EV Energy Partners Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results, Additional Commodity Hedges, Year-end Proved Reserves and 2017 Guidance
HOUSTON, March 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EV Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ:EVEP) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016 and the filing of its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, EVEP announced its 2016 year-end proved reserves and 2017 guidance.
Highlights
Overall operating results for the year in line with 2016 guidance
Completed divestment of certain gas-weighted assets in the Barnett Shale for $52.1 million on December 1, 2016 (before post-closing purchase price adjustments)
Completed $58.7 million asset purchase on January 31, 2017 (before post-closing purchase price adjustments) in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk in Karnes County, TX using proceeds from the Barnett Shale divestiture through a like-kind exchange transaction and $6.6 million of borrowings under the credit facility
Repurchased $82.7 million of outstanding Senior Secured Notes due April 2019 for $35 million
Increased capital spending budget to $30 to $45 million for 2017 from $10.7 million in 2016
Maintained significant liquidity, which is currently over $175 million, between borrowing base capacity and cash on hand
Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
For the fourth quarter 2016, EVEP reported a net loss of $165.7 million, or $(3.31) per basic and diluted weighted average limited partner unit outstanding compared to a net loss of $19.2 million, or $(0.38) per basic and diluted weighted average limited partner unit outstanding for the third quarter of 2016. Included in net loss were the following items:
$127.9 million of impairment charges primarily related to the write-down of certain oil and natural gas properties due to the effects of commodity prices on expected future net cash flows and the disposition of oil and natural gas properties,
$27.5 million of non-cash losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives, and
$1.8 million of non-cash costs contained in general and administrative expenses.
For the fourth quarter of 2015, EVEP reported a net loss of $71.3 million, or $(1.43) per basic and diluted weighted average limited partner unit outstanding.
Production for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 11 Bcf of natural gas, 278 Mbbls of oil and 547 Mbbls of natural gas liquids, or 173.6 million cubic feet equivalent per day (Mmcfe/day). This represents a 17 percent decrease from fourth quarter 2015 production of 209.8 Mmcfe/d and an 11 percent decrease from third quarter 2016 production of 195.3 Mmcfe/day. The decreases were primarily due to reduced drilling activity and the divestitures completed on December 1, 2016.
Adjusted EBITDAX for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $28.5 million, a 46 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of 2015 and a 10 percent increase over the third quarter of 2016. Distributable Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $7.9 million, a 70 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of 2015 and a 24 percent increase over the third quarter of 2016. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow from the fourth quarter of 2015 were attributable to lower realized hedge gains and lower production, partially offset by higher realized oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices. The increases in Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow over the third quarter of 2016 were primarily due to higher realized oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices and lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower production. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow are Non-GAAP financial measures and are described in the attached table under “Non-GAAP Measures.”
Full Year 2016 Results
For 2016, EVEP reported a net loss of $242.9 million, or $(4.85) per basic and diluted weighted average limited partner unit outstanding as compared to net income of $21.3 million, or $0.41 per basic and diluted weighted average limited partner unit outstanding for 2015. Included in net loss were the following items:
$131.3 million of impairment charges primarily related to the write-down of certain oil and natural gas properties due to the effects of commodity prices on expected future net cash flows and the disposition of oil and natural gas properties,
$93.8 million of non-cash losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives,
$47.7 million of gain on early extinguishment of debt related to repurchases of Senior Notes at a discount to par,
$6.6 million of non-cash costs contained in general and administrative expenses,
$3.2 of gain on settlement of contract, and
$0.7 million of dry hole and exploration costs.
Production for 2016 was 49.3 Bcf of natural gas, 1.2 Mmbbls of oil and 2.3 Mmbbls of natural gas liquids, or 192.9 Mmcfe/day, which is a 10 percent increase over 2015 production of 174.8 Mmcfe/day. The increase over 2015 production was primarily due to the addition of producing properties acquired on October 1, 2015.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow for 2016 of $101.3 million and $18.7 million decreased 50 percent and 81 percent, respectively, versus 2015. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow as compared to 2015 are primarily due to lower realized hedge gains and lower realized oil and natural gas prices, partially offset by the addition of producing properties acquired on October 1, 2015, lower operating expenses and higher realized natural gas liquids prices.
"In 2016, our overall results were in line with guidance, we continued to reduce operating costs through the hard work of our asset teams, and we reduced debt by $83 million. In December, we sold some of our Barnett Shale natural gas assets, and in January, redeployed the proceeds in an oil-weighted Karnes County acquisition that we believe has significantly more drilling opportunities at attractive rates of return in the current commodity price environment. In 2017, we plan to increase our capital spending, while remaining focused on our cost structure and maintaining sufficient liquidity," said Michael Mercer, President and CEO.
Additional Commodity Hedges
EVEP entered into the following additional commodity hedges in 2016 subsequent to its press release on November 9, 2016. EVEP's current hedge position, including these new hedges, is presented at the end of this press release under Total Current Hedge Position.

Year-end 2016 Estimated Net Proved Reserves
EVEP’s year-end 2016 estimated net proved reserves were 851 Bcfe. Approximately 68 percent were natural gas, 23 percent were natural gas liquids and 9 percent were crude oil. In addition, 90 percent were categorized as proved developed. Year-end 2016 estimated net proved reserves decreased by 22 percent or 246 Bcfe from year-end 2015 estimated net proved reserves due to reduced commodity pricing, asset divestitures, and volumes produced and sold during 2016. The prices used in determining estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2016 were $42.75 per Bbl of oil and $2.48 per Mmbtu of natural gas as compared to $50.28 per Bbl of oil and $2.59 per Mmbtu of natural gas at December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2016, the present value of future net pre-tax cash flows discounted at 10 percent (“PV 10”) was $373.6 million (a non-GAAP measure) and the standardized measure of estimated net proved reserves was $371.1 million. Standardized measure is the present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), without giving effect to non–property related expenses such as certain general and administrative expenses, debt service and future federal income tax expenses or to depreciation, depletion and amortization and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10 percent. Our standardized measure includes approximately $2.5 million of present value of future obligations under the Texas gross margin tax, but it does not include future federal income tax expenses because we are a partnership and are not subject to federal income taxes. We have included PV 10 because we believe it is a measure frequently utilized by investors.
EVEP’s year-end 2016 estimated net proved reserves and standardized measure are net of the recently announced divestiture of 74 Bcf of proved natural gas properties in the Barnett Shale on December 1, 2016 and prior to the acquisition of estimated net proved reserves of 35 Bcfe of Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk oil and natural gas properties in Karnes County, TX which closed on January 31, 2017.

For comparative purposes, utilizing NYMEX forward closing prices for oil and natural gas on December 30, 2016 (the last trading day of 2016), total NYMEX strip-based proved reserves at December 31, 2016 were 1,277 Bcfe (69 percent proved developed), with a PV 10 of $790 million, an increase of 426 Bcfe over SEC reserves and $416 million over SEC PV 10. Also at these prices, our January 2017 Karnes County, TX acquisition had strip-based proved reserves of 38 Bcfe (21 percent proved developed), with a PV 10 of $87 million. NYMEX strip-based proved reserves are calculated based on the SEC proved reserves estimation methodology, but applying NYMEX strip prices rather than SEC prices. We believe that the PV 10 of NYMEX strip-based reserves is useful to investors to illustrate the potential value of proved reserves that are economically recoverable in the current commodity price environment rather than SEC prices. Neither the PV 10 of our SEC reserves, the PV 10 of our NYMEX strip-based reserves nor the standardized measure represents an estimate of fair market value of our oil and natural gas properties.

Non GAAP Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) plus income from discontinued operations, EBITDAX from discontinued operations, income taxes, interest expense, net, cash settlements of matured interest rate swaps, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion expense on obligations, amortization of volumetric production payment (VPP), loss (gain) on derivatives, net, cash settlements of matured derivative contracts, non-cash equity-based compensation, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, impairment of goodwill, non-cash inventory write down expense, dry hole and exploration costs, gain on sales of oil and natural gas properties, loss (gain) on settlement of contract, gain on early extinguishment of debt, and (gain) loss on sale of investment, contained in Other income, net. Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX less cash income taxes, cash interest expense, net, realized losses on interest rate swaps, and estimated maintenance capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow are used by our management to provide additional information and statistics relative to the performance of our business, including (prior to the creation of any reserves) the cash available to pay distributions to our unitholders. We believe these financial measures may indicate to investors whether or not we are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support quarterly distributions. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow are also quantitative standards used throughout the investment community with respect to performance of publicly-traded partnerships. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among companies. Therefore, our Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
