Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces 2017 Second Quarter Results
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - August 8, 2017 - Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) today announced 2017 second quarter results.
HIGHLIGHTS
• | Daily production increased 4% sequentially to average 13,794 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day in the second quarter, for a total of 1,255,280 Boe. |
• | Northern added 4.3 net wells to production during the second quarter of 2017. |
• | The 6.2 net wells that Northern elected to participate in during the first half of 2017 have an estimated internal rate of return of approximately 30% at a $50/Bbl flat pricing assumption. |
• | At June 30, 2017, Northern maintained a strong list of wells in process totaling 16.1 net wells that have an estimated internal rate of return of approximately 30% at a $50/Bbl flat pricing assumption. |
Northern’s GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $13.8 million. Adjusted net income for the quarter was a loss of $0.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $30.7 million. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
“Strong second quarter net well additions drove our production levels above internal expectations for the quarter,” commented Northern’s Interim CEO and CFO, Tom Stoelk. “Our growing list of high quality wells awaiting completion and the further productivity improvements we are seeing in 2017 gives us confidence that we’ll meet or exceed our original production goals for the year. Our goal is to position ourselves to capitalize on the significant growth and consolidation opportunities we expect to see going forward. Our continued focus on capital allocation, growing reserves and production is helping prepare us for future opportunities and value creation as the industry environment improves.”

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the second quarter of 2017, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, increased 14% as compared to the second quarter of 2016, driven by a 15% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, which was partially offset by a 1% decrease in production. The higher average realized price in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was principally driven by higher average NYMEX oil and natural gas prices and a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the second quarter of 2017 was $6.86 per barrel, as compared to $8.08 per barrel in the second quarter of 2016.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net was a gain of $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a loss of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2016. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period end.

2017 | 2016 | ||||||
Cash Received (Paid) on Derivatives | $ | 2,341,030 | $ | 19,983,750 | |||
Non-Cash Gain (Loss) on Derivatives | 14,172,002 | (30,506,698 | ) | ||||
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, Net | $ | 16,513,032 | $ | (10,522,948 | ) | ||
The average NYMEX oil price for the second quarter of 2017 was $48.15 compared to $45.64 for the second quarter of 2016. Northern’s average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) in the second quarter of 2017 was $40.41 per Boe compared to $49.30 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016. The gain (loss) on settled derivatives increased the average realized price per Boe by $1.86 in the second quarter of 2017 and increased the average realized price per Boe by $15.76 in the second quarter of 2016.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased to $9.67 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $8.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016. On an absolute dollar basis, the increase in production expenses in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in processing costs and a $0.5 million increase in workover and maintenance costs, as well as a 5% increase in the total number of net producing wells. In an effort to increase production, workover expenses have increased in 2017 compared to 2016 as new operators have assumed the operations of properties previously managed by financially stressed companies.
Production Taxes
Production taxes were $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase is due to higher commodity prices, which increased oil and natural gas sales in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.2% and 9.9% in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates as a percentage of oil and natural gas sales is due to a change in sales mix. Production taxes on natural gas and NGL sales are at a lower percentage than that of crude oil sales. Crude oil sales represented 90% of oil and natural gas sales in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 96% in the second quarter of 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses were $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was due to a $1.3 million reduction in compensation expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in incentive compensation and lower non-cash share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in legal and other professional fees.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“DD&A”) was $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, decreased by $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. The aggregate decrease in depletion expense was driven by a 15% decrease in the depletion rate per Boe, as well as a 1% decrease in production levels. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $10.76 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $12.64 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016. The 2017 depletion rate per Boe was lower due to the impairment of oil and natural gas properties in 2016, which lowered the depletable base. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $0.2 million and $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
No impairment of oil and natural gas properties was recorded in the second quarter of 2017. As a result of low prevailing commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of its properties, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $88.9 million for the second quarter of 2016. The impairment charge affected Northern’s reported net income in 2016 but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher levels of debt between periods.
Income Tax Provision
During the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, no income tax expense (benefit) was recorded on the income (loss) before income taxes due to the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the second quarter of 2017 was a loss of $0.2 million (representing approximately $0.00 per diluted share), compared to income of $6.5 million (representing approximately $0.10 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (after the effect of settled derivatives) and lower production levels. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax, and (iii) write-off of debt issuance costs, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 was $30.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $44.3 million for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (after the effect of settled derivatives) and lower production levels. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern’s core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern’s performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.
