Yuma Energy, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results


HOUSTON, Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Yuma Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: YUMA) (the "Company" or "Yuma") today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Highlights

Recent Developments

Management Comments

Sam L. Banks, CEO of Yuma Energy, Inc., commented, "We have continued to increase our acreage position in the Permian Basin at very attractive prices and are currently preparing to drill our first horizontal well and salt water disposal well in the San Andres horizontal oil play. We intend to finish drilling operations for both wells in 2017 and to establish commercial production during the first quarter of 2018.  We continue to believe that increasing our exposure to the Permian Basin, and more specifically the San Andres horizontal oil play, will lead to significant shareholder value over time.  As can be seen in the results of our first three quarters, the merger with Davis has improved our cash flows and financial position and significantly increased our production."

Statements that are not strictly historical statements constitute forward-looking statements and may often, but not always, be identified by the use of such words such as "expects," "believes," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "potential," "possible," or "probable" or statements that certain actions, events or results "may," "will," "should," or "could" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with expectations is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the risks of the oil and gas industry (for example, operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas); risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and natural gas deposits; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; revisions to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; health, safety and environmental risks and risks related to weather; further declines in oil and natural gas prices; inability of management to execute its plans to meet its goals, shortages of drilling equipment, oil field personnel and services, unavailability of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities and the possibility that government policies may change.  The Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, recent current reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss some of the important risk factors identified that may affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
