J. Douglas Schick, President of the Company, stated, “Our Q3 2024 results continue to demonstrate consistently strong production, cashflow, earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA growth, surpassing each metric when compared to Q3 2023, while continuing to maintain zero debt and flat G&A expenses. We continue to generate highly-prospective non-operated development opportunities in the D-J Basin, which strategy has successfully delivered consistently strong returns that have exceeded our expectations. With the recent entry into a five year Participation Agreement and Area of Mutual Interest with a large private D-J Basin E&P company, coupled with our partnership with Evolution Petroleum to jointly develop our Permian Basin asset, and now with our $250 million reserve based lending facility with Citibank in place, we believe that we are well-positioned to accelerate the development of our core assets in the D-J and Permian Basins, grow long term production, and increase revenues, profit and cash flow for the benefit of our shareholders.”

 

Financial Summary:

 

We reported net income for Q3 2024 of $2.9 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to net income for Q3 2023 of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share.  The increase in net income of $2.0 million, when comparing the current period to the prior year’s period, was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in revenues coupled with a $0.7 million gain on sale of oil and gas properties, offset by a $0.4 million increase in total operating expenses (each discussed in more detail below).

 

We reported operating expenses in Q3 2024 of $7.0 million, which was approximately $0.5 million higher than we reported in Q3 2023.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure (discussed in greater detail below), increased 30% to $5.7 million in Q3 2024, compared to $4.4 million in Q3 2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $7.2 million as of September 30, 2024 (including $2.55 million in restricted cash), compared with $20.7 million as of December 31, 2023 (including $2.2 million in restricted cash), which decrease was due largely to increased capital spending related to our drilling and completion activities.

 

Production, Prices and Revenues:

 

Production for Q3 2024 was 156,096 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”), comprised of 108,810 barrels of oil, 142,669 million cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas, and 23,508 Boe of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). Liquids production comprised 85% of total production in the quarter.

 

Our average realized crude oil sales price in Q3 2024 was $75.82 per barrel, average realized natural gas price was $1.23 per Mcf, and average realized NGL sales price was $26.53 per barrel. Our combined average realized sales price for the quarter was $57.97 per Boe, which was comparable with $57.91 per Boe in Q3 2023.

 

Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for Q3 2024 increased $1.7 million, or 23%, to $9.0 million, compared to $7.3 million for the same period a year ago, due to a favorable volume variance of $1.7 million.  There was a negligible price variance over the periods. The increase in overall production volume is related to our participation in 13 new non-operated wells in the D-J Basin and the drilling and completion of three operated wells in the Permian Basin, all of which occurred in late 2023 and Q1 2024.  We also recognized minimal additional production impact from our participation in another six wells in the D-J Basin which production began in latter part of Q3 2024. 

 

Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”):

 

Total LOE for Q3 2024 was $2.5 million compared to total LOE for Q3 2023 of $2.2 million.  The increase of $0.3 million was primarily due to higher direct and variable lease operating expenses associated with the higher oil volume resulting from the increased number of wells and increased oil production during the current year’s period, compared to the prior year’s period, due to our participation in new wells in the D-J Basin, as well as production from our recently completed wells in the Permian Basin.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion (“DD&A”):

 

DD&A increased from $2.9 million in Q3 2023 to $3.0 million in Q3 2024.  The $0.1 million increase was primarily the result of higher crude oil and NGL volumes resulting from the increased number of wells and increased oil production from our new wells, compared to the prior year’s period.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”):

 

The $0.1 million increase in cash G&A expenses (excluding share-based compensation) in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023 was primarily the result of additional payroll and software licensing fees.

 

Share-based compensation, which is included in general and administrative expenses in our Statements of Operations, decreased nominally due to the forfeiture of certain employee stock-based options due to certain voluntary employee terminations. Share-based compensation is utilized for the purpose of conserving cash resources for use in field development activities and operations.

 

Interest Income and Other Income:

 

We earned $84,000 in interest earned from our interest-bearing cash accounts, for which interest rates have remained relatively flat in the current period, compared to the prior period and interest on our note receivable. There was no other income in the current period compared to a nominal amount in the prior period.

 

Working Capital and Liquidity:

 

At September 30, 2024, our total current assets of $11.0 million exceeded our total current liabilities of $5.2 million, resulting in a working capital surplus of $5.8 million, while at December 31, 2023, our total current assets of $24.6 million exceeded our total current liabilities of $18.9 million, resulting in a working capital surplus of $5.7 million. The $0.1 million increase in our working capital surplus is primarily related to an increase in oil and gas receivables from production sales, offset by cash used to reduce payables related to our current capital drilling program (described above).

Operations Update:

 

The Company continued to realize strong results from thirteen non-operated wells in the D-J Basin in which it previously elected to participate, including in seven non-operated wells with an ~18% working interest (the “Eider Wells”), and six non-operated wells with an ~5% working interest (the “Mottled Wells”).  These wells commenced production in Q1 2024 and reached production peak in Q2 2024, realizing natural declines into Q3 2024, and contributed significantly to the Company’s production and cash flow during the quarter.

 

The Company also elected to participate in six additional non-operated wells in the D-J Basin (the “Harlequin Wells”) with a working interest of approximately 28% in Q3 2024, with minimal production impact in Q3 2024 and significant production impact anticipated as the wells increase in volume into Q4 2024.  The Company also elected to participate in an additional five non-operated wells in the D-J Basin (the “Purcell Wells”) with a working interest varying between 0.7% and 13%, with production impact anticipated in Q4 2024.

 

The Company’s interests in the new Harlequin Wells was acquired in October 2024 in connection with the Company’s entry into the five year Participation Agreement (“PA”) and Area of Mutual Interest (“AMI”) with a large private Denver, Colorado-based D-J Basin E&P Company.  Pursuant to the PA, the companies have agreed to participate in the joint development of approximately 10,750 net acres collectively held by the companies in the SW Pony Prospect located in Weld County, Colorado, and formed an approximately 16,900 gross acre AMI in the prospect, with PEDVCO holding a 30% interest and the other party holding a 70% interest in the combined acreage. The companies contemplate drilling and completing a minimum of five horizontal Niobrara wells per year over the next five years.

 

In the Permian Basin, the Company is currently planning the next phase of development with Evolution Petroleum Corporation, anticipated to include four wells scheduled to begin drilling in early 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This earnings release discusses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA which are presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, less share-based compensation and gain on sale of oil and gas properties and gain on sale of fixed assets. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments. For example, although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than PEDEVCO Corp. does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. You should not consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) attributable to PEDEVCO Corp., to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA”, included at the end of this release.
