(a) See Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations below
First Quarter 2015 Proved Reserves
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company increased estimated total proved reserves by 73% to 869.2 Bcfe, compared with estimated total proved reserves at year-end 2014 of 502.8 Bcfe. The proved reserves growth was attributable primarily to an increase in proved undeveloped (“PUD”) reserves, resulting from the addition by the Company of 20 new Utica Shale PUD locations and 23 new Marcellus Shale PUD locations. These new locations were the result of significant recent production results in the Company’s Ohio acreage position for both the Utica and Marcellus Shale plays, finalization of new units offsetting existing proved developed producing (“PDP”) wells and additional locations within existing PDP units. The Company expects to continue to increase its proved reserves in the Utica Shale, where it presently owns ~130,000 net leasehold acres. The Company continues to work to finalize approximately 54 additional drilling units within its core Utica and Marcellus Shale acreage positions. At March 31, 2015, the Appalachian Basin (including properties in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in West Virginia and Ohio and properties in Kentucky) accounted for
approximately 90% of Magnum Hunter’s total proved reserves volumes, and the Williston Basin in North Dakota accounted for the remaining approximately 10% of the Company’s total proved reserves volumes. The proved reserves information for the first quarter of 2015 contained in this press release is estimated based on evaluations conducted by the Company’s internal geological and engineering team, and such information has not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s third-party independent engineering consultants or any other third party.
Financial and Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
Oil and gas production increased 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to ~14.7 Bcfe (~2.5 million Boe) or an average of ~163.6 MMcfe (~27,261 Boe) per day (74% natural gas, 13% oil and 13% NGLs), compared with production of ~8.9 Bcfe (~1.5 million Boe) or an average of ~98.6 MMcfe (~16,433 Boe) per day (56% natural gas, 29% oil and 15% NGLs) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in production was attributable primarily to the Company’s expanded 2014 drilling program in its core areas of operations and production results from the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays.
Magnum Hunter reported a decrease in oil and gas revenues of 35% to $49.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with $76.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenues decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 due primarily to decreases in the prices received for oil, natural gas and NGLs, partially offset by higher production volumes from our Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale wells.
The Company reported a net loss of ($114.8) million attributable to common shareholders, or $(0.57) per basic and diluted common shares outstanding, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with a net loss of ($76.5) million, or ($0.41) per basic and diluted common shares outstanding, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. When adjusted for a combination of non-cash expenses and non-recurring gains on asset sales, the Company’s adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was ($0.38) per basic and diluted common shares outstanding (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations below).
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Magnum Hunter’s Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Exploration Expense (“Adjusted EBITDAX”) was $13.4 million, compared with $39.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (See Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations below), a decrease of 66%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDAX was due primarily to the dramatic decrease in commodity prices for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Recurring general and administrative expenses per Mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased 52% to $0.43 per Mcfe from $0.89 per Mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due primarily to (i) reduced professional services, (ii) reduced reliance on external consultants and (iii) decreased salaries and personnel expenses (See Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations below). The Company anticipates that its reliance on third-party consultants will continue to substantially decrease, which, combined with reductions in corporate offices and headcount, will further reduce its recurring general and administrative expenses per Mcfe during the remainder of fiscal year 2015.
Capital Expenditures and Existing Liquidity
The Company’s upstream capital expenditure budget for fiscal year 2015 is $100 million. The Company’s upstream capital expenditure budget may be reduced or increased depending on realized prices for its natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil, investment opportunities, continued effective implementation of cost reduction initiatives, including reduction of oil and gas field service costs, and funding allocations. The Company has allocated approximately $70 million of its upstream capital expenditure budget to its Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale exploration and development drilling program in West Virginia and Ohio, approximately $10 million to its properties in the Williston Basin/Bakken Shale in North Dakota (substantially all of which are non-operated) and approximately $20 million for additional leasehold acreage acquisitions in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale plays.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, total upstream capital expenditures were $47.2 million, of which $11.2 million and $19.0 million constituted drilling and completion capital for the Williston Basin and Appalachian Basin, respectively. Leasehold acquisition expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015, were $17.0 million, predominately all of which was in the Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale plays.
Magnum Hunter believes that its internally generated cash flows, anticipated increased borrowing availability under its Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and additional liquidity sources, including but not limited to proceeds from non-core asset sales, potential capital markets transactions and planned strategic initiatives that the Company is actively pursuing, will provide it with sufficient liquidity to fund its fiscal 2015 capital expenditure budget. As of May 8, 2015, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $20.1 million, comprised of approximately $14.4 million of cash and $5.7 million of borrowing availability under its Senior Revolving Credit Facility.
On May 7, 2015, the Company terminated its open “in the money” commodity derivatives positions. Following the May 2015 borrowing base redetermination under the Company’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility, which redetermination took into account the termination of all such open commodity derivatives positions, the Company’s borrowing base under its Senior Revolving Credit Facility was maintained at $50 million. The Company expects to receive on or before May 12, 2015 up to $11.8 million in cash proceeds from the termination of its open commodity derivatives positions.
2015 Liquidity Events
As previously disclosed, the Company is actively working on a number of strategic initiatives to enhance the Company’s overall liquidity throughout 2015.
· The Company is negotiating an asset management agreement for the marketing by a third party of certain of the Company’s natural gas production whereby the third party also will agree to provide credit support to certain interstate pipeline companies in replacement of the Company’s firm transportation letters of credit, resulting in the cancellation of the letters of credit and a corresponding increase in borrowing capacity under the Company’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility of ~$40.0 million.
· Magnum Hunter is negotiating a definitive purchase and sale agreement covering ~5,000 acres of undeveloped net leasehold acreage located in Appalachia. The Company considers this acreage to be non-core to its current operations in the region and expects this transaction could generate cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $45 million to $60 million.
· The Company has engaged an investment bank to conduct the marketing of a portion of the Company’s existing equity ownership interest in Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC in the approximate amount of $50 million.
· The Company maintains a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2015.
· Magnum Hunter is in negotiations with certain parties for a joint venture under which the Company would sell or contribute certain Utica Shale unproved, undeveloped leasehold acreage located in Ohio which would provide it with a combination of cash up front as well as funding for future capital expenditures in the approximate total amount of $450 million.
Operations
2015 Production and Capital Guidance Update
As previously disclosed in connection with Magnum Hunter’s 2015 production guidance, the Company expects average daily production for 2015 of 180 – 204 MMcfe/d (30,000 – 34,000 Boe/d). Contingent on closing of the liquidity initiatives referred to above, along with further service cost reductions, the Company will begin putting additional capital for 2015 projects to work. Of the $47.2 million of capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2015 discussed above, only 52% was associated with budgeted 2015 capital projects ($7.3 million for non-operated Bakken properties, no Marcellus and Utica Shale drilling and completion activities and $17.0 million for leasehold acquisitions). The remainder of the 2015 budget,
the vast majority of which is dedicated to West Virginia and Ohio drilling and completion activity, is expected to be second half of the year weighted.
Marcellus Shale
Magnum Hunter currently has ~44 net horizontal wells producing from the Marcellus Shale. The Company placed seven net wells (four new wells and three previously shut-in wells) on production during the first quarter of 2015. Magnum Hunter currently has no drilling rigs or completion crews active in the Marcellus Shale play. Five net Marcellus wells are currently in various stages of the drilling phase, but all drilling operations with respect to these wells have been suspended.
Utica Shale
Magnum Hunter currently has four net horizontal wells producing from the Utica Shale. The Company placed 1.5 net wells on production during the first quarter of 2015. Magnum Hunter currently has no drilling rigs or completion crews active in the Utica Shale play. Two net Utica wells have been drilled and are awaiting fracture stimulation and three net Utica wells are in various stages of the drilling phase, but all drilling and completion operations with respect to these wells have been suspended.
Price Realizations
Magnum Hunter’s average realized natural gas price for the first quarter of 2015 was $2.91 per Mcf, a $0.04 positive differential to the average NYMEX price for the period. A portion of the Company’s first quarter 2015 natural gas production was sold for favorable pricing through the Rockies Express interstate pipeline interconnect with the Eureka Hunter Pipeline System. Magnum Hunter’s average realized oil price for the first quarter of 2015 was $30.16 per barrel, an $18.41 per barrel negative differential to the average WTI price for the period. Magnum Hunter’s average realized NGLs price for the first quarter of 2015 was $25.52 per barrel, or ~53% of the average WTI price for the period.
Eureka Hunter
Eureka Hunter Pipeline is currently gathering approximately 550,000 – 600,000 MMBtu per day. The Company expects continued increases in throughput volumes as new customers bring gas to the Eureka Hunter Pipeline System due to the completions of new interconnects with major interstate pipelines. The Company anticipates that compression into the Rockies Express interstate pipeline will become operational this month. Operations continue to focus on adding infrastructure across active areas within the dry gas Utica Shale play, especially through Monroe County, Ohio and in West Virginia. Eureka Hunter Holdings’ midstream capital expenditure budget for fiscal year 2015 is approximately $85 million. Magnum Hunter expects these capital needs to be funded primarily through the Eureka Hunter Pipeline credit facility and the capital deferment agreement with the Company’s principal co-investor in Eureka Hunter Holdings.
Management Comments
Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Magnum Hunter, commented, “We continue to be in “hunker down” mode as we work on closing our various liquidity events previously outlined. Production growth year-over-year has been significant due to new wells drilled and placed on production in our two core resource plays, the Marcellus and Utica. However, currently we are not drilling or completing any new wells in anticipation of further reductions in service costs and improvements in our working capital position. We are finally beginning to realize the proved reserve growth potential in our vast undeveloped leasehold position with the reporting today of a 73% increase in our proved reserves this quarter. Eureka Hunter continues to increase throughput volumes and is targeting close to 1 Bcf per day of total volumes around year-end. New interstate interconnects have enabled the realized natural gas price to increase to a $0.04 positive differential to NYMEX in the first quarter of 2015. We continue to negotiate our planned Utica Joint Venture, in the $450 million range, and believe a definitive joint venture transaction with an interested party will be completed soon.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains certain financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. We have provided reconciliations within this release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures for financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in this release.
Magnum Hunter defines adjusted income (loss) as reported net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, plus non-recurring and non-cash items which include (i) exploration expense, (ii) impairment of proved oil and gas properties, (iii) impairment of other operating assets, (iv) non-cash stock compensation expense, (v) non-cash 401k matching expense, (vi) non-recurring transaction and other expense, (vii) unrealized (gain) loss on investments, (viii) interest expense – fees, (ix) unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, (x) (gain) loss on sale of assets, (xi) income tax expense (benefit), (xii) non-recurring charge for reduction of capital account in Eureka Hunter Holdings, (xiii) gain on deconsolidation of Eureka Hunter Holdings, (xiv) loss on extinguishment of Eureka Hunter Holdings Series A Preferred Units, (xv) (gain) loss from sale of discontinued operations and (xvi) income from discontinued operations.
Magnum Hunter defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) from continuing operations before (i) net interest expense, (ii) (gain) loss on sale of assets, (iii) depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion, (iv) impairment of proved oil and gas properties, (v) impairment of other operating assets, (vi) exploration expense, (vii) non-cash stock compensation expense, (viii) non-cash 401k matching expense, (ix) non-recurring transaction and other expense, (x) unrealized (gain) loss on investments, (xi) income tax expense (benefit), (xii) unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, (xiii) non-recurring charge for reduction of capital account in Eureka Hunter Holdings, (xiv) gain on deconsolidation of Eureka Hunter Holdings and (xv) gain on dilution of interest in Eureka Hunter Holdings. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
Magnum Hunter defines recurring cash G&A as total general and administrative expenses before (i) non-cash stock compensation, (ii) acquisition and other non-recurring expense and (iii) non-recurring charge for reduction of capital account in Eureka Hunter Holdings.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate evaluation of the Company’s business on a “normalized” or recurring basis and without giving effect to certain non-cash expenses and other items, thereby providing management, investors and analysts with comparative information for evaluating the Company in relation to other oil and gas companies providing corresponding non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures for financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and that the reconciliations to the closest corresponding GAAP measure should be reviewed carefully.
