Seplat Energy: 9M24 results – Quarterly dividend hiked 20%

Seplat continued to deliver a strong operating performance in FY24 with 9M24 underlying revenue up 6% on roughly flat production. That was reflected in cash generation, with a further significant reduction in net debt to US$270m. ANOH start-up has been delayed to 1H25 but this is far outweighed by Ministerial consent for the transformational MPNU transaction which is now progressing towards completion. Production guidance was narrowed to 46kboed-50kboed with an unchanged mid-point of 48kboed and...

Q12024  Seplat Unaudited Financial Result | Elevated Tax Expense Drive...

Elevated Tax Expense Drives Net LossIn Q1:2024, Seplat Energy’s revenue grew by a remarkable 76.73% year-on-year (YoY) to reach NGN268.62bn. This exceptional performance was fueled by substantial growth in both crude oil (up 64.72% YoY) and gas (up 184.84 % YoY) revenue streams. Average production slowed down by 4.8% YoY to 49,258 barrels of oil and equivalent per day (boepd) compared to 51,720 boepd. However, higher oil (USD86.17pb in Q1:2024 vs USD82.32pb in Q1:2023) and gas (USD3.11/Mscf in Q...

Seplat Energy: 1Q24 results - operations strong, financials skewed

Seplat delivered an encouraging operating performance in 1Q24 including production of 49.3kboed, towards the upper end of guidance (44-52kboed). All current guidance was maintained but good progress on the ANOH export infrastructure and an earlier than expected resumption of exports through Zone 6 of the Trans Niger Pipeline improve confidence that guidance will be at least met. Financial performance for the quarter was skewed by a substantial underlift, FX effects, and a high deferred tax charg...

EM Credit Spark/EM credit weekly

EM credit markets continue to hold up well amid the challenging macro backdrop, with some more optimism building around the higher-yielding portion of the market. With valuations fairly tight on the whole, we expect more positive technical tailwinds, such as a return of inflows to the asset class, will be needed for spreads to tighten further. Key topics: • EM Credit: Weekly review. • Egypt surges amid foreign investment from UAE. • CEEMEA corporates: Brief review of key events: ENGPRO, KZO...

Seplat Energy - Research Update - Valuation Catalysts

We believe Seplat has multiple catalysts for value uplift which remain poorly understood despite the share price outperformance this year. Based on new modelling, we provide detailed insights into these catalysts. Most certain are improved operational reliability and the start-up of the ANOH gas project. Completion of the MPNU acquisition and conversion to the new PIA terms could be transformative while enhanced corporate governance and the improved outlook for Nigeria add supportive context. Se...

Seplat reported FY22 net income of $104.7m with adjusted EBITDA up 12.1% YoY to $416.9m and debt cut to $365.9m, despite payment of $140m in transaction deposits. That enabled the Board to announce a US$0.05c special dividend taking the total for the year to $0.15 representing a yield of 11%. Seplat experienced a difficult year operationally which held back the results, nevertheless the strong cash performance saw debt cut and enabled the payment of a $0.05 special dividend. Export resilience ha...

Seplat Energy - Q3 Results Update

In Q3 Seplat suffered from an unusually elevated level of evacuation problems, but these issues have all been addressed in time for Q4, and it is guiding strong exit production (55kboepd), at the very top end of its prior FY guidance range. As such, we expect this to be a bump in the road from which the company has already recovered, but which will leave a mark on the FY results – albeit one that is more than offset by improved oil prices, with 9M22 revenue up 34.4% at an average price of $108....

Seplat: Crude oil theft erodes earnings

Seplat Energy reported a pre-tax loss in Q3 of US$24mn – the first quarterly loss since the oil price crash at the start of Covid in 2020 and, before that, the militant attacks in 2016/17. This time around, the poor result can be attributed to the oil thefts that have forced oil operators to declare force majeure. The Nigerian government has taken numerous steps to put a stop to the thefts, which drove the country's oil production to under 1mn barrels per day (mbpd) in August – lower than the...

Seplat caught in the middle of shaky IOC exits

The past two weeks have been a rollercoaster for Seplat that has begun to weigh on the company's share price, which has dropped 4% in the London listing and 9% in Nigeria (the bulk of which occurred yesterday). On August 8, the President (who is also the Minister of Petroleum) approved Seplat's acquisition of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU), which is an oil major (or IOC – International Oil Companies). But this was repealed by the regulator soon after, and the President also withdrew...
