CLAYTON WILLIAMS ENERGY ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE


Midland, Texas, July 24, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) - Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE-CWEI) today reported its financial results for the second quarter 2014.

Quarter Highlights

Oil and Gas Production of 15,559 BOE/d, up 12% (20% PF for Asset Sales)
EBITDAX1 (non-GAAP) of $81.5 million, up 54%
Lifting Costs Averaged $13.41 per BOE, down 21%

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2014

Net income attributable to Company stockholders for the second quarter of 2014 (“2Q14”) was $9.3 million, or $0.77 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1 million, or $0.08 per share, for the second quarter of 2013 (“2Q13”). Cash flow from operations for 2Q14 was $45.8 million as compared to $38.6 million for 2Q13. EBITDAX1 (non-GAAP) for 2Q14 was $81.5 million as compared to $52.8 million for 2Q13.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income attributable to Company stockholders was $20.7 million, or $1.70 per share, as compared to a net loss of $42.2 million, or $3.47 per share, for the same period in 2013. Cash flow from operations for the six-month period in 2014 was $125.1 million as compared to $82.9 million during the same period in 2013. EBITDAX1 (non-GAAP) for the six-month period in 2014 was $158.4 million as compared to $115.3 million during the same period in 2013.

The key factors affecting the comparability of financial results for 2Q14 versus 2Q13 were:

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

Oil and gas sales, excluding amortized deferred revenues, increased $19.8 million in 2Q14 versus 2Q13. Production variances accounted for a $16.5 million increase and price variances accounted for a $3.3 million increase. Average realized oil prices were $96.01 per barrel in 2Q14 versus $93.71 per barrel in 2Q13, and average realized gas prices were $4.49 per Mcf in 2Q14 versus $3.89 per Mcf in 2Q13. Oil and gas sales in 2Q14 also include $1.9 million of amortized deferred revenue versus $2.2 million in 2Q13 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 12% in 2Q14 as compared to 2Q13, with oil production increasing 20% to 11,451 barrels per day, gas production decreasing 14% to 15,154 Mcf per day, and NGL production increasing 12% to 1,582 barrels per day. Oil and NGL production accounted for approximately 84% of the Company's total BOE production in 2Q14 versus 79% in 2Q13. See accompanying tables for additional information about the Companys oil and gas production.

After giving effect to asset sales, total production per BOE increased 20% in 2Q14 as compared to 2Q13, with oil production increasing 2,803 barrels per day (32%), gas production decreasing 2,308 Mcf per day (13%) and NGL production increasing 186 barrels per day (13%).

Production costs decreased 6% to $24.6 million in 2Q14 from $26.1 million in 2Q13 due primarily to cost reductions associated with the sale of non-core Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford assets in March 2014 and lower repairs and maintenance costs. These reductions were offset in part by an increase in production taxes associated with higher oil and gas sales.

Loss on derivatives for 2Q14 was $8.3 million (including a $3.5 million loss on settled contracts) versus a gain on derivatives in 2Q13 of $4.9 million (including a $0.5 million loss on settled contracts). See accompanying tables for additional information about the Companys accounting for derivatives.

General and administrative expenses were $21.4 million in 2Q14 versus $2.8 million in 2Q13. Changes in compensation expense attributable to the Company's APO reward plans accounted for a net increase of $18.1 million ($13.5 million expense in 2Q14 versus a $4.6 million credit in 2Q13). Most of the expense in 2Q14 related to increases in estimated future compensation expense associated with Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford APO reward plans, while the credit in 2Q13 related primarily to reductions in previously accrued compensation associated with APO reward plans affected by the Andrews sale.

Other operating revenues in 2Q14 include a $4.9 million gain on sale of certain non-core Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford assets sold in March 2014. Most of the gain in 2Q14 related to the release of sales proceeds previously held in escrow pending resolution of title requirements.

Operations Update

The Company presently has 17 horizontal Wolfcamp A wells in Reeves County that have been on production for 30 or more days. The peak 30-day production for these 17 wells has averaged 754 BOE per day with the last 13 wells averaging 856 BOE per day (79% oil; 10% NGL). One additional Wolfcamp A well in Reeves County is waiting on completion, and two are currently being drilled.

As previously reported, the peak 30-day production rate from the Company’s first Wolfcamp C horizontal well in Reeves County, Texas averaged 776 BOE per day (82% oil; 8% NGL). Two Wolfcamp C wells are waiting on completion, and one is currently being drilled.
 




In June 2014, the Company added a third drilling rig to its horizontal Eagle Ford Shale play in the northern portion of its legacy Austin Chalk acreage block in Burleson, Robertson and Lee Counties, Texas. Currently, the Company has 15 horizontal Eagle Ford wells in this area that have been on production for 30 or more days. The peak 30-day production rate for these 15 wells has averaged 514 BOE per day (96% oil). Three additional wells are waiting on completion or have been on production for less than 30 days, and three are currently being drilled.

CLAYTON WILLIAMS ENERGY, INC.
COMPUTATION OF EBITDAX (NON-GAAP)
(Unaudited)
(In thousands)
EBITDAX 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company defines EBITDAX 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. EBITDAX 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 following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDAX:

(a)
Oil and gas sales includes $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 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 25,826 barrels of oil and 10,689 Mcf of gas for the three months ended June 30, 2014, 29,616 barrels of oil and 7,506 Mcf of gas for the three months ended June 30, 2013, 52,421 barrels of oil and 22,622 Mcf of gas for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 60,104 barrels of oil and 15,039 Mcf of gas for the six months ended June 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.

Following is a recap of the average daily production related to interests in producing properties sold by the Company effective April 2013 (Andrews County Wolfberry) and March 2014 (non-core Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford).
