Its shares were quoted at AUD 0.008, up 7.14%, on 4 November 2026. The September quarter involved higher oil output, softer gas production and work on potential divestment and capital arrangements.

The Quarterly Report released on 30 October 2026 showed oil production rising 8% from the June quarter to 56,388 barrels, while working-interest Revenue fell to approximately USD 5.5 million. It also recorded USD 25.6 million in cash, no Debt and a proposed return of capital subject to the relevant approvals.

Projects and Operating Milestones

Oil production rose to 56,388 barrels from 52,261 barrels in the June quarter, an 8% quarter-on-quarter increase. Gas production declined to 240,774 Mcf from 280,136 Mcf, down 14%, while Natural Gas liquid production decreased to 8,549 barrels from 10,358 barrels. Total production was 105,066 barrels of oil equivalent, compared with 109,308 barrels of oil equivalent in the prior quarter. Average realised oil pricing declined to USD 82.96 a barrel from USD 95.31. These differing Volume and pricing movements were reflected in the quarterly financial measures.

Reported Financial and Corporate Figures

the company recorded approximately USD 5.5 million in working-interest revenue, versus USD 6.0 million for the preceding quarter. Cash received from customers was USD 4.1 million, reflecting collections principally for production from June through August. Net operating cash inflow reached USD 2.7 million compared with USD 2.2 million in June, partly reflecting a lower operating-cost period after an annual insurance payment in the preceding quarter. At the end of September, Otto’s cash balance stood at USD 25.6 million with no debt. The report separately identified contract pricing agreed for November and December oil deliveries.

Technical Programme and Outstanding Work

In September Otto concluded a formal process to market its South Marsh Island 71 and Green Canyon 21 interests together because the process did not result in an actionable combined transaction. It subsequently focused on possible divestment of South Marsh Island 71. In parallel, the board proposed a 100-for-1 share consolidation and an approximate AUD 20 million capital return, corresponding to AUD 0.417 per share after consolidation, subject to required steps and approvals. Proposals are not completed corporate actions until their conditions have been satisfied.

The revenue table distinguished oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Working-interest oil revenue was approximately USD 4.7 million, gas revenue about USD 0.6 million and natural gas liquids about USD 0.2 million for the September quarter. These amounts totalled approximately USD 5.5 million at the disclosed level of rounding. Otto also recorded production interests in South Marsh 71, Lightning, Green Canyon 21, Mosquito Bay West and Oyster Bayou South. Its September corporate program addressed possible changes to the ownership of some interests rather than describing a completed asset sale. The financial and production measures should be read on the bases defined in the quarterly report.
