Continental Resources (NYSE: CLR) reported Q4 EPS of $1.14, $0.59 better than the analyst estimate of $0.55.

John D. Hart, Continental's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Looking ahead, our strategy is to maintain our financial strength and focus on operating efficiencies until commodity prices improve.

Continental's 2015 guidance for natural gas differentials has been updated to $0.00 to negative $0.50 per Mcf due to market weakness in natural gas and natural gas liquids. Guidance has also been updated to reflect an income tax rate of 38% due to increased operations in Oklahoma.
