Ratio (Years) 14.4 17.9 -19%
-- Revenues Up 124%:Total revenues increased to US$250 million
in 2012 from US$112 million in 2011, mainly as a result of an
increase in oil production in Chile and the incorporation of new
production from Colombia, partially offset by lower gas revenues.
Oil revenues from Chilean operations increased by 68% to US$121
million and Colombian operations incorporated additional oil
revenues of US$99 million. Oil revenues represented 88% of total
revenues. Revenues from Columbian operations are accounted from the
date of acquisition and therefore do not represent full 2012
production from the relevant assets.
-- Adjusted EBITDA Up 92%:Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and certain
non-cash items such as write offs and share based payments)
increased to US$121 million in 2012 compared to US$63 million in
2011. In addition, cash flow from operating activities in 2012
increased by 91% to US$132 million from US$69 million in 2011.
-- Netbacks Up 35%:Netback per boe increased to US$30.8 per boe
in 2012 compared to US$22.9 per boe in 2011 reflecting a higher
weighting of oil in GeoPark's production mix, as well as the
incorporation of Colombian operations into the portfolio.
-- Net Income Up Significantly:Net income for 2012 increased to
US$18 million, compared to US$5 million reported in 2011. The
growth in net results is mainly associated with an improvement in
operating results which increased to US$41 million in 2012
(including US$8.5 million from our new Colombian operations)
compared to US$26 million in 2011, despite higher write off charges
of US$ 25.6 million in 2012 compared to US$ 5.9 million in 2011. In
addition, a gain of US$8.4 million was recognized related to the
acquisition of the Colombian subsidiaries.
-- Total Equity Up 25%:Total Equity increased to US$312 million
as of December 2012 compared to US$251 million as of December 2011.
In addition to the net income generated during the year, net equity
increased due to equity contributions made by LGI in Chile.
-- Available Cash Resources:GeoPark had US$48 million in cash
and cash equivalents at the end of 2012 (US$38 million net of
overdrafts), with a liquidity ratio of 1.28x (current assets
divided by current liabilities), and total financial debt of US$193
million. As of 31 March 2013, after the issuance of the US$ 300
million Notes, total cash amounted to US$179 million.
-- Total Production Up 49%:Production average 11,276 boepd
during 2012 compared to 7,593 boepd in 2011. Resulting from an
increase in production of 291 boepd in Chile (including an increase
of 65% of oil production partially offset by a decrease in gas
production) and the addition of 3,411 bopd in Colombia.
-- 57% Drilling Success:GeoPark's 44 well drilling program
during 2012 represented a balance between exploration, appraisal
and development. 36 wells (operated by GeoPark) were drilled
achieving a success rate of 57%.
-- 2P Reserves Up 15%: 2P reserves increased 15% compared to 2011, to 56.9 Mmboe.
-- US$198 million CAPEX:Geopark invested US$198 during 2012. In
addition, US$ 105 million was invested for the acquisition of the
Colombian operations.

4. Analysis of Consolidated Results
Revenues in 2012 amounted to US$250 million, a 124% increase
compared to 2011, driven mainly by the Colombian acquisition and
the change in mix towards oil in the Chilean operations. In Chile,
total oil production increased 65% to an average of 4,024 bopd. The
acquisition of two companies in Colombia increased production by
3,408 bopd. Revenues from the Colombian business amounted to US$99.
Revenues for the Colombian subsidiaries were accounted for since
the acquisition date (February and March 2012, respectively).
Gross profit for the year was US$121.2 million leading to a
year-on-year increase of 113% and a gross margin of 48.4%. The
gross margin slightly decreased from 51% in 2011 due to
consolidation of the Colombian acquisitions, higher royalties in
Colombia and accelerated depreciation of the Del Mosquito Block
assets.
Exploration costs increased explained mainly by two factors: the
relinquishment of part of the Del Mosquito block and the write-offs
related to unsuccessful exploration wells, (five in Chile and three
in Colombia) compared to 3 unsuccessful wells in 2011.
Administrative expenses increased 58.5% explained by the
incorporation of the Colombian operations for an amount of $8.1
million and higher costs associated to new business
developments.
Selling expenses amounted to US$24.6 million, reflecting an
increase due to higher transportation costs in our Colombian
operations.
Adjusted EBITDA in 2012 showed a record amount for the Company
of US$121 million, representing a 92% increase compared to 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2012 accounts for the EBITDA generated from the
Colombian business since the acquisition dates. Adjusted EBITDA,
calculated on a proforma basis considering the Adjusted EBITDA for
the Colombian business as if the Colombian operations would have
been acquired as of January 1(st) 2012 would have been US$ 132
million. Chile accounted for US$93.9 million representing a 33%
increase. Colombia accounted for US$34.5 million and the remaining
amount relates to results from the Argentine operations and
corporate expenses.
Depreciation and amortization increased mainly due to the
incorporation of the Colombian operations. In Chile, in the Fell
block depreciation charge represents approximately US$ 9 per boe
produced. In Colombia, the depreciation charge ranges from US$ 13
to US$ 16 per boe in the different operated fields.
Financial expenses increased mainly due to higher interest
charges as a result of the US$37.5 million financing facility
executed with Itau BBA and US$ 2.5 million loss arising from
exchange rate differences.
Gain on acquisition of subsidiaries: in accordance with the
acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition cost of the two
Colombian companies was allocated to the underlying assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based primarily upon their estimated fair
values at the date of acquisition. An income approach (being the
net present value of expected future cash flows) was adopted to
determine the fair values of the mineral interestUnder this
methodology a gain of US$8.4 million was recognized.
Net income increased 264% reaching US$18.4 million. Total net
income attributable to owners of the Company reached US$11.9
million which translates in an diluted EPS of USc0.2693 versus
USc0.0012 in 2011.
Consolidated net margin increased to 7.4% versus the 4.5%
obtained in 2011.
5. 4Q2012 Operational Update
Key achievements during 4Q2012 include:
Oil and Gas Production Increase

6. Strategic Developments
LGI partnership
On 12 March 2010, LGI and the Company agreed to form a strategic
partnership to jointly acquire and develop upstream oil and gas
projects in Latin America.
During 2011, GeoPark and LGI entered into the following
agreements through which LGI acquires an equity interest in the
Chilean Business of the Group:
-- On 20 May 2011, the Company (through its wholly owned
subsidiaries GeoPark Chile Chilean Branch and GeoPark Chile S.A.)
and LGI signed a subscription agreement in which LGI subscribed 10
million of ordinary shares representing 10% equity interest in
GeoPark Chile S.A, the Company owner of the Chilean assets, for a
total consideration of $70 million.
-- On 4 October 2011, an addendum to the agreement dated 20 May
2011 was signed whereby 12.5 million of ordinary shares in GeoPark
Chile S.A. were subscribed by LGI, for a consideration of $78
million, representing an additional 10%.
The transactions mentioned above have been considered to be a
deemed disposal and in accordance with IAS 27 it has been accounted
for as a transaction with Non-controlling interest. Consequently,
the gain as a result of US$ 111.2 million has been recognized
through equity rather than in the income statement for the year.
Under the terms of this agreement LGI also committed to provide
additional equity funding of US$ 18 million to GeoPark Chile S.A.
over the next three years, being LGI's share of GeoPark Chile
S.A.'s commitments under the minimum work program of the three
Tierra del Fuego licenses.
In December 2012, LGI joined GeoPark's operations in Colombia
through the acquisition of a 20% interest in GeoPark Colombia S.A.,
a company that holds GeoPark's Colombian assets and which includes
interests in 10 hydrocarbon blocks. A capital contribution in
GeoPark Colombia S.A. for an amount of $14.9 million was made in
2013. In addition, as part of the transaction, $5 million was
transferred directly to the Colombian subsidiary as a loan. In
addition, in March 2013 GeoPark and LGI announced their agreement
to extend their strategic alliance to build a portfolio of upstream
oil and gas assets throughout Latin America through 2015.
Agreement with Methanex
In March 2012, the Company and Methanex signed a third addendum
and amendment to the Gas Supply Agreement to incentivise the
development of gas reserves. Through this new agreement, the
Company completed the drilling of five new gas wells during 2012.
Methanex contributed to the cost of drilling the wells in order to
improve the project economics. As of 31 December, the Company has
fulfilled all the commitments under this agreement.
The Agreement also included monthly commitments of delivering
certain volume of gas; in case of failure, the Company could meet
the obligation from future deliveries without penalties during a
period of three months. Otherwise, the Company has to recognise the
corresponding liability. As of 31 December 2012, the accrued
penalty amounts to $1.7 million.
Gas Market
Methanex Corporation, which purchases all of GeoPark's Chilean
gas production, announced it expects to idle its Chile operation in
March 2013 and restart it later in the present year due to
anticipated insufficient natural gas supply. Gas supply for the
plant is expected to decrease during the winter months of 2013
given the seasonal gas demand increase from the city of Punta
Arenas, which is 100% supplied by the Chilean State Oil Company
ENAP, and whose gas production is supplemental to GeoPark's gas
supply to the Methanex plant.
However, the plant is still on production, given that according
to public information, Methanex is receiving gas from Argentina
under non disclosed conditions. Despite, Methanex idles its Chile
operations, they has agreed to continue to purchase gas from
GeoPark in 2013 in accordance with the minimum committed gas
volumes per the Gas Sales Agreement.
Portfolio Restructuring
In Argentina, GeoPark, in November 2012, relinquished
approximately 85.6% of the Del Mosquito Concession to the Santa
Cruz Province; resulting in a remaining exploitation area of 17,300
acres.
In Chile in January 2013, GeoPark formally advised the Ministry
of Energy of a decision by the Tranquilo Block JV partners to not
proceed with the Second Exploratory Period of the Tranquilo Block
CEOP. GeoPark and its partners will relinquish the Tranquilo Block,
except for an area of 92,417 acres consisting of protected
exploitation zones for the Cabo Negro, Marcou Sur, Maria Antonieta
and Palos Quemados prospects.
Notes Issuance
During February 2013, the Company successfully placed US$ 300
million notes which were offered under Rule 144A and Regulation S
exemptions of the United States Securities laws.
The Notes, issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary
GeoPark Latin America Limited Agencia en Chile ("the Issuer"), were
priced at 99.332% and will carry a coupon of 7.50% per annum to
yield 7.625% per annum. Final maturity of the notes will be 11
February 2020.
The Notes are guaranteed by GeoPark and secured with a pledge of
all of the equity interests of the Issuer in GeoPark Chile S.A. and
GeoPark Colombia S.A. and a pledge of certain intercompany loans.
Notes were rated single B by both Standard & Poor's and Fitch
Ratings.
The net proceeds of the notes will be used to finance the
Company's expansion plans in the region and also to repay existing
debt of approximately US$170 million, including the existing Reg S
Notes due 2015. The transaction extends GeoPark's debt maturity
significantly, allowing the Company to allocate more resources to
its investment programs and inorganic growth in the coming
years.
7. Oil and Gas Reserves
DeGolyer and McNaughton ("D&M") concluded its independent
reserve certification of GeoPark's properties in Chile and Colombia
dated 31 December 2012 with a 2P reserve estimate of 56.9 million
barrels of oil equivalent, comprising 49% oil and 51% gas. These
figures consider a write off of the Argentinian reserves due to
lack of activity and proximity of the end of concession.
