FIRST QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Unit recorded net income of $15.9 million for the quarter, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $41.1 million, or $0.83 per share, for the first quarter of 2016. For the first quarter of 2016, Unit incurred a pre-tax non-cash ceiling test write-down of $37.8 million in the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties. Adjusted net income (which excludes the effect of non-cash commodity derivatives) for the quarter was $7.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP financial measures below). Total revenues were $175.7 million (50% oil and natural gas, 21% contract drilling, and 29% midstream), compared to $136.2 million (43% oil and natural gas, 28% contract drilling, and 29% midstream) for the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $74.5 million, or $1.46 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP financial measures below).
OIL AND NATURAL GAS SEGMENT INFORMATION
For the quarter, total production averaged 42,000 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe) per day, a decrease of 15% from the first quarter of 2016 and an 8% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2016. Liquids (oil and NGLs) production represented 46% of total equivalent production. Oil production was 7,141 barrels per day, a decrease of 19% from the first quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 8% from the fourth quarter of 2016. NGLs production was 12,190 barrels per day, a decrease of 14% from the first quarter of 2016 and a 12% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2016. Natural gas production was 135,838 thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per day, a decrease of 15% from the first quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 6% from the fourth quarter of 2016. Unit's production for the quarter was in line with its expectations. In addition to the continued production decline of existing wells, the decreases were due primarily to reduced drilling activity, approximately 0.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe) of production in the Wilcox play being shut in for five days during the quarter because of maintenance on a third-party processing plant, and approximately 0.3 Bcfe of reduced production due to weather related events. Unit’s original 2017
production guidance was 15.9 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe) to 16.4 MMBoe, a decrease of 5% to 8% year over year. Unit anticipates sequential quarterly production growth during the remainder of 2017. Because of the recently completed acquisition of oil and gas assets in Unit's Hoxbar play, production guidance for 2017 is being increased to 16.1 MMBoe to 16.7 MMBoe.
Unit’s average natural gas price was $2.68 per Mcf, an increase of 43% over the first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 13% over the fourth quarter of 2016. Unit’s average oil price was $48.68 per barrel, an increase of 50% over the first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 6% over the fourth quarter of 2016. Unit’s average NGLs price was $17.81 per barrel, a 170% increase over the first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 22% over the fourth quarter of 2016. All prices in this paragraph include the effects of derivative contracts.
In the Wilcox area, Unit continued its recompletion program in and around Gilly Field and picked up a Unit rig and started the first of four wells in mid-January. Three of these wells, which include the first exploration well in the Cherry Creek prospect, an extensional well to Gilly Field, and a development well in the Wing area just east of Gilly Field, have been drilled and completion operations will begin soon. The fourth well, a 5,800’ horizontal well in the Village Mills field, has been fracture stimulated and is currently in the early stages of flowing back the frac load. Initial test rates from the well are encouraging. Unit has released the rig to evaluate the production results of these four wells and plans to pick the rig back up in the third quarter of 2017 to drill three or four additional wells before year end.
In the Granite Wash play, Unit continued the extended lateral drilling program in its Buffalo Wallow field using a Unit rig. This drilling program is planned to continue throughout 2017. During the quarter, Unit fracture stimulated two extended lateral Granite Wash wells, one in the A-2 interval and one in the C-1 interval. The A-2 well is now on production and, while it is too early to make any conclusive statements about the performance of the well, current production rates are meeting expectations. The C-1 well has not been brought on production yet. Picking up a second rig in this area during 2017 is a possibility.
In the Southern Oklahoma Hoxbar Oil Trend (SOHOT) area, Unit completed two horizontal Marchand oil wells during the first quarter and, in late April, picked up a Unit rig and resumed drilling operations. Unit plans to drill six to seven wells within its SOHOT play with this rig during the remainder of 2017 and is considering adding a second rig in the second half of the year.
Larry Pinkston, Unit’s Chief Executive Officer and President, said: “We recently announced the completion of an acquisition of certain oil and natural gas assets including approximately 8,300 net acres primarily in Grady and Caddo Counties in western Oklahoma. The purchase price was approximately $57.0 million in cash plus 180 net acres in McClain County, Oklahoma. As of the effective date of January 1, 2017, the estimated proved reserves of the properties totaled 3.2 MMBoe, and the estimated average daily net production was approximately 1,367 Boe. This acquisition will increase our Hoxbar total core area position to approximately 28,000 net acres and increase our working interest in many sections. We plan to pick up a rig in the second quarter to continue developing the area."

CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT INFORMATION
The average number of Unit's drilling rigs working during the quarter was 25.5, an increase of 24% over the first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 31% over the fourth quarter of 2016. Per day drilling rig rates averaged $15,835, a decrease of 14% from the first quarter of 2016 and a 6% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2016. Average dayrates decreased because of the full effect of the repricing of two BOSS rig term contracts, one mid-fourth quarter and the second early first quarter. Unit reactivated eight stacked SCR rigs during the quarter at rates below its current average dayrate. Preparing the rigs to return to service carries additional startup and mobilization costs. These factors contributed to the decreased average daily operating margins during the quarter. Average per day operating margin for the quarter was $3,474 (with no elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense). This compares to first quarter 2016 average operating margin of $5,651 (with no elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense), a decrease of 39%, or $2,177. First quarter 2017 average operating margin decreased 46%, or $3,004, as compared to $6,478 for the fourth quarter of 2016 (in each case regarding eliminating intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense - see Non-GAAP financial measures below). Average operating margins for the quarter included no early termination fees from the cancellation of certain long-term contracts, compared to early termination fees of $2.6 million, or $1,410 per day, during the first quarter of 2016 and no early termination fees for the fourth quarter of 2016.
Pinkston said: “We saw a nice increase in rig utilization during the quarter. Margins were adversely impacted by long-term contract repricing, additional expenses associated with rig relocations, and general startup expenses. During the latter part of the quarter, we began to obtain some modest dayrate increases on contract renewals. Currently, all nine of our BOSS drilling rigs are operating, and we began construction of our tenth BOSS drilling rig. Improved commodity prices have led to more operator inquiries and more contracts for our drilling rigs. Our fleet totals 94 drilling rigs, of which 29 were working at the end of the quarter after rebounding from a low of 13 drilling rigs during the second quarter of 2016. Long-term contracts (contracts with original terms ranging from six months to two years in length) are in place for eight of our drilling rigs. Of the eight, seven are up for renewal during 2017 and one in 2018.”

Pinkston said: “Our midstream segment operating profit before depreciation continues to remain relatively stable on a year to year basis, despite a poor commodity price environment and reduced drilling. Fee based contract structures, along with
operating cost reductions, are contributing to these results. This segment continues to reject ethane at all processing facilities except Bellmon, which has a more attractive transportation and fractionation fee for its liquids. We successfully negotiated an agreement with a third-party operator to gather 10 MMcf per day with a five year term at our Cashion facility. We began the process to connect an additional multi-well pad to our Pittsburgh Mills gathering system in the Marcellus. The new pad connection is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2017.”
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Unit ended the quarter with long-term debt of $790.7 million (a reduction of $10.3 million from the end of 2016 and $128.3 million from the end of 2015). Long-term debt consisted of $640.7 million of senior subordinated notes net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs and $150.0 million of borrowings under its credit agreement. Recently, Unit's borrowing base was redetermined with no change to availability. Under the credit agreement, the amount Unit can borrow is the lesser of the amount it elects as the commitment amount ($475 million) or the value of its borrowing base as determined by the lenders ($475 million), but in either event not to exceed $875 million.
On April 4, 2017, Unit established an "at the market" equity offering program under which it may offer and sell, from time-to-time, up to an aggregate of $100 million for shares of its common stock through "at the market" transactions. As of April 21, 2017, Unit has sold 770,660 shares for $18.3 million, net of offering costs of $0.4 million. Approximately $81.3 million remained available for sale under the program. Unit intends to use net proceeds from the offering to fund (or offset costs of) acquisitions, future capital expenditures, repay amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility, and general corporate purposes.
