Bowleven Entering a New Age Event

On 24th June Bowleven farmed down its stake in the Etinde development

offshore Cameroon to New Age and LUKOIL. Although the company is now

largely financed for development, the stock continues to languish at a 22-59%

discount to the read-through valuation of the transaction. In this note we look

at why this may be and in doing so highlight the catalysts for re-rating.

Impact

Read-through valuation supportive: We estimate that post deal completion,

Bowleven will have net cash resources of 33p/sh (US$17m existing cash and

US$161m of net proceeds). Furthermore, on a fully diluted basis, the

US$170m that New Age and LUKOIL paid for a 40% stake in the Etinde

development suggests Bowleven’s residual 20% stake is worth 16p/sh.

Combined this gives a “base” valuation of 49p/sh, which could rise to an

“upside” valuation of 64p/sh if both the deferred payment and appraisal carry

are included. Our asset-by-asset bottom-up valuation is above this at 70p/sh.

Addressing issues key to closing valuation gap: We believe that bringing

in New Age and LUKOIL has de-risked the project. However there are a

number of outstanding questions that need to be answered before the

valuation gap closes, in our view. The major ones concern: commitment of the

Ferrostaal consortium to the fertiliser project; confirmation of New Age's

credentials as operator and its prioritisation of gas supply to the fertiliser plant

over competing solutions; firming up of Etinde development costs, FID timing

and first production; break-down of recoverable resources by field and how

Bowleven's capital structure will look through the development.

The stock may also benefit from near term drilling: Bowleven is entering a

period of elevated activity. By year end, it should have commenced drilling the

Bomono campaign (onshore Cameroon) targeting a net 129mboe (16p/120p).

Any discovery should hopefully be easier and quicker to commercialise than

offshore counterparts. Next year, the Etinde partners will also drill two wells to

appraise the highly prospective Intra Isongo formation, which could deliver a

net 31mmboe of upside (3p / 29p), based on our analysis.

Earnings and target price revision

Our target price falls very modestly to 70p from 71p. 2014 and 2015 (June yr

end) EPS fall 42% and 78% as we also update for 1H14 results.

Price catalyst

12-month price target: £0.70 based on a Sum of Parts methodology.

Catalyst: Signing of Gas Sale Agreement (2H14); Zingana well (10p/76p)

Action and recommendation

Not withstanding the issues above, we believe that the investment case is

more compelling now than at any point since we initiated coverage back in

December 2011 and is certainly worth another look.

Current share price is 22- 59% discount to transaction read-through valuation

Bowleven’s share price has increased only 1% since it announced the deal to bring in New Age

and LUKOIL to the Etinde development on 24th June. In doing so though it circumvented potential

financing problems that would have emerged if Petrofac’s IES division had chosen not to proceed

with the US$500m Strategic Alliance (as was their right at the project’s Final Investment Decision).

Under the terms of 24th June deal, Bowleven will:

Sell down a 40% interest on a fully diluted basis (50% pre government SNH back-in) in the

Etinde development to New Age (10% WI) and LUKOIL (30% WI) for a total US$170m in

cash. Bowleven will be left with 20% WI, while New Age will assume operatorship from

Bowleven with an increased 30% WI.

Receive a further US$40m staged deferred cash payment contingent upon Etinde

development Final Investment Decision (US$25m) and completion of appraisal drilling

(US$15m).

A US$40m (net) carry on two appraisal wells

The lack of movement in the share price is surprising to us given that there was a positive read-

through valuation relative to the stock price on the day of the announcement. As our calculations

below show, our base case read-through valuation is a 22% premium to the current share price

while our upside valuation is at a 59% premium.

The concerns that we believe need addressing for re-rating

Net cash proceeds: Immediately following the transaction, we believe the market worried about

the break fee payable to Petrofac for terminating the Strategic Alliance, with Bowleven saying that

it could be as high US$15m. This amount would have almost fully consumed the company’s

existing cash balance of US$17m (Macq June 2014 estimate). As it was, on 15th July Bowleven

announced a break fee of US$9m and crucially payable only after completion of the farm-out.

The second element to this is that Bowleven have said that no Capital Gains Tax is payable on the

cash proceeds. Given recent African disputes over Capital Gains Tax (Uganda) we believe there

is some lingering doubt as to whether the full US$170m cash consideration will make it into

Bowleven’s bank account. As a reference point, a 30% Capital Gains Tax on the US$170m is

worth 10p/share net to Bowleven’s cash balance. The current timing for the transaction completion

is mid September.

Ferrostaal commitment to / funding of fertiliser plant: Phase 1 of the Etinde development is to

be developed by sending gas from the IM field to a Ferrostaal run fertiliser plant and selling

associated and stripped liquids in the open market. However, as Ferrostaal and its partners are

un-listed the market has limited ongoing line of sight on their commitment to this project and

funding, although German bank KFW is known to be leading the debt financing element. It goes

without saying that unless the fertiliser plant passes FID then the Etinde development cannot. In

our view, we believe that while the formal decree of the Etinde Exploitation Authorisation is

unlikely to have an impact on sentiment towards Bowleven, the final Gas Sales Agreement

between the Etinde partners and the fertiliser consortium would. Bowleven has indicated this will

occur in 2H14 and we understand it is a major milestone towards finalising the debt for the

fertiliser project.

New Age’s credentials as operator: We believe that New Age is a relatively unknown entity to

many in the investment community, certainly at an operator level and its credentials as operator of

the Etinde development will take some time establish in our view. Below we outline some details

on both New Age and LUKOIL:

New Age: Is an African focussed E&P company based in London and run by Steve Lowden,

who is a former President of Marathon International. New Age operates the Khalakan block in

Kurdistan as well as exploration Blocks 7&8 onshore Ethiopia. Other assets include non

operated positions in Congo-Brazzaville, Somaliland and South Africa. The company is

backed (at least partially) by Kerogen Capital, which has US6$1bn invested across the oil and

gas space including investments in AJ Lucas, Buried Hill Energy and HKN.

LUKOIL: Produces 2.1% of global crude oil and holds proved oil reserves of 17.3bn barrels.

Since 2006, the company has established offshore West African footholds in Sierra Leone,

Cote D’Ivoire and Ghana. LUKOIL has an objective of increasing the gas portion of its

hydrocarbon production up to 33% from 2012 levels of 18%.

Potential slippage of fertiliser start-up and development costs: While the fertiliser plant

underpins Phase 1 of any development we believe that New Age and LUKOIL have been as

attracted by the prospective gas resources on the Etinde block (see IM Intra Isongo section later).

The Cameroon government and French company GDF Suez are proposing that additional gas

discoveries be commercialised via a greenfield Cameroon LNG development (“CLNG”). Pre-FEED

work was completed by Foster Wheeler in mid 2011 for a 3.5mtpa facility with gas supplied from

fields operated by Perenco, Noble Energy, Addax and Bowleven’s Etinde Permit. We remain

sceptical on the economic viability single train greenfield LNG development in West Africa.

However, we do see a chance that New Age waits until appraisal drilling on the Intra Isongo is

completed before sanctioning any Etinde development. That is not to say we believe that the

fertiliser plant will be usurped by LNG, but that depending upon the appraisal results an LNG

development might be more fully considered alongside the fertiliser project. Such a course of

action would allow the project to be “right sized” but also result in further slippage of the FID

Even on the Phase I development, though, we see a lack of granularity on the development costs.

Cost estimates having changed over time as the development concept evolved and in the table

below we show this. Firming up the development concept and costs will be items that come out of

the Final Investment Decision, which LUKOIL’ s farm-in press release now says will be a 2015

event . With Bowleven’s most recent guidance being a 30-month construction period between FID

and first production, we believe that mid 2018 is the appropriate time frame to have first production

against the previously implied mid 2017 guidance.

22 July 2014 4

Fig 2 Development cost estimates and scenarios have altered over time

Source: Company data, Macquarie Research, July 2014.

In our revised modelling of the Etinde development we have made a number of assumptions

which are more conservative than current management guidance:

First production from IM in mid 2018, which is one year later than current guidance

Development costs of IM of US$900m with US$765m spend prior to first production against

current guidance of US$650-700m prior to first production (and very little thereafter)

In our upside case we model production from IE coming on-stream in mid 2021 with an

associated US$500m capex

How recoverable resources are distributed across the permit: Bowleven has historically

talked of a “hub and spoke” development, targeting various offshore fields including IM and IE and

feeding production to a central processing hub in Limbe. However, while the company has

provided recoverable resources at a group level by hydrocarbon type (FY13 net contingent

resources 263mmboe), we have yet to see the breakdown of these recoverable resources on a

field by field basis. Only in place hydrocarbons have been revealed on this basis to date and the

market therefore lacks the detail on quantum of resources attributed to each field. As far as we

know there is no need for Bowleven to publish an Independent 3rd

Party verification of resources

(Competent Persons Report) for the Gas Sales Agreement, but we do believe that completion of

one over the IM and IE fields would help alleviate some investor concerns over the resource base.

Will Bowleven need more equity?: As the chart below shows, Bowleven has come to the market

a number of times since 2008, raising a total US$448m in equity. The most recent raises in

October 2011 and November 2013 have been undertaken at the steepest discounts, reflecting

some investor fatigue in our view that discovered resources were not being moved into reserves.

Given the use of equity markets as a source of funding, we believe that there is some concern that

Bowleven may yet again have to revert to the markets to fund its share of development capex.

However, based on our revised field model assumptions, we believe that Bowleven’s share of

development costs prior to first production are US$153m leading to a financing shortfall of just

US$55m (assuming ongoing G&A of ~US$20mp.a.; US$10m E&A spend p.a. and the US$40m

deferred payment). This shortfall should be manageable from a debt financing position, in our

view, as it equates to a gearing ratio (ND/ND+Equity) of just 10%, with Bowleven already having

indicated that it could pursue conventional debt financing, development financing or some form of

mezzanine debt. Furthermore, if Bowleven is correct in its assumption of capex to first production,

then its financing shortfall declines to just US$42m (8% gearing).

Drilling activity that may also close the valuation gap

What potential upside is there at IM Intra Isongo level?: When appraising the Upper and

Middle Intra Isongo sands within the IM structure in 2012/13, Bowleven made a discovery within

the Intra Isongo formation. This interval flow tested at 10.8kboe/d (57% gas; 43% condensate)

from a 29m perforated section of the 70m net pay. Previously believed to be a seismic amplitude

response driven by volcanic rock, this interval can be well mapped across the Etinde permit while

potential immediately above and below the Intra Isongo (“Greater Interval”) has also been

mapped. Overall Bowleven map 1.3tcf of undiscovered gas resources within the play which, in line

with the farm-out agreement, will be appraised during 2015. It is these undiscovered resources

which are notionally earmarked to the Cameroon LNG development.

Fig 6 Mapping of Greater Intra Isongo prospectivity Fig 7 Intra Isongo resources

Source: Bowleven, Macquarie Research, July 2014 Source: Company data, Macquarie Research, July 2014

Onshore exploration success might be easier/quicker to commercialise: Bowleven recently

agreed to a farm-out of a 20% WI in its Bomono permit to Africa Fortesa Corp (“AFC”), reducing its

exposure to 80% (72% if SNH were to exercise back in rights at licence exploitation point).

Although Bowleven received no carry towards exploration costs, AFC has access to a suitable

drilling rig, which it has agreed to provide “at cost” to the Bomono partnership. As a consequence,

Bowleven will have to contribute US$13m towards the drilling of two exploration wells rather than

US$26m which would likely be the market rate. The two prospects, to be drilled in 2H14 in line

with the licence work programme commitments, are Zingana-1 and Moambe-1, which Macquarie

estimates at 114mmboe and 65mmboe recoverable each. If successful, we believe discoveries

could potentially be commercialised on a shorter time frame than the mid 2018 Etinde start-up we

model, via local power stations / industry (gas) or via the open market (liquids). Further farm-down

negotiations are also ongoing to further reduce Bowleven’s capital exposure.

Valuation: Outperform maintained; TP trimmed very slightly to 70p

We have updated our valuation for Bowleven, removing the impact of the Petrofac Strategic

Alliance on the cash-flows of the Etinde development. Instead these are replaced by more

conventional 20% WI obligation for Bowleven. Furthermore, we have added risked E&A upside

pertaining to the two upcoming exploration wells on the Bomono permit (BLVN 80% WI) and also

the upside that could come from appraising the Intra Isongo now that a two-well appraisal

campaign is funded via the farm-out.

The table below shows the major impacts that this has on our valuation:

Overall our Core NAV falls by 39% to 44p, although clearly this is a firmer Core NAV with 33p

of net cash against just 5p previously. The reason for the decline is i) the reduction in

Bowleven’s Working Interest in the Etinde Permit and ii) with the monetisation route for the IE

field still lacking clarity, we have moved this former component of Core NAV into Risked E&A

upside.

We include IE in Risked E&A upside with a 50% Chance of Success (8p/15p) as well as the

Zingana (10p / 76p) and Maombe (5p /44p) Bomono prospects and 153mmboe Intra Isongo

prospective resources risked at 10% (3p / 29p).
