Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) (“Denbury” or the “Company”) today announced net income of $0.4 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017.  Excluding special items, the Company reported adjusted net income(1) (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter of $14 million, or $0.04(1)(2) per diluted share.  Adjusted net income(1) for the third quarter of 2017 differs from the quarter’s GAAP net income due to the exclusion of $25 million ($16 million after tax) of expense from noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives(1) (a non-GAAP measure) and $7 million in severance-related payments associated with the Company’s workforce reduction, offset in part by a $9 million tax benefit for enhanced oil recovery income tax credits and other tax adjustments, with the GAAP and non-GAAP measures reconciled in tables beginning on page 7.

Sequential and year-over-year comparisons of selected quarterly financial items are shown in the following table:

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and CEO, commented, “We made great progress on several fronts in the third quarter, reflecting both the quality of our assets and, more importantly, the dedication of our workforce to Denbury’s long-term success.  Even with the impact of Hurricane Harvey, we arrested the production decline that began in early 2015.  We expect production to further increase in the fourth quarter, positioning us nicely heading into 2018.  We made significant improvements in our cost structure, both through a workforce reduction and other identified cost savings, and held our normalized LOE flat with the second quarter.  Our capital discipline, combined with our low decline, low capital intensity asset base, delivered yet another quarter of investing within cash flow, and we expect cash flow and development capital to be nearly balanced for the full year.  Finally, our bank group recently reaffirmed the $1.05 billion borrowing base of our bank credit facility, ensuring a continued strong liquidity cushion as we head into 2018.”

REVIEW OF OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Denbury’s production averaged 60,328 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) per day (“BOE/d”) during the third quarter of 2017, up 1% (554 BOE/d) from the second quarter of 2017.  Denbury’s production for the current quarter was reduced by approximately 2,000 BOE/d due to Hurricane Harvey, while the acquisition of Salt Creek Field on June 30, 2017 added approximately 2,200 BOE/d.  Due to conditions associated with Hurricane Harvey, the Company suspended operations and temporarily shut-in all production at its Houston area fields (including Hastings, Oyster Bayou, Conroe, Thompson, Webster and Manvel fields) for an approximate 10-day period, representing net production of approximately 16,000 BOE/d, and the only field that remained partially shut-in was Thompson Field.  Thompson Field had net production just prior to the storm of approximately 1,000 BOE/d, nearly all of which has now been returned to production.  Further production information is provided on page 11 of this press release.

Denbury’s average realized oil price per barrel (“Bbl”), excluding derivative settlements, was $47.78 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $47.16 in the second quarter of 2017, and $43.45 in the prior-year third quarter.  Including derivative settlements, Denbury’s average realized oil price per Bbl was $47.80 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $44.92 in the second quarter of 2017, and $42.12 in the prior-year third quarter.  The Company’s realized oil price in the third quarter of 2017 was $0.34 per Bbl below NYMEX oil prices, compared to $1.16 per Bbl below NYMEX in the second quarter of 2017, and $1.57 per Bbl below NYMEX in the third quarter of 2016, with the improvement in the price differential impacted by the improvement in LLS index prices relative to NYMEX, as well as continued improvement in Rocky Mountain region differentials during the third quarter of 2017.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company sold approximately 65% of its crude oil at prices based on, or partially tied to, the LLS index price, and the balance at prices based on various other indexes tied to NYMEX prices, primarily in the Rocky Mountain region.

Receipts on settlements of oil derivative contracts were $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to payments of $12 million in the second quarter of 2017, and payments of $7 million in the third quarter of 2016.  The prior-period settlements resulted in a decrease in average net realized prices of $2.24 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2017 and a decrease of $1.33 per Bbl in the third quarter of 2016.

The Company’s total lease operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were $118 million, an increase of $6 million, or 6%, on an absolute-dollar basis when compared to those in the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $11 million, or 11%, when compared to the third quarter of 2016.  The higher expense in the third quarter of 2017 was due primarily to the Company’s acquisition of a non-operated working interest in Salt Creek Field on June 30, 2017, and to a lesser degree associated with increases related to clean-up expenses for Hurricane Harvey and higher CO2 expense, primarily due to costs associated with a CO2 well workover during the third quarter of 2017.  Offsetting these increases were lower expenses across various categories, a portion of which is due to the down-time associated with fields impacted by Hurricane Harvey.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company’s CO2 use averaged 487 million cubic feet per day, an increase of 6% when compared to the third quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 20% when compared to the second quarter of 2017.  The increase in CO2 use when compared to prior year is primarily attributable to the Hastings redevelopment project, with the sequential decrease impacted by Hurricane Harvey in the third quarter of 2017, as well as a decrease in injected volumes at Grieve Field, as the field had reached its target operating pressure.

General and administrative expenses were $27 million in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $1 million when compared to the second quarter of 2017 and an increase of $3 million when compared to the third quarter of 2016, with the increase during both periods attributable to severance-related payments associated with the August 2017 workforce reduction, partially offset by overall reductions in compensation-related expenses due to lower headcount.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, totaled $25 million in the third quarter of 2017, relatively unchanged from the third quarter of 2016.  Interest expense in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 exclude approximately $13 million of interest on the Company’s 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021, which was recorded as debt for financial reporting purposes and is therefore not reflected as interest expense.  A schedule detailing the components of interest expense is included on page 13 of this press release.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) decreased to $52 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $55 million in the third quarter of 2016.  This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in plant depreciation due to accelerated depreciation on the Riley Ridge gas processing facility during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Denbury’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 differed from the Company’s statutory rate of 38%, primarily due to the impact of recognizing a tax benefit of $9 million in the current quarter for enhanced oil recovery credits, which was offset in part by stock-based compensation shortfalls (tax deduction less than book expense) of $2 million and $6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  With pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 being close to break-even, the net tax benefit from these items had a significant impact on the current quarter’s effective tax rate.

BANK CREDIT FACILITY

The Company today also announced that its $1.05 billion borrowing base under its senior secured bank credit facility (the “Facility”) was reaffirmed in conjunction with its regularly scheduled fall borrowing base redetermination.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a total of $495 million of borrowings outstanding under its Facility, compared to $490 million as of June 30, 2017 and $301 million as of December 31, 2016.  The $194 million increase in borrowings over the nine-month period is primarily due to the Company’s capital expenditure level, which includes $91 million of oil and natural gas property acquisitions in the first nine months of 2017, $52 million of cash outflows for working capital changes, and repayments of other non-bank debt of $46 million.  After consideration of $62 million of outstanding letters of credit, the Company had $493 million of borrowing base availability as of September 30, 2017.  Assuming oil prices remain in the low-to-mid $50’s per Bbl for the remainder of 2017, and based on currently-projected cash flows and capital spending levels, the Company anticipates that its bank debt at the end of 2017 should be in the range of $450 to $475 million.

2017 CAPITAL BUDGET AND ESTIMATED PRODUCTION

The Company’s 2017 capital budget, excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, remains unchanged from the previously estimated amount of approximately $250 million.  The capital budget consists of approximately $195 million of tertiary, non-tertiary, and CO2 supply and pipeline projects, plus approximately $55 million of estimated capitalized costs (including capitalized internal acquisition, exploration and development costs and pre-production tertiary startup costs).  Of this combined capital expenditure amount, approximately $181 million (72%) has been incurred through the third quarter of 2017.  Prior to Hurricane Harvey, the Company was on track to meet the midpoint of its 60,000 to 62,000 BOE/d full-year production guidance range.  Considering the previously mentioned and still anticipated 500 to 700 BOE/d full-year impact of Hurricane Harvey, the Company expects its 2017 production to fall within, but in the lower half of the previous guidance range.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income (loss) measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations.  Management believes that adjusted net income may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or special or unusual items not indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends.  Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  Adjusted cash flows from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables.  Management believes that it is important to consider this additional measure, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measure can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in production, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of commodity derivatives income (expense) (GAAP measure) to noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives (non-GAAP measure)

Noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a non-GAAP measure and is different from “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in that the noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives represents only the net change between periods of the fair market values of open commodity derivative positions, and excludes the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period.  Management believes that noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a useful supplemental disclosure to “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” because the GAAP measure also includes settlements on commodity derivatives during the period; the non-GAAP measure is widely used within the industry and by securities analysts, banks and credit rating agencies in calculating EBITDA and in adjusting net income (loss) to present those measures on a comparative basis across companies, as well as to assess compliance with certain debt covenants.
