OKLAHOMA CITY, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SD) today announced financial and operational results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

SandRidge produced 7.9 MMBoe in the first quarter of 2015, 50% crude oil/natural gas liquids. First quarter production averaged 87.7 MBoepd. This represents a 1% decrease in average daily production versus the full fourth quarter of 2014.

Cost improvement initiatives including vendor cost reductions, durable process efficiencies, and increased use of multilateral well designs, resulted in an estimated $2.7 million per lateral cost in the first quarter of 2015. The Company is on track to achieve the $2.4 million per lateral target in the second half of 2015. These well costs preserve attractive economics exceeding those experienced with higher oil prices and costs during 2014.

"We continue to reduce activity as we wind down from a rig count of 35 at the close of 2014 to an average of seven rigs in the back half of 2015. While we had capital expenditures of $322 million in the first quarter, we are reducing spending sharply in the second half of this year in line with our guidance of $700 million. This fiscal discipline coupled with operational efficiency gains provide options to improve our balance sheet as we actively evaluate alternatives to bring our cash generation and debt levels in line," said James Bennett, SandRidge's Chief Executive Officer and President. 

"Our operational teams continue to execute by maintaining our cost leadership in the Mid-Continent, bringing wells online with initial production rates that exceed our type curve and by further improving our innovative multilateral programs," Bennett continued. "We are also excited to welcome strong, new operational leaders to our team who will continue to push the envelope on cost reductions, operational efficiencies and innovation."

Key Financial Results

  • Adjusted EBITDA, net of Noncontrolling Interest, was $182 million for first quarter 2015 compared to $169 million in first quarter 2014, pro forma for divestitures
  • Adjusted operating cash flow of $146 million for first quarter 2015 compared to $127 million in first quarter 2014
  • Adjusted net income of $2.3 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for first quarter 2015 compared to adjusted net income of $29.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in first quarter 2014

Adjusted net 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 first quarter with $725 million in liquidity and a senior secured leverage ratio of 0.22 times (senior secured debt/LTM pro forma EBITDA)
  • 100% hedged on remaining projected 2015 oil volumes, $60 WTI for remainder of 2015 realizes $82.79 per barrel
  • Mark-to-market hedge position of $251 million as of March 31, 2015
  • Incurred a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.1 billion due to a ceiling test write-down, resulting from significant decreases in oil prices beginning in the latter half of 2014 and continuing into 2015

Operational Highlights

Steve Turk, SandRidge's Chief Operating Officer noted, "I'm excited about the pace of our material cost reduction realizations. In the quarter, the operational teams have already realized $350,000 of our $600,000 per lateral cost reduction target through a combination of service contract negotiations, durable operational efficiencies and increased multilateral drilling. We're now drilling laterals for an estimated $2.7 million and see no obstacles in attaining a $2.4 million per lateral cost in the second half of the year. A specific example of continuous improvement with durable benefits is the six day reduction in spud to rig release cycle times, now down to just fourteen days. We are also expanding our successful multilateral development learnings to two-mile long laterals and are seeing early encouraging results. Our Chester program added six new wells during the quarter with an average 30-day IP of 452 Boepd and a 48% oil cut, with significant running room. We are on target to meet our production guidance for the year while improving efficiency and expanding our play."  

  • Now running seven rigs to drill producing wells vs 35 rigs at year end 2014 (which included four rigs drilling saltwater disposal wells)
  • First quarter Mid-Continent lateral 30-day IP rates of 402 Boepd, 52% oil, 115% of type curve
  • Multilateral program now delivering an average of 106% of the 90-day cumulative type curve Boe production

Drilling and Operational Activities

Mid-Continent: During the first quarter of 2015, SandRidge drilled 116 laterals. The Company averaged 24 horizontal rigs operating in the play. The Company's Mid-Continent assets produced 76.2 MBoepd during the first quarter (33% Oil, 18% NGLs, 49% Natural Gas).

Permian Basin: During the first quarter, SandRidge's Permian properties produced approximately 4.7 MBoepd (87% Oil, 8% NGLs, 5% Natural Gas).

Other Operating Areas: During the first quarter, SandRidge's legacy west Texas properties produced approximately 5.4 MBoepd (1% Oil, 99% Natural Gas). Additionally, its legacy Mid-Continent assets produced 1.5 MBoepd in the quarter (13% Oil, 16% NGLs, 71% Natural Gas).

Royalty Trust: As of March 31, 2015, the Company had fulfilled its drilling obligation to the SandRidge Mississippian Trust II (SDR) by drilling and completing 206 equivalent Trust Development Wells. Completing the obligation to SDR marks the conclusion of all drilling obligations on the part of SandRidge to the three Company sponsored royalty trusts.

(1)

EBITDA from Oil Field 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 Oil Field Services and Other is Net Income from Oil Field 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 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, 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, (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, gain on sale of assets, severance, oil field services – Permian exit costs 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 asset impairment, (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, gain on sale of assets, severance, oil field services – Permian exit costs 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 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 (gain) loss 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 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 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 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 net income and EBITDA, drilling plans, oil and natural gas production, derivative transactions, pricing differentials, operating costs, general and administrative costs, capital spending, tax rates, and descriptions of our 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.
