Callon Petroleum Company Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Callon Petroleum Company (NYSE: CPE) ("Callon" or the "Company") today reported results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

  • Increased production by 8% year-over-year to 37.8 Mboe/d (78% oil)
  • Generated an operating margin of $35.58 per Boe
  • Realized fully diluted earnings per share of $0.21, adjusted earnings per share of $0.19, net income of $55.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $117.4 million(i)
  • Reduced operational capital spending by 13% during the third quarter to $116.4 million, maintaining full year operational capital targets within the previously lowered guidance range
  • Achieved lease operating expense ("LOE") per Boe of $5.65, an improvement of nearly 9% over the prior period
  • Completed and placed on production large multi-interval, multi-pad projects in both the Midland and Delaware Basins with strong initial performance from both projects

"The hard work by our team throughout this quarter has continued to produce exceptional results with production ahead of expectations, operating expenses moving lower, and discretionary cash flow in line with operational capital spending. Our successful mega-pad development projects are not only generating significant and durable cost savings but have exhibited solid productivity. In addition, the continued efforts to optimize previously acquired assets have resulted in incremental value to shareholders as our team has made noteworthy progress on well productivity and operational costs across our expanded asset base," commented Joe Gatto, Callon's President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "We remain focused on preparing to integrate the Callon and Carrizo teams and operations upon closing and will strive to exceed our own expectations for capital efficiency and targeted synergy capture. In the current commodity environment, we recognize the need to be a low cost producer and are prepared to execute a program that will drive free cash flow generation, optimize asset development, accelerate deleveraging efforts, and deliver improved returns on invested capital to our shareholders in the near term."

Operations Update

At September 30, 2019, we had 492 gross (335.3 net) horizontal wells producing in the Permian Basin. Net daily production for the three months ended September 30, 2019 grew 8% to 37.8 Mboe/d (78% oil), as compared to the same period of 2018, or 25% when accounting for divested volumes from the sale of our Southern Midland Basin assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we drilled 12 gross (11.0 net) horizontal wells and placed a combined 16 gross (15.6 net) horizontal wells on production. The majority of wells placed on production were associated with two large multi-well developments, one each in the Delaware and Midland basins as described below. The two additional wells were placed on production at the end of September.

The Rag Run mega-pad, Callon's initial large-scale development project in the Delaware Basin, was placed on production near the end of July and includes co-development of two Wolfcamp A flow units and the Wolfcamp B with simultaneous operations of two completion crews. Through the first 90 days of production, these wells have averaged approximately 1,000 Boe per day (~80% oil). This project was placed on production using a more conservative choke management strategy than previous wells, which the Company expects to employ on future developments of this nature to optimize long-term well performance. The significant drilling and completion cost savings realized on this initial Delaware mega-pad, which resulted in an average total well cost of less than $1,100 per lateral foot, are representative of the synergy capture the Company expects to attain in 2020 and beyond after closing the pending acquisition and shifting to larger pad development as part of normal operations in the Delaware Basin.

The seven well project that was placed on production in the Midland Basin at the beginning of September included a multi-interval development of three Lower Spraberry and four Wolfcamp A wells within the Fairway area of our Howard County assets. Through the first 50 days, the combined seven wells have achieved average daily production of approximately 850 Boe per day (~90% oil). These wells were drilled and completed offsetting historical producing wells and have performed in-line with the offset single well pads in these sections.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $116.4 million in operational capital expenditures (including other items) on an accrual basis as compared to $133.5 million in the second quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of 13%. Total capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized expenses, are detailed below on an accrual and cash basis (in thousands):

Total Revenue. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, Callon reported total revenue of $155.4 million and total revenue including settled derivatives ("Adjusted Total Revenue," a non-GAAP financial measure(i)) of $156.4 million, including the impact of a $1.0 million gain 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 37.8 Mboe/d, compared to average daily production of 40.5 Mboe/d in the second quarter of 2019, a period which included volumes associated with our southern Midland Basin divestiture that closed on June 12, 2019. Average realized prices, including and excluding the effects of hedging, are detailed above.

Hedging impacts. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the net gain (loss) on commodity derivative instruments includes the following:

Lease Operating Expenses, including workover ("LOE"). LOE per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $5.65 per Boe, compared to LOE of $6.18 per Boe in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease on a per unit basis was attributable to a reduction in chemical usage, repairs and maintenance, and workovers compared to the previous period.

Production Taxes, including ad valorem taxes. Production taxes were $3.41 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing approximately 7.6% of total revenue before the impact of derivative settlements. The incremental increase as compared to the second quarter of 2019 and third quarter of 2018 is due to an increase in ad valorem taxes based upon a higher valuation of our oil and gas properties by the taxing jurisdictions.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization ("DD&A"). DD&A for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $16.09 per Boe compared to $17.07 per Boe in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was attributed to lower future development costs for PUD locations relative to our historical rate.

General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A was $9.4 million, or $2.70 per Boe, and G&A, excluding certain non-cash incentive share-based compensation valuation adjustments, ("Adjusted G&A", a non-GAAP measure(i)) was $10.3 million, or $2.96 per Boe, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $10.6 million, or $2.87 per Boe, and $11.4 million, or $3.10 per Boe, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019. The cash component of Adjusted G&A was $8.8 million, or $2.52 per Boe, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $8.9 million, or $2.42 per Boe, for the second quarter of 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 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):

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 expense of $17.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change in income tax expense is based upon net income generated in the respective periods.

Updated 2019 Guidance (Stand-Alone Callon)

The Company is updating guidance for the full year 2019 to reflect positive operational performance throughout the first three quarters of the year. This updated guidance does not take into effect the Carrizo merger, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter, subject to shareholder approvals.

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 contained within this release 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 fully diluted common 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.
  • Callon calculates adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, (gains) losses on derivative instruments excluding net settled derivative instruments, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash equity based compensation, and other operating expenses. 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.

Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts. The words "anticipate," "believe," "ensure," "expect," "if," "intend," "estimate," "probable," "project," "forecasts," "predict," "outlook," "aim," "will," "could," "should," "would," "potential," "may," "might," "anticipate," "likely" "plan," "positioned," "strategy," and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including, but not limited to, failure to obtain the required votes of Callon's shareholders or Carrizo's shareholders to approve the transaction and related matters; whether any redemption of Carrizo's preferred stock will be necessary or will occur prior to the closing of the transaction; the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied, that either party may terminate the merger agreement or that the closing of the proposed transaction might be delayed or not occur at all; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of Callon and Carrizo; the effects of the business combination of Callon and Carrizo, including the combined company's future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; the ability of the combined company to realize anticipated synergies in the timeframe expected or at all; changes in capital markets and the ability of the combined company to finance operations in the manner expected; regulatory approval of the transaction; the effects of commodity prices; and the risks of oil and gas activities. Expectations regarding business outlook, including changes in revenue, pricing, capital expenditures, cash flow generation, strategies for our operations, oil and natural gas market conditions, legal, economic and regulatory conditions, and environmental matters are only forecasts regarding these matters.

Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in Callon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and the quarter ended June 30, 2019, each of which is on file with the SEC and available from Callon's website at www.callon.com under the "Investors" tab, and in other documents Callon files with the SEC, and in Carrizo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and the quarter ended June 30, 2019, each of which is on file with the SEC and available from Carrizo's website at www.carrizo.com under the "Investor Relations" tab, and in other documents Carrizo files with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Neither Callon nor Carrizo assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws.
