Tulsa, Oklahoma – RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: RAME) today announced second quarter 2008 production, earnings and financial highlights.

Second quarter production totaled 644 thousand barrel equivalents (BOE), up 91 % from 337 thousand BOE in the second quarter 2007, driven primarily by production from “developing fields” of 189 thousand BOE and production from “mature oil fields” of 290 thousand BOE. These areas produced 24 thousand BOE and 158 thousand BOE, respectively, in the prior year’s quarter. While year to year

comparisons are influenced considerably by our acquisition of Ascent Energy in November 2007, second quarter production also rose 5 % sequentially above the 612 thousand BOE produced in the first quarter of 2008, driven primarily by our drilling activity in South Texas, which increased production to 161 thousand BOE in the second quarter vs. 131 thousand BOE in the first quarter 2008.         Total sales of oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas totaled $57.6 million, 222 % above similar hydrocarbon sales in the second quarter of last year.

Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $24.8 million, or $0.36 per share, for the second quarter 2008 compared to $7.1 million, or $0.18 per share, in last year’s second quarter. Free cash flow of $24.8 million fully funded the second quarter capital expenditure program of $24.2 million. Similarly, EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) grew to a record level of $32.0 million for the second quarter, representing an increase of 223 % from the same period last year.

For the second quarter 2008, RAM’s adjusted net income to common shareholders was $14.8 million, or $0.21 per common share. The calculation of adjusted net income to common shareholders excludes the after tax impact of unrealized non-cash mark-to-market (MTM) losses associated with oil and natural gas derivatives covering future periods. Such MTM losses are typically not included in the published estimates of the company’s financial results made by certain securities analysts. During the second quarter an unrealized non-cash pre-tax MTM loss of $33.8 million attributable to future period oil and natural gas derivatives was incurred primarily as a result of an increase in oil and natural gas prices at June 30, 2008 compared to prevailing prices at March 31, 2008. Including the MTM losses noted above and realized losses associated with contract settlements and premium costs of derivatives during the second quarter 2008, RAM reported a net loss to common shareholders during the second quarter of $5.9 million, or a loss of $0.08 per common share. Recent extreme volatility in oil and natural gas prices has created wide swings in the MTM value of RAM’s derivatives. As an example, from June 30, 2008 to July 31, 2008 the MTM value of the company’s derivatives moved in the company’s favor by approximately $18.9 million.

“We are pleased with the results the company has experienced from our drilling activities during the first half of 2008 and remain focused on growing both our production and reserves,” said Larry Lee,

Chairman and CEO. “RAM continues to execute on our balanced strategy of acquisitions, exploitation and exploration,” added Mr. Lee.

Commodity Prices and Revenues

The company’s realized price for oil rose 97 % to an average of $123.15 per barrel in the second quarter of 2008, compared with last year’s second quarter average realized price of $62.54 per barrel. Similarly, the company’s realized price for natural gas rose 48 % to an average of $9.94 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) compared to an average of $6.70 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2007. In addition, the price of NGLs increased 36 %, averaging $60.58 per barrel for this year’s second quarter. The positive impact arising from the substantial increase in the price of all our commodities, however, was somewhat offset by the cost of derivatives.

At June 30, 2008 the company had derivative contracts in place covering 3,790 BOE per day for the next 21 months. The company does not formally designate its derivative contracts as hedges, nor are its derivative contracts associated with its production; therefore realized prices are not strictly associated with derivative gains or losses. In the second quarter 2008 the realized prices of oil and natural gas rose 28 % and 32 %, respectively, over those in the first quarter of the year. The substantial rise in commodity prices resulted in realized derivative losses of $7.2 million and unrealized MTM derivative losses of $33.8 million for the second quarter. These losses offset a substantial portion of oil and gas revenue of $57.6 million, reducing total revenues to $16.6 million for the quarter. In the year-ago quarter, the realized prices of oil and natural gas rose a more modest 11 % and 8 %, respectively. The resulting impact to realized and unrealized losses was a nominal $0.2 million, and, as a result, total revenues for the second quarter 2007 were $17.8 million.

Costs and Expenses

Production expenses were $14.69 per BOE in the second quarter of 2008, or a total of $9.5 million, similar to the $13.89 per BOE in the previous year’s quarter. It is noteworthy that production expense as a percentage of oil and gas sales declined substantially to 16 % in the most recent quarter compared to 26 % in the similar period last year. Production taxes were $5.19 per BOE in this year’s second quarter, or a total of $3.3 million, 71 % above the $3.04 per BOE posted in the 2007 quarter. The

 

-More-

 


increase is principally the result of higher commodity prices compared to those prevailing in the second quarter of 2007. General and administrative expenses of $5.5 million rose 115 % above those expenses in last year’s second quarter of $ 2.6 million as a result of higher salary expense, an increased number of employees and the accrual of certain recurring expenses. As in the case of production expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of oil and gas sales declined to 10 % in the second quarter 2008 from the year-ago level of 14 %.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $24.2 million in the second quarter 2008; $16.0 million was allocated to lower risk development activities, $7.6 million to exploratory activities and $0.6 million for the acquisition of leases. The non-acquisition capital budget for the 2008 year remains at $80.0 million. During the second quarter RAM participated in the drilling of 25 gross (21.8 net) wells, of which 12 were completed as producing wells, and 13 were in various stages of completion at June 30.

Long-Term Debt

Our capital base and common stock float was enhanced by the exercise of 96 % of the company’s outstanding warrants in May 2008. The $86.6 million of new capital received from the exercise was applied to debt reduction, lowering our net debt to total capital ratio to 57 % at June 30, 2008 from 77 % at December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, RAM’s outstanding long-term debt was $255.1 million, compared to $335.7 million at December 31, 2007. The current cost of borrowed funds is 6.8 % which is a 390 basis point decrease from the cost at December 31, 2007. In addition, 17.6 million new shares of common stock were added as a result of the exercise, improving the float and raising total shares outstanding to 78.6 million.

Six Month 2008 Results

Six month production totaled 1.3 million BOE, up 93 % from 650 thousand BOE in 2007, driven primarily by production from “developing fields” of 356 thousand BOE and production from “mature oil fields” of 569 thousand BOE. These areas produced 39 thousand BOE and 416 thousand BOE, respectively, in the prior year’s similar period. The increase in production in the first half of the year, combined with higher prices for commodities, drove total sales of oil, NGLs and natural gas to $101.1 million, 206 % above sales in the same period of 2007.

Free cash flow per share (a non-GAAP measure) for the first half of 2008 was $39.3 million, or $0.61 per share compared to $10.4 million, or $0.27 per share, for the same period last year. Free cash flow of $39.3 million more than funded capital expenditures of $37.4 million made during the first six months of the year. Similarly, EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $56.0 million for the first half of 2008 compared to $17.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of 216%.

Update to Activity in West Virginia Devonian Shale Play

RAM is underway with the drilling of the initial six wells of the 14 horizontal wells planned for 2008 on its West Virginia acreage. Each of the planned wells requires approximately 15 days to drill and targets the Huron Shale at a depth of approximately 6,400 feet, which includes a lateral section of approximately 2,500 feet. Three initial wells in the planned series, the C.S. Ball 1-H, R. Mays 1-H and the M. Jordan 1-H have all been drilled and are in various stages of completing or testing. A fourth well, the J.D. & B. Sturgeon 1-H, is currently drilling. The next two wells in the planned sequence have been permitted and are targeted to spud in late August and early September, respectively. In these initial wells, RAM is experimenting with several frac products and techniques in an effort to support the ultimate commercialization of the company’s Huron Shale play.

Second Half 2008 Targets

Management anticipates production gains of 2 % - 3 % sequentially during the remaining two quarters before the impact of a divestiture program currently underway. Management is actively pursuing the sale of certain non-core reserves and associated production in selected mature fields. Although the timing associated with the transactions is uncertain, management expects that proceeds from these property sales could aggregate to approximately $10 - $20 million. At the current time, uses of the potential proceeds include additional debt reduction, an increase in capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes.

Production expenses are expected to continue at levels during the second half of the year similar to those incurred in the first half of 2008. Our blended cost of funded debt of 6.8 % should allow interest expense to decrease to approximately $1.6 million per month beginning in the third quarter. Additionally the company’s effective tax rate should continue to average approximately 39 %.

Based on an assumed BOE price equal to that realized during the first half of 2008, free cash flow is expected to continue to allow internally generated funds to support all of the $42.6 million of non-acquisition capital spending planned under our existing $80.0 million capital budget for the year, while at the same time also allowing for the continued reduction of outstanding debt.

EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Net Income

( non-GAAP measures)

(unaudited)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, represents cash provided by operating activities before the impact of interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, accretion, share based compensation and unrealized gains or losses on derivative transactions. Free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure representing EBITDA after adjustments for the cash portion of interest and income taxes. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure which excludes the income tax affected impact of unrealized derivative gains or losses on GAAP income. These non-GAAP measures are presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to cash provided by operating activities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are widely accepted as financial indicators of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund exploration and development activities and fund debt service costs. These non-GAAP measures are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash provided (used) by operating, investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.
