CALGARY, Aug. 5, 2015
/PRNewswire/ - Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra" or
the "Company") (NYSE MKT: GTE, TSX: GTE), a company focused on
oil and gas exploration and production in Colombia, today announced its financial and
operating results for the quarter ended June 30,
2015. All dollar amounts are in United States ("U.S.") dollars unless
otherwise indicated.
"In the second quarter, Gran Tierra appointed a new management
team with significant experience and a proven track record of value
creation. The new team has operational and technical experience
across North America, Latin America, Asia, Europe,
the Middle East and Africa," commented Gary Guidry, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Gran Tierra. "Gran Tierra has a solid platform in
Colombia with extensive
exploration positions in proven onshore basins to support future
growth of the company and we now have a more intensive strategic
focus on Colombia. During the
quarter, the Company's board approved a new capital program,
focused on acceleration of development activities in Colombia. The Company is focusing on ensuring
its cost structure is such that it remains competitive in all
commodity price environments. The Company continues to have a
robust balance sheet with zero debt and is in a strong financial
position at a time of weak oil prices in contrast to many of our
peers," concluded Guidry.
Financial and Operating Highlights:
- Oil and natural gas production for the quarter exceeded
Company projections as announced on May 7,
2015. Production averaged 23,094 barrels of oil
equivalent per day ("BOEPD") gross working interest
("WI") before royalties, or 18,494 BOEPD net after royalties
("NAR"), compared with 24,015 BOEPD gross WI and
20,140 BOEPD NAR in the first quarter of 2015 (the "prior
quarter"). Approximately 99% of this production was oil
with the balance consisting of natural gas. Sales volumes were
14,970 BOEPD, compared with 19,399 BOEPD in the prior quarter.
During the second quarter of 2015, an oil inventory and losses
increase accounted for 0.3 million barrels ("MMbbl"), or
3,524 barrels of oil per day ("bopd"), of reduced sales
volumes.
- Funds flow from continuing operations(1) for the
quarter was $24.4 million, a
decrease of 4% from $25.6 million in
the prior quarter, and a decrease of 71% from $85.1 million in the comparable period
in 2014. The decrease in funds flow from continuing operations
is primarily due to the increase in oil inventory and losses as at
June 30, 2015. All inventory was sold
in July 2015. Based on Gran Tierra's
forecasted gross WI 2015 exit production rate of 25,000 to 26,000
BOEPD, the Company expects funds flow from operations to be
approximately:
- $100 to $115 million for 2015,
and $155 million to $170 million for
2016, assuming average Brent oil prices of $50.00 and $60.00
for the remainder of 2015 and full year 2016. respectively;
- $130 to $140 million for 2015,
and $180 million to $195 million for
2016, assuming average Brent oil prices of $63.46 and $66.70
for the remainder of 2015 and full year 2016, respectively; or
- $130 to $140 million for 2015,
and $195 million to $210 million for
2016, assuming average Brent oil prices of $63.46 and $72.00
for the remainder of 2015 and full year 2016, respective
- Company maintains strong balance sheet with cash and
cash equivalents of $166.4 million
and working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) of
$199.6 million at June 30, 2015.
The Company's cash balance reflects $91.8
million of capital expenditures incurred in the six months
ended June 30, 2015. Reflecting Gran
Tierra's renewed strategic focus on Colombia, in June
2015, Gran Tierra announced a $45
million increase to its capital budget, and continues to
expect 2015 capital expenditures of $185
million.
- Gran Tierra expects to achieve reductions of approximately
30% in general and administrative ("G&A") expenses in 2015
compared with 2014. These expected savings are due to the
previously announced reductions in headcount, other cost cutting
initiatives in all locations, and strengthening of the U.S. dollar
against local currencies in South
America and Canada. G&A
expenses exclude one-time severance expenses of $6.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. On a barrel of oil equivalent
("BOE") basis, G&A expenses increased by $3.38 per BOE from the prior quarter
primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower allocations to
capital projects as a result of reduced capital activity.
Additionally, G&A expenses in the prior quarter were net of a
credit of $1.7 million, or
$0.97 per BOE, relating to the
reversal of stock-based compensation expense for unvested options
and RSUs associated with terminated employees.
- Operating expenses decreased by 2% to $17.72 on a per BOE basis for the quarter
from $18.00 in the prior quarter. The
Company expects to achieve additional operating cost savings in
Colombia in 2015.
- Due to lower sales volumes, revenue and other income for the
quarter was $69.7 million, a 9%
decrease from $76.7 million in the
prior quarter, and a 53% decrease from $148.5 million in the comparable period in 2014.
Average realized oil prices increased by 17% compared with the
prior quarter and decreased by 45% compared with the corresponding
period in 2014. The increase/decrease in realized prices was
commensurate with changes in Brent and WTI prices.
- Net loss for the quarter was $38.6
million, or $0.13 per share
basic and diluted, compared with a net loss of $44.9 million, or $0.16 per share basic and diluted, in the prior
quarter, and net income of $9.1
million, or $0.03 per share
basic and diluted, in the comparable period in 2014. The loss
recorded in 2015 was primarily the result of ceiling test
write-downs.

Second Quarter 2015 Operational Highlights
Colombia
Chaza Block, Putumayo Basin
(Gran Tierra 100% WI and Operator)
As announced on June 24, 2015,
Gran Tierra increased its 2015 capital budget for Colombia by $55
million to grow production and continue development of the
Costayaco and Moqueta fields. Three development wells
(Costayaco-24D, Costayaco-25D and Costayaco-26D) will be drilled in
Costayaco. The rig is currently rigging up on Costayaco-25D and is
expected to spud in early August followed by Costayaco-26D.
Costayaco-24D is expected to spud in December and be completed in
the first quarter of 2016.
Three development wells are also planned for Moqueta in
2015. Civil work is ongoing at Moqueta-19i in preparation for
drilling this well later this month. A rig is racked on this
location ready to commence drilling once the civil work is
complete. This well will be a water injection well to provide
pressure support to the Moqueta South Fault Block.
Moqueta-21D will follow Moqueta-19i. It is expected to spud
in the fourth quarter of 2015. Moqueta-20D is expected to be
drilled after Moqueta-21D. It is expected to spud in
December 2015 and be completed in the
first quarter of 2016.
In the second quarter, Gran Tierra successfully stimulated
Costayaco-16. Costayaco-16 is now producing approximately 2,050
bopd gross from the Villeta T reservoir. Another workover is
currently ongoing at Costayaco-11. Acid stimulation jobs were
also conducted at Moqueta-5 and Moqueta-6. These jobs
resulted in a total incremental production of approximately
260 bopd from these two wells.
Gran Tierra continued facilities work at the Costayaco and
Moqueta fields. The 30,000 barrels of water per day ("BWPD")
high pressure water injection facility was completed in April. The
installation of the Costayaco-6 high pressure water injection line
is currently ongoing. Similar to the gas to power co-generation
project already onstream at Moqueta Field, a gas to power
co-generation project is currently being planned for the Costayaco
field before year-end.
Gran Tierra successfully recorded higher than budgeted pipeline
transportation during the quarter with approximately 83% of the
Company's Colombian crude being shipped through the Ecopetrol S.A.
("Ecopetrol") operated Trans-Andean oil pipeline (the
"OTA pipeline") to the Port of Tumaco or through the
Oleoducto de Crudos Pesado ("OCP") pipeline to the Port of
Esmeraldas, with the remainder transported by truck or other
pipelines. Gran Tierra's crude sold at the Ports of Tumaco and
Esmeraldas received higher prices due to lower oil quality
discounts than volumes trucked or shipped north to Barranquilla.
Trucked volumes also have higher transportation costs, which either
decrease realized oil prices or increase operating costs.
Santana Block
Gran Tierra's Santana contract expired on July 26, 2015, and all assets, staff and future
liabilities were transferred to Ecopetrol. Gran Tierra will
be returning this contract and all associated wells, facilities and
liabilities to Ecopetrol as per the terms of the contract. Gran
Tierra's NAR production from Santana
Block was approximately 170 bopd and the loss of this
production was previously factored into Gran Tierra's production
forecasts and guidance for the year.
Garibay Block, Llanos Basin
(Gran Tierra 50% WI, non-operated)
Unitization of the Jilguero Field was completed, with an
effective date of June 18,
2015. As of this date, Gran Tierra became a 38.5% WI owner in
the newly unitized field within the Garibay and Tiple Blocks.
The well Jilguero Sur-2 was drilled in the adjacent Tiple Block
and is currently being tested with positive results to date. Gran
Tierra has 60 days to elect to back into this well with no penalty,
following commencement of production. Drilling of the first of two
development wells in the Jilguero Field started in the third
quarter of 2015 with the spud of Jilguero-3 in late July.
Peru
Block 95, Bretaña field, Marañon Basin (Gran Tierra 100%
WI and Operator)
As announced in February 2015, the
Company ceased all further development expenditures on the Bretaña
field on Block 95 other than what is necessary to maintain tangible
asset integrity and security. Gran Tierra has since commenced
dismantling, removal and abandonment of the Bretaña long-term test
facilities and expects suspension of all activities to be complete
early in the third quarter of 2015.
Block 107, Ucayali Basin (Gran Tierra 100% WI and
Operator)
We requested and were granted a three-year extension of the
exploration period on Block 107. The exploration period will now
end in July 2018.
Brazil
As announced in February 2015, the
Company has refocused its strategy and resources on its core
operations in Colombia. As a
result of this change in strategy, in Brazil, the Company will focus capital
spending on facilities projects at the Tiê field. These facilities
are expected to allow the Company to maintain existing production
levels.
Blocks 129, 142, 155, Recôncavo Basin (Gran Tierra 100% WI
and Operator)
A temporary suspension (Ad Referendum) of the First Appraisal
Plan ("PAD") phase 1 was received on May 18, 2015 from the Agência Nacional de
Petróleo Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis ("ANP"). The
temporary suspension is valid until the ANP Board of Directors
makes a final decision on Gran Tierra's request for suspension of
the PAD phase.
The ANP suspended Tiê field operations due to region-wide
facilities audits on March 11, 2015.
Pursuant to this audit, Gran Tierra completed a risk analysis,
prepared additional documentation and presented this to the ANP on
March 17, 2015, and April 10, 2015. The Tiê field resumed production
on May 15, 2015.
Importantly, the ANP has authorized the extension of Tiê field
gas flaring through December 2015.
Discussions are ongoing regarding the gas sales agreement for a CNG
project associated with Tiê's solution gas production. A
commercial agreement is expected in the third quarter of 2015 which
would allow the project to be onstream by year end 2015.
Blocks 86, 117, 118, Recôncavo Basin (Gran Tierra 100% WI and
Operator)
Processing of the 3-D seismic data acquired in 2014 was
completed in June 2015 and
interpretation is ongoing evaluating potential conventional leads
and prospects.

Production and Sales Volumes Highlights
Oil and gas production for the second quarter of 2015 was 23,094
BOEPD WI before royalties, or 18,494 BOEPD NAR, compared with
24,015 BOEPD WI before royalties, or 20,140 BOEPD NAR, in the prior
quarter. Sales volumes for the second quarter of 2015 were 14,970
BOEPD compared with 19,399 BOEPD in the prior quarter. Sales
volumes consisted of 14,567 BOEPD NAR in Colombia and 403 bopd NAR in Brazil, all adjusted for inventory changes and
losses. During the second quarter of 2015, an oil inventory and
losses increase accounted for 0.3 MMbbl, or 3,524 bopd, of reduced
sales volumes. Production in July
2015 averaged approximately 18,200 BOEPD NAR before
adjustment for inventory changes and losses and reflected 30 days
of oil delivery restrictions in Colombia.
Oil and gas production for the second quarter of 2015 was 23,094
BOEPD WI before royalties, or 18,494 BOEPD NAR, compared with
26,261 BOEPD WI before royalties, or 19,857 BOEPD NAR, in the
corresponding period in 2014. Approximately 99% of this production
was oil, with the balance consisting of natural gas. Sales volumes
for the second quarter of 2015 were 14,970 BOEPD compared with
17,524 BOEPD in the corresponding period in 2014.
Gran Tierra anticipates 2015 production to average between
22,500 and 23,500 BOEPD WI before royalties, or between
18,400 and 19,400 BOEPD NAR before adjustments for inventory
changes and losses. This includes between 17,700 and 18,600 BOEPD
NAR from Colombia and between 700
and 800 bopd NAR from Brazil.
Approximately 99% of this production is expected to be oil, with
the balance consisting of natural gas.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents were $166.4
million at June 30, 2015, compared with $331.8 million at December 31, 2014. The
decrease was primarily due to capital expenditures incurred during
the six months ended June 30, 2015,
of $91.8 million ($29.5 million in Colombia, $44.9
million in Peru,
$16.4 million in Brazil and $1.0
million in Corporate), $76.6
million of net cash outflows related to property, plant and
equipment ($56.2 million outflow in
Colombia, $18.6 million outflow in Peru, and a $1.8
million outflow in Brazil
and Corporate), $47.3 million of net
cash outflows related to assets and liabilities from operating
activities and a $0.3 million
increase in restricted cash, partially offset by funds flow from
continuing operations of $50.0
million and proceeds from the issuance of shares of common
stock of $0.6 million. Changes in
assets and liabilities associated with operating and investing
activities from December 31, 2014, to June 30, 2015,
resulted in cash outflows of $100.2
million due to the payment of accounts payable and accrued
liabilities partially offset by cash inflows of $23.6 million related to other assets and
liabilities in the six months ended June 30,
2015.
Working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) was
$199.6 million at June 30, 2015,
a $40.2 million decrease from
December 31, 2014. Gran Tierra remains debt free.

Operating netback is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any
standardized meaning prescribed under generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Management believes that netback is a useful supplemental measure
for investors to analyze operating performance and provide an
indication of the results generated by Gran Tierra's principal
business activities prior to the consideration of other income and
expenses. Investors are cautioned that this measure should not be
construed as an alternative to net income or loss or other measures
of financial performance as determined in accordance with
GAAP. Gran Tierra's method of calculating this measure may
differ from other companies and, accordingly, it may not be
comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Operating
netback as presented is oil and gas sales net of royalties and
operating expenses.

(3) Funds
flow from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure which does
not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Management
uses this financial measure to analyze performance and income or
loss generated by Gran Tierra's principal business activities prior
to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income or
loss, and believes that this financial measure is also useful
supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and
Gran Tierra's financial results. Investors are cautioned that this
measure should not be construed as an alternative to net income or
loss or other measures of financial performance as determined in
accordance with GAAP. Gran Tierra's method of calculating this
measure may differ from other companies and, accordingly, it may
not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
Funds flow from continuing operations, as presented, is net income
or loss adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, net of
income taxes, depletion, depreciation, accretion and impairment
("DD&A") expenses, deferred tax recovery or expense,
non-cash stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange and
financial instruments gains and losses, equity tax and cash
settlement of asset retirement obligation. A reconciliation
from net income or loss to funds flow from continuing operations is

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2015, decreased by 9% to $69.7 million from $76.7
million compared with the prior quarter primarily due to
lower sales volumes, partially offset by increased realized prices.
Average realized oil prices increased by 17% to $51.18 per bbl for the three months ended
June 30, 2015, compared with
$43.79 per bbl in the prior quarter,
primarily due to higher benchmark oil prices. In the three months
ended June 30, 2015, an oil inventory
and losses increase primarily in Colombia accounted for reduced sales volumes
of 0.3 MMbbl or 3,524 bopd.
For the three months ended June 30,
2015, revenue and other income decreased by 53% to
$69.7 million compared with
$148.5 million in the corresponding
period in 2014 primarily due to decreased realized prices and sales
volumes. Average realized oil prices decreased by 45% to
$51.18 per bbl for the three months
ended June 30, 2015, from
$93.72 per bbl in the comparable
period in 2014 primarily as a result of lower benchmark oil prices.
Additionally, beginning July 1, 2014,
the port operations fee component of the OTA pipeline pricing
structure increased by $2.94 per bbl,
resulting in a reduction of realized oil prices by this amount on
sales delivered through the OTA pipeline.
For the six months ended June 30,
2015, revenue and other income decreased by 51% to
$146.4 million compared with
$300.4 million in the corresponding
period in 2014 primarily due to decreased realized prices and sales
volumes. Average realized oil prices decreased by 49% to
$47.03 per bbl for the six months
ended June 30, 2015, from
$91.74 per bbl in the comparable
period in 2014 primarily due to lower benchmark oil prices and the
increase in the port operations fee noted above.
Average Brent oil prices for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2015, were $61.70 and $57.81
per bbl, respectively, compared with $109.70 and $108.93
per bbl, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2014, and
$53.91 per bbl for the prior quarter.
Average West Texas Intermediate oil prices for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2015, was
$57.87 and $53.25 per bbl, respectively, compared with
$102.99 and $100.84 per bbl, respectively, in the
corresponding periods in 2014, and $48.63 per bbl for the prior quarter.
During periods of OTA pipeline disruptions Gran Tierra uses
transportation alternatives. These sales have varying effects on
realized prices and transportation costs.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, 75% and 78%, respectively, of Gran
Tierra's oil volumes sold in Colombia were through the OTA pipeline and
only 25% and 22%, respectively, were through these transportation
alternatives. During the prior quarter 80% of Gran Tierra's oil
volumes sold in Colombia were
through the OTA pipeline and 20% were through these transportation
alternatives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, sales through the OTA pipeline
were 49% and 45%, respectively, of Gran Tierra's oil volumes sold
in Colombia and 51% and 55%,
respectively, were through transportation alternatives.
The effect on the Colombian realized price for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2015, was a
decrease of approximately $0.37 and
$0.05 per BOE, respectively, as
compared with delivering all of Gran Tierra's Colombian oil through
the OTA pipeline. This compares with an increase of approximately
$0.01 per BOE in the prior quarter
and a reduction of approximately $7.24 and $8.12 per
BOE, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2014.
Production during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, reflected approximately 27
and 37 days, respectively, of oil delivery restrictions in
Colombia compared with 41 and 92
days, respectively, of oil delivery restrictions in the comparable
periods in 2014.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 23%, or $7.3 million, in the three months ended
June 30, 2015, compared with
$31.4 million in the prior quarter
primarily due to lower sales volumes combined with the effect of
decreased operating costs per BOE. On a per BOE basis, operating
expenses decreased by 2% to $17.72
for the three months ended June 30,
2015, from $18.00 in the prior
quarter. In the three months ended June 30,
2015, the Company incurred $1.7
million ($1.22 per BOE based
on consolidated volumes sold) of penalties in Brazil relating to alleged non-compliance with
certain requirements regarding the health and safety management
system identified during a safety and operational audit conducted
by the ANP. This was partially offset by operating cost savings and
lower workover expenses.
Operating expenses decreased by 5% to $24.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2015, compared with
$25.3 million in the corresponding
period in 2014 primarily as a result of lower sales volumes,
partially offset by the effect of an increase in the operating cost
per BOE. On a per BOE basis, operating expenses increased by 12% to
$17.72 for the three months ended
June 30, 2015, from $15.89 in the comparable period in 2014,
primarily as a result of higher transportation costs associated
with higher sales using the OTA pipeline, which carried higher
transportation costs instead of the realized price reductions that
are incurred with some alternative customers, and the penalties
incurred in Brazil, as noted
above. The increase in Colombian transportation costs was partially
offset by other Colombian operating cost savings.
For the six months ended June 30,
2015, operating expenses increased by 18% to $55.6 million compared with $47.2 million in the corresponding period in
2014, as a result of increased operating costs per BOE, partially
offset by the effect of decreased sales volumes. On a per BOE
basis, operating expenses increased by 24% to $17.88 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $14.38 in the comparable period in 2014. The
increase in operating costs per BOE in the six months ended
June 30, 2015, was due to sales to
alternative customers with delivery points which carried high
transportation costs, increased use of the OTA pipeline and higher
workover expenses, partially offset by operating cost savings.
DD&A Expenses
DD&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased to $69.5 million from $41.9
million in the comparable period in 2014. DD&A expenses
in the three months ended June 30,
2015, included a $25.0 million
ceiling test impairment loss in Gran Tierra's Brazil cost center relating to lower oil
prices and $5.3 million of impairment
charges in Gran Tierra's Peru cost
center relating to costs incurred on Block 95. On a per BOE basis,
the depletion rate increased by 94% to $51.00 from $26.30
primarily due to the 2015 impairment charges.
DD&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased to $155.6 million ($50.07 per BOE) from $86.2
million ($26.26 per BOE) in
the comparable period in 2014, due to an increased depletion rate,
partially offset by the effect of lower sales volumes. On a per BOE
basis, the increase was primarily due to the 2015 impairment
charges.
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased by 41% to $10.3 million ($7.56 per BOE) compared with $7.3 million ($4.18
per BOE) in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to
lower allocations to capital projects as a result of reduced
capital activity. Additionally, G&A expenses in the prior
quarter were net of a credit of $1.7
million, or $0.97 per BOE,
relating to the reversal of stock-based compensation expense for
unvested options and RSUs associated with terminated employees.
G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, decreased by 26% to $10.3 million ($7.56 per BOE) from $13.9
million ($8.74 per BOE) in the
corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to the
effect of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against local
currencies in South America which
resulted in significant savings for costs denominated in local
currency, reductions in the number of Gran Tierra's employees as
part of the Company's cost saving measures and focus on reductions
to other G&A expenses. This was partially offset by lower
allocations to capital projects due to lower capital activity.
G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015, decreased by 34% to $17.6 million ($5.66 per BOE) from $26.8
million ($8.16 per BOE),
compared with the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was
primarily associated with the factors noted above. Additionally,
G&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2015, were net of a credit of
$1.7 million relating to the reversal
of stock-based compensation expense for unvested options and RSUs
associated with terminated employees.
Severance Expenses
Severance expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2015, were $2.0 million and $6.4
million compared with $nil in the corresponding periods in
2014. As noted above, Gran Tierra has significantly reduced the
number of its employees in both the first and second quarters of
2015. The Company is taking measures with the expectation that its
revised cost structure will be such that the Company will be
profitable and competitive in all price environments.
Equity Tax Expense
Equity tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, of $3.8
million, represented a Colombian tax which was calculated
based on Gran Tierra's Colombian legal entities' balance sheet
equity for tax purposes at January 1,
2015. The legal obligation for each year's equity tax
liability arises on January 1 of each
year, therefore, Gran Tierra recognized the 2015 annual amount of
the equity tax payable on its consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 2015, and a corresponding
expense in its consolidated statement of operations during the
three months ended March 31,
2015.
Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses
For the three and six months ended June
30, 2015, Gran Tierra had a foreign exchange loss of
$3.0 million and a foreign exchange
gain of $8.6 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30,
2015, Gran Tierra Energy had realized foreign exchange
losses of $2.4 million and an
unrealized non-cash foreign exchange loss of $0.6 million. For the six months ended
June 30, 2015, Gran Tierra Energy had
realized foreign exchange gains of $0.2
million and an unrealized non-cash foreign exchange gain of
$8.4 million. Unrealized foreign
exchange losses and gains are primarily the result of the impact of
the strengthening and weakening of the Colombian peso versus the
U.S. dollar on a net monetary liability position in Colombia.
For the three and six months ended June
30, 2014, Gran Tierra had foreign exchange losses of
$10.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively. For the three months
ended June 30, 2014, it had
unrealized non-cash foreign exchange losses of $8.7 million and realized foreign exchange losses
of $1.3 million. For the six months
ended June 30, 2014, the Company had
$4.6 million of unrealized non-cash
foreign exchange losses and realized foreign exchange losses of
$1.2 million.
Financial Instrument Gains and Losses
Financial instrument gains and losses relate to gains and losses
on Gran Tierra's Colombia peso
non-deliverable forward contracts and unrealized gains on the
Madalena Energy Inc. shares Gran Tierra received in connection with
the sale of its Argentina business
unit. For the three months ended June 30,
2015, financial instrument gains included $2.8 million of unrealized financial instruments
gains which were partially offset by $1.4
million of realized financial instrument losses. For the six
months ended June 30, 2015, there was
a financial instrument gain of $1.4 million, comprising unrealized financial
instruments gains of $5.2 million and
realized financial instrument losses of $3.8
million.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $0.8
million and $0.9 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $28.4 million and $58.1
million, respectively, in the comparable periods in 2014.
The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income.
Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations was $38.6
million, or $0.13 per share
basic and diluted, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with income from
continuing operations of $31.5
million, or $0.11 per share
basic and diluted, in the corresponding period in 2014. As noted
above, in the three months ended June 30,
2015, Gran Tierra recorded impairment losses of $25.0 million in its Brazil cost center due to lower oil prices and
$5.3 million in its Peru cost center relating to costs incurred on
Block 95. Additionally, loss from continuing operations was
impacted by decreased oil and natural gas sales as a result of
lower realized oil prices and lower sales volumes, higher DD&A
expenses, severance expenses and lower financial instrument gains
which were partially offset by lower operating, G&A and income
tax expenses and decreased foreign exchange losses.
Loss from continuing operations was $83.4
million, or $0.29 per share
basic and diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with income from
continuing operations of $81.3
million, or $0.29 per share
basic and diluted, in the corresponding period in 2014. For the six
months ended June 30, 2015,
decreased oil and natural gas sales, higher operating and DD&A
expenses, severance and equity tax expenses and lower financial
instrument gains were only partially offset by decreased G&A
and income tax expenses and lower foreign exchange losses.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $nil
for the three and six months ended June 30,
2015, compared with $22.3
million and $27.0 million in
the corresponding periods in 2014. Gran Tierra sold its
Argentina business unit on
June 25, 2014.
Net Income or Loss
Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was $38.6
million and $83.4 million,
respectively, or $0.13 and
$0.29 per share basic and diluted,
compared with net income of $9.1
million and $54.3 million,
respectively, or $0.03 and
$0.19 per share basic and diluted, in
the corresponding periods in 2014.
2015 Capital Program
During the six months ended June 30,
2015, the Company incurred $91.8
million of capital expenditures which included drilling of
$36.5 million, geological and
geophysical ("G&G") of $26.1
million, facilities of $25.8
million and other expenditures of $3.4 million.
As announced on June 24, 2015,
Gran Tierra's planned 2015 capital program has been increased to
$185 million from $140 million. The allocation of capital includes
an increase of $55 million directed
at Colombia development, at
negotiated reduced services costs. The total 2015 capital program
includes $115 million in Colombia and the majority of Colombia's capital program is expected to be
spent on development drilling activities on the Moqueta and
Costayaco fields. The program includes an expected three wells at
Moqueta and three wells at Costayaco. These drilling programs are
expected to continue into 2016.
Peru's 2015 capital program was
reduced to $49 million, of which
$4 million is expected to be incurred
during the remainder of 2015. The Company is focused on limiting
total costs (capital expenditures and general and administrative
expenses) in Peru over the next 12
months to ensure retention of lands and security of assets. The
Company is exploring options to maximize shareholder value for the
assets in Peru. Brazil's 2015 capital program was reduced to
$20 million, of which $4 million is expected to be incurred during the
remainder of 2015.
The 2015 capital spending program allocates: $97 million for drilling; $45 million for facilities, pipelines and other;
and $43 million for G&G
expenditures. The program is designed to ensure that the
Company will meet all of its work obligations and commitments in
2015.
Gran Tierra expects the 2015 capital program to be funded
through cash flows from operations and cash on hand at current
production and oil price levels while retaining financial
flexibility to undertake further development activities and pursue
diversified growth opportunities in Colombia.

reasonable at this time but no assurance can be given that these
factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.
The forward-looking statements contained in this news release
are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements, including, among
others: Gran Tierra's operations are located in South America where unexpected problems can
arise due to guerilla activity, labor disruptions, technical
difficulties and operational difficulties which may impact its
testing and drilling operations, and the production, transportation
or sale of its products, including the costs thereof; geographic,
political, regulatory and weather conditions can impact testing and
drilling operations and the production, transportation or sale of
its products; the OTA pipeline may continue to experience
disruptions and if further disruptions occur, service at the OTA
and OCP pipelines may not continue on the time lines or to the
capacity expected by or favorable to Gran Tierra; attempts to
mitigate the effect of disruptions of the OTA and OCP pipelines may
not have the impact currently anticipated by Gran Tierra;
waterflood and multi-stage fracture stimulation operations may not
have the impact, including with respect to reserve recovery
improvements, currently anticipated by Gran Tierra; fluctuations in
tax rates and foreign exchange rates; permits and approvals from
regulatory and governmental authorities may not be received in the
manner or on the time lines expected or at all; and the risk that
current global economic and credit market conditions may impact oil
prices and oil consumption in a manner different from which Gran
Tierra currently predicts, which could cause Gran Tierra to modify
its exploration, drilling and/or construction activities. Although
the current capital spending program of Gran Tierra is based upon
the current expectations of the management of Gran Tierra, there
may be circumstances in which, for unforeseen reasons, a
reallocation of funds may be necessary as may be determined at the
discretion of Gran Tierra and there can be no assurance as at the
date of this press release as to how those funds may be
reallocated. Should any one of a number of issues arise, Gran
Tierra may find it necessary to alter its current business strategy
and/or capital spending program.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements contained herein. Further information on
potential factors that could affect Gran Tierra are included in
risks detailed from time to time in Gran Tierra's Securities and
Exchange Commission filings, including, without limitation, under
the caption "Risk Factors" in Gran Tierra's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed August 4, 2015. These filings are available on
a website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at
http://www.sec.gov and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The
forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified
in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking
statements included in this press release are made as of the date
of this press release and Gran Tierra disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as expressly required by applicable securities
legislation.
BOEs have been converted on the basis of 6 Mcf of natural gas to
1 bbl of oil. 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. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the
current price of oil as compared with natural gas is significantly
different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a BOE
conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl would be misleading as an
indication of value.
Basis of Presentation of Financial Results:
Gran Tierra's financial results are reported in United States dollars and prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States.
