DGAP-News: Activa Resources AG / Key word(s): Half Year Results Activa Resources AG reports on the first half of 2013 and confirms growth 27.09.2013 / 08:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Activa Resources AG reports on the first half of 2013 and confirms growth forecast for FY 2013 - Group production revenues of EUR 2.13 million (vs. EUR 2.41 million) - Group net income of EUR -0.78 million (vs. EUR -0.24 million) - Record monthly revenues of EUR 600,000 in July and August 2013 - FY 2013 outlook: Further growth in production revenues of approximately 15 % Bad Homburg, 27th September 2013 Activa Resources AG has published its 2013 interim report. The key events at Activa during the first half of 2013 relate to the OSR-Halliday Unit, the company's main asset in East Texas. The latest two horizontal wells were put on production towards the end of the first half with initial production rates of between 600 and 800 BOED and are proving to be the best wells in the field to date. After successfully drilling and completing five consecutive horizontal wells the unit has now been substantially de-risked. Activa Resources AG generated consolidated revenues of EUR 2.13 million from the production of oil and natural gas during the first half of 2013 (2012 H1: EUR 2.41 million). The y-o-y decline results from an asset sale and 5 % lower production revenues. Total revenues comprised 81.9 % oil, 14.7 % natural gas and 3.4 % natural gas liquids. Profits before interest, taxes and depreciation expenses (EBITDA), which amounted to EUR 0.23 million (vs. EUR 1.03 million), were impacted by the requisite upfront expenses to facilitate both the strong increase in production as of Q3 and the implementation of Activa's medium term growth strategy. The group net result amounted to EUR -0.78 million (vs. EUR -0.24 million). Earnings per share stood at EUR -0.15 (vs. EUR -0.05). Activa's CEO Leigh A. Hooper explains: 'We are very pleased with our current progress. As a result of the new OSR-Halliday wells our H2 revenues will be materially stronger than H1. Our monthly production revenues exceeded EUR 600,000 in July and August. We have doubled our monthly production revenues vs. the beginning of the year. Assuming stable pricing thru year-end we expect full year revenues to grow by approximately 15 %. EBITDA and cash flow will also substantially improve during the second half of 2013, leading to full year growth rates that exceed revenue growth. After 80% revenue growth from 2010-2013, we are well positioned to sustain this growth trend in the coming years.'
