Exhibit 99.2

 

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Introduction 

 

On April 30, 2024, VAALCO Energy (Holdings), LLC (“Buyer”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of VAALCO Energy, Inc. (“VAALCO”), completed the previously announced acquisition of Svenska Petroleum Exploration Aktiebolag, a company incorporated in Sweden (“Svenska”) from Petroswede AB, a company incorporated in Sweden (“Seller”), whereby Buyer acquired all of the issued shares in the capital Svenska and Svenska became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of VAALCO (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement entered into by Buyer and Seller on February 29, 2024.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information of VAALCO is comprised of (i) the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, after giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2023; (ii) the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, after giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023; and (iii) the accompanying notes (collectively, the “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information”).

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been derived from the (i) historical audited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes of VAALCO and Svenska, respectively as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The consolidated financial statements of VAALCO were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of Svenska were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been prepared by VAALCO's management for illustrative purposes only. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of VAALCO or the combined entity would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the respective dates assumed, nor is it indicative of the future results of VAALCO. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and include certain estimates and assumptions made by VAALCO management; accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” using assumptions set forth in the notes herein. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined entity may achieve as a result of the Acquisition. The pro forma adjustments reflected in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management that we believe to be reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the preliminary purchase price allocation.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information should be read together with (i) VAALCO’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024; (ii) Svenska’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in Exhibit 99.1 of VAALCO’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on July [15], 2024; and (iii) the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

 

1. Basis of Preparation

 

This Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VAALCO and Svenska as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” using assumptions set forth in the notes herein.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023.

 

The consolidated financial statements of VAALCO were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of Svenska were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. As such, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information includes adjustments to align the accounting policies of Svenska to those of VAALCO.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and include certain estimates and assumptions made by management; accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the pro forma information. Management believes the assumptions provide a reasonable and supportable basis for presenting the estimated significant effects of the Acquisition. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information is provided for illustrative purposes only and may or may not provide an indication of results in the future.

 

2. Application of U.S. GAAP and Reclassification Adjustments

 

The consolidated financial statements of Svenska were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. For purposes of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information, the financial information of Svenska has been adjusted to give effect to the material differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, to the extent that such historical IFRS and U.S.GAAP differences are not affected by the adjustments relating to preliminary purchase price allocation described in Note 3 below. Other differences impacted by the preliminary purchase price allocation are included as other “pro forma adjustments” as described in Note 3 and 4 below. Further, certain adjustments to Svenska’s financial information are required to conform Svenska’s presentation and classification policies to those of VAALCO, as described below.

3. Preliminary Acquisition Accounting and Other Pro Forma adjustments and Assumptions

 

 

(a)

Consideration for the Combination and Purchase Price Allocation

 

The Acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations with VAALCO being the acquiring entity.

 

VAALCO’s allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase consideration with respect to the Acquisition is based on estimate of, and assumptions related to, the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of April 30, 2024, using current available information. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including but not limited to changes in the estimated fair value of Svenska’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the Acquisition, which could result from changes in future oil and natural gas commodity prices, reserve estimates, interest rates, discount rates as well as other factors. Because the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the resulting effect on the financial position and results of operation of the combined business may be materially different from the pro forma amounts included herein.

 

VAALCO expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably practicable after completing the Acquisition, and upon consideration of any incremental information as part of the finalization of the measurement process. The finalization of the purchase price allocation will not extend beyond the one-year measurement period provided under ASC 805. Further, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information does not reflect any revenue and operating synergies or cost savings that may result from the Acquisition.

 

 

 

Under the terms of the Acquisition, VAALCO paid approximately $40.2 million in cash as consideration for the acquisition.

 

The following information summarizes the provisional purchase consideration and preliminary allocation of the fair values assigned to the assets at the purchase date:

(a)

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

 

Represents the incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization related to the assets acquired in the Acquisition, which is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Depletion of petroleum and natural gas assets was calculated using the unit-of-production method, adjusted to reflect a) the fair value of Svenska’s Crude oil and natural gas properties, equipment and other – successful efforts method, net as of the Acquisition date as though the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023; and b) estimates of Svenska’s proved reserves following the methodology required by SEC regulations.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Impairment of oil and gas properties

 

Represents the reversal of impairment of oil and gas properties under IFRS. 

 

 

(c)

Interest income (expense), net

 

Adjustment to reflect the incremental accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations on Properties acquired.

 

 

(d)

Income Tax

 

Adjustment to reflect income tax expense resulting from acquisition. The adjustment was calculated by applying the applicable tax rate to the total change in income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

 

5. Supplemental Pro Forma Information on Crude Oil and Natural Gas Producing Activities

 

The following tables present the estimated pro forma combined net proved developed and undeveloped crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) prepared as of December 31, 2023, along with a summary of changes in the quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2022. The combined standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved reserves as of December 31, 2023, are also presented.

 

This pro forma combined reserve, production and standardized measure information gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023. The historical proved reserves information presented below represent the respective estimates made as of December 31, 2023, by VAALCO and Svenska while they were separate companies. These estimates have not been updated for changes in development plans or other factors, which have occurred or may occur subsequent to December 31, 2023, or subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition. This pro forma information has been prepared for illustrative purposes and is not intended to be a projection of future results of the combined business.
