COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. REPORTS
SECOND QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

FRISCO, TEXAS, July 30, 2012 – Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) today reported financial and operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Financial Results for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Low natural gas prices continue to adversely impact the Company's financial results in the second quarter of 2012 as Comstock reported a net loss of $10.3 million or 22¢ per share as compared to net income of $3.9 million or 8¢ per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The second quarter of 2012 results included a $5.3 million ($3.4 million after tax, or 7¢ per diluted share) impairment on certain natural gas properties as well as a gain of $20.3 million ($13.2 million after tax or 28¢ per diluted share) from the sale of oil and gas properties.  Results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 included a gain on sale of marketable securities of $8.5 million ($5.5 million after tax or 12¢ per diluted share).

Comstock's production in the second quarter of 2012 of 583 thousand barrels of oil and 21.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas or 25.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("Bcfe") increased 6% over the 24.0 Bcfe produced in the second quarter of 2011.  Oil production increased 267% over 2011's second quarter.  Oil production in the second quarter, which averaged 6,400 barrels of oil per day, grew 14% from the 5,600 barrels per day produced in the first quarter of 2012.
 
Comstock's average realized natural gas price of $2.03 per Mcf for the second quarter of 2012 was 52% lower than the $4.19 per Mcf realized for the second quarter of 2011.  The Company's average realized oil price for the second quarter of 2012, including hedging gains, was $103.37 per barrel, which was 2% higher than the second quarter of 2011's average price of $101.02.  Comstock's higher oil production in the second quarter only partially offset the effect of the extraordinarily low natural gas prices as oil and gas sales for the second quarter of 2012 decreased by 7% to $104.7 million as compared to 2011's second quarter sales of $112.5 million.  Oil sales composed 58% of total sales in the quarter as compared to only 14% in the second quarter of 2011.  Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) of $61.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 was 20% lower than operating cash flow of $77.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, and EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses, of $74.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 14% from EBITDAX of $87.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.  The lower natural gas prices not only caused revenues, cash flow, EBITDAX and earnings to decline but also resulted in an increase to the Company's depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in the quarter due to the exclusion of a substantial amount of the Company's undeveloped natural gas reserves from proved reserves.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Comstock reported a net loss of $3.4 million or 7¢ per share for the first six months of 2012 as compared to net income of $6.4 million or 13¢ per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The 2012 results include a gain of $27.1 million ($17.6 million after tax or 38¢ per diluted share) from the sale of oil and gas properties which generated net proceeds of $146.1 million and a gain of $26.6 million ($17.3 million or 37¢ per share) on the sale of marketable securities which generated net proceeds of $37.7 million.  The six months 2012 financial results also included impairments of oil and gas properties and unevaluated leases of $6.7 million ($4.4 million after tax, or 9¢ per diluted share).  Results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included a gain on sale of marketable securities of $29.7 million ($19.3 million after tax or 42¢ per diluted share), impairments of unevaluated leases of $9.5 million ($6.1 million or 13¢ per share), and a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.7 million or 2¢ per share).

Comstock's production in the first half of 2012 of 50.8 Bcfe increased 16% over the 43.9 Bcfe produced in the first half of 2011.  Oil comprised 13% of production during this period in 2012 as compared to only 4% in 2011.  Natural gas prices were substantially weaker in the first six months of 2012 as compared to 2011's first six months.  Comstock's average realized natural gas price decreased 43% to $2.34 per Mcf for the first six months of 2012 as compared to $4.08 per Mcf for the first six months of 2011.  The Company's average realized oil price for the first six months of 2012 of $102.43 per barrel, including hedging gains, was 7% above 2011's average realized price of $95.89.  Oil and gas sales increased by 7% to $215.0 million in the first six months of 2012 as compared to 2011's first six months sales of $200.5 million.  The higher production level in the first half of 2012 was partially offset by the low natural gas prices.  Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) of $128.1 million in the first six months of 2012 decreased 4% from 2011's first six months operating cash flow of $133.2 million.  EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses, increased 1% to $153.6 million in 2012's first six months from 2011's first six months EBITDAX of $152.2 million.

2012 Drilling Results

Comstock reported on the results to date of its 2012 drilling program.  During the first six months of 2012, Comstock has spent $314.3 million on development and exploration activities and $16.1 million on acreage and other acquisitions.  Comstock drilled 39 wells (31.0 net) and had five wells (3.6 net) drilling at June 30, 2012.  The wells drilled in the second quarter included eight (7.2 net) oil wells in West Texas and eight (7.0 net) oil wells in the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas.  At the end of the second quarter of 2012, the Company's six operated drilling rigs were all drilling oil wells in South Texas and West Texas as the Company has suspended its natural gas drilling operations until natural gas prices improve.

Since the beginning of 2012, the Company has completed 31 oil wells, fifteen in the vertical Wolfbone program in its West Texas region and sixteen in the horizontal Eagle Ford shale program in the South Texas region.  The sixteen Eagle Ford shale wells that were completed had an average per well initial production rate of 565 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day.  Of the eight new Eagle Ford wells completed this quarter, the Donnell C #1H, the Carlson C #1H and the Hubberd #3 H in McMullen County had the highest initial production rates at 938, 862 and 793 BOE per day, respectively.  These wells are being produced under the Company's restricted choke program.  Longer term production results from the first 29 Eagle Ford shale wells have confirmed the benefit of this program.  The twenty-nine wells, which have been producing for more than 90 days, had an average initial production rate of 679 BOE per day.  The 30 day per well production rate for these wells averaged 514 BOE per day and the 90 day per well production rate averaged 453 BOE per day, or 67% of the initial 24 hour test rate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Since closing on the acquisition of acreage in Reeves County in West Texas, Comstock has drilled and completed thirteen operated vertical Wolfbone wells.  These wells were drilled to total depths of 11,370 to 12,786 feet and completed with 5 to 11 frac stages.  These wells have an average per well initial production rate of 374 BOE per day (78% oil).  Comstock's vertical Wolfbone wells continue to be some of the best vertical oil wells in the play.  Of the eight new wells reported on this quarter, three wells had initial production rates over 400 BOE per day including the Pat Garrett 38 #1 at 489 BOE, the Buffalo Bill 9 #1 at 517 BOE and the Trigger 40 #1 at 419 BOE.  Comstock is currently drilling its first horizontal well, the Monroe 35 #1-H, targeting the Wolfcamp shale formation.
