UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On August 23, 2016, Gran Tierra Energy International Holdings Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gran Tierra Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gran Tierra”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of PetroLatina Energy Ltd. ("PetroLatina") for $525.0 million, consisting of cash consideration of $461.3 million, a deferred cash payment of $25.0 million to be paid prior to December 31, 2016, assumption of a reserve-backed credit facility with an outstanding balance of $80.0 million, net working capital and other closing adjustments of $16.3 million (the “Acquisition”). Upon completion of the transaction, Gran Tierra repaid and canceled the reserve-based credit facility.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2016, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015, (the “Pro Forma Statements”) have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of SEC Regulation S-X using accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“USGAAP”). Accounting policies used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Statements are consistent with those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of Gran Tierra as at and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as at for the six month period ending June 30, 2016. PetroLatina prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). PetroLatina’s IFRS financial statements have been adjusted to conform to USGAAP and certain historical PetroLatina amounts have been combined to conform to Gran Tierra’s presentation.

 

The notes to the Pro Forma Statements provide a discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the Pro Forma Statements. The allocation of the consideration transferred is incomplete and is subject to change. Management is continuing to review and assess information to accurately determine the acquisition date fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. During the measurement period, Gran Tierra will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of net assets acquired, which may differ materially from the preliminary estimates. See note 2(a) to the Pro Forma Statements.

 

The note disclosure requirements of annual consolidated financial statements provide additional disclosures to that required for pro forma consolidated financial statements. The Pro Forma Statements have been prepared from the following:

 

-The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Gran Tierra (the "GTE Interim Financial Statements") and the internal management accounts of PetroLatina as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and;
-The audited consolidated financial statements of each of Gran Tierra and PetroLatina for the year ended December 31, 2015 (collectively the "Annual Financial Statements").

 

The Pro Forma Statements should be read in conjunction with the GTE Interim Financial Statements and the Annual Financial Statements. The unaudited Pro Forma Statements give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred as at June 30, 2016, for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and as at January 1, 2015, for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the six months ended June 30, 2016. In the opinion of Gran Tierra’s management, these Pro Forma Statements include all material adjustments to be in accordance with USGAAP.

  

The Pro Forma Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the events reflected therein had been in effect on the dates indicated or the results which may be obtained in the future. In preparing the Pro Forma Statements, no adjustments have been made to reflect the potential operating synergies and administrative cost savings that could result from the combination of the Gran Tierra and PetroLatina operations. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the Acquisition will differ from the Pro Forma Statements, and the differences may be material.

Notes to the Pro Forma Statements (Unaudited)

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

 

1. Description of the transaction

 

On August 23, 2016 (the “PetroLatina Acquisition Date”), Gran Tierra acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of PetroLatina for $525.0 million, consisting of cash consideration of $461.3 million, a deferred cash payment of $25.0 million to be paid prior to December 31, 2016, assumption of a reserve-backed credit facility with an outstanding balance of $80.0 million, net working capital and other closing adjustments of $16.3 million. Upon completion of the transaction on the PetroLatina Acquisition Date, Gran Tierra repaid and canceled the reserve-based credit facility and PetroLatina became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Gran Tierra.

 

PetroLatina is an exploration and production company, incorporated in England and Wales, with assets primarily in the Middle Magdalena Basin of Colombia. The acquisition added a new core area for Gran Tierra in the prolific Middle Magdalena Basin and was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, with Gran Tierra being the acquirer, whereby the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair values as at the PetroLatina Acquisition Date, and the results of PetroLatina were included with those of Gran Tierra from that date. Fair value estimates were made based on significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs and based on the best information available at the time.

 

On July 8, 2016, Gran Tierra issued approximately 57.8 million subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) in a private placement to eligible purchasers at a price of $3.00 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of approximately $173.5 million, or net proceeds after share issuance costs of $165.8 million. The proceeds were used to partially fund the Acquisition. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the holder to automatically receive one common share of Gran Tierra upon closing of the Acquisition on the satisfaction of certain conditions. Upon the closing of the PetroLatina Acquisition on August 23, 2016, each subscription receipt was converted to one common share.

 

The Acquisition was funded through a combination of Gran Tierra’s current cash balance, gross proceeds of $173.5 million from the Subscription Receipts as noted above, available borrowings under Gran Tierra’s existing revolving credit facility and $130.0 million of borrowings under a new bridge loan facility. As part of the Acquisition, Gran Tierra assumed PetroLatina's reserve-backed credit facility with an outstanding balance as at the PetroLatina Acquisition Date of $80.0 million. This credit facility was repaid by Gran Tierra upon closing of the Acquisition on August 23, 2016.

2. Assumptions and adjustments

 

a)                  The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, with Gran Tierra being the acquirer, whereby the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair values as at the closing date of the Acquisition, and the results of PetroLatina included with those of Gran Tierra from that date.

 

The USGAAP values of net assets acquired and consideration paid for 100% ownership of PetroLatina is preliminarily allocated as follows:

 

(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)    
Cash  $525,000 
Working capital and other   16,350 
Debt assumed   (80,000)
Total cash consideration  $461,350 
      
(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)     
Oil and gas properties     
Proved  $364,353 
Unproved   422,734 
Long-term restricted cash   3,017 
Net working capital   15,486 
Long-term debt   (80,000)
Other long-term liability   (969)
Long-term portion of asset retirement obligation   (3,870)
Long-term deferred tax liability   (259,401)
   $461,350 

 

The allocation of the consideration is incomplete and is subject to change. Management is continuing to review and assess information to accurately determine the acquisition date fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. During the measurement period, Gran Tierra will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of net assets acquired, which may differ materially from the preliminary estimates.

 

Note 2(c) below describes differences between the prescribed USGAAP book value of oil and gas properties and PetroLatina’s IFRS book value at June 30, 2016.

 

b)                  Transaction and severance costs of approximately $7.8 million have been recorded to retained earnings and cash, but not reflected in the pro forma consolidated statements of operations on the basis that these expenses are directly incremental to the Acquisition but are non-recurring in nature.

 

c)                  Gran Tierra follows the USGAAP full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, the net book value of properties on a country-by-country basis, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling”. The ceiling is the estimated after tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties, discounted at 10% per year. In calculating discounted future net revenues, oil and natural gas prices are determined using the average price during the 12-month period prior to the balance sheet date, calculated as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the month price for each month within such period. That average price is then held constant, except for changes which are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. Therefore, ceiling test estimates are based on historical prices discounted at 10% per year and it should not be assumed that estimates of future net revenues represent the fair market value of Gran Tierra’s reserves.

The pro forma USGAAP adjustments to PetroLatina’s previously recognized impairment loss resulted in USGAAP ceiling test impairment losses of $nil in the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015. Under IFRS, PetroLatina recorded impairments of property, plant and equipment of $nil and $39.8 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015. The impairment loss decrease was primarily due to the prescribed USGAAP ceiling test being based on proved reserves, discounted cash flows at 10%, and an inflow of cash related to unproved properties as compared with the IFRS impairment assessment being based on proved plus probable reserves with discounted cash flows at 15%.

 

Under USGAAP, unproved properties are evaluated as to whether impairment has occurred. This evaluation considers, among other factors, seismic data, requirements to relinquish acreage, drilling results and activity, remaining time in the commitment period, remaining capital plans, and political, economic, and market conditions. During any period in which factors indicate impairment, the cumulative costs incurred to date for such property are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to depletion. As a result of applying a USGAAP unproved property impairment assessment, $nil of unproved property costs were transferred to the USGAAP proved property full cost pool.

 

The pro forma US GAAP adjustment to PetroLatina’s previously recognized impairment included the reversal of $27.1 million of exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) impairment charges which would not have been expensed under USGAAP and, therefore, have been included in proved property on PetroLatina’s USGAAP pro forma balance sheet at June 30, 2016. Where these costs were related to blocks subsequently relinquished or upon which no further exploration was planned, these costs were transferred to the proved property full cost pool in the relevant year.

 

E&E expenses of $6.3 and $7.9 million related to geological and geophysical costs, and pre-E&E phase expenses which would not have been expensed under USGAAP have been reversed in the pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015. These costs are included in unproved property on PetroLatina’s USGAAP pro forma balance sheet at June 30, 2016. Where these costs were related to blocks subsequently relinquished or upon which no further exploration was planned, these costs were transferred to the proved property full cost pool in the relevant year.

 

PetroLatina’s depletion, depreciation, accretion and impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015, has been increased by $0.3 million and decreased by $39.9 million, respectively, due to $nil impairment losses as a result of the application of the prescribed USGAAP ceiling test and capitalization of PetroLatina’s previously recognized E&E expense, as described above. Higher depletion expense was a result of a higher USGAAP depletable base, partially offset by a lower USGAAP depletion rate. The reserves base used in the calculation of the USGAAP depletion rate is based upon proved reserves versus the proved and probable base used in the calculation of depletion rates under IFRS.

 

Proforma depletion, depreciation, accretion and impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015, has been increased by $57.4 million and $29.0 million, respectively, as a result of applying the prescribed USGAAP ceiling test to the combined Gran Tierra and PetroLatina Colombia cost center.

d)                  Asset retirement obligations which were assumed as a result of the Acquisition have been measured on the assumptions and terms consistent with those currently used by Gran Tierra for USGAAP, that is, the liability is based on estimates established by current legislation, discounted at Gran Tierra’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate and capitalized to oil and gas properties as an asset retirement cost.  PetroLatina’s accounting policy was to discount its asset retirement obligations at its risk-free interest rate.

 

e)                  The Acquisition was funded through a combination of Gran Tierra’s current cash balance, gross proceeds of $173.5 million from the Subscription Receipts, available borrowings under Gran Tierra’s existing revolving credit facility and $130.0 million of borrowings under a new bridge loan facility. On August 23, 2016, in connection with the Acquisition, Gran Tierra drew $95 million on its revolving credit facility and $130.0 million on its Bridge Loan Facility. Gran Tierra subsequently repaid $30 million of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility, resulting in an outstanding balance of $65.0 million, at September 30, 2016. As part of the Acquisition, Gran Tierra assumed PetroLatina's reserve-backed credit facility with an outstanding balance as at the PetroLatina Acquisition Date of $80.0 million. This credit facility was repaid by Gran Tierra upon closing of the PetroLatina Acquisition on August 23, 2016. Proforma cash balance and retained earnings has been adjusted for transaction, severance and financing costs not reflected in the pro forma consolidated statements of operations on the basis that these expenses are directly incremental to the Acquisition but are non-recurring in nature. Additionally, debt financing and subscription receipt issuance costs of $11.9 million have been netted against cash.

 

On July 8, 2016, Gran Tierra issued approximately 57.8 million subscription receipts in a private placement to eligible purchasers at a price of $3.00 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of approximately $173.5 million, or net proceeds after share issuance costs of $165.8 million. The proceeds were used to partially fund the Acquisition. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the holder to automatically receive one common share of Gran Tierra upon closing of the Acquisition on the satisfaction of certain conditions. Upon the closing of the Acquisition on August 23, 2016, each subscription receipt was converted to one common share. Proforma financing cost for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 reflects an increase of $4.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively, due to the estimated interest expense on the new debt facility.

 

f)                   Deferred income tax recognized on PetroLatina’s USGAAP pro forma balance sheet has been determined using the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base, and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

USGAAP proforma adjustments were made to the deferred income tax balance as the result of adjustments. Under IFRS, a temporary difference is calculated using the translation of tax pools at the period end foreign exchange rate. Under USGAAP, tax pools are translated using historical foreign exchange rates. The resulting deferred income tax balance under USGAAP was recalculated based on the USGAAP adjusted oil and gas property values and the historical foreign exchange rates and subsequently increased the recovery by $2.3 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Proforma income tax recovery increased by $23.0 million and by $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively, to reflect the tax effect on the pro forma adjustments described above, at the statutory tax rate of 39%.
