Unit Corporation Reports 2015 Third Quarter Results
Unit Corporation (NYSE: UNT) today reported its financial and
operational results for the third quarter of 2015. Highlights for the
quarter include:
-
Total production of 5.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), a
10% increase over the third quarter of 2014
-
Oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) production increased 5% over the
third quarter of 2014
-
Gas gathered and gas processed volumes per day increased 12% and 10%,
respectively, over the third quarter of 2014
THIRD QUARTER AND FIRST NINE MONTHS 2015 RESULTS
Adjusted net income for the quarter (which excludes the effect of
non-cash commodity derivatives and the effect of the non-cash ceiling
test write-down) was $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share (see
Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). Lower commodity prices continued to
impact Unit’s financial results. For the quarter, lower commodity prices
resulted in Unit incurring a pre-tax non-cash ceiling test write-down of
$329.9 million in the carrying value of the company’s oil and natural
gas properties. Although this write-down was a non-cash item, it
resulted in Unit recording a net loss of $205.3 million, or $4.18 per
share, for the quarter compared to net income of $67.5 million, or $1.37
per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014. Total revenues for the
quarter were $212.4 million (45% oil and natural gas, 31% contract
drilling, and 24% mid-stream), compared to $401.0 million (47% oil and
natural gas, 30% contract drilling, and 23% mid-stream) for the third
quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2015 third quarter (which
excludes the effect of non-cash commodity derivatives and the effect of
the loss on sale of assets primarily attributable to the sale of
drilling rigs and equipment) was $102.1 million or $2.07 per diluted
share (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).
Adjusted net loss for the first nine months (which excludes the effect
of non-cash commodity derivatives and the effects of the non-cash
write-downs) was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP
Financial Measures below). For the first nine months of 2015, Unit has
recorded pre-tax non-cash ceiling test write-downs of $1.1 billion in
the carrying value of the company’s oil and natural gas properties and
$8.3 million (pre-tax) in its drilling rigs and other assets. Due to
these write-downs, Unit recorded a net loss of $728.0 million, or $14.83
per share, compared to net income of $178.8 million, or $3.65 per
diluted share, for the first nine months of 2014. Total revenues for the
first nine months were $681.9 million (45% oil and natural gas, 32%
contract drilling, and 23% mid-stream), compared to $1.2 billion (48%
oil and natural gas, 29% contract drilling, and 23% mid-stream) for the
first nine months of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of
2015 (which excludes the effect of non-cash commodity derivatives and
the effect of the loss on sale of assets primarily attributable to the
sale of drilling rigs and equipment) was $311.1 million or $6.31 per
diluted share (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).

Currently, two Unit drilling rigs are operating for this segment. One is
operating in the Southern Oklahoma Hoxbar Oil Trend (SOHOT) and one is
drilling in the Wilcox play, located in Southeast Texas. The current
plan is to keep these two Unit drilling rigs operating through the end
of the year. Unit’s expectations are to be at the top end of the revised
upward 2015 production guidance of 6% to 8% growth over 2014.
Anticipated capital expenditures are estimated to be in line with
projected cash flow. Well service cost reductions and operating
efficiencies are resulting in current AFE’s continuing to be
approximately 28% lower as compared to 2014.
In the SOHOT area, four horizontal operated Hoxbar wells were completed
during the third quarter with one well in the Marchand bench and three
wells in the Medrano bench. During the first nine months of 2015, a
total of three Marchand wells and nine Medrano wells were completed. The
30 day initial production rate for the 2015 Marchand wells averaged
1,345 Boe per day (79% oil, 11% NGLs) which is 7% higher than the
current type curve. The 30 day initial production rate for the 2015
Medrano wells averaged 7.0 MMcfe per day (8% oil, 21% NGLs). Production
during the quarter averaged 6,574 Boe per day (31% oil, 25% NGLs), which
is an increase of 186% as compared to the third quarter 2014. Going
forward, the drilling program for the Hoxbar will focus primarily on the
oily Marchand bench, with higher returns under current commodity pricing.
In the Wilcox area, production for the quarter averaged 82 MMcfe per day
(11% oil, 31% NGLs) which is a 32% increase over the third quarter of
2014, and an 18% increase over the second quarter 2015. The strong
production growth is primarily a result of recent horizontal and
vertical well completions. Five new vertical Wilcox wells were completed
during the quarter, bringing the total for 2015 to 13 wells (three
horizontal) with a 100% completion success rate. The vertical Unit Wing
#14 well (75% working interest) was completed in September flowing
approximately 8.6 MMcfe per day (13% oil, 29% NGLs) with 6,500 pounds
flowing tubing pressure from 83 net feet of Wilcox sand. The completed
well cost is approximately $4.6 million. The well has an additional
Wilcox zone behind pipe with 62 net feet of potential pay. This well
extends the Gilly field approximately 2,000 feet to the east.
Preliminary results from the three horizontal wells will be discussed on
the conference call.
Larry Pinkston, Unit’s Chief Executive Officer and President, said:
“Recently, we announced that strong well results primarily in our SOHOT,
Wilcox and our Granite Wash plays, have allowed us to increase our
production guidance for 2015 to 6% - 8% from our previous guidance of 2%
- 4%. We also announced that our 2015 capital expenditures are expected
to be approximately $30 million less than originally budgeted. This
reduction is primarily because of the efficiencies we have made in this
segment.”
CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT INFORMATION
The average number of drilling rigs used in the quarter was 31.2, a
decrease of 61% from the third quarter of 2014, and an increase of 2%
over the second quarter of 2015. Per day drilling rig rates for the
quarter averaged $18,800, a decrease of 6% from the third quarter of
2014 and a 5% decrease from the second quarter of 2015. Average per day
operating margin for the quarter was $10,368 (before elimination of
intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense of $0.2 million).
This compares to $8,449 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig
profit and bad debt expense of $7.6 million) for the third quarter of
2014, an increase of 23%, or $1,919. As compared to $6,821 (before
elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense of
$0.5 million) for the second quarter of 2015, third quarter 2015
operating margin increased 52% or $3,547 (in each case regarding
eliminating intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense - see
Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). Average operating margins for the
third quarter of 2015 included early termination fees of approximately
$11.4 million, or $3,958 per day, from the cancellation of certain
long-term contracts, compared to no early termination fees during the
third quarter of 2014 and $1.6 million, or $594 per day, for the second
quarter of 2015. Third quarter 2015 average operating margins improved
3% over second quarter 2015 (both periods net of early termination fees.)
Larry Pinkston said: “Drilling rig demand declined somewhat during the
quarter due to decreases in commodity prices. Our current drilling rig
fleet totals 94 drilling rigs, of which 28 are working under contract.
During the third quarter, we were notified of a customer's intent to
terminate early the contracts on two BOSS drilling rigs, both of which
are under term contracts that contain early termination penalties. We
have been in discussions with the customer and it appears likely that
they will keep one of the BOSS drilling rigs through its remaining term
although the start date is pending. We recently contracted the other
BOSS drilling rig to a third party operator. Long-term contracts
(contracts with original terms ranging from six months to two years in
length) are in place for 11 of the 28 drilling rigs. Of the 11 long-term
contracts, one is up for renewal during the fourth quarter, seven in
2016 and three in 2017.”

Larry Pinkston said: “In the Appalachian area, we continue to make
progress with a new well pad being connected to our Pittsburgh Mills
gathering system. The pad came online in October 2015. The operator
currently plans additional pads in 2016. Our Snowshoe gathering project,
located in Centre County, Pennsylvania, is nearing completion and is
planned to be operational by year end 2015. At our various gas
processing facilities in the Mid-Continent, we continue to operate in
full ethane rejection mode due to low liquids prices, which continues to
impact our liquids sold volumes.”
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Unit ended the quarter with long-term debt of $908.2 million (consisting
of $646.5 million of senior subordinated notes net of unamortized
discount and $261.7 million of borrowings under its credit agreement).
During the quarter, Unit’s lenders completed their regularly scheduled
semi-annual borrowing base redetermination under its credit agreement.
Unit’s borrowing base was determined to be $550 million, which remains
above its elected commitment level of $500 million. No other terms under
the credit agreement changed because of the redetermination and Unit is
fully in compliance with the financial covenants in the credit
agreement. Unit has elected to maintain its elected commitment amount at
$500 million, which it believes will meet its financing needs during
this current commodity cycle.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unit Corporation reports its financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes
certain non-GAAP performance measures provide users of its financial
information and its management additional meaningful information to
evaluate the performance of the company.
This press release includes net income and earnings per share including
impairment adjustments and the effect of the cash settled commodity
derivatives, its drilling segment’s average daily operating margin
before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt
expense, its cash flow from operations before changes in operating
assets and liabilities, and its reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA.
Below is a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP
financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2015 and 2014. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered by
themselves or a substitute for results reported in accordance with GAAP.
