Successful Sale of Goldboro LNG Assets
Pieridae Energy successfully closed the sale of its Goldboro liquefied natural gas assets, generating $12 million in cash proceeds, which were used to repay a bridge loan.
Significant Hedge Gains
The company realized a hedge gain of nearly $27 million in the quarter, significantly supporting its net operating income of nearly $20 million despite low AECO gas prices.
Debt Reduction and Equity Raise
Repayment of the bridge loan was achieved, reducing the company's cost of debt, and a $29 million equity raise through a backstopped rights offering was completed, reducing net debt to $178 million.
Third-Party Processing Volume Growth
Year-over-year increase in third-party processing volumes of 49% at the Caroline gas plant, reflecting growth in the midstream processing business.
Operating Expense Reduction
Operating expenses reduced by 30% compared to the prior year, primarily due to temporary shut-ins of uneconomic production and improvements in carbon tax efficiency.
