Performance Plus Value Back to Shareholders

• Invested $53 million in the share buyback program initiated in December 2018, buying 3,300,000 shares (or 5% of outstanding shares) while executing self-funded growth work programs

James F. Park, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “Thanks to the GeoPark team for continuing to execute and deliver. Our quarterly metrics continue to improve - adding to an impressive first half of the year that puts us on target for another full year of growth and to extend our unique 16-year performance track record of finding and producing oil and gas. Our underlying economics also set us apart. We are self-funded from our own cash flow generation, our low operating costs allow us to weather any oil price volatility, and the low capital investment required to maintain and grow our production beats most of our Latin American and North American peers. Our excess cash flow also enables us to provide more value directly to our shareholders by investing in and buying back our own shares. Importantly, we continue to build out our rich project inventory with strategic high-value, low-cost acquisitions in targeted core hydrocarbon basins, giving us plenty of running room - in the short, medium and long-term. In recognition of our capabilities, we were honored to be chosen by the Colombian state oil company as its operating partner in Colombia’s principal basin in our successful joint bid round participation.”

		a)		Includes government royalties paid in kind in Colombia for approximately 1,196, 1,295 and 898 bopd in 2Q2019, 1Q2019 and 2Q2018 respectively. No royalties were paid in kind in Chile, Brazil or Argentina.
		b)		Production and operating costs include operating costs, royalties paid in cash and share based payments.
		c)		Price adjustment that corresponds to net cash flows generated by the assets acquired since the execution of the asset purchase agreement, on December 18, 2017, until the date of closing, on March 27, 2018.

Production: Oil and gas production grew by 9% to 39,201 boepd in 2Q2019 due to increased production in Colombia and Chile, partially offset by lower production in Brazil and Argentina. Oil represented 87% of total reported production compared to 84% in 2Q2018.

In June 2019, GeoPark completed the divestiture of the La Cuerva and Yamu blocks, allowing the Company to reallocate resources to its core Llanos 34 block and to the recently awarded exploration acreage in the Llanos basin. The La Cuerva and Yamu blocks produced approximately 640 boepd during 2Q2019 that were included as part of GeoPark’s consolidated oil and gas production.

For further details, please refer to the 2Q2019 Operational Update published on July 15, 2019.

Reference and Realized Oil Prices: Brent oil prices averaged $68.4 per bbl in 2Q2019, 9% less than in 2Q2018. The realized oil price, in contrast, was $55.6 per bbl, just 1% lower than in 2Q2018. This improvement reflected both a lower Vasconia discount, but more importantly, significant improvements in commercial and transportation discounts beginning in January 2019. Please also refer to selling expenses section below.

The tables below provide a breakdown of Brent oil and net realized oil prices in Colombia, Chile and Argentina in 2Q2019 and 2Q2018:

		2Q2019 - Realized Oil Prices ($ per bbl)	Colombia	Chile	Argentina

Revenue: Consolidated revenues increased by 6% to $169.5 million in 2Q2019 versus $159.3 million in 2Q2018. Higher deliveries and lower discounts led to increased revenues.

Sales of crude oil: Consolidated oil revenues increased by 9% to $158.8 million in 2Q2019, driven by a 12% increase in oil deliveries, partially offset by lower realized oil prices. Oil revenues were 94% of total revenues compared to 91% in 2Q2018.

• Colombia: In 2Q2019, oil revenues increased by 14% to $147.2 million following higher oil deliveries and lower realized oil prices. Oil deliveries increased by 16% to 30,381 bopd. Realized prices decreased by less than 1% to $55.6 despite 9% lower Brent oil prices, resulting from a lower Vasconia differential and improved commercial and transportation discounts. Colombian earn-out payments increased to $6.5 million in 2Q2019, compared to $5.2 million in 2Q2018, in line with higher oil revenues.

• Chile: In 2Q2019, oil revenues decreased by 49% to $2.5 million, due to lower volumes sold and lower realized oil prices. Oil deliveries decreased by 45% to 454 bopd due to the natural decline of the fields whereas realized oil prices decreased by 7% to $60.1 per bbl, in line with lower Brent prices.
• Argentina: In 2Q2019, oil revenues decreased by 20% to $8.8 million, due to lower volumes sold and lower realized oil prices. Oil deliveries decreased by 12% to 1,605 bopd due to the natural decline of the fields whereas realized oil prices declined by 9% to $60.5 per bbl, in line with lower Brent prices.

Sales of gas: Consolidated gas revenues decreased by 21% to $10.7 million in 2Q2019 compared to $13.7 million in 2Q2018. Gas revenues declined due to a 12% decrease in gas prices and 11% lower gas deliveries.

• Chile: In 2Q2019, gas revenues increased by 17% to $5.2 million reflecting higher gas deliveries, partially offset by lower gas prices. The Jauke gas field contributed to increased gas deliveries of 39% to 12,747 mcfpd (2,124 boepd). Gas prices were 16% lower, or $4.4 per mcf ($26.6 per boe) in 2Q2019 due to lower methanol prices.
• Brazil: In 2Q2019, gas revenues decreased by 44% to $4.0 million, due to both lower deliveries and gas prices. Planned maintenance works in the Manati field (GeoPark non-operated, 10% WI) and higher hydroelectric power availability reduced gas deliveries by 42% to 9,125 mcfpd (1,521 boepd). Gas prices decreased by 3% to $4.8 per mcf ($28.5 per boe), due to the impact of the local currency devaluation of 8%, which was partially offset by the annual price inflation adjustment of approximately 6%, effective January 2019.
• Argentina: In 2Q2019, gas revenues decreased by 38% to $1.1 million from $1.8 million, resulting from both lower deliveries and gas prices. Deliveries decreased by 5% to 3,673 mcfpd (612 boepd) while gas prices fell by 35% to $3.4 per mcf ($20.4 per boe) due to lower gas prices in the local market.

Commodity Risk Management Contracts: Consolidated commodity risk management contracts contributed a $0.8 million gain in 2Q2019 compared to an $11.4 million loss in 2Q2018. Commodity risk management contracts have two different components, a realized and an unrealized portion.

The realized gain of $0.7 million in 2Q2019 compared to a $13.3 million loss in 2Q2018 reflected Brent oil prices and commodity risk management contracts effective during the respective periods.

The unrealized gains were $0.1 million in 2Q2019 and $2.0 million in 2Q2018. Unrealized gains during 2Q2019 resulted from a slight shift in the forward Brent oil price curve compared to March 2019.

The Company uses risk management contracts to minimize the impact of oil price fluctuations on its work program. (Refer to the “Commodity Risk Oil Management Contracts” section below for details of the contracts in place.)

Production and Operating Costs⁴: Consolidated operating costs per boe decreased by 5% to $8.1 per boe from $8.5 per boe. Overall, consolidated production and operating costs increased by 3% to $46.0 million in 2Q2019 compared to $44.8 million in 2Q2018, as a result of a 9% increase in deliveries, but benefited from lower operating costs per boe.

The table below provides a breakdown of production and operating costs in 2Q2019 and 2Q2018:

				(In millions of $)	2Q2019	2Q2018
				Operating costs	26.5	26.1
				Royalties	19.5	18.5
				Shared based payments	0.0	0.2
				Production and operating costs	46.0	44.8

Consolidated operating costs increased by 1% or $0.4 million to $26.5 million in 2Q2019 compared to $26.1 million in 2Q2018, despite a 9% increase in deliveries. Consolidated operating costs per boe decreased by 5% to $8.1 in 2Q2019 compared to $8.5 in 2Q2018.

The breakdown of operating costs is as follows:

• Colombia: Operating costs per boe decreased by 5% to $5.4 in 2Q2019 compared to $5.7 in 2Q2018 mainly due to the impact of fixed costs over 16% higher deliveries. Total operating costs increased by 8% to $14.7 million.

• Chile: Operating costs per boe decreased by 12% to $20.0 in 2Q2019 compared to $22.7 in 2Q2018, mainly due to the impact of fixed costs over 9% higher deliveries and lower well intervention activities. Total operating costs decreased by 4% to $4.7 million in 2Q2019 from $4.9 million in 2Q2018.
• Brazil: Operating costs per boe decreased by 18% to $5.3 in 2Q2019 compared to $6.5 in 2Q2018, mainly due to the adoption of IFRS 16 for approximately $0.5 million (or $3.7 per boe). IFRS 16 changes the treatment and valuation of operating leases, that are now recorded in depreciation charges, which were originally treated as operating costs. Total operating costs decreased by 53% to $0.7 million in 2Q2019 from $1.6 million in 2Q2018.
• Argentina: Operating costs per boe increased to $31.2 in 2Q2019 compared to $26.9 in 2Q2018, mainly due to the impact of fixed costs over 10% lower deliveries. Total operating costs increased by 4% to $6.3 million in 2Q2019 from $6.0 million in 2Q2018.

Consolidated royalties increased by $1.0 million to $19.5 million in 2Q2019 compared to $18.5 million in 2Q2018, due to higher revenues recorded in 2Q2019. Consolidated royalties were 12% of revenue in 2Q2019 and 2Q2018.

Selling Expenses: Consolidated selling expenses increased by $4.1 million to $5.3 million in 2Q2019 (of which $4.9 million, or $1.8 per bbl, correspond to Colombia), compared to $1.2 million in 2Q2018.

The $1.7 per bbl increase in selling expenses in Colombia (reflecting the difference between $1.8 per bbl in 2Q2019 vs $0.1 per bbl in 2Q2018) reflects the difference in accounting for different points of sale. Sales at the wellhead are deducted from revenues whereas transportation costs for sales to other delivery points are accounted for as selling expenses.

Commercial and transportation discounts in Colombia improved by $3.5 per bbl during 2Q2019, positively impacting realized oil prices. This was partially offset by $1.7 per bbl of higher selling expenses, thus improving net margins by approximately $2 per bbl.

Administrative Expenses⁵: Consolidated G&A costs per boe remained slightly flat at $4.0 in 2Q2019 and 2Q2018. Total consolidated G&A increased by 7% to $13.3 million in 2Q2019 compared to $12.5 million in 2Q2018 due to higher costs related to new business efforts for the recently awarded blocks in Colombia and Ecuador.

Geological & Geophysical Expenses⁶: Consolidated G&G costs per boe remained flat at $1.3 in 2Q2019 and 2Q2018. Total consolidated G&G expenses increased by 11% to $4.3 million in 2Q2019 compared to $3.9 million in 2Q2018 due to an increased scale of operations and continuing investments to expand GeoPark’s technical capabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁷ increased by 18% to $98.7 million. The Adjusted EBITDA was $29.4 per boe in 2Q2019, compared to $83.3 million, or $27.0 per boe, in 2Q2018.

By country, 2Q2019 Adjusted EBITDA was:

• Colombia: Adjusted EBITDA of $100.1 million
• Chile: Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million
• Brazil: Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million
• Argentina: Adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million
• Corporate and Peru: Adjusted EBITDA of negative $6.9 million

The table below shows production, volumes sold and the breakdown of the most significant components of Adjusted EBITDA for 2Q2019 and 2Q2018, on a per country and per boe basis:

		a) RIK (Royalties in kind). Includes royalties paid in kind in Colombia for approximately 1,196 and 898 bopd in 2Q2019 and 2Q2018 respectively. No royalties were paid in kind in Chile, Brazil or Argentina.
		b) Conversion rate of $mcf/$boe=1/6.
		c) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as if IFRS 16 has not been adopted, so the figures included in the table above for 2Q2019 figures are comparable to those of prior periods. See the “Adoption of IFRS 16” and “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Profit (Loss) Before Income Tax” sections included in this press release.

Depreciation⁸: Consolidated depreciation charges increased slightly by 2% to $24.8 million in 2Q2019, compared to $24.3 million in 2Q2018. The 9% increase in volumes delivered explained the change in addition to the adoption of IFRS 16, partially offset by lower depreciation costs per boe.

Write-off of Unsuccessful Exploration Efforts: The consolidated write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts was $0.6 million in 2Q2019 compared to $9.2 million in 2Q2018. Comparative figures are related to non-commercial oil accumulations found in Yaguasito exploration prospect in the Tiple block in Colombia.

Other Income (Expenses): Other operating income gained $0.7 million in 2Q2019, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in 2Q2018.

CONSOLIDATED NON-OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

Financial Expenses: Net financial expenses increased slightly to $9.1 million in 2Q2019, compared to $8.7 million in 2Q2018.

Foreign Exchange: Net foreign exchange charges were $2.4 million in 2Q2019 compared to $13.3 million in 2Q2018. The comparative period was affected by the devaluation of the Brazilian real and its impact on US dollar-denominated intercompany debt, then cancelled in 4Q2018.

Income Tax: Income tax expenses were $33.6 million in 2Q2019 compared to $24.4 million in 2Q2018, in line with higher taxable income in 2Q2019.

Profit: Profit of $31.5 million in 2Q2019 was 5.7x or $26.0 million higher than the $5.5 million recorded in 2Q2018, and reflected higher operating profits, adjusted by higher income taxes.

BALANCE SHEET

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $68.9 million as of June 30, 2019 compared to $127.7 million as of December 31, 2018. Cash generated from operating activities equaled $93.1 million and was partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $66.1 million and in financing activities of $85.8 million.

Cash generated from operating activities was $93.1 million after income tax payments of $88.6 million. The tax payment included $58.1 million related to tax gains of fiscal year 2018 and the remaining $30.5 million are tax prepayments which will be deducted against tax gains of fiscal year 2019 (to be paid in 2020). The Company does not expect to pay additional cash income taxes during 2H2019. As a reminder, the Company pays its income tax obligations in the first and second quarters of each year in Colombia.

Cash used in financing activities of $85.8 million included $48.4 million from the buyback program, interest payments of $14.6 million on the $425 million Notes (“2024 Notes”), $15.0 million related to the acquisition of the LGI’s non-controlling interest in Colombia and Chile and $4.9 million related to principal payments on short-term borrowings.

Financial Debt: Total financial debt, net of issuance cost, was $442.6 million, including the 2024 Notes and other bank loans totaling $15.2 million. Short-term financial debt was $18.0 million as of June 30, 2019.

ADOPTION OF IFRS 16

(UNAUDITED)

GeoPark adopted IFRS 16 accounting rules in January 2019, but did not restate comparative figures for 2018, as permitted by the accounting standard. IFRS 16 requires the recognition of certain charges related to operating leases as depreciation charges, that in comparative periods were recorded in production and operating costs, administrative and geophysical expenses. Please refer to Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further details.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as if IFRS 16 have not been adopted, making the figures included in the table on page 6, “Adjusted EBITDA per boe” comparable to those of prior periods.

The following adjustments have been made to production and operating costs, administrative and geological and geophysical expenses to calculate Adjusted EBITDA:

(In millions of $)	2Q2019	1H2019
Gain (Loss)
Production and operating costs	-0.8	-1.2
Administrative expenses	-0.6	-1.4
Geological and geophysical expenses	-0.1	-0.2

NOTICE

Additional information about GeoPark can be found in the “Investor Support” section on the website at www.geo-park.com.

Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this press release have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this press release may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press release may not sum due to rounding.

This press release contains certain oil and gas metrics, including information per share, Operating Netback, reserve life index, and others, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward- looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.

Forward-looking statements that appear in a number of places in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, regarding various matters, including expected 2019 or future production growth and operating and financial performance, Operating Netback per boe and capital expenditures plan. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to the management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the Company which could affect whether these forward-looking statements are realized, see filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Oil and gas production figures included in this release are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses. Annual production per day is obtained by dividing total production for 365 days.

Information about oil and gas reserves: The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proven, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. GeoPark uses certain terms in this press release, such as "PRMS Reserves" that the SEC's guidelines do not permit GeoPark from including in filings with the SEC. As a result, the information in the Company’s SEC filings with respect to reserves will differ significantly from the information in this press release.

NPV10 for PRMS 1P, 2P and 3P reserves is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow for SEC proved reserves.

The reserve estimates provided in this release are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may eventually prove to be greater than, or less than, the estimates provided herein. Statements relating to reserves are by their nature forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Measures: The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and operating netback per boe, which are each non-GAAP measures, are useful because it allows the Company to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, return on capital employed and operating netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the period before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options stock awards, unrealized results on commodity risk management contracts and other non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of profit or cash flow as determined by IFRS. The Company excludes the items listed above from profit for the period in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

Free cash flow: Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing activities excluding Argentina acquisition and cash advances from disposal of long-term assets.

Operating Netback per boe: Operating netback per boe should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Operating Netback per boe are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Operating Netback per boe. The Company’s computation of Operating Netback per boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of Operating Netback per boe to the IFRS financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

Net Debt: Net debt is defined as current and non-current Borrowings less Cash and Cash equivalents.
