HOUSTON, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE American: BATL, “Battalion” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2024.
Key Highlights
- Previously announced AGI project online in Q1 2024 and achieved new record of 32 MMcf/d of throughput
- Drilled and completed two wells in Monument Draw in Q1 2024
- Generated first quarter 2024 sales volumes of 12,989 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”)
- Executed a $20.0 million preferred equity raise in March 2024 and an additional $20.0 million preferred equity raise in May 2024 to support drilling program and debt reduction
- Continuing strategic alternatives initiative and are working toward closing our previously announced merger agreement with Fury Resources
Management Comments
During the first quarter 2024, the previously announced two well Glacier pad came online and began producing exceptional quantities of oil and gas. These wells came online below cost budget, above projected type curve, with substantial pressure support and 30-day IP’s over 1,950 Boe/d and 1,750 Boe/d, respectively. Two additional wells (Rio Bravo pad) were drilled to total depth and completed. These wells are now flowing back. The drilling rig has finished drilling an additional two-well pad (Vermejo pad) in Monument Draw. All operations have been favorable to plan from both a capital and timing perspective.
During the first quarter 2024, the acid gas injection (“AGI”) project restarted operations and began taking gas from the Company with approximately 326 MMcf being treated at the AGI facility and approximately 266 MMcf of sweet gas being returned to the Company for sales to its midstream partner. The Company has continued to increase volume sent to the AGI facility. As the AGI facility continues to ramp to full capacity, the Company expects to save up to $2.0 million per month in gas treating costs.
Results of Operations
Average daily net production and total operating revenue during the first quarter of 2024 were 12,989 Boe/d (48% oil) and $49.9 million, respectively, as compared to production and revenue of 16,200 Boe/d (50% oil) and $65.1 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in revenues in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023 is attributable to an approximate 3,211 Boe/d decrease in average daily production and a $2.17 decrease in average realized prices (excluding the impact of hedges). Excluding the impact of hedges, Battalion realized 97.3% of the average NYMEX oil price during the first quarter of 2024. Realized hedge losses totaled approximately $4.4 million during the first quarter 2024.
Lease operating and workover expense was $10.55 per Boe in the first quarter of 2024 versus $8.94 per Boe in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in lease operating and workover expense per Boe year-over-year is primarily a result of an inflationary market increase in maintenance, power and chemical costs combined with a decrease in average daily production. Gathering and other expense was $14.62 per Boe in the first quarter of 2024 versus $11.33 per Boe in the first quarter of 2023. The increases in gathering and other expenses per Boe are primarily related to midstream disruptions and plant curtailments as well as an increased percentage of total production requiring H2S treatment and inflationary impacts on costs associated with our own hydrogen sulfide treating plant. General and administrative expenses were $3.44 per Boe in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $3.53 per Boe in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll and benefits in connection with the headcount reduction in 2023 compared with the prior year period partially offset by an increase in audit, legal and transaction costs associated with the potential merger with Fury Resources.
For the first quarter of 2024, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $36.8 million and a net loss of $2.24 per share available to common stockholders. After adjusting for selected items, the Company reported an adjusted diluted net loss available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2024 of $17.1 million, or an adjusted diluted net loss of $1.04 per common share (see Reconciliation for additional information). Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $9.4 million as compared to $26.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (see Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information).
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
On March 27, 2024, 20,000 shares of preferred equity remaining under a support letter obtained in November 2023 were sold for proceeds of $19.5 million, net of discount.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $190.0 million of indebtedness outstanding and approximately $0.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. Total liquidity on March 31, 2024, made up of cash and cash equivalents, was $48.9 million.
On May 13, 2024, 20,000 shares of preferred equity were sold for proceeds of $19.5 million, net of discount. On May 14, 2024, the Company used $17.3 million of the proceeds from the sale of the preferred equity to pay down debt, resulting in $172.7 million of indebtedness outstanding and approximately $0.3 million of letters of credit outstanding.

General and administrative, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP measure that excludes non-cash stock-based compensation charges relating to equity awards under our incentive stock plan, as well as other cash charges associated with non-recurring charges and other. The Company believes that it is useful to understand the effects that these charges have on general and administrative expenses and total operating costs and that exclusion of such charges is useful for comparison to prior periods. |

Amount reflects net (loss) income available to common stockholders on a diluted basis for earnings per share purposes as calculated using the two-class method of computing earnings per share which is further described in Note 10, Earnings Per Share in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. |
| (2) |
Net (loss) income per share excluding selected items and cash flows from operations before changes in working capital adjusted for selected items are non-GAAP measures presented based on management's belief that they will enable a user of the financial information to understand the impact of these items on reported results. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, earnings per share and cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures that other companies may use and may not be useful in comparing the performance of those companies to Battalion's performance. |
| (3) |
The impact of selected items for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were calculated based upon weighted average diluted shares of 16.5 million and 16.4 million shares, respectively, due to the net (loss) income available to common stockholders, excluding selected items. |
