Exhibit 99.1
RIVIERA RESOURCES REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2018 RESULTS
HOUSTON, November 8, 2018 – Riviera Resources, Inc. (OTCQX: RVRA) (“Riviera” or the “Company”) announces financial and operating results for the third quarter 2018 and highlights the following:
| • | Completed spin-off from LINN Energy, Inc. (“LINN”) on August 7, 2018 |
| • | Since the spin-off, returned over $140 million of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and tender offer |
| • | Outperformed third quarter guidance, as provided in our August 2018 conference call, with respect to adjusted EBITDAX and production, on lower capital spending |
| • | Increasing our fourth quarter operated drilling activity with plans to begin drilling two wells in Northern Louisiana in addition to running an operated rig in the Northwest STACK |
| • | Blue Mountain Midstream LLC (“Blue Mountain”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Riviera, established a stand-alone $200 million credit facility with current available capacity of approximately $72 million |
| • | Blue Mountain added 25,000 HP compression at Cryo I plant, expanding to its full 250 MMcf/d capacity |
| • | Blue Mountain raised EBITDA estimate for its Cryo I plant which, when full, will generate between $110-$125 million, and is exploring plant expansion |
"Since our spin-off from LINN three months ago, we continue to deliver on our commitment to maximize value for our shareholders through our strategy of capital discipline, returning capital to shareholders, and efficiently managing our assets. We continue to believe our shares are deeply undervalued and have maximized the use of cash on hand to return over $140 million of capital to shareholders through our ongoing share repurchase program and recently completed tender offer. Operationally, we outperformed guidance this quarter, on lower capital spending, which resulted in a much higher cash balance than was forecasted. We are excited to begin a drilling program in the fourth quarter on our high quality upstream asset base. Finally, we will continue to grow our rapidly expanding Blue Mountain midstream business and believe it could be a future high growth standalone business” said David Rottino, Riviera’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Successful Tender Offer
The Company continues to focus on enhancing shareholder value and finding ways to return capital to its shareholders and on September 24, 2018, it announced the intention to commence a tender offer to purchase $100 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company believes its shares are deeply undervalued, and this tender offer was an optimal use of available cash consistent with the Company’s strategy of maximizing value for shareholders. Funds affiliated with Fir Tree Capital Management LP, Elliott Associates, L.P., York Capital Management, L.P. and P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP, which, immediately prior to the settlement of the tender offer, collectively beneficially owned approximately 55% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and all of the Company’s directors and executive officers, did not participate in the tender offer and did not tender any of their common stock.
The tender offer was completed on October 23, 2018. The Company expanded the tender offer to repurchase an aggregate of 6,062,179 shares of common stock at a price of $22.00 per share for a total cost of approximately $133 million (excluding expenses of the tender offer). The shares acquired represented approximately 8% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of September 24, 2018.
Continuation of Share Repurchase Plan
On August 16, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. This program is intended to continue the Company’s commitment to shareholder returns, capital discipline, and the efficient management of the Company’s assets, including cash on hand.
In September 2018, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 354,656 shares of common stock at an average price of $21.24 per share for a total cost of approximately $8 million. In accordance with the Securities Exchange Commission’s regulations regarding issuer tender offers, the Company’s share repurchase program was suspended concurrent with the September 24, 2018 announcement of the intent to commence a tender offer as discussed above. At October 31, 2018, approximately $92 million was available for share repurchase under the program. The Company intends to resume share purchases under the program later this month.
Third Quarter 2018 Activity – Upstream Assets
Riviera’s production for the third quarter averaged approximately 302 MMcfe/d, which is 4% above the mid-point of our original guidance range for the quarter. The outperformance in production is mainly due to higher production from non-operated drilling in the NW Stack and lower downtime across our mature asset base. The Company’s LOE for the quarter was at the low end of the guidance range at approximately $23 million, representing a lifting cost of approximately $0.83 per Mcfe. The continual outperformance in production from our asset base and consistent lease operating expenses illustrates the predictability of our asset base, which currently has a low annual decline of approximately 10-12%. Additionally, we believe there is significant value in the upside development opportunities throughout our NW Stack, Arkoma, East Texas, and North Louisiana acreage positions.
NW STACK / North Louisiana Operated Drilling Program
The Company is initiating an operated drilling program in the NW STACK play starting in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company is encouraged by recent results from offset operators, including wells the Company participated in as a non-operator. With over 60,000 net acres in the Company’s core NW STACK focus area, Riviera believes extensive upside could be realized by delineating the play with an operated drilling program.
In addition to the NW STACK drilling program, the Company intends to drill two North Louisiana Middle Pool Sand locations beginning in December 2018. Based on the success of our predecessor on this acreage and recent offset performance, we believe excellent drilling locations remain on our North Louisiana acreage and we intend to exploit these high return opportunities.
Blue Mountain Midstream Business Updates
Throughput volumes at Blue Mountain’s cryogenic natural gas processing plant (“Cryo I plant”) ramped up significantly during the third quarter of 2018, with natural gas peak throughput more than doubling from 61 MMcf/d to 150 MMcf/d. On average for the third quarter, natural gas throughput was 123 MMcf/d and NGLs produced were 8,930 Bbl/d. A sustained throughput volume ramp up during the third quarter was limited by normal, one-time outages for ongoing compression installation and downstream tie-ins required to increase natural gas takeaway capacity, as well as coordinated scheduling of new production coming online to mitigate shut-in impacts. Also during the third quarter, Blue Mountain began commissioning its new amine facility, which is now operational.
2
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Blue Mountain commissioned 25,000 horsepower compression at its Cryo I plant, increasing its processing capacity to the full 250 MMcf/d. Commissioning, outages and coordinated scheduling of attachments are expected to have similar impacts to the throughout volume ramp up early in the fourth quarter. Management estimates average natural gas throughput to range between 130 MMcf/d and 150 MMcf/d for the fourth quarter of 2018. Management is confident in the continued volume growth in Oklahoma and has begun initial design and engineering of a second train to increase Blue Mountain’s processing capacity at its 80-acre site in Grady County, Oklahoma. Management continues its evaluation to determine the ultimate size and timing based on current production levels and latest customer production forecasts, along with ongoing business development activities.
Blue Mountain is looking to diversify its reach and service offerings through scalable growth platforms in Central Oklahoma and is in active discussions to develop oil and water gathering infrastructure in the Merge play. In addition, Blue Mountain is looking to extend its reach into new plays and is working closely with Riviera and other third-party producers to provide midstream solutions as they develop their Northwest STACK positions.
Strong Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under both its credit facilities, one at Riviera and the other at Blue Mountain. At quarter end, the Company had borrowing commitments of up to $425 million revolving credit facility at Riviera, and approximately $85 million at Blue Mountain, with available borrowing capacity of approximately $391 million at Riviera, and $72 million at Blue Mountain, inclusive of outstanding letters of credit. Riviera had a third quarter consolidated ending cash balance of approximately $157 million. In October 2018, Riviera used cash on hand to fund the $133 million tender offer, as well other working capital obligations. As of October 31, 2018, total borrowings under the Riviera credit facility were $20 million, and the Company has approximately $371 million of available borrowing capacity under the Riviera credit facility.
Completed Spin-Off of Riviera Resources, Inc. from LINN Energy, Inc.
As previously disclosed, the spin-off of Riviera Resources, Inc. from LINN (the “Spin-Off’) was completed on August 7, 2018. Following the Spin-Off, Riviera holds, directly or through its subsidiaries, substantially all of the assets of LINN, other than LINN’s 50% equity interest in Roan Resources LLC (“Roan”). The Spin-Off was effected through a pro rata distribution of all of the outstanding shares of Riviera’s common stock to LINN stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. on August 3, 2018, the record date for the Spin-Off. On August 7, 2018, the distribution date for the Spin-Off, each LINN stockholder received one share of Riviera common stock for each share of LINN common stock held by such stockholder on the record date.
Riviera has completed the tax analysis of the Spin-Off and does not anticipate any cash taxes will be owed by the Company as a result of the transaction.

Adjusted EBITDAX (Non-GAAP Measure)
The non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDAX, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, this non-GAAP measure should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDAX is a measure used by Company management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and for comparisons to the Company’s industry peers. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s financial results.
The following presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDAX:
