Friday Sep 24rd - BTE mid-day update

Topics: 1. Current Day FCF, 2. Yearly FCF, 3. WTI Trend, 4. Current Quarter Contracts, 5. Shareholder Strategic Focus.

Fri Sep 24th - BTE looking to bank another $1.5M+ FCF today

With fully factored hedges Free Cash Flow @ $73.97 & current pricing = $540+ million/year which is above the management plan. (EXCLUDING CLEARWATER)

WTI is final for Q3. We are now on the Q4 / November Contracts. Not including improved hedges or Clearwater see historical trend below

BTE Free Cash Flow Q1 = $70M avg WTI $52.09
BTE Free Cash Flow Q2 = $112M avg WTI $62.71
BTE Free Cash Flow Q3 = $TBD avg WTI $70.57
BTE Free Cash Flow Q4 = $TBD avg WTI $69.23 (so far)
Negative talk on $52 WTI is nonsense. At this rate they still brought in $70 Million for the quarter and this excludes Clearwater and improved hedges

Q4 contracts 38.5% complete. It's nice to see WTI hovering over $70.
Shareholder Strategic Focus
1. To BTE management. Keep doing what you're doing!
  1. Focus on FCF ($540+ Million per year at these prices)
  2. Pay down debt (down to $1.4b this year wow!) Clear off the 2024 note on June 1st 2022 as soon as the agreement allows.
  3. Buyback cheap shares complete a SIB not a NCIB (the cheaper the better)
  4. Issue a dividend
  5. If Clearwater development can accelerate FCF, debt payment, share buybacks and dividends do it.
  6. Preferably in that order and keep within 80-85k bpd
  7. Ignore the share price focus on the enterprise strategy, operations, and efficiency.

With this you will find 100% support
