Forward guidance

Evolution Petroleum expects to continue funding operations, capital expenditures, and cash dividends through cash generated from operations and its working capital position for the remainder of fiscal 2022. Conformance workover projects are expected to continue and will likely result in additional maintenance capital expenditures, primarily at the Delhi field, across all assets to be in the range of $1.0 million to $2.0 million for the balance of fiscal 2022.

Tailwinds

  • Continued funding of operations, capital expenditures, and cash dividends through cash generated from operations.
  • Strong working capital position.
  • Increase in borrowing base on the Credit Facility by $20 million.
  • Commitment to maintaining and growing the common stock dividend.
  • Focus on ESG best practices to inform evaluations of accretive opportunities.

Headwinds

  • Oil production continues to be adversely affected by the nine-month suspension of CO2 purchases during 2020 due to repairs of the third-party owned purchase supply line that lowered reservoir pressure.
  • Resumption of purchases has yet to significantly restore reservoir pressure.
  • During the current quarter, oil production was further impacted by the suspension of CO2 purchases from July 15, 2021 through August 20, 2021 for preventative maintenance on the CO2 purchase pipeline.
  • Potential for additional maintenance capital expenditures due to conformance workover projects.
  • The company must hedge certain percentages of future production based on certain utilization percentages of the Credit Facility.
