Vista Results of the Third Quarter of 2023

October 24, 2023, Mexico City, Mexico

Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VIST in the New York Stock Exchange; BMV: VISTA in the Mexican Stock Exchange), reported today financial and operational results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Q3 2023 highlights:

 

   

Q3 2023 total production was 49,450 boe/d, a 6% increase q-o-q and a 2% decrease compared to Q3 2022. On a pro forma basis, adjusting by the production of the Conventional Assets Transaction as of March 1, 2023, production increased 12% y-o-y (1). Oil production in Q3 2023 was 41,490 bbl/d, a 6% sequential increase, mainly driven by tie-in of 12 new wells in Bajada del Palo Oeste, and a 1% decrease y-o-y.

 

   

Revenues in Q3 2023 were 289.7 $MM, 25% above Q2 2023, mainly driven by higher export volumes and crude oil realized prices, and 13% below compared to Q3 2022. During Q3 2023, revenues from oil and gas exports were 165.9 $MM and represented 57% of total revenues. Oil exports in Q3 2023 were 165.4 $MM and represented 61% of oil revenues.

 

   

In Q3 2023, the average realized crude oil price was 67.6 $/bbl, a 5% increase compared to the average realized crude oil price of Q2 2023, and a 12% decrease compared to Q3 2022.

 

   

The realized natural gas price for Q3 2023 was 3.3 $/MMBtu, a 24% decrease y-o-y, mainly driven by a 50% decrease in prices in the industrial segment.

 

   

Lifting cost in Q3 2023 was 4.8 $/boe, representing a 35% decrease compared to Q3 2022, mainly driven by our new operating model fully focused on shale oil operations, following the Conventional Assets Transaction, and flat vis-à-vis Q2 2023.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2023 was 226.4 $MM, a 49% increase q-o-q, mainly driven by higher revenues amid flat lifting costs, and a 3% decrease compared to Q3 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 78%, 8 p.p. above Q3 2022 and 12 p.p. above Q2 2023.

 

   

Adjusted Net Income during Q3 2023 totaled 122.5 $MM, compared to 79.4 $MM during Q3 2022, mainly driven by a lower Current Income tax expense, and partially offset by a higher loss in Financial results (net of changes in the fair value of Warrants) and a lower Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EPS was 1.29 $/share in Q3 2023, compared to 0.92 $/share in Q3 2022.

 

   

In Q3 2023, Capex was 181.2 $MM, mainly in connection with the drilling of 11 wells and the completion of 12 wells in Bajada del Palo Oeste during the quarter.

In Q3 2023, the Company recorded a negative free cash flow of 43.5 $MM. Cash flow generated by operating activities was 117.3 $MM, mainly impacted by income tax payments of 22.3 $MM and a temporary increase in working capital of 66.4 $MM. Cash flow used in investing activities reached 160.8 $MM for the quarter, mainly driven by the drilling and completion activity previously described. Cash flow used in financing activities totaled 5.3 $MM, mainly driven by proceeds from borrowings of 70.0 $MM and payment of borrowings principal of 22.5 $MM.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2023 was 226.4 $MM, a 3% decrease compared to Q3 2022, mainly driven by the above-mentioned decrease in revenues, which was partially offset by a 37% decrease in lifting cost and other income of 20.4 $MM from the JV with Trafigura (which included 3 pads tied-in during the quarter) in Q3 2023 compared to other income of 9.0 $MM from the JV with Trafigura in Q3 2022. Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA increased 49%, mainly driven by higher revenues amid flat lifting costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 78%, 8 p.p. above Q3 2022 and 12 p.p. above Q2 2023.
