operating activity, in each case determined in accordance with IFRS, (ii) an indicator of cash flow or (iii) a measure of
liquidity. Moreover, other companies in the Company’s industry and in other industries may calculate EBITDA differently
from the way that Puma Energy does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Q1 ’16 results report

Key points
Puma Energy delivered a very strong quarter, characterized by record levels of sales volumes, gross margins and EBITDA.
Sales volumes for the quarter increased by 22% year-on-year, reaching 5.2million m3, thanks to organic growth in the
Americas, Africa and the bitumen business and the integration of the recently acquired businesses in the UK and South
Africa.
At the same time, gross profit increased by 23%, driven by higher sales volumes and increased gross profit from midstream
activities. EBITDA increased by 37% year-on-year, thanks to higher gross margins and limited one-off impacts on operating
expenses.
As a result of this good operating performance and efficient working capital management, the Group generated cash flows
from operations of US$203million. Working capital levels were maintained, despite significant growth in volumes.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Group opened two new airports in Angola, and increased its storage capacities by 83k
m3, mainly in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Going forward, the Group continues to invest in infrastructure projects in
its key markets and to seize acquisition opportunities, whilst keeping a disciplined financing policy.

Profitability
For the first quarter of 2016, net sales amounted to US$2,827million, a 4% decrease compared to the US$2,959million of
sales in the first quarter of 2015, as the 22% increase in sales volumes from 4.3million m3 to 5.2million m3, was partially off-
set by the general decline in oil prices over the year (37% decrease year-on-year).
Quarterly gross profit increased by 23%, thanks to increased sales volumes, relatively stable downstream unit margins and
higher gross profit from the midstream segment. Higher sales volumes result from the integration of our recent acquisitions
over the last 12 months in the UK and South Africa, as well as organic growth in the Americas, Africa and the bitumen
business.
Downstream unit margins decreased from 76US$/m3 in Q1 2015 to 74US$/m3 in Q1 2016, whilst oil prices decreased by
37%. Downstream margins are still impacted by three factors. First, and mostly, there is a shift in the geographic sales mix
from higher unit margin countries towards the Americas and the UK, which contribute lower-than-average unit margins.
Second, the economic situation of the mining and oil upstream sectors results in price pressure and lower margins on certain
of the large contracts, when renegotiating these contracts. And third, there are still some time-lag effects in some of the
regulated markets, before the pricing of products is adjusted to reflect the strength of the US$ compared to the local
currencies. Despite these factors, unit margins for the quarter remained relatively stable compared to last year’s Q1 and have
increased compared to Q4 2015.
Gross profit from midstream activities increased by 19%, thanks to higher throughput volumes and stable unit margins.
EBITDA increased by 41% for the downstream segment and 21% for the midstream segment, as gross profit increased and
operating expenses have been contained.
From a regional point of view, sales volumes and gross profit increased across all regions, driven by acquisitions in the UK
and South Africa, as well as organic growth in the Americas, Africa and the bitumen business. EBITDA increased across
most regions, while the performance in Europe was impacted by higher operating expenses in the UK.
Operating profit increased from US$78million in Q1 2015 to US$117million in Q1 2016, as the above-mentioned increase in
EBITDA, was only partially off-set by higher depreciation and amortization charges from a larger perimeter.
Assets
During Q1 2016, Puma Energy incurred organic capex of US$186million on ongoing construction projects, including
Luanda Bay, in Angola, Yangoon in Myanmar, Dinh Vu in Vietnam, Tema in Ghana, extension of storage capacity in Papua
New Guinea and several smaller projects across the Americas, Asia Pacific and Africa. Capex spending for Q1 2016 also
includes US$52million for repaying the vendor loans for the bitumen ships acquired in 2014.
Puma Energy
Q1 ’16 results report

In addition, Puma Energy opened two new airports in Angola and closed the acquisition of a 60% stake in Wabeco’s
bitumen business in Nigeria for US$25million. The acquisition spending for the first quarter of the year furthermore includes
US$ 92million repayment of the vendor loan for the bitumen business acquired in 2014.
Total current assets decreased from US$1,989million as at 31 December 2015 to US$1,962million as at 31 March 2016,
driven mainly by a US$51million reduction in financial derivatives, which was partially off-set by slightly higher cash and
inventory levels.
DSO for the quarter amounted to 13 days, whilst DIO were at 24 days. This again reflects our strict credit discipline and
focus on efficient inventory management.

Equity and liabilities


Puma Energy’s total equity (shareholders’ equity and minority interests) amounted to US$2,058million at 31 March 2016,
compared to US$2,072million at 31 December 2015. This movement was the net impact of foreign currency translation
effects and the good results of Puma Energy over the last 3 months. No dividend has been paid or declared on the 2015
results. At 31 March 2016, the equity increase was completed for US$350million.
Net debt at 31 March 2016 amounted to US$2,252million at 31 March 2016. As a consequence, leverage was at 3.1 times
EBITDA, which is slightly above our stated capital structure policy. Leverage for the quarter was impacted by the repayment
of the subordinated vendor loans for the bitumen business and ships.
At quarter-end, unsecured HoldCo debt represented 77% of Group’s debt, whilst secured OpCo debt accounted for 13%.
This reflects the Group’s strategy to increasingly shift its financing towards unsecured HoldCo debt, ranking pari passu with
the Senior Notes. In January 2016, the Group made another US$ 100m Private Placement, maturing in 2023. 42% of the
Group’s debt is maturing in 2021 and beyond.
In May 2016, Puma Energy refinanced and increased its revolving credit facility from US$1.25billion to US$1.55billion.

Cash flow and liquidity


Operating cash flows for the quarter amounted to US$203million, reflecting strong EBITDA and efficient working capital
management.
Investing cash flows of US$(312) million in Q1 ‘16 reflect organic capex, the acquisition of a 60% stake in Wabeco’s
bitumen business in Nigeria, and the repayment of the vendor loans for the bitumen business and ships, acquired during
2014.
Financing cash flows of US$132million for the quarter reflect the US$100million Private Placement, drawn-downs on
available financing lines, as well interest payments on existing loans.
Closing remarks
Puma Energy started the year with a strong Q1, reflecting continuous growth in sales volumes and record levels of gross
margin and EBITDA. Gross margins were recovering in some markets, and positively impacted by a catch-up effect on prior
period profits. Whilst we are seeing some recovery on unit margins, these may be still impacted by a shift in the
geographical and segment mix, cost pressure on certain B2B contracts and further currency devaluations against the USD,
combined with a time-lag before regulated margin revisions take place.
The Group will continue to invest in its key markets and will seize selected opportunities, depending however on market
conditions. This will be achieved by keeping a disciplined financing policy.
