InterOil Announces 2011 Financial and Operating Results

PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea and HOUSTON, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- InterOil Corporation (NYSE:IOC - News) (POMSoX:IOC - News) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Highlights and Recent Developments

InterOil's Chief Executive Officer Phil Mulacek commented, "We continue to work with our existing LNG development partners and the PNG government to advance our LNG project towards first production. Simultaneously, our advisors are managing the process of soliciting and evaluating proposals from potential strategic LNG partners. If a strategic partner is selected, we expect that such a partner would assist with accelerating the LNG project's capacity growth. Our delineation drilling at Triceratops has the potential to add to our substantial resource estimate at Elk and Antelope, and provide back-up supply for increasing LNG capacity. Our prospect inventory is maturing and we anticipate that it will support our goal of a multi-year, multi-well exploration program. We believe that these achievements, combined with our strong balance sheet, support our continued growth and operational success."

Corporate Financial Results

InterOil recorded a net profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $17.7 million, compared with a net loss of $44.5 million for the same period in 2010, an improvement of $62.2 million. The operating segments of Corporate, Midstream Refining and Downstream collectively returned a net profit for the year of $82.3 million. The development segments of Upstream and Midstream Liquefaction yielded a net loss of $64.6 million for an aggregate net profit of $17.7 million.

EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $50.4 million, an increase of $66.9 million over negative EBITDA of $16.5 million for the same period in 2010, the improvement was mainly due to unusual, one time charges in 2010 and an improvement in our net foreign exchange gains as a result of rising Papua New Guinea Kina ("PGK") against USD.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $1,118.9 million compared with $807.0 million and $693.1 million respectively for the same periods in 2010 and 2009. This increase in the year ended 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to the higher crude price environment in the 2011 year and an increase in domestic volumes of product sold for higher margin products. The total volume of all products sold by us was 7.5 million barrels for fiscal year 2011, compared with 7.2 million barrels in 2010.

Upstream - Work commenced on the seven dip lines, 56 kilometer, Kwalaha seismic data acquisition program on September 16, 2011 and was completed on December 20, 2011.
