        quarter of 2018.
    --  Oil differentials improved to $1.67 off of NYMEX West Texas Intermediate
        crude oil index price ("WTI") in the first quarter of 2018,
        approximately a 65% decrease over the first quarter of 2017.

"Oasis delivered a formidable start to the year by growing volumes to 76,800 Boe per day in the first quarter while maintaining top tier capital efficiency and recycle ratio," said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strong start to the year enables the company to stand by its projection of being free cash flow positive on our E&P business for the year, while continuing to grow volumes 15% to 20% year over year. Internally controlled infrastructure through OMS supported flow assurance, reduced costs, and provided access to liquid marketing points. This combination resulted in reduced downtime and per barrel operating costs in spite of abnormally difficult winter conditions. Also, our access to liquid marketing points as a result of strategic investments in our integrated midstream infrastructure continue to help us realize improved price differentials. We closed the Permian Basin Acquisition on February 14, 2018 and we have now taken over operations. Expansion of our service partnerships developed in the Williston Basin has helped us secure critical services at market competitive prices. Continued positive results of our wells and offsets give us confidence in our plan. Our completion cadence is on track, if not a little ahead, and we have secured a second rig for the Permian which should spud by the end of May. We have increased our full year guidance to 81.0 to 84.0 MBoepd and expect production in the second quarter of 2018 to be 76.0 to 80.5 MBoepd, with the Williston being between 72.5 and 76.5 MBoepd and the Delaware being around 3.5 to 4.0 MBoepd."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Interest is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Cash Interest as interest expense plus capitalized interest less amortization and write-offs of deferred financing costs and debt discounts included in interest expense. Cash Interest is not a measure of interest expense as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of interest expense to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash Interest for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash or non-recurring charges. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Interest and CapEx, excluding capitalized interest. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not measures of net income (loss) or cash flows as determined by GAAP.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) including non-controlling interests and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for the periods presented:

    (1)              Cash settlements represent the
                     cumulative gains and losses on the
                     Company's derivative instruments for
                     the periods presented and do not
                     include a recovery of costs that were
                     paid to acquire or modify the
                     derivative instruments that were
                     settled.

    (2)              Capital expenditures (including
                     acquisitions) reflected in the table

                     in the statements of cash flows in
                     our condensed consolidated financial
                     statements because amounts reflected
                     in the table include changes in
                     accrued liabilities from the previous
                     reporting period for capital
                     expenditures, while the amounts
                     presented in the statement of cash
                     flows are presented on a cash basis.
                     Acquisitions totaled $891.0 million

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis as net income (loss) after adjusting first for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, impairment, and other similar non-cash charges, or non-recurring items, (2) the impact of net income attributable to non-controlling interests and (3) the non-cash and non-recurring items' impact on taxes based on the Company's effective tax rate applicable to those adjusting items in the same period. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) attributable to Oasis to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and the GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings (loss) attributable to Oasis per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share for the periods presented:
