Energean plc
("Energean" or the "Company")
2022 Full Year Results
London, 23 March 2023 - Energean plc (LSE: ENOG, TASE: ) is
pleased to announce its audited full-year results for the year
ended 31 December 2022 (" FY 2022 ").
Mathios Rigas, Chief Executive of Energean, commented:
" 2022 was a year of transformation for Energean - where a
long-held vision became an operational reality. It was a year of
positive delivery. We commenced production from the only FPSO in
the strategically vital Eastern Mediterranean region, paid
dividends to our shareholders, and laid the foundation for our
future growth through the discovery and de-risking of new natural
gas resources adjacent to our infrastructure. Energean was the sole
owner-operator of five deepwater wells, which drove a 20% increase
in our reserve base, and marked the 15(th) consecutive year of
reserve and resource base increases for Energean. We are proud to
be on track to deliver between 4.5 and 5.5 bcm of gas into the
Israeli domestic gas market this year, contributing towards the
security of energy supply of the region and improving the living
conditions of the Israeli public through the reduction of emissions
from the displacement of coal-fired power generation.
"The first quarter of 2023 has continued the positive trend.
Production from Karish is in line with our expectations, and in
February we supplied the first Israeli hydrocarbon liquids export
cargo to international markets. In Egypt, we achieved first gas at
NEA/NI with three further wells due to come onstream during the
year. In Italy, we are the third largest producer of natural gas
and look forward to increasing our contribution towards the
country's energy supply. And in Greece, we are continuing our
efforts to explore the untapped resources of the country.
"The remainder of 2023 will see us present the development
concept for the Olympus Area, offshore Israel, and increase the
capacity of the Energean Power FPSO to 8 bcm/yr. This is alongside
delivery of production in line with guidance plus on-target
returns, as promised, to our shareholder base. Through our gas
contracting strategy we are in a unique position to have a very
predictable and stable cashflow despite turbulence and challenges
in the international financial markets.
"We are committed to investing in projects where we can create
value for all stakeholders. The global energy crisis is not over -
the global gas market remains dangerously tight and benefitted from
a mild European winter, but thousands of industrial jobs are now at
risk not just to price but also to availability. We therefore hope
that governments understand the value of enhanced domestic and
regional energy production, that can only be delivered through
long-term investment."
Highlights
-- Delivered first gas from Karish in October 2022
o Production and ramp up in line with expectations
o Energean is now sequentially notifying gas buyers that the
commissioning period under the gas sales and purchase agreements
("GSPAs") has ended and the start date for commercial obligations
has commenced. The Company expects to have completed this process
for all gas buyers by the end of March 2023
-- Initiated hydrocarbon liquid exports from Karish field to international markets
-- Delivered first production from NEA/NI, Egypt, in March 2023
-- On track to deliver 200 kboed production target in 2H 2024
-- Confirmed year-end 2P reserves of 1,161 mmboe (+20% increase
versus end-2021) representing a reserve replacement ratio of
1400%
o Including the addition of 31 bcm (approximately 206 mmboe) of
2P reserves in the Olympus Area, offshore Israel, that have now
been certified by Energean's reserves auditor, Degolyer and
McNaughton ("D&M")
-- Delivered strong financial performance, underpinned by strong commodity prices
o 2022 revenues of $737.1 million, represented a 48.3% increase
(2021: $497.0 million)
o 2022 EBITDAX of $421.6 million, represented a 98.8% increase
(2021: $212.1 million)
o 2022 profit-after-tax of $17.3 million was an improvement on
last year's loss (2021: $(96.2) million). Profit after tax was
negatively impacted by $119.4 million of windfall taxes in Italy
[1] , which we expect have been applied on a one-off basis
o Group cash as of 31 December 2022 was $502.7 million
(including restricted amounts of $74.8 million) and total liquidity
was $720.0 million. In March 2023, Energean signed a $350 million
term loan which, although expected to remain undrawn, provides
additional financial flexibility
-- Announced dividend strategy and initiated dividend payments
o Cumulative dividends paid of 60 US$ cents with a further 30
US$ cents declared and will be paid on 30 March 2023, representing
an annualised yield of approximately 9% [2] .
-- Carbon Disclosure Project ("CDP") rating increased to A-
(from B), outperforming the global average for E&Ps of C
Outlook
-- 2023 production guidance confirmed at 131 - 158 kboed,
including 4.5 - 5.5 bcm of gas from Karish
-- Mid-term targets now considered near-term: on track to
achieve production, financial targets and leverage targets in 2H
2024 [3] through execution of key development projects
o Karish growth projects to increase the capacity of the
Energean Power FPSO are on track for year-end 2023, following which
Israel production is expected to be 140 - 155 kboed on plateau
o Three additional wells to be brought onstream at NEA/NI by
year-end 2023, following which production in Egypt is expected to
be more than 40 kboed
o Cassiopea expected to deliver first gas in 2024, following
which production in Italy is expected to be approximately 20
kboed
-- Communication of development concept for the Olympus Area expected in the coming months
-- Orion-1X well, Egypt, (Energean 30%, expected to farm down to
18%) expected to spud in late 2023, slightly delayed due to rig
availability
-- Declaration of quarterly dividends in line with previously communicated policy
o $50 million per quarter initially, rising to $100 million per
quarter following achievement of near-term targets
o Cumulative dividends of at least $1 billion by end-2025
o Post-2025 target to maintain a progressive dividend policy,
underpinned by existing reserve volumes

Operational Review
Production and Reserves
Full year 2022 working interest 2P reserves were 1,161 mmboe, a
20% increase versus 2021 (965 mmboe) and representing a reserve
replacement ratio of 1400%. The year-on-year changes are due mainly
to:
-- Certification of 2P reserves of 31 bcm (approximately 206
mmboe) in the Athena, Zeus and Hera structures in block 12, Olympus
Area, Israel
-- Offset by 15 mmboe of production across the portfolio

Production
In 2022, total production was 41.2 kboed
-- Production excluding Israel was 35.7 kboed, the mid-point of
the guidance range of 34.0 - 37.0 kboed.
-- Israel 2022 production was lower than forecast due to the
project being in the commissioning phase in 2022, as previously
communicated.
2023 is expected to be a critical year for Energean and a key
step towards its near-term goal of 200 kboed, which it expects to
achieve in 2H 2024 (annualised). Energean maintains the guidance
range of 131 - 158 kboed that was communicated in its January
trading update
-- Underlying production (excluding Israel) is expected to
increase by approximately 12% at the mid-point of the guidance
range (2023: 37.0 - 43.0 kboed), benefitting from contribution by
the NEA/NI development, offshore Egypt.
-- Israel gas production is expected to be between 4.5 and 5.5
bcm of sales; year-to-date production has ramped up in line with
expectations.
Further to the progress of commissioning activities on the
Karish Field and the Energean Power FPSO, Energean is now
sequentially notifying gas buyers that the commissioning period
under the GSPAs has ended and the start date for commercial
obligations has commenced. Energean expects to have completed this
process for all gas buyers by the end of March 2023.
-- The first sale of Karish hydrocarbon liquids was completed in
February 2023, and Energean expects Israel to contribute 15 - 18
kboed of hydrocarbon liquids production in 2023, at an estimated
one lifting per month.

Development
Israel - Karish Growth Projects
During 2023, Energean will complete installation of the second
gas export riser and second oil train, whilst also delivering first
production from Karish North. Combined, these projects will
increase the total capacity of the FPSO to a maximum of 8
bcm/yr.
-- The second export riser and the Karish North flowline were
transported from the UK to Israel in March 2023. The riser will be
installed shortly and will connect the production facilities on the
FPSO to the pipeline-to-shore.
-- Key upcoming activities ahead of Karish North first gas
include installation of the Karish North manifold, umbilical and
spool, ahead of opening of the well before year-end 2023.
-- Construction of the second oil train is progressing in line
with expectations in Dubai. The oil train will be installed and
commissioned in-situ, and is expected to be ready to process
hydrocarbon liquids by year-end 2023.
Israel - Olympus
D&M has certified 31 bcm (approximately 206 mmboe) of 2P
reserves and 37 bcm (approximately 237 mmboe) of unrisked
prospective resources in the Olympus Area, which is located in
block 12 and the Tanin lease, offshore Israel. The associated
Competent Person's Report ("CPR") will be made available on
Energean's website.
The addition to Energean's development portfolio was a direct
result of its successful 2022 growth drilling campaign. The Zeus
and Athena wells, both in block 12, discovered 25 bcm
(approximately 167 mmboe) of natural gas resources. D&M's
analysis determined that the proximate Hera prospect, was also
sufficiently de-risked to be classified as 2P reserves. Together,
these total 31 bcm of 2P reserves, as mentioned above.
Energean is finalising the development concept for the combined
68 bcm of reserves and de-risked prospective resources that will
underpin this development. Several development concepts are under
evaluation, and Energean is focused on delivering the optimal
solution to align with its goal of maximising stakeholder
returns.
The CPR provides an indicative profile and economics for one of
these potential options, although readers should note that D&M
includes only the Olympus 2P within the overall profile, whilst the
actual development will also envisage the development of the 37 bcm
of de-risked prospective resources. The production profile in the
CPR envisages the Olympus development being positioned between that
of Karish North and Tanin, with block 12 economics benefitting
compared to those of Tanin owing to its closer proximity to the
FPSO and absence of royalties payable to the original seller of the
Karish and Tanin leases.
Energean is also considering development options to access key
regional export markets and also to further increase the overall
capacity of its infrastructure through the addition of a third gas
processing train.
Egypt
NEA/NI
In January 2021, Energean sanctioned the NEA/NI project, located
in shallow water, offshore Egypt and adjacent to the producing Abu
Qir field. First gas from NEA/NI was successfully delivered in
March 2023 from the NEA#6 well, approximately two years and two
months following final investment decision.
NEA/NI contains an estimated 39 mmboe [5] of 2P reserves (88%
gas) with net working interest production expected to peak at 15 -
20 kboed (88% gas) in 2024. The development leverages existing
infrastructure and involves the subsea tieback of four wells to
Energean's North Abu Qir PIII platform; the first well is now
onstream with the remaining three wells expected onstream during
2023.
Abu Qir drilling programme
Following the completion of the NEA/NI drilling programme,
Energean expects to use the El Qaher-1 rig to drill four production
wells on the Abu Qir licence. First gas from these wells is
expected throughout 2024.
Rest of portfolio
Cassiopea, Italy
First gas from Cassiopea (W.I. 40%) is expected in 2024. Onshore
work is progressing well and offshore installation activities are
expected to begin in Q2 2023. The operator expects to start
drilling activities in the summer 2023, which includes two new
wells and two recompletions.
Epsilon, Greece
First oil from Epsilon continues to be expected in 2024. The
installation of the platform jacket at the field is expected to
take place in Q2 2023.
Exploration and Appraisal
Egypt
North East Hap'y Offshore
Orion X1 well (Energean, 30%), located on the North East Hap'y
block, offshore Egypt, is expected to spud in late 2023, which has
been delayed due to rig availability. Energean expects to farm down
its interest in the licence to 18% ahead of spudding the well.
Rest of Portfolio
The Izabela-9 well (Energean, 70%) located offshore Croatia, is
expected to spud in Q2/Q3 2023.
Energean also expects to participate in two exploration wells
(W.I. 40%), offshore Sicily in Italy, with its partner ENI (60%) in
2024. The low-risk Gemini and Centauro prospects are located close
to the Cassiopea development, for which the infrastructure contains
tie-in points for future discoveries.

Corporate Review
HSE
In 2022, Energean delivered another strong HSE record with zero
serious injuries recorded. The Loss Time Injury Frequency ("LTIF")
Rate of 0.47 (2021: 0.33) and Total Recordable Incident Rate
("TRIR") of 1.18 (2021: 0.77) were lower than their respective
targets of 0.50 and 1.20.
Financing
Energean ended 2022 with total available liquidity of $720
million (2021: approximately $1 billion), including undrawn amounts
of $174 million under the Revolving Credit Facility signed in
September 2022 [6] . Following the signature of the term loan in
March 2023, liquidity has increased to over $1 billion. This
position ensures that the Company is well-funded for its
projects-under-development.
Energean undertook a series of refinancings in 2021, which fixed
nearly all of the Company's exposure to floating rates; Energean's
average cost of debt in 2022 was 5.25% and substantially unimpacted
by the global rise in interest rates. The only facility within
Energean's capital structure that is impacted by global interest
rate rises is the EUR90.5 million Greek facility and therefore the
impact of the rate rises on the overall cost of debt has been
minimal.
In 2024, the first tranche of Energean Israel Finance Limited's
senior secured notes, is set to mature. The note is for an amount
of $625 million and carries a coupon rate of 4.5%. Energean is
currently considering its options to refinance this note, the
preferred option for which is a repeat structure issuance in the
debt capital markets.
Energean remains committed to its near-term target of reducing
leverage, which it defines as net debt / EBITDAX, to below 1.5x.
The company's EBITDAX stream is underpinned by long-term contracts
with floor pricing provisions and take-or-pay and/or exclusivity
provisions, which gives the Board confidence that, in the absence
of additional projects, maintaining gross debt within the business
at or around current levels represents an appropriate capital
structure.
On the 17 March 2023 Energean also signed an unsecured $350
million two year term loan facility, which offers additional
financial flexibility for the Group. The loan is expected to remain
undrawn.
ESG and Climate Change
Energean is committed to net zero emissions by 2050 and
industry-leading disclosure of its energy transition
intentions.
Emissions reduction
Energean maintains a rolling carbon intensity reduction plan and
currently anticipates a reduction in carbon emissions intensity of
7 - 9 kgCO2/boe by 2025, a reduction of more than 85% versus the
base year of 2019, the key driver being the influence of Karish,
which has a very low carbon emissions intensity of 4 - 5 kgCO2/boe.
The Group recorded full-year 2022 emissions intensity of 16.0
kgCO2/boe, a 13% year-on-year reduction, and expects to further
reduce emissions intensity to 7 - 9 kgCO2/boe in 2023.
The Prinos CCS project proposal is to provide long-term storage
for carbon dioxide emissions captured from both local and more
remote emitters, and is proposed to be a scaleable CO2 injection
and storage project leveraging existing onshore and offshore
infrastructure that is fully owned and operated by Energean.
ESG ratings and affirmation
In December 2022, the Carbon Disclosure Project ("CDP") upgraded
its Climate Change rating for Energean to A-, from B in the
previous year, outperforming the global average of E&P peers of
C. Also in 2022, Energean was rated AA by MSCI (for the second year
running), 76 out of 280 for E&Ps by Sustainalytics (top 30%),
platinum by the Maala Index (increased from gold) and awarded the
"Best ESG Energy Growth Strategy Europe 2022" by CFI for a second
year running.
In August 2022, Energean was confirmed as a constituent of the
FTSE4Good Index Series, following the its June 2022 review. The
FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of
companies demonstrating strong ESG practices.
Energean has also continued to comply with the Task Force on
Climate Related Financial Disclosure ("TCFD") recommendations, full
disclosure on which will be provided in the Annual Report and
Accounts.

Revenue, production, and commodity prices
Revenue increased by $240.1 million (2021: $497.0 million) to
$737.1 million primarily a result of higher realised commodity
prices. The Group's realised weighted average pre-hedging oil and
gas price for the year was $81.2/bbl (2021: $57.1/bbl) and
$11.2/mcf (2021:5.2 $/mcf), respectively.
Working interest production averaged 41.2 kboepd in 2022 (2021:
41.0 kboepd), with the Abu Qir gas-condensate field, offshore
Egypt, accounting for over 60% of total output.
Adjusted EBITDAX amounted to $421.6 million (2021: $212.1
million). The increase from 2021 was due to higher revenue
partially offset by slightly higher operating costs from the
enlarged group. Included within revenue is the realised loss on the
PSV (Italian gas price) hedges of $55.2 million, excluding this
lost revenue would result in an adjusted EBITDA of $476.8 million;
which is an increase of $264.7million (124.5%) compared to
2021.
Cash cost of production
Cash production costs for the period were $18.9 /boe (2021:
$17.5/boe). The increase in cash unit production cost was primarily
driven by increased royalties paid (2022: $45.8 million,
2021:$24.8million) and increased energy costs across the group. The
cash production costs excluding royalties are $238.5 million (2021:
$236.8million) and the related cost per boe is $15.9 (2021:
$:15.8)
Depreciation, impairments and write-offs
Depreciation charges before impairment on production and
development assets decreased by 14.6% to $83.3 million (2021: $97.5
million) with the related decrease in the depreciation unit expense
to $5.5/boe (2021: $6.5/boe).
The Group recognised a pre-tax impairment charge of $27.6million
(2021: $0million) in 2022, a result of revisions to decommissioning
estimates on the Group's non-producing assets, in Italy and UK..
The Group performed an impairment assessment at 31 December 2022
and did not identify any cash generating units ("CGU") for which a
reasonably possible change in a key assumption would result in
impairment or impairment reversal, except for the Vega oil field in
Italy. An 8% decrease in Brent prices would eliminate the current
headroom of the Vega CGU.
Management has considered how the Group's identified climate
risks and climate related goals may impact the estimation of the
recoverable amount of cash-generating units and as part of the
impairment assessment has run sensitivity scenarios for the IEA's
2022 WEO climate scenarios (Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS),
Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) and Net-Zero Emissions by 2050
Scenario (NZE)). The Groups CGUs in Italy (Vega) and Greece are the
most sensitive to the impact of the IEA scenarios, which applied,
with no management mitigating actions taken, could result in
impairment.
The anticipated extent and nature of the future impact of
climate on the Group's operations and future investment, and
therefore estimation of recoverable value, is not uniform across
all cash-generating units. There is a range of inherent
uncertainties in the extent that responses to climate change may
impact the recoverable value of the Group's CGUs, with many of
these being outside the Group's control. These include the impact
of future changes in government policies, legislation and
regulation, societal responses to climate change, the future
availability of new technologies and changes in supply and demand
dynamics.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure and new ventures
During the period the Group expensed $71.4 million (2021: $87.7
million) for exploration and new ventures evaluation activities.
This includes impairment costs of $65.7million ($82.1 million) for
projects that will not progress to development, primarily Glengorm;
Energean will exit the Glengorm licence within 2023.
In addition, new ventures evaluation expenditure amounted to
$5.8 million (2021: $5.6 million), mainly related to pre-licence
and time-writing costs.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses
Energean incurred G&A costs of approximately $45.9 million
in 2022 (2021: $43.0 million). Cash SG&A was $36.0 million
(2021: $34.8 million).
Cash G&A excludes certain non-cash accounting items from the
Group's reported G&A. Cash G&A is calculated as follows:
Administrative and Selling and distribution expenses, excluding
depletion and amortisation of assets and share-based payment charge
that are included in G&A.

Net other expenses
Net other expenses of $1.0 million in 2022 (2021: $10.9 million
income) includes restructuring costs ($3.2million), net reversal of
expected credit loss provisions of $7.9 million and other
non-recurring items. In 2021 the amount predominantly related to
$6.8 million of income due to a decrease in estimates of
decommissioning provisions for certain UK producing assets,
representing the amount of the decrease that was in excess of their
book value.
Unrealised loss on derivatives
The Group has recognised unrealised loss on derivative
instruments of $5.2 million (2021: $21.5million) related to the
Cassiopea contingent consideration. A contingent consideration of
up to $100.0 million is payable and determined on the basis of
future Italian gas prices recorded at the time of the commissioning
of the field, which is expected in 2024.
As at 31 December 2022, the two- year Italian gas (PSV) futures
curve indicated higher pricing than that at the date of
acquisition, with a forward price in excess of EUR20/Mwh. As a
result, the fair value of the Contingent Consideration as at 31
December 2022 was estimated to be $86.3 million based on a Monte
Carlo simulation (31 December 2021: $78.5 million).
Net financing costs
Financing costs before capitalisation for the period were $236.7
million (2021: $278.4 million). Finance costs include: $167.4
million of interest expenses incurred on Senior Secured notes
(2021: $107.0 million), $1.5million on debt facilities (2021: $96.7
million), $14.7million of interest expenses relating to long-term
payables (2021:$4.1 million), $37.4million unwinding of discount on
deferred consideration, contingent consideration, convertible loan
notes and decommissioning provisions (2021: $27.8 million); $15.6
million commissions for guarantees and other bank charges of (2021:
$17.8 million). The 2021 finance costs included $18.1million for
unamortised debt issuance costs under the Greek and Egypt RBL,
written off due to repayments prior to their maturity dates.
Net finance costs include foreign exchange losses of $22.2
million (2021: $6.9 million) and finance income of $9.6 million
(2021: $3.0 million), including Interest income from time
deposits.
Taxation
Energean recorded tax charges of $89.7 million in 2022 (2021:
$5.4 million), split between a current year tax expense of $200.1
million (2021: $44.6 million), and a deferred tax credit of $110.4
million (2021: credit $39.2 million) and representing an effective
tax rate of 84% (2021: 6%).
The increase in current tax from 2021 is primarily a result of
the windfall tax in Italy. During 2022, Italy introduced: 1) a
windfall tax in the form of a law decree which imposed a 25%
one-off tax on profit margins that rose by more than $5.26 million
(EUR5.0 million) between October 2021 and April 2022 compared to
the same period a year earlier. The amount of the windfall tax paid
by Energean Italy was $29.3million and 2) in November 2022, Italy
introduced a new windfall tax that imposed a 50% one-off tax,
calculated on 2022 taxable profits that are 10% higher than the
average taxable profits between 2018-2021. This amount has a
ceiling equal to 25% of the value of the net assets at end-2021.
Based on this, Energean would be required to pay an additional
one-off tax of $92.8 million (EUR87.0 million) in June 2023.
Operating cash flow
Cash from operations before tax and movements in working capital
was $311.3million (2021: $131.7 million). After adjusting for tax
and working capital movements, cash from operations was $272.2
million (2021: $132.5 million).
Capital Expenditure
During the year, the Group incurred capital expenditure of
$869.8 million (2021: $407.9 million). Capital expenditure mainly
consisted of development expenditure in relation to the Karish Main
and Karish North Fields in Israel ($534.5 million) , NEA/NI project
in Egypt ($107.9 million), Cassiopea field in Italy ($77.0
million), Scott field in UK ($9.2 million) and exploration
expenditures in Athena, Zeus, Hermes and Hercules in Israel ($123.0
million).
Net Debt
As at 31 December 2022, net debt of $2,518.2million (2021:
$2,016 million) consisted of $2,500 million Israeli senior secured
notes, $450 million of corporate senior secured notes, $63.5million
draw down of the Greek loans and $50 million of convertible loan
notes, less deferred amortised fees, equity component of
convertible loan ($10.5 million) and cash balances of $502.7
million. Net debt excluding Israel is $143.8 million (2021: $102.6
million).
In accessing the debt capital markets, Energean is only exposed
to floating interest rates for the Greek loan. Refer to note 26.3
in the financial statements for the interest risk sensitivity.
Credit ratings
Energean maintains corporate credit ratings with Standard and
Poor's (S&P) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch).
On 4 November 2021 Energean plc was assigned its first corporate
credit ratings from S&P and Fitch, following the issuance of
the $450 million senior secured notes which mature in 2027.
-- In February 2023 S&P upgraded the ratings from B to B+
for both Energean plc corporate and the senior secured notes
maturing in 2027, with Stable Outlook. This reflects first gas from
the Karish field in Israel and associated track record of
production.
-- Fitch assigned a B+ corporate credit rating to Energean plc
and B+ rating for the senior secured notes maturing in 2027. In
November 2023 the Outlook was upgraded to Positive to reflect the
improvement in financial performance since 2021, due to stronger
price environment and timely delivery projects including the Karish
gas field in Israel.
Risk management
Principal risks
There are no significant changes to the headline principal risks
from those disclosed in the 2022 Interim results. A full
description of Energean's principal risks is disclosed in the
strategic review of the 2022 Annual Report & Accounts.
Liquidity risk management and going concern
The Group carefully manages the risk of a shortage of funds by
closely monitoring its funding position and its liquidity risk. The
going concern assessment covers the period from the date of
approval of the Group Financial Statements on 22 March 2023 to 30
June 2024 'the Assessment Period'. The Assessment Period has been
extended such that it includes the $625 million bond repayment due
in March 2024.
As of 31 December 2022 the Group's available liquidity was
approximately $720 million. This available liquidity figure
includes: (i) c. $43 million of undrawn facility under the EUR100
million loan backed by the Greek State signed in December 2021 for
the development of the Prinos Area in Greece, including the Epsilon
development; and (ii) c. $174 million available under the $275
million Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF') signed by the Group in
September 2022 (with the remainder being utilized to issue Letters
of Credit for the Group's operations). Subsequent to 31 December
2022, the Group signed a $350 million Term Loan Facility. The Group
has a $625 million bond, at the Energean Israel level, maturing in
March 2024. Management expects to refinance this bond during 2023;
however, for the purposes of the Going Concern assessment it has
been assumed that the bond is repaid in full and not
refinanced.
The going concern assessment is founded on a cashflow forecast
prepared by management, which is based on a number of assumptions,
most notably the Group's latest life of field production forecasts,
budgeted expenditure forecasts, estimated of future commodity
prices (based on recent published forward curves) and available
headroom under the Group's debt facilities. The going concern
assessment contains a 'Base Case' and a 'Reasonable Worst Case'
('RWC') scenario.
The Base Case scenario assumes Brent at $80/bbl in 2023 and
$75/bbl in 2023 and PSV (Italian gas price) at EUR50/MWH in 2023
and EUR45/MWH in 2024. A reasonable ramp-up of production from the
Karish Field is assumed throughout the going concern assessment
period, with prices for gas sold assumed at contractually agreed
prices. Under the Base Case, sufficient liquidity is maintained
throughout the going concern period.
The Group also routinely performs sensitivity tests of its
liquidity position to evaluate adverse impacts that may result from
changes to the macro-economic environment, such as a reduction in
commodity prices. These downsides are considered in the RWC going
concern assessment scenario. The Group is not materially exposed to
floating interest rate risk since the majority of its borrowings
are fixed-rate. The Group also looks at the impact of changes or
deferral of key projects and downside scenarios to budgeted
production forecasts in the RWC.
The two primary downside sensitivities considered in the RWC
are: (i) reduced commodity prices; (ii) reduced production - these
downsides are applied to assess the robustness of the Group's
liquidity position over the Assessment Period. In a RWC downside
case, there are appropriate and timely mitigation strategies,
within the Group's control, to manage the risk of funding
shortfalls and to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern. Mitigation strategies, within management's control,
modelled in the RWC include deferral of capital expenditure on
operated assets, deferral or cancellation of exploration and/or
discretionary spend and exercise of rights under contractual
arrangements to improve liquidity. Under the RWC scenario, after
considering mitigation strategies, liquidity is maintained
throughout the going concern period.
Reverse stress testing was also performed to determine what
commodity price or production shortfall would need to occur for
liquidity headroom to be eliminated. The conditions necessary for
liquidity headroom to be eliminated are judged to have a remote
possibility of occurring, given the diversified nature of the
Group's portfolio and the 'natural hedge' provided by virtue of the
Group's fixed-price gas contracts in Israel and Egypt. In the event
a remote downside scenario occurred, prudent mitigating strategies,
consistent with those described above, could also be executed in
the necessary timeframe to preserve liquidity. There is no material
impact of climate change within the Assessment Period and therefore
it does not form part of the reverse stress testing performed by
management.
In forming its assessment of the Group's ability to continue as
a going concern, including its review of the forecasted cashflow of
the Group over the Forecast Period, the Board has made judgements
about:
-- Reasonable sensitivities appropriate for the current status
of the business and the wider macro environment; and
-- the Group's ability to implement the mitigating actions
within the Group's control, in the event these actions were
required.
After careful consideration, the Directors are satisfied that
the Group and Company has sufficient financial resources to
continue in operation for the foreseeable future, for the
Assessment Period from the date of approval of the Group Financial
Statements on 22 March 2023 to 30 June 2024. For this reason, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
consolidated financial statements.
Events since December 2022
On the 9 February 2023 Energean declared its 4Q dividend of
US$30 cents per share, to be paid on 30 March 2023.
On the 17 March 2023 Energean also signed an unsecured $350
million two year term loan facility, which offers additional
financial flexibility for the Group. The loan is expected to remain
undrawn.
Non-IFRS measures
The Group uses certain measures of performance that are not
specifically defined under IFRS or other generally accepted
accounting principles. These non-IFRS measures include Adjusted
EBITDAX, cost of production, capital expenditure, cash capital
expenditure, net debt and gearing ratio and are explained
below.
Cash cost of production
Cash cost of production is a non-IFRS measure that is used by
the Group as a useful indicator of the Group's underlying cash
costs to produce hydrocarbons. The Group uses the measure to
compare operational performance period to period, to monitor costs
and to assess operational efficiency. Cash cost of production is
calculated as cost of sales, adjusted for depreciation and
hydrocarbon inventory movements.

(1Numbers may not sum due to rounding)
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-IFRS measure used by the Group to
measure business performance. It is calculated as profit or loss
for the period, adjusted for discontinued operations, taxation,
depreciation and amortisation, other income and expenses (including
the impact of derivative financial instruments and foreign
exchange), net finance costs and exploration costs. The Group
presents Adjusted EBITDAX as it is used in assessing the Group's
growth and operational efficiencies, because it illustrates the
underlying performance of the Group's business by excluding items
not considered by management to reflect the underlying operations
of the Group.

Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure is a useful indicator of the Group's organic
expenditure on oil and gas assets and exploration and appraisal
assets incurred during a period. Capital expenditure is defined as
additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible
exploration and evaluation assets less decommissioning asset
additions, right-of-use asset additions, capitalised share-based
payment charge and capitalised borrowing costs:

Net debt/(cash) and gearing ratio
Net debt is defined as the Group's total borrowings less cash
and cash equivalents. Management believes that net debt is a useful
indicator of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and
capital structure because it indicates the level of borrowings
after taking account of any cash and cash equivalents that could be
used to reduce borrowings. The Group defines capital as total
equity and calculates the gearing ratio as net debt divided by
total equity.

1. Basis of preparation and presentation of financial
information
Whilst the financial information in this preliminary
announcement has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted
International Accounting Standards (UK-adopted IAS) and with the
requirements of the United Kingdom Listing Authority (UKLA) Listing
Rules, this announcement does not contain sufficient information to
comply with IFRS. The Group will publish full financial statements
that comply with IFRS in April 2022. The financial information for
the year ended 31 December 2022 does not constitute statutory
accounts as defined in sections 435 (1) and (2) of the Companies
Act 2006. The group and parent company financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2021 have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies; the auditor's report on these accounts was unqualified,
did not include a reference to any matters by way of emphasis and
did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or Section 498
(3) of the UK Companies Act 2006.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those
adopted and disclosed in the Group's financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2022. There have been a number of amendments
to accounting standards and new interpretations issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board which were applicable from
1 January 2022, however these have not any impact on the accounting
policies, methods of computation or presentation applied by the
Group. Further details on new International Financial Reporting
Standards adopted will be disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report and
Accounts.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been
published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2022 reporting
periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These
standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity
in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable
future transactions.
2. Earnings/ (Loss) per share
Basic earnings per ordinary share amounts are calculated by
dividing net income for the year attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per ordinary
share amounts are calculated by dividing net income for the year
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would
be issued if dilutive employee share options were converted into
ordinary shares.

convertible loan notes (as disclosed in note 9) that will no longer
be incurred on conversion to shares.
3. Segmental reporting
The information reported to the Group's Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer (together the Chief Operating Decision
Makers) for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of
segment performance is focused on four operating segments: Europe,
(including Greece, Italy, UK, Croatia), Israel, Egypt and New
Ventures (Montenegro and Malta).
The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 Operating Segments
are Europe, Israel and Egypt. Segments that do not exceed the
quantitative thresholds for reporting information about operating
segments have been included in Other.

1 Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-IFRS measure used by the Group to
measure business performance. It is calculated as profit or loss
for the period, adjusted for discontinued operations, taxation,
depreciation and amortisation, share-based payment charge,
impairment of property, plant and equipment, other income and
expenses (including the impact of derivative financial instruments
and foreign exchange), net finance costs and exploration and
evaluation expenses.

During August 2021 and in accordance with the GSPAs signed with
a group of gas buyers, the Group agreed to pay compensation to
these counterparties due to the fact the gas supply date is taking
place beyond a certain date as defined in the GSPAs (being 30 June
2021). The compensation is accounted as variable purchase
consideration and deducted from revenue as gas is delivered to the
offtakers.
Proceeds related to lost production under the business
interruption insurance policy of $12.6million (2021:
$0million).
100% of the gas produced at Abu Qir (Egypt) is sold to EGPC
under a Brent-linked gas price. The gas price is determined based
on Brent prices trading within a certain range, as set out in the
agreement, and contains both a floor price and a cap, limiting
volatility and exposure to commodity price fluctuations .

(b) Reconciliation of the total tax charge
The Group calculates its income tax expense by applying a
weighted average tax rate calculated based on the statutory tax
rates of each country weighted according to the profit or loss
before tax earned by the Group in each jurisdiction where deferred
tax is recognised or material current tax charge arises.
The effective tax rate for the period is 84% (31 December 2021:
-6%).
The tax (charge)/credit of the period can be reconciled to the
loss per the consolidated income statement as follows:

1 For the reconciliation of the tax rate, the weighted average
rate of the statutory tax rates in Greece (25%), Cyprus (12.5%)
Israel (23%), Italy (24%), United Kingdom (19%/40%/55.07%) and
Egypt (40.55%) was used weighted according to the profit or loss
before tax earned by the Group in each jurisdiction, excluding fair
value uplifts profits.
(2) "Impact of different tax rates" mainly consisted of the
Italian regional taxes (IRAP).
3 Permanent differences mainly consisted of non-deductible
expenses (-$15.0m), consolidation differences ($2.8m) and foreign
exchange differences (-$4.1m).
4 During 2022, Italy introduced: 1) a windfall tax in the form
of a law decree which imposed a 25% one-off tax on profit margins
that rose by more than $5.26 million (EUR5.0 million) between
October 2021 and April 2022 compared to the same period a year
earlier. The amount of the windfall tax paid by Energean Italy was
$29.3mil and 2) In November 2022, Italy introduced a new windfall
tax that imposed a 50% one-off tax, calculated on 2022 taxable
profits that are 10% higher than the average taxable profits
between 2018-2021. This amount has a ceiling equal to 25% of the
value of the net assets at end-2021. Based on this, Energean would
be required to pay an additional one-off tax of $92.8 million (
EUR87.0 million) in June 2023. In addition, the Energy (Oil and
Gas) Profits Levy (EPL) was announced by the UK Government on 26
May 2022 and legislated for in July 2022. This was a new, temporary
25% (to be increased to 35% from 1st January 2023) levy on ring
fence profits of oil and gas companies. This was in addition to
Ring Fence Corporation Tax which is charged at 30% and the
Supplementary Charge which is charged at 10%. The Group's exposure
to the EPL is de minimis.

1 Included within the carrying amount of Oil & Gas assets
are development costs of the Karish field related to the Sub Sea
and On-shore construction. In line with the agreement with Israel
Natural Gas Lines ("INGL"), the transfer of title ("hand over") of
these assets to INGL is expected to occur in Q1 2023.
(2 Included in the carrying amount of leased assets at 31
December 2022 is right of use assets related to Oil and gas
properties and Other property, plant and equipment of $21.3 million
and $8.1 million respectively. The depreciation charged on these
classes for the year ending 31 December 2022 was $7.9 million and
$2.1 million respectively.)
Borrowing costs capitalised for qualifying assets during the
year are calculated by applying a weighted average interest rate of
5.16% for the year ended 31 December 2022 (for the year ended 31
December 2021: 5.49%).
The additions to Oil & Gas properties for the year ended 31
December 2022 are mainly due to development costs of Karish field
related to the EPCIC contract (FPSO, Sub Sea and On-shore
construction cost) at the amount of $534.5 million, development
cost for Cassiopea project in Italy at the amount of $56.7 million
and NEA/NI project in Egypt at the amount of $107.9 million.
The impairment recognised above of $27.9 million (2021: $0
million) was a result of a change to the decommissioning estimate
on certain fields in Italy and the UK where the recoverable amount
was lower than the carrying value, subsequent to recognising the
change in estimate. The remaining change in decommissioning
provision of $21.7 million was in relation to fields across the
group whereby the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying
value.

At 31 December 2022 the Group had gross unused tax losses of
$1,093.8 million (as of 31 December 2021: $1,123.8 million)
available to offset against future profits and other temporary
differences. A deferred tax asset of $197.0 million (2021: $120.2
million) has been recognised on tax losses of $799.2 million, based
on the forecasted profits. The Group did not recognise deferred tax
on tax losses and other differences of total amount of $546.3
million.
In Greece, Italy and the UK, the net DTA for carried forward
losses recognised in excess of the other net taxable temporary
differences was $69.2 million, $33.0 million and $16.7 million
(2021: $59.3 million, $0.19 million and $13.8 million)
respectively. An additional DTA of $124.6 million (2021: $81.4
million) arose primarily in respect of deductible temporary
differences related to property, plant and equipment,
decommissioning provisions and accrued expenses, resulting in a
total DTA of $242.3 million (2021: $154.9 million). During the
period, Italy recognised a DTA of $33.4million on tax losses of
$139.0 million in accordance with its latest tax losses utilisation
forecast.
Greek tax losses (Prinos area) can be carried forward without
limitation up until the relevant concession agreement expires (by
2039), whereas the tax losses in Israel, Italy and the United
Kingdom can be carried forward indefinitely. Based on the Prinos
area forecasts (including the Epsilon development), the deferred
tax asset is fully utilised by 2030. In Italy, deferred tax asset
of $111.2 million recognised on decommissioning costs scheduled up
to the year the Italian assets expect to enter into a declining
phase assuming available profits from Cassiopea and other long
lived assets. In the UK, decommissioning losses are expected to
benefit from tax relief up until 2027 in accordance with the latest
taxable profits forecasts.
On 3 March 2021 it was announced in the UK budget that the UK
non-ring fence corporation tax rate will increase from 19% to 25%
with effect from April 2023. The Group does not currently recognise
any deferred tax assets in respect of UK non-ring fence tax losses
and therefore this rate change did not impact the tax
disclosures.
Energean UK Limited with activities in the UKCS is subject to
the newly introduced UK Energy Profits Levy (EPL) with effect from
the 26 May 2022. For the tax reconciliation of Energean UK the
weighted average tax rate of 55.07% (40% for the RFCT and 15.07%
for the weighted average EPL rate) was used. The company generated
EPL losses during 2022.

1 Government subsidies relate to grants from Greek Public Body
for Employment and Social Inclusion (OAED) to financially support
the Kavala Oil S.A. labour cost from manufacturing under the action
plan for promoting sustainable employment in underdeveloped or
deprived districts of Greece, such as the area of Kavala. In
September 2020, the Greek Government issued a law and a subsequent
ministerial decision whereby any legal person who has launched
legal proceedings in relation to the aforementioned employment
costs, may set off such receivables against tax liabilities
provided the judicial proceedings already commenced are abandoned.
Energean investigated the process and potential benefits of this
approach decided to apply for the set off which has been approved
and the first offset was in January 2023 of EUR587k ($626k).
2 Included in deposits and prepayments, are mainly prepayments
for goods and services under the GSP Engineering, Procurement,
Construction and Installation Contract (EPCIC) for Epsilon
project.
3. In accordance with the GSPAs signed with a group of gas
buyers, the Company has agreed to pay compensation to these
counterparties due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place
beyond a certain date as defined in the GSPAs (being 30 June 2021).
The compensation, amounting to $23 million) has been fully paid in
2021. The compensation presented as a non-current asset (under the
caption deferred expenses) and will be accounted for as variable
consideration and deducted from revenue as gas is delivered to the
offtakers.

RCF with a consortium of four banks, led by ING Bank N.V. The RCF
provides additional liquidity for general corporate purposes, if
required. Under its current business plan, Energean expects the RCF
to remain undrawn, apart from $101 million (as at 31 December 2022)
of Letters of Credit ("LCs"), which replace the LCs that relate to
certain assets in the UK, Italy, Egypt and Greece that were issued
under the previous facility with ING on a one-for-one basis. The
interest rate, if drawn by way of loans, is 5% + SOFR.
Capital management
The Group defines capital as the total equity and net debt of
the Group. Capital is managed in order to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits to stakeholders and to safeguard the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Energean is not subject to any externally imposed capital
requirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the
Group may put in place new debt facilities, issue new shares for
cash, repay debt, engage in active portfolio management, adjust the
dividend payment to shareholders, or undertake other such
restructuring activities as appropriate.

Decommissioning provision
The decommissioning provision represents the present value of
decommissioning costs relating to oil and gas properties, which are
expected to be incurred up to 2042 when the producing oil and gas
properties are expected to cease operations. The future costs are
based on a combination of estimates from an external study
completed in previous years and internal estimates. These estimates
are reviewed annually to take into account any material changes to
the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will
ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary
decommissioning works required that will reflect market conditions
at the relevant time. Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is
likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at
economically viable rates. This, in turn, will depend upon future
oil and gas prices and the impact of energy transition and the pace
at which it progresses which are inherently uncertain. The
decommissioning provision represents the present value of
decommissioning costs
relating to assets in Italy, Greece, UK, Israel and Croatia. No
provision is recognised for Egypt as there is no legal or
constructive obligation as at 31 December 2022.

3 Included in trade payables and accrued expenses in 2022 and
2021, are mainly Karish field related development expenditures
(mainly FPSO and Sub Sea construction cost), development
expenditure for Cassiopea project in Italy and NEA/NI project in
Egypt.
4 In June 2019, Energean signed a Detailed Agreement with Israel
Natural Gas Lines ("INGL") for the transfer of title (the "hand
over") of the nearshore and onshore part of the infrastructure that
will deliver gas from the Karish and Tanin FPSO into the Israeli
national gas transmission grid. As consideration, INGL will pay
Energean 369 million Israeli New Shekels (ILS), which translates to
approximately $115 million, for the infrastructure being built by
Energean in accordance with milestones detailed in the agreement.
The agreement covers the onshore section of the Karish and Tanin
infrastructure and the near shore section of pipeline extending to
approximately 10km offshore. The amount included in the contract
liability line above represents the amount received as of 31
December 2022 from INGL. The handover to INGL is expected to be
effective in Q1 2023.
5 The amount represents an amount payable to Technip in respect
of costs incurred starting 1 April 2022 until completion, in terms
of the EPCIC contract. The amount is payable in eight equal
quarterly deferred payments due after practical completion date and
therefore has been discounted at 5.831%. p.a. (being the yield rate
of the senior secured loan notes, maturing in 2024, at the date of
entering into the settlement agreement).
6 In December 2016, Energean Israel acquired the Karish and
Tanin offshore gas fields for $40.0 million closing payment with an
obligation to pay additional consideration of $108.5 million plus
interest inflated at an annual rate of 4.6% in ten equal annual
payments. As at 31 December 2022 the total discounted deferred
consideration was $51.8 million (as at 31 December 2021: $57.23
million). The Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") includes
provisions in the event of Force Majeure that prevents or delays
the implementation of the development plan as approved under one
lease for a period of more than ninety (90) days in any year
following the final investment decision ("FID") date. In the event
of Force Majeure the applicable annual payment of the remaining
consideration will be postponed by an equivalent period of time,
and no interest will be accrued in that period of time as well. Due
to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which constitute a Force
Majeure event, the deferred payment due in March 2022 would be
postponed by the number of days that such Force Majeure event last.
As of 31 December 2021 Force Majeure event length has not been
finalised as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the progress
of the project, and as such the deferred payment due in March 2022
was postponed accordingly.
17. Contingent consideration
The share purchase agreement (the "SPA") dated 4 July 2019
between Energean and Edison SpA provides for a contingent
consideration of up to $100.0 million subject to the commissioning
of the Cassiopea development gas project in Italy. The
consideration was determined to be contingent on the basis of
future gas prices (PSV) recorded at the time of first gas
production at the Cassiopea field, which is expected in 2024. No
payment will be due if the arithmetic average of the year one
(i.e., the first year after first gas production) and year two
(i.e., the second year after first gas production) Italian PSV
Natural Gas Futures prices is less than EUR10/Mwh when first gas
production is delivered from the field. US$100 million is payable
if that average price exceeds EUR20/Mwh.
The fair value of the Contingent Consideration is estimated by
reference to the terms of the SPA and the simulated PSV pricing by
reference to the forecasted PSV pricing, historical volatility and
a log normal distribution, discounted at a cost of debt.
Noting the natural gas future prices for PSV are currently in
excess of the EUR20/MWh (the threshold for payment of $100
million), we estimate the fair value of the Contingent
Consideration as at 31 December 2021 to be $86.3 million based on a
Monte Carlo simulation.

18. Dividends
In September 2022, Energean declared its maiden quarterly
dividend. In total, Energean returned US$0.60/share to shareholders
in 2022, representing two-quarters of dividend payments. No
dividend was proposed in respect of the year ended 31 December
2021.

On the 9 February 2023 Energean declared its 4Q dividend of
US$30 cents per share, to be paid on 30 March 2023.
On the 17 March 2023 Energean signed an unsecured $350 million
two year term loan facility, which offers additional financial
flexibility for the Group. The loan is expected to remain
undrawn.
[1] During 2022, Italy introduced: 1) a windfall tax in the form
of a law decree which imposed a 25% one-off tax on profit margins
that rose by more than 5 million euros between October 2021 and
April 2022 compared to the same period a year earlier. The amount
of the windfall tax paid by Energean Italy was $29.3 million and 2)
In November 2022, Italy introduced a new windfall tax that imposed
a 50% one-off tax, calculated on 2022 taxable profits that are 10%
higher than the average taxable profits between 2018-2021. This
amount has a ceiling equal to 25% of the value of the net assets at
end-2021. Based on this, Energean would be required to pay an
additional one-off tax of EUR87 million in June 2023.
