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

“2021 was defined by contrasting themes for Nigerian oil producers, with buoyant oil prices
tempered by an increasingly challenging local operating environment. Bullish oil prices throughout
the year saw us record a 105% increase in average realized oil sale price whilst a surge in
militancy and sabotage across the Niger Delta resulted in a 40% decline in average hydrocarbon
production compared to 2020.
Despite the challenges, a strong revenue performance, coupled with the refund of a long-standing
receivable contributed to a Net Profit of N34.7 billion.
As we continue to drive growth of our existing businesses, whilst also exploring creative solutions
towards curbing the incessant pipeline sabotage incidences that continue to plague our local
industry, we are also committed to investing in climate friendly and bankable energy solutions


via Oando Clean Energy Limited, thus expanding our portfolio from Oil and Gas to include non-
fossil energy solutions. We will continue to update our esteemed shareholders as progressive
developments are made in the coming year”.

Revenue

Revenue for the period was positively impacted by high product prices, with realized average
crude oil price increasing by 105% ($70.12 per barrel compared to $34.21 per barrel in 2020),
natural gas by 40% ($9.96/boe compared to $7.13/boe in 2020), and NGL by 27% ($6.98/boe
compared to $5.48/boe in 2020). These, in addition to an 8% increase in traded crude oil volumes
(17,445,256 bbls compared to 16,081,633 bbls in 2020), and a 39% increase in traded refined
products (962,370 MT compared to 694,653 MT in 2020) contributed to an overall increase in
revenue of 51% (N722.5 billion compared to N477.1 billion in the same period in 2020). Revenue
growth was negatively impacted by a 40% decline in production (26,775 boepd compared to
44,550 boepd in 2020) due to increased sabotage activities.

Operating Profit

The Operating Profit of N78.7 billion in 2021 was primarily driven by higher revenue as well as a
net reversal of asset impairments totalling N112.1 billion due to the following:

   •   Reversal of Impairment of Non-Current Receivables: Following the recovery of a
       longstanding receivable, impaired in prior years due to uncertainty around its collectability,
       the impairment provision has now been reversed to the tune of N29.9 billion.

   •   Reversal of Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables: This relates to reversal of
       impairment provisions to the tune of N92.8 billion, made in prior years on a receivable due
       from a third-party following reduction in said receivables.


Profit-After-Tax

The Profit-After-Tax for FYE 2021 of N34.7 billion was driven primarily by a higher operating profit,
as well as an increase in Finance Income to N44.1 billion (compared to N9.3 billion in 2020).
Total Borrowings

Total Borrowings increased by 10% to N460.8 billion (compared to N419.6 billion in FYE 2020).

Ends.
