PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk : MedcoEnergi Announces First Semester 2023 Results

Jakarta, 2 October 2023 - PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk announces its audited first semester 2023 results.

Roberto Lorato, CEO, said, "First half 2023 performance was robust with increased gas volumes and the Natuna Bronang platform placed into service. Oil prices were 30% lower year-on-year, but have since recovered. The IPO of AMMN in July was a great success and exports have now been accelerated to make up for the delays in the first half."

Financial Highlights

• Net Profit US$119 million and EBITDA US$634 million. First half results were lower year-on-year due to the lower contribution from AMMN and lower realized oil and gas prices, partially offset by higher volumes.
• Medco share of AMMN net profit was US$27 million, down by US$103 million from the first half of 2022. This was due to a four-month deferral in copper and gold sales following a delay in renewing AMMN's export permit. AMMN continued operations during the delay and restarted exports in July.
• Oil & Gas production was 162 mboepd, up 6% year-on-year. However average Oil & Gas prices were US$75.2/bbl and US$7.2/mmbtu respectively, down US$29.1/bbl year-on-year from the US$104.4/bbl in 2022.
• Capital expenditures were US$127 million, spent mainly on progressing the Natuna, Corridor and Ijen developments.
• Cash and equivalents were US$604 million, Net Debt US$2.5 billion and Net Debt to EBITDA¹ 1.8x.
• Medco distributed a 2022 dividend of ~IDR39 per share and is on track to fully repay the US$850 million Corridor acquisition debt by Q1 2024.
