DUNE ENERGY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
Houston, Texas, August 1, 2012—Dune Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:DUNR) today announced results for the second quarter of calendar year 2012.
Revenue and Production
Revenue for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $13.1 million as compared with $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. Production volumes in the second quarter were 105 Mbbls of oil and .75 Bcf of natural gas, or 1.38 Bcfe. This compares with 114 Mbbls of oil and .72 Bcf of natural gas, or 1.40 Bcfe for the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, the average sales price per barrel of oil was $105.62 and $2.69 per Mcf for natural gas, as compared with $108.25 per barrel and $4.92 per Mcf, respectively for the second quarter of 2011. Production declined 2% in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Oil prices decreased 2% and gas prices decreased 45% from 2011 levels. During the second quarter of 2012 oil accounted for 46% of the total production volumes on an equivalent basis; however, oil revenue accounted for 85% of the total revenue.
Costs and Expenses
Total lease operating expense was $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, or $4.85 and $4.90 per Mcfe produced, respectively. DD&A expense was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2012, or $3.62 per Mcfe. G&A expense totaled $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2011, mainly reflecting the impact of additional stock-based compensation. Interest and financing expense was $2.4 million in the second quarter compared to $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. As part of the restructuring on December 22, 2011, a $40 million term loan was repaid and replaced with a $200 million revolving credit facility under which $36 million was borrowed at June 30, 2012 and $2.0 million in letters of credit were outstanding. The $300 million of Senior Secured Notes were reduced to $3.0 million at year-end 2011 and repaid during the second quarter of 2012. New notes of $49.5 million with a maturity of 2016 were added as part of the restructuring. This amount was increased to $52.3 million as of June 30, 2012.
Earnings
Net gain available to common stockholders totaled $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. This compares with an $18.9 million loss in 2011. Preferred stock dividends were $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. The preferred stock was eliminated as part of the December 22, 2011 restructuring and was converted into $4 million cash and 1.5% of the common shares outstanding on a restructured basis. Consequently, there were no preferred stock dividends in 2012.
Liquidity
At the end of the quarter we had $8.9 million in cash and $12 million available under our Credit Facility based on $50 million of availability. The revolver is subject to a mid-year redetermination based on a new reserve report incorporating activity in the first half of the year.
2012 Operations Summary and Capital Program
Garden Island Bay Field
In the first half of the year we completed two drilling wells the SL214 #917 and the SL214 #915ST along with two new zone work overs. Currently the field is capable of producing approximately 900 Boe/day up from an average of 350 Boe/day in December of 2011 prior to the investment. Several behind pipe zones were identified in the two new wells drilled that we expect to be completed at a later date. After hurricane season, we anticipate resuming a drilling and work over program in the field.
Leeville Field
Dune owns 40% working interest in a joint venture within this field and a private party owns the remaining 60%. This party has proposed initiating a one rig drilling program commencing in September and continuing through 2013 in order to drill several newly identified PUD locations based on reprocessed and depth migrated 3-D seismic data. Our 40% interest in each of these PUD locations will cost approximately $1.7-$1.9 million and we expect to result in net oil production of 100-150 BO/day. Each well takes approximately 30-40 days to drill and complete. In addition, a 20,500 foot exploratory well has been proposed in which Dune would have a 20% working interest. Our net dry hole exposure on this well would be approximately $3.8 million and reserve exposure would be approximately 800 Mboe.
Capital Program
During the first half of the year we expended approximately $19.2 million for capital projects including the 4 wells at Garden Island Bay and numerous other projects throughout our field operations. Depending on cash flow and availability under our revolver, we anticipate the capital budget for the full year to be between $32 and $35 million. Primary areas of focus in the second half of the year will be Garden Island Bay Field and the Leeville Field.
James A. Watt, President and CEO of the company stated, “Our investments in the first half of the year are showing positive production results that we expect will carry into the second half of the year. New drilling should add further to our reserves and production growth strategy.”
