PETROQUEST ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES 2001 YEAR-END AND FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS Lafayette, Louisiana - February 27, 2002 - PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PQUE) announced today net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 of $1,142,000 or $0.03 per share, as compared to fourth quarter 2000 net income of $5,239,000 or $0.17 per share. Included in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 is a tax benefit of $759,000 primarily attributable to a revision in the Company's estimated effective income tax rate. Net cash flow from operations before working capital changes for the fourth quarter of 2001 increased 26% to $8,684,000 or $0.25 per share as compared to $6,914,000 or $0.22 per share for the comparable 2000 period. For the year ended December 31, 2001, net income was $11,645,000 or $0.34 per share and net cash flow from operations before working capital changes totaled $42,317,000 or $1.23 per share. Net income and net cash flow from operations before working capital changes for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $9,924,000 or $0.35 per share, and $15,702,000 or $0.56 per share, respectively. On a thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) basis, fourth quarter 2001 production volumes equaled 4,298,000 Mcfe, a 172% increase over fourth quarter 2000 production volumes. For the year ended December 31, 2001, production volumes increased from 4,948,000 Mcfe in 2000 to 13,774,000 Mcfe or 178%. This is the result of the Company's successful drilling program, which had a 77% success rate completing 10 of 13 wells drilled in 2001. Oil and gas sales during the fourth quarter of 2001 increased 33% to $12,420,000 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, sales increased 147% to $54,967,000 from $22,267,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase in sales is the result of the significant production increases discussed above partially offset by lower product prices. Stated on a Mcfe basis, unit prices received during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2001 were 51% and 11% lower, respectively, than the prices received during the comparable 2000 periods. All-inclusive cash costs (lease operating expenses, production taxes, general and administrative expense and cash interest expense) for the fourth quarter of 2001 decreased to $.87 per Mcfe from $1.67 per Mcfe in the comparable period of 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, all-inclusive cash costs were $.94 per Mcfe representing a 34% decrease from the $1.43 per Mcfe for the previous year. "2001 was a significant growth year for PetroQuest. Production, revenue, cash flow and net income all had considerable increases," said Charles Goodson, PetroQuest's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our budget for capital expenditures for 2002 is in the $45-$50 million range to be funded from cash flow, our credit facility and our recently completed equity offering. This budget will expose the Company to between 250 and 300 Bcfe in net unrisked reserve potential. We expect this aggressive drilling program to allow continued growth in 2002." The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the oil and gas operations of the Company for the three-month periods and years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.
