2 PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS On April 24, 2002, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer" or the "Company") announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. FIRST QUARTER 2002 RESULTS Pioneer reported a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of 2002. The first quarter net loss included a noncash $5.4 million, or $0.05 per share, charge for the remeasurement of the Argentine peso denominated net monetary assets. Earnings as adjusted for the above items were $3.4 million or $0.03 per share. For the same period last year, Pioneer reported net income of $67.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, which included a gain on the sale of assets of $7.3 million, or $0.07 per share, and an $8.8 million, or $0.09 per share, mark-to-market charge related to derivatives not treated as hedges. Cash flow from operations for the 2002 first quarter was $50.0 million compared to $131.7 million for the first quarter of 2001. On March 31, 2002, Pioneer had 104.3 million common shares outstanding. Pioneer issued 11.5 million new shares of common stock on April 22, 2002 under a public offering at $21.50 per share, resulting in approximately $236 million of net proceeds to the Company. On an oil equivalent basis, sales averaged 110,703 barrels per day (BPD). First quarter oil sales averaged 34,541 BPD, natural gas liquid sales averaged 21,539 BPD and gas sales averaged 328 million cubic feet per day (MMcfpd). Realized prices (including the effects of commodity price hedges) for oil and natural gas liquids for the first quarter were $23.17 and $10.73 per barrel, respectively. The realized price for gas was $2.47 per Mcf. First quarter production costs averaged $5.12 per barrel oil equivalent (BOE), decreasing 8% from the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower field fuel and production taxes that are directly related to commodity price changes. Exploration and abandonment costs of $21 million for the quarter included $10 million of geologic and geophysical costs including seismic costs, $1 million of noncash leasehold abandonments including expired leases, and $10 million of exploration costs including $8.6 million related to the expensing of the Turnberry well drilled during the first quarter of 2001. For the same quarter last year, Pioneer reported oil sales of 35,140 BPD, natural gas liquid sales of 20,426 BPD and gas sales of 333 MMcfpd. Realized prices for the 2001 first quarter were $25.03 per barrel for oil, $22.71 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $4.58 per Mcf for gas. OPERATIONS UPDATE Development activities continue in the U.S., Canada and South Africa. Pioneer's "Big 4" development projects are progressing toward first production over the next 13 months as previously announced. Pioneer and its partner, Mariner Energy, Inc., have selected El Paso Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:EPN) to construct, install, own and operate the production platform and other facilities associated with the Falcon field discovery in the western deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Pioneer is the operator of the Falcon field with a 75 percent working interest, and the new platform is scheduled to be completed for first production during the first quarter of 2003. Pioneer is evaluating and preparing several prospects on the 24 blocks it holds surrounding the Falcon field for potential drilling later this year. In the central deepwater Gulf of Mexico, an appraisal well is currently being drilled on the Ozona Deep discovery drilled in 2001, and Pioneer plans to drill the Triton prospect near the infrastructure planned for the Devils Tower development during the summer of 2002. Pioneer also plans to drill two appraisal wells on the Company's Olowi Block in Gabon beginning in early May. Onshore Texas, Pioneer is running three rigs and plans to increase its drilling activity in its Spraberry oil and gas field and West Panhandle gas field. Pioneer completed 21 wells in Canada during the 2002 winter drilling season, and daily production from the new wells is anticipated to be approximately 12 Mmcfpd. 3 PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (in thousands) (Unaudited)
