Denbury Reports First Quarter 2018 Results; Announces Successful Additional Mission Canyon Wells

PLANO, Texas, May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) (“Denbury” or the “Company”) today announced net income of $39.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018.  Adjusted net income(1) (a non-GAAP measure) was $54 million, or $0.12(1)(2) per diluted share, with the difference from GAAP net income primarily due to the exclusion of $15 million ($12 million after tax) of expense from noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives(1) (a non-GAAP measure), with the GAAP and non-GAAP measures reconciled in tables beginning on page 7.

2018 FIRST QUARTER AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and CEO, commented, “The momentum we built in the fourth quarter continued and gained strength in the first quarter.  The strongest realized oil prices we have seen since the fourth quarter of 2014, combined with our peer-leading oil mix, reduced cost structure, and improved operations drove another quarter of positive free cash flow, meaningful debt reduction, solid financial results, and a stronger balance sheet.

“Our operations teams did a great job rebounding quickly and safely from the severe January winter weather on the Gulf Coast, and both production and LOE are on track with our full-year expectations.  In the Cedar Creek Anticline in Montana, we drilled two additional successful Mission Canyon wells during the quarter, each of which exceeded our expectations.  Mission Canyon continues to highlight Denbury’s low-risk organic, short-cycle, high value opportunity set, and this is just the first of multiple opportunities we are preparing to test and develop.

“I am excited about the progress we are making on multiple fronts in 2018.  We are on track to improve our balance sheet with each passing quarter, and our strong lineup of high return investments will continue to pave the way for a successful future for this unique company.”

REVIEW OF OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Denbury’s production averaged 60,338 BOE/d during first quarter 2018, up 1% from first quarter 2017 and down 1% from fourth quarter 2017, due principally to extreme cold weather in the Gulf Coast region during January 2018.  Excluding the weather impact, Denbury’s production would have increased slightly from fourth quarter 2017 levels.  Denbury’s production guidance for full-year 2018 remains 60,000 to 64,000 BOE/d, as the January weather impacts were taken into consideration in developing this range.  Further production information is provided on page 12 of this press release.

The Company’s average realized oil price during first quarter 2018 was $1.29 per Bbl above NYMEX oil prices, compared to $1.70 per Bbl above NYMEX in the prior quarter, and $1.64 per Bbl below NYMEX in first quarter 2017, with the year-over-year improvement driven both by improvement in LLS index prices relative to NYMEX and continued improvement in Rocky Mountain region differentials, resulting in the strongest Rocky Mountain differential the Company has ever realized.

The Company’s total lease operating expenses in first quarter 2018 were $118 million, an increase of $13 million, or 13%, on an absolute-dollar basis compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $5 million, or 4%, compared to first quarter 2017.  The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to a $7 million reduction recorded in fourth quarter 2017 for pricing adjustments related to prior period costs of certain industrial-sourced CO2, as well as higher power costs and workover activity in the current quarter.

Taxes other than income, which include ad valorem, production and franchise taxes, increased $3 million and $5 million from fourth quarter 2017 and the prior-year first quarter, respectively, generally due to the impact of higher oil prices on production taxes.

General and administrative expenses were $20 million in first quarter 2018, a slight decrease compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of $8 million compared to first quarter 2017, with the year-over-year decrease attributable to lower employee-related costs associated with the August 2017 workforce reduction and other cost savings initiatives.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, totaled $17 million in first quarter 2018, a decrease of $6 million from fourth quarter 2017 and a decrease of $10 million from the prior-year first quarter.  Interest expense excludes approximately $22 million and $13 million in the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, of interest recorded as a reduction of debt for financial reporting purposes instead of as interest expense, due to the accounting associated with debt exchange transactions completed in 2016, 2017, and 2018.  A schedule detailing the components of interest expense is included on page 14 of this press release.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) increased slightly to $52 million in first quarter 2018, compared to $51 million in first quarter 2017.  The slight increase was primarily driven by an increase in depletable costs associated with our reserves base, partially offset by an increase in proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities.

Denbury’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 was approximately 26%, slightly higher than the Company’s estimated statutory rate of 25%, due primarily to nondeductible stock-based compensation.  The Company’s statutory rate decreased from the previous reported rate of 38% due to reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% as enacted by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December 2017.

BANK CREDIT FACILITY

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the spring 2018 semiannual borrowing base redetermination in April 2018, the Company’s borrowing base under its senior secured bank credit facility (the “Facility”) was reaffirmed at the previously existing amount of $1.05 billion.  A total of $450 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Facility as of March 31, 2018, a decrease of $25 million from the level outstanding as of December 31, 2017, leaving the Company with $538 million of borrowing base liquidity after consideration of $62 million of outstanding letters of credit.

2018 CAPITAL BUDGET AND ESTIMATED PRODUCTION

The Company’s 2018 capital budget, excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, remains unchanged from the previously estimated range of approximately $300 million to $325 million.  The capital budget consists of approximately $270 million for tertiary and non-tertiary field costs and CO2 supply, plus approximately $45 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 $48 million (15%) has been incurred through the first quarter of 2018.  Denbury’s estimated 2018 production is also unchanged from the previously disclosed range of 60,000 to 64,000 BOE/d.

CONFERENCE CALL AND ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

Denbury management will host a conference call to review and discuss first quarter 2018 financial and operating results, as well as financial and operating guidance for 2018, today, Tuesday, May 8, at 10:00 A.M.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (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 special or unusual items not indicative of the Company’s 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.

(3)    The estimated income tax impacts on adjustments to net income are generally computed based upon a statutory rate of 25% and 38% for 2018 and 2017, respectively, with the exception of the tax impact of a shortfall (benefit) on the stock-based compensation deduction which totaled $1 million and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and ($0.3) million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and a $2 million tax benefit for enhanced oil recovery income tax credits during the three months ended December 31, 2017.  In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a one-time deferred tax benefit of $132 million reflecting the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% as enacted by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, as well as valuation allowances totaling $6 million.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operation less interest treated as debt reduction (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.  Adjusted cash flow from operations less interest treated as debt reduction is an additional non-GAAP measure that removes interest associated with the Company’s senior secured second lien notes and convertible notes not reflected as interest expense for financial reporting purposes.  Management believes that it is important to consider these additional measures, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measures 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 (loss) to present those measures on a comparative basis across companies, as well as to assess compliance with certain debt covenants.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure which is calculated based upon (but not identical to) a financial covenant related to “Consolidated EBITDAX” in the Company’s senior secured bank credit facility, which excludes certain items that are included in net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.  Items excluded include interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring.  Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX may be helpful to investors in order to assess our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis.  It is also commonly used by third parties to assess our leverage, and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.  Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP.  Our Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX, EBITDAX or EBITDA in the same manner.  The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income to Adjusted EBITDAX.
