Denbury Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results


PLANO, Texas, Aug. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) (“Denbury” or the “Company”) today announced a net loss of $381 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016.  The Company also reported adjusted net income(1) (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter of $29 million, or $0.08(1)(2) per diluted share.  Adjusted net income(1) for the second quarter of 2016 differs from the quarter’s GAAP net loss primarily due to the exclusion of (1) a $479 million ($299 million after tax) full cost pool ceiling test write-down, (2) a $150 million ($93 million after tax) loss due to noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives(1) (a non-GAAP measure) and (3) a $28 million ($17 million after tax) payment related to a previously announced legal settlement, with the GAAP and non-GAAP measures reconciled in tables beginning on page 8.

Sequential and year-over-year comparisons of selected quarterly financial items are shown in the following table:

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Phil Rykhoek, Denbury’s President and CEO, commented, “During the second quarter of 2016, we continued to make significant strides in our core objectives for 2016, which include lowering costs, preserving cash and liquidity, and reducing leverage.  We have continued to steadily improve our business, working towards maximizing our efficiency and shaping the path for the future of the Company.  Our overall cash costs per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) were reduced by another $0.60 this quarter to approximately $32 per BOE, as reductions in general and administrative costs more than offset a slight increase in unit operating expenses.  Lease operating expenses totaled $100 million during the second quarter of 2016, a 24% decrease from the prior-year quarter, and general and administrative expenses totaled $23 million, a decrease of 41% from the prior-year quarter, further evidencing the success of our cost reduction efforts.

“Our 2016 production remains on track to meet the mid-point of our 2016 guidance when adjusted for extraordinary weather-related downtime and our pending asset sale.  During the second quarter, we experienced two separate 100-year flood events at Thompson Field, resulting in minimal production there this quarter which, coupled with weather-related production downtime at Conroe Field, negatively impacted our second quarter production by approximately 1,450 BOE/d.  Also, in the third quarter, we expect to close on the sale of our non-core Williston assets, which produced approximately 1,300 BOE/d in the first half of the year.  After adjusting for these two items, the mid-point of our full-year guidance is now approximately 1,000 BOE/d lower than our previous guidance.

“During the first half of 2016, we entered into debt exchange and purchase transactions, resulting in a net reduction of our debt principal balance of approximately $540 million, and have recently reduced debt by another $5 million through open-market debt purchases.  We remain focused on preserving our liquidity in this low oil price environment and continue to look for opportunities to reduce debt and enhance our balance sheet.”

DEBT REDUCTION

As previously disclosed, during May 2016, the Company entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements to exchange $1,058 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior subordinated notes for $615 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (“Senior Secured Notes”) plus 40.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in a $12 million pre-tax gain on debt extinguishment.  For financial reporting purposes, $255 million of future interest on the Senior Secured Notes has been recorded as debt, and will be reduced as semi-annual interest payments are made, with the remaining $23 million of future interest to be recognized as interest expense over the term of the Senior Secured Notes.  Therefore, future interest expense on the Senior Secured Notes reflected in the Company’s financial statements will be significantly lower than the actual cash interest payments to be made, and management currently anticipates that for the remainder of 2016 approximately $13 million of interest per quarter on the Senior Secured Notes will not be reflected as interest expense.

In July 2016, the Company spent $14 million (excluding accrued interest) to repurchase an additional $3 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes due 2021 and $16 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes due 2022.  These transactions resulted in a net reduction of approximately $5 million in the Company’s debt principal balance.

PRODUCTION

Denbury’s total production for the second quarter of 2016 averaged 64,506 BOE per day (“BOE/d”), including 39,212 barrels per day (“Bbls/d”) from tertiary properties and 25,294 BOE/d from non-tertiary properties.  Production in the second quarter of 2016 decreased 7% sequentially and 12% compared to the second quarter of 2015.  The higher than anticipated decline was primarily due to weather-related shut-in production.

In April 2016, a series of strong thunderstorms in the Houston area damaged a primary tank battery in Conroe Field and flooded Thompson Field.  While most of the Conroe production was brought back online in June, additional record rainfall in May 2016 flooded Thompson Field a second time, forcing most of that field to remain shut in through the end of the quarter.  The Company is currently working to restore full production, most of which is expected to be back online during the third quarter.  Together, these storms and flooding impacted quarterly production by approximately 1,450 BOE/d.

During the second quarter, the Company’s quarterly production was further impacted by production shut-in due to economics, resulting in a decrease to quarterly production of approximately 2,750 BOE/d, representing an incremental decrease of approximately 300 BOE/d compared to the first quarter of 2016 and approximately 2,100 BOE/d compared to the second quarter of 2015.  As of June 30, 2016, approximately 2,600 BOE/d remained shut in due to economics.  Second quarter of 2016 production was 96% oil, similar to the prior-year period.

Tertiary oil production during the second quarter of 2016 decreased 3%, or 1,252 Bbls/d, on a sequential-quarter basis and 8%, or 3,372 Bbls/d, from the second quarter of 2015.  The decreases during both periods were largely driven by Tinsley Field facility seasonal processing constraints and Oyster Bayou Field maintenance and workovers, partially offset by increased production at Delhi and Bell Creek fields.

Non-tertiary oil-equivalent production was down 12%, or 3,593 BOE/d, on a sequential-quarter basis and 19%, or 5,838 BOE/d, from second quarter of 2015.  These decreases were greater than anticipated primarily due to the previously discussed weather-related shut-in production at Conroe and Thompson fields.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

Oil and natural gas revenues, excluding the impact of derivative contracts, decreased 33% when comparing the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, due to a 21% decline in realized commodity prices and a 12% decrease in production.  Denbury’s average realized oil price per Bbl, excluding derivative settlements, was $43.38 in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $30.71 in the first quarter of 2016 and $56.92 in the prior-year second quarter.  Including derivative settlements, Denbury’s average realized oil price per Bbl was $52.61 in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $42.71 in the first quarter of 2016 and $76.30 in the prior-year second quarter.  The oil price realized relative to NYMEX oil prices (the Company’s NYMEX oil price differential) in the second quarter of 2016 was $2.18 per Bbl below NYMEX prices, compared to a differential of $3.02 per Bbl below NYMEX in the first quarter of 2016 and $0.89 per Bbl below NYMEX in the second quarter of 2015, largely due to volatility in oil sold at the Light Louisiana Sweet index.

The Company’s lease operating expenses over the past two years have decreased across all expense categories, and total lease operating expenses decreased 24% from the second quarter of 2015, significantly impacted by the reduction in CO2 injection volumes over the past year.  During the second quarter of 2016, the Company’s CO2 use further declined to 459 million cubic feet per day, a decrease of 40% when compared to the second quarter of 2015.  On a per-BOE basis, lease operating expenses in the second quarter of 2016 averaged $17.04 per BOE, an increase of 5% from the $16.23 per-BOE average in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to a higher workover activity level and lower production volumes, and decreased 14% from the $19.70 per-BOE average in the second quarter of 2015 due to cost decreases in most lease operating expense categories, partially offset by the reduction in production volumes.

Taxes other than income, which includes ad valorem, production, and franchise taxes, were relatively unchanged on a sequential-quarter basis and decreased $14 million from the prior-year second quarter level due primarily to lower ad valorem taxes in the 2016 period due to lower assessed tax values and a decrease in severance taxes due to lower oil and natural gas revenues.

General and administrative expenses were $23 million in the second quarter of 2016, decreasing $15 million, or 41%, from the prior-year second quarter level.  This reduction was largely due to an approximate 28% reduction in headcount since March 31, 2015, which has resulted in lower employee compensation and related costs.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased to $36 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $40 million in the second quarter of 2015.  As a result of the Company’s notes exchange discussed above, interest expense in the second quarter of 2016 excludes approximately $7 million of interest on the Company’s new Senior Secured Notes because it is recorded as debt for financial reporting purposes and is therefore not reflected as interest expense.  Cash interest expense decreased approximately $3 million between the respective quarters.

As a result of the continued decrease in average commodity pricing compared to 2015 levels, the Company recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $479 million during the second quarter of 2016, compared to $256 million during the first quarter of 2016 and $1.7 billion during the second quarter of 2015.  In determining these write-downs, the Company is required to use the average rolling first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil and natural gas prices for the preceding 12 months, adjusted for market differentials by field.  The preceding 12-month NYMEX prices averaged $43.12 per Bbl for crude oil for the period ended June 30, 2016, down from $46.26 per Bbl for the period ended March 31, 2016 and $71.68 per Bbl for the period ended June 30, 2015.

Denbury’s overall depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) rate was $11.34 per BOE in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $22.05 per BOE in the prior-year second quarter and $12.26 per BOE in the first quarter of 2016, with the decreases primarily driven by a reduction in depletable costs resulting from the full cost pool ceiling test write-downs recognized during 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, as well as lower production and reductions in future development costs.

Receipts on settlements of oil and natural gas derivative contracts were $52 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to receipts of $72 million in the first quarter of 2016 and receipts of $124 million in the prior-year second quarter.  These settlements resulted in increases in average net realized prices of $8.86 per BOE in the second quarter of 2016, $11.44 per BOE in the first quarter of 2016, and $18.51 per BOE in the second quarter of 2015.

Denbury’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 36.9%, up from 35.6% in the prior-year second quarter.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was lower than the Company’s statutory rate of 38% primarily due to the Company’s full cost pool ceiling test write-down recorded during the quarter.

2016 CAPITAL BUDGET AND ESTIMATED PRODUCTION

The Company’s 2016 capital budget, excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, remains unchanged from the previously estimated amount of approximately $200 million; however, the Company could potentially adjust this budget higher or lower based on changes in estimated levels of cash flow.  The capital budget consists of approximately $145 million of tertiary, non-tertiary, and CO2 supply and pipeline projects, plus approximately $55 million of estimated capitalized costs (including capitalized internal acquisition, exploration and development costs and pre-production tertiary startup costs).  Of this combined capital expenditure amount, approximately $101 million (50%) has been incurred through the second quarter of 2016.

The Company expects to close the sale of its interests in non-core Williston assets in the third quarter for $58 million (before final closing adjustments) with an effective date of April 1, 2016.  Production from the Williston assets averaged approximately 1,300 BOE/d during the first half of 2016.  As a result of this pending sale and the impacts of extraordinary weather-related downtime in the Gulf Coast region, Denbury now expects full-year 2016 production to range between 64,000 BOE/d and 66,000 BOE/d, as compared to the Company’s previous guidance of between 64,000 BOE/d and 68,000 BOE/d, with production for the remainder of the year anticipated to be relatively flat after adjusting for the Williston asset sale.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net loss (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (loss) (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income (loss) measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations.  Management believes that adjusted net income (loss) may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or nonrecurring items not indicative of our performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends.  Adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  Adjusted cash flows from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables.  Management believes that it is important to consider this additional measure, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measure can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in production, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of commodity derivatives income (expense) (GAAP measure) to noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives (non-GAAP measure)

Noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a non-GAAP measure and is different from “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in that the noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives represents only the net change between periods of the fair market values of open commodity derivative positions, and excludes the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period.  Management believes that noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a useful supplemental disclosure to “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” because the GAAP measure also includes settlements on commodity derivatives during the period; the non-GAAP measure is widely used within the industry and by securities analysts, banks and credit rating agencies in calculating EBITDA and in adjusting net income to present those measures on a comparative basis across companies, as well as to assess compliance with certain debt covenants.
