(1) Bonanza Creek began the divestiture process of its California properties in the second quarter 2012, with one property remaining to be sold as of December 31, 2013. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the results of operations for the California properties are presented as “discontinued operations.”
(2) Non-GAAP measure, see attached Reconciliation Schedules
The Company also announced today that it received the 2013 Corporate Growth Award from the Association of Corporate Growth which recognizes companies for their excellence in growth strategies.
Marvin Chronister, Bonanza Creek’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are pleased to report strong financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2013. The Company continues to execute on its strategic plan and deliver superior results for its stockholders thanks to a team of dedicated professionals operating high quality assets.”
Tony Buchanon, Bonanza Creek’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, commented: “The Company had another outstanding year operationally led by our safety performance which recorded zero lost time incidents for both company employees and contractors. We exceeded our annual production guidance and significantly reduced operating costs, all while coming in at the low end of our capital budget range. Our substantial investment in the Wattenberg Field in 2013 resulted in outstanding proved reserve growth of approximately 51% in the Rocky Mountain region and 32% company-wide. We executed on our catalyst well program in both of our core regions, which led to increases in our inventory of undrilled locations and internal assessment of risked 3P reserves. During 2014, we plan to expand the development of the Wattenberg Field with the application of increased downspacing and extended reach laterals as well as 5-acre downspacing in the Mid-Continent.”
Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Results from Continuing Operations
Net revenue for fourth quarter 2013 was $133.1 million, compared to $73.6 million for fourth quarter 2012. Crude oil and liquids accounted for approximately 88% of total revenue.

The Company also updated its year-end 2013 internal 3P reserves analysis from its two core regions. Total 3P reserves were 354 MMBoe from a remaining well inventory of 2,276 gross (1,667 net) locations. In the Wattenberg Field, horizontal 3P reserves increased by 30% to 308 MMBoe primarily as a result of increased EURs in the Niobrara C Bench and Codell formation and a 20% increase in remaining well inventory to 1,841 gross (1,314 net) locations. The incremental well count is based on acreage additions and increased confidence gained from drilling over 100 horizontal wells in 2012 and 2013 both laterally across the acreage and vertically through the producing intervals. In addition, Dorcheat-Macedonia 3P reserves increased by 14% to 41 MMBoe and remaining well count increased 12% to 380 gross (316 net) locations.
The following table summarizes the Company’s 2013 horizontal risked 3P reserves and inventory count in the Wattenberg Field:

Operations Update
During fourth quarter 2013, the Company achieved an average production rate of 21,119 Boe/d from continuing operations, comprised of 66% crude oil, 5% NGLs, and 29% natural gas, increasing total production by 77% over fourth quarter 2012 and 20% over the previous quarter. The Company also maintained its top safety record with no recordable lost time incidents for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
Rocky Mountain Region — Wattenberg Horizontal Development
During fourth quarter 2013, the Rocky Mountain region produced 15,036 Boe/d, or 71% of total company volumes, with 14,344 Boe/d coming from horizontal wells. Production increased 130% and the contribution from horizontal wells grew 289% over fourth quarter 2012. Compared to the previous quarter, Rocky Mountain volumes increased 27% and horizontal production volumes grew by 29%.
The Company spud 22 gross (18.9 net) horizontal wells and tied 15 gross (13.8 net) horizontal wells into sales during the quarter. For full year 2013, it spud 87 gross (81.3 net) horizontal wells and tied 73 gross (67.2 net) horizontal wells into sales. The Company’s non-operated activity for the year included the completion of four gross (1.4 net) horizontal wells in the fourth quarter. The Company began drilling its 15 well Super-Section from three pads in October and finished in December. Completion operations began in mid-January and currently all 15 wells are on flowback or early production.
The Company reported encouraging results from its catalyst testing program during 2013. The Niobrara C Bench, Codell formation, downspacing and extended reach laterals performed within expectations. The Company will expand the testing and development of these upside opportunities in 2014.
The Company now has five Codell wells on production with an average 30-day production rate of 498 Boe/d at 75% crude oil, an average 60-day rate of 422 Boe/d, and an average 90-day rate of 399 Boe/d on three wells. It also has five Niobrara C Bench wells producing for over three months with an average 30-day production rate of 425 Boe/d at 83% crude oil, an average 60-day rate of 380 Boe/d, and an average 90-day rate of 347 Boe/d.
Extended reach laterals continue to impress. The Company’s last two of three 9,000’ wells, completed optimally, continued to increase in rate through 60 days before exhibiting a very shallow decline. The average 30-day production rate for these two wells was 654 Boe/d, the average 60-day rate increased to 667 Boe/d, and the 90-day rate was only 5% less than the average 30-day rate at 622 Boe/d.
The Company’s Niobrara B Bench 40-acre spaced testing is ongoing and results are within the range of expectations though hampered by operational and high line pressure issues. The six downspaced wells averaged a 30-day production rate of 368 Boe/d at 82% crude oil, a 60-day rate of 305 Boe/d and a 90-day average rate on four wells of 271 Boe/d.
Mid-Continent Cotton Valley Program
The Mid-Continent region contributed 6,083 Boe/d, or 29% of total company net sales volumes for fourth quarter 2013, comprised of 50% crude oil, 18% natural gas liquids and 32% natural gas. Sales volumes increased by approximately 13% over fourth quarter 2012.
During the fourth quarter 2013, Bonanza Creek spud 8 gross (6.8 net) Cotton Valley wells, tied 10 gross (7.3 net) wells into sales and performed 17 gross (13.9 net) recompletions. For the full year 2013, it spud 47 gross (38.5 net) wells, tied 48 gross (39.6 net) wells into sales and performed 103 gross (91.4 net) recompletions. In 2013, the Company completed nine wells testing 5-acre spacing. There has been no observed interference and initial production and subsequent recompletion efforts have all been above expectations.
Financial and Risk Management Update
Debt and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2013, Bonanza Creek had a $600 million revolving credit facility with an undrawn borrowing base of $450 million. The Company had a letter of credit totaling $36.0 million and cash totaling $180.6 million, resulting in total liquidity of $594.6 million.

Schedule 5: Adjusted Net Income
(in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)
Adjusted Net Income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income after adjusting first for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items, including changes in unrealized gains and losses on unsettled derivative instruments, impairment of oil and gas properties, and other similar non-cash charges, and then (2) the non-cash items’ impact on taxes based on a tax rate of 38.5%, which approximates our effective tax rate. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP):

Schedule 6: Adjusted EBITDAX
(in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash charges. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX to the GAAP financial measures of net income.

Schedule 7: Cash Margin
(in thousands)
We define unhedged cash margin per Boe as oil and natural gas revenues, less (1) lease operating expense, (2) oil and natural gas taxes, and (3) cash G&A expense (excludes stock-based compensation), divided by production for continuing operations. Cash margin is presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measure of net revenues because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a Company’s ability to generate cash flow from sales. 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) in our SEC filings and posted on our website. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash margin to net revenues for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Schedule 8: Definition of PV-10 Value and the Standardized Measure
PV-10 is derived from the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows (“Standardized Measure”), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. PV-10 is a computation of the Standardized Measure on a pre-tax basis. PV-10 is equal to the Standardized Measure at the applicable date, before deducting future income taxes, discounted at 10%. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated net proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes, and it is a useful measure for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our oil and natural gas properties. Further, investors may utilize the measure as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and natural gas properties. PV-10, however, is not a substitute for the Standardized Measure. Our PV-10 measure and the Standardized Measure do not purport to present the fair value of our oil and natural gas reserves.
The following table provides a reconciliation of PV-10 to the Standardized Measure at December 31, 2013 and 2012:
| | December 31, | |
(in millions) | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
PV-10 | | $ | 1,227.2 | | $ | 834.7 | |
Present value of future income taxes discounted at 10% | | (301.9 | ) | (151.3 | ) |
