SWIFT ENERGY ANNOUNCES:
 
 
 
24% INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER 2014 PRODUCTION TO 3.45 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL EQUIVALENT;
24% INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER 2014 ADJUSTED CASH FLOW TO $90.0 MILLION;
20% INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER 2014 NET INCOME TO $8.0 MILLION, OR $0.18 PER DILUTED SHARE
HOUSTON, July 31, 2014 – Swift Energy Company (NYSE: SFY) announced second quarter 2014 results today including a 24% increase in production, a 24% increase in adjusted cash flow and a 20% increase in net income, when compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Swift Energy’s production increased 24% to 3.45 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”) during the second quarter of 2014, when compared to second quarter 2013 production of 2.78 MMBoe, and a 17% increase over first quarter 2014 production of 2.94 MMBoe. This production growth was driven by the Company’s Eagle Ford properties in South Texas, where second quarter 2014 production from the Eagle Ford formation was approximately 26,600 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of approximately 71% compared to second quarter 2013 levels.
The Company’s net income rose by 20% for the second quarter of 2014 to $8.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, an increase from the second quarter 2013 net income of $6.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, and increased 48% compared to net income of $5.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014.
Included in the determination of second quarter 2014 net income are the following non-recurring items: (i) a loss recorded for a quarter-end, non-cash fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s ongoing price risk management program, (ii) some one-time general and administrative transaction related costs associated with our previously announced Fasken joint venture and (iii) a larger than normal accrual estimate reduction in the quarter’s lease operating expenses. These non-recurring items partially offset each other this quarter and have been appropriately considered in the Company’s forward guidance.

Adjusted cash flow (cash flow before working capital changes, a non-GAAP measure - see page 8 for reconciliation to the GAAP measure) for the second quarter of 2014 increased 24% to $90.0 million, compared to $72.8 million for that measure in the second quarter of 2013.
“One of our goals for 2014 is to strategically grow our Eagle Ford production and balance our spending levels with our cash flows,” commented Terry Swift, CEO of Swift Energy.  “Our recently closed joint venture transaction for our Eagle Ford Fasken acreage in Webb County has helped us accelerate a significant multi-year development program, achieve a reduction of balance sheet leverage and improve our liquidity position.  We’ve also adjusted our oil and gas capital activity levels to be more closely aligned with our anticipated cash flow profile for the remainder of the year.
“The Fasken results provide an excellent example of how our current generation of drilling and completion design can improve field performance. In Fasken, we have grown our Eagle Ford dry gas gross production from 28.3 million cubic feet of gas per day (“MMcf/d”) in the 2nd quarter of 2013 to 103.8 MMcf/d for the 2nd quarter in 2014, a 367% increase. Our professionals applied advanced technology drilling and completion methods to increase our average lateral lengths and sand volumes by 40% and 80% respectively. We also reduced average drilling and completion costs by 40% and drilling times by 20% respectively. The performance results of these new designs have yielded 30 day and 90 day cumulative production increases of 100% and 85% respectively. With the expansion of our Fasken pipeline capacity, we expect to see our firm Fasken take away capacity grow from 75 MMcf/d to 160 MMcf/d in early 2015.
"Another important 2014 goal is to more broadly apply our technical expertise to our existing inventory and enhance our multi-year oil and gas production growth opportunities in the Eagle Ford.  We believe our drilling and completion design is a transferable, competitive advantage when exploiting the Eagle Ford shale.  The two recent Whitehurst wells, which had an average initial production rate above 3,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, mark the third distinct operational area where we have applied our current drilling and completion designs to the Eagle Ford and have observed significant improvement in performance as measured by higher initial production rates, larger estimated ultimate reserve recoveries and shallower declines of flowing casing pressure.
“Based on the results of our first half 2014 operational efforts, we are increasing our currently estimated production volumes for the year from a range of 31.5 – 32.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Mboe/d”) to a range of 32.6 – 33.2 Mboe/d. We also believe we can grow our 2015 production to a range of 34.5 – 36.2 Mboe/d and align our anticipated cash flows with our capital investments.”
Second Quarter Revenues and Expenses
Oil and gas sales revenues increased 12% to $158.2 million during the second quarter of 2014, when compared to the second quarter 2013 oil and gas sales revenues of $140.9 million, and a 6% increase over first quarter 2014 oil and gas sales revenues of $148.6 million. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2014 (including a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million for a quarter-end non-cash fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s ongoing price risk management program) increased 9% to $155.7 million when compared to $142.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, and increased 8% compared to $143.7 million in the first quarter 2014.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (“DD&A”) of $20.93 per barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) in the second quarter of 2014 decreased 2% from $21.40 of DD&A per Boe in the comparable period in 2013 due to increased reserve levels, partially offset by a higher depletable base. On a sequential basis, DD&A per Boe was relatively flat with first quarter 2014 levels.
Lease operating costs, before severance and ad valorem taxes, were $6.36 per Boe in the second quarter 2014, an approximate 34% decrease when compared to $9.70 per Boe incurred in the same period of 2013. While cost savings initiatives are being realized, a portion of this quarter’s large per unit reduction was the result of certain previously estimated accrued lease operating expenses being greater than ultimately incurred, along with higher production volumes for the quarter. On a sequential basis, lease operating costs decreased 26% from $8.58 in the first quarter of 2014.
Transportation and processing expense in the second quarter of 2014 of $1.74 per Boe decreased slightly from $1.75 per Boe in the second quarter of 2013 due primarily to higher levels of natural gas production. On a sequential basis, transportation and processing expense decreased 3% from $1.80 in the first quarter of 2014.
Severance and ad valorem taxes decreased to $2.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014 from $3.78 per Boe in the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to a higher percentage of revenues associated with production in Texas, which carries a lower overall severance tax rate (due partially to certain qualified severance tax credits) than Louisiana. On a sequential basis, severance and ad valorem taxes decreased 12% from $3.13 in the first quarter 2014.
General and administrative expenses (which included approximately $1 million in one-time general and administrative transaction related costs associated with the Company’s previously announced Fasken joint venture) still decreased to $3.60 per Boe during the second quarter of 2014, down from $4.03 per Boe in the same period in 2013. Interest expense decreased to $5.41 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $6.12 per Boe for the same period in 2013. On a sequential basis, general and administrative expenses decreased 1% from $3.65 per Boe in the first quarter of 2014, while interest expense decreased 14% from $6.27 in the first quarter of 2014.
Second Quarter Pricing
The Company realized an aggregate average price of $45.87 per Boe during second quarter, a decrease from the $50.71 per Boe average price received in the second quarter of 2013 and the $50.45 per BOE average price received in the first quarter of 2014.
In the second quarter of 2014, Swift Energy’s average crude oil prices decreased 1% to $101.67 per barrel from $103.15 per barrel realized in the same period in 2013, but increased 2% compared to the $99.38 per barrel realized in the first quarter of 2014. For the same period, average natural gas prices were $4.16 per thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”), up 8% from the $3.86 per Mcf average price realized a year earlier, but down 1% compared to the $4.20 per Mcf average price realized in the first quarter of 2014. Prices for NGLs averaged $33.93 per barrel in the 2014 second quarter, a 14% increase from second quarter 2013 NGL prices of $29.74 per barrel, but a decrease of 6% compared to $36.27 per barrel for the first quarter of 2014.

Southeast Louisiana
In the Lake Washington field in Plaquemines Parish, LA, the Company continued its ongoing production optimization program, performing 10 recompletions and 3 production optimization projects during the quarter. The Company plans to conduct 10 additional well recompletions during the second half of 2014 at Lake Washington.
Central Louisiana
The Company continues to work with a prospective buyer for all of its Central Louisiana properties, but it is uncertain when or if this transaction will occur. The Company’s motivation for selling these assets was to reduce short-term debt and improve its liquidity profile, both of which were accomplished with the closing of the previously announced joint venture in its south Texas area. At this point, if no sale of these assets were to occur, the Company anticipates investing a limited amount of capital in 2015 in low risk projects to maintain the value of these assets, while evaluating future alternatives.
Joint Venture Closing
On July 15, 2014, the Company announced it had closed a previously announced joint venture to develop its Fasken Eagle Ford acreage. At closing Swift Energy received approximately $147 million, composed of the initial $125 million cash consideration plus its partner’s share of capital costs, net of revenue, since the January 1, 2014 effective date of the transaction, which capital costs included its partner’s carry of a portion of Swift Energy’s field development costs for that same period. After closing, approximately $38 million remains of its partner’s original $50 million drilling carry obligation, which is expected to be fulfilled by calendar year 2016.
The net proceeds received by Swift Energy in this transaction have been used initially to reduce the amount of borrowings under the Company’s credit facility and ultimately a portion of the proceeds will be used to fund accelerated development of its Eagle Ford shale properties.
Price Risk Management
Swift Energy has entered into hedging transactions for the remainder of 2014 covering 7.8 Bcf of natural gas production and approximately 0.1 MMbbls of crude oil production. On an ongoing basis, details of Swift Energy’s complete price risk management activities can be found on the Company’s website (www.swiftenergy.com).

See reconciliation on page 8. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures EBITDA and cash flow before working capital changes are useful information to investors because they are widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Many investors use the published research of these analysts in making their investment decisions.
