BURLINGTON RESOURCES REPORTS RECORD ANNUAL EARNINGS OF $1.2 BILLION AND 142 PERCENT RESERVE REPLACEMENT AT $1.19 UNIT COST HOUSTON, TEXAS, JAN. 21, 2004 -- Burlington Resources (NYSE: BR and TSX: B) today announced record quarterly earnings during the fourth quarter of 2003 of $404 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, compared to prior-year fourth-quarter earnings of $157 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. Included in these results is a benefit of $0.88 per diluted share, attributable to lower Canadian tax obligations of $203 million, which was partially offset by $30 million of after-tax charges for impairment of several small producing properties and abandonment of certain deepwater acreage. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $552 million from $376 million during the prior year's fourth quarter. Discretionary cash flow(1) was $629 million, compared to $528 million during prior year's fourth quarter. Total production during the fourth quarter of 2003 was 2,723 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfed), an 11 percent increase from 2,464 MMcfed during the prior year's fourth quarter. Natural gas production was 1,957 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), compared to 1,883 MMcfd during the prior year's quarter. Natural gas liquids production was 69.2 thousand barrels per day (Mbd), compared to 59.6 Mbd during the prior year's quarter. Oil production was 58.5 Mbd, compared to 37.3 Mbd during the prior year's quarter. Fourth-quarter 2003 price realizations for natural gas averaged $4.40 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), compared to $3.82 per Mcf during the prior year's fourth quarter. Natural gas liquids price realizations were $20.54 per barrel, compared to $16.18 per barrel during the prior year's quarter. Oil price realizations were $25.40 per barrel, compared to $25.01 per barrel during the prior year's quarter. Results for the full year of 2003 included record annual net income of $1.218 billion, or $6.08 per diluted share, compared to the previous year's $454 million, or $2.25 per diluted share. Net cash provided from operations increased to $2.539 billion, from $1.549 billion in 2002. Discretionary cash flow(1) was a record $2.597 billion, compared to the prior year's $1.538 billion. Total production in 2003 was essentially flat at 2,567 MMcfed, compared to 2,571 MMcfed the previous year, but when adjusted for property sales in 2002, volumes increased by 10 percent. Price realizations for natural gas were $4.83 per Mcf, compared to $3.20 per Mcf during 2002. Natural gas liquids price realizations were $20.40 per barrel, compared to $14.46 per barrel in 2002. Oil price realizations were $27.22 per barrel, compared to $24.11 per barrel in 2002. Burlington also announced that it has agreed to acquire interests in 10 producing fields in South Louisiana from ChevronTexaco for $71.5 million, with closing anticipated during the first quarter. The company already has a rising production base in South Louisiana, as well as 660,000 acres of mineral fee lands and numerous state leases. The additional properties currently produce about 15 MMcfed net, and a number of development opportunities have been identified. The properties are located in Burlington's core areas and overlap with its fee acreage. "Burlington had an outstanding year in 2003, both operationally and financially. We grew volumes from our high-quality asset positions and controlled our costs, thereby reaping the benefits of the strong prices," said Bobby S. Shackouls, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Meanwhile, we have completed or are approaching completion on several major development projects and looking forward to accelerating our production growth. During 2004 we expect to reach the upper end of our target of achieving 3 percent to 8 percent average annual production growth. Our objectives for 2004 include a continued focus on profitability, while turning our attention to longer-term growth initiatives for 2005 and the years beyond." Highlights for 2003 included: o BASIN EXCELLENCE(SM) - Burlington's core assets performed well. Adjusted for production from properties divested in 2002, volumes rose 10 percent during 2003. This included increases of 8 percent in Canada and 5 percent in the U.S. Burlington attributes this performance to its Basin Excellence(SM) concept, which concentrates operations in roughly a dozen high-potential core areas where the company holds significant competitive advantages. o CONTINUED LOW RESERVE REPLACEMENT COSTS - Burlington's average reserve replacement cost during 2003 was $1.19 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Mcfe) including acquisitions, which, despite continuing industry service cost inflation and considerable expenditures to develop previously booked reserves, is in line with the three-year average of $1.18 per Mcfe achieved from 2000 through 2002. Excluding acquisitions, the 2003 replacement cost was $1.23 per Mcfe. o RIGOROUS COST CONTROL - Unit production and processing costs as well as administrative costs were essentially flat from 2002 to 2003. Burlington continues benefiting from acquisitions of lower-cost assets and the sale of higher-cost assets, and from a global purchasing initiative that is generating significant savings and improving capital efficiency by mitigating rising industry service costs. o MOMENTUM ON INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS - Production from international operations increased to 13 percent of total volumes during the fourth quarter, an all-time high. During 2003, oil production began from the Burlington-operated MLN and satellite -2- fields in Algeria. The company should benefit from a full year of production from these fields in 2004. In late 2003, oil production began from the partner-operated Bootes and Ursa fields offshore China and the Yuralpa Field in Ecuador, and these fields are expected to increase production during 2004. In addition, Burlington anticipates the start-up of gas production from the Rivers Fields in the East Irish Sea in the first half of 2004. o VALUE-ADDED ACQUISITIONS - Property acquisitions in the San Juan and Fort Worth basins in the U.S., in Canada, in the Dutch North Sea and elsewhere totaled $228 million and added 228 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) in proved reserves, at an average cost of $1.00 per Mcfe. All the acquisitions strengthened Burlington's presence in core operating areas. o HEIGHTENED FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY - Total debt to total capitalization declined to 41 percent in 2003, from 51 percent the year before. In addition, net debt to total capitalization(1) declined to 36 percent at year-end, from 48 percent a year ago. High net income, debt repayments of $75 million and favorable currency exchange translation adjustments accounted for the stronger balance sheet position. The company's balance sheet included approximately $757 million in cash and cash equivalents at year-end 2003, compared to $443 million at the end of 2002. o SHARE REPURCHASES AND INCREASED DIVIDENDS - The company repurchased approximately 7.4 million shares of its common stock during 2003 for a total of $361 million, or an average price of $48.63 per share. As of year-end, approximately $762 million remains in the current share repurchase authorization. In addition, Burlington's ordinary share dividend was increased by 9.1 percent in 2003. o FAVORABLE INVESTMENT RETURNS - Burlington's return on capital employed(1) more than doubled to 17.9 percent during 2003, compared to 2002. In addition, total shareholder return was 31.3 percent. RESERVES UPDATE Total reserves at year-end increased to 11.8 trillion cubic feet equivalent (Tcfe), up about 3 percent from 11.4 Tcfe the year before. Burlington replaced 142 percent of its 2003 worldwide production from all sources. Excluding acquisitions, the replacement rate was 118 percent. Worldwide reserve additions from all sources totaled 1,426 Bcfe. Extensions, discoveries and additions totaled 1,107 Bcfe including revisions. Acquisitions added 228 Bcfe, primarily in the San Juan Basin, the Fort Worth Basin and the Dutch North Sea. 2004 OUTLOOK Production - Burlington expects volumes to rise during 2004 as a result of anticipated increases in North American oil and gas production and in international oil and gas production.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURE (a) DISCRETIONARY CASH FLOW ($ IN MILLIONS) Below is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to discretionary cash flow.
Twelve Months Fourth Quarter ------------------ ----------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net cash provided by operating activities $ 2,539 $ 1,549 $ 552 $ 376 Adjustments: Working capital 80 (45) 59 126 Changes in other assets and liabilities (22) 34 18 26 ------- ------- ------- ------- Discretionary cash flow $ 2,597 $ 1,538 $ 629 $ 528 ======= ======= ======= =======
(a) GAAP - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management believes that the non-GAAP measure of discretionary cash flow is useful information for investors because it is used internally and accepted by the investment community as a means of measuring the company's ability to fund its capital and dividend programs and to service its debt. Discretionary cash flow is also useful because it is widely used by professional research analysts in valuing, comparing ratings and providing investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Many investors use this published research in making investment decisions. -6- BURLINGTON RESOURCES INC. RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURE (a) NET DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITAL RATIO ($ IN MILLIONS) Below is a reconciliation of debt to total capital ratio to net debt to total capital ratio.
December 31, 2003 -------- Total debt $ 3,873 Stockholders' equity 5,531 -------- Total capital $ 9,404 ======== Total debt $ 3,873 Adjustment: Less: Cash and cash equivalents 757 -------- Net debt $ 3,116 ======== Net debt $ 3,116 Stockholders' equity 5,531 -------- Total adjusted capital $ 8,647 ======== Debt to total capital ratio 41% Adjustment: Less: Impact of cash and cash equivalents 5% -------- Net debt to total capital ratio 36% ========
(a) GAAP - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Total debt to total capital ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by total debt plus stockholders' equity. Management believes that total debt to total capital ratio is useful to investors because it is helpful in determining a company's leverage. Management also believes that since it has the ability to and may elect to use a portion of cash and cash equivalents to retire debt or incur additional expenditures without increasing debt, it is appropriate to apply cash and cash equivalents to debt in calculating net debt to capital (Non-GAAP). -7- BURLINGTON RESOURCES INC. RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURE (a) RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED (ROCE) ($ IN MILLIONS) Net Income - 2003 $ 1,218 Add: Interest expense after tax 211 -------- Earnings before after-tax interest expense $ 1,429 ========
December December 31, 2003 31, 2002 -------- -------- Total debt (GAAP) $ 3,873 $ 3,916 Less: Cash and cash equivalents 757 443 -------- -------- Net debt (Non-GAAP) 3,116 3,473 Stockholders' equity 5,531 3,832 -------- -------- Total adjusted capital 8,647 7,305 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 757 443 -------- -------- Total Capital $ 9,404 $ 7,748 ======== ======== ROCE (GAAP) 16.7% Impact of cash and cash equivalents 1.2% -------- ROCE (Non-GAAP) 17.9% ========
(a) GAAP - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ROCE is defined as net income plus after-tax interest expense divided by average capital (total debt plus stockholders' equity). Above is a reconciliation of ROCE calculated using net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) in the average capital calculation (considered Non-GAAP) compared to ROCE calculated using total debt in the average capital calculation. (Note: interest expense is taxed based on the company's effective tax rate.) Management believes that ROCE is a useful measure because it indicates the return on all capital, which includes equity and debt, employed in the business. Since management has the ability to and may elect to use a portion of the cash and cash equivalents to retire debt, the debt balance has been reduced for cash and cash equivalents. Management also believes that ROCE is an additional measure of efficiency when considered in conjunction with return on equity which measures the return on only the shareholders' equity component of total capital employed. -8- BURLINGTON RESOURCES INC.
