Midland, Texas, October 23, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) - Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE-CWEI) today reported its financial results for the third quarter 2014.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2014

Net income attributable to Company stockholders for the third quarter of 2014 (“3Q14”) was $27.4 million, or $2.25 per share, as compared to a net income of $11 million, or $0.90 per share, for the third quarter of 2013 (“3Q13”). Adjusted net income¹ (non-GAAP) for 3Q14 was $17.4 million, or $1.43 per share, as compared to $15.1 million, or $1.24 per share, for 3Q13. Cash flow from operations for 3Q14 was $86.7 million as compared to $71 million for 3Q13. EBITDA² (non-GAAP) for 3Q14 was $78.1 million as compared to $68.6 million for 3Q13.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income attributable to Company stockholders was $48.1 million, or $3.96 per share, as compared to a net loss of $31.3 million, or $2.57 per share, for the same period in 2013. Adjusted net income¹ (non-GAAP) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $52.1 million, or $4.28 per share, as compared to $23.4 million, or $1.92 per share, for the same period in 2013. Cash flow from operations for the nine-month period in 2014 was $211.7 million as compared to $153.9 million during the same period in 2013. EBITDA² (non-GAAP) for the nine-month period in 2014 was $236.5 million as compared to $184 million during the same period in 2013.

The key factors affecting the comparability of financial results for 3Q14 versus 3Q13 were:

• The Company sold all of its interests in certain non-core Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford assets in March 2014 and sold 95% of its Andrews County Wolfberry assets in April 2013. As a result, reported oil and gas production, revenues and operating costs for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not comparable to reported amounts for the same periods in 2013. See accompanying tables for additional information about the Company’s oil and gas production related to these sold assets.

• Oil and gas sales, excluding amortized deferred revenues, increased $3.7 million in 3Q14 versus 3Q13. Production variances accounted for a $16.6 million increase and price variances accounted for a $12.9 million decrease. Average realized oil prices were $90.73 per barrel in 3Q14 versus $103.75 per barrel in 3Q13, and average realized gas prices were $4.14 per Mcf in 3Q14 versus $3.49 per Mcf in 3Q13. Oil and gas sales in 3Q14 also include

$1.9 million of amortized deferred revenue versus $2.2 million in 3Q13 attributable to a volumetric production payment (“VPP”). Reported production and related average realized sales prices exclude volumes associated with the VPP.

• Before giving effect to the asset sales discussed above, oil, gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) production per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) increased 13% in 3Q14 as compared to 3Q13, with oil production increasing 17% to 11,304 barrels per day, gas production decreasing 2% to 16,304 Mcf per day, and NGL production increasing 15% to 1,565 barrels per day. Oil and NGL production accounted for approximately 83% of the Company's total BOE production in 3Q14 versus 80% in 3Q13. See accompanying tables for additional information about the Company’s oil and gas production.

• After giving effect to asset sales, total production per BOE increased 21% in 3Q14 as compared to 3Q13, with oil production increasing 2,456 barrels per day (28%), gas production decreasing 164 Mcf per day (1%) and NGL production increasing 239 barrels per day (18%).

• Gain on derivatives for 3Q14 was $9.6 million (net of a $0.2 million loss on settled contracts) versus a loss on derivatives in 3Q13 of $8.3 million (including a $0.5 million loss on settled contracts). See accompanying tables for additional information about the Company’s accounting for derivatives.

• General and administrative expenses were $0.8 million in 3Q14 versus $10 million in 3Q13. Changes in compensation expense attributable to the Company's APO reward plans accounted for a net decrease of $7.5 million ($5.7 million credit in 3Q14 versus $1.8 million expense in 3Q13). The credit in 3Q14 resulted from reversals of previously accrued compensation due primarily to lower product prices.

¹ See “Computation of Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP)” below for an explanation of how the Company calculates and uses adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and for a reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP) to adjusted net income(non-GAAP).

² See “Computation of EBITDA (non-GAAP)” below for an explanation of how the Company calculates and uses EBITDA (non-GAAP) and for a reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP).

Liquidity

As previously reported, the Company sold its interests in approximately 7,500 net acres in Ward and Winkler Counties, Texas for $29.3 million during 3Q14.  Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce bank debt.  At September 30, 2014, bank commitments under the Company’s revolving credit facility totaled $415 million, and outstanding advances totaled $32 million.  The Company had $377.1 million of availability under the facility after allowing for outstanding letters of credit of $5.9 million.

CLAYTON WILLIAMS ENERGY, INC. COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED NET INCOME (NON-GAAP) (Unaudited) (In thousands, except per share)
Adjusted net income is presented as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because of its wide acceptance by financial analysts, investors, debt holders, banks, rating agencies and other financial statement users as a tool for operating trends analysis and industry comparisons. Adjusted net income is not an alternative to net income (loss) presented in conformity with GAAP.
The Company defines adjusted net income as net income (loss) before changes in fair value of derivatives, abandonments and impairments of property and equipment, net (gain) loss on sales of assets and impairment of inventory, amortization of deferred revenue from volumetric production payment, certain non-cash and unusual items and the impact on taxes of the adjustments for each period presented.
The following table is a reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP):

CLAYTON WILLIAMS ENERGY, INC. COMPUTATION OF EBITDA (NON-GAAP) (Unaudited) (In thousands)
EBITDA is presented as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because of its wide acceptance by financial analysts, investors, debt holders, banks, rating agencies and other financial statement users as an indication of an entity's ability to meet its debt service obligations and to internally fund its exploration and development activities. EBITDA is not an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in conformity with GAAP.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, exploration costs, net (gain) loss on sales of assets and impairment of inventory, and all non-cash items in the Company's statements of operations, including depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of property and equipment, accretion of asset retirement obligations, amortization of deferred revenue from volumetric production payment, certain employee compensation and changes in fair value of derivatives.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA:

______

(a) Oil and gas sales includes $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of amortized deferred revenue attributable to a volumetric production payment (“VPP”) transaction effective March 1, 2012. The calculation of average realized sales prices excludes production of 25,122 barrels of oil and 10,987 Mcf of gas for the three months ended September 30, 2014, 28,793 barrels of oil and 8,550 Mcf of gas for the three months ended September 30, 2013, 77,543 barrels of oil and 33,608 Mcf of gas for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 88,897 barrels of oil and 23,589 Mcf of gas for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 associated with the VPP.

(b) Hedging gains/losses are only included in the determination of the Company's average realized prices if the underlying derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges under applicable accounting standards. The Company did not designate any of its 2014 or 2013 derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. This means that the Company's derivatives for 2014 and 2013 have been marked-to-market through its statement of operations as other income/expense instead of through accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's balance sheet. This also means that all realized gains/losses on these derivatives are reported in other income/expense instead of as a component of oil and gas sales.
