Ripples Nigeria analysis of five quoted companies, whose financials are publicly accessed, showed revenue grew 42% in the three months of Q1 this year, however, they could only manage 7.53% growth in Profit After Tax (PAT).

The five oil and gas companies generated a total of N269.09 billion revenue in Q1 2022, against the N189.45 billion the firms grossed during the corresponding period of Q1 last year.
While PAT for first quarter 2022 reached N14.09 billion, slightly above the N13.10 billion generated same period 2021.
A closer look showed that the first quarter of this year wasn’t a good outing for Conoil, as it had the worst performance among the companies analysed, based on decline in revenue, while only MRS recorded loss in profit after tax.
Breakdown: Best performing oil companies in Nigeria Q1 2022

Ripples Nigeria’s quarterly best performing oil and gas companies is determined by the growth of the oil companies turnover within the three months of each quarter, and that of Q1 falls between January to March.

Eterna – (84.8%)

Eterna oil ended the first quarter as the best performing oil and gas company, as its revenue grew 84.8% year-on-year, after grossing N26.8 billion, surpassing the N14.38 billion generated in Q1 2021 with N12.43 billion.

It’s profit after tax also outperformed its rivals, with Eterna reporting N877.46 million in Q1 2022.
This is 244.8% higher than the N254.4 million recorded same period last year – representing a growth of N623.01 billion.

Seplat – (73.6%)

Seplat was the second best performing company after growing its revenue to N100.61 billion in the first quarter 2022, a 73.6% difference (representing N42.68 billion) when compared to the N57.93 billion of last year Q1.

However, Seplat wasn’t so lucky, as its profit after tax depreciated by -12.2%, as the oil and gas firm closed Q1 2022 with N8.29 billion.
Seplat lost out on at least N1.15 billion, considering its profit after tax for the corresponding period of Q1 2021 was N9.44 billion.
Total (46.3%)

The foreign oil company generated N97.60 billion between January to March 2022, increasing its revenue by 46.3%. Which means Total added N30.91 billion to the N66.69 billion grossed in Q1 2021 – making it the third best performing firm in the sector, based on earnings tracked.

Total’s profit after tax grew faster than its revenue during the period under review, increasing by 46.9% (N1.39 billion) in Q1 this year, recording N4.36 billion.
The company surpassed the N2.97 billion it reported as profit after tax last year first quarter, making it one of three firms to report growth in PAT.
MRS (3.15%)

MRS reported the slowest growth of 3.15% among the companies analysed, as its turnover grew by N546.71 million to N17.89 billion, slightly above the N17.34 billion the oil firm reported in Q1 2022.

Following three months of operation, MRS was the only company to suffer a loss after tax, reporting N41.45 million loss during the period under review.
MRS recorded a poor performance, failing to surpass the N4.77 billion profit after tax recorded during the corresponding period of Q1 2021.
Conoil (-20.9%)

Year-on-year, Conoil’s turnover declined by -20.9%, with the company generating N26.14 billion in the first quarter this year, falling short by N6.94 billion when compared to the N33.09 billion grossed in Q1 2021.

Despite its revenue dip, Conoil managed to grow its profit after tax for the period of Q1 2022 by N133.29 million, to N557.22 million.
The oil and gas company’s profit after tax appreciated by 31.4% when compared to the N423.93 million Conoil reported as PAT in Q1 last year.
Note: The increment in oil price is yet to translate into higher earnings for the oil companies in Nigeria, as the Federal Government is yet to increase pump price to reflect market reality, and the firms are very much dependent on fuel subsidy.

Rogerramjett, the dividend is paid 4x per year, currently at a level of US$0.025 (2.5 cents) quarterly, of which 10% is lost to withholding tax, so the net amount is 2.25 cents quarterly, or 9 cents aggregated over 12 months. That today equates to 7.38p annually, but fluctuates with the USDGBP FX. Today's share price is 122p, which means the share has a dividend yield of 6.05%.

More pertinently, the dividend costs the company around US$59m annually in cash out, which compares to Free Cash Flow of circa $180m under the strictest definition of FCF. So the company could pay out 3x if they wanted to, at current oil prices. Post Exxon deal, FCF should triple or quadruple. It will take the company 1 or 2 years to pay down debt from the acquisition, thereafter the company will generating >$600m of FCF annually in my view, which amounts to >70% of the market cap, at current oil prices.

Note that there are other cash generative catalysts besides, such as the new pipeline about to be commissioned, and the ANOH gas to liquids facility next year.

A 70% annual yield would certainly be nice, but I don't think it'll happen, even if the oil price stays >$100; far more likely that SEPL will make further acquisitions (e.g. Shell Nigeria) or invest in new gas assets or solar assets, but the dividend will rise. I expect it will at least double when ANOH is commissioned, in 12 months time (i.e. circa $60m additional EBITDA will paid out to shareholders). Still, the company will be generating too much cash to put to work, so I would expect the dividend to triple at least, ultimately. That would be 18% yield at today's share price, twelves months from now.

This is just my expectation, based on my own speculative judgements, but I fully believe in them.

Whether they roll them forward or settle them and replace with much higher oil price level hedges, I don't know. Either way, cash generation should jump this year with the oil price at the current level. Operating cash flow was $369m in 2021. This year will see a good increase on that: oil price much higher, ampuke escravos pipeline operational, less production downtime due to bottlenecks, improved flow at OML 40 (Eland asset), hedges rolling off.

Sepl Revenue results this am end 2021 = $733m. Net debt $426m.
Acquisition costs $1283m - expect a reduction of about $200m due to consideration effective from 1/1/21.

Overall net debt becomes circa $1.5b. (Other $300m contingent consideration would be paid from share of oil above $70/b and non material as it works out at just paying $1-$2 per barrel extra from income above that $70/b mark.

Transformational deal so fair value should become £2-£2.50 (£2.50 = £1.47b m/cap).

PROPOSED CASH ACQUISITION

of

Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited ("MPNU")

by

Seplat Energy Plc ("Seplat Energy" or the "Company")



Lagos and London, 25 February 2022: Seplat Energy Plc, a leading Nigerian energy company listed on the Nigerian Exchange and the London Stock Exchange, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the entire share capital of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited ("MPNU") from Exxon Mobil Corporation, Delaware ("ExxonMobil") (the "Transaction"). Completion of the Transaction is subject to Ministerial Consent and other required regulatory approvals.



Transaction summary

· Seplat Energy Offshore Limited, a wholly owned Nigerian subsidiary of Seplat Energy Plc, has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire the entire share capital of MPNU for a purchase price of $1,283 million plus up to $300 million contingent consideration, subject to lockbox, working capital and other adjustments at closing relative to the effective date

(92% liquids)



Transformational impact

· The Transaction will create one of the largest independent energy companies on both the Nigerian and London Stock Exchanges, and bolster Seplat Energy's ability to drive increased growth, profitability and overall stakeholder prosperity

· Based on 2020 pro forma working interest volumes for Seplat Energy and MPNU, the transaction delivers:

o 186% increase in production from 51 kboepd to 146 kboepd

o 170% increase in 2P liquids reserves, from 241 MMbbl to 650 MMbbl

o 14% increase in 2P gas reserves from 1,501 Bscf to 1,712 Bscf, plus significant undeveloped gas potential of 2,910 Bscf (JV: 7,275 Bscf)

o 89% increase in total 2P reserves from 499 MMboe to 945 MMboe[1]

o Includes offshore fields with dedicated, MPNU-operated export routes offering enhanced security and reliability

· The consideration implies an attractive EV / 2P metric of $2.9/boe, with significant gas upside potential

A strong operating portfolio

The MPNU portfolio primarily consists of:

· A 40% operating ownership of four oil mining leases (OMLs 67, 68, 70, 104) and associated infrastructure (NNPC is the 60% partner)

· The Qua Iboe Terminal, one of Nigeria's largest export facilities

· 51% interest in Bonny River Terminal and Natural Gas Liquids Recovery Plants at EAP and Oso

Investors Besiege Oil Companies’ Shares Over Rising Crude Prices
Olushola Bello by Olushola Bello 7 hours ago in COVER STORIES, Featured, NEWS
With the upward trend in global oil prices, investors are building positive sentiments around oil, thereby ensuring that the oil and gas sector on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Limited grew by N145.734 billion in the first nine months of the year.

The gain was triggered by the gains in the share prices of Seplat Energy, Eterna and Oando Plc.



Market observers said the current global oil trend suggests that the increase in the average Brent prices would translate to an increase in revenue for oil companies which should also reflect in the earnings per share.

Also, the Oil & Gas Index recorded the highest positive movement to reflect a growth of 62.37 per cent for the year-to-date (YTD) as of September 30, 2021. NGX Premium index followed with a gain of 117.27 per cent, while NGX Pension index rose by 11.79 per cent.

The NGX Oil & Gas Index comprises nine listed Oil and Gas Marketing companies: Ardova Plc, Conoil Plc, Eterna, Japaul Gold and Ventures, MRS Oil Nigeria, Oando, Seplat Energy, Total Nigeria and Capital Oil.

Capital market analysts said the growth in the NGX Oil & Gas Index was spurred by gains in the share prices of Seplat Energy, Eterna and Oando.

According to them, Seplat Energy, being one of the major players in the Nigerian upstream sector, the company’s share price has seen an impressive gain of 76.49 per cent from N402.3 in January to N710.00 as of September 30, 2021
