Parsley Energy Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial And Operating Results; Raises Production Guidance And Lowers Unit Cost Estimates

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Parsley Energy, Inc. (NYSE: PE) ("Parsley," "Parsley Energy," or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The Company has posted to its website a presentation that supplements the information in this release.

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights

  • Net oil production increased 14% quarter-over-quarter and 57% year-over-year to 67.7 MBo per day. Total net production averaged 107.8 MBoe per day.(1)
  • Parsley reported an unhedged oil price realization of $64.29/Bbl net of transportation costs during 2Q18. This represents a differential of just $3.62 compared to the average NYMEX WTI price for the quarter, displaying the benefits of the Company's diversified pricing exposure. Parsley also agreed in principle to bolster its takeaway capacity through multiple agreements with large oil purchasers that would, if all are completed, cover up to 165,000 Bo per day of gross operated oil production by year-end 2019.(2)
  • The Company demonstrated strong cost control during the second quarter of 2018, driven by significant savings from the Company's growing water infrastructure network and the execution of a stable development plan. As a result, Parsley is lowering full-year 2018 unit cost estimates.
    • Parsley reported 2Q18 lease operating expense ("LOE") per Boe of $3.66, up only slightly versus the peer-leading expense the Company posted in 1Q18, and is lowering full-year 2018 LOE per Boe guidance from $3.75-$5.00 to $3.50-$4.25.
    • Both general and administrative expense ("G&A") per Boe and cash based G&A per Boe, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, decreased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year to $3.67(1) and $3.12,(1) respectively. Parsley is lowering full-year 2018 cash G&A per Boe guidance from $3.50-$4.25 to $3.25-$3.65.
  • Parsley placed 45 gross (44 net) operated horizontal wells on production during 2Q18. This higher-than-anticipated net well count was driven by operational efficiency gains and acreage trades that increased Parsley's average working interest. In light of these trends, the Company is increasing the number of operated horizontal wells it expects to place on production in 2018 from 144 net wells to approximately 158 net wells.(3) These additional net wells are not predicated on the addition of incremental rigs or completion crews.
  • Having compressed cycle times to levels last achieved in early 2017 prior to the integration of major acquisitions and the associated activity ramp, Parsley's contemplated development program in the second half of 2018 reflects a gradual transition back to a larger average pad size.
  • The Company is increasing full-year 2018 net oil production guidance from 65-70 MBo per day to 68.0-70.5 MBo per day. At the midpoint, the updated range translates to estimated year-over-year growth of 54%.
  • Parsley is revising its 2018 capital budget as a result of shorter cycle times and higher working interest. The Company previously indicated that sustained oil price strength and associated service and equipment cost inflation would bias expectations toward the upper end of its initial guidance range of $1.35-$1.55 billion. These expectations were confirmed, primarily as a function of labor tightness, while the imposition of steel tariffs also translated to higher well costs. Relative to the top of the previous range, Parsley is revising its 2018 capital budget upward by $100-$200 million to reflect the additional net wells the Company expects to place on production this year, yielding an updated range of $1.65-$1.75 billion.

"Parsley Energy continues to execute across the organization in 2018," said Bryan Sheffield, Parsley's Chairman and CEO. "With a steady development profile in place, our teams have found ways to boost operational efficiencies and extract more value per barrel of production. We expect these trends to continue as we implement Parsley's standard of excellence across a long-lived, high quality asset base."

Operational Update

Parsley's strong sequential production growth was driven by solid execution across multiple business units, highlighted by efficient development operations and the execution of acreage trades that increased the Company's average working interest.

Activity Overview

During the second quarter, the Company spud 43 and placed on production 45 gross operated horizontal wells. Parsley's working interest on wells placed on production was approximately 97%, with an average completed lateral length of approximately 8,750 feet. Completion activity was weighted toward the Midland Basin, where the Company placed on production 37 gross operated horizontal wells, with the Delaware Basin comprising the remaining 8 gross operated horizontal wells. Parsley expects that development activity will remain weighted to the Midland Basin for the remainder of the year, consistent with prior Company commentary.

Notable Well Results

Parsley turned 14 wells to production in Glasscock County during 2Q18, representing a significant portion of the Company's total completion activity during the quarter. These wells included two wells on the Brunson lease which targeted the Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B zones in a stacked configuration. Early results from these two 1.5 mile lateral wells are promising, with peak 30-day production rates averaging 1,277 Boe per day (84% oil), representing the Company's strongest stacked Wolfcamp results in Glasscock County to date. More broadly, Parsley's growing portfolio of well results across Glasscock County evidences the quality of the Company's Glasscock acreage, with Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B results since 2017 showing steady improvement and outperforming Parsley's Midland Basin reference curve in the aggregate.

Takeaway Positioning

During 2Q18, Parsley reported an unhedged oil price realization of $64.29/Bbl net of transportation costs, representing a differential of just $3.62/Bbl compared to the average NYMEX WTI price for the quarter. Parsley's current insulation from weaker Midland basis differentials is the product of a proactive marketing strategy that sought to diversify regional pricing exposure more than 12 months ago.

Parsley has recently taken steps to supplement its advantaged takeaway position, agreeing in principle to multiple agreements with large oil purchasers. These firm transport agreements would, if all are completed, cover up to 165,000 Bo per day of gross operated oil production by year-end 2019,(2) and also maintain favorable pricing elements by pricing a significant portion of the Company's barrels relative to Gulf Coast and international benchmarks.

"Securing flow assurance and pricing insulation were top priorities for us as we scaled up our operations 12 months ago and this foresight is now being rewarded through clear growth visibility and strong oil price realizations," said Matt Gallagher, Parsley's President and COO. "We continue to grow a crude production stream that is attractive to premier purchasers and expect to leverage these in-demand barrels to achieve favorable terms on incremental takeaway agreements. It is a distinct advantage to contemplate future development plans unencumbered by takeaway constraints or expensive long-term transportation costs."

Financial Update

Parsley's solid operational execution this quarter translated to strong performance in key financial measures.

During 2Q18, the Company recorded net income attributable to its stockholders of $119.2 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to net income attributable to its stockholders of $82.9 million, or $0.32 per share, during 1Q18. Excluding, on a tax-adjusted basis, certain items that the Company does not view as indicative of its ongoing financial performance, and adding back the non-controlling interest allocated to Class B stockholders, adjusted net income for 2Q18 was $106.4 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $81.1 million, or $0.31 per share, in 1Q18.(4)

Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and exploration expense ("Adjusted EBITDAX") for 2Q18 was $340.1 million, up 20% quarter-over-quarter and up more than 130% when compared to the same measure in 2Q17.(4)

Parsley maintained strong cost control during the second quarter of 2018. The Company reported LOE per Boe of $3.66,(1) up only slightly versus the peer-leading expense the Company posted in 1Q18, and is lowering its full-year 2018 LOE per Boe guidance from $3.75-$5.00 to $3.50-$4.25. Favorable LOE cost trends were driven by expansion of Parsley's cost-effective water management system, as well as reduced power costs associated with the recent commissioning of an electrical substation in the Delaware Basin.

Both G&A per Boe and cash based G&A per Boe, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, decreased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year to $3.67(1) and $3.12,(1) respectively. Parsley is lowering full-year 2018 cash G&A per Boe guidance from $3.50-$4.25 to $3.25-$3.65. Encouraging G&A cost trends are a function of a stable development pace following a period of accelerating development activity.

Strong realized pricing and favorable trends in the above-mentioned cash operating costs drove a robust operating cash margin of $37.25 per Boe, or 78% of the Company's average realized price per Boe.(4)

Parsley reported capital expenditures of $477 million during the quarter, comprised of $387 million for drilling and completion activity and $90 million for facilities and infrastructure. Elevated facilities and infrastructure spending is a function of a proactive build-out of Parsley's growing water infrastructure network. These efforts spanned several counties and included a water recycling pilot in Martin County with favorable initial results. Reported 2Q18 capital expenditures also include $10 million associated with non-operated development activity.

The Company is revising its 2018 capital budget as a result of shorter cycle times and higher working interest. Parsley previously indicated that sustained oil price strength and associated service and equipment cost inflation would bias expectations toward the upper end of its initial guidance range of $1.35-$1.55 billion. These expectations were confirmed, primarily as a function of labor tightness, while the imposition of steel tariffs also translated to higher well costs. Relative to the top of the previous range, Parsley is revising its 2018 capital budget upward by $100-$200 million to reflect the additional net wells the Company expects to place on production this year, yielding an updated range of $1.65-$1.75 billion.

Liquidity and Hedging

As of June 30, 2018, Parsley had approximately $1.3 billion of liquidity, consisting of $301 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, and an undrawn amount of $991 million on the Company's revolver.(5)

Almost all of Parsley's expected 2018 oil production is subject to hedge protection, and the Company recently added to its 2019 hedge position. Parsley's hedging strategy protects its balance sheet and anticipated cash flow while retaining significant exposure to higher commodity prices. For details on Parsley's hedging position, please see the tables below under Supplemental Information and/or the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, upon availability, for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

- Tables to Follow -

__________

(1)

Natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") sales and associated production volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2018 reflect adjustments associated with Parsley's adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), effective January 1, 2018. Accordingly, all references to 2Q18 production volumes and per Boe unit costs likewise reflect this adoption, which has the effect of increasing certain natural gas and NGLs volumes and revenues, offset by a corresponding transportation and processing cost such that there is no change to reported net income. The recognition and presentation of oil volumes and associated revenues and expenses are unaffected by the adoption of ASC 606.

Previously provided full-year guidance for production volumes and unit costs incorporated the anticipated effect of the adoption of ASC 606.

For more information on ASC 606 and a reconciliation of 2Q18 production and unit costs under ASC 605 and as adjusted under ASC 606, please see the table and associated commentary below under Supplemental Information and/or the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, upon availability, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration and abandonment costs, net interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (benefit), change in Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") liability, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, (gain) loss on sale of property, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, inventory write down, (gain) loss on derivatives, net settlements on derivative instruments and net premiums on options that settled during the period.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows the Company to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company excludes the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. The Company's computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to the GAAP financial measure of net (loss) income for each of the periods indicated.

Operating Cash Margin

The Company defines operating cash margin as net income (loss) before income tax expense, other revenues, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration and abandonment costs, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, other operating expenses, net interest expense, (gain) loss on sale of property, prepayment premium on extinguished debt, derivative income (loss), change in TRA liability, interest income, and other income (expense). Operating cash margin is not a measure of operating income as determined by GAAP. The amounts included in the calculations of operating cash margin were computed in accordance with GAAP. Operating cash margin is presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measure of net income attributable to Parsley Energy, Inc. stockholders. We use operating cash margin as an indicator of the Company's profitability and ability to manage its operating income. This measure is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. The following table provides a reconciliation of operating cash margin to net income attributable to Parsley Energy, Inc. stockholders.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure used by management to evaluate financial performance, prior to non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, net cash received for derivative settlements, net premiums received on options that settled during the period, (gain) loss on sale of property, exploration and abandonment costs, acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and change in TRA liability, while adjusting for noncontrolling interest and the associated changes in estimated income tax. Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it may enhance investors' ability to assess Parsley's historical and future financial performance. Adjusted net income should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income, operating income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the number of weighted average diluted shares used to calculate actual net income per share is based on the fact that, under the "if converted" and treasury stock methods, Class B Common Stock was not recognized because it would have been antidilutive.

(2)

For purposes of calculating adjusted net income per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, Class B Common Stock and restricted stock and restricted stock units were not recognized because they would have been antidilutive using the treasury stock method.

Changes to natural gas and NGLs sales were made in accordance with the control model defined in ASC 606. Under the new control model, we are required to identify and separately analyze each contract associated with revenues to determine the appropriate accounting application.

As a result of this analysis, we modified our accounting and presentation of natural gas and NGLs sales, and transportation and processing costs under certain marketing agreements. For additional information related to our adoption of ASC 606, please refer to Note 2—Summary of Accounting Policies—Impact of ASC 606 Adoption in our consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, upon availability, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
