Third quarter results were negatively impacted by non-cash charges related to the impairment of oil and gas properties. Third quarter adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $52.4 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to third quarter 2019 adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $96.0 million, or $0.94 per share(1). Net cash provided by operating activities was $259.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $320.1 million in the same period a year ago. Adjusted cash flow from operations (non-GAAP) was $236.7 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $360.7 million in the third quarter a year ago(1).

Oil production averaged 71.6 thousand barrels (MBbls) per day. Total company production volumes for the quarter averaged 249.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBOE) per day.

Realized oil prices averaged $37.94 per barrel, up 94 percent from $19.57 in the previous quarter but down 28 percent from the $52.71 per barrel received in the third quarter of 2019. Realized natural gas prices averaged $1.14 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), up 25 percent sequentially from $0.91 per Mcf and up 30 percent from the third quarter 2019 average of $0.88 per Mcf. NGL prices averaged $10.89 per barrel, up 45 percent from $7.52 per barrel in the second quarter of 2020 and up one percent from the $10.80 barrel received in the third quarter of 2019.

Cimarex's realized oil price was a negative differential to WTI of $2.99 per barrel in the quarter down from $8.28 per barrel in the previous quarter, with a negative oil price differential in the Permian of $2.71 per barrel in the third quarter, down sequentially from $8.12 per barrel. The company realized a negative differential to Henry Hub on its Permian natural gas production of $1.15 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.83 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2019 and $1.09 in the second quarter of 2020. In the Mid-Continent region, the company's average negative differential to Henry Hub was $0.31 per Mcf versus $0.66 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2019 and $0.31 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2020.

Cimarex invested a total of $83 million during the quarter, of which $52 million was attributable to drilling and completion activities and $3 million to saltwater disposal assets. Third quarter investments were funded with cash flow from operating activities. Total debt at September 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 $273 million at quarter end.

The company has reduced staff by 20 percent year to date through a combination of an Early Retirement Program (ERIP), further staff reductions completed in the third quarter, and attrition. Cimarex has incurred $31 million in severance expenses year to date, of which $15 million was expensed in the third quarter. Cost savings are expected to total $40-50 million annually, beginning in 2021.

Outlook

Improved oil prices in the third quarter allowed Cimarex to resume activity. We are currently running four drilling rigs in the Permian basin and have had two completion crews working since September 1. Cimarex continues to expect capital investment for the year to total approximately $600 million, as stated in guidance given in August.

Fourth quarter 2020 production volumes are expected to average 215 - 235 MBOE per day, with oil volumes estimated to average 62.5 - 68.5 MBbls per day. Total 2020 daily production volumes are expected to average 250 - 255 MBOE per day, with annual oil volumes estimated to average 75.5 - 77.5 MBbls per day.

              An additional ceiling test impairment is anticipated in the fourth 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 income and adjusted diluted earnings 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 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 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.
