HOUSTON, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Apache
Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) today announced first-quarter 2014
earnings from continuing operations of $753
million or $1.90 per diluted
common share and adjusted earnings,* which exclude certain items
that impact the comparability of results, of $707 million or $1.78 per share. For the same period in the prior
year, Apache reported earnings from continuing operations of
$759 million or $1.91 per diluted common share and adjusted
earnings of $797 million or
$2.00 per share. Net cash provided by
operating activities totaled approximately $2.3 billion in first-quarter 2014, compared with
$2.6 billion in the prior year, with
cash from continuing operations before changes in operating assets
and liabilities* totaling $2.2
billion, compared with $2.3
billion in first-quarter 2013.
"A record-setting performance by our Permian Region continues to
drive strong overall results for the company," said G. Steven Farris, chairman, chief executive
officer and president of Apache. "We remained the most active
driller in onshore North America,
operating an average of 82 rigs during the quarter."
Apache's onshore North American liquids production increased 21
percent in first-quarter 2014 compared with the same period a year
ago. The first-quarter 2014 average of 198,500 barrels per day for
North American onshore liquids was up 6 percent compared with the
fourth-quarter 2013.
"We continued to strengthen our portfolio and build momentum
toward a strong second half of 2014," Farris said. "Apache
intensified its focus on North
America liquids production by completing the sale of our
Argentina operations and selected
conventional natural gas properties in Western Canada.
"We are currently testing new plays and completion ideas along
the Gulf Coast and are encouraged by early results in Canada where a focus on liquids-rich plays
contributed to a 10 percent increase in crude oil and natural gas
liquids (NGLs) compared with the preceding quarter," Farris said.
"Internationally, we are on track for first oil from significant
development projects offshore Australia later this year at the Balnaves and
Coniston fields, and we announced two new discoveries at the Matruh
and Shushan basins in Egypt's
Western Desert."
Apache also returned additional capital to shareholders,
purchasing 5.9 million shares of Apache common stock on the open
market from January through March
2014.
First-quarter production and operating highlights
Highlights from first-quarter drilling include:
- Total worldwide net daily production of oil, natural gas and
NGLs averaged 640,000 boe per day. Including discontinued
operations in Argentina, daily
production averaged 672,000 boe per day. Liquids production
comprised 58 percent of the total from continuing operations, up
from 57 percent for the fourth-quarter 2013.
- The Permian and Central regions increased liquids production
31,000 barrels per day over the prior-year period. Total production
from the two regions averaged 239,000 boe per day.
- The Permian Region achieved record production averaging 150,000
boe per day, up 25 percent from the prior-year period. The region
averaged 38 rigs in operation during the quarter and spud 202 gross
wells (80 horizontals).
Oil and gas prices
Apache's mix of hydrocarbon production during the first-quarter
2014 included approximately 48 percent crude oil and 10 percent
NGLs. Crude oil and NGLs contributed 82 percent of the company's
revenue during the period.
Worldwide, Apache received an average price of $101.03 per barrel of crude oil during the first
quarter compared with $102.42 per
barrel in the prior-year period. Apache received an average price

Reconciliation of
income attributable to common stock to adjusted
earnings:
|
|
|
|
The press release
discusses Apache's adjusted earnings. Adjusted earnings
exclude certain items that management believes affect the
comparability of operating results and are meaningful for the
following reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Management uses
adjusted earnings to evaluate the company's operational trends and
performance relative to other oil and gas producing
companies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Management believes
this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the
practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported company
earnings for items that may obscure underlying fundamentals and
trends.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
The reconciling items
below are the types of items management believes are frequently
excluded by analysts when evaluating the operating trends and
comparability of the company's results.

Reconciliation of
net cash provided by operating activities to cash from continuing
operations before changes in operating assets and
liabilities:
|
The press release
discusses Apache's cash from operations before changes in operating
assets and liabilities. It is presented because management believes
the information is useful for investors because it is used
internally and widely accepted by those following the oil and gas
industry as a financial indicator of a company's ability to
generate cash to internally fund exploration and development
activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt. It is also
used by research analysts to value and compare oil and gas
exploration and production companies, and is frequently included in
published research when providing investment recommendations. Cash
from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities,
therefore, is an additional measure of liquidity, but is not a
measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating,
investing, or financing activities.
|
The following table reconciles net cash provided by
operating activities to cash from operations before changes in
operating assets and liabilities.
