Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite communications will support U.S. servicemen overseas

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SES Government Solutions (SES GS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES, today announced the award of a new portable maritime solution task order against the single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) low-latency High Throughput Satellite (HTS) services. The solution leverages the O3b MEO satellite constellation operating 8,000km away from Earth.



The Department of Defense procured a portable MEO service to support forward deployed U.S. military personnel. Initial deployment of the service exceeded customer expectations and was very well received. This represents a significant breakthrough with the DoD using O3b MEO capabilities for portable high-throughput, low-latency services.

SES GS’s solution integrates the O3b MEO system with a portable antenna and is designed to support both portability and freedom of movement. The self-contained ruggedized design houses all equipment in a rack system with AC unit, power distribution and a battery backup system and can achieve upwards of 400 Mbps x 200 Mbps of throughput over the O3b network.

“The need to provide resilient and diverse satellite communications is critical to meeting Department of Defense SATCOM requirements,” said President and CEO of SES Government Solutions, Brigadier General Pete Hoene, USAF (retired). “This industrial-grade, high-throughput, low-latency capability has been integrated into a turnkey MEO terminal and can be scaled up or down based on the number of users and support requirements. The demonstrated throughput is unsurpassed in a portable maritime system of this size.”

With its new portable maritime solution, SES GS is proud to provide unprecedented connectivity in support of the deployed U.S. DoD personnel and looks forward to continuing mission support with its next-generation O3b mPOWER capability.

Q4 2020 Summary of Results

Net sales of $210.7 million increased 4% versus the prior quarter primarily due to higher sales in the ACS and PES business units. ACS net sales increased due to strong automotive demand for ADAS applications, partially offset by a decline in defense market demand. PES net sales increased in the EV/HEV market, partially offset by a decrease in the industrial power and mass transit markets. EMS net sales increased slightly from continued growth in the EV/HEV market and improved demand in the general industrial and traditional automotive markets, partially offset by a decline in portable electronics market sales. Currency exchange rates favorably impacted total company net sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 by $3.1 million compared to prior quarter net sales.

Gross margin was 38.3%, compared to 37.4% in the prior quarter. The increase in gross margin was due to higher volumes, improved productivity and yields and operational cost savings, partially offset by higher freight costs, commodity price increases and unfavorable product mix.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased slightly from the prior quarter to $50.0 million. In line with the Company's expectations, $11.8 million of accelerated intangible amortization expense was incurred related to the DSP business in the fourth quarter, compared to $11.7 million of accelerated expense in the prior quarter.

Restructuring and impairment charges of $3.6 million were recognized in the fourth quarter, compared to $9.4 million in the prior quarter. The charges in both the third and fourth quarters were primarily related to manufacturing footprint optimization plans to better align capacity with end market demand, improve factory utilization and increase cost competitiveness.

GAAP operating margin of 9.5% increased by 510 basis points sequentially primarily due to the improved gross margin and lower restructuring related charges. Adjusted operating margin of 18.4% increased by 110 basis points versus the prior quarter, primarily as a result of improved gross margin.

GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.81, compared to $0.37 per diluted share in the previous quarter. The increase in GAAP earnings resulted from higher net sales, improved gross margin and lower restructuring related expenses, partially offset by higher tax expense. On an adjusted basis, earnings were $1.58 per diluted share compared to adjusted earnings of $1.45 per diluted share in the prior quarter. The increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share resulted from higher net sales and improved gross margin, partially offset by higher tax expense.

Ending cash and cash equivalents were $191.8 million, an increase of $5.7 million versus the prior quarter. The Company generated strong free cash flow of approximately $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities of $51.4 million was offset by $35.0 million of principal payments made on the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and capital expenditures of $11.4 million. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, cash exceeded borrowings by $166.8 million.

Full Year 2020 Summary of Results

Net sales of $802.6 million decreased 11% compared to 2019 due to lower sales in all business units. The decline in net sales were mainly due to impacts on market demand from the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of trade restrictions on the wireless infrastructure market. Currency exchange rates had an immaterial impact on total company net sales during 2020. ACS net sales decreased in the wireless infrastructure and automotive markets, partially offset by strong growth in the defense market. EMS net sales decreased due to lower demand in the general industrial, mass transit, consumer and automotive markets, partially offset by robust growth in the EV/HEV market and slight growth in the portable electronics market. PES net sales decreased due to lower demand in the industrial power, mass transit and vehicle electrification markets, offset by strong growth in the EV/HEV and renewable energy markets.

Gross margin was 36.4% compared to 35.0% in 2019. The increase in gross margin resulted from operational cost savings, lower freight, duties and tariffs costs, productivity and yield improvements and favorable product mix, partially offset by lower volume, increased inventory reserves and higher COVID-19 related costs.

SG&A expenses increased by $13.6 million to $182.3 million from the prior year, primarily from $27.4 million of accelerated intangible amortization expense associated with the DSP business, partially offset by lower travel and other expense reduction actions.

Restructuring and impairment charges were $13.0 million, compared to $2.5 million in 2019. The charges in 2020 were related to manufacturing footprint optimization plans to better align capacity with end market demand, improve factory utilization and increase cost competitiveness.

GAAP operating margin decreased to 8.4%, from 12.3% in the prior year, primarily due to higher SG&A and restructuring related charges, partially offset by gross margin improvement. Adjusted operating margin was 15.7% and unchanged from 2019.

GAAP earnings per diluted share were $2.67, compared to $2.53 per diluted share, for full year 2019. The increase resulted from lower pension settlement charges in 2020, which was partially offset by higher SG&A, restructuring charges and tax expense. On an adjusted basis, earnings were $5.08 per diluted share for full year 2020, compared to $6.14 per diluted share for full year 2019. The decrease in adjusted earnings was from lower revenue and higher tax expense, partially offset by the improvement in gross margin.

Ending cash and cash equivalents of $191.8 million increased by $24.9 million versus the prior year. The Company generated strong operating cash flow of $165.1 million and free cash flow of $124.7 million in 2020.

Financial Outlook

As recently announced, a fire caused extensive damage to Rogers' Utis manufacturing facility in S. Korea on February 9th and operations were disrupted. The Company is considering various recovery options and expects to resume production in S. Korea during the fourth quarter of this year. An estimate of the impact of this event is included in the first quarter financial outlook.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures

Non-GAAP financial measures:

This earnings release includes the following financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”):

(1) Adjusted net income, which the Company defines as net income excluding amortization of acquisition intangible assets and discrete items, such as acquisition and related integration costs, changes in foreign jurisdiction tax regulation on equity awards attributable to a prior period, asbestos-related charges, environmental accrual adjustment, gains from indemnity claims, gains or losses on the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, pension settlement charges, restructuring, severance, impairment and other related costs, and the related income tax effect on these items (collectively, “discrete items”), and transition services, net;

(2) Adjusted earnings per diluted share, which the Company defines as earnings per diluted share excluding amortization of acquisition intangible assets, discrete items, transition services, net and the impact of including dilutive securities divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding - diluted;

(3) Adjusted operating margin, which the Company defines as operating margin excluding acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets, discrete items excluding pension settlement charges, and transition services, net;

(4) Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income excluding interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, transition services lease income and discrete items;

(5) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which the Company defines as the percentage that results from dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total net sales;

(6) Free cash flow, which the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities less non-acquisition capital expenditures.

Management believes adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to the Company’s performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure the Company’s core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in the Company’s business and evaluate the Company’s performance relative to peer companies. Management also believes free cash flow is useful to investors as an additional way of viewing the Company's liquidity and provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's cash flows. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.

ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$HASI #earnings--Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. ("Hannon Armstrong," "we," "our" or the "Company") (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in climate change solutions, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2020.

Beginning with this quarter, we are changing the name of our primary Non-GAAP earnings metric from Core (Pre-CECL) earnings to distributable earnings with no change in the historical method of calculation. We will no longer be reporting a Core earnings metric which includes the CECL provision. Reconciliations of our GAAP EPS to our Distributable EPS and our GAAP-based Net Investment Income to our Distributable Net Investment Income are included below in this press release.

Financial Results

"In 2020, we achieved significant growth in our balance sheet portfolio, which is currently $2.9 billion, and we capitalized on favorable market conditions and our leading ESG position to raise significant capital and deploy it to fund climate solutions with attractive risk-adjusted returns," said Hannon Armstrong Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey A. Lipson.

"With our new $50 million sustainability-linked unsecured revolving credit facility with J.P. Morgan, and our demonstrated access to the capital markets, we are well-positioned to fund our forward flow investment commitments in addition to other anticipated growth opportunities."

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019

Total revenue increased by $45 million, or 32%. Gain on sale and fee income increased by $26 million and interest and rental income increased by $19 million. These increases were primarily driven by the addition of higher yielding assets to an overall larger portfolio as well as a change in the volume and mix of assets being securitized.

Interest expense increased $28 million, or 43%, primarily as a result of a higher outstanding balance, including $775 million in unsecured debt raised in the second and third quarters. We recorded a $10 million provision for loss on receivables based on loans and loan commitments made during the year in accordance with the new CECL standard, as opposed to an $8 million provision in 2019 on two commercial receivables that were previously placed on non-accrual. Other expenses (compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses) increased by approximately $9 million primarily due to an increase in our employee headcount and incentive compensation.

We recognized $48 million in income using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (HLBV) for our equity method investments in 2020, compared to approximately $64 million of HLBV income in 2019. Lower equity method investment income in 2020 is a result of a gain recognized on the sale of an equity investment in 2019, which did not recur in 2020.

Income tax expense decreased by approximately $11 million in 2020 primarily as a result of the aforementioned sale of an equity investment in 2019 that did not recur, which decreased taxable income in 2020.

GAAP net income in 2020 was $82 million, approximately the same as 2019. Distributable earnings in 2020 was approximately $118 million, or an increase of approximately $25 million from 2019 due primarily to an increase in distributable earnings from equity method investments.

Guidance

The Company expects that annual distributable earnings per share will grow at a compounded annual rate of 7% to 10% from 2021 to 2023, relative to the 2020 baseline of $1.55 per share, which is equivalent to a 2023 midpoint of $1.98 per share. The Company also expects that annual dividends per share will grow at a compound annual rate of 3% to 5% from 2021 to 2023, relative to the 2020 baseline of $1.36 per share, which is equivalent to a 2023 midpoint of $1.53 per share. This guidance reflects the Company’s judgments and estimates of (i) yield on its existing Portfolio; (ii) yield on incremental Portfolio investments, inclusive of the Company’s existing pipeline; (iii) the volume and profitability of securitization transactions; (iv) amount, timing, and costs of debt and equity capital to fund new investments; (v) changes in costs and expenses reflective of the Company’s forecasted operations, (vi) the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the speed and efficacy of vaccine distribution on economic conditions and (vii) the general interest rate and market environment. All guidance is based on current expectations of the ongoing and future impact of COVID-19 and the speed and efficacy of vaccine distribution on economic conditions, the regulatory environment, the dynamics of the markets in which we operate and the judgment of the Company’s management team. The Company has not provided GAAP guidance as discussed in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements:

Some of the information contained in this press release is forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For these statements, we claim the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in such Sections. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. When we use the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "continue," "intend," "should," "may" or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in other periodic reports that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Other important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below, including the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), on the U.S., regional and global economies, the U.S. sustainable infrastructure market and the broader financial markets. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors below and the risks described in the Form 10-K and in our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Other factors besides those listed could also adversely affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally, uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity including the timing of the successful distribution of an effective vaccine.

Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking:

  • negative impacts from continued spread of COVID-19, including on the U.S. or global economy or on our business, financial position or results of operations;
  • our expected returns and performance of our investments;
  • the state of government legislation, regulation and policies that support or enhance the economic feasibility of projects that reduce carbon emissions or increase resilience to climate change, which we refer to as climate change solutions, including energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and the general market demands for such projects;
  • market trends in our industry, energy markets, commodity prices, interest rates, the debt and lending markets or the general economy;
  • our business and investment strategy;
  • availability of opportunities to invest in climate change solutions including energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and our ability to complete potential new opportunities in our pipeline;
  • our relationships with originators, investors, market intermediaries and professional advisers;
  • competition from other providers of capital;
  • our or any other company’s projected operating results;
  • actions and initiatives of the federal, state and local governments and changes to federal, state and local government policies, regulations, tax laws and rates and the execution and impact of these actions, initiatives and policies;
  • the state of the U.S. economy generally or in specific geographic regions, states or municipalities and economic trends;
  • our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements on favorable terms, including securitizations;
  • general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate;
  • the credit quality of our assets;
  • changes in the value of our assets, our portfolio of assets and our investment and underwriting process;
  • the impact of weather conditions, natural disasters, accidents or equipment failures or other events that disrupt the operation of our investments or negatively impact the value of our assets;
  • rates of default or decreased recovery rates on our assets;
  • interest rate and maturity mismatches between our assets and any borrowings used to fund such assets;
  • changes in interest rates and the market value of our assets and target assets;
  • changes in commodity prices, including continued low natural gas prices;
  • effects of hedging instruments on our assets or liabilities;
  • the degree to which our hedging strategies may or may not protect us from risks, such as interest rate volatility;
  • impact of and changes in accounting guidance;
  • our ability to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
  • our ability to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
  • availability of and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
  • estimates relating to our ability to generate sufficient cash in the future to operate our business and to make distributions to our stockholders; and
  • our understanding of our competition.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, assumptions and expectations as of the date of this press release. Any forward- looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this earnings release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Company has not provided GAAP guidance as forecasting a comparable GAAP financial measure, such as net income, would require that the Company apply the HLBV method to these investments. In order to forecast under the HLBV method, the Company would be required to make various assumptions related to expected changes in the net asset value of the various entities and how such changes would be allocated under HLBV. GAAP HLBV earnings over a period of time are very sensitive to these assumptions especially in regard to when a partnership transaction flips and thus the liquidation scenarios change materially. The Company believes that these assumptions would require unreasonable efforts to complete and if completed, the wide variation in projected GAAP earnings based upon a range of scenarios would not be meaningful to investors. Accordingly, the Company has not included a GAAP reconciliation table related to any distributable earnings guidance.

Estimated carbon savings are calculated using the estimated kilowatt hours, gallons of fuel oil, million British thermal units of natural gas and gallons of water saved as appropriate, for each project. The energy savings are converted into an estimate of metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions based upon the project’s location and the corresponding emissions factor data from the U.S. Government and International Energy Agency. Portfolios of projects are represented on an aggregate basis.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Canola Oil Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global canola oil market reached a volume of 27.3 Million Tons in 2020.

The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, in confluence with the growing health consciousness among individuals, represents one of the key factors fueling the global canola oil market growth. As canola oil contains a high amount of oleic acid that aids in lowering the cholesterol levels present in the body, it is increasingly being used as a cooking oil and salad dressing. Apart from this, it is employed in the personal care and cosmetics industries on account of its anti-aging properties, which assist in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes.

Other than this, the residual obtained after the production of canola oil has significant amounts of amino acid and a low count of glucosinolates. Thus, it is utilized as livestock feed for providing vitamins, minerals and fiber to the animals, which in turn is anticipated to strengthen the market growth in the coming years.

Key Questions Answered in This Report:

  • How has the global canola oil market performed so far and how will it perform in the coming years?
  • What has been the impact of COVID-19 on the global canola oil industry?
  • What are the key regional markets in the industry?
  • What are the major application segments in the industry?
  • What are the main packaging segments in the industry?
  • What are the price trends of canola oil?
  • What are the various stages in the value chain of the industry?
  • What are the key driving factors and challenges in the industry?
  • What is the structure of the industry and who are the key players?
  • What is the degree of competition in the global canola oil industry?
  • What are the profit margins in the global canola oil industry?
  • What are the key requirements for setting up a canola oil manufacturing plant?
  • How is canola oil manufactured?
  • What are the various unit operations involved in a canola oil manufacturing plant?
  • What is the total size of land required for setting up a canola oil manufacturing plant?
  • What are the machinery requirements for setting up a canola oil manufacturing plant?
  • What are the raw material requirements for setting up a canola oil manufacturing plant?
  • What are the packaging requirements for canola oil?

James F. Park, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Thanks and congratulations to our team for these strong 2020 results in a remarkably challenging year with so much of our focus on keeping our people and communities safe and healthy and with significantly reduced work programs. We previously reported on our success in growing production in 2020 for the 18th straight year. So, after a record production year (and after adjusting for the divestment of our non-producing Morona block), we were able to replace all of our produced oil and gas and continue growing our total PD, 2P and 3P reserves. This again highlights the quality of our assets, the benefits of our self-funded flexible work program, and our ability to effectively allocate capital even in the toughest environments. Our large, certified reserve base gives us a powerful inventory of low-risk, low-cost development drilling opportunities to continue to generate and grow cash flow over the short and medium-term. Additional good news is the big exploration resource certification on our expanded acreage in Colombia that demonstrates the attractiveness of our land position—as well as the extensive running room we have in the short, medium, and long-term.”

1 Reserves and NPV10 after tax comparisons against 2019 refer to 2019 pro forma figures, which exclude reserves from the Morona block in Peru and in the REC-T-128 block in Brazil. On July 15, 2020, GeoPark notified its irrevocable decision to retire from the non-producing Morona block (Block 64) in Peru, due to extended force majeure, which allows for the termination of the license contract. Also, in July 2020, GeoPark initiated a farm-out process to sell its 70% WI in the currently non-producing REC-T-128 block in Brazil. Resulting from the above, reserves and NPV10 after tax corresponding to the Morona block and the REC-T-128 block were excluded from the 2020 D&M certification.

6 Excludes reserves from the Morona block in Peru and the REC-T-128 block in Brazil. On July 15, 2020, GeoPark notified its irrevocable decision to retire from the non-producing Morona block (Block 64) in Peru, due to extended force majeure, which allows for the termination of the license contract. Also, in July 2020, GeoPark initiated a farm-out process to sell its 70% WI in the currently non-producing REC-T-128 block in Brazil. Resulting from the above, reserves corresponding to the Morona block and the REC-T-128 block were excluded from the 2020 D&M certification.

Analysis by Country

Colombia

2020 Drilling Activity in the Llanos 34 block

GeoPark’s capital expenditures in 2020 in its core Llanos 34 block were limited due to the low oil price environment, which included temporary production shut-ins, minimum maintenance works and the suspension of drilling activities during 2Q2020, which gradually resumed in 2H2020 with the partial recovery in oil prices. Resulting from this, the 2020 drilling plan was mainly focused on lower risk development projects that resulted in PD reserve additions with a reserve replacement of over 100%.

Amerisur Acquisition

The Amerisur acquisition incorporated 13 production, development and exploration blocks, including the CPO-5 block in the Llanos basin and 12 operated blocks in the Putumayo basin, and the OBA pipeline (an export oil pipeline from Colombia to Ecuador).

Amerisur’s reported reserves, certified by McDaniel & Associates as of end-July 2019, were 21.8 mmbbl of net 2P and 31.1 mmbbl of net 3P reserves of light oil, including 9.5 mmbbl net 2P reserves and 14.9 mmbbl net 3P reserves in the CPO-5 block and 12.3 mmbbl 2P reserves and 16.2 mmbbl of 3P reserves in the Platanillo block (GeoPark operated, 100% WI).

2P and 3P Reserves Growth in the CPO-5 Block

As part of the 2020 reserve certification, D&M reviewed all relevant information in the CPO-5 block and certified 2P and 3P gross reserves of 70.5 mmbbl and 167.0 mmbbl in the CPO-5 block (21.1 mmbbl and 50.1 mmbbl of 2P and 3P reserves, net to GeoPark), a significant increase with respect to the previous certification, providing meaningful information with respect to field size and upside potential in this block.

Including acquisitions, for each barrel of oil extracted in Colombia, GeoPark added 1.5 barrels of PD reserves, the equivalent of a PD RRR of 146%. Similarly, for each barrel of oil extracted, GeoPark added 2.0 barrels of 2P reserves and 4.9 barrels of 3P reserves, resulting in a 2P RRR of 199% and a 3P RRR of 490%, respectively.

The 1P RLI was 7.8 years, while the 2P RLI was 11.6 years.

The Llanos 34, CPO-5, Llanos 32 and Platanillo blocks represented 76%, 15%, 5% and 4% of GeoPark 2P D&M certified reserves in Colombia, respectively.

GeoPark’s 2P D&M reserves in Colombia were 100% oil.

Chile

GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Chile increased by 4% to 25.5 mmboe compared to 24.6 mmboe in 2019, resulting from the Jauke Oeste gas field discovery in early 2020 and enhanced reservoir performance in the Fell block (GeoPark operated, 100% WI), partially offset by oil and gas production of 1.2 mmboe.

For each barrel of oil extracted in Chile, GeoPark added 2.4 barrels of PD reserves, the equivalent of a PD RRR of 240%. Similarly, for each barrel of oil extracted, GeoPark added 1.8 barrels of 2P reserves, resulting in a 2P RRR of 179%.

The 1P RLI was 6.1 years. The 2P RLI was 21.5 years.

The Fell block represented 99% of GeoPark 2P D&M certified reserves in Chile.

The 2P D&M reserves in Chile were 34% oil and 66% gas.

Argentina

GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Argentina decreased by 35% to 5.5 mmboe compared to 8.5 mmboe in 2019, resulting from the impact of lower gas prices, delayed development plans and oil and gas production of 0.8 mmboe during 2020.

The 1P RLI was 5.1 years, while the 2P RLI was 6.6 years.

The Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks (GeoPark operated, 100% WI) represented 100% of GeoPark Argentina 2P D&M certified reserves.

The 2P D&M reserves in Argentina were 66% oil and 34% gas.

Brazil

GeoPark’s 2P D&M certified reserves in Brazil decreased by 32% to 2.6 mmboe compared to 3.8 mmboe in 2019, mainly reflecting production of 0.5 mmboe during 2020 and 0.5 mmbbl of 2P reserves in the REC-T-128 block booked in 2019 that were excluded from the 2020 reserve certification as GeoPark initiated a farm-out process to sell its 70% WI in the block.

The 1P RLI was 4.7 years and the 2P RLI was 5.0 years.

The Manati field represented 100% of GeoPark Brazil 2P D&M certified reserves.

The 2P D&M reserves in Brazil were 1% oil and condensate, and 99% gas.

Agreement to sell 10% WI in the Manati gas field: On November 23, 2020, GeoPark announced an agreement to sell its 10% non-operated WI in the Manati gas field to Gas Bridge for a total consideration of R$144.4 million (approximately $27 million), including a fixed payment of R$124.4 million plus an earn-out of R$20.0 million, which is subject to obtaining certain regulatory approvals. The transaction was agreed with an effective date of December 31, 2020 and is subject to certain conditions.

8 Excludes NPV10 after tax related to the Morona block in Peru and to the REC-T-128 block in Brazil. On July 15, 2020, GeoPark notified its irrevocable decision to retire from the non-producing Morona block (Block 64) in Peru, due to extended force majeure, which allows for the termination of the license contract. Also, in July 2020, GeoPark initiated a farm-out process to sell its 70% WI in the currently non-producing REC-T-128 block in Brazil. Resulting from the above, reserves and related NPV10 after tax corresponding to the Morona block and the REC-T-128 block were excluded from the 2020 D&M certification.

Lower Oil Price Forecast

Brent oil prices in the 2020 D&M report are significantly lower than the 2019 D&M report. The price assumptions used to estimate the feasibility of PRMS reserves and NPV10 after tax in 2020 and 2019 D&M reports for the period 2021-2018 are detailed in the table below:

SANDEFJORD, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jotun recorded sales of NOK 21,070 million in 2020, an increase of seven per cent compared to the previous year. Operating profit ended at NOK 3,489 million in a year that was strongly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.


The pandemic had a negative impact on sales in all segments in 2020 and adjusted for currency effects as a result of a weaker Norwegian krone, underlying sales growth was three per cent. The growth was primarily achieved by good growth in sales of decorative paints.

According to CEO Morten Fon, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Jotun’s business in 2020 varied from region to region. “We have experienced a decline in sales in South East Asia and low growth in the Middle East but recorded strong sales growth in important markets such as Scandinavia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia,” he says. “Throughout this period, Jotun has focused on business continuity measures and avoided laying off employees, helping the company to operate successfully and retain a highly skilled and experienced workforce.”

Operating profit is up by 50 per cent compared to 2019. The increase is mainly explained by improved margins, good cost control and positive currency translation effects.

Investments

Jotun invested NOK 1,407 million in 2020, which accounts for about seven per cent of sales and is in line with strategic ambitions. The largest investments were related to new production facilities in Vietnam and Egypt, factory upgrades in Norway and the Czech Republic, a new regional office and research and development (R&D) centre in Dubai and completion of the Group's new headquarters and R&D centre in Norway.

Future outlook

Looking ahead, Jotun anticipates lower activity in shipping and a weaker oil and gas market. In addition, raw materials costs, which began to rise towards the end of last year, are expected to continue to increase. Finally, market uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic are likely to persist in 2021.

"While we have realistic expectations for 2021, Jotun’s robust business model has proven very resilient in a challenging year,” says Fon. “With operations across four segments, a global presence and a strong corporate culture we are confident that Jotun will achieve further profitable growth in the years to come."

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exelon Utilities CEO Calvin G. Butler Jr. was honored February 13 with the BEYA Chairman’s Award during the organization’s annual BEYA STEM conference, hosted virtually. Previously known as the Black Engineer of the Year Awards, the BEYA conference recognizes Black leaders for their meaningful contributions to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).


Butler joined a roster of accomplished Black leaders of Fortune 500 companies and government organizations recognized at the BEYA STEM conference for their service and dedication to opening doors for Black people in STEM. The Chairman’s Award is not given annually, but rather when warranted for outstanding contributions.

“To whom much is given, much is required,” Butler said in his acceptance speech. “We’re committed to standing up, stepping up and being the change we’re all talking about. Teamwork, partnership and service have powered my contributions and impact. That same combination can power a cleaner, brighter future for all of us.”

Exelon President and CEO Chris Crane commended Butler during the program, saying “He’s got heart for the employees, for the customers and for the communities we serve.”

Exelon prioritizes STEM through its workforce development efforts, which focus on preparing work-ready adults and youth for family-supporting careers. Through its long-standing partnerships with select middle schools, high schools and youth organizations in underrepresented communities, Exelon provides mentors, resources and education support to prepare students for higher education and 21st century careers in STEM. In addition, our enterprise-wide STEM education programs are held in each of our major service territories, offering hands-on learning and mentorship to strengthen education and introduce young minds to careers in energy.

Under Butler, Exelon Utilities’ focus on STEM-related workforce development efforts is yielding significant results and powering opportunity for the communities Exelon serves. In the last 18 months, Exelon workforce development programs have resulted in more than 700 new hires at Exelon and companies with which we partner. Our local utility program focuses on opportunities for unemployed and underemployed adults in the most poverty-stricken sections of our cities. Exelon has more than 45 different workforce development programs across our six utilities and Exelon Generation.

Butler serves as a senior executive vice president of Exelon and chief executive officer of Exelon Utilities. In that role, he oversees Exelon’s six local electric and natural gas companies -- Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco. Together, they form the nation’s largest transmission and distribution utility company by customer count, serving approximately 10 million electric and gas customers in New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Delaware, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, respectively. Butler serves as vice chairman of each utility’s board and is a member of Exelon’s executive committee.

Butler previously served as CEO of BGE from 2014 to 2019.

The BEYA program is viewable here. The Chairman’s Award is given to Butler at 26:40 in the recording.

ComEd reports results to Illinois Commerce Commission: benefits continue to outweigh costs

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ComEd this week reported to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) that residential customers are receiving savings and clean energy benefits from the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA) and that these benefits are greater than the costs to customers. Enacted by the Illinois General Assembly in 2016, FEJA is jumpstarting renewable energy and increasing savings through new energy efficiency solutions for less than the caps established by the legislation.


“FEJA is making good on its promise to help our customers and communities gain access to clean and more efficient energy, and the benefits continue to outweigh the costs,” said ComEd CEO Joe Dominguez. “Since the state passed FEJA, energy efficiency investments have saved customers almost as much energy as they saved in the 10 years before FEJA at about half the cost.”

ComEd’s annual reports to the ICC detail the total cumulative average investment costs and benefits in the first four years of FEJA. From 2017 through 2020, residential customers realized average monthly savings of more than $1.30 per month when factoring in the benefits of investments in energy efficiency and solar energy adoption. The net costs and benefits for commercial customers remain below the legislated cost cap of 0.12 cents per kilowatt (kWh). As of 2020, the net costs and benefits for nonresidential customers, who are exempt from energy efficiency programs, remain below the legislated cost cap of 0.078 cents per kWh.

Customer access to renewable energy is gaining traction under FEJA. In 2020, a record 10,250 ComEd residential customers connected energy resources like private solar to the ComEd grid. Commercial and industrial businesses and community supply projects brought the total to more than 10,500 interconnections, representing 183 megawatts of distributed generation. ComEd also connected 20 community solar projects in 2020, and 55 more projects are under construction. The distributed generation rebate program for commercial and industrial customers grew from $8 million in payments in 2019 to $21 million in 2020.

FEJA also is creating opportunities for underrepresented populations, including members of diverse environmental justice communities and returning citizens, through training provided by trade and community groups. More than 1,300 trainees have completed the Craft Apprenticeship Program led by the IBEW Electrical Workers Renewable Energy Fund, as well as the Solar Pipeline and Multi-cultural Job Training programs; more than 25 percent secured jobs in solar panel installation, or serving as energy brokers, site surveyors, training instructors or other positions.

FEJA enables Illinois utilities, like those in many other states, to treat energy efficiency like other utility investments, and amortize them over the course of their useful lives. For example, the cost of ComEd rebates to customers for new LED lighting is amortized over the expected useful life of the new bulbs. This allows the company to increase customer rebates and make other investments needed to achieve Illinois’ aggressive energy efficiency goals while reducing the impact on monthly bills.

FEJA will be in place through 2031 and is designed to strengthen and expand funding for Illinois’ Renewable Portfolio Standard by establishing a long-term procurement process and providing up to $220 million per year in funding for wind and solar development.

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 100 energy company with approximately 10 million electricity and natural gas customers – the largest number of customers in the U.S. ComEd powers the lives of more than 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.

MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rio Tinto has secured a new commercial freight shipping service connecting Western Australia’s Pilbara region to the major international shipping hub of Singapore. The service will provide the company with a quicker, cheaper and cleaner alternative to the existing freight delivery route via Perth, helping to drive regional economic development and local job creation.


The regular freight service commenced with the arrival of the MCP Graz at the Port of Dampier from Singapore today. The vessel delivered essential maintenance supplies for Rio Tinto Iron Ore’s operations in the Pilbara, including rail wagon wheels, wagon parts, oil and lubricants. Future shipments are expected to include tyres for heavy earth moving equipment, conveyor belts, rail wagon and locomotive parts and mining consumables.

The service is also open for use by local businesses in the north-west of Australia, providing companies operating in the region with better access to international markets and more efficient movement of freight.

Rio Tinto Iron Ore managing director of Port, Rail and Core Services, Richard Cohen, said, “This is an important new service that connects the Pilbara to the rest of the world via the major international shipping hub of Singapore. It will provide a number of benefits by delivering cheaper, cleaner and faster freight to the region.

“It is an important breakthrough not only for our business, but it will also provide a great opportunity for the local Pilbara economy by helping to unlock small business growth and supporting job creation.”

Rio Tinto expects the service to reduce the lead-time for goods in to the Pilbara by six to 10 days compared with freight via Fremantle. Additionally, it’s expected to provide an annual saving of around three million litres of diesel fuel by reducing road train travel from Perth by more than 3.8 million kilometres.

Over time, Rio Tinto is hopeful that more than 50 per cent of its freight requirements to the Pilbara will utilise this service, increasing the speed of delivery and lowering costs. The vessel capacity of the freight service will be 350 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent) with Toll Global Forwarding and other freight forwarders offering a service for smaller volumes on the vessel.

Peter Stokes, President Global Logistics Toll Group, said, “This dedicated container vessel service from Singapore to Dampier will enable enormous possibilities to deliver more efficient supply chains to the Pilbara region.

“Toll Group is heavily invested in the north of Western Australia and is one of the largest employers in the Pilbara region. We are proud to be partnering with Rio Tinto on this landmark project which will provide businesses in the north with a significant opportunity to access international imports and exports.”

Viva Energy, the supplier of fuels and lubricants and supply partner to Rio Tinto, expects to reduce its road transport travel by 350,000 kilometres a year through use of the new service.

Viva Energy Sales Manager Gavin Syminton said, “Over and above any commercial benefits there are also a number of other positive aspects to the initiative including increased opportunities for local employment through infrastructure investment, the reduction of our carbon footprint and, a shorter, more efficient supply chain. As we continue to work closely with Rio Tinto we hope to further connect our business and community through this opportunity while making the region a more sustainable place to live.”
