Oando’s Assets More than Double to N2.68 Trillion in One Year Oando Plc has released its audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the full year ended December 31, 2023, to the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). The company reported a total asset of N2.68 trillion as against N1.25 trillion posted in the comparable period of 2022, representing a growth of 113.73%. The company recorded a 43% increase in revenue, reaching N2.9 trrillion compared to N1.9 trillion in 2022. Notably, Oando achieved a turnaround, transitioning from a loss in 2022 to a profit-after-tax of N60.3 billion in 2023, a 961% increase in its operating profits despite the 24% reduction in the realised oil price ($83.15/bbl in 2023 compared to $109.55/bbl in 2022). According to the company, the reduction was consistent in gas prices as the value fell from $14.74/bbl in 2022 to $12.19/bbl in 2023; and in NGL prices with a similar decline from $6.23/boe in 2022 to $4.87/boe in 2023. Additionally, the company reduced its upstream borrowings by 23 per cent, from $635.6m in 2022 to $488.9m in 2023. Commenting on the results, Group Chief Executive, Oando Plc, Wale Tinubu, said: “Despite the operational hurdles occasioned by security breaches and persistent pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta, we achieved a profit after tax of N60 billion, bolstered by the strength of our global trading alliances, a 12 per cent increase in total production, and favourable exchange gains from our foreign currency denominated assets.” “Our recently completed transformational acquisition of NAOC Ltd is a pivotal moment for the Company due to the expansive reserves and vast infrastructure network. Following our 2014 acquisition of ConocoPhillips’s Nigerian unit, this transaction was the next phase in our long-term strategy to increase our reserves and production capacity by leveraging the exit of the International Oil Companies whilst securing operational control of the assets. “Our immediate focus now shifts to a seamless integration and execution of initiatives towards achieving a marked increase in production. We are confident about the opportunities this platform provides and are committed to delivering sustainable value to all stakeholders” he added. Despite persistent operational security challenges in the Niger Delta, Oando achieved a 12 per cent increase in total production, reaching 23,258boepd in 2023 compared to 20,703boepd in 2022. Expanding on the performance of its production portfolio, Oando averaged a daily production of 6,211 bbls/day, making a 26 per cent increase to its 4,939 bbls/day in 2022. Consistent with the improved performance, it averaged 16,808boe/day of natural gas, 10 per cent better than 15,292 boe/day of natural gas in 2022. The company cited improved operations and repairs of shut-in wells offset by persistent sabotage activities as a reason for the production increase. The decline in global oil prices in 2023 was because of a tumultuous year of trading marked by geopolitical turmoil and concerns about the oil output levels of major global producers. The company noted that the operating profits increase was “driven by the increase in revenue and a significant increase in other operating income, largely due to foreign exchange gains on the group’s US dollar-denominated monetary assets. This was despite an increase in administrative expenses primarily from exchange losses from the impact of the Naira devaluation on our foreign currency-denominated liabilities.”
