UNIT CORPORATION REPORTS 2013 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Tulsa, Oklahoma . . . Unit Corporation (NYSE - UNT) today reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2013. Highlights include:


•	Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $48.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).


•	Total production for the quarter was 4.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), an increase of 23% over the second quarter of 2012.


•	Production guidance for 2013 is being increased to between 16.4 and 16.9 MMBoe.


•	Total liquids (oil and natural gas liquids) production for the quarter increased 23% over the comparable quarter of 2012.


•	Sold two idle 2,000 horsepower drilling rigs.


•	Mid-stream segment's liquids volumes per day and gathered volumes per day increased by 21% and 20%, respectively, over the first quarter of 2013.


•	Mid-stream operating profit (as defined in the Selected Financial and Operational Highlights) for the quarter was $11.1 million, an increase of 39% over the first quarter of 2013.

Net income for the quarter was $59.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $19.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. Net income included the effect of a $16.5 million ($10.2 million after tax) increase in earnings from the unrealized value of commodity derivatives. Without this increase, net income would have been $48.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). Total revenues for the quarter were $340.4 million (48% oil and natural gas, 31% contract drilling, and 21% mid-stream), compared to $327.8 million (40% oil and natural gas, 45% contract drilling, and 15% mid-stream) for the second quarter of 2012.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $99.2 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, compared to $33.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2012. Net income for the first six months of 2013 included the effect of a $9.6 million ($5.9 million after tax) increase in earnings from the unrealized value of commodity derivatives. Without this increase, net income for the first six months of 2013 would have been $93.3 million, or $1.93 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). Total revenues for the first six months of 2013 were $659.0 million (48% oil and natural gas, 32% contract drilling, and 20% mid-stream), compared to $661.8 million (40% oil and natural gas, 44% contract drilling, and 16% mid-stream) for the first six months of 2012.

OIL AND NATURAL GAS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Unit's production results reflect its focus on drilling oil or natural gas liquids (NGLs) rich wells. Liquids production represented 44% of total equivalent production for the quarter. Total equivalent production for the quarter increased 23% over the second quarter of 2012 to 4.1 MMBoe, while total liquids production increased 23% over the comparable quarter of 2012. Liquids production has increased 144% since the first quarter of 2009 when Unit began focusing on increasing its liquids production. Second quarter 2013 oil production was 859,000 barrels, compared to 786,000 barrels for the same period of 2012,

an increase of 9%. NGLs production for the quarter was 935,000 barrels, an increase of 39% when compared to 674,000 barrels for the same period of 2012. Natural gas production increased 23% to 13.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf) compared to 11.3 Bcf for the comparable quarter of 2012. Total production for the first six months of 2013 was 8.1 MMBoe.

The Wilcox play in southeast Texas continues to produce strong results with average daily production for the quarter increasing approximately 9% and 17% compared to the first quarter 2013 and the second quarter 2012, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of two new vertical well completions and several significant behind pipe recompletions in previously drilled wells. Unit anticipates this production momentum will continue into the third quarter. In the “Gilly” Lower Wilcox field, at the end of the second quarter the resource potential increased approximately 31% compared to year end to 302 gross Bcfe (220 net Bcfe), primarily because of data obtained from drilling and testing new wells in the field. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, Unit drilled an additional well outside the known limits of existing production on the west side of the “Gilly” field that logged approximately 250 feet of potential pay. The well is scheduled to be tested during the third quarter and could result in another increase to the overall estimated resource potential for the field. Additional vertical field wells are planned later this year to further delineate the lateral extent of the field. Drilling operations have also started on Unit's first horizontal Wilcox well located within the “Gilly” field. This well is targeting one of the lower pay sands at a vertical depth of approximately 14,500 feet with a projected 2,800 foot lateral. The location of the well is designed to penetrate and case off the majority of the shallower field pays for potential future production before drilling the horizontal part of the well. Results from the horizontal well are anticipated near the end of the third quarter. Approximately one mile north of the “Gilly” Field, Unit discovered a new productive fault block with the completion of two recent wells. Unit plans to drill a third well during the third quarter to further delineate the potential of the discovery. For the remainder of 2013, Unit is adding a second Unit rig in its Wilcox play which should result in a total of 12 to 14 gross wells drilled in this play for the year at a net cost of approximately $78 million.

In Unit's Mississippian play in south central Kansas, the installation of the pipeline and processing infrastructure by Superior Pipeline is underway with an estimated completion in mid August 2013. Unit resumed drilling in the prospect in late July and plans to work one or two Unit drilling rigs for the remainder of 2013. Since the initial well completion in this play in May 2012 through the end of the second quarter 2013, Unit has completed seven horizontal wells in the prospect area with five of the seven wells having sufficient production data to discuss results. The average 30 day initial production (IP) rate for the five wells is approximately 238 Boe per day and the preliminary reserve range is estimated at 125 MBoe to 180 MBoe comprising approximately 58% liquids. Average production for the second quarter was up 146% over the previous quarter. Unit has approximately 118,000 net acres in the Mississippian play and plans to spend approximately $40 million (net) drilling and completing approximately 13 gross wells during 2013. Unit has a 100% working interest in all seven of the completed horizontal wells.

In its Granite Wash (GW) play in the Texas Panhandle, Unit has four Unit rigs drilling and will potentially add a fifth Unit rig in August and a sixth Unit rig in October. For the first half of 2013, Unit had first sales on eight horizontal wells, having an average peak 30 day IP rate of 4.5 MMcfe per day at an average working interest of 96%. Subsequent to the second quarter, Unit has completed drilling operations on three GW horizontal wells and is drilling two GW horizontal wells on leasehold acquired from the recent Noble acquisition. Completion and first oil and gas sales for these wells is estimated to occur during the fourth quarter 2013. For 2013, Unit anticipates completing approximately 28 gross horizontal wells at an approximate net cost of $145 million.

In the Marmaton horizontal oil play in Beaver County, Oklahoma, Unit completed 23 wells through the second quarter of 2013 with an average working interest of 77%. The average 30 day peak rate for second quarter wells was approximately 350 Boe, which is in line with expectations. Average net daily production for the second quarter was approximately 3,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day which is an increase of approximately 22% as compared to the second quarter 2012. Development of the field is continuing on one well per 640 acre spacing. Unit has leases on approximately 115,000 net acres in this play with approximately 53% of the leasehold held by production. Unit anticipates continuing the two Unit rig program in this play which should result in approximately 46 gross wells being completed during 2013 at an approximate net cost of $105 million.

Larry Pinkston, Unit's Chief Executive Officer and President, said: “We are pleased with the results from our exploration operations, and we are excited about our opportunities for growth. Production has grown during the second quarter of 2013 from the first quarter of 2013 due principally to our gradual ramp up in company operated drilling rigs. We are operating 11 drilling rigs and plan to add additional drilling rigs throughout 2013 depending on market conditions. Unit's annual production guidance for 2013 is being increased to between 16.4 to 16.9 MMBoe, an increase of 15% to 19% over 2012.”

CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The average number of drilling rigs used in the second quarter of 2013 was 65.2, a decrease of 15% from the second quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 2% from the first quarter of 2013. Per day drilling rig rates for the second quarter of 2013 averaged $19,601, a decrease of 3%, or $527, from the second quarter of 2012, and essentially unchanged from the first quarter of 2013. Average per day operating margin for the second quarter of 2013 was $7,597 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $3.7 million). This compares to $11,130 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $4.7 million) for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of 32%, or $3,533. As compared to the first quarter of 2013 ($7,534 before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $3.4 million), second quarter 2013 operating margin increased 1% or $63 (in each case regarding eliminating intercompany drilling rig profit see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). For the second quarter of 2012 average operating margins included early termination fees of approximately $2,188 per day from the cancellation of certain long-term contracts.

For the first six months of 2013, Unit averaged 65.8 drilling rigs working, a decrease of 17% from 79.1 drilling rigs working during the first six months of 2012. Average per day operating margin for the first six months of 2013 was $7,565 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $7.1 million) as compared to $10,246 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $9.0 million) for the first six months of 2012, a decrease of 26% (in each case regarding eliminating intercompany drilling rig profit see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). For the first six months of 2012 average operating margins included early termination fees of approximately $1,109 per day from the cancellation of certain long-term contracts.

Larry Pinkston said: “Drilling rig demand has been fairly flat during the first six months of 2013. Operators are continuing to focus on shallower oil plays and liquids rich plays which provide the opportunity to put more of our 750 to 1,000 horsepower drilling rigs to work. Almost all of our drilling rigs working today are drilling for oil or NGLs. Recently, we sold two 2,000 horsepower drilling rigs, bringing our fleet's total to 125. Of the 125 drilling rigs, we have 65 under contract. Long-term contracts (contracts with original terms ranging from six months to two years in length) are in place for 27 of those 65

drilling rigs. Of these contracts, 13 are up for renewal during the third quarter of 2013, three during the fourth quarter of 2013, and 11 in 2014 and beyond. We are constructing a new prototype 1,500 horsepower AC electric drilling rig of proprietary design. The drilling rig is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2013, and will operate initially for our oil and natural gas segment.”

The following table illustrates Unit's drilling rig count at the end of each period and average utilization rate during the period:

Larry Pinkston said: “In the Mississippian play in north central Oklahoma, our Bellmon system consists of approximately 136 miles of pipe. In the first quarter of 2013, we completed the installation of a second processing plant at the Bellmon facility, a 30 MMcf per day cryogenic plant. Due to increasing volumes, we are installing an additional 60 MMcf per day processing plant at our Bellmon facility expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2013. At our Hemphill facility in Hemphill County, Texas, we now can process 135 MMcf per day of our own and third party Granite Wash natural gas production after relocating two processing plants from Hemphill to the new Reno facility. We are also completing two pipeline extension projects for a total cost of approximately $5.7 million, which will allow us to connect additional production from our oil and natural gas segment to this system. In Reno County, Kansas, we are constructing a new gathering system and processing facility. This system will comprise 35 miles of gathering pipeline and two processing plants which were relocated from our Hemphill facility, a 5 MMcf per day refrigeration plant and a 20 MMcf per day turbo expander plant. At this facility, we are currently only gathering gas but are in the process of installing two processing plants that are expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2013.”

“In the Appalachian area, we are continuing to develop our Pittsburgh Mills gathering system in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. We have completed the 1^st phase of this project which comprises approximately 14 miles of gathering pipeline and related compressor station in which we have installed three compressors. We have 19 wells connected to this system with gathered volume of approximately 68 MMcf per day.”

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Unit ended the second quarter with long-term debt of $715.5 million ($645.5 million of senior subordinated notes and $70.0 million under its credit agreement), and a debt to capitalization ratio of 26%. Under its credit agreement, the amount available for Unit to borrow is the lesser of the amount Unit elects as the commitment amount ($500 million) or the value of its borrowing base as determined by the lenders ($800 million), but in either event not to exceed $900 million.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Larry Pinkston said: “We are pleased with the performance of all three segments and we are excited about continued growth opportunities for 2013. Each segment is moving forward on key initiatives which should create additional shareholder value for years to come. We continue to maintain a conservative financial profile. We are well positioned for continued growth and to take advantage of new opportunities that may arise.”

(1) The company considers its cash flow from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities an important measure in meeting the performance goals of the company (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).

(2) Operating profit before depreciation is calculated by taking operating revenues by segment less operating expenses excluding depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment, general and administrative, and gain on disposition of assets. Operating margins are calculated by dividing operating profit by segment revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We believe certain non-GAAP performance measures provide users of our financial information and our management additional meaningful information to evaluate the performance of our company.

This press release includes cash flow from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities, our drilling segment's average daily operating margin before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit, and net income and earnings per share excluding the effect of the unrealized value of commodity derivatives and the impairment of oil and natural gas properties.

Below is a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered by themselves or a substitute for our results reported in accordance with GAAP.
