Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

HOUSTON, TX, August 5, 2020 - Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (“Magnolia,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MGY) today announced its financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights:

• Magnolia reported a second quarter 2020 net loss of $29.4 million and net loss attributable to Class A Common Stock of $18.3 million, or $0.11 per share. Second quarter 2020 total adjusted loss was $14.0 million, or $0.08 per share.

• Second quarter 2020 production averaged 64.1 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Mboe/d") and toward the higher end of our guidance range. Oil production averaged 33.9 thousand barrels per day ("Mbbl/d") or 53 percent of total volumes. Magnolia did not complete any operated wells during the second quarter and production shut-ins were in line with earlier guidance of less than 5 percent of our May 2020 operated volumes.

• Production from Giddings⁽¹⁾ averaged 23.3 Mboe/d in the second quarter 2020, with oil production representing 6.4 Mbbl/d. Oil production at Giddings during the quarter was flat compared to first quarter levels despite having not brought any new wells on line since February, demonstrating the lower production decline rate from this asset.

• Magnolia currently has 14 wells producing in our initial core development area. The 30, 90, and 180-day production rates have averaged 1,534, 1,557, and 1,374 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boe/d"), respectively (~50% oil on a two-stream basis).

• Adjusted EBITDAX during the second quarter of 2020 was $40.2 million. Drilling and Completion costs ("D&C") for the quarter were $27.3 million. Magnolia continues to target D&C spending during 2020 of approximately 60 percent of adjusted EBITDAX.

• Total adjusted cash costs⁽²⁾ declined 18 percent sequentially to $8.50 per boe in the second quarter 2020 compared to $10.37 per boe in the first quarter 2020. We remain on track to achieve approximately $55 million of savings in our 2020 total cash costs as guided earlier this year.  

• Magnolia ended the quarter with approximately $116.9 million of cash on its balance sheet and remains undrawn on its $450 million revolving credit facility. The Company has no debt maturities until 2026 and has no plans to increase its debt levels.

“Despite one of the most challenging macro environments ever experienced by the industry, Magnolia successfully managed through the recent period of severe weakness in product prices,” said Magnolia Chairman, President, and CEO, Steve Chazen. “This was due to our low levels of debt and our high quality, capital efficient assets. Our business model continues to prioritize low financial leverage and disciplined capital spending, providing consistent free cash flow generation. Our focused business has allowed us to reduce our overhead and operating expenses to the current environment and we expect to make further progress.

“All of our assets have outperformed our expectations. We continue to advance our understanding and operating capabilities at Giddings, as evidenced by the per well 6-month production results averaging approximately 120,000 barrels of oil and 750,000 Mcf of natural gas.  Positive drilling results at Giddings combined with the recent improvement and stability in product prices, should allow for further drilling in our core area. We plan to begin completing the Giddings DUCs in the latter part of the third quarter. Our pace of activity continues to be guided by commodity prices and free cash flow generation.

“Our objectives remain the same, with the level of spending for the year to be around 60 percent of our adjusted EBITDAX. At current product prices, we would expect to return to profitability and our cash levels to build through the remainder of the year.”

Operational Update

Second quarter total company production averaged 64.1 Mboe/d, with oil production representing 53 percent of our volumes. Production from the Karnes area and from Giddings and Other averaged 40.8 Mboe/d and 23.3 Mboe/d, respectively, during the second quarter 2020. Despite not bringing any new wells on line during the second quarter, Giddings and Other production volumes were approximately flat with the 23.9 Mboe/d produced in the first quarter of 2020. Giddings oil production was 6.4 Mbbl/d and similar with first quarter levels of 6.5 Mbbl/d.

Magnolia did not bring any operated wells on line throughout our assets during the second quarter. We are currently operating one rig at Giddings which is drilling a three-well pad. Once drilling on this pad is finished, we will have 8 uncompleted wells from 3 pads at Giddings and a total of 10 uncompleted wells in the Karnes area. We expect to begin completing the drilled but uncompleted wells ("DUCs") at Giddings before the end of this quarter. The drilling of additional wells in Giddings is dependent on product prices. Magnolia does not currently plan to complete any operated wells in the Karnes area during the remainder of 2020.

(1) Giddings includes other production not located in the Giddings Field.

(2) Total adjusted cash costs include lease operating expense, gathering transportation and processing, taxes other than income, exploration expense, excluding non-cash impairments, general and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash stock based compensation, and interest expense, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs.

Magnolia has brought on line a total of 28 horizontal wells in Giddings over the last three years. Until this year, we focused on evaluating and appraising a sizable portion of approximately 630,000 gross acres in the Giddings Field. Beginning with this year, we applied some of our learnings and shifted some of our appraisal activity to an early stage development program concentrated on an area encompassing approximately 70,000 acres. In this early stage development area, Magnolia currently has 14 producing wells with at least 180 days of production history. These wells have average 30, 90, and 180-day production rates of 1,534, 1,557, and 1,374 boe/d, respectively, with oil consisting of approximately half of the total production.

	30-Day	90-Day	180-Day
Well Count	14	14	14
Oil Bbls/d	781	783	677
boe/d (two-stream)	1,534	1,557	1,374

The production results demonstrate the shallower production declines from the Giddings wells. The shift from appraisal to development activity has also helped to drive down our overall well costs. Despite the average lateral length increasing from 5,000 feet to between 6,000 to 7,000 feet, recent development well costs have fallen to less than $7 million. We believe we can drive overall well costs toward $6 million per well through additional experience and efficiencies. The shallower decline rates and lower well costs speaks to the improved capital efficiency we are seeing from our early stage development at Giddings.

Guidance

Magnolia continues to target capital spending of within approximately 60 percent of adjusted 2020 EBITDAX. We expect our third quarter production to average between 55-58 Mboe/d with oil expected to be 50-52 percent of the total volumes. These estimates assume no new operated wells come on line during the quarter. As we bring wells on line in Giddings later this year, we expect our production levels for both the fourth quarter and the 2020 exit rate to exceed our production in the third quarter. Oil differentials are expected to be at an approximately $3 per barrel discount to MEH, which is similar to our historical levels.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

Magnolia's financial statements and related footnotes will be available in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, which is expected to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 6, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDAX

In this press release, we refer to adjusted EBITDAX, a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, accretion of asset retirement obligations, non-cash stock based compensation expense, exploration costs, and certain transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP.

Our management believes that adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties may use adjusted EBITDAX in the evaluation of our Company. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDAX, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stock to adjusted earnings (loss)

Our presentation of adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures because they exclude the effect of certain items included in Income Attributable to Class A Common Stock. Management uses adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted earnings (loss) may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, and capital structure, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss)

Our presentation of adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measures because it excludes the effect of certain items included in Net income (loss) and adjusts for income taxes assuming the exchange of all outstanding Magnolia LLC Units and corresponding Class B Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock. Management uses adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted net income (loss) may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, and capital structure, among other factors. Management believes adjusting these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted net income (loss) may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of cash costs to adjusted cash costs

Our presentation of adjusted cash costs is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management. Adjusted cash costs exclude stock based compensation expense and unproved property impairment because they are non-cash in nature. We define adjusted cash costs as lease operating expenses, gathering, transportation and processing, taxes other than income, exploration expense, general & administrative expense, and interest expense, adjusted for certain non-cash components of exploration expense and general & administrative expense. Management believes that adjusted cash costs provides relevant and useful information, which is used by our management in assessing the Company’s profitability and comparability of results to our peers.

As a performance measure, adjusted cash costs may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, and capital structure, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted cash costs may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.
