Forward guidance

For 2025, Vaalco anticipates continued growth with significant capital expenditures planned for drilling campaigns and infrastructure projects across its assets, aiming to return over $25 million to shareholders through dividends.

Tailwinds

  • Entered into a new revolving credit facility of $190 million, with ability to grow to $300 million, secured by assets in Gabon, Egypt, and Côte d'Ivoire.
  • Acquired 70% WI and will operate the CI-705 block in offshore Côte D'Ivoire.
  • Planning a 2025 capital budget of $270 million to $330 million, including drilling campaigns and FPSO refurbishment.
  • Targeting to return over $25 million to shareholders through the dividend program.
  • Continued drilling in Egypt and Canada to augment production base and cash flows.

Headwinds

  • The FPSO refurbishment project in Côte d'Ivoire will lead to cessation of hydrocarbon operations from January 31, 2025, with significant development drilling expected to begin in 2026.
  • The 2025 capital budget of $270 million to $330 million is a substantial investment.
  • The CI-705 block in Côte d'Ivoire is lightly explored with only three wells drilled to date.
  • The company's ability to fund growth and opportunities relies on internally generated cash flow and cash balance.
  • Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and may be revised or terminated.
