Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Meren's third quarter 2025 results presentation.

I am joined today by Roger Tucker, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Aldo Peresini, our Chief Financial Officer; and Oliver Quinn, our Chief Commercial and Operating Officer. We will begin with prepared remarks and then open the floor for questions.

Before we start, I would like to remind everyone that this presentation contains forward-looking statements. These are based on current assumptions and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.

You can find a full discussion of these risks in our regulatory filings that are available in SEDAR+ and on our website. Also, all dollar amounts in this presentation are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

With that, I will now hand over to Roger. Roger, we are ready for you.

Please go ahead.

I'm pleased to present another strong quarter with continuing delivery on shareholder returns and deleveraging. The completion of the Prime amalgamation marked a step-change for Meren, and we have now honored our enhanced dividend policy with the declaration of the fourth quarterly distribution of $25 million, taking the total payout for 2025 to $100 million.

Together with our share buybacks year-to-date, we have delivered meaningful shareholder capital returns of approximately $109 million. We have also materially reduced our outstanding RBL debt amount to underpin a stronger, more agile company that is built to deliver long-term returns and withstand market volatility.

These deliverables reiterate the quality of our production assets in Nigeria and the company's financial strength and our disciplined capital management. Maintaining a strong balance sheet continues to be one of our top priorities.

Overall, it's been a resilient quarter, and we've delivered on what we set out to do, reinforcing our financial position and our commitment to creating long-term value for our shareholders. I'm also pleased to report that we've completed the integration of Prime, and the combined organization is working very well and seamlessly under the Meren banner.

I will now hand over to Aldo to give a more detailed commentary on the quarter's performance.

Thanks, Roger. Now turning to our production performance.

In the third quarter, we delivered production of 31.1 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day on a working interest basis and 35.6 thousand barrels per day on an entitlement basis. This brings us to a working interest of 31.8 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day and 36.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent on an entitlement basis for the first nine months of the year, both of which sit within our 2025 guidance, which remains unchanged from the second quarter.

Performance remains steady quarter-on-quarter, supported by strong contributions from the newly commissioned Egina wells and a successful well intervention on an Akpo well. These gains helped offset temporary impacts on planned and maintenance activity.

With the Akpo and Egina drilling campaign now on pause, work is focused on integrating 4D seismic and well data to define and mature the next set of infill targets. Turning on to the next slide.

In the third quarter, Meren completed three oil liftings for around 3 million barrels at a realized all-in sales price of $70.8 per barrel. Year-to-date, we have completed nine liftings of around 9 million barrels at an average all-in sales price of $74.9 per barrel, which compares favorably to the dated Brent at an average of $70.9 per barrel.

We have three cargoes scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025. Two of these are hedged at $64.6 per barrel, with one cargo unhedged that will be sold at spot.

For 2026, we have hedged 2.6 million barrels of oil at an average dated Brent of $62.4 per barrel. The sales achieved in the first nine months, combined with our hedging strategy for the reminder of the year, creates a prudent balance between risk management and market exposure, reducing volatility risk while preserving potential upside.

This approach ensures we remain well-positioned to generate solid cash flows through to the end of the year regardless of market fluctuations. Moving on to the financials.

For Q3, we delivered an EBITDAX of $120 million, bringing total EBITDAX year-to-date to $368 million. Cash flow from operations before working capital came in at $66 million for the quarter, with reported capex of $22 million, largely driven by the well intervention in Akpo.

was $126 million. Overall, for the first nine months, free cash flow before debt service and shareholder returns stands at $229 million.

We are on track to meet our management guidance, as revised in Q2, and our full-year guidance ranges are unchanged. Let's now turn to cash flows for the period.

We closed the quarter with a cash balance of about $177 million compared to an opening balance of $267 million at the end of Q2. We achieved about $66 million in cash flow from operation before working capital adjustments and interest and had positive working capital movement of $81 million, most of which, about $63 million, was due to trade receivables driven by the timing of cargo liftings and receipt of sale proceeds between the second and the third quarters.

Our major cash outlays were RBL repayments, dividend distributions, and capital expenditures. In line with our approach to disciplined balance sheet management, we proactively paid down our RBL balance by $180 million, bringing our total debt to $360 million.

This has been paid down further post-quarter, which I will touch on shortly. In line with our new payout policy, we made our third dividend payment of $25 million, bringing dividend distributions to $75 million year-to-date.

As Roger had mentioned, we are pleased to have announced our fourth dividend distribution of $25 million to be paid next month. Through disciplined cash management, we have materially reduced our debt interest expenses, strengthened the balance sheet, and established a solid platform for sustainable growth and value creation.

Moving on to the next slide. Deleveraging the business has been a priority for us since assuming Prime's RBL facility following the amalgamation.

The balance was $750 million at deal completion. We have looked to approach this proactively and in a disciplined manner.

At the end of Q3, our RBL balance stood at $360 million, reflecting $390 million in repayments since taking this facility on, contributing towards a meaningful reduction in interest costs. Post-quarter, we paid down a further $30 million, bringing total repayments to $420 million year-to-date.

At the end of the quarter, we had a net debt of $183 million and a net debt to EBITDAX ratio of 0.4 times, well below our 1 times ceiling for the year, demonstrating our strong credit profile. We will continue to optimize our capital allocation strategy, strengthening Meren's financial profile and positioning us to deliver value for shareholders.

I will now hand over to Oliver to take you through our business outlook.

Thanks, Aldo. Turning to slide 10 on Nigeria.

Following the break in the Akpo and Egina drilling campaign in Q3, work is underway to restart the campaign. The current drilling break has provided time to fully interpret the latest 4D seismic data and identify several future infill drilling opportunities.

Operationally, progress is being made to secure a deepwater rig to drill the Akpo Far East near-field prospect, followed by further development wells on both Akpo and Egina in late 2026. Akpo Far East is an infrastructure- I am unable to provide a verbatim transcript of this audio recording.
