ANNOUNCEMENT concerning the availability of first half year of 2023 Report

Rompetrol Well Services S.A. (PTR) is one of the most important well services companies in Romania. It provides a wide range of services for oil and gas wells in Romania and Eastern Europe (cementing, stimulation, miscellaneous pumping, pressure testing, equipment rental, tubular casing, etc.).

In the first six months of this year, the Company managed to successfully adapt to the conditions of a volatile upstream market, maintaining its position on the specific market of well-related services. Through these elements, the volume of operations performed for our clients recorded an increase by 18% compared to the level recorded in the similar period of 2022.

Although the specific predictions for 2023 showed that the market will be still volatile, with a low level of new investments from main clients, the Company estimates that its flexibility in terms of the type of services provided, together with a strong financial position, including cash and cash equivalents, will allow the operational activity to register a profitability level similar to one estimated in the approved budget.

The Company continued to manage all its commitments in conditions of financial equilibrium, ensuring all cash availabilities for full and timely payment of commercial commitments, salaries and state budget obligations.
