Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2016

The Company reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2016 (“2Q16”) of $73.8 million, or $6.06 per share, as compared to a net loss of $23.3 million, or $1.92 per share, for the second quarter of 2015 (“2Q15”). Adjusted net loss1 (non-GAAP) for 2Q16 was $34.3 million, or $2.82 per share, as compared to adjusted net loss1 (non-GAAP) of $13.1 million, or $1.08 per share, for 2Q15. Cash flow from operations for 2Q16 was $(16.6) million as compared to $8.5 million for 2Q15. EBITDAX2 (non-GAAP) for 2Q16 was $13.4 million as compared to $36.5 million for 2Q15.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net loss attributable to Company stockholders was $109 million, or $8.96 per share, as compared to net loss of $41.6 million, or $3.42 per share, for the same period in 2015. Adjusted net loss1 (non-GAAP) for the six-month period in 2016 was $65 million, or $5.34 per share, as compared to adjusted net loss1 (non-GAAP) of $33.6 million, or $2.76 per share, for the same period in 2015. Cash flow from operations for the six-month period in 2016 was $(16.1) million as compared to $28.6 million during the same period in 2015. EBITDAX2 (non-GAAP) for the six-month period in 2016 was $22.9 million as compared to $62.6 million for the same period in 2015.

The key factors affecting the comparability of financial results for 2Q16 versus 2Q15 were:

Oil and gas sales for 2Q16, excluding amortized deferred revenues, decreased $26.3 million compared to 2Q15. Production variances accounted for a $13.8 million decrease and price variances accounted for a $12.5 million decrease. Average realized oil prices were $40.51 per barrel in 2Q16 versus $53.32 per barrel in 2Q15, average realized gas prices were $1.87 per Mcf in 2Q16 versus $2.58 per Mcf in 2Q15, and average realized natural gas liquids (“NGL”) prices were $14.09 per barrel in 2Q16 versus $15.30 per barrel in 2Q15. Amortized deferred revenue in 2Q16 totaled $0.4 million as compared to $1.7 million in 2Q15.




Oil, gas and NGL production per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) decreased 18% in 2Q16 as compared to 2Q15, with oil production decreasing 20% to 9,835 barrels per day, gas production decreasing 20% to 12,890 Mcf per day, and NGL production increasing 2% to 1,593 barrels per day. Oil and NGL production accounted for approximately 84% of the Company’s total BOE production in 2Q16 and 2Q15. After giving effect to the sale of selected leases and wells in South Louisiana in September 2015, oil, gas and NGL production per BOE decreased 16% in 2Q16 as compared to 2Q15. See accompanying tables for additional information about the Company’s oil and gas production.

Production costs in 2Q16 were $19.2 million versus $23.1 million in 2Q15 due to lower oilfield service costs and reductions in production taxes associated with a decrease in commodity prices. Production costs on a BOE basis, excluding production taxes, increased 6% to $13.81 per BOE in 2Q16 versus $13.02 per BOE in 2Q15.

Interest expense for 2Q16 was $26.6 million versus $13.6 million for 2Q15. The increase was due primarily to $13.3 million of incremental interest expense on funded indebtedness incurred under a second lien term loan credit facility issued in connection with a refinancing in March 2016 (the “Refinancing”). The Company elected to pay interest on the term loan facility in-kind and resulted in an increase in the principal amount of the term loan to $363.3 million.

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Refinancing as derivative instruments and carries the warrants as a non-current liability at their fair value. The Company recorded a $37.9 million loss on change in fair value in 2Q16.

Loss on commodity derivatives for 2Q16 was $15.9 million (including a $2.9 million loss on settled contracts) versus a loss on commodity derivatives in 2Q15 of $12.3 million (including a $1.8 million loss on settled contracts). See accompanying tables for additional information about the Company’s accounting for derivatives.

General and administrative expenses for 2Q16 were $13.6 million versus $11.3 million for 2Q15. The increase was attributable to a $2.6 million net change in compensation expense related to the Company’s APO reward plans ($9.1 million in 2Q16 versus $6.5 million in 2Q15).

2 See “Computation of EBITDAX (non-GAAP)” below for an explanation of how the Company calculates and uses EBITDAX (non-GAAP) and for a reconciliation of net loss (GAAP) to EBITDAX (non-GAAP).




Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2016, total long-term debt was $930.1 million, consisting of $336.6 million (net of $26.6 million of original issue discount and debt issuance costs) under the second lien term loan credit facility and $593.5 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The borrowing base established by the banks under the revolving credit facility and the aggregate lender commitment was $100 million at June 30, 2016. The Company had $98.1 million of availability under the revolving credit facility after allowing for outstanding letters of credit of $1.9 million. Liquidity, consisting of cash, certificates of deposit and commercial paper and funds available on the revolving credit facility, totaled $255.7 million.

As announced on July 25, 2016, the Company has agreed to sell 5,051,100 shares of common stock to funds managed by Ares Management, L.P. for cash proceeds of $150 million or approximately $29.70 per share. When closed, proceeds from this sale will provide additional liquidity for potential debt reduction transactions related to its 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (“Notes”) and for developmental drilling on its 65,000 net acre position in the core of the southern Delaware Basin. In connection with the transaction, lenders under the Company’s term loan credit facility waived certain restrictions to enable the Company to use proceeds from equity issuances and specified asset sales for debt reduction and capital expenditures.

On July 28, 2016, the Company commenced a modified “Dutch Auction” cash tender offer to purchase up to $100 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes with a bid range from $880 to $950 per each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The tender offer will expire on August 29, 2016.

CLAYTON WILLIAMS ENERGY, INC.
COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED NET LOSS (NON-GAAP)
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share)
Adjusted net loss is presented as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because of its wide acceptance by financial analysts, investors, debt holders, banks, rating agencies and other financial statement users as a tool for operating trends analysis and industry comparisons. Adjusted net loss is not an alternative to net loss presented in conformity with GAAP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss before changes in fair value of commodity derivatives and common stock warrants, abandonments and impairments, impairments of property and equipment, net (gain) loss on sales of assets and impairment of inventory, amortization of deferred revenue from volumetric production payment, impairment of investments, certain non-cash and unusual items and the impact on taxes of the adjustments for each period presented.

CLAYTON WILLIAMS ENERGY, INC.
COMPUTATION OF EBITDAX (NON-GAAP)
(Unaudited)
(In thousands)
EBITDAX is presented as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because of its wide acceptance by financial analysts, investors, debt holders, banks, rating agencies and other financial statement users as an indication of an entity's ability to meet its debt service obligations and to internally fund its exploration and development activities. EBITDAX is not an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in conformity with GAAP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company defines EBITDAX as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, exploration costs, net (gain) loss on sales of assets and impairment of inventory, and all non-cash items in the Company's statements of operations, including depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of property and equipment, accretion of asset retirement obligations, amortization of deferred revenue from volumetric production payment, certain employee compensation, changes in fair value of commodity derivatives and common stock warrants, impairment of investments and certain non-cash and unusual items.

______
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(a)
Oil and gas sales includes $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of amortized deferred revenue attributable to a volumetric production payment (“VPP”) transaction effective March 1, 2012. In August 2015, we terminated the VPP covering 277 MBOE of oil and gas production from August 2015 through December 2019 for $13.7 million. The calculation of average realized sales prices excludes production of 22,503 barrels of oil and 14,750 Mcf of gas for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 45,654 barrels of oil and 30,837 Mcf of gas for the six months ended June 30, 2015 associated with the VPP.

(b)
Hedging gains/losses are only included in the determination of the Company’s average realized prices if the underlying commodity derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges under applicable accounting standards. The Company did not designate any of its 2016 or 2015 commodity derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. This means that the Company’s commodity derivatives for 2016 and 2015 have been marked-to-market through its statement of operations as other income/expense instead of through accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s balance sheet. This also means that all realized gains/losses on these commodity derivatives are reported in other income/expense instead of as a component of oil and gas sales.

(c)
Historical average daily production volumes have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

(d)
The average daily production related to selected leases and wells in South Louisiana sold in September 2015 was 530 total BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 490 total BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
