Section 2 — Financial Information
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On November 3, 2009, we issued a press release with respect to our third quarter results for 2009. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure we call “discretionary cash flow” (discussed below) that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measure “discretionary cash flow” is also included in the press release.
     In the press release, we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure we call discretionary cash flow. Management believes this measure is a financial indicator of our company’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures and service debt. Management also believes this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow is useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Many investors use the published research of these analysts in making their investment decisions. Discretionary cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP.
     In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information, including Exhibit 99.1, be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Section 7 — Regulation FD
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
     The information set forth under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated in Item 7.01 by reference.
     In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information, including Exhibit 99.1, be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Exhibit 99.1
STONE ENERGY CORPORATION
Announces Third Quarter 2009 Results
LAFAYETTE, LA. November 3, 2009
     Stone Energy Corporation (NYSE: SGY) today announced net income of $51.1 million, or $1.06 per share, on operating revenue of $202.7 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $34.1 million, or $1.04 per share, on operating revenue of $172.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Stone reported a net loss of $147.6 million, or $3.45 per share, on operating revenue of $515.1 million compared to net income of $179.2 million, or $5.97 per share, on operating revenue of $634.9 million during the comparable 2008 period. All per share amounts are on a diluted basis.
     Discretionary cash flow was $157.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $163.8 million generated during the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, discretionary cash flow totaled $339.1 million compared to $494.6 million for the comparable 2008 period. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” and the accompanying financial statements for a reconciliation of discretionary cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net cash flow provided by operating activities.
     Net daily production volumes during the third quarter of 2009 averaged 239 million cubic feet of gas equivalent (MMcfe) compared to average net daily production for the second quarter of 2009 of 209 MMcfe and average net daily production for the third quarter of 2008 of 129 MMcfe. The third quarter of 2009 included approximately 8 MMcfe per day associated with a non-recurring production adjustment relating to previous royalty relief volumes. The third quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by shut-ins from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, average net daily production volumes were approximately 214 MMcfe, or 26% higher than average net daily production volumes of approximately 170 MMcfe for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, Stone expects net daily production to average between 225 — 235 MMcfe.
     CEO David Welch stated, “We are pleased with continued progress in executing our strategic plan in the third quarter as well as year to date. Our finance team has been able to improve our liquidity and significantly strengthen our balance sheet by reducing debt $200 million, raising stockholders’ equity by $75 million and building our cash position. Our operations team delivered production near the top end of our guidance this quarter, while reducing costs as they debottlenecked platforms, optimized wells and restored substantially all of our hurricane deferred production, including the rerouting of the Amberjack oil pipeline. Our exploration team followed our Pyrenees discovery with a successful delineation well in the third quarter. We also made a traditional shelf discovery at our Cardinal prospect at Vermilion 96 which should provide production impact in 2010. Our four-well Amberjack drilling program is scheduled to commence in December as the platform rig modifications are now complete and the rig will be moving to location this week. We expect to gain further traction in exploration in 2010 with increased drilling in our Marcellus shale play in Appalachia and in the GOM deepwater.”
     Prices realized during the third quarter of 2009 averaged $77.39 per barrel (Bbl) of oil and $5.90 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas compared with third quarter 2008 average realized prices of $106.81 per Bbl of oil and $10.72 per Mcf of natural gas. Average realized prices during the first nine months of 2009 were $68.48 per Bbl of oil and $6.42 per Mcf of natural gas compared to $104.20 per Bbl of oil and $10.29 per Mcf of natural gas realized during the first nine months of 2008. All unit pricing amounts include the effects of cash settlements of effective hedging contracts. Hedging transactions during the third quarter of 2009 increased the average price we received for natural gas by $2.37 per Mcf, compared to a decrease in average realized prices of $0.07 per Mcf during the third quarter of 2008. Realized oil prices in the third quarter of 2009 increased by $10.92 per Bbl, compared to a decrease in realized oil prices of $16.89 per Bbl in the comparable quarter of 2008 as a result of hedging transactions.

 


 

Overall, hedging transactions added approximately $46.4 million to third quarter 2009 revenues, including $36.5 million recognized from the unwinding of hedges in March 2009.
     Lease operating expenses (LOE) incurred during the third quarter of 2009 totaled $28.1 million compared to $41.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $40.1 million for the comparable quarter in 2008. In the third quarter of 2009, there was approximately $12 million in downward adjustments of previously accrued major maintenance and base LOE costs as a result of actual costs being less than the previously accrued estimated amounts. During the third quarter of 2008, lease operating expenses included $6.8 million of repairs in excess of estimated insurance recoveries related to damage from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, lease operating expenses were $127.4 million and $105.3 million, respectively.
     Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) on oil and gas properties for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $67.2 million compared to $51.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. DD&A expense on oil and gas properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $181.9 million compared to $183.9 million during the same year-to-date period of 2008.
     Salaries, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses (exclusive of incentive compensation) for the third quarter of 2009 were $9.5 million compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, SG&A (exclusive of incentive compensation) totaled $31.1 million and $32.0 million, respectively.
     As previously announced on October 13, 2009, the borrowing base re-determination process was completed and the borrowing base was reaffirmed at $425 million. As of September 30, 2009, Stone had $250 million in borrowings outstanding on its credit facility and another $69 million in outstanding letters of credit, leaving $106 million available under the facility. Stone’s cash position as of September 30, 2009 was $98 million. As of October 30, 2009, borrowings outstanding were further reduced to $225 million, leaving over $131 million in availability, while the cash position was approximately $91 million.
     Capital expenditures before capitalized SG&A and interest during the third quarter of 2009 totaled $70.5 million, including $2.0 million of lease acquisition costs. The capital expenditure amount includes $33.1 million of proactive hurricane risk mitigation expenditures, primarily platform decommissioning and the plugging and abandonment of idle wells. Additionally, $4.8 million of SG&A expenses and $6.6 million of interest were capitalized during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, capital expenditures before capitalized SG&A and interest totaled $231.7 million, including $4.3 million of lease acquisition costs. The year-to-date capital expenditure amount includes $61.4 million of plugging and abandonment expenditures and $16.9 million in tubular inventory purchases made in the first quarter. Additionally, $13.5 million of SG&A expenses and $19.4 million of interest were capitalized during this year-to-date period.
Operational Update
     Stone provided an Operational Update in its October 13, 2009 press release which included updates on its Pyrenees prospect (Garden Banks Block 293), Amberjack (Mississippi Canyon 109), Cardinal/Blue Jay (Vermilion Block 96) and Appalachia. Since then, the Cardinal well has been drilled and is a discovery with the completion to follow, while the Blue Jay well is currently drilling. The platform rig for the Amberjack drilling program is schedule to move to the platform this week and initial operations are expected in early December. In Appalachia, the vertical Stang #1 and the Loomis #1wells were successfully drilled in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania and are awaiting completion. In West Virginia, six vertical wells are now awaiting completions which are scheduled for the fourth quarter.
     Stone has substantially completed its hurricane risk mitigation program which called for proactively plugging and abandoning idle wells and addressing the structural integrity of its platforms. Stone has spent approximately $55 million on this initiative this year which we believe substantially reduces Stone’s financial exposure to future hurricanes.

 


 

Updated 2009 Guidance
     Estimates for Stone’s future production volumes are based on assumptions of capital expenditure levels and the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and gas will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. The production, transportation and marketing of oil and gas are subject to disruption due to transportation and processing availability, mechanical failure, human error, hurricanes, and numerous other factors. Stone’s estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance, which may vary significantly from those assumed. Lease operating expenses, which include major maintenance costs, vary in response to changes in prices of services and materials used in the operation of our properties and the amount of maintenance activity required. Estimates of DD&A rates can vary according to reserve additions, capital expenditures, future development costs, and other factors. Therefore, we can give no assurance that our future production volumes, lease operating expenses or DD&A rate will be as estimated. The following guidance is subject to all of the cautionary statements and limitations described in this press release below, under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” The following guidance supersedes the previous guidance provided in the July 30, 2009 press release.
     Capital Expenditure Budget. The current Board authorized 2009 capital expenditure budget is $300 million, which excludes acquisitions, and capitalized interest and SG&A. Although management had earlier targeted a lesser amount of approximately $250 million to focus on liquidity, planned expenditures increased as liquidity improved, which should bring the final figure closer to the original $300 million budgeted amount.
     Production. For the fourth quarter of 2009, Stone expects net daily production to average between 225-235 MMcfe. Stone now expects its full year 2009 average daily production to be in the range of 210-220 MMcfe per day compared to its previous annual guidance of 205-225 MMcfe per day.
     Lease Operating Expenses. Stone now expects lease operating costs, excluding production taxes, to range between $160-$175 million (versus $190-$210 million previously) for 2009 based upon current operating conditions and budgeted maintenance activities.
     Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization. Stone now expects its DD&A rate to range between $3.00-$3.20 per Mcfe (versus $2.80-$3.00 per Mcfe previously) for 2009. The decrease from 2008 is due to the 2008 year-end and first quarter 2009 ceiling test write-downs, which reduced the carrying value of the full cost pool for our oil and gas properties.
     Salaries, General & Administrative Expenses. Stone now expects its SG&A expenses (excluding incentive compensation expense) to range between $40-$45 million (versus $43-$48 million previously) during 2009.
     Corporate Tax Rate. For 2009, Stone expects its corporate tax rate to be approximately 35%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     In this press release, we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure we call “discretionary cash flow.” Management believes discretionary cash flow is a financial indicator of our company’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures and service debt. Management also believes this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow is useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Discretionary cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP. Please see the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure” for a reconciliation of discretionary cash flow to cash flow provided by operating activities.

 


 

Forward Looking Statement
     Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking and are based upon Stone’s current belief as to the outcome and timing of future events. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Stone plans, expects, believes, projects, estimates or anticipates will, should or may occur in the future, including future production of oil and gas, future capital expenditures and drilling of wells and future financial or operating results are forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for oil and gas, operating risks, liquidity risks, and other risk factors and known trends and uncertainties as described in Stone’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Stone’s actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
