CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, estimated quantities and net present values of reserves, business strategy, plans and objectives of our management for future operations, covenant compliance, capital spending plans and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “target”, “goal”, “plan”, “budget”, “objective”, “could”, “should”, or similar expressions or variations on these expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct or that, even if correct, intervening circumstances will not occur to cause actual results to be different than expected. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, sustained or future declines in commodity prices; potential future impairments and reductions in proved reserve quantities and value; our operations are located in South America, and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity and other local conditions; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of our products; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of our products; our ability to raise capital; our ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions; our ability to execute business plans; unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for our operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; current global economic and credit market conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption differently than we currently predict, which could cause us to further modify our strategy and capital spending program; those factors set out in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our
2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (the "2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information included herein is given as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based.
GLOSSARY OF OIL AND GAS TERMS
In this document, the abbreviations set forth below have the following meanings:
bbl
barrel
BOE
barrels of oil equivalent
bopd
barrels of oil per day
BOEPD
barrels of oil equivalent per day
Mcf
thousand cubic feet
NAR
net after royalty
Sales volumes represent production NAR adjusted for inventory changes. Our oil and gas reserves are reported NAR. Our production is also reported NAR, except as otherwise specifically noted as "working interest production before royalties." Natural gas liquids ("NGLs") volumes are converted to BOE on a one-to-one basis with oil. Gas volumes are converted to BOE at the rate of 6 Mcf of gas per bbl of oil, based upon the approximate relative energy content of gas and oil. The rate is not necessarily indicative of the relationship between oil and gas prices. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Description of Business
Gran Tierra Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Gran Tierra”), is a publicly traded company focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production in Colombia and Ecuador.

Significant Accounting Policies
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim periods.
The note disclosure requirements of annual consolidated financial statements provide additional disclosures to that required for interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, included in the Company’s
2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company’s
2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K and are the same policies followed in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through to the date these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 842 Leases with a date of initial application on January 1, 2019 in accordance with the modified retrospective transition approach using the practical expedients available for land easements and short-term leases. The Company did not elect the "suite" of practical expedients or use the hindsight expedient in its adoption.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has applied judgment to determine the lease term for contracts which include renewal or termination options. The assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.
All leases identified relate to office leases.
The transition resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset presented in other capital assets of
$
3.8
million
at January 1, 2019, the recognition of lease liabilities of
$
4.2
million
and a
$
0.4
million
impact on retained earnings. When measuring the lease liabilities, the Company's incremental borrowing rate was used. At January 1, 2019 the rates applied ranged between
5.6
%
and
9.1
%
.

Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and exchangeable shares issued and outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is similarly calculated except that the common shares outstanding for the period is increased using the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock awards were vested at the end of the applicable period plus potentially issuable shares on conversion of the convertible notes. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities that are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

6.
Revenue
The Company's revenues are generated from oil sales at prices which reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or are defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for Vasconia or Castilla crude differentials, quality, and transportation discounts each month. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
,
100
%
(three and
six months ended June 30, 2018
-
100
%
) of the Company's revenue resulted from oil sales. During the three and
six months
10
ended June 30, 2019
, quality and transportation discounts were
13
%
and
15
%
, respectively, of the average ICE Brent price (three and
six months ended June 30, 2018
-
14
%
and
15
%
, respectively). During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
, the Company's production was sold primarily to
three
major customers in Colombia (three and
six months ended June 30, 2018
-
three
).
As at
June 30, 2019
, accounts receivable included
$
3.0
million
of accrued sales revenue related to
June
2019
production (
December 31, 2018
-
$
4.2
million
related to December 31, 2018 production).
7.
Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was
46
%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, compared to
58
%
in the comparative period of
2018
. Current income tax expense was lower in the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, compared with the corresponding period of
2018
, primarily as a result of lower Colombian income and higher tax depreciation in Colombia. The deferred income tax
expense
of
$
23.3
million
was lower in the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, compared to the corresponding period of
2018
primarily due to lower excess tax depreciation compared with accounting depreciation in Colombia, a reduction in the Colombian tax rate and a reduction to the valuation allowance in Colombia.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, the difference between the effective tax rate of
46
%
and the
33
%
Colombian tax rate was primarily due to foreign currency translation adjustments and an increase in the valuation allowance.
For the comparative period in
2018
, the
58
%
effective tax rate differed from the Colombian tax rate of
37
%
primarily due to the impact of foreign tax rates, stock based compensation, foreign currency translation adjustments and an increase in the valuation allowance.

Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (National Hydrocarbons Agency) ("ANH") and Gran Tierra are engaged in ongoing discussions regarding the interpretation of whether certain transportation and related costs are eligible to be deducted in the calculation of an additional royalty (the "HPR royalty"). Based on the Company's understanding of the ANH's position, the estimated compensation, which would be payable if the ANH’s interpretation is correct, could be up to
$
55.6
million
as at
June 30, 2019
(
December 31, 2018
-
$
56.3
million
). At this time
no
amount has been accrued in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as Gran Tierra does not consider it probable that a loss will be incurred.
In addition to the above, the Company has a number of other lawsuits and claims pending. Although the outcome of these other lawsuits and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes the resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Gran Tierra records costs associated with these lawsuits and claims as they are incurred or become probable and determinable.
Letters of credit and other credit support
At
June 30, 2019
, the Company had provided letters of credit and other credit support totaling
$
122.5
million
(
December 31, 2018
-
$
76.7
million
) as security relating to work commitment guarantees in Colombia and Ecuador contained in exploration contracts and other capital or operating requirements.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement
Financial Instruments
At
June 30, 2019
, the Company’s financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet consisted of: cash and cash equivalents; restricted cash and cash equivalents; accounts receivable; investment; accounts payable and accrued liabilities, derivatives, long-term debt, equity compensation award liability and other long-term liabilities.
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of investment, derivatives and PSU liability is remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The fair value of the short-term portion of the Company's investment in PetroTal Corp. ("PetroTal"), which was received on the sale of the Company's Peru business unit, was estimated using quoted prices at
June 30, 2019
, and the foreign exchange rate at that date. PetroTal is a publicly-traded energy company incorporated and domiciled in Canada engaged in exploration, appraisal and development of crude oil and natural gas in Peru, South America. PetroTal's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture under the trading symbol 'TAL' and on the London Stock Exchange under the trading symbol 'PTAL'. Gran Tierra directly and indirectly holds approximately
246
million
common shares representing approximately
37
%
of PetroTal's issued and outstanding common shares. Gran Tierra has the right to nominate two directors to the board of PetroTal. The fair value of the long-term portion of the investment restricted by escrow conditions was estimated using observable and unobservable inputs; factors that were evaluated included quoted market prices, precedent comparable transactions, risk free rate, measures of market risk volatility, estimates of the Company's and PetroTal’s cost of capital and quotes from third parties.
The fair value of commodity price and foreign currency derivatives is estimated based on various factors, including quoted market prices in active markets and quotes from third parties. The Company also performs an internal valuation to ensure the reasonableness of third party quotes. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed the possibility of whether the counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions.
The fair value of the PSU liability was estimated based on option pricing model using inputs such as quoted market prices in an active market, and PSU performance factor.
The fair value of investment, derivatives and equity compensation award liability (PSU and DSU) at
June 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, was as follows:

Investment gain for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
, was related to the fair value gain on the PetroTal shares Gran Tierra received in connection with the sale of its Peru business unit in December 2017. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
and
2018
, this investment gain was unrealized.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value include the Company's
6.25
%
Senior Notes due 2025 (the "
6.25
%
Senior Notes") and
7.75
%
Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes. At
June 30, 2019
, the carrying amounts of the
6.25
%
Senior Notes, the
7.75
%
Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes were
$
290.0
million
,
$
289.2
million
and
$
112.7
million
, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amount less unamortized debt issuance costs, and the fair values were
$
280.5
million
,
$
294.8
million
and
$
123.6
million
, respectively. The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents and the revolving credit facility approximated their carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The fair values of other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 and 3 inputs are based on significant other observable inputs and significant unobservable inputs, respectively, and have lower priorities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
At
June 30, 2019
, the fair value of the current portion of the investment and DSU liability was determined using Level 1 inputs, the fair value of derivatives and PSUs was determined using Level 2 inputs and the fair value of the long-term portion of the investment restricted by escrow conditions was determined using Level 3 inputs.
The table below presents the fair value of the long-term portion of the investment:

million
change in the total investment in PetroTal as at
June 30, 2019
.

The Company uses available market data and valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of debt. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including a credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period end market rate. The credit spread is the Company’s default or repayment risk. The credit spread (premium or discount) is determined by comparing the Company’s Senior Notes, Convertible Notes and revolving credit facility to new issuances (secured and unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for both public and private debt. The disclosure above regarding the fair value of the Convertible Notes was determined using Level 2 inputs based on the indicative pricing published by certain third-party services or trading levels of the Convertible Notes, which are not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on an inter-dealer automated quotation system. The disclosure in the paragraph above regarding the fair value of cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents, revolving credit facility and Senior Notes was based on Level 1 inputs.
The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include asset retirement obligations. The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligation discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The significant level 3 inputs used to calculate such liabilities include estimates of costs to be incurred, the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, inflation rates and estimated dates of abandonment. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value, while the asset retirement cost is amortized over the estimated productive life of the related assets.
Commodity Price Derivatives
The Company utilizes commodity price derivatives to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of its oil production, reduce commodity price risk and provide a base level of cash flow in order to assure it can execute at least a portion of its capital spending.
At
June 30, 2019
, the Company had outstanding commodity price derivative positions as follows:

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the "Financial Statements" as set out in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Part II, Items 8 and 7, respectively, of our
2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please see the cautionary language at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the identification of and risks relating to forward-looking statements, as well as Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our

Financial and Operational Highlights
Key Highlights for the
second
quarter of
2019
•
Net after royalties production ("NAR") was
29,193
BOEPD,
4%
higher
than the
second
quarter of
2018
. Production
increase
d largely due to production from development activities in the Acordionero Field, a
decrease
in royalties driven by lower oil prices and the acquisition of additional working interest ("WI") in Suroriente Block
•
The production increases were partially offset by the temporary suspension of Suroriente production due to community blockades from June17 through July 9, 2019, and, starting late May 2019, downtime from ESP failures in Acordionero and the temporary shut-in of two large producers in Acordionero with high gas oil ratio ("GOR"). The successful commissioning of water injection facilities in Acordionero in July 2019 and associated increase in water injection is
15
expected to reduce the GOR in the field and the planned transition to gas to power in August 2019 is expected to reduce ESP failures due to unreliable power. Both activities in Acordionero are expected to allow us to restore production in the coming months
•
Oil and natural gas sales volumes were
29,277
BOEPD,
5%
higher
than the
second
quarter of
2018
. The quarter's
increase
in oil and gas sales volumes was due to the reduction of inventory

•
Workover expenses per BOE were $
4.79
,
46%
higher compared to the
second
quarter of
2018
as a result of submersible pump failures during the

Quality and transportation discount per BOE was
$9.02
compared with
$10.53
in the
second
quarter of
2018
; this
$1.51
per BOE reduction resulted from renegotiation of several sales agreements which use Castilla differential and smaller fixed discount during the

Non-GAAP measures
Operating netback, EBITDA and funds flow from operations are non-GAAP measures which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Management views these measures as financial performance measures. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.
Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil and natural gas sales less operating, workover and transportation expenses. Management believes that operating netback is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors to analyze financial performance and provides an indication of the results generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from oil and natural gas sales to operating netback is provided in the table above.
EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net income adjusted for depletion, depreciation and accretion ("DD&A") expenses, interest expense and income tax expense. Management uses this supplemental measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income, and believes that this financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income to EBITDA is as follows:

Management uses this financial measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income or loss, and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results.

Oil and gas production NAR
for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
increase
d by
4%
and
8%
respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of
2018
. The
increase
in production was a result of successful drilling and workover campaign in the Acordionero Field and acquisition of additional WI in Suroriente Block during the first quarter of 2019. These increases were partially offset by the temporary suspension of Suroriente production due to community blockades from June 17 through July 9, 2019, and, starting late May 2019, downtime from ESP failures in Acordionero and the temporary shut-in of two large producers in Acordionero with high GOR. The successful commissioning of water injection facilities in Acordionero in July 2019 and associated increase in water injection is expected to reduce the GOR in the field and the planned transition to gas to power in August 2019 is expected to reduce ESP failures due to unreliable power. Both activities in Acordionero are expected to allow us to restore production in the coming months.
Royalties as a percentage of production for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
decrease
d compared with the corresponding periods of
2018
commensurate with the
decrease
in benchmark oil prices and the price sensitive royalty regime in Colombia.

We have options to sell our oil through multiple pipelines and trucking routes. Each transportation route has varying effects on realized sales prices and transportation expenses and we primarily focus on maximizing operating netback.

increase
d
26%
and
41%
to
$33.7

, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of
2018
. On a per BOE basis, operating expenses
increase
d by
$2.14
and
$2.66
, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of
2018
, primarily as a result of higher power generation, field operations maintenance and equipment rental costs. The Acordionero facilities expansion was fully commissioned at the beginning of the third quarter of 2019 and the gas-to-power will be commissioned in mid-August 2019. These projects will allow expanded water injection and delivery of enhanced power reliability by the end of third quarter, which are expected to reduce operating costs and enhance ultimate recovery of oil and gas in the Acordionero field. With the commissioning of the permanent facilities and gas-to-power projects, the Company expects to reduce operating costs by terminating contracts related to rental facilities in the field and generating power through natural gas produced in the field instead of purchased diesel.
Operating expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
decrease
d by
3%
compared with the prior quarter. On a per BOE basis, operating expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 2019
increase
d by
4%
, or

per BOE, respectively, during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019
, compared to
$3.29
and
$2.57
in the corresponding periods of
2018
due to submersible pump failures during the second quarter of
2019
as a result of unstable power. Workover expenses
increase
d by
$2.59
per BOE compared to the prior quarter as a result of higher frequency of pump failures during the second quarter of
2019

Current income tax expense was
lower
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, compared with the corresponding period of
2018
primarily as a result of lower Colombian taxable income and higher tax depreciation in Colombia. The deferred income tax
expense
of
$23.3 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, was lower compared with the corresponding period of
2018
primarily due to lower excess tax depreciation compared with accounting depreciation in Colombia, a reduction in the Colombian tax rate and a reduction to the valuation allowance in Colombia.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, the difference between the effective tax rate of
46%
and the
33%
Colombian tax rate was primarily due to foreign currency translation adjustments and an increase in the valuation allowance.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, the difference between the effective tax rate of
58%
and the
37%
Colombian tax rate was primarily due to the impact of foreign tax rates, stock based compensation, foreign currency translation adjustments and an increase in the valuation allowance.

We believe that our capital resources, including cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available capacity on our credit facility, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our strategic objectives and planned capital program for
2019
, given current oil price trends and production levels. In accordance with our investment policy, available cash balances are held in our primary cash management banks or may be invested in U.S. or Canadian government-backed federal, provincial or state securities or other money market instruments with high credit ratings and short-term liquidity. We believe that our current financial position provides us the flexibility to respond to both internal growth opportunities and those available through acquisitions.
26
At
June 30, 2019
, we had an undrawn revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders with a borrowing base of
$300 million
. Availability under the revolving credit facility is determined by the reserves-based borrowing base determined by the lenders. The next re-determination of the borrowing base is due to occur no later than
November 2019
.
At
June 30, 2019
, we had
$115 million
aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021,
$300 million
aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2025, and
$300 million
aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2027 outstanding.
On July 17, 2019, pursuant to a previously announced offer to purchase for cash all outstanding Convertible Notes, the Company purchased and canceled
$114,997,000
aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes at a purchase price of
$1,075
in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes plus
$1.6 million
of accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on such Convertible Notes up to, but not excluding the date of purchase. After giving effect to the purchase and cancellation of the Convertible Notes,
3,000
aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes remain outstanding.
Under the terms of our credit facility and Senior Notes, we are required to maintain compliance with certain financial and operating covenants which include: limitations on our ratio of debt to net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expenses and all non-cash charges minus all non-cash income ("EBITDAX") to a maximum of 4.0 to 1.0 (under the credit facility) and 3.5 to 1.0 (under the Senior Notes); the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 2.5 to 1.0 (definitions of debt, EBITDAX and other relevant terms are per the credit agreement or the indenture governing the Senior Notes and may differ between these agreements). As at
June 30, 2019
, we were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants in these agreements. Under the terms of the credit facility and Senior Notes, we are also limited in our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
At
June 30, 2019
, net debt to EBITDA was
1.4
times on a trailing twelve month basis and
1.2

One of the primary sources of variability in our cash flows from operating activities is the fluctuation in oil prices, the impact of which we partially mitigate by entering into commodity derivatives. Sales volume changes and costs related to operations and debt service also impact cash flow. Our cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes, the impact of which we partially mitigate by entering into foreign currency derivatives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As at
June 30, 2019
, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations
On
May 20, 2019
, we issued
$300 million
aggregate principal amount of the
7.75%
Senior Notes. Refer to Note 4 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2019
, we re-paid a balance of
$163 million
outstanding under our revolving credit facility, which was undrawn as at
June 30, 2019
.
Subsequent to
June 30, 2019
, we purchased and canceled
$114,997,000
aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes at a purchase price of
$1,075
in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes plus
$1.6 million
of accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on such Convertible Notes up to, but not excluding the date of purchase
Except for noted above, as at
June 30, 2019
, there were no other material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business from those as at
December 31, 2018
.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Item 7 of our
2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K, and have not changed materially since the filing of that document, other than as follows:
Leases
We adopted Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 842 Leases with a date of initial application on January 1, 2019 in accordance with the modified retrospective transition approach using the practical expedients available for land easements and short-term leases. We did not elect the "suite" of practical expedients or use the hindsight expedient in its adoption.
The transition resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset presented in other capital assets of
$3.8 million
, the recognition of lease liabilities in other long-term liabilities of
$4.2 million
and a
$0.4 million
impact on retained earnings. When measuring the lease liabilities, the Company's incremental borrowing rate was used. At January 1, 2019 the average rates applied were between
5.6%
and
9.1%
.
At inception of a contract, we assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of a contract that contains a lease component, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. We recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our incremental borrowing rate. Generally, we use the Company's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Commodity price risk
Our principal market risk relates to oil prices. Oil prices are volatile and unpredictable and influenced by concerns over world supply and demand imbalance and many other market factors outside of our control. Most of our revenues are from oil sales at prices which reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or are defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for quality each month.
29
We have entered into commodity price derivative contracts to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of our oil production, reduce commodity price risk and provide a base level of cash flow in order to assure we can execute at least a portion of our capital spending.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is a factor for our company but is ameliorated to a certain degree by the nature of expenditures and revenues in the countries where we operate. Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars and 100% of our revenues are related to the U.S. dollar price of Brent or WTI oil. We receive 100% of our revenues in U.S. dollars and the majority of our capital expenditures is in U.S. dollars or is based on U.S. dollar prices. The majority of income and value added taxes and G&A expenses in Colombia are in local currency. Certain G&A expenses incurred at our head office in Canada are denominated in Canadian dollars. While we operate in South America exclusively, the majority of our acquisition expenditures have been valued and paid in U.S. dollars.
We have entered into foreign currency derivative contracts to manage the variability in cash flows associated with our forecasted Colombian peso denominated costs.
Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses result primarily from the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar to the Colombian peso due to our current and deferred tax liabilities, which are monetary liabilities, denominated in the local currency of the Colombian foreign operations. As a result, a foreign exchange gain or loss must be calculated on conversion to the U.S. dollar functional currency.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our revolving credit facility, which bears floating rates of interest. At
June 30, 2019
, our outstanding balance under revolving credit facility was
nil
(
December 31, 2018
-
nil
).
Further Information
See Note 9 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for further information regarding our derivative contracts, including the notional amounts and call and put prices by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Expected cash flows from the derivatives equaled the fair value of the contract. The information is presented in U.S. dollars because that is our reporting currency. We do not hold any of these derivative contracts for trading purposes.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by Gran Tierra in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule l3a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Gran Tierra's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2019
.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
June 30, 2019

2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have recently been awarded exploration rights on blocks in Ecuador.
We have recently been awarded exploration rights on blocks in Ecuador. We have not previously operated in Ecuador, and it is difficult to predict the results and to project the costs of implementing an exploratory drilling program in Ecuador due to the inherent uncertainties of drilling and the fact that exploration and production operations there are subject to legal, social, political and economic uncertainties that may be different from what we have experienced in Colombia. Ecuador has experienced and may in the future experience political and economic instability. This instability could result in new governments or the adoption of new policies, laws or regulations that might assume a substantially more hostile attitude toward foreign investment, including but not limited to: the imposition of additional taxes; nationalization; changes in energy or environmental policies or the personnel administering them; and changes in oil and natural gas pricing policies. In an extreme case, such a change could result in termination of contract rights and expropriation of foreign-owned assets or renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts. Any changes in the oil and gas or investment regulations and policies or a shift in political attitudes in Ecuador are beyond our control and may significantly hamper our ability to expand our operations or operate our business in this country at a profit. Wells that are drilled may not achieve the results expected.

On March 11, 2019, we announced that we intended to implement a share repurchase program (the “2019 Program”) through the facilities of the TSX and eligible alternative trading platforms in Canada. We received regulatory approval from the TSX to commence the 2019 Program on March 13, 2019. We are able to purchase at prevailing market prices up to
19,353,951
shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2019.
31
The 2019 Program will expire on
March 12, 2020
, or earlier if the 5.00% share maximum is reached. The 2019 Program could be terminated by us at any time, subject to compliance with regulatory requirements. As such, there can be no assurance regarding the total number of shares that may be repurchased under the 2019 Program. Of the shares repurchased,
4,338,400
shares have not been cancelled by the Company and are designated as treasury stock as at
June 30, 2019
.
