ARO: asset retirement obligation.

Bbl or Bbls: barrel or barrels of oil or natural gas liquids.

BOE: barrel of oil equivalent, determined by using the ratio of one Bbl of oil or NGLs to six Mcf of gas. The ratio of one barrel of oil or NGL to six Mcf of natural gas is commonly used in the industry and represents the approximate energy equivalence of oil or NGLs to natural gas, and does not represent the economic equivalency of oil and NGLs to natural gas. The sales price of a barrel of oil or NGLs is considerably higher than the sales price of six Mcf of natural gas.

BBtu: billion Btu.

BOE/d: BOE per day.

Btu: a British thermal unit, which is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.

LIBOR: London Interbank Offered Rate.

LOE: lease operating expense.

MBbls: thousand barrels of oil.

MBOE: thousand BOE.

Mcf: thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

MMBtu: million Btu.

MMcf: million cubic feet of natural gas.

NGL or NGLs: natural gas liquids, such as ethane, propane, butanes and natural gasoline that are extracted from natural gas production streams.

NYMEX: New York Mercantile Exchange.

Oil: includes crude oil and condensate.

SEC: United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

GAAP: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States.

Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of business

Callon Petroleum Company is an independent oil and natural gas company established in 1950. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in 1994 and succeeded to the business of a publicly traded limited partnership, a joint venture with a consortium of European investors and an independent energy company partially owned by a member of current management. As used herein, the “Company,” “Callon,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Callon Petroleum Company and its predecessors and subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Callon is focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore, oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas, and more specifically, the Midland Basin. The Company’s operations to date have been predominantly focused on horizontal drilling of several prospective intervals, including multiple levels of the Wolfcamp formation. Callon has assembled a multi-year inventory of potential horizontal well locations and intends to add to this inventory through delineation drilling of emerging zones on our existing acreage and acquisition of additional locations through acreage purchases, joint ventures and asset swaps.

Basis of presentation

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts included within the Footnotes to the Financial Statements are presented in thousands, except for per share and per unit data.

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with (1) GAAP, (2) the SEC’s instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (3) Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiary, Callon Petroleum Operating Company (“CPOC”). CPOC also has subsidiaries, namely Callon Offshore Production, Inc. and Mississippi Marketing, Inc.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and all intercompany account and transaction eliminations, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods indicated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recently issued accounting policies

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The standard requires that the costs for issuing debt should appear on the balance sheet as direct reduction from the debt’s value. The guidance in ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2 – Acquisitions

On October 8, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of certain undeveloped acreage and producing oil and gas properties located in Midland, Andrews, Ector and Martin Counties, Texas (the “Central Midland Basin Acquisition”) for an aggregate cash purchase price of $210,205. The Company assumed operatorship of the properties on November 1, 2014, and acquired a 62% working interest (46.5% net revenue interest) in the Central Midland Basin Acquisition. The aggregate cash purchase price was funded with a combination of the net proceeds from an equity offering of $122,450 and a portion of the net proceeds from borrowings under a secured second lien term loan.

The Central Midland Basin Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which involves determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following purchase price allocation is based on management’s estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair values of the net assets acquired:


Oil and natural gas properties	$	91,895
Unevaluated oil and natural gas properties		118,450
Asset retirement obligations		(140)
Net assets acquired	$	210,205

The following unaudited summary pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 has been presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the Central Midland Basin Acquisition had occurred as presented, or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future periods. The pro forma financial information was prepared assuming the Central Midland Basin Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2013. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable, including revenue, lease operating expenses, production taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, accretion expense, interest expense and capitalized interest.

Note 4 – Borrowings

The Company’s borrowings consisted of the following at:


	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Principal components:
Senior secured revolving credit facility	$	75,000	$	35,000
Secured second lien term loan		300,000		300,000
Total carrying value of borrowings	$	375,000	$	335,000

Senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”)

On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to the Credit Facility with a maturity date of March 11, 2019. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is Administrative Agent, and participating lenders include Regions Bank, Citibank, N.A., Capital One, N.A., KeyBank, N.A., Whitney Bank, IberiaBank, N.A., OneWest Bank, N.A., SunTrust Bank and Royal Bank of Canada. The total notional amount available under the Credit Facility is $500,000. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may not exceed the borrowing base, which is generally reviewed on a semi-annual basis. As of June 30, 2015, the Credit Facility’s borrowing base was $250,000. The Credit Facility is secured by first preferred mortgages covering the Company’s major producing properties.

As of June 30, 2015, the balance outstanding on the Credit Facility was $75,000 with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.19%, calculated as the LIBOR plus a tiered rate ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, which is determined based on utilization of the facility. In addition, the Credit Facility carries a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the borrowing base.

Secured second lien term loan (the “Term Loan”)

On October 8, 2014, the Company entered into the Term Loan with an aggregate amount of up to $300,000 and a maturity date of October 8, 2021. The Royal Bank of Canada is Administrative Agent, and participants include several institutional lenders. The Term Loan may be prepaid at the Company’s option, subject to a prepayment premium. The prepayment amount is (i) 102% if the prepayment event occurs prior to October 8, 2015, (ii) 101% if the prepayment event occurs on or after October 8, 2015 but before October 8, 2016, and (iii) 100% for prepayments made on or after October 8, 2016. The Term Loan is secured by junior liens on properties mortgaged under the Credit Facility, subject to an intercreditor agreement. As of June 30, 2015, the balance outstanding on

Footnotes to the Financial Statements (continued)

(Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts included in the footnotes to the financial

statements are presented in thousands, except for per share and per unit data)

Table of Contents

the Term Loan was $300,000 with an interest rate of 8.5%, calculated at a rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor rate of 1.0%) plus 7.5% per annum. The Company can elect a LIBOR rate based on various tenors, and is currently incurring interest based on an underlying three-month LIBOR rate, which was last elected in July 2015.

Restrictive covenants

The Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan contain various covenants including restrictions on additional indebtedness, payment of cash dividends and maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2015.

Note 5 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices received for its production. Consequently, the Company believes it is prudent to manage the variability in cash flows on a portion of its oil and natural gas production. The Company utilizes a mix of collars, swaps, puts, calls and similar derivative financial instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices. The Company does not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Counterparty risk and offsetting

The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. While the Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis, it cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, the Company may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments under lower commodity prices while continuing to be obligated under higher commodity price contracts subject to any right of offset under the agreements. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of a derivative instrument; see Note 6 for additional information regarding fair value.

The Company executes commodity derivative contracts under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting assets against liabilities. In general, if a party to a derivative transaction incurs an event of default, as defined in the applicable agreement, the other party will have the right to demand the posting of collateral, demand a cash payment transfer or terminate the arrangement.

Financial statement presentation and settlements

Settlements of the Company’s derivative instruments are based on the difference between the contract price or prices specified in the derivative instrument and a benchmark price, such as the NYMEX price. To determine the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments, the Company utilizes present value methods that include assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. See Note 6 for additional information regarding fair value.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company records its derivative contracts at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet and records changes in fair value as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations. Cash settlements are also recorded as gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy included in GAAP gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are significant and unobservable, and these valuations have the lowest priority.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted investments. The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.

Debt. The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of floating-rate debt approximated fair value because the interest rates were variable and reflective of market rates.

Table of Contents

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:

Commodity derivative instruments. The fair value of commodity derivative instruments is derived using an income approach valuation model that utilizes market-corroborated inputs that are observable over the term of the derivative contract. The Company’s fair value calculations also incorporate an estimate of the counterparties’ default risk for derivative assets and an estimate of the Company’s default risk for derivative liabilities. The Company believes that the majority of the inputs used to calculate the commodity derivative instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy based on the wide availability of quoted market prices for similar commodity derivative contracts. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Certain of the Company’s operating agreements require that assets be restricted for abandonment obligations. Amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 as long-term restricted investments were $3,299. These assets, which primarily include short-term U.S. Government securities, are held in abandonment trusts dedicated to pay future abandonment costs for several of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties.

Note 8 – Equity Transactions

10% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”)

Holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10.0% per annum of the $50.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $5.00 per annum per share). Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. Preferred Stock dividends were $1,973 and $3,947 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not be subject to any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption. On or after May 30, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $50.00 per share in cash, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

Following a change of control, as defined in the prospectus supplement, the Company will have the option to redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part for $50.00 per share in cash, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared), to the redemption date. If the Company does not exercise its option to redeem the Preferred Stock upon a change of control, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the option to convert the Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the value of the common stock on the date of the change of control as determined under the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock. If the change of control occurred on June 30, 2015, and the Company did not exercise its right to redeem the Preferred Stock, using the closing price of $8.32 as the value of a share of common stock, each share of Preferred Stock would be convertible into approximately 6.0 shares of common stock. If the Company exercises its redemption rights relating to shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described above.

Common Stock

On March 13, 2015, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock at $6.55 per share, before underwriting discounts, and the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional shares of common stock at $6.55 per share, before underwriting discounts. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $65,546, after the underwriting discounts and estimated offering costs.

Note 9 – Other

Operating leases

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had contracts for two horizontal drilling rigs (the “Cactus 1 Rig” and “Cactus 2 Rig”). The Cactus 1 Rig was initially contracted for a term of two years in April 2012. The Cactus 2 Rig was initially contracted for a term of two years in April 2014. The Cactus 2 Rig replaced a previously contracted horizontal drilling rig, which was cancelled in March 2014. In March 2015, the Company extended the terms of its Cactus 1 Rig and Cactus 2 Rig to end in July 2018 and August 2018, respectively. The rig lease agreements include early termination provisions that obligate the Company to reduced minimum rentals pursuant to a “standby” dayrate for the term of the agreement. These payments would be reduced assuming the lessor is able to re-charter the rig and staffing personnel to another lessee.

In March 2015, the Company decided to terminate its one-year contract for a vertical rig (effective April 2015) and will be required to pay approximately $3,641 in reduced rental payments over the remainder of the lease term ending November 2015, unless the lessor is able to re-charter the rig to another lessee. This amount was recognized as rig termination fee on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had paid $1,392 of the estimated $3,641 in reduced rental payments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The following management’s discussion and analysis describes the principal factors affecting the Company’s results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and contractual cash obligations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which include additional information about our business practices, significant accounting policies, risk factors, and the transactions that underlie our financial results. Our website address is www.callon.com. All of our filings with the SEC are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file them with, or furnish them to, the SEC. Information on our website does not form part of this report on Form 10-Q.

We are an independent oil and natural gas company established in 1950. We are focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore, oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas, and more specifically, the Midland Basin. Our operating culture is centered on responsible development of hydrocarbon resources, safety and the environment, which we believe strengthens our operational performance. Our drilling activity to date has been predominantly focused on the horizontal development of several prospective intervals, including multiple levels of the Wolfcamp formation and the Lower Spraberry. We have assembled a multi-year inventory of potential horizontal well locations and intend to add to this inventory through delineation drilling of emerging zones on our existing acreage and acquisition of additional locations through acreage purchases, joint ventures and asset swaps. Our production was approximately 81% oil and 19% natural gas for the six months ended June 30, 2015. On June 30, 2015, our acreage position in the Permian Basin was approximately 18,225 net acres. The Company no longer holds an acreage position in the Northern Midland Basin after selling 40 gross and net acres around a producing well and releasing all remaining undeveloped acreage in the Northern Midland Basin in 2015.

Operational Highlights

Our production grew 80% and 88% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2014, increasing to 866 MBOE from 480 MBOE and 1,637 MBOE from 873 MBOE for the comparative three and six months periods, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of capital have been cash flows from operations, borrowings from financial institutions, the sale of debt and equity securities and asset dispositions. Our primary uses of capital have been for the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gas properties, in addition to refinancing of debt instruments. We recently completed a common stock offering to raise additional capital, and we continue to evaluate other sources of capital to complement our cash flows from operations as we pursue our long-term growth plan in the Permian Basin.

Based upon current commodity price expectations for 2015, we believe that our cash flow from operations, proceeds from our March 2015 equity offering and borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loan will be sufficient to fund our operations for 2015, including working capital requirements. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including forecasted production volumes and commodity prices. We are the operator for 100% of our remaining 2015 capital program and, as a result, the amount and timing of a substantial portion of our planned capital expenditures is largely discretionary. Accordingly, we may determine it prudent to curtail drilling and completion operations due to capital constraints or reduced returns on investment as a result of commodity price weakness.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $2.0 million compared to $0.9 million at December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and cash flow


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2015		2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	30.0	$	35.6
Net cash used in investing activities		(130.5)		(125.0)
Net cash provided by financing activities		101.6		87.5
Net change in cash	$	1.1	$	(1.9)

Operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $30.0 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $35.6 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease was predominantly attributable to a decline in oil revenues precipitated by a depressed commodity environment, offset by gains on the settlement of derivative contracts and an 80% increase in oil production. Also contributing to the decrease were increases in lease operating expenses, production taxes, interest expense, nonrecurring early retirement expenses, and payments on cash-settleable restricted stock unit awards. Production, realized prices, and operating expenses are discussed below in Results of Operations. See Notes 5 and 6 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the components of the Company’s derivative contracts and disclosures related to derivative instruments including their composition and valuation.

Investing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $130.5 million compared to $125.0 million for the same period in 2014. The $5.5 million increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a $10.8 million increase in capital expenditures, driven by the addition of the vertical rig to our drilling program in August 2014. The increase in capital expenditures was offset by a $7.2 million decrease in acquisition costs relative to the prior period. Also offsetting the increase was a $1.9 million reduction of proceeds resulting from the sale of mineral interests and equipment.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2015 include the following (in millions):


Southern Midland Basin	$	85.9
Central Midland Basin		32.1
Total operational expenditures		118.0

Capitalized general and administrative costs allocated directly to exploration and development projects		5.3
Capitalized interest		5.7
Total capitalized general and administrative and interest costs		11.0

Total operational expenditures inclusive of capitalized general and administrative and interest costs		129.0

Acquisitions		1.8
Total capital expenditures	$	130.8

Financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $101.6 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $87.5 million during the same period of 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included $65.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and a net $40.0 million of borrowings on our Credit Facility. In addition, the Company paid approximately $3.9 million in preferred stock dividends. See Note 8 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s equity offering.

2015 capital expenditures

In early February 2015, we announced an operational capital budget for 2015 in the range of $150 to $165 million, on an accrual basis. The Company subsequently updated its operational capital guidance to $160 million to $165 million, which reflects a higher level of capital cost reductions realized to date, offset by greater than expected reduction in drilling and completion cycle times and the Company’s expected funding of non-consenting partners during the year. Operational capital expenditures on an accrual basis were $102.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

We expect our 2015 horizontal drilling program will be primarily focused on program development of established Upper and Lower Wolfcamp B zones and the Lower Spraberry zones, in both the Southern and Central Midland Basin with lateral lengths ranging from approximately 5,000 feet to 10,000 feet.

In addition to the operational capital expenditures above, we budgeted a total of $17.2 million for (i) capitalized general and administrative costs and (ii) certain retained plugging and abandonment costs related to divested Gulf of Mexico shelf assets.

We are the operator for 100% of our remaining 2015 capital program and, as a result, the amount and timing of these capital expenditures are largely discretionary depending on commodity prices and other factors. We currently expect to fund our 2015 capital program through a combination of the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock discussed above, cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loan.

Oil revenue

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, oil revenues of $36.1 million decreased $1.6 million, or 4%, compared to revenues of $37.7 million for the same period of 2014. The decrease in oil revenue was primarily attributable to a 43% decrease in the average realized sales price offset by a 69% increase in production. The increase in production was primarily attributable to increased production from our Permian properties resulting from an increased number of producing wells from acquisitions and our horizontal drilling program, offset by normal and expected declines from our existing wells.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, oil revenues of $64.0 million decreased $4.6 million, or 7%, compared to revenues of $68.6 million for the same period of 2014. The decrease in oil revenue was primarily attributable to a 48% decrease in the average realized sales price offset by an 80% increase in production. The increase in production was primarily attributable to increased production from our Permian properties resulting from an increased number of producing wells from acquisitions and our horizontal drilling program, offset by normal and expected declines from our existing wells.

Natural gas revenue (including NGLs)

Natural gas revenues of $3.1 million increased $0.3 million, or 13%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.8 million for the same period of 2014. The increase primarily relates to a 140% increase in natural gas volumes and was predominantly offset by a 53% decrease in the average price realized, which fell to $2.90 per Mcf from $6.18 per Mcf, reflecting decreases in both natural gas and natural gas liquids prices. The increase in production was primarily attributable to increased production from our Permian properties resulting from an increased number of producing wells as mentioned above.

Natural gas revenues of $5.6 million increased $0.4 million, or 9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5.2 million for the same period of 2014. The increase primarily relates to a 131% increase in natural gas volumes and was predominantly offset by a 53% decrease in the average price realized, which fell to $2.99 per Mcf from $6.33 per Mcf, reflecting decreases in both natural gas and natural gas liquids prices. The increase in production was primarily attributable to increased production from our Permian properties resulting from an increased number of producing wells as mentioned above.

Lease operating expenses (“LOE”). These are daily costs incurred to extract oil and natural gas out of the ground, together with the daily costs incurred to maintain our producing properties. Such costs also include maintenance, repairs and workover expenses related to our oil and natural gas properties.

LOE for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by 51% to $6.6 million compared to $4.4 million for the same period of 2014 primarily due to the growth in Permian production and operations as a result of our acquisition efforts and horizontal drilling program. LOE per BOE was $7.59 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to LOE of $9.09 per BOE for the same period of 2014. Higher production volumes contributed to the 17% per BOE decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

LOE for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by 58% to $13.5 million compared to $8.6 million for the same period of 2014 primarily due to the growth in Permian production and operations as a result of our acquisition efforts and horizontal drilling program. LOE per BOE was $8.27 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to LOE of $9.84 per BOE for the same period of 2014. Higher production volumes contributed to the 16% per BOE decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Production taxes. Production taxes include severance and ad valorem taxes. In general, production taxes are directly related to commodity price changes; however, severance taxes are based upon current year commodity prices, whereas ad valorem taxes are based upon prior year commodity prices. Severance taxes are paid on produced oil and natural gas based on a percentage of revenues from products sold at fixed rates established by federal, state or local taxing authorities. Where available, we benefit from tax credits and exemptions in our various taxing jurisdictions. In the counties where our production is located, we are also subject to ad valorem taxes, which are generally based on the taxing jurisdictions’ valuation of our oil and gas properties.

Production taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by 30% to $3.0 million compared to $2.3 million for the same period of 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in ad valorem taxes attributable to a greater number of producing wells as a result of our acquisition efforts and horizontal drilling program. Offsetting this increase was a reduction in severance taxes as a result of the decline of oil and natural gas revenues as previously mentioned. On a per BOE basis, production taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by 28% compared to the same period of 2014.

Production taxes for the six months ended, June 30, 2015 increased by 25% to $5.2 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period of 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in ad valorem taxes attributable to a greater number of producing wells as a result of our acquisition efforts and horizontal drilling program. Offsetting this increase was a reduction in severance taxes as a

result of the decline of oil and natural gas revenues as previously mentioned. On a per BOE basis, production taxes for the six months ended, June 30, 2015 decreased by 33% compared to the same period of 2014.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”). Under the full cost accounting method, we capitalize costs within a cost center and then systematically expense those costs on a units-of-production basis based on proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities. We calculate depletion on the following types of costs: (i) all capitalized costs, other than the cost of investments in unevaluated properties, less accumulated amortization; (ii) the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves; and (iii) the estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values. Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to fifteen years.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, DD&A increased 47% to $17.6 million and 58% to $35.7 million, respectively, over the comparative periods of 2014. These increases are primarily due to production increases of 80% and 88% for the respective periods as previously discussed. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, DD&A decreased 19% per BOE to $20.31 per BOE compared to $24.96 per BOE for the same period of 2014. Similarly, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, DD&A decreased 16% per BOE to $21.80 per BOE compared to $25.80 per BOE for the same period of 2014. The decreases for both periods are attributable to our increased estimated proved reserves relative to our depreciable asset base.

General and administrative, net of amounts capitalized (“G&A”). These are costs incurred for overhead, including payroll and benefits for our corporate staff, costs of maintaining our headquarters, costs of managing our production and development operations, franchise taxes, depreciation of corporate level assets, public company costs, vesting of equity and liability awards under share-based compensation plans and related mark-to-market valuation adjustments over time, fees for audit and other professional services, and legal compliance.

G&A for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $5.8 million compared to $9.6 million for the same period of 2014. G&A expenses for the periods indicated include the following (in millions):

Accretion expense. The Company is required to record the estimated fair value of liabilities for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Interest is accreted on the present value of the ARO and reported as accretion expense within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Accretion expense related to our ARO decreased 23% and 14% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2014. Accretion expense generally correlates with the Company’s ARO, which was $4.1 million at June 30, 2015 as compared to $5.6 million at June 30, 2014. See Note 7 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s ARO.

Rig termination fee. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized $3.6 million in expense related to the early termination of the contract for its vertical rig. See Note 9 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Gain on sale of other property and equipment. During 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain specialized deep water equipment that resulted in a gain on the sale of other property and equipment of $1.1 million.

Interest expense. Interest expense incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $3.3 million compared to the same period of 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to $5.6 million in expense related to a higher outstanding debt balance in 2015 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Offsetting the increase is a $2.2 million increase in capitalized interest compared to the 2014 period, resulting from a higher average unevaluated property balance for the three months ended, June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014, and a $0.1 million decrease in interest expense related to the full redemption of our Senior Notes in April 2014.

Interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $7.2 million compared to the same period of 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to $12.9 million in expense related to a higher outstanding debt balance in 2015 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Offsetting the increase is a $4.4 million increase in capitalized interest compared to the 2014 period, resulting from a higher average unevaluated property balance for the six months ended, June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014, and a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense related to the full redemption of our Senior Notes in April 2014.

Gain on early extinguishment of debt. During April 2014, the Company completed a full redemption of the remaining $53.3 million carrying value of its outstanding Senior Notes. The carrying value included $48.5 million of principal value and $4.8 million of unamortized deferred credit. The Company recognized a net $3.2 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, comprised of the recognition of $4.8 million in deferred credit, offset by $1.6 million of redemption expenses.

Loss on derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the net loss on derivative contracts was $8.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, compared to a $4.7 million and $7.2 million net loss for the same periods of 2014, respectively. See Note 5 and 6 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the components of the Company’s derivative contracts and disclosures related to derivative instruments including their composition and valuation.

Income tax expense (benefit). The Company had an income tax benefit of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an income tax expense of $4.1 million for the same period of 2014. Similarly, the Company had an income tax benefit of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an income tax expense of $5.5 million for the same period of 2014. The change in income tax expense (benefit) is primarily related to the difference in the amount of income (loss) before income taxes between periods.

Preferred Stock dividends. Preferred Stock dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were consistent with the same periods of 2014. Dividends reflect a 10% dividend rate and $78.9 million liquidation value. See Note 8 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks including commodity price risk, interest rate risk and counterparty and customer risk. We address these risks through a program of risk management including the use of derivative instruments.

Commodity price risk

The Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of its oil and natural gas production. The prices for oil and natural gas remain extremely volatile and sometimes experience large fluctuations as a result of relatively small changes in supply, weather conditions, economic conditions and government actions. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage oil and natural gas price risk. The total volumes which we hedge through the use of our derivative instruments varies from period to period; however, generally our objective is to hedge approximately 50% to 75% of our anticipated internally forecast production for the next 12 to 24 months, subject to the covenants under our Credit Facility. Our hedge policies and objectives may change significantly with movements in commodities prices or futures prices, in addition to modification of our capital spending plans related to operational activities and acquisitions.

As of July 31, 2015, we had commodity contracts covering approximately 65% and 40% of our expected oil and natural gas production, respectively, for the combined third and fourth quarters of 2015, based on the midpoint of publicly disclosed guidance as of August 5, 2015. Our actual production will vary from the amounts estimated, perhaps materially. See Note 5 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts at June 30, 2015 and derivative contracts established subsequent to that date.

The Company may utilize fixed price swaps, which reduce the Company’s exposure to decreases in commodity prices and limit the benefit the Company might otherwise have received from any increases in commodity prices. Swap contracts may also be enhanced by the simultaneous sale of call or put options to effectively increase the effective swap price as a result of the receipt of premiums from the option sales. Additionally, the Company may sell put options or call options in conjunction with a swap and use the proceeds to increase the fixed price received.

The Company may utilize price collars to reduce the risk of changes in oil and natural gas prices. Under these arrangements, no payments are due by either party as long as the applicable market price is above the floor price (purchased put option) and below the ceiling price (sold call option) set in the collar. If the price falls below the floor, the counter-party to the collar pays the difference to the Company, and if the price rises above the ceiling, the counterparty receives the difference from the Company. Additionally, the Company may sell put options at a price lower than the floor price in conjunction with a collar (three-way collar) and use the proceeds to increase either or both the floor or ceiling prices.

The Company may purchase put options, which reduce the Company’s exposure to decreases in oil and natural gas prices while allowing realization of the full benefit from any increases in oil and natural gas prices. If the price falls below the floor, the counterparty pays the difference to the Company.

Table of Contents

The Company enters into these various agreements from time to time to reduce the effects of volatile oil and natural gas prices and does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Presently, none of the Company’s derivative positions are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its exploration and development activities. Under full cost accounting rules, the Company reviews the carrying value of its proved oil and natural gas properties each quarter. Under these rules, capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unevaluated properties, net of related tax effects (the full cost ceiling amount). These rules require pricing based on the preceding 12-months’ average oil and natural gas prices based on closing prices on the first day of each month and require a write-down if the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties exceeds the full cost ceiling. An impairment of oil and natural gas properties could result in future periods if commodity prices remain the same or continue to decline.

Interest rate risk

On June 30, 2015, the Company’s debt consisted of $300.0 million related to its Term Loan and $75.0 million related to its Credit Facility. The Company is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness under the Term Loan and Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on our Credit Facility borrowings was 2.19% and the interest rate on our Term Loan borrowings was 8.50%. An increase or decrease of 1% in the interest rate would have a corresponding increase or decrease in our annual net income of approximately $3.8 million based on the $375.0 million outstanding in the aggregate under the two facilities on June 30, 2015. The Company is also subject to market risk exposure related to changes in the underlying LIBOR-based interest rate used for the Term Loan to the extent that available LIBOR election options exceed the 1.0% floor rate. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company’s interest rates on debt.

Counterparty and customer credit risk

The Company’s principal exposures to credit risk are through receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production, joint interest receivables and receivables resulting from derivative financial contracts.

The Company markets receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production to energy marketing companies. We are subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our oil and natural gas receivables with several significant customers. We do not require any of our customers to post collateral, and the inability of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. At June 30, 2015 our receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production were approximately $25.6 million.

Joint interest receivables arise from billings to entities that own partial interests in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we have or intend to drill. We have little ability to control whether these entities will participate in our wells. At June 30, 2015 our joint interest receivables were approximately $6.6 million.

The Company’s oil and natural gas derivative arrangements expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. Most of the counterparties on our derivative instruments currently in place are lenders under our Credit Facility. We are likely to enter into additional derivative instruments with these or other lenders under our Credit Facility, representing institutions with an investment grade ratings. We have existing International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide us and the counterparties with rights of set off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either us or a counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set off all derivative liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party.
