MILLER ENERGY ANNOUNCES TIMING FOR REPORTING ITS FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

HOUSTON, TX-(July 14, 2015) - Miller Energy Resources, Inc. (NYSE: MILL) (“Miller Energy” or the “Company”) announced today that it expects to file its Form 10-K for full fiscal year 2015 on Wednesday, July 29, 2015.

The Company has chosen to avail itself of the fifteen-day extension afforded by filing Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Miller Energy’s management believes the extension is required to complete its accounting in light of, among other factors, the substantial drop in oil prices, drilling results during the year and the Company’s on-going capital repositioning process. In addition to those issues, management believes that, due to the constraining structure of the Company’s current debt, its continued capital repositioning process as well as potential factors not under the Company’s control, there is, from an accounting perspective, substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Because of these circumstances, the Company is undertaking an asset impairment analysis on certain of its assets. This additional work has delayed completion of the Company’s income tax provision and its year-end financial statements.

The Company will also host a conference call and webcast at 9:00 am ET on Wednesday, July 29, 2015. On the call, management will provide a comprehensive shareholder update, including the status of the Company’s capital repositioning process. Management remains confident that the Company’s opportunities going-forward will enable it to overcome any current financial difficulties and intends to disclose appropriate details of the Company’s future plans. Management will also discuss Miller Energy’s financial and operational results for the full-year and the three months ended April 30, 2015.
