SandRidge Energy, Inc. Updates Shareholders on Operations and Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2015
Wed August 5, 2015 4:15 PM|PR Newswire | About: SD


OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SD) today announced financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, presentation slides will be available on the Company's website, www.sandridgeenergy.com, under Investor Relations/Events at 7 am ET on August 6th.

Strong second quarter production rates and drilling results supported an increase in the midpoint of production volume guidance for the 2015 calendar year. New guidance introduced today estimates 2015 production to be between 29.0 and 30.5 MMBoe (vs. prior range of 28.0 to 30.5 MMBoe).

During the second quarter, CEBA Midstream, LP, SandRidge's wholly-owned saltwater gathering and midstream subsidiary, received a favorable ruling from the IRS (IRS) providing that revenues earned by CEBA from its produced water gathering and disposal operations constitute "qualifying income" under regulations applicable to master limited partnerships.

SandRidge issued $1.25 billion of second lien notes on June 10, 2015. Concurrently, the Company revised its first lien credit facility, lowering its borrowing base and providing for less restrictive financial covenants. The restated facility is subject to maintenance of a first lien leverage ratio (senior first lien secured debt/LTM pro forma EBITDA) of not more than 2.0 times and a minimum current ratio (including available borrowing capacity) of at least 1.0 times. The borrowing base is currently $500 million.

As part of today's release, SandRidge is introducing standalone guidance for its Mid-Continent operations as well as updating full company guidance.

"With the highgrading of our drilling program in 2015, production has outpaced expectations and we are raising the lower end of our production guidance by one million barrels, with a midpoint now at 29.8 MMBoe. Further, our per lateral well costs have decreased by 20% year to date, including $290,000 of efficiency gains, which is $30,000 more than projected in the first quarter of 2015. These efficiencies evidence our team's focus on continually improving the cost structure of the business and will continue to drive value, as they are durable across any price environment. These cost reduction efforts, consistent production results and lower infrastructure spending preserve program returns." said James Bennett, SandRidge's Chief Executive Officer and President.

"Our recent second lien financing greatly enhances our liquidity position, enabling continued progress on both development of our large Mississippian play and expansion into other zones such as the oilier Chester. In addition, the recently received PLR for our CEBA Midstream business is an important step towards unlocking value in our material infrastructure position. SandRidge has diverse options to create value for shareholders and expanded liquidity, assuring we are well positioned to capitalize on future opportunities."

Key Financial Results

Second Quarter

Adjusted EBITDA, net of Noncontrolling Interest, was $161 million for second quarter 2015 compared to $202 million in second quarter 2014
Adjusted operating cash flow of $111 million for second quarter 2015 compared to $179 million in second quarter 2014
Adjusted net loss of $17.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for second quarter 2015 compared to adjusted net income of $25.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in second quarter 2014

Six Months

Adjusted EBITDA, net of Noncontrolling Interest, was $343 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $371 million in the first six months of 2014, pro forma for divestitures
Adjusted operating cash flow of $257 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $306 million in the first six months of 2014
Adjusted net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2015 compared to adjusted net income of $61.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2014

Adjusted net (loss) income available to common stockholders, adjusted EBITDA, 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 9.

Financial / Other Highlights

Ended the second quarter with $1.5 billion in liquidity, $984 million in cash
93% hedged on remaining projected 2015 liquids volumes, $50 WTI for the remainder of 2015 realizes $74.30 per barrel of oil
Mark-to-market hedge position of $144 million as of June 30, 2015
Incurred a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.5 billion due to a ceiling test impairment, resulting from a significant decline in oil price

Operational Highlights

Steve Turk, SandRidge's Chief Operating Officer noted, "Supporting competitive project returns, the team achieved $2.4 million Mississippian lateral costs ahead of plan and set a new cost target of $2.3 million in the remaining half of 2015. Anticipated higher production, coupled with reduced lifting costs and improved field efficiencies, led to a decreased operating cost guidance range. Recent multilateral results, including the Rusty 2710 long lateral, drilled for $1.8 million per lateral with a 30-day IP rate of 1,646 Boepd, strengthen our commitment to develop this important technology. With a focus on innovation, our skilled technical team continues to enhance our full section development multilateral design. We expect further cost and efficiency improvements going forward. Finally, Chester wells put to sales in the quarter averaged 338 Boepd (61% oil), which validates our plan to increase activity in this emerging multiple pay project during the second half of 2015."

Average second quarter production of 89.0 MBoepd. This represents a 1% increase versus the first quarter of 2015
Original cost target of $2.4 million per Mississippian lateral achieved in the second quarter, with a new target of $2.3 million in the back half of the year
Second quarter Mid-Continent lateral 30-day IP rates of 387 Boepd, 53% oil, 110% of Mississippian type curve

Drilling and Operational Activities

Mid-Continent: During the second quarter of 2015, SandRidge drilled 43 laterals. The Company averaged seven horizontal rigs operating in the play. The Company's Mid-Continent assets produced 79.3 MBoepd during the second quarter (32% Oil, 18% NGLs, 50% Natural Gas). All references to the Mid-Continent are inclusive of the Company's legacy Mid-Continent properties.

West Texas: During the second quarter, Permian Basin properties produced approximately 4.5 MBoepd (86% Oil, 10% NGLs, 4% Natural Gas). Legacy West Texas Overthrust properties produced approximately 5.2 MBoepd (2% Oil, 98% Natural Gas).

EBITDA from Oilfield Services and Other is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes from net income interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for EBITDA from Oilfield Services and Other is Net Income from Oilfield Services and Other. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast the excluded items for future periods and/or does not forecast the excluded items on a segment basis.

(2)


Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes gain or loss due to changes in fair value of derivative contracts and gain or loss on sale of assets. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast the excluded items for future periods.

(3)


Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes from net income interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, gain or loss due to changes in fair value of derivative contracts and gain or loss on sale of assets. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast the excluded items for future periods.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) 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 on financing derivatives. It defines EBITDA as net loss before income tax expense (benefit), 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, loss (gain) on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, (gain) loss on sale of assets, severance, oil field services Permian exit costs, gain on extinguishment of debt and other various 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 asset impairment, loss (gain) on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, (gain) loss on sale of assets, severance, oil field services Permian exit costs, gain on extinguishment of debt and other non-cash items from 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 (loss) 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 and loss (gain) on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts attributable to third party ownership in less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries from net (loss) income 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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, including, but not limited to, the information appearing under the heading "Operational Guidance." 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 projections and estimates of the Company's corporate strategies, future operations, net income and EBITDA, drilling plans, oil, and natural gas and natural gas liquids production, price realizations and differentials, operating, general and administrative and other costs, capital expenditures, tax rates, efficiency and cost reduction initiative outcomes, infrastructure utilization and investment, and development plans and appraisal programs. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. 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.
