THIRD QUARTER 2014 PRODUCTION OF 2.99 MMBOE;
ADJUSTED CASH FLOW OF $74.9 MILLION;
EXPANDED FASKEN TAKEAWAY NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL
HOUSTON, November 6, 2014 – Swift Energy Company (NYSE: SFY) announced third quarter 2014 results today, including 2.99 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”) of production, $74.9 million in adjusted cash flow and $2.5 million in net income, or $0.06 per diluted share.
As expected, Swift Energy’s production decreased approximately 2% when compared to that in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the sale of a 36% interest in the Company’s Fasken properties in South Texas early in the quarter. The 2.99 MMBoe produced during the third quarter of 2014 compares to third quarter 2013 production of 3.06 MMBoe. Production was driven by the Company’s Eagle Ford properties in South Texas, where third quarter 2014 net production was 26,821 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of approximately 5% compared to third quarter 2013 levels. South Texas gross production volumes, inclusive of the 36% interest in Fasken sold during the quarter, grew 19% from comparable third quarter 2013 volumes.
The Company’s net income in the third quarter of 2014 was $2.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2013 net income of $8.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share.
Included in third quarter 2014 net income is an approximate $1.2 million pre-tax gain recorded for a quarter-end, non-cash fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s ongoing price risk management program.
Adjusted cash flow (cash flow before working capital changes, a non-GAAP measure - see page 7 for reconciliation to the GAAP measure) for the third quarter of 2014 was $74.9 million, compared to $88.5 million in the third quarter of 2013.

“Our third quarter results once again highlight our commitment to capitalizing on technology and our high quality Eagle Ford shale acreage to consistently improve well performance and commercial results”, commented Terry Swift, CEO of Swift Energy.
“In our McMullen County Eagle Ford acreage, we brought seven new wells online, all of which have met or exceeded initial production expectations. We are very confident that our method of deploying customized, engineered completions in horizontal laterals drilled in precise target zones of the Eagle Ford shale effectively improves the performance of our wells.
“In our Fasken area, we drilled a lateral length of 7,499’, our longest to date,” Swift continued. “We also drilled a well in record time and set a new low for well cost in this area. During the quarter, the expansion of our Fasken pipeline capacity was completed. This expansion, which is now fully operational, was completed ahead of schedule and increased our firm take-away capacity in the area from 75 million cubic feet of gas per day (“MMcf/d”) to 160 MMcf/d. We now expect to reach our fully committed field capacity production levels during the first quarter of 2015.
“Our top priority remains balance sheet stability and strength. We are focused on a number of business development efforts, including potential asset sales, and new operating partnerships and joint ventures. We are evaluating future transactions that would increase Swift Energy’s financial liquidity, reduce financial leverage and improve our overall operating metrics.
“Based on the results of the first three quarters of 2014, we are raising our estimated production volumes for the year to 33.4 – 33.7 Mboe/d from 32.6 – 33.2 Mboe/d. Given the recent pullback in crude oil and natural gas prices, our initial budget for 2015 includes a capital expenditure range of $240 to $260 million, a significant decrease from 2014 capital spending. That said we have identified additional discretionary projects that can be funded should crude oil and natural gas prices strengthen. Our 2015 plan focuses on our South Texas assets, and we believe production levels will be similar to the levels achieved in 2014. Based on our 2015 work plan, we see opportunities to grow production if our efforts in the Fasken area in Webb County continue to exceed expectations.”
Third Quarter Revenues and Expenses
Oil and gas sales revenues decreased 13% to $134.7 million during the third quarter of 2014, when compared to oil and gas sales revenues of $155.0 million in the third quarter of 2013, and decreased 15% from second quarter 2014 oil and gas sales revenues of $158.2 million. Total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 (including a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million for a quarter-end non-cash fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s ongoing price risk management program) decreased 9% to $139.6 million when compared to $153.0 million of revenues in the third quarter of 2013, and decreased 10% compared to $155.7 million in the second quarter of 2014.
Overall expenses decreased 3% compared to third quarter 2013 levels, and 6% on a sequential quarterly basis.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (“DD&A”) of $21.73 per barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) in the third quarter of 2014 decreased slightly from $21.90 of DD&A per Boe in the comparable period in 2013. On a sequential basis, DD&A per Boe increased 4% compared to $20.93 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014.
Lease operating costs, before severance and ad valorem taxes, were $7.83 per Boe in the third quarter 2014, an approximate 4% increase compared to $7.55 per Boe incurred in the same period of 2013. On a sequential basis, lease operating costs increased 23% from $6.36 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014. This sequential increase was primarily the result of the second quarter benefiting from a one-time adjustment for previously estimated accrued lease operating expenses being greater than ultimately incurred.
Transportation and processing expenses in the third quarter of 2014 were $1.71 per Boe, a decrease of 10% from $1.89 per Boe in the third quarter of 2013 due primarily to higher levels of natural gas production. On a sequential basis, transportation and processing expense decreased 2% from $1.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014.
Severance and ad valorem taxes decreased to $3.40 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014 from $3.83 per Boe in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to a higher percentage of revenues associated with production in Texas, which carries a lower overall severance tax rate than Louisiana (due partially to certain qualified severance tax credits). On a sequential basis, severance and ad valorem taxes increased 24% from $2.74 per Boe in the second quarter 2014.
General and administrative expenses decreased 3% to $3.55 per Boe during the third quarter of 2014, down from $3.65 per Boe in the same period in 2013. Interest expense increased 6% to $6.08 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $5.72 per Boe for the same period in 2013. On a sequential basis, general and administrative expenses decreased 1% from $3.60 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014, while interest expense increased 12% from $5.41 per Boe in the second quarter of 2014.
Third Quarter Pricing
The Company realized an aggregate average price of $44.98 per Boe during the third quarter, a decrease of 11% from the $50.72 per Boe average price realized in the third quarter of 2013 and a 2% decrease from the $45.87 per BOE average price realized in the second quarter of 2014.
In the third quarter of 2014, Swift Energy’s average crude oil prices were $96.12 per barrel, down 11% from $108.17 per barrel realized in the same period in 2013 and down 5% from the $101.67 per barrel realized in the second quarter of 2014. For the same period, average natural gas prices were $3.55 per thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”), up 13% from the $3.15 per Mcf average price realized a year earlier, but down compared to the $4.16 per Mcf average price realized in the second quarter of 2014. Prices for NGLs averaged $33.39 per barrel in the 2014 third quarter, a 5% increase from year-ago NGL prices of $31.67 per barrel, but a slight decrease compared to $33.93 per barrel for the second quarter of 2014.

The Bracken JV 13H & 14H represent the first two wells drilled and completed in the Bracken JV area using the Company’s current drilling and completion design. The performance of these two wells is significantly greater than the performance observed in wells drilled in this area in the past. This area is the fourth distinct area in South Texas where Swift Energy has demonstrated immediate benefits relating to its precise drilling and engineered completion efforts.
The Company placed 3 wells on production at its Fasken lease in Webb County during the quarter. The Company has now brought 10 consecutive wells online at Fasken that have
4
exceeded 20 MMcf/d of gas in initial production. The Company will be completing 4 more wells on this lease during the fourth quarter.
One well scheduled for completion during the quarter in Webb County, the Fasken C 22H, encountered mechanical difficulties and completion operations were suspended. This completion has been rescheduled for 2015.
Southeast Louisiana
In the Lake Washington field in Plaquemines Parish, LA, the Company continued its ongoing production optimization program, performing 9 recompletions and 4 production optimization projects during the quarter.
Price Risk Management
Swift Energy has entered into hedging transactions for the remainder of 2014 covering 2.9 Bcf of natural gas production, equivalent to 29% of its third quarter 2014 natural gas 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).
Expanded Fasken Capacity
Based on Swift Energy’s ability to further increase its Fasken production, the Company announced earlier this year an agreement to expand its committed natural gas transportation capacity in Webb County from 75 MMcf/d to 160 MMcf/d. Construction on this expansion finished ahead of schedule, and the additional capacity is now fully operational. Swift Energy is currently flowing approximately 100 MMcf/d to the line and expects to reach its maximum level of firm transportation during the first quarter of 2015.
Borrowing Base Reaffirmed
After a regularly scheduled semi-annual review by its 11 member bank group, Swift Energy’s borrowing base of $417.6 million was reaffirmed under its revolving credit facility effective October 17, 2014. The credit facility matures on November 1, 2017.
