Penn Virginia Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results

--- Exceeds High End of Oil Sales Volume Guidance on Reduced Per Well Capital Expenditures ---
--- Recently Announced All-Stock Acquisition of Lonestar Resources Expected to be Accretive Across Key Metrics, Including Free Cash Flow Generation ---

HOUSTON, Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Penn Virginia Corporation ("Penn Virginia" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: PVAC) today announced its financial and operational results for the second quarter 2021.

Recent Significant Highlights

• After raising oil guidance in the first quarter of 2021, the Company again exceeded the high end of oil sales guidance, with 20,117 barrels of oil per day ("bbl/d") for the second quarter of 2021. Total sales volumes for the same period were 24,844 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boe/d");
• Reduced estimated per well costs by approximately 4% compared to initial guidance estimates for wells completed in the second quarter of 2021;
• Lowered operating expenses per barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) by approximately 19% compared to the first quarter 2021;
• Announced agreement to acquire Lonestar Resources US Inc. (“Lonestar”) in an all-stock transaction that is expected to be highly accretive across key metrics and significantly increase Penn Virginia’s Free Cash Flow, production, and drilling inventory (the “Merger”). The Merger is anticipated to close in the second half of 2021;
• The combination with Lonestar is expected to result in over $20 million in annual cost synergies, with incremental near-term operational synergies from longer laterals, shared facilities, and capital efficiencies, after the close;
• Priced inaugural $400 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) with net proceeds anticipated to be used to refinance Lonestar’s existing long-term debt and Penn Virginia’s Second Lien Term Loan, creating access to high yield capital markets and facilitating the launch of an upsizing of the borrowing base to enhance liquidity upon closing of the Merger;
• Generated significant Free Cash Flow(1) for the seventh consecutive quarter, lowering Net Debt(2) by approximately $30 million to $334 million as of June 30, 2021;
• Generated net income of $8 million (including a non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivatives of $38 million); and
• Reported adjusted EBITDAX(3)(4) of over $77 million for the second quarter of 2021.
  

Darrin Henke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Penn Virginia, commented, “I couldn’t be more proud of our team. This quarter has been one of the best performing quarters for the Penn Virginia team to date and could not have been achieved without the tireless efforts of our entire employee base. It's not often that within one month, we get to announce we significantly exceeded production expectations, lowered our capital costs, improved our operating costs, announced a transformational merger, gained access to high yield capital markets, expanded liquidity, and had one of our highest Free Cash Flow quarters in recent history. Our commitment to continuous improvement through a disciplined focus on cash-on-cash returns continues to produce both operational and financial outperformance to the benefit of all of our stakeholders.

As proud as we are of recent results, we are even more excited about what we believe the future holds. We continue to see ongoing operational efficiencies on our pad sites as we consistently optimize our development program utilizing the latest drilling and completion techniques resulting in continuous improvement in well performance. Our latest well results in our Northeast and Southwest portions of our acreage position have validated our extensive inventory in these areas, and our recent wells there have outperformed even our own expectations. Our pending acquisition will expand our scale in both the Northeast and Southwest areas, creating large contiguous blocks for optimized development using longer laterals, shared facilities, and significant cost and operating synergies. Lastly, our track record of robust operational performance, strong Free Cash Flow position, balance sheet strength, and access to capital markets has positioned us as a disciplined consolidator in one of the premier oil basins in North America.”

Second Quarter 2021 Operating Results

Total sales volumes for the second quarter of 2021 were 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent, or 24,844 boe/d (81% crude oil). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed and turned to sales 10 gross (8.2 net) wells(5).

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Operating expenses were $57.4 million, or $25.39 per barrel of oil equivalent ("boe"), in the second quarter of 2021 including $12.74 per boe of depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses. Total cash direct operating expenses(6), which consist of lease operating expenses ("LOE"), gathering, processing, and transportation ("GPT") expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and cash general and administrative ("G&A") expenses, were $27.6 million, or $12.23 per boe, in the second quarter of 2021. Total G&A expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $3.09 per boe, which included $1.0 million of non-cash share-based compensation. For the second quarter of 2021, adjusted cash G&A expenses(7), which excludes non-cash share-based compensation, were $2.66 per boe, and LOE was $4.30 per boe.

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $7.6 million, and net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.0 million, or $0.20 per share and per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $94.7 million, or $6.24 per share, in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income(8) was $40.2 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021 versus $19.6 million, or $1.29 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDAX(3)(4) was $77.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $66.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, up primarily due to higher production and higher crude oil prices.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of June 30, 2021, Penn Virginia had cash of $49.7 million and total debt of $383.9 million, including borrowings under its revolving credit facility of $238.9 million. Liquidity was $160.4 million as of June 30, 2021, including cash and $110.7 million available under the Company's revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a Net Debt(2) to LTM adjusted EBITDAX ratio of approximately 1.3x(9) on a standalone basis, targeting approximately 1.0x, including the effects of the Lonestar acquisition, in early 2022.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company incurred $68.7 million of capital expenditures.

• Penn Virginia reduced estimated per well costs by approximately 4% compared to initial guidance estimates for wells completed in the second quarter of 2021, driven primarily by utilizing simulfrac operations and improvements in cycle times. The more efficient operational cadence allowed Penn Virginia to complete two additional multi-well pads at the end of the quarter, originally scheduled for completion in early July;
• The cycle time improvements shifted approximately $12.2 million in capital expenditures from the third quarter into the second quarter of 2021, resulting in total capital expenditures in the second quarter of approximately $68.7 million (equating to the low-end of guidance without the effect of cycle time improvements);
• Both pads were turned to sales in the third quarter; and
• Penn Virginia is maintaining its 2021 capital expenditure guidance for the full year, and the Company remains focused on capital discipline with a consistent two-rig development plan.

Senior Unsecured Notes

Following the end of the second quarter, Penn Virginia priced $400 million of senior unsecured notes with net proceeds anticipated to be used to refinance Lonestar’s existing long-term debt and Penn Virginia’s Second Lien Term Loan. Upon closing the Merger, Penn Virginia’s capitalization is expected to include the Notes and an upsized revolving credit facility to enhance liquidity .

Acreage

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 102,400 gross (90,400 net) acres. Approximately 91% of Penn Virginia's acreage is held by production.

Q3 2021 Outlook

The table below sets forth the Company's operational and financial guidance for the third quarter 2021(4):

Note: The Company's outlook for the third quarter is based on maintaining a 2-rig development program. However, the Company will closely monitor commodity prices and the service cost environment with the goal of ensuring the capital program generates robust returns and free cash flow.

Proved Developed(“PD”) Reserves

Penn Virginia, on a standalone basis (excluding the acquisition of Lonestar), obtained an updated third-party reserve report from D&M with respect to its PD reserves as of June 30, 2021. Pursuant to such reserve report, Penn Virginia's PD reserves as of June 30, 2021, were approximately 58.0 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMboe”). The PD reserves were calculated in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines using the pricing of $49.78 per barrel for oil and $2.43 per million British Thermal Units (MMBtu) for natural gas.

The table below sets forth the Company's Standardized Measure and SEC PV-10 Value(10) of the Company’s PD reserves as of June 30, 2021:

1 Realized prices, including effects of derivatives, net are non-GAAP measures. Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures appear at the end of this release.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Realized prices” to Non-GAAP “Realized prices, including effects of derivatives, net”
We present our realized prices for crude oil and natural gas, as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net as we believe these measures are useful to management and stakeholders in determining the effectiveness of our price-risk management program that is designed to reduce the volatility associated with our operations. Realized prices for crude oil and natural gas, as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net, are supplemental financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following table presents the calculation of our non-GAAP realized prices for crude oil and natural gas, as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net and reconciles to realized prices for crude oil and natural gas determined in accordance with GAAP:

Effects of derivatives includes, as applicable to the period presented: (i) current period commodity derivative settlements; (ii) the impact of option premiums paid or received in prior periods related to current period production; (iii) the impact of prior period cash settlements of early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against current period production; (iv) the exclusion of option premiums paid or received in current period related to future period production; and (v) the exclusion of the impact of current period cash settlements for early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against future period production.

CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - unaudited

Readers are reminded that non-GAAP measures are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, or superior to financial measures prepared according to GAAP. They should be evaluated in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Special Note About Presentation
Effective with our reporting for the period ended September 30, 2020, and for future periods, the Company changed the manner in which settlements from interest rate swap derivatives are presented in the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDAX.” Previously, our presentation of such interest rate swap settlements were commingled with commodity derivative settlements in the caption titled “Realized settlements, net.” Because these interest rate swap derivative financial instruments represent hedges of the interest expense attributable to our variable-rate debt instruments, we believe that the related gain or loss on our Consolidated Statements of Operations should be treated similarly to the exclusion of interest expense in the determination of “Adjusted EBITDAX.” In order to mitigate the potential for any confusion and to align our reporting with what we believe to be the dominant presentation methodology regarding such non-GAAP financial measures in our industry, which is also consistent with the treatment afforded such derivative financial instruments in our debt agreements, we will exclude the effect of such settlements in our non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDAX”. We have applied the aforementioned presentation methodology to all prior periods presented herein.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Net income (loss)” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted net income”
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income (loss) adjusted to include net realized settlements of derivatives and exclude the effects, net of income taxes, of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, impairments of oil and gas properties, net gains and losses on the sales of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, strategic transaction costs, organizational restructuring, including severance and income tax effect of adjustments. We believe that non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share amounts provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. This information facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors. Since management finds this measure to be useful, the Company believes that our investors can benefit by evaluating both non-GAAP and GAAP results. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income (loss).

1 Realized settlements, net includes, as applicable to the period presented: (i) current period commodity and interest rate derivative settlements; (ii) the impact of option premiums paid or received in prior periods related to current period production; (iii) the impact of prior period cash settlements of early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against current period production; (iv) the exclusion of option premiums paid or received in current period related to future period production; and (v) the exclusion of the impact of current period cash settlements for early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against future period production.

2 Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated based on diluted shares of 38.4 million (assumes the exchange of Series A Preferred stock and 22.5 million Common units held by Juniper for common shares), 37.9 million (assumes the exchange of Series A Preferred stock and 22.5 million Common units held by Juniper for common shares) and 15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and 38.1 million (assumes the exchange of Series A Preferred stock and 22.5 million Common units held by Juniper for common shares) and 15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Net income (loss)” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDAX”
Adjusted EBITDAX represents net income (loss) before loss on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, income taxes, impairments of oil and gas properties, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, further adjusted to include the net commodity realized settlements of derivatives and exclude the effects of gains and losses on sales of assets, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, and special items including strategic transaction costs, and organizational restructuring, including severance. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within our industry. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDAX as defined by Penn Virginia may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income or cash flows from operating activities. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of Penn Virginia’s results as reported under GAAP.

1 Realized commodity settlements, net includes, as applicable to the period presented: (i) current period commodity derivative settlements; (ii) the impact of option premiums paid or received in prior periods related to current period production; (iii) the impact of prior period cash settlements of early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against current period production; (iv) the exclusion of option premiums paid or received in current period related to future period production; and (v) the exclusion of the impact of current period cash settlements for early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against future period production.

2 Excludes Adjusted EBITDAX adjustments of approximately $3.5 million attributable to oil and gas properties contributed by Rocky Creek Resources/Juniper.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Operating expenses” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted direct operating expenses and Adjusted direct operating expenses per boe”
Adjusted direct operating expenses and adjusted direct operating expenses per boe are supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that exclude certain non-recurring expenses and non-cash expenses. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted total direct operating expense per boe is useful to investors because it provides readers with a meaningful measure of our cost profile and provides for greater comparability period-over-period.

Reconciliation of GAAP “General and administrative expenses” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted cash general and administrative expenses”
Adjusted cash general and administrative expenses is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain non-recurring expenses and non-cash share-based compensation expense. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted cash general and administrative expenses 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.

Definition and Explanation of Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes illustrates our ability to generate cash flows from our business that are available to be returned to our providers of financing capital represented primarily by our debt holders as we do not currently have a dividend or share repurchase program. We present Free Cash Flow as the excess (deficiency) of Discretionary cash flow over Capital additions, net. Discretionary cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled to GAAP net income above) less interest expense, debt issue costs, other, net and adjustments for income taxes refunded and changes for working capital. Capital additions represent our committed capital expenditure and acquisition transactions, net of any proceeds from the sales or disposition of assets. We believe Free Cash Flow is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies in many industries. Free Cash Flow should be considered as a supplement to net income as a measure of performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

1 Net debt at the beginning of the period has been adjusted for the net cash effects of the Transaction and debt amendments. See the following table for adjustments attributed to the Juniper transaction and debt amendments.

Net Debt
Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as total principal amount of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt, as adjusted, calculated on a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 to adjust for related impacts of the Juniper Transaction (refer to footnote 1 below). The most comparable financial measure to net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs under GAAP is principal amount of long-term debt. Net debt is used by management as a measure of our financial leverage. Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs should not be used by investors or others as the sole basis in formulating investment decisions as it does not represent the Company’s actual indebtedness.

1 Adjustments attributable to the Juniper Transaction and debt amendments include (i) prepayments of $80.5 million under the Credit Facility; (ii) prepayments of $51.3 million under the Second Lien Facility and (iii) transaction expenses of $0.6 million paid in excess of the $150 million received as a capital contribution from Juniper used to fund the prepayments and transaction expenses.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” to Non-GAAP “PV-10”
Non-GAAP PV-10 value is the estimated future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving effect to income taxes. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is the after-tax estimated future cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent, determined in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP PV-10 value as one measure of the value of our estimated proved reserves and to compare relative values of proved reserves amount exploration and production companies without regard to income taxes. We believe that securities analysts and rating agencies use PV-10 value in similar ways. Our management believes PV-10 value is a useful measure for comparison of proved reserve values among companies because, unlike standardized measure, it excludes future income taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location and quality of the reserves themselves.
