Operating costs per boe represents the figures used in Adjusted EBITDA calculation with certain adjustments to the reported figures.

The table below provides a breakdown of production and operating costs in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021:

(In millions of $)	2Q2022	2Q2021
Royalties in cash	82.8	24.6
Operating costs	27.4	28.3
Purchased crude oil	4.4	-
Share-based payments	0.4	0.1
Production and operating costs	115.1	53.0

Consolidated royalties in cash amounted to $82.8 million in 2Q2022 compared to $24.6 million in 2Q2021, in line with higher oil prices. Royalties in cash included base royalties ($18.8 million and $9.4 million in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021), high price participation ($49.4 million and $9.4 million in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021), and economic rights ($14.6 million and $5.8 million in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021).

Consolidated operating costs decreased to $27.4 million in 2Q2022 compared to $28.3 million in 2Q2021. The decrease in consolidated operating costs results from the divestment of assets in Argentina (2Q2021 included $3.1 million related to operating costs in the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks that were divested in January 2022), partially offset by higher operating costs in Colombia and Chile, and the addition of operating costs coming from Ecuador.

The breakdown of operating costs is as follows:

• Colombia: Total operating costs increased to $21.4 million in 2Q2022 from $21.0 million in 2Q2021, mainly due to higher deliveries (deliveries in Colombia increased by 13%).
• Chile: Total operating costs increased to $4.4 million in 2Q2022 from $3.3 million in 2Q2021, in line with higher operating costs per boe due to higher well maintenance costs, partially offset by lower oil and gas deliveries (deliveries in Chile decreased by 9%).
• Brazil: Total operating costs decreased to $0.8 million in 2Q2022 from $0.9 million in 2Q2021, due to lower gas deliveries in the Manati field (deliveries in Brazil decreased by 19%), partially offset by higher operating costs per boe.
• Ecuador: Operating costs per boe amounted to $32.7¹¹ in 2Q2022. Total operating costs were $0.9 million in 2Q2022.
• Argentina: The divestment of the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks was completed in January 2022. The comparative period, 2Q2021, included $3.1 million in operating costs.

Consolidated purchased crude oil charges amounted to $4.4 million in 2Q2022,which corresponds to oil trading operations (purchasing and selling crude oil from third parties with the sale of purchased oil being reflected in revenue).

Selling Expenses: Consolidated selling expenses decreased to $1.2 million in 2Q2022 compared to $1.8 million in 2Q2021.

Geological & Geophysical Expenses: Consolidated G&G expenses increased to $3.0 million in 2Q2022 compared to $2.1 million in 2Q2021.

Administrative Expenses: Consolidated G&A decreased to $10.8 million in 2Q2022 compared to $12.7 million in 2Q2021 due to lower staff costs, consultant fees and communication and other costs.

Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA¹² increased by 140% to $144.8 million, or $41.9 per boe, in 2Q2022 compared to $60.5 million, or $18.5 per boe, in 2Q2021.

NOTICE

Additional information about GeoPark can be found in the “Investor Support” section on the website at www.geo-park.com.

Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this press release may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release may not sum due to rounding.

This press release contains 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 contains 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, emission reduction goals, expected or future production, production growth and operating and financial performance, operating netback, future opportunities, our deleveraging process, the redemption of the 2024 Notes, the interconnection of the Tigana Field to Colombia’s national grid, our dividend or other distributions and capital expenditures plan. 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Oil and gas production figures included in this release 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.

Information about oil and gas reserves: The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proven, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. GeoPark uses certain terms in this press release, such as “PRMS Reserves” that the SEC's guidelines do not permit GeoPark from including in filings with the SEC. As a result, the information in the Company’s SEC filings with respect to reserves will differ significantly from the information in this press release.

NPV10 for PRMS 1P, 2P and 3P reserves is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow for SEC proved reserves.

The reserve estimates provided in this release are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may eventually prove to be greater than, or less than, the estimates provided herein. Statements relating to reserves are by their nature forward-looking statements.

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, return on capital employed 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 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 for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

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. For a reconciliation of operating netback per boe to the IFRS financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

Net Debt: Net debt is defined as current and non-current borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
