Definitions of Oil and Gas Terms and Conventions Used Herein
Within this Report, the following oil and gas terms and conventions
have specific meanings: "Bbl" means a standard barrel containing 42 United
States gallons; "BOE" means a barrel of oil equivalent and is a standard
convention used to express oil and gas volumes on a comparable oil equivalent
basis; "Btu" means British thermal unit and is a measure of the amount of energy
required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit;
"LIBOR" means London Interbank Offered Rate, which is a market rate of interest;
"MMBtu" means one million Btu's; "MBbl" means one thousand Bbls; "MBOE" means
one thousand BOE; "Mcf" means one thousand cubic feet and is a measure of
natural gas volume; "MMcf" means one million cubic feet; "NGL" means natural gas
liquid; "NYMEX" means The New York Mercantile Exchange; "proved reserves" mean
the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which
geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be
recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and
operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is
made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only
by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future
conditions.
(i) Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of
a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling
and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and (B) the
immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably
judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and
engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest
known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of
the reservoir.
(ii) Reserves which can be produced economically through application
of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
"proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the
engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.
(iii) Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: (A)
oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately
as "indicated additional reserves"; (B) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas
liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of
uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors; (C)
crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur in undrilled
prospects; and (D) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be
recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.
Gas equivalents are determined under the relative energy content
method by using the ratio of 6.0 Mcf of gas to 1.0 Bbl of oil or NGL.
With respect to information on the working interest in wells,
drilling locations and acreage, "net" wells, drilling locations and acres are
determined by multiplying "gross" wells, drilling locations and acres by Pioneer
Natural Resources Company's working interest in such wells, drilling locations
or acres. Unless otherwise specified, wells, drilling locations and acreage
statistics quoted herein represent gross wells, drilling locations or acres;
and, all currency amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003
(Unaudited)
NOTE A. Organization and Nature of Operations
Pioneer Natural Resources Company (the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange. The Company is an oil and gas exploration and production company with
ownership interests in oil and gas properties located in the United States,
Argentina, Canada, Gabon, South Africa and Tunisia.
NOTE B. Basis of Presentation
Presentation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2003 and for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 include all adjustments and
accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring accrual adjustments, which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These
interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These
consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Adoption of SFAS 143. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 amended Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 19, "Financial Accounting and Reporting by
Oil and Gas Producing Companies" ("SFAS 19") to require that the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in
which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Under
the provisions of SFAS 143, asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part
of the carrying value of the long-lived asset. Under the provisions of SFAS 19,
asset retirement obligations were recognized using a cost-accumulation approach.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 143, the Company recorded significant asset
retirement obligations through the unit-of-production method, except for asset
retirement obligations that were assumed in business combinations, which were
recorded at their estimated fair values on their dates of acquisition.
The adoption of SFAS 143 resulted in a January 1, 2003 cumulative effect
adjustment to record (i) a $13.8 million increase in the carrying values of
proved properties, (ii) a $26.3 million decrease in accumulated depreciation,
depletion, and amortization of property, plant and equipment, (iii) a $1.0
million increase in current abandonment liabilities, (iv) a $22.4 million
increase in noncurrent abandonment liabilities and (v) a $1.3 million increase
in deferred income tax liabilities. The net impact of items (i) through (v) was
to record a gain of $15.4 million, net of tax, as a cumulative effect adjustment
of a change in accounting principle in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations upon adoption on January 1, 2003. See Note E for additional
information regarding the Company's asset retirement obligations.
The following pro forma data summarizes the Company's net income and net
income per share as if the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 143 on
January 1, 2002, including an associated pro forma asset retirement obligation
on that date of $60.2 million:

Adoption of SFAS 145. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical
Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). Prior to SFAS 145, gains or losses on the early
extinguishment of debt were required to be classified in a company's periodic
consolidated statements of operations as extraordinary gains or losses, net of
associated income taxes, after the determination of income or loss from
continuing operations. SFAS 145 requires, except in the case of events or
transactions of a highly unusual and infrequent nature, that gains or losses
from the early extinguishment of debt be classified, on both a prospective and
retrospective basis, as components of a company's income or loss from continuing
operations. The adoption of SFAS 145 did not affect the Company's financial
position or liquidity. Under the provisions of SFAS 145, gains or losses from
the early extinguishment of debt are recognized in the Company's consolidated
statements of operations, except in the case of events or transactions of a
highly unusual and infrequent nature, as components of other income or other
expense and are included in the determination of the income (loss) from
continuing operations. Accordingly, extraordinary losses from the early
extinguishment of debt of $2.8 million and $19.5 million recorded during the
three month periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2002, respectively, have
been reclassified to other expense.
Stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation granted under it's the long- term incentive plan using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.
Stock-based compensation expenses associated with option grants were not
recognized in the net income of the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, as all options granted had exercise prices equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the dates of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation" to
stock-based employee compensation:

NOTE C. Asset Acquisition
On March 28, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 25 percent working
interest that it did not already own in the Falcon field, the Harrier field and
surrounding satellite prospects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico for $119.4
million, including $113.1 million of cash paid upon closing, $1.7 million of
asset retirement obligations assumed and $4.6 million of closing adjustments.
NOTE D. Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value hedges. The Company monitors capital markets and trends to
identify opportunities to enter into and terminate interest rate swaps with the
objective of minimizing costs of capital. During February 2003, the Company
entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of the fair value
of its 9-5/8 percent senior notes. Under the terms of the interest rate swap
contracts, the Company was to receive a fixed annual rate of 9-5/8 percent on
$250 million notional amount and agreed to pay the counterparties a variable
rate on the notional amount equal to the six-month London Interbank Offered
Rate, reset semi-annually, plus a weighted average margin of 566.4 basis points.
During May 2003, the Company terminated the 9-5/8 percent senior notes interest
rate swap contracts for $11.4 million of cash proceeds. The cash proceeds were
comprised of $2.0 million of settlement gains attributable to the period from
February 2003 through the date of termination and $9.4 million attributable to
the fair value, on the date of termination, of the remaining term of the
interest rate swap contracts. The $9.4 million of proceeds attributable to the
fair value of the remaining term of the interest rate swap contracts is included
in "Proceeds from disposition of assets" in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003.
As of June 30, 2003, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets included $32.8 million of
incremental liability attributable to unamortized deferred hedge gains and
losses realized from fair value hedge agreements terminated during 2003, 2002
and 2001. The amortization of deferred hedge gains reduced the Company's
reported interest expense by $6.0 million and $2.7 million during the three
month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and by $11.9 million
and $5.6 million during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

The terms of the fair value hedges described above perfectly matched the
terms of the underlying senior notes. The Company did not exclude any component
of the derivatives' gains or losses from the measurement of hedge effectiveness.
Cash flow hedges. The Company utilizes, from time to time, commodity swap
and collar contracts to (i) reduce the effect of price volatility on the
commodities the Company produces and sells, (ii) support the Company's annual
capital budgeting and expenditure plans and (iii) reduce commodity price risk
associated with certain capital projects. The Company has also utilized interest
rate swap agreements to reduce the effect of interest rate volatility on the
Company's variable rate line of credit indebtedness and forward currency
exchange agreements to reduce the effect of U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar
exchange rate volatility.
Oil. All material sales contracts governing the Company's oil production
have been tied directly or indirectly to the New York Mercantile Exchange
prices. The following table sets forth the Company's outstanding oil hedge
contracts and the weighted average NYMEX prices for those contracts as of June

Natural gas liquids prices. During the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not enter into any NGL hedge contracts.
Gas prices. The Company employs a policy of hedging a portion of its gas
production based on the index price upon which the gas is actually sold, or
based on NYMEX prices if NYMEX prices are highly correlated with the index
prices, in order to mitigate the basis risk between NYMEX prices and actual
index prices. The following table sets forth the Company's outstanding gas hedge

Hedge ineffectiveness and excluded items. During the three month periods
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized other expense of $503
thousand and $268 thousand, respectively, related to the ineffective portions of
its cash flow hedging instruments. During the six month periods ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, the Company recognized other expenses of $2.3 million and $346
thousand, respectively, related to the ineffective portion of its cash flow
hedging instruments.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") - deferred hedge
gains (losses), net. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, "AOCI - deferred
hedge gains (losses), net" represented net deferred losses of $152.8 million and
net deferred gains of $9.6 million, respectively. The "AOCI - deferred hedge
gains (losses), net" balance as of June 30, 2003 was comprised of $188.3 million
of unrealized deferred hedge losses on the effective portions of open commodity
cash flow hedges and $35.5 million of net deferred gains on terminated cash flow
hedges. The decrease in "AOCI - deferred hedge gains (losses), net" during the
six months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily attributable to increases in future
commodity prices relative to the commodity prices stipulated in the hedge
agreements, offset by the reclassification of deferred hedge losses to net
income as derivatives matured by their terms. The unrealized deferred hedge
losses associated with open cash flow hedges remain subject to market price
fluctuations until the positions are either settled under the terms of the hedge
agreements or terminated prior to settlement. The net deferred gains on
terminated cash flow hedges are fixed.
During the twelve month period ending June 30, 2004, the Company expects
to reclassify $105.4 million of net deferred losses associated with open cash
flow hedges and $12.3 million of net deferred gains on terminated cash flow
hedges from "AOCI - deferred hedge gains (losses), net" to oil and gas revenue.
The following table sets forth the scheduled reclassifications of
deferred hedge gains and losses on terminated cash flow hedges that will be
recognized in the Company's future oil and gas revenues:

losses due during each of the third and fourth quarters of 2003, (ii) $1.2
million of deferred losses due during 2004, and (iii) $209 thousand of deferred
gains to be received during 2005.

NOTE F. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal actions. The Company is party to various legal actions incidental to
its business, including, but not limited to, the proceedings described below.
The majority of these lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising from
oil and gas leases and ownership interest disputes. The Company believes that
the ultimate disposition of these legal actions will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, capital
resources or future results of operations. The Company will continue to evaluate
its litigation matters on a quarter-by- quarter basis and will adjust its
litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect the then current status of
litigation.
Alford. The Company is party to a 1993 class action lawsuit filed in the
26th Judicial District Court of Stevens County, Kansas by two classes of royalty
owners, one for each of the Company's gathering systems connected to the
Company's Satanta gas plant. The case was relatively inactive for several years.
In early 2000, the plaintiffs amended their pleadings to add claims regarding
the field compression installed by the Company in the 1990's. The lawsuit now
has two material claims. First, the plaintiffs assert that the expenses related
to the field compression are a "cost of production" for which plaintiffs cannot
be charged their proportionate share under the applicable oil and gas leases.
Second, the plaintiffs claim they are entitled to 100 percent of the value of
the helium extracted at the Company's Satanta gas plant. If the plaintiffs were
to prevail on the above two claims in their entirety, it is possible that the
Company's liability could reach $32.5 million, plus prejudgment interest.
However, the Company believes it has valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims, has
paid the plaintiffs properly under their respective oil and gas leases, and
intends to vigorously defend itself.
The Company believes the cost of the field compression is not a "cost of
production", but is rather an expense of transporting the gas to the Company's
Satanta gas plant for processing, where valuable hydrocarbon liquids and helium
are extracted from the gas. The plaintiffs benefit from such extractions and the
Company believes that charging the plaintiffs with their proportionate share of
such transportation and processing expenses is consistent with Kansas law. The
15
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003
(Unaudited)
Company has also vigorously defended against plaintiffs' claims to 100 percent
of the value of the helium extracted, and believes that in accordance with
applicable law, it has properly accounted to the plaintiffs for their fractional
royalty share of the helium under the specified royalty clauses of the
respective oil and gas leases.
The factual evidence in the case was presented to the 26th Judicial
District Court without a jury in December 2001. Oral arguments were heard by the
court in April 2002, and although the court has not yet entered a judgment or
findings, it could do so at any time. The Company strongly denies the existence
of any material underpayment to plaintiffs and believes it presented strong
evidence at trial to support its positions. The Company has not yet determined
the amount of damages, if any, that would be payable if the lawsuit was
determined adversely to the Company. Although the amount of any resulting
liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations for the quarterly reporting period in which such liability is
recorded, the Company does not expect that any such liability will have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position as a whole or on
its liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations.
Kansas ad valorem tax. The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 ("NGPA") allows
a "severance, production or similar" tax to be included as an add-on, over and
above the maximum lawful price for gas. Based on a Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") ruling that Kansas ad valorem tax was such a tax, one of the
Company's predecessor entities collected the Kansas ad valorem tax in addition
to the otherwise maximum lawful price. The FERC's ruling was appealed to the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ("D.C. Circuit"),
which held in June 1988 that the FERC failed to provide a reasoned basis for its
findings and remanded the case to the FERC for further consideration.
On December 1, 1993, the FERC issued an order reversing its prior ruling,
but limiting the effect of its decision to Kansas ad valorem taxes for sales
made on or after June 28, 1988. The FERC clarified the effective date of its
decision by an order dated May 18, 1994. The order clarified that the effective
date applies to tax bills rendered after June 28, 1988, not sales made on or
after that date. Numerous parties filed appeals on the FERC's action in the D.C.
Circuit. Various gas producers challenged the FERC's orders on two grounds: (1)
that the Kansas ad valorem tax, properly understood, does qualify for
reimbursement under the NGPA; and (2) the FERC's ruling should, in any event,
have been applied prospectively. Other parties challenged the FERC's orders on
the grounds that the FERC's ruling should have been applied retroactively to
December 1, 1978, the date of the enactment of the NGPA and producers should
have been required to pay refunds accordingly.
The D.C. Circuit issued its decision on August 2, 1996, which holds that
producers must make refunds of all Kansas ad valorem tax collected with respect
to production since October 4, 1983, as opposed to June 28, 1988. Petitions for
rehearing were denied on November 6, 1996. Various gas producers subsequently
filed a petition for writ of certiori with the United States Supreme Court
seeking to limit the scope of the potential refunds to tax bills rendered on or
after June 28, 1988 (the effective date originally selected by the FERC).
Williams Natural Gas Company filed a cross-petition for certiori seeking to
impose refund liability back to December 1, 1978. Both petitions were denied on
May 12, 1997.
The Company and other producers filed petitions for adjustment with the
FERC on June 24, 1997. The Company was seeking waiver or set-off from FERC with
respect to that portion of the refund associated with (i) non-recoupable
royalties, (ii) non-recoupable Kansas property taxes based, in part, upon the
higher prices collected, and (iii) interest for all periods. On September 10,
1997, FERC denied this request, and on October 10, 1997, the Company and other
producers filed a request for rehearing. Pipelines were given until November 10,
1997 to file claims on refunds sought from producers and refund claims totaling
approximately $30.2 million were made against the Company. Through June 30,
2003, the Company has settled $21.7 million of the original claim amounts. As of
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had on deposit $10.6 million,
including accrued interest, in an escrow account and had corresponding
16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
obligations for the remaining claim recorded in other current liabilities in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company believes that the escrowed
amounts, plus accrued interest, will be sufficient to settle the remaining
claims.
NOTE G. Income Per Share Before Cumulative Effect of Change in
Accounting Principle
Basic income per share before cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle is computed by dividing income before cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. The computation of diluted net income per share before
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
that are dilutive to net income were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings
of the Company.
The following table is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted
average shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003 and 2002:

common stock were outstanding but not included in the computations of
diluted income per share for the three month periods ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively, and common stock options to purchase 1,368,612
shares and 1,971,461 shares of common stock were outstanding but not
included in the computations of diluted income per share for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively, because the exercise
prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the
common shares and would have been anti- dilutive to the computations.
(b) On May 15, 2003, the Company awarded 4,425 shares of restricted stock in
partial payment of director fees. These director fee awards vest on a
quarterly pro-rata basis during the year ended May 15, 2004. During the
three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company issued 9,500 restricted
shares of the Company's common stock to key employees. The restricted
shares issued to the key employees vest on the third anniversaries of their
issuances.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The information included in Item 2 and Item 3 of this document includes
forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements, and the business prospects of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer" or the "Company"), are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among other things, volatility of oil and gas prices, product supply
and demand, competition, international operations and associated international
political and economic instability, government regulation or action, litigation,
the costs and results of drilling and operations, the Company's ability to
replace reserves or implement its business plans, access to and cost of capital,
uncertainties about estimates of reserves, quality of technical data and
environmental risks, acts of war and terrorism. These and other risks are
described in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K that is available
from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Financial and Operating Performance
The Company's financial and operating performance for the second quarter
of 2003 was highlighted by continued production growth, primarily associated
with a full quarter of production from the Company's deepwater Gulf of Mexico
Canyon Express gas project and the Company-operated Falcon field, which is the
second of five significant projects that the Company plans to bring on
production through early 2004. The production growth realized by the Company
together with favorable worldwide oil and North American gas prices have
resulted in significant increases in Pioneer's net income and net cash provided
by operating activities during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, as compared to the same periods of 2002.
The Company reported net income of $77.2 million ($.65 per diluted share)
and $161.4 million ($1.36 per diluted share) for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to net income of $11.1 million
($.10 per share) and $9.2 million ($.08 per share) for the same periods of 2002.
The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $15.4
million ($.13 per share) benefit from the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle, net of tax, associated with the Company's adoption of
Statement of Accounting Principles No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). See Notes B and E of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" for additional information
regarding the Company's adoption of new accounting pronouncements.
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $189.9
million and $324.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, respectively, representing increases of $99.3 million, or 110 percent, and
$183.6 million, or 131 percent, over the net cash provided by operating
activities of the same respective periods of 2002. Net cash provided by
operating activities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002
was $90.6 million and $140.6 million, respectively. During the three months
ended June 30, 2003, the Company used its net cash provided by operating
activities, together with proceeds from the disposition of assets, to fund
$134.3 million of additions to oil and gas properties and to repay $57.2 million
of long-term debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company used
its net cash provided by operating activities, together with proceeds from the
disposition of assets and borrowings under the Company's corporate credit
facility, to fund $387.1 million of additions to oil and gas properties.
Drilling Highlights
During the first six months of 2003, the Company incurred $395.1 million
in capital expenditures including $124.7 million for development activities,
$140.7 million for exploration activities and $129.7 million on acquisitions.
The majority of the Company's development and exploration expenditures was spent
on drilling wells, seismic data and infrastructure for the Company's significant
development projects. The primary component of the acquisition expenditures was
the Company's purchase of the 25 percent working interest it did not already own
in the Falcon field, the Harrier field and surrounding satellite prospects
during March 2003. The following tables summarize the Company's development
drilling and exploration and extension drilling activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2003:

Domestic. The Company spent $301.4 million during the first six months of
2003 on acquisition, drilling and seismic activities in the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf
Coast, Permian Basin and Mid-Continent areas of the United States.
Gulf of Mexico/Gulf Coast Area. In the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf Coast area,
the Company spent $206.1 million of acquisition, drilling and seismic capital.
In the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Company completed its Falcon field
development in mid-March 2003 and, as discussed above, purchased the remaining
25 percent working interest in Falcon and related prospects that the Company did
not already own. The Company has two major development projects that remain in
progress as of June 30, 2003:
o Devils Tower - The Dominion-operated Devils Tower development project
in Mississippi Canyon was sanctioned in 2001 as a spar development
project with the owners leasing a spar from a third party for the
life of the field. The hull of the spar was constructed in Indonesia
and was successfully transported to the United States during the
first quarter of 2003 where the topsides will be added during the
third quarter of 2003. The spar has slots for eight dry tree wells
and up to three subsea tie-back wells and is capable of handling 60
MBbls of oil per day and 60 MMcf of gas per day. Eight Devils Tower
wells and one subsea tie-back well have been drilled and are awaiting
completion, while a second subsea tie-back development well is
planned to be drilled during the fourth quarter of 2003. Devils Tower
production is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2004 and
will be phased in as the wells are individually completed from the
spar. Pioneer holds a 25 percent working interest in the projects.
The Company also has plans to drill another exploratory well by the
end of 2003 that would be completed as a third subsea tie-back well,
if successful.
o Harrier - The Company discovered the Harrier field during the first
quarter of 2003, encountering over 350 feet of gas-bearing sand in
a single zone. Pioneer operates the block with a 100 percent
working interest, subsequent to the acquisition discussed above, and
26
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
is developing the field as a single-well subsea tie-back to the
Falcon field facilities which were designed to be expandable. To
accommodate incremental Harrier field production and potential
throughput associated with planned exploration, an additional
parallel pipeline connecting the Falcon field to the Falcon platform
on the Gulf of Mexico shelf is being added, doubling its capacity to
400 MMcf of gas per day. The Company expects first gas production
from Harrier field in early 2004 with combined daily gas production
from Falcon field and Harrier field expected to reach 275 MMcf per
day.
The Devils Tower and Harrier field projects were impacted by recent
severe weather and strong currents in the Gulf of Mexico. Although the severe
weather and strong currents did not result in meaningful change to the projects'
schedules, future weather-related delays, if extensive, may result in
unavoidable schedule changes.
In addition to the development projects described above in the deepwater
Gulf of Mexico, the Company drilled two exploratory dry holes in the Falcon area
during the first quarter and plans to drill two additional exploration prospects
later this year in conjunction with the completion of the Harrier well. If
successful, these Falcon area prospects could also be tied back to the Falcon
field to utilize excess pipeline and processing capacity. Additionally, the
Company controls 32 blocks in the area.
During January 2003, the Company announced a joint exploration agreement
with Woodside for a two-year drilling program over the shallow-water Texas shelf
region of the Gulf of Mexico. Under the agreement, Woodside has taken a 50
percent working interest in 47 offshore exploration blocks operated by the
Company. The agreement covers eight prospects and 19 leads and includes five
exploratory wells to be drilled in 2003 and three in 2004. Most of the wells to
be drilled under the agreement will target gas plays below 15,000 feet. The
eight wells to be drilled by the parties in 2003 and 2004 are on prospects
generated and leased by the Company since 1997. The first two wells under this
joint agreement were unsuccessful. The third well is in progress and the results
are expected to be known in August 2003. Additionally, the Company and Woodside
will evaluate shallower gas prospects on the Gulf of Mexico shelf on other
blocks covered by the leases for potential inclusion in the drilling program.
In the onshore Gulf Coast region of the United States, the Company has
concentrated its drilling efforts in the Pawnee field in South Texas, where
three development wells and one extension well were successfully completed
during the first half of 2003. The Company plans to drill an additional four
development wells and two extension wells during the remainder of 2003.
Alaska. In Alaska, the Company spent $33.4 million during the first six
months of 2003 to drill three exploration wells on the NW Kuparuk prospect to
test a possible extension of the productive sands in the Kuparuk River field
into the shallow waters offshore. Although all three of the wells found the
sands filled with oil, they were too thin to be considered commercial. The wells
also encountered thick sections of oil-bearing Jurassic-aged sands. The first
well flowed at a sustained rate of approximately 1,300 barrels per day. The test
results are currently being evaluated to determine the commercial viability of
the Jurassic reservoir.
Permian Basin area. In the Permian Basin area, the Company spent $34.1
million during the first six months of 2003 primarily on development drilling in
the Spraberry field. The Company plans to drill approximately 150 wells in the
Spraberry field during 2003.
Mid-Continent area. I n the Mid-Continent area, the Company spent $27.8
million during the first six months of 2003, primarily in the West Panhandle
field where the Company plans to drill approximately 100 wells this year. The
Company also plans to drill approximately 30 Hugoton wells later this year.
Argentina. In Argentina, the Company spent $26.1 million of acquisition,
drilling and seismic capital during the first six months of 2003. The majority
of costs was spent to drill extension and development wells targeting oil
reserves in the Neuquen Basin.
27
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
Canada. In Canada, the Company spent $36.7 million of acquisition,
drilling and seismic capital during the first six months of 2003, primarily in
the Chinchaga, Martin Creek and Ladyfern areas that are only accessible for
drilling during the winter months. Pioneer tested several shallow gas plays
finding multiple gas-bearing zones based on open-hole logs and mud log shows in
several wells. However, unseasonably warm weather resulted in a very short
drilling season in Canada, and approximately eight of the wells drilled will
have to be tested during next year's winter drilling season. Three wells were
drilled to test the Slave Point formation in the Ladyfern field area. One well
was unsuccessful and two wells were unsuccessful in the Slave Point formation,
but are being evaluated for uphole potential in another formation.
Africa. In Africa, the Company spent $30.9 million of acquisition,
drilling and seismic capital during the first six months of 2003 in South
Africa, Tunisia and Gabon.
South Africa. In South Africa, the Company spent $19.6 million of capital
to drill three exploratory wells and to continue development of its Sable field
that is expected to have first oil production during August 2003. The production
delay to August 2003 is primarily attributable to the owner of the floating
production facility being leased by Pioneer encountering unexpected problems
with the new compression equipment installed on the facility, resulting in
extensive reconditioning. Oil sales are expected by late in the third quarter as
soon as sufficient inventory has been built to offload oil for the first shuttle
delivery to onshore facilities. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company
drilled its three 2003 planned exploratory wells in South Africa, none of which
were commercial.
Tunisia. In Tunisia, the Company spent $9.7 million of capital during the
first six months of 2003. The Company began development activities on its Adam
discovery which began production during the second quarter of 2003. First sales
are expected during the fourth quarter. The Company also drilled an exploration
well on its Jorf permit which was unsuccessful.
The Company drilled two exploration wells on its Anadarko-operated
Anaguid permit during the second quarter of 2003. The CEM-1 encountered 95 feet
of net gas and condensate pay in upper Ordovician sandstones. In a drill stem
test, the unstimulated well flowed at a rate of 3,600 Mcf per day and 540 Bbls
per day. A second well, the SEA-1, encountered 52 feet of net pay in the same
section. Both wells have been suspended, pending the evaluation of commercial
development plans. On the Borj El Khadra block, Pioneer is participating in the
Adam 2 development well, the first development well in the new 860 square
kilometer Adam concession. The discovery well, Adam 1, has been producing
through nearby facilities at the Oued Zar field at a gross stabilized rate of
over 3,500 Bbls per day since late May 2003. Following the completion of the
Adam 2 well, the Company plans to drill the Hawa exploration well in the
southern portion of the Adam concession where Pioneer has a 28 percent working
interest.
Gabon. In Gabon, the Company spent $1.6 million during the first half of
2003. The Company is awaiting final government approval of renegotiated terms in
Gabon. Upon formal approval of terms, the Company expects to commence a drilling
program early in 2004 as part of its development plan for the project.
Results of Operations
Oil and gas revenues. Revenues from oil and gas operations totaled $340.0
million and $621.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, respectively, compared to $172.4 million and $338.0 million for the same
respective periods of 2002. The increase in oil and gas revenues during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods
of 2002, was principally attributable to initial sales from the Company's
deepwater Gulf of Mexico Canyon Express and Falcon field gas projects, increased
gas sales in Argentina and to commodity price increases. As expected, declines
in Canadian production partially offset the above described increases to oil and
gas revenues.
The following table provides the Company's volumes and average reported
prices, including the results of hedging activities, for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

On a BOE basis, worldwide average daily production increased by 45
percent and 31 percent during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002. During the second
quarter of 2003 as compared to the second quarter of 2002, worldwide oil
production increased by four percent; NGL production increased by four percent;
and gas production, augmented by a full quarter of production from both the
Canyon Express and Falcon field gas projects, increased by 83 percent. During
the first half of 2003, as compared to the first half of 2002, worldwide oil
production declined by two percent; NGL production increased by three percent;
and gas production, augmented by six months of production from Canyon Express
and production since March from the Falcon field, increased by 60 percent. Per
BOE average daily production, on a second-quarter to second-quarter comparison,
increased by 56 percent in the United States and by 32 percent in Argentina,
while production in Canada decreased by 13 percent. During the first half of
2003 as compared to the first half of 2002, per BOE average daily production
increased by 41 percent in the United States and by 11 percent in Argentina and
declined by 12 percent in Canada.
Third quarter 2003 production is expected to average 150,000 to 165,000
BOE per day and total 2003 production is expected to range from 55 million to 60
million BOE.
With a full year of production from the new fields brought on in 2003 and
the addition of Harrier field and Devils Tower production in early 2004, the
Company expects 2004 production to range from 63 million to 75 million BOE.
As discussed above, oil and gas revenues for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 were positively impacted by commodity price
increases. Comparing the second quarter of 2003 to the same period in 2002, the
Company's average worldwide oil price increased three percent, average worldwide
NGL prices increased 23 percent and average worldwide gas prices increased 65
percent. Comparing the first six months of 2003 to the same period in 2002, the
29
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
Company's average worldwide oil price increased seven percent, average worldwide
NGL prices increased 57 percent and average worldwide gas prices increased 64
percent.
Hedging activities. The oil and gas prices that the Company reports are
based on the market price received for the commodities adjusted by the results
of the Company's cash flow hedging activities. The Company utilizes commodity
derivative instruments (swap and collar contracts) in order to (i) reduce the
effect of the volatility of price changes on the commodities the Company
produces and sells, (ii) support the Company's annual capital budgeting and
expenditure plans and (iii) lock in prices to protect the economics related to
certain capital projects. During the three and six months periods ended June 30,
2003, the Company's commodity price hedges decreased oil and gas revenues by
$22.6 million and $73.0 million, respectively, as compared to increasing oil and
gas revenues by $3.9 million and $36.2 million during the same periods in 2002.
See Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 1.
Financial Statements" for specific information regarding the Company's hedging
activities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.
During July 2003, the Company entered into new oil swap contracts for
2,000 Bbls per day for September 2003 with average per Bbl fixed prices of
$30.18 and gas swap contracts for 180,000 Mcf per day for the period of
September 2003 through December 2003with average per Mcf fixed prices of $4.85.
Gain on disposition of assets. During the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded $104 thousand and $1.5 million,
respectively, of net gains on the disposition of assets, as compared to $1.1
million and $1.0 million, respectively, of net gains on the disposition of
assets during the same periods in 2002.
Production costs. During the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, total production costs per BOE averaged $4.80 and $5.13, respectively,
representing a decrease of $.18 per BOE (four percent) and an increase of $.08
per BOE (two percent), respectively, as compared to production costs per BOE of
$4.98 and $5.05 during the same respective periods of 2002. Lease operating
expenses and workover expenses represent the components of production costs for
which the Company has management control, while production and ad valorem taxes
and field fuel expenses are directly related to commodity price changes.
The decrease in production costs per BOE during the three months ended
June 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, is primarily due to
decreases in workover costs, ad valorem taxes and production taxes, partially
offset by an increase in field fuel expense as a result of higher gas prices and
increased lease operating expenses. As compared to the first half of 2002, the
increase in production costs per BOE during the first half of 2003 was due to
increases in production taxes and field fuel expenses as a result of higher gas
prices, partially offset by lower lease operating expense, ad valorem taxes and
workover costs.

Based on market-quoted commodity prices during July 2003, the Company
expects third quarter 2003 production costs to average $4.75 to $5.15 per BOE.
The potential increase is primarily due to higher per BOE lease operating
expenses associated with forecasted Sable production and an increase in expected
workover costs.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense. The Company's total
depletion, depreciation and amortization expense per BOE was $6.95 and $6.55 for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared
to $5.10 and $5.08 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002.
Depletion expense per BOE, the largest component of depletion, depreciation and
amortization expense, was $6.78 and $6.37 per BOE during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to $4.89 and $4.87 per
BOE during the same respective periods of 2002. The increase in per BOE
depletion expense is primarily due to increases in higher cost-basis deepwater
Gulf of Mexico production volumes.
The Company expects third quarter 2003 depletion, depreciation and
amortization expense to average $6.90 to $7.30 per BOE. The potential increase
is principally attributable to higher cost-basis Sable production volumes.
Exploration, abandonments, geological and geophysical costs. Exploration,
abandonments, geological and geophysical costs were $47.0 million and $82.9
million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, as compared to $17.9 million and $39.0 million during the same
respective periods in 2002. The in exploration, abandonments, geological and
geophysical costs during the six months of 2003 as compared to the first six
months of 2002 is primarily due to increased exploration/extension drilling in
the Gulf of Mexico, South Africa, Canada and Tunisia and increases in seismic
acquisitions that will contribute to future exploration activities. During the
six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company completed and evaluated 73
exploration/extension wells, 35 of which were successfully completed as
discoveries. During the same period in 2002, the Company completed and evaluated
18 exploration/extension wells, 14 of which were successfully completed as
discoveries.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
The Company expects third quarter 2003 exploration and abandonment
expense to be $25 million to $50 million, dependent largely on exploratory
drilling results and expected seismic expenditures.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 were $13.6 million and
$29.1 million, respectively, as compared to $10.8 million and $22.7 million
during the same respective periods in 2002. The increases of $2.8 million and
$6.4 million in general and administrative expense for the respective three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods in 2002,
are primarily due to increases in performance related compensation costs.
The Company expects third quarter 2003 general and administrative expense
to be approximately $13 million to $15 million.
Accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations. During the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, accretion of discount on asset
retirement obligations was $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The
provisions of SFAS 143 require that the accretion of discount on asset
retirement obligations be classified in the consolidated statement of operations
separate from interest expense. Prior to 2003 and the adoption of SFAS 143, the
Company classified accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations in
interest expense. The Company's interest expenses during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2002 include $632 thousand and $1.3 million,
respectively, of accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations that was
calculated prior to the adoption of SFAS 143 based on asset retirement
obligations recorded in purchased business combinations. See "Cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle" and Notes B and E of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" for additional
information regarding the Company's adoption of SFAS 143.
The Company expects third quarter 2003 accretion of discount on asset
retirement obligations to be approximately $1 million.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $23.8 million and $46.3 million
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as
compared to $24.7 million and $51.1 million for the same respective periods in
2002. The decreases of $918 thousand (or four percent) and $4.8 million (or nine
percent) in interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods of 2002, are
primarily attributable to interest savings from the repayment of a higher
yielding capital cost obligation and a portion of the Company's 9-5/8 percent
and 8-7/8 percent senior notes, lower underlying market rates of interest, a
12.5 basis point decrease on May 16, 2003 in the Eurodollar margin component of
the interest rate incurred under the Company's $575.0 million corporate credit
facility, the aforementioned separate classification of accretion of discount on
asset retirement obligations and increases of $503 thousand and $1.5 million in
interest rate hedge gains, respectively. Partially offsetting the decreases in
interest expense described above were reductions of $1.5 million and $1.7
million, respectively, in interest capitalized during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same respective periods in 2002.
The Company expects third quarter 2003 interest expense to be $23 million
to $25 million.
Other expenses. Other expenses for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2003 were $5.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, as compared to
$7.7 million and $16.0 million for the same respective periods in 2002. The $2.1
million decrease in other expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2003,
as compared to the same period of 2002, is primarily attributable to a $2.8
million loss recognized from the early extinguishment of higher yielding senior
notes in 2002. The $5.2 million decrease in other expense during the six months
ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same period of 2002, is primarily
attributable to a $6.5 million decrease in foreign exchange transaction and
remeasurement charges and a $2.8 million loss recognized from the early
extinguishment of higher yielding senior notes in 2002, partially offset by a
$2.0 million increase in the ineffective portions of commodity price hedge
losses. See "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle" presented
below for information regarding the classification of 2002 extraordinary losses
on the early extinguishment of debt.

Income tax provisions. During the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2003, the Company recognized income tax provisions of $2.6 million and $4.9
million, respectively, that were primarily attributable to Argentine taxable
income and a $600 thousand United States alternative minimum tax provision.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, the Company
recognized income tax provisions of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, of which
amounts $1.2 million and $659 thousand, respectively, were attributable to
Argentine taxable income. The income tax provision for the six months ended June
30, 2003 is net of a $1.3 million provision that is associated with the benefit
recognized from the adoption of SFAS 143 during the first quarter of 2003 (see
"Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle").
Due to uncertainties regarding the Company's utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards and other credit carryforwards, the Company has established
valuation reserves to reduce the carrying value of its deferred tax assets. The
Company continues to monitor oil and gas commodity price outlooks and forecasted
capital spending plans, production volumes and taxable income and will reduce
its deferred tax asset valuation reserves if it becomes more likely than not
that they will be utilized prior to their scheduled maturity. The Company's
financial results have improved substantially during 2003 as a result of the
combined affects of significant production growth and improved commodity prices.
Further production growth is anticipated from projects currently under
development that will be completed during the next six to eight months. These
circumstances, combined with a stable outlook for future commodity prices,
increase the likelihood that the Company may generate sufficient future taxable
income to utilize its net operating loss and other tax credit carryforwards
prior to their scheduled expiration.
The Company estimates that its third quarter income tax provision will be
$4 million to $6 million, principally comprised of Argentine income taxes and
minimal alternative minimum tax in the United States as the Company benefits
from its net operating loss carryforwards in the United States and Canada.
Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. As previously noted,
the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 143 on January 1, 2003 and recognized
a $15.4 million benefit from the cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle, net of $1.3 million of associated deferred income taxes.
On January 1, 2003, the Company also adopted the provisions of SFAS 145,
the provisions of which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment. In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 145, the Company reclassified to other
expense extraordinary losses from the early extinguishment of debt of $2.8
million and $19.5 million recorded during the three month periods ended June 30
and September 30, 2002, respectively.
See Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
"Item 1. Financial Statements" for additional information regarding the
Company's adoption of SFAS 143 and SFAS 145.
Capital Commitments, Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital commitments. The Company's primary needs for cash are for
exploration, development and acquisitions of oil and gas properties, repayment
of contractual obligations and working capital obligations.
Oil and gas properties. The Company's cash expenditures for additions to
oil and gas properties during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003 totaled $134.3 million and $387.1 million, respectively. The Company's
second quarter 2003 additions to oil and gas properties were funded by $189.9
million of net cash provided by operating activities. During the six months
ended June 30, 2003, the Company's additions to oil and gas properties were
funded by $324.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $25.7
million of proceeds from the disposition of assets and borrowings under the
Company's corporate credit facility. The Company's capital expenditures during
the three months ended June 30, 2002 were funded by $90.6 million of net cash
provided by operating activities, $7.3 million of proceeds from the disposition
of assets and proceeds from the April 2002 sale of 11.5 million shares of common
stock (the "Stock Offering"). The Company's capital expenditures during the six
months ended June 30, 2002 were funded by $140.6 million of net cash provided by
operating activities, $58.9 million of proceeds from the disposition of assets
and proceeds from the Stock Offering.
Contractual obligations. The Company's contractual obligations include
long-term debt, operating leases, Btu swap agreements, terminated commodity
33
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
hedges and other contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the
Company increased its long-term debt by $42.2 million, reduced its obligations
under the Btu swap agreements by $3.2 million and locked-in $46.0 million of
remaining liabilities associated with the termination of commodity hedges prior
to their scheduled maturity. The Company's contractual obligations for which the
ultimate settlement amounts are not fixed and determinable are currently limited
to derivative contracts that are sensitive to future changes in commodity
prices. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk"
for a table of changes in the fair value of the Company's derivative contract
assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Working capital. Funding for the Company's working capital obligations is
provided by internally-generated cash flow. Funding for the repayment of
principal and interest on outstanding debt and the Company's capital expenditure
program may be provided by any combination of internally-generated cash flow,
proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets or alternative financing
sources as discussed in "Capital resources" below.
Capital resources. The Company's primary capital resources are net cash
provided by operating activities, proceeds from financing activities and
proceeds from sales of non-strategic assets. The Company expects that these
resources will be sufficient to fund its capital commitments in 2003.
Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 were $189.9 million and
$324.2 million, respectively, as compared to $90.6 million and $140.6 million
for the same respective periods in 2002. The increase in net cash provided by
operating activities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003,
as compared to the same periods in 2002, is primarily due to higher gas
production and higher commodity prices.
Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities during the
three months ended June 30, 2003 was $57.3 million and net cash provided by
financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $45.7
million. In comparison, net cash provided by financing activities was $81.5
million and $73.4 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2002. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, the Company
used a portion of the $236.0 million of net proceeds from the Stock Offering to
fund a portion of the net cash used in investing activities and to repay a
portion of its long-term debt and noncurrent liabilities. During the six months
ended June 30, 2003, the primary source of net cash provided by financing
activities was first quarter 2003 borrowings under the Company's $575 million
corporate credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The borrowings under the
Credit Facility were used to fund the $117.7 million of cash paid, including
normal closing adjustments, to acquire an additional 25 percent working interest
in the Falcon field, the Harrier field and surrounding satellite prospects in
the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. During the second quarter of 2003, net cash
provided by operating activities increased while net cash used for investing
activities declined allowing the Company to reduce long-term debt by $57.2
million.
During February 2003, the Company entered into interest rate swap
contracts to hedge the fair value of its 9-5/8 percent senior notes due in 2010.
The terms of these swap contracts obligated the Company to pay the
counterparties a variable annual rate equal to the six-month LIBOR plus 566.4
basis points and obligated the counterparties to pay the Company a fixed rate of
9-5/8 percent based on a notional debt amount of $250 million. During May 2003,
the Company received $11.4 million of cash from the termination of the interest
rate swap agreements prior to their scheduled maturity.
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $310.0 million
as of June 30, 2003, excluding $28.8 million of undrawn letters of credit issued
under the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rates on the Company's
indebtedness for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 was
5.0 percent, as compared to 6.0 percent and 6.1 percent for the same respective
periods in 2002, taking into account the effect of lower market interest rates
and the Company's interest rate swaps.
As the Company pursues its strategy, it may utilize various financing
sources, including fixed and floating rate debt, convertible securities,
preferred stock or common stock. The Company may also issue securities in
exchange for oil and gas properties, stock or other interests in other oil and
gas companies or related assets. Additional securities may be of a class
preferred to common stock with respect to such matters as dividends and
liquidation rights and may also have other rights and preferences as determined
by the Company's Board of Directors.
34
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
Sales of assets. During the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, proceeds from the sale of assets totaled $10.2 million and $25.7 million,
respectively, as compared to $7.3 million and $58.9 million for the same periods
in 2002. The Company's 2003 asset divestitures were primarily comprised of
derivative assets and Gulf of Mexico shelf prospects, in which a partial
interest was sold to Woodside. The Company's 2002 asset divestitures were
primarily comprised of derivative assets.
Book capitalization and liquidity. The Company's total debt was $1.7
billion as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The Company's total book
capitalization at June 30, 2003 was $3.1 billion, consisting of total debt of
$1.7 billion and stockholders' equity of $1.4 billion. Consequently, the
Company's debt to total capitalization at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002
was 55 percent. The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
..52 at June 30, 2003 and .54 at December 31, 2002. Including $28.8 million of
undrawn and outstanding letters of credit, the Company had $236.2 million of
unused borrowing capacity available under its Credit Facility as of June 30,
2003. During the remainder of 2003, the Company anticipates that net cash
provided by operating activities, based on current commodity prices, will exceed
budgeted capital expenditures and contractual obligations and be sufficient to
reduce long-term debt by $75 million to $100 million from the year-end 2002
balance.

35
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
During February 2003, the Company entered into interest rate swap
contracts to hedge a portion of the fair value of its 9-5/8 percent senior
notes. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts, the Company was to
receive a fixed annual rate of 9-5/8 percent on $250 million notional amount and
agreed to pay the counterparties a variable rate on the notional amount equal to
the six-month LIBOR, reset semi-annually, plus a weighted average margin of
566.4 basis points. During May 2003, the Company terminated the 9-5/8 percent
senior notes interest rate swaps for cash proceeds of $11.4 million, including
outstanding maturities of $2.0 million.
