Five year targets

References to five year targets refers to those targets listed in the 2018 Asia Roadshow presentation (refer ASX Release #049/18 dated 8 October 2018) and are presented on the basis the sale of a 40% interest in the Otway Basin is completed. Annual production target range of 30 to 36 MMboe in FY23. Reserves replacement ratio targeted to average 100% for the five year period FY19 to FY23, where reserve replacement ratio calculated as 2P reserves additions divided by production. Returnon capital employed (ROCE) is defined as underlying net profit after tax (underlying NPAT) dividedby the average of opening total equity and closing total equity. Targeted five year cumulative free cash flow defined as cash flow from operating activities less cash flow from investing activities (including proceeds from the sale of a 40% interest in Victorian Otway Basin assets) at a US$74.25/bbl Brent oil price in FY19 and a US$70/bbl Brent oil price from FY20 and 0.77 AUD/USD exchange rate in FY19 and 0.75 AUD/USD exchange rate from FY20.

Assumptions

FY19 guidance is uncertain and subject to change. FY19 guidance has been estimated on the basis of the following assumptions: 1. a US$61.00/bbl Brent oil price in H2 FY19; 2. 0.72 AUD/USD exchange rate in H2 FY19; 3. various other economic and corporate assumptions; 4. assumptions regarding drilling results; and 5. expected future development, appraisal and exploration projects being delivered in accordance with their current expected project schedules. These future development, appraisal and exploration projects are subject to approvals such as government approvals, joint venture approvals and board approvals. Beach expresses no view as to whether all required approvals will be obtained in accordance with current project schedules.

FY19 guidance set out in this presentation has been prepared on the basis that the proposed sale of a 40% interest in its Victorian Otway Basin assets to O.G. Energy (announced to the ASX on 5thOctober 2018) completes at the end of Q3 FY19. Completion remains subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, some of which are outside of the control of Beach and as a result the timing of settlement may differ from the assumption used in this release.
