Horizon Oil Limited Reports Decline in Revenue and Profit

Horizon Oil Limited ( (HZNFF) ) has released its Q2 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Horizon Oil Limited presented to its investors.

Horizon Oil Limited is an energy company focused on petroleum production, development, and exploration, operating primarily in China, New Zealand, and Australia. In its latest half-year financial report, Horizon Oil Limited reported a decrease in revenue and profit, with revenue from continuing operations down by 16% to US$55.9 million and profit after tax down by 64% to US$6.6 million. This decline was attributed to lower realized oil prices, despite an increase in production volumes due to the acquisition of a 25% interest in the Mereenie oil and gas field. The company’s operating costs increased to US$38.7 million, reflecting the additional expenses from the Mereenie acquisition. Despite these challenges, Horizon Oil maintained a strong cash position with net cash of US$22.5 million and declared an interim dividend of AUD 1.5 cents per share. Looking ahead, Horizon Oil aims to optimize production performance across its assets and pursue further growth opportunities, while managing natural production declines and enhancing cash flow generation.
