QUICKSILVER RESOURCES REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2014 RESULTS


FORT WORTH, TEXAS (May 6, 2014) - Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) today announced preliminary 2014 first-quarter results.

2014 YTD Highlights:

Closed sale of Niobrara Asset in Colorado to Southwestern Energy Co. for total cash proceeds of $93.5 million
Redeemed outstanding 2015 senior notes and outstanding 2016 senior notes
Reduced net debt over the last four quarters by $500 million, excluding the impact of expenses related to debt refinancing in 2013
Increased activity in the Barnett Shale, which is expected to build net Barnett volumes in the second quarter of 2014 by greater than 10% over first-quarter volumes
Secured amendment to Fortune Creek agreements to lower gathering rate and defer the capital spending commitment in the Horn River Basin

“Quicksilver is making significant gains on reducing debt and creating new growth opportunities,” said Glenn Darden, Quicksilver's Chief Executive Officer. “The focus is completing our transaction in the Horn River Basin and executing on the development plan of our streamlined portfolio.”

Financial Results

Reported net loss for the first-quarter 2014 was $59 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, which includes a pre-tax unrealized, non-cash derivative loss of $32 million, compared to a reported net loss of $60 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the 2013 quarter. Reported net loss in the 2013 quarter also includes a pre-tax unrealized, non-cash derivative loss of $41 million.

Excluding the impact of unrealized derivative loss as noted above, and other non-operational items, adjusted net loss for the first-quarter 2014, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $14 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $6 million or $0.04 per diluted share, in the 2013 quarter.

The sale of the Niobrara Asset is effective January 1, 2014 but will not be reflected until the second-quarter 2014 when proceeds were received, in accordance with accounting rules.

A reconciliation of reported net loss to adjusted net loss is included in the tables accompanying this earnings release.

Production

First-quarter 2014 production was 22.1 Bcfe, or an average of 246 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfed) compared to 32.2 Bcfe, or an average of 358 MMcfed, in the 2013 quarter. The majority of the 112 MMcfed reduction is the result of the sale of the Montana Asset and 25% of the Barnett Asset, which collectively accounts for approximately 61 MMcfed of divested production. The remainder is attributable to: (1) curtailed capital activity in 2013 across the asset base and (2) displaced production due to completion activity in the Barnett Asset during the 2014 quarter.




Consistent with the 2014 capital plan, the company completed 14 gross Barnett wells during the 2014 quarter, and expects to connect these wells to sales into the second quarter. The completion activity is expected to grow net Barnett volumes by greater than 10% in the second-quarter 2014 compared to the first-quarter 2014.

Revenue

Production revenue and realized cash derivative gain/loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $105 million compared to $142 million in the 2013 quarter, which excludes approximately $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of cash proceeds from certain derivatives that will not be recognized until future periods to match their original settlement dates.
 
Excluding the effect of derivatives, production revenue in the first-quarter 2014 increased by approximately $29 million compared to the 2013 quarter due to improved natural gas and NGL pricing, but the gain was offset by a lower contribution from derivatives due to higher market prices and the expiration of 40 MMcf per day of $5/Mcf commodity swaps, and a lower weighted average price on the remaining derivative portfolio. As well, production revenue declined approximately $37 million compared to the 2013 quarter primarily as a result of asset sales, but also due to lower production volume as described in the "Production" section above.

The average realized price for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the 2013 quarter improved nearly 8% to $4.76 per Mcfe, which excludes approximately $0.08 per Mcfe of cash proceeds from derivatives described above. The average realized price for the first quarter of 2013 was $4.42 per Mcfe, which also excludes approximately $0.09 per Mcfe of cash proceeds from derivatives.

Expenses

Consolidated lease operating expense ("LOE") for the first quarter of 2014 was $19 million, or $0.85 per Mcfe, compared to approximately $25 million, or $0.77 per Mcfe in the 2013 quarter. The absolute decline is the effect of the sale of the Montana Asset and 25% of the Barnett Asset, which together lowered LOE by $4 million, company-wide lower headcount and lower production volume. The increase in the consolidated rate per Mcfe is attributable to the fixed nature of LOE amid a decline in production volume.

Consolidated gathering, processing and transportation ("GPT") expense for the first quarter of 2014 was $33 million, or $1.48 per Mcfe compared to approximately $40 million, or $1.24 per Mcfe in the 2013 quarter. The absolute decline is attributable to lower volumes in the Barnett Shale, which lowered GPT by approximately $8 million, and was caused by the 25% sale of the Barnett Shale and minimal capital activity. However, the following two events caused GPT to increase compared to the 2013 quarter: (1) a step-up in the second quarter of 2013 of the minimum treating and transportation volume commitment and (2) a higher treating rate assessed on Horn River production as first-quarter 2013 rates were discounted prior to the contractual increase of the minimum treating volume commitment.

The increase in the GPT rate per Mcfe is largely due to higher demand charges in the Horn River Basin as a greater portion of the minimum treating commitment was not met in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the 2013 quarter.




Production and ad valorem taxes for the first quarter of 2014 was $4 million, or $0.19 per Mcfe, compared to approximately $5 million, or $0.17 per Mcfe, in the 2013 quarter. The decline is attributable to asset sales, but is partially offset by taxes on higher revenue sourced from unhedged production volume.

Excluding the impact of non-recurring items, general & administrative ("G&A") expense for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the 2013 quarter is lower by 20% at $13 million, or $0.57 per Mcfe. The reduction is the effect of the company's aggressive cost control initiatives.

Debt and Liquidity

On April 28, 2014, the company redeemed all of its outstanding $10.5 million senior notes due 2015 and all of its outstanding $8.1 million senior notes due 2016 pursuant to a redemption notice issued on March 28, 2014.

In April 2014, the borrowing base under the Combined Credit Agreements was reduced to $325 million from $350 million after the semi-annual redetermination, and the facility size was reduced to $650 million. As well, certain definitions which impact the calculation of EBITDAX were amended in order to: (1) exclude certain non-recurring cash items; (2) provide for pro forma application of the March 2014 amendment to the Fortune Creek gathering agreement and (3) reduce the threshold for pro forma application of a material transaction to $10 million.

Total liquidity at May 1, 2014 was approximately $280 million in the form of $196 million of cash and marketable securities, and $84 million of availability under the Combined Credit Agreements.

Capital Spending

The company incurred approximately $42 million of capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2014, of which $31 million was for drilling and completion activities, $7 million for leasehold, and $4 million for capitalized costs ($3 million for capitalized G&A and $1 million for capitalized interest). First-quarter actual capital incurred is within the 2014 capital budget, which was disproportionately weighted to the first quarter.

Second-quarter 2014 Guidance

Second-quarter 2014 total company average daily production volume is expected to be 255 - 260 MMcfe per day, which is a consolidated growth rate of 4 - 6% compared to first-quarter 2014 production due to completion activity in the Barnett Shale. Average daily production volumes are expected to consist of 85% natural gas and 15% natural gas liquids and crude oil.

Full-year 2014 production continues to be expected at 245 - 255 MMcfe per day, and full-year 2014 capital spending continues to be expected at $136 million.




For the second quarter of 2014, expected costs, on an absolute and Mcfe basis, are as follows:

Per Mcfe
Lease operating expense
$19.2 - $20.6MM
$0.83 - $0.87

*January - September 2014

The company estimates that approximately 75% of its expected remaining 2014 equivalent production is covered by fixed price swaps.

During the first quarter of 2014, the company began diverting Horn River sales volume to the AECO hub to secure better pricing and to optimize firm commitments. Previously, a portion of the production from the Horn River was sold at Station 2. The company expects to sell substantially all of its Canadian production at the AECO hub until new sales volumes are brought online or AECO prices are at parity with Station 2, net of demand charges. With that, approximately 50% of expected sales at the AECO hub for the remainder of 2014 are covered by fixed-price swaps at a weighted-average discount of $0.46 per Mcf to NYMEX.

Niobrara Sale

The company closed the previously announced sale to Southwestern Energy Production Company of its jointly owned holdings with SWEPI LP ("Shell") in the Sand Wash Basin for gross cash proceeds of $180 million. Quicksilver received $93.5 million per the conditions as set forth in the purchase and sale agreement, which includes a deposit of $4.5 million received on March 4, 2014 when the agreement was executed.




The effective date of the sale is January 1, 2014. Quicksilver’s first-quarter 2014 results will not include the impact of this transaction as the sale to Southwestern Energy was reflected on the date proceeds were received, in accordance with accounting rules. The sale is not expected to create income effects.

Operational Update

United States - Barnett Shale

The company invested approximately $24 million in the first quarter to drill 5 gross (3 net) wells and complete 14 gross (8 net) wells. This activity is expected to contribute volume growth of greater than 10% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to first-quarter 2014 Barnett volumes.

For full-year 2014, the company expects to drill up to 30 gross (16 net) wells and complete up to 47 gross (26 net) wells.

Along with partners Tokyo Gas and Eni, Quicksilver leases approximately 135,000 gross (85,000 net) acres in the Fort Worth Basin which is prospective for the Barnett Shale.

United States - West Texas

Quicksilver, with its partners, are focused on evaluating and developing approximately 60,000 gross acres in Pecos County, Texas which is believed to be prospective for the Wolfcamp and Bone Springs formations. The joint venture with Eni calls for Eni to spend up to $52 million to fund 100% of the drilling and completion of up to five wells, the first of which is expected to be spud by June 2014.

Canada - Horseshoe Canyon

The company invested approximately $4 million in the first quarter to drill 5 gross (5 net) wells and complete 10 gross (9 net) wells. For full-year 2014, the company expects to invest up to $20 million to drill and complete up to 100 gross (50 net) wells.

Quicksilver leases approximately 528,000 gross (353,000 net) acres in its Horseshoe Canyon Asset in Alberta.

Canada - Horn River

In March 2014, the company executed an agreement with KKR, its partner in Fortune Creek, to reduce the rate assessed on Horn River gathered volumes and to amend the ending date of the remaining C$120 million capital spending requirement. As part of the amendment, Quicksilver paid C$28 million to Fortune Creek to apply against the gathering agreement requirement, thus lowering the Fortune Creek gathering rate by C$0.13 per Mcf until at least 2016. The amendment also provides that the remaining capital spending requirement be deferred to the earlier of June 30, 2016 or 12 months following consummation of a transaction involving a material portion of the Horn River Asset. The agreement also broadens the eligibility of allowable spending to include acquisitions of properties that utilize partnership assets. Additionally, as a result of the amendment, KKR no longer is required to fund the capital required for



construction of a proposed gas treatment facility, but at their option can provide funding for any facility to be constructed by Fortune Creek, including the proposed gas treatment facility.

The amendment provides the company with immediate cash flow relief by the reduction to the gathering fee paid to Fortune Creek, and provides additional time and flexibility to complete a transaction involving the company's Horn River Asset.

The company acquired a site off the British Columbia coast with the intent to develop an LNG facility with a prospective partner or partners, and is expecting within two to three months to file for a license to export gas from this site.

Quicksilver continues to work toward completing a transaction with one or more potential partners for its integrated Horn River project. The company anticipates minimal capital spending in the Horn River until it completes this process.

The company leases approximately 140,000 gross (130,000 net) acres in the Horn River Basin in British Columbia which is believed to hold 14 Tcf of natural gas resource potential.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

This news release and the accompanying schedule include the non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of adjusted net income. Adjusted net income is presented for all periods presented in the press release to exclude the effect on net income of certain revenue, expense, gain and loss associated with items not typically included in published estimates, in order to enhance the user’s overall understanding of current financial performance. As part of the press release, the company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income, which is the most comparable financial measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain revenues and expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating results, and will enhance the ability of management and investors to compare our results of operations from period to period.
