SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

Note 1

 

General information

 

GeoPark Limited (the Company) is a company incorporated under the law of Bermuda. The Registered Office address is Cumberland House, 9th Floor, 1 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda.

 

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) are exploration, development and production for oil and gas reserves in Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. The Group has working interests and/or economic interests in 31 hydrocarbon blocks.

 

This consolidated interim financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 18 May 2015.

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The 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 2013 and 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

The consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in the most recent annual financial statements. For further information please refer to GeoPark Limited's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

 

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

 

The activities of the Company are not subject to significant seasonal changes.

 

The Management of the Company has changed the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Income re-ordering the profit and loss line items for a better explanation of the elements of performance.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of interim financial information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

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, Legal and 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. As of 2015, the committee has changed the disclosure of certain elements of performance to be more comparable with other companies in the market and also to better follow up the performance of the business. This change impacts the segment information because gross profit or loss is no longer shown but no impact is generated in the measure of segment profit and loss.

 

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 efforts, accrual of share-based payment 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, except as noted below, to the Executive Committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements.

(a) During February 2013, the Company successfully placed US$ 300 million notes which were offered under Rule 144A and Regulation S exemptions of the United States Securities laws.

 

The Notes, issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary GeoPark Latin America Limited Agencia en Chile ("the Issuer"), were priced at 99.332% and carry a coupon of 7.50% per annum (yield 7.625% per annum). Final maturity of the notes will be 11 February 2020. The Notes are guaranteed by GeoPark Limited and GeoPark Latin America Cooperatie U.A. and are secured with a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Issuer in GeoPark Chile S.A. and GeoPark Colombia S.A. and a pledge of certain intercompany loans.  Notes were rated single B by both Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings. The debt issuance cost for this transaction amounted to US$ 7,637,000. The Notes include covenants restricting dividend payments and new indebtedness. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has complied with these covenants.

 

(b) During March 2014, GeoPark executed a loan agreement with Itaú BBA International for US$ 70,450,000 to finance the acquisition of a 10% working interest in the Manatí field in Brazil. The interest rate applicable to this loan is LIBOR plus 3.9% per annum. The interest will be paid semi-annually; principal will be cancelled semi-annually with a year grace period. The debt issuance cost for this transaction amounted to US$ 3,295,000. This loan includes covenants restricting dividend payments and new indebtedness. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has complied with these covenants.

 

In March 2015, the Company reached an agreement to: (i) extend the principal payments that were due in 2015 (amounting to approximately US$ 15,000,000), which will be divided pro-rata during the remaining principal installments, starting in March 2016 and (ii) to increase the variable interest rate to six-month LIBOR + 4.0%.

 

(c) Facility to establish the operational base in the Fell Block. This facility was acquired through a mortgage loan granted by the Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (BCI), a Chilean private bank. The loan was granted in Chilean pesos and is repayable over a period of 8 years. The interest rate applicable to this loan is 6.6%.

 

As of the date of this interim condensed consolidated report, the Group has been granted with credit lines for over US$ 41,000,000.

Oil industry situation and the impact on GeoPark’s operations

 

As a consequence of oil price crisis which started in the second half of 2014 (WTI and Brent, the main international oil price markers, fell more than 40% between September 2014 and February 2015), the Company has undertaken a decisive cost cutting program to ensure its ability to both maximize the work program and preserve its liquidity. The main decisions within the mentioned program for 2015 include:

 

-Reduction of its capital investment taking advantage of the discretionary work programme.

 

-Deferment of capital projects by regulatory authority and partner agreement.

 

-Renegotiation and reduction of oil and gas service contracts, including drilling and civil work contractors, as well as transportation trucking and pipeline costs.

 

-Operating cost improved efficiencies and temporary suspension of certain marginal producing oil and gas fields. Further cost reductions are expected to result from a general depreciation of Latin American currencies (Colombian peso, Brazilian real, Chilean peso, Argentine peso and Peruvian sol), in connection with operating and structure costs established in local currencies and also related to a voluntary salary reduction by GeoPark’s senior management team and Board of Directors.

 

During February 2015, the Company reduced its workforce significantly. This reduction streamlined certain internal functions and departments for creating a more efficient workforce in the current economic environment. As a result, the Company expects cost savings associated with the reduction of full-time and temporary employees, excluding one-time termination costs.

 

In addition, actions taken by the Company to maximize ongoing work projects and to reduce expenses, including renegotiations and reduction of oil and gas service contracts and other initiatives included in the cost cutting program adopted may expose the Company to claims and contingencies from interested parties that may have a negative impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of the date of this interim condensed consolidated report, according to internal estimates, the Company has recognized approximately US$ 3,300,000 for future contingent payments in connection with claims of third parties. The mentioned costs are allocated under the other (expenses) income line, included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
