Commenting on the results, Wale Tinubu, Group Chief Executive, Oando PLC said:
“Our Audited Full Year 2021 Financial Statements are broadly in line with our earlier published Unaudited results in which we announced an increase in profitability driven by a strong revenue performance - a consequence of an 82% increase in average realized oil sale price – coupled with the refund of long-standing receivable.
Although a surge in militancy and sabotage activities across the Niger Delta negatively affected our operations during the reporting period, we have since seen progress in security initiatives and are consistently seeking innovative solutions to stabilize our oil & gas production.
Moving forward, we remain committed to driving growth within our upstream and trading businesses, whilst simultaneously diversifying our portfolio by investing in non-fossil and climate friendly energy solutions through Oando Clean Energy Limited.
We will continue to update our esteemed shareholders as progressive developments are made in the coming year"

FINANCE REVIEW
Revenue
Revenue for the period was positively impacted by high product prices, with realized average crude oil price increasing by 82% ($62.14 per barrel compared to $34.21 per barrel in 2020), natural gas by 38% ($9.96/boe compared to $7.20/boe in 2020), and NGL by 31% ($7.16/boe compared to $5.48/boe in 2020). These, in addition to an 8% increase in traded crude oil volumes (17,445,256 bbls compared to 16,081,633 bbls in 2020), and a 39% increase in traded refined products (962,370 MT compared to 694,653 MT in 2020) contributed to an overall increase in revenue of 68% (N803.5 billion compared to N477.1 billion in the same period in 2020). Revenue growth was negatively impacted by a 40% decline in production (26,775 boepd compared to 44,550 boepd in 2020) due to increased sabotage activities.
Operating Profit
The Operating Profit of N78.8 billion in 2021 was driven by higher revenue as well as a reversal of asset impairments totalling N104.9 billion largely due to the following:
- Reversal of Impairment of Non-Current Receivables: Following the recovery of a longstanding receivable, impaired in prior years due to uncertainty around its collectability, the impairment provision has now been reversed to the tune of N30.4 billion.
- Reversal of Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables: This relates to reversal of impairment provisions to the tune of N73.9 billion, made in prior years on a receivable due from a third-party following reduction in said receivables.
Profit-After-Tax
The Profit-After-Tax for FYE 2021 of N32.9 billion was driven primarily by a higher operating profit, as well as a 374% increase in Finance Income to N44.1 billion (compared to N9.3 billion in 2020).
Total Borrowings
Total Borrowings increased by 10% to N460.8 billion (compared to N419.6 billion in FYE 2020).
