| n | | Proved reserves mix of approximately 47% natural gas, 53% oil and NGLs; and |
| n | | Multiple drilling and recompletion opportunities and significant organic growth potential. |
Hedging Update
Consistent with its hedging policy, MEMP strengthened its overall hedge program and executed additional hedges on a portion of its expected oil and natural gas volumes through 2018. MEMP has entered into natural gas, crude oil and NGL derivatives contracts covering the period from 2013 through December 2018, consisting of swaps and collars. MEMP’s hedging policy is designed to reduce the impact to cash flows from commodity price and interest rate volatility.
The following table reflects the volumes of MEMP’s production covered by commodity derivative contracts and the average fixed or floor prices at which production is hedged. Targeted average net production estimate represents the production required to reach the lower boundary of the annual production range in MEMP’s 2013 full year guidance.

2013 Guidance
The following guidance is subject to the cautionary statements and limitations described under the “Forward-Looking Statements” caption at the end of this press release. MEMP’s 2013 guidance reflects actual changes in commodity prices and the impact of growth capital spending and takes into account the impact of the oil and natural gas producing properties acquired throughout the year. A summary of the guidance, as previously reported, assuming no additional acquisitions, is presented below:
Full Year 2013 Guidance
| | | | |
Annual Production (Bcfe) | | 28 – 30 | | |
| | |
Adjusted EBITDA ($MM) | | $120 – $124 | | |
| | |
Distributable Cash Flow ($MM) | | $78 – $82 | | |
| | |
DCF Coverage | | 1.1x – 1.2x | | |
| | |
Maintenance Capex ($MM) | | $31 | | |
| | |
Growth Capex ($MM) | | $30 – $40 | | |
These estimates reflect management’s best judgment based on current expectations about the future and anticipated market conditions based upon both stated and unstated assumptions and other factors. Although management believes such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks that are beyond MEMP’s control. Actual conditions and assumptions may change over the course of the year.
2013 Capital Program
In 2013, MEMP’s capital spending program is expected to be approximately $61 to $71 million, excluding acquisitions. MEMP anticipates spending approximately 61% in East Texas / North Louisiana, 35% in California and 4% in South Texas based on the maximum range of its capital spending program. MEMP anticipates spending capital in seventeen or more horizontal Cotton Valley new drils in various fields in East Texas and North Louisiana. MEMP plans to
drill six additional operated wells from its Beta platforms. MEMP expects the balance of its capital budget will primarily be spent on recompletions, capital workovers and facilities upgrades throughout its operating areas. Without considering potential acquisitions, MEMP expects aggregate production in 2013 to be approximately 28-30 Bcfe.
Financial Update
Total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2012 was $371.0 million under MEMP’s, $1.0 billion multi-year revolving credit facility with a borrowing base of $460.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, MEMP’s liquidity of $96.6 million consisted of $7.6 million of available cash and $89.0 million of available borrowing capacity. MEMP had total debt outstanding as of March 1, 2013 of $379.0 million and $81.0 million of availability under its revolver, which management believes will provide the financial flexibility to continue pursuing MEMP’s acquisition growth strategy.
Fourth Quarter 2012 Cash Distribution
As announced on January 22, 2013, the board of directors of MEMP’s general partner declared a cash distribution of $0.5075 per unit for the fourth quarter of 2012. This distribution represents an annualized rate of $2.03 per unit. The distribution was paid on February 13, 2013 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 1, 2013.
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Unitholders’ Schedule K-1

(1)Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and PV-10 are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation to the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release.
(2)Standardized measure is defined as the present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, without giving effect to non-property related expenses, such as general and administrative expenses, interest and income tax expenses, or to depreciation, depletion and amortization. The future cash flows are discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%. Because MEMP is a limited partnership, MEMP is generally not subject to federal income taxes and thus makes no provision for federal income taxes in the calculation of its standardized measure. Standardized measure does not give effect to derivative transactions. MEMP expects to hedge a substantial portion of its future estimated production from total proved producing reserves.
(3)In accordance with U.S. GAAP, acquisitions from certain affiliates of MEMP, including Memorial Resource Development LLC and certain funds controlled by Natural Gas Partners, are considered transactions between entities under common control; therefore, the comparison of results for the fourth quarter of 2012 and fourth quarter of 2011, and full year 2012 and full year 2011, along with the financial statements below and the financial statements to be filed in MEMP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, are presented as if MEMP had owned the assets for all periods presented on a combined basis.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may include “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that MEMP expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by MEMP based on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of MEMP, which may cause MEMP’s actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. Please read MEMP’s filings with the SEC, which are available on MEMP’s Investor Relations website at http://investor.memorialpp.com/sec.cfm or on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. MEMP undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after this press release.
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. In addition, the estimates of reserves in this press release are based on various assumptions, including assumptions related to oil and natural gas prices as discussed above, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds, which may differ materially from those that will be used in MEMP’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. MEMP’s internal estimates of proved reserves may differ materially from the estimates of its proved reserves as of December 31, 2012 that will be prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. as a result of the SEC pricing and other assumptions employed by an independent reserve engineering firm.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and PV-10. The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. MEMP’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. MEMP’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as MEMP does.
Adjusted EBITDA. MEMP defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense; net operating cash flow from acquisitions and divestitures, effective date through closing date; income tax expense; depreciation, depletion and amortization; impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; accretion of asset retirement obligations; unrealized losses on commodity derivative contracts; losses on sale of assets; unit-based compensation expenses; exploration costs; acquisition related costs; amortization of investment premium; and other non-routine items, less interest income; income tax benefit; unrealized gains on commodity derivative contracts; gains on sale of assets and other non-routine items. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of MEMP’s financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest, support MEMP’s indebtedness and make distributions on its units; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flows provided by operating activities.
Distributable Cash Flow.MEMP defines distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash income taxes; cash interest expense; and estimated maintenance capital expenditures. Management compares the distributable cash flow MEMP generates to the cash distributions it expects to pay MEMP’s partners. Using this metric, management computes MEMP’s distribution
coverage ratio. Distributable cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for MEMP’s limited partners since it serves as an indicator of MEMP’s success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not MEMP is generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net cash flows provided by operating activities.
PV-10.MEMP defines PV-10 as present value, discounted at 10% per year, of estimated future net revenues. MEMP’s calculation of PV-10 differs from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC in that it is presented including the impacts of its oil and natural gas hedge values for 2013 - 2018 and strip prices as of December 31, 2012, rather than the average price during the 12-month period, determined as an unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month, and without giving effect to derivatives. MEMP calculates PV-10 value in this manner because such a large percentage of the MEMP’s forecasted oil and natural gas production is hedged for multiple-year periods, and management therefore believes that its PV-10 calculation more accurately reflects the value of its estimated future net revenues. The information used to calculate PV-10 is not derived directly from data determined in accordance with the provisions of applicable accounting standards. MEMP’s calculation of PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
