November 4, 2015 4:16 PM EST

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SD) today announced financial and operational results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, presentation slides will be available on the Company's website, www.sandridgeenergy.com, under Investor Relations/Events at 7 am ET on November 5th.

The Company had a strong operational quarter, and has both increased 2015 production guidance and decreased 2015 lease operating expense guidance due to positive ongoing production and expense results and the acquisition of the Piñon gathering system. The acquisition eliminates approximately $40 million of expenses annually beginning in November 2015.

As previously announced during and after the third quarter, SandRidge bought back $350 million of unsecured notes for $124 million in cash (36% of par value), creating annual interest expense savings of $27 million. In the transactions, the company also exchanged $575 million of unsecured notes into similar notes convertible into approximately 364 shares of SandRidge common stock per $1,000 of par value of the notes.

After the close of the third quarter, SandRidge entered into a purchase and sales agreement to acquire assets from EE3, LLC, a North Park Basin, Colorado producer consisting of 16 wells producing 1.0 MBoepd with 136,000 net acres of Niobrara Shale oil development potential.

"Our third quarter results featured continued cost control, strong operations, and we drilled eight more extended laterals. We also addressed $925 million of debt through bond repurchases at a steep discount to face value, and additional bond exchange agreements reflecting conversion of debt to equity at a very large premium to our recent share price, making these exchanges extremely accretive to shareholders. In October, we created considerable value by acquiring the Piñon gathering system, reducing annual expenses by approximately $40 million." said James Bennett, SandRidge's Chief Executive Officer and President.

"Topping off the significant and varied activity of recent weeks, our $190 million acquisition of assets in Colorado, which we announced today, gives SandRidge entry into the derisked Niobrara Shale oil play. We intend to allocate significant capital there, taking advantage of our medium depth horizontal drilling and infrastructure management skillsets. Combining continued development of our existing Mid-Continent assets with our new high return Niobrara play, we aim to diversify and improve our overall capital efficiencies. We are visibly capturing balance sheet, operational, and acquisition opportunities to enhance our value proposition to investors."

Drilling and Operational Activities

Mid-Continent: During the third quarter of 2015, SandRidge drilled 31 laterals. The Company averaged six horizontal rigs operating in the play. The Company's Mid-Continent assets produced 70.6 MBoepd during the third quarter (30% oil, 19% NGLs, 51% natural gas).

West Texas: During the third quarter, Permian Basin properties produced approximately 4.2 MBoepd (82% oil, 11% NGLs, 7% natural gas). Legacy West Texas Overthrust properties produced approximately 5.1 MBoepd (99% natural gas, 1% oil).

Operational Highlights

  • Average third quarter production of 79.9 MBoepd, a 10% decrease versus the second quarter of 2015
  • Achieved $2.3 million per Mississippian lateral cost in the third quarter, a $700,000, or 23%, reduction from 2014 per lateral costs
  • Spud 14 laterals with multilateral design in the third quarter (8 extended laterals and 6 full section development laterals) with an average cost of $2.2 million per lateral
  • 19 single Mississippian laterals delivered an average 30-day IP rate of 447 Boepd (51% oil), 127% of Mississippian type curve in the third quarter
  • 101 multilaterals delivered a cumulative average program to date 90-day IP rate of 280 Boepd (52% oil), 100% of Mississippian type curve through the third quarter
  • Reduced Mid-Continent annual LOE guidance by $0.80 per Boe primarily due to a reduction in power use and generator rentals

Operational Highlights - Subsequent to Third Quarter

As previously announced, the Company acquired the Piñon gathering system, in connection with its West Texas Overthrust properties. Acquisition of this asset eliminates ~$40 million of annual expenses, beginning in November 2015.

Steve Turk, SandRidge's Chief Operating Officer noted, "The teams delivered strong results averaging 79.9 MBoepd in the third quarter, 70.6 MBoepd from our original Mid-Continent assets. Confidence in our program led to the decision to again raise the lower end of our annual production guidance by 500 MBoe. Ahead of our year end goal, we also achieved an average cost of $2.3 million per Mississippian lateral in the third quarter. New drilling in the quarter consisted of 56% multilaterals from extended lateral development and our improved full section development design, including our first successfully executed 2-mile extended lateral Woodford well. Expanding upon these established capabilities, we are excited about applying the team's proven low cost operations expertise to our newly acquired Niobrara assets in the North Park Basin. We are confident that our experience in medium depth horizontal drilling and our disciplined approach to reducing operating costs will enhance the value of this oily multiple bench shale resource play."

EBITDA from Oilfield Services and Other is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes from net income interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for EBITDA from Oilfield Services and Other is Net Income from Oilfield Services and Other. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast the excluded items for future periods and/or does not forecast the excluded items on a segment basis.

(2) 

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes gain or loss due to changes in fair value of derivative contracts and gain or loss on sale of assets. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast the excluded items for future periods.

(3) 

Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes from net income interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, gain or loss due to changes in fair value of derivative contracts and gain or loss on sale of assets. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest is Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast the excluded items for future periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) income, and adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest are non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company defines adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and adjusted for cash paid on financing derivatives. It defines EBITDA as net loss (income) before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization and accretion of asset retirement obligations. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding asset impairment, interest income,  gain on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, loss (gain) on sale of assets, legal settlements, severance, oil field services – Permian exit costs, gain on extinguishment of debt and other various items (including non-cash portion of noncontrolling interest and stock-based compensation). Pro forma adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is adjusted EBITDA excluding adjusted EBITDA attributable to properties or subsidiaries sold during the period.

Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The Company also uses these measures because adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA allow the Company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Management also uses the supplemental financial measure of adjusted net (loss) income, which excludes asset impairment, gain on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts, gain on convertible notes derivative liabilities, loss (gain) on sale of assets, severance, oil field services – Permian exit costs, gain on extinguishment of debt and other non-cash items from loss applicable to common stockholders. Management uses this financial measure as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net (loss) income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for loss applicable to common stockholders.

The supplemental measure of adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is used by the Company's management to measure the impact on the Company's financial results of the ownership by third parties of interests in the Company's less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest excludes the portion of asset impairment and (gain) loss on derivative contracts net of cash received (paid) on settlement of derivative contracts attributable to third party ownership in less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries from net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest.  

The supplemental measures of pro forma cash and cash equivalents and pro forma debt as presented herein are cash and cash equivalents and debt adjusted for issuances, repurchases and conversions into common stock of debt subsequent to period end.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to operating cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) income available to common stockholders, adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, pro forma cash and cash equivalents and pro forma debt.

Cautionary Note to Investors - This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, but not limited to, the information appearing under the heading "Operational Guidance." These statements express a belief, expectation or intention and are generally accompanied by words that convey projected future events or outcomes. The forward-looking statements include projections and estimates of the Company's corporate strategies, future operations, net income and EBITDA, drilling plans, oil, and natural gas and natural gas liquids production, price realizations and differentials, reserves, operating, general and administrative and other costs, capital expenditures, tax rates, efficiency and cost reduction initiative outcomes, infrastructure utilization and investment, and development plans and appraisal programs. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, our success in discovering, estimating, developing and replacing oil and natural gas reserves, actual decline curves and the actual effect of adding compression to natural gas wells, the availability and terms of capital, the ability of counterparties to transactions with us to meet their obligations, our timely execution of hedge transactions, credit conditions of global capital markets, changes in economic conditions, the amount and timing of future development costs, the availability and demand for alternative energy sources, regulatory changes, including those related to carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We refer you to the discussion of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in comparable "Risk Factors" sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed after the date of this press release. All of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on our Company or our business or operations. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
