Overview

The UK North Sea's largest independent producer, transformed by the October 2024 all-share combination with Eni's UK upstream business, which roughly doubled scale to ~118 kboe/d and extended the reserve/resource base to ~1.1 bnboe (2P+2C). ~89% owned and controlled by Israel's Delek Group.

FY2025 delivered ~$2.95bn revenue and ~$1.94bn EBITDA but a small net loss (-$0.08bn) driven by the UK Energy Profits Levy (windfall tax) and impairments; the company still funds a very high ~10% dividend yield while carrying ~$1.36bn net debt and large North Sea decommissioning liabilities. Growth hinges on non-operated Rosebank (20%) first oil and progressing the operated Cambo development.

Its EV/EBITDA of 3.4x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 12.0% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $19.66/boe of proved reserves it is richer than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Ithaca Energy scores 60/100, strongest on valuation (71/100). Sub-scores: value 71, quality 49, growth 60, risk 40 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Ithaca Energy holds approximately 0.35 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 119 thousand boe/d (56% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 8.2 years. Break-even: ~$40 (Brent FCF breakeven) — Low-cost producing UK hubs (Captain EOR, Greater Stella, Elgin-Franklin, J-Area, Seagull) with opex broadly in the high-$20s/boe sustain free cash flow into the low-$40s Brent; corporate economics are more sensitive to the UK Energy Profits Levy than to oil price at these levels.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Ithaca Energy, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
