Parkmead's Executive Chairman, Tom Cross, commented:

 

"I am delighted to report an excellent year of progress for Parkmead. We have
delivered record gas revenue and strong pre-tax profits through our
high-quality Dutch assets.

The innovative royalty deal which we completed last summer is proving to be
highly advantageous and is adding considerable value. Parkmead is 100%
unhedged and is benefiting from these additional gas sales at higher prices.

 

We will be spudding the first of our LDS wells imminently in the Netherlands.
This will target new onshore gas resources which, in a success case, will be
tied in quickly to production. Parkmead has already commenced well planning
work on the high-impact Skerryvore project in the UK.

 

A strong contribution is being made by the Kempstone Hill Wind Farm, producing
100% renewable energy direct to the grid. This UK onshore wind farm is
complementary to the Group's low-carbon, onshore operations in the
Netherlands.

 

Our team continues to identify and evaluate further acquisitions that would
enhance our existing business.

Parkmead is well positioned for the future. We have excellent UK and
Netherlands regional expertise, strong financial discipline, and a growing
portfolio of high-quality assets. The Group will continue to    build upon
the inherent value in its existing interests with a balanced, acquisition-led,
growth strategy to secure opportunities that maximise future value for our
shareholders"

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

2022 has been an important year of delivery for Parkmead. Building on the
solid foundations established in recent years, the Group increased its revenue
by 236% in the period to £12.1 million and generated strong profits at both
operating and pre-tax levels. Parkmead achieved an operating profit of £5.2
million and a record profit before tax of £4.0 million.

We also delivered a number of important, value-adding steps across our
projects this year, including increasing our stake in Skerryvore, acquiring
the Kempstone Hill wind farm and completing the Netherlands gas royalty
transaction.

Financial Performance

The Group's revenue for the year to 30 June 2022 was £12.1m (2021: £3.6m),
generating a substantial increase in gross profit to £10.8m (2021: £1.8m).
The gross margin improved from 49% to 89%, showing the high-quality nature of
Parkmead's onshore production in the Netherlands and strong operating
leverage.

The increased revenue in the year reflected the good operating performance and
substantially higher gas prices during 2021, which increased further in 2022
following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This strength in gas prices has
continued since the financial year end, with prices reaching approximately
€350/MWh in August 2022. Since then, prices have softened and are now
trading at more normalised levels as seen during the financial year. The spike
in pricing has resulted in revenue from the Netherlands in the four-month
period to 31 October 2022 in excess of €9.0 million. Parkmead remains 100%
unhedged and therefore benefits from these higher prices.

Operating profit for the year was £5.2m (2021: £12.8m loss) and an adjusted
EBITDA was delivered of £9.0m (2021: £1.0m loss). A record profit before tax
was recorded of £4.0m (2021: £13.4m loss).

Taxation paid of £4.8m (2021: £0.4m) relates primarily to Parkmead's
Netherlands assets and reflects high revenue and very low operating costs
across the onshore portfolio. Accordingly, the Group's net loss for the period
fell significantly to £0.8m (2021: £13.8m). Parkmead maintains a strong
balance sheet with total assets of £86.3m (2021: £78.7m) as 30 June 2022.
Cash and cash equivalents at year-end were £23.3m (2021: £23.4m) and
interest bearing loans receivable were £2.9m (2021: £2.9m). The Group's net
asset value was £57.0m (2021: £57.7m). Debt within the Group remains minimal
and was £0.9m at 30 June 2022 (2021: £0.5m). This prudent approach to
external debt is an important part of our financial discipline.

An impairment of goodwill was recorded in the year of £2.2m (2021: £nil)
relating to historic contracts held by the Group's benchmarking and economics
subsidiary company, Aupec Limited. Aupec is undergoing a growth strategy
change that will focus the company's offering to a more interactive,
cloud-based system for clients. This will also allow Aupec to offer a
benchmarking analytics service to clients outside of the energy sector.

As a result of the excellent cash flow received from the Netherlands this
year, we decided to move forward with legacy decommissioning activities that
are required to be carried out in the UKCS. Completing this work will position
Parkmead well ahead of its next phase of growth, with no major abandonment
liabilities going forward. Decommissioning provisions for the period were
£19.2m (2021: £0.4m). The Group is also capitalising on lower costs, agreed
before the significant inflation in the offshore market.

Group administrative expenses were £2.2m (2021: £3m). Underlying staff
costs, before share based payments, were reduced to £1.7m (2021: £2.0m).

Netherlands Gas Projects

In July 2021, Parkmead completed the acquisition of a gas royalty associated
with the Group's existing interests in the Drenthe IV, Drenthe V and Andel Va
licenses in the Netherlands from Vermilion Energy. These licences contain the
Grolloo, Geesbrug and Brakel onshore gas fields, respectively.

The acquisition doubled the Group's effective financial interest from 7.5% to
15% (in line with Parkmead's working interest in the licences). This royalty
was previously held by NAM (a Shell and ExxonMobil joint venture) and came
with the licences when they were acquired by Parkmead. The consideration for
the royalty was €565k.

The acquisition is already proving to be of significant benefit to Parkmead as
it was completed ahead of the recent increase in energy prices. It is expected
that the royalty deal will also significantly extend the producing life of
these fields, through greater partner alignment.

Our Netherlands production was some of the most efficient and profitable in
Europe during 2022, on a per-barrel basis. Average gross production for the
financial year across the Group's Netherlands assets was 21.7 MMscfd,
approximately 3,740 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd").

We recently announced the spudding of the 'LDS' two-well drilling campaign in
the Netherlands. The LDS wells are being drilled from the existing Diever well
site and will target a combined mid-case gas-in-place of 37.2 billion cubic
feet ("Bcf") in the prolific Rotliegendes reservoirs within this licence. The
production tie-in period for these onshore targets is very short and, provided
success at LDS, would result in significant additional revenue and cash flow
for Parkmead.

The operating cost of the combined fields is very low at just $8.6 per barrel
of oil equivalent. These high-quality assets, combined with the operating
leverage from a fixed cost base, underpins the outstanding gross profit margin
during the year and allows us to invest in further opportunities. Parkmead's
onshore gas production continues to form a key part of the Group and an
important role in our transition to a lower-carbon environment. On our Drenthe
VI licence, the Diever gas field remains one of the most prolific producing
onshore fields in the Netherlands. Given the production from Parkmead's
Netherlands assets, especially in the context of current gas prices, a key
near term focus for the Company will be to maximise the opportunities within
these licences. The LDS two-well drilling campaign is part of this strategy.

UK Oil and Gas Projects

 

Skerryvore

Following consultation with its joint venture partners in Licence P.2400
(which encompasses the Skerryvore prospects) and having received approvals
from the regulatory authorities, post period end Parkmead reached agreement to
increase its stake in the Skerryvore project from 30% to 50%. Parkmead will
continue as Operator on the licence, which is testament to the efforts and
capability of the Parkmead team. Skerryvore will be Parkmead's first operated
exploration well. Parkmead's joint venture partners in the licence going
forward will be Serica Energy (UK) Limited (20%) and CalEnergy (Gas) Limited
(30%).

In addition, Parkmead has received approval from the North Sea Transition
Authority (NSTA) to enter the next phase of this licence with agreement to
drill the high-impact Skerryvore prospects. The Company's geotechnical work
programme has confirmed the considerable multi-interval potential of
Skerryvore. The planned well will target the main stacked exploration
prospects, at Mey and Chalk level, which studies indicate could contain 157
million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMboe") in the P50, most likely case. The
licence also contains additional prospectivity at the Ekofisk and Jurassic
levels. A successful discovery could be tied into existing and planned
infrastructure in the vicinity.

The area around Skerryvore is currently seeing important activity on several
fronts, with Harbour Energy progressing the adjacent Talbot discovery, NEO
Energy proceeding with the redevelopment of Affleck and TotalEnergies
appraising the Isabella discovery. Development activity is also taking place
in the Norwegian sector in close proximity to Skerryvore at Tommeliten A, a
licence operated by ConocoPhillips.

Greater Perth Area ("GPA")

Parkmead has engaged a leading energy corporate finance advisory firm, Gneiss
Energy Limited, to manage the process to find a suitable industry partner (or
partners) in relation to the Company's 100% interest in the Greater Perth Area
"GPA") development project.

The core Perth field holds approximately 55MMboe on a most likely, P50 basis.
The wider GPA project has the potential to deliver between 75 and 130 MMboe on
a P50 basis and could provide material value-adding volumes to surrounding
infrastructure through field life extension.

GPA is one of the North Sea's largest undeveloped oil projects and has been
fully appraised, so no further appraisal drilling is needed. The constituent
wells have been flow tested at rates of up to 6,000 barrels of oil per day and
have produced good quality, light crude oil of between 37° and 32° API.

Parkmead has continued dialogue on commercial terms with the nearby Scott
field partnership for the potential tie-back of the GPA project to Scott.
Scott lies just 6 miles southeast of GPA and a tie-back could yield a number
of mutually beneficial advantages for both the Scott partnership and the Perth
owners.

Transportation studies for the base case GPA development concept have
previously been completed. These have confirmed there are no technical
showstoppers that would prevent the transportation and processing of fluids
from the Perth production wells, all the way through the offshore
infrastructure and onshore facilities. Parkmead continues to align potential
project development concepts with the UK government's net zero commitment and
has therefore initiated a net zero study for GPA. Encouraging industry
interest has also been received with regards to the GPA farm out and
constructive dialogue continues across all three GPA licences with NSTA.

Parkmead believes that projects like GPA play an important role in
underpinning the supply of energy that the UK needs during its transition to
net zero. As a fuel that is primarily used for transportation, manufacturing
and petrochemicals, oil will continue to feature as a vital commodity in the
UK over the coming years. Therefore, it is very important that the UK
continues to develop projects such as GPA in order to reduce the UK's reliance
on less-regulated, more carbon-intensive imports. Parkmead believes that
production of hydrocarbons from GPA can be done in a sustainable fashion, in
alignment with the UK Government's most recent targets on carbon emissions.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has increased the UK Government's focus on energy
security and confirmed the importance of having sizeable and robust UK
domestic energy production. The rise in international oil and gas prices has
also strengthened investment appetite through enhanced economics. Parkmead has
also seen a positive investment sentiment emanating from the introduction of
the new UK Energy Profits Levy, whereby the associated investment allowance of
up to 91% has created a powerful incentive for major producers to invest in
new UK North Sea developments.

Onshore Renewables

The acquisition of the Kempstone Hill Wind Farm, completed 31 January 2022,
has now been fully integrated into the Group. The acquisition was immediately
revenue and cash flow enhancing. In the last 12 months the wind farm generated
2,850 MWh with a 99.7% availability, enough to power up to 1,000 homes.
Kempstone Hill benefits from an attractive inflation-linked, Feed-in Tariff
through until 2036. Wholesale export prices have seen strong gains throughout
2022. As part of Kempstone Hill's integration into Parkmead, a new Power
Purchase Agreement was negotiated, commencing 1 August 2022, which we expect
to result in a substantial increase in 2023's cashflow. Parkmead also has been
assessing a number of opportunities to further enhance the Kempstone Hill Wind
Farm, such as the potential inclusion of solar power generation, and expanding
sales of electricity to local industrial users.

The major shift in the electricity generation market has changed the dynamics
of renewable projects and Parkmead has decided to position Pitreadie based on
a hybrid of renewable technologies following the completion of successful
feasibility studies during the year. To that effect, Parkmead is progressing
the work required to allow the Company to consider submitting a full planning
application for a combined wind and solar farm, with added potential for a
battery storage unit. This complements our existing onshore projects
throughout the UK and Netherlands as the Group looks to continue expanding its
onshore energy portfolio.

Outlook

Our focus at Parkmead is to continue building a robust and balanced European
energy business, driving forward both organic and inorganic growth
opportunities. We have delivered significant growth across our portfolio this
year, alongside achieving record gas revenue and profit before tax.

The Directors believe that there are excellent prospects to increase
production from Parkmead's Netherlands assets and we will imminently spud a
new two-well drilling campaign to begin accessing these opportunities. The
current gas price environment provides a strong platform to capitalise on the
low cost of production from these concessions.

We maintain a very healthy appetite for transactions which could provide
incremental revenue, cash flow and long-term value for shareholders. Our
proactive approach to investment in cleaner energies positions Parkmead to
continue building a balanced portfolio of assets across the Group.

Parkmead's strict financial discipline has allowed us to remain unhedged for
100% of our gas production, thus gaining maximum exposure to the higher Dutch
gas prices. The Company has started the 2023 financial year on a sound
footing, with work ongoing across a number of projects which should pave the
way for a successful year ahead.

Notes to the financial information for the year ended 30 June 2022

 

1.   Basis of preparation of the financial information

The financial information set out in this announcement does not comprise the
Group and Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 30 June 2022 or 30
June 2021.

 

The financial information has been extracted from the audited statutory
accounts for the years ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021. The auditors
reported on those accounts; their reports were unqualified and did not contain
a statement under either Section 498 (2) or Section 498 (3) of the Companies
Act 2006 and did not include references to any matters to which the auditor
drew attention by way of emphasis.

The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 have been delivered to
the Registrar of Companies. The

statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2022 will be delivered to the
Registrar of Companies following the

Company's Annual General Meeting.

 

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the preparation
of the interim results for the period ended 31 December 2021 and the statutory
accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 and have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the
United Kingdom.

2.   Administrative expenses

 

Administrative expenses include a charge in respect of a non-cash revaluation
of share appreciation rights (SARs) and share based payments totalling
£505,000 (2021: £56,000). The SARs may be settled via shares or cash and are
therefore revalued with the movement in share price. The valuation was
impacted by the increase in share price between 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022.

 

3.   Profit / (loss) per share

Profit/(loss) per share attributable to equity holders of the Company arise
from continuing and discontinued operations as follows:

 

                                                                             2022     2021
 (Loss) / profit per 1.5p ordinary share from continuing operations (pence)
 Basic                                                                       (0.75)p  (0.45)p
 Diluted                                                                     (0.75)p  (0.45)p

 

The calculations were based on the following information:

                                                        2022         2021

     Loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
     Continuing operations                              (814)        (13,806)
     Total                                              (814)        (13,806)

     Weighted average number of shares in issue
     Basic weighted average number of shares            109,266,931  109,188,561

     Dilutive potential ordinary shares
     Share options                                      -            -

 

Profit/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the
year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year.

 

Diluted profit/(loss) per share

Profit/(loss) per share requires presentation of diluted profit/(loss) per
share when a company could be called upon to issue shares that would decrease
net profit or net loss per share. When the group makes a loss the outstanding
share options are therefore anti-dilutive and so are not included in dilutive
potential ordinary shares.
