Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. Announces Second-Quarter 2017 Results;

Exceeds Second Quarter Production Guidance and

Increases Full-Year 2017 Crude Oil Guidance

DENVER - August 9, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOG), an oil and gas exploration and production company with primary assets in the Wattenberg Field in the Denver-Julesburg Basin of Colorado, today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2017.

Second-Quarter 2017 Highlights


•	Second-quarter average net sales volumes of 44,172 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) including 23,088 barrels per day (Bbl/d) of oil. Production volumes exceeded the high end of the Company’s oil guidance and exceeded the midpoint of the guidance range for total equivalent volumes;

•

Extraction reported second quarter net income of $7.2 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share¹, compared to a net loss of $127.6 million for the same period in 2016 and net income of $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged² was $74.7 million for the second quarter, up 91% year-over-year and up 45% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDAX was $74.9 million, up 90% year-over-year and up 76% sequentially;


•	Turned to sales 67 gross (62 net) operated wells with an average lateral length of approximately 7,100 feet, and completed 51 gross (46 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 7,300 feet, consistent with the Company’s previously announced development plan; and


•	Extraction expects third-quarter 2017 average net sales volumes to be 59-62 MBoe/d with 32-33 MBbl/d of crude oil and increases full year crude oil production guidance to 24-27 MBbl/d. Reaffirms the Company’s previous full-year 2017 equivalent production of 48-54 MBoe/d, capital and operating expense guidance.

Commenting on second-quarter 2017 results, Extraction's Chairman and CEO Mark Erickson said: “Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly to extend our strong operating track record as a public company. We expect to make the third quarter our best quarter in Company history and continue to feel confident about meeting our 2017 guidance.”

“We now have over 60 Niobrara wells online utilizing our enhanced completions and are very pleased by our results from these wells over the course of these first several months. Although much of the data is still early time, we continue to be encouraged by the flatter production profile we are seeing from all of the wells thus far.”

² Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, read “-Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged.”

Financial Results

Second quarter average net sales volumes were 44,172 BOE/d, an increase of 60% year-over-year and 32% sequentially. Crude oil volumes of 23,088 Bbl/d exceeded the high end of the Company’s previously issued guidance while total equivalent volumes exceeded the midpoint of the guidance range. Crude oil accounted for approximately 71% of the Company’s total revenues recorded during the second quarter of 2017.

For the second quarter, Extraction reported oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue of $119.8 million, as compared to $65.4 million during the same period in 2016, representing an increase of 83%. Revenue increased 34% sequentially driven by an increase in average daily production, which was partially offset by modestly lower commodity prices.

For the second quarter, Extraction reported net income of $7.2 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $127.6 million for the same period in 2016 and net income of $8.7 million for the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged was $74.7 million for the second quarter, up 91% year-over-year and up 45% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDAX was $74.9 million, up 90% year-over-year and up 76% sequentially.

Lease operating expenses (LOE) excluding transportation and gathering expenses for the second quarter tota $14.1 million, or $3.51 per BOE, which was slightly above the high end of the Company’s guidance range of $12.5 to $13.5 million. LOE during the second quarter was negatively impacted by approximately $0.7 million due to the acceleration of the Company’s program of safety testing and inspections of flowlines and process lines per the Notice to Operators issued by the Governor of Colorado in May 2017. Extraction sees no impact to its full-year LOE guidance range, as this testing is performed annually as part of its ongoing safety protocols. As Extraction brings on more horizontal production throughout the year, per-unit LOE is expected to continue to decrease, resulting in full-year LOE coming in within the Company’s guidance range.

Transportation and gathering expense related to natural gas and NGL sales for the second quarter was $10.0 million, or $2.50 per BOE. This was in-line with the first quarter on an absolute basis and down 27% per-unit as a result of the Company’s significant increase in oil sales as compared to the Company’s natural gas and NGL sales.

The following table provides a summary of our sales volumes, average prices and certain operating expenses on a per BOE basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively:

Operational Results

During the second quarter, the Company’s aggregate drilling, completion, leasehold and midstream capital expenditures totaled approximately $272 million, $240 million of which was for drilling and completion. Extraction invested approximately $30 million on leasehold and $2 million on midstream. Extraction’s total drilling and completion capital expenditures for the first half of 2017 were approximately $449 million including $20 million for non-operated drilling and completion. Due to the completion of higher working interest pads during the first half of the year, Extraction expects its drilling and completion capital expenditures to be weighted towards the front half of 2017. As a result, the Company remains on track and on budget with its full-year drilling and completion capital expenditure schedule.

Extraction reached total depth on 41 gross (25 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 10,100 feet, completed 51 gross (46 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 7,300 feet and turned to sales 67 gross (62 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 7,100 feet during the second quarter. 33 gross (31 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 8,200 feet were turned on in the back half of the second quarter and contributed little to second-quarter production as these wells were still in various stages of cleanup. These 33 wells are expected to contribute significantly to third quarter volumes. Extraction completed 2,474 total stages during the second quarter while pumping approximately 854 million pounds of proppant.

Commenting on the results from the Company’s enhanced completion program to date, Extraction's President Matt Owens said, “We now have more than three months of production history from dozens of wells on our pads utilizing enhanced completions, and they are confirming our early-time expectations by maintaining a shallower decline and higher oil cuts. This production profile has held true for each pad we have turned on so far, giving us greater confidence in outperformance.”

Update on New Acquisition Area

To date Extraction has invested approximately $255 million, which includes $160 million previously announced and paid in 2016, across several transactions to acquire approximately 30,000 net acres in the new acquisition area.

The Company’s first operated Niobrara well in the area has been online for 180 days and is currently outperforming management’s 50% enhanced completion type curve by more than 10%.

Commenting on the Company’s new acquisition area, Matt Owens said, “We are pleased to see our first well producing consistently above the upper end of our enhanced completion Niobrara type curve after six months. We look forward to discussing this area in greater detail towards the end of 2017 after we have successfully solidified our acreage position.”

Third Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Outlook

For the third quarter of 2017, Extraction expects its average net sales volumes to be 59-62 MBoe/d, which represents a 37% increase over our second-quarter 2017 volumes at the midpoint. The Company's crude oil production in the third quarter of 2017 is expected to average 32-33 MBbl/d, which represents a 41% increase over second quarter of 2017 at the midpoint. The Company expects its third quarter LOE excluding transportation and gathering expense to be between $15 million and $16 million and our cash general and administrative expenses to be between $11 million and $12 million.

For the full-year 2017, we are raising our expected crude oil production guidance to 24-27 MBbl/d from our previously disclosed guidance range of 23-25 MBbl/d. We continue to expect our full-year 2017 net sales to average between 48-54 MBoe/d.

Mark Erickson, Extraction’s Chairman and CEO, said: “While the second quarter was one characterized by significant production growth, we expect third-quarter production growth to be even greater. We are achieving this while maintaining our capital discipline and sticking to the development budget we outlined at the end of last year. Our second quarter results demonstrated that our enhanced Niobrara wells produce a much higher percentage of oil at the beginning of their life cycle. Our third-quarter guidance continues to reinforce this as we again expect oil production to grow more than our total equivalent production.”

Debt and Liquidity

Extraction ended the second quarter with $89 million of cash on its balance sheet, an undrawn borrowing base of $475 million and over $540 million of available liquidity after giving effect to letters of credit. In addition, subsequent to quarter end, Extraction issued $400 million of senior unsecured notes to enhance its liquidity position. Using the midpoint of our 2017 guidance, we have hedged approximately 85% of our crude oil volumes and 80% of our natural gas volumes for the second half of 2017 as of July 31, 2017.

Rusty Kelley, Extraction’s Chief Financial Officer commented, “Balance sheet strength remains our top priority. With our current liquidity position and strong hedge profile, we feel confident that we can continue to execute and generate very robust growth in a variety of oil price environments.”

Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are not measures of net income (loss) as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) adjusted for certain cash and non-cash items, including depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion, impairment of long lived assets, exploration expenses, rig termination fees, acquisition transaction expenses, commodity derivative (gain) loss, settlements on commodity derivatives, premiums paid for derivatives that settled during the period, unit and stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, interest expense, income taxes, and non-recurring charges. We define Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged as Adjusted EBITDAX adjusted for settlements on commodity derivative instruments and premiums paid for derivative that settled during the period.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance. Certain items

excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital, hedging strategy and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are widely followed measures of operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged and net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is provided in the table above. Additionally, our management team believes Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX, Unhedged are useful to an investor in evaluating our financial performance because these measures (i) are widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, among other factors; (ii) help investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure; and (iii) are used by our management team for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDAX is also used by our Board of Directors as a performance measure in determining executive compensation.
