Barnwell Industries (NYSE American: BRN) reported financial results for Q1 ended December 31, 2024, showing revenue of $4,477,000 and a net loss of $1,917,000 ($0.19 per share), compared to revenue of $6,155,000 and a net loss of $664,000 ($0.07 per share) in the same period last year.
The company remains debt-free with $642,000 in working capital, including $1,957,000 in cash. Oil, gas, and natural gas liquids prices decreased by 2%, 40%, and 8% respectively, while production declined by 17%, 21%, and 17%. A new Canadian well contributed approximately 107 net barrels per day.
The increased net loss was partially due to a $613,000 non-cash impairment of US oil properties and a $351,000 foreign currency loss. The company plans to sell a drilling rig for $585,000 and is considering strategic alternatives for its Water Resources division, including potential sale or wind-down.
Barnwell Industries (NYSE American: BRN) has announced the adoption of a -duration shareholder rights plan to protect against 'creeping' control by the Sherwood Group, which currently owns approximately 30% of Barnwell's outstanding common stock. The plan was implemented after the Sherwood Group refused to extend the Cooperation and Support Agreement.
Under the Rights Plan, which expires in one year, shareholders will receive one right per common share as of February 7, 2025. These rights become exercisable if any entity acquires 20% or more of BRN's outstanding common stock. Existing shareholders with over 20% ownership (including the Sherwood Group) are grandfathered but cannot acquire additional shares exceeding 0.25% without triggering the plan.
The Special Committee, formed on November 7, 2024, recommended this action after failed attempts to engage with the Sherwood Group, expressing concerns about potential changes to the company's core oil & gas business if the Sherwood Group gains control.
