Cimarex Reports Third Quarter 2016 Results

DENVER, Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cimarex Energy Co. (NYSE: XEC) today reported third quarter 2016 operational and financial results and provided guidance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2016. Cimarex also provided initial production guidance for 2017. Highlights include:

  • Third quarter production of 947 MMcfe/day, slightly below company's guidance
  • Full-year 2016 production estimate lowered to 960-970 MMcfe/day due to well completion timing and the duration of larger than anticipated completions
  • 2017 production estimated to be 1,050 – 1,100 MMcfe/day; up 11 percent year-over-year at the mid-point
  • Initial estimate of 2017 drilling and completion capital is $600 million; in line with 2016 levels
  • Eight operated rigs currently working in core areas; nine planned by year-end

Tom Jorden, Cimarex Chairman and CEO said, "Our confidence in our well performance, Cimarex's operational excellence and the quality of our assets remains steadfast. During the third quarter, we faced delays in our completion schedule, driven mostly by stimulations that were upsized beyond our original plans. These upsized stimulations lengthened the time required for our pad completions. The resultant production ramps slipped later into the fourth quarter, with peak production moving into first quarter 2017. We will enter 2017 with great momentum."

Cimarex reported a third quarter 2016 net loss of $12.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, including a non-cash impairment of oil and gas properties. The adjusted third quarter net income (non-GAAP) was $38.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share(1). Third quarter 2016 net cash provided by operating activities was $215.6 million versus $206.0 million a year ago. Adjusted cash flow from operations (non-GAAP) was $181.9 million versus $178.6 million a year ago(1).

Total company production averaged 947 million cubic feet equivalent (MMcfe) per day during the third quarter, slightly below the low end of company guidance of 950 – 980 MMcfe per day. Lower-than-expected third quarter production was caused by several factors including higher than anticipated ethane rejection, which accounted for seven MMcfe per day, and the timing of new well completions and subsequent production as well as production shut in during completion operations (13 MMcfe per day). Natural gas production averaged 447 MMcf per day (47 percent of total), oil production averaged 44,532 barrels per day (28 percent of total) and natural gas liquids (NGL) production averaged 38,786 barrels per day (25 percent of total). Compared to the same period in 2015, year-over-year natural gas volumes decreased four percent, oil volumes decreased 11 percent and NGL volumes were up eight percent. In total, third quarter production was three percent lower than third quarter 2015 production.

Oil prices continued to negatively impact Cimarex's year-over-year quarterly financial results. Realized oil prices averaged $40.54 per barrel, down three percent versus a year ago. Natural gas prices were essentially flat year-over-year and averaged $2.66 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) compared to $2.68 per Mcf a year ago. Higher NGL prices partially offset lower oil prices and averaged $14.14 per barrel, up 16 percent from the third quarter of 2015. (See table of Average Realized Price by Region below.)

Cimarex invested $489 million in exploration and development year-to-date, including $175 million during the third quarter, which was funded with cash flow from operations. Total debt at September 30, 2016 remained at $1.5 billion of long-term notes. Cimarex had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility and a cash balance of $699 million at September 30, 2016. Debt was 39 percent of total capitalization (non-GAAP)(2).

Outlook
The aforementioned timing of completions continues to have an impact on our production, with first production from significant infill projects in both the Permian Basin and Mid-Continent region now projected to come on later in the fourth quarter than previously planned. As such, we have lowered our estimated fourth quarter production to 945 – 985 MMcfe per day to reflect these delays, resulting in projected average production for the full year of 960 - 970 MMcfe per day, down slightly from both our previous guidance of 980 – 1,000 MMcfe and from 2015 production of 985 MMcfe per day. Our current completion schedule moves 10 net well completions previously scheduled for the fourth quarter into early 2017 which brings the total net wells completed in 2016 to 62 from our previous expectation of 72 net wells.

Capital investment for exploration and development in 2016 is now estimated to be approximately $785 million, up $35 million from previous guidance. The increase is primarily the result of higher planned drilling activity in the fourth quarter and acreage purchases made in the third quarter. Cimarex has recently added three operated drilling rigs bringing the total gross operated rigs working in its core areas to eight with plans to increase that number to nine by yearend.


Expenses per Mcfe of production for the fourth quarter of 2016 are estimated to be: 



Production expense

$0.60 -  $0.70


Transportation, processing and other expense

  0.50  -  0.60


DD&A and ARO accretion*

  1.15  -  1.35


General and administrative expense

  0.20  -  0.25


Taxes other than income (% of oil and gas revenue)

   5.3  -  5.8%


*Excludes the potential impact of any future ceiling test writedown.




In 2017, capital investment associated with drilling and completions is currently expected to be approximately $600 million (compared to the estimated $600 million in 2016) and is estimated to generate average production of 1,050 – 1,100 MMcfe per day in 2017.

Operations Update
Cimarex invested $175 million in exploration and development during the third quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to $489 million. Year-to-date, 61 percent has been invested in the Permian Basin and 38 percent in the Mid-Continent. Companywide, we completed 42 gross (17 net) wells during the quarter. At September 30, 104 gross (45 net) wells were waiting on completion.

Permian Region
Production from the Permian region averaged 517 MMcfe per day in the third quarter, an eight percent decrease compared to third quarter 2015 and a two percent increase sequentially. Quarterly oil volumes decreased 15 percent year-over-year to 35,930 barrels per day and accounted for 42 percent of the region's total production for the quarter.

Cimarex completed and brought on production 17 gross (ten net) wells in the Permian region during the third quarter. The gross operated wells completed include 13 Wolfcamp wells (ten in Culberson County and three in Reeves County) and two New Mexico Bone Spring wells.

On September 30, there were 25 gross (18 net) wells waiting on completion in the Delaware Basin including 11 gross (nine net) wells associated with multi-well infill and spacing projects that are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. Cimarex currently is operating five drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin.

Mid-Continent
Production from the Mid-Continent region averaged 427 MMcfe per day for the third quarter, a five percent increase over third quarter 2015 and an eight percent decrease sequentially. Natural gas production grew two percent year-over-year, and crude oil volumes were up 22 percent over third quarter 2015. NGL volumes increased six percent over third quarter 2015.

During the third quarter, Cimarex completed and brought on production 25 gross (seven net) wells in the Mid-Continent. At the end of the quarter, 79 gross (27 net) wells were waiting on completion including 47 gross (22 net) wells associated with the multi-well infill in the East Cana Core.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted cash flow from operations are non-GAAP financial measures.  See below for a reconciliation of the related amounts.



(2)

Reconciliation of debt to total capitalization, which is a non-GAAP measure, is:  long-term debt of $1.5 billion divided by long-term debt of $1.5 billion plus stockholders' equity of $2.3 billion. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful information as it is a common statistic used in the investment community to assist with analysis of the financial condition of an entity.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes the noted items because management believes these items affect the comparability of operating results. The company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures as a useful adjunct to GAAP earnings because:


a)

Management uses adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and gas exploration and production companies.



b)

Adjusted net income (loss) is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by research analysts.



*

Earnings (loss) per share are based on actual figures rather than the rounded figures presented

Reconciliation of Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations:
