Natchez, MS (August 8, 2011)—Callon Petroleum Company (NYSE: CPE) today reported net income of $19.9 million, or $0.50 per fully diluted share, for the second quarter, and $24.0 million, or $0.65 per fully diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.  This compares with net income of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, during the second quarter, and $6.0 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Highlights during the second quarter and first half of 2011 include:
 
 
·
Increased crude oil revenues by 83%, or $13.2 million, to $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to revenues of $15.9 million for the same period of 2010.
 
·
Increased natural gas revenues to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 which is an increase of 37%, or $2.0 million, as compared to gas revenues of $5.7 million for the same period of 2010.
 
·
Finalized the agreements necessary for a final wind down of the company’s former Entrada project, resulting in a Gain on Acquired Assets during the period of $3.7 million and a $4.0 million income tax benefit.
 
·
Completed a public offering of 10.1 million common shares to partially fund the company’s accelerated Permian drilling program and to reduce long-term debt.
 
·
Reduced long-term debt by $31 million realizing annual cash interest expense savings of $4 million.  The outstanding balance of the company’s Senior Notes due in 2016 has been reduced to $107 million.

Second Quarter and Six Months 2011 Operating Results.  Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include oil and gas sales of $36.8 million from average production of 5.6 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboe/d).  This corresponds to sales of $21.6 million from average production of 4.4 Mboe/d during the comparable 2010 period. The average price per barrel of oil (Bbl) received in the second quarter of 2011, after hedging impact, increased to $105.75, compared to $74.03 for the same period in 2010. The average price per thousand cubic feet of natural gas (Mcf) received during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased to $5.58, compared to $5.22, after the impact of hedging, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Oil and gas sales for the first six months of 2011 totaled $62.3 million from average production of 5.1 Mboe/d.  This corresponds to sales of $45.0 million from average production of 4.5 Mboe/d during the same period in 2010.  The average price received per Bbl in the first half of 2011, after hedging impact, increased to $100.71, compared to $74.41 during the same period in 2010. Likewise, the average price received per Mcf in the six-month period of 2011 decreased to $5.27, compared to $5.50 during the first six months of 2010.
 
Second Quarter and Six Months 2011 Discretionary Cash Flow. Discretionary cash flow for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 totaled $24.2 million compared to $10.6 million during the comparable prior year period.  Net cash flow provided by operating activities, as defined by U.S. GAAP, totaled $17.5 million and $18.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Discretionary cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 totaled $37.0 million and $21.8 million, respectively.  Net cash flow provided by operating activities, as defined by GAAP, totaled $31.0 million and $74.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Cash flow from operations in the first half of 2010 included a $44.8 million recoupment of royalties paid to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (“BOEMRE;” formerly the Minerals Management Service), and related interest of $7.9 million. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” that follows and the accompanying reconciliation of discretionary cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, to net cash flow provided by operating activities.)
 
         Non-GAAP Financial Measure - This news release refers to a non-GAAP financial measure as “discretionary cash flow.” Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of discretionary cash flow is useful as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt.  The company also 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 may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Discretionary cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP.
