Cimarex Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

DENVER, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

    --  Generated Cash from Operating Activities of $145 million in the quarter
    --  Invested $84 million in the second quarter
    --  $26 million in free cash flow after dividend
    --  Oil production averaged 78,000 barrels per day

Cimarex Energy Co. (NYSE: XEC) today reported a second quarter 2020 net loss of $925.1 million, or $9.28 per share, compared to net income of $109.3 million, or $1.07 per share, in the same period a year ago. Second quarter results were negatively impacted by non-cash charges related to the impairment of oil and gas properties. Second quarter adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $(52.4) million, or $(0.51) per share, compared to second quarter 2019 adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $83.0 million, or $0.82 per share(1). Net cash provided by operating activities was $144.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $414.0 million in the same period a year ago. Adjusted cash flow from operations (non-GAAP) was $144.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $336.4 million in the second quarter a year ago(1).

Oil production averaged 78.0 thousand barrels (MBbls) per day. Total company production volumes for the quarter averaged 254.7 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBOE) per day. Second quarter production volumes were impacted by the operational slow down announced in March and a 20 percent temporary curtailment of May production related to the extreme fluctuation in oil prices caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions of OPEC and other countries during the quarter.

Realized oil prices averaged $19.57 per barrel, down 64 percent from the $54.24 per barrel received in the second quarter of 2019. Realized natural gas prices averaged $0.91 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), up 82 percent from the second quarter 2019 average of $0.50 per Mcf. NGL prices averaged $7.52 per barrel, down 43 percent from the $13.08 barrel received in the second quarter of 2019.

Cimarex's realized oil price was impacted by a negative differential to WTI of $8.28 per barrel in the quarter from $1.99 per barrel in the previous quarter, with a negative oil price differential in the Permian of $8.12 per barrel in the second quarter, $2.00 per barrel sequentially. Our realized local natural gas price differentials improved in both regions. The company realized a negative differential to Henry Hub on its Permian natural gas production of $1.09 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $3.10 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2019 and $1.85 in the first quarter of 2020. In the Mid-Continent region, the company's average negative differential to Henry Hub was $0.31 per Mcf versus $0.86 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2019 and $0.57 in the first quarter of 2020.

Cimarex invested a total of $84 million during the second quarter, of which $49 million was attributable to drilling and completion activities. Second quarter investments were funded with cash flow from operating activities. Total debt at June 30, 2020 consisted of $2.0 billion of long-term notes, with no debt maturities until 2024. Cimarex had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility and a cash balance of $44 million at quarter end.

Outlook

Cimarex Chairman and CEO, Tom Jorden, said, "The second quarter required drastic and prudent action. Our response to the challenging price environment included a significant decrease in activity and curtailing May production volumes. With improved oil prices we have elected to resume activity. We are bringing three additional drilling rigs back to work in the third quarter and will begin completing wells again in September with two completion crews on the schedule. As a result, we expect capital investment for the year to total approximately $600 million, in line with expectations of an operational restart from our previous guidance range."

Cimarex is also giving production and expense guidance for the remainder of 2020. Third quarter 2020 production volumes are expected to average 230 - 250 MBOE per day, with oil volumes estimated to average 69.0 - 74.0 MBbls per day. Total 2020 daily production volumes are expected to average 240 - 250 MBOE per day, with annual oil volumes estimated to average 75.0 - 78.0 MBbls per day.

Expenses per BOE of production for 2020 are estimated to be:


     
     Production expense                                   
        $2.90 - $3.30

     Taxes other than income (% of oil and gas revenue)          6.0% - 8.0%

Mr. Jorden continued, "This activity puts us in a strong position as we enter 2021. We see Cimarex in a position to generate more than enough free cash flow to fund our dividend in 2021 at $35 WTI, a testament to increasing efficiencies. Any excess free cash flow would be used to fund dividend increases and grow cash on the balance sheet to retire debt."

"The health and safety of our employees remains top of mind. Cimarex has taken a number of steps to protect employees in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic including the implementation of a staggered office schedule and the adoption of COVID-19 protocols for field staff and employees working in the office."

     ______________________________________



     (1)              An additional ceiling test
                         impairment is anticipated in the
                         third quarter.



     (2)              Because the goodwill impairment is
                         not deductible for tax purposes,
                         the tax impact in the 2020 period
                         is calculated using an effective
                         tax rate determined by excluding
                         goodwill from the effective tax
                         rate calculation.




      Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share exclude the
       noted items because management believes these items affect the comparability of
       operating results. The company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures as a useful
       adjunct to GAAP measures because:




                        a)                                              Management uses adjusted net (loss) income to evaluate the company's operating
                                                                         performance between periods and to compare the company's performance to other
                                                                         oil and gas exploration and production companies.


                        b)                                              Adjusted net (loss) income is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by
                                                                         research analysts.




      * Does not include adjustments resulting from application of the "two-class method"
       used to determine earnings per share under GAAP.




      ** Reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period
       as adjusted for the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options.

Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted cash flow from operations, free cash flow and free cash flow after dividend as means of measuring our ability to fund our capital program and dividends, without fluctuations caused by changes in current assets and liabilities, which are included in the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors for the same reason, and that they are also used by professional research analysts in providing investment recommendations pertaining to companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry.
