Partial Hedge Unwind
The Company believes that the winters 23/24 and 24/25 will present the possibility of price spikes as geopolitical tensions and the potential for cold snaps remain. As a consequence, the Company has reduced its future hedge exposure, taking advantage of the recent sell off in gas prices. As announced, the Company has unwound 50% of its hedge position in the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. Angus has agreed to settle the following volumes at the following fixed prices: in 3Q24, 1,840,000 therms at GBP1.226/therm; in 4Q24/1Q25, 3,640,000 therms at GBP1.37/therm; in 2Q25, 1,820,000 therms at GBP1.07/therm. This action will provide the Company with exposure to price upside during this period, while keeping 50% of current hedges in place. Settlement of these transactions will take place in the future in the normal way.
