Commenting on the results Wale Tinubu, Group Chief Executive, Oando PLC said:

"The heightened militancy and pipeline vandalism acts within the Niger Delta region dealt a substantial blow
to our upstream operations, resulting in a marked reduction in our crude production volumes due to the
protracted shut-ins for repair following each incidence. This was

further compounded by a major gas plant fire incident which also necessitated a lengthy downtime.

Furthermore, a rise in our net interest expense due to increased interest rates on several of our major
facilities in line with global rates increases, also contributed to our Loss after Tax position.
In response, we have put in place definitive measures to bolster our production and cash inflows towards
ensuring a speedy return to profitability by collaborating with our partners to institute a comprehensive
security framework aimed at permanently curbing the persistent pipeline vandalism whilst concurrently
exploring inorganic growth opportunities to increase our reserves and production capabilities. We have also
implemented a strategic restructuring of our key facilities to ensure they align with our cash flow dynamics."

Revenue

Revenue for the period was positively impacted by a significant increase in traded crude oil and refined
products volumes, as well as higher realized average crude oil and natural gas prices. However, this was
negatively impacted by a 23% decline in production due to increased sabotage activities across the Niger
Delta, feed gas supply constraints. and a 13% decline in realized average NGL price.

Operating Profit

The decrease in Operating Profit in 2022 compared to 2021 was due to the absence in 2022, of significant
one-off large reversals of impairments which occurred in 2021, the rationale of which was explained in detail
in our 2021 Audited Financials and Financial Press Release. This was slightly offset by a 23% decrease in
Administrative Expenses in 2022.

Loss-After-Tax

The above factors, coupled with a marked rise in our net interest expense due to increased interest rates
on several of our major facilities in line with increases in global interest rates.

Total Borrowings

Total Borrowings increased by 10% to N507.3billion (compared to N460.8 billion in FYE 2021).
