PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
The information in this document includes forward-looking statements that
are based on assumptions that in the future may prove not to have been accurate.
Those statements, and Pioneer Natural Resources Company's (the "Company")
business and prospects are subject to a number of risks including the volatility
of oil and gas prices, environmental risks, operating hazards and risks, risks
associated with natural gas processing plants, risks related to exploration and
development drilling, uncertainties about estimates of reserves, competition,
government regulation, and the ability of the Company to implement its business
strategy. These and other risks are described in the Company's 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which is available from the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On July 13, 1999, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated
June 29, 1999 (the "July 13, 1999 Form 8-K") with the SEC reporting a series of
related asset dispositions under Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets of
the July 13, 1999 Form 8-K and, associated therewith, presented unaudited
proforma condensed financial statements under Item 7. Financial Statements and
Exhibits of the July 13, 1999 Form 8-K. The purpose of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is to supplement the unaudited proforma condensed financial statements
presented under Item 7 of the July 13, 1999 Form 8-K based on the reported
results of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as reported
in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that was filed with the SEC on
November 10, 1999. The Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 1999, as presented in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended September 30, 1999, includes the effects of the 1999 asset
divestitures. Accordingly, an unaudited pro forma balance sheet is not presented
herein.
Asset Divestitures
During 1999, the Company completed the divestiture of certain United
States and Canadian non-strategic assets. The Company realized $386.7 million of
net cash proceeds from the divestitures, which was used to reduce the Company's
outstanding indebtedness.
Prize Divestiture. On June 29, 1999, the Company completed the
divestiture (the "Prize Divestiture") of certain oil and gas producing
properties, gas plants and other assets to Prize Energy Corp. ("Prize"). The oil
and gas producing assets sold to Prize include properties located in the Gulf
Coast, Mid Continent and Permian Basin areas of the Company's United States
region.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's interest in these properties
contained 63 million BOE of proved reserves (consisting of 26 million Bbls of
oil and NGL's, and 224 Bcf of gas), representing $199 million of SEC 10 value.
In accordance with the terms of the Prize Divestiture, the Company
received net sales proceeds of $245.0 million, comprised of $215.0 million of
cash and 2,307.693 shares of six percent convertible preferred stock having a
liquidation preference and fair value of $30.0 million. The convertible
preferred stock provides for a six percent annual dividend payment, payable
quarterly in additional shares of Prize six percent convertible preferred stock
through 2001. Subsequent to 2001, Prize has the option of paying the quarterly
dividends on the convertible preferred stock in additional shares of six percent
convertible preferred stock or in cash. Each share of the convertible preferred
stock may, at the option of the Company, be converted into one share of Prize
common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Company
recognized a loss of $46.4 million from the Prize Divestiture.
The board of directors of Prize is comprised of six directors, which
include Mr. Philip P. Smith, the Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Kenneth A. Hersh;
two directors to be elected by the Company under the terms of the convertible
preferred stock received in this transaction; and, two other directors unrelated
to the Company. Messrs. Smith and Hersh were members of the board of directors
of the Company and resigned their positions with the Company during the second
quarter of 1999. Additionally, Mr. Lon C. Kile resigned his position as
Executive Vice President of the Company to accept the position of President and
Chief Operating Officer of Prize. The sale of the assets to Prize was initiated
3
through an auction process which, upon receipt of Prize's initial offer, was
placed under the supervision of a special independent committee of the Company's
board of directors (comprised of outside directors unrelated to Prize). Upon the
independent committee's review and consideration of all offers presented to the
Company, the Prize offer was approved.
Other United States Divestitures. In addition to the Prize Divestiture,
the Company completed the divestitures of non-strategic United States oil and
gas properties located in the South Texas Gulf Coast, the West Texas Permian
Basin and North Dakota areas, an East Texas gas facility and certain other
assets for net cash proceeds of $113.7 million. Associated with these
divestitures, the Company recorded a net gain on disposition of assets of $33.6
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's interest in these properties,
excluding the North Dakota oil and gas properties held in a Canadian
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, contained 12.5 million BOE of proved
reserves (consisting of 6 million Bbls of oil and NGL's, and 37 Bcf of gas),
representing $38 million of SEC 10 value.
Canadian Divestitures. During 1999, the Company completed the divestiture
of certain non-strategic Canadian oil and gas properties, gas plants and other
related assets. In accordance with the terms of the Canadian purchase and sale
agreements, the Company received net cash proceeds of US $58.0 million.
Associated with these divestitures, the Company recognized a net loss of US $8.5
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's interest in the divested Canadian
properties, including the North Dakota oil and gas properties held in a Canadian
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, contained 13.8 million BOE of proved
reserves (consisting of 9 million Bbls of oil and NGL's, and 29 Bcf of gas),
representing $47 million of SEC 10 value.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
Introductory Statements
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements of the Company
have been prepared to give effect to (i) the divestiture of certain
non-strategic oil and gas properties, gas plants, and other assets to Prize
Energy Corp. in June 1999 and (ii) the aggregate effect of other divestitures of
non-strategic Canadian and United States oil and gas properties, gas plants and

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of Pioneer
Natural Resources Company (the "Company") has been prepared to give effect to
(i) the divestiture of certain non-strategic oil and gas properties, gas plants
and other assets to Prize Energy Corp. ("Prize") in June 1999 and (ii) the
aggregate effect of other divestitures of non-strategic Canadian and United
States oil and gas properties, gas plants and related assets during the period
from February 15, 1999 to September 30, 1999 (items (i) and (ii) collectively,
the "1999 Dispositions"). The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of
operations are presented as if the 1999 Dispositions occurred on January 1,
1998. The Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
1999, as presented in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
September 30, 1999, includes the effects of the 1999 Dispositions. Accordingly,
an unaudited proforma balance sheet is not presented herein.
Following is a description of the individual columns included in these
unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements:
The Company - Represents the consolidated condensed statements of
operations of Pioneer Natural Resources Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998.
1999 Dispositions - Reflects the results of operations (before income
taxes) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the year ended
December 31, 1998 from the oil and gas properties, gas plants and related
assets prior to their sale in 1999.
NOTE 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
Following are descriptions of the pro forma adjustments used in the
preparation of the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial
statements:
(a) Respective pro forma adjustments to reduce interest expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and for the year ended December
31, 1998 to reflect the use of $386.7 million of net cash proceeds from
divestments to reduce outstanding bank indebtedness. The adjustments
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the year ended
December 31, 1998 are based on historic average annual interest rates
of 7.18 percent and 5.97 percent, respectively, incurred on bank
indebtedness.
(b) Pro forma adjustments to the Company's Canadian income tax provision
for the year ended December 31, 1998. This adjustment is based on an
effective Canadian income tax rate of 43.7 percent. Due to
uncertainties regarding the recoverability of the Company's net
operating loss and tax credit carryovers, an income tax benefit has not
been recognized in the pro forma adjustments associated with the pro
forma 1999 pre-tax loss.
NOTE 3. OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA
The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information regarding the
oil and gas activities of the Company is presented pursuant to the disclosure
requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures About Oil and Gas
Producing Activities". The pro forma combined reserve information is presented
as if the 1999 Dispositions had occurred on January 1, 1998. Information for oil
and NGL's are presented in barrels (Bbls) and for gas in thousands of cubic feet
(Mcf).
7
The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and
subject to revision and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise
than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the estimates are
expected to change as future information becomes available and such changes
could be significant.

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures (based on
year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves
discounted using a rate of 10 percent per year to reflect the estimated timing
of the future cash flows. Future income taxes are calculated by comparing
undiscounted future cash flows to the tax basis of oil and gas properties plus
available carryforwards and credits and applying the current tax rate to the
difference.
