OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: SD) today announced financial results for the quarter that ended September 30, 2014. The Company also filed restated results for quarterly periods in 2013 and 2014.

SandRidge Energy, Inc. logo

Eddie LeBlanc, SandRidge's Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice-President, commented, "Today's release of financial results for the third quarter of 2014 complements our November 2014 operating results press release. As the result of discussions with the SEC, we are now accruing a portion of the annual CO2 under delivery penalty each quarter which we previously recorded at the end of each year. Restated financial statements are included in amended historic quarterly and annual reports we are filing today. Importantly, annual results and cash flows remain unchanged."

Key Financial Results

Third Quarter 

  • Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma for divestitures and net of Noncontrolling Interest, was $225 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $160 million in the third quarter of 2013, 41% year-over-year growth.
  • Adjusted operating cash flow of $203 million for third quarter 2014 compared to $227 million in third quarter 2013.
  • Adjusted net income of $43.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for third quarter 2014 compared to adjusted net income of $31.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in third quarter 2013.

Nine Months

  • Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma for divestitures and net of Noncontrolling Interest, was $596 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $418 million in the first nine months of 2013, 42% year-over-year growth.
  • Adjusted operating cash flow of $509 million for first nine months of 2014 compared to $569 million in first nine months of 2013. Included in the first nine months of 2014 results is $70 million of cash paid to unwind hedges related to the Gulf of Mexico divestiture.
  • Adjusted net income of $109.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for first nine months of 2014 compared to adjusted net income of $64.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in first nine months of 2013.

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders, pro forma adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 7.

As previously discussed in a Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2014, the Company has been in discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding certain accounting matters.  As a result of these discussions, the Company restated its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. For the three month periods ended, March 31, 2013 and 2014 and June 30, 2013 and 2014, an estimated CO2 under delivery shortfall penalty was recorded in each quarter. The effect of the restatement for 2013 is to transfer a portion of the annual CO2 under delivery shortfall penalty accrual that was previously recorded at year-end to the quarter-end periods within such year. The change in accounting treatment impacts the first, second and third quarters of 2013 by approximately $8 million of net income per quarter, while rendering no change to the 2013 annual net income. The first and second quarters of 2014 are also impacted by approximately $8 million of net income per quarter.

Additionally, the Company also revised the recording of the Century Plant construction contract to account for it under the full cost method of accounting rather than the completed contract method of accounting for the year ended 2012. This resulted in eliminating an equal amount of income and expense from the 2012 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, net income or retained earnings.  

These restatements along with our Form 10-Q for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, which also included restated financial information related to the delivery shortfall penalty accrued for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, were filed on January 8, 2015.

James Bennett, SandRidge's Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, "As highlighted in our November third quarter operations update, we're expanding our low cost multilateral program and successfully extending our Mid-Continent resource base with Chester and Woodford production. Since the operating update, oil prices have fallen sharply; however, SandRidge is defensively positioned for 2015. We have an enviable hedge position on the vast majority of our liquids production, have no bond maturities until 2020 and at quarter end $1.4 billion of liquidity. Importantly, our Mid-Continent drilling program continues to generate commercial returns, even at current commodity prices. Given the market backdrop, we are high grading our development plans and are already reducing our rig count and capex levels. We anticipate announcing 2015 capital plans and full year guidance in February. Meanwhile, our teams are focused on continued well cost reductions, now further supported by likely lower service costs ahead."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest are non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company defines adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and adjusted for cash (paid) received on financing derivatives. It defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization and accretion of asset retirement obligations. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding asset impairment, interest income, (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, (gain) loss on sale of assets, transaction costs, legal settlements, consent solicitation costs, severance, loss on extinguishment of debt and other various non-cash items (including non-cash portion of noncontrolling interest and stock-based compensation). Pro forma adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is adjusted EBITDA excluding adjusted EBITDA attributable to properties or subsidiaries sold during the period.

Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The Company also uses these measures because adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA allow the Company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Management also uses the supplemental financial measure of adjusted net income, which excludes tax (benefit) expense adjustment, asset impairment, (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, (gain) loss on sale of assets, transaction costs, legal settlements, consent solicitation costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, severance and other non-cash items from income available (loss applicable) to common stockholders. Management uses this financial measure as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for loss applicable to common stockholders.

The supplemental measure of adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is used by the Company's management to measure the impact on the Company's financial results of the ownership by third parties of interests in the Company's less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest excludes the portion of asset impairment, (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash (paid) received on settlement of derivative contracts, legal settlement and loss on sale of assets attributable to third-party ownership in less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries from net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. Adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to operating cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Cautionary Note to Investors - This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements express a belief, expectation or intention and are generally accompanied by words that convey projected future events or outcomes. The forward-looking statements include statements about the Company's future capital spending, drilling and development plans, estimates of oil and natural gas production, rates of return, derivative transactions, liquidity, debt maturities and operating costs. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, our success in discovering, estimating, developing and replacing oil and natural gas reserves, actual decline curves and the actual effect of adding compression to natural gas wells, the availability and terms of capital, the ability of counterparties to transactions with us to meet their obligations, our timely execution of hedge transactions, credit conditions of global capital markets, changes in economic conditions, the amount and timing of future development costs, the availability and demand for alternative energy sources, regulatory changes, including those related to carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We refer you to the discussion of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013. All of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on our company or our business or operations. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
