Exhibit 99.4
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission requires public companies, such as Energen Corporation (the Company), to reconcile Non-GAAP (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to related GAAP measures. Net Income excluding the non-cash after-tax unproved leasehold write-off is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Energen believes that excluding it for comparative purposes better reflects financial performance of the company’s on-going operations.
