I would now like to turn the conference over to Carolina Orozco, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Good morning and welcome to Canacol's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 financial results conference call. This is Carolina Orozco, Vice President of Investor Relations. I am with Mr. Charle Gamba, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jason Bednar, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, it is important to mention that the comments on this call by Canacol's senior management can include projections of the corporation's future performance. These projections neither constitute any commitment as to future results nor take into account risks or uncertainties that could materialize. As a result, Canacol assumes no responsibility in the event that future results are different from the projections shared on this conference call. Please note that all finance figures on this call are denominated in US dollars. We will begin the presentation with our President and CEO, Mr. Charle Gamba, who will summarize highlights for the corporation's fiscal year 2024 results. Mr. Jason Bednar, our CFO, will then discuss financial highlights for the fourth quarter of 2024. Mr. Gamba will close with a discussion of the corporation's outlook for the remainder of 2025. At the end, we will have a Q&A session. We will now turn over the call to Mr. Charle Gamba, President and CEO of Canacol Energy. Thanks, Carolina, and welcome everyone to Canacol's fourth quarter and fiscal year-end 2024 conference call. We're pleased to report that this past year was a record-breaking one for Canacol Energy, with EBITDAX reaching a new high of $296 million, 25% higher than the EBITDAX recorded in 2023. Our realized natural gas prices for the year were $6.99 per 1,000 scf, which generated net backs of between $5.41 per 1,000 scf, 32% higher compared to last year, all the while maintaining a strong operational margin of 77%. In 2024, we averaged 165 million scf per day equivalent of gas and oil sales, which included an average of 157 million scf per day of natural gas. Through our disciplined approach to capital management, we will continue investing in key projects focused on increasing our EBITDAX generation and reserves base, as well as reducing our debt. During 2024, we invested $122 million in capital, 43% lower compared to the previous year and lower than our 2024 guidance of $138 million. This reduction is attributed to drilling and cost efficiency efforts during the course of the year. These capital efficiencies, combined with our strong financial performance, enable us to close the year with a cash position of $79 million. Strong commodity pricing, combined with our focus on cost reduction and production optimization, have been essential to maximize our response to market dynamics and achieve these strong results. From a drilling perspective, we drilled a total of five exploration wells and five development wells, with four out of the five exploration wells and all of the development wells being successful. We're also releasing our oil and gas reserves and deemed volumes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Through our exploration and development drilling efforts, we achieved a 2P reserve replacement ratio of 85%, with 53 billion cu ft in new discoveries. This brings our total 2P reserves to 599 billion cu ft of gas equivalent. The net present value of the future net revenues from our 2P reserves, discounted at 10%, is now estimated at $2.6 billion before tax and $2 billion after tax. These figures represent an increase of 21% and 13%, respectively, compared to 2023 year-end. The before-tax value translates to CAD 109 per share of reserve value and CAD 79 per share of 2P net asset value, highlighting the strong intrinsic value of our reserve portfolio. Furthermore, with a reserve index of 10.2 years, our 2P reserves will sustain long-term production, supporting our ongoing development and future exploration projects. Finally, we're pleased to share the results of the corporate sustainability assessment conducted by S&P Global. In this rigorous evaluation, we achieved a total score of 75 points, ranking us as the fourth best company out of 165 participants in the global oil and gas business, upstream and integrated sector in the entire world. We achieved an eighth place in the environmental dimension, improving three positions from last year, fourth place in social dimension, improving eight positions from last year, and for the second consecutive year, we ranked first in governance. I'll now turn the presentation over to Jason Bednar, our CFO, who will discuss 2024 fourth quarter results. Thanks, Charle. The fourth quarter of 2024 was another very strong quarter for us, with record EBITDAX generation and net backs. Our realized natural gas price net of transportation reached $7.81 per MCF during the three months ended December 31st, 2024, with operating expenses averaging $0.45 per MCF, 26% lower compared to the same period in 2023. Building on this cost efficiency and supported by our strong realized pricing, we achieved record natural gas operating net backs of $6.12 per MCF, which is 39% higher year-over-year and being the highest quarterly net back in the corporation's history. Our emphasis on operational efficiency continues to strengthen our financial results, enabling us to keep costs and capital expenditures in check while preserving strong operational and financial metrics. At the same time, as Charle noted, Colombia's tight natural gas supply reinforces our solid commercial approach, which balances stable long-term take-or-pay contracts with healthy interruptible sales exposure. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we generated total revenues net of royalties and transportation expenses of $98.3 million, which were 23% higher compared to the $79.7 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted funds from operations for the quarter totaled $52.1 million, a 68% increase from the $31 million in the same period of 2023, largely driven by higher EBITDAX. Adjusted EBITDAX rose significantly by 43%, reaching $76.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $53.1 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was driven primarily by higher operating net backs for natural gas. The corporation realized a net loss of $25.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net income of $29.9 million in the same period of 2023. The net loss for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, is the result of a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $28.9 million as compared to a non-cash deferred income tax recovery of $31.7 million in 2023, offset by an increase in EBITDAX. Q4 2024 deferred tax expense is mainly driven by the foreign exchange impact on the corporation's unused tax pools and capital pools. Our accrued capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2024, was $28.6 million, 60% down from $72.2 million in Q4 2023. This reduction reflects lower spending on warehouse inventory, drilling, completion workovers and related costs, and land and seismic acquisition, aligning with the corporation's commitment to capital efficiency. Our strategic investments and operational efficiencies have allowed us to achieve a return of capital employed of 18% for the fourth quarter, a significant improvement compared to the 11% reported in the same period of 2023. This reflects our disciplined approach to prioritizing high-return projects and optimizing capital allocation, ensuring that each investment contributes meaningfully to our financial performance. As of December 31, 2024, the corporation had $79.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, marking its strongest cash position since Q3 of 2022, along with a working capital surplus of $45.5 million. Further, as announced on February 24, alongside our guidance, the cash position at that date still remained at $79 million, and I'm pleased to provide an update that as of today, the cash position remains at approximately $80 million. With this strong liquidity, the corporation is well-suited to address both current and future operational requirements while preserving the financial flexibility needed to seize strategic opportunities and sustain long-term growth. I'd also like to highlight our declining leverage ratio, which was approximately 2.9x at both year-end 2023 and March 31, 2024. That leverage ratio fell consistently throughout 2024, and at December 31, 2024, stood at 2.31x as a result of both record EBITDA and a very strong cash position, and indeed lower than the 2024 guidance we issued at the start of the year of between 2.4x-2.8 x. One of the corporation's 2025 objectives is to reduce our debt levels. The Macquarie two-year term loan remains drawn at $50 million and begins terming out in four equal quarterly installments of $12.5 million, with the first of such payments scheduled for December 2025. In addition to that, the corporation will continue to monitor its prospective free cash flow throughout the year, with the goal of potential further debt repayments or bond buybacks while balancing its capital programs and successful exploration developments. As of the end of the fourth quarter, we are fully compliant with all financial covenants, which include the following. First, the consolidated leverage ratio of 3.2x in currence and 3.5x maintenance-based. Our current leverage ratio of 2.31 is well inside this covenant. The second covenant is a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.5x. Our current coverage ratio is at 5.1, which is well above the minimum required. Finally, a consolidated current ratio requirement of minimum one times, and we currently stand at 1.7x. As such, we're well inside all of our financial restrictions. This concludes my comments. I'll hand it back to Charle now. Thanks, Jason. In 2025, our focus is fivefold. Firstly, maintaining and growing Canacol's EBITDA generation and reserves through higher commodity pricing and investment in drilling, workover, and new facilities projects. Secondly, drilling high-impact gas exploration opportunities in both the Lower and Middle Magdalena Valleys. Third, reducing our debt. Fourth, laying the groundwork to be able to commence operations in Bolivia in 2026. Fifth and finally, continue the corporation's commitment to its ESG strategy. We published our 2025 guidance in February, announcing a capital program ranging from $143 million-$160 million. Throughout the year, we expect the average natural gas and oil sales between 146 million-159 million scf per day of gas equivalent, with natural gas sales projected to be between 140 million-153 million scf per day. We expect commodity prices to remain strong throughout the rest of this year and into next year, and hence lowered our take-or-pay volumes to 111 million scf per day in order to maximize our exposure to the higher-priced spot sales market. We anticipate wellhead natural gas prices, including both take-or-pay and interruptible volumes, net of transportation to range between $7.33-$7.65 per 1,000 scf. By maintaining disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiencies, we expect to sustain net backs between $5.81-$6.19 per 1,000 scf, resulting in an EBITDA forecast of $264 million-$312 million for 2025. It's important to note that a $1 change in the cost of interruptible gas pricing impacts EBITDA by $9 million-$14 million, highlighting our ability to capture opportunities in the market under higher pricing. In 2025, we also plan to increase our exploration activities in both the Lower and Middle Magdalena Valley basins as part of our long-term commitment to maintaining and growing the corporation's reserves and production base. We intend to drill up to 11 exploration wells, including 10 new wells in the Lower Magdalena Valley and one in the Middle Magdalena Valley. High-impact wells include the Natilla-2 well, where we plan to penetrate the primary CDO target shortly, having found significant reserves already in the overlying Porquero Formation. A second high-impact well would include the Valiente well located in the Middle Magdalena Valley. Additionally, we will continue to optimize output by installing more compression processing facilities and executing workovers in key producing areas. Through this multi-tiered drilling approach, which includes high-impact exploration, near-field tie-ins, and ongoing development work, we expect to continue positioning ourselves as the largest independent supplier to Colombia's natural gas market for the long term. Looking ahead, we see significant exploration potential with over 7.5 trillion cu ft of risk prospective resource on our current exploration portfolio spread across the Lower and Middle Magdalena Valleys of Colombia. Through our disciplined approach to capital management, we will continue investing in key projects focusing on increasing our EBITDAX generation and reserve base, as well as reducing our debt. Outside of Colombia, we are progressing with our strategic entry into Bolivia. We have signed three exploration contracts, the Arenales, Ovai, and Florida Este, and one field redevelopment contract, Tita, all located in the prolific gas-producing Sub-Andean Basin of Bolivia. These contracts are pending congressional ratification and formalization to establish their effective dates, which we anticipate to achieve in September of this year. We're currently preparing to apply for the environmental permit for Tita and developing our plans for the field's redevelopment with the intention to begin investments and field reactivation activities in 2026. Although the Sub-Andean Basin is underdeveloped in terms of resource, it benefits from an existing export pipeline network into Brazil, creating a very favorable environment for commercialization of any gas we can bring back onto production or find. By leveraging our technical expertise and proven ability to commercialize gas, we aim to expand our regional footprint and diversify our resource base. Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to updating you on our progress in the coming months. We're now ready to take questions. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. Once again, we will only be taking questions from the webcast. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. Please stand by. Thank you. The first question we have today is from Omar from Oppenheimer. How will the company replenish its PDP reserves, and how easy or how fast can you currently not producing 1P reserves turn into production? Thanks, Omar. The way we typically increase our PDP reserves, generally through in-field work, such as workovers of existing wells, which open new producing zones in the well, currently producing wells, the installation of compression in the field, which lowers the dry down pressure on the reservoir so we can suck more gas and push more gas out of the well. These two activities are always ongoing in our operations and always result in increases of PDP reserves from existing wells. The second way to increase PDP, of course, is to bring on new production from new wells and new discoveries, which we have done so far this year in the example of Siku-2, for example, Lulo-3, and hopefully bringing Natilla-2 on by year-end. Through those two activities, in-field work related to working over existing wells and the installation of compression, as well as bringing on new wells, we manage to increase and replace our PDP reserves on a yearly basis. Thank you, Charle. The next question is from Peter Bowley from Jefferies. You have $12.5 million in short-term debt under the senior term loan with Macquarie. Can you remind us the amortization profile of this loan, and can you confirm production levels have been sufficient to not trigger an accelerated amortization event under the TL accredited agreement? Sure. Thanks, Carolina. The Macquarie loan, $50 million, was taken out in September of 2024. There is no debt repayments for the first 12 months. As such, the first quarterly installment, as I mentioned earlier, is in December of 2025, and it's four equal quarterly installments of $12.5 million, with the last one being in September 2026. Production levels sufficient? Yeah, the production levels have not dipped below any form of accelerated amortization for any month since inception to date. For those that aren't aware, should it trigger, which once again, we do not expect that to happen, it would simply pay out in six payments beginning in October 2025. Essentially, it'd pay out over the final six months instead of the final 12 months, but we're not anticipating that. There's another question from Peter. Can you share an update on Natilla-2 and when you target knowing results? Yes, Peter. We're currently running casing in the well to isolate the gas that we have already discovered within the shallow or Porquero Formation. Once we've completed that casing operation, we will commence drilling again to deepen the well through the primary target, which is the Cienaga de Oro. These operations should take between four to five weeks. Thank you, Charle. The next question is from Alexander Emery from S&P Global Platts. Can you provide more color on your plans for your Bolivian blocks this year? We understand Canacol signed the four contracts with Bolivia's energy ministry in January. Yes. In Bolivia, we are waiting for the ratification of the four contracts by Congress. We anticipate that to occur in September of this year. In the meantime, we are preparing all the paperwork to submit for environmental permitting of the Tita block so that we can start operations in Tita next year. Those operations would include workovers of existing wells, testing of existing wells, the construction of early production gas treatment facilities, and the construction of a short flow line to tie those wells into the export line to Brazil. That is the status of Bolivia. We're aiming to have production from Bolivia, hopefully exiting in 2026. The next question is from Alejandra Andrade from J.P. Morgan. On the tax side, can you remind us the expected cash payment for 2025? To clarify, you do not need to get rebates from the government, but simply will make a lower payment, correct? Yeah. As our guidance press release roughly a month ago stated, the tax installment that we will pay in Q2 totaled $18 million, of which $12 million is a prepayment related to 2025 tax. Of course, we have roughly $1 million a month comes off our revenue checks, being like 2% or 2.5%. It is not a big number. No, we do not expect any rebates. Anything we have overpaid essentially just rolls into a credit for the next year and thus lowers that year's taxes too. Thank you, Jason. The next question is from Oriana Covault from Balanz. In your reserve reports, we see your price forecast for the next five years with revisions to close to 40% versus 2024 report. Can you shed additional color on what are you seeing behind your expectations? If you're using any benchmark reports for forecasts? Yes. This reflects not only the current market dynamics in Colombia, where there is a shortfall of gas supply, but also the cost of imported and regasified LNG into Colombia. Essentially, the benchmark that applies to Colombia, specifically the landing point of the SPEC terminal located in Cartagena, parallels that of Brazilian imported LNG pricing at a premium of about 10%-15% given the relatively small loads that Colombia can accept. That forecast going forward reflects current market conditions, which are being driven by the shortage of gas and the relatively high cost of imported LNG into Colombia, tied to the Brazilian import benchmark. Thank you, Charle. We have a question from Alexander from Solaris Investment and Management. When it comes to reducing debt, what is your priority? Buying back bonds or reducing the RCF? First of all, as I mentioned, we do have some scheduled Macquarie payments, which is not dissimilar from the RCF, perhaps. Obviously, the quickest way to delever post that would be to buy back bonds at a discounted rate. That is certainly on the radar. Any excess cash flow, I suspect, will be allocated to a mix of both, whether it is the RCF or the bond buyback. It is entirely possible and perhaps likely that we will be extending the term of the RCF also. We have a question from Bernardo Carbajal from Farellones Capital. Thank you for the webinar. Are you considering any sale of assets to help deleverage? No, we are not. The next question is from Andres Castillo from Kratos Capital Partners. Please talk to us about how you see pricing of natural gas evolving vis-à-vis the price of imported LNG via Cartagena or Buenaventura. Yeah. I mean, the only practical in the mid to near term, and that's the next five to six years, the only potential source of new imported volumes of LNG would be through the expansion of the SPEC terminal in Cartagena. That's a fairly limited capacity terminal at the moment. There is not a lot of potential in the near to midterm to significantly increase imports of LNG into Colombia. We expect, again, as I mentioned in an earlier question, that imported LNG pricing in Colombia will certainly be at a premium to Brazilian benchmarks and international benchmarks in general, given the relatively small volumes that are involved and the smaller ships that are used at higher cost to import gas into Colombia. With respect to the Buenaventura terminal on the Pacific Coast, that project has now been on the books for at least 15 years. Technically, extremely difficult to achieve given having to cross the Western Andes with a gas pipeline. That project remains very distant in any terms of potential outlook, certainly well beyond 10 years. Once again, we are going to pause momentarily while we gather more questions from our webcast side. Please stand by. We have one last question from Ezequiel Fernandez from Balanz. How will Canacol fund the expansion into Bolivia? Would this require an equity injection or does Canacol plan to raise more debt, possibly non-recourse? Yes. As I mentioned in response to the early question, the only activity we have planned next year is some reactivation activities associated with the Tita gas field. That would involve essentially the workover of up to five existing wells, the installation of some production treatment facilities, and a relatively short flow line to tie the facilities into the export line. We anticipate that that will cost approximately $12.5 million in total. The result of that investment would be commercializing gas production. Certainly in the near term, 2026, relatively small investment into Bolivia simply to reestablish production from that existing gas field. Going forward, 2027 and beyond, we would start drilling new wells in both that existing gas field as well as start exploring some of the three other blocks over the next five years. We expect cash flow from Tita as a result of next year's activities and essentially relatively minimal amounts of new cash into Bolivia once Tita is up and cash flowing. Thank you, Charle. This was the last question. Thanks, everyone, for joining us today. We appreciate your time and interest, and we look forward to connecting with you again on our next call. Have a great day. The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
