(1)  Calculated as total production since the acquisition date divided by 90.

  • Revenues up 75%: Total revenues increased to US$89.8 million in 1Q2013 from US$51.3 million in 1Q2012, mainly as a result of a significant increase in oil production and the incorporation of new production from Colombia. Oil revenues from Chilean operations increased by 5.3% to US$39.4 million and Colombian operations contributed additional oil revenues of US$43.8 million. Oil revenues represented 93% of total revenues.
  • Adjusted EBITDA up 45% reaching US$49.7 million compared to US$34.3 million in 1Q2012, again mainly due to the incorporation of Colombian operations and a higher oil composition in our production. As at 31 March 2013, Colombian operations accounted for 44% of Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Netbacks increased 6% to US$41 per boe compared to US$38.9 per boe in 1Q2012 reflecting the higher weighting of oil in the production mix, as well as the incorporation of Colombian operations into the portfolio.
