Bonanza Creek Energy Announces Second Quarter 2014 Operational and Financial Results
DENVER, August 7, 2014 — Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (NYSE: BCEI) today reported its second quarter 2014 operating and financial results.
Key highlights for second quarter 2014, as compared to results from continuing operations for second quarter 2013(1), include:
· 69% increase in sales volumes to 22,849 Boe/d; 70% crude oil and liquids
· 79% increase in revenue to $151.7 million
· 75% increase in adjusted net income(2) to $18.9 million, or $0.48 per share
· Adjusted net income(2) of $20.7 million, or $0.52 per share, when executive departure costs are excluded
· 75% increase in adjusted EBITDAX(2) to $94.5 million
· Adjusted EBITDAX(2) of $97.4 million when executive departure costs are excluded
(1) Bonanza Creek began the divestiture process of its California properties in second quarter 2012 and sold its remaining property, the Midway Sunset Field, on March 21, 2014. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the results of operations for second quarter 2013 are presented as continuing operations.
(2) Non-GAAP measure, see attached Reconciliation Schedules.
Operational highlights for second quarter 2014 include:
· 40-acre spaced Niobrara B bench pad incorporating two wells with 28-stage fracs declined only 3% to 463 Boe/d after 60 days of initial production and all four wells are performing above the Company’s target type curve
· Codell step-out well targeting six feet of net pay thickness initial 30-day production rate of 426 Boe/d
· Three extended reach laterals drilled and completed successfully; initial 30-day production rates were 809 Boe/d for a 9,000’ lateral in the Niobrara B bench, 600 Boe/d for a 9,000’ lateral in the Niobrara C bench and 746 Boe/d for a 7,500’ lateral in the Codell
Marvin Chronister, Bonanza Creek’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Second quarter’s results reflect Bonanza Creek’s unwavering focus on execution and operational excellence. Production and the pace of drilling and completions are right on plan. Furthermore, as a result of our catalyst testing program in the Wattenberg Field we are becoming increasingly confident in 40-acre spacing, optimal lateral lengths and well configuration, and the primary recoveries achievable in the Niobrara and Codell. With over 70,000 largely contiguous net acres in the Wattenberg Field we are well positioned for top tier production growth far into the future.”
Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Average realized prices for second quarter 2014, before the effect of commodity derivatives, were $92.60 per Bbl of oil, $5.34 per Mcf of natural gas and $51.89 per Bbl of NGLs, compared to $89.41 per Bbl of oil, $4.47 per Mcf of natural gas and $49.03 per Bbl of NGLs for second quarter 2013.
Net revenue for second quarter 2014 was $151.7 million, compared to $84.5 million for second quarter 2013. Crude oil and liquids revenue accounted for approximately 87% of total revenue.
Lease operating expense (“LOE”) for second quarter 2014 was $18.0 million, or $8.67 per Boe, compared to $12.9 million, or $10.50 per Boe, for second quarter 2013.
General and administrative expense (“G&A”) for second quarter 2014 was $24.5 million, or $11.81 per Boe, compared to $13.3 million, or $10.82 per Boe, for second quarter 2013. Cash G&A(2) was $17.1 million, or $8.27 per Boe, compared to $10.6 million, or $8.63 per Boe, for second quarter 2013. G&A was impacted by executive departure costs of approximately $6.6 million, of which $2.9 million was cash. Not including departure costs, cash G&A for second quarter 2014 was $14.3 million, or $6.86 per Boe.
Severance and ad valorem taxes for second quarter 2014 were $16.3 million, or $7.82 per Boe, compared to $5.4 million, or $4.36 per Boe, for second quarter 2013. Colorado has higher severance and ad valorem tax rates than Arkansas and contributed a greater percentage of production for second quarter 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. In addition, our increase in new production during 2013 in the Wattenberg Field resulted in a higher than expected lag in the amount of ad valorem tax credits eligible for deduction against severance taxes generated in the current year because ad valorem taxes are not eligible for deduction in the year a well is completed.
Net income for second quarter 2014 was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $14.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share for second quarter 2013. Adjusted net income(2) for second quarter 2014 was $18.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $10.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for second quarter 2013. Excluding cash severance costs associated with executive departures resulted in adjusted net income during the quarter of approximately $20.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.
Operations Update
During second quarter 2014, the Company achieved an average production rate of 22,849 Boe/d, comprised of 66% crude oil, 4% NGLs, and 30% natural gas.
Rocky Mountain Region — Wattenberg Horizontal Development
The Rocky Mountain region contributed 17,061 Boe/d, or 75% of total Company net sales volumes for the quarter, comprised of 71% crude oil and 29% liquids-rich natural gas. Approximately 95% of second quarter sales volumes were from horizontal wells. Sales volumes increased by approximately 104% over second quarter 2013.
During the quarter, the Company spud 32 gross (28.7 net) wells and placed 38 gross (31.9 net) operated wells into sales.
Catalyst Drilling Program
The Company’s four well pad spaced at 40-acres in the Niobrara B bench, in which the two internal wells were completed with 28 stages, reported a four well average initial 60-day production rate of 463 Boe/d, only a 3% decline compared to the average initial 30-day production rate of 477 Boe/d. All four wells are currently tracking above the Company’s 313
MBoe target type curve. The Company plans to drill a five well pad, completed with 28-stages per well, testing 40-acre spacing in the Niobrara B and C benches in the third quarter.
The Company completed its most eastern Codell well to date and reported an initial 30-day production rate of 426 Boe/d. The Codell well was drilled and completed in an area with just six feet of net pay that meets a 10% porosity threshold. The Company plans to drill a second eastern step-out well in the fourth quarter 2014. No current 3P inventory or reserves are associated with Codell net pay thickness of less than eight feet.
The Company successfully drilled and completed two 9,000’ laterals in the Niobrara B and C benches and one 7,500’ lateral in the Codell. The Niobrara B bench well achieved an average 30-day production rate of 809 Boe/d, the Niobrara C bench well reported an average 30-day production rate of 600 Boe/d and average 60-day rate of 592 Boe/d, while the 7,500’ Codell lateral averaged 746 Boe/d and 679 Boe/d over its first 30 and 60 days of production, respectively. The Company plans to drill a total of 11 medium and extended reach laterals in 2014.
Midstream Update
A recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruling indirectly voided the Company’s privately negotiated agreement with a midstream partner to secure up to 18,000 Bbl/d (gross) through 2020 on the White Cliffs pipeline. As a part of the ruling, the FERC mandated that a new open season be conducted on the uncommitted volumes associated with the expansion project slated to come on line in late August. The Company will continue to seek firm transportation opportunities to bring its crude oil volumes to market via the White Cliffs expansion and other pipeline projects under consideration. Crude oil differentials to the West Texas Intermediate benchmark in the DJ Basin currently range from $11 to $14.
Mid-Continent Cotton Valley Program
The Mid-Continent region contributed 5,788 Boe/d, or 25% of total Company net sales volumes for second quarter 2014, comprised of 51% crude oil, 16% natural gas liquids and 33% natural gas. Sales volumes increased by approximately 13% over second quarter 2013. During the quarter, Bonanza Creek spud 12 gross (9.0 net) wells, performed 33 recompletions and tied 15 gross (10.8 net) wells into sales.
2014 Annual Guidance Update
The Company updated its 2014 annual guidance to incorporate the acquisition of approximately 34,000 net acres in the Wattenberg Field and its associated production.
Average production (Boe/d) | | 23,200 – 25,200 | |
| | | |
Operating costs and expenses (per Boe): | | | |
Lease operating | $ | 8.00 – 8.60 | |
Cash general and administrative | $ | 6.25 – 7.00 | |
Production taxes (% of pre-hedge realizations): | % | 9.5-10.0 | |
| | | |
Capital expenditures (in millions): | $ | 575 – 625 | |
The Company has adjusted its forecast for production taxes for 2014 from 6.5 to 7.0 percent of pre-hedge revenue to a range of 9.5 to 10.0 percent as a result of a loss of ad valorem tax credits related to low rate vertical well production.
Financial and Risk Management Update
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with a borrowing base of $525 million. The Company had a letter of credit totaling $36.0 million and cash totaling $36.6 million, resulting in total liquidity of $525.6 million. Concurrent with our $300 million offering of 5.75% senior notes which was completed on July 18th, our borrowing base was reduced by $75 million to $450 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, loss on sale of oil and gas properties and stock-based compensation, and then (2) these 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.

Schedule 6: Adjusted EBITDAX
(in thousands, 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 table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX.
