Pieridae Energy Limited (“Pieridae” or the “Company”)
(PEA.TO) announces the release of its fourth quarter
and full year 2022 financial and operating results and year end
2022 reserves. Pieridae generated Net Operating Income (“NOI”)1 of
$201 million and made term debt principal repayments totalling $48
million during 2022.
In addition, the Company filed its Annual
Information Form ("AIF") for the year ended December 31,
2022 containing Pieridae's 2022 independent oil and natural
reserves evaluation as required under National Instrument 51-101
Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities (“NI51-101”).
Pieridae’s 2022 NI51-101 reserve report is highlighted by an 89%
increase in Proved Developed Producing (“PDP”) PV10 value to $807
million and 52% increase in Total Proved plus Probable (“TPP”) PV10
value to $1,526 million.
Pieridae’s AIF, management’s discussion and
analysis (“MD&A”) and audited consolidated financial statements
and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 are available at

HIGHLIGHTS
Q4 2022
- Generated record
quarterly NOI1 of $67.7 million ($0.43 per basic and $0.42 per
fully diluted share) up 120% from $30.8 million ($0.20 per basic
and fully diluted share) in Q4 2021, as a result of strong natural
gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) prices;
- Generated Funds
Flow from Operations1 of $57.6 million ($0.36 per basic and $0.35
per fully diluted share), up 365% from $12.4 million ($0.08 per
basic and fully diluted share) in Q4 2021;
- Generated Net
income of $114.7 million ($0.72 per basic and $0.70 per fully
diluted share), compared to $4.7 million ($0.03 per basic and fully
diluted share) in Q4 2021;
-
Produced 34,715 boe/d (86% natural gas) down 16% from 41,304 boe/d
in 2021, due primarily to the previously discussed re-injection of
ethane volumes into the natural gas sales stream and an unplanned
outage at the Caroline gas plant in Central Alberta, which has
subsequently been repaired;
-
Repaid $10.7 million of the senior secured term loan (including the
net impact of interest paid in kind “PIK”), reducing the amount due
at maturity to $217.1 million2 at year end; and
-
Commenced winter drilling program in October, spudding the
Company’s first Foothills well (02/6-35-44-18W5, “6-35”) targeting
the Ostracod formation in the Brown Creek area of Central
Alberta.
Full Year 2022
- Generated Record
annual NOI1 of $201.0 million ($1.27 per basic and $1.25 per fully
diluted share) up 139% from $84.1 million ($0.53 per basic and
fully diluted share) in 2021, primarily as a result of strong
natural gas and NGL prices;
- Generated Funds
Flow from Operations1 of $153.7 million ($0.97 per basic and $0.95
per fully diluted share), up 658% from $20.3 million ($0.13 per
basic and fully diluted share) in 2021;
- Generated Net
income of $146.7 million ($0.93 per basic and $0.91 per fully
diluted share), compared to a net loss of $39.8 million (-$0.25 per
basic and fully diluted share) in 2021;
-
Produced 36,868 boe/d (82% natural gas) down 9% from 40,562 boe/d
in 2021, due to the previously discussed re-injection of ethane
volumes into the natural gas sales stream and natural production
declines;
-
Reduced term debt principal by $48.3 million (including the net
impact of PIK) during 2022 and reduced the adjusted working capital
deficit3 by $50.3 million during 2022, primarily through reduction
in accounts payable which totaled $22.6 million at year end 2022
compared to $74.7 million at year end 2021;
-
Recorded 2022 NI51-101 PDP reserves of 126.8 MMboe, down 3% from
131.3 MMboe at year end 2021 with year over year increase of 89% in
PDP PV10 reserve value to $807 million at January 1, 2023 evaluator
consensus (“IC4”) pricing; and
-
Recorded 2022 NI51-101 TPP reserves of 289.1 MMboe, up 7% from
269.2 MMboe at year end 2021 with year over year increase of 52% in
TPP PV10 reserve value to $1,526 million at January 1, 2023 IC4
pricing.
Subsequent to Year End
-
Repaid an additional $27 million of term debt.
- Completed
drilling our first Brown Creek well (6-35) in Central Alberta in
February 2023. The well was completed and temporarily tied-in to
existing production infrastructure in March 2023 and is currently
being flow-tested with production sold into the TC Energy (NGTL)
sales gas system. After flowing continuously for 90.5 hours on
test, this 100% working interest well was producing sweet natural
gas through 60.3mm production tubing at a downhole-choked flow rate
of 6.8 MMcf/d and a restricted flowing wellhead tubing pressure of
11.1 MPa (corresponding shut-in casing pressure of 17.1 MPa). At
the conclusion of the anticipated 7-day flow test, 6-35 will be
shut-in for an extended pressure build-up, during which the well
will be permanently tied-in to the existing on-lease gas gathering
system.
-
Drilling also commenced on a second Brown Creek well in February
2023, with completion expected by April 2023; and
-
Terminated the previously announced NE BC disposition transaction
as the purchaser failed to meet the required closing conditions,
following multiple extensions. The Company has retained a
non-refundable deposit and will continue to market the NE BC
property.
“Pieridae put up a very good result in the
fourth quarter, punctuating a transformational year for the
Company,” said Pieridae’s Chief Executive Officer, Alfred Sorensen.
“Strong gas and liquids pricing drove record funds flow in Q4,
offsetting lower production, due in part, to an unplanned outage at
our Caroline plant which the team has since repaired. 2022 saw the
Company commence drilling our extensive inventory of high-impact
Foothills development locations and make progress on our path to
de-levering the balance sheet, all while operating our assets in a
safe, responsible and effective manner. Our disciplined hedging
strategy continues to mitigate commodity price volatility and is
offsetting the impact of lower AECO gas prices through the first
quarter of 2023. I’d like to thank all Pieridae shareholders,
lenders, employees and the communities in which we operate, for
their ongoing interest and support.”
1 Refer to the “non-GAAP measures” section of
the Company’s 2022 MD&A.2 Includes the $50 million non
interest-bearing deferred fee due at maturity, A portion of this
fee, closing fees and other amounts remain to be accreted to the
term debt value. 3 Adjusted working capital is calculated as
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, less cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and
deposits.

(1) Total production excludes
sulphur.Production in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased 16%
compared to Q4 2021 due in part to a December unplanned shut-in
required to complete sulphur condenser repairs at the Company’s
Caroline gas processing facility which suffered an upset in its
sulphur recovery unit (2,500 boe/d). Other factors impacting fourth
quarter production included pipeline inspections (680 boe/d),
unseasonably cold weather which caused freeze-ups and run time
restrictions at gas plants (1,500 boe/d) and ongoing ethane
reinjection into the natural gas sales stream (1,900 boe/d). During
2022, average production decreased 9% compared to 2021 as a result
of ethane reinjection and natural production declines.

(1) Netback per boe is a “non-GAAP measure”.
Management considers operating netback an important measure to
evaluate the Company’s operational performance as it demonstrates
Pieridae’s field level profitability relative to current commodity
prices. Operating netback equals revenue less royalties, operating
expenses and transportation expenses calculated on a per BOE
basis.

Pieridae will continue to hedge to mitigate
commodity price volatility and protect the cash flow required to
fund the Company’s facility maintenance capital requirements, debt
service obligations and capital development program while allowing
the Company to participate in future commodity price upside.
2023 OUTLOOK AND REVISED
GUIDANCE
North American natural gas prices have sharply
fallen off during the first quarter of 2023 as a result of the
warmer than expected winter, high storage levels and constrained
North American natural gas export capacity. AECO prices have
averaged $3.13/GJ year to date in 2023, compared to $4.93/GJ in the
fourth quarter of 2022. This price shock is largely mitigated
during the first quarter by the Company’s natural gas hedges
(129,767 GJ/d protected at $5.78/GJ). However, if depressed AECO
prices continue or fall further as we enter the summer, 2023 NOI
and funds flow from operations will be materially impacted.
As a result, management has revised annual NOI
and netback guidance to reflect a lower commodity price forecast
for the remainder of the year and is planning to defer certain
expenditures into 2024, including investigating deferral of the
maintenance turnaround at Waterton, which has been reflected in
this revised guidance.

Forward-Looking
StatementsCertain statements contained herein may
constitute "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws
(collectively "forward-looking statements"). Words such as "may",
"will", "should", "could", "anticipate", "believe", "expect",
"intend", "plan", "potential", "continue", "shall", "estimate",
"expect", "propose", "might", "project", "predict", "forecast" and
similar expressions may be used to identify these forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking statements involve significant
risk and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, risks
associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation,
production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets,
volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision
of resources estimates, environmental risks, competition from other
producers, incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions,
failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies from
acquisitions, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required
regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from
internal and external sources and the risk factors outlined under
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere herein. The recovery and resources
estimate of Pieridae's reserves provided herein are estimates only
and there is no guarantee that the estimated resources will be
recovered. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number
of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such
forward-looking statements, but which may prove to be incorrect.
Although Pieridae believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should
not be placed on forward-looking statements because Pieridae can
give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be
identified in this document, assumptions have been made regarding,
among other things: the impact of increasing competition; the
general stability of the economic and political environment in
which Pieridae operates; the timely receipt of any required
regulatory approvals; the ability of Pieridae to obtain qualified
staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient
manner; the ability of the operator of the projects which Pieridae
has an interest in, to operate the field in a safe, efficient and
effective manner; the ability of Pieridae to obtain financing on
acceptable terms; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural
gas resources through acquisition, development and exploration; the
timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and
expansion and the ability of Pieridae 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 Pieridae
operates; timing and amount of capital expenditures, future sources
of funding, production levels, weather conditions, success of
exploration and development activities, access to gathering,
processing and pipeline systems, advancing technologies, and the
ability of Pieridae to successfully market its oil and natural gas
products.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of
factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and
other factors that could affect Pieridae'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), and at Pieridae's website
(www.pieridaeenergy.com). Although the forward-looking statements
contained herein are based upon what management believes to be
reasonable assumptions, management cannot assure that actual
results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.
Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the
date hereof and Pieridae assumes no obligation to update or review
them to reflect new events or circumstances except as required by
Applicable Securities Laws.
Forward-looking statements contained herein
concerning the oil and gas industry and Pieridae's general
expectations concerning this industry are based on estimates
prepared by management using data from publicly available industry
sources as well as from reserve reports, market research and
industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of
this industry which Pieridae believes to be reasonable. However,
this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of
relative market positions, market shares and performance
characteristics. While Pieridae is not aware of any misstatements
regarding any industry data presented herein, the industry involves
risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various
factors.
