HOUSTON, TEXAS – November 1, 2018 – Lilis Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: LLEX) (the “Company”, an exploration and development company operating in the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, today reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.3 million, or $0.08 per basic share and $0.09 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Total revenue was $19.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 resulting in an increase of 261%, over the comparable quarter in 2017. Adjusted EBITDAX for the third quarter of 2018 was $12.4 million (or $49.7 million on an annualized basis).
Ronald D. Ormand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I would like to highlight that as a Company, we have accomplished substantially all of our 2018 goals and are on-track to meet and exceed our 8,000 Boepd exit rate. We did unfortunately experience production curtailments and construction delays during the third quarter. I am pleased to announce we recently placed all wells previously curtailed back into production. All of our wells in eastern portion acreage that were shut-in have been placed back on production. Furthermore, our drilling program has six additional wells currently in development which projects us to finish 2018 strong and sets us up for a very successful 2019. We remain highly confident in meeting and exceeding our 2018 exit rate guidance of 8,000 Boepd in the very near future. We plan to provide results and updates on production, from new and existing wells, during the fourth quarter. The Company is in its strongest financial position to date with our recent financing, which increased liquidity, reduced leverage, and provides a cheaper cost of capital to grow the business. Our infrastructure agreements provide us with firm transportation and improved pricing, and our recent acreage transaction increases our operatorship and working interest in our core acreage. I believe the Company is in the best position that it has ever been, and we are very excited about our future. Management and members of the board are all significant shareholders of the Company and will continue to review all strategic and financial options in order to enhance shareholder value.”
