Production + Growth Potential = Dividend + Upside
The Company expects to become a dividend payer as i3's Canadian business expands. Under current market conditions, residual free cash flow above the dividend will likely be redeployed to acquire additional developed producing reserves or to exploit the best production adding opportunities within the Canadian portfolio, in order to replace natural decline and increase production levels. At such time as markets improve and acquisition multiples become unattractive, i3 will focus on unlocking the material value held in its acquired proven undeveloped (PUD) and 2P inventory, which has the capacity to more than double current production levels into a strengthening commodity price environment. Fresh production will be hedged in these strengthening markets to secure future cash flow or, alternatively, the Company may monetize new production so that it returns additional value to shareholders.
