Callon Petroleum Company Announces First Quarter 2019 Results

HOUSTON, May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Callon Petroleum Company (NYSE: CPE) ("Callon" or the "Company") today reported results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Presentation slides accompanying this earnings release are available on the Company's website at www.callon.com located on the "Presentations" page within the Investors section of the site.

Highlights

  • Increased production to 40.3 Mboe/d (79% oil), an increase of 52% year-over-year
  • Generated an operating margin of $32.57 per Boe
  • Recently completed a five-well pad in the southern portion of WildHorse, developing an entire half section in the Wolfcamp A
  • Initial 2nd Bone Spring shale well placed on production in the Delaware and showing positive early performance
  • Continued strong production from a Middle Spraberry well drilled at Monarch as part of multi-well, co-development of three flow units
  • Improved completion efficiency, measured in stages per day, by more than 25% compared to the same period in 2018
  • Reduced average drilling and completion costs by 15% sequentially, resulting in an average cost per lateral foot below $1,000
  • Announced the pending sale of certain non-core assets in the southern Midland Basin for estimated gross proceeds of $260 million, with potential contingency payments of up to $60 million based upon average annual commodity prices over a three-year period
  • Reaffirmed a borrowing base of $1.1 billion, pro forma for the pending non-core asset sale

"We are ahead of our plan to build out an inventory of drilled, uncompleted wells to extend our usage of a larger pad development model, applying this concept to the Delaware Basin as we continue to build upon our success in the Midland Basin. Capitalizing on the efficiencies of larger development, we delivered a sequential decrease in average drilling and completion cost per lateral foot of 15% in the first quarter. Our drilling plan is quickly progressing to the point where we will decrease to four drilling rigs and start larger Delaware Basin pad completions towards the end of the second quarter." commented Joe Gatto, President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "The previously announced sale of our Ranger properties will streamline our operations with a focus on three core operating areas with well-established infrastructure. Since we did not have any planned Ranger activity in 2019, the divestiture will not impact our base 2019 activity levels, but will allow us to optimize our 2020 capital allocation with the removal of Ranger drilling obligations. Upon closing, all cash proceeds will be directed to bolstering our financial position. We remain focused on executing our 2019 plan within our previously announced budget range, with the benefit of incremental cash flow from commodity realizations above our planning case flowing to the bottom line and the benefit our shareholders."

Operations Update

At March 31, 2019, we had 524 gross (395.4 net) horizontal wells producing from eight established flow units in the Permian Basin. Net daily production for the three months ended March 31, 2019 grew 52% to 40.3 Mboe/d (79% oil) as compared to the same period of 2018.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we drilled 21 gross (16.4 net) horizontal wells, and placed a combined 13 gross (11.2 net) horizontal wells on production. Wells placed on production during the quarter were completed in the Lower Spraberry, Middle Spraberry, Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B within the Midland Basin and the Lower Wolfcamp A within the Delaware Basin.

Midland Basin

We brought 11 gross (9.2 net) wells on production in the Midland Basin during the first quarter with the majority of activity coming from our Monarch area. Our Middle Spraberry well, the Kendra Amanda PSA 33 MS, an 8,000 foot lateral, which was completed as part of a multi-well pad project, has achieved a 30-day average production rate of approximately 110 Boe per thousand lateral feet (90% oil) and continues to perform well.

Near the end of the quarter, in the WildHorse area in Howard County, we began flowback on a five-well pad that employed half section development in the Wolfcamp A. While not all wells have reached 30 days of production, the combined five-well average for current accumulated production includes an average peak rate of over 1,500 Boe per day (92% oil) or approximately 175 Boe per thousand lateral feet.

The previously disclosed outage at a third party gas processing facility in Martin County has been resolved and we currently do not forecast any impact to second quarter production.

Delaware Basin

At our Spur area in Ward County, we placed on production the Wally World A1 01LA and A2 02LA, both Lower Wolfcamp A wells, which together have achieved cumulative production of over 100,000 Boe (84% oil) during their first 30 days of production. Recently, a two-well pad featuring 2nd Bone Spring shale and Lower Wolfcamp A co-development at Spur, was completed and placed on production. Both wells have performed as expected during their limited time on production and we will continue to monitor and compare to third party offsets in the area.

The field optimization project that was initiated during the first quarter of 2019 is progressing and is expected to be completed near the end of the second quarter.  We currently expect deferred production related to wells shut in for repairs to average 1,600 Boe per day (79% oil) for the second quarter.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $155.2 million in operational capital expenditures (including other items) on an accrual basis as compared to $141.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Total capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized expenses, are detailed below on an accrual and cash basis (in thousands):

Total Revenue. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Callon reported total revenue of $153.0 million and total revenue including settled derivatives ("Adjusted Total Revenue," a non-GAAP financial measure(i)) of $152.8 million, including the impact of a $0.3 million loss from the settlement of derivative contracts. The table above reconciles Adjusted Total Revenue to the related GAAP measure of the Company's total operating revenue. Average daily production for the quarter was 40.3 Mboe/d compared to average daily production of 41.1 Mboe/d in the fourth quarter of 2018. Average realized prices, including and excluding the effects of hedging, are detailed above.

Hedging impacts. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Callon recognized the following hedging-related items (in thousands, except per unit data):

Lease Operating Expenses, including workover ("LOE"). LOE per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $6.63 per Boe, compared to LOE of $6.47 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase on a per unit basis was primarily attributed to a 1.9% decrease in daily production.

Production Taxes, including ad valorem taxes. Production taxes were $2.98 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing approximately 7.1% of total revenue before the impact of derivative settlements.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization ("DD&A"). DD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $16.47 per Boe compared to $15.74 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase on a per unit basis was primarily attributable to an increase in our depreciable asset base and assumed future development costs related to undeveloped proved reserves relative to our estimated proved reserves as a result of additions made through our horizontal drilling efforts.

General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A, excluding certain non-cash incentive share-based compensation valuation adjustments, ("Adjusted G&A", a non-GAAP measure(i)) was $9.9 million, or $2.72 per Boe, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $9.6 million, or $2.53 per Boe, for the fourth quarter of 2018. The cash component of Adjusted G&A was $8.3 million, or $2.28 per Boe, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $7.7 million, or $2.03 per Boe, for the fourth quarter of 2018.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, G&A and Adjusted G&A, which excludes the amortization of equity-settled, share-based incentive awards and corporate depreciation and amortization, are calculated as follows (in thousands):

Settled share-based awards. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company settled certain of the outstanding share-based award agreements of two former officers of the Company, resulting in the $3.0 million recorded on the consolidated statements of operations as settled share-based awards.

Income tax expense. Callon provides for income taxes at the statutory rate of 21% adjusted for permanent differences expected to be realized. We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The change in income tax is primarily related to the change in our tax position in 2018, when the Company's tax position transitioned from a net deferred tax asset position to a net deferred tax liability position, thereby unwinding the valuation allowance balance to $0 as of December 31, 2018.

2019 Guidance

The Company is maintaining the current full year guidance until the announced sale of non-core assets closes, which is expected to occur during the second quarter. Upon closing, the Company will update applicable guidance categories, but does not expect any changes to the operational capital guidance for the year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

This news release refers to non-GAAP financial measures such as "Discretionary Cash Flow," "Adjusted G&A," "Adjusted Income," "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted Total Revenue." These measures, detailed below, are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.

  • Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of discretionary cash flow is a comparable metric against other companies in the industry and is a widely accepted financial indicator of an oil and natural gas company's ability to generate cash for the use of internally funding their capital development program and to service or incur debt. Discretionary cash flow is defined by Callon as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital and payments to settle asset retirement obligations and vested liability share-based awards. Callon has included this information because changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements, which the Company may not control and the cash flow effect may not be reflected the period in which the operating activities occurred. Discretionary cash flow is not a measure of a company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP), or as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income.
  • Adjusted general and administrative expense ("Adjusted G&A") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain non-recurring expenses and non-cash valuation adjustments related to incentive compensation plans, as well as non-cash corporate depreciation and amortization expense. Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted G&A is useful to investors because it provides readers with a meaningful measure of our recurring G&A expense and provides for greater comparability period-over-period. The table here within details all adjustments to G&A on a GAAP basis to arrive at Adjusted G&A.
  • Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Income available to common shareholders ("Adjusted Income") and Adjusted Income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide readers with a meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably determined. These measures exclude the net of tax effects of certain non-recurring items and non-cash valuation adjustments, which are detailed in the reconciliation provided here within.
  • Callon calculates adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as Adjusted Income plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow provided by operating activities or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to our performance or ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
  • Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Total Revenue is useful to investors because it provides readers with a revenue value more comparable to other companies who engage in price risk management activities through the use of commodity derivative instruments and reflects the results of derivative settlements with expected cash flow impacts within total revenues.
