Evolution Petroleum Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2014 Operating Results

 

Houston, TX, May 7, 2014 - Evolution Petroleum Corporation (NYSE MKT: EPM) today reported operating highlights for the current quarter of fiscal 2014 ended March 31, 2014 with comparisons to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2013 (the “previous quarter”) and the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2013 (the “year-ago quarter”).

 

Current quarter operating highlights include:

 

·                  Return to profitability following last quarter’s restructuring charge with earnings of $0.8 million

·                  Delhi operator announced that remediation of the June 2013 fluids release in Delhi was complete

·                  Delhi daily production was essentially flat to the prior quarter, reflecting continued impact of the June 2013 fluids release

·                  The Delhi operator announced plans to install recycle gas processing to recover methane and natural gas liquids while improving the efficiency of the CO2 flood

·                  Our first five installations of GARP® announced in February 2014 are under way in the field

 

Results for the current quarter were also impacted by $0.6 million of one-time costs associated with retirement of our former CFO.

 

Robert Herlin, President and CEO, said: “As I stated last quarter, 2014 is a transition year for the company with the impending working interest reversion at Delhi and our restructuring to focus operations on commercialization of our GARP® technology for improving recovery of oil and gas. The current quarter continued this transition, and important highlights included completion of the first major commercial agreement to install GARP® and Denbury’s announcement of their intent to install recycle gas processing at Delhi earlier than we expected, which should accelerate production. While we benefited during the quarter from the reduction in recurring overhead due to the restructuring last quarter, our results were still impacted by the one-time charge and continuing impact of the June 2013 fluids release at Delhi.

 

“Looking forward, we expect to see improvement in Delhi production due to incremental CO2 injection, response to previous development expenditures and future development work. We remain focused on our strategic objective to grow long-term value per share, driven by a portion of the long-lived cash flow from Delhi and complemented by the growth potential of our GARP® business demonstrated by the currently ongoing five installations. With $25 million of cash, no debt and our working interest reversion at Delhi imminent, we are well positioned to continue our growth while providing a material yield to our shareholders.”

 



 

Financial Results

 

Net income to common shareholders was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, an improvement over the previous quarter’s net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and a decrease from the net income of $2.2 million in the year-ago quarter, or $0.07 per diluted share. The increase over the prior quarter was due primarily to $2.1 million of pre-tax restructuring and other one-time charges in the prior quarter and higher oil prices realized in the current quarter, offset by the $0.6 million one-time charge in the current quarter due to retirement of the CFO. The decrease from the year ago quarter was due primarily to lower sales volumes due to the Delhi environmental event and sale of noncore producing assets, lower oil price and the one-time charge of $0.6 million, partially offset by lower operating expense and income tax. Revenues in the current quarter were $4.3 million, sequentially flat and a 28% decrease from the year-ago quarter.

 

Compared to the previous quarter, daily oil volumes were down 4% to 468 net barrels of oil (“BO”) per day on a 5% higher oil price of $101.65 per barrel.  Total daily volumes for the quarter decreased 5% to 487 net BO equivalent (“BOE”) per day compared to 510 net BOE per day in the previous quarter on a 6% higher average price per BOE of $99.03. Compared to the year-ago quarter, oil sales volumes decreased 22% on a 8% lower average oil price, and total BOE volumes declined 22% on a 7% lower average price per BOE. Our Delhi oil sales realized a 4% price premium compared to our oil sales in Texas compared to a 2% premium in the previous quarter and 13% premium in the year ago quarter.

 

NGL and natural gas volumes declined 14% from the prior quarter and 36% from the year ago quarter to 19 net BOE per day. NGL and natural gas contributed 1% of current revenues, similar to the previous and year-ago quarters. The Delhi remediation and the fiscal 2013 sales of all of our non-GARP® producing assets in the Giddings Field and the fiscal 2014 sale of the Lopez Field were the primary factors in the decrease in total volumes from the year-ago quarter.

 

Lease operating expense, including production taxes, increased 50% over the prior quarter to $0.4 million primarily due to workovers on two GARP® equipped wells and the operating tests of the Sneath and Hendrickson wells in Oklahoma. Lease operating expense decreased 34% from the year ago quarter due to the sale of noncore producing properties, offset in part by the addition of GARP® installations and the current quarter’s workovers and Oklahoma well tests. Lease operating expense per BOE increased 60% to $8.08 compared to the previous quarter, but decreased 16% from the year ago quarter.

 

General and administrative expense declined $0.3 million from the prior quarter to $2.3 million due to the prior quarter’s one time charges and reduction in recurring overhead, partly offset by the current quarter’s $0.6 million of one-time charges. General and administrative expense increased $0.5 million over the year ago quarter largely due to the one-time charges and litigation expenses, offset in part by the reduction in recurring overhead. Noncash stock compensation expense comprised $0.4 million in the current, $0.3 million in the previous and $0.4 million in the year ago quarter.

 

The board of directors elected to initiate a $0.10 quarterly dividend to common shareholders in December 2013 to begin cash distributions over the long-term out of free cash flow in excess of capital expenditures needed to grow our core assets. The board approved a similar dividend to common shareholders that was paid in March.

 

Employees paid us $1.0 million during the current quarter to exercise qualified incentive stock options. As of March 31, 2014, approximately 0.2 million options remained outstanding.

 

Due to the mass exercise of stock options and warrants by employees during the previous quarter, we generated $31.2 million in deductions from current and future income taxes. Consequently, the common stock dividends and preferred stock dividends paid during fiscal 2014 are being treated for tax purposes as return of capital to shareholders.

 



 

Delhi Field

 

Delhi volumes averaged 457 net BO per day (6,173 gross), essentially flat to the previous quarter’s 464 net BO per day and a 19% decrease from the prior year. Production continued to be impacted by the previously disclosed remediation of the June 2013 fluids release and reduced CO2 injections. Material incremental CO2 injection is believed to have started late in the quarter, and we expect production to improve going forward as a result of the increased injections, capital expenditures in the prior year and future capital expenditures to complete the full project.

 

As previously reported, the reduction in oil production and substantial remediation costs, partially offset by lower CO2 purchases, potential insurance recoveries and any application of the operator’s indemnification of EPM to the payout balance (which is being disputed by the operator), delayed reversion of our 24% working interest into calendar 2014. Due to these uncertainties and the dispute, we cannot accurately forecast when in 2014 the reversion will occur. We filed a lawsuit against the operator seeking declaration of the validity of the environmental indemnity, as well as remedies for other breaches of our operative agreements, and the operator has filed counterclaims.

 

The operator disclosed that it intends to begin work on a recycle gas processing facility with operations expected in 2015. This schedule is earlier than projected in our June 30, 2013 reserves report and includes a broader and earlier recovery of products than projected in the report, offset by any ultimate impact of the June 2013 fluids release.

 

GARP®

 

We entered into an agreement with a large operator to install our GARP® artificial lift technology on up to ten wells in the Giddings Field. We are currently assisting the operator in the installation of GARP® in the first five wells, which should be completed in June. The agreement can be amended to include additional wells in the future, and we have identified numerous additional candidates in their portfolio. The agreement calls for Evolution to fund a portion of the costs and provide use of our technology in return for a fee based on 25% of the total net profits from each well.

 

Evolution received the 2014 E&P Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation for GARP®. The presentation was made recently at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, and the award recognized the technology’s innovation, suitability as a practical solution and potential for improving efficiency and profitability.

 

Mississippian Lime Project

 

We completed a production test of a portion of the lateral in our Sneath well that is higher in structure after plugging off the remainder of the lateral that is lower in structure. We appear to be unable to shut off water production from that lower portion of the lateral and thus did not adequately test the concept. The two Mississippian Lime wells that we drilled are now shut-in and we are exploring our options, including sale. No further capital expenditures are projected in this project.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $24 million and total liquidity of $29 million, which included $25 million of cash and equivalents and $5 million of availability on a revolving unsecured credit line. At March 31, 2014, the Company had no borrowings under its revolver. Consequently, we believe that current liquidity combined with expected operating cash flows are sufficient to fund our anticipated capital budgets and future dividend payments for the foreseeable future.
