The well came on production during September and with this well on production through much of October, our natural gas sales from the Murucututu field increased 187% compared to Q3 2024. We are continuing to monitor production results from the well and we expect to drill a follow-up location up-dip from the 183-A3 well from a prebuilt well pad starting later this year. <\/p>\n<p> In the fourth quarter we are planning an optimization project on our 183-B1 well which was originally drilled and tested in 2022. <\/p>\n<p> Financial and Operating Highlights \u2013 Third Quarter of 2024 <\/p>\n<p> Our average daily sales increased to 2,106 boepd in Q3 2024 (+24% from Q3 2023 and +29% from Q2 2024) with increased natural gas demand.<br \/>\n With higher overall sales volumes, our natural gas, condensate and oil revenue increased to <span> $12.9 million <\/span> , an increase of <span> $0.6 million <\/span> from Q3 2023 and <span> $2.2 million <\/span> from Q2 2024.<br \/>\n Our operating netback  (2)  in the quarter was <span> $59.19 <\/span> per boe (- <span> $11.15 <\/span> per boe from Q3 2023) due mainly to the reduction in our realized sales price per boe.<br \/>\n We generated funds flows from operations  (2)  of <span> $9.9 million <\/span> ( <span> $0.27 <\/span> per basic share and <span> $0.26 <\/span> per diluted share), an increase of <span> $0.3 million <\/span> compared to Q3 2023 and <span> $2.0 million <\/span> compared to Q2 2024 due mainly to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower realized prices.<br \/>\n We reported net income of <span> $7.2 million <\/span> in Q3 2024, an increase of <span> $1.3 million <\/span> compared to Q3 2023 and <span> $4.8 million <\/span> compared to Q2 2024 due mainly to higher sales volumes and foreign exchange gains in <span> Brazil <\/span> on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany balances and lease liabilities.<br \/>\n Capital expenditures totaled <span> $4.7 million <\/span> , including costs to recomplete both the 183-A3 and the 183(1) wells on our Murucututu field and costs associated with the facilities upgrade at our Cabur\u00e9 field.<br \/>\n Our working capital surplus was <span> $15.8 million <\/span> as of <span> September 30, 2024 <\/span> , increasing <span> $2.7 million <\/span> from <span> December 31, 2023 <\/span> and <span> $1.2 million <\/span> from <span> June 30, 2024 <\/span> . <\/p>\n<p> The following table provides a summary of Alvopetro\u2019s financial and operating results for the periods noted.

Such measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. While these measures may be common in the oil and gas industry, the Company\u2019s use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly defined measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP and other financial measures referred to in this report should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures prescribed by IFRS and they are not meant to enhance the Company\u2019s reported financial performance or position. These are complementary measures that are used by management in assessing the Company\u2019s financial performance, efficiency and liquidity and they may be used by investors or other users of this document for the same purpose. Below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures used in this news release. For more information with respect to financial measures which have not been defined by GAAP, including reconciliations to the closest comparable GAAP measure, see the \u2018  Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Measures  \u2018 section of the Company\u2019s MD&amp;A which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at  www.sedarplus.ca  . <\/p>\n<p> Non-GAAP Financial Measures <\/p>\n<p> Operating netback <\/p>\n<p> Operating netback is calculated as natural gas, oil and condensate revenues less royalties and production expenses. This calculation is provided in the \u2018  Operating Netback  \u2018 section of the Company\u2019s MD&amp;A using our IFRS measures. The Company\u2019s MD&amp;A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at  www.sedarplus.ca  . Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations. <\/p>\n<p> Non-GAAP Financial Ratios <\/p>\n<p> Operating netback per boe <\/p>\n<p> Operating netback is calculated on a per unit basis, which is per barrel of oil equivalent (\u2018boe\u2019). It is a common non-GAAP measure used in the oil and gas industry and management believes this measurement assists in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. It is a measure of the economic quality of the Company\u2019s producing assets and is useful for evaluating variable costs as it provides a reliable measure regardless of fluctuations in production. Alvopetro calculated operating netback per boe as operating netback divided by total sales volumes (boe). This calculation is provided in the \u2018  Operating Netback  \u2018 section of the Company\u2019s MD&amp;A using our IFRS measures. The Company\u2019s MD&amp;A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at  www.sedarplus.ca  . Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations on a per boe basis. <\/p>\n<p> Operating netback margin <\/p>\n<p> Operating netback margin is calculated as operating netback per boe divided by the realized sales price per boe. Operating netback margin is a measure of the profitability per boe relative to natural gas, oil and condensate sales revenues per boe. This calculation is provided in the \u00a0and is calculated as follows: <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span> Three Months Ended <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> September 30, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Nine Months Ended <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> September 30, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2024 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2023 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2024 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2023 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Operating netback \u2013 $ per boe <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 59.19 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 70.34 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 62.89 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 68.54 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Average realized price \u2013 $ per boe <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 66.46 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 78.90 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 71.06 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 75.90 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Operating netback margin <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 89\u00a0% <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 89\u00a0% <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 89\u00a0% <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 90\u00a0% <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Funds Flow from Operations Per Share <\/p>\n<p> Funds flow from operations per share is a non-GAAP ratio that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital, divided by the weighted the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period. For the periods reported in this news release the cash flows from operating activities per share and funds flow from operations per share is as follows: <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span> Three Months Ended <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> September 30, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Nine Months Ended <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> September 30, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> $ per share <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2024 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2023 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2024 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 2023 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Per basic share: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Cash flows from operating activities <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.29 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.34 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.75 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 1.07 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Funds flow from operations <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.27 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.26 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.71 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.96 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Per diluted share: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Cash flows from operating activities <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.28 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.33 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.74 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 1.05 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Funds flow from operations <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.26 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.25 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.70 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> 0.94 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Capital Management Measures <\/p>\n<p> Funds Flow from Operations <\/p>\n<p> Funds flow from operations is a non-GAAP capital management measure that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital. The most comparable GAAP measure to funds flow from operations is cash flows from operating activities. Management considers funds flow from operations important as it helps evaluate financial performance and demonstrates the Company\u2019s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities. Funds flow from operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flows from operating activities however management finds that the impact of working capital items on the cash flows reduces the comparability of the metric from period to period.

A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf\/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. <\/p>\n<p> Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Language <\/p>\n<p> This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words \u2018will\u2019, \u2018expect\u2019, \u2018intend\u2019 and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. Forward\u2010looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events. Accordingly, when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, Alvopetro cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. More particularly and without limitation, this news release contains forward-looking statements concerning the plans relating to the Company\u2019s operational activities, proposed exploration development activities and the timing for such activities, the expected natural gas price, gas sales and gas deliveries under Alvopetro\u2019s long-term gas sales agreement, exploration and development prospects of Alvopetro, capital spending levels, future capital and operating costs, future production and sales volumes, production allocations from the Cabur\u00e9 natural gas field,\u00a0 anticipated timing for upcoming drilling and testing of other wells, projected financial results, \u00a0and sources and availability of capital. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon assumptions and judgments with respect to the future including, but not limited to, expectations and assumptions concerning the timing of regulatory licenses and approvals, equipment availability, the success of future drilling, completion, testing, recompletion and development activities and the timing of such activities, the performance of producing wells and reservoirs, well development and operating performance, expectations regarding Alvopetro\u2019s working interest and the outcome of any redeterminations, environmental regulation, including regulation relating to hydraulic fracturing and stimulation, the ability to monetize hydrocarbons discovered, the outlook for commodity markets and ability to access capital markets, foreign exchange rates, general economic and business conditions, forecasted demand for oil and natural gas, the impact of global pandemics, weather and access to drilling locations, the availability and cost of labour and services, the regulatory and legal environment and other risks associated with oil and gas operations.\u00a0The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Actual results achieved during the forecast period will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. In addition, the declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may vary depending on numerous factors, including, without limitation, the Company\u2019s operational performance, available financial resources and financial requirements, capital requirements and growth plans.
