George Maxwell, VAALCO’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are pleased with our strong second quarter operational results that were driven by sales volumes above the high end of guidance, NRI production of over 8,000 BOPD and robust commodity pricing. We continue to generate strong cash flow from operations as we build our cash position for the upcoming drilling campaign at Etame. We have generated
“Our operational performance coupled with continued strong pricing and our hedges gives us the confidence to continue to execute on our strategy of accretive growth. We secured a jack-up rig for our 2021/2022 drilling campaign and continue to work with our joint owners at Etame on our shared goal of executing another successful drilling campaign with the goal of adding significantly to our production and reserves. Success on all four wells currently planned within the drilling campaign could result in an increase in production of 7,000 to 8,000 gross barrels of oil per day and significant reserve additions for the two appraisal wellbores that would be converted from resources into 2P reserves at year-end 2022. We are excited to get our next drilling campaign underway later this year.”
“We recognize that operating safely for the protection of our employees and for the environment is of paramount importance. We are pleased to have completed our second ESG report that was primarily developed in close alignment with the recommendations of SASB as we significantly enhanced our disclosures and related discussions. The core values outlined in our report are a part of our culture and have guided our success and provided the foundation for VAALCO’s operations in West Africa. Our Board has empowered all of our employees to create a working environment that assures our success as a trusted operator, a generous partner to the communities where we operate, and as good stewards to the environment.”
“We remain very excited about our opportunities at Etame and in Equatorial Guinea on Block P. We have completed our feasibility study for the standalone development of the Venus discovery in Block P and we are moving forward now with a field development concept. We believe that VAALCO is in a very enviable position, with no debt, strong cash flow generation, self-funding of organic opportunities and the ability to actively search for accretive acquisitions. We will continue to operate efficiently and work on expanding our netbacks to generate additional cash flow. As you can see, we are firmly focused on maximizing shareholder return opportunities and operating with the highest regards toward ESG while we progress our refreshed strategic objectives focused on accretive growth.”
Operational Update
Gabon
Seismic and 2021/2022 Drilling Campaign
In December 2020, VAALCO completed the acquisition of approximately 1,000 square kilometers of new dual-azimuth proprietary 3-D seismic data over the entire Etame Marin block. The Company expects the seismic data to enhance sub-surface imaging by merging legacy data with newly acquired seismic allowing for the first continuous 3-D seismic over the entire block. The processing of the seismic data began in January 2021, and during the second quarter, the Company has accelerated the seismic processing in order to maximize the impact to the upcoming drilling campaign. VAALCO expects all the data to be fully processed and analyzed by the fourth quarter of 2021. The seismic data will be used to optimize drilling locations for the 2021/2022 drilling campaign, as well as to de-risk future drilling locations and potentially identify new drilling locations.
In conjunction with its 2021/2022 drilling program planned to begin later this year, VAALCO has executed a contract with Borr Jack-Up XIV Inc., an affiliate of Borr Drilling Limited, to drill at least two development wells and two appraisal wellbores with options to drill additional wells. The contract provides, among other things, that the drilling rig can be on location as early as December of this year, with the exact timing dependent on other commitments related to the rig. The Company estimates the cost of the 2021/2022 drilling campaign at Etame to be between

The increase in volumes in the second quarter of 2021 is primarily due to the additional ownership interest in the Etame field following the closing of the Sasol Acquisition.

Total production expense, excluding workovers, increased compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in working interest associated with the Sasol Acquisition but was flat compared to the first quarter of 2021, despite higher sales. The per-unit production expense, excluding workovers, decreased
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense in the second quarter of 2021 on a per NRI barrel of crude oil sales basis was higher compared to the prior periods presented due to higher depletable costs associated with the Sasol Acquisition.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense, excluding stock-based compensation, in the second quarter of 2021 was higher than the prior periods primarily as a result of additional severance costs associated with changes in key personnel.
Non-cash stock-based compensation expense was impacted by the change in the stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) liability as a result of changes in the Company’s stock price during the quarter. For the second quarter of 2021, the stock-based compensation expense related to SARs was an expense of

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by VAALCO’s management and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders, rating agencies, investors and others who follow the industry, as an indicator of the Company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net income before discontinued operations, interest income net, income tax expense, depletion, depreciation and amortization, exploration expense, non-cash and other items including stock compensation expense and unrealized commodity derivative loss.
Management uses Adjusted Net Income to evaluate operating and financial performance and believes the measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and/or other items that management does not consider to be indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period. Management also believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating and financial performance across periods, as well as facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net income before discontinued operations, deferred income tax expense, unrealized commodity derivative loss and non-cash and other items.
Management uses Adjusted Working Capital as a measurement tool to assess the working capital position of the Company’s continuing operations excluding leasing obligations because it eliminates the impact of discontinued operations as well as the impact of lease liabilities. Under the lease accounting standards, lease liabilities related to assets used in joint operations include both the Company’s share of expenditures as well as the share of lease expenditures which its non-operator joint venture owners’ will be obligated to pay under joint operating agreements. Adjusted Working Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents working capital excluding working capital attributable to discontinued operations and current liabilities associated with lease obligations.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income have significant limitations, including that they do not reflect the Company’s cash requirements for capital expenditures, contractual commitments, working capital or debt service. Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and operating income (loss) and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Working Capital.
