Pioneer Natural Resources Company Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial and Operating Results
Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) (“Pioneer” or “the
Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2018.
Pioneer reported second quarter net income attributable to common
stockholders of $66 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. Without the
effect of noncash mark-to-market (MTM) derivative losses of $170 million
after tax, or $0.99 per diluted share, and asset divestiture related net
charges of $7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, adjusted income for
the second quarter was $243 million after tax, or $1.41 per diluted
share.
Second quarter financial and operating highlights included:
-
producing 280 thousand barrels oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD) in the
Permian Basin (272 MBOEPD after adjusting for the
unanticipated impact of certain items1); Permian Basin oil
production increased to 175 thousand barrels of oil per day (MBOPD)
(177 MBOPD after adjusting for the same items2);
placing 67 horizontal wells on production;
-
producing 328 MBOEPD companywide (320 MBOEPD after
adjusting for the same items3); adjusted production was
near the top end of Pioneer’s second quarter production guidance range
of 312 MBOEPD to 322 MBOEPD;
-
continuing to maintain a strong balance sheet with cash on hand at the
end of the second quarter of $1.5 billion (including liquid
investments); cash on hand reflects the repayment of $450 million of
senior notes in May 2018; net debt to forecasted 2018 operating cash
flow was 0.2 times and net debt-to-book capitalization was 6% at the
end of the second quarter;
-
repurchasing $51 million of common stock during the first half of
2018; purchases were attributable to the Company’s $100 million
authorized share repurchase program and share-based employee awards
that vested in 2018; share purchases are intended to offset dilution
associated with employee stock awards;
-
delivering approximately 165 MBOPD of the Company’s Permian Basin oil
production to the Gulf Coast under firm transportation (FT) contracts;
the Company exported 103 MBOPD of the total volumes delivered to the
Gulf Coast; FT uplift associated with Gulf Coast refinery and export
sales added $69 million of incremental cash flow; greater than 90% of
Pioneer’s forecasted Permian Basin oil production is covered under FT
contracts through early 2021, with these volumes receiving
Brent-related pricing;
-
executing contract option to receive West Texas Intermediate (WTI)
Cushing pricing on the Company’s Permian Basin oil production volumes
in excess of Gulf Coast FT commitments; beginning in September 2018,
Pioneer will have no exposure to Midland oil pricing through 2020;
-
delivering approximately 70% of the Company’s Permian Basin gas
production under firm pipeline contracts tied to the southern
California gas price index; the remainder is sold primarily under term
contracts at Waha pricing; southern California priced sales received
an uplift of $0.25 per thousand cubic feet of gas (MCF) versus Waha
sales; and
-
placing a three-well Wolfcamp D pad on production in the southern
Wolfcamp joint venture acreage utilizing Version 3.0 completions; pad
delivered 90-day cumulative production of 373 MBOE (60% oil),
representing an improvement of approximately 75% over 2014 and 2015
Wolfcamp D wells drilled and completed in this area.
Pioneer’s full-year 2018 update includes:
-
operating 20 horizontal rigs in the Permian Basin; planning to add
four rigs to support the 2019 plan, two in August and two during the
fourth quarter of 2018; expecting to place 250 to 275 wells on
production during 2018; drilling wells in the Permian Basin that
deliver strong cash operating margins and high rates of return;
-
expecting to add approximately 60 Version 3.0+ completions4
during the second half of 2018; Version 3.0+ completions to date
continue to show strong results and improved economics;
-
planning to place 19 wells in the Spraberry horizontal appraisal
program on production in second half of 2018; program will help
determine the optimal long-term development strategy for the Middle
Spraberry Shale, Jo Mill and Lower Spraberry Shale;
-
expecting noncore asset divestiture process to be completed by year
end, resulting in Pioneer becoming a Permian Basin “pure play”; closed
sales of Raton Basin and selected Eagle Ford acreage for $182 million;
signed purchase and sale agreement to sell West Panhandle field for
$201 million, with the sale expected to close during the third quarter
of 2018; progressing divestiture of Eagle Ford and other South Texas
assets;
-
adjusting 2018 capital program to $3.3 billion to $3.4 billion
(excluding acquisitions, asset retirement obligations, capitalized
interest, geological and geophysical G&A and IT system upgrades);
capital spending to be funded from forecasted operating cash flow of
approximately $3.3 billion at current strip prices for the remainder
of 2018 ($69 per barrel for oil and $2.80 per MCF for gas) and
proceeds from asset divestitures; the 2018 capital budget adjustment
reflects adding four rigs in support of the 2019 plan, adding
approximately 60 Version 3.0+ completions4 in the second
half of 2018 and the effects of operating in a higher oil price
environment; and
-
forecasting Permian Basin production growth in 2018 of 19% to 24%
compared to 2017; production is currently trending toward the upper
half of this range.
President and CEO Timothy L. Dove stated, “The Company delivered another
great quarter, with healthy earnings, solid execution, strong production
growth and excellent horizontal well performance in the Permian Basin.
Our world-class Permian Basin asset is considered by many to be the top
oil shale play in North America. We are drilling the most productive
wells in the Basin, resulting in strong cash operating margins and high
rates of return.”
“The Company’s marketing strategy continues to provide incremental cash
flow and margin improvements that flow directly to our bottom line. Our
firm transportation agreements on greater than 90% of our Permian Basin
oil volumes continue to be a key differentiator. These contracts for oil
transportation to the Gulf Coast not only expose us to Brent-related
pricing, but also insulate us from domestic oil price and differential
volatility. In addition, the execution of a contract option will allow
us to receive WTI Cushing pricing through 2020 on the remaining Permian
Basin oil volumes in excess of our Gulf Coast firm transportation
commitments. As a result, beginning next month, the Company will have no
exposure to Midland oil pricing.”
“Our transition to a Permian Basin ‘pure play’ is expected to be
complete by year end. We have closed the sales of both the Raton Basin
assets and selected Eagle Ford Shale acreage, plus we have signed a
purchase and sale agreement to sell the West Panhandle field. Once the
divestitures of the non-Permian assets are complete, the Company will
report stronger cash operating margins and corporate returns due to an
increase in revenue per barrel oil equivalent (BOE) and a decrease in
operating costs per BOE.”
Permian Basin Operations Update and Outlook
Pioneer is the largest acreage holder in the Midland Basin, with
approximately 550,000 gross acres in the northern portion of the play
and approximately 200,000 gross acres in the southern Wolfcamp joint
venture area. Pioneer’s contiguous acreage position and substantial
resource potential allow for decades of drilling horizontal wells with
lateral lengths ranging from 7,500 feet to 14,000 feet.
The Company implemented a completion optimization program during 2015 in
the Permian Basin that combines longer laterals with optimized stage
lengths, clusters per stage, fluid volumes and proppant concentrations.
The objective of the program was to improve well productivity by
allowing more rock to be contacted closer to the horizontal wellbore. In
2013 and 2014, the Company’s initial fracture stimulation design
(Version 1.0) consisted of proppant concentrations of approximately
1,000 pounds per foot, fluid concentrations of 30 barrels per foot,
cluster spacing of 60 feet and stage spacing of 240 feet. Beginning in
mid-2015, the Company enhanced its fracture stimulation design (Version
2.0), which consisted of larger proppant concentrations of approximately
1,400 pounds per foot, larger fluid concentrations of 36 barrels per
foot, tighter cluster spacing of 30 feet and shorter stage spacing of
150 feet. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, Pioneer commenced
testing further-enhanced completion designs (Version 3.0), which
included larger proppant concentrations of approximately 2,000 pounds
per foot, larger fluid concentrations up to 50 barrels per foot, tighter
cluster spacing down to 15 feet and shorter stage spacing down to 100
feet.
Pioneer placed 38 Version 3.0 wells on production during the second
quarter of 2018. The Company also placed 29 wells on production during
the second quarter of 2018 that utilized higher intensity completions
compared to Version 3.0 wells. These are referred to as Version 3.0+
completions. Results from the 65 Version 3.0+ wells completed in 2017
and the first half of 2018 are outperforming production from nearby
offset wells with less intense completions. Based on the success of the
higher intensity completions to date, the Company is adding
approximately 60 Version 3.0+ completions4 in the second half
of 2018.
The Company delivered approximately 165 MBOPD under firm pipeline
commitments to the Gulf Coast during the second quarter, of which 103
MBOPD was exported. The Company expects export volumes in the third
quarter of 2018 to be higher compared to the second quarter as Pioneer’s
export capacity increases to 165 MBOPD. Pioneer’s oil volumes under firm
transportation contracts increase through early 2021 commensurate with
the Company’s forecasted Permian Basin oil production growth. Firm
pipeline contracts insulate Pioneer from the widening of the
Midland/Cushing oil price differential by moving over 90% of the
Company’s forecasted oil production to the Gulf Coast, where the Company
receives Brent-related pricing, with the balance of the Company’s oil
production volumes being priced at WTI Cushing beginning in September
2018.
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company reported a $69 million cash
flow uplift from sales to Gulf Coast refinery and export markets at
Brent-related pricing. The reported cash flow uplift from these sales
reflects the Brent/WTI differential at the time the sales contract was
signed, which is typically two months prior to the actual delivery. As a
result, the significantly wider Midland/Cushing and Brent/WTI
differentials experienced in May through July of 2018 are expected to
result in a substantial cash flow uplift in the third quarter compared
to second quarter of 2018.
The Company also remains well positioned to move its Permian Basin gas
production. Approximately 70% of Pioneer’s second quarter Permian Basin
gas production was transported under firm pipeline contracts tied to the
southern California gas price index. The remainder is primarily sold at
Waha pricing under term contracts. Additional firm pipeline
transportation has been secured on Kinder Morgan’s Gulf Coast Express
pipeline, which is anticipated to be placed into service early in the
fourth quarter of 2019. Firm transportation on the Gulf Coast Express
pipeline will provide access to LNG exports terminals, refineries,
petrochemical facilities and Mexican markets. The Company’s 2018
revenues from gas sales are expected to be approximately 5% of
forecasted 2018 Permian oil, natural gas liquids (NGL) and gas revenues.
Second Quarter 2018 Financial Review
Sales volumes for the second quarter of 2018 averaged 328 MBOEPD. Oil
sales averaged 185 thousand barrels per day (MBPD), NGL sales averaged
64 MBPD and gas sales averaged 466 million cubic feet per day (MMCFPD)3.
Similar to other companies, the Company adopted the new revenue
recognition standard Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASC 606),
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” effective January 1, 2018.
Under this new rule, gas processing fees and associated downstream
fractionation and transportation fees that were previously reflected as
a reduction in the Company’s reported NGL and gas revenues are now
required to be recognized as an expense in the Company’s production
costs. As a result of the new rule, reported NGL and gas revenues in
2018 and associated price realizations will be higher than historical
price realizations, with an equivalent offsetting increase to production
costs. Adoption of ASC 606 results in no change to the Company’s cash
operating margins.
The average realized price for oil was $61.20 per barrel. The average
realized price for NGLs was $28.83 per barrel, and the average realized
price for gas was $1.97 per MCF. Adjusting for the benefit of Gulf Coast
refinery and export sales under the Company’s firm transportation
contracts, the average realized oil price would have increased by $4.10
per barrel to $65.30. These prices exclude the effects of derivatives.
Production costs averaged $10.50 per BOE. Depreciation, depletion and
amortization (DD&A) expense averaged $12.69 per BOE. Exploration and
abandonment costs were $28 million, including $4 million for drilling,
acreage and other abandonments, $7 million for seismic purchases and $17
million for personnel costs. General and administrative expense totaled
$95 million. Interest expense was $32 million. Other expense was $76
million, including $44 million of charges associated with excess firm
gathering and transportation commitments and $9 million of charges
related to the Company’s asset divestitures. Accretion of discount on
asset retirement obligations was $4 million. The Company’s effective
income tax rate was 23%.
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Outlook
The Company’s third quarter 2018 outlook for certain operating and
financial items is provided below.
Based on the ongoing asset divestiture process, the Company is only
providing Permian Basin specific estimates for production, production
costs and DD&A expense for the third quarter.
Permian Basin production is forecasted to average between 278 MBOEPD to
288 MBOEPD. Production costs are expected to average $9.50 per BOE to
$11.50 per BOE. DD&A expense is expected to average $12.50 per BOE to
$14.50 per BOE.
Exploration and abandonment expense is forecasted to be $20 million to
$30 million. General and administrative expense is expected to be $95
million to $100 million. Interest expense is expected to be $30 million
to $35 million. Other expense is forecasted to be $60 million to $70
million and is expected to include $45 million to $50 million of charges
associated with excess firm gathering and transportation commitments.
Accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations is expected to be
$4 million to $7 million.
The Company’s effective income tax rate is expected to range from 21% to
25%. Current income taxes are expected to be less than $5 million.
The Company’s financial and derivative MTM results and open derivatives
positions are outlined on the attached schedules.

1) Permian Basin second quarter 2018 production of 280 MBOEPD
includes approximately 35 MMCFPD, or 5.8 MBOEPD, attributable to the
first quarter of 2018 and approximately 36 MMCFPD, or 6.0 MBOEPD,
attributable to the second quarter related to the adoption of the
revenue recognition standard (Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,
(ASC 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”) that became effective
January 1, 2018. Additionally, second quarter Permian Basin
production was impacted by approximately 1.8 MBOEPD and 1.6 MBOEPD from
severe weather and high field line pressures, respectively. Without
these items, second quarter Permian Basin production would have been
approximately 272 MBOEPD.
2) Permian Basin second quarter 2018 oil production of 175
MBOPD was impacted by approximately 1.3 MBOPD and 0.7 MBOPD from severe
weather and high field line pressures, respectively. Without
these items, second quarter Permian Basin oil production would have been
approximately 177 MBOPD.
3) Total Company second quarter 2018 production of 328 MBOEPD
includes approximately 35 MMCFPD, or 5.8 MBOEPD, attributable to the
first quarter of 2018 and approximately 36 MMCFPD, or 6.0 MBOEPD,
attributable to the second quarter related to the adoption of the
revenue recognition standard (Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,
(ASC 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”) that became effective
January 1, 2018. Additionally, second quarter Permian Basin
production was impacted by approximately 1.8 and 1.6 MBOEPD from severe
weather and high field line pressures, respectively. Without
these items, second quarter total Company production would have been
approximately 320 MBOEPD.
4) Version 3.0+ completions planned during the second half of
2018 are expected to utilize 2,500 pounds per foot of proppant or
greater.
Pioneer may repurchase shares from time to time at management’s
discretion in accordance with applicable securities laws, including
through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or
any combination thereof. In addition, shares may also be
purchased pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule
10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which
would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise
be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The amount
and timing of repurchases are subject to a number of factors, including
stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, and the
program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time by
Pioneer’s Board of Directors. The Company intends to fund
repurchases under the program from existing cash flow, proceeds from
asset divestitures or cash and cash equivalents.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors --The SEC prohibits oil and gas
companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of
oil or gas resources other than “reserves,” as that term is defined by
the SEC. In this news release, Pioneer includes estimates of
quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as “resource
potential,” “net recoverable resource potential,” “recoverable
resource,” “estimated ultimate recovery,” “EUR,” “oil in place” or other
descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of
oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of proved, probable
and possible reserves, and which the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit
Pioneer from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates
are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves
and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater risk of being
recovered by Pioneer. U.S. investors are urged to consider
closely the disclosures in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC.
Such filings are available from the Company at 5205 N. O'Connor
Blvd., Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations,
and the Company’s website at www.pxd.com.

_______________

(a)
|
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, "Revenue from
Contracts with Customers." Changes in oil and gas revenue, gas
production volumes and oil and gas production costs are due to the
conclusion under the control model in the new revenue rule that
the third-party processor or transporter is only providing gas
processing or transportation services, and that the Company
remains the principal owner of the commodity until sold to the
ultimate purchaser. Results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2018 are presented in accordance with the new rule, while
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 continue
to be reported in accordance with historical accounting rules.
|
|
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
|
UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTARY EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION
|
|
The Company uses the two-class method of calculating basic and diluted
earnings per share. Under the two-class method of calculating earnings
per share, generally acceptable accounting principles ("GAAP") provide
that share-based awards with guaranteed dividend or distribution
participation rights qualify as "participating securities" during their
vesting periods. During the periods in which the Company realizes net
income attributable to common shareholders, the Company's basic net
income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed as
(i) net income attributable to common stockholders, (ii) less
participating share-based basic earnings (iii) divided by weighted
average basic shares outstanding and the Company's diluted net income
per share attributable to common stockholders is computed as (i) basic
net income attributable to common stockholders, (ii) plus the
reallocation of participating earnings, if any, (iii) divided by
weighted average diluted shares outstanding. During periods in which the
Company realizes a net loss attributable to common stockholders,
securities or other contracts to issue common stock would be dilutive to
loss per share; therefore, conversion into common stock is assumed not
to occur.
The following table is a reconciliation of the Company's net income
attributable to common stockholders to basic and diluted net income
attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2018 and 2017:

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
|
(in millions)
|
|
EBITDAX and discretionary cash flow ("DCF") (as defined below) are
presented herein, and reconciled to the GAAP measures of net income and
net cash provided by operating activities, because of their wide
acceptance by the investment community as financial indicators of a
company's ability to internally fund exploration and development
activities and to service or incur debt. The Company also views the
non-GAAP measures of EBITDAX and DCF as useful tools for comparisons of
the Company's financial indicators with those of peer companies that
follow the full cost method of accounting. EBITDAX and DCF should not be
considered as alternatives to net income or net cash provided by
operating activities, as defined by GAAP.

Adjusted income excluding noncash mark-to-market ("MTM") derivative
losses, and adjusted income excluding noncash MTM derivative losses and
unusual items, as presented in this press release, are presented and
reconciled to Pioneer's net income attributable to common stockholders
(determined in accordance with GAAP) because Pioneer believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures reflects an additional way of viewing
aspects of Pioneer's business that, when viewed together with its
financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more
complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its historical
financial performance and future operating results, greater transparency
of underlying trends and greater comparability of results across
periods. In addition, management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures may enhance investors' ability to assess Pioneer's historical
and future financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are
not intended to be a substitute for the comparable GAAP measure and
should be read only in conjunction with Pioneer's consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Noncash MTM derivative
gains or losses and unusual items will recur in future periods; however,
the amount and frequency can vary significantly from period to period.
The table below reconciles Pioneer's net income attributable to common
stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as determined in
accordance with GAAP, to adjusted income excluding noncash MTM
derivative losses and adjusted income excluding MTM derivative losses
and unusual items for the quarter.

_______________
|
(a)
|
The ethane basis swap contracts reduce the price volatility of
ethane forecasted for sale by the Company at Mont Belvieu,
Texas-posted prices. The ethane basis swap contracts fix the basis
differential on a NYMEX Henry Hub ("HH") MMBtu equivalent basis. The
Company will receive the NYMEX HH price plus the price differential
on 6,920 MMBtu per day, which is equivalent to 2,500 Bbls per day of
ethane.
|
(b)
|
The referenced basis swap contracts fix the basis differentials
between the index price at which the Company sells its Permian Basin
gas and the NYMEX HH index price used in swap contracts and collar
contracts with short puts.
|
(c)
|
The referenced basis swap contracts fix the basis differentials
between Permian Basin index prices and southern California index
prices for Permian Basin gas forecasted for sale in Arizona and
southern California.
|
Marketing derivatives. Periodically, the Company enters into buy
and sell marketing arrangements to fulfill firm pipeline transportation
commitments. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was party to oil basis
swap contracts for 3,000 Bbls per day of July and August 2018
transportation commitments with a price differential of $3.30 per Bbl
between NYMEX WTI and Magellan East Houston oil prices for Permian Basin
oil forecasted for sale in the Gulf Coast Region.
