NEWS RELEASE

 

Halcón Resources Announces First Quarter 2016 Results

 

HOUSTON, TEXAS — May 9, 2016 — Halcón Resources Corporation (NYSE:HK) (“Halcón” or the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2016 results.

 

Production for the three months ended March 31, 2016 averaged 39,527 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d).  Production was comprised of 77% oil, 11% natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 12% natural gas for the quarter.

 

Halcón generated total revenues of $81.3 million for the first quarter of 2016.  In addition, Halcón realized a net gain on settled derivative contracts of $107.7 million during the quarter.

 

Excluding the impact of hedges, Halcón realized 80% of the average NYMEX oil price, 14% of the average NYMEX oil price for NGLs and 75% of the average NYMEX natural gas price during the first quarter of 2016.

 

Total operating costs per unit, after adjusting for selected items (see Selected Operating Data table for additional information), decreased by 15% to $16.66 per Boe during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period of 2015.

 

After adjusting for selected items primarily related to a non-cash, pre-tax full cost ceiling impairment charge (see Selected Item Review and Reconciliation table for additional information), net income was $29.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016.  Halcón reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $566.9 million, or $4.72 per diluted share for the first quarter.

 

Liquidity and Capital Spending

 

As of March 31, 2016 Halcón’s liquidity was approximately $564 million, which consisted of cash on hand plus undrawn capacity on the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility with a $700 million borrowing base.  The Company’s next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date is September 1, 2016.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company incurred capital costs of $52 million on drilling and completions, and approximately $2 million on infrastructure, seismic and leasehold acquisitions.  In addition, Halcón incurred $36 million for capitalized interest, G&A and other.

Hedging Update

 

Halcón has 25,331 barrels per day of oil hedged for the last nine months of 2016 at an average price of $80.50 per barrel.  For 2017, the Company has 3,750 barrels per day of oil hedged at an average price of $65.75 per barrel.  Halcón estimates the pre-tax mark-to-market value of its hedge portfolio to be approximately $220 million as of May 5, 2016.

 

Operations Update

 

The Company is currently running 1 operated rig in the Fort Berthold area of the Williston Basin and plans to keep this rig running through the remainder of 2016.  Halcón has no other operated rigs running and the Company does not plan additional rigs until oil prices improve.  The Company currently has 14 wells in the Bakken being completed or waiting on completion and none in the Eagle Ford.

 

Bakken/Three Forks

 

The Company operated an average of 2 rigs in the Williston Basin during the first quarter of 2016.

 

Halcón spudded 4 wells and put 5 wells online in the Fort Berthold area of the Williston Basin during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company also participated in 3 non-operated wells during the quarter across the basin with an average working interest of approximately 6.75%. Production averaged 28,606 Boe/d during the first quarter of 2016 in the Williston Basin.

 

Halcón currently has working interests in approximately 123,000 net acres prospective for the Bakken and Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin, substantially all of which are held by production (HBP). With one operated rig running, the Company plans to spud 15 gross operated wells over the remaining nine months of 2016 with an average working interest of approximately 64%. Halcón also expects to participate in 15-20 gross non-operated wells over the last nine months of 2016 with an average working interest of approximately 0.5%.  Halcón expects operated wells put online over the remainder of 2016 to have an average EUR of approximately 900 MBoe.  Current estimated operated drilling and completion costs are $6.2 million in FBIR and $5.7 million in Williams County.

 

The Company is currently the operator of 211 producing Bakken wells and 66 Three Forks wells.

 

“El Halcón” - East Texas Eagle Ford

The Company operated 1 rig in El Halcón during the first quarter of 2016. Halcón spudded 2 wells and put 4 wells online in the play during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Production averaged 8,380 Boe/d during the first quarter of 2016 in El Halcón.

 

Halcón currently has working interests in approximately 88,000 net acres prospective for the Eagle Ford formation in East Texas, approximately 76% of which is HBP. The Company currently operates 113 El Halcón wells.  Halcón anticipates adding a rig back to this area when oil prices improve.

(1) Represents charges related to the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with decreases in the Company’s borrowing base under its senior revolving credit facility.

(2) For the 2016 column this represents tax impact using an estimated tax rate of 0.0% due to the Company maintaining a full valuation allowance.

For the 2015 column this represents tax impact using an estimated tax rate of 37.04%. This column includes a $209.3 million adjustment for the change in valuation allowance.

(3) Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items and cash flow from operations before changes in working capital adjusted for selected items are non-GAAP measures. These financial measures are presented based on management’s belief that they will enable a user of the financial information to understand the impact of these items on reported results.  Additionally, this presentation provides a beneficial comparison to similarly adjusted measurements of prior periods. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, earnings per share and cash flow from operations, as defined by GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures that other companies may use and may not be useful in comparing the performance of those companies to Halcón’s performance.

(4) The impact of selected items for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was calculated based upon weighted average diluted shares of 143.8 million and 83.9 million, respectively, due to the net income available to common stockholders, excluding selected items.
