W&T OFFSHORE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL
RESULTS AND YEAR-TO-DATE OPERATIONAL RESULTS
HOUSTON — October 31, 2011 — W&T Offshore, Inc. (NYSE: WTI) today provides financial results for the third quarter 2011 and year-to-date operational results. Some of the highlights include:
• | Natural gas sales volumes increased 35.7% or 3.8 billion cubic feet of gas (“Bcf”) to 14.3 Bcf in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 and increased 1.2 Bcf or 8.8% sequentially. Natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) sales volumes rose 58.8% or 7.8 million gallons to 21.0 million gallons in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 and increased 3.4 million gallons or 19.1% sequentially. Oil sales for the third quarter of 2011 were 1.5 million barrels, flat with both the third quarter of last year and sequentially. |
• | On August 10, 2011, we closed on the acquisition of Shell Offshore Inc.’s 64.3% interest in the Fairway Field and associated Yellowhammer gas processing plant, offshore and onshore Alabama. Proved reserves associated with this acquisition were approximately 54.5 Bcf equivalent (“Bcfe”) as of June 30, 2011. |
• | Our averaged realized oil sales price increased $27.68 per barrel to $102.14 per barrel and our average NGLs sales price increased $0.42 per gallon to $1.34 per gallon compared to the third quarter of 2010. |

• | For the third quarter, adjusted EBITDA increased to $161.5 million from $117.9 million in the third quarter last year and for the first nine months of 2011 Adjusted EBITDA increased to $470.4 million from $328.6 million for the first nine months of last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first nine months of 2011 increased to 66% up from 63% in the comparable period of 2010. |
• | Net income for the third quarter of 2011 increased 94.7% to $52.9 million and earnings per share increased 94.4% to $0.70 per share, compared to the third quarter of 2010. Excluding special items, net income was $42.4 million, or $0.56 per common share, up from $32.0 million or $0.43 per common share, for the third quarter of 2010. |
• | Revenues for the third quarter of 2011 increased 44.7% to $245.4 million, up from $169.6 million in the corresponding period of 2010. The increase in revenues is comprised of 67.3% higher prices and 32.7% higher production volumes. |
• | During the third quarter, we drilled nine onshore exploration wells and one offshore exploration well. All of the wells were successful except one onshore well. Seven of the onshore exploratory wells were drilled in the West Texas Permian Basin, one was drilled in East Texas and the one non-commercial well was in South Texas. We also successfully drilled 12 onshore development wells on our Permian Basin properties. |
• | During the first nine months of 2011, we participated in the drilling of four offshore wells, all of which were successful and 31 onshore wells, all but one of which were successful. All of the offshore wells were on the conventional shelf with one being an exploration well and the other three being development wells. |
• | After the end of the quarter, our borrowing base under our revolving bank credit facility was increased from $537.5 million to $575.0 million. |
Tracy W. Krohn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continued on with the momentum that started earlier this year. Production volumes are up and were beyond the high side of our expectations due to very little storm activity and better well
- 2 -
performance. Our realized oil prices continued to be strong as we benefit from the premium pricing that our Gulf Coast barrels receive relative to WTI. We are continuing to generate significant cash flow as our adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months was over $470 million and our adjusted net income and EPS was well above year ago levels. Our move onshore has been expanded in a meaningful way to East Texas where we picked up approximately 141,000 acres as well as a number of new exploration opportunities.”
Revenues, Net Income and EPS: Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $52.9 million, or $0.70 per common share, on revenues of $245.4 million, compared to net income for the third quarter of 2010 of $27.2 million, or $0.36 per common share, on revenues of $169.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 net income totaled $126.8 million, or $1.68 per common share, on revenues of $709.1 million, compared to the first nine months of 2010 of $97.4 million, or $1.30 per common share, on revenues of $518.8 million. Net income increased in the third quarter of 2011 from the comparable 2010 period largely due to higher average oil and liquids prices, higher natural gas and liquids sales volumes and a gain on derivatives. The factors that contributed to the increase in net income were partially offset by higher costs and expenses and a higher effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the third quarter was approximately 35.3 %, compared to 2.4% during the third quarter of 2010. For 2011 substantially all of our federal income tax is expected to be deferred except for the amount related to alternative minimum tax which required a small cash payment. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of last year differed from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a reversal of a portion of a previously established valuation allowance.
Net income for the third quarter of 2011, excluding special items, was approximately $42.4 million, or $0.56 per common share. Net income, excluding special items, for the corresponding quarter of 2010 was approximately $32.0 million, or $0.43 per common share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, excluding special items, was approximately $128.5 million, or $1.70 per common share, compared to net income, excluding special items, of $87.1 million, or $1.17 per common share, in the
- 3 -
corresponding period of 2010. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Reconciliation of Net Income to Net Income Excluding Special Items” table at the back of this press release for a description of the special items.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Adjusted EBITDA:EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and are defined in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section later in this press release. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $396.1 million, up from the $392.9 million reported for the first nine months of 2010. The 2010 period benefitted from a $99.8 million tax refund related to the Worker, Homeowner and Business Assistance Act of 2009 that allowed us to carry back losses to previously closed years, while 2011 reflects a tax payment of $25 million. Otherwise, net cash provided by operating activities has increased over $128 million due to the significant improvement in operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011 increased 37.0% to $161.5 million compared to $117.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Adjusted EBITDA increased 43.2% to $470.4 million from $328.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Production and Prices:Our oil sales for the third quarter of 2011 were 1.5 million barrels and our averaged realized sales price was $102.14 per barrel, which represents a $27.68 per barrel increase over third quarter of last year. NGLs sales were up 7.8 million gallons to 21.0 million gallons and the price increased $0.42 a gallon to $1.34 per gallon. Natural gas sales for the quarter were 14.3 Bcf sold at an average price of $4.27 per Mcf, which is about $0.20 per Mcf less than the average for the third quarter of 2010. On a natural gas equivalent basis, we sold 26.5 Bcfe at an average price of $9.26 per thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent (“Mcfe”) in the third quarter of 2011, 46% of which was oil and NGLs. This compares to 21.6 Bcfe sold at an average price of $8.02 per Mcfe in the third quarter of 2010, 51% of which was oil and NGLs. Sales volumes were higher primarily due to the acquisition of the Shell properties in the fourth quarter of 2010 and
- 4 -
the Permian Basin Properties during the second quarter of this year. Sales volumes also benefitted from the return to production of various fields that were shut-in by the pipeline outage in the Main Pass 108 field. Those fields returned to service on March 31, 2011 when a connecting pipeline became operational. Production from that area averaged approximately 44 million cubic feet equivalent (“MMcfe”) per day during the month of September.
Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”):In the third quarter of 2011, LOE was $58.9 million or $2.22 per Mcfe compared to $34.4 million or $1.59 per Mcfe in the third quarter of 2010. On a component basis, base LOE was up $10.1 million, workover expenses rose by $4.3 million and insurance premiums increased by $2.1 million. In addition, hurricane insurance reimbursements fell by $7.0 million from the third quarter of 2010 to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. Base LOE is up primarily due to the various acquisitions completed in 2010 and 2011. Workover costs are up primarily due to the Permian Basin properties and insurance premiums are up due to the insurance renewals associated with substantially expanded coverage as a result of recent acquisitions both onshore and offshore.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, LOE increased to $159.9 million, or $2.16 per Mcfe, compared to $122.2 million, or $1.90 per Mcfe, for the like 2010 period. LOE for the first nine months of 2011 included an increase to base LOE of $15.3 million due mostly to the acquisition of properties in 2010 and 2011. In addition, facilities expense rose nearly $11.0 million to $21.4 million from a year ago due mostly to work on the tendon tension monitoring system and other repair work at Matterhorn, repair work at Virgo, pipeline repairs at Ship Shoal 300 and field maintenance at Tahoe. The 2010 period also included insurance reimbursements of about $9.9 million compared to a cumulative net zero balance for the first nine months of 2011.
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (“DD&A”):The DD&A rate for the third quarter of 2011 decreased to $3.19 per Mcfe from $3.48 per Mcfe for the same period in 2010 due to an increase in proved reserves. DD&A on a nominal basis
- 5 -
increased to $84.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 from $75.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to higher production volumes. The increase in proved reserves, as a result of adding the Permian Basin properties, has also increased our reserves to production profile in 2011 compared to 2010 from 5.6 to 7.7 years. DD&A on a per Mcfe basis decreased to $3.27 for the first nine months of 2011 from $3.42 per Mcfe in the comparable 2010 period due to an increase in proved reserves. DD&A on a nominal basis for the nine months ended 2011 increased to $241.9 million compared to $220.5 million for the same period in 2010 due to higher production volumes.
General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”): G&A increased to $18.1 million for the third quarter of 2011 from $13.4 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation as a result of improved financial and operational performance, and expanded activities onshore and offshore. In addition, costs associated with acquisition activities, transition service fees paid to the sellers of the properties we acquired in 2010 and 2011, litigation costs and accruals, and increased professional fees also resulted in higher G&A. On a per Mcfe basis, G&A was $0.68 per Mcfe for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $0.62 per Mcfe for the same period in 2010.
Capital Expenditures and Operations Update: For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, capital expenditures were $619.8 million, including $434.6 million for acquisitions, $40.0 million for exploration and $128.3 million for development activities and $16.9 million for seismic, capitalized interest and other leasehold costs.
Drilling Highlights
Offshore: In the third quarter of 2011, we successfully drilled the Main Pass 108 No. 8 well. The well reached a total measured depth of 12,878 feet and found seven pay sands. We own a 100% working interest in this well and are currently in the process of completing this conventional shelf development well.
- 6 -
Onshore: During the third quarter of 2011, we drilled 12 development wells and seven exploration wells in West Texas, all of which were successful. In addition, we drilled two exploration wells in other areas of Texas, one of which was successful.

Non-GAAP Information
Certain financial information included in our financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income,” “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA.” Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Net Income Excluding Special Items
“Net Income Excluding Special Items” does not include the royalty relief recoupment, net of DD&A expense, the transportation allowance for deepwater production, the unrealized derivative (gain) loss, the loss on extinguishment of debt, and associated tax effects and tax impact of the new tax legislation. Net Income excluding special items is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current periods to prior periods.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion. We believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and help our investors understand our operating performance and make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the unrealized gain or loss related to our derivative contracts, loss on extinguishment of debt, royalty relief recoupment and adjustments related to a transportation allowance for deepwater production. Although not prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and useful because they help our investors understand our operating performance and make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent funds available for discretionary use.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our consolidated net income to consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
