 Commenting on the results Wale Tinubu CON, Group Chief Executive, Oando PLC said:

"In the first half of 2024, we delivered a Profit After Tax of N62.6 billion, despite persistent
challenges occasioned by sabotage and theft across our assets in the Niger Delta, which led to
frequent shut-ins and impacted production. Since assuming operatorship, we have implemented
a series of production-enhancing initiatives, which are already yielding results, as demonstrated
by a 36% increase in output within the first 30 days following the acquisition. As we navigate a
dynamic market environment, we are confident in our trajectory toward sustained production
growth, positioning us to deliver long-term, sustainable value for all stakeholders".

Revenue

Revenue for the period increased by 51%, positively impacted by exchange rate translations and
higher crude oil volumes lifted, offset by lower trading volumes, reduced natural gas and NGL
volumes, and lower realized sale prices for natural gas and NGL.

Operating Profit

Operating Profit for the period declined by 30%, primarily driven by an increase in administrative
expenses mainly due to foreign exchange losses from the revaluation of payables and borrowings.
Profit after Tax

Profit-after-Tax for the period was N62.6billion- 44% less than the comparative period due to
higher exchange rate translations on administrative expenses and net finance costs.
