Commentary and financial metrics in Hunting’s AGM/Q1 update confirm that the company has progressed in line with its FY24 targets thus far in year-to-date trading. Q124 EBITDA was well ahead year-on-year. This represents a good step towards the flagged US$125m-135m range for the year, with ongoing momentum in the strongest market segments. Group revenue has continued to grow well, being up c.16% year-on-year in Q1 and c.7% ahead compared to Q423, a strong quarterly close to FY23. Shipments agai

Hunting delivered EBITDA of US$103m, ahead of revised guidance and the inferred year-end expectation, representing a 98% y-o-y uplift (and 11.1% margin, +380bp). Major contract awards boosted Subsea and OCTG activities in particular, but top line progress was also accompanied by good cost control to deliver the full year outturn. A record year-end order book position leaves the company well-placed to deliver further progress in FY24, where guidance is unchanged. At the headline level, Hunting
Hunting has released its full year 2023 results. These were guided to in the trading statement in January, though EBITDA has now come out ahead of this, and overall the results demonstrate a year of very significant growth.
Good revenue progress, a strong EBITDA uplift (and margin expansion), an ungeared year-end balance sheet and the in-year launch of an ambitious 2030 strategy represents a healthy FY23 scorecard for Hunting. Furthermore, additional order book growth and unchanged management guidance positions the company well to achieve further progress. A number of large contract awards announced at the end of FY22 and as FY23 progressed contributed meaningfully to the FY23 outturn. In addition, Hunting ended
Hunting has released its full year 2023 trading statement, reiterating guidance of US$96-100m of 2023 EBITDA (10.5% margin) and a flat end 2023 net debt position, driven by a strong performance from its OCTG and Subsea business units, and backed up by a steady performance from Perforating Systems.
The front of this note takes a look at the UK oil and gas sector, why domestic production is advantageous, what the main political parties think, and what could happen going forward. The latter part contains a review of the companies in our coverage – some that are UK centric, which give exposure to the note’s wider theme, and others that are focused elsewhere.

With positive trading momentum and order book development continuing, Hunting has outlined a clear growth strategy for the remainder of this decade. This is predicated upon further progress in traditional markets amplified by deeper penetration of newer adjacent ones and other non-oil & gas industries. In share price terms, only partial credit has been given for an improving financial performance. Yet, at current levels it is effectively discounting no growth beyond a return to pre-Covid levels
Statement ahead of capital markets day sets strong growth ambitions. Hunting has released a statement in advance of its capital markets day later today.

Trinity has announced a c28% reduction to its 2P reserves following a YE23 review. Despite the decrease in the Company’s 2P reserves, Trinity’s core business remains robust, with a reserves/production ratio of >12.5 years at YE23. 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.

Group net production of 6,508 boepd (FY22: 7,166 boepd) was in line with guidance, assisted by successful development drilling in Vietnam and exploration successes in Egypt.
