2Q19 highlighted by negative FFO and covenant breach

Chinook reported 2Q19 financial and operational results that were largely in line, though can be summarized through the negative $1.7 mm in funds flow reported (CFPS -$0.01 vs. GMPFE -$0.01 vs. consensus $0.00). The corporation estimates total unbridled standing capability of ~4,000 boe/d, though current output is zero, as Chinook is further touched up by the Brookfield (Enbridge) McMahon plant outage, with 100% of its output offline since July 30th (to resume August 13th).

Announces 1Q19 results

Chinook reported 1Q19 financial and operational results that were largely in line (CFPS $0.00 vs. GMPFE $0.00 vs. consensus $0.00).

Announces 4Q18 results

Chinook reported 4Q18 financial and operational results that were largely in line (CFPS $0.00 vs. GMPFE $0.00 vs. Consensus $0.00).

3Q18 results, CKE to play the waiting game ahead

Chinook reported 3Q18 financial and operating results which were mixed, with production of 4,807 boe/d eclipsing both GMPFE and consensus estimates by >6%, while CFO of ~$2.3 mm split GMPFE and consensus estimates of $2.4 mm and $2.2 mm, respectively.

Reports 2Q18 results

2Q18 was quiet for Chinook, with financial and operating results largely in line with consensus expectations. Volumes during the quarter were negatively impacted by maintenance issues on Enbridge’s Oak 16” gathering line, resulting in 3rd party capacity constraints. If not for this restriction, 2Q18 volumes are estimated to have been 20% higher (~5,300 boe/d), in line with GMPFE’s prior forecast of 5,025 boe/d.

Reports 4Q17 financial results

Chinook reported 4Q17 financial and operating results which were in line with both GMP FE and consensus expectations. Chinook commissioned the +25 mmcf/d expansion of its Birley/Umbach compressor station in 4Q17 bringing total capacity to 50 mmcf/d. Once 3 rd party restrictions ease in April 2018e, the company will finally have capacity to produce from all 13.0 (11.2 net) wells in the region. There are no further updates with regards to formal 2018e guidance at this juncture, as the company co

FLASH: Positive well results at Birley/Umbach

Recall, during 2Q17 Chinook was drilling 4 (3.63 net) wells at its Birley/Umbach NE BC property. In this update, Chinook announced that the drilling and completion costs per well were expected to approximate ~$4.24mm/well, slightly ahead of our type curve drilling and completion costs of $3.225mm/well.

Reports Second Quarter Results

Chinook announced second quarter financial and operating results that were in line with expectations. In light of the Company’s strategic alternatives process, we reiterate our Speculative Buy ranking and $0.50 per share target price on the stock though aim to provide a more fulsome review with potential changes to the sum of the parts components within our NAV methodology.

ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Impact: Slightly negative. Second quarter results lagged our forecasts, though were largely overshadowed by the closing of a material asset rationalization late in the quarter.

2Q16e Quarterly Preview

Some Recovery on Segmented Cash Flow Generation Over Q1 Though Still Down 56% Y/Y. In aggregate, the Intermediate, Mid, and Small Cap groups are expected to generate 2Q16e cash flow of $1,281 mm, $183 mm, and $53 mm, or $1.517 billion in total, that while depressed relative to the same period last year (~$2.647 billion combined), is up 17% sequentially from the prior quarter, largely on the strength of crude oil price recovery in the period. Severely weak natural gas pricing picture markedly rev

Chinook Energy Announces Further Divestitures, Consolidation to Montney Pure-Play

Chinook announced a divestiture of its non-Montney assets to Tournament Exploration for a ~70% shareholding in a recapitalized entity, the stock of which will eventually be dividended out to Chinook shareholders. Most importantly, this now isolates Chinook as a pure Montney levered growth vehicle, characterized by production of ~2,675 boe/d (19% oil & NGLs), 18.3 mmboe 2P of reserves, and 175 (122 net) sections of Montney prospective lands, coupled with the preservation of a strong balance she

ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC TRANSACTION TO CREATE A WELL CAPITALIZED MONTNEY FOCUSED GROWTH COMPANY

Impact: Positive. The transaction supports the broader corporate strategy of a Montney focused growth vehicle at Birley/Umbach and Gold Creek. We expect the Montney pure play entity ahead to look compelling in terms of resource leverage within an NAV-rich premise, though will not trade at a discount valuation over the next 18 months.

ANNOUNCES ASSET DISPOSITION AGREEMENT FOR CERTAIN GOLD CREEK AREA ASSETS

Impact: Neutral to slightly positive. We view the $7.5 mm transaction as not overly material, though a potential positive data point in terms of the current state of the broader A&D environment, which would be notionally positive given Chinooks near-term rationalization stratagem.

Chinook Energy Announces First Quarter Results

Chinook released first quarter financial results that were strong from a volume perspective though trailed our expectations financially.

• The US$2.7 mm cash position at the end of June is in line with our expectations. • Although inflation across the industry and rig availability had complicated and delayed the finalization of a farm-in agreement for Anchois in Morocco, negotiations on partnering are in the final stages. A partner could be announced very soon. • Progress has been made across the portfolio.

Diversified reported strong interim results, with production that was marginally below our estimate more than outweighed by tight cost control to deliver EBITDA ahead of our forecast; we broadly retain our FY23 estimates.

Central Asia Metals: H1 2023 Interim Results

Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) results in H1 2023 follow a record prior comparable period, with the swing between the two primarily due to commodity price performance. H1 2023 net revenue of US$93.6m was down 18% YoY, EBITDA of US$48.9m was down 35% YoY. COGS was up 9.8% YoY given global inflationary pressures. Other charges on the P&L were minimal particularly now CAML is debt free. Owing to the timing of tax charges and some unfavourable working capital movements which we expect to be resolved

Bushveld Minerals: H1 results; progress at Vanchem post period end

Bushveld Minerals (“BMN”) has released its results for H1 2023 having already released production of 1,784t at a weighted average cash cost of US$26.6/kgV, with H1 sales of 2,096tV through destocking during the period. Revenue for the period was US$78.4m, with adj EBITDA of US$10.3m and attributable NPAT of -US$14m. The company finished H1 with US$3.7m of cash and US$90.7m of debt. We expect H2 production of 1,992tV, split between 925tV from Vanchem and 1,067tV from Vametco, bringing full year p

LIBERUM: Shanta Gold: Solid beat at interims

Interim results

Bushveld delivered as robust a financial performance as could reasonably be expected in H1 2023 given the operational challenges faced. We are encouraged by the reported progress made at both Vametco and Vanchem since, and vanadium price aside (current prices are soft, and pose a downside risk if they do not recover in-line with our assumptions) we think Bushveld is broadly on course to meet our full-year estimates. But given its stressed balance sheet, concluding the refinancing of its c.US$45m

Chariot - Anchois Partnering in Final Stages

The partnering process at Anchois is now close to a conclusion, with farm-out negotiations in their final stages. The FEED phase of the Anchois gas development was completed in March, with Chariot continuing to make progress across all the Anchois technical and commercial workstreams. Post period, Chariot added the synergistic, low-cost, low-risk Loukos Onshore licence. Loukos Onshore contains several near-term drilling opportunities, which, if successful could lead to fast-tracked gas productio
