Mark Routh, Prospex's CEO, commented:
"I am pleased to share the unaudited group financial indicators for the first three quarters of 2025 which show the significant steps made in re-investing production income during the year. In the year-to-date ended 30 September 2025, the Company raised a net £1.118m via equity and utilised a further £2.645m of the Group's internal funds to invest a total of £3.763m in growing the Group's assets. Part of this was the acquisition of shares of Tarba Energía in April 2025 resulting in the Company owning 100% of the El Romeral power plant, the three El Romeral Production Concessions and 100% of the Tesorillo & Ruedalabola exploration licences with their related gas reserves and resources. The process to approve the drilling of five further wells on the El Romeral concessions is progressing with the full EIA documentation now with the central Ministry in Madrid for final approvals.
"Substantial further investments have been made in HEYCO Energy Iberia, the Company which owns and operates the Viura producing gas field in northern Spain, in which Prospex is a 7.5% shareholder.
"The Selva Malvezzi production concession in northern Italy continues its steady production and cash generation with a new gas sales contract agreed with Hera Trading in Q3-2025 and permits to drill four further wells on the concession advancing at pace. The 3D-seismic survey acquisition which is currently underway will optimise the targets for those wells.
"With the planned expansion into Poland where the licence applications are underway, it is satisfying to be delivering on the strategy of growing the Company's portfolio of gas reserves to deliver natural gas into the European energy markets where demand is strong and continues to increase.
"It continues to be the Company's intention to finance Capex requirements over the next 2-3 years through a combination of farm-downs, debt-finance, internal resources and, as appropriate, equity funding. All financing options are being advanced to support the Company's growth and deliver shareholder value.
"Prospex remains one of the few UK-listed companies offering investors direct exposure to onshore European gas markets, estimated to be valued at circ. US$130 billion in 2024, and expected to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% from the estimated US$130 billion in 2025 to 2033*."
