
related to costs associated with the development drilling programs
in Egypt and Canada, as well as maintenance, project costs and long
lead items for Gabon and Côte d'Ivoire.
At the end of the third quarter of 2024, Vaalco
had an unrestricted cash balance of $89.1 million. Working capital
at September 30, 2024 was $60.6 million compared with $100.7
million at December 31, 2023, while Adjusted Working Capital at
September 30, 2024 totaled $73.4 million.
In Egypt, the Company received written
confirmation from EGPC that $51.7 million was recognized in their
June Accounts Payable as owed to Company for its Merged Concession
effective date adjustment, from which they will offset $11.2
million to satisfy any obligation of Vaalco or its subsidiaries in
connection with the TransGlobe combination. The Company invoiced
EGPC for the final receivable amount in June 2024.

Forward Looking StatementsThis
press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the
safe harbors created by those laws and other applicable laws and
“forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities laws. Where a forward-looking statement
expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events
or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith
and believed to have a reasonable basis. All statements other than
statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements.
The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,”
“forecast,” “outlook,” “aim,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “should,”
“may,” “likely,” “plan” and “probably” or similar words may
identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words
does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are
not limited to, statements relating to (i) estimates of future
drilling, production, sales and costs of acquiring crude oil,
natural gas and natural gas liquids; (ii) expectations regarding
VAALCO's ability to effectively integrate assets and properties it
has acquired as a result of the Svenska acquisition into its
operations; (iii) expectations regarding future exploration and the
development, growth and potential of VAALCO’s operations, project
pipeline and investments, and schedule and anticipated benefits to
be derived therefrom; (iv) expectations regarding future
acquisitions, investments or divestitures; (v) expectations of
future dividends; (vi) expectations of future balance sheet
strength; and (vii) expectations of future equity and enterprise
value. Any forward-looking statement made by Vaalco in this
press release is based only on information currently available to
Vaalco and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except
as may be required by applicable securities laws, Vaalco undertakes
no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to
risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual
results to differ materially from future results expressed,
projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks relating
to any unforeseen liabilities of VAALCO; the ability to generate
cash flows that, along with cash on hand, will be sufficient to
support operations and cash requirements; risks relating to the
timing and costs of completion for scheduled maintenance of the
FPSO servicing the Baobab field; and the risks described under the
caption “Risk Factors” in VAALCO’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024 and subsequent Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
Dividends beyond the fourth quarter of 2024
have not yet been approved or declared by the Board of Directors
for VAALCO. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains
at the discretion of the Board and will be determined based on
VAALCO’s financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and
liquidity requirements, future prospects, crude oil and natural gas
prices, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. The Board
reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of
dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared
and paid on VAALCO common stock, the Board may revise or terminate
the payment level at any time without prior notice.
Any forward-looking statement made by Vaalco in
this press release is based only on information currently available
to Vaalco and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Vaalco
undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to
time, whether as a result of new information, future developments
or otherwise.
WI CPR Reserves
WI CPR reserves represent proved (1P) and proved
plus probable (2P) estimates as reported by Petroleum Development
Consultants Limited and prepared in accordance with the definitions
and guidelines set forth in the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management
Systems approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The SEC
definitions of proved and probable reserves are different from the
definitions contained in the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management
Systems approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. As a
result, 1P and 2P WI CPR reserves may not be comparable to United
States standards. The SEC requires United States oil and gas
reporting companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose
only proved reserves after the deduction of royalties and
production due to others but permits the optional disclosure of
probable and possible reserves in accordance with SEC
definitions.
1P and 2P WI CPR reserves, as disclosed herein,
may differ from the SEC definitions of proved and probable reserves
because:
- Pricing for SEC is
the average closing price on the first trading day of each month
for the prior year which is then held flat in the future, while the
1P and 2P WI CPR pricing assumption was $79.79 per barrel of oil
beginning in 2024, $69.79 in 2025, and inflating 2%
thereafter;
- Lease operating expenses are
typically not escalated under the SEC’s rules, while for the WI CPR
reserves estimates, they are escalated at 2% annually beginning in
2024.
Management uses 1P and 2P WI CPR reserves as a
measurement of operating performance because it assists management
in strategic planning, budgeting and economic evaluations and in
comparing the operating performance of Svenska to other companies.
Management believes that the presentation of 1P and 2P WI CPR
reserves is useful to its international investors, particularly
those that invest in companies trading on the London Stock
Exchange, in order to better compare reserve information to other
London Stock Exchange-traded companies that report similar
measures. However, 1P and 2P WI CPR reserves should not be used as
a substitute for proved reserves calculated in accordance with the
definitions prescribed by the SEC. In evaluating VAALCO’s business,
investors should rely on VAALCO’s SEC proved reserves and consider
1P and 2P WI CPR reserves only supplementally.
Other Oil and Gas
Advisories
Investors are cautioned when viewing BOEs in
isolation. The Svenska reserves estimates as of October 1, 2023
were calculated using a BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic
feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 MCF: 1 Bbl).
The Svenska reserves estimates as of December 31, 2023 were
calculated using a BOE conversion ratio of five thousand eight
hundred cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent
(5.8 MCF: 1 Bbl). BOE conversion ratio is based on an energy
equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner
tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil
as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the
energy equivalencies described above, utilizing such equivalencies
may be incomplete as an indication of value.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management uses Adjusted Net Income to evaluate operating and
financial performance and believes the measure is useful to
investors because it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash
and/or other items that management does not consider to be
indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period.
Management also believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to
investors to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating and
financial performance across periods, as well as facilitating
comparisons to others in the Company’s industry. Adjusted Net
Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein
represents net income, deferred income tax expense (benefit),
unrealized commodity derivative loss (gain), bargain purchase gain
on the Svenska Acquisition, FPSO demobilization, transaction costs
related to the Svenska acquisition and non-cash and other
items.
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure
used by VAALCO’s management and by external users of the Company’s
financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders, rating
agencies, investors and others who follow the industry, as an
indicator of the Company’s ability to internally fund exploration
and development activities and to service or incur additional debt.
Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein
represents net income, interest expense (income) net, income tax
expense (benefit), depletion, depreciation and amortization,
exploration expense, FPSO demobilization, non-cash and other items
including stock compensation expense, Bargain purchase gain on the
Svenska Acquisition, other operating (income) expense, net,
non-cash purchase price adjustment, transaction costs related to
acquisition, credit losses and other and unrealized commodity
derivative loss (gain).
Management uses Adjusted Working Capital as a transition tool to
assess the working capital position of the Company’s continuing
operations excluding leasing obligations because it eliminates the
impact of discontinued operations as well as the impact of lease
liabilities. Under the lease accounting standards, lease
liabilities related to assets used in joint operations include both
the Company’s share of expenditures as well as the share of lease
expenditures which its non-operator joint venture owners’ will be
obligated to pay under joint operating agreements. Adjusted Working
Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein
represents working capital excluding working capital attributable
to discontinued operations and current liabilities associated with
lease obligations.
Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate financial performance
and to determine the total amount of cash over a specified period
available to be used in connection with returning cash to
shareholders, and believes the measure is useful to investors
because it provides the total amount of net cash available for
returning cash to shareholders by adding cash generated from
operating activities, subtracting amounts used in financing and
investing activities, effects of exchange rate changes on cash and
adding back amounts used for dividend payments and stock
repurchases. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and as
used herein represents net change in cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash and adds the amounts paid under dividend
distributions and share repurchases over a specified period.
Free Cash Flow has significant limitations, including that it
does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary
purposes and should not be used as a substitute for cash flow
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow should
not be considered as a substitute for cashflows from operating
activities before discontinued operations or any other liquidity
measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow may vary
among other companies. Therefore, the Company’s Free Cash Flow may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income have significant
limitations, including that they do not reflect the Company’s cash
requirements for capital expenditures, contractual commitments,
working capital or debt service. Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net
Income, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow should not be
considered as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income
(loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure
of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income exclude some, but
not all, items that affect net income (loss) and operating income
(loss), and the calculation of these measures may vary among other
companies. Therefore, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net
Income, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
The tables below reconcile the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted
EBITDAX, Adjusted Working Capital and Free Cash Flow.
