Fiscal 2014 Fourth-Quarter and Full-year Results

For the 2014 fiscal fourth quarter, adjusted earnings before non-recurring charges and interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $194.3 million (a non-GAAP measure reconciled below) on revenues of $324.1 million. Volumes averaged 46,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), 69 percent of which was oil. Due to non-recurring items associated with acquisition and divestiture activities, the company reported a net loss in the 2014 fiscal fourth quarter of $1.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, adjusted EBITDA was $754.2 million, compared to $768.9 million in fiscal 2013. Fiscal 2014 net income available for common shareholders was $47.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.2 billion. Net income available for common shareholders for fiscal 2013 was $150.6 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.2 billion. Fiscal 2014 production averaged 45,000 BOE/d, up four percent from production of 43,100 BOE/d the prior year, while the oil portion rose six percent, representing 67 percent of volumes compared with 66 percent in fiscal 2013.

Fiscal 2014 Year-end Reserves

The company's June 30, 2014 fiscal year-end proved reserves are estimated at 246 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE), 75 percent liquids, up 38 percent from the June 30, 2013 year-end reserves, primarily due to the June 2014 acquisition of EPL Oil & Gas. Approximately 61 percent of proved reserves are proved developed. The tables set forth below provide additional information regarding the company's reserves and associated values.

"Our reserves base has continued to grow, particularly the liquids portion, which has resulted in even higher increases in the reserves' value," Energy XXI Chairman and CEO John Schiller said. "In addition to growth from the EPL acquisition, we grew oil reserves organically, replacing 124 percent of our liquids production. We believe we can continue adding reserves organically as our teams apply technology to identify untapped reservoirs and increase recoveries of the oil in place."

Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., independent oil and gas reserves consultants, audited the year-end reserves estimates. All of the company's reserves are in the United States Gulf of Mexico or Gulf Coast.

Capital Expenditures

The company's capital budget for fiscal year 2015, which began July 1, 2014, is estimated between $850 million and $950 million, with $875 million as the expected case and the higher end of the range primarily reliant on a successful test of the Lomond North well in the Highlander area. Development drilling, completions and recompletions account for approximately $475 million of planned spending, up approximately 26 percent from $378 million in fiscal 2014. This includes $38 million for non-operated projects in fiscal 2015, compared to $48 million in the prior year. The company currently is operating eight drilling rigs, and expects to complete 30 development wells in fiscal 2015, a 76 percent increase over fiscal 2014. The targeted $875 million budget would allow the company to operate an average of six rigs in fiscal 2015, with a majority of the capital being allocated to the first half of the year. Exploration drilling is budgeted at $33 million, down from approximately $112 million in the prior year. This includes $24 million for non-operated projects in fiscal 2015, compared to $42 million in the prior year. The bulk of the remaining capital budget for fiscal 2015 is allocated to facilities, general and administrative, land and abandonment costs. Fiscal 2014 capital spending totaled $814.9 million, including abandonment costs.

Production and Operations Update

At the mid-point of guidance, fiscal 2015 production is expected to increase 37 percent over the prior year, with oil volumes 48 percent ahead of the prior year. July 2014 production approximated 59,000 BOE/d with 42,000 barrels per day of oil.

The company currently operates eight rigs in the shallow waters on the Gulf of Mexico shelf. Drilling is ongoing at West Delta 29/30 and 73, Main Pass, Ship Shoal 208/209, and South Timbalier.

In the non-operated joint venture with Freeport McMoRan Oil & Gas in the Inboard Lower Tertiary/Cretaceous trend, completion activity is ongoing at Lomond North in the Highlander area, located primarily in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana. The operator expects a flow test to be conducted in the second half of calendar year 2014.

Energy XXI was awarded 29 shallow-water blocks in the Central Gulf of Mexico lease sale #231 by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Two additional blocks jointly bid with Fieldwood and Apache also were awarded.

GLOSSARY

Reserves:

Proved Oil and Gas Reserves -- Those quantities of crude oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible -- from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations -- prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. This definition has been abbreviated from the definition of "Proved oil and gas reserves" contained in Rule 4-10(a)(22) of SEC Regulation S-X.

Proved Developed Reserves -- Reserves are categorized as proved developed if they are expected to be recovered from existing wells.

Probable Reserves -- Those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but more certain to be recovered than possible reserves. This definition has been abbreviated from the applicable definition contained in Rule 4-10(a)(18) of SEC Regulation S-X.

Possible Reserves -- Those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. This definition has been abbreviated from the applicable definition contained in Rule 4-10(a)(17) of Regulation S-X.

Other terms:

Barrel – unit of measure for oil and petroleum products, equivalent to 42 U.S. gallons.

BOE – barrels of oil equivalent, used to equate natural gas volumes to liquid barrels at a general conversion rate of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per barrel.

BOE/d – barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Bbl/d – barrels per day of oil or condensate.

MMBTU – million British thermal units.

Mcf/d – thousand cubic feet of gas per day.

MD – total measured depth of a well.

Net Pay – cumulative hydrocarbon-bearing formations.

NRI, Net Revenue Interest – the percentage of production revenue allocated to the working interest after first deducting proceeds allocated to royalty and overriding interest.

TD – target total depth of a well.

TVD – true vertical depth of a well.

WI, Working Interest – the interest held in lands by virtue of a lease, operating agreement, fee title or otherwise, under which the owner of the interest is vested with the right to explore for, develop, produce and own oil, gas or other minerals and bears the proportional cost of such operations.

Workover / Recompletion – operations on a producing well to restore or increase production. A workover or recompletion may be performed to stimulate the well, remove sand or wax from the wellbore, to mechanically repair the well, or for other reasons.
