Another piece of good news from Zephyr today as the company reports production from its non-operated portfolio, which despite a small drop, understandably attributed to natural decline, showed excellent revenues as the 71% of production mix being in oil benefited from strong realisations and exceeded expectations.
The company have been a market leader in this innovative financing of its wider portfolio funding requirements and in addition to the revenues it has received, has made very smart asset disposals which have contributed significantly to the Zephyrโs finances. The company has also recovered a $1m bad debt previously written off in the 2024 accounts, it never rains but it shines eh?
Indeed the acquisition made only last August has not only generated nearly $9m in revenues and disposal gains but additionally retains the vast majority of production from the transaction, โdemonstrating the excellent economics of the dealโ.
On Tuesday I wrote that the ILI news validated my 20p target price and that the shares were up a short 10% on the day, today the shares are up 3.5% and over 3p but this news can only add to the potential value for Zephyr. I remain convinced that as seen today that the non-operated portfolio is proving a fantastic asset for the company as it moves sharply towards developing the Paradox Basin, itself a blue chip asset.
