Memorial Production Partners LP (NASDAQ:MEMP) (“MEMP” or “the
Partnership”) announced today its operating and financial results
for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Key Highlights
- Average daily production of 213.8 MMcfe/d for the third quarter
of 2016
- Lease operating expenses of $1.61 per Mcfe, or $31.6 million,
in the third quarter of 2016
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $43.2 million for
the third quarter of 2016
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $76.9 million for the third quarter of
2016
- Strong commodity hedge portfolio with 92% of current expected
total production hedged in 2016, 81% in 2017, 74% in 2018 and 57%
in 2019
- Mark-to-market hedge book value of approximately $435 million
as of October 28, 2016
Bill Scarff, President and Chief Executive
Officer of MEMP GP, stated, “We delivered a strong operational
quarter driven by production coming in higher than expected and
operating costs coming in lower than expected. These results
reflect the efforts and focus of our workforce and reaffirm the
value potential of our assets, the strength of our operations and
MEMP’s significant cash flow generation. Over the past twelve
months we have made great strides to reduce MEMP’s outstanding
debt, drive down costs, divest non-core assets and manage our cash
flows, while at the same time exploring opportunities to further
enhance our liquidity and improve our leverage profile.”
Scarff continued, “After delivering another
solid quarter from an operational perspective, we are now taking
additional steps to strengthen MEMP’s financial position, including
exploring strategic alternatives to strengthen MEMP’s balance sheet
and continuing discussions with our lenders regarding our capital
structure. As we work through this process, our Board has
determined it is in the best interest of the Partnership to not
make an interest payment on our senior notes that was due on
November 1, 2016, commencing a 30-day grace period. Importantly,
our operations and production are continuing as normal across our
asset base, and we remain confident in the strength of our assets
and continued cash generation.”
Review of Third Quarter
2016
- Average daily production decreased 8% to 213.8 MMcfe for the
third quarter 2016, compared to 231.5 MMcfe for the second quarter
2016, primarily due to the volumes attributable to the divestiture
of our Rockies and Permian assets which was partially offset by
stronger than expected production from new wells that were
completed in East Texas during the third quarter.
- Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales, excluding commodity
derivatives settlements, were $74.2 million in the third quarter of
2016, compared to $67.8 million in the second quarter of
2016. On an Mcfe basis, crude oil, natural gas and NGLs
represented 28%, 56% and 16%, respectively, of sales volumes.
On a revenue basis, crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales
represented 47%, 42% and 11%, respectively, of total oil and
natural gas revenues.
- Average realized prices, excluding commodity derivatives
settlements:

- Averaged realized prices, including commodity derivatives
settlements, were $5.65 per Mcfe in the third quarter of 2016,
compared to $6.43 per Mcfe in the second quarter of 2016.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities decreased to $43.2
million for the third quarter of 2016 from $79.0 million in the
second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower cash settlements on
expired derivatives as a result of the hedge terminations in the
second quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $76.9 million for the third
quarter of 2016 from $84.1 million for the second quarter of 2016.
The decrease was primarily due to lower hedging revenues and
moderately higher operating expenses.
- Distributable cash flow(1) available to limited partners was
$35.9 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $44.9
million for the second quarter of 2016.
- Total lease operating expenses increased 8% to $31.6 million in
the third quarter of 2016 compared to $29.4 million in the second
quarter of 2016. This anticipated increase was primarily due to
higher workover expenses across the asset base and was included in
our recent guidance estimates. On a per unit basis, total
lease operating expenses increased 16% to $1.61 per Mcfe in the
third quarter of 2016 compared to $1.39 per Mcfe in the second
quarter of 2016.
- Total gathering, processing and transportation fees were $0.43
per Mcfe in the third quarter of 2016 and in line with the $0.42
per Mcfe in the second quarter of 2016.
- Taxes other than income were $0.20 per Mcfe in the third
quarter of 2016 compared to $0.17 per Mcfe in the second quarter of
2016.
- General and administrative expenses ("G&A") were $12.6
million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $15.2 million for
the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in G&A was in line
with our expectations and supports a decline in overall costs
following our split with Memorial Resource Development Corp. in the
second quarter. The $12.6 million also included $2.1 million of
non-cash unit-based compensation expense, compared to $2.7 million
in the second quarter of 2016.
- Gains of $21.9 million on commodity derivatives were recorded
during the third quarter of 2016, which included a $36.9 million
gain on cash settlements received on expired positions. This
compared to total losses of $124.6 million recorded during the
second quarter of 2016, which included $106.9 million of cash
settlements received on expired or terminated positions.
Total hedged production in the third quarter of 2016 was 18.6 Bcfe,
or 95% of third quarter production of 19.7 Bcfe, at an average
hedge price of $6.04 per Mcfe.
- Net interest expense was $27.2 million during the third quarter
of 2016, including $1.9 million of non-cash amortization of
deferred financing fees and accretion of senior notes
discount.
- Total capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2016 were
$13.7 million.
Financial Update
As of October 28, 2016, MEMP had total debt of
$1.8 billion, which included $1.1 billion of senior notes and $714
million under its revolving credit facility. As recently
announced, the borrowing base on MEMP’s revolving credit facility
has been reduced to $740 million effective October 28, 2016 and
will be further reduced to $720 million as of December 1, 2016.
As of October 28, 2016, MEMP’s liquidity consisted of $20
million of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity of $24
million (including the impact of $2.4 million in letters of
credit).
MEMP’s total debt outstanding as of each of the

As of September 30, 2016, MEMP was in compliance with the
financial covenants under its revolving credit facility.
These covenants include a first lien coverage test of 3.25x, an
interest coverage ratio of 2.5x and a current ratio of
1.0x.
Interest Payment
As previously announced, the Partnership is
working with its advisors to explore strategic alternatives to
strengthen its balance sheet as it continues discussions with its
lenders regarding MEMP’s capital structure.
As it continues this process, MEMP has elected
to not make an interest payment of approximately $24.6 million due
today on its 7.625% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). Under
the terms of the indenture governing the 2021 Notes, the
Partnership has a 30-day grace period after the interest payment
date before an event of default occurs. The Board of Directors of
MEMP GP believes it is in the best interests of MEMP and its
subsidiaries to use the grace period to continue discussions with
its lenders and noteholders related to alternatives to improve
MEMP’s capital structure.
Failure to pay interest on the 2021 Notes
constitutes an event of default under MEMP’s revolving credit
facility, which default was waived by the lenders thereunder while
MEMP continues such discussions.
There is no assurance that the discussions with
MEMP’s lenders and noteholders will result in an agreement before
the end of the grace period. MEMP can elect to make the interest
payment at any time during the grace period. However, if MEMP
decides not to make the interest payment by the end of the grace
period, such failure constitutes an event of default under MEMP’s
revolving credit facility, the indenture governing the 2021 Notes
and the indenture governing MEMP’s 6.875% senior notes due
2022.
Hedging Update
Consistent with its hedging policy, MEMP has
entered into natural gas, crude oil and NGL derivatives contracts
covering the period from 2016 through December 2019. MEMP's hedging
policy is designed to reduce the impact to cash flows from
commodity price and interest rate volatility.
The following table reflects the volumes of
MEMP’s expected production covered by commodity derivative
contracts and the average fixed or floor prices at which that
production is hedged. Targeted average net production estimate
represents the mid-point of the annual production range in MEMP’s
updated 2016 full year guidance.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking
statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical
facts, included in this press release that address activities,
events or developments that MEMP expects, believes or anticipates
will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
Terminology such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,”
“target,” “continue,” “potential,” the negative of such terms or
other comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about MEMP's future capital expenditures
(including the amount and nature thereof), expectations regarding
cash flows, distributions and distribution rates, and expectations
of plans, goals, strategies (including measures to implement
strategies), objectives and anticipated financial and operating
results of MEMP, including as to production, lease operating
expenses, hedging activities, commodity price realizations, capital
expenditure levels and other guidance. These statements are
based on certain assumptions made by MEMP based on its experience
and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate
in the circumstances, but such assumptions may prove to be
inaccurate. Such statements are also subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of MEMP,
which may cause MEMP’s actual results to differ materially from
those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements.
These include risks and uncertainties relating to, among other
things, MEMP’s efforts to reduce leverage and effectuate strategic
alternatives; MEMP’s level of indebtedness including its ability to
satisfy its debt obligation; the borrowing base under MEMP’s
revolving credit facility and failure to pay interest on its senior
notes; risks related to MEMP’s ability to generate sufficient cash
flow, to make payments on its debt obligations and to execute its
business plan; MEMP’s ability to access funds on acceptable terms,
if at all, because of the terms and conditions governing MEMP’s
indebtedness or otherwise; the uncertainty inherent in the
development and production of oil, natural gas and natural gas
liquids and in estimating reserves; drilling activities; volatility
in the prices for, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids,
including a further or extended decline in commodity prices;
potential difficulties in the marketing of oil, natural gas and
natural gas liquids; competition in the oil and natural gas
industry; potential failure or shortages of, or increased costs
for, drilling and production equipment and supply materials for
production; risks related to acquisitions, including MEMP’s ability
to integrate acquired properties; and the risk that MEMP’s hedging
strategy may be ineffective or may reduce its income. Please read
MEMP’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
including “Risk Factors” in MEMP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and
if applicable, MEMP’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current
Reports on Form 8-K, which are available on MEMP’s Investor
Relations website at http://investor.memorialpp.com/sec.cfm or on
the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, for a discussion of risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from
those in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date of this press release. All
forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified in
their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as required
by law, MEMP undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future results or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules
include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and
Distributable Cash Flow. The accompanying schedules provide a
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP. MEMP’s non-GAAP financial measures should not
be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income,
operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities
or any other measure of financial performance calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. MEMP’s non-GAAP financial
measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of
other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the
same manner as MEMP does.
Adjusted EBITDA. MEMP defines
Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense;
income tax expense; depreciation, depletion and amortization;
impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; accretion of asset
retirement obligations; losses on commodity derivative instruments;
cash settlements received on expired commodity derivative
instruments; losses on sale of assets; unit-based compensation
expenses; exploration costs; acquisition and divestiture related
expenses; amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity
derivatives, bad debt expense; and other non-routine items, less
interest income; gain on extinguishment of debt; income tax
benefit; gains on commodity derivative instruments; cash
settlements paid on expired commodity derivative instruments; gains
on sale of assets and other, net; and other non-routine items.
Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial
measure by management and external users of MEMP’s financial
statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating
agencies, to assess: (1) its operating performance as compared to
other companies and partnerships in MEMP’s industry without regard
to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis;
(2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay
interest, support MEMP’s indebtedness and make distributions on its
units; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of
return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted
EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or
loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the
Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The
GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net
cash provided by operating activities.Distributable Cash
Flow. MEMP defines distributable cash flow as
Adjusted EBITDA, less cash income taxes; cash interest expense; and
total capital expenditures. Management compares the
distributable cash flow MEMP generates to the cash distributions it
expects to pay MEMP’s partners. Using this metric, management
computes MEMP’s distribution coverage ratio. Distributable cash
flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for MEMP’s limited
partners since it serves as an indicator of MEMP’s success in
providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial
measure indicates to investors whether or not MEMP is generating
cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in
its quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also a
quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect
to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership
unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the
amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder.
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash
flow is net cash provided by operating activities. On June 1, 2016
MEMP acquired its general partner from Memorial Resource
Development Corp. In connection with that acquisition, the MEMP
general partner interest was converted into a non-economic interest
and the MEMP incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) were cancelled.
Prior to that acquisition, MEMP’s calculation of quarterly
distributions required the calculation of Operating Surplus under
the MEMP partnership agreement, which required the use of
“estimated maintenance capital expenditures” for such calculation.
Accordingly, in previous periods MEMP used estimated maintenance
capital expenditures to calculate Distributable Cash Flow for each
period. Beginning with its acquisition of its general partner and
cancellation of the IDRs, Operating Surplus is no longer relevant
to the calculation of distributions. Accordingly, MEMP no longer
uses estimated maintenance capital expenditures to calculate
Distributable Cash Flow. In addition, in the current commodity
price environment all of MEMP’s capital expenditures are
maintenance capital expenditures. Accordingly, MEMP presents
Distributable Cash Flow as using capital expenditures rather than
estimated maintenance capital expenditures in such calculation.
Distributable Cash Flow has been recalculated for the historical
periods presented in this press release for consistency.
