Organization, Business Operations, and Going Concern | Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations, and Going Concern Organization and General Sable Offshore Corp. (“Sable,” the “Company” or “we”) (formerly known as Flame Acquisition Corp. or “Flame”) is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Flame was initially formed as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Legacy Sable”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2024, (i) Holdco merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “Holdco Merger”) and (ii) Legacy Sable merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “SOC Merger” and, together with the Holdco Merger, the “Mergers” and, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”). On November 1, 2022, SOC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (as amended, the “Sable-EM Purchase Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (“MPPC,” and together with Exxon, “EM”) pursuant to which SOC agreed to acquire from EM certain assets constituting the Santa Ynez field in Federal waters offshore California (“SYU”) and associated onshore processing and pipeline assets (such “Assets,” as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, collectively the “SYU Assets”). On February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the Merger and related transactions (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement, following which Flame was renamed “Sable Offshore Corp.”. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement were also consummated on February 14, 2024 (“Sable-EM Closing Date”), immediately after the Business Combination, as a result of which Sable purchased the SYU Assets, effective as of January 1, 2022. On February 15, 2024, Sable’s shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on NYSE under the symbols, “SOC” and “SOC.WS,” respectively (refer to Note 3 — Acquisition for additional details). On the Closing Date, the Company issued 44,024,910 shares of Common Stock of the Company, at a price of $10.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $440.2 million (the “First PIPE Investment”). The shares of Common Stock issued in the First PIPE Investment were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Upon the closing of the Business Combination, an associated marketing fee and legal fees of approximately $22.9 million was paid in full, and was recognized as an offset to the proceeds from the First PIPE Investment within Additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit)/net parent investment as of December 31, 2024 (Successor). On September 26, 2024, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, at a price of $20.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150.0 million (the “Second PIPE Investment”). The shares of Common Stock issued in the Second PIPE Investment were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act. Upon the closing of the Second PIPE Investment, an associated marketing fee and legal fees of approximately $7.8 million was paid in full, and was recognized as an offset to the proceeds from the Second PIPE Investment within Additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders' equity (deficit)/net parent investment as of December 31, 2024 (Successor). On October 31, 2024, the Public Warrants (refer to Note 7 — Warrants) ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange following the Company's announcement to redeem all remaining outstanding Public Warrants. During the period from February 14, 2024 through December 31, 2024 (Successor), approximately 99.8% of the Public Warrants were exercised by the holders thereof at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. As a result, holders of the Public Warrants received an aggregate 15,957,820 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for $183.5 million in cash proceeds to the Company. The remaining Public Warrants that were not exercised were redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per Public Warrant. Refer to Note 7 — Warrants for additional details regarding the warrant exercises. On December 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the following definitions were amended. “Restart Production” was redefined as 150 days after first production, extending the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan by 60 days. “Restart Failure Date” was extended an additional 60 days to March 1, 2026. In the absence of further negotiations, Restart Production must take place prior to March 1, 2026, and the Senior Secured Term Loan must be refinanced within 240 days following such first production date. On May 19, 2025, the Company announced that as of May 15, 2025, it had restarted production at SYU and begun flowing oil production from six wells at SYU's Platform Harmony to the Company's Las Flores Canyon (“LFC”). Additionally, on May 19, 2025 the Company also announced that with the completion of the Gaviota State Park anomaly repairs on the Las Flores Pipeline System (the “Onshore Pipeline”) on May 18, 2025, the Company completed its anomaly repair program on the Onshore Pipeline as specified by the Consent Decree, the governing document for the restart and operations of the Onshore Pipeline. On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Jefferies LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the underwritten public offering of 8,695,654 shares of Common Stock (the “2025 Offering”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,304,346 additional shares of Common Stock. On May 23, 2025 the upsized underwritten public offering of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $29.50 per share closed. Upon the closing of the 2025 Offering, associated marketing fees and legal fees of approximately $12.4 million were incurred, and were recognized as an offset to the proceeds from the 2025 Offering within Additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders' equity (deficit)/net parent investment as of June 30, 2025. The Company intends to use the approximately $282.6 million of net proceeds from the 2025 Offering for capital expenditures, working capital purposes and general corporate purposes. Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, references to (i) the “Company,” “Sable,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Sable Offshore Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, following the Business Combination, (ii) “Flame” refers to Flame Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) the “Pipelines” are to Pipeline Segments 324/325 (formally known as Pipeline Segments 901/903) and the other “324/325 Assets” (formally known as “901/903 Assets” and as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement). For the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, periods on or before February 13, 2024 reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the SYU Assets (excluding the Pipelines) prior to the Business Combination, referred to herein as the “Predecessor,” and periods beginning on or after February 14, 2024 reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as a result of the Business Combination, referred to herein as the “Successor”. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Going Concern The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced losses from operations and has negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur losses until it can recognize revenue in connection with the sale of production from the SYU Assets. As of June 30, 2025, the Successor reported unrestricted cash of $247.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $935.9 million. Additionally, the achievement of first production triggered the acceleration of the Senior Secured Term Loan maturity date to 240 days after the production restart date, or January 10, 2026. Accordingly, the Senior Secured Term Loan must be refinanced or otherwise paid in full by or prior to the maturity date. Following the Closing Date and through June 30, 2025, management has addressed capital funding needs with the consummation of the Business Combination, the First PIPE Investment, the Second PIPE Investment, proceeds from the exercise of warrants (refer to Note 7 — Warrants for additional details regarding the warrant exercises), and net proceeds from the 2025 Offering. Management believes the Company has sufficient capital to maintain operations and resume pipeline operations, which would allow sales of production volumes from the SYU Assets. However, the Company’s plans for first sales are contingent upon approvals from state and local regulators. Additionally, if the Company’s estimates of the costs to reach first sales are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to first sales and will need to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, among other things, reducing overhead expenses. Due to the remaining regulatory and legal approvals necessary to resume pipeline operations and enable sales of production volumes, and lack of assurance that new financing, or refinancing of the Senior Secured Term Loan, will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this quarterly report do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that could be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
