Dan Westcott, Legacy's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The team continues to execute on our goals to efficiently develop our significant Permian horizontal resource, high-grade our assets by divesting non-core properties, and enhance our near-term drilling prospects by trading our small tracts. We're proud of our recent well results in Martin County and look forward to executing in new areas across Midland and Howard Counties later this year. I am proud of the Legacy team and their ability to post strong results despite our challenged financial situation."
Robert Norris, Legacy's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Through 2018, Legacy completed a corporate reorganization, improved our total leverage metrics, participated in value-accretive acreage trades, and sold non-core assets in an effort to improve our leverage profile and access to capital markets. We continue that effort with our announced $135 million 2019 capital budget, which is a meaningful reduction in activity, designed to drill within cash flow. We look forward to working with our stakeholders and advisors to address our capital structure and determine the best path forward for Legacy."

Annual Financial and Operating Results - 2018 Compared to 2017
-- Production increased 6% to an annual record of 47,564 Boe/d in 2018 from 44,967 Boe/d in 2017 primarily due to additional oil production from our Permian Basin horizontal drilling operations and higher realized ethane recoveries associated with our Piceance assets for portions of 2018. This was partially offset by natural production declines and individually immaterial divestitures completed in 2018 and 2017. -- Average realized price, excluding net cash settlements from commodity derivatives, increased 20% to $31.96 per Boe in 2018 from $26.58 per Boe in 2017. Average realized oil price increased 19% to $56.64 in 2018 from $47.59 in 2017. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the average West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil price of $14.43 per Bbl and partially offset by widening realized regional differentials. Average realized natural gas price decreased 5% to $2.59 per Mcf in 2018 from $2.74 per Mcf in 2017. This decrease was primarily driven by widening realized regional differentials partially offset by an increase in the average NYMEX pricing. Finally, our average realized NGL price increased 3% to $0.67 per gallon in 2018 from $0.65 per gallon in 2017. -- Production expenses, excluding ad valorem taxes, increased 10% to $191.3 million in 2018 from $173.6 million in 2017 primarily due to increased workover and repair activity across all operating regions, increased well count due to our Permian horizontal drilling program, partially offset by general cost reduction efforts. On an average cost per Boe basis, production expenses increased to $11.02 per Boe in 2018 from $10.58 per Boe in 2017, driven primarily by increased well count, working interests, and general cost inflations. -- Non-cash impairment expense totaled $68.0 million in 2018 primarily driven by the further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices in early 2018 as well as increased expenses and well performance during 2018. -- General and administrative expenses, excluding transaction-related expenses and unit-based Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") compensation expense increased to $39.0 million in 2018 compared to $34.0 million in 2017 primarily due to reduced overhead income which is recognized as a reduction in general and administrative expenses. The reduction is related to dispositions of oil and natural gas properties and as such, lower recovery results in an increase in our expenses. The remaining increase was due to general cost increases. -- Cash settlements paid on our commodity derivatives during 2018 were $11.7 million as compared to cash receipts of $24.2 million in 2017. The decrease in cash settlements is a result of fluctuating commodity prices and reduced nominal volumes hedged. -- Total development capital expenditures increased to $229.5 million in 2018 from $176.8 million in 2017. The 2018 activity was comprised mainly of the drilling and completion of horizontal Permian wells.
Financial and Operating Results - Fourth Quarter 2018 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2017
-- Production decreased 3% to 47,543 Boe/d from 49,185 Boe/d primarily due to additional natural production declines in our Piceance assets as well as immaterial asset sales. This was partially offset by increased oil production from our Permian Basin horizontal drilling program. -- Average realized price, excluding net cash settlements from commodity derivatives, remained relatively flat at $30.38 per Boe in 2018 compared to $30.30 per Boe in 2017. Average realized oil price decreased 7% to $48.69 per Bbl in 2018 from $52.30 per Bbl in 2017. This decrease of $3.61 was primarily attributable to widening regional differentials as the average WTI crude oil price increased by $4.70. Average realized natural gas prices increased 6% to $2.92 per Mcf in 2018 from $2.76 per Mcf in 2017. This increase of $0.16 was primarily attributable to an increase in the average Henry Hub gas price. Finally, our average realized NGL price decreased 5% to $0.72 per gallon in 2018 from $0.76 per gallon in 2017. -- Production expenses, excluding ad valorem taxes, increased 16% to $49.4 million in 2018 from $42.6 million in 2017. Production expenses increased primarily due to increased workover and repair activity across all operating regions and increased well count due to our Permian horizontal drilling program, partially offset by general cost reduction efforts. On a per Boe basis, production expenses increased to $11.30 from $9.41 or 20% driven primarily by increased well work activities, decreased low cost oil production, increased competition in the market place and general cost inflations. -- Non-cash impairment expense totaled $13.6 million in 2018 primarily driven by the write-off of unproved properties acquired since 2010 as well as declining oil and natural gas futures prices, increased costs and well performance. -- General and administrative expenses, excluding acquisition costs and LTIP compensation expense, increased to $11.7 million in 2018 from $9.9 million in 2017 primarily due to reduced overhead income which is recognized as a reduction in general and administrative expenses. The reduction is related to dispositions of oil and natural gas properties and as such, lower recovery results in an increase in our expenses. The remaining increase was due to general cost increases. -- Cash settlements paid on our commodity derivatives were $7.7 million during 2018 compared to receipts of $6.4 million in 2017. The decrease in cash settlements is a result of fluctuating commodity prices and reduced nominal volumes hedged. -- Total development capital expenditures were $58 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Commodity Derivative Contracts
The following tables summarize, for the periods indicated, our oil and natural gas derivatives in place as of March 13, 2019 covering the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. We use derivatives, including swaps, enhanced swaps and three-way collars, as our mechanism for offsetting the cash flow effects of changes in commodity prices whereby we pay the counterparty floating prices and receive fixed prices from the counterparty, which serves to reduce the effects on cash flow of the floating prices we are paid by purchasers of our oil and natural gas. These transactions are mostly settled based upon the monthly average closing price of front-month NYMEX WTI oil and the price on the last trading day of front-month NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas.
Oil Swaps:
Calendar Year Volumes (Bbls) Average Price per Price Range per Bbl Bbl --- 2019 3,285,000 $61.33 $57.15 $67.65
Natural Gas Swaps:
Average Price Range per Calendar Year Volumes (MMBtu) Price per MMBtu MMBtu --- 2019 37,175,000 $3.36 $3.05 $4.40
We have entered into regional crude oil differential swap contracts in which we have swapped the floating WTI-ARGUS (Midland) crude oil price for floating WTI-ARGUS (Cushing) less a fixed-price differential. As noted above, we receive a discount to the NYMEX WTI crude oil price at the point of sale. Due to refinery downtimes and limited takeaway capacity that has impacted the Permian Basin, the difference between the WTI-ARGUS (Midland) price, which is the price we receive on almost all of our Permian crude oil production, and the WTI-ARGUS (Cushing) price reached historic highs in late 2012 and early 2013 and again in late 2014. We entered into these differential swaps to negate a portion of this volatility. The following table summarizes the oil differential swap contracts currently in place as of March 13, 2019, covering the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019:
Calendar Year Volumes (Bbls) Average Price per Price Range per Bbl Bbl --- 2019 2,193,000 $(3.62) $(5.60) $(1.15)
We have entered into regional crude oil differential enhanced swap contracts in which we have swapped the floating WTI-ARGUS (Midland) crude oil price for floating WTI-ARGUS (Cushing) crude oil price less a fixed-price differential combined with a short call option to enhance the price of the differential swap. The following table summarizes the oil differential contracts currently in place as of March 13, 2019, covering the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019:
Average Long Average Short Calendar Year Volumes (Bbls) Put Price per Bbl Call Price per Bbl --- 2019 1,460,000 $70.00 (2.91)
We have also entered into regional natural gas differential swap contracts in which we have swapped the floating CIG natural gas price for a floating NYMEX Henry Hub price less a fixed differential. The following table summarizes these type of enhanced swap contracts currently in place as of March 13, 2019, covering the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, the financial tables and other supplemental information include "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure which may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts. The following presents a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its nearest comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as management believes it provides additional information concerning the performance of our business and is used by investors and financial analysts to analyze and compare our current operating and financial performance relative to past performance. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because all companies may not calculate such measure in the same manner.
Certain factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA may be viewed as temporary, one-time in nature, or being offset by reserves from past performance or near-term future performance. Financial results are also driven by various factors that do not typically occur evenly throughout the year that are difficult to predict, including rig availability, weather, well performance, the timing of drilling and completions and near-term commodity price changes.
"Adjusted EBITDA" should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other GAAP measure of financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus:
