In a first for Pharos, they've been descibed as "exciting"!!

Progressive Investment Research have issued research this morning entitled: Excitement picking up

Excitement picking up

Pharos Energy released its interim results on 18 Septemberwith the group reporting net income of US$15.3m compared to a loss of US$14.3m a year earlier. This increase was mainly due to a reversal of impairments.The most impressive feature was that Pharoshas shown a major strengthening of its balance sheet, with the groupmoving to net cash as it benefits from strong cash flow, additional payment of receivables from Egypt and a relatively low level of capex. These factors have combined toallow management to increase returnsto shareholders, as well as moving the business back onto a growth footing. The operational delivery is impressive, and there is clear potential for more.


▪Strong balance sheet–debt free. Pharos Energy has an exceptionally strong balance sheet. The group had net cash at the end of June of US$17.5m (compared to net debt of US$6.6m at the end of 2023) as itwas able to benefit from strong free cash flowand the additional payment of receivables in Egypt.Currently the group is debt free. The balance sheet islikely to tightenmodestly as capital expenditure is ramped up,but this will stimulate growth.The lack of debt gives management more flexibility in its operations.

▪Back to growth. Thefirst half of 2024 was relatively quiet for the group with capital expenditure being a modest US$6.8m. However, activity is being ramped up,with capex for the full year targeted at US$26m (after the Egyptian carry). The cash is being channelled into wells in Vietnam and Egypt,which should help to grow production. In Vietnam, management is working on five-year extensions of licences,leading to targeting additional reserves and production. Pharoshas also started a two well programme onthe TGT field with the ambition to start increasing production. The group continuesto have discussionsover the farm-out of Blocks 125 and126 ahead of drilling in 2025.In Egypt,exploration and development drilling has now commenced.

▪Cash back to shareholders.Pharos, with its strong balance sheet, continues to return cash to shareholders. With the results, Pharosannounced thatitintends to pay a 2024 interim dividend of 0.363p/share,representing a 10% increase on a year earlier.The group also continues its buyback programme,and over the first half of the year spent US$1.1m–a programme thatis continuing into the second half of the year.

Might be some hope here! Share price done okay this year. Been a disaster for long term holders though. Hands up for being one of the latter.

Yeah me too, but finally sold the last of them at the start of April. You can see from the chart above how well I timed that!

...and a snippet from Auctus...

Very strong financials. Busy drilling
programme in 2H24. Dividend up by 10%

• 1H24 production of 5,851 boe/d had been reported previously.

• Pharos has re-iterated its FY24 production guidance of 5.2-6.5
mboe/d. The company expects to spend US$26 mm (net) capex in
2024 (US$27 mm previously).

• The highlight of this announcement is the strong financials. While the
net cash of US$17.5 mm at the end of June is in line with what had
been reported previously, the 1H24 operating cashflow had been
negatively impacted by an inventory build of ~US$12 mm. This implies
that the net cash position adjusted for this inventory build would have
been ~US$12 mm above our forecasts. Because the inventory build is
mostly associated with Vietnam, it is expected to be reversed in 2H24.

• In early 2H24, Pharos repaid all its outstanding bank debt.

• The company has declared an interim dividend of 0.363 p per share.
This represents an increase of 10% compared to last year. Assuming
a similar 10% increase in the final dividend would lead to a dividend
yield of almost 5% in 2025.

• We reiterate our target price of £0.50 per share. The US$3 mm share
buyback programme will provide support to the share price (only
US$1.1 mm has been spent in 1H24)

The Board has resolved to pay an interim dividend of 0.363 pence per share, $1.9m equivalent, in respect of the year ended 31 December 2024 and this will be paid on 22 January 2025 to shareholders on the Company's register as at 20 December 2024.

Might be some hope here! Share price done okay this year. Been a disaster for long term holders though. Hands up for being one of the latter.

PHAR Interims



Pharos Energy plc

("Pharos" or the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024

Pharos Energy plc, an independent energy company with assets in Vietnam and Egypt, announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024. A conference call for analysts will take place at 09.00 BST today.





Katherine Roe, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Since joining as CEO in July, I have found a solid operational business with quality assets delivering stable production and robust cash flows, an impressive team, and a strong financial base. Alongside this, the improving macro environment in Egypt has seen our receivables position improve significantly with over $20m received year to date. This financial strength allows us to announce today the intention to pay an interim dividend of 0.363 pence per share for the current financial year, a continuation of the existing share buyback programme and, importantly, the repayment of all our outstanding debt. We are proud of our Company moving to a net cash position of $17.5m at 30 June and, subsequent to that, is now debt-free.

"We have a solid foundation from which to build on and move forward to grow value in both Vietnam and Egypt. We benefit from having assets with catalysts. In Vietnam, actively progressing the license extensions will unlock appraisal potential. In Egypt, our consolidation proposal will provide enhanced fiscal terms to encourage appropriate re-investment. This will all be considered within the framework of a strict and transparent capital allocation policy that is balanced appropriately and with the priority on evaluating opportunities that can deliver the highest return to shareholders.

"I want to thank shareholders for their continued support and look forward to updating the market on our upcoming activity."

Oi, there aren’t many sellers at the current price, there’s been a lot of selling over the last few years. 66% of the stock is still held by major shareholders and if they haven’t sold so far, they may not easily sell as the stock retraces it’s chart but some will, along with some private investors.

The stock currently has a book value 51p, more than double its share price and has around £25M in cash. The broker consensus for the share price is around 39p. The chart can retrace significantly and still be very good value to Bradley. He may not make it to 30% before the share price becomes over extended but I think he’s been a wiley fox so far and I wouldn’t necessarily bet against him.

However, I do believe the volume will significantly pick up in coming months, partly due to the improving situation in Egypt and partly with potential interest rate cuts towards the end of year. Should all make for an interesting mix. He may well table an early offer? Your guess is as good as mine!

Snippet from Progressive Research report:-

Delivering on operations and balance sheet Pharos Energy reported FY23 results on 27 March. Group net production of 6,508 boepd (FY22: 7,166boepd) was in line with guidance, assisted by successful development drilling in Vietnam and exploration successes in Egypt. Pharos’s strong cash generation resulted in a stronger balance sheet, with net debt reduced to US$6.6m (from US$28.9m at the end of 2022)and cash balances totalling US$32.6m. This left the group free to return more cash to shareholders, including a 10% increase in dividends, and to start to increase investment in 2024, including exploration in Block 125 in Vietnam, which if successful would be a key driver of shareholder value.

▪Profits hit by non-cash impairment. Pharos announced a net loss after tax of US$48.8m (FY22: US$24.4m profit), as it incurred a non-cash impairment of US$65.4m (FY22: impairment reversal of US$27.9m). Net cash from operating activities was US$44.9m (FY22: US$53.4m).

▪Strong balance sheet. With strong operating cash flow and Egyptian farm-out proceeds covering a significant proportion of capital investment, Pharos reduced net debt to US$6.6m at year-end (FY22: US$28.9m). In March, Pharos announced that it hasreceivedpayment of US$10m of receivables from the Egyptian state company, EGPC, which will largely fund its share of operational and capital expenditure in Egypt for 2024.

▪Operational performance. On the operational side, in Vietnam the recent lateral well drilled on CNV came on production significantly above expectations, allowing production to hold steady at 5,127 boepd in 2023 (2022: 5,418 boepd). In Egypt, Pharos has made a discovery in North Beni Suef and added two new production wells, although, as guided by management, production fell to 1,381 bopd in 2023 (2022: 1,748 bopd).

▪Outlook. Production guidance for 2024 is 5,200-6,500 boepd, comprising 3,900-5,000 boepd from Vietnam and 1,300-1,500 bopd from Egypt. In Vietnam, further development drilling is planned for 2H 24 on the TGT field, with expectations of an exploration well on Block125, with farm-out discussions in hand. In Egypt, the expectation is for capital allocation to continue to be modest, with activity focused on low-cost re-completions and waterflood activities on El Fayum. Total capex planned for 2024 is US$32.0m, of which US$4.9m is covered by the farm-out in Egypt.

▪Valuation. The US$279.3m valuation of tangible assets in Pharos’s balance sheet reflects the NPV of 23.5 mmboe of 2P reserves as at 31 December 2023 based on Brent oil prices of $81.5 for 2024, $79.0 for 2025 and $79.2 for 2026. This valuation is reflected in the net asset value of $273.5m
