Bonanza Creek Energy Reports Financial Results and Increased Crude Oil Production in Third Quarter 2012
DENVER, November 8, 2012 — Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (NYSE: BCEI) today reported its third quarter 2012 operating and financial results.
Third quarter 2012 highlights, as compared to third quarter 2011, include:
· Production grew by 117% to 9,545 Boe/d, or 878.2 MBoe
· Crude oil production was up 140% to 6,306 Bo/d
· Net revenues increased by 118% to $59.6 million
· Adjusted net income increased 527% to $14.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share
· EBITDAX was up 148% to $39.6 million, or $1.00 per diluted share
Adjusted net income and EBITDAX are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income and EBITDAX to net income, see Schedules 4 and 5 below.
Other highlights include:
· Ongoing leasing efforts added approximately 5,600 net acres in the Wattenberg Field in the third quarter (previously announced)
· Drilled and completed the Company’s first horizontal Codell well and spudded the Company’s first Niobrara “C” Bench horizontal well and Niobrara “B” Bench extended reach lateral in October
· Borrowing base increased on October 30, 2012 from $245 million to $325 million, resulting in pro forma liquidity as of September 30, 2012 of $159.5 million
“During third quarter, the Company continued to execute on our growth plan achieving record levels of production, even though we experienced flat natural gas sales and higher costs compared to second quarter as a result of maintenance at our Mid-Continent gas processing facility and gathering and processing issues in the Wattenberg Field. While natural gas sales were flat during third quarter, crude sales increased 13% over second quarter driving an 11% increase in revenue and 7% EBITDAX growth. Based on our results through third quarter, we reiterate our 2012 production and capital expenditure guidance,” said Michael Starzer, Bonanza Creek’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Starzer continued, “We are pleased to see our Niobrara “B” Bench wells continue to improve; in fact the most recent 8 wells have achieved a 30-day average rate of 522 Boe/d, compared to the previously reported 16 well 30-day average of 470 Boe/d. We have de-risked the horizontal Niobrara “B” Bench inventory at 80-acre spacing across our Wattenberg position and are now drilling an extended reach lateral in the Niobrara “B” Bench and horizontal wells into the Niobrara “C” Bench and Codell formation. We are encouraged by the initial results from our first Codell horizontal well and the potential for down-spacing to 40-acres in the Niobrara “B” Bench and will continue to evaluate these upside opportunities over the coming year. These
growth catalysts in the Wattenberg, along with down-spacing potential in the oily Cotton Valley sands in Arkansas, could materially increase Bonanza Creek’s development runway.”
Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results
All amounts discussed below reflect total operations, including discontinued operations.
Average realized prices for the third quarter 2012, before the effect of commodity derivatives, were $87.96 per Bbl of oil, $3.36 per Mcf of natural gas and $56.43 per Bbl of NGLs, compared to $84.79 per Bbl of oil, $5.15 per Mcf of natural gas and $69.49 per Bbl of NGLs for the third quarter 2011.
Net revenue for the third quarter 2012 was $59.6 million, compared to $27.4 million for the third quarter 2011, a 118% increase. Crude oil and liquids revenue accounted for approximately 92% of total revenue for the third quarter 2012.
Lease operating expense (“LOE”) for the third quarter 2012 was $8.9 million, or $10.13 per Boe, compared to $5.5 million, or $13.56 per Boe, for the third quarter 2011. The decrease in per unit LOE is primarily attributable to increased volumes. LOE was impacted during the quarter by a $0.7 million charge to the Dorcheat gas plant to procure and install replacement equipment; excluding this charge, LOE was $9.33 per Boe. The Company reaffirms its annual guidance for unit LOE, but expects its full year results to be in the upper end of the range.
General and administrative expense (“G&A”) for the third quarter 2012 was $9.3 million, or $10.63 per Boe, compared to $4.2 million, or $10.34 per Boe, for the third quarter 2011. The increase in G&A expense is attributed primarily to the accelerated hiring of new personnel as the Company continues to expand its oil and gas operations. G&A for the third quarter 2012 also includes $1.4 million of non-cash stock compensation expense and $1.4 million of legal fees. Because of uncertainty with respect to the recovery of certain legal expenses and the timing of anticipated additions to its staff during the fourth quarter, the Company is currently reviewing its annual guidance for unit G&A.
EBITDAX for the third quarter 2012 was $39.6 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to $16.0 million for the third quarter 2011, a 148% increase.
Net income for the third quarter 2012 was $3.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2011. Adjusted net income for the third quarter 2012 was $14.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2011.
Bonanza Creek began the divestiture process of its California properties in the second quarter 2012. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the California properties are presented as “discontinued operations” for the third quarter 2012 and for the prior-year comparable periods. As a result, production, revenue and expenses associated with these properties have been removed from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations. In this release, the unaudited Condensed Statement of Operations in Schedule 1 and the unaudited Condensed Balance Sheet in Schedule 3 state the changes to the current period and the prior-year period for the disclosure of the discontinued operations. This supplemental non-GAAP information presents the reported GAAP amounts as compared to the amounts that would have been reported if the California operations were included in continuing
operations. Except as noted, all comparisons discussed in this release include the California operations as continuing operations in the current year and the prior year periods as previously reported.
On August 31, 2012, the Company sold the Kern River property in California for approximately $5.1 million and recorded a gain on the sale of oil and gas properties in the amount of $4.3 million related to this transaction. Subsequently, on October 15, 2012, the Company sold its Sargent property in California for approximately $3.2 million, equivalent to its book value. The remaining California assets, the Midway-Sunset and Greeley fields, are in the process of being sold.
Operations Update
During the third quarter 2012, the Company achieved an average production rate of 9,545 Boe/d, comprised of 66% crude oil, 8% NGLs, and 26% natural gas, increasing crude oil as a percentage of production by 3% over the second quarter 2012. Total production for the quarter increased 8% over the prior quarter, and increased 117% over the third quarter 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s average daily production was 8,533 Boe/d.
During the third quarter 2012, the Company drilled a total of 39 wells, completed 51 wells and recompleted 27 wells. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company drilled 131 wells, completed 129 wells and recompleted 74 wells. At September 30, 2012, the Company was drilling 5 wells and had 6 wells waiting on completion. Bonanza Creek also had two horizontal rigs operating in the Wattenberg Field and two rigs active in southern Arkansas.
Rocky Mountain Region — Wattenberg Horizontal Development
The Rocky Mountain region contributed approximately 5,063 Boe/d, or 53% of total company net sales volumes for the third quarter 2012, comprised of 72% crude oil and 28% liquid-rich natural gas. Approximately 3,000 Boe/d came from horizontal Niobrara wells.
Since Bonanza Creek began its horizontal Niobrara development program in July 2011, the Company has spud 31 wells, completed 25 wells, and has 30-day average production rates on 24 wells and 60-day average production rates on 20 wells. These wells have averaged the following rates:
30-day production rates: | 487 Boe/d (75% oil; 25% liquid-rich gas) |
60-day production rates: | 377 Boe/d (73% oil; 27% liquid-rich gas) |
During the third quarter, the Company drilled 9 and completed 8 horizontal wells. These wells were drilled and completed for an average well cost of $4.2 million to an average 4,000 feet lateral length and fracture stimulated with 18 stages, two more than the original design.
Bonanza Creek completed its first horizontal Codell well in October. The well was drilled and completed using the same technology as the Niobrara “B” Bench horizontal wells and early flowback rates are consistent with expectations. Also during the month of October, the Company drilled its first horizontal Niobrara “C” Bench well and spudded its first extended reach horizontal lateral into the Niobrara “B” Bench. The Company plans to drill the extended reach well to approximately 9,100 feet and fracture stimulate it with approximately 40 stages. The total drill and complete cost of this well is estimated to be approximately $8.0 million.
Production in the third quarter from the Wattenberg Field was negatively impacted by approximately 400 Boe/d, 55% crude oil, as a result of temporary gas flaring, high line pressures and delayed completions over quarter-end.
Mid-Continent Cotton Valley Program
The Mid-Continent region contributed 4,339 Boe/d, or 45% of total company net sales volumes for the third quarter 2012, comprised of 58% crude oil, 17% natural gas liquids and 25% natural gas.
During the third quarter 2012, Bonanza Creek drilled 9 wells and completed 12 wells in the Cotton Valley formation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Bonanza Creek drilled 34 wells and completed 36 wells. Of the 33 wells completed in 2012 that have over 30 days of production, the average 30-day production rate is 108 Boe/d, exceeding the planned rate. Also during the third quarter, the Company drilled wells in the McKamie-Patton field with early results coming in as expected.
The Company was unable to sell natural gas and natural gas liquids for the equivalent of 29 days during the quarter due to mechanical issues at the Dorcheat gas plant, which were remedied later in the quarter by the replacement of a faulty heat exchanger. Sales volumes were negatively impacted by 338 Boe/d for the quarter, of which 35% was natural gas liquids and the remaining 65% was natural gas.
Financial Update
Credit Agreement and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2012, Bonanza Creek had a $600 million revolving credit facility with a $245 million borrowing base and $122.3 million outstanding. The Company’s total liquidity was $79.5 million after reducing the borrowing base by $48 million to account for a letter of credit required to facilitate the Company’s acquisition of leasehold acreage in the Wattenberg Field. On October 30, 2012, the Company’s borrowing base was increased to $325 million, increasing the Company’s liquidity to $159.5 million. See Schedule 6 below for the Company’s calculation of “liquidity.”
The Company believes it has adequate liquidity from cash generated from operations and unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility to fully fund its 2012 capital plan and meet working capital needs.

Schedule 4: Adjusted Net Income
(in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)
This release contains the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, which exclude (1) unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivatives, (2) non-cash stock compensation expense, (3) impairment of proved properties and (4) exploratory well abandonment. The amounts included in the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, below, were computed in accordance with GAAP. We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide readers with a more meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably determined. However, these measures are provided in addition to, not as an alternative for and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. The following tables provide a reconciliation of adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Schedule 5: EBITDAX
(in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)
We define EBITDAX as net income, plus (1) exploration expense, (2) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, (3) stock-based compensation expense, (4) interest expense, (5) unrealized loss (gain) on commodity derivatives, and (6) income taxes. EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flow as determined by GAAP. EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a Company’s ability to internally fund development and exploration activities. This measure is provided in addition to, not as an alternative for and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDAX to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Schedule 6: Liquidity
(in thousands, unaudited)
Liquidity is calculated by adding the net funds available under our revolving credit facility and cash and cash equivalents. We use liquidity as an indicator of the Company’s ability to fund development and exploration activities. However, this measurement has limitations. This measurement can vary from year-to-year for the Company and can vary among companies based on what is or is not included in the measurement on a Company’s financial statements. This measurement is provided in addition to, not as an alternative for and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. The table below summarizes our liquidity as of September 30, 2012, and pro forma for the borrowing base redetermination effective October 30, 2012.
