MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Sean Woolverton, SilverBow’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, "2018 proved to be another great year for SilverBow. We pursued a more active drilling program specifically designed to delineate our asset base. We completed more wells than originally planned and selectively moved toward high intensity slickwater fracs resulting in better well results. Our fourth quarter numbers were bolstered by successful liquids drilling, furthering the Company's move toward a more a balanced production mix. By leveraging our competitive lifting costs and taking advantage of our proximity to key downstream markets and favorable basis differentials, we continue to create sustainable value for our shareholders."
Woolverton commented further, “By focusing on repeatable results and continual per-unit cost reductions, we achieved our goal of expanding our full year Adjusted EBITDA margin to 65% of oil and gas sales. Our full year 2018 production increased 20%, and our lease operating expenses declined 33% on a per unit basis compared to full year 2017. Our growth profile is further supported by a deep inventory of high quality drilling locations providing over 15 years of development at a two-rig pace. As of year-end 2018, our proved reserves were 1.3 Tcfe with a PV-10 of $1.1 billion, an increase of 31% and 40%, respectively, from 2017. With a strong balance sheet and ongoing cost initiatives, our 2019 capital program should allow us to reach cash flow positive in the second half of 2019 while still generating meaningful annual production growth."
OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS
During the fourth quarter 2018, the Company brought 12 net wells online. For the full year, the Company drilled 33 net wells and completed 32 net wells. The number of wells completed is above the Company's prior guidance of 25-27 net wells. The Company drilled in all areas of its portfolio during 2018 and more recently has increased its investment in liquids opportunities.
In the Webb County Gas area, which includes Fasken, the Company brought 13 net wells online in 2018. The Company focused on developing its high return Lower Eagle Ford wells and strategically appraising and delineating its Upper Eagle Ford locations. The Fasken development demonstrates the Company’s shift to selectively employing high intensity slickwater fracs across its portfolio. For the second half of 2018, the Company averaged a completion intensity of approximately 2,700 pounds of proppant
per lateral foot and 59 barrels of fluid per lateral foot, an increase of 71% and 161%, respectively, from the first half of the year. The Company continues to value Fasken's consistent performance, low operating expense and upside potential.
In the La Salle Condensate area, which includes Artesia, the Company brought five net wells online in 2018. Due to operational improvements and service price reductions, the Company realized an 18% reduction in total well cost per foot from a two-well pad that was brought online in the third quarter and a three-well pad that was brought online in the fourth quarter. All five wells were completed similarly and averaged approximately 2,400 pounds of proppant per foot and 64 barrels of slickwater fluid per foot. Based on these results, the Company plans to accelerate the development of the La Salle Condensate area in 2019, which it believes will increase its oil and natural gas liquids production.
In the Southern Eagle Ford Gas fairway, which includes Oro Grande, Uno Mas and south AWP, the Company carried forward its successful delineation and appraisal across its 60,000 gross acre position. The Company continues to realize operational efficiencies with its NMC 6H well costing 30% less and being drilled 35% faster than the average of its NMC 1H through NMC 5H wells. In addition, the Company continued to add to its position through leasing and acreage trades. The Company swapped 2,300 net isolated acres for 4,300 net acres contiguous to its Southern Eagle Ford Gas area. In total, this acreage trade added 35 gross drilling locations. Additionally, the acreage the Company traded away was stranded and would have required a significant amount of midstream capital investment in order to develop.
In the McMullen Oil area, which includes north AWP and where the Company had not been active for several years, the team set a Company record by drilling an 11,400 foot lateral in the fourth quarter with a second well on this pad also exceeding 11,000 feet. During 2018, the Company decreased its drilling cost per lateral foot on a recent three-well pad by 27% compared to a three-well pad drilled in 2014. These developments have affected both the cost and the speed of drilling, with the team setting a spud to total depth Company record of 6.8 days on the SMR 21H, a 31% reduction from the prior Company record.
In 2018, the Company conducted numerous initiatives to reduce capital expenditures, including moving to offline production cementing, using significant amounts of regional sand and the more widespread utilization of simultaneous-operations. Offline production cementing, which allows drilling rigs to reduce walking time in-between wells, saved roughly one-half day per well on multi-well pads. In 2018, the Company pumped over 200 million pounds of regional sand, over 30% of the total sand pumped for the year, and aims to increase this percentage in 2019 due to its compelling value proposition. The Company's use of simultaneous-operations, including flowback and drill out activities, helped decrease the time to bring a well online by two days on average. These shortened cycle times, combined with our artificial intelligence guided rate-transient analysis, allow the Company to turn wells online faster and manage them better during the critical initial flowback period.
PRODUCTION VOLUMES, OPERATING COSTS, AND REALIZED PRICES
The Company's total net production for the fourth quarter averaged approximately 227 MMcfe/d, which was above the midpoint of guidance. Production mix for the fourth quarter consisted of approximately 6% crude oil, 84% natural gas, and 10% NGLs.
Lease operating expenses of $0.23/Mcfe were lower than the $0.34/Mcfe reported in the fourth quarter 2017, a decrease of 33%. Lease operating expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 were within the Company’s guidance range, primarily driven by continued cost reduction initiatives.
After deducting $1.7 million of non-cash compensation expense, cash general and administrative costs of $4.0 million were significantly lower than the $5.0 million reported in the fourth quarter 2017. Cash general and administrative costs compared favorably to guidance due to ongoing efforts to reduce administrative costs.
Fourth quarter transportation and processing expenses came in at $0.35/Mcfe, while production and ad valorem taxes were 3.7% of oil and gas revenue. Production and ad valorem taxes came in below the low end of the Company's guidance range.
The Company’s average realized natural gas price, excluding the effect of hedging, was $3.84/Mcf in the fourth quarter compared to $2.97/Mcf in the third quarter. The average realized crude oil selling price, excluding the effect of hedging, was $61.19/Bbl in the fourth quarter, down from $71.68/Bbl in the third quarter. The average realized NGL selling price in the fourth quarter was $22.81/Bbl, compared to $30.59/Bbl in the third quarter. The Company continues to benefit from strong basis pricing in the Eagle Ford. Crude oil and natural gas realizations in the fourth quarter were 104% and 105% of WTI and Henry Hub, respectively, excluding hedging.
YEAR-END 2018 RESERVES
The Company reported year-end estimated proved reserves of 1.35 trillion cubic feet equivalent (Tcfe), an increase of 31% over year-end 2017. Specific highlights from the Company’s year-end reserve report include:
• | Finding and development costs of $0.74/Mcfe |
• | All-sources reserve replacement of 617% |
• | Standardized Measure of $994 million |
• | PV-10 value (non-GAAP measure) of $1.1 billion, an increase of 40% over prior year |
The table below reconciles 2017 reserves to 2018 reserves:
Total (MMcfe) | ||
Proved reserves as of December 31, 2017 | 1,024,421 | |
Extensions, discoveries and other additions | 450,354 | |
Revisions of previous estimates | (34,443 | ) |
Purchases of minerals in place | 427 | |
Sales of minerals in place | (27,867 | ) |
Production | (67,530 | ) |
Proved reserves as of December 31, 2018 | 1,345,362 | |
The Company's total estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2018, were approximately 6% crude oil, 81% natural gas, and 13% NGLs, while 41% of its total proved reserves were developed. All of the Company's proved reserves are located in Texas. Total capital costs incurred during 2018 were $308.3 million, which included approximately $284.5 million for development costs, $22.7 million for leasehold acquisition and prospect costs, and $1.1 million for property acquisitions.
The SEC prices used for reporting the Company's year-end 2018 estimated proved reserves, which have been adjusted for basis and quality differentials, were $3.04 per Mcf for natural gas, $26.63 per Bbl for natural gas liquids and $66.96 per Bbl for crude oil compared to $2.95 per Mcf, $20.32 per Bbl, and $50.38 per Bbl in 2017. Using the SEC prices, the pre-tax present value of future net cash flows discounted at 10% (“PV-10”) of the year-end 2018 proved reserves was $1.1 billion with a Standardized Measure of $994 million.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company reported total oil and gas revenues of $88.2 million for the fourth quarter, up 36% over the third quarter. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $56.8 million for the fourth quarter, which includes a net gain on the value of the Company's hedge portfolio of $20.9 million.
The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $56.5 million for the fourth quarter, up 27% over the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the tables included with today's news release for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
Capital expenditures incurred during the fourth quarter totaled approximately $95 million.
2019 CAPITAL PROGRAM
The Company provided its 2019 capital budget range of $250-$260 million, which provides for 26-27 net operated wells drilled compared to 33 net operated wells in 2018. Approximately 85% of the 2019 capital budget is allocated toward drilling and completion, driven primarily by 18-19 net wells in the La Salle Condensate area, two net wells in the McMullen Oil area, five net wells in the Southern Eagle Ford gas fairway and one net well in the Webb County gas area.
For 2019, the Company will be moving to a one-rig program in the second quarter. It will be retaining its super-spec rig which has walking capabilities. The Company will be utilizing this rig primarily on development drilling, but will continue drilling some delineation and appraisal wells in support of the Company's strategic goal of moving into development mode for all of its areas. The Company is already seeing pricing across drilling and completions services reminiscent of 2015 and is selectively locking in long-term contracts with limited to no commitment of activity levels for volume of sales.
2019 GUIDANCE
For the first quarter, the Company is guiding for estimated production of 210-217 MMcfe/d. For the full year, the Company is guiding for estimated production of 225-239 MMcfe/d, implying a 25% increase year over year based on the mid-point of the guidance range. Additional detail concerning the Company's first quarter and full year 2019 financial and operational guidance can be found in the table included with today’s news release and the Corporate Presentation uploaded to the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.
HEDGING UPDATE
Hedging continues to be an important element of SilverBow’s strategy. The Company maintains an active hedging program to provide predictable cash flows while still allowing for flexibility in capturing price increases. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately 65% of total estimated production volumes hedged for full year 2019, using the mid-point of production guidance. The Company continues to layer on additional hedges when prices are favorable, including both oil and gas basis. Please see the Company's Form 10-K filing, which the Company expects to file on Thursday, February 28, 2019, for a detailed summary of derivative contracts.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's liquidity as of December 31, 2018, was $217.5 million, primarily consisting of $2.5 million of cash and $215.0 million of availability under the Company’s credit facility. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations
for at least the next twelve months and execute its long-term development plans. As of January 31, 2019, the Company had 11.7 million total common shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
We present adjusted EBITDA attributable to common stockholders (“Adjusted EBITDA”) in addition to our reported net income (loss) in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also used to assess our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. When we refer to the term Adjusted EBITDA margin, we mean Adjusted EBITDA divided by Oil and Gas Sales.
Our Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Finding and Development (“F&D”) Cost Calculation:
(Unaudited)
F&D costs are commonly used to assist in the evaluation of how much it costs the Company, on a per Mcfe basis, to add proved reserves. We present F&D costs in addition to and used in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Due to various factors, including but not limited to timing differences, F&D costs do not necessarily reflect precisely the costs associated with particular reserves. Further, our F&D costs may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate F&D costs in the same manner.
F&D All-In costs are calculated by dividing the total acquisition, exploration, and development costs for the year by extensions, discoveries, and other additions, purchases of minerals in place, and total revisions for the year.
Reserve replacement ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of extensions, discoveries, and other additions, purchases of minerals in place, and total revisions for the year by production.
