Further background information is available on the corporate website www.neptuneenergy.com General Except as the context otherwise indicates, “Neptune” or “Neptune Energy”, “Group”, “we,” “us,” and “our,” refers to the group of companies comprising Neptune Energy Group Midco Limited (the Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments . “EPI” refers to the business of ENGIE E&P International S .A. (now renamed Neptune Energy International S.A.) and its direct or indirect subsidiaries. This report includes the results of the acquired EPI business consolidated since 15 February 2018, which is the acquisition date as that is when Neptune acquired control over EPI. Equivalent data for Neptune for the corresponding reporting period ended 30 June 2017, starting when the Company was incorporated on 22 March 2017, are generally not informative, as the Company had minimal activity at the time, principally comprising only minor administration expenses. Therefore, in respect of certain measures, including production, EBITDAX and capital expenditure, we have provided additional approximate pro forma information relating to the acquired EPI business, to enable a comparison of the results for the full six months ended 30 June 2018 (including the period prior to our acquisition on 15 February) with those for the six months ended 30 June 2017. In this report, unless otherwise indicated, our production, reserves and resources figures are presented on a basis including our ownership share of volumes of companies that we account for under the equity accounting method, in particular, for the interest held in the Touat project in Algeria through a joint venture company. Production for interests held under production sharing contracts is reported on an entitlements basis. The discussion in this report includes forward looking statements which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to materially differ from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. While these forward-looking statements are based on our internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs as at the date of such statements or information, including, among other things, assumptions with respect to production, future capital expenditures and cash flow, we caution you that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect and no assurance can be given that our expectations, or the assumptions underlying these expectations, will prove to be correct. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this report speak only as of the date of such statement or the date of this report. This report contains non-GAAP and non-IFRS measures and ratios that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, any generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or IFRS. These non -IFRS and non-GAAP measures and ratios may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS or GAAP. Non-IFRS and non-GAAP measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS or GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or profit from continuing operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities. 2 Neptune Energy Group Midco Limited Report for the period ended 30 June 2018
