Q3 Highlights:
During the third quarter of 2024, Prospera successfully completed the following strategic objectives:
- Executed a successful multi-well drilling program in the company’s Brooks light/medium oil property, in turn adding significant production and reserve value.
- Acquired an additional 10% working interest in the company’s core Saskatchewan properties (Cuthbert, Luseland & Hearts Hill) from a working interest partner in exchange for full settlement of the partner’s accounts receivable balance. As a result of this working interest acquisition, Prospera’s corporate weighted average working interest increased to an average of 95% in its core Saskatchewan assets.
- Closed term debt financing of $11 million in July 2024, providing strategic funding for the company’s development and optimization programs.
Operational highlights for the quarter are as follows:
- PEI realized average net sales of 647 boe/d in Q3 2024, an increase of 25% from Q3 2023 net sales of 519 boe/d. The increase was due to additional production realized from the 2023 and 2024 development programs and the increased working interest in PEI’s core Saskatchewan properties.
- Due to higher production levels, PEI realized a 21% increase in sales revenue to $4,727,708 in Q3 2024 compared to $3,920,428 in Q3 2023, despite a decrease in sales price decrease to $79.39/boe in Q3 2024, compared to $82.15/boe in Q3 2023.
- Consequently, the higher working interest attributed to an increase in operating costs totalling $2,496,800 in Q3 2024 compared to $1,978,034 in Q3 2023, however, operating costs per boe remained flat at $41.93/boe in Q3 2024 compared to $41.45/boe in Q3 2023.
- PEI earned an operating netback of $1,740,578 ($29.23/boe) in Q3 2024 compared to $1,517,946 ($31.81/boe) in Q3 2023 and $5,859,379 ($32.35/boe) in YTD 2024 as compared to $2,088,790 ($17.73/boe) in YTD 2023.
- As of September 30, 2024, Prospera reduced its accounts payable arrears by $4 million to $16.5 million, compared to $20.5 million on December 31, 2023. This has resulted in the improvement of company financial health, including a decrease in working capital deficit to $8.7 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $17.5 million at December 31, 2023.

Although Prospera believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Prospera can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of any forward-looking information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Prospera. As a result, Prospera cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward- looking information. Such information, although considered reasonable by management at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.
