TRIANGLE PETROLEUM PROVIDES FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR ALL BUSINESS SEGMENTS FOR SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2016

 

DENVER, Colorado, September 8, 2015 — Triangle Petroleum Corporation (“Triangle” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: TPLM) today provides an operational update and reports its second quarter fiscal year 2016 financial results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2015 (“Q2 fiscal 2016” or “Q2 FY 2016”).

 

Second Quarter Highlights for Fiscal Year 2016 (ended July 31, 2015)

 

·                  Quarterly production volumes of ~1,242 Mboe (13,500 Boepd)

·                  Consolidated cash flow from operations (before working capital changes) of $36.1 million and operating cash flow of $40.8 million

·                  Consolidated adjusted revenue of $126.7 million including $17.0 million of cash receipts from hedge settlements

·                  Consolidated adjusted-EBITDA of $44.3 million

·                  11% quarter over quarter decrease in consolidated cash general and administrative expenses

·                  $286.7 million of total liquidity as of July 31, 2015, including $45.9 million of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity on the Triangle USA Petroleum (“TUSA”) and RockPile Energy Services (“RockPile”) credit facilities

 

·                  TUSA generated $72.3 million of revenue in Q2 FY 2016 including $17.0 million of cash receipts from hedge settlements as compared to $77.6 million of comparable revenue in Q2 FY 2015 (-7% y/y)

·                  TUSA’s pre-hedge oil price differential declined ~36% q/q to $4.92/Bbl

·                  Spud 5 gross (4.1 net) and completed 9 gross (6.6 net) operated wells while dropping to a one-rig operated program during Q2 FY 2016

·                  Released remaining operated rig due to current depressed commodity pricing

·                  Inventory of 18 gross (16.4 net) operated wells waiting on completion as of July 31, 2015 provides flexibility to manage production and capital spend

·                  TUSA’s cash operating expenses (LOE, Gathering, Transportation and Processing, production taxes, and G&A) per unit were $19.63/Boe in Q2 FY 2016 compared to $18.55/Boe in Q1 FY 2016 (+6% q/q) and $24.26/Boe in Q2 FY 2015 (-19% y/y)

 

·                  RockPile generated $69.4 million of stand-alone revenue in Q2 fiscal 2016 as compared to $102.1 million in Q2 fiscal 2015 (-32% y/y)

·                  RockPile generated $7.9 million of stand-alone EBITDA during the quarter as efforts to reduce operating and input costs began to offset price concessions passed along to date

·                  Completed 48 wells in the quarter including 39 for third parties and 9 for TUSA

·                  Completed 1,811 stages (+2% q/q) representing a new quarterly record

Use of Segment Information and Non-GAAP Measures

 

(1)         The Company often provides financial metrics for Triangle’s segments of operation. Revenues for each segment are disclosed in notes to the financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, but the sum of those stand-alone revenues differ from Triangle’s consolidated revenues for the corresponding reporting period. Triangle’s consolidated revenues would reflect segment revenues reduced for intercompany sales (i.e. for RockPile services to Triangle’s E&P segment).

 

Triangle also believes that stand-alone segment revenue assists investors in measuring RockPile’s performance as a stand-alone company without eliminating, on a consolidated basis, certain revenues attributable to services for Triangle’s economic interests in wells operated by Triangle’s E&P segment.

 

(2)         Adjusted-EBITDA represents income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items, and non-recurring items. Adjusted-EBITDA is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Triangle has presented Adjusted-EBITDA by segment because it regularly reviews Adjusted-EBITDA by segment as a measure of the segment’s operating performance. Triangle also believes Adjusted-EBITDA assists investors in comparing segment performance on a consistent basis without regard to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items, and non-recurring items which can vary significantly depending upon many factors.

 

The total of Adjusted-EBITDA by segment is not indicative of Triangle’s consolidated Adjusted-EBITDA, which reflects other matters such as (i) additional parent company administrative costs, (ii) intercompany eliminations, (iii) paid-in-kind interest expense on the 5% convertible note, and (iv) the use of the equity method, rather than consolidation, for Triangle’s investment in Caliber.  The Adjusted-EBITDA measures presented in the “Reconciliation Tables” may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

 

Triangle believes that net income before income taxes is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to Adjusted-EBITDA. Net income before income taxes will be significantly affected by consolidated interest expense and full-cost pool amortization. Such amortization varies with changes in proved reserves, well costs during the year, and future plans in developing proved undeveloped reserves.

 

(3)         Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders adjusted to exclude certain charges or amounts in order to provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and the results of prior periods. Triangle presents this measure because (i) it is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s performance is measured relative to the performance of its peers, (ii) this measure is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts, and (iii) charges or amounts excluded cannot be reasonably estimated and guidance provided by the Company excludes information regarding these types of items. These adjusted amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe that net income (loss) is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted net income (loss).

Raised LOE guidance in conjunction with Q2FY’16 results on September 8, 2015 to account for higher than expected workover and saltwater disposal costs. Reflects efforts to optimize internal cash G&A and shifting of some expenses to TPC from TUSA. Comparison versus annualized expense incurred over Oct ‘14 to Dec ‘14 time period during which time RPES operated 4 hydraulic fracturing spreads; RPES anticipates purchasing or leasing an additional spread in FY2016. Excludes intercompany charges. Given the impairments recorded to date, the amount of accumulated NOLs for federal tax purposes and the possibility that the Company could recognize additional impairments in future periods if commodity prices remain at current levels or decline, we do not anticipate having any income tax expense for FY2016.

Appendix Q2FY’16 Intersegment Table 26 (a) Corporate and Other includes Triangle's corporate office and several subsidiaries that management does not consider to be part of the exploration and production or oilfield services segments. Also included are results from Triangle's investment in Caliber, including any changes in the fair value of equity investment derivatives. Other than Caliber, these subsidiaries have limited activity. (b) $5.7 million RockPile, Caliber, and other services consolidated elimination results in a $5.7 million reduction in oil and natural gas property expenditures. *Reference Note 3 – Segment Reporting in our Q2 fiscal year 2016 Form 10-Q for additional details.

Use of Segment Information and Non-GAAP Measures 1) The Company often provides financial metrics for Triangle’s segments of operation. Revenues for each segment are disclosed in notes to the financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, but the sum of those stand-alone revenues differ from Triangle’s consolidated revenues for the corresponding reporting period. Triangle’s consolidated revenues would reflect segment revenues reduced for intercompany sales (i.e. for RockPile services to Triangle’s E&P segment). Triangle also believes that stand-alone segment revenue assists investors in measuring RockPile’s performance as a stand-alone company without eliminating, on a consolidated basis, certain revenues attributable to services for Triangle’s economic interests in wells operated by Triangle’s E&P segment. 2) Adjusted-EBITDA represents income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items, and non-recurring items. Adjusted-EBITDA is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Triangle has presented Adjusted-EBITDA by segment because it regularly reviews Adjusted-EBITDA by segment as a measure of the segment’s operating performance. Triangle also believes Adjusted-EBITDA assists investors in comparing segment performance on a consistent basis without regard to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items, and non-recurring items which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. The total of Adjusted-EBITDA by segment is not indicative of Triangle’s consolidated Adjusted-EBITDA, which reflects other matters such as (i) additional parent company administrative costs, (ii) intercompany eliminations, (iii) paid-in-kind interest expense on the 5% convertible note, and (iv) the use of the equity method, rather than consolidation, for Triangle’s investment in Caliber. The Adjusted-EBITDA measures presented in the “Reconciliation Tables” may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation. Triangle believes that net income before income taxes is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to Adjusted-EBITDA. Net income before income taxes will be significantly affected by consolidated interest expense and full-cost pool amortization. Such amortization varies with changes in proved reserves, well costs during the year, and future plans in developing proved undeveloped reserves 3) Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders adjusted to exclude certain charges or amounts in order to provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and the results of prior periods. Triangle presents this measure because (i) it is consistent with the manner in which the Company's performance is measured relative to the performance of its peers, (ii) this measure is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts, and (iii) charges or amounts excluded cannot be reasonably estimated and guidance provided by the Company excludes information regarding these types of items. These adjusted amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe that net income (loss) is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted net income (loss).
