Energy XXI Reports Fiscal 2015 First-Quarter Results, Issues
Operations Update
First-quarter production volumes average 58,600 BOE/d
FY15 capital program reduced to $670-$690 million range
On target to achieve full-year cost savings on acquisition
HOUSTON - Nov. 5, 2014 - Energy XXI (NASDAQ: EXXI) (AIM: EXXI)
today announced fiscal first-quarter 2015 results and provided an
operations update on activities in the Gulf of Mexico.
Highlights
-- Generated first-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $230.7 million
-- Current production averaging 60,000 BOE/d
-- Reaffirmed full-year guidance ranges
-- Currently completing the Toro well after logging 170 net feet of oil pay
"During the first quarter with a front-loaded capital budget, we
completed nine wells, with nine additional wells to come online in
the current quarter," Energy XXI Ltd Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer John D. Schiller said. "As we enter the second
half of our fiscal year we are focused on capital preservation,
reducing downtime and lowering expenses while maintaining
production and generating free cash flow. Asset rationalization and
free cash flow will be used for debt reduction."
Fiscal 2015 First-Quarter Results
For the 2015 fiscal first quarter, adjusted earnings before
non-recurring charges and interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion
and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $230.7 million (a non-GAAP
measure reconciled below), compared with $205.2 million in the 2014
fiscal first quarter. The company reported a net loss available for
common stockholders in the 2015 fiscal first quarter of $9.3
million, or $0.10 loss per diluted share, on revenues of $403.2
million, compared with fiscal 2014 first-quarter net income
available for common stockholders of $40.3 million, or $0.51 income
per diluted share, on revenues of $324.6 million.
Production for the 2015 fiscal first quarter averaged 58,600 net
barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), with 41,600 barrels per
day (Bbl/d) liquids, compared with 46,600 net BOE/d, 29,800 Bbl/d
liquids in the 2014 fiscal first quarter. Current production
approximates 60,000 BOE/d. The company currently has 75 percent of
oil hedged through calendar 2014, and has 60 percent of oil hedged
in calendar 2015.
Operations Update
Our core acreage position has led to multiple wells coming
online in the first quarter. Three horizontal wells were brought
online at West Delta 73 (100% WI/83% NRI), four at the West Delta
30 field (100% WI/ 87% NRI), one at Main Pass (100% WI/ 83% NRI),
and one at Ship Shoal (100% WI/ 83% NRI). The nine wells provided
uplift of approximately 1,250 net BOE/d to the first-quarter
average. These wells are expected to add approximately 3,000 net
BOE/d to the fiscal second-quarter average. In the second quarter,
the company plans to bring nine additional wells online, providing
approximate uplift of 2,100 net BOE/d to the second-quarter average
production.
At the Main Pass 61 field, the Toro well reached total depth of
8,070 feet TVD/ 10,835 MD; logging 170 net feet measured depth (MD)
feet of oil pay in the J-6 sand, and is expected to be online
within the next 30 days. The company expects to be operating two
rigs by calendar year-end. In addition, the company will have a
workover rig at South Pass 78 to execute a four to six well
workover program.
Multiple capital projects are underway designed to alleviate
back pressure, water handling capacity, and compression upgrades in
the West Delta, Main Pass and South Pass areas. These planned
facilities upgrades are expected to cost approximately $15 million
and be completed in the company's fiscal third quarter. These
programs are designed to help optimize oil and gas production from
our core fields with total potential incremental production from
existing wells expected to exceed 2,500 BOE/d.
Inboard Lower Tertiary Cretaceous Trend
In the non-operated joint venture with Freeport McMoRan Oil and
Gas in the Inboard Lower Tertiary/Cretaceous trend, the Highlander
discovery (Lomond) is currently being completed and testing is
anticipated in the calendar fourth quarter of 2014. Energy XXI has
a 20 percent working interest in the Lomond well.
Capital Expenditures
During the 2015 fiscal first quarter, capital expenditures
totaled $280.0 million, with $25.4 million in exploration and
$254.6 million in development and other costs. Currently, the
company is estimating the total fiscal 2015 capital program to
range from $670 million to $690 million ($450 million annualized
run rate), down from a previously announced $815 million.
