The lower oil prices hit everyone, Sheikhs as well as shale fracking Americans, not to mention ourselves - the shareholders of Tethys Oil. Oil prices have always been cyclical, and eventually the prices will need to stabilize and to improve. But while we have seen the value of oil companies fall in line with the fall in oil price, let us remember that Tethys’ operational performance continues to improve and the financial results are solid: Oil production continues to increase. Production in the second quarter was the highest in the company’s history and increased with 8 per cent quarter on quarter and 30 per cent year on year to 9,434 barrels of oil per day. Tethys Oil continues to make good money. 57 dollar per barrel, the average price we achieved during the second quarter 2015, resulted in strong sales of MSEK 265, a healthy EBITDA of MSEK 153 and earnings per share of SEK 1.52 for the quarter. Tethys Oil has a strong balance sheet. With a pile of cash and untapped lines of credit, Tethys Oil continues to have one of the strongest balance sheets of our peer group. Even after the distribution to shareholders in the second quarter of MSEK 106 or SEK 3.00 per share, and after investments, Tethys Oil has a cash balance of more than MSEK 300 as at 30 June 2015. Tethys Oil continues to grow organically. Our investments in Blocks 3 and 4 have over the years resulted in growing production and increasing reserves. After only having seriously explored a portion of the vast area, we have three producing oilfields and several producing rock layers. As ever larger areas are covered by 3D seismic, we are getting an even better picture of the potential of Blocks 3 and 4. The scope for growth in Blocks 3 and 4 remains quite high indeed. Tethys Oil is in a strong predatory position. The drop in oil prices is much more painful for many of our peers – something we intend to capitalize on. During most of the first six months of 2015, we saw oil prices recover from their January lows. It most likely had a negative effect on potential seller’s willingness to sell. The sharp drop we have seen since June and the return to the lows of January, should remove some of this reluctance to complete a deal. We are actively pursuing acquisition opportunities and remain cautiously optimistic about our prospects. And remember – in this regard yet lower oil prices, for a while, are a help. Tethys Oil pays dividends. As a unique feature for oil companies on the Stockholm stock exchange, Tethys Oil in the second quarter made a cash distribution to shareholders. And we intend to continue to pay out, even at today’s oil prices! Our intentions regarding future distribution to shareholders are clarified in the long term new capital structure target presented in a separate press release issued at the date of this report. So stay with us – We believe we are one of the most exciting oil related investments around. We offer exposure to the oil price and - while we wait for it to improve - we offer growth, acquisition opportunities and a yield.
