Exhibit 99.1
Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results
•Third quarter production increased 53% over the prior year, and 17% sequentially, averaging 40,786 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day.
•Cash flow from operations, excluding a $32.5 million net decrease from changes in working capital and other items, was $103.5 million for the third quarter, an 11% increase versus the second quarter.
•Organic drilling and development capital expenditures totaled $80.1 million during the third quarter.
•Northern closed the VEN Bakken acquisition and also added another 13.3 net wells to production during the third quarter, which helped offset the curtailments, shut-ins and completion delays that negatively impacted production by an estimated 4,500 Boe per day during the quarter.
•Ground Game success continued in the third quarter, with $9.9 million of acquisition capital and an additional $23.0 million of associated development capital allocated to drive cash flow for shareholder returns in 2020.
MINNEAPOLIS (BUSINESS WIRE) - November 12, 2019 - Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) (“Northern”) today announced the company’s third quarter results.
Third quarter 2019 production totaled 3.8 million Boe and averaged 40,786 Boe per day, a 53% increase from the prior year and a 17% increase sequentially. Oil and gas sales in the third quarter totaled $158.0 million. Net income in the third quarter was $94.4 million or $0.24 per diluted share. Adjusted Net Income in the third quarter was $36.3 million or $0.09 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $124.4 million in the third quarter, a 27% increase from the prior year. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.)
“Strong net well additions from our organic well opportunities and the success we have had in our ground game acquisitions generated strong production growth during the quarter,” commented Brandon Elliott, Chief Executive Officer. “While well performance and net well additions have remained robust, they did not completely offset 4,500 Boe per day of shut-ins and curtailments during the quarter. The good news is we expect the well performance and net well additions to remain strong while we expect the infrastructure issues to begin to subside as we close out 2019. Future cash flows will support plans to reduce debt ratios and return capital to shareholders in 2020.”
Production and Operating Costs
Total third quarter production was 3.8 million Boe, driven by the closing of the VEN Bakken acquisition and an additional 13.3 net wells added to production during the quarter. Strong well results were offset by continued infrastructure-driven constraints. Midstream system expansions, while beginning to come online, did not offset the negative effects on production and natural gas and NGL prices during the quarter. Oil price differentials averaged $5.48 per barrel, a 4% increase from the second quarter of 2019. Ongoing production curtailments resulted in a 5% sequential increase in lease operating expenses (“LOE”) to $8.62 per Boe in the third quarter. General and administrative expenses were $1.12 per Boe in the third quarter.
2019 Capital Allocation and Ground Game Activity
Northern continues to focus capital to the highest returns on capital employed in an effort to grow cash flow as it prepares to begin returning capital to shareholders in 2020. During the third quarter, Northern spent $80.1 million on organic development capital and an additional $32.9 million related to its ground game acquisition strategy (“Ground Game”), which is Northern's regular acquisition activity excluding larger, separately announced deals such as the recent VEN Bakken acquisition. Of the total Ground Game spend, $9.9 million was acquisition capital and an additional $23.0 million was associated development capital.
The third quarter was extremely active for Northern’s Ground Game. With many operators and non-operating participants seeking to reduce their short term capital obligations, the landscape for high return opportunities, particularly for near term drilling, has been robust. In the third quarter, Northern acquired approximately 3,100 net acres and 4.4 net wells in process. Of those net wells in process, approximately 2.0 net wells came online in the third quarter, 1.1 of which came online ahead of schedule late in the quarter. Northern's Ground Game success in 2019 will allow it to moderate its acquisition activity in 2020, as the Company looks to harvest cash flows from its 2019 acquisitions. Northern will, however, continue to monitor and evaluate potential acquisitions for distressed and high-return opportunities.
2019 Production Guidance Updated for Ground Game Acquisitions and Continued Curtailments
Northern expects to add 33 – 34 net organic wells to production in 2019. Due to Ground Game success over the last 12 months and an acceleration in development activity, Northern expects to add an additional 5 – 7 net wells to production from the Ground Game, for a total of 38 – 41 total net wells added to production during 2019.
Additional information regarding Northern’s current expectations are included in the tables below.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) impairment of other current assets, net of tax, (iii) loss on the extinguishment of debt, net of tax, (iv) debt exchange derivative (gain) loss, net of tax, (v) contingent consideration (gain) loss, net of tax, and (vi) certain acquisition transaction costs, net of tax. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) impairment of other current assets, (v) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (vi) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (vii) debt exchange derivative (gain) loss, (viii) contingent consideration (gain) loss, and (ix) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments. A reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP financial measures included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized commodity gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern’s core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern’s performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.
