SilverBow Resources Successfully Executing Strategic Priorities to Drive Shareholder Value

Files Investor Presentation and Sends Letter to Shareholders Highlighting Track Record of Profitable Growth

Board Urges Shareholders to Vote “FOR” ALL of SilverBow’s Highly Qualified Directors on the WHITE Proxy Card

HOUSTON – April 29, 2024 – SilverBow Resources, Inc. (NYSE: SBOW) (“SilverBow” or the “Company”) today released an investor presentation and mailed a letter to shareholders in connection with the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). Both will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional company resources for the 2024 Annual Meeting can be found at www.futureofsilverbow.com.

Highlights include:

 

   

SilverBow Has a Strong Track Record of Outperformance: Since 2021, our total shareholder return is 503%, compared to 193% for the XOP E&P Index.1

 

   

Management Is Successfully Executing its Proven Strategy: We are generating strong operating results and recently set quarterly records for free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA.2 We expect this momentum to continue; and

 

   

The Board Is Acting in Shareholders Best Interests: Our Board is composed of independent directors that bring direct industry expertise and public company board and executive leadership experience.

The full text of the letter follows:

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

 

1 

As of 4/26/24. The total shareholder return (TSR) represents the total return earned on an investment in SilverBow common stock made on 12/31/20. For XOP, assumes that dividends were invested when received.

2 

Non-GAAP measure. Refer to Appendix A to SilverBow’s March 28, 2024 Shareholder Letter (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024) for definitions and reconciliations.


SilverBow Resources’ Board and management team remain laser-focused on positioning the business to continue driving value for ALL shareholders. Our stock has significantly outperformed the XOP Index over the last several years.

On the other hand, Kimmeridge Energy Management Company, LLC, is running a costly proxy fight to gain control of your Company without paying you a premium for your investment. Kimmeridge has one goal: to force a dilutive, value-destructive combination with Kimmeridge Texas Gas (KTG).

Shareholders should note:

 

   

SilverBow Has a Strong Track Record of Outperformance: Since 2021, our total shareholder return is 503%, compared to 193% for the XOP E&P Index.1

 

   

Management Is Successfully Executing its Proven Strategy: We are generating strong operating results and recently set quarterly records for free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA.2 We expect this momentum to continue.

 

   

The Board Is Acting in Shareholders Best Interests: Our Board is composed of independent directors that bring direct industry expertise and public company board and executive leadership experience.

To protect the value of your investment, using the WHITE proxy card, please vote “FOR” all SilverBow director nominees: Gabriel L. Ellisor, Kathleen McAllister and Charles W. Wampler.

You can learn more about the quality of our Board, positive governance changes and SilverBow’s value creation opportunity at www.futureofsilverbow.com.

Additional information that outlines our strategy can be found in the investor presentation SilverBow recently published at www.futureofsilverbow.com/investor-presentation.

SilverBow’s Proven Strategy Is Delivering Results

Our Board has been overseeing a clear and proven strategy to drive shareholder value by:

 

   

Building a scaled and durable portfolio characterized by a deep inventory of drilling opportunities and commodity diversity;

 

   

Driving efficiencies and enhancing margins to capture sustainable capital efficiencies and greater margins;

 

   

Delivering profitable growth through continued execution of our returns-focused strategy; and

 

   

Strengthening the balance sheet and deepening liquidity, with strong free cash flow generation.


The results of this strategy:

 

   

Secured decade+ of high-quality drilling inventory with about 1,000 locations across our 220,000 net acres;

 

   

Executed a transformative South Texas acquisition in late 2023 that enhanced scale and added important capital allocation flexibility;

 

   

Achieved peer-leading cost structure (opex 40%+ lower than peer average and cash G&A 65%+ lower than peer average) and best-in-class margin profile (EBITDA margin 20%+ higher than peer average);

 

   

Posted 21% average ROCE (2021-23);

 

   

Generated four consecutive years of free cash flow through ongoing capital discipline;

 

   

Improved our capital structure through a lower debt, higher liquidity focus; and

 

   

Optimized 2024 plan to maximize free cash flow and fund high-return oil and liquids developments.

Our success is being recognized by the market. The Company has outpaced the XOP E&P index since 2021, delivering total shareholder returns of 503% compared to 193% for the XOP E&P Index, as well as outsized returns over one-, three- and five-year periods.1,3

SilverBow’s Highly Qualified Directors Are Also Further Enhancing Our Governance

A strong Board and robust governance practices are critical to sustained value creation. Our legacy existing governance structure was adopted in the aftermath of our 2016 financial restructuring. As our original ownership has changed, our Board is evolving SilverBow’s governance to better align with best practices.

After discussions with our current shareholders, we are proposing significant governance changes at the upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting:

 

   

Declassifying the Board and providing for the annual election of all directors;

 

   

Adopting a majority voting standard in uncontested elections of directors; and

 

   

Eliminating the supermajority vote requirements for shareholders to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

We have also continued to strengthen our Board with new skill sets, collective experiences and enhanced diversity.

We have a highly engaged, experienced Board that is working to maximize value. Since 2023, SilverBow has added four highly qualified new independent directors, which we believe gives us the right balance of valuable company knowledge and fresh perspectives in the boardroom. Each director has extensive experience in the energy sector, including Leland T. “Lee” Jourdan, the Board’s most recent addition.

 

3 

As of 4/26/24. The 1, 3 and 5-year total shareholder return (TSR) represents the total return earned on an investment in SilverBow common stock made at the beginning of a 1, 3, and 5-year period, respectively. For XOP, assumes that dividends were invested when received.


Our three independent directors who are up for election at this year’s Annual Meeting – Gabriel L. Ellisor, Kathleen McAllister and Charles W. Wampler – bring extensive public company board and executive leadership experience. Of note, Kathleen McAllister is a recent addition to the Board, joining in January 2023.

 

Our Directors Are Independent, Highly Qualified and Not Conflicted
Gabriel L. Ellisor   

•  Significant financial experience developed through 25 years in the finance sector of the oil and gas industry

 

•  Extensive M&A experience at Rivington Capital and serving as CFO of two oil and gas acquisition vehicles exited within five years for proceeds of $2.5 billion

 

•  Expertise in successfully raising capital at energy companies

Kathleen McAllister   

•  Significant experience overseeing financial and operational functions at large multinational companies

 

•  Public company CEO and CFO experience at capital-intensive global companies in the energy value chain

 

•  Expertise executing strategic transactions, including leading Transocean Partners’ IPO in 2014

Charles W. Wampler   

•  Significant understanding of E&P company challenges leveraging 40+ years of industry experience

 

•  Decades of operational expertise, including working as COO of large multinational energy companies

 

•  Track record of overseeing employee safety and minimizing environmental impacts of E&P operations

In contrast to Kimmeridge’s highly conflicted nominees who have a personal interest in supporting Kimmeridge’s dilutive proposal, our directors are focused on delivering value for SilverBow shareholders.

Kimmeridge’s Proxy Fight Is About Forcing a Value-Destructive Combination With Kimmeridge Texas Gas (KTG); Its Highly Conflicted Nominees Are Incentivized to Carry Out Kimmeridge’s Self-Serving Agenda

We have put out extensive information about our two-year engagement with Kimmeridge. This includes reaching a deal on agreed terms, which Kimmeridge ultimately reneged on because they were unable to secure financing. Most recently, Kimmeridge presented a value-destructive proposal to merge KTG with SilverBow which undervalued SilverBow while substantially overvaluing its own KTG assets. The SilverBow Board previously rejected the proposal, determining that it was NOT in the best interests of SilverBow shareholders. SilverBow published our analysis of the proposal in our April 22, 2024 shareholder letter, also available here.


Although Kimmeridge withdrew its proposal, we believe they are pursuing a proxy contest in an attempt to gain control of SilverBow and ultimately force this value-destructive transaction upon our shareholders.

We strongly believe appointing Kimmeridge’s nominees to the Board would jeopardize SilverBow’s proven strategy and business plan and ultimately diminish shareholder value. Kimmeridge’s three nominees – Carrie Fox, Douglas Brooks and Katherine Minyard – are not aligned with all SilverBow shareholders, and we believe the self-interested agenda of Kimmeridge and their nominees risks impeding our progress, ability to pursue non-Kimmeridge related business opportunities and the value we are poised to create for our shareholders.

Analysts Have Raised Serious Concerns Regarding the KTG Proposal “Using high level metrics, the merger proposal does not look favorable to SilverBow shareholders. Kimmeridge’s proposal values KTG at $1.4B, and KTG production stands at 315 Mmcfe/d, 85% natural gas. SilverBow has an EV of $2.0B and production of 545 Mmcfe/d, 55% natural gas. Under the proposal KTG would represent 37% of combined production and 41% of combined value. On a cash flow basis, the relative contribution of KTG would be even lower, given KTG’s higher natural gas percentage. ” March 13, 2024 “It is unclear to us if stand-alone KTG should be valued at the same trading multiple as SilverBow shares. […] We believe using a similar trading multiple for both SilverBow shares and private operator KTG for merger math may not make sense. While KTG has a lower leverage profile, it is smaller in terms of total production, liquids production, and annual EBITDA. Should the two parties engage in discussions, we expect the total number of shares to be issued to be a prominent debate point. We are unsure if issuing 32.4M shares to Kimmeridge for KTG is in the best interests of SilverBow shareholders.” March 14, 2024 Source: Wall Street Research Note: Permission to use quotes neither sought nor obtained Investor Presentation 22 4/28/2024

KTG’s Gas Focused Locations Do Not Compete for Capital vs. SilverBow’s Liquids Inventory in the Current Price Environment KTG Inventory Does Not Compete for Capital at Current Commodity Prices • Kimmeridge’s inventory, being more gas-weighted, would dilute SilverBow’s portfolio and limit the Company’s ability to respond to rising oil prices • Our analysis shows that less than 20% of the combined entity’s inventory would achieve an asset level internal rate of return of 25% or higher KTG Obligations Would be Detrimental to Optimizing Operations and Development Plan • Kimmeridge’s disclosure reveals that KTG assets would significantly raise the pro forma company’s capital and midstream commitments, limiting SilverBow’s flexibility and compelling it to develop inferior KTG inventory • Despite other E&Ps, including SilverBow, reducing rigs due to low gas prices, Kimmeridge has increased production to meet these obligations Gross Inventory by Development Type IRR at $70/Bbl & $3.25/MMBtu Locations by Quartile 140% 3% 120% 24% 39% 31% 6% 46% 100% 14% 4% 5% 15% 97% 4% 14% 24% 80% %) 56% 36% 50% 32% ( 60% IRR 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 4th Quartile Total 40% 20% —% SBOW Liquids SBOW Dry Gas KTG Liquids KTG Dry Gas Source: Enverus, Kimmeridge website Note: Liquids = Oil/NGLs.

Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA: The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common stockholders in addition to reported net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) plus (less) depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, interest expense, net losses (gains) on commodity derivative contracts, amounts collected (paid) for commodity derivative contracts held to settlement, income tax expense (benefit); and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that SilverBow believes affect the comparability of operating results, including items that are generally non-recurring in nature or whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company’s management and by external users of SilverBow’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. It is also used to assess SilverBow’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. 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 GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is important as it is considered among the financial covenants under the Company’s First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement” and the borrowing facility provided thereby), a material source of liquidity for SilverBow. Please reference the Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 8-K for discussion of the Credit Agreement and its covenants. Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio: In accordance with the Leverage Ratio calculation for the Credit Agreement, the Company makes certain adjustments to its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) plus pro forma EBITDA contributions related to closed acquisitions. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio is useful to investors because it reflects the last twelve months EBITDA used by the administrative agent for the Credit Facility in the calculation of its leverage ratio covenant. Cash General and Administrative Expenses: Cash G&A expenses is a non-GAAP measure calculated as net general and administrative costs less share-based compensation. The Company reports cash G&A expenses because it believes this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period. In addition, SilverBow believes cash G&A expenses are used by analysts and others in valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry to allow for analysis of G&A spend without regard to stock-based compensation which can vary substantially from company to company. Cash G&A expenses should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, total G&A expenses. The Company has provided forward-looking Cash G&A expenses estimate; however, SilverBow is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because the items necessary to estimate such forward-looking GAAP measure are not accessible or estimable at this time without unreasonable efforts. The reconciling items in future periods could be significant. EBITDA Margin: EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) divided by oil and gas sales plus amounts collected (paid) for commodity derivative contracts held to settlement. The Company believes that EBITDA Margin Ratio is useful to investors in making comparisons across the peer group. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow per Share: Free cash flow is calculated as EBITDA (defined above) plus (less) monetized derivative contracts, cash interest expense, capital expenditures and current income tax (expense) benefit. The Company believes that free cash flow is useful to investors and analysts because it assists in evaluating SilverBow’s operating performance, and the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas industry. Free cash flow per share is calculated by taking free cash flow divided by the number of common shares outstanding of the Company at a given date. SilverBow uses this information as one of the bases for comparing its operating performance with other companies within the oil and gas industry. Free cash flow 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 GAAP. The Company has provided forward-looking free cash flow and free cash flow per share estimates; however, SilverBow is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because the items necessary to estimate such forward-looking GAAP measure are not accessible or estimable at this time without unreasonable efforts. The reconciling items in future periods could be significant. Investor Presentation 42 4/28/2024

Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Leverage Ratio): Leverage Ratio is calculated as total debt, defined as long-term debt excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, divided by Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) for the most recently completed 12-month period. The Company has provided a forward-looking Leverage Ratio estimate; however, SilverBow is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because the items necessary to estimate such forward-looking GAAP measure are not accessible or estimable at this time without unreasonable efforts. The reconciling items in future periods could be significant. PV-10: PV-10 is a non-GAAP measure that represents the estimated future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving effect to income taxes. PV-10 is most comparable to the Standardized Measure which represents the discounted future net cash flows of the after-tax estimated future cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent, determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses non-GAAP PV-10 value as one measure of the value of its estimated proved reserves and to compare relative values of proved reserves amount exploration and production companies without regard to income taxes. Management believes PV-10 value is a useful measure for comparison of proved reserve values among companies because, unlike standardized measure, it excludes future income taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location and quality of the reserves themselves. The Company has provided a PV-10 estimate; however, SilverBow is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the items necessary to estimate such GAAP measure are not accessible or estimable at this time without unreasonable efforts. The reconciling items in future periods could be significant. Reinvestment Rate: Reinvestment rate is defined as capital expenditures divided by the sum of capital expenditures and FCF (defined above) for a given time period. SilverBow believes that reinvestment rate is useful to investors because it reflects the magnitude of capital needed to be invested back into the Company’s operations, relative to the total potential cash flow to which stakeholders could have received. Within the oil and gas industry, shale development typically requires substantial, ongoing capital investments to sustain production due to the nature of high-decline rates in shale wells. SilverBow uses reinvestment rate to supplement its analysis of future capital investments to the business against returns for stakeholders. Reinvestment rate could vary in definition from company to company, and a higher or lower measure does not necessarily indicate better or worse; therefore reinvestment rate should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.
