FULL YEAR ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $417 MILLION
PORTFOLIO TRANSFORMATION WELL UNDERWAY
RECORD SHAREHOLDER VALUE RETURNS
QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.147 PER SHARE
Bogota, Colombia – March 5, 2025 - GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPRK), a leading independent energy company with over 20 years of successful operations across Latin America, reports its consolidated financial results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 (“Fourth Quarter” or “4Q2024”) and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“Full Year” or “FY2024”). A conference call to discuss these financial results will be held on March 6, 2025, at 10:00 am (Eastern Standard Time).
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
GeoPark’s 4Q2024 and FY2024 results reflect a challenging operational environment in our key assets, a lower Brent price, higher costs and one-off impacts on our performance. However, despite these challenges our financial results remained resilient, demonstrating our ability to adapt and sustain strong profitability. Operating profit remained solid, highlighting a robust cash generation capacity and disciplined financial management amidst the portfolio transformation that is underway.
GeoPark delivered $77.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA1 in 4Q2024 compared to $117.8 million in 4Q2023, primarily due to lower average production (31,489 boepd vs. 38,315 boepd), lower realized prices ($59.6/bbl vs. $67.1/bbl), and one-off expenses of $3.2 million primarily related to organizational structure optimization and a retroactive overhead adjustment in Ecuador. FY2024 Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $416.9 million compared to $451.9 million in 2023, impacted by lower production (33,937 boepd vs. 36,563 boepd) and the one-off expenses explained above, partially offset by higher realized prices ($65.6/bbl vs. $64.0/bbl). Increased royalties and economic rights paid in kind had a neutral impact on Adjusted EBITDA, reducing revenue, and production and operating costs. Despite lower revenues, operating margin increased to 41% from 36% in 2023, highlighting GeoPark’s strong financial discipline and operational efficiency.
Net profit in 4Q2024 was $15.3 million, compared to $26.3 million in 4Q2023, mainly impacted by the effect during the quarter of the 6% Colombian peso devaluation over deferred income tax calculation, and one-off expenses of $5.4 million associated to the offer to purchase certain Repsol assets in Colombia and the acquisition of assets in Vaca Muerta. FY2024 net profit reached $96.4 million compared to $111.1 million in 2023, primarily due to the same factors.
During 2024, GeoPark invested $191.3 million in organic capital expenditures to drill 36 wells2. Each dollar invested in capital expenditures yielded $2.2 in Adjusted EBITDA, and the return on average capital employed (ROACE) reached 34%. GeoPark’s acquisition of four unconventional hydrocarbon blocks in Vaca Muerta, Argentina, became effective on July 1, 2024, delivering average production of 15,052 boepd gross (reaching a record of 16,060 boepd gross during November 2024) in 4Q2024, 19% higher than 3Q2024. These production volumes are not reflected in GeoPark’s 2024 consolidated production numbers as the closing of the transaction is pending regulatory approvals. As of December 31, 2024, GeoPark had already made advanced payments associated with the Vaca Muerta transaction totaling $54.1 million, including
1 For reconciliations, see “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Profit Before Income Tax” table below.
2 Not including 7 wells in Vaca Muerta.
$38.0 million towards the upfront consideration for the working interest in the Mata Mora and Confluencia Blocks and $16.1 million for the acquisition of midstream capacity. At closing, GeoPark will pay $152.0 million plus an interim period adjustment.3
Strategic capital allocation underpinned a probable reserves (2P) increase of 41% in 2024 versus 2023 on a pro-forma basis, supported by the addition of 74.6 mmboe from Vaca Muerta. At December 31, 2024, proven reserves (1P) of 102.0 mmboe and 2P reserves of 162.2 mmboe extended the 1P reserve life index (RLI) by 54% to 8.2 years, and the 2P RLI by 44% to 13.1 years. After a pivotal year in 2024, GeoPark now has a strategically balanced and diversified portfolio that combines the high growth trajectory and potential of the Vaca Muerta blocks with the established, mature production flows from the Llanos 34 and CPO-5 blocks.
Underscoring its commitment and ability to continue rewarding shareholders by making the highest annual payout in the Company's history, GeoPark returned $73.7 million to shareholders in FY2024 through dividends and buybacks, which represents a 14% capital return yield4. The 2024 buyback program, implemented in the form of a Dutch Auction, allowed GeoPark to reduce its outstanding shares by 8% to 51.2 million.
At end-2024 GeoPark’s cash balance was $276.8 million, including $124.8 million of organic cash proceeds and $152 million withdrawn under the offtake and prepayment agreement with Vitol to fund the closing payments associated to the Vaca Muerta transaction. Net leverage remained low at 0.9x, and debt profile remains resilient, with no significant maturities scheduled until 2030.
GeoPark started 2025 by completing an offering of $550 million senior notes due 2030 with an 8.75% coupon. The transaction enhances the Company’s financial flexibility and mitigates refinancing risk by extending the Company’s average debt maturity from 2.0 years to 4.6 years. Proceeds were partially used to repurchase $405.3 million of the 2027 Notes and repay obligations related to the Vaca Muerta acquisition, strengthening GeoPark’s capital structure.
GeoPark remains focused on maximizing production and driving efficiencies at its Llanos 34 and CPO-5 blocks in Colombia, while advancing its appraisal and exploration campaign to unlock additional growth. In Vaca Muerta, efforts will be directed towards developing the Mata Mora Norte Block and continuing the exploration campaign in the Confluencia Sur Block. As part of its North Star strategy, GeoPark will also continue to evaluate value accretive inorganic opportunities that offer growth in big assets, big basins and big plays.
Andrés Ocampo, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Temporary production disruptions and decline in our core Llanos fields made 2024 a challenging year for GeoPark. Despite this, we extended our reserves life, made a game-changing acquisition in Vaca Muerta, held true to our commitments on efficiency, safety and sustainability, returned over $73 million to shareholders, and proactively enhanced our financial flexibility through refinancing senior notes and repaying debt. Our ongoing 2025 work program includes Vaca Muerta and provides a solid foundation for future growth and value enhancement.”

Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release and its supplementary information have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release and its supplementary information have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release and its supplementary information may not sum due to rounding.
This press release and its supplementary information contain certain oil and gas metrics, including information per share, operating netback, reserve life index and others, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release and its supplementary information contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.
Forward-looking statements that appear in a number of places in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, regarding various matters, including production, timing for closing of the acquisition transaction, Work Program and Investment Guidelines, strategic initiatives, growth and capital allocation. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to the management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the Company which could affect whether these forward-looking statements are realized, see filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Oil and gas production figures included in this press release and its supplementary information are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses. Annual production per day is obtained by dividing total production by 365 days.
Non-GAAP Measures: The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and operating netback per boe, which are each non-GAAP measures, are useful because they allow the Company to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the period before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options and stock awards, unrealized results on commodity risk management contracts and other non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of profit or cash flow as determined by IFRS. The Company excludes the items listed above from profit for the period in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of profit, see the accompanying financial tables and the supplementary information.
Operating Netback per boe: Operating netback per boe should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from operating netback per boe are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of operating netback per boe. The Company’s calculation of operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Item 2
SUPPLEMENT TO FOURTH QUARTER & FULL-YEAR 2024 RESULTS RELEASE
This document should be read in conjunction with GeoPark’s Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Results Release, available on the Company’s website.
PRODUCTION, DELIVERIES AND REALIZED OIL PRICES
Production: Average net oil and gas production in 4Q2024 was 31,489 boepd, down 18% compared to 4Q2023 mainly due to an accelerated rate of decline in our core Llanos fields, the divestment of the Chilean business in January 2024 and suspended production at the Manati gas field in Brazil (GeoPark non-operated, 10% WI) due to unscheduled maintenance, partially offset by higher production in Ecuador. Oil represented 99.6% and 93.5% of total reported production in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023, respectively.
For further details, please refer to the 4Q2024 Operational Update published on January 21, 2025.
Deliveries: Oil and gas deliveries to GeoPark’s offtakers in 4Q2024 totaled 26,209 boepd, down by 19% compared to 4Q2023, mainly due to higher economic rights paid in kind, as well as lower production.
The mix of royalties and economic rights paid in kind versus in cash impacts revenue, production and operating costs, although it remains neutral with respect to Adjusted EBITDA. In 4Q2024, there was a significant increase in economic rights paid in kind compared to 4Q2023, resulting in lower revenue and lower production and operating costs (due to lower economic rights paid in cash).
Reference and Realized Oil Prices: Brent crude oil prices decreased by 11% to $74.0 per bbl during 4Q2024, and the consolidated realized oil sales price decreased by 15% to $61.9 per bbl in 4Q2024.
A breakdown of reference and net realized oil prices in relevant countries in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023 is shown in the tables below:

REVENUE AND COSTS
Revenue: Consolidated revenue decreased by 28% to $143.7 million in 4Q2024, compared to $199.7 million in 4Q2023, mainly reflecting lower realized oil and gas prices, and lower deliveries.
Sales of crude oil: Consolidated oil revenue decreased by 26% to $141.8 million in 4Q2024, mainly due to a 15% decrease in realized oil prices and a 13% decrease in deliveries. Oil revenue was 99% and 96% of total revenue in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023, respectively.

Sales of purchased crude oil: 4Q2024 sales of purchased crude oil increased to $1.4 million, which corresponds to oil trading operations (purchasing and selling crude oil from third parties with the cost of the oil purchased reflected in production and operating costs).
Sales of gas: Consolidated gas revenue decreased by 91% to $0.5 million in 4Q2024, compared to $5.9 million in 4Q2023, reflecting the divestment of the Chilean business in January 2024 and suspended production at the Manati gas field in Brazil. Gas revenue was 0.4% and 3% of total revenue in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023, respectively.

Commodity Risk Management Contracts: No results on commodity risk management contracts, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, were recorded in 4Q2024, compared to $0.2 million loss in 4Q2023.
In 4Q2024, GeoPark had zero cost collars covering 13,500 bopd including purchased puts with an average price of $70.0 per bbl and sold calls at an average price of $92.3 per bbl.
Please refer to the “Commodity Risk Management Contracts” section below for a description of hedges in place.
2
Production and Operating Costs: Consolidated production and operating costs decreased to $44.3 million in 4Q2024 from $60.9 million in 4Q2023, mainly resulting from lower economic rights paid in cash (due to higher economic rights paid in kind).
The table below provides a breakdown of production and operating costs in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023:

Consolidated operating costs amounted to $40.3 million in 4Q2024, compared to $40.5 million in 4Q2023, due to the effect of higher costs per boe partially offset by lower production and deliveries.
The table below provides the operating cost on a per boe basis in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023:

| (17.5) |
| (14.4) |
Consolidated royalties paid in cash amounted to $1.2 million in 4Q2024, compared to $1.3 million in 4Q2023.
Consolidated economic rights paid in cash (including high price participation, x-factor and other economic rights paid to the Colombian Government in cash) amounted to $1.4 million in 4Q2024 compared to $17.7 million in 4Q2023, due to higher volumes of economic rights paid in kind.
Consolidated purchased crude oil charges amounted to $1.2 million in 4Q2024 compared to $1.2 million in 4Q2023, which corresponds to oil trading operations (purchasing and selling crude oil from third parties with the sale of purchased oil being reflected in revenue).
Selling Expenses: Consolidated selling expenses decreased to $2.9 million in 4Q2024, compared to $4.8 million in 4Q2023.
Geological & Geophysical Expenses: Consolidated G&G expenses increased slightly to $4.0 million in 4Q2024, compared to $3.6 million in 4Q2023.
Administrative Expenses: Consolidated G&A increased to $13.8 million in 4Q2024 compared to $11.7 million in 4Q2023, mainly due to one-off expenses primarily related to organizational structure optimization and a retroactive overhead adjustment in Ecuador.
3
Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased by 34% to $77.7 million in 4Q2024. On a per boe basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $32.2 per boe in 4Q2024 from $39.6 per boe in 4Q2023.

| a) | RIK (Royalties in Kind) & Other: Includes royalties and other economic rights paid in kind in Colombia for approximately 5,011 bopd and 4,923 bopd in 4Q2024 and 4Q2023, respectively. No royalties were paid in kind in Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil or Chile. Production in Ecuador is reported before the Government’s production share. |
| b) | Conversion rate of $mcf/$boe=1/6. |
| c) | Operating costs per boe included in this table include certain adjustments to the reported figures (IFRS 16 and others). |
| d) | Reported in the Corporate business segment. |
| e) | Includes amounts recorded in the Chilean and Corporate business segment. |
Operating costs per boe in Colombia are affected by the mix of royalties and economic rights paid in kind versus paid in cash, as operating cost per boe is calculated as total operating costs (including the cost to produce barrels that are used to pay royalties and economic rights in kind) divided by barrels delivered to GeoPark’s offtakers (after royalties and economic rights paid in kind).
Depreciation: Consolidated depreciation charges amounted to $34.6 million in 4Q2024, compared to $34.6 million in 4Q2023.
Write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts: The consolidated write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts amounted to $0.2 million in 4Q2024, compared to $8.0 million in 4Q2023.

NOTICE
Additional information about GeoPark can be found in the Invest with Us section of the website at www.geo-park.com.
Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release and its supplementary information have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release and its supplementary information have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release and its supplementary information may not sum due to rounding.
This press release and its supplementary information contain certain oil and gas metrics, including information per share, operating netback, reserve life index and others, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release and its supplementary information contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.
Forward-looking statements that appear in a number of places in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, regarding various matters, including the development of the Mata Mora Norte Blocks and the continuation of the the exploratory campaign in the Confluencia Sur Block. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to the management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the Company which could affect whether these forward-looking statements are realized, see filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Oil and gas production figures included in this press release and its supplementary information are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses. Annual production per day is obtained by dividing total production by 365 days.
Non-GAAP Measures: The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and operating netback per boe, which are each non-GAAP measures, are useful because they allow the Company to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the period before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options and stock awards, unrealized results on commodity risk management contracts and other non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of profit or cash flow as determined by IFRS. The Company excludes the items listed above from profit for the period in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of profit, see the accompanying financial tables and the supplementary information.
Operating Netback per boe: Operating netback per boe should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from operating netback per boe are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of operating netback per boe. The Company’s calculation of operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
