InterOil Announces 2012 Q3 financial and operating results


PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea and HOUSTON, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- InterOil Corporation (NYSE:IOC) (POMSoX:IOC) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 and also certain recent developments.

Third Quarter 2012 Highlights and Recent Developments
  • Net profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $5.3 million.  Operating segments of Corporate, Midstream Refining and Downstream collectively derived a net profit for the quarter of $16.8 million, while the investments in the development segments of Upstream and Midstream Liquefaction resulted in a net loss of $11.5 million.
  • After successfully running and cementing 13 3/8 inch casing at 3,632 feet (1,107 meters) at Antelope-3, InterOil's rig 2 has drilled the well to a depth of 5,013 feet (1,528 meters). Forward plan is to drill to the top of the Antelope reservoir estimated at 5,545 feet (1,690 meters) and then continue on to total depth of 8,366 feet (2,550 meters), followed by wireline logging, rotary sidewall coring and drill stem testing.
  • Rig 3 is being mobilized to the Elk-3 drilling location. With access roads from both the north and the south and a central upstream development camp in place, InterOil is set to begin drilling the second of two obligation wells in Petroleum Retention License (PRL) 15. The Company's Tuna and Wahoo/Mako prospects, targeting seismically defined reefal indications, in PPLs 236 and 238 have matured to the drill ready stage and preparations to access to the proposed drilling locations are underway.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, on October 16, 2012, the Company entered into a five year amortizing $100 million secured term loan facility with BNP Paribas Singapore, Bank South Pacific Limited, and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) Limited which was used to repay indebtedness under the OPIC loan, with the remaining amount to be used for general corporate purposes.  The loan is secured by the assets of the refinery and bears interest at LIBOR plus 6.5%.
InterOil's Chief Executive Officer Phil Mulacek commented, "We are pleased with the progress in our negotiations with the Government of PNG related to our proposal to develop a 3.8 million tonne per annum LNG project in the Gulf Province."
As to the Antelope-3 well, Mr. Mulacek noted that, "We are very encouraged by the progress in drilling the Antelope-3 well to near the top of the reservoir. This well is expected to further appraise our resourses.
"Our prospect inventory is maturing and we anticipate that it will support our goal of a multi-year, multi-well exploration program.  We believe that these achievements, combined with our strong balance sheet, support our continued growth and operational success."

Corporate Financial Results
Net profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $5.3 million compared with a net loss of $19.8 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $25.1 million.  Operating segments of Corporate, Midstream Refining and Downstream collectively derived a net profit for the quarter of $16.8 million, while the investments in the development segments of Upstream and Midstream Liquefaction resulted in a net loss of $11.5 million during the quarter.
The improvement in net profit for the quarter was mainly due to a $29.4 million increase in gross margin attributable to the positive crude oil and refined product price movements during the quarter and higher margins from export cargos, among other items.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was a gain of $19.0 million versus a loss of $11.5 million for the same period in 2011.
Total revenues increased by $45.0 million from $281.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $326.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to higher sales volumes during the period. The total volume of all products sold by us was 2.2 million barrels for quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared with 1.8 million barrels in the same quarter of 2011.

Business Segment Results as of September 30, 2012
Upstream - On July 27, 2012, InterOil executed a farm in agreement with Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. ("PRE") for PRE to be able to earn a 10.0% net (12.9% gross) participating interest in the PPL 237 onshore Papua New Guinea, including the Triceratops structure located within that license.  Rig release from the Triceratops-2 well was received from PNG Department of Petroleum & Energy on August 13, 2012.  The Triceratops-2 well has been suspended as a new discovery for recompletion at a later date as a future production well.  Demobilization of Rig 2 began immediately for relocation to the Antelope-3 location.  As of September 30, 2012, PRE has paid $40.0 million of the $116 million of staged up-front cash payments. Planning of new seismic and drilling location is in progress, and will be finalized once the remapping is complete.
The Antelope-3 well was spud on September 30, 2012. Subsequent to the quarter end, the well was drilled to a depth of 3,642 feet, (1,110 meters), at which depth the 13 ¾ inch casing was set and cemented. Following which, drilling resumed with a 12 ¼ inch bit to the current depth of 5,013 feet (1,528 meters). Forward plan is to drill to the top of the Antelope reservoir estimated at 5,545 feet (1,690 meters), set the second casing string and then continue on to total depth of 8,366 feet (2,550 meters), followed by wireline logging, rotary sidewall coring and drill stem testing.
Pre-spud preparation at the Elk-3 delineation well site is nearing completion. We have begun mobilization of our Rig 3 to the field. All components of Rig 3 have shipped out of Port Moresby by barge to Hou Creek. The objective of the Elk-3 delineation well is to test the Early Miocene to Late Oligocene limestone section above the gas water contact in the Elk fault block.  The Early Miocene to Late Oligocene interval in the Elk-2 well was comprised of shallow marine and reefoid facies below the gas water contact.  This lower interval exhibited better porosity and permeability than the shallower facies penetrated in the upper reservoir.
Our Hou Creek northern wharf and field access roadway are progressing to completion, and a permanent camp location is under construction. The wharf and crane are functioning and ready to accept materials and equipment. InterOil has also completed the upstream field development camp near the Antelope-3 wellsite and drilling crews are utilizing those accommodations.
InterOil's Upstream business realized a net loss of $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss of $15.1 million in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in the loss in 2012 was mainly due to reduced exploration costs incurred for seismic activity coupled with an increase in gain on the sale of oil and gas properties due to the gain recognized on sale of interest in PPL 237 to PRE. The positive variance was partially offset by higher interest expense due to an increase in inter-company loan balances.

Midstream Refining – Total refinery throughput for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 23,980 barrels per operating day, compared with 23,797 barrels per operating day during quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Capacity utilization of the refinery for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, based on 36,500 barrels per day operating capacity, was 61% compared with 56% for the same quarter in 2011.  During the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our refinery was shut down for 9 days and 15 days, respectively, for general maintenance activities.
Subsequent to quarter end, on October 16, 2012, the Company entered into a five year amortizing $100 million secured term loan facility with BNP Paribas Singapore, Bank South Pacific Limited, and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) Limited.  On November 9, 2012, borrowings under the facility were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the term loan granted by OPIC and the remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.  The loan is secured by the assets of the refinery and bears interest at LIBOR plus 6.5%.
The Company's Midstream Refining operations generated a net profit of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 versus a loss of $1.2 million in the prior year period. The positive variance is largely due to an improvement in gross margin resulting from improved crude oil and refined product prices, which were partially offset by higher derivative losses incurred for commodity contracts settled during the periods, a decrease in foreign exchange gains and increased income tax expense.

Midstream Liquefaction – Following receipt of the required PNG Government approvals, InterOil believes it will be able to conclude the LNG partnering process. We have made significant progress with FEED engineering studies, construction of roads and camps, social mapping and genealogical studies, which will assist in the partnering and execution of the project.
The Company's Midstream Liquefaction business generated a net loss of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared with a loss of $4.0 million in the same period a year ago. The positive variance is largely due to a decrease in office, administration and other expenses related to the midstream facilities of the LNG Project development which are not capitalized.

Downstream - Total Downstream sales volumes for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were 185.0 million litres, an increase of 22.5 million litres, or 13.8%, over the same quarter in 2011.
We believe that the PNG economy remains strong with continued robust activity in the resource sector although this is tempered by certain construction projects for the ExxonMobil LNG project now nearing an end.  For this reason and with the completion of many construction projects in the commercial office and residential sectors, it is believed that demands will flatten in the short term for diesel and jet A1.
Our retail business sector continues to grow with the roll out of new electronic systems for our retail pumps and truck stops, and it is our intention to start operating our first retail site during the fourth quarter 2012.
InterOil's Downstream operations generated a net profit of $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, an improvement of $4.5 million versus a profit of $1.1 million in the previous year.  The positive variance is largely due to an increase in gross margins mainly due to an increase in domestic sales volumes, which was partially offset by reduced foreign exchange gains and increased income tax expense.

Corporate – The Corporate segment generated a net profit of $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million in the same period of 2011. The positive variance is largely the result of a decreased loss on FLEX LNG investment, a decrease in office and administration expense, and higher interest income, which was partially offset by a decrease in inter-segment recharges.

See accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements
NON-GAAP EBITDA Reconciliation EBITDA represents our net income/(loss) plus total interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense.  EBITDA is used by us to analyze operating performance.  EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP (i.e., IFRS) and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies.  The items excluded from EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results.  Therefore, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, operating profit, net cash provided from operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.  Further, EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow under IFRS and should not be considered as such.  For reconciliation of EBITDA to the net income (loss) under IFRS, refer to the following table.
The following table reconciles net income (loss), a GAAP measure, to EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure for each of the last eight quarters.
