Insights
GeoPark's Q4 and full-year 2024 results present a mixed financial picture with challenges in core operations offset by strategic positioning initiatives. The company reported Q4 Adjusted EBITDA of $77.7 million, down 34% year-over-year, and full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $416.9 million, representing a 7.7% decline from 2023. This performance reflects operational headwinds including lower production volumes (31,489 boepd vs 38,315 boepd in Q4 2023) and compressed realized prices ($59.6/bbl vs $67.1/bbl).
Despite revenue pressure, GeoPark demonstrated commendable financial discipline, improving operating margin to 41% from 36% in 2023. The capital allocation efficiency remains strong with a 2.2x ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to capital expenditures and an impressive 34% ROACE. The company maintained a conservative balance sheet with 0.9x net leverage and cash reserves of $276.8 million at year-end.
The transformation of GeoPark's portfolio is evident in its strategic Vaca Muerta acquisition, which has extended reserves life significantly – increasing 1P reserve life from 5.3 to 8.2 years (54% growth) and 2P reserve life to 13.1 years. This positions the company with a more balanced asset portfolio combining mature production assets with high-growth potential in Argentina's prolific unconventional play.
In a strong demonstration of shareholder alignment, GeoPark returned $73.7 million to shareholders in 2024 through dividends and share repurchases – representing a 14% capital return yield. The buyback program reduced outstanding shares by 8%, creating additional per-share value. The quarterly dividend of $0.147 per share continues the company's commitment to returning capital while maintaining financial flexibility.
GeoPark's operational performance in 2024 reflects the maturation challenges typical of conventional assets coupled with a strategic pivot toward unconventional resources. The production decline to 31,489 boepd in Q4 (down 18% year-over-year) signals accelerating natural depletion in the company's core Colombian assets that has outpaced new development efforts. This production profile is common in mature conventional fields like Llanos 34, highlighting why the Vaca Muerta acquisition represents such a critical strategic shift.
The Vaca Muerta assets acquired by GeoPark show promising early performance, with production reaching 15,052 boepd gross in Q4 and a peak of 16,060 boepd in November. This unconventional portfolio provides the growth engine GeoPark needs to offset declining conventional production. The production increase of 19% from Q3 to Q4 in these assets demonstrates the scalability and responsiveness of unconventional development programs.
The company's drilling activity remains substantial with 10 rigs operating at year-end and 43 wells drilled throughout 2024. Notably, the safety performance has been excellent with zero recordable incidents in GeoPark-operated assets during Q4, reflecting robust operational discipline despite the challenging environment.
GeoPark's sustainability credentials continue to strengthen, with inclusion in the S&P Sustainability Yearbook and recognition as an Industry Mover in the Oil & Gas sector. The maintained 'AA' rating in the MSCI Index positions the company favorably against peers and aligns with increasing investor focus on ESG performance. The strategic appointment of Rodrigo Dalle Fiore as Chief Exploration and Development Officer brings valuable unconventional resource expertise at a critical juncture in the company's portfolio evolution.

NOTICE
Additional information about GeoPark can be found in the Invest with Us section of the website at www.geo-park.com.
Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release and its supplementary information have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release and its supplementary information have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release and its supplementary information may not sum due to rounding.
This press release and its supplementary information contain certain oil and gas metrics, including information per share, operating netback, reserve life index and others, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release and its supplementary information contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.
Forward-looking statements that appear in a number of places in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, regarding various matters, including production, timing for closing of the acquisition transaction, Work Program and Investment Guidelines, strategic initiatives, growth and capital allocation. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to the management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the Company which could affect whether these forward-looking statements are realized, see filings with the
Oil and gas production figures included in this press release and its supplementary information are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses. Annual production per day is obtained by dividing total production by 365 days.
Non-GAAP Measures: The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and operating netback per boe, which are each non-GAAP measures, are useful because they allow the Company to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the period before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options and stock awards, unrealized results on commodity risk management contracts and other non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of profit or cash flow as determined by IFRS. The Company excludes the items listed above from profit for the period in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of profit, see the accompanying financial tables and the supplementary information.
Operating Netback per boe: Operating netback per boe should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from operating netback per boe are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of operating netback per boe. The Company’s calculation of operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
