Kolibri Global Energy Announces Annual 2022 Net Income of US$16.7 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $25.1 Million
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–All amounts are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated:
2022 HIGHLIGHTS
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $25.1 million in 2022 compared to $6.6 million in 2021, an increase of 282%. This increase was due to the increase in production of 68% and the increase in average prices of 50% partially offset by higher realized losses from commodity contracts. This exceeded management’s forecasted guidance of Adjusted EBITDA (formerly referred to as Adjusted Funds Flow) of $23 to $25 million
- Net revenues for 2022 were $37.6 million, an increase of 151% compared to 2021. This also exceeded management’s forecasted guidance of $35 million to $37 million. This increase was primarily due to a 68% increase in production and a 50% increase in average prices in 2022 compared to 2021
- Net income in 2022 was $16.6 million compared to net income of $71.0 million in 2021. The Company recorded an impairment reversal of $70.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Excluding the impact of that impairment reversal, net income in 2022 increased by $16.5 million over 2021 due to higher production and higher average prices partially offset by higher realized losses on commodity contracts
- Average production for 2022 was 1,640 BOEPD, an increase of 68% compared to 2021 production of 975 BOEPD. This was in the range of management’s forecasted guidance of 1,500 to 1,700 BOEPD. The increase is mainly due to production from the Barnes 7-3H well and the Barnes 8-4H well which started producing in the second quarter of 2022. The Emery 17-2H well (99% working interest) started production in late November 2022, the Brock 9-3H well (100% working interest) produced for twenty days in December 2022 and the Glenn 16-3H well (100% working interest) produced for twelve days in December 2022
- The production exit rate as of December 31, 2022 was over 4,000 BOEPD which exceeded management’s forecasted guidance of 2,700 BOEPD
- Netback from operations(2) increased to $54.56 per BOE in 2022 compared to $33.75 per BOE in 2021, an increase of 62%. Netback including commodity contracts(2) for 2022 was $47.79 per BOE compared to $26.05 in 2021, an increase of 83% from the prior year. The 2022 increase compared to the prior year was due to the increase in average prices partially offset by higher production taxes
- The Company’s NPV10 of Total Proved Reserves were $514.8 million for 2022, which was a 43% increase from 2021 according to the Company’s December 31, 2022, independent reserves evaluation, due primarily to higher type curves and higher estimated future pricing
- Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $8.19 per BOE in 2022 compared to $8.32 per BOE in 2021, a decrease of 2%. The decrease was due to increased production which reduced the per barrel fixed costs partially offset by higher production taxes due to an increase in prices as well as higher service and material costs
- The net debt of the Company at December 31, 2022 was $16.8 million which was in the range of management’s forecasted guidance of $15 to 17 million
- The ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 0.83 at December 31, 2022 which met management’s forecasted guidance of less than 1.0
- In October 2022, the credit facility was redetermined and the borrowing base was increased from $20 million to $25 million. As at December 31, 2022, the Company has $6.8 million of available borrowing capacity on the credit facility

Kolibri’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener, commented:
“We are extremely pleased with the transformation of the Company that occurred in 2022. We were able to increase our Adjusted EBITDA by 288% by successfully drilling five wells in our corridor area and demonstrating the impressive and consistent performance of our field. We developed a strategy for the year and successfully executed it, which enabled the Company to either meet or exceed the forecasted guidance that we provided earlier in the year. Management is excited to continue to build on our 2022 performance with our 2023 drilling program. We started drilling the first three wells in our 2023 drilling program this week and we have also signed a new rig contract to drill three additional wells starting in July 2023.
“Looking ahead, we are currently forecasting the 2023 drilling program to deliver as follows:
- Capital expenditures of $44 million to $51 million to drill between six and seven wells throughout the year with timing to be determined based on available cash flow. We plan to fund our 2023 drilling program with our existing cash flow, with the potential of temporarily drawing down a portion of our outstanding credit facility to manage working capital;
- Annual average production of between 3,600 to 4,000 BOEPD with a year-end exit rate of between 4,500 to 5,000 BOEPD, based on the assumption that the new production performs per a type curve which is similar to NSAI’s December 2022 proved type curve;
- Generate between $65 million to $70 million in net revenue and $52 million to $55 million of adjusted EBITDA(3); and
- Net debt at year-end between $16.0 million to $18.0 million while maintaining a total debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 1.0 throughout the year(3)
- Management plans to reevaluate the 2023 drilling program later in the year and may modify it once we have more visibility on prices and well performance. Any modifications to the drilling program may affect the above forecast.

Assumptions include forecasted pricing of WTI US $75/bbl, $5 Henry Hub and NGL pricing of $30 bbl and includes the impact of the Company’s existing hedges. |
“Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $25.1 million in 2022 compared to $6.6 million in 2021, an increase of 282%. This increase was due to the increase in production of 68% and the increase in average prices of 50% partially offset by higher realized losses from commodity contracts. This exceeded management’s forecasted guidance of Adjusted EBITDA (formerly referred to as Adjusted Funds Flow) of $23 to $25 million.
“The average production for 2022 was 1,640 BOEPD, an increase of 68% compared to 2021 production of 975 BOEPD. The production exit rate at the end of 2022 was over 4,000 BOEPD which exceeded management’s forecasted guidance of 2,700 BOEPD. Average production for January 2023 was almost 3,600 BOEPD.
“Net revenues for 2022 were $37.6 million, an increase of 151% compared to 2021. This also exceeded management’s forecasted guidance of $35 million to $37 million. This increase was primarily due to a 68% increase in production and a 50% increase in average prices in 2022 compared to 2021.
“Net income in 2022 was $16.6 million compared to net income of $71.0 million in 2021. The Company recorded an impairment reversal of $70.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
“Netback from operations(2) increased to $54.56 per BOE in 2022 compared to $33.75 per BOE in 2021, an increase of 62%. Netback including commodity contracts(2) for 2022 was $47.79 per BOE compared to $26.05 in 2021, an increase of 83% from the prior year. The 2022 increase compared to the prior year was due to the increase in average prices partially offset by higher production taxes.
“Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $8.19 per BOE in 2022 compared to $8.32 per BOE in 2021, a decrease of 2%. The decrease was due to increased production which reduced the per barrel fixed costs partially offset by higher production taxes due to an increase in prices as well as higher service and material costs.
“Our 2022 independent reserves evaluation report showed a 43% increase in NPV10 total proved reserves value of $514.8 million for 2022 due primarily to higher type curves and higher estimated future pricing.”

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Netback from operations, netback including commodity contracts and adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the “Company’s Non-GAAP Measures”) are not measures or ratios recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Management of the Company believes that such measures and ratios are relevant for evaluating returns on each of the Company’s projects as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole. The Company’s Non-GAAP Measures may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios as reported by such organizations. The Company’s Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income, cash flows related to operating activities, working capital or other financial measures and ratios determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company’s performance.
An explanation of how the Company’s Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Company’s management uses the Non-GAAP Measures is set out in the management’s discussion and analysis under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” which is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and is incorporated by reference into this earnings release.
The following is the reconciliation of the non-GAAP ratio netback from operations to net income (loss) from continuing operations, which the Company considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the Company’s financial statements:

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure:
|
(a) |
|
The Company’s natural gas production is reported in thousands of cubic feet (“Mcfs“). The Company also uses references to barrels (“Bbls“) and barrels of oil equivalent (“Boes“) to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. |
||
|
(b) |
|
Discounted and undiscounted net present value of future net revenues attributable to reserves do not represent fair market value. |
||
|
(c) |
|
Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. |
||
|
(d) |
|
The Company discloses peak and 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production rates. Readers are cautioned that such production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. |
Readers are referred to the full description of the results of the Company’s December 31, 2022 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2022, which the Company filed on SEDAR on March 13, 2023.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This release contains forward-looking information including estimates of reserves, the proposed timing and expected results of exploratory and development work including fracture stimulation and production from the Company’s Tishomingo field, Oklahoma acreage, the future performance of wells including following shut-in’s and restart of well(s), the expected effects of cost reduction efforts, forecasts regarding the Company’s 2023 drilling program including expected capital expenditures, annual average production, net revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt at year end, availability of funds from the Company’s reserves based loan facility, and the Company’s strategy and objectives. The use of any of the words “target”, “plans”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “should”, “believe”, “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking information is based on management’s expectations and assumptions, including that the Company’s geologic and reservoir models and analysis will be validated, that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that previous exploration results are indicative of future results and success, that expected production from future wells can be achieved as modeled, declines will match the modeling, future well production rates will be improved over existing wells, that rates of return as modeled can be achieved, that recoveries are consistent with management’s expectations, including that new production will perform per a type curve which is similar to NSAI’s December 2022 proved type curve, that additional wells are actually drilled and completed, that design and performance improvements will reduce development time and expense and improve productivity, that discoveries will prove to be economic, that anticipated results and estimated costs will be consistent with management’s expectations, that all required permits and approvals and the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, provided or available, as applicable, on terms that are acceptable to the Company, when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained, that the price of oil will be sustained or increase, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through financings, credit facilities, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, that the Company will continue in compliance with the covenants under its reserves-based loan facility, that the Company will not be adversely affected by changing government policies and regulations, social instability or other political, economic or diplomatic developments in the countries in which it operates and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company’s business and its ability to advance its business strategy.
