  •  

Achieved U.S. production of 272,000 BOE per day and record Permian Basin production of 222,000 BOE per day, up 31 percent and 38 percent over third-quarter 2017, respectively;

 

  •  

Delivered strong cash flow from operations of $1 billion, with nearly 70 percent of reported oil production receiving Brent or Gulf Coast-linked pricing;

 

  •  

Expecting strong fourth-quarter adjusted production volume growth of 20,000 BOE per day, approximately half of which will come from oil; raising full-year 2018 U.S. production guidance to 262,000 BOE per day;

 

  •  

Altus Midstream Company transaction to close in November 2018, which is expected to fund fourth quarter 2018 and future Alpine High midstream expenditures;

 

  •  

Anticipate 2019 production at the high-end of previously announced guidance of 410,000 to 440,000 BOE per day on an annual upstream capital program of $3 billion; and

 

  •  

Resumed share buyback program during the third quarter; announced additional share repurchase authorization of 40 million shares.

HOUSTON, Oct. 31, 2018 – Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) today announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2018.

Apache reported earnings of $81 million or $0.21 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2018. These results include a number of items outside of core earnings that are typically excluded by the investment community in their published earnings estimates, the most significant of which was a $75 million after tax loss incurred as a result of the bond tender exercise. When adjusted for this and other smaller items that impact the comparability of results, Apache’s third-quarter earnings were $244 million or $0.63 per share. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter was $1 billion. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and exploration expenses (adjusted EBITDAX) was $1.4 billion.

“Apache continued our strong performance in the third quarter of 2018, delivering 31 percent growth in U.S. production year over year. The Permian Basin continues to be the key driver, with oil production up 16 percent and total production up 38 percent year over year. Our significant Brent and LLS oil price leverage and robust NGL realizations, combined with this production performance, resulted in impressive earnings and cash flow growth. Our positive production trends will continue in the fourth quarter, prompting us to again raise our full-year 2018 U.S. production guidance,” said John J. Christmann IV, Apache’s chief executive officer and president.

“During the third quarter, we also achieved a very important objective with the announcement of our Altus Midstream transaction. This will establish an entity capable of funding future midstream investment needs at Alpine High. Importantly, the deal will allow Apache to maintain control of the midstream buildout as we ramp up production at Alpine High,” continued Christmann.    

Third-quarter operational summary     

Highlights from the company’s three principal areas include:

 

  •  

United States – U.S. production averaged 272,000 BOE per day. The company averaged 18 rigs and drilled and completed 47 gross-operated wells.

  •  

Permian Basin – Third-quarter production in the Permian Basin averaged 222,000 BOE per day, with total production up 38 percent and oil up 16 percent year over year. This growth reflects the ongoing development of Wolfcamp oil zones in the Midland and Delaware basins and the continued ramp up at Alpine High. The company averaged 18 rigs and five frac crews in the Permian Basin during the quarter and drilled and completed 47 gross-operated wells.

 

  •  

Midland Basin – Activity continues to focus on pad development in the Wolfcamp formation. During the quarter, the company drilled and completed 11 gross-operated wells and added one rig to optimize its rig-to-frac crew ratio. Contribution to oil growth from this addition will begin during the fourth quarter and continue into 2019.

 

  •  

Delaware Basin – Apache’s activity in the Delaware Basin currently includes operations in Alpine High, Dixieland, and Pecos Bend in Reeves County and the slope play in southeast New Mexico.

At Alpine High, production in the third quarter averaged 49,000 BOE per day, a 52-percent increase over the second quarter of 2018. During the quarter, the company drilled and completed 23 gross-operated wells. Well costs and lease operating costs in the play continue to come down in-line with expectations despite upward pressure on service costs.

  •  

Egypt – Apache averaged 12 rigs during the quarter and drilled and completed 24 gross-operated wells with an 83-percent success rate. Adjusted production in Egypt, which excludes minority interest and the impact of tax barrels, averaged 78,000 BOE per day. The company has acquired approximately 1 million acres to date of a planned 2.6 million-acre seismic shoot. During the quarter, Apache initiated the next phase of the program in our new Northwest Razzak concession.

 

  •  

North Sea – Apache averaged three rigs during the quarter and produced 51,000 BOE per day, which was down slightly from the second quarter due to scheduled turnaround maintenance. Production is expected to increase in the fourth quarter, as the company brought its fourth development well online in the Callater field in September and plans to accelerate initial production at Garten from first-quarter 2019 to fourth-quarter 2018, only seven months after its discovery.

Financial liquidity update

During the quarter, the company restructured its debt portfolio with a tender offer and a new $1 billion 10-year, senior-debt offering. Proceeds from the new note offering were used to refinance existing debt and resulted in an extension of the debt maturity profile and a reduction in the average cost of debt.

The company also reinitiated share repurchase activity under an existing authorization which had 7.8 million shares remaining as of June 30, 2018. 924,000 shares were repurchased under this authorization in the third quarter and repurchases continue in the fourth quarter. Apache’s board of directors recently authorized an additional 40 million share-repurchase program.

Capital and production outlook

Upstream oil and gas investment was $844 million in the third quarter, which included $48 million for incremental leasehold acquisition and retention. Apache also invested $122 million for Alpine High midstream activity. Effective Oct. 1, 2018, Alpine High midstream infrastructure will be funded by Altus Midstream Company following the closing of the transaction which is expected in November 2018.

Apache anticipates upstream capital investment of approximately $800 million in the fourth quarter, which includes $65 million for leasehold acquisition and retention, bringing the expected 2018 upstream total budget to approximately $3.1 billion. Strong execution and well performance in the third quarter are prompting the company to raise its 2018 U.S. production guidance to 262,000 BOE per day. Adjusted international production guidance for 2018 is now 133,000 BOE per day.

In 2019, Apache is planning a $3 billion annual capital program, which will enable the company to maintain its current activity levels. The company expects 2019 production levels at the high-end of previously announced 2019 guidance of 410,000 to 440,000 BOE per day.

Details on additional financial and operational guidance can be found in the Third-Quarter 2018 Financial and Operational Supplement at www.apachecorp.com/financialdata.

“During the third quarter, we increased activity to optimize drilling and completions and improve efficiencies through longer laterals, larger fracs and facility expansions. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we expect our upstream capital spending to be in line with levels we have maintained for more than a year.

“As we head into 2019, we are well positioned to generate sustainable liquids production growth and positive free cash flow, while maintaining flexibility to respond quickly to changing industry conditions,” concluded Christmann.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Apache’s financial information includes information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as well as non-GAAP information. It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our consolidated financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings, cash flow from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities, oil and gas capital investment, adjusted EBITDAX and net debt are non-GAAP measures. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Forward-looking statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “will,” and similar references to future periods. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future plans, expectations and objectives

APACHE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD-QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS — PAGE 8 of 9

 

for Apache’s operations, including statements about our capital plans, drilling plans, production expectations, asset sales, and monetizations. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See “Risk Factors” in our 2017 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of risk factors that affect our business. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Cautionary note to investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable, and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. Apache may use certain terms in this earnings release, such as “resources,” “potential resources,” “resource potential,” “estimated net reserves,” “recoverable reserves,” and other similar terms that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit Apache from including in filings with the SEC. Such terms do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration

APACHE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD-QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS — PAGE 9 of 9

 

success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future resource recovery and should not be relied upon. Investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in Apache’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2017, available from Apache at www.apachecorp.com or by writing Apache at: 2000 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 100, Houston, TX 77056 (Attn: Corporate Secretary).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In millions, except per share data)

Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDAX

Management believes EBITDAX, or earnings before income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and exploration expense is a widely accepted financial indicator, and useful for investors, to assess a company’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions to shareholders. We define adjusted EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDAX adjusted for certain items presented in the accompanying reconciliation. Management uses adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate our ability to fund our capital expenditures, debt services and other operational requirements and to compare our results from period to period by eliminating the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going operations. Management also believes adjusted EBITDAX facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing EBITDAX from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain operating expenses that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of income attributable to common stock to adjusted earnings

Our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures because they exclude the effect of certain items included in Income Attributable to Common Stock. Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing the Company’s operational trends and comparability of results to our peers.

Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted earnings may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and asset sales and other divestitures, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of Debt to Net debt

Net debt, or outstanding debt obligations less cash and cash equivalents, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses net debt as a measure of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Reconciliation of Costs incurred and GTP capital investments to Oil and gas capital investment

Management believes the presentation of oil and gas capital investments is useful for investors to assess Apache’s expenditures related to our oil and gas capital activity. We define oil and gas capital investments as costs incurred for oil and gas activities and GTP activities, adjusted to exclude asset retirement obligations revisions and liabilities incurred, while including amounts paid during the period for abandonment and decommissioning expenditures. Capital expenditures attributable to a one-third noncontrolling interest in Egypt are also excluded. Management believes this provides a more accurate reflection of Apache’s cash expenditures related to oil and gas capital activity and is consistent with how we plan our capital budget.

Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities

Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities is a non-GAAP financial measure. Apache uses it internally and provides the information because management believes it is useful for investors and widely accepted by those following the oil and gas industry as a financial indicator of a company’s ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt. It is also used by research analysts to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and is frequently included in published research when providing investment recommendations. Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities, therefore, is an additional measure of liquidity but is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
