Record Revenues Drive FX Energy Results

Salt Lake City, November 10, 2014  FX Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FXEN), today announced a net loss of $16.8 million, or $0.31 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.��Excluding a noncash, intracompany, foreign currency exchange loss of $13.4 million, the Company would have recorded a third quarter 2014 net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.06 per share.

For the comparable 2013 quarter, the Company reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.12 per share.��Excluding a noncash, intracompany, foreign currency exchange gain of $11.5 million, the Company would have recorded a third quarter 2013 net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.10 per share.

Third Quarter Total Revenues Reach Record Levels; Higher Gas Prices and Higher Oilfield Services Revenues Lead the Way

Oil and gas revenues were $8.5 million during the third quarter of 2014, or 6% higher than the $8.0 million during the same quarter of 2013.��Total revenues jumped 24% to $10.2 million for the 2014 third quarter, compared to $8.2 million for the same quarter in 2013.

Unlike still depressed U.S. natural gas prices, the price for the Companys natural gas, which is exclusively in Poland, remained strong.��Specifically, gas prices during the third quarter of 2014 averaged $7.26 per thousand cubic feet, or Mcf, compared to $7.02 per Mcf during the same quarter of 2013.��Prices for the Companys U.S. oil production decreased during the 2014 quarter.��Oil prices decreased 11% over the year, averaging $78.18 per barrel in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $88.14 per barrel in the same quarter of 2013.

Total net oil and gas production increased 5% to 1,113 million cubic feet equivalent (Mmcfe) during the third quarter of 2014, compared to 1,062 Mmcfe during the 2013 quarter.��New and full period production from the Companys Lisewo-1, Lisewo-2, Winna Gora, and Komorze-3K wells more than offset production declines at the Zaniemysl-3 and Roszkow wells.��The Companys average daily production rate for the 2014 third quarter was 12.1 million cubic feet equivalent (Mmcfe) per day.

Clay Newton, Vice President of Finance, remarked: We continue to enjoy the benefits of a strong natural gas market in Europe, where our realized prices are consistently much higher than in the United States.��This comparative price advantage and its attendant strategic benefits are a primary reason that we remain focused on Poland.��We continue to devote the bulk of our capital and technical expertise to expanding our operations in that country.

Nine-Month Revenues also Reach Record Levels

Oil and gas revenues for the 2014 first nine months reached record levels.��Oil and gas revenues accelerated 4% to $26.8 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared to $25.7 million for the same period of 2013.��Total revenues for the first nine months of 2014 rose an even greater 15% to $29.9 million, compared to $25.9 million in the first nine months of 2013.

The Company reported a net loss of $22.3 million, or $0.42 per share, for the first nine months of 2014.��Excluding noncash, intracompany, foreign currency exchange losses of $15.4 million, the Company would have recorded a net loss attributable to common stockholdersfor the first nine months of 2014 of $7.0 million, or $0.13 per share.��The Company reported a net loss of $15.6 million, or $0.30 per share, for the first nine months of 2013.��Excluding noncash, intracompany, foreign currency exchange losses of $1.0 million, the Company would have recorded a net loss for the first nine months of 2013 of $14.6 million, or $0.28 per share.

Total production for both nine-month periods was 3.4 billion cubic feet equivalent.��Daily production for both periods was 12.6 Mmcfe/d.��Gas prices during the first nine months of 2014 averaged $7.41 per Mcf, compared to $7.06 per Mcf during the same period of 2013, an increase of 5%.��Oil prices decreased 1% over the year, averaging $79.60 per barrel in the first nine months of 2014, compared to $80.75 per barrel in the same period of 2013.

Higher Revenues Improve Operating Cash; Noncash Charges Continue to Vary

Net cash provided by operating activities of $8.8 million during the first nine months of 2014 was more than triple the net cash provided by operating activities of $2.9 million during the 2013 period.��The primary driver of the year-to-year increase was the Companys $4.0 million increase in revenues from period to period.

The noncash foreign exchange losses of $15.4 million and $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, are included in other income and expense.��The losses come primarily from recognition of losses on U.S. dollar-denominated, intracompany loans from FX Energy, Inc., to FX Poland, its wholly owned subsidiary.��These are noncash losses only and could vary greatly depending upon future exchange-rate changes.

Improved Liquidity Going Forward

Following a successful preferred stock offering during the third quarter, the Companys cash and investments totaled approximately $27.5 million at the end of September 2014.��In addition, working capital was approximately $28.7 million, and $15 million remains available under the Companys credit facility.��This availability would be increased should the recent Tuchola and Karmin discoveries be included in the borrowing base.

The Companys first preferred stock dividend, approximately $385,000, was paid to preferred shareholders on October 31, 2014.

The Company will host a conference call and webcast today to discuss 2014 third quarter and first nine-month results and update operational items at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.��Conference call information is as follows:��U.S. dial-in-number: 888-572-7025; International dial-in-number: 719-325-2484; Passcode: 3516139.��Request: FX Energy, Inc.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements.��Forward-looking statements are not guarantees.��For example, exploration, drilling, development, construction, or other projects or operations may be subject to the successful completion of technical work; environmental, governmental, or partner approvals; equipment availability, or other things that are or may be beyond the control of the Company.��Operations that are anticipated, planned, or scheduled may be changed, delayed, take longer than expected, fail to accomplish intended results, or not take place at all.

In carrying out exploration it is necessary to identify and evaluate risks and potential rewards.��This identification and evaluation is informed by science but remains inherently uncertain.��Subsurface features that appear to be possible traps may not exist at all, may be smaller than interpreted, may not contain hydrocarbons, may not contain the quantity or quality estimated, or may have reservoir conditions that do not allow adequate recovery to render a discovery commercial or profitable.��Forward-looking statements about the size, potential, or likelihood of discovery with respect to exploration targets are certainly not guarantees of discovery or of the actual presence or recoverability of hydrocarbons or of the ability to produce in commercial or profitable quantities.��Estimates of potential typically do not take into account all the risks of drilling and completion nor do they take into account the fact that hydrocarbon volumes are never 100% recoverable.��Such estimates are part of the complex process of trying to measure and evaluate risk and reward in an uncertain industry.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties outside FX Energys control.��Actual events or results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements.��For a discussion of additional contingencies and uncertainties to which information respecting future events is subject, see FX Energys SEC reports or visit FX Energys website at www.fxenergy.com.
