Q2-2015

 


CORPORATE SUMMARY
TransGlobe Energy Corporation's (“TransGlobe” or the “Company”) total production averaged 15,064 barrels of oil per day (“Bopd”) during the quarter, which is a slight increase from Q1-2015 production of 14,886 Bopd.

TransGlobe completed its second direct sale of Egyptian crude production to a third party buyer on April 4, 2015 and payment was received in full in early May. The next lifting is scheduled for late September and the Company is in discussions with EGPC regarding liftings in the fourth quarter and 2016. This change in how TransGlobe's crude is sold significantly reduces the Company's credit risk exposure going forward.

Processing of the Eastern Desert seismic data was completed during the second quarter, and mapping/interpretation is ongoing. The Company is targeting to have a drill-ready prospect inventory (which incorporates the new seismic data and drilling results to date) prepared prior to year-end. No wells were drilled in the Eastern Desert during the second quarter, and no wells are currently budgeted for the remainder of 2015.

The Company completed the acquisition of 400 square kilometers of 3-D seismic on the South Ghazalat concession in the Western Desert during the second quarter. It is expected that this seismic data will be processed and available for mapping by the fourth quarter. No wells were drilled in the Western Desert during the second quarter, and no wells are currently budgeted for the remainder of 2015.

Dated Brent oil prices averaged $61.69 in the second quarter of 2015. Egypt crude is sold at a quality discount to Dated Brent and received a blended price of $48.48 during the quarter. The Company had funds flow of $7.0 million ($0.09 per share) and ended the quarter with positive working capital of $178.7 million or $104.3 million net of debt (the convertible debentures). The Company collected $18.2 million of accounts receivable from the Egyptian government during the quarter, resulting in an accounts receivable balance of $72.8 million as at June 30, 2015.

The Company's crude oil inventory in West Bakr decreased from 179,730 barrels to zero, and in West Gharib increased from zero to 253,771 barrels. Had the West Gharib entitlement oil been sold in the quarter, the increase in funds flow net of the funds flow generated by West Bakr opening inventory would have been approximately $2.6 million using Q2-2015 realized pricing.

The Company experienced a net loss in the quarter of $12.6 million, which included a $7.8 million non-cash unrealized loss on convertible debentures. The $7.8 million loss represents a fair value adjustment in accordance with IFRS, but does not represent a cash loss or a change in the future cash outlay required to repay the convertible debentures.

The Company has been focused on decreasing operating expenses, and as a result has achieved cost reductions in operating costs of $1.3 million in Q2-2015 as compared to Q1-2015.

The Company paid a dividend of $0.05 per share on June 30, 2015, and has approved a $0.05 per share dividend for the third quarter, which will be paid on September 30, 2015. In addition, the Company initiated a normal course issuer bid for its common shares on March 26, 2015. During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 2,269,990 common shares. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company repurchased an additional 833,802 common shares. In total the Company has now repurchased over 4% of its shares that were issued and outstanding at the beginning of the year.
TransGlobe remains in a strong financial position and is well positioned to weather the downturn in world oil prices. The current oil price correction is part of the normal commodity cycle seen many times over the Company's history. TransGlobe's management will continue to steward capital programs, focus on cost reductions and maintain a strong balance sheet through 2015 and beyond. In addition, management will continue to seek out opportunities to grow the Company and diversify our risk so that we will be well positioned to prosper in the long term.

West Bakr, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)
Operations and Exploration
No wells were drilled during the second quarter, and no wells are currently budgeted for the remainder of 2015.
Production
Production from West Bakr averaged 5,592 Bopd to TransGlobe during the second quarter, a 13% (661 Bopd) increase from the previous quarter. The production increases are attributed to pump upgrades and the associated increases in pump performance and uptime.

Production averaged 5,854 Bopd in July.

Sales
TransGlobe marketed and sold 544,752 barrels of Ras Gharib blend during the second quarter which included 385,829 barrels of West Bakr entitlement oil for the first half of 2015 (West Bakr first quarter entitlement oil was held as inventory at the end of the first quarter). As a result, there was no crude oil inventory held at West Bakr at the end of the second quarter. Through the direct marketing process, the West Bakr entitlement oil for the first half of 2015 received $0.88/barrel less than West Gharib entitlement oil which is sold as Ras Gharib blend, due to oil quality adjustments. The $0.88/barrel reduction represented a discount of approximately 2% of the Ras Gharib blend pricing, versus a historical discount of approximately 12%.

North West Gharib, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)

Operations and Exploration
No wells were drilled during the second quarter, and no wells are currently budgeted for the remainder of 2015.
The Company completed the acquisition of approximately 480 square kilometers of 3-D seismic in North West Gharib ("NWG") in the fourth quarter of 2014. Processing of the seismic data was completed during the second quarter, and mapping/interpretation is underway. The Company is targeting to have a drill-ready prospect inventory (which incorporates the new seismic data and drilling results to date) prepared prior to year-end.
South West Gharib, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)
Operations and Exploration
The Company completed the acquisition of approximately 235 square kilometers of 3-D seismic in South West Gharib (“SWG”) in the fourth quarter of 2014 which covered the entire concession area. Processing was completed during the second quarter, and mapping/interpretation is underway. The Company is targeting to have a drill ready prospect inventory prepared prior to year-end.
South East Gharib, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)
Operations and Exploration
The Company completed the acquisition of approximately 330 square kilometers of 3-D seismic and 325 kilometers of 2-D seismic in South East Gharib (“SEG”) in the fourth quarter of 2014. Processing of the 3-D seismic was completed during the second quarter, and preliminary mapping/interpretation is underway. The Company is targeting to have a drill ready prospect inventory prepared prior to year-end.
In addition, the Company initiated a field mapping program in Q4-2014 to better understand the structural and stratigraphic complexities in this block.  SEG has little well control, but contains several outcrop and surface fault expressions, that includes the Morgan Accommodation Zone, a complex structural feature where dominant fault polarities change across the zone.  The field work was concluded successfully in 2014.  The field mapping results will be integrated into the seismic interpretation to better constrain that interpretation during prospect identification.
WESTERN DESERT

East Ghazalat, Arab Republic of Egypt (50% working interest)
Operations and Exploration
No wells were drilled during the second quarter, and no wells are currently budgeted for the remainder of 2015.
Production
Production from the Safwa field averaged 884 Bopd (442 Bopd to TransGlobe) during the second quarter, a 72 Bopd (14%) decrease to TransGlobe from the previous quarter. Production decreases are attributed to natural declines and shut-in wells awaiting pump changes.
The Safwa field production averaged 874 Bopd (437 Bopd to TransGlobe) in July.
Sales
TransGlobe continues to sell its entitlement share of production (after royalties and tax) to EGPC.

South Alamein, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)
Operations and Exploration
The Company did not plan for any wells in 2015 due to the prolonged delays in receiving military approvals for new wells in the central portion of the concession which includes the Boraq discovery. The Company has negotiated and received EGPC approval to suspend the final exploration

period effective July 8, 2012. The suspended area is approximately 800 square kilometers which has been deemed non-accessible by the military due to ongoing training and other activities in the area. The South Alamein concession was scheduled to reach the end of the final exploration period on April 4, 2014. Effective April 4, 2014 the remaining exploration lands outside of the restricted access zone were relinquished in accordance with the concession agreement. The relinquished lands were evaluated and were not considered prospective. The remaining lands in the South Alamein concession agreement are extended until such time as military access is approved, at which time the Company will have approximately 20 months to complete additional exploration and appraisal in the final exploration phase. All other provisions of the South Alamein concession agreement remain in place. The current South Alamein concession lands include the Boraq discovery and the remaining exploration prospects of interest. The Company and the Ministry of Petroleum are working together to engage the military and find solutions to obtain access to the remaining concession area.
South Ghazalat, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)
Operations and Exploration
The Company acquired 408 square kilometers of 3-D seismic in the south west corner of the South Ghazalat concession during the second quarter, on time and under budget. The data is being processed and it is expected that the processed data will be available for mapping by the fourth quarter.
North West Sitra, Arab Republic of Egypt (100% working interest, operated)
EGPC announced that TransGlobe was the successful bidder on the North West Sitra (“NW Sitra”) concession (100% working interest) in the 2014 EGPC bid round which closed on July 7, 2014. The NW Sitra concession was signed and ratified into law on January 8, 2015.
The 1,946 square kilometer (480,850 acre) NW Sitra concession is located in the Western Desert immediately to the west of the company’s South Ghazalat concession in the prolific Abu Gharadig basin. The Company has paid the signature bonus of $2 million and committed to an initial work commitment of $10 million (300 square kilometers of 3-D seismic and two exploration wells) in the first exploration phase.
The concession has a 7-year exploration term which is comprised of two 3.5 year (42 month) exploration phases. The first 3.5 year exploration phase commenced January 8, 2015. The new concession provides for the approval of 20-year development leases for commercial discoveries.
Following the successful South Ghazalat seismic acquisition program in the second quarter, the Company began work on the NW Sitra 3-D seismic acquisition program and tender process. It is expected that the 300+ square kilometer 3-D seismic program will go to tender this fall and be awarded by year end, subject to budget availability in 2016.
REPUBLIC OF YEMEN (Non-operated)
Yemen is now a small portion of the Company’s portfolio due to our success in Egypt. Yemen is our legacy international asset which provided the revenue platform that allowed TransGlobe to expand its operations into Egypt. Notwithstanding the Company’s Yemeni assets are in a prolific geologic basin with good contractual terms and infrastructure connected, due to the continued and increasing risk profile the Company wrote down the Yemen asset values to zero at year-end 2014. Subsequent to year-end the Company relinquished its interests in Block 32 and Block 72.
All activities on the Company’s remaining interests (25% working interest) in Blocks S-1 and 75 have been suspended due to continued political strife. To date the facilities and wells located on Block S-1 have not been impacted, however, export and supply systems have been shut down or restricted due to ongoing military activity in the country. At this time it is difficult to predict when activities can be resumed.

Statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future.
Forward-looking statements or information relate to the Company’s future events or performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements or information. Such statements or information are often but not always identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe”, and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements or information necessarily involve risks including, without limitation, risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, economic and political instability, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of the risk factors set out and other known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
In addition, forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such statements and information in order to provide shareholders with a more complete perspective on the Company's future operations. Such statements and information may prove to be incorrect and readers are cautioned that such statements and information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements or information because the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified herein, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the economic and political environment in which the Company operates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of the Company to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; drilling results; the ability of the operator of the projects which the Company has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of the Company to obtain financing on acceptable terms; field production rates and decline rates; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition, development and exploration; the timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of the Company to secure adequate product transportation; future commodity prices; currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and the ability of the Company to successfully market and receive payment for its oil and natural gas products.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which have been used. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect the Company's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com), EDGAR website (www.sec.gov) and at the Company's website (www.trans-globe.com). Furthermore, the forward-looking statements or information contained herein are made as at the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
The reader is further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Estimating reserves is also critical to several accounting estimates and requires judgments and decisions based upon available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data. These estimates may change, having either a negative or positive effect on net earnings as further information becomes available, and as the economic environment changes.

On August 11, 2015, TransGlobe's Board of Directors approved and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, which is payable on September 30, 2015 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2015. The quarterly dividend declared on August 11, 2015 has been designated as an eligible dividend under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
The actual amount of future quarterly dividends will be proposed by management and subject to the approval and discretion of the Board. The Board reviews proposed dividend payments in conjunction with their review of quarterly financial and operating results. Future dividend levels will be dependent upon economic factors including commodity prices, capital expenditure programs and production volumes, and will be evaluated regularly to ensure that dividend payments do not compromise the strong financial position or the growth of the Company.
MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
The Q3-2015 outlook provides information as to management’s expectation for results of operations for Q3-2015. Readers are cautioned that the Q3-2015 outlook may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company’s expected results are sensitive to commodity prices and fluctuations in the business environment, including disruptions caused by the ongoing political changes and civil unrest occurring in the jurisdictions that the Company operates in, and may vary accordingly. This outlook contains forward-looking statements that should be read in conjunction with the Company’s disclosure under “Forward-Looking Statements”, outlined on the first page of this MD&A.
Q3-2015 Outlook
It is expected that Q3-2015 production will average approximately 13,800 Bopd.  The Company now markets its own crude, therefore future funds flow will be dependent upon the timing of crude oil tanker liftings and the pricing that the Company is able to negotiate for its crude. Because these factors are difficult to accurately predict, the Company has not provided funds flow guidance for 2015. Funds flow and crude oil inventory levels are expected to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to the timing of liftings.
On April 4th TransGlobe lifted and sold its second directly marketed crude oil shipment, which was comprised of 544,752 barrels of Ras Gharib blend. The sold barrels were first allocated to West Bakr entitlement oil for the first half of the year, which amounted to 385,829 barrels. The remaining 158,923 barrels were allocated to West Gharib entitlement oil produced in the second quarter. West Gharib was in an under-lift (unsold) position of 253,771 entitlement barrels at the end of the quarter, whereas West Bakr held no crude oil inventory at quarter end. The next cargo lifting is scheduled for late September.
2015 Capital Budget
 
($ millions)
 
Egypt
37.0

Yemen

Total
37.5

The 2015 capital program is split 49:51 between development and exploration, respectively. The focus for the second half of 2015 will be on building the exploration prospect inventory from the recently acquired seismic in the Eastern Desert region of Egypt and interpretation of the recently completed 400 km2 3-D seismic program on the South Ghazalat concession in the Western Desert. No wells were drilled during the second quarter and there are currently no plans for any further drilling activities for the remainder of the year. The capital budget shown above excludes amounts for capitalized G&A. It is anticipated that the Company will fund its 2015 capital budget from funds flow from operations and working capital.
ADDITIONAL MEASURES
Funds Flow from Operations
This document contains the term “funds flow from operations”, which should not be considered an alternative to or more meaningful than “cash flow from operating activities” as determined in accordance with IFRS. Funds flow from operations is a measure that represents cash generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital. Management considers this a key measure as it demonstrates TransGlobe’s ability to generate the cash necessary to fund future growth through capital investment. Funds flow from operations may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

* Funds flow from operations does not include interest or financing costs. Interest expense is included in financing costs on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Cash interest paid is reported as a financing activity on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows.

Debt-to-funds flow ratio
Debt-to-funds flow is a measure that is used to set the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company’s debt-to-funds flow ratio is computed as long-term debt, including the current portion, plus convertible debentures over funds flow from operations for the trailing twelve months. Debt-to-funds flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
Netback
Netback is a measure that represents sales net of royalties (all government interests, net of income taxes), operating expenses and current taxes. Management believes that netback is a useful supplemental measure to analyze operating performance and provide an indication of the results generated by the Company’s principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. Netback may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
TRANSGLOBE’S BUSINESS
TransGlobe is a Canadian-based, publicly-traded oil exploration and production company whose activities are concentrated in the Arab Republic of Egypt (“Egypt”), with additional legacy non-operated assets in the Republic of Yemen (“Yemen”).

* Funds flow from operations is a measure that represents cash generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
** Debt-to-funds flow ratio is measure that represents total long-term debt (including the current portion) plus convertible debentures over funds flow from operations from the trailing 12 months and may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.


During the second quarter of 2015, TransGlobe:
Maintained a strong financial position, reporting a trailing 12 months debt-to-funds flow ratio of 1.5 at June 30, 2015;

Paid a quarterly dividend of $3.7 million ($0.05/share).

Reported a net loss of $12.6 million, which includes a $7.8 million unrealized non-cash loss on convertible debentures;

Experienced an increase in oil sales compared to Q1-2015 primarily as a result of increased sales volumes and higher oil prices during the second quarter;

Achieved positive funds flow from operations of $7.0 million, which is a significant improvement from Q1-2015. This is primarily due to a larger number of entitlement barrels being sold in Q2-2015 (544,752 bbls) versus Q1-2015 (418,245 bbls), combined with reduced operating, selling and cash general and administrative costs; and

Spent $22.3 million on capital programs, which was funded entirely with funds flow from operations and cash on hand.

TransGlobe recorded a net loss of $12.6 million in Q2-2015 compared to earnings of $26.2 million in Q2-2014. The negative earnings impact of reduced sales volumes and significantly lower oil prices totaled $81.6 million in aggregate compared to Q2-2014, which was partially offset by decreased royalties and current income taxes of $50.0 million. The mark-to-market adjustment on the convertible debentures created a $9.7 million negative earnings variance, while a further $9.3 million negative variance was caused by the reverse termination fee received from Caracal in Q2-2014. Reduced production and operating expenses and a deferred tax recovery had a significant positive impact on earnings in Q2-2015 compared to Q2-2014.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The Company’s financial results can be significantly influenced by fluctuations in commodity prices, including price differentials. The following table shows select market benchmark prices and foreign exchange rates:

The price of Dated Brent oil averaged 14% higher in Q2-2015 compared with Q1-2015. All of the Company’s production is priced based on Dated Brent and shared with the respective governments through PSCs. When the price of oil increases, it takes fewer barrels to recover costs (cost recovery barrels) which are assigned 100% to the Company. The contracts provide for cost recovery per quarter up to a maximum percentage of total revenue. Timing differences often exist between the Company's recognition of costs and their recovery as the Company accounts for costs on an accrual basis, whereas cost recovery is determined on a cash basis. If the eligible cost recovery is less than the maximum defined cost recovery, the difference is defined as "excess". In Egypt, depending on the PSC, the Contractor's share of excess ranges between 0% and 30%. In Yemen, under the Production Sharing Agreements, the excess is treated as production sharing oil. If the eligible cost recovery exceeds the maximum allowed percentage, the unclaimed cost recovery is carried forward to the next quarter. Typically maximum cost recovery or cost oil ranges from 25% to 30% in Egypt and 50% to 60% in Yemen. The balance of the production after maximum cost recovery is shared with the respective governments (production sharing oil). In Egypt, depending on the contract, the government receives 70% to 86% of the production sharing oil or profit oil. In Yemen, the government receives 65% of the production sharing oil or profit oil. Production sharing splits are set in each contract for the life of the contract. Typically the government’s share of production sharing oil increases when production exceeds pre-set production levels in the respective contracts. During times of increased oil prices, the Company receives less cost oil and may receive more production sharing oil. During times of lower oil prices, the Company receives more cost oil and may receive less profit oil. For reporting purposes, the Company records the respective government’s share of production as royalties and taxes (all taxes are paid out of the government’s share of production) which will increase during times of rising oil prices and will decrease in times of declining oil prices.

Q2-2015

Egypt has been experiencing significant political changes over the past four years and while this has had an impact on the efficient operations of the government in general, business processes and the Company’s operations have generally proceeded as normal. While exploration and development activities have generally been uninterrupted, the Company has experienced delays in the collection of accounts receivable from the Egyptian government. The Company collected a substantial amount on overdue receivables in 2014 ($233.5 million), which reduced the accounts receivable balance to $117.6 million as at December 31, 2014. The trend of accounts receivable reductions has continued through the first half of 2015, in which the Company collected $45.3 million, bringing the receivable balance down to $72.8 million. In December 2014, the Company negotiated an arrangement with EGPC to begin marketing its entitlement barrels from the Eastern Desert on a go-forward basis. Two oil shipments were lifted in the first half of 2015, and the Company expects to complete another two liftings in the second half of the year. The next cargo lifting is scheduled for late September. TransGlobe anticipates that this marketing process will reduce or eliminate future issues regarding receivables for oil sales.

The netback per Bbl in Egypt decreased 62% and 70%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the same periods of 2014. The decreased netbacks were principally the result of a reduction in realized oil prices of 49% and 50%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the same periods of 2014.
Production and operating expenses decreased by $3.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods of 2014. This is principally the result of reduced activity levels combined with the Company's efforts to achieve cost efficiencies in a lower oil price environment. These cost savings have translated to reductions of 11% and 2%, respectively, on a per Bbl basis even though sales volumes were lower in the current year. Also contributing to the reduction in netback per Bbl were selling costs (mainly transportation and marketing fees) incurred on the direct sale of the Company's crude oil. TransGlobe completed two direct sales of crude oil to third party buyers during the first half of 2015 (one lifting in each of the first two quarters). The Q1-2015 lifting was sold CIF (cost, insurance and freight) destination, resulting in significantly higher selling costs in the first quarter, whereas the Q2-2015 lifting was sold FOB shipping point.
Royalties and taxes as a percentage of revenue decreased to 58% and 59%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with 61% and 62%, respectively, for the same periods of 2014 as a result of lower oil prices. If all crude oil had been sold in the period in which it was produced for the first half of 2015, royalties and taxes as a percentage of revenue would have been 55% and 53%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. When oil prices fall it takes more barrels to recover costs, thereby reducing (or eliminating) excess cost oil barrels, the majority of which are allocated to the government.
The average selling price during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $48.48/Bbl, which was $13.21/Bbl lower than the average Dated Brent oil price of $61.69/Bbl for the period (Q2-2014 $108.95/Bbl). The difference is due to a gravity/quality adjustment and is also impacted by the timing of the direct sale, specifically the Q2-2015 lifting which was sold based on the April average Dated Brent price.

Yemen
In January 2015, the Company provided notice of its relinquishment of its interests in Block 32 and Block 72 in Yemen due to project economics and security issues. The relinquishment of Blocks 32 and 72 were effective March 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015, respectively. The Company has retained its 25% interest in Blocks S-1 and 75.
Although TransGlobe’s Yemen properties contributed minimal sales volumes during the first half, the Company continued to incur the majority of the operating costs associated with the blocks. These factors resulted in a negative netback per Bbl of $193.24 in Yemen for the six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no sales in Yemen for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

G&A expenses (net) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 12% in Q2-2015 compared with Q2-2014 (2% increase on a per bbl basis). G&A expenses (net) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 1% in Q2-2015 compared with Q2-2014 (27% increase on a per bbl basis). The majority of the per Bbl amount increases are due to reduced sales volumes in the first half of 2015 as compared to 2014. If all crude oil was sold in the same period it was produced for the first half of the year, G&A (gross) per bbl would have been $4.76 and $5.48, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, representing a 3% and 16% increase, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014.

FINANCE COSTS
Finance costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $1.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively (2014 - $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively). Interest expense on the convertible debentures for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 were $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively (2014 - $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively). The decrease in this portion of the interest expense is due to foreign exchange fluctuations, as the interest on the convertible debentures is paid in Canadian dollars. The remaining decrease in interest expense is due to a lower utilization of the Company's Borrowing Base Facility as at June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014.

The Company had no long-term debt outstanding under the Borrowing Base Facility as at June 30, 2015 (June 30, 2014 - $nil million). The borrowing base was reduced from $85.5 million to $71.0 million on June 30, 2015 as a result of a scheduled reduction to the facility. The Borrowing Base Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin that varies from 5.0% to 5.5% depending on the amount drawn under the facility, and the term of the facility extends to December 31, 2017.
In February 2012, the Company sold, on a bought-deal basis, C$97.8 million ($97.9 million) aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a maturity date of March 31, 2017. The debentures are convertible at any time and from time to time into common shares of the Company at a price of C$14.04 per common share. The debentures are not redeemable by the Company on or before March 31, 2015 other than in limited circumstances in connection with a change of control of TransGlobe. After March 31, 2015 and prior to March 31, 2017, the debentures may be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the weighted-average trading price of the common shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is provided is not less than 125 percent of the conversion price (or C$17.55 per common share). The conversion price of the convertible debentures will adjust for any amounts paid out as dividends on the common shares of the Company, provided that the dividend payment causes the conversion price to change by 1% or more. Interest of 6% is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30. At maturity or redemption, the Company has the option to settle all or any portion of principal obligations by delivering to the debenture holders sufficient common shares to satisfy these obligations.

In Egypt, DD&A increased 18% and 22% on a per Bbl basis in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2014. This increase is mostly due to a lower reserve base over which to deplete costs in Egypt.
In Yemen, no DD&A expense was recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the fact that the Company wrote its Yemen assets down to nil on the 2014 year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet. In January 2015, the Company relinquished its interests in Block 32 (13.81% working interest) and Block 72 (20% working interest) in Yemen (effective March 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015, respectively) due to ongoing political and tribal turmoil in the vicinity of the blocks. The Company has retained its 25% working interest in Block S-1 and Block 75 and reclassified the Block S-1 reserves to contingent resources.

In Egypt, total capital expenditures in the first six months of 2015 were $36.3 million (2014 - $30.4 million). During the first half of the year, the Company drilled five wells in Egypt (three at NWG, one at West Bakr and one at West Gharib). All drilling activity took place in the first quarter of the year. No wells were drilled during the second quarter and the Company has no plans for any further drilling activities for the remainder of the year. Year-to-date, the Company has spent $14.2 million on seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation, all of which has been capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets. The largest contributor to seismic costs during the year has been the South Ghazalat 3-D acquisition, which was under budget at $12.9 million. The Company has expended $1.7 million on facilities construction and improvements, and has capitalized $3.5 million of G&A costs related to capital projects.
The Company paid a signing bonus in the amount of $2.0 million upon ratification of the NW Sitra concession agreement, which has been capitalized as an intangible exploration and evaluation asset.


OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As at June 30, 2015, the Company had 73,039,171 common shares issued and outstanding and 5,858,400 stock options issued and outstanding, which are exercisable in accordance with their terms into a maximum of 5,858,400 common shares of the Company.
NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
On March 25, 2015, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") accepted the Company's notice of intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") for its common shares. Under the NCIB, the Company may acquire up to 6,207,585 common shares, which is equal to 10% of the public float. The NCIB commenced on March 31, 2015, and will terminate on March 30, 2016 or such earlier date on which TransGlobe completes its purchases of common shares under the NCIB or terminates the NCIB at its option. The maximum number of common shares that may be acquired by the Company during the same trading day is 89,289, which is equal to 25% of the Company's average daily trading volume of 357,159 for the previous six completed calendar months, subject to the Company's ability to make one block purchase of common shares per calendar week that exceeds such limit. All shares acquired will be cancelled.
The Company has entered into an automatic share purchase plan with a broker in order to facilitate the repurchase of its common shares. Under the Company's automatic share purchase plan, the Company's broker may repurchase shares under the NCIB during the Company's self-imposed blackout periods. The automatic share purchase plan has been approved by the TSX and will be implemented for a six month term effective March 31, 2015.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 2,269,990 common shares. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company repurchased an additional 833,802 common shares.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity describes a company’s ability to access cash. Companies operating in the upstream oil and gas industry require sufficient cash in order to fund capital programs necessary to maintain and increase production and reserves, to acquire strategic oil and gas assets and to repay debt. TransGlobe’s capital programs are funded principally by cash provided from operating activities. A key measure that TransGlobe uses to evaluate the Company’s overall financial strength is debt-to-funds flow from operations (calculated on a 12-month trailing basis). TransGlobe’s debt-to-funds flow from operations ratio, a key short-term leverage measure, remained strong at 1.5 times at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - 0.6). TransGlobe's debt-to-funds flow ratio has deteriorated in the first half of 2015, and is expected to deteriorate further in the second half of the year, as a result of a lower oil price environment. Despite the deterioration of this particular ratio, the Company remains in a strong financial position due to prudent capital resource management. TransGlobe's management will continue to steward capital programs, focus on cost reductions and maintain a strong balance sheet through 2015 and beyond.

1 Funds flow from operations is a measure that represents cash generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital.
Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. At June 30, 2015, the Company had working capital of $178.7 million (December 31, 2014 - $229.7 million). The decrease to working capital in Q2-2015 is principally due to reduced oil prices. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from EGPC, and the economic challenges in the country increased EGPC's credit risk, which in turn increased the Company’s credit risk. The Company expects to recover the entire accounts receivable balance in full. The Company collected a total of $45.3 million from EGPC during the first half of 2015, which reduced the receivable balance to $72.8 million at quarter-end. In December 2014, the Company negotiated an arrangement with EGPC to begin marketing its entitlement barrels from the Eastern Desert on a go-forward basis. The Company has completed two direct sales of crude oil to a third party buyer during the first half of 2015. The Company anticipates that this direct marketing will reduce or eliminate any future issues regarding collections on receivables for oil sales, and will significantly reduce the Company's credit risk on a go-forward basis.
To date, the Company has experienced no difficulties with transferring funds abroad.
At June 30, 2015, TransGlobe had $71.0 million available under a Borrowing Base Facility of which no amounts were drawn, however, the Company was utilizing $58.6 million in the form of letters of credit primarily to support its work commitments under the Egyptian PSCs signed in 2013.

Q2-2015

The Company is subject to certain office and equipment leases.
Pursuant to the PSC for North West Gharib in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $35.0 million ($9.7 million remaining) and a work commitment for 30 wells and 200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial-three year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $25.3 million towards meeting that commitment.
Pursuant to the PSC for South East Gharib in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $7.5 million ($2.3 million remaining)and a work commitment for two wells, 200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic and 300 kilometers of 2-D seismic during the initial three-year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $5.2 million towards meeting that commitment.
Pursuant to the PSC for South West Gharib in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $10.0 million ($5.1 million remaining)and a work commitment for four wells and 200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial three-year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $4.9 million towards meeting that commitment.

Pursuant to the PSC for South Ghazalat in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $8.0 million and a work commitment for two wells and 400 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial three-year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had met its financial commitment.
Pursuant to the PSC for North West Sitra in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $10.0 million ($9.9 million remaining) and a work commitment for two wells and 300 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial three and a half year exploration period, which commenced on January 8, 2015. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $0.1 million towards meeting that commitment.
In the normal course of its operations, the Company may be subject to litigations and claims. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.
The Company is not aware of any material provisions or other contingent liabilities as at June 30, 2015.
DERIVATIVE COMMODITY CONTRACTS
The Company’s operational results and financial condition are dependent on the commodity prices received for its oil production. TransGlobe uses hedging arrangements from time to time as part of its risk management strategy to manage commodity price fluctuations and stabilize cash flows for future exploration and development programs.
In Q1-2015, the Company purchased a financial floor derivative commodity contract at a cost of $0.7 million to protect the pricing received on its first direct crude sale to a third party buyer. The cost of this contract has been presented as a realized loss on derivative commodity contracts in this interim report. No derivative commodity contracts were purchased during Q2-2015. As there were no outstanding derivative commodity contracts at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, no assets or liabilities have been recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the respective periods.
The use of derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors.


INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
TransGlobe's management designed and implemented internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, of the Canadian Securities Administrators and as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal controls over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS, focusing in particular on controls over information contained in the annual and interim financial statements. Due to its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A system of internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal controls over financial reporting are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
No changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
(Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
TransGlobe Energy Corporation is a publicly listed company incorporated in Alberta, Canada and its shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and NASDAQ Exchange (“NASDAQ”). The address of its registered office is 2300, 250 – 5th Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 0R4. TransGlobe Energy Corporation together with its subsidiaries (“TransGlobe” or the “Company”) is engaged primarily in oil exploration, development and production and the acquisition of properties.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) effective as of June 30, 2015. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not contain all the disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2015.
Basis of measurement
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were the same as those used in the preparation of the most recent Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The Company prepared these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for cash and cash equivalents and convertible debentures that have been measured at fair value.
Functional and presentation currency
In these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are presented and expressed in United States (U.S.) dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All references to $ are to United States dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as assets at fair value through profit or loss and its convertible debentures as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which are both measured at fair value with changes being recognized through earnings. Accounts receivable and restricted cash are classified as loans and receivables; accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt are classified as other liabilities, all of which are measured initially at fair value, then at amortized cost after initial recognition.
Carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

Assets and liabilities at June 30, 2015 that are measured at fair value are classified into levels reflecting the method used to make the measurements. Fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and convertible debentures are assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above. TransGlobe’s cash and cash equivalents and convertible debentures are classified as Level 1. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy level. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy in the period.


Q2-2015
 
23

 


Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if the counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily relates to cash equivalents and accounts receivable, the majority of which are in respect of oil operations. The Company generally extends unsecured credit to these parties and therefore the collection of these amounts may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company has not experienced any material credit losses in the collection of accounts receivable to date.
Trade and other receivables are analyzed in the table below. The majority of these receivables are due from the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation ("EGPC"). The political transition and resultant economic malaise in the country that began in 2011 has resulted in irregular collection of accounts receivable from EGPC and generally a larger receivable balance, which has increased TransGlobe's credit risk. Despite these factors, the Company expects to collect in full all outstanding receivables.
In January 2015, TransGlobe began direct sales of Eastern Desert entitlement production to international buyers. The Company completed its second direct crude sale to a third party buyer during the second quarter of 2015. Going forward, the Company anticipates that direct sales will continue to reduce outstanding accounts receivable and credit risk in future periods.

The Borrowing Base Facility has a term that extends to December 31, 2017, and is secured by a pledge over certain bank accounts, a pledge over the Company’s subsidiaries and a fixed and floating charge over certain assets. The credit facility bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 5.0% to 5.5% and is dependent on the amount drawn. The Company incurs standby interest charges on amounts available but not drawn under the Borrowing Base Facility, which significantly impacts the effective interest rate in periods when there are small or no borrowings under the facility. The amount of the Borrowing Base may fluctuate over time and is determined principally by the net present value of the Company’s Proved and Probable reserves over the term of the Borrowing Base Facility, up to a pre-defined commitment amount which is subject to pre-determined semi-annual reductions in accordance with the terms of the Borrowing Base Facility. Accordingly, for each balance sheet date, the timing of repayment is estimated based on the most recent redetermination of the Borrowing Base and repayment schedules may change in future periods.
Deferred financing costs related to the Borrowing Base Facility have been presented as an asset on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets as at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 since there were no amounts drawn on the Borrowing Base Facility as at these dates. Deferred financing costs are amortized based on the borrowing capacity available in the Borrowing Base Facility.

In February 2012, the Company sold, on a bought-deal basis, C$97.8 million ($97.9 million) aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a maturity date of March 31, 2017. The debentures are convertible at any time and from time to time into common shares of the Company at a price of C$14.04 per common share. The debentures are not redeemable by the Company on or before March 31, 2015 other than in limited circumstances in connection with a change of control of TransGlobe. After March 31, 2015 and prior to March 31, 2017, the debentures may be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the weighted-average trading price of the common shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is provided is not less than 125 percent of the conversion price (or C$17.55 per common share). The conversion price of the convertible debentures will adjust for any amounts paid out as dividends on the common shares of the Company, provided that the dividend payment causes the conversion price to change by 1% or more. Interest of 6% is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30. At maturity or redemption, the Company has the option to settle all or any portion of principal obligations by delivering to the debenture holders sufficient common shares to satisfy these obligations.
The convertible debentures are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, and as such are measured at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. Fair value is determined based on market price quotes from the exchange on which the convertible debentures are traded as at the period end date. As at June 30, 2015 the convertible debentures were trading at a price of C$94.97 for a C$100.00 par value debenture. This represents an increase of $12.97 since December 31, 2014, and as a result the Company has recognized a net expense of $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to certain office and equipment leases.
Pursuant to the PSC for North West Gharib in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $35.0 million ($9.7 million remaining) and a work commitment for 30 wells and 200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial-three year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $25.3 million towards meeting that commitment.
Pursuant to the PSC for South East Gharib in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $7.5 million ($2.3 million remaining)and a work commitment for two wells, 200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic and 300 kilometers of 2-D seismic during the initial three-year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $5.2 million towards meeting that commitment.
Pursuant to the PSC for South West Gharib in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $10.0 million ($5.1 million remaining)and a work commitment for four wells and 200 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial three-year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $4.9 million towards meeting that commitment.

Pursuant to the PSC for South Ghazalat in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $8.0 million and a work commitment for two wells and 400 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial three-year exploration period, which commenced on November 7, 2013. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had met its financial commitment.
Pursuant to the PSC for North West Sitra in Egypt, the Company had a minimum financial commitment of $10.0 million ($9.9 million remaining) and a work commitment for two wells and 300 square kilometers of 3-D seismic during the initial three and a half year exploration period, which commenced on January 8, 2015. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $0.1 million towards meeting that commitment.
In the normal course of its operations, the Company may be subject to litigations and claims. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.
The Company is not aware of any material provisions or other contingent liabilities as at June 30, 2015.

On March 25, 2015, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") accepted the Company's notice of intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") for its common shares. Under the NCIB, the Company may acquire up to 6,207,585 common shares, which is equal to 10% of the public float. The NCIB commenced on March 31, 2015, and will terminate on March 30, 2016 or such earlier date on which TransGlobe completes its purchases of common shares under the NCIB or terminates the NCIB at its option.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 2,269,990 common shares. All common shares acquired were cancelled and the cost of shares repurchased (including transaction costs) was applied directly against share capital. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company repurchased an additional 833,802 common shares.
15. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Stock option plan
The Company operates a stock option plan to provide equity-settled share-based remuneration to directors, officers and employees. The number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options awarded under the stock option plan and all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the Company is 10% of the common shares outstanding from time to time. All incentive stock options granted under the Plan have a per-share exercise price equal to the weighted average trading price of the common shares for the five trading days prior to the date of grant. Each tranche of an award with different vesting dates is considered a separate grant for the calculation of fair value and the resulting fair value is amortized over the vesting period of the respective tranches.
The following table summarizes information about the stock options outstanding and exercisable at the dates indicated:

Compensation expense of $1.3 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Changes in Shareholders’ Equity during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 (2014 - $2.1 million) in respect of equity-settled share-based payment transactions. The fair value of all common stock options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the lattice-based trinomial option pricing model.
All options granted vest annually over a three-year period and expire five years after the grant date. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, employees exercised 70,000 (2014 – 332,000) stock options. The fair value related to these options was $0.1 million, (2014 - $0.6 million) at time of grant and has been transferred from contributed surplus to share capital. As at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the entire balance in contributed surplus was related to previously recognized share-based compensation expense on equity-settled stock options.
Restricted share unit, performance share unit and deferred share unit plans
In May 2014, the Company implemented a restricted share unit ("RSU") plan, a performance share unit ("PSU") plan and a deferred share unit ("DSU") plan. RSUs may be issued to directors, officers and employees of the Company, and each RSU entitles the holder to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a TransGlobe common share on the vesting date of the RSU. All RSUs granted vest annually over a three-year period, and all must be settled within 30 days of their respective vesting dates.

Q2-2015
 
27

 


PSUs are similar to RSUs, except that the number of PSUs that ultimately vest is dependent on achieving certain performance targets and objectives as set by the board of directors. Depending on performance, vested PSUs can range between 50% and 150% of the original PSU grant. All PSUs granted vest on the third anniversary of their grant date, and all must be settled within 60 days of their vesting dates.
DSUs are similar to RSUs, except that they become fully vested on the date of grant and may only be issued to directors of the Company. Distributions under the DSU plan do not occur until the retirement of the DSU holder from the Company's board of directors.
The number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs outstanding as at June 30, 2015 is as follows:

Compensation expense of $1.3 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Changes in Shareholders' Equity during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 (2014 - $0.7 million) in respect of share units granted under the three plans described above. The expense related to the share units granted under these plans is measured at fair value using the lattice-based trinomial pricing model and is recognized over the vesting period, with a corresponding liability recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet. Until the liability is ultimately settled, it is re-measured at each reporting date with changes to fair value recognized in earnings.
16. PER SHARE AMOUNTS

In determining diluted earnings per share, the Company assumes that the proceeds received from the exercise of “in-the-money” stock options are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price. In calculating the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company excluded 4,834,400 and 5,858,400 stock options (20144,466,700 and 4,201,700, respectively) as their exercise price was greater than the average common share market price in the respective periods.
The convertible debentures are dilutive in any period in which earnings per share is reduced by the effect of adjusting net earnings for the impact of the convertible debentures, and adjusting the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the potential shares issuable on conversion of the convertible debentures. The convertible debentures were not dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or June 30, 2014.
17. DIVIDENDS
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, TransGlobe paid cash dividends as follows:

The actual amount of future quarterly dividends will be proposed by management and subject to the approval and discretion of the Board. The Board reviews proposed dividend payments in conjunction with their review of quarterly financial and operating results. Future dividend levels will be dependent upon economic factors including commodity prices, capital expenditure programs and production volumes, and will be evaluated regularly to ensure that dividend payments do not compromise the strong financial position or the growth of the Company.

18. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable operating segments: the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Republic of Yemen. The Company, through its operating segments, is engaged primarily in oil exploration, development and production and the acquisition of properties.
In presenting information on the basis of operating segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of assets which is also consistent with the location of the segment customers. Segmented assets are also based on the geographical location of the assets. There are no inter-segment sales.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Company’s accounting policies.
