SM Energy Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results


DENVER, Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SM Energy Company ("SM Energy" or the "Company") (NYSE: SM) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2018. Highlights include:

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

President and Chief Executive Officer Jay Ottoson comments: "In the first half of 2018, we made significant improvements in capital efficiency and operating margins as a result of outstanding operations execution and great well results. Our cash flows have been higher than anticipated, and we are raising full year production guidance without changing our expected full year activity level.  We remain on track to meet our targeted total capital spend-to-cash flow neutrality by mid-year 2019."

SUMMARY WELL RESULTS

Results from 24 new RockStar wells, having an average 10,180 foot lateral, that have reached their 30-day peak IP rates include:

SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

As previously announced, production and realized prices came in particularly strong. Production was 10.5 MMBoe, or 115 MBoe/d, exceeding the Company's expectations primarily due to strong well performance from new and existing wells. Realized pricing (before the effects of hedges) averaged $38.40 per Boe, benefiting from higher benchmark oil and NGL prices.

Second quarter of 2018 net income was $17.2 million or $0.15 per diluted common share, up from a loss of ($119.9) million or ($1.08) per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2017. Second quarter of 2018 net income includes a $39.5 million net gain on divestiture activity and a net derivative loss of $63.7 million.

Second quarter of 2018 net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) was $171.4 million.

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted common share and adjusted EBITDAX are non-GAAP measures. Please reference the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

Second quarter of 2018 adjusted net income was $16.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, up from an adjusted net loss of ($35.5) million, or ($0.32) per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2017. The calculation of adjusted net income excludes non-recurring items and items difficult to estimate, in order to present results that can be more consistently compared with prior periods and peer results. Specifically, second quarter adjustments remove the net gain on divestitures, non-cash derivative losses and abandonment and impairment charges.

Second quarter of 2018 adjusted EBITDAX was $225.0 million, up 46% from $154.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in adjusted EBITDAX was primarily driven by the 110% increase in the operating margin per Boe (pre-hedge), partially offset by an 8% decline in production due to asset divestitures.

COMMODITY DERIVATIVES              

For the second half of 2018, the Company currently has commodity derivatives in place for approximately 80% of expected oil production and 70% of expected natural gas production (NGLs are hedged by product). Additionally, the Company has Midland-NYMEX WTI basis hedges in place for approximately 70% of expected Midland oil production through the remainder of the year.

GUIDANCE UPDATE

Full year 2018 production guidance is increased to a range of 43.5-45.0 MMBoe from 40.9-44.9 MMBoe and is expected to average approximately 42% oil in the commodity mix, up from approximately 40%. The increase in production is attributable to better than expected well performance in the Midland Basin from new and existing wells and higher average working interests in new wells compared to the original plan.

Full year total capital spend is slightly increased by $40 million to $1.31 billion primarily to account for increased working interests (with corresponding increased net revenue interests) in new Howard County wells. Higher than expected working interests increased first half 2018 capital by approximately $30 million and expected full year net well completions in the Permian Basin from approximately 100 to 103. Additional future working interest increases are anticipated. Eagle Ford completions for the full year are unchanged at approximately 25 net wells.

As previously stated, the Company's 2018 capital expenditure program is weighted to the first half of the year. Due to the accelerated timing of drilling and completion activity, the Company is currently running seven rigs and three completion crews in the Midland Basin (down from nine rigs and five crews, with plans to release an additional rig during the third quarter). In the Eagle Ford, the Company is running two rigs and one completion crew (with plans to drop one Eagle Ford rig during August 2018) for both Company and third-party carried activity.

Total capital spend (before acquisitions) is a non-GAAP measure. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort because acquisition costs are inherently unpredictable.

(1) Adjusted EBITDAX represents net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, amortization and asset retirement obligation liability accretion expense, exploration expense, property abandonment and impairment expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, derivative gains and losses net of settlements, gains and losses on divestitures, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, and certain other items.  Adjusted EBITDAX excludes certain items that we believe affect the comparability of operating results and can exclude items that are generally one-time in nature or whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated.  Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP measure that we present because we believe it provides useful additional information to investors and analysts, as a performance measure, for analysis of our ability to internally generate funds for exploration, development, acquisitions, and to service debt.  We are also subject to financial covenants under our Credit Agreement based on adjusted EBITDAX ratios.  In addition, adjusted EBITDAX is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, and many investors use the published research of industry research analysts in making investment decisions.  Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by operating activities, or other profitability or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP.  Because adjusted EBITDAX excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the adjusted EBITDAX amounts presented may not be comparable to similar metrics of other companies.  Our credit facility provides a material source of liquidity for us.  Under the terms of our Credit Agreement, if we failed to comply with the covenants that establish a maximum permitted ratio of senior secured debt to adjusted EBITDAX and a minimum permitted ratio of adjusted EBITDAX to interest, we would be in default, an event that would prevent us from borrowing under our credit facility and would therefore materially limit our sources of liquidity.  In addition, if we are in default under our credit facility and are unable to obtain a waiver of that default from our lenders, lenders under that facility and under the indentures governing our outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Convertible Notes would be entitled to exercise all of their remedies for default.

(2) Interest income is included within the other non-operating income, net line item on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(3) Stock-based compensation expense is a component of exploration expense and general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Therefore, the exploration line items shown in the reconciliation above will vary from the amount shown on the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the component of stock-based compensation expense recorded to exploration expense.

(4) Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation on the condensed consolidated financial statements due to accounting standards updates.

Note: Amounts may not calculate due to rounding.

(1) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, the adjustment is related to bad debt expense. Additionally, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, an accrual for a non-recurring matter is included.  For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, the adjustment is related to the change in Net Profits Plan liability and impairment of proved properties. Additionally, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, an adjustment related to materials inventory loss is included.  These items are included in other operating expenses on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2) The tax effect of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 21.7% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, and a tax rate of 36.1% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.  Note that the rate used for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 was 21.9%. These rates approximate the Company's statutory tax rate for the respective periods, as adjusted for ordinary permanent differences.

(3) Adjusted net income (loss) excludes certain items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results.  Items excluded generally are non-recurring items or are items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated.  These items include non-cash and other adjustments, such as derivative gains and losses net of settlements, impairments, net (gain) loss on divestiture activity, materials inventory loss, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt.  The non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income (loss) is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information to investors for analysis of SM Energy's fundamental business on a recurring basis.  In addition, management believes that adjusted net income (loss) is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, and many investors use the published research of industry research analysts in making investment decisions.  Adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash provided by operating activities, or other income, profitability, cash flow, or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP.  Since adjusted net income (loss) excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the adjusted net income (loss) amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(4) For periods where the Company reports adjusted net loss, basic weighted-average common shares outstanding are used in the calculation of adjusted net loss per diluted common share.
