    Cooper Energy (ASX: COE) has announced record full-year production, sales volume and revenue. Commencement of the Sole Gas Sales Agreements (GSAs) and improving performance at the Orbost Gas Processing Plant (OGPP) helped drive a 69% increase in production to 2.63 MMboe, a 94% increase in sales volume to 3.01 MMboe and a 69% increase in revenue to $132 million.

    Earnings and cash flow in FY21 were impacted by OGPP processing rates, OGPP reconfiguration and commissioning costs, and impacts of the Transition Agreement with APA Group (ASX: APA). Underlying EBITDAX of $30.0 million (FY20: $29.6 million) and an Underlying Net Loss After Tax of $25.9 million (FY20: $6.6 million loss) were recorded.

    Managing Director David Maxwell said that despite a challenging year the strong momentum in the second half demonstrates Cooper Energy’s underlying value proposition.

    “FY21 was a year of two halves, with Orbost reconfiguration works and lower production in the first half and improving Orbost performance and higher sales volume in the second half.

    “Initiation of our Sole Gas Sales Agreements was a key milestone for Cooper Energy which delivered a material step-up in revenue and earnings in the second half.
