Callon Petroleum Company Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results

HOUSTON, TX (November 3, 2021) - Callon Petroleum Company (NYSE: CPE) (“Callon” or the “Company”) today reported results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Presentation slides accompanying this earnings release are available on the Company’s website at www.callon.com located on the “Presentations” page within the Investors section of the site.

Third Quarter 2021 and Recent Highlights

•Delivered production of approximately 99.7 MBoe/d (64% oil) in the third quarter of 2021

•Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $294.6 million and adjusted free cash flow1 of $119.5 million

•Net income of $171.9 million, or $3.65 per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA1 of $292.2 million, and adjusted income1 of $137.9 million, or $2.93 per diluted share

•Achieved an operating margin of $45.16 per Boe, a 20% increase from the previous quarter

•Finalized the acquisition of Delaware Basin assets from Primexx, significantly increasing operating cash flow and accelerating the projected timeline for corporate deleveraging

•Entered into agreements to divest non-core assets for cash consideration of approximately $170 million, bringing estimated gross asset sales proceeds to approximately $210 million for the year

•Completed the fall redetermination for Callon’s credit facility with the borrowing base and elected commitment maintained at $1.6 billion

•Obtained shareholder approval for the conversion of $197 million of second lien debt into common shares, lowering net debt outstanding and reducing Callon’s future interest burden by nearly $20 million annually

Joe Gatto, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our third quarter performance demonstrates Callon’s continued commitment to operational excellence, balance sheet strength and delivering on our promises to shareholders. Our development program and financial results reflect both strong well performance and resilient capital efficiency. The team has been able to mitigate the majority of the inflationary pressures we have seen throughout the year which has bolstered our top-tier operating margins. The recent rise in commodity prices has been a welcome surprise and has enhanced our free cash flow generation, increasing our estimates for 2021 to over $250 million. This increase to bottom line cash flow will be dedicated to our deleveraging efforts and provides a clear path for Callon to reach our target debt metrics and absolute debt levels much sooner than originally anticipated, opening the door for meaningful discussions regarding shareholder return strategies in the future.”

He continued, “Our acquisition of the Primexx assets, coupled with multiple non-core divestitures, has not only improved our balance sheet, but will also allow us to expand our scaled model of life-of-field development in our core areas that will preserve long-term inventory quality. With an acreage position of over 186,000 net acres, our future development plans will be primarily focused on our Permian asset base, building upon the efficiency of current operations and delivering synergies from deployment of operational best practices. We have made significant progress integrating the acquired assets into our near-term activity and look forward to sharing more details about our 2022 plans for the broader Company in the coming months.”

Credit Facility and Liquidity

On November 1, 2021, Callon completed the fall redetermination for its senior secured credit facility. The borrowing base and elected commitment were both reaffirmed at $1.6 billion. As of September 30, 2021, the drawn balance on the facility was $723.0 million and cash balances were $3.7 million. The company expects to continue applying organic free cash flow and divestiture proceeds towards repayment of the credit facility balance.

Close of Primexx Acquisition, Conversion of Second Lien Notes, and Additional Sale of Non-Core Assets

On October 1, 2021, Callon completed the acquisition of leasehold interests and related infrastructure from Primexx Energy Partners and its affiliates. At closing, Callon paid an adjusted purchase price of $453.7 million in cash and 8.84 million shares of common stock, subject to post-closing adjustments.

On November 3, 2021, shareholders voted to authorize the issuance of approximately 5.5 million shares of common stock to Chambers Investments, LLC, a private investment vehicle managed by Kimmeridge Energy, as part of the conversion of just under $200 million of our second lien notes. This conversion eliminates nearly $20 million of future annual interest payments and is expected to close on November 5, 2021.

The Company recently entered into an agreement to sell certain non-core Midland Basin assets for approximately $38 million. The assets include approximately 1,150 net acres located in central Howard County and a single section in Midland County. Current average daily production for these assets is approximately 900 Boe per day (48% oil).

Additionally, Callon entered into an agreement to divest certain non-core water infrastructure assets for $30 million in upfront cash proceeds and potential earnout payments of up to $18 million. Callon’s broader water infrastructure footprint of 14 saltwater disposal wells with approximately 325,000 barrels per day of capacity, associated gathering lines and 140,000 barrels per day of recycling capacity are not impacted by the transaction.

The previously announced divestiture of Eagle Ford properties in northern La Salle and Frio counties for $100 million is expected to close in mid-November.

Scotiabank served as financial advisor to the Company for the water transaction, Wells Fargo Securities LLC for the Eagle Ford sale and TenOaks Energy Advisors, LLC for the Midland divestiture.

Callon Operations Update

At September 30, 2021, Callon had 1,562 gross (1,382.8 net) wells producing from established flow units in the Permian and Eagle Ford. Net daily production for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 99.7 MBoe/d (64% oil).

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Callon drilled 15 gross (13.5 net) wells and placed a combined 26 gross (23.6 net) wells on production. Wells placed on production during the quarter were completed in the Eagle Ford in South Texas, the Delaware Basin and the Midland Basin.

Third quarter completion activity was focused primarily in the Permian Basin, with approximately 75% of the new wells placed on production coming from larger projects in both the Delaware Basin and Midland Basin. Within the Midland Basin, multi-well projects in Howard County targeted multi-zone development of the Wolfcamp A and Lower Spraberry. In the Delaware Basin, a four-well project targeting Third Bone Spring and Lower Wolfcamp A zones was brought online in September and has exceeded production expectations. As part of the optimization of producing assets, Callon continues to convert gas lift systems to electric submersible pumps, positively impacting the production profile of the existing asset base across the Delaware position.

In the Eagle Ford, Callon turned one two-well pad and a separate four-well project to production in July and August, respectively. All six wells are producing as expected. During the quarter, the Company expanded its electrification efforts in the area, advancing sustainability initiatives and improving productivity. The project has resulted in the removal of another 25 generators, providing a cleaner and more reliable source of energy for field operations. Altogether, these efforts are expected to save approximately $1.5 million annually in lease operating expenses. Additional field electrification efforts are progressing and are expected to be completed by year-end.

Primexx Asset Updates

During the third quarter, Primexx placed 12 gross wells on production with eight wells achieving first production in July and the remaining four wells coming online during late August. These wells have demonstrated a high level of productivity, averaging peak oil rates of more than 1,200 barrels per day. Callon recently placed on production a three-well pad that was drilled and completed by Primexx. Through the first 20 days of production, all three wells are performing ahead of the Callon type curve for the area with peak production yet to be reached. There are no additional wells on the acquired acreage that are expected to be placed on production in the fourth quarter of 2021 as Callon builds an operational well inventory that will facilitate a transition to a larger scale development model going forward.

Fourth Quarter Activity Outlook

Callon is currently running six rigs across the combined acreage position with approximately 1.5 completion crews scheduled for the fourth quarter. Completion activity during the quarter will be spread across the Midland and legacy Delaware positions, moving to the acquired Delaware acreage towards year end. Drilling activity is currently ongoing with four rigs in the Delaware Basin, one rig in the Eagle Ford and one rig in the Midland Basin.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Callon incurred $115.0 million in operational capital expenditures on an accrual basis. Total capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized expenses, are detailed below on an accrual and cash basis:

Revenue.For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, Callon reported revenue of $503.9 million, which excluded revenue from sales of commodities purchased from a third party of $48.7 million. Revenues including the gain or loss from the settlement of derivative

contracts (“Adjusted Total Revenue”1) were $392.9 million, reflecting the impact of a $111.0 million loss from the settlement of derivative contracts. Average daily production for the quarter was 99.7 MBoe/d, compared to average daily production of 89.0 MBoe/d in the second quarter of 2021. Average realized prices, including and excluding the effects of hedging, are detailed above.

Commodity Derivatives. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the net loss on commodity derivative contracts includes the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Loss on oil derivatives	$67,198
Loss on natural gas derivatives	33,026
Loss on NGL derivatives	10,242
Loss on commodity derivative contracts	$110,466

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the cash paid for commodity derivative settlements includes the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Cash paid on oil derivatives	($98,752)
Cash paid on natural gas derivatives	(9,592)
Cash paid on NGL derivatives	(2,463)
Cash paid for commodity derivative settlements, net	($110,807)

Lease Operating Expenses, including workover (“LOE”).LOE per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $4.66 per Boe, compared to LOE of $5.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in LOE per Boe was primarily due to the distribution of fixed costs spread over higher production volumes as well as a reduction in certain operating expenses such as saltwater disposal and compression.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021 represented approximately 5.2% of total revenue excluding revenue from sales of commodities purchased from a third-party and before the impact of derivative settlements.

Gathering, Transportation and Processing. Gathering, transportation and processing for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $20.9 million, or $2.28 per Boe, as compared to $20.0 million, or $2.47 per Boe in the second quarter of 2021. This increase is related to the 13% increase in production volumes between the two periods.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”).DD&A for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $9.80 per Boe compared to $10.27 per Boe in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in DD&A per Boe was primarily attributable to a larger percentage increase in production as compared to the depletion rate of our proved reserves from the second quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2021.

General and Administrative Expense (“G&A”).G&A for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was $9.5 million, or $1.04 per Boe, and $11.1 million, or $1.37 per Boe, respectively. G&A, excluding certain non-cash incentive share-based compensation valuation adjustments, (“Adjusted G&A”1) was $12.0 million, or $1.31 per Boe, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $7.5 million, or $0.93 per Boe, for the second quarter of 2021. The cash component of Adjusted G&A increased to $10.4 million, or $1.13 per Boe, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $5.8 million, or $0.71 per Boe, for the second quarter of 2021 primarily as a result of higher compensation costs during the quarter.

The following table reconciles total G&A to Adjusted G&A - cash component and full cash G&A (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2021	June 30, 2021	September 30, 2020
Total G&A	$9,503	$11,065	$8,224
Change in the fair value of liability share-based awards (non-cash)	2,492	(3,555)	1,582
Adjusted G&A – total	11,995	7,510	9,806
Equity-settled, share-based compensation (non-cash) and other non-recurring expenses	(1,589)	(1,724)	(1,674)
Adjusted G&A – cash component	$10,406	$5,786	$8,132
Capitalized cash G&A	9,034	7,404	6,831
Full cash G&A	$19,440	$13,190	$14,963

Income Tax. Callon provides for income taxes at the statutory rate of 21% adjusted for permanent differences expected to be realized. We recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million compared to income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Since the second quarter of 2020, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized and have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. As long as we continue to conclude that the valuation allowance is necessary, we will not have significant deferred tax expense or benefit.

Adjusted EBITDA. Net income was $171.9 million and adjusted EBITDA was $292.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to net loss of $11.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $196.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an increase in revenues.

Adjusted Income and Adjusted EBITDA.The following tables reconcile the Company’s net income (loss) to adjusted income and adjusted EBITDA:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release refers to non-GAAP financial measures such as “adjusted free cash flow,” “adjusted discretionary cash flow,” “adjusted G&A,” “full cash G&A,” “adjusted income,” “adjusted income per diluted share,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and “adjusted total revenue.” These measures, detailed below, are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and posted on our website.

•Adjusted free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP measure that is defined by the Company as adjusted EBITDA less operational capital, cash capitalized interest, net cash interest expense and capitalized cash G&A (which excludes capitalized expense related to share-based awards). We believe adjusted free cash flow is a comparable metric against other companies in the industry and is a widely accepted financial indicator of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash for the use of internally funding their capital development program and to service or incur debt. Adjusted free cash flow is not a measure of a company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities, or as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income (loss).

•Adjusted discretionary cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP measure that Callon believes is a comparable metric against other companies in the industry and is a widely accepted financial indicator of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash for the use of internally funding their capital development program and to service or incur debt. Adjusted discretionary cash flow is defined by Callon as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital and merger, integration and transaction expenses. Callon has included this information because changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements, which the Company may not control and the cash flow effect may not be reflected the period in which the operating activities occurred. Adjusted discretionary cash flow is not a measure of a company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities, or as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income (loss).

•Adjusted G&A is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain non-cash incentive share-based compensation valuation adjustments. Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of adjusted G&A is useful to investors because it provides a meaningful measure of our recurring G&A expense and provides for greater comparability period-over-period.

•Full cash G&A is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that Callon defines as adjusted G&A – cash component plus capitalized G&A excluding capitalized expense related to share-based awards. Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of full cash G&A is useful because it provides users with a meaningful measure of our total recurring cash G&A costs, whether expensed or capitalized, and provides for greater comparability on a period-over-period basis.

•Adjusted income and adjusted income per diluted share are supplemental non-GAAP measures that Callon believes are useful to investors because they provide readers with a meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably determined. These measures exclude the net of tax effects of these items and non-cash valuation adjustments, which are detailed in the reconciliation provided. Adjusted income and adjusted income per diluted share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that adjusted income and adjusted income per diluted share provide additional information with respect to our performance. Because adjusted income and adjusted income per diluted share exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the adjusted income and adjusted income per diluted share presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

•Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (“Adjusted Diluted WASO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure which includes the effect of potentially dilutive instruments that, under certain circumstances described below, are excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (“Diluted WASO”), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. When a net loss exists, all potentially dilutive instruments are anti-dilutive to the net loss per common share and therefore excluded from the computation of Diluted WASO. The effect of potentially dilutive instruments are included in the computation of Adjusted Diluted WASO for purposes of computing adjusted income per diluted share.

•Callon calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, (gains) losses on derivative instruments excluding net settled derivative instruments, impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, merger, integration and transaction expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, and other operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow provided by operating activities or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to our performance or ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Because adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the adjusted EBITDA presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

•Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of adjusted total revenue (which is revenue including the gain or loss from the settlement of derivative contracts) is useful to investors because it provides readers with a revenue value more comparable to

other companies who engage in price risk management activities through the use of commodity derivative instruments and reflects the results of derivative settlements with expected cash flow impacts within total revenues. See the reconciliation provided above for further details.
