 CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, estimated quantities and net present values of reserves, business strategy, plans and objectives of our management for future operations, covenant compliance, capital spending plans and benefits of the changes in our capital program or expenditures, our liquidity and financial condition and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “target”, “goal”, “plan”, “budget”, “objective”, “should”, or similar expressions or variations on these expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct or that, even if correct, intervening circumstances will not occur to cause actual results to be different than expected. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our operations are located in South America and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity, strikes, local blockades or protests; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of our products; other disruptions to local operations; global health events; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including inflation and changes resulting from a global health crisis, geopolitical events, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza region, or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC and other producing countries and the resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes; changes in commodity prices, including volatility or a prolonged decline in these prices relative to historical or future expected levels; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption more than we currently predict, which could cause further modification of our strategy and capital spending program; prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and volatile; the effect of hedges; the accuracy of productive capacity of any particular field; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of our products; our ability to execute our business plan, which may include acquisitions and realize expected benefits from current or future initiatives; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the ability to replace reserves and production and develop and manage reserves on an economically viable basis; the accuracy of testing and production results and seismic data, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates); the risk profile of planned exploration activities; the effects of drilling down-dip; the effects of waterflood and multi-stage fracture stimulation operations; the extent and effect of delivery disruptions, equipment performance and costs; actions by third parties; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for our operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; volatility or declines in the trading price of our common stock or bonds; the risk that we do not receive the anticipated benefits of government programs, including government tax refunds; our ability to access debt or equity capital markets from time to time to raise additional capital, increase liquidity, fund acquisitions or refinance debt; our ability to comply with financial covenants in our indentures and make borrowings under any future credit agreement; and those factors set out in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). This information included herein is given as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, except as otherwise required by the securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to or to withdraw, any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based.

On May 1, 2024, the Company amended the settlement terms of all outstanding stock option awards. As of this date, all outstanding stock options are to be net settled in cash resulting in a change in classification of stock options from equity to liability. On May 1, 2024, the Company recorded a liability of $4.4 million and an additional stock-based compensation costs of $0.4 million related to the modification of the stock option plan. As at June 30, 2024, the equity compensation award liability on the Company’s balance sheet included $5.0 million of current liability and $0.4 million of long-term liability related to the Company’s outstanding stock options.

The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the modification date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table:

Fair value of option modification
$0.00 - $6.11
Dividend yield (per share)Nil
Expected volatility
43% to 87%
Risk-free interest rate
4.6% to 5.1%
Expected term
0.1 - 4.9 years
Expected forfeiture rate
0% to 5%

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there was $6.2 million and $9.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, stock-based compensation expense was $0.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

As at June 30, 2024, there was $31.0 million (December 31, 2023 - $8.6 million) of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested PSUs, RSUs and stock options, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid out $10.4 million for PSUs vested on December 31, 2023 (six months ended June 30, 2023 - $15.1 million for PSUs vested on December 31, 2022).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company awarded nil and 0.5 million RSUs to employees pursuant to the existing 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, respectively. Under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, RSUs will vest one-third each year over a three-year period. Upon vesting, RSUs entitle the holder to receive either the underlying number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company intends to settle RSUs outstanding as at June 30, 2024, in cash.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding during each period.

Diluted net income or loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based
11


compensation arrangements and shares re-purchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as the options were anti-dilutive.

7. Revenue

The Company’s revenues are generated from oil sales at prices that reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for Vasconia or Castilla (Colombia sales) or Oriente (Ecuador sales) crude differentials, quality and transportation discounts and premiums each month. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 100% of the Company’s revenue resulted from oil sales (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - 100%). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, quality and transportation discounts were 15% and 17% of the average ICE Brent price (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - 18% and 20%), respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s production was sold primarily to one major customer in Colombia and Ecuador, representing 100% of the total sales volumes (during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - one major customer representing 98% of the total sales volumes).

As at June 30, 2024, accounts receivable included $0.1 million accrued sales revenue related to June 2024 production (December 31, 2023 - nil related to December 2023 production).

8. Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 145% in the comparative period of 2023.

Current income tax expense was $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $37.4 million in the corresponding period of 2023, primarily due to additional current tax expense related to a tax planning strategy, which was partially offset by a decrease in taxable income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the deferred income tax was a recovery of $37.9 million, primarily as a result of the recognition of additional tax losses resulting from a tax planning strategy, which were partially offset by tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the deferred income tax expense was $29.3 million mainly as a result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the difference between the effective tax rate of 19% and the 50% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of foreign taxes, 2022 true-up related to tax planning strategy and non-taxable foreign exchange adjustments. These were partially offset by an increase in valuation allowance, other permanent differences, non-deductible stock-based compensation and non-deductible royalties in Colombia.

The company strategically revised its 2022 tax return to use its tax receivable balance to offset current tax liabilities, rather than applying net operating loss carryforwards. This decision was driven by the expectation of higher future income tax rates and increased profitability. As a result, there was an increase in current tax expense which was offset by long-term tax receivable, ensuring no impact on cash flows. This approach preserved the Company’s net operating loss carryforward for future periods, providing greater tax benefits and flexibility in recovering tax receivables, while strengthening our equity position.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the difference between the effective tax rate of 145% and the 50% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible foreign translation adjustments, the impact of foreign taxes, non-deductible royalties in Colombia and non-deductible stock-based compensation. These were partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance.

9. Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Gran Tierra has several lawsuits and claims pending. The outcome of the lawsuits and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty; Gran Tierra believes the resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Gran Tierra records costs as they are incurred or become probable and determinable.

Letters of Credit and Other Credit Support

At June 30, 2024, the Company had provided letters of credit and other credit support totaling $235.9 million (December 31, 2023 - $220.1 million) relating to work commitment guarantees in Colombia and Ecuador contained in exploration contracts, the Suroriente Block extension agreement and other capital or operating requirements. Approximately $123.0 million relates to the Suroriente Block extension agreement.

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to market participants to settle liability at the measurement date. For financial instruments carried at fair value, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

Level 1 - Inputs representing quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities

At June 30, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments recognized on the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portion of long-term debt, long-term debt and other long-term liabilities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available information to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurement

The following table presents the Company’s fair value measurements of its financial instruments as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:
(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)As at June 30, 2024As at December 31, 2023

(1) The current portion of PEF is included in the other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(2) The long-term portion of restricted cash and cash equivalents is included in the other long-term assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents - Long-Term

The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate its carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

Prepaid Equity Forward

As at June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding PEF asset (As at December 31, 2023 - 1.0 million notional shares with a fair value of $5.6 million). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a nil and a $0.3 million loss, respectively, in general and administrative expenses relating to the PEF (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - $4.1 million and $5.8 million loss, respectively).

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company settled all outstanding notional PEF shares and received net proceeds of $5.1 million resulting in a $0.3 million loss on settlement.

Senior Notes

Financial instruments recorded at amortized cost at June 30, 2024, were the Senior Notes (Note 5).

At June 30, 2024, the carrying amounts of the 6.25% Senior Notes, 7.75% Senior Notes and 9.50% Senior Notes were $24.7 million, $23.8 million, and $535.1 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amounts less unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, and the fair values were $23.8 million, $21.0 million, and $560.0 million, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the “Financial Statements” as set out in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in Part II, Items 7 and 8, respectively, of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please see the cautionary language at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the identification of and risks relating to forward-looking statements and the risk factors described in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. On May 5, 2023, the Company completed 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten of the Company’s issued shares of Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued share of Common Stock. All share and per share data included in this quarterly report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Financial and Operational Highlights

Key Highlights for the second quarter of 2024
Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was $36.4 million or $1.16 per share basic and diluted, compared to a net loss of $10.8 million or $(0.33) per share basic and diluted in the second quarter of 2023 and a net loss of $0.1 million in the prior quarter
Income before income taxes in the second quarter of 2024 was $27.3 million, compared to income before income taxes of $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2023

In the second quarter of 2024, we re-purchased 0.4 million shares of Common Stock through the 2023 share re-purchase program. During the period from October 20, 2023 to July 29, 2024 we have re-purchased a total of 2.6 million shares or 8% of the outstanding shares as of June 30, 2024
NAR production for the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 4% to 26,002 BOPD, compared to 27,204 BOPD in the second quarter of 2023 and was comparable to 25,845 BOPD in the prior quarter

Oil sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $165.6 million, 5% higher compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in Brent price and lower Castilla, Vasconia, and Oriente differentials. Oil sales increased by 5% from $157.6 million in the prior quarter for the same reason mentioned above
Operating expenses decreased by 3% to $47.0 million when compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of lower lifting costs. On per bbl basis, operating expenses increased by $0.98 to $20.52 compared to the corresponding period of 2023 as a result of 8% lower sales volumes in the current quarter. Operating expenses decreased from $48.5 million in the prior quarter as a result of lower workover activities and were comparable on a per bbl basis
Transportation expenses per bbl increased by $0.99 and $0.55 when compared to the second quarter of 2023 and the prior quarter, respectively, resulting from the utilization of longer distance delivery points in response to lower water levels in the Magdalena river

Quality and transportation discounts for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to $12.79 per bbl compared to $14.10 per bbl in the second quarter of 2023 and $15.36 per bbl in the prior quarter, primarily as a result of the tightening of the Castilla, Vasconia, and Oriente differentials
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses before stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2024 increased to $10.7 million compared to $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 and $9.5 million in the prior quarter due to higher information technology expenses, general office expenses and bank fees during the current quarter
Capital additions for the second quarter of 2024 were $61.3 million compared to $65.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to a lower number of wells drilled in the second quarter of 2024, and compared to $55.3 million in the prior quarter due to the commencement of the 2024 seismic program in Ecuador

(2) Non-GAAP measures.

Operating netback, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and funds flow from operations are non-GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Management views these measures as financial performance measures. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to oil sales, net (loss) income or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure is preceded by the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil sales less operating and transportation expenses. Management believes that operating netback is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors to analyze financial performance and provides an indication of the results generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from oil sales to operating netback is provided in the table above.

EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for depletion, depreciation and accretion (“DD&A”) expenses, interest expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, is defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash lease expense, lease payments, foreign exchange gain or loss, stock-based compensation expense and other gain or loss. Management uses this supplemental measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income and believes that this financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net (loss) income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Oil production NAR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by 4% and 2%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2023 due to lower volumes in the Acordionero field caused by downtime related to workovers, partially offset by higher production in the Costayaco field in Colombia, and increased production from the Chanangue Block in Ecuador related to positive exploration well drilling results. Oil production NAR was comparable to the prior quarter.

Royalties as a percentage of WI production for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to 21% and 20%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2023 and the prior quarter, commensurate with the increase in benchmark oil prices and the price sensitive royalty regime in Colombia and Ecuador.

The Midas Block includes the Acordionero field, the Suroriente Block includes the Cohembi field, and the Chaza Block includes the Costayaco and Moqueta fields. Ecuador includes the Charapa and Chanangue Blocks.

Realized price per bbl for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 14% and 9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2023, primarily as a result of a 9% and 4% increase in Brent price and lower differentials. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Castilla differentials decreased to $8.21 and $8.51 per barrel from $9.41 and $12.29 per barrel, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2023. Vasconia differentials decreased to $4.00 and $4.52 per barrel from $5.53 and $6.70 per barrel, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2023. Oriente differentials decreased to $8.38 and $8.20 per barrel from $11.43 and $12.43 per barrel, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2023.

Compared to the prior quarter, the average realized price per bbl increased by 9%, primarily due to a 4% increase in Brent price and lower differentials in the current quarter.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by 3% to $47.0 million compared to the corresponding period of 2023, primarily due to lower lifting costs, partially offset by higher workover activities. On a per bbl basis, operating expenses increased by $0.98 per bbl to $20.52 per bbl compared to the corresponding period of 2023 as a result of 8% lower sales volumes in the current quarter.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 6% to $95.5 million or by $1.54 per bbl to $20.47 per bbl compared to the corresponding period of 2023, primarily as a result of higher workover costs.

Compared to the prior quarter, operating expenses decreased by 3% from $48.5 million, primarily due to lower workover activities and were comparable on a per bbl basis.

Transportation expenses

We have options to sell our oil through multiple pipelines and trucking routes. Each option has varying effects on realized sales price and transportation expenses. The following table shows the percentage of oil volumes we sold in Colombia and Ecuador using each option for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the prior quarter:

Current income tax expense was $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $37.4 million in the corresponding period of 2023, primarily due to additional current tax expense related to tax planning strategy, which is partially offset by a decrease in taxable income.

The deferred income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was a recovery of $37.9 million primarily as a result of the recognition of additional tax losses resulting from a tax planning strategy which were partially offset by depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the difference between the effective tax rate of 19% and the 50% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of foreign taxes, 2022 true-up related to tax planning strategy and non-taxable foreign exchange adjustments. These were partially offset by an increase in valuation allowance, other permanent differences, non-deductible stock-based compensation and non-deductible royalties in Colombia.

The company strategically revised its 2022 tax return to use its tax receivables balance to offset current tax liabilities, rather than applying net operating loss carryforwards. This decision was driven by the expectation of higher future tax rates and increased profitability. As a result, there was an increase in current tax expense, which was offset by long-term tax receivables, ensuring no impact on cash flows. However, the increased tax expense did negatively affect our fund flows. Nonetheless, this approach preserved our net operating loss carryforwards for future periods, providing greater tax benefits and flexibility in recovering tax receivables, while strengthening our equity position.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the difference between the effective tax rate of 145% and the 50% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible foreign translation adjustments, the impact of foreign taxes, non-deductible royalties in Colombia and non-deductible stock-based compensation. These were partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance.

The deferred income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $29.3 million, primarily as a result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.

We believe that our capital resources, including cash on hand and cash generated from operations, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our strategic objectives and planned capital program for the next 12 months, given the current oil price trends and production levels. We may also access capital markets to pursue financing, including for repayment of debt in the future. In accordance with our investment policy, available cash balances are held in our primary cash management banks or may be invested in U.S. or Canadian government-backed federal, provincial or state securities or other money market instruments with high credit ratings and short-term liquidity. We believe that our current financial position provides us with the flexibility to respond to both internal growth opportunities and those available through acquisitions. We intend to pursue growth

opportunities and acquisitions from time to time, which may require significant capital to be located in basins or countries beyond our current operations, involve joint ventures, or be sizable compared to our current assets and operations.

As at December 31, 2023, we had a $36.4 million balance outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. On February 6, 2024, the outstanding balance of $36.4 million was fully re-paid and the credit facility was terminated.

On February 6, 2024, we issued an additional $100.0 million of 9.50% Senior Notes due October 2029 (the “new 9.50% Senior Notes”), and received cash proceeds of $88.0 million. The new 9.50% Senior Notes have the same terms and provisions as the previously issued $487.6 million 9.50% Senior Notes except for the issue price. The new 9.50% Senior Notes accrue interest from October 20, 2023, the date of issuance of the previously issued 9.50% Senior Notes. The Company received a cash payment of $2.8 million related to the accrued interest of the new 9.50% Senior Notes.

At June 30, 2024, we had a $24.8 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (“6.25% Senior Notes”), $24.2 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2027, and $587.6 million aggregate principal amount of 9.50% Senior Notes due 2029, outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we implemented a share re-purchase program (the “2023 Program”) through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and eligible alternative trading platforms in Canada or United States. Under the 2023 Program, we are able to purchase at prevailing market prices up to 3,234,914 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 10% of the public float as of October 20, 2023. Re-purchases are subject to prevailing market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock, our financial performance and other conditions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we re-purchased 404,314 and 1,290,980 shares at a weighted average price of $9.20 and $6.71 per share (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - 20,439 and 1,328,650 shares under the 2022 program at a weighted average price of $5.27 and $8.15 per share), respectively. We cancelled 28,612 held as treasury shares as at December 31, 2023 and cancelled 418,620 and 1,276,674 shares re-purchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. During the period from October 20, 2023 to July 29, 2024, we have re-purchased 2,604,796 shares under the 2023 Program.

One of the primary sources of variability in our cash flows from operating activities is the fluctuation in oil prices. Sales volume changes, costs related to operations and debt transactions also impact cash flows. Our cash flows from operating activities are
34


also impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, funds flow from operations decreased by 13% compared to the corresponding period of 2023, due to higher income tax and lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher Brent price. Funds flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 7%, compared to the corresponding period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in Brent price, lower transportation and quality discounts and realized foreign exchange gain, partially offset by lower sales volumes, higher operating costs, taxes and interest expense.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Item 7 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and have not changed materially since the filing of that document.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity price risk

Our principal market risk relates to oil prices. Oil prices are volatile and unpredictable and influenced by concerns over world supply and demand imbalance and many other market factors outside of our control. Our revenues are from oil sales at ICE Brent adjusted for quality differentials.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is a factor for our Company but is ameliorated to a certain degree by the nature of expenditures and revenues in the countries where we operate. Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars and 100% of our revenues are related to the U.S. dollar price of Brent adjusted for quality differentials. We receive 100% of our revenues in U.S. dollars and the majority of our capital expenditures is in U.S. dollars or is based on U.S. dollar prices. The majority of value added taxes, operating and G&A expenses in Colombia are in the local currency. Certain G&A expenses incurred at our head office in Canada are denominated in Canadian dollars. While we operate in South America exclusively, the majority of our acquisition expenditures have been valued and paid in U.S. dollars.

Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses result primarily from the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar to the Colombian peso due to our accounts payable, current and deferred tax assets and liabilities which are monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the local currency of the Colombian foreign operations. As a result, a foreign exchange gain or loss must be calculated on conversion to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. As our Senior Notes bear interest at fixed rates, we have no material exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by Gran Tierra in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule l3a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Gran Tierra’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
See Note 9 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and any material matters that have arisen since the filing of such report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, you should carefully read and consider the factors set out in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The unprecedented nature of ongoing conflicts in several parts of the world, along with volatility in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry may make it more difficult to identify all the risks to our business, results of operations and financial condition and the ultimate impact of identified risks.

On May 1, 2024, the Company amended the settlement terms of all outstanding stock option awards. As of this date, all outstanding stock options are to be net settled in cash resulting in a change in classification of stock options from equity to liability. On May 1, 2024, the Company recorded a liability of $4.4 million and an additional stock-based compensation costs of $0.4 million related to the modification of the stock option plan. As at June 30, 2024, the equity compensation award liability on the Company’s balance sheet included $5.0 million of current liability and $0.4 million of long-term liability related to the Company’s outstanding stock options.

The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the modification date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there was $6.2 million and $9.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, stock-based compensation expense was $0.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
t June 30, 2024, there was $31.0 million (December 31, 2023 - $8.6 million) of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested PSUs, RSUs and stock options, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid out $10.4 million for PSUs vested on December 31, 2023 (six months ended June 30, 2023 - $15.1 million for PSUs vested on December 31, 2022).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company awarded nil and 0.5 million RSUs to employees pursuant to the existing 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, respectively. Under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, RSUs will vest one-third each year over a three-year period. Upon vesting, RSUs entitle the holder to receive either the underlying number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company intends to settle RSUs outstanding as at June 30, 2024, in cash.
Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding during each period.

Diluted net income or loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based
compensation arrangements and shares re-purchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as the options were anti-dilutive.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Revenue
The Company’s revenues are generated from oil sales at prices that reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for Vasconia or Castilla (Colombia sales) or Oriente (Ecuador sales) crude differentials, quality and transportation discounts and premiums each month. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 100% of the Company’s revenue resulted from oil sales (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - 100%). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, quality and transportation discounts were 15% and 17% of the average ICE Brent price (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - 18% and 20%), respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s production was sold primarily to one major customer in Colombia and Ecuador, representing 100% of the total sales volumes (during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - one major customer representing 98% of the total sales volumes).
As at June 30, 2024, accounts receivable included $0.1 million accrued sales revenue related to June 2024 production (December 31, 2023 - nil related to December 2023 production).

Taxes Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 145% in the comparative period of 2023.

Current income tax expense was $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $37.4 million in the corresponding period of 2023, primarily due to additional current tax expense related to a tax planning strategy, which was partially offset by a decrease in taxable income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the deferred income tax was a recovery of $37.9 million, primarily as a result of the recognition of additional tax losses resulting from a tax planning strategy, which were partially offset by tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the deferred income tax expense was $29.3 million mainly as a result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the difference between the effective tax rate of 19% and the 50% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of foreign taxes, 2022 true-up related to tax planning strategy and non-taxable foreign exchange adjustments. These were partially offset by an increase in valuation allowance, other permanent differences, non-deductible stock-based compensation and non-deductible royalties in Colombia.

The company strategically revised its 2022 tax return to use its tax receivable balance to offset current tax liabilities, rather than applying net operating loss carryforwards. This decision was driven by the expectation of higher future income tax rates and increased profitability. As a result, there was an increase in current tax expense which was offset by long-term tax receivable, ensuring no impact on cash flows. This approach preserved the Company’s net operating loss carryforward for future periods, providing greater tax benefits and flexibility in recovering tax receivables, while strengthening our equity position.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the difference between the effective tax rate of 145% and the 50% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible foreign translation adjustments, the impact of foreign taxes, non-deductible royalties in Colombia and non-deductible stock-based compensation. These were partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement
Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to market participants to settle liability at the measurement date. For financial instruments carried at fair value, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

Level 1 - Inputs representing quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities

At June 30, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments recognized on the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portion of long-term debt, long-term debt and other long-term liabilities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available information to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurement

The following table presents the Company’s fair value measurements of its financial instruments as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

(1) The current portion of PEF is included in the other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(2) The long-term portion of restricted cash and cash equivalents is included in the other long-term assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents - Long-Term

The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate its carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

Prepaid Equity Forward

As at June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding PEF asset (As at December 31, 2023 - 1.0 million notional shares with a fair value of $5.6 million). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a nil and a $0.3 million loss, respectively, in general and administrative expenses relating to the PEF (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - $4.1 million and $5.8 million loss, respectively).

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company settled all outstanding notional PEF shares and received net proceeds of $5.1 million resulting in a $0.3 million loss on settlement.
Senior Notes

Financial instruments recorded at amortized cost at June 30, 2024, were the Senior Notes (Note 5).
At June 30, 2024, the carrying amounts of the 6.25% Senior Notes, 7.75% Senior Notes and 9.50% Senior Notes were $24.7 million, $23.8 million, and $535.1 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amounts less unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, and the fair values were $23.8 million, $21.0 million, and $560.0 million, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim periods.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding during each period.

Diluted net income or loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based
compensation arrangements and shares re-purchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.
