- Tax Rate: The effective tax rate was 27%, below the statutory 35% rate, due to the reduction of the Colombian oil sector surcharge from 5% to 0%.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Strategic Focus: Management is prioritizing balance sheet strength, divesting non-core assets, and pursuing value-accretive growth opportunities. The Board is actively reviewing capital allocation priorities, including future dividend distributions.
- Hedging Strategy: Approximately 87% of 2025 expected production is hedged with price floors between $68–$70/bbl. For 2026, protection has been secured via 3-way collars for ~9,000 boepd in 1H and ~8,000 boepd in 2H, with average strikes of $50/$65/$74.
- Operational Risks: Production was impacted by natural decline in core assets, operational suspension of the Platanillo Block, and temporary blockades in the CPO-5 Block causing 16 days of shut-in production.
- Divestment Status: The sale of the 50% working interest in Ecuador assets for $7.8 million is subject to regulatory approvals.
