Cenovus announces 2023 second-quarter results and organizational update

CALGARY, Alberta, July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) generated nearly $2.0 billion in cash from operating activities, approximately $1.9 billion in adjusted funds flow and $897 million in free funds flow in the second quarter of 2023. Total upstream production was approximately 730,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d)1, reflecting a planned turnaround at Foster Creek and production impacts in the Conventional segment in May and June due to Alberta wildfire activity. Downstream throughput averaged almost 538,000 barrels per day (bbls/d), increasing in the quarter as volumes ramped up following restart work at the Superior and Toledo refineries.

“We achieved significant operational milestones across the company over the quarter,” said Jon McKenzie, Cenovus President & Chief Executive Officer. “With all that we have accomplished during the quarter, we’re well positioned for the back half of 2023 and beyond.”

Highlights

  • Ramped up throughput at the Toledo Refinery, which is now fully operational. The Superior Refinery is processing crude oil and continues to progress the start-up of its fluid catalytic cracking unit.
  • Delivered $575 million to shareholders in the second quarter through buybacks and common share dividends; in addition to the purchase and cancellation of 45.5 million outstanding warrants for $711 million.
  • Achieved a major milestone on the West White Rose project as the company completed the concrete pour on the offshore platform’s conical slip.
  • Successfully completed a three-week turnaround at the company’s Foster Creek oil sands project.
  • Released Cenovus’s 2022 environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, detailing overall sustainability performance and progress on the company’s ESG targets, as well as a new milestone to reduce absolute methane emissions in upstream operations by 80% by year-end 2028, from a 2019 baseline.

Board update

The company also announced today that, due to the demands of other commitments, Canning K.N. Fok retired from the Cenovus Board of Directors effective July 26, 2023, and confirms that Mr. Fok will continue to support and assist the company as the CEO of one of its major shareholders. It is expected that, in accordance with the standstill agreements entered into at the time of the Husky Energy transaction, a new director to replace Mr. Fok will be nominated before the end of the year.

“On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Canning for his valuable insights, experience and commitment during his service as a member of the Board,” said Alex Pourbaix, Executive Chair of the Board. “As a director of Cenovus since the Husky Energy transaction, Canning has been a thoughtful and effective contributor to the integration and success of the combined organization."

Second-quarter results

Operating results1

Cenovus’s total revenues were approximately $12.2 billion in the second quarter, in line with $12.3 billion in the first quarter of 2023. Upstream revenues were about $6.8 billion, similar to the previous quarter, and downstream revenues were $7.6 billion, compared with nearly $7.4 billion in the first quarter. Total operating margin3 was $2.4 billion, compared with about $2.1 billion in the first quarter. Upstream operating margin4 was approximately $2.3 billion, an increase from $1.7 billion in the prior quarter, primarily driven by a tighter light-heavy differential and lower condensate blending costs, partially offset by lower Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices and decreased production volumes. Downstream operating margin4 was $143 million, compared with $391 million in the first quarter. U.S. Manufacturing operating margin was negatively impacted by approximately $170 million due to the cost of processing crude oil purchased in prior periods at higher prices as well as the narrowing of heavy oil differentials.

3 Non-GAAP financial measure. Total operating margin is the total of Upstream operating margin plus Downstream operating margin. See Advisory.
4 Specified financial measure. See Advisory.

Total upstream production was 729,900 BOE/d in the second quarter, a decrease from the first quarter as the company experienced production impacts due to Alberta wildfire activity and planned maintenance. Foster Creek production of 167,000 bbls/d, compared with 190,000 bbls/d in the first quarter, reflects a planned three-week turnaround that was completed in the second quarter. Christina Lake production was 234,900 bbls/d, in line with the prior quarter as the company continued to progress its redevelopment and redrill program, including new well pads at both Foster Creek and Christina Lake. Sunrise production was 46,500 bbls/d, in line with first-quarter production of 44,500 bbls/d. At the Lloydminster thermal projects, production increased to 106,200 bbls/d from 99,000 bbls/d in the prior quarter, as the company continued to focus on optimization of the asset.

In response to the Alberta wildfires that began in May and continued into early June, Cenovus shut in several producing conventional fields and processing plants as a precaution. Production in the Conventional segment was 104,600 BOE/d in the second quarter compared with 123,900 BOE/d in the first quarter. No significant damage was identified at any Cenovus assets, and production at all facilities returned to normal rates in late June, with the exception of approximately 5,000 BOE/d to 7,000 BOE/d currently offline at the Rainbow Lake facility due to electric power constraints from a third-party provider. Cenovus estimates the annualized impact to production in the Conventional segment to be approximately 8,000 BOE/d to 10,000 BOE/d, and as a result has revised Conventional production guidance to between 115,000 BOE/d and 130,000 BOE/d.

In the Offshore segment, production was 51,500 BOE/d compared with 65,600 BOE/d in the previous quarter. In Asia Pacific, sales volumes decreased compared with the first quarter as a result of a temporary unplanned outage in China, when an unauthorized vessel travelled into a dedicated pipeline corridor and struck an umbilical line. In Indonesia, sales volumes were higher than the first quarter of 2023, with the MBH and MDA fields continuing to ramp up. In the Atlantic region, production was 5,300 bbls/d compared with 8,900 bbls/d in the first quarter as the company advanced a planned turnaround at the SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, originally scheduled for the fall, into the first and second quarters. Light crude oil from production at the White Rose field is offloaded from the SeaRose FPSO to tankers and stored at an onshore terminal before shipment to buyers, which results in a timing difference between production and sales. There were no sales volumes in the second quarter due to this timing. The non-operated Terra Nova FPSO remains dockside in Newfoundland and Labrador, as it continues to undergo maintenance as part of its asset life extension program.

In U.S. Manufacturing, crude throughput was 442,500 bbls/d, an increase of 23%, compared with 359,200 bbls/d in the first quarter.  The Superior Refinery introduced crude oil in mid-March and increased throughput throughout the second quarter. Cenovus began restarting the Toledo Refinery in April, ramping up volumes through the second quarter, and the facility is now fully operational. The Toledo and Superior refineries are both producing saleable products. The company’s Lima Refinery continues to deliver strong performance, with 93% utilization achieved in the quarter. At the non-operated Borger Refinery, utilization was impacted by a planned turnaround and temporary unplanned outages. The refinery is now fully operational. The non-operated Wood River Refinery completed a planned turnaround in May and is now fully operational.

Crude utilization in the Canadian Manufacturing segment was 86% with throughput of 95,300 bbls/d, compared with crude utilization and throughput of 89% and 98,700 bbls/d in the first quarter.

Financial results

Second-quarter cash from operating activities, which includes changes in non-cash working capital, was nearly $2.0 billion, compared with cash used in operating activities of $286 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted funds flow was $1.9 billion, compared with $1.4 billion in the prior period, and free funds flow increased to $897 million from $294 million in the first quarter. Second-quarter financial results improved compared with the first quarter, primarily due to higher price realizations in the Oil Sands segment, driven by narrower light-heavy crude oil differentials and lower condensate prices. In addition, Oil Sands segment sales volumes outpaced production by approximately 4,000 BOE/d as the company drew down product inventory built through the first quarter of 2023 and fourth quarter of 2022. These factors were partially offset by higher operating costs in the U.S. Manufacturing segment related to the commissioning and start-up of the Superior and Toledo refineries, as well as planned and unplanned maintenance at Borger. Results in the U.S. Manufacturing segment were lower by approximately $170 million due to the cost of processing crude oil purchased in prior periods at higher prices, in addition to lower sales volumes than production volumes due to inventory build-up at the Lima Refinery and a normal time lag expected on sales with the ramp up of the Toledo and Superior refineries.

Capital investment of $1.0 billion in the second quarter was primarily directed towards sustaining production in the Oil Sands segment, the ongoing construction of the West White Rose project and the Terra Nova asset life extension, in addition to refining reliability initiatives in the U.S. Manufacturing segment and completing rebuild activities at the Superior Refinery.

Net earnings in the second quarter were $866 million, compared with $636 million in the previous quarter. The increase in net earnings was primarily due to higher operating margin and a favourable unrealized foreign exchange gain, partially offset by higher income tax.

Long-term debt, including the current portion, was $8.5 billion at June 30, 2023, compared with $8.7 billion as at March 31, 2023. Net debt was approximately $6.4 billion at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $265 million from March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in free funds flow generated in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the prior quarter. The company continues to focus on making progress towards its net debt target of $4.0 billion.

2023 guidance updates

Cenovus has revised its 2023 corporate guidance to reflect the company’s updated outlook for commodity prices, production and operating expenses for the remainder of the year. It is available on cenovus.com under Investors.

Changes to the company’s 2023 guidance include:

  • Reducing Conventional output by 10,000 BOE/d to a range of 115,000 BOE/d to 130,000 BOE/d as a result of the production impact from wildfires in Alberta.
  • Lowering Lloydminster thermal production by 5,000 bbls/d to a range of 100,000 bbls/d to 110,000 bbls/d, reflecting year-to-date operating performance.
  • Adjusting the total production range by 15,000 BOE/d to between 775,000 BOE/d and 795,000 BOE/d.
  • Expected cash taxes for 2023 have been lowered at the midpoint by $200 million, to a revised range of $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion for 2023.

In addition, the company has updated Conventional operating expenses and royalties, and revised its commodity price deck and sensitivities. The company continues to execute its capital program and there has been no change to Cenovus’s expected capital investment range of $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion.

Dividend declarations and share purchases

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly base dividend of $0.14 per common share, payable on September 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023. In addition, the Board has declared a quarterly dividend on each of the Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares – Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, Series 5 and Series 7 – payable on October 3, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023 as follows:

All dividends paid on Cenovus’s common and preferred shares will be designated as “eligible dividends” for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Declaration of dividends is at the sole discretion of the Board and will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis.

Cenovus’s shareholder returns framework has a target of returning 50% of excess free funds flow to shareholders for quarters where the ending net debt is between $9.0 billion and $4.0 billion. In the second quarter, the company bought approximately 14 million shares under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB), delivering $310 million in returns to shareholders. In June, Cenovus reached separate agreements with each of Hutchison Whampoa Europe Investments S.à r.l. (HWEI) and L.F. Investments S.à r.l. (LFI) to purchase for cancellation all of the warrants held by HWEI and LFI, respectively, representing an aggregate of 45,484,672 warrants (CVE.WT), for a total of $711 million. The company has negotiated payment terms that provide flexibility to work within its shareholder returns framework, and at its discretion Cenovus has the option to pay the aggregate warrant purchase price of $711 million through the remainder of 2023, within each quarter’s excess free funds flow, with full payment being made no later than January 5, 2024. In the second quarter, the company elected to direct excess free funds flow to its NCIB program, and as a result no payment was made to either HWEI or LFI as part of the warrant purchases.

Sustainability

During the quarter, Cenovus released its 2022 ESG report, updating progress the company made towards targets in its five ESG focus areas: climate & greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water stewardship, biodiversity, Indigenous reconciliation and inclusion & diversity. Cenovus also announced a milestone to reduce absolute methane emissions in its upstream operations by 80% by year-end 2028, from a 2019 baseline. This is a key milestone towards the company’s target to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 35% by year-end 2035 as Cenovus builds toward its long-term ambition of achieving net zero emissions from operations by 2050.

The ESG report shows continued progress in several areas, including reducing absolute methane emissions in upstream operations by 32% from 2021 levels, and 59% between 2019 and 2022. The company also spent $395 million, or the equivalent of more than $1 million each day in 2022, with Indigenous businesses in areas such as engineering and construction services. Building on this work, Cenovus has now achieved its target of spending at least $1.2 billion with Indigenous businesses between 2019 and year-end 2025. The company continues to seek additional opportunities to expand the scope of work it does with Indigenous communities and businesses in the areas that it operates.

In addition, Cenovus has achieved its aspiration to have at least 40% representation from designated groups (defined as women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities) among non-management members of the Board of Directors by year-end 2025. Cenovus recognizes and embraces the benefits of having a diverse Board, with a Board Diversity Policy committing it to seeking highly qualified directors and to consider diversity when determining the best composition for the Board.

Advisory

Basis of Presentation

Cenovus reports financial results in Canadian dollars and presents production volumes on a net to Cenovus before royalties basis, unless otherwise stated. Cenovus prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Barrels of Oil Equivalent

Natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) to one barrel (bbl). BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of one bbl to six Mcf is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil compared with natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is not an accurate reflection of value.
