Calima Energy Ltd (ASX: CE1): High production in 4Q23 and 1Q24

• 3Q23 production was 3,683 boe/d, slightly below the company’s guidance due to maintenance, turn-around operations at two of the production facilities and unscheduled downhole maintenance on pumping equipment on a few of the more productive wells. We forecasted 3,890 boe/d. • This is more than offset by the high current production of ~4,100 boe/d following Pisces 10 and 11 being brought into production. Pisces 11 continues to clean up with Pisces 12 due to commence production in November. Cali

Calima Energy Ltd (ASX: CE1): Asset sale not proceeding. High free cash flow in 2Q23.

• While Calima received three unsolicited offers from Canadian entities to acquire assets from the company at a premium to Calima’s current market cap, the preferred transaction could not complete due to the volatility of the equity market. • Calima indicated that the rationale for Canadian entities to consider Calima’s assets as an attractive target was the disconnect between the earnings multiples at which Calima shares trade in Australia (~1.5x P/E for 2023 on our forecasts) and similar Canad

Whilst there is significant potential for growth within the current portfolio, this will be difficult to unlock from the current balance sheet and we believe further financing will be required.
