No they will not cut dividends next year, do you not think the directors have taken into account the price of oil in $60s? Why pay a second interim 2025 dividend of $133m? Crude oil was about $62.5 when the interim results and now it's over $65. They will be producing much more kboe/d . (FY production guidance range upgraded to 119-125 kboe/d from 109-119 kboe/d, ) (representing a 8 kboe/d increase at the mid-point)
(- Expected acceleration of second interim 2025 dividend to December 2025, of $133 million, due to strong year-to-date performance and cash generation totalling $500 million of cash distributions in 2025)
(Executive Chairman, Yaniv Friedman, commented: "Our first-half results demonstrate the strength and resilience of our transformed business. With production more than doubling year-on-year and adjusted EBITDAX exceeding $1.1 billion, we are delivering on our strategy of disciplined investment and operational excellence. As we adjust our guidance upwards for the remainder of the year, we continue to remain focused on maximising long-term value creation and returns for our shareholders. The declaration of a $167 million interim dividend and expected acceleration of a second interim dividend of $133 million to December 2025, underscores our commitment to delivering sustainable value to shareholders, reaffirming our full-year dividend target of $500 million. Strategic progress across our West of Shetland developments and recent acquisitions executing on our UKCS growth strategy, further position us for long-term growth.")
