Enteq Technologies plc

("Enteq", the "Company" or the "Group")

Interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2024

 

Enteq Technologies plc (AIM: NTQ.L) is pleased to announce its interim results
for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

 

Key highlights

 

Enteq Technologies plc is a specialist energy services engineering and
technology company with the flagship product being the SABER (Steer-At-Bit
Enteq Rotary) tool, a directional drilling technology.

·     The SABER project, a novel and disruptive method of drilling
boreholes, has continued to progress through extensive downhole testing in
Australia with a long-standing customer (an AJ Lucas Group company ("Lucas"))
of our legacy business. An extensive track record has now been established
with over 14,000m (45,000 feet) of downhole in-well testing spanning over 57
days in a drilling environment, including a 12 day duration on the most recent
run. All indications are that the equipment is fit for purpose and will
perform as anticipated. Time has been taken for several performance
enhancements to be implemented by the engineering team during the testing,
enhancing ultimate reliability.

 

·     With the stage gates having been met, the SABER system is now ready
for customer test active trial drilling runs of the full system. This has been
scheduled for the next available opportunity in the customer's well plan in
the new calendar year. Should this result in the successful drilling of three
wells it would then be expected to count as revenue from this customer.

 

·     Post period end, in October 2024, a successful fund-raise was
completed raising $2.1 million gross (GBP 1.6 million), supporting working
capital for the finalisation of testing and initial commercialisation of
SABER. The Company continues to tightly manage cash, with all efforts focused
on deployment to market. Another demonstration at the industry test facility
in Catoosa, Oklahoma is scheduled for December 2024, for the purpose of
demonstrating the capability of the technology to potential customers.

 

·     First revenues relating to SABER from the customer have been
recognised in the period.

 

·     Enteq is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Kellett as
Commercial Director, effective 1 November 2024. Stephen joins the Company as
Commercial Director with a wealth of drilling services experience working
across major and independent drilling service companies for directional
drilling services (encompassing RSS, Logging While Drilling (LWD) and
Measurement While Drilling (MWD)), sales, new-country start-up of directional
drilling operations, and RSS new technology product launch, having operated in
the key target operational regions for Enteq including the US and GCC regions.
His experience spans a variety of commercial, management and operational
roles, with key relationships supporting the marketing of SABER technology.
This appointment is in-line with the business plan to drive the market
adoption of SABER through deployment of the initial fleet of equipment to
customers in the geothermal, oil and gas and other drilling markets. The
position is part-time (non-Board) with the flexibility to increase to full
time in-line with equipment availability.

Andrew Law, CEO of Enteq Technologies plc, commented:

 

"In H1 FY25 we have conducted extensive SABER downhole customer testing in
Australia. We are confident of the tool's expected performance and reliability
and now look forward to active drilling run trials of the full system with the
customer. In addition we will continue to develop our track record in multiple
environments based on the proven steering capability, and we also look forward
to a demonstration at the industry test facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma.

 

We are confident that the SABER tool can address the needs of the industry,
with the current customer in Australia needing a cost-effective rotary
steerable, importantly with minimal downhole risk for their operations so they
can enable methane capture. In a recent meeting with the customer in
Australia, Greg Runge, the CEO of Lucas, highlighted to me the importance of
having access to a simple, cost-effective RSS with reduced downhole risk, to
enable and support the growth of methane capture efforts in Australia.

 

We are delighted to welcome Stephen Kellett to Enteq. His extensive experience
in drilling services and Rotary Steerable Systems with proven track record in
driving commercial success make him an invaluable addition to our leadership
team.

 

Stephen attended the recent ADIPEC trade show where his relationships and
network proved to be of great benefit in increasing our presence with
international service companies in the geothermal and oil and gas sectors. We
look forward to Stephen's valuable contribution as we advance our strategy to
expand our market presence with the introduction of SABER and build long-term
value for our shareholders."

COMBINED CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

 

Overview

 

Enteq Technologies PLC ("Enteq" or "the Company" or "the Group") has a history
of developing and commercialising technologies for the oil, gas, geothermal
and other energy transition sectors around the world. The primary focus for
the Group is the commercialisation of SABER (Steer-At-Bit Enteq Rotary), a
novel alternative to existing Rotary Steerable Systems ("RSS") which steer the
bit during the drilling of a well.

 

The SABER tool is based on a concept for a RSS, originally developed by Shell,
as an alternative, simpler solution to the conventional mechanically complex
incumbent RSS systems requiring pads or pistons to create steering forces. The
SABER tool reduces the mechanical complexity by using an internally directed
fluid pressure differential system. The SABER tool utilises true at-bit
steering for the first time in the industry and the simplified design gives
the potential to improve efficiencies, reliability and project uptime compared
to conventional RSS solutions.

 

The Group has licence agreements in place with subsidiaries of Shell which
gives Enteq the global rights for this novel technology and IP. Enteq has
developed and refined the concept for commercial use, with Enteq generating
additional protected IP. Following successful field testing, the SABER tool is
now awaiting customer test active trial drilling runs of the full system,
prior to commercial deployment.

 

The global RSS market is worth c.$3.6 billion annually, in the opinion of the
Directors, and is a sub-set of the broader directional drilling market, worth
c.$11.8 billion annually, according to a recent 2023 report from Spears ((1)).
The SABER tool has the potential to drive operational efficiency across the
world's directional drilling applications, including hydrocarbon production,
geothermal energy, methane capture and CCS (carbon capture and storage). The
Group will provide the SABER tool to customers through a service arrangement
or equipment purchase, providing independent and regional directional drilling
companies more opportunity to compete with major integrated service companies
which have to date dominated this segment.

Financial performance

 

There has been a strong and ongoing focus on managing the Company's cash
position to underpin investment in product line development and build up an
initial inventory of operational SABER tools.

 

$0.7 million has been invested in SABER between 1 April 2024 and 30 September
2024, and the manufacture of the first generation of commercial tools was
completed in the period.

 

The first revenues of $25,000 relating to SABER have been recognised in the
period from the customer for SABER preparation and operational services.

 

The cash position at the end of the period was $1.1 million, a reduction of
$1.9 million from the balance as at 31 March 2024. Post period end, in October
2024, a successful equity fund-raise was completed raising $2.1 million gross
(GBP 1.6 million). Management expects that the future cash balances are
sufficient to complete further customer demonstrations and secure further
commercial contracts.

 

Operations

 

The Group's centre of product development and technical support is based in
Houston, United States, close to vendors and customers, with the Board based
in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. Additional international
business is supported through a network of experienced third-party sales team
representatives.

 

Organisation

 

There were a total of 11 employees at the end of September 2024, which has
been subsequently increased to 12 with the recent appointment of the
Commercial Director (non-Board).

 

Outlook

With a fundamentally robust energy market, the demand for efficient
directional drilling technologies continues to increase, alongside a strong
demand in the industry for competition, notably in the RSS market.

 

Building on the foundation of successful proof-of-concept trials in July 2023
and February 2024, Enteq's SABER technology has been undergoing extensive
customer testing in an operational environment in Australia. The system has
passed the necessary stage gates to now move forward to upcoming customer test
active trial drilling runs of the full system in Australia with the same
customer in the new calendar year. Additional customer agreements are
currently being pursued covering the key regions.

 

The Board is confident of progressing with the commercialisation of the SABER
tool and looks forward to fully introducing this potentially disruptive
technology into the market. The focus is on the commercialisation of SABER
through increasing the number of available tools and future deployment with
the existing customer and with potential new customers in the key regions.
This technology has the potential of producing attractive financial returns
and a significant upside in shareholder value.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER AND THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

 

 

1    GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The principal activities of Enteq Technologies PLC ("Enteq" or "the Group" or
"the Company") and its subsidiaries is that of acquiring, consolidating and
operating companies providing specialist reach and recovery products and
technologies to the oil and gas services market.

 

Enteq Technologies PLC, the Group's ultimate parent Company, is a limited
liability Company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales with its
registered office at 7 Albert Buildings, 49 Queen Victoria Street, London,
EC4N 4SA. The Company's shares are admitted to trading on the AIM Market of
the London Stock Exchange.

 

2    BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The annual consolidated financial statements of the Group will prepared in
accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed consolidated interim
financial statements for the six month period ended 30 September 2024 have
been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard
("IAS") 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

 

The financial information for the six month period ended 30 September 2024 is
unaudited and has not been formally reviewed by the auditors under the
Auditing Practices Board and guidance in ISRE 2410. It does not constitute
statutory financial statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006.

 

This report should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report and
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 ("previous Annual Report
and Financial Statements"), which were prepared in accordance with UK adopted
International Accounting Standards. The previous Annual Report and Financial
Statements have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and are available
on the Group's website (www.enteq.com). The auditors' report of the previous
accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of
emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the
Companies Act 2006.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on
an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention. Monetary amounts
are expressed in United States Dollars ("USD or "$") and are rounded to the
nearest thousand, except for earnings per share ("US cents").

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the
Board of Directors on 3 December 2024.

 

 

Going concern

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared on a
going concern basis. The Directors of the Group assert that the preparation of
the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis is
appropriate, which is based upon a review of the future forecast performance
of the Group for a period exceeding 12 months to 31 December 2025.

 

The Group monitors its funding and liquidity position throughout the year to
ensure it has sufficient funds to meet its ongoing cash requirements. Cash
forecasts are produced based on a number of inputs such as estimated revenues,
margins, overheads, collection and payment terms, research and development
spend and capital expenditure requirements. In preparing these forecasts, the
Directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties to which the
business is exposed. As at 30 September 2024, the Group has available cash
balances of $1.1 million and no debt.

 

Cash flow forecasts prepared up to 31 December 2025, show sufficient cash
resources to enable the funding of working capital, completing the testing of
the SABER tool fleet and the completion of the build of the initial set of
SABER tools in the fleet to enable the generation of revenue from this new
technology. The Directors performed sensitivity analysis on the going concern
assumptions to determine whether plausible downside scenarios which include
cash conservation, leave the Company with sufficient headroom. The cash
forecasts indicate that the Group has adequate financial resources to continue
to trade for the foreseeable future and meet its obligations as they fall due.

 

Accounting policies

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies set on pages 36-42 of the previous
Annual Report and Financial Statements which can be found on the Group's
website.

 

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements,
management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

 

Standards, amendments, and interpretations not yet effective

 

A number of amendments and interpretations have been issued which are not
expected to have any significant impact on the accounting policies and
reporting.

 

Standards and amendments effective for the period

 

There are no new or amended standards or interpretations from 1 October 2024
onwards that have a significant impact on the accounting policies and
reporting.

 

3    SEGMENTAL REPORTING

 

For management purposes, the Group is currently organised into a single
business unit, the Drilling Tools division, which is currently based solely in
the United States.

 

There is only one operating segment of the Group, relating to the SABER tool.
Revenue in the period was generated solely from this operating segment,
revenue for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 generated from the
discontinued XXT business and arose from the sale of MWD equipment.

 

The revenues, net assets and non-current assets of the Group can be analysed
by geographic location (post-consolidation adjustments) as follows:

5    EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

 

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable
to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share

For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares. The Group has dilutive potential ordinary shares arising from share
options granted to employees under various share schemes.

 

As the Group is loss making, any potential ordinary shares have the effect of
being anti-dilutive. Therefore, the diluted earnings per share is the same as
the basic earnings per share.
