Tulsa, Oklahoma – RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: RAME) today announced third quarter 2009 production, earnings and financial highlights.

Larry Lee, Chairman and CEO stated “We continue to be pleased with production volumes, given the small amount of capital spent in the quarter. We are also pleased to report that cash flow generated from our operating activities combined with proceeds from asset sales has enabled us to fund all of our non-acquisition capital expenditures through the first nine months of this year and modestly reduce debt.”

Third quarter production of 630,000 barrel equivalents (BOE), was down 2% from 645,000 BOE in the third quarter 2008. Approximately one-half of the decline in the quarter to quarter comparison is attributable to the previously announced sale of approximately 140 BOE per day of production, impacting two months in the third quarter of 2009. Year to year comparisons were also influenced by the substantially reduced level of capital spent during the current quarter reflected in drilling and other activity compared to the level of drilling and other activity in last year’s third quarter in which non-acquisition capital expenditures totaled $19.5 million and total capital expenditures were $29.3 million. The third quarter 2009 saw modest production increases sequentially from the company’s developing fields category of properties but a decline in production from mature oil properties resulting from the slowdown in drilling compared to production in the second quarter 2009 of 652,000 BOE.

Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $8.7 million, or $0.12 per share, for the third quarter 2009 compared to $26.7 million, or $0.35 per share, in last year’s much higher hydrocarbon priced third quarter. Free cash flow fully funded third quarter non-acquisition capital expenditures of $4.0 million. EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $11.1 million for the third quarter, representing a decrease from the $31.5 million in last year’s third quarter.

For the third quarter 2009, RAM’s adjusted net loss to common shareholders (a non-GAAP measure) was $1.9 million, or a loss of $0.03 per share compared with adjusted net income of $11.4 million, or $0.15 per share in last year’s third quarter. The calculation of adjusted net income to common shareholders excludes the after tax impact of unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market (MTM) gains or losses associated with oil and natural gas derivatives covering future periods and other items. Such MTM gains or losses are typically not included in the published estimates of the company’s financial results made by certain securities analysts. Recent volatility in the price of oil and natural gas has created swings in the MTM value of RAM’s derivatives, making adjusted net income to shareholders a more consistent measure of financial performance comparable from period to period. Including MTM losses of $1.3 million for the third quarter, together with realized gains of $483,000 resulting from contract settlements net of amortized premium costs of derivatives, RAM reported a net loss to shareholders in the third quarter of $2.7 million, or $0.04 per share.

Commodity Prices and Revenues

The company’s realized price for oil fell 44% to an average of $65.74 per barrel in the third quarter of 2009, compared with last year’s third quarter average realized price of $116.81 per barrel. Similarly, the company’s realized price for natural gas declined 65% to an average of $3.10 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) compared to an average of $8.85 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, the price of NGLs dropped 56%, averaging $28.84 per barrel for this year’s third quarter. The company’s 2% lower production combined with a 51% lower hydrocarbon price combined to reduce oil and gas sales by 52% to $25.9 million in the current quarter compared to oil and gas sales in the year-ago quarter. The impact from the fall in oil and gas sales was further exacerbated by net losses recorded from our derivatives.

The volatility in commodity prices since June 30, 2009 resulted in net realized derivative gains of $483,000 and $1.3 million in unrealized MTM derivative losses of for the third quarter. The combined net loss of $800,000 further reduced total revenues and other operating income to $25.1 million compared to the year ago level of $83.5 million, which included a net $29.2 million gain from derivatives. At September 30, 2009 the company had derivative contracts in place covering approximately 2.1 million BOE for the next five quarters. For the fourth quarter 2009, RAM has a total of 276,000 barrels of oil, or 3,000 barrels per day of its production hedged at an average floor price per barrel of $65.00 and also has a total of 1.1 billion cubic feet, or 11,989 Mcf per day, of its natural gas production hedged at an average floor price of $5.00 per Mcf.

Costs and Expenses

Despite the benefit derived from a 14% decline in cash operating expenses, operating income for the third quarter fell by a much greater amount driven principally by substantially lower hydrocarbon prices. Production expenses were $15.51 per BOE in the third quarter of 2009, or a total of $9.8 million, 3% above the $15.08 per BOE in the previous year’s quarter. Production taxes were $2.10 per BOE in this year’s third quarter, or a total of $1.3 million, 57% below the $4.76 per BOE posted in the comparable 2008 quarter. The decrease in production taxes is principally the result of lower commodity prices in the current quarter compared to those prices prevailing in the third quarter of 2008. General and administrative expenses of $4.2 million fell 14% below those expenses in last year’s third quarter of $5.0 million as a result of accounting function consolidation, lower employee-related costs and lower professional fees compared to the year-ago quarter.

Capital Expenditures

Oil and natural gascapital expenditures totaled$4.0 million in the third quarter 2009; $3.9 million to developmental and exploratory activities, and $0.1 million for the acquisition of proved properties. During the third quarter, RAM participated in the drilling of 11 gross (10 net) development wells 5 gross (5 net) of which were completed and capable of commercial production. Of the remaining, 6 gross (5 net) wells were drilling or awaiting completion and 2 gross (0.2 net) were drilled in a previous quarter and were waiting on completion at the end of the quarter. In last year’s third quarter, total non-acquisition capital expenditures were $19.5 million and led to the drilling of 15.8 net development wells and one exploratory well. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2009, aggregate oil and natural gas capital expenditures totaled $21.7 million. During the nine months of 2008, total capital expenditures totaled $66.7 million.

Long-Term Debt and Liquidity

Long-term debt at September 30, 2009 under RAM’s credit facility totaled $250.2 million, composed of $110.2 million of term debt and $140.0 million outstanding under its revolver, which is currently subject to a $175.0 million borrowing base. Proceeds from non-strategic asset sales in late July coupled with cash flow in excess of capital spending during the third quarter was used to reduce long-term debt from $255.4 million in the second quarter 2009. Based on the borrowing base and the amount drawn on its revolver, at September 30, 2009 the company had $35.0 million available under its facility; however, advances in excess of $163.3 million at September 30, 2009 would have been restricted by a financial ratio covenant under the facility. On September 28, 2009 RAM announced that the company’s previous borrowing base of $175.0 million on its revolving credit facility was reaffirmed by its commercial lenders as a result of RAM’s regularly scheduled semi-annual borrowing base redetermination.

Interest expense for the third quarter 2009 was $5.6 million. The increase in interest expense compared to last year’s $4.8 million is attributable to higher average debt outstanding and a higher effective average interest rate partially attributable to the amendment in June 2009 to the company’s credit facility raising the base cash interest rate on both the revolving facility and the term facility and adding payment-in-kind interest to the term note in exchange for a relaxation of certain covenants in each facility. RAM’s weighted average cost of borrowed funds in the third quarter under its facility agreement was 8.9%.

Nine Month 2009 Results

The company’s nine month production totaled 1.94 million BOE, up 2% from 1.90 million BOE during the same period in 2008. The slight gain in production was more than offset by average hydrocarbon prices which, on a BOE basis, were 57% lower in the nine months of 2009 compared with the year ago period. As a result, oil and gas sales fell 56% to $68.4 million compared to $155.3 million last year.

Free cash flow per share (a non-GAAP measure) for the first nine months of 2009 was $33.7 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to $66.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Free cash flow of $33.7 million more than funded non-acquisition oil and gas capital expenditures of $20.7 million made during the first nine months of the year. EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $43.2 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $87.5 million for the same period last year.

Guidance

Based on production results through the nine months, the NYMEX strip of prices prevailing at September 30, 2009 for oil and natural gas and the company’s outlook for the remainder of the year, RAM expects aggregate production for the 2009 year to meet or exceed its stated previous target of 2.5 million BOE, including the negative impact from its non-strategic divestiture program currently underway. In addition, with interest costs aggregating to $12.8 million through the nine months of 2009, the company reaffirms the high end of its previously targeted interest cost range of $17.0 - $18.0 million for the 2009 year. Further, the company continues to target EBITDA at the lower-end of the $60.0 - $65.0 million range for the current year. Based on prices for oil and gas expected to prevail during the fourth quarter 2009 and existing company derivative positions, management expects that cash flow will continue to be sufficient to fund the remainder of the company’s capital expenditures for the year targeted to aggregate $30.0 - $35.0 million.

EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Net Income

( non-GAAP measures)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

(unaudited)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is determined by adding the following to net income (loss): interest expense, capitalized PIK interest, amortized deferred loan costs, income taxes, DD&A, accretion, share-based compensation, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and MTM settlement 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, unrealized MTM settlement charges and impairment charges 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 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.
