Exhibit 99.4
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission requires public companies such as Energen to reconcile Non-GAAP (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to related GAAP measures. After-tax Cash Flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Energen believes after-tax cash flow is relevant because it is a measure of cash available to fund the Company's capital expenditures and dividends and to service its debt.

This estimate is a "forward-looking statement" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
