Jakarta, April 1, 2024 – PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk announces its Full Year 2023 Audited financial results.

Roberto Lorato, CEO, said, “This was another busy and productive year.  In 2023 we met all of our targets for oil and gas production, power sales, unit costs, capital expenditure and debt reduction.  We also increased our cash dividend, amended the Corridor PSC, closed the acquisition in Oman, completed the Amman IPO, the largest Indonesian IPO of the year, and met our GHG emissions reduction targets two years ahead of plan.”

Financial Highlights

• Net Profit was US$331 million and EBITDA US$1,255 million, lower than in 2022 reflecting lower oil and gas prices and reduced contribution from Amman Mineral Internasional (AMMN). 
• MedcoEnergi share of AMMN net profit was lower year-on-year due to severe rainfall and delays in renewing the export permit.
• Average oil and gas prices were also lower at US$78/bbl, down US$18/bbl year-on-year from the US$96/bbl in 2022, and average 2023 gas prices were US$7/mmbtu.  Despite the lower price, oil and gas results remained resilient due to our low cash costs and further reserve additions. 
• Other non-cash impairments were largely offset by non-cash gains, including classifying our Libya asset as an asset held for sale, and a dilution gain following the AMMN IPO.
• Capital expenditures, excluding the Oman acquisition, were US$333 million spent mainly progressing developments in Natuna, Corridor and the Ijen geothermal project.
• Consolidated debt at year end was US$3.3 billion, Restricted Group¹ debt was US$2.8 billion. Excluding the debt drawn at year end to close the Oman acquisition, debt is now back to 2018 levels.
• Cash and cash equivalents were US$425 million with Net Debt¹ US$2.5 billion and Net Debt to EBITDA¹ 2.1x.
• An interim dividend of ~IDR15 per share was distributed in December 2023, and a total dividend of ~US$65mn was paid in 2023. The final 2023 dividend will be announced after the AGMS.
• Strong ESG performance continued with an improved Sustainalytics score.
• In Q4 2023 a tender offer bought back US$425mn of USD Notes 2025 – 2028 and a new US$500mn 2029 USD Note was issued for refinance.

Operational Highlights

Oil and Gas

• Oil & gas production was 160 mboepd, with a cash cost of US$8.3 per boe.
• In 2023 we completed the acquisition of a 20% interest in producing Block 60 and exploration Block 48 in Oman 
• Signed new Gas Sales Agreements on the Corridor and Natuna Block B PSCs. Obtained favorable amendments to the Corridor PSC to support the economics of new exploration and gas developments.
• These reserve additions increased the 2P reserve life index to 10.6 years.
• The Natuna Bronang gas project was brought online in September 2023.
• Signed a new exploration PSC for the Beluga Block located in the Natuna Sea.
• Oil and gas production guidance for 2024 is 145 mboed. This is below 2023 production levels as a result of contractual reduction of MedcoEnergi’s working interest in Corridor PSC after December 2023, security concerns in Yemen and temporary lower piped gas demand in Singapore because of low current LNG spot prices.
