Cimarex Reports First Quarter 2017 Results
DENVER, May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Total Production up 11% sequentially
Oil Production up 15% sequentially
Upper Wolfcamp well in Eddy County further delineates play
Cimarex Energy Co. (NYSE: XEC) today reported first quarter 2017 net income of $131.0 million, or $1.38 per share. Adjusted first quarter net income (non-GAAP) was $99.7 million, or $1.05 per share, compared to first quarter 2016 adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of $25.9 million, or $0.28 per share(1). Net cash provided by operating activities was $249.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $85.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted cash flow from operations (non-GAAP) was $265.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $81.6 million in the first quarter a year ago(1).
Total company production came in above the high end of our guidance and averaged 1,063 million cubic feet equivalent (MMcfe) per day during the first quarter. This was a nine percent increase over first quarter 2016 and a 11 percent increase sequentially. Oil production averaged 52,181 barrels per day, a 15 percent increase sequentially.
Commodity prices improved significantly from a year ago and had a positive impact on Cimarex's financial results for the quarter. Realized oil prices averaged $47.71 per barrel versus $28.02 per barrel in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 70 percent. Realized natural gas prices averaged $3.01 per Mcf, up 57 percent from the first quarter 2016 average of $1.92 per Mcf. NGL prices averaged $20.40 per barrel, up 107 percent from the $9.84 per barrel received in the same period one year ago. (See table of Average Realized Price by Region below.)
Cimarex invested $306 million in exploration and development during the first quarter, of which $197 million is attributable to drilling and completion activities. First quarter investments were funded with cash flow from operations and cash on hand. Total debt at March 31, 2017, consisted of $1.5 billion of long-term notes. Cimarex had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility and a cash balance of $579 million. Debt was 40 percent of total capitalization(2).
2017 Outlook
Cimarex is increasing its full-year production estimate for 2017 to 1.09 – 1.13 Bcfe per day, a midpoint increase of 15 percent over 2016 volumes. Second quarter output is expected to average 1.08 – 1.13 Bcfe per day, with oil production expected to outpace total company volume growth and rise 6 - 10 percent sequentially. Exploration and development capital for 2017 remains unchanged at $1.1 – 1.2 billion.
Expenses per Mcfe of production for the remainder of 2017 are estimated to be:
Production expense | $0.60 - 0.70 |
Transportation, processing and other expense | 0.50 - 0.60 |
DD&A and ARO accretion* | 1.05 - 1.15 |
General and administrative expense | 0.20 - 0.25 |
Taxes other than income (% of oil and gas revenue) | 5.0 - 6.0% |
*Adjusted for the impact of the previously announced corrections to the ceiling test impairment. |
Operations Update
Cimarex invested $306 million in exploration and development during the first quarter, 69 percent in the Permian Basin and 30 percent in the Mid-Continent. We completed 70 gross (26 net) wells during the quarter. At March 31, 2017, 82 gross (26 net) wells were awaiting completion, of which 14 gross (11 net) were in the Permian and 68 gross (15 net) were in the Mid-Continent. Cimarex is currently operating 14 drilling rigs.

Permian Region
Production from the Permian Basin averaged 577 MMcfe per day in the first quarter, a 21 percent increase from first quarter 2016 and 13 percent sequentially. Oil volumes represent 43 percent of the region's total production in the quarter. Oil volumes in the region were up 13 percent from the fourth quarter of 2016. Natural gas production increased 12 percent and NGL production was up 13 percent sequentially.
Cimarex brought 25 gross (16 net) wells on production in the Permian region during the first quarter. Of note, Cimarex completed an Upper Wolfcamp well in its White City area in Eddy County, New Mexico. The Pintail 23-26 Fed Com 10H had average peak 30-day initial production of 1,557 BOE (9.3 MMcfe) per day of which 1,000 barrels per day (64 percent) was oil. This well further delineates the Upper Wolfcamp to the north of Culberson County and represents our first test of the Upper Wolfcamp play in Eddy County.
In Reeves County, Texas, the Wood State project, a six-well infill project testing 12 wells per section in the Upper Wolfcamp, was recently brought on production. Five of the six wells are producing at an average peak 30-day initial production of 1,973 BOE (11.8 MMcfe) per day of which 902 barrels per day (46 percent) is oil. The sixth well is currently shut-in and waiting on remediation.
There were 14 gross (11 net) wells waiting on completion on March 31. Cimarex is currently operating eight rigs in the Permian region.
Mid-Continent
Production from the Mid-Continent averaged 484 MMcfe per day for the first quarter, down two percent versus first quarter 2016. Sequentially, crude oil volumes were up 20 percent, natural gas production grew three percent and NGL volumes increased 16 percent.
During the first quarter Cimarex completed and brought on production 45 gross (10 net) wells in the Mid-Continent. At the end of the quarter, 68 gross (15 net) wells were waiting on completion. We currently operate six rigs in the region.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes 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 earnings because: | |||||||
a) Management uses adjusted net income (loss) 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 (loss) is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by research analysts. | |||||||
* | Earnings (loss) per share are based on actual figures rather than the rounded figures presented. | ||||||
RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS | ||||||

Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors for the same reason, and that it is also used by professional research analysts in providing investment recommendations pertaining to companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. | ||||||
